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

Chapter 164: After working an extra shift in the dream, it’s time to finish in reality

Accompanied by Guilliman, Corax finally quietly watched the video recording from Ferus, which was only three minutes and 42 seconds long.He didn't think that such a flimsy, untrustworthy, or even randomly faked video could convince him in any sense, but he had to admit that even if it was a lie, he hoped that he could be deceived for a short time. one time.

"He looks unchanged." The Lord of the Crows carefully looked at the brother in the image who was exactly the same as the image in his deep memory: the iron hand reflected the shimmer of metal in the dim environment. The rough and savage appearance, the hard expression, and the dry sentences that came out of his mouth were even harder than his expression.

Ferus in the video does not seem to be greeting his brother through a video, but more like mechanically speaking out the words organized in his mind.He was obviously trying to hide it, but to Corax it was still clear: Ferrus was somewhat uncomfortable in front of the camera.But it is this kind of unobvious "uneasiness" that is unimaginable to mortals and even Astartes and belongs only to the original body, but it makes Ferus in this video appear more vivid.

This is almost the same as the "Ferrus Manus" in Corax's impression. He almost thought in a trance that this was an image record preserved from ten thousand years ago, but what Ferus said in the image The complaints clearly prove that this is not the case.

"I don't have any evidence, but I don't think this will last long." The Lord of Ultramar, whose hairline was in danger of receding, said sourly on the side, "He may have indeed realized that after he left for 1 years, Then something went wrong among his legionary scions, but he had to know: this was only the beginning."

This part was revealed in Ferus' "Recent Situation Report" in the video: He briefly greeted Guilliman in two sentences, and then began to "report" in a straightforward and uninteresting way. What has happened to him recently, and the focus of it is obviously very "Ferrus" - specifically, in this video, he briefly stated in two sentences "I withdrew from the Webway War and returned to my "Among some of his descendants" (original words), and then spent a full minute explaining the technical points in detail with a discussion mixed with many unheard of proper nouns, and finally simply stated that he was still very weak and could not To be able to completely stabilize himself in reality, he needs to return to his home planet to solve this problem (and in one sentence, he complained in one sentence whether the Iron Hands Astartes were a little too fanatical in this era) , then turned back to Baal, and worked with Fujimaru Ritsuka to promote the construction plan of the "Chaldean Lighthouse" and prepare to resurrect Sanguinius.

This paragraph made Corax confused, but since he was not sure of the authenticity of the video, or even the authenticity of the environment around him, he decided not to think about what the content represented. What to bother with.For him, it would be good to take another look at Ferus, even if it was just a virtual image in a video.

"I can see that these 'pieces of work' after ten thousand years have made you think hard." He did not react to the content in the video, but replied to Guilliman's acid words next to him, "Remember, Dorne also looked very old after the Siege of Terra."

"Yes, maybe that was the first time we clearly realized that the original body is not absolutely immune to aging." Guilliman sighed, "We are indeed different from mortals, but sometimes I also vaguely feel, There aren't as many differences as we thought."

Corax didn't answer.He could see that Guilliman truly felt this way when he said this, but he also knew that he was already something else entirely.If the curtain in this room had not been properly weakened, he would not even be able to be in such a complete form——

Wait a moment.

Corax once again realized something was wrong: why was there such a warp environment in Guilliman's chamber?How did he weaken the veil - or simply, are they really in reality now?

This thought fell straight into his stomach like a piece of ice, causing the organs in his abdominal cavity that were still physically unknown to twist together uncomfortably.Guilliman, who was sitting next to him, was obviously aware of his change in mood. He turned around and asked with concern: "What's the matter, brother? Did you remember anything?"

Corax still didn't answer.He was pale, but it was difficult to tell at this point because of the color of his skin, but his hands were still shaking like a human being from a strained spirit.Guilliman pressed Corax's trembling arm down with just the right amount of force.His palms were dry and warm, with a bit of reassuring pressure, which somewhat stabilized the Raven Lord's once again confused mind, allowing him to have the energy to focus on his brother again.

"Can I believe you?" Corax asked. "Can I believe this is real?"

"I can assure you that all of this is happening and is real." Guilliman took the trouble to say this in a calm tone. "I can't force you to believe me, but I can do whatever you think you need." things to prove this.”

"Then why can I, who should only be able to go outside the curtain in my own fragments, speak to you in such a complete form?" Corax asked sadly, "If all this is true, then where are we now? ? In reality? Or in subspace? If this is reality, what have you paid for it? "

At this moment, Guilliman had an expression that said, "I'm holding back, but I can't laugh or cry."He quickly locked this little bit of emotion back into his heart, but it was still obvious enough to Corax, who stared at him for a moment.

"I thought you would want to ask about this as soon as you woke up." The Imperial Regent sighed, "But you didn't... But it's not too late to start explaining this now."

Something was obviously deleted from the suspicious pause between these two sentences, but Guilliman did not give Corax the opportunity to explore it in detail: "We are now in reality, specifically in the Far East of the Empire, the Ultramarine Sector. In the Rama Sector, above the orbit of a planet called Parmenio, in my room on the Macragge's Glory. As for what I paid to be able to talk to you like this, it's not a big deal."

"What?" Corax asked nervously.He couldn't tell whether the "no big deal" part of Guilliman's statement was the truth or whether the person involved was pretending to be relaxed, so he had to persist in asking, "What did you pay for?"

"To be more specific, I have to replenish the armor and logistics that were consumed in previous battles by a group of Sons of Leon who are not under my organization." Guilliman shrugged, "There are not many of them, so— —Look, it’s really no big deal. You can just stay here for a while and get some treatment.”

All of the above seemed incomprehensible in Corax's mind, so he could only give the most basic reaction to it all: "Treatment?"

"Yes, treatment. That's how Fujimaru Ritsuka contacted me, but actually I don't know what's going on, so I will stay with you throughout the process." Guilliman said, "I guess, after a while, The Chaldeans will arrive."
