558, The legacy of the King of Ghouls, the Crow King!
Empty glass.
According to think tank director Kahuranji.
It was an ancient artifact that the Crow King Corax gave to the Forsaken to guard before he exiled the Shark Chapter.
Unfortunately, the Primarch did not disclose the specific function of the ancient artifact, but only left a warning that it can be used in the most desperate times.
However, more than a thousand years ago, the Shark Chapter lost this ancient artifact.
And the priest brother who was responsible for keeping the artifact became the only atonement person who wanted to find the artifact.
Perhaps the Astartes of the Shark Chapter were also angry and filial.
But today, thousands of years later, they seem to have given up any hope of recovering the ancient artifact.
"Although I can understand that the situation of the Shark Chapter was indeed difficult in the past, and when the Crow King asked you to keep the ancient artifact, it was also a big problem that was difficult to understand if you didn't explain it clearly..."
"But you actually plan to get across the lake like this. This is simply beyond my imagination."
On the metal throne of the ancient palace.
Rorschach, with a stern expression, first glanced at Chapter Leader Tiberus who remained silent.
Then he turned his cold gaze towards a group of the oldest man-eating shark Astartes.
"I wouldn't even know about it if the Pale Nomad hadn't accidentally told me about it!"
"It doesn't really matter if you have or lose an ancient artifact! But I don't like the attitude of your Devouring Shark Chapter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xia suddenly raised a vibranium palm and clenched it into a fist.
He slammed his fist hard on the handle of the metal throne, making a loud roar of metal collision!
Dongdongdong——
The next moment, all Astartes including Chapter Master Tiberus.
They knelt down on one knee in the direction of the metal throne without hesitation and slowly lowered their heads.
"Please calm down, Lord Primarch——"
"Dear Primarch, the Shark Chapter in the past was really unable to deal with this matter. The Tyranids that invaded the Ghoul Star Territory countless times, or more mysterious aliens, also distracted us too much energy.
…”
At this moment, the head of the think tank, the pale nomad, first raised his lowered head.
He stared at Rorschach on the metal throne with a pair of dark eyes and said loudly:
"Lord Primarch, now may be an important opportunity for our man-eating sharks to completely recover the ancient artifact. With the emergence of the Great Rift and the more frequent invasions of the Tyranids, there is no worse war situation than now."
"Although we don't know what the ancient artifact Kongji Liuli represents, if it is useful, we can not only use it to deal with the Tyranids, but can even help the empire deal with more battlefields!"
The words just fell.
Rorschach, who squinted his eyes, looked at each other very covertly with the head of the think tank.
"Let the brother priest come in. I think we need more intelligence information to understand the whole story."
The next second, Rorschach took a deep breath and leaned the vibranium power armor behind the metal throne.
He immediately waved to the people below and said.
Wait until all the Astartes get up from the ground one after another.
A priest brother wearing old power armor led his hunting team into the ancient temple.
"Chaplain of the Shark Chapter, Tangata Manu, the sinner who lost the ancient artifact, meets with the Primarch!"
The Astartes priest named Manu knelt down without hesitation.
The Astartes who followed him did not hesitate to show their loyalty to Rorschach.
"Okay, everyone, get up and let's talk business first."
Rorschach raised his eyebrows slightly.
He raised his hand and asked those in front of him to stand up immediately.
"I heard that you have been searching for the ancient artifact 'Kongji Liuli' for more than a thousand years?"
"I tell you, Lord Primarch, that it is one thousand four hundred and fifty-three years."
Pastor Manu raised his head slightly, looked at Rorschach with a pair of dark eyes and replied.
"So in these one thousand, four hundred and fifty-three years, have you found any trace of Kongji Liuli?"
Rorschach continued to ask with a serious expression.
"I'll tell you, Lord Prime Minister, only once, and that's before we return."
Pastor Manu nodded without any hesitation.
"Oh? Then why didn't you recover the ancient artifact? Or was it that the enemies you faced at that time were difficult to deal with?"
Rorschach stared at the priest brothers below and asked casually.
Pastor Manu was silent for a moment, but still said without any concealment:
"To be precise, by the time we found traces of the artifact, it was still a little late. The ancient artifact had already been stolen by a dark Eldar conspiracy called the Pierced Rose."
"The Cabal? The Dark Eldar?"
After hearing about the familiar alien race.
Rorschach, whose expression gradually became serious, slowly straightened his back.
He once again asked Pastor Manu:
"Why would the Dark Eldar search for the ancient artifact belonging to the Crow King?"
"Lord Primarch, those pointed ears don't know what it is, they just think it may be a precious treasure that can win the favor of the Cabal Archon... We still have a chance to recover this ancient artifact, but we need you
Or the strong support of the Shark Chapter."
Pastor Manu took a deep breath.
He slowly bowed to Rorschach on the metal throne.
"Tiberus, what do you think about this?"
At this moment, Rorschach turned his eyes and looked at Tiberus, who had remained silent.
"Lord Primarch, I think that is just an illusory ancient artifact. Although it is extremely precious, it is not worthy of the Man-Eating Shark Chapter using more resources and combat power. Let me believe that a failure of 1,450
If a sinner who has been a sinner for thirteen years can succeed, I would rather give him the final judgment cleanly!"
Tiberus slowly raised his two lightning-powered claws and stared at the tall back of the priest Manu.
He said in the direction of Rorschach in a low tone.
"Pastor Tangata Manu, is there anything else you want to say?"
Rorschach, who did not express any intention, turned his attention to the priest brother again.
He asked the other party in a calm tone.
"Dear Primarch, Chapter Leader and all void brothers, I am indeed a sinner who unfortunately lost an ancient artifact and cannot be forgiven, but this time, I am willing to use my life as a guarantee!"
"I know which Dark Eldar stole the Kongji Liuli, and I also know which conspiracy the other party belongs to. There is even only one last clue left to follow. I beg the Primarch and the Chapter Master to allow me to continue hunting!
"
"If this mission ultimately fails, I am willing to accept the execution immediately, but if it succeeds, we can regain the Kongji Liuli and even use it to avenge more enemies of the Emperor!"
