After listening to the other party's explanation, Veronica tilted her head.
"Then you brought me here just to explain your innocence and necessity?"
Regardless of whether Veronica had an impact on this female aristocrat, she did not show any outward signs and remained calm and composed, with her eyes half-closed in an arrogant and contemptuous manner.
"If you insist on knowing, then well, Victor's intention was not to capture you. He made a deal with someone. He just wanted to get something that you and that monkey brought from Ullanor.
Something to take...but your lover and the power behind him are not sure that Victor can capture it, so he can only choose to hold you hostage and force the other party to submit."
As she spoke, she took another puff from the cigarette holder.
"On the other hand, your status is not suitable for staying outside all the time. You don't understand many things. I am also protecting you."
Hearing the other party mention Ullanor, Veronica thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I don't remember him getting anything out of there—"
As she spoke, she suddenly stopped.
Because Veronica suddenly remembered that one day Soshiyang suddenly asked her about Bloodhand Kane. At that time, she was wondering why he was interested in the Eldar mythology.
The female noble looked at her face and showed an unpredictable smile.
"It seems you have remembered."
Veronica tilted her head.
"I don't know what he got, but no matter what it is, you will not succeed. He is an Astartes and will not do anything for what humans call an alien."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
The female noble chuckled and put her head to Veronica's ear, sniffing it with her nose.
"I haven't smelled this kind of smell on the same kind of people for many years. Comoros only has lust and has lost love... Now I am more and more curious, what is the charm of that monkey?
Can make a war wizard fall in love."
Not far away, Ifreni sneered, turned her head and whispered.
"nausea."
Veronica took a step back with a disgusted expression, keeping herself away from the other person's breath.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"That's right."
The female noble waved her fan gently and said with a sweet smile:
"But do you think he won't come?"
"Will not."
"But what if he comes?"
"Nothing goes wrong. He has his responsibilities, and I don't put my hope in him. The great prophet will come to me."
"Maybe, after talking for so long, don't you want to know who I am?"
"I'm not interested in you."
"But without me, you would be in Victor's hands."
"Aren't you and him in the same group?"
"This description is not appropriate. There are only interests in Comoros, and my interests and his conflict most of the time... By the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Aurelia Marler
Si, the Archon of the Venomous Tongue Cabal, Eldra must have mentioned me to you."
Hearing this name, Veronica was suddenly shocked. The Great Prophet had indeed introduced her to several of the more "dangerous" consuls in Comoros, including this one.
According to rumors, this Malus was once the wife, or partner, of Asdubar Victor, the Lord of Comoros, but then the two fell out for unknown reasons, and Malus left Comoros with her followers.
a period of time.
When she returned to Comoros, she began to use her wisdom and transcendent predictions to match wits with Victor, and firmly occupied the top five consuls of Comoros.
The most famous incident was undoubtedly the city-wide street fight between she and Viktor in Commorragh, which almost led to the destruction of Commorragh, the last Eldar stronghold, and the cause was a sealed warp gate:
Neither of them wanted to open it, but they both thought the other wanted to open it.
Looking at the powerful Archon, Veronica calmed down and began to think.
"Then, what is your benefit from taking me away from the Lord of Commorragh?"
Malus smiled, put a hand on Veronica's shoulder, walked around her, and then whispered:
"Veronica, have you heard of the Eternal Queen?"
Of course Veronica has heard of it. This is a remnant of the matrilineal system in the early history of the Eldar. At that time, the ruler of the Eldar was a woman, who was called the Eternal Queen, and her husband was called the Phoenix King to assist her.
The wife ruled the empire and served as the supreme commander during the war. However, with the rise of Kane's faith and the indulgence sect, the power of the Ancient Eldar Empire gradually transferred to the hands of the Blood Archons. The Eternal Queen system also gradually declined, and in
It ceased to exist on the eve of the Great Fall.
"I heard it, what happened?"
"The most important reason why our race has declined and retreated is that we are in disarray. But if we are reunited under one flag, then we still have a chance to defeat the enemy and regain our homeland."
"it's out of the question."
Veronica shook her head.
"The Eternal Queen is not inherited by blood. Each generation of Eternal Queen is selected from the daughters of Isha. However, the Temple of Isha has been completely destroyed, and this system can never be restored."
"That's not necessarily true. Eldra doesn't want to say it, so I'll say it for him. Veronica, you are the only remaining daughter of Isa."
Veronica looked at each other, shocked at first, but soon turned calm.
"So what? What if there is one more daughter of Isa? The long time has given each ethnic group its own way of survival. Although it is difficult, it is free enough. How can everyone end up just because of an eternal queen who exists in name only?
And come back together.”
"You are smarter than I thought, Veronica. I am more and more happy with my decision. This will be a worthwhile gamble."
"I will not be your puppet, nor will I be your chess piece."
"You misunderstood. I never wanted to control you. I just hope you can understand that your compatriots have been tortured by the enemy for countless years, but you have the ability to change everything. Comoros, a twisted place, gives
It has given us a lot and taken away a lot from us. I don’t deny that I like it, but I also know clearly that it will never be eternal, just like our former empire. If Comoros continues like this, it will eventually
There will be a day when it will be broken..."
As she spoke, she held Veronica's shoulders and spoke in an unprecedented sincerity tone.
"Daughter of Isha, you can save it, you can save all the sons of Commorragh. In the embrace of the goddess Isha, we are willing to give up the way of torture and hunger, and our race will get back on track. Isn't that good?
?”
For a moment, Veronica was almost moved by the other party.
But the mocking expression of Ifreni in the distance made her wake up instantly.
She recalled what the Great Prophet said: Not a single punctuation in the words of these archons can be trusted. They are the embodiment of all selfishness and self-interest, and everything they do must be for themselves.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it. If you are really so eager to revive our race, you can have a good talk with my teacher. He will definitely have an excellent plan."
The sincerity on Malus's face disappeared, and the mask of disguise slipped away, revealing arrogance and cunning.
"It seems that it will take some time for us to understand each other, so I won't disturb you. You can move around freely in this garden. If you want to take a good look at the scenery of Comoros, there is a viewing tower outside the garden, where you can
You can also go in."
With that said, the Archon turned around gracefully and stepped onto the suspended high platform again.
"Efrenie, during this time, you should be responsible for protecting and accompanying Veronica."
Efreni didn't say anything, just snorted softly.
Veronica also turned around and returned to the house. After closing the door, she gently lay on the bed, holding the sheets tightly with her hands.
