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

Chapter 83 We brought it on DA’s ship...

Somni walked quietly along the wide and opulent corridors of the Macragge's Glory.

Six hours, four and 10 minutes after the Lion's Mane appeared out of thin air in the orbit of the main star of Parmenio, the relevant instructions were finally delivered from the Imperial Regent's desk.As one of the representatives of this force that "appeared out of nowhere", he was personally summoned by the regent himself.

Within minutes of the order's arrival, they were teleported to the Macragge's Glory through the warp, and underwent strict and cautious inspections. They were finally allowed to walk on this magnificent Queen of Glory under surveillance. among the battleships.

During this period, Somni remained as quiet and indifferent as possible like a forbidden soldier, but this did not mean that during this period, the people around him were also as quiet and indifferent as him.At least, the Dark Angel Ravenwing captain who came with him had more than one quarrel with the surrounding inspection personnel because of the color of his armor.

Not to mention, Yago Savitarion obviously had no intention of stopping when faced with his ultramarine-painted cousin.

Overall, the Lion's Mane is of course a force loyal to the Empire, but if we break it down, it currently carries three different groups - the Chaldean Bureau under the Star Torch Hall, the Dark Angels, and the Night Lords - but It's also true.After receiving the message of the summons, Somni considered that the regent might want to hear the full story of the incident from different perspectives, so he made the decision of "each having a representative".

Of course he himself represents the Chaldean Bureau; on the Dark Angel side, the person in charge was taken to the planet surface by Fujimaru Ritsuka, so they internally recommended this Raven Wing Captain, who has the highest military rank in an unclear sense; Speaking of the Night Lords, the most representative one is undoubtedly Konrad Curze as the original body. However, considering that after he appears in the public eye, he may cause various problems in religion, politics, and security. Due to this influence, Somny still chose to take the First Captain aboard the Macragge's Glory.

But he really didn't expect that Savita's combat effectiveness was so strong in every sense.

By definition, he was still a prisoner on the Lion's Mane, so before leaving, he was only allowed to wear a set of frugal robes with the Mark of the Night Lords, and he also wore on his hands a device used to suppress psychic powers. Black stone handcuffs.Somni originally hoped to limit Sevatar's actions in order to reduce his threat (at least in appearance) in various senses, so that both sides could maintain restraint in contact with the Ultramarines—— Unfortunately, it seems now that it was counterproductive.

Sevita, who was wearing black stone handcuffs, did look a little more sluggish than usual, but his poor physical condition obviously brought him an equally bad mood. The obvious manifestation was that he soon began to verbally attack those around him equally. everything.

During the half hour of being inspected, he first sneered at Captain Crowwing beside him: "Are all your helmets welded to the power armor? To be honest, I haven't seen him since I've been on the ship for so long. What does Lan Malok look like?"

He used this as a central thought for a while, and then turned to the surrounding cousins ​​who were very unfriendly to him and the legion emblem on his body. He laughed at the too gorgeous and cumbersome carvings on their armor and said: "In the Holy Scriptures, Do you also need to do this? Is the adult who wrote it too lenient?"

In this round of debate, he even let a stray bullet hit Somni, who was unable to end the monitoring process because the relevant personnel were extremely confused during the process. He said: "What's inside that golden armor?" It's very possible that there is nothing." Somni thought for a while and replied: "Indeed." Then he successfully choked him.

But he wasn't quiet for a few minutes either.When they barely passed the preliminary test and came to the corridor to go to the next checkpoint, Savita opened his mouth again.Before he could really say anything to make the already angry Ultramarines around him even more angry, Somni quickly tripped him with the shaft of his halberd.

"Everything you do now will be recorded." Somni said calmly under the glare of the other party, "There will be someone to judge your current behavior."

He wanted to use this to warn Savita to restrain himself, but unexpectedly, the latter burst out laughing as if he had heard a funny joke: "Do you think I will be scared by this? You machine brain, you don't even think about it." Can't figure out how to make someone feel threatened or scared! Any mortal could do that better than you!"

The Ultramarines around him became even more angry for some reason that Somni couldn't understand. He himself didn't care about it at all - Sevita was telling the truth, he really didn't understand.

"I agree with your point of view." He replied calmly, "I will pay attention to collecting sample data in the future and re-formulate corresponding strategies. But for now, please stay quiet, which will be more beneficial to our subsequent communication. .”

Savita punched the cotton again, cursed something in Nostramo, complained in a low voice about something "unreasonable", and continued to move forward while cursing.

After spending another hour that was difficult for everyone, they finally passed various repeated inspections and arrived in front of the solemn, luxurious and elegant grand door of the audience hall.The victorious army standing in front of the door moved out of the way, allowing Somni and his party to enter, while the Ultramarines who had been accompanying them on this journey were left outside.

This space used as an audience hall is very wide and can easily accommodate a team of more than a hundred people at the same time to discuss or wait here.It is not difficult to imagine the bustling scene here, but now, it seems empty and lonely. In the huge space, there are only the Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman himself, the think tank director Varro Digris, and the Advocate Tribune Maldovar. · Kirken and a small group of people he thinks are necessary to be here.

The summons in such a majestic scene may also be a part of the psychological warfare as a negotiating outpost. One party's emphasis on authority itself will make it easier for them to take the initiative in subsequent conversations.Somny could objectively understand the psychological basis for this behavior, but subjectively he could not empathize with it.The Ravenwing Captain behind him, and even Sevatar, who had just shown that he was fearless, all showed a little bit of pressure in their body language in such a space, or in front of a Primarch, but this pair Somni had no influence.

"Stop right there and come no further." The first words that sounded in this hall came from Tribune Kirken.His thick, blazing angry voice echoed in the middle of the marble wall, with a slight echo of majesty, "Who are you? Why do you assume the appearance of the Imperial Guard?"

Whether it was the previous heavy monitoring that did not come to a conclusion, or Kirken's familiarity with his colleagues as a member of the Ten Thousand Husband, he could easily understand the fact that "Somni is not a Forbidden Army" in an instant, and it was up to him to do so. It's reasonable to question this in the first place.Somny knew this, but still felt that the tribune was a little too angry.

"I am indeed not a Custodian." He said, agreeing with the other party's point of view, "My official name is Imperator Somnium (Emperor Dream). For efficiency, convenience and in To avoid ambiguity in daily situations and other reasons, it is currently often referred to as Somni. I appear here on behalf of the Chaldean Bureau under the Star Torch Hall."

While saying this, he also sent the Emperor's Dream's ship identification code to everyone present, as well as the lengthy documents and electronic seals from the Throne Hall and Star Torch Hall that authenticated and demonstrated this.But this kind of thing that "ships that were sunk thousands of years ago turned into imperial troops and appeared in front of us" is too far-fetched. Tribune Kirken obviously couldn't accept this statement for the moment.He wanted to say something more, but Robert Guilliman's raised hand stopped him. "This is a very... strange statement." The original Ultramarines said this. Somni was completely unable to judge his true thoughts from his attitude and facial expressions, but at least, he chose to put this matter aside for the time being. Next, "This is completely unfamiliar territory for us, and perhaps my think tank director will consult on this in detail in a more appropriate setting."

——He must have read the expositions in those lengthy official documents of the Empire, within these few seconds.Somni was convinced based on the reaction he gave.Those discussions are vague and vague, but for a primarch, perhaps these few seconds are enough for him to read them through the servo system on the power armor and extract the central idea that "this is the product of a psychic ritual" .

"At least for the current wartime emergency, we only need to confirm that he is loyal to the Empire." The Imperial Regent said to the people gathered around him, and then turned to Somni, "We can trust you Loyal, right?”

This question made him a little angry, but Somni also understood Robert Guilliman's cautious attitude towards unknown psychic products, so he remained calm and prepared to speak.But at the moment before he successfully spoke, Kirken's voice sounded again:
"I don't trust it." He said this, even refusing to use personal pronouns in the sentence. "It probably comes from something we don't know -"

"Watch your words, Tribune. You are speaking to one of the emperor's flagships. Please show some respect." Somny's voice also became angry. "It's better to put down your weapons and go to the logistics to drink more if the fire is so big." Two cups of tea - if my current commander were here, she would definitely advise you like this."

These words caused the atmosphere of the scene to suddenly freeze, leaving only Savita's giggles echoing in the empty hall.Kirken didn't make any sound, but everyone could tell that he was so angry that he was about to explode.In order to keep the conversation going before the tribunes actually exploded, Robert Guilliman had to deflect the topic:

"I noticed your Dark Angels with black paint, and a Night Lord prisoner." He simply recounted the situation in front of him, "I need to know the meaning of this."

"Yes, my lord. But there is no profound meaning in our keeping the black paint. We are just keeping it as it is." Captain Ravenwing replied loudly, without the usual restraint when the Astartes of this era met the original body, but expressed Showing his strong confidence in his own legion, "We have been wandering in the subspace for 1 years. Before that, we were fighting against the Night Lords in the Salamas sector under the leadership of the original body. After returning to reality, we also I have not met any of the legion brothers in the current empire, but I have heard that they changed their livery at some point in the past.”

He used the word "legion" heavily in his speech.This obviously made the Ultramarines' Librarian a little angry, but the Primarch himself only responded with a chuckle that seemed a little relieved.He didn't pay attention to this harmless provocation, but temporarily let go of this part of the problem and turned his gaze to Sevita: "I believe it was a difficult journey, and I feel sorry for your experience. I Do you also believe that this one is the prisoner you captured in the glorious battle before the voyage?"

The Dark Angel was awkwardly stuck here, but he finally admitted boldly: "Yes, this is the captain of the Night Lords, Argo Severtarion."

"I have heard of this name." Robert Guilliman's eyes seemed to be looking at Sevatar, and then seemed to be looking at some distant place, "I have heard of you and Sigis, the most outstanding heir of Dorne. It’s a pity that we never saw that duel in Mondstadt.”

"Yes, what a pity, sir." Sevatar chuckled, "You see, in those good old days, your model troops really had nothing to do with us street rats, right?"

He may have wanted to provoke the other party, but Roboute Guilliman obviously did not accept this trick.Unaffected, the Primarch continued to question the Dark Angel: "I'm a little confused as to why he's here. We don't usually allow prisoners to influence the rest of our agenda."

"But being that 'prisoner' is very important?" He was answered by Savita's joking voice, "What if there is a prisoner who is so important that even showing up will cause great hidden dangers, and he must find a spokesperson he can trust? "

The Primarch of the Ultramarines narrowed his ice-blue eyes dangerously: "Iago Severtarion, I order you to speak clearly."

"Okay, the thing itself couldn't be more clear." Sevatar smiled with a contemptuous attitude. "First of all, I am not a prisoner of the Dark Angel. The one who really controls me and my brothers is Chaldea situation - to be honest, at least the food is many times better than on your ship."

He teased Captain Crowwing next to him, earning a glare from the latter, until the majestic voice of the original body came from the high platform at the end of the hall: "Tell me the important point."

"Okay. Then we have to talk about the reason why Chaldea Bureau is willing to 'accept' us 'Chaos War Gang', and the answer you want is here, sir."

Savita, who had already studied some imperial history from Fujimaru Ritsuka, and even included a lot of "secret" content, smiled maliciously because of the dramatic echo of the current situation to a certain period of history:

"The first prisoner of the Chaldean Bureau who belonged to the Night Lords' legion was Konrad Curze. Now, our Primarch is undoubtedly also on the Lion's Mane."

Robert Guilliman's eyes widened in surprise, and he stood up from his seat:
"——This is impossible!" he exclaimed.

　Mi (six o'clock)
　　Later, Guda looked at the driving recorder (?): You said that the tribunes should put down their weapons and drink tea. This is a bit insulting to the imperial army.You might as well threaten him that he won't be able to board the Emperor's Dream in the future.

　　Somni: It makes sense if you think carefully, then execute it.

　　Kirken:? ? ? ?
