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

Chapter 87 A much-anticipated brother meeting

Roboute Guilliman found it difficult to believe that what he had heard from the representatives of the Lion's Mane was true.

After realizing that these three men had brought some unbelievable news, his first reaction was to summon people he believed to be credible and separate them for questioning.In this almost interrogation-like situation, their statements can still barely corroborate each other, which is actually enough to explain some problems.

First up is Conrad Coates.Although this question was not the first one that was put before Robert Guilliman, it was undoubtedly the most important one.The Imperial Regent had heard rumors of his brother's death before he was defeated at Thesala and forced into the stasis field.As a primarch, Konrad's death was obviously too hasty, but considering that at that time he was completely tortured by his prophecy and went crazy, and anything a madman could do was possible - Guilliman himself therefore The content of this rumor is dubious.

His first reaction was that the rumors he had heard were wrong.But then he got two different versions of the story about how Konrad Coates came back to life.The one from Somni was succinct but general, indicating only that it was the final result of a costly psychic ritual; the other was detailed but doubtful, and Guilliman had no doubt that it contained quite a lot. The ironic details about the Emperor and superstition were merely improvised contrivances by Sevatar to cause trouble.

——Then, he got a video file of about 15 minutes that was encrypted and urgently forwarded without anyone watching the content from the Dark Angel Ravenwing Captain, Yeramil Larion. .

Robert Guilliman was shocked.

After being shocked, he thought for a moment and destroyed the video in his hand.Then he warned Captain Larian: Once the video footage related to a living traitor original body is leaked, it is likely to cause a strong negative chain reaction that no one wants to see in the current empire, and requires the other party to destroy the video. Make the vast majority of copies and do a good job of information control.

He guessed that the children of the Lion King would complain that he was rigid and boring, but in this era, this was a necessary behavior.He did not think about whether the reason why he chose to do this was whether he still had even a little bit of brotherly love for Conrad Coates, but instead focused his attention on the other protagonist in the video. .

Then, the Imperial Regent received a long list of titles from Thromni, including "Emperor's Chosen, Throne's Envoy, Hope's Son, Night Star, Sin-Drinker, The Grand Master", starting with Captain Ravenwing. It was commented that he was a "good partner who knows how to measure." Even Sevatar said uncharacteristically, "You'd better show some respect to that lady. She does represent the emperor's will."—— But considering the numerous criminal records he committed in such a short period of time, the credibility of this statement is also questionable.

Only the name is certain: Ritsuka Fujimaru.

It was a strange and ancient language, even to Guilliman.In fact, he was able to recognize that the name came from "a strange and ancient language" instead of taking it for granted that it was an extremely unknown dialect in a remote area of ​​the empire. This was also due to his photographic memory as the original body. Forgetful memory.Even at the time of the Great Crusade, the language was considered dead long before the darkest days of the Old Night descended.

According to this inference, perhaps the name really comes from some kind of imperial dialect that sounds similar to that ancient language. This is obviously more logically reasonable, but Guilliman has an almost stubborn intuition about this.He just had no reason to believe that this name belonged to that ancient language that even he had only glimpsed in the records, and he didn't even know how to pronounce most of its phonemes.

This was also a puzzling point, but Guilliman put it aside for the time being and tried to figure out why the Lion's Mane came here - the point was, how they appeared in a split second without warning.This part of the content has obviously become quite complicated, and the interrogators trusted by Guilliman have spent a lot of time questioning and sorting it out, so much so that while caring about these issues, they are also commanding several battles on the continent of Celaton. After the Imperial Regent obtained the decisive match point in the game, the corresponding report did not appear.Guilliman took about two milliseconds to weigh it and decided not to continue waiting for these reports to be presented.He temporarily put aside the war that had entered garbage time, handed over the overall command to Tribune Kirken, summoned the director of the think tank and the Sister of Silence, and prepared to board the Lion's Mane to find out personally.

"I'm not sure if this is wise, my lord." Think Tank Director Diglis advised cautiously, "We really can't tell whether this is a miracle or a conspiracy, and until we successfully figure this out, perhaps we shouldn't be so rash. "

"But the issue we need to face is too sensitive. A traitorous primarch..." Guilliman did not explain the entire issue in public. He believed that his descendants could fully understand what was left behind in just a few words. He said, "...the fewer people who know about this, the better, until we know enough information to make a correct judgment. We can't let them board the Macragge's Glory, so we go over."

This failed to completely convince the Think Tank Director, but Roboute Guilliman was determined.Against the primarch's irresistible will, Tigris was forced to agree to proceed with the journey, but he nevertheless managed to persuade the primarch to take with him a larger escort than would normally be required.

The care and protection from his offspring made Guilliman feel heavier and heavier, but he urged himself not to show these emotions on his face.For a politician, this is a basic quality, but since he woke up, he has done it more and more often, and there are fewer and fewer occasions where he can express his feelings smoothly, so that politics The mask of home has almost formed a thick crust on his face.

He stepped onto the teleportation platform with a shell on his face, and arrived on the Lion's Mane in an instant amid the push of the subspace.These black-armored descendants of the Lion King were as reserved and proud as the impression he left thousands of years ago. The entire team was led in silence, passing through the corridor decorated with dark green curtains and solemn murals, and arrived. A large meeting room with a decorative style obviously derived from Caliban——

"Hello, Guilliman, my brother." A soft voice came from behind the large round table in the meeting hall. Its volume was not high, as if it was just a whisper, but it miraculously echoed throughout the entire space. Echoed repeatedly, accurately and clearly drilled into the ears of everyone present, "Or should I call you Imperial Regent, Lord of Ultramar, Son of Vengeance, King of Battle, Blade of Unity, and one more?" A long list of titles that you actually have but I don’t know about?”

Conrad Coates, sitting behind the round table, spoke in a joking manner.

　Miwu (six o'clock).

　　Just keep it short, keep it short today, and keep it short in the next update, otherwise I will die suddenly (peacefully).
