"...This is why the Astartes can only be used as weapons and cannot lead the empire. They have been indoctrinated with too many irrational things."
When Arcturus spoke, there was a unique rhythm, as if he were an elegant poet. Although it was in Gothic, it was a little less stiff. Scarman guessed that this might be him imitating the great prophet when he spoke Gothic.
Gothic tone.
This undisguised mockery of the Astartes caused the other two to chuckle, and Scamman said instead:
"However, the Soshiyang Chapter Commander... is actually a quite enlightened and wise person. He also saw the problems immediately, but it is difficult for him to convince others alone."
Arcturus looked at him and nodded slowly.
"I heard that during the Maelstrom Expedition, he hired short-handed mercenaries. From the rumors about him, it can be seen that he is a man with long sleeves and good dancing. In the future, he may be a very important part of the plan.
ring."
Plan, the two words Arcturus said most often, Scamman always felt that he imitated Ada too much, but it was undeniable that the other person was indeed very capable.
At this time, a person next to Scarman spoke, with an elegant and crisp female voice, but her entire face was covered by a silver mask, and lines like snake scales could still be vaguely seen.
"Speaking of which, I have some clues about investigating the Phoenix King, but I'm not very sure."
Scarman turned to look at him.
"Jona, have you contacted...friends over there in Comoros?"
"I naturally have my own intelligence path."
Scarman sighed.
"I just hope not to anger the other party because of this. The star disaster prophet warned me not to investigate the Phoenix King's identity, but after telling you, it only made you more interested."
However, the judge named Qiao Na made a sound like a silver bell, shook her body back and forth twice, and then said:
"Scarman, you are good at hunting and fighting, but your emotional intelligence is too low. What the other party said is actually implying that there is something wrong with your identity as the Phoenix King."
"this--"
Arcturus also nodded.
"I agree with what Joanna said. Ada must have something to say when she speaks. If it was a warning, she would have chosen a more subtle statement. By saying this, he made it clear that the identity of the Phoenix King is extraordinary. Joanna, did you ask?
What?"
Regarding the identity of the mysterious Phoenix King, the information obtained by the secret society points to the fact that he is most likely not Ada, and may even be a human. However, because most of the information comes from Commorragh, and people there rarely tell the truth, everyone just
Stand tall in the guessing stage.
After all, this is too unbelievable. With Ada’s arrogance, it is absolutely impossible to think of a human being as her master!
Unless that person is as powerful and charming as the Emperor, this is the only possibility they discussed in private.
But this possibility is even lower than the probability of a human being becoming the Phoenix King.
So from this perspective, this statement is undoubtedly a rumor, a rumor without any evidence or logic to support it.
But it is there after all, and everyone cannot ignore it. In addition, the star disaster prophet in the royal court seems to have a taboo attitude, which makes it difficult for people not to think about it - and one of the characteristics of the judges is curiosity.
Strong, the more forbidden, the more taboo, the more you can’t help but check it out.
What if something is really found out?
Of course, they had actually noticed the newly rising Eldar regime of the Eternal Court very early. Arcturus even went to his old friend, the pirate Ursiel, to obtain parts of the Eternal Court from him.
Information, but because this pirate is basically only active in the edge of the Hazy Star Territory, he is also relatively withdrawn and does not interact with similar people, so the information obtained is also very limited. He roughly knows who the ruler of the Eternal Royal Court is and what its structure is.
and some unreliable rumors.
For example, the spouse of the Eternal Queen seems to have a somewhat special status.
"There are rumors in Commorragh... that the Phoenix King is an Astartes."
"What!?"
The three men made surprised sounds at the same time, and then Scarman shook his head.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I would rather believe it...it is a green-skinned one."
Arcturus didn't say anything, he just rubbed his chin gently with his hand, seeming to be thinking. Another person also said:
"This doesn't make sense logically... Even if the Astartes are willing, how could the Eternal Queen be interested in him?"
"Kunsa, you are not the eternal queen, how do you know other people's aesthetics?"
"Uh... I think as long as Ada is normal, she should..."
"This is just a guess, I'm not saying it must be."
At this time, Arcturus also lowered his hand.
"What Qiaona said was only the information she got, but since we have this statement, we need to screen it... There are few absolutes in the galaxy."
That Qiao Na also continued:
"Furthermore, haven't you noticed that it seems that whenever the Eternal Court appears in public... there are Astartes."
When she said this, Scarman frowned and nodded slightly after a while.
"That seems to be the case...but this cannot be used as direct evidence."
"We'll just investigate slowly later, but if, I mean if, that Phoenix King is really an Astartes, what should we do?"
"hiss--"
Scarman took a breath, and finally just shook his head and said:
"I really can't imagine this... If it's true, then the Milky Way is really crazy."
Arcturus chuckled.
"This is a good thing."
Scarman looked at him.
"How to say?"
"Well, first of all, if the Phoenix King is really an Astartes, does that mean that the union between humans and the Eldar has actually been realized?"
"Uh...that's right?"
"Then, being able to be favored by the queen, become the Phoenix King, and even be recognized and obeyed by other spiritual races proves that his strength and wisdom must be extraordinary, even unprecedented."
"This is true."
"In the end, the Royal Court has repeatedly assisted the empire and has not had any large-scale conflicts with the empire. This proves that the Phoenix King values the relationship between the two races very much and is by no means the kind of traitor who completely throws himself into the arms of a foreign race both physically and mentally."
"Well..."
After saying this, a fanatical light appeared in Arcturus's eyes.
"Isn't this a good thing? No! It's not just a good thing, my friend, don't you realize it? If it really happens, it means... someone close to the emperor has appeared! It's even possible that he
He is the incarnation of the Emperor!"
These words were too shocking. Scarman blinked and then said hesitantly:
"Ah? You mean...the emperor chose to go with an Eldar Queen...This is too exaggerated, even more outrageous than those unreliable novels."
