The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Carrying a natural breeze, Veronica walked to Soshian and gently placed her right hand on his shoulder.

"It's simple, those who oppose you and those who oppose us are all bad people."

"Haha, our Queen is becoming more and more majestic now."

Soshian chuckled, reached out and put his arm around her waist, bringing her onto his lap.

"Then why do you think Li is not a good person, my lady?"

"Can someone who can control others with a mind-locking beetle be a good person?"

"Perhaps he has other reasons, or"

As he spoke, Soshian stopped, seemingly lost in thought, and after a while, he slowly said:

"I was very angry before, and I thought Li was undoubtedly a villain, someone who hurt the Toxic Thorns. But after calming down, I had to think about a question: Was the Li that Tekshar saw the same Li that I saw? The appearance of Li that he described was indeed consistent with the Li I had seen, but don't forget, neither he nor I have seen Li's true face. Whether it was the Li he saw or the Li I saw, he was always hidden under bandages and a cloak. In fact, apart from speculation, we have no substantial evidence to prove that all of this was done by Li."

"But if it wasn't Li, who else has the ability to secretly manipulate the Imperial Fists? At least three pieces of evidence prove that the Tekshar encountered was the real Li: first, he had the ability to get the dying Tekshar from the hands of the Imperial Fists; second, he had the ability to interfere with or even control a chaplain of the Imperial Fists; and third, he knew a lot about the Eleventh Legion and the Grey Seer situation. Who else besides him can simultaneously satisfy these three points?"

Veronica said carefully, articulating her analysis while counting on her slender jade fingers.

"Oh, and it's not just these three points. There are only a few people who know so much about the Grey Seer. Macardo's group certainly has no reason to do this, and you yourself said, besides, even if someone is impersonating him, Li hasn't noticed it after so many years? He has been hiding inside the Imperial Fists, and he hasn't noticed someone impersonating him and destroying a chapter? You don't think he is a stupid person, right? Also, the mind-locking beetle, something that only aNecron high lord would use, he certainly couldn't have picked it up from the roadside, right? Especially since that mind-locking beetle is different from the common mind-locking beetle, with obvious signs of modification. The only possibility is that aNecron gave it to him. According to some stories you told me about Xerxes, this primarch seemed to have aNecron 'friend' before he got the Grey Seer. These two people have both met high-rankingNecron existences, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence, right?"

Soshian nodded slightly.

"It's indeed not a coincidence. So, did Macardo and the others send these people here? Is it to remind me that Li is colluding with theNecrons? Then why didn't they say it earlier? Why did they have to wait until I met Li to say it? They should have known about Li's existence a long time ago"

"It may also be that this Li did something that made them feel uneasy, like oh right, the things Li got you from Saturn, aren't they related to theNecrons? Perhaps this incident angered them?"

"TheNecrons? Thinking about it carefully, from Xerxes's contact with the Grey Seer, to the near destruction of the Astral Knights, to the Toxic Thorns incident, there seems to be a faint shadow of them in this ten-thousand-year-long plan and event. Are these dead remnants really planning something? But if Li is really colluding with them, what is the reason?"

"Didn't that Li claim to be the representative ofEldar and the Master of Mankind? In theory, these two should know about his actions. You can just ask them. The Thunderstone Chapel, I remember the name correctly, right?"

Soshian frowned and helplessly pressed the button on the table. A small hidden compartment rose up, inside which was a delicate teacup.

"I've tried, but for some reason, I can't go to Thunderstone, or rather, it's not responding to my call."

Veronica reached out and picked up the teacup, carefully looked around, and stroked the cup with her hand, whispering:

"These are the patterns hidden on the spirit bone. Is this a magic circle? I don't recognize the characters, it may be a consciousness transfer channel, but the coordinates it locates should have disappeared. You should have shown it to me earlier."

Soshian sighed softly.

"I don't want you to be too deeply involved in this matter"

"Alas, my silly husband, we are husband and wife, our destinies are forever connected. Do you think I have the possibility of staying out of it?"

Looking at Veronica's somewhat helpless expression, Soshian gently held her in his arms.

"So I told you everything after I came back, right? Okay, I won't think like this in the future. When I left Terra, I was always a little uneasy. When I said goodbye to theAscetic, he said I brought a friend to see him, but I still haven't figured out who it is. I don't know if it's related to this. If the Emperor has any problems because of me"

"Don't think wildly, if something really happened, Terra would have had problems long ago. But about the person theAscetic mentioned, I remembered one, how could you forget?"

"Is"

Veronica pursed her thin lips helplessly and reached out to pinch Soshian's cheek.

"My good husband, when did you become so forgetful! It's that golden old bald man! The one who ran over to see me inexplicably last time and ran away without saying a word. Didn't you say that theDeldar knew him?"

Soshian slapped his head.

"Hey, how could I forget him! Master釋(释: Buddhist monk)! No, Venerable Ananda! Yes, yes, it must be him. I was wondering why he was always hiding in that tower of his that could become bigger and smaller, and he didn't even go out after returning to Naysen IV. It was his disciples who transported the tower to the ground"

Saying that, he kissed Veronica's cherry lips.

"Thank you, my lady. If you hadn't said that, I would have really forgotten that person. Master釋(释: Buddhist monk) is really an easy existence to overlook."

"It's not that he is easy to overlook, I suspect this is a kind of power. That old bald man is not ordinary. Although I've only met him once or twice, I can feel it."

"Well, it seems that I have to go to him to ask clearly after returning to Naysen IV. Alas, I really have a headache now. There are things everywhere, mysteries everywhere, secrets everywhere. I have to manage here and manage there, and I have to be on guard against a group of people who are neither enemies nor friends, but seem to be both."

"Okay, you just manage too much and take too much into consideration. Just do things one by one. We don't have any life span restrictions. What do we care about their plans, we just follow our plans. If it doesn't work, we'll just drag it out. I think we can wait for ten thousand years."

Veronica's words were unreasonable but had a bit of truth. Soshian smiled and stroked the other person's hair.

"That's true, at worst we'll just drag it out. The more they urge me, the slower I will be, maybe I can force out some truth. Then do you think Li is harboring evil intentions? From your point of view, if it was really him who did it, what do you think is the purpose of doing this series of things?"

"Hmm, this is difficult to guess, but the Toxic Thorns were first crippled by him, and then the leader was implanted with the Grey Seer and the mind-locking beetle, and finally he hid them and encouraged their fanatical recognition of the legion. I suddenly think, did he ever plan to build an Eleventh Legion himself? A legion of his own."
