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

Chapter 255 Mephiston is confused
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that perhaps in the beginning, they should not choose to discuss things at the dinner table. At least not this time, because no one enjoyed the meal.

Considering the difference in food intake and body size, she tentatively thought that Dante ate worse than she did - at least during the relatively calm period at the beginning of the dinner, she did eat half full and managed to finish the glass of orange juice. Drink it. On the other hand, Dante, by the time the banquet was over and the two of them left, the mountains of food in front of him had barely moved.

However, unlike Fujimaru Ritsuka who was still thinking about what to eat as a snack on the way back to the Emperor's Dream, Dante's thoughts did not linger on "what to eat" for even a microsecond. After the former disappeared from sight, the latter immediately began to sort out the meeting records in the servo skull, preparing to hand them over to Mephiston, borrowing the wisdom of the chief think tank to judge whether the plan that Fujimaru Ritsuka just briefly described was theoretical. feasibility.

For Primaris Space Marines, "taking in energy through food" is still an inevitable necessity as a living being, but "eating three times a day on time" is not. For the same reason, "rest and sleep on time" are not either. Therefore, even if everyone has been busy all day because of the complicated rituals in the ceremony, Dante does not think that there will be any obstacles in finding Mephiston at this moment.

But he did hit a roadblock.

The next second after the chapter leader arrived at the library, he was told by his servant: Mephiston, the think tank director, immediately dived into the sea of ​​books inside after finishing his work today, and told others to follow him Don't disturb him before walking out. Even the summary report of the emergencies that occurred during today's ball was left to his valet, Jorgeselius, to write.

"Did he discover something?" Dante was very confused. "During the previous dinner, did something suddenly happen that even Mephiston couldn't understand?"

This was a question that the servants and scholars in the library could not answer, so Joselius was quickly invited out: "Lord Dante, we believe that under the command of the imperial saint, there are some who can do it under the curtain. Warp entities coming and going from both sides are working for her.”

This made Dante frown: "What's going on?"

"You still remember that during the dance, we once reported a chaotic incident caused by cult members." Johselius explained.

"I remember. I also remember that the matter was properly addressed and the impact was neutralized."

"Yes. But in the process - this matter was solved by the think tanks led by Lord Mephiston and in cooperation with a Black Templar cousin who came out of the ranks of the Forbidden Army. We solved it without any effort In order to defeat those heretics who tried to tear apart the curtain through evil rituals, Lord Mephiston wanted to use his spells to disperse the lifeless people gathered in the subspace, but he happened to see...'something', naturally. The earth passes through the veil and appears in reality as a physical entity.”

Hesselius still had an expression of disbelief when describing this matter, but Dante felt it was understandable: even if he knew nothing about psychic powers, he still felt that this matter sounded very innovative: " What's next? Have you taken any measures against this subspace entity?"

"We didn't." Johselius's tone was mixed with a little regret and luck that were not easily discovered. "At that moment, we were all stunned - the cultist's ritual was not successful, but at that time The scene looked too much like 'the ritual had indeed summoned something'. Everyone was delayed for a moment, and then we discovered that the black Templar cousin and this... person, the 'subspace entity', interacted with each other. Know and obviously have a working relationship.”

This sounds a bit too new, so new that it is shocking. Even the experienced Dante has never seen this in his legendary service career. Therefore, his first reaction to this was: "That Black Templar cousin... is he really the Black Templar?" "He is not only the Black Templar, he has the Black Sword, and he is the Emperor's Champion." Joselius's tone was also very unbelievable, "The emperor's blessing cannot be forged, so we are sure that he... is not disguised by some messy thing."

"What did that 'warp entity' do?"

"It transformed into a regular-looking mortal male, with black hair, black skin, and white clothes. Somehow it was like a demon host, able to affect things in reality normally." Jorgeselius narrated , "But he didn't do anything. He just took a piece of paper and wrote something, then folded the note in half and handed it to the Black Templar cousin. I think this should be some kind of link they had agreed upon beforehand - The note was taken to Fujimaru Ritsuka not long after, and was later handed back to Lord Mephiston."

"Do you know what's written on the note?"

"I don't know. I only saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka had approved it when Master Mephiston unfolded the note, but I didn't see the specific words clearly."

Dante frowned: "The chief think tank didn't say anything?"

"After reading the note, no." Jorgeselius added, "But when we saw the subspace entity, Lord Mephiston asked about its identity, and the other party responded. I think that's all. The content made him immerse himself in ancient documents right after the incident, trying to find out more mysteries."

The high-level think tank hesitated significantly, but after carefully observing the face of the chapter leader, he decided to elaborate on this paragraph:
"At that time, Lord Mephiston asked the other party: 'Who are you?' I am very sure that a huge subspace power has been gathered at his hands. But the other party did not easily destroy everything in the entire room because of this. Shaken by the strength, he just turned around and answered in standard High Gothic:

"'My real name is Arjuna.'" Jorgeselius tried to imitate the other party's polite tone, but made the listener feel shorter than the other party for no reason. "This is strange, but this subspace entity It really emphasizes that its 'real name' is so. Then, it adds: 'If this name has been submerged in a long time, people have also used it as Yiyuesheng, Winning Wealth, Crowned One, Ever Victorious, I have been called the one who controls the white horse, the one who shoots the left and right bows, and many other names. Now, I am only a servant, serving under the title of Master Fujimaru Ritsuka.' Then it did not answer any other questions, and after writing the note, it came again Disappeared through the curtain."

Joselius paused for a moment, and finally concluded with a bit of complaint: "I think Lord Mephiston must have thought of something from this passage, and then he was able to escape from work. In an instant, I immediately ran into the pile of old papers."

Dante nodded helplessly: "Then I hope he can bring us some good news. By the way, please help me tell him that after talking to Fujimaru Ritsuka alone, I also have some psychic problems here. His wisdom is desperately needed to try to solve it.”
