Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 344 The Path of the Expedition: The Micaea Conference
Magnus stands in this small circular waiting room, with its beautiful statues, beautiful murals hanging on the walls and colorful mosaics at the feet, it is a beautiful place from every angle. The place is a life-long work of artisan masters.

In fact, this entire palace was built to welcome the Emperor, yes, to welcome the supreme leader of the Empire of Man, the author of the Empire's truth, the initiator of the Great Crusade, the person who admired reason and knowledge, etc. The emperor of other titles, the Imperial Fist and the Iron Warriors, worked together for the first time to build this palace.

Yes, you heard that right, since the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists have joined forces, and have not fought before or during the process, neither their warriors, their leading officers, or even their Primarch Rogge Both Donne and Perturabo displayed surprising restraint.

After all, this is not surprising. With the Emperor coming soon, their two legions are still fighting infighting. It will only cause the two Primarchs and their children to lose face in front of the Emperor, and not only the Emperor. , but humiliated in front of all the other sixteen expeditions and the remaining Primarchs who had come to assemble.

Therefore, Rog Dorn, who values ​​honor, and Perturabo, who abides by the way of fame, put down their hostility to each other, and worked together to build this Holy Flame Palace together under the condition of "loving each other as much as possible". to welcome the arrival of the Emperor.

But Magnus could see that even so, the contest between them never stopped. Everything here is extremely luxurious, with the life-long efforts of many skilled craftsmen, and even many building materials are not at all. This galaxy, not even a nearby star field, can be found. In order to achieve perfection, pressing the other side in front of the Emperor, the Imperial Fist and the Iron Warriors can also do their best.

The result is satisfactory, everything here is resplendent, especially the statues, Roger Dorn has a master builder named Valjos Catlinp, a mortal, if Magnus If I remember correctly, he was famous for his sculptural skills.

Magnus had had the privilege of admiring many of his works, and even in the great library on Prospero, there stood a huge statue by Master Valjos, a sculpture of a contemplative scholar, Magnus was so impressed by the lifelike statue, with all its details, that he recognized the statue in front of him as the hand of the master Varjos.

In this waiting room also stands a statue, the statue of the Emperor, the tall human lord sitting on a rock in a quaint scholar's robe, holding a book in his hand and watching thoughtfully, There are also many books stacked on the stone beside him.

"It's ironic." Magnus thought to himself. This statue shaped the Emperor into a learned sage who pursued knowledge and mysteries, but today in this temple, he is going to be judged for his pursuit of mediocrity. Magnus looked at the statue, whose existence was almost silent irony, wondering how the Emperor would feel if he saw it.

"Hey, Magnus, what are you doing here?" A voice sounded from the side, and Magnus turned his head to look. Vito was walking in through the golden gate on the side of the waiting hall. He was wearing casual clothes as always. Sexual clothing, a black jacket and denim trousers, with a bolt gun hanging loosely around the waist.

"You're about to stand in front of all the Primarchs, and the Emperor, yet you're still dressed so casually? Where's the marshal suit that Fulgrim gave you?"

"That thing? Forget it, I might as well wear a breastplate in that uniform, it's too heavy to die, and besides, you're all my friends, do I have to be so pretentious?" Vito smiled. Walking over, he walked to Magnus and glanced at the statue of the emperor on the side, then smiled and put his hands on his hips.

"Okay, this product may need to be considered for a while, but that's all, it's just a group of friends chatting about some issues."

Magnus turned his head and gave a wry smile, he sighed softly, "Maybe for you, but maybe not for me, this is a trial, Vito, yes In my trial, the people in it are judges and jurors, and even executioners, I'm sure Ruth has sharpened his knives and can't wait."

"Enough, Magnus, things won't go that far, I promise." Vito said while pressing down on the scarlet giant's leg armor, the latter turned his head slightly and looked at Vito in silence, he thought for a while. just spoke.

"Vito, promise me, if things really get to that point, don't fight other people because of me, it's good for you and all mankind."

"I said, it won't be a step forward, come on, we should go in." Vito said that he would not let Magnus continue the topic, he shoved his hands towards the front door, and the eagle The wooden door full of delicate patterns was suddenly pushed open by Vito's psychic energy.

The people behind the gate were immediately attracted by the sound of the door opening. The double door panels slammed into the doorposts on both sides, and the rumbling sound quickly resounded throughout the circular Senate-style hall. Leman Russ, who was looking at something, both Ryan and Sanguinius looked over.

Vito strode into the hall, followed by Magnus into the staircase hall, he looked around the brothers standing on the long and wide platform, Perturabo, Horus, Rog Donne and Guilliman, as well as Alpha and Omega, Fulgrim, Curze, Fulghan and others were all present, and the tall primarchs were standing in their gorgeous or simple armors. around the stairs.

All the eighteen Primarchs, including Magnus, have expanded their territories in all parts of the galaxy, and all the demigod giants who have conquered the Quartet for mankind are all gathered here. At this moment, here, this A few days ago, Mikaya, which was still unknown, and even few people knew its name, suddenly became the absolute power core of the entire empire.

Magnus looked around at his brothers, who were all standing on the stairs and looking down at him, which made Magnus laugh sarcastically, he turned his head slightly to look at Vito, "Are you sure? Isn't this a trial?"

"This is originally a trial. We have to judge your dangerous behavior and then decide how to deal with you." Wearing a gray-white power armor with countless Loen runes and Fenris patterns engraved on it, the wolf king Riemann. Ruth said with his arms in his arms, his mouth was full of fangs with the words.

But compared to the other fangs, the Dionysian spear on his back is his real fangs. Magnus looked at Riemann and sneered, and he also held his arms in his arms, "Then you Why not just hand down the verdict and execute me?"

"Oh, I'm very happy, Magnus." Riemann said and walked forward like a threat, but before he took two steps, he was pulled by Sanguinius behind him, with white wings and waves The blond-haired Sanguinius stepped forward, and he grabbed Riemann's arm.

"Enough, Riemann, we are here for a fair exchange and discussion, not for you to threaten our brothers with swords and guns." The holy archangel said this, and Vito looked at the shining golden body. Power armor, that armor is branded with three blood-red Eye of Terra gems on the chest, that finishing touch makes the armor almost perfect, just like what he wears.

Riemann Ruth made a disdainful cut. He turned to look at Sanguinius beside him, and then glanced at Magnus, "I want to say, there is nothing to discuss, this kid is here. Playing with fire is still the kind that will burn us all to death, so we should punish him directly."

"But fortunately, you're not the one who makes the decision, Riemann, now close your mouth and let me roll up and stand on the top." Vito said, slightly tilting his head and gesturing to one side of the stairs, the wolf king looked at Vito annoyed Baring his teeth, like an enraged wild wolf, but in the end he couldn't do it, turned around and walked straight up the long steps.

Sanguinius looked at Riemann's back and sighed helplessly, then nodded kindly to Vito and Magnus beside him, and walked up the steps himself. After the archangel stepped up, he was silent. The king of knights, Ryan the lion of Caliban also turned his head and looked at Vito.

The Lion King pressed his knight's sword and looked at Vito in silence, but after the two silently exchanged glances, Ryan nodded. At the same time, there was a heavy crash on the central high platform behind the Lion King. The sound of the earth, the dull crashing sound quickly attracted the attention of all the surrounding primarchs.

Everyone present looked up, and between the golden gauze hanging behind the high platform and the lion statues crouching on both sides, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard Valdo was holding the dazzling spear known as the sister spear with Riemann. The spear came out, and he stepped onto the high platform, standing on the edge of the handrail overlooking the Primarchs below.

The commander-in-chief of the Custodians struck the ground with his spear again, and the voice was low and majestic. After confirming that everyone was quiet and focused, Valdo stepped aside and said, "The Emperor and the Horse Prime Minister Cardo arrives."

The primarchs surrounding the steps around the high platform stared at the arch, and soon there was a sound of heavy but majestic footsteps, and a tall figure emerged from the door, he bent slightly to let himself A burly body taller than the Primarchs could emerge from behind the door.

The man, the man with long dark brown hair and light-colored chocolate skin stood on the high platform, his golden eyes staring at everyone around him, the golden eyes and the shining halo behind his head are enough Intimidating anyone, even kneeling involuntarily.

In fact, this was indeed the case. All the primarchs in the entire hall knelt down, and they knelt down in front of the golden stalwart figure, except for Magnus and Vito on the central ground.

Vito did not kneel, but gave the man a standard military salute, the golden man on the high platform smiled slightly, he looked at Vito below, "Is there any reason why you don't choose to kneel? Marshal, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Dissatisfaction? It depends on which part you start from, but no, it doesn't matter why I don't kneel. I'm a soldier, so standing salute is more suitable for me." Vito raised his arms, his mouth full of sarcasm. Said, to be honest, only Vito can dare to have a yin and yang relationship with the Emperor in front of all the surrounding Primarchs.

The Emperor was still smiling, he then turned his head to look at Magnus beside Vito, and at the same time Malcador, holding the scepter of the flaming eagle, came out from behind the Emperor, and he was holding the scepter. The flaming golden eagle's staff stood by the Emperor's side.

The old man seemed to have difficulty walking, but his eyes still had the enthusiasm of a young man. Under the old body, there was a fire of eternal power burning. He was the emperor for the emperor. The chancellor who is in charge of the entire administrative system of the empire can even be said to be the only existence other than the Emperor himself who holds the greatest power like Vito.

Because of this, most of the statues and paintings in the Empire have the Emperor in the middle, Vito is on the left, and Malcador is on the right, so you can see his high status.

"Marshal Vito doesn't kneel because he's a soldier, what about you? Magnus, why are you?" the Emperor still asked kindly, although Magnus couldn't hear the words. Any sincere meaning is too fake, it's purely a pretend show.

Magnus stood upright facing the Emperor, his red-golden one eye looked up at the Emperor on the stage, "I am the scapegoat, since I am here, what am I going to do, how to do it, can I do it? If you can't do it, it's up to you, the most expensive emperor."

Vito could hear it. The last sentence was full of irony. Everyone could hear it. The Primarchs who were still kneeling on the ground looked at each other. Among them, Ruth directly clenched his fists. As soon as the emperor gave an order, he would rush up and tear this disrespectful person to pieces.

But the Emperor didn't do that, he just smiled faintly, and then raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to get up, "Okay, let's all get up, don't let Magnus stand alone."

The tall primarchs present all stood up. When these tall giants rose together, it was like a rising mountain range. Vito looked around at the people around him. After getting up, Ryan nodded slightly to Vito and then straddled the Taking the Sword of the Lion King up the stairs to one side, he stood beside Horus and Lorgar.

The Emperor stood on the high platform in the middle of the stairs on both sides. He raised his head slightly and raised his hands to signal. He first glanced at Magnus and the steps on his side with his left hand, "We are again today, yes In order to discuss and decide whether to keep the existence of the think tank, and whether to allow research on warp psionics, the supporters include Magnus who founded the think tank and initiated research privately first, and Sanguinius and Sanguinius who supported him. Khan."

Vito glanced slightly at Jaghatai Khan, the leader of the White Scars, who stood at the top of the steps on the left, and the eagle on the Chogris Plateau leaned against a stone pillar, one of his hands gently Pressed on the machete hanging from his waist, his fingers touched the silver horse handle.

The Khan glanced at the Emperor. He didn't pay any respect to his father as a son. Instead, he nodded to Vito. The Emperor may have noticed this move, maybe not, but he chose to ignore the Khan in the end. demonstrations.

The Emperor raised his right hand and gestured to the people on the other side, "The opponents of the think tank and the research warp are Ruth, Perturabo and Mortarion. Now, let each of them speak. I will listen to the voice of wisdom and reason and make a decision."

"Let's start with Magnus, after all, everything starts with you, Marshal, please step aside." The Emperor looked at Vito and said, waving his fingers gently, and Vito had no choice. Confrontation, he hugged his arms and nodded to Magnus before walking aside.

Vito leaned on the stairs to one side, and on the first step behind him stood Fugrim and Curze, the purple phoenix and the night bat stood aside, and on the steps behind them were the others. Primarch, they all listened silently, and even the impatient Ruth quieted down in front of the Emperor.

Magnus took a long sigh, and he raised his head firmly to look at the Emperor in front of him, "My lord, you used to have psionic communication with me when I was a child, when the Great Crusade was just beginning. The ability of remote projection and precept and example taught me many things, without offending the brothers, you and I are the first to know and know each other."

"Do you remember the day you came to Prospero? We hugged like two old friends, talking about knowledge and the sea of ​​stars in the library. Do you remember all that?"

"Of course I remember, Magnus, I remember everything." The Emperor said calmly. His words were as calm as a sea without waves, as smooth as a mirror, without even a single wave. It's hard for you to judge. As for what the Emperor is thinking about right now, he hid his heart very well.

Magnus nodded, he had given up trying to figure out what the Emperor was thinking a long time ago, and that wasn't something he liked to do either, it was more like a court jester or a flattering courtier trying to gain a bit of his father's favor Appreciate, he knew that some of the other brothers were doing this, but Magnus wouldn't, what he was after from the beginning was only the same, not power, but knowledge.

"Then you must remember that on that day, in the Great Library, you told me to have the courage to explore this dangerous galaxy. Everything in this universe, even if it is dangerous, should be active as long as it can be used by human beings. Exploring, do you remember, my lord."

"I remember, Magnus, I remember everything that happened and what I told you."

"Then, my lord, this is what I'm going to tell you. I created a think tank to study the technology of the warp because it can be used by humans, just like you told me."

"Then you must remember, I also told you that the warp is extremely dangerous, you should not touch those dangerous things, things that will bring disaster, child, I have lived a long time, and I have been pursuing science all my life. And truth, if I have learned the most important thing in my life, it is that some things are better if I don’t understand them, and some things should never leave the shadows.”

Magnus took a step forward, and he looked up at the high emperor and said excitedly, "But I found that the warp can be used! Not only in the cosmic direction, it can be used in many ways! Energy, medicine and even science and technology, the warp can subvert and create new physical laws, which can completely transform our civilization! Just like the Eldar!"

"I have to remind you, brother, that the Eldar were destroyed by the abuse of the warp. They destroyed their empire with their own hands. Do you want us to do the same?" Perturabo said loudly on the side, his voice instantly Overpowering Magnus' voice, the latter turned to look at his brother and frowned.

"That's Eldar abuse, and we can study it, understand it, and make the warp work for us!"

"On Fenris, there is a story about an old hunter who retrieved a megalodon that had lost its mother from the icefield, believing that he could raise and tame the beast so that the beast would So when the tribe hunts, it can be a big help to keep enough food for the winter and not starve."

Riemann stood on the steps and said with his arms in his arms. He looked at Magnus below and said slowly, "The people in the tribe warned him that the Megalodon cannot be tamed at all, it will only grow up. After eating him, the hunter rejected the advice of his kin, and stubbornly brought the beast back to the tribe to take good care of it and raised it up, he thought he had tamed the beast."

"It was true at first, but in the end one day, the hunters didn't leave the house for several days, and there was no news of the tribe. Other tribes in the vicinity sent people to look for them. They did find the hunters and the people in the tribe. their bones, and the megalodon that ate them."

Magnus watched Riemann frown, and the latter waved his hand, his eyes full of disdain looking at the red giant, "And you, Magnus, you are just like that old hunter, stubborn. To tame that beast, you end up killing yourself and everyone in this hall."

"But maybe it's just that the old hunter didn't find the right way? Everything has two sides, good and evil coexist, and nothing can't be saved." The noble archangel Sanguinius slightly spread his wings and said, he looked around Brothers, said in a voice full of loving-kindness.

"There were also people who thought my children, the Ninth Legion, were a bunch of hopeless ghouls, tormented by blood thirst, and everyone advised me to give them up, but I didn't, I was with my children Having overcome the curse of blood thirst, they are now no longer that crazy monster, but a group of noble warriors."

Sanguinius looked at Ruth and said, the white wings behind him opened and closed slightly, and a reassuring light emanated from them, "Nothing is impossible, I can do this, Magnus It can also be done, we should believe in him, believe in our brother."

"On Joe Gris, all the children of the nomads know that to survive on the steppe you have to learn everything, adapt to the worst climates, learn everything you haven't learned." Khan leaned against the pillar and slowly He spoke, his words were short, but full of power.

"Does this include the dangerous ones?" Mortarion said hoarsely, wearing a breathing mask, his pale skin shrouded under the gray-green coat and cloak, Mortarion used a very low voice, as if The voice like sandpaper said.

"In my legion, there were also psionicists. They avoided my attention and studied the skills of the warp in private, hoping to help the legion in the war, but the only result they achieved was that they summoned, But uncontrollable warp chaotic energy killed them, and a whole boatload of them."

Mortarion growled, as if threatening someone, he looked at the Khan on the opposite side, and then lowered his head to look at Magnus below, "The energy of the warp is simply uncontrollable, and You didn't try it, Magnus, the fact is that we don't need warps, and from a materialistic scientific point of view we can invent technologies that can replace warps, just like the golden age."

"But you can't ignore the existence of the warp! They exist objectively, just like light and shadow, and they always exist. You can't eliminate the shadow. No matter how much you ignore it, it will still be behind you." Magnu Si said loudly, and Roger Dorn, who was beside him, suddenly spoke slowly in a calm, emotionless voice like an emperor.

"Then we need to ignore it, so that this dangerous existence will not threaten the expedition and humanity, let it be forgotten." "No! We can't forget it! Even if we forget the warp, the things in it will not be Forget us! They will come to us eventually, and we must face the threats of those evil gods! Learn how to fight them!"

"What God? Brother, what are you talking about?" Lorgar, who had been listening quietly and fiddled with the rosary with his fingers, suddenly asked, he was very confused and puzzled, "What do you mean by God? God?"

"You don't know? He didn't tell you? There is in the warp." "Enough! Magnus." The Emperor interrupted Magnus suddenly, sternly, looking down at his son, if that could called the words of his son.

Everyone turned to look at the stern Emperor, and the Primarchs looked at the Emperor who was obviously angered and remained silent. No one dared to speak, and everyone just looked at him.

The Emperor also looked at them, and Malcador, who was standing aside before he was about to speak, slapped the Emperor's arm lightly with his scepter. He gestured for the Emperor to come closer to him, he had something to say.

The tall Emperor looked at his old friend, he then knelt down without thinking, knelt beside Malcador on one knee and brought his ear close to him, Malcador stepped forward and said in a low voice, The voice was so small that only the Emperor could hear it.

"Do you remember the report the day before they were kidnapped by Chaos? The day before Erda opened the rift, the one sent by Dr. Astarte showed that the Primarch was affected by 40% of the warp, Magnus is so passionate about the power of the warp, does that mean"

"I understand what you mean, Malcador, I know what to do." The Emperor raised a hand to signal Malcador to stop, he then stood up and looked at the people below, the Emperor looked around at them and then He raised his head slightly.

His golden eyes looked down at Magnus, a face so majestic that the Primarch felt intimidated, and the Emperor raised a hand as if to pronounce the sentence, "I have heard your words. opinion, and now I will make a judgment."

"My verdict is to dissolve all legion think tanks, strictly prohibit research related to the subspace, and thoroughly investigate all materials and existing research records and destroy them."

"My lord! You can't!" Magnus took a step forward and seemed to want to say something, but he immediately stopped under the Emperor's staring eyes. He froze in place, looking up at the majestic Emperor .

"This is my verdict. I cannot allow such a dangerous thing to threaten humanity. The warp must be completely forgotten and hand over all your research resources."

"No! Never! I won't allow it!" Magnus yelled, and the Emperor stepped forward and glared at him, "Are you going to resist? Magnus, are you disobeying me? "

The emperor said loudly, and Riemann, who was on the side, immediately took out the Spear of Dionysus and strode down, and in the blink of an eye he was about to step forward to correct Magnus on the spot, but at this moment Vito suddenly rushed out, he pulled out the One hand of the bolt gun was aimed at Riemann's head, and the other hand slammed violently. The mechanical arm instantly burst through the clothes and slid out the shining plasma cannon, aiming a shot at Valdo who came forward with a spear.

Seeing this, the Emperor raised his hand to block Valdor. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army stopped immediately after bumping into the Emperor's arm. He glanced at the Emperor, and then looked at Vito below with his spear.

"Vito! Get out of the way, or I'll pierce you together!" Leman Russ glared at Vito and roared, and the latter glared at Riemann in turn, his eyes were not inferior to the wolf king's anger .

"Shut up for me! Get the hell out of here, you husky!" Vito cursed and turned to look at the emperor in front of him. He and the emperor looked at each other, the two who built the empire. The meta leaders looked each other in the eye.

The surrounding Primarchs looked at each other and seemed a little overwhelmed. Among them, Ryan subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword and planned to step forward to King Qin, but at this moment, the new war commander Horus immediately played a role. He strode forward to the center of the square and yelled at the surrounding brothers.

"Everyone, calm down! Riemann returned to his position, and Vito put away his weapons!" Horus looked at the two and roared loudly. Riemann glanced at Horus, then looked at Vito, and then The attacker watched Leman Russ silent for a while, then slowly put down the gun.

The plasma cannon in Vito's other hand was also put into his arm at once, and the situation was instantly controlled, but Riemann did not put down his spear. Wei Wei waved his hand to signal him to step back, and the wolf king returned to his position without hesitation.

The emperor raised his head slightly and looked at Vito below, "Do you have any advice? Marshal Vito, advice on dealing with Magnus." "I really do, my suggestion is for Magnus to hand over the data and give up research. , he was emotional just now, and the mistakes he made are not to be blamed."

"For his disobedience? This is undoubtedly a traitor!" Ruth clenched his fists and shouted angrily, but Sanguinius, who was opposite him, flew down the steps, and he flapped his wings and landed gently on Magnus. Beside him, the Archangel pressed Magnus' shoulders and looked at the Emperor.

"I also support the Marshal's suggestion, my lord, forgive Magnus for his unintentional offense just now." Sanguinius said in a very loving voice, like a real brother who cares for his own brother.

The Emperor looked at the eyes of the leader of his Ninth Legion. Those were incomparably beautiful eyes. The stalwart Lord was silent for a moment, then looked at Horus, "What's your opinion, Warmaster."

"I agree with Sanguinius, my lord, forgive Magnus, and I will vouch for him with the title of Warmaster." Horus said without hesitation, which surprised Vito, and turned his head to look. Horus looked shocked, not only him, Guilliman and Ryan both showed quite shocked expressions.

Because Horus has always longed for the title of Warmaster, he fought with Guilliman and Raun for a long time, and finally got it after nearly dying on Ullanor, and it didn't take long , but was willing to use that title to save Magnus.

Horus' action attracted the approval of many brothers present. Lord of Fire Dragon, Vulkan, the tallest Primarch present, took the lead in nodding in agreement. Lord of Fire Dragon looked at the Emperor with his fiery eyes, and his voice sounded. Also like a fire dragon, "I agree with the proposal of the marshal, my lord, on behalf of my legion and myself, I ask you to forgive our brother's unintentional actions."

The remaining Primarchs were all in awe of Horus' noble, selfless and brave deeds, with Horus' close friend Fulgrim first nodding in affirmation, followed by Fulgrim's good brother Fei. Ruth also nodded in approval. In the end, most of the Primarchs nodded silently to express their support, and those who had doubts, such as Mortarion, also chose to remain silent.

The Emperor looked around at the Primarchs around him, and finally nodded after some thought. He raised his eyes and looked at Magnus below, "Then do as they say, hand over your research data, and the rest will be forgotten.”

Magnus didn't intend to do that, he wouldn't hand over the information, but when he was about to protest again, he was immediately stopped by Vito with his eyes, Vito looked at Magnus' one-eyed and shook his head slightly, " For my sake, Magnus, don't do stupid things."

Vito said softly, Sanguinius and Horus, who also heard that, turned their heads to look at the red Cyclops, Magnus lowered his head and tangled in pain for a moment, he clenched his fists and looked like It was like crushing a planet, but in the end, Magnus let go of that fist.

Magnus sighed heavily and slowly raised his head, he looked into the Emperor's eyes and nodded tiredly, "I will hand over the information, I promise to give up all that, does this satisfy you? ? The Emperor."

"That's enough, the meeting is over." The Emperor said and turned and left immediately. He walked into the archway behind him and left without saying a word. Malcador also turned and left after looking at Vito. Then came Valdor, the Primarchs all over the hall after the Emperor left.

Horus looked at the brothers walking out from the gate behind him, he turned his head and nodded slightly to Sanguinius, and then went out with Lorgar who was waiting at the gate.

The rookie Warmaster and Lorgar disappeared at the edge of the gate. Sanguinius sighed as he watched Horus disappear. He patted Magnus on the shoulder and said softly, "I'm sorry. , bro, but, you've done everything you can."

"Come on, Sanguinius, leave me alone for a while." Magnus whispered, his voice hoarse and low, Sanguinius turned away after a little silence, the archangel closed his own Wings left sadly.

In the end, only Vito was left. He looked at Magnus beside him after being silent for a while and then turned to leave, but he was stopped by Magnus who turned his head slightly, "Vito. "

Vito stopped, he stopped a few steps behind Magnus, "What?" "Tell me, he told you and Ruth to kill Halifax and his Second Legion. , for the same reason? Because he has the same thirst for knowledge as I do? He has the same .

Vito was silent for a long time. He stood there like a statue, a statue that couldn't speak. After a while, Vito spoke. He put his hand in his pocket and said slowly, "Warp is very Dangerous, when you were born, when Chaos swept you away, your mother"

"Our mother?" Magnus turned his head in surprise and asked. He looked at Vito with his back turned to him in great confusion. As he stood there, countless things suddenly flashed across his back.

"That day, I lost Astarte, and he lost her. Although the Emperor will never admit it, he cared a lot that day. We won Magnus for a long time, and we will never forget many things. And Halifax, I don't want to lose you again, Magnus, you know what I mean?"

Magnus fell silent. He stood silently in the middle of the hall, and then sighed slowly, "Do you think I should give up that knowledge?"

"I don't know, Magnus, I don't know a lot of things, do what you think is right, no one can give you the answer, only you can."

Vito didn't finish his words, he walked away, Magnus looked at the back, at the far away Vito, the back seemed to be flashing with the vicissitudes of the years, Magnus raised a hand Touching his blindfolded eyes, he closed his eyes, and in the darkness the illusion he had seen in the past reappeared.

Through the power of the warp, Magnus saw a blurry world, a throne of gold, with psychic bones burning on it, and behind that throne a great blue smoke rose, and shrill laughter was there. The smoke echoed.

Magnus stared at the throne, gradually enveloped in smoke, through a gleaming wall, and the voice in the fog seemed to laugh at something, and the laughter grew longer and longer until the distant end of time .

"No, I have to stop him, stop them."

Time and years flowed through the darkness, as if lying on a stream, and finally Magnus opened his eyes. He was not lying on the water, but on a piece of shattered suspended earth, he recalled. I had just dreamed about the past, or in other words, the past I saw from my broken memories, and the future predicted in front of me now.
