Tzeentch Archdemon Kriyas has been captured by the Chaos Demigod Vashtor, but the Márquez Planetary Sector is still shrouded in a subspace storm. This is a very strange thing, and it is likely to cause panic among the people in the star, and even the Space Marines will be suspicious because of it - this means that everything Fu Qinghai has done before has been useless.

However, after Fu Qinghai moved the emperor out, all these doubts and panic dissipated. Aoyama Khan actually met the emperor? The emperor also conveyed his will to him? What a privilege and what a responsibility? The vast majority of the citizens of the Empire, including Space Marines, have never set foot in the Imperial Palace in their lifetimes, let alone entered the Imperial Sanctuary to meet the Lord of Humanity on the Golden Throne.

But for the specifics of the meeting with the emperor.

Aoyama Khan kept his mouth shut, as if he didn't want to say more.

Still, this answer was enough to restore confidence. After the meeting, the senior officers of the regiment returned to their respective stations as before, continuing the previous arrangement. As for the future of the Iron Floating Slaughter Band, Aoyama Khan seems to have a rough plan in his mind, and this plan is based on some kind of agreement between him and the emperor, and no one knows about it.

……

Schwerin Nest Capital World, Great Library.

This ancient relic building in the steel forest of the nest capital has the main structure of the hive suspended in the air, like a nodule growing on the main nest. After all these years, it is still like a pitch-black tree dotted among the towering buildings.

This is a well-known birthplace of evil. The Zedu family, the nobles of the upper nest, who were originally in charge of guarding the Great Library, fell into chaos because of reading some secret books in the Great Library, and collectively transformed into Tzeentch believers. And during the subspace storm that enveloped the nest of Schwerin, the Tzeentch Demon Army also chose to break through the curtain from this building and descend into reality.

In the past, Fu Qinghai could have chosen to demolish the Great Library, but he didn't want to destroy those secret books. According to rumors in the nest capital, many of the books in the Great Library are the only ones left over from the old night and even the dark technology era. However, he did not dare to explore the ancient building at will, and finally chose to mothball it and wait for the conditions to be ripe in the future.

Today, the conditions are met, and Fu Qinghai is finally going to do something about the big library. He strode over the wide steel bridge leading to the Great Library, followed by five Silent Nuns. Dressed in the armor of the oath and wielding the great sword of execution, their steps were light and firm, yet sonorous. Dealing with this kind of suspected contamination with subspace, Sister Silence is familiar with it.

Fu Qinghai came to the towering iron gate.

He looked up at the intricate reliefs on the iron door, the entwined chains and the staggered seals, and raised his right foot and kicked it hard. With a loud bang, the iron ring shattered and the seal was torn, and the door of the large library was kicked open, and the space of the black hole was presented in front of everyone, and this ancient building that had been sealed for several years welcomed visitors again.

Surrounded by five silent nuns, Fu Qinghai walked into the dark and dark library. The eyes of the Silent Nuns were wary and piercing as they slowly spread out in formation, swords in hand as they cut through rows of bookshelves and towering corridors. Dusted books were displayed on the shelves, and whispers seemed to echo in the quiet, dark space.

As the Silent Sisters walked past the bookshelves.

The whispers that lingered in my ears suddenly disappeared.

No, not gone, those whispers suddenly turned into terrible screams, so heartbreaking, not at all like the sounds that human vocal cords can make. With a wail, wisps of black smoke rose from the cracks of some books, and some books began to twist and squirm even the covers, crumpled into a human face that ripped open its mouth and roared silently.

The Sisters of Silence are purifying the Great Library.

The six of them swept back and forth along the corridor a few times, and the evil malice hidden in the books had all been wiped out with the unfolding of the soulless force field. Sister Catherine turned around and looked up at Fu Qinghai and began to gesture in sign language.

"Some Tzeentch demons have been banished."

Fei Yi translated for her teacher and said:

"The building is clean now, Khan."

"Very well, thank you guys."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said.

The four silent nuns didn't say anything more, they silently retreated to a few corners around the big library, standing with their swords in their hands, only Fei Yi was still following Fu Qinghai's ass. Fu Qinghai turned around and walked to the bookshelves that he had passed by, and with the memory in his mind, he took out all the books that had emitted black smoke one by one, and then opened them one by one.

The first book, The Finale of Torture.

The cover is slightly old, the edges are badly worn, and it looks like a mediocre book. Fu Qinghai casually opened the title page, and in the middle was a line of small black characters scribbled on Juanxiu:

"With this book, I would like to commemorate the great victory against the covenant of Colchis, and the faith of the God-Emperor lives on forever."

Let's take a look at the following line of inscription:

"Great Speaker, Aurelian Loga."

"Hiss......"

Fu Qinghai gasped.

The Great Library of the Dark Path is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The first book turned out to be written by Luo Jia.

Fu Qinghai knew what the "Covenant of Korchis" meant, and the planet that Luo Jia descended on was called "Korchis", a feudal, ignorant, barbaric and backward world. There is a local cult called "The Covenant", and they believe in worshipping the so-called "Old Gods" (in fact, the Four Gods of Chaos). Loga showed his missionary talent at a young age, but instead of believing in the Old Gods, he insisted that "the God-Emperor would come to save Colchis", and the Covenant cult wanted to kill him, so the Gene Primeur led the Covenant cult who had converted to him to rebel and eventually win.

This was the rebellion against the covenant of Colchis.

Colches is the home planet of the Legion of the Bearers.

Fu Qinghai speculated that the book should be a manuscript, because if it was really written by Luo Jia himself, then he would not have added a "great speaker" in front of it, which seemed a bit too narcissistic - just like Robert Kirriman never claimed to be the "Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds". "The Great Speaker" is supposed to be the honorific title given to Luo Jia by later scribes. Loga and Magnus are both scholar-type genetic prototypes, and the two can be said to be equal to each other. This "Torture Finale" is likely to be a prequel to "The Book of Loga", and it can be given to Tristan, the head of the hermitage, to study.

Fu Qinghai put the book away.

Then, the second and third books.

Kronochet's Anatomy.

Vivisection Anthology.

Just looking at the title of the book, you would mistakenly think that these are two books that study alien creatures, but after a cursory study, Fu Qinghai found that these two books definitely belong to the category of the Dark Mechanic God Cult, and the anatomical objects studied in the books are ...... It's a demon!

Kronochet's Anatomy is a demonic illustrated book detailing the physical and immaterial characteristics of subspace demons. The Vivisection Anthology is a technical manual taken from the records of evil research and experiments collected by a cult of dark automata known as the Demon Heart.

Compared with the obscure theological proverbs and hymns in "The Finale of Torture", the author of these two books is a black oil guy, Fu Qinghai has no obstacle to read, and he quickly turned the page and quickly browsed the general content of the book, and had a preliminary understanding of the two heretical classics.

The Demon's Heart, a cult of dark mechanics, creatively uses psionic sorcery combined with a special Geller stance to vivisect Chaos Demons. The technique of summoning demonic possession of flesh has been perfected, which is commonly known as "demonic possession". The technique of binding demons to machinery has been improved, also known as the "Demon Engine". The technique of combining demons on weapons has been simplified, making it possible to create demonic weapons in batches.

The above three attempts to use demonic techniques, whether it is demonic possession, demonic engine, or demonic weapon, are not uncommon in the Warhammer 40K universe. However, the special thing about the "Demon Heart" sect is that in the past, these demonic knowledge was almost exclusively monopolized by Chaos Wizards, who studied these things from a subjective and idealistic perspective. The works of the black oilman are full of experimental thinking of dialectical analysis and inductive deduction.

Fu Qinghai is very comfortable to read.

"It's kind of interesting."

Fu Qinghai touched the stubble on his chin.

The Goblin Warframe is a typical demonic weapon. If the process of Zhang Yuning's creation of the ghost armor is called a "ritual" or "ritual", then this process in the Black Oil Guy's book should be called a "program", a batch of efficient enchantment procedures, far more efficient than any enchantment ritual. Through dissection, they gained insight into the profound knowledge of the union of spirit and flesh, and through continuous experimentation, the craft was gradually perfected.

"Good books, good books."

Fu Qinghai put away the two books.

Then look at the last tome.

This is a heavy tome, larger than the previous books combined, with a black leather cover made of multiple layers of human skin tanning, and several large recessed gilded characters painted on it:

The Great Book of Witchcraft.

Fu Qinghai's eyes narrowed slightly.

The name sounds awesome.

……

"What? "The Book of Witchcraft"? ”

Danjur took the book in the hand of the war commander and exclaimed.

"Do you know this book?"

Fu Qinghai immediately asked.

"I've heard its name."

Danjur said as he flipped through it:

"The original book is believed to have been written in the Old Night, and that original book is probably missing. However, for thousands of years, manuscripts of this book have been preserved in many feudal worlds where sacrificial culture prevailed. ”

The Golden Age refers to the era when humans made gold men, stone men, and iron men and gradually conquered the galaxy, but it was officially called the "Age of Dark Technology" by the Human Empire. The Old Night Age refers to the era when the human regime collapsed due to some unknown reason in the Golden Age, the human colonies in the galaxy lost contact with each other, and the earth fell into a melee of technological barbarian warlords.

According to Tengjur, a copy of this ancient book of magic contains historical accounts of humanity and many alien races, and its content is completely contrary to the claims of the truth of the Empire. During the Great Expedition, the preachers of the Order of Clarification had searched and burned the book in a thousand worlds. I didn't expect that there was a copy quietly hidden in the big library.

"Clarification of the Order? What is that? ”

Lin Yu asked with a blank expression.

"Another institution of Makado the Palm Seal."

Joshida snorted and said lightly.

But all Space Marine veterans who have participated in the Great Expedition, such as Jostar, Karamanda, and Satterfaran, have heard of the Order of Clarification. Lin Yu, the recruits who were promoted to become Space Marines after the rebellion ended, didn't know the name. Fu Qinghai knew that the Clarification Order was because he had read the original book, and Tengjur knew because of Amon's memory.

During the Great Expedition, each expeditionary fleet will have two special mortal posts: narrator and preacher. The former is responsible for documenting the expedition using various forms of art, and celebrating the justice and legitimacy of the human empire's reconquest of the former colonies. The latter is responsible for preaching the truth of the Empire to the Space Marines of the expeditionary fleet and to the people of the former colonies.

The hero of the trilogy of "Horus Revolt" has two close mortal friends: Euphradi Chiler, a narrator who later became the first living saint of the Empire. Kyriel Hindman was one such preacher and one of the founders of the Inquisition.

The preacher belongs to the Clarification Order.

Their job is not only to give lectures, but also to have a secret mission: to collect and find the superstitious books and magical texts left over from the old night era, and then destroy them all by all means - in connection with the emperor's plan to starve the Chaos gods by exterminating all religious beliefs. Among those who have been destroyed is the Witchcraft Book, which was once widely circulated.

"This sinister work is full of the spells and processes needed to bring the horrors of the depths of the subspace to life. During the Great Rebellion, some of the desperate and unscrupulous Space Marines of the Legion of Traitors acquired a copy of the book, even though they themselves knew it was an evil thing that humanity had better forget. ”

Tengjur goes on to explain:

That's what Amon says about the book.

"Oh, the Thousand Sons have read this book too?"

Fu Qinghai asked curiously.

"Yes."

Danjur nodded and said:

"The Legion of the Thousand Sons will not spare any magic books. Amon commented that the magic in the "Witchcraft Canon" is large but messy, and has not been systematically organized, and in addition to magic rituals, there are many psionic events and historical materials. Amun considered the Book of Witchcraft to be worthy of reference, but its contribution and value were not as good as that of the Book of Magnus. ”

The Book of Magnus!

Fu Qinghai had heard of this book.

It is claimed to have collected almost all psionic magic.

There are two extant copies of the Book of Magnus.

One in the Harlequin Spirit's Black Library.

One is in the hands of Azak Ariman .

"Can you recall and reproduce all of the contents of the Book of Magnus?"

Fu Qinghai immediately asked.

"I can't."

Danjur shook his head and said:

"There was so much in that book, and a lot of magic couldn't be described in words or words, and Amon himself had only read it a few times."

That's right, too. Not to mention Amon, even if Magnus himself, the author himself, after he was broken into soul fragments and pieced together by the army of a thousand sons, and resurrected in the form of a demon prince, even he himself could not remember the entire content of the Book of Magnus, how could Tengjur copy this book.

"You personally led people to collect and sort out the big library, and stored all the books worth paying attention to in it into the classic library of Suzhenghao, and you will be in charge of the classic library in the future."

Fu Qinghai instructed Danjur.

"Understood, Khan."

Danjur nodded in agreement.

This harvest is not small.

Think tank director, think tank director, as the name suggests, this "think tank" must have books in it, and Tengyur can be called a "director", otherwise it is an empty shell director. Coupled with the seizure of the "Rituals and Chants" from the Jelas space station, the Suzheng's library of texts slowly began to be enriched.
