The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"Now that we've recovered it, how should we use it? Is a solar sail feasible?"

Hearing Soshyan's words, Veronica walked to his side and shook her head.

"It's difficult, considering it's an Arkworld after all."

"Then the destroyed Infinity Circuit can't be revived at all?"

"Unless we re-implant a large number of soul stones into the Ark's spirit core, but doing so... the relatives of those soul stones won't agree. Even if they are unrelated wanderers, their numbers are far from enough. You have to know that an Arkworld's Infinity Circuit may have accumulated several generations, even a dozen generations."

"But when the Ark was first built, it didn't have so many soul stones, right? And if my Aeldari history is correct, the Infinity Circuit of the Arkworld actually only appeared after the Fall, invented by Iyanden's Irillyth and Melyndri Silverbreeze. So how did the Arkworld operate before that? I don't think the Infinity Circuit is a necessary condition."

"Hmm, that's true. Perhaps the Ark didn't completely rely on the soul energy in the Infinity Circuit at the beginning, but now few people know these secrets. It must be the most powerful Bonesingers who know. Irillyth is gone, and the existing Bonesingers..."

At this moment, Morganna, who had been quietly sitting on a chair not far away, wiping his weapon, raised his head and said in a low voice.

"There is another Bonesinger who might know."

"Who?"

"Khaelis Tulle."

This name surprised Veronica.

"The Soulsmith of Khansala? But he's been missing for thousands of years? His home has been sending people to look for him."

Morganna stood up, walked closer to the two, and then said in a very low voice:

"He's here with me."

"What?"

Soshyan was more astute than Veronica, and he immediately realized that there was something going on, so he asked Morganna to follow him to a less crowded place, and Veronica followed.

"What happened?"

Facing Soshyan's inquiry, Morganna answered very frankly:

"I commissioned him to create Morgantyr. He did a good job, a perfect job."

As he spoke, he stroked his weapon as if stroking a lover, and then said dreamily:

"But it was too perfect... I won't allow him to create anything more perfect. There can't be anything more perfect than Morgantyr, so I took his eyes, tongue, and hands, and locked him in the spirit bone chamber. He can no longer speak to anyone, nor will he create weapons that surpass Morgantyr."

Veronica's eyes widened as she was about to speak, but Soshyan reached out and gently covered her mouth, then shook his head.

Morganna is now the Wargear Master of the court. If this matter were to be exposed, it would be a real scandal. The Khansala Arkworld is famous for its Bonesingers. Many of the Ark's Bonesingers come from there or go there to study. If they were to know that the Wargear Master of the court had dismembered their most respected scholar and elder...

However, Soshyan finally understood why Morganna couldn't get along with the other Phoenix Lords at all. Even Jain Zar, who often visited, rarely interacted with Morganna. His personality was too extreme and terrifying, even a little morbid.

After confirming that Veronica understood his gaze, Soshyan lowered his hand and said in a low voice:

"What's done is done, so I won't say anything. Wargear Master, is Khaelis Tulle still alive?"

"Still alive."

"Then why did you suddenly mention him?"

"Because Your Majesty can heal him, and he himself is an old antique from the Imperial era. Before the Fall, he was the Empire's royal craftsman. He has an incredible loyalty to the Eternal Court. As long as he sees Your Majesty, he will be completely loyal, and restoring the Ark is not a problem. Of course... it's best if Your Majesty can order him to shut up about Morgantyr. I don't want to cause trouble."

Veronica frowned, her lips slightly open. It could be seen that she really wanted to reprimand Morganna, after all, what the other party had done had crossed her bottom line.

Fortunately, Soshyan stopped this meaningless behavior in time with words.

"Then it's settled. Wargear Master, there won't be any more battles later. Bring Khaelis Tulle over as soon as possible. This matter will be kept secret for you."

Morganna nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the bridge in a few steps.

"How can he do this?"

After Morganna left, Veronica couldn't help but complain:

"What's the difference between this and those people in Commorragh? To torture Master Khaelis like this! That elder has made a huge contribution to the continuation of the Aeldari race. Many of the technologies that the Arkworld relies on to maintain are his inventions, and many weapons are his masterpieces, such as the powerful Hemlock Wraithfighter!"

Soshyan reached out and gently put his arm around Veronica's shoulder.

"I know, I know, it's too much, but what's done is done. You also know that few of the Phoenix Lords have normal personalities. And at least he took the initiative to tell us about it, which proves that he puts the interests of the court above his personal interests. Isn't that good?"

Veronica glared at him.

"What's good about it? At least you should say something to him! If you don't say anything, isn't that condoning it?"

"They're all old things who have lived for tens of thousands of years, so why do they need us young people to reason with them? Our few words can't change his mind. If he wants to change, he will change without being told. If he doesn't want to change, saying it will only increase his annoyance. Besides, he didn't really kill Master Khaelis. If he was really a heartless, extremely selfish person, wouldn't it be cleaner to just kill him with one knife and crush the soul stone? It shows that Morganna's personality is just a little extreme, and his essence is not bad. No big deal, no big deal. Besides, if you heal that master, wouldn't it be as if nothing had happened? It's better late than never."

After listening, Veronica just pursed her lips, and then said unhappily:

"So no wonder you hang out with mad butchers like Seth of the Flesh Tearers every day. Only you can deal with people like that. If it were me, I would definitely scold him severely. Just indulge him, and see how you'll manage him in the future... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Are you really going to enter the battlefield yourself in a while?"

Soshyan nodded, looking at the very detailed simulation image of Maran Thaiel, where the situation of each unit was even projected onto the different structures of the Ark with tiny character models, looking almost like some kind of virtual game. It was at least ten times better than the blurry water wave projectors on human bridges.

"The fastest way to disintegrate the organizational strength of the Orks is to behead them. It's best to have a quick battle. I've already let the Q'uen'tarr Saboteurs enter the Ark in advance. They will find the location of the Ork leader and deploy signal transmitters. When the time comes, I'll teleport directly over there and solve it. The battle will basically be over."

"Will there be any danger?"

Soshyan raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"The only danger is probably that the Ork leader might have already died before I get there, so I'll have made a wasted trip."
