Seeing Soshyan's wandering eyes, Veronica tugged on his ears angrily.
"What are you thinking! If you were secretive, I would definitely be angry, but since you chose to tell me openly, then I will naturally trust you wholeheartedly. And do you really think that I would worry about my husband being abducted by a human nun?
Leave me? We have been together for so many years, and we still have this sense of trust."
Soshyan was quite moved and hugged the beauty in his arms tighter.
"I know all this."
"Well, but-"
Veronica suddenly changed the subject and put her face in front of Soshyan.
"Only one thing, no! Go to bed with her!"
"Um, do I look like a womanizer?"
"It was hard to tell before, but now it's not under my nose...Anyway, everything you have is mine! You can't give it to anyone else!"
When Veronica said this, Soshyan immediately heard another subtext.
"Are you planning to stay here for a while?"
Veronica nodded.
"There are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with here. In addition, after Mr. Doral comes, there will have to be someone to coordinate them with these remnants, so I may have to stay here for a while. You also have so much military information to deal with, and it cannot be long-term.
Not on duty."
As she said that, she pinched Soshyan's cheek again.
"Don't act recklessly just because I'm not around! I'll be back every now and then! You have to do what you deserve!"
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"Humph, then you can go back in a while. If you want to come here, just use the leaf I gave you and stick it on the mirror in the bedroom. The portal of Lilith's shrine is quite stable. Even if I didn't operate it myself, it shouldn't be there.
what is the problem."
"It's really convenient... Since there is such a shrine, didn't the Spiritual people in the past run around at will?"
"There is a distance limit, and not all shrines will work. It must be a shrine with a moonstone. And the moonstone altar cannot be destroyed. There are probably no two digits in the entire galaxy."
"Moonstone?"
"This is a spiritual stone with strange spatial properties. It is a god-given object as famous as the soul stone in the ancient empire. It is said that only the priests of Lilith can come to it through long-term prayers. It is impossible to make it again now.
"
"I see, can we move it away?"
"Okay, I just plan to move back to the royal court after the war is over."
"It sounds like the shrines in the ancient Ada Empire each had their own unique functions."
"That's right, the Pantheon is not a purely religious institution like the human state religion. It is actually responsible for the operation of the entire society. Not to mention the Vaal Shrine, even the shipyard of the ancient empire is a super large Vaal Shrine.
The Isha Shrine is the main marriage and fertility institution, the Crone Shrine is a place for divination and ultra-long-distance communication, and only the Asuryan Shrine is a relatively simple place of faith... So when the Pantheon declined, the ancient empire
Our society is actually in a state of semi-paralysis.”
"So there are disadvantages in relying solely on gods."
"Ha, doesn't the human empire also rely on a god to maintain the lifeline of the Star Torch?"
"Why are you bringing back the empire again..."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered something.
"Then if you are not here, who will give those tasks to?"
Veronica is not an idler in the expeditionary force. In fact, her position is quite important. She handles many trivial matters, including communication with the Hongshang family.
"There is nothing going on at the Merchant side for the time being. Someone is responsible for the war group's affairs. As for the chores of the expeditionary force, you might as well leave it to Velez for the time being. This will give you a reason to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, you can temporarily keep her and the nuns together.
Separate other people in the meeting to avoid the possibility that the partition wall has ears and can observe whether she is being manipulated. Although this probability is very low, it is not absolute."
"She is a nun, she doesn't know those things..."
"After all, you are in charge of a monastery. Don't underestimate people."
"That's right, so be it."
After saying that, Soshyan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Veronica what he saw when he came to the fortress.
"Veronica, I... saw Asuryan's memory again."
After hearing this, Veronica did not look surprised. Instead, she rested her head on Soshyan's shoulder and reached out her hand to gently stroke his cheek.
"My love, don't be afraid, no matter what you become, I will always be by your side..."
Soshyan pursed his lips and whispered:
"What if one day I am no longer who I am now."
Veronica smiled.
"Then I'll change you back."
Then she pinched Soshyan's nose gently.
"You idiot, don't be so pessimistic. After this expedition is over, we may make new discoveries after carefully investigating the matter of Gray Marrow and the Primarch. In addition, I have actually secretly arranged for Mr. Doral to secretly collect some lost ancient books.
, especially the records of various shrines about the father god Asuryan, and also asked him to arrange people to secretly investigate where the ancient temple where Asurman was blessed by Asuryan was. Maybe there will be new information about these.
Harvest... Soshiyang, we husband and wife will never be pawns of the gods or puppets of some behind-the-scenes forces. If those forces or some people really want to do this, we must resist, and you must
Resist!"
Soshyan was just silent. Talos also said something similar. He knew those people Veronica and Talos were referring to, not only Thor, the organization represented by Sevita, and even the Thunderstone Church.
The one in.
However, as an Astartes, he should unconditionally devote himself to humanity, even if the cost of all this is that he becomes a pawn.
Suddenly, a chill came from the bottom of Soshiyang's heart——
Horus also used the pretext of rebellion to launch a rebellion.
Could he become a traitor?
A traitor like Horus who has been despised by everyone for tens of thousands of years...
The words loyalty and destiny were like two big mountains pressing on his shoulders, making him a little breathless.
In the end, it all just turned into a sigh.
"Well, if I weren't a Space Marine, maybe this wouldn't be so complicated... Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Madam, your arrangements are very good. It seems that you can handle Wang Tingli even without me.
thing."
"You said that again, but when it comes to becoming a Space Marine, you told me before that you seemed to have been very eager to become a Space Marine since you were a child, almost stubborn... I thought about this matter.
It's a bit strange. How could a child from a middle-class family in the hive city know this? Since your parents don't approve of you becoming a Space Marine, it stands to reason that they wouldn't have taught you so much about Space Marines when you were a child. So this is what happened.
A contradiction——"
Veronica looked at Soshyan very seriously and said in an unusually serious tone:
"Why would you want to be a Space Marine?"
"This... I basically can't remember what happened at that time, and I can't answer it, but a boy can sometimes be obsessed with certain things."
