Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 66 The Road to Redemption ([-])

The warm light of the promethium brazier danced wantonly, dispelling the unique dampness in the study, and the pale orange firelight warmed Lorgar's face. The holy, pale golden skin color outlines the bronzing rune imprint, and there is only a few quill pens constantly rubbing and rubbing in the room.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the subtle sound of the Primarch's lips and teeth opening and closing. It is Lorgar who is silently reciting the sacred prayers of the "Holy Words".

At this moment, Lorgar is compiling a document that will have a great impact on the future. For this reason, he has been working without sleep for dozens of standard Terra days, unless there is anything worthy of his presence. An emergency occurs, or is…

"Lorgar, there seems to be some ambiguity in the commentary to the 3917th Codex—I think you'd better revise it."

Elaine walked up to Lorgar with a stack of heavy documents.

"…What's wrong?"

Lorgar stopped writing with some doubts.

Lorgar has long been used to this sister's unexpected visit—or rather, she seems to remind herself of Perturabo in many ways, and she can always notice some minor details.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Elaine opened a stack of heavy documents and handed them to Lorgar.

Lorgar looked at the original manuscripts of these "Holy Books" with some doubts. Most of them were researched by himself and Elaine in the discussion on the future within a few days, and it was also his best idea for the future of the human empire——

"[As for the issue of religious belief, both the mother group and the child group are all based on the 'Imperial Truth' in their propaganda - for some remote worlds that do not yet understand the existence of the Emperor, a certain degree of conformity with local beliefs can be allowed The direction to carry out the transformation.] ... I think there is no problem?"

Lorgar looked at Elaine in bewilderment, while Elaine covered her face helplessly.

——I clearly didn't mention the [Great Devourer] that will appear in the galaxy in the future to Lorgar, why did this kid bring out the four-armed God Emperor in advance...

Elaine took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"My brother, it seems that the stories I explained to you did have a somewhat inductive effect on you... But, no matter what, your desire to spread the power of faith in the empire... still It’s better to cancel it as soon as possible.”

"However, I don't think the power of faith will cause any big mistakes, sister. Now that we all know that our father is facing some indescribable evil beings, then we should go one step further and bring this spiritual power to life. The power of birth guides him until..."

"—until he really becomes a god?"

Seeing Lorgar's extremely pious appearance, Elaine burst out laughing angrily.

"In this day and age, the existence of faith and spiritual power is the biggest mistake."

"I've told you more than once, Lorgar. The religious paradise you dreamed of will only have a corresponding chance after the completion of the Great Crusade, and one of the less than ideal situations... is that all hope of the Empire of Mankind is shattered." In the absence of rationality, religion can serve as the backbone of human beings."

"Our father is fighting against those... [monsters] born from the heart with reason and reality. Do you understand? Every sincere emotion you admire will turn into a stumbling block for us to walk on this road …When our father can accept the presence of this emotional force, he is no longer the father we know."

"—So, no matter how many thousands of years pass in the future, whether you and I are still alive, whether we are all going to failure or light, no matter what...I will definitely not stop you from this [the oldest spiritual protection of human beings] Embrace...but, at least, not now."

Elaine stared forcefully into Lorgar's eyes.

"All . . . save for after the Great Crusade."

Lorgar seemed to want to say something else, but after being uttered by Elaine along with the word 'Great Expedition', he took the document a little frustrated.

He was persuaded.

Indeed, he instinctively ignored the huge influence that might be produced in some small details. Lorgar has also seen that those people in some remote galaxies who are like life-saving straws for religion, if they don't take the truth contained in the empire If civilization and enlightenment are really brought to them, then it may indeed cause some consequences...

Elaine crossed her arms and sighed as Lorgar quickly changed the contents of the scripture.

It seems that bringing the [knowledge] of the future to the present may indeed cause some unexpected mistakes. At that time, I only talked with Lorgar a little bit about some existences in the subspace, as well as the fate of the human empire and the human race. The mission and existence of the Lord, as well as the obligation of the Primarch, most of the crises that the human race will face in the future...

Lorgar was already ecstatic and immediately decided to adopt the many systems in the future human empire she mentioned in the No.17 Legion, and even wished to lie down and hide and sleep in the future "religious heaven".

Fortunately, I did not explain to Lorgar the entire picture of the too distant and dark 40th millennium, as well as the various turmoil related to the Great Rebellion, otherwise this fanatic would have to establish a foreign country on his own teaching, and became the third Primarch to be completely expelled.

Thinking of this, Elaine couldn't help recalling the current time node.

We are now at the end of the Great Crusade, and if nothing goes wrong, in a few decades, it will be the Battle of Ullano, which wiped out the Greenskin Frenzy, and the Great Rebellion that followed...

She is not fully prepared yet, not only is the grievance war between herself and the blood god not yet over, the broken right arm needs to be retrieved, and the treatment of Perturabo's twisted psychology still needs to be put on the agenda. Even saving Lorgar wasn't quite done yet—now the religiously obsessed brother had to be watched closely, lest he do anything that would cause the Emperor's blood pressure to rise.

And judging from the fact that the blood gods deliberately threw themselves into the perfect city, they don't seem to care about Erebus and Kor Phaeron, the two tiny pawns that promoted the origin of the rebellion...

From this point of view, the fate of the wolf god seems very uncertain...

Endless thoughts and questions burst and disappeared in the well-developed brain of the Primarch, as complex and diverse as the bright stars. Obviously, facing a huge test from the four gods of chaos, time is not the same for her and the human empire. Not too plentiful.

A little sadness appeared between Elaine's brows.

Immediately, Lorgar's voice interrupted her thinking.

"…promise."

"There shouldn't be any problems... At least, there won't be any problems now."

Lorgar handed the revised document to Elaine with a dejected expression.

Although he was very grateful for the trust shown by Elaine, this elder sister who was sent by his father to 'inspect' him, seemed to be fulfilling the obligation of inspection very well.

Even the loopholes she left unintentionally were discovered by her.

Elaine took the document, inspected it a bit and confirmed that there was no problem before nodding slightly in satisfaction.

"That's not bad."

This attitude of daring to face the problem formally is not a failure to live up to the energy I have devoted to Lorgar, a brat full of religious beliefs.

After Elaine fully explained to Lorgar the emperor's attitude towards faith, the difficulties the human empire faced, and the true meaning of the empire's truth, Lorgar finally got out of that confused state of mind. The existence of the emperor is truly regarded as a god, and he does not question his existence and actions.

Although this situation is rather strange in this era of No. 30 millennium, if he can normally survive the great rebellion as a loyalist, there will naturally be a stage for him to shine in the empire of No. 40 millennium.

Therefore, as far as Lorgar's current state is concerned, Elaine does not worry too much about Lorgar's future.

The only worry is that he might be silenced after angering the Emperor.

Immediately, under Lorgar's more confused eyes——Elaine began to pick out the marked parts of the thick pile of "Holy Book" one by one, and quickly stacked them on Lorgar's desk.

"This, this...these are also—!?"

"Of course, my dear brother."

Elaine showed a sly smile.

Obviously, Lorgar's "unintentional move" was not the only one under her "careful selection".

And as a good sister Elaine who fulfilled the emperor's order of 'monitoring Lorgar', she would naturally not miss any opportunity to criticize her, and Lorgar couldn't question any of her criticizing behavior, because no matter where she looked at it , These are very reasonable behaviors—just like when she was picked on by Perturabo back then.

Judging from the fact that the Lord of the Red Sand happily pushed a thick stack of documents in front of Lorgar, she also enjoyed the feeling of being able to use her father's power to severely torture the Primarch brothers.

—One day, Perturabo will not escape.

Satisfied to see Lorgar lamenting the pitiful appearance of entering work, Elaine thought to herself.

She couldn't help but think of the abundant time when she was tortured by endless work.

At the time, her only task was to curb the Maelstrom...without the gaze of Chaos, and without too tight a time limit.

And the heirs who surround me all day long...

Recalling his heirs and the many worlds under his command, Elaine couldn't help sighing.

That war consumed too many things, whether it was resources or lives...

"I don't know how they are doing now..."

Looking at Lorgar, who was immersed in writing the "Sacred Code of the Legion", Elaine's thoughts seemed to drift to the great vortex that was very far away from the Obscure Star Field.

Just hope they are all well.

After all this is over, a new tomorrow awaits us.

Looking at his right arm, Elaine thought to himself.

　I fell asleep while typing last night!
　　Speaking of which, it seems that the patrol bag of the World Eater has been released, and I will get a whole one in two days!
