Chapter 1803 The Remnants of the Far Star (Part 1)
"arrive?"
One second he was in the bedroom of the Eternal Loyalty, and the next second Soshyan found himself somewhere else.
Veronica's teleportation technology is different from all existing forms of teleportation in humans. After passing through a door and walking up a staircase made of vines, Soshyan appeared on an extremely distant planet.
When the portal slowly disappeared, beautiful lightning danced around the two people, and finally dissipated into nothingness.
Soshiyang looked up and found that he was standing in a ruins. This was once a magnificent temple, but now it was only quiet and dilapidated. When he raised his head, he could only see the dark dome. According to the faint sound coming from all around,
From the echo, Soshyan guessed that they were in an underground cave, so it was not surprising that the surrounding environment was filled with eerie silence.
"I am Fonseca, the expedition leader assigned by Lord Doral. I have met your Majesty and His Highness."
After the two men appeared, more than a dozen warriors wearing Dark Eldar armor but with Ark Eldar colors and decorations knelt down on one knee. The leader, Soshyan, had even seen him before. He was one of Doral's men before.
Dracula.
Veronica, wearing a pale green dress and silver body armor, holding the Heart of Avalon, raised her hand slightly and said softly:
"Get up."
Although her voice was steady, her cheeks were slightly flushed. It turned out that an hour ago, she couldn't stand Suoshiyang's teasing when she was changing clothes, and she had another quarrel with him.
Afterwards, Soshiyang briefly learned about the situation. This planet is called Yinxia 7. It may seem like nothing more than a worthless, dead world. It hangs alone in the depths of a cold and distant pale star. According to the Mechanicum,
The short exploration concluded that the planet only has the most basic minerals, but because the planet is far away from the star, cold and isolated, it actually has no mining value.
Therefore, it is almost a completely forgotten world. In the chaotic maelstrom area, no one cares about a lonely planet on the distant border.
But such a world is not without visitors.
In the Maelstrom, there is a huge group called Treasure Hunters. Their main job is to dig out ancient cultural relics, technological relics, and even alien creations. For this purpose, they will not only go deep into the bottom of the hive, but also visit those desolate planets.
, and even ventured to explore those hulks floating out of the subspace.
What drives them to do this is naturally the world-famous huge black market of Maelstrom, whose endless demand creates huge profits.
After Fonseca led the team to the Maelstrom, he was at a loss at first. After all, this area is so huge and it is in an active zone of subspace. Finding traces of the Eldar is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But by chance, he found
An Eldar artifact has been discovered on the black market.
The artifact was not recognized as a product of the Eldar at all at first. If Fonseca had not come from Comoros and had seen many artifacts from ancient empires, he would not have recognized it at all.
He immediately realized that it was an artifact from the pre-Imperial era and immediately contacted the seller.
However, he did not purchase the item directly. Instead, he investigated the identity of the seller, a down-and-out antique dealer. Then he kidnapped the unlucky guy and obtained the origin of the item.
The antique dealer's father was once a treasure hunter and belonged to a group. At that time, they launched an excavation activity on a world in the Pale Star. At that time, the leader of the group seemed to have received information that there might be an alien ruin in this world.
After several months of hard work, they seemed to have actually found an alien relic. That was when the antique dealer's father secretly hid an artifact on his body. But before they could count the artifacts they found, the team was attacked——
The antique dealer doesn't know what happened specifically, and his father never told him until his death. In short, most of the people in the group died. His father and a few others survived and abandoned their original profession, and then opened an antique shop.
shop, and passed this ancient cultural relic to his son. Unfortunately, his son was not good at running the business, and the antique shop could hardly survive, so he had to sell this cultural relic in exchange for some funds.
Fonseca determined Yinxia 7 based on the planetary position given by his father in the memory of the antique dealer. However, they searched here for a long time and found nothing except the shrine of Lilith, and they did not encounter any of the same race.
.
In the end, after trying many methods but still ineffective, Fonseca could only ask Veronica for instructions, which was also what Doral gave him.
"There are shrines and cultural relics, indicating that this was at least a colony."
After listening to Fonseca's narration, Veronica expressed her own inference.
"But areas like the Scar of Kane (the Eldar's name for the Great Maelstrom) are not suitable for colonization... If there are really fellow wilderness people here, why can't I sense the world's spirit?"
Soshyan had been silent before, but when he heard this, he suddenly said something.
"Are you sure that it was Ada who killed those treasure hunters?"
Fonseca was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"We can't be sure, Your Highness. After all, all the people involved are dead. We can only judge from the words of the monkey...human antique dealer."
"Then maybe this place is really just a ruins. After all, there are only a few ways for Ada to survive. There are neither soul stones nor the blessing of world spirits here, and they don't have the conditions of the residents of Commorragh...
...It can’t be a bunch of clowns, right?”
"We also have this speculation, but we have found some huge underground passages with traces of manual excavation. We suspect that there may be an independent underground space in this world. If we don't follow the underground passages down to a certain distance, there will be no way.
It was blocked by a huge rock, which may be some kind of psychic mechanism."
"so......"
Soshyan's face, covered by a golden mask, had no expression, and he turned to Veronica.
"you decide."
"Go and have a look."
The two then walked out of the underground shrine under the escort of the Eldar expedition team. This was indeed a huge underground cave as Soshyan thought, or in other words, the shrine sank directly into the ground to create such a cave.
As soon as we came to the ground, we could only see the barren gray land. The sky of the planet showed a misty gray color, indicating that it had only a very thin atmosphere and was not suitable for habitation. The dim stars hung in the sky, and the wind blew intermittently.
The gravel hit Soshyan's shining Eldar armor, making a rustling sound.
After that, Fonseca led the team to a Predator gunboat. With the high speed of the gunboat, it took them more than ten minutes to reach the edge of a mountain range on the planet.
On the gray-brown foothills, Soshyan saw a large hole that had been blown open, and the gunboat flew directly into it.
"This is where the treasure hunters discovered the ruins."
As the lights around the gunboat were lit, Soshyan saw a wide space, which was scattered with some building debris, broken columns, statues of Mohu, and some high platforms with only their bases left.
Suddenly, he discovered that there were some human skeletons among the ruins of the buildings. Most of them were still in the state before death, and each one had their body and head separated.
