"Reliable is not a technical word, man, so we have to verify it, but we also have to be prepared for it to actually happen."
Even though he had become an expatriate at an early age, Scarman was still horrified by this absurd possibility.
"Old friend, you are not really imagining an... empire where humans and Eldar unite, are you?"
"We have no reason to distrust our plans. They are planned by devout servants of the Emperor for the glory of the Empire, and we must not doubt ourselves, especially in such testing times."
Arcturus replied, with a defensive tone in his voice. Then he stood up from his chair, strode to the large screen that occupied the main position in the cabin, and then opened the star map.
Millions of stars twinkled in his bright eyes, filling his consciousness with vastness and cold nothingness. Then he triggered the zoom mechanism with his hand, scrolling the designated quadrant to a closer focus, focusing on a part of the Milky Way.
On the scar, a layer of crimson mist is vaguely visible around the small ring-shaped constellation. The red on the screen has been deliberately lightened and weakened, but the mist is real, a deep red that is almost incompatible with the surrounding darkness.
space to distinguish.
The fanatical Foreign-seeking Inquisitor nodded slowly as he stared at the dizzying vortex of twisted energy that defined the Eye of Terror on the screen.
"Dramatic changes are coming soon. Even a huge empire is no stronger than a branch in such a storm. If you can't find enough strength internally, you must borrow strength from the outside...otherwise
, the empire is in danger.”
Arcturus is very keenly aware that this regime, which claims to be the continuation of the Ancient Eldar Empire, will cause shocks to the entire galaxy in the future. If it really gets bigger and even reunifies the fragmented Eldar society, then humanity will
We have to re-examine the situation of the galaxy. In this case, it seems that the concept of advocating foreign factions is possible to be realized. The most unique thing about Arcturus compared to other expatriate inquisitors is his vision.
, he knew very well that in order for the empire to sit on the negotiating table, it was not enough to rely on ideas. The core thing was strength.
"Maybe."
When Scarman turned back to look at the screen, his expression became a little complicated. Arcturus had been explaining the threat from the Eye of Terror, but the Eye of Terror was also an area that the Empire was strictly guarding, with a powerful fleet, and
The indestructible Cadian has countless elite soldiers and generals, how could something happen?
"But I'm not sure we can trust them. I'm not even sure if they will... trust us. After so many years, we are actually no different from most inquisitors. We just have different ideas. We have not changed the Eldar race.
The Eldar have not changed their views on the Empire. Distrust still runs through both races. We are weak and weak. Are all our efforts really useful?"
"Old friend, don't doubt yourself, our souls are pure."
"I hope you are right, old friend, I hope you are right so much."
At this time, the transport plane began to bump, which meant that they were about to enter the world.
This is a location chosen by the other party, a world that is not in the Empire Mark, and may have been ignored because of its low value.
Soon, accompanied by a slight trembling, the voice of the pilot's servitor came.
"Landing in progress."
Ten seconds later, the cabin shook violently, and all four judges stood up.
After a moment, the hatch slowly opened, illuminating their bodies that had been covered in darkness for too long. Arcturus was the first to walk out, followed closely by Scarman.
Soon, they discovered that they were on the flat top of a mountain peak, with a huge arch standing there. It was obvious that this was a world belonging to Ada. Standing on the edge of the cliff, they could overlook a large area of unique landforms, with clumps of dwarf trees.
There were rounded hills like blisters growing on the ground, as well as deep caves and sudden cracks in the ground, all covered with diseased forest and separated by large expanses of bare rocks and shrubs.
The mountains are scattered on both sides of the mountain, forming a shallow and stretching valley. Although the air is a bit hot at this time, after all, this galaxy is a binary star system with two suns hanging in the sky, but overall it is quite suitable.
I can see that this planet is very beautiful
Looking east, the valley leads to a plain. The landform slopes downward and extends to the vast grassland. Thick stone pillar-like structures stand out from the plain, like some kind of ruins or wrecks. The sun shines through the clouds on the plain.
Above, it emits a dazzling white light. To the south, you can see the sparkling sea, with a long coastline dotted with shallow sea woods and beaches.
The judge named Kunsa suddenly squatted down, knocked on the ground, then raised his head and said:
"This was once an Eldar world... but it was long abandoned."
Others also noticed that although it looked like a naturally formed stone ground under their feet, it was actually paved with a large number of fragments of stone slabs. Looking carefully at the moss-covered boulders and stones around them, they were actually made of lifelike
Statues are piled up.
And that arch also looked weathered.
Just as everyone was looking around, a calm voice sounded.
"Welcome everyone, to the Ninggu Tar Star."
The words were not transmitted by sound, but flowed directly into his mind, soft and unfathomable.
Then, the arch began to glow, and eventually a water mirror appeared. A prophet wearing a helmet, silver robe, and holding a long staff strode out in a very elegant manner. Behind him were several people wearing golden feather cloaks.
Ada warrior.
After standing still, he looked at Scarman.
"I'm very pleased to see you again after a long absence, Mr. Scarman."
"Nice to see you again, Star Catastrophe Prophet."
This was the first real meeting with the other party. For some reason, Scarman was extremely flustered when speaking, feeling like an excited child.
Starscourge then looked at Arcturus.
"Hail, Inquisitor Arcturus."
Arcturus shook his robe slightly, revealing the old-looking armor, a few rune stones on his waist, and a spirit bone dagger, then he touched his chest and bowed, and answered very humbly:
"You make me feel honored...because of your arrival, Lord Edoras Starscourge. I have heard about your name and deeds. I really regret meeting you so late."
Star Calamity chuckled and took off his helmet, revealing a smiling face.
"I hope it's not a bad reputation."
Arcturus couldn't help but smile, because he felt that the other party's actions of taking off his helmet to reveal his true face and his humorous language were all bringing the relationship closer, which was a good start.
