Chapter 2195 The Ambition of a Pawn
“Originally, I wanted to give you a medal, but Talos, you are so famous, I’m afraid of being recognized.”
Hearing the request After Shi Yang's words, Talos smiled and picked up the teacup handed over by Veronica, took a sip and shook his head.
“This thing is not important.”
Then he looked at Soshyan.
"In addition to asking you to end the expedition, the special envoy probably has other things to do, right?"
Soshiyang, who was sitting on a chair in regular clothes, blinked.
"Did you see it?"
Taros shrugged.
“No.”
"Okay, he asked me to go to Terra."
Talos didn't look surprised and just nodded.
"It can probably be guessed, and the special envoy also said that he would hang the flag of the Astral Knights on Terra. It is certainly impossible for him to bring a flag back. What else?"
After Soshiyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten his throat, he whispered:
"The Forbidden Army is also here."
Talos was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then pondered for a few seconds, and finally sighed and said:
"They asked you to go to the palace?"
Soshiyang nodded.
“Yes, I asked why, but they didn’t speak. I asked who gave the order, but they still didn’t speak. If it weren’t for their size and Faisal’s assurance, I would have even thought they were fake. "
"Of course they won't say that, because no one can order the Imperial Guard unless"
Talos looked at Soshyan's fingers that kept stroking the tea cup and changed the subject.
"Soshyan, you are a little nervous."
"I uh."
"You don't know what they want you to do, you don't know they want you to go Who do you want to meet? In fact, you may have some guesses in your mind, but I think things may not be what you think. Besides, it’s not like you have never seen a confused person.”
“The confused person. ”
After thinking about it for a moment, Soshyan said cautiously:
".Does it really have to be Him?"
Talos suddenly laughed.
“That’s definitely not the case.”
“Huh?”
"Although I have not seen the Emperor with my own eyes, no matter in terms of his behavior or conversation, he is far from the Emperor I have known and known in the past. This is still the issue, the factors that determine a person's personality, or self. What is it? The so-called soul? Or his character and worldview?"
"Don't get me wrong, I just heard about Terra. There are some people over there who use the so-called Emperor Tarot cards to communicate with a certain existence, but I think that existence is definitely not the Beguiler, because he does not need to come to you in this way."
"Okay. Well, it seems that only when we get there can we know who asked these unarmored imperial soldiers to summon me."
Talos looked at Soshyan, and then easily broke through his pretended relaxed expression.
"Soshiyang, your nervousness does not actually come from this matter."
Soshiyang's expression froze at first, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said:
"Actually, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what happens to me. I'm worried about the future of the Gray Marrow of the Chapter. I can already feel that this power is not something I can easily control. It will even affect those warriors who have been implanted with Gray Marrow."
As he spoke, he stared down at his palm, and a flash of bright silver could be vaguely seen along the palm line.
“I don’t know if Terra is the end of this ancient plan. If so, what about the others? Where are the warriors? What will happen to them? To be honest, brother, I regret a little now. If they implant this thing, maybe it would be better if everything stops with me? But if this is His plan, how can I not implement it as an Astartes? Amnak has been hinting to me, This plan has bad intentions, but what can I do? Everything I have is given by Him. I can’t be a traitor, but I don’t want to implicate other people. The soldiers are innocent and they don’t know anything. They should not be involved in this ancient scheme"
After hearing this, Talos raised his head slightly, crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and said:
"Soshiyang, do you like playing chess?" After hearing this, Soshiyang was slightly stunned, and then shook his head. .
“No, unless there’s nothing to do, but you know that’s almost impossible.”
“But you’re in a chess game every day.”
When the other party said this, Soshyan immediately fell into deep thought, staring at himself reflected in the amber liquid surface in the cup in his hand.
“So now you are just a pawn held by an invisible hand at your fingertips. You are helpless but unable to make your own decisions, and every decision made by others may make you fall into the abyss. , Unless it stops at the origin, no one knows what will happen next. So, what can a pawn do in the chess game? "
"Probably."
Thinking. After a moment, Soshyan whispered:
“Only move forward.”
Talos raised his chin.
"Soshiyang, have you ever thought about your ending?"
After a long silence, Soshiyang said slowly:
"I have thought about it."< br>
“What kind?”
"Like those heroes recorded in history, who fell in a great battle and were buried in the tomb of the Chapter's monastic fortress, lying with their brother martyrs."
"What now? "
"I became the leader of the chapter, with incredible power, supported by everyone, and attracted much attention."
"Yes."
Taros changed his sitting posture. He looked even lazier, then tilted his head to one side and looked at the ceiling.
"When I was still a child, I longed to be a hero. That was also my mother's hope. When I became a member of the Legion, I firmly believed that fate was favoring me. When Charles died, I firmly believed that I would be spiritually transformed. My family was killed in an unknown world, but now I am still alive, although I am still a traitor hated by gods and ghosts, and I am alone. So you see, even if you know about fate, you can't help it. "
Then he lowered his head and looked at Soshyan.
“But we can still choose to act according to our own will, so. Soshyan, remember my words, even if we face the real gods, we can at least have a clear conscience and leave no regrets, but I pray for no regrets, even if I am just a pawn who can only move forward."
More than ten seconds later, Soshiyang nodded silently.
“But, I’m afraid that’s not all you’re worried about, right?”
Hearing Talos's seemingly pointed words, Soshyan showed an awkward expression on his face, and finally decided to tell the truth to his most trusted friend.
"And Veronica, she, she, she is pregnant."
After hearing this, Talos said nothing and just tapped the table with his fingers.
This made Soshyan confused.
“Aren’t you surprised?”
"Strange? As far as the situation between you and her is concerned, nothing that happens now will make me feel strange. It's just that I suddenly thought that this timing is a bit too coincidental."
"You mean"
"As soon as she had a child, someone asked you to go to Terra. Although this may be a coincidence, it is still too far to say this. Congratulations on becoming a father."
So Shi Yang smiled bitterly.
“You are making fun of me, brother.”
"I'm very serious. After all, I am also a witness to your marriage."
"Then what do you think I should do?"
