Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 77 Blood Lion

After docking the ship in the star port, Bernardita took Russell and the star bomber to take a small shuttle to the Hive Spire where the prophetess was located, where Alexei was interrogating the Ark Eldar captured by the human empire.

These loathsome and cunning aliens were originally imprisoned by the Inquisition in the filthy prison at the bottom of the Hive City. Many of the individual brains and Eldar cores have been permanently disabled by the inquisitors' cruel methods.

The Eldar Empire established by the Aeldari was once the overlord of the Milky Way, claiming to have a vast territory with tens of millions of livable star systems.As a psychic race supported by the Old Ones, the Eldar are selfish, arrogant, stubborn and self-righteous, revealing a disgusting arrogance from every cell from the sky cap to the sole of the foot.

Perhaps the once powerful Eldar Empire is indeed qualified to be so arrogant, but the formerly powerful Eldar Empire has already completely collapsed due to the indulgence of the Eldar itself.

The current Ada Spirit Race is obviously just a group of self-inflicted bereaved dogs, but they still keep saying "our old Ada's father is the father" without giving up.

The arrogance and stubbornness of Fodora's Ark Eldar made the judges exhaust their means in the past few years without asking for much valuable information. On the contrary, they tossed and killed many precious captives, and took out bits and pieces of fragmented memories from their brains, which were of no practical use.

It wasn't until Alexei recently proposed to interrogate them in person that the Inquisition reluctantly transferred this group of half-dead aliens to the upper floor of the hive capital for further detention.

After all, there was no way they would allow the Emperor's prophetess to condescend to set foot on the filthy bottom of the hive, because Alexei never wore shoes.

——No underwear, except for the blindfold strips filled with holy words and the vacuum white robe covering the body, there is no third piece of cloth on the prophetess, not even a headband to tie her hair, which symbolizes her complete devotion to the emperor.

Before Russell left the battleship and headed to Nefer Prime, he specifically instructed the 200 members of the Order of Truth staying on the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth that no matter what happened, they must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not leave the cabin to go to the outside world, otherwise they would suffer fatal disasters.Even the calculus who manages this group of people claims to be.

The overall climate of Nifel's main star is relatively cold, and all the residential areas except the north and south poles are generally divided into 4 major sections. The "Saint Grace Area" ruled by the Leiput family is located on the equator of the planet, which is the warmest and most comfortable.

Bernardita drove the shuttle with Russell and the Starstriker all the way through the strict inspection post and the Raiput family coat of arms hanging high above the Hive City, and entered the towering tower located on the equator.

The upper-class nobles who had already heard the news had been waiting here with their entourage and clerks to welcome them. They had many cooperation matters that needed to be discussed, discussed... and shown goodwill with the Governor of Falla.

But that has nothing to do with Starbombers.

"The secret room where the prophetess interrogates the spirit race is at the deepest part of the steeple. Show this token to the judge inside, and you can enter smoothly... Sorry, I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey." Bernardita whispered, and handed a delicate golden coat of arms to the star bomber.

Then she turned around and stayed in the meeting hall with "Russell", talking with the upper-class nobles about many matters related to the L-star gate.

Without pointing it out, Russell could also think of the reason why Bernatita didn't go to see Alexei with him.It's actually very simple—after all, she's still a victim, so she naturally doesn't want to meet her fellow judges. Judges who don't agree with her ideas will inevitably put pressure on Alexei, hoping to convict and try Bernatita as soon as possible.

That would put Alexei in a dilemma.

The situation of this former lady judge is very difficult... Russell played with the golden coat of arms in his hand, and looked back at Gray Wind who was standing with Bernardita, who seemed to be arguing with the nobleman.

He shook his head, put on the black robe of the star bomber, and walked along the corridor to go deeper into the building.

The judges who interrogated the Eldar along with the prophetess belonged to the same faction. To be precise, it was an old judge leading three newcomers who had just entered the profession.

When Russell came to the hidden porch deep in the steeple with a golden coat of arms, the old judge known as "Blood Lion" was waiting with his three novice apprentices in front of the thick stone door engraved with the coat of arms of the Leipte family, waiting for something.

For the arrival of the "star bomber", the blood lion did not overreact. He just raised his eyes slightly from his raised collar, glanced at the golden coat of arms in Russell's hand, and after confirming his identity, he closed his eyes and acquiesced in his approval.

Russell maintained the indifference that a star bomber should have, walked past the blood lion without saying a word, and entered behind the stone gate.

There are three stone gates.

The first door is engraved with the coat of arms of the Reypt family, the second is printed with the gear skull of the Mechanic Order, and the third door is the sacred double-headed eagle of the Empire.

Such strict confinement shows the human empire's deep-rooted hatred and extreme vigilance against this dangerous alien race, the Eldar.

Walking into the secret room behind the three stone gates, the first thing that hits the face is a strong bloody smell that is quite different from human blood, but has some strange similarities.

Russell looked up, and saw dozens of dying, slender humanoid creatures with pointed ears nailed to the three walls of the secret room like dried bacon.

It is nailed, not hung.

High Gothic poems were engraved one by one, and the black steel rods with the imprint of purity pierced through the shoulder blades, collarbone, pelvis, and knees of these Eldar, and nailed their tortured, damaged and broken bodies to the wall like livestock without dignity.

This is the masterpiece of Judge Blood Lion.

According to Bernardita's information, the idea believed by the Blood Lion belongs to an extreme branch of the Purity faction in the Inquisition Chamber: "The Monopoly faction".

The Monopoly faction believes in the doctrine of the destiny of the empire, and believes that human beings are the natural masters of the Milky Way, and should be the only masters. Therefore, they are extremely dark and cruel to all alien and heretical methods, so cruel that even other judges who are also Purists feel disgusted and even terrified of them.

Russell looked at the finely cut breast and abdominal cavity of a female Eldar nailed to the wall, as well as the suspicious glands hanging on both sides of her thighs, and thought that the rumors about the cruelty of the Monopoly faction might be a bit conservative.

In this blood-stained room, a blindfolded female prophet wearing a simple white robe stood barefoot in the center of the secret room. Her long pure white hair and dots of golden light around her body seemed incompatible with the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere here.

Alexei turned around, bent down to Russell with his hands on his lower abdomen, and bowed deeply.

"You are here."

"I'm here." Russell's voice was misty and unreal: "I'm not good at interrogation, and these spirits are dying, there's no way to interrogate... What do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do it yourself." Alexei showed him a pleasing and beautiful smile, and said, "Thanks to the emperor's guidance, I successfully extracted and ate the soul of the Eldar prophet, and thus obtained all its memories."

"In the memory of the prophet of the spirit race, I discovered a very... incredible thing, I think this thing must be told to you."

Russell became interested: "Devouring souls? Unexpectedly, the emperor's saints would also go heresy... Tell me, what is incredible?"
