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

"I feel..." She struggled to finish the last sentence she had planned to say, "I feel like we are not talking about the same thing."

This can at best be regarded as a vague feeling, nonsense spoken out of desperation to make the situation less ugly. She couldn't come up with any further arguments: there was too much pre-information missing, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind had basically shut down.

The scene in front of him was quite interesting, but Dante would not have any thoughts of "taking back the victory" because of this. In his opinion, no matter how high a young girl of this age is in a high position, her accumulated experience limited by her age is all there. It was normal for Fujimaru Ritsuka to panic for a while after being caught off guard by the sudden news. In addition, the current environment did not pose any threat to anyone, and Dante was even prepared to face a lot of questions, or to sit there and wait quietly for a few minutes to let the other party sort out his thoughts. However, to his surprise, after the last sentence fell, Fujimaru Ritsuka only paused for just two seconds before speaking again:

"Although the causes and consequences of this matter are indeed important, I think we should return to the original topic."

The Primarch can only be defeated by the Primarch. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Fujimaru Ritsuka made the decision to let the archangel drive away the Lion King entrenched in his mind. She began to desperately think about the situation related to Sanguinius, and the massive magic theories that needed to be deduced in advance to "find a way to recover him as much as possible and then summon him back to the real universe" finally succeeded in squeezing her away. In my impression, Leon always seems to be looking at something and being very unhappy. The conversation finally continued on the "main topic":

"Considering that there are no more suitable examples around us, I will use a heretical-sounding term to explain the issue of 'resummoning'."

To be fair, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't like saying this very much, because it could easily lead to a black muzzle being pressed against his forehead. In the situation of communicating with the Imperial people, this is undoubtedly the last resort, but even if it is a "last resort", it is still a "strategy" - unfortunately, after a round of bombing by Lion bombers, at this time she The ready-made example of Sigismund had been completely forgotten.

After neither Curze nor Ferus could give an example, and she had just been bombarded by the news of "Leon El'Jonson's return", her confused brain could not think of any better explanation for a while. Got:

"It is indeed true that there is a soul after death. For you and me, this should be considered basic common sense. The soul of the deceased will go to the subspace, and the dead original body is no exception." She said Said, "So, excluding the technical differences in the middle: if the 'soul of the original body' is regarded as a subspace entity, it can be summoned into the real universe in some form - just like the devil is a subspace entity. Spatial entities, but demons can also be summoned into reality through certain prescribed rituals.”

This analogy does sound heretical, but to Dante, it is nothing more than a drizzle. After all, he is a mature chapter leader who once ordered his think tank leader to secretly summon Kabanha in order to control the harm caused by the great demon of Khorne to the battle situation. A harmless heretical analogy is not enough to let him Furious.

Even when he followed this logic and asked back, his tone was very calm: "So, how many 'sacrifice' are needed for the ceremony prepared for this? We may need to prepare for this in advance."

Dante wanted to ask carefully first, and then take the minutes of the meeting to Mephiston for detailed information - after all, he didn't understand these mystical things. In his experience, when talking about summoning subspace entities, he would think of human sacrifice. This was originally a normal thing, but then he discovered: The expression on the face of Fujimaru Ritsuka across the dining table was subtly wrinkled. Get up:

"Although I admit that I don't know many people in the empire," she said teasingly, "but this is indeed the first time I have met someone like you who is 'more heretical than me'."

In fact, among the vast territory of the empire and the countless customs derived from it, "human sacrifice" itself is widespread. To judge whether it is heresy or not, it depends on whether the person involved is sacrificing to the God-Emperor. Speaking of Fujimaru Ritsuka herself, she has seen many similar scenes in her past journey: in the eyes of gods, asking for human sacrifice is a common and natural thing. But this does not mean that her outlook on life, which grew up in a peaceful and rational era, would consider "this a normal thing".

This is a "taken for granted" conclusion drawn from the simple religious concepts of ancient people: Of course those who require human sacrifice are evil gods. Evil gods are heretics in the empire, so human sacrifices are heretics.

Dante said nothing. It is undeniable that for a moment, he did feel guilty because he doubted whether the other party saw that he had ordered the summoning of demons, but then he realized that this should also be "common sense" to them, so it could not represent it at all. What.

While his thoughts were racing through all this, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to narrate: "This ceremony will not use human animals in any sense. That is an approach that is either conservative, has distorted taste, or is inefficient. , and the most fatal thing is that it is 'unsustainable'. I think, at least from now on, it is time to replace the power of 'summoning subspace entities' with 'clean energy'."

She ignored Dante's raised eyebrows after hearing these words, and just continued: "I will use the soul of the planet on Baal's main star and the connection between the celestial motion and tides of the entire Baal three-star system to drive The whole ceremony.”

Meow meow... (six o'clock)

Chapter 259 Mephiston is confused

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that perhaps in the beginning, they should not choose to discuss things at the dinner table. At least not this time, because no one enjoyed the meal.

Considering the difference in food intake and body size, she tentatively thought that Dante ate worse than she did - at least during the relatively calm period at the beginning of the dinner, she did eat half full and managed to finish the glass of orange juice. Drink it. On the other hand, Dante, by the time the banquet was over and the two of them left, the mountains of food in front of him had barely moved.

However, unlike Fujimaru Ritsuka who was still thinking about what to eat as a snack on the way back to the Emperor's Dream, Dante's thoughts did not linger on "what to eat" for even a microsecond. After the former disappeared from sight, the latter immediately began to sort out the meeting records in the servo skull, preparing to hand them over to Mephiston, borrowing the wisdom of the chief think tank to judge whether the plan that Fujimaru Ritsuka just briefly described was theoretical. feasibility.

For Primaris Space Marines, "taking in energy through food" is still an inevitable necessity as a living being, but "eating three times a day on time" is not. For the same reason, "rest and sleep on time" are not either. Therefore, even if everyone has been busy all day because of the complicated rituals in the ceremony, Dante does not think that there will be any obstacles in finding Mephiston at this moment.

But he did hit a roadblock.

The next second after the chapter leader arrived at the library, he was told by his servant: Mephiston, the think tank director, immediately dived into the sea of ​​books inside after finishing his work today, and told others to follow him Don't disturb him before walking out. Even the summary report of the emergencies that occurred during today's ball was left to his valet, Jorgeselius, to write.

"Did he discover something?" Dante was very confused. "During the previous dinner, did something suddenly happen that even Mephiston couldn't understand?"

This was a question that the servants and scholars in the library could not answer, so Joselius was quickly invited out: "Lord Dante, we believe that under the command of the imperial saint, there are some who can do it under the curtain. Warp entities coming and going from both sides are working for her.”

This made Dante frown: "What's going on?"

"You still remember that during the dance, we once reported a chaotic incident caused by cult members." Johselius explained.

"I remember. I also remember that the matter was properly addressed and the impact was neutralized."

"Yes. But in the process - this matter was solved by the think tanks led by Lord Mephiston and in cooperation with a Black Templar cousin who came out of the ranks of the Forbidden Army. We solved it without any effort In order to defeat those heretics who tried to tear apart the curtain through evil rituals, Lord Mephiston wanted to use his spells to disperse the lifeless people gathered in the subspace, but he happened to see...'something', naturally. The earth passes through the veil and appears in reality as a physical entity.”

Hesselius still had an expression of disbelief when describing this matter, but Dante felt it was understandable: even if he knew nothing about psychic powers, he still felt that this matter sounded very innovative: " What's next? Have you taken any measures against this subspace entity?"

"We didn't." Johselius's tone was mixed with a little regret and luck that were not easily discovered. "At that moment, we were all stunned - the cultist's ritual was not successful, but at that time The scene looked too much like 'the ritual had indeed summoned something'. Everyone was delayed for a moment, and then we discovered that the black Templar cousin and this... person, the 'subspace entity', interacted with each other. Know and obviously have a working relationship.”

This sounded a little too new, so new that it was shocking. Even the experienced Dante had never seen this in his legendary service. So, his first reaction to this was: "That Black Templar brother... is he really a Black Templar?"

"He is not only a Black Templar, he has a black sword, and he is the Emperor's Champion." There was also disbelief in Joscelius' tone, "The Emperor's blessing cannot be forged, so we are sure that he... is not disguised by some mess."

"What did that 'subspace entity' do?"

"It transformed into a regular-looking mortal male, with black hair, black skin, and white clothes. Somehow it was like a demon host, able to affect things in reality normally." Jorgeselius narrated , "But he didn't do anything. He just took a piece of paper and wrote something, then folded the note in half and handed it to the Black Templar cousin. I think this should be some kind of link they had agreed upon beforehand - The note was taken to Fujimaru Ritsuka not long after, and was later handed back to Lord Mephiston."

"Do you know what's written on the note?"

"I don't know. I only saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka had approved it when Master Mephiston unfolded the note, but I didn't see the specific words clearly."

Dante frowned: "The chief think tank didn't say anything?"

"After reading the note, no." Jorgeselius added, "But when we saw the subspace entity, Lord Mephiston asked about its identity, and the other party responded. I think that's all. The content made him immerse himself in ancient documents right after the incident, trying to find out more mysteries."

The high-level think tank hesitated significantly, but after carefully observing the face of the chapter leader, he decided to elaborate on this paragraph:

"At that time, Lord Mephiston asked the other party: 'Who are you?' I am very sure that a huge subspace power has been gathered at his hands. But the other party did not easily destroy everything in the entire room because of this. Shaken by the strength, he just turned around and answered in standard High Gothic:

"'My real name is Arjuna.'" Jorgeselius tried to imitate the other party's polite tone, but made the listener feel shorter than the other party for no reason. "This is strange, but this subspace entity It really emphasizes that its 'real name' is so. Then, it adds: 'If this name has been submerged in a long time, people have also used it as Yiyuesheng, Winning Wealth, Crowned One, Ever Victorious, I have been called the one who controls the white horse, the one who shoots the left and right bows, and many other names. Now, I am only a servant, serving under the title of Master Fujimaru Ritsuka.' Then it did not answer any other questions, and after writing the note, it came again Disappeared through the curtain."

Joselius paused for a moment, and finally concluded with a bit of complaint: "I think Lord Mephiston must have thought of something from this passage, and then he was able to escape from work. In an instant, I immediately ran into the pile of old papers."

Dante nodded helplessly: "Then I hope he can bring us some good news. By the way, please help me tell him that after talking to Fujimaru Ritsuka alone, I also have some psychic problems here. His wisdom is desperately needed to try to solve it.”

Meow meow meow...

Nana's self-introduction to the long list of titles: They are from the original epic texts, and I wrote them down based on my memory (so there is a high possibility of errors and there are no Sanskrit transliterations with unfamiliar characters that are impossible to remember).

Off topic: Excluding the Imperial Guards, if we were to compare the length of the titles, the Regent would probably lose to Arjuna...

Chapter 260 Orange cat, sneak attack from behind

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who returned to the Emperor's Dream, immediately discovered two things: first, the Lion's Mane still hung itself on the track where it was originally, and seemed to have no intention of leaving; second, the Lion's Mane The crew members on board—from the mortal crew members responsible for liaison with the sound array to Lan Malok who appeared on the opposite side of the broadcast image with astonishing efficiency—their mental states were obviously... not normal.

"I feel like you guys are a little panicked." Ritsuka Fujimaru commented, "Did what happened before cause any problems?"

Lan Malok didn't speak for the first time.

Even though the full-body power armor had completely covered his entire body, and no trace of exposed biological tissue could be seen, Fujimaru Ritsuka could still tell from the broadcast video in front of him that the signal and picture quality were very average. Instructor Yi seemed a little languid.

How she managed to make a judgment under such a premise is a secret of the Chaldean Master. And when she was thinking about what to say next based on this judgment, Lan Malok finally spoke - but in terms of content, he was completely thinking about what he said:

"The Blood Angels have designated a parking lot for the Stormbound in Arax Angel Fortress." There was a strong "business-like" tone in his tone, "Custodes Warden Vasilian We have made all preparations, just waiting for you to go and authenticate the authority of Imaginary Submarine."

Fujimaru Ritsuka subtly showed a look of pity: "Lan Malok, the more lies you tell, the more wrong you become. By saying this, you are clearly telling me that the Storm Frontier was delayed by something. That’s why we didn’t go to the surface of Baal Prime immediately after the preparations were completed.”

Lan Malok was obviously choked, and then asked: "What's wrong?"

"You know a little too much, but that's normal, because you are the Master of Fire Wings. Unfortunately, you don't know enough." Fujimaru Ritsuka replied, "You have been to the main control room of the Storm Edge, and you know that there is an authorization authentication system installed there. But you have never really participated in the actual operation of the ship, so you don't know that the authorization authentication system is basically a decoration. The statement that 'if the person with the activation authority in the authentication system is not there, the Storm Edge cannot perform virtual submergence' is fundamentally untrue."

After some compatibility modifications related to Imperial equipment were carried out in Star Torch, Storm Frontier did have some more Imperial style in terms of authority authentication - mainly referring to the installation of a servo system that is compatible with various power armors. This is indeed a modification to facilitate the operation of the small ship by the natives of the empire when necessary, but so far, in actual operation, the only people who use this system seriously are Somni and Sigismund.

You must know that the Stormbound was born out of Captain Nemo's Noble Phantasm, so the control system on this ship is actually part of Captain Nemo's spiritual foundation - in other words, which the Imperial people can understand better, it has become a spirit. Machine soul. Except for Somni and Sigismund, who were too serious, others including Fujimaru Ritsuka (referring to Asclepius, Arjuna, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who had not actually operated ) actually relied on being friendly with Captain Nemo when commanding the operation of the Stormbound.

Lan Malok, who was drawn into the present from the time of the Great Crusade, has seen many monsters and monsters in the recent period, and is somewhat accustomed to the strange living environment inside the subspace on the Storm Frontier. However, under a series of unreasonable circumstances, The imagination of the event is inevitably lacking.

Somni was now in the harbor as the Emperor's Dream, Sigismund and Arjuna were not there, but even without mentioning Jeanne Alter, who was basically bound to Sevatar, Asclepius was still in the infirmary. If Vasilyan, who had never entered the permissions, was willing to try to connect to the relevant system with his power armor, he would find that the console itself would give him a green light after a short pause.

By the way, although Somni always called Fujimaru Ritsuka "Captain", that did not mean "Captain of the Storm's Edge", but "Captain of the Emperor's Dream". The only person who truly had "captain authority" on the Storm's Edge was Nemo, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was at most the acting captain under the premise of mutual consent.

After hearing this explanation, Lanmarok immediately looked even more depressed. This was another solid proof that his mental state was different from usual: in the past, if he encountered such a thing, he would at least quickly find two or three excuses for himself, no matter whether they made sense or not, but now, he just admitted defeat in a daze.

"...This is quite counterintuitive, so it's not your fault that you failed here, it's Chaldea's problem." Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was a little weak for no reason, tried to comfort him, "I won't ask what happened before, but are you really okay now?"

"It's nothing. We are very good. It can be said that we have never been better." Lan Malok replied, but his interest was obviously not high, so it didn't sound like "better than ever" at all. "I'm sorry for causing a sudden incident during the ceremony. incident, but you can just pretend that nothing happened before. In the days to come, the Lion's Mane will continue to serve under your name."

Fujimaru Ritsuka crossed his arms: "You know, this makes you sound more and more suspicious."

Lan Malok looked like he couldn't hold it in any longer. He obviously wanted to say something to this "superior" who had been basically confirmed to be trustworthy after getting along with him for about half a year, but after making a little meaningless noise, the Firewing Grand Master's integrity still allowed him to successfully All the words I wanted to say went back to my stomach:

"I can't say." He gave up on himself on the other side of the broadcast. "I shouldn't have even made you feel abnormal, but there is no doubt that I failed completely."

"You did your best in 'human affairs', but it's a pity that the 'fate' for this matter lies with me." Fujimaru Ritsuka responded nonchalantly, "You should not be too harshly criticized for your so-called failure in this matter. If anyone or anything in the Dark Angels wants to use this matter to cause trouble for you in the future, just tell them and beat me down in advance."

That's what she said originally, but unexpectedly, a voice did come from diagonally above her:

"Then what should I do if I really have the ability to knock you down in advance?"

At that moment, Lan Malok quickly lowered his head with an emotion that was hard to tell whether it was awe or panic. Fujimaru Ritsuka turned her head inexplicably from the direction of the broadcast projection - and then she found that she had to turn around, raise her head, and take two steps back to barely be able to take in the other person's full view:

Leon El Jonson, who was wearing dark green armor and seemed to have a bit of blood smell on his body, folded his arms and clearly wrote the words "I am very dissatisfied" on his face. He looked at her carefully from top to bottom.

Meow meow (six o'clock)...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 261 Beware of Language Traps

In that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought a lot.

After all, she had already been surprised by Chapter Master Dante about "Leon El'Jonson has returned"; about "the returned original body may suddenly appear without warning", She had learned that from Corvus Corax. With the above premise, she succeeded in acting calmly when facing the current situation, without being too surprised to hinder her thinking ability.

Since, in the psychic council unfolding on Parmenio, she could make a prompt decision to "try to capture Corvos Corax" in a scene that was about to become chaotic in front of Robert Guilliman. decision, then she would not show any obvious fear when facing the Tangtang Lion King who appeared behind her.

The first thing that needs to be done is to swallow back the sentence "You look much older than you did ten thousand years ago."

— but this may partly explain the strange mental state of the Lion's Mane's crew.

"Then let's move the topic a little further." After three seconds of "a lot of thinking," Fujimaru Ritsuka replied calmly (at least that's what it seemed), "Are you sure, you want to Are you causing trouble for Lan Malok because of this matter?"

Leon tilted his head, but that didn't mean anything. In the illusion, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't catch the clues of his emotions from the lion with 100% accuracy, and it was certainly impossible to find the cunning old lion in front of her now. The Lion King just tilted his head, but other than that his expression did not change, and his tone when he spoke again was flat: "What if I say, this is it?"

"If that's the case," Fujimaru Ritsuka emphasized this virtual premise while moving away from the various facilities and shields behind him, slowly increasing the distance between him and the original body, "then you really have to start thinking of a way to 'beat me down'."

Lanmalok in the broadcast projection looked terrified, but Lion himself just sneered: "Are you sure? After you find out that you need to face me - the real master of the Dark Angels, a Primarch, a creature whose power far exceeds yours - are you sure you still don't intend to change your original statement?"

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase it." Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully widened the distance between himself and Leon to about five meters without the other party taking action. "Changing orders from morning to night is a taboo for commanders." , if I just renege on my promise without a proper reason, I won’t be able to sit firmly in this position—Lan Malok and the others should have told you about me, right?”

"You guessed it right." Leon El Jonson looked at the space that had just been separated between the two without any dissatisfaction - at least it seemed like this - and it was very difficult for his speed and reaction ability. The distance was still meaningless, and he turned his attention back to the other party, "I know very well that you are leading this team in name only."

"So now, nominally, I am Ran Malok's direct superior." Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have finally found a comfortable distance for her. After standing still, she crossed her arms defensively again, "So I Hold on, if you want to cause trouble with him, you have to get past me first.”

Ran Malok could no longer see the shadow of Fujimaru Ritsuka on the radio, but this did not prevent him from immediately beginning to wonder if she was mentally abnormal after hearing these words. It was difficult for him to judge from the restricted picture transmitted by the broadcast how Leon, who was at the scene, felt about this, but at least his original body seemed to be interested: "Do you still insist on the way you just claimed? 'Knock you down'?"

"Are you going to take action?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked vigilantly.

"I'm just curious." Leon answered calmly, "I admit that if the one who is peeking into the room at the door... Sigismund? realizes something is wrong and rushes in, he can indeed hold me back for a few seconds. But how are you going to get out of the next predicament in these few seconds?"

The gap between the Primarch and the Astartes is so difficult to cross - of course, the premise is that the Emperor did not cheat in the process. The gap between the Primarch and mortals will only be greater - of course, the same premise must be emphasized again. At least now, Leon really can't imagine how Fujimaru Ritsuka, who can only run a few steps in a few seconds and can't even get any reliable weapons and equipment, will fight back after he successfully makes Sigismund lose his combat effectiveness.

"I think there are some misunderstandings here." Fujimaru Ritsuka also said calmly, "First of all, this is a conflict between you and me over the command of some of the Dark Angels' troops, so I will not ask Sigismund to De came to help; secondly, I only said you have to try to 'punch me down', but I didn't say that the premise here is 'I will challenge you in a one-on-one fight'."

Just as she finished her words, a double-glazed transparent curtain wall landed between the two people in the room with a "bang" amidst the sound of huge mechanical operation at a speed that the original body was slightly unable to react. The entire glittering room also shook continuously. In the loud noise that almost swallowed everything, what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was separated behind the completely sealed double-layer glass, and was interpreted by the Caliban Lion in the form of lip reading:

"Sorry for the word play, but I'm pretty good at 'hide and seek', and the Emperor's Dream happens to be my home turf." She smiled and waved at him from behind the glass, "I want to If you want to 'beat me down', you have to find where I actually am first. Is this logic correct?"

The ground under Leon's feet slowly began to sink amid the vibrations - or in other words, the half of the room where Fujimaru Ritsuka was located slowly began to rise. The room on the Emperor's Dream was bounded by a double-glazed curtain wall. The originally tight floors and walls slowly dislocated and split. They were split into two rooms amidst the sound of the machine's rotation, and each began to move to another location.

This fact, which was completely unexpected but was happening right before his eyes, made Leon feel mixed in his heart. First of all, he had to praise this little mortal girl who seemed to be only a little older. She was really smart and responsible. The Lion's Mane did not suffer any disadvantages when it served under her management.

Secondly, he must emphasize that he had boarded the Emperor's Dream more than once thousands of years ago, but he never knew that this magnificent ship had such a function - he had not discovered it by his own ability. , and the Emperor never told him. But now this function has been used so skillfully by a little girl who doesn't know where it came from. It was even used without any possibility of rehearsing it in advance, and it was used to successfully escape the attack range of a original body. This inevitably made him feel a little sour in his heart.

But if Leon did have a strong intention to attack at that time, the outcome of the matter would probably have to be told differently. Leon didn't think that just two layers of special glass, even if it was installed on the Emperor's Dream, so the quality of the special glass could never be compromised, could completely block him and his sword.

During the movement, the originally transparent glass curtain wall turned into opaque black under the action of program instructions. The "door" in this room was removed by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side during the separation, and Leon himself did not come with the purpose of antagonizing the other party. So now, the original body locked in this small space has to wait for the end of this round of "transformation" to see if this room will be "assigned" to a normal exit before making plans.

Chapter 262 Cats are scary, cats are trapped in their cocoons

Before arriving aboard the Emperor's Dream through his warp forest, Leon El'Jonson had already completed a certain level of profile on Fujimaru Ritsuka during his conversation (or interrogation) with Ranmalok. Write.

Although it is said that this person has the command of the Emperor's Dream, has technology that is unimaginable even to the Lion King who has the Icarus Protocol, and has also successfully obtained a small group of Dark Angels that he lost thousands of years ago. The organization of the troop command authority is led by a seventeen-year-old (self-proclaimed) mortal girl as the chief commander. This thing sounds really weird; however, after quickly learning about this through the battle report on the Lion's Mane, After what the ship and its crew had experienced in their subjective experience for more than half a year, the Primarch was surprised, and actually had already become aware of this distribution of power that seemed quite counter-intuitive to Tiangang by the standards of ten thousand years ago. There was some recognition.

The first was the escape of Night Lords First Captain Argo Severtarion from prison under the custody of the Dark Angels - and subsequent attempts by the Lion's Mane to remedy this were unsuccessful. Regardless of whether it is placed ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, this is a serious mistake, and Ranmallock, who is the leader of this ship, should undoubtedly be punished for it. But considering that it was because of this incident that all the crew members of the Lion's Mane could drift in the subspace ten thousand years later and be reunited with the original body who had awakened ten thousand years later, Lei Ang hesitated again on whether to actually take punishment accordingly.

For ten thousand years, maybe he just lay there and fell asleep, or maybe his soul drifted somewhere else. The fisherman in the floating boat didn't tell him, and neither did the Dark Watch. But he did change during this period of time that he barely noticed: he was older - even a betrayer had first told him this - and softer than before.

He retracted his running thoughts, skipped this point which was not the main contradiction at the moment, and continued to read the Lion's Mane's operation records and Lanmarok's work records. What happened on Jestal was written in a mess. The records were not only full of vague, self-contradictory descriptions that looked like the tricks of the Chaos enemy, but also the undoubted part showed that the Lion's Mane had somehow lost an extinction weapon-level ship-borne virus bomb during this period.

These records are followed by a note from Ritsuka Fujimaru for reference. This explanatory record details the "truths" that are "impossible to be verified anymore." The language she used in writing was High Gothic from 10,000 years ago. Her words and sentences were very formal, the document format was also very standard, and the data was very detailed, but the things she described did not look real. Therefore, at the end of this document, Leon saw the electronic signatures of several people fighting underneath. The annotations showed that these inner circle members had great differences on whether to add it to the record - but in the end , Ranmarok won, so Leon managed to read this bunch of nonsense here to the effect that "the entire timeline of Jestal has been rewritten for thousands of years."

Even the original body's brain couldn't tell whether this was true or not, so Leon simply put this part aside. He then looked down and saw the reappearance of Conrad Curze, and the fact that the Lion's Mane was forced to release all the Night Lord prisoners they originally held. Not to mention his inexplicable reappearance of the rebel brothers, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mediation was obviously also an important factor in making the whole thing come to a smooth conclusion without bloodshed.

Perhaps the writing style of the previous report was preconceived in some aspects. Based on the few words describing Fujimaru Ritsuka in this record, Leon profiled a trumpet Guilliman who was very good at pretending to be powerful. He told himself that there was too little information and that this conjecture was groundless, so he quickly dismissed the image that appeared in his mind and made him feel uncomfortable, and then skipped and recorded the two interviews with Lan in the inner circle that followed. Mallock initiated the impeachment process (and all failed) documents, and asked the Firewing Grand Master who was still poking in front of his eyes, and who seemed to be almost waiting for execution after getting the information: "Who is Konrad Curze?" what happened?"
