Chapter 2169 Hidden worries about heirs
After Veronica’s description, Soshyan immediately recognized the identity of the stranger.
"Master Shi? Is he here to see you?"
"I don't know, he didn't say a word, and his behavior was very strange. Is this Master Shi? You The leader of the Tan Sect Electric Monk whom I mentioned?”
“His identity is not that simple, Huo Zhe. Know him and call him Venerable Ananda. Do you remember that I told you that he should be a The Eternal One.”
"Ah!?"
Veronica covered her mouth in surprise.
"Then is there any special reason why he came to me? But why didn't he say a word? And how did he appear here?"
"Speaking of which, Isn’t your mentor very familiar with the Eternal One? Then will he also know Master Shi?”
“This mentor has not mentioned it, but it is impossible to say that he may actually know him. The mentor was still One of the leaders of the Tantric Cult. The Tantric Cult seems to have had a large-scale operation in the Maelstrom. Do you still remember what I told you about the Tantric Cult?”
Soshyan nodded. Regarding the secret cult of the mysterious alien organization during the Horus Heresy, Veronica and he had discussed it for several nights, and it even touched upon the concept of "artificial immortals." However, regarding Eldra didn't tell Veronica much about this matter, and her understanding was very limited.
"Master Shi would not do this for no reason. I just don’t know if he is willing to tell the reason. I feel that this unborn child will continue to have troubles in the future."
"Hmph, the more nervous and troublesome these people are, the more we will give birth to twenty children! No! Twenty-one! If anyone wants to make trouble, let the children beat him up!"
" Hahaha, you... couldn't you say a more auspicious number?"
After that, he told Veronica about the mysterious power he encountered in the space hulk and introduced it in detail. The strange facilities and structures on the two hulks were revealed, including the demon engine manufacturing factory and the chaos portal.
But Veronica said that she had no memory or knowledge about these, but the higher-ups of Jemlok Ark might know something, and she could just ask them when the time comes.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I've prepared dinner."
After that, she took Soshyan's hand and went to the restaurant on the second floor. As soon as the two sat down, A row of unfamiliar maids filed in through the side door.
When Soshiyang saw them, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but it was not because the plates they were carrying were very big - Veronica usually didn't eat much with her appetite, but Soshiyang It's different, so each of the maids is holding a huge silver disk.
What shocked him was the identity of these maids, who had completely undisguised pointed ears and distinctive pointed chins, and Soshyan discovered that Doral's two daughters were among them.
Sister Nestra has a slender figure, calm demeanor, and light steps. She wears an indigo silk dress. Close to the dress is a long line of delicate spiritual bones. Her thick and smooth black hair is draped on her slightly rounded (Ai) Behind the face (up to standard), and the purple almond eyes, you can clearly see Doral's bloodline, which makes her add a bit of the cold temperament of Comoros to the traditional Ada appearance.
The appearance of most of the maids eclipsed in front of Nestra, except for her sister Arohan. Nestela looks more like their mother Lorena, while Arohan looks more like their father Doral, with paler skin and slightly shorter height than her sister, but with a plumper figure and even a toned figure. She has the same purple eyes and straight nose, and her thin lips are often pressed into a thin, straight line, with a wild and unruly temperament, just like Soshiyan first saw in Comoros They were the same back then, she was like a crazy motorcyclist.
She wore a dress made of indigo and crimson woven fabrics, and combed her red hair into braids hanging down to her waist. The braids were scattered with strands of sparkling inspiration pendants. .
Soon, the dishes were served, the maids withdrew, and there were only two people left in the restaurant. Veronica rarely sat across from Soshyan. No matter how big the table was, she would I sat next to him, and it was the same this time.
"Them."
At this time, Veronica's maid, 'Vineleaf Messenger' Lorena, walked in. You must know that this is the central heart of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and a large group of AI rushed out. There might even be more coming. Soshiyang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, so he looked at Veronica.
“This is——”
“Lorena Qing said that I am pregnant and I don’t trust humans to take care of me. I thought about it and agreed. After all, this is my first pregnancy. , there is always something I don’t understand.”
At this time, Lorena came over and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness."
Then she looked at Soshyan.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is pregnant now and must have someone around to take care of you. Please forgive me for making my own decisions."
After hearing this explanation, Soshiyang was relieved and smiled. Nod.
"It should be so, but I didn't think carefully enough. Madam Lorena, you did the right thing. If you need anything else later, please feel free to tell me, or inform Mr. Doral."
Lorena didn't say anything, she just leaned behind her slightly and turned around to walk away. At this time, Veronica suddenly stopped her and asked:
"Lorena, do you know about souls?" Furnace?"
When she said this, Lorena suddenly fell into thinking, then nodded and said:
"I know a little bit, but I don't know what your Majesty wants."
Veronica then recounted what Soshiyan told her about the two hulks. After listening, Lorena fell into deep thought, and after a while she said slowly:
"The Arkworld has been at war with subspace enemies all year round. A long time ago, Lord Jaan Zar once led us to fight against a group of fallen apes and humans. They have a large number of demon engines in their arsenal. After destroying them, we captured They arrived at a prisoner and obtained key information during torture. They claimed to serve a being called the Creator, who was also the master of all soul forges. These huge foundries that existed in abstract forms did not belong to the subspace. The four realms of the Evil God of Destruction are a kingdom composed of gears and pistons, where all evil contracts regarding machinery are made. Any demon can come to these furnaces to find the soul traders who reside here and sign a contract with them. Some demons simply want a shortcut to increase their combat power and gain the favor of their master god, while others want a way to avoid being restrained and not have to endure the shame of exile for a long time. No matter what the demands of each entity, No matter which evil god the demons come from, they must harvest the souls of mortals according to the agreed price and deliver them to the soul furnace. In exchange, they will be stuffed into the machine and then transformed into war machines and demons. Horror fusion, but the amount of those contracts is often extremely huge, and most demons have difficulty repaying it on time, so many demons will try to sign a contract to repay in installments, but this also means almost doubling the interest. Under the so-called compound interest , a large number of demons eventually became slaves of the creditor."
