Chapter 2284 City of Miracles
"The Dark Night Labyrinth is an unmarked secret place. It is wise for you not to mention it directly to the Forging General."
While Li spoke hoarsely, A holographic map appeared in the projection device in his hand, illuminating the dark space inside the shuttle.
Just as Soshyan's fleet left Terra and arrived in the orbit of Mars, Li also came to find him with the relics of the Yemenga Star Monolith.
The atmosphere of the second meeting between the two parties was actually a bit awkward, because Soshiyang had already met Mortal, and Li had obviously come to test him on behalf of Mortal before. Of course, this did not mean that what the other party said was false. , at least based on what Soshiyang saw and heard during this period, most of what Li said should be true, but this still cannot avoid the strange feeling when the two meet again.
Fortunately, Li is not a nagging person. He has already taken out the thing from Saturn. What surprised Soshyan is that the thing is just a weird nine-sided body, only the size of a fist, with one of his figures engraved on each side. The unknown symbol, at least not human, nor Ada's, seems to be different from the Necrontyr's, like a combination of countless spirals and circles.
Li couldn’t tell exactly what it did and what it did, so it was probably up to Suo Shiyang to solve it himself.
After the things were delivered, Li also said that he was the one who led Soshyan to the Dark Night Maze.
Finally, he praised Soshiyang for not acting rashly. Originally Soshiyang planned to ask General Foundry about the Dark Night Maze, but he changed his mind before the meeting, mainly because he recalled It seems that this place has never been seen on the terrain map before when I went to Mars. It is likely that this is a very hidden or secret place. Asking about this kind of place rashly may make the foundry general suspicious.
After meeting with Li, the other party confirmed his guess. The Dark Night Maze is a secret among the secrets of Mars. It involves the ancient secrets of Mars. Once Soshiyang tells it, it will be difficult for even Li to end it.
You can't even disturb anyone by going to this place.
Fortunately, although Soshyan arrived, the Foundry General was a step slower. It would take at least 20 hours to arrive from Terra. This time difference was something Soshyan could take advantage of.
So he took action directly and took a shuttle with a covert signal function and headed straight for the Dark Night Maze. He had to get this done before the Foundry General returned to Mars.
Time is quite tight.
“The Dark Night Labyrinth is located between the Tharsis Plateau and Mariner Canyon, hidden under the terrain of the Broken Rift Valley.”
Li's bandaged face looked a little weird under the green holographic light, like a mummy waking up in an ancient tomb. At the same time, he used his dry fingers to draw a red line on the map.
“It is characterized by its depth. The deepest canyon there is six thousand meters deep. It was formed by fault movement in ancient times. The second feature is that it is complex. Under the canyon is a grid-like maze. The terrain is complex and there is a complex magnetic field. Some Mechanicus monks have tried to build a forge nearby, but none of them could last long and were plagued by technical problems. Therefore, there are rumors that this place is not friendly to machine spirits. "< br>
“Actually, it’s because a star god is imprisoned underground.”
Hearing Soshiyang’s words, Li shrugged.
"As you all know, I won't explain it. After we get down there, we still have some distance to walk."
The shuttle has arrived near the stratosphere of Mars and is descending rapidly. Its pitch-black body contains shielding technology to prevent detection equipment from detecting it. After all, Mars can be said to be the place with the highest concentration of technological equipment in the Empire. It’s hard for the real thing to avoid ubiquitous detection.
When the altitude dropped to 5,000 meters, one side window of the shuttle opened, and the Tharsis Mountains appeared on the horizon, as if the ground suddenly rose up to form a series of steep cliffs, and then dropped down again. Towards the vast land of the plateau.
The distant Forge Complex occupies the end of the horizon, but as Li said, the Mechanicus seems to be afraid of this cursed land, even the most hungry sages who want to expand their territory They also dared not carry out any construction at the northern end of the plateau, which also made the entire area extremely empty and lonely. Soon, Soshyan saw that the mountains suddenly sank at the end of the plateau, as if some kind of huge collapse had turned into a series of maze-like deep valleys, overhanging walls and sunken canyons.
The shuttle gradually lowered its altitude, and soon there was darkness outside the window, as if it had fallen from the sky into the deep sea.
"Li, how much do you know about Ada?"
As the shuttle slowly descended, Soshiyang, standing in the dim cabin, suddenly asked in a low voice.
Hearing his question, Li's purple eyes blinked and replied:
"I know. A few, but not too much."
" Do you know how the Holy Grail of Dark Flames was sent to me by the Imperial Army?"
After a moment of silence, Li responded slowly.
“My father discovered it when he was exploring the ruins of the City of Miracles.”
“Where is the City of Miracles?”
“It’s where Terra was hidden. The entrance to the Webway, a glorious ancient Eldar Webway city, no less large than the former Commorragh, was the starting point and key to my father’s great Webway plan, and the end of a broken dream.” (Personal understanding, Bianrou was at that time. They were probably planning to build a Comoros belonging to humans, and they were opportunistic by occupying the magpie's nest, but they didn't understand the fire door mechanism of Douya, and as a result, they built a poor-quality composite board security door and it was kicked to pieces)< br>
“Wait——”
Soshyan immediately grasped the point.
“How could Terra be connected to an ancient Eldar webway city?”
“I don’t know, I wasn’t even born when my father discovered the City of Miracles. These were all my mother’s spare time. As he said at the time, his father organized a team to go explore. Among them were mother, Malcador, and two other people, but mother never mentioned their names. The Holy Grail of Dark Flame was discovered there. I found that this thing was stored with my mother for a while and was used in some difficult battles. There are also other things, but most of them should be sealed in the dark dungeon now. "
Soshiyang thought for a while and continued to ask:
"Thank you for the explanation. Speaking of the Spiritual Tribe, have you ever met the Spirit Tribe?"
Li tilted his head slightly and looked at Suo Shiyang with a strange look in his eyes.
Then he said something.
"As far as personal aesthetics are concerned, I actually prefer the plumper and bigger breast type."
Soshiyang's expression suddenly became very awkward, and he quickly explained:
< br> "Uh, no, that's not what I mean. I, ahem, um. Okay, let me get it straight. Has the Emperor ever had contact with the Eldar in the past? After all, the Webway is a technology mastered by the Eldar, and the Emperor is How do you know it, and how do you learn to use it or even build it? ”
