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

Chapter 93 Mechanical materialism is not advisable

Varro Diglis, director of the Ultramarines Think Tank, felt that he had spent a very magical three and a half hours.Even though he was a psionic master, the one with the most in-depth study and knowledge of the warp in the entire Chapter, these three and a half hours were still too fantasy for him.

If there was a chance, he still wanted to discuss with Fujimaru Ritsuka how to copy the Chaos Fleet's retreat from the subspace sense, and what kind of prerequisites or materials were needed for similar psychic rituals.But those three and a half hours were clearly far more imaginative to his primarch, and after the meeting Robert Guilliman was in desperate need of his input.

"She is completely a little girl blinded by heresy." In the quiet room for them to talk alone, the Ultramarines Primarch insisted on commenting, "I admit that she must have some extraordinary qualities, otherwise she would not be able to get those With the approval of the overly proud Dark Angels, even my brother Ferus is willing to accompany her in mischief——"

Guilliman was stuck. The incident of "dead people resurrecting" is really too "unscientific", and his logic has reached a dead end at this moment.

"If you want to ask my opinion, my lord," Diglis said, understandingly, "I think something 'extraordinary' did happen to her."

"What did you find?"

"The first thing I confirmed is that Fujimaru Ritsuka is not a psyker." This was the conclusion Diglis had already reached when they met each other, but when he mentioned it now, his tone Still with an unconcealed sense of surprise, "She does have some differences, but from a psychic perspective, her soul is not as closely connected with the subspace as ordinary psykers."

Guilliman frowned, "But she does have some psionic tricks. We all saw her psionicly flinging cushions at Curze across the table."

"Yes. That's the amazing part." Diglis agreed. "Her psychic power is most likely not drawn from the warp, but directly from the Emperor's continuous supply, but this process So much beyond common sense that she almost skipped the Warp entirely. When she was doing her psychic tricks, the ripples in the Warp were much smaller than they should have been. I had to search very carefully to feel any of it. There’s almost no fluctuation.”

"Is it possible that this is some kind of subterfuge of the Warp?" Guilliman asked.

"I think the possibility of this is very low." Diglis replied, "I tested it with the Emperor's Tarot. It is considered to be a tool for the Emperor to communicate with humans through spiritual energy. If there is any evil in her body, She should refuse to come into contact with the contamination, because this contamination will definitely be pointed out by Tarot omens.”

"What's Fujimaru Ritsuka's attitude towards this?"

"She treats Imperial Tarot as if it were a game she is not good at - but that's not what's surprising."

Diglis once again took out the deck of Emperor Tarot cards and activated the image on the liquid crystal sheet with his spiritual energy.This display does not involve divination, so all 78 cards appear with their original designs - except for the "God Emperor" card.

"The picture that was supposed to show on this card was 'The Emperor Sacrificed on the Golden Throne.'" Diglis said, "But after Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled it out of the deck, the card changed. ”

Guilliman disliked the use of the word "sacrifice" in his description, which he considered to be a religious dismissal of "the Emperor's voluntary sacrifice for all mankind", but his His attention was almost entirely drawn to the pattern of the card, and he had no time to object to it.

He knew what the card was supposed to look like.Even though Guilliman had always stubbornly rejected all superstitious activities, he had the necessary understanding of the Emperor's Tarot, which was considered a "auxiliary weapon" that should be kept in the think tank's establishment.

Even if he had only had a brief glimpse of these mystical props, the primarch's never-forgotten image memory could still make the past scenes vividly appear in his mind: the pattern on the "God-Emperor" card should depict On the Golden Throne is a corpse that has become shriveled and browned by time and torture.He didn't want to pay attention to the mystical implications of this picture. To Guilliman, it was just a clear indication of the painful torture his father had suffered during these 1 years.but now--

On the card that Diglis used his spiritual power to levitate in mid-air, the emperor was wearing a luxurious golden armor, a laurel wreath on his head, standing tall with a sword in his hand, and his eyes were bright.His heroic appearance was the same as Guilliman remembered the Emperor's appearance thousands of years ago, which made him feel as if he had returned to the Great Crusade - an era when everything was improving and everything was full of hope.

"In Emperor Tarot, when a strong omen that needs to be revealed cannot be fully expressed by the existing cards, the pattern on the card will indeed suffer permanent changes. I have encountered similar situations, but no one has There has never been such a big change in a card." Diglis said, "This new omen... I can't say, my lord. I don't think I have the ability to interpret it completely correctly."

"...At least we have come to the conclusion that we do need to be cautious about everything that is about to happen and keep an eye on it to determine whether it is good or bad." Guilliman finally said.

The original body carefully touched the card that was suspended in mid-air by psychic energy, as if trying to contact a dream that could be shattered at the touch of a touch.

——But Diglis did not expect that his genetic father told him that he should "keep observing at all times". This sentence actually meant that he should follow Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, literally "keep observing at all times".He and another temporary victorious army team of ten people were forced into the Storm Frontier by his original body's attitude, and they would follow Fujimaru Ritsuka in the next operations in the name of security.

In addition, the three people who were originally sent to Macragge's Glory as representatives were finally returned to the Lion's Mane. Captain Ravenwing naturally returned to the Dark Angel's establishment, while Somni and Sai Vita began to glare at each other with the group of ultramarines who appeared out of thin air.

"I just felt that something like this would happen." Fujimaru Ritsuka himself commented helplessly.

Diglis briefly assessed the situation and then decided to go with style first: "I understand that there may be many difficulties in coordinating operations in this mission, and we will exercise restraint as much as possible."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head: "No, you don't understand. You haven't realized what Conrad would think about this matter."

The victors were initially optimistic.Because according to the previously simply finalized plan, the Storm Boundary will descend to the surface of Parmenio and join the offensive and defensive battle on the ground, but Conrad Curze and most of the Night Lord prisoners will leave the small ship and be temporarily supervised. Aboard the Lion's Mane in orbit, until Roboute Guilliman decided that the situation truly called for them.Therefore, what they need to endure during this process is most likely just one Imperial Guard who claims that he is not an Imperial Guard.

But they didn't expect that - when the victorious army boarded the Stormbound, they briefly visited the Emperor's Shrine, which could be used as a famous attraction in the future. At the same time, the black stone handcuffs on Sevatar's hands were also removed. , the ten black-armored Terminators dispatched by Konrad Coze as if they were in a ring are also in place.

"Actually, everyone doesn't like this mission very much." Savita, who had re-armed himself, rarely said honestly. However, when he spoke, he was not looking at their protection objects, but the one who was temporarily responsible for commanding the small group as the captain. Cato Sicarius, leader of the victorious army, "But who told our Primarch to speak."

Based on the hints in his eyes, no one could misunderstand the reason why Savita said he "didn't like this mission".Sicarius narrowed his eyes dangerously, but before he could fight back, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already spoken:
"Shut up!" She complained bluntly, "I'm already annoyed enough by the war! I don't want to worry about these things and at the same time have to mediate the quarrels between you and me at any time!"

"But Miss, you have to let us have some fun while standing guard."

"The mere fact that you are in the sun is the greatest joy."

As a member of the Rebel Legion, Savita, who even owns the copyright of the phrase "Kill the False Emperor", certainly understands the joy of this matter: "Oh, this is a bit sad."

"Lies won't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest weapon." Fujimaru Ritsuka had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic too much, and directly set the tone for the future, "In short, whoever stirs up trouble first will go to the kitchen to peel potatoes."

Surprisingly, although there were complaints among the Night Lords, no one refuted this decision. Even Sevatar made a zipper motion on his mouth before putting on his iconic bat. Wing Helmet.

Then, the preparation work progressed smoothly: other bats, including the original body of the Night Lord, left the Storm Frontier with their equipment, and the victorious army also completed the physical examination and received the equipment at some unknown time. I got to know Kaelia from the Medicine List (the latter was obviously a little too nervous when facing these green-gold Astartes, but for a teenage girl, she already behaved very well) , Somni returned to his favorite position in the control room, preparing to conduct an imaginary submarine dive directly to the garden of the atrium of Tyros Cathedral.

During this process, Cato Sicarius couldn't hold back his curiosity and quietly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Forgive me for the offence, but I'm really curious about what means you used to subdue those... Midnight The lord’s?”

The word "Midnight Lord" in this question was obviously added later. Its place was originally some adjectives that were further away from politeness and closer to insult.Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this, but she didn't care very much. She just shared her experience quietly at the same low volume:
"The key point is to make them think that you are on the same side as them." She replied, "In terms of specific operations, if you can speak Nostramo, you are on the starting line; if you can gamble cards, you will get ten points; Your card skills are great and you are the king of thousands of kings. Then you will be at the top of the food chain. Even though those black-armored guards look like humans and dogs, in fact, the battle achievements they owe me can be converted into the enemy's heads. Watch in Beijing."

After hearing this, Sicarius looked at this little girl who in his opinion was definitely no more than 15 years old with a complicated look on his face.The latter shrugged nonchalantly, with a little pride, and comfortably bore the other party's "I didn't expect you to be such a person" gaze.
