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

Chapter 76: Be careful that the limited-time main quest will be pushed onto your face.
"The Emperor sent a star message to Fujimaru Ritsuka" did surprise everyone present, but the focus of the Iron Hands was on the "Emperor", and for Ferus himself, who knew the cause and effect, What deserves more attention is the "star language".

"Why did your father send you astrological messages?" The original body, who felt bad, asked warily. "He should have many more gentle ways to communicate with you."

"Because he is in a hurry." Fujimaru Ritsuka moved the handkerchief, turned it over and folded it, and at the same time confirmed whether his nosebleed had stopped. "Face-to-face communication always takes time, so if you send me a message in Star Language, give me a compressed bag." Then he can move on to other things. I really can’t guess what he was doing during this period——"

"——The Ultramarine was invaded by Nurgle, and the leader was Mortarion. Before I withdrew from the Webway War, my father had been watching the battlefield over there."

"And we are in the Ultimate Star Territory now."

The superposition of these keywords is enough to make people realize that something is wrong.Fujimaru Ritsuka staggered forward, trying to struggle toward the door, his center of gravity unsteady like a drunken man.The Steel Priest instinctively stretched out his hand to help, and a mechanical arm that had already opened a clamp with a soft pad on the tip quickly reached over and clamped the waist of Fujimaru Ritsuka from an angle. The comfortable grunt lifted her whole body up.

The priest looked behind him blankly, only to see Ferus naturally taking the little inquisitor from the mechanical arm, sitting her on his forearm like a child, and at the same time giving orders to Adjutant Fish on the side. : "You come with us to the Star Spire."

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka smoothly grabbed the metal edge of the outer edge of Ferus's shoulder armor, and was obviously very used to it.

After the words fell, the mechanical arm smoothly returned to Ferus's own power backpack.The original body just strode forward and left the room with the little inquisitor. Adjutant Fish, who obviously didn't realize what happened, trotted after him mechanically, leaving only the priest and think tank in the room looking at each other.

In the Astronomical Spire, the choir will decipher and interpret the Astronomical messages received by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

In fact, it stands to reason that as a kind of psychic communication, once it is sent in place, it can be interpreted by any telepath who knows how to view other people's memories - as long as the interpreter knows the corresponding encryption method and can It is enough to successfully extract the message that the sender really wants to transmit.Every Librarian of the Chapter Astartes will encounter situations where he needs to do this many times during his service career, and the one aboard the Claw of Destruction is no exception.

But that obviously only applies to regular astrology.The astrological message sent by the Emperor himself from the throne is obviously not "ordinary" - if the astrological choir on the Destruction Claw is allowed to receive this message, the half of the people who have just been directly exposed to the psychic signal will Within seconds, everyone in the choir would be burned dry by such a huge force.

Chief vocalist Leslie Cole was very convinced of this, because he had just used his psychic powers to explore the memories related to Fujimaru Ritsuka under the orders of the original Iron Hands. Even though the person's spirit had no resistance to it, He also had a psychic talisman shattered by the energy of the message itself.

"As long as you know that this is indeed the case, don't think about unpacking the package alone and asking the entire choir to use the ritual of receiving long-distance messages to share the psychic impact." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who finally stopped the nosebleed, stood there, dizzy. He instructed hurriedly, "The nature of the Emperor's psychic energy is very offensive. If this astrological message is converted into energy, it is even enough to fire a ship-borne light spear. Ordinary people who do not have corresponding reception functions cannot be too cautious. .”

She just wanted to create a comparison benchmark to explain the current situation, but Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was currently dazed, did not have time to think that others could not understand how she, the only "comparison benchmark" in the world, collected and used it. If you don't care about the comparative data, you will also interpret other completely wrong information from these words.

At least, after hearing these words, Leslie Cole, who was quite pious, realized that it was obviously not the first time that she had received the emperor's spiritual power, so she immediately shouted excitedly "Living Saint!" and then knelt down with a plop. Go down and bow your head.Fujimaru Ritsuka was so frightened that she immediately leaned down and grabbed his Astropath robe, trying to pull him up:
"What kind of living saint! Only those who die and live again are called living saints! I am still alive and well and have never died!"

Leslie raised his head fervently: "...So you don't deny the 'saint' part?"

"..." Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately wanted to refute, but then she remembered that according to the empire's standards, she who can manifest the emperor's miracles at will can indeed be considered a "saint".She was stuck in embarrassment for a second, confirming that she had nothing to say, and then temporarily moved away from the other party's kneeling direction, turned back, pointed at the astropath in front of her, and looked at Ferus for help. .

"Do your duty, Chief Cantor." The Primarch of the Iron Hands had nothing to do about this. He chose to calmly skip this unimportant question and get things back on track.Leslie, who was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed after responding. When his forehead touched the fine gold ground, there was a loud knocking sound, which made Ritsuka, who was holding on to the railing on one side, tremble with the feeling.Immediately, the lead singer of the Star Language Choir stood up with a bright smile, turned around energetically and began to arrange the members under his command - as if the slowly bleeding wound on his forehead on the pattern of the floor did not exist. .

"I advise you not to care about him." Ferus whispered, "I have discovered it in the past few days. The more you try to be nice to them, the more they will..."

"...Fanatical." Fujimaru Ritsuka responded in a low voice with lingering fear, "I thought I was mentally prepared for this..."

"……Me too."

Ferus secretly exchanged a look of sympathy with her, and then changed the subject: "Father's psychic power is very violent. Are you okay after receiving the astral language?"

"It's no big deal." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was no longer bleeding, put away the handkerchief properly. "I can serve as his psychic base station. How can any base station be burned out by a random transfer of energy? I have a headache and a nosebleed. Because he stuffed too much information into my mind and I couldn’t process it. Also, I might have a low fever after a while, but I’d be fine if I just lay down.”

"——Your Majesty the Saint," Leslie's beaming voice came loudly from the distance. In the tight formation of the choir, only a gap was left at the core, "Please stand here!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed: "Okay, it would be better if you could stop calling me 'Saint'..."
-
Ignoring the complicated ritual process, Leslie finally succeeded in relying on the power of the entire choir to extract all the astrological data from Fujimaru Ritsuka's memory without any risk.

Unlike most astrological messages that are full of hints, metaphors and unclear graphics, the content conveyed by this astrological message from the Emperor is very concrete - so concrete that the initial interpretation of the content can be understood by everyone. What do most of them mean?
It was a very detailed local star map of the extreme star field. The dim star particles were clearly extinguishing in the torn subspace rift.The golden halo marked the Parmenio galaxy that was on the front line of the war. The arrangement of many fleets led by the Imperial Regent and the Chaos Engines coming from the Plague Garden were even clearly visible.

Anyone can understand what such an image represents.Leslie, who was tired from the ceremony, directly used telepathy to prevent the information from being lost in the process of relaying it, and transferred the image to the original body and the saint in every detail.Then he added to the two of them: "In addition to this image, the God-Emperor also has another edict: 'Fate has changed.'"

"..." After studying the extra star map in his mind for 2 minutes, Fujimaru Ritsuka responded slowly, "I seem to, maybe, probably, maybe, see where the 'change' is."

——At the edge of the war zone, in the chaotic void, another fleet is emerging from the rift.Even looking at the psychic images, it can be seen that the vast majority of them are in trouble with insufficient supplies, and the ships are obviously lacking in repairs, making it difficult to understand why they would appear so unwisely. On such an intense battlefield.Among them, the tactical logo of this force hangs on the largest ship headed by it:
Night Lord.

　Mi (peaceful).

　　I hope everyone still remembers that this is a light-hearted Xover stitching meme! (It means don’t expect any big war scenes)
