How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 147 I’m not sleepy if you ask this
Prophet Natas saluted those in the room in a dance-like movement.If a human was asked to do this action, it would undoubtedly look very funny.But all Eldar are natural dancers or actors, so the same movements performed by Natas Seer look very elegant.

"Lord Robert Guilliman," he greeted, "and—I did not expect to see you here, 'The Throne's Favorite'."

The second half of his sentence was obviously directed at Fujimaru Ritsuka.Guilliman therefore noticed that when the Eldar Prophet stepped into the threshold, the girl sitting in the wheelchair with her back straightened changed her expression in an instant, apparently entering some kind of... "fighting state".

After confirming that no one wanted to answer this question for her, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke with a subtle sense of satisfaction: "Forgive me for being stupid, Prophet Natas. I had to react before I realized that you were calling me—— After all, the last time I met your people, I was apparently called the 'source of disaster', 'the destroyer', or some other similar title."

——The Eldar assassination team she encountered on Jestal was not an isolated case.Although these similar encounters were all passed without any danger (so she suspected that those who decided to snipe her were just some insignificant little Arks), they were enough to consume almost all of her goodwill towards this race.

This accusation did not embarrass Prophet Natas, or perhaps he was actually embarrassed, but no one present could tell.The prophet just replied calmly: "It seems that you have met some unfriendly people of mine. However, just as there may be sunshine and clouds in the same sky at the same time, I must let you know that it is not All of us see you as a threat. At the very least, I say on behalf of the Reaper Army that we would like to see you as an ally."

Wow, that's really flattering.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought so, but she did not say it out loud, and even had an impeccable polite smile on her face.Of course she can continue to pursue the victory, but she knows that her position here is ultimately a guest, and a guest should not drag the host's topic away at will.The exchange of these two sentences was enough for Guilliman to understand her position, so she walked down the steps calmly: "Thank you and the forces you represent, at least for the great cause of fighting Chaos together, we are all duty-bound. "

This is the truth, but there is still some room for manipulation: Fujimaru Ritsuka seems to agree with the identity of "Ally of the Death Army", but there is not even a word of relevant content in the entire sentence.Seer Natas was obviously aware of this, and he wanted to continue to say something to make up for it, but Guilliman was faster than him:

"Open the secret grid." The Imperial Regent did not speak to anyone present, but he did attract the attention of everyone in the room.Following his voice, there was a hum of mechanical operation from the seemingly ordinary book shelf against the wall, and a hidden drawer emerged from the supposedly empty space between the frames.Guilliman took out a flat box, opened it and placed it on the coffee table in the center of the room, showing it to everyone.

The blue light of the stasis force field was revealed inside the box. Under the blue light was an old book that was obviously a few years old. It had been carefully bound, but had already become damaged by the power of time. The leather cover was written in sharp Gothic fonts. The title of the book is written: "The Holy Words of the Emperor".

"...the core classics of the state religion?" the space warrior think tank asked.

Guilliman simply confirmed this, and Fujimaru Ritsuka added smoothly: "It should be the only copy of the early version, otherwise I can't think of any reason why it would be worthy of being put into the stasis field by the regent."

Guilliman, who had changed from "Mr. Robert" to "Lord Regent" in front of the Eldar, glanced at the little girl in the wheelchair without leaving any trace, and agreed with this: "I asked people to do material identification and spiritual analysis. It can be scanned, it was probably printed 8000 years ago."

"That was almost 1000 years after the Great Rebellion." Ritsuka Fujimaru commented, "Although it is of great reference value, I'm afraid it can't be considered the 'first edition'."

Out of curiosity, after consulting Guilliman, the think tank turned off the stasis field in the box, carefully picked up the book from it, and tried to read the first page.

"It's a bit difficult," he commented. "It's Gothic, but it's written in a very old way."

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed completely uninterested in this, and did not even try to move the wheelchair and move closer to Think Tank.But she still recited with a pronunciation and intonation similar to those from 1 years ago: "'Rejoice, just because I have brought you the gospel of light-the gods walk among us.'"

Then she switched back to the more common accent of this era and continued: "I can't recite it too much. It might be rude to our Eldar friends."

Prophet Natas did "glitch" backwards a little as she began to recite the first two verses of the Ayat.It can be seen that he was obviously not happy about this, but he still basically maintained restraint and expressed "thank you for understanding" to Fujimaru Ritsuka very politely.

Guilliman was a little surprised by this scene, but his statesmanlike qualities prevented him from showing it.But his think tank obviously sensed something in the two "recitations" of Fujimaru Ritsuka. He pulled his eyes out of the ancient book and stared at this seemingly ordinary girl with some suspicion: "You just What have you done?"

"Recite the original text of the first edition of "The Emperor's Words" in a 'correct' accent. Of course, I also used some magic tricks." Fujimaru Ritsuka said calmly, "You must have discovered that I am not a spiritual person." Ability, but in this way, I can also directly guide the Emperor's psychic energy to kill enemies from Chaos. There are only two cases in the entire galaxy that can achieve similar effects with such a simple method. , which is why Prophet Natas is a little nervous about it.”

The think tank was obviously more interested in this topic, but before he could organize his words and continue asking questions, Guilliman's voice rang first: "Have you read the first edition?"

"To be exact, it's 'carry'." Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a look of disgust, "That's really annoying, but there's no way, I have to rely on this to make a living." Guilliman's expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish: "Then you also know who the author of the first edition of the Book of Holy Words is?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, and the moment before he opened his mouth to answer, he stopped and turned his head towards the other two people in the room.

The think tank was a little confused: "Author? What happened to this person?"

"That was written by my brother Aurelion Lorgar," Guilliman replied.

This answer obviously stunned the think tank: "What? The traitor Primarch?"

"Yes." There was a hint of bitterness in Guilliman's voice. "I have recently wondered whether it was the Emperor's own resistance to Lorgar's beliefs that caused my brother to turn to others who were more willing to accept these things. of gods.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a complicated expression at this time: "I have something to say, but I shouldn't say it on this occasion, so I shut up."The think tank who was caught in the middle looked around and asked in a deliberately controlled tone that could not detect emotion: "So, I am the last person in this room who knows about this?"

The Spirit Clan prophet nodded slightly proudly: "The identity of the author is known to all of our clan."

"Don't take it too seriously. After all, this is a 'top secret' that will never be made public in the empire." Fujimaru Ritsuka was so relieved, "Imagine if this news spread everywhere——"

"——That will lead to catastrophic consequences. The legitimacy of the state religion will undoubtedly be shaken, and its impact will be immeasurable." There is no need for her to finish all the following. As a member of the Ultramarines sub-group, the think tank itself has enough Knowledge of autocompletion may be developed.He suddenly realized the weight of the facts here, and the shabby little book suddenly seemed to be extremely heavy in his hands.

He held the book at a loss and looked at his genetic father: "Why? Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"Because since my return, there have been too many things that have shaken my previous beliefs." Guilliman's eyes passed over the other people in the room. "I hope to use this to discuss a question with you: 'The existence of divinity' What is the nature of ?'"

He paused for a moment, then continued to explain his problem:
"In other words, what exactly is 'god'?"

　Miwu (no more).

　　To be honest, I don’t quite understand the timeline of the original work. Theoretically speaking, in "The Divine Plague", they went to Kiri after interrogating the T Demon (Nine Sentences of Truth famous scene.jpg) This issue was discussed in Man's study, but when exactly did this scene take place... (Confused)

　　In fact, I feel that it should be earlier, at least before Parmenio, because "The Divine Plague" is about Guilliman interrogating the T Demon immediately after recalling the hero Felix from his political work. After Felix He stayed in the fleet, and then there was the section in "Plague War" where he led the team to smash the temple-turned-factory of Nurgle.But in this conversation, the Eldar prophet also mentioned the little saint girl of Parmenio and the miracles she caused, which means that it was obviously after Parmenio... (It was very confusing, and the result was that he gave up thinking and decided to eat GW book of)

　　I have finished eating. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me! (very loud)

　　As for why the regent brought Donas Maxim, the scribe of the Aurora Warriors, instead of Tigris when discussing this topic, I don't know.You might have to ask Guy Harry (who wrote "The Divine Plague") about this question.

　　original:

　　"Then why show me this?" asked Maxim. "Why tell me this secret? Why didn't Tigris or some other higher intelligence bear the burden of knowing this secret?"

　　"You are here. I want to discuss this now. You are the best person," Guilliman said. "Do you need any other reason?"

　　(It’s very casual)
