The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"Oh? It can actually summon that Mandela head?"

Hearing Old Walker say that this thing could summon Candrak, Sochoyan's eyes flashed. This thing is of great value. Then, he looked at the second item in his hand.

It was a spirit bone fragment, recording only one piece of information: how to find the Drifting Sanctuary.

The third item was a flexible spirit bone scroll, containing a handwritten letter from Olrod, instructing any descendants who found this place to go to the Galactic Core and find a Hearthkin named Walker. He was Olrod's close friend. If Walker was still alive, they should ask him to come to the spirit bone chamber. If Walker had already passed away, they should inquire if there were any relics left behind.

The last scroll was Olrod's "will," stating that during his years of adventure, he had discovered the secrets of the ancient Aeldari Empire's Phoenix King's three artifacts: the Phoenix Chalice, the Sunsword, and the Primal Flame Amulet. When these three were combined, they could ignite the "True Fire" of Asuryan, which could be used to create powerful psychic war beasts and Phoenix Warriors. Olrod even recorded some of the methods for creating them, such as the Deathfire Phoenix, also known as Asuryan's Pet. It was said to be the most common guardian in Asuryan's Paradise Sanctuary, possessing stellar energy. In the ancient empire era, it often patrolled the Aeldari's realm and the Webway in the form of comets. They could also sometimes be seen in Asuryan's temples and sanctuaries, and were considered messengers of Asuryan. However, the Deathfire Phoenixes in realspace were actually created by Asuryan's Grand Shrine through the True Fire. But to achieve all of this, a device called the 'Pyroheart' was needed, and that device could only be found in Commorragh's Grand Armory.

As for the Phoenix Warriors, they were also known as Phoenix Guard in the ancient empire era. They were the eternal guardians of Asuryan's Grand Shrine. Olrod's description of them was rather vague, only saying that to become a Phoenix Warrior, one must first be male, possess extremely firm will, and be willing to throw one's soul into Asuryan's True Fire for tempering—failure would result in complete annihilation of the soul. But Olrod didn't say how to do it specifically, or perhaps he didn't actually know?

After that, Olrod stated that he had some clues about the other two of the three artifacts. The Sunsword was confirmed to be in Commorragh, likely hidden by some great noble. The Phoenix Chalice might have fallen into the hands of the Emperor of Mankind. If one wanted to retrieve these two items, one must think twice, because each represented great danger.

At the end of the will, Olrod said that the descendants who could see these words must be those who could truly understand him, and who could truly realize his ideals, someone who would not be bound and manipulated by hatred.

This last sentence really made Sochoyan a little puzzled.

"Why did he hide it in the spirit bone stele? If it weren't for Patriarch Walker, I might never have found it. Weren't the things he put here meant to be found?"

At this time, Veronica answered her question.

"I guess Olrod thought these two things were more dangerous than the other things he put here. They must be used by someone who can transcend hatred to be safe. That is to say, if it weren't for Patriarch Walker, you would have to break this stele yourself to see them."

"Ah? This"

Old Walker also nodded.

"Sochoyan, you don't need to dwell too much on why he did this, because that's just his personality. He always does things that ordinary people find strange, and he will never tell others the reasons unless he takes the initiative to say so himself."

Sochoyan reluctantly accepted this answer, but it made him even more concerned about who killed Olrod. Because judging from these things, Olrod had obviously embarked on the path of the Phoenix King back then. As long as he was given time to gather a force loyal to him, and then win over those Phoenix Lords, he could pull off a mantis stalks the cicada move when Vect purged the old nobles of Commorragh. He could very likely become the ruler of Commorragh, and then obtain the Phoenix King's three artifacts, becoming the true ruler of the Aeldari, and then inherit the Grey Seer, and go to the Drifting Sanctuary to reshape himself.

At that time, it wouldn't be Olrod who would be reigning over the galaxy, but the Aeldari's Eternal Emperor, a god walking among mortals!

But this game of chess was ultimately disrupted.

This also reminded Sochoyan to be careful of the threats of those Star Gods. Their current motives, goals, and behavior patterns were extremely unfamiliar to him, making them almost impossible to defend against.

However, Sochoyan thought that there was one person who might know something.

Afterward, he arranged for Old Walker to stay in the palace, and asked Dolar to formulate a detailed plan to negotiate with the Great Soryan League, and then went to meet "that person" who he thought knew something.

"Your Highness, only the final step remains."

In the Shaping Hall of the Royal Court, as the Bonesingers sang, more and more spirit bones solidified from the light, and the light in the center of the hall grew darker.

The product of this song shone in the shadows, but more than that, it crossed the threshold from "possible" to "reality."

Outside the Shaping Circle, Sochoyan and Veronica watched its formation, accompanied by Callus.

Judging that there were enough raw materials to meet their needs, the Bonesingers changed their tune and sped up.

Under their influence, the semi-gasified spirit bones formed recognizable shapes—torso, arms, feet, and then a high-crowned helmet.

They worked hard for a long time, until the previously produced spirit bones disappeared as if by magic, replaced by a tall, statue-like figure, standing in the center of their ring-shaped formation.

It was five meters tall, with a slender and elegant torso, entirely bright red. The overall structure was similar to that of the Aeldari's spirit bone constructs, but the spirit bone shell was in the form of plate armor, and the legs showed the reversed-joint shape of birds. The shoulder armor was shaped into upward-raised wings, and the head had a hooked-beak phoenix head, but the eyes were still a blank white membrane.

Immediately afterward, the Bonesingers manipulated the construct to kneel, and the head opened, revealing a place where a soul stone should have been placed.

The next moment, the singing suddenly stopped, and the Bonesingers retreated to both sides. Weapon smiths and craftsmen walked in from the Path of the Warrior, installing non-spirit bone equipment on this construct. They worked very fast, moving freely and quickly. Sometimes viewers would think they were hindering each other, but they could always flexibly avoid their colleagues' bodies.

In just a short while, they completed their work and then also retreated to both sides.

The final step was Sochoyan's turn to personally take the stage. Veronica opened a spirit bone box, and the hellfire stone inside was held by Sochoyan's gloved fist. If you looked closely, you would find that the surface of the gem was emitting a dim blood-colored striped light, and a scorching aura emanated from it, carrying an ominous atmosphere.
