Although the fleet has arrived in the orbit of Terra, Holy Terra is not a simple place to begin with, and Soshyan has a special status. Just how to enter Terra has become a question worthy of discussion.
As a messenger, Faisal immediately returned to the High Lords Council on the ground to resume his mission. However, the replacement sent by the High Lords did not immediately convey when the Astral Knights should enter Terra and how to enter. Terra's question was just to ask them to wait for a while, so the incident came to a strange halt.
Soshiyan envisioned a grand triumphal ceremony, for which he also brought some "specialties" from the maelstrom. However, the high lord did not seem to intend to follow his wishes.
There was no order from Terra, so the fleet could only wait in the mountain formation. The slowness of the imperial bureaucracy once again refreshed Soshyan's understanding. He thought that he was already moving slowly enough. , and even wandered around some planets for a while, just to give Terra time to prepare, but it seems that they haven't prepared anything yet?
While waiting in the mountain formation, Soshyan could only visit this ancient space fortress. However, this matter is also very magical. Even the Imperial Fist itself is a little bit crazy now. The internal structure of the mountain formation is unclear. In some places, the passages are directly closed, and we don't know what is behind it.
There is one place that interests Soshyan the most - the Essenda Archives.
This place is the archives of the Imperial Fist Chapter and the Legion Era. It contains a large number of manuscripts and narrative files of the original body. Soshyan knows that Dorn must have had contact with Xerxes. Perhaps there is something in it. Some key information is recorded.
But this place is highly secretive, and only members of the Fifth Company of the Imperial Fists, the Chapter's Librarians and Chaplains are allowed access.
For this reason, Soshyan specifically went to Lysander and conveyed what he meant. In fact, he was a little embarrassed and nervous when he said this. After all, this was the top-secret archives of the Seventh Legion. After all, he is an outsider.
Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, he got a reply allowing entry, which even made him a little suspicious that there was something inside that he didn't know about.
However, since the Imperial Fist allowed it, Soshyan did not pretend to be coy and walked into this desperate archives openly——
First, he had to take off his armor, and then walked through three There are layers of blast doors, and each layer needs to have his face scanned by the security system. In the process, more than twenty weapons are pointed at his position.
After passing through the explosion-proof door, he still had to wait for a moment, and then a servitor with a lamp led him through a thick wooden door wrapped in bronze, and finally entered the building that recorded the most recent record of the Imperial Fist. Archives of core secrets.
Originally Soshyan thought this would be an extremely huge space. After all, after coming to the solar system, all he saw were various super-giant structures, which almost made him have a different understanding of volume and space. An illusion.
However, in fact, this archive is indeed large, but compared to the entire mountain formation, it appears to be very small.
It is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The farthest point is about four to five hundred meters and the height is about twenty meters. It is divided into three floors. However, the top of the head is not closed. Instead, there are several suspended walkways that connect the corridors along the walls. At first glance, you can see the dark roof. Under the dim light, you can see that bookcases and bookshelves occupy every wall. As long as there is space, it will be crowded with books.
The first floor is filled with bookcases with a height of about four meters. This height is obviously designed so that it will not look too short when used by the original body, nor will it look too short when used by the Astartes. High, there are books or scrolls with different covers and thicknesses neatly stacked in the bookcase.
It is certainly not easy to find what you need in this vast archive, but it is much easier with the help of the Servo Skull.
"Take me to the area where the manuscripts or diaries of the original body are stored."
After receiving Soshyan's voice command, the servo skull holding the searchlight then rose precariously. , began to move, and Soshyan followed it closely.
Apart from the sluggish cleaning machines, he was the only one in this place, so it seemed very quiet and strange. Even the footsteps echoed many times as if there were a group of people wandering in the distance, and the shaking shadows easily made people think that they were surrounded by people. The Watcher's Delusion.
In less than a minute, the servo skull brought Soshyan to a single door. Then the scanner on the door scanned the servo skull and slowly opened it.
Going in, the lighting ball lit up, and a small bookstore appeared in front of Soshyan. There were only three bookshelves against the wall, but they were all individually installed with small stasis fields, obviously to maximize the Preserve this precious information.
Soshiyan then took out a book from it, and after opening it, he said a sentence that made him laugh -
'Perturabo is a petty paranoid, I don't like him 'Soshiyang couldn't help but shook his head and whispered:
"In a sense, Dorn and Perturabo are really brothers, similar in every sense."
Then he suddenly froze, and a thought flashed through his mind. A strange sense of instant vision, as if he had said this.
However, he had no impression at all.
Shaking his head, Soshyan continued to read.
'The Legion still needs training, they have a lot to learn'
Then there was a summary of various battles that Dorn led the new Seventh Legion. Soshyan found that Dorn really liked doing battle summaries. , and recorded in great detail.
As a result, after seeing the back, one sentence almost made Soshiyang laugh out loud.
'Perturabo is a petty and paranoid man who has difficulty communicating. I taught him a lesson in a simulated battle. As a result, his attitude was as smelly and hard as a piece of dried shit. I Hate him'
There is no more behind it, and Soshyan took out another one.
'Brother Horus is a great and proud warrior, he can lead everyone, but sometimes his attitude is not firm enough, which is the fatal weakness of a leader'
'Leon is a proud bigot, I don't Determine whether this is a gift brought to him by Caliban'
'Fulgrim is a man who is good at mediating. If there are more people like him between brothers, everyone may get along more harmoniously'< br>
This is a diary that records the battle in the Midnight Sector. It seems that Dorn also had a conflict with Ryan, but it was not what Soshyan was looking for.
After putting it back, he glanced at it. There seemed to be hundreds of books and materials here. If he looked at them one by one, he didn't know when he would see them.
Then he thought for a while, if it was about the Lost Legion, Dorn might not record it publicly, or display it publicly, so he said to the Servo Skull:
"I need to hide the file. "
At first the servo skull was unmoved, Soshyan repeated it again.
“I need to hide the files.”
At this time, the servo skull suddenly moved and floated to one side of the wall, and then a micro-scanning device stretched out from the wall. After scanning it once, The bookcase slowly slid open from left to right, revealing a space only wide for one person, with two brown-covered booklets floating inside.
Soshyan took the booklet and opened it carefully.
'Horus is coming, I don't know if I can stop him, but this is my duty, I must do it, for this I can only turn the palace into a fortress, destroy and modify myself All beautiful things designed are sad things'
'I finally realized that Coates's nonsense was actually true. Although this does not change the fact that he is still a madman, but if I took what he said seriously at the time, would things have changed? If he were on our side in this rebellion, would the situation be much better? His cruel methods are just right to deal with traitors'
