Perseverance, corridor.

Right now.

.

Hades, who had just finished a day's training, was silently walking in the gray-green corridor at the moment, and the dull footsteps silently echoed in the long and narrow space.

Normally, he would be pushed and shoved back to his personal lounge by a few veterans, but today, Hades chose to deliberately end training early

Hades wanted to be quiet and reflect on what he had recently observed.

Therefore, he excused himself to go to the third archive room and left early.

First of all, Hades is certain that he has been "chosen".

Even if the person who made the decision didn't show up, Hades realized something from the growing number of veterans who had gathered around him in recent months.

Although some veterans simply wanted to beat him, some veterans would look at Hades with a very complicated eye.

After Hades knocks them down and says a few words of greeting, they look relieved.

But when Hades deliberately turned the corner and asked them, there was another "I don't know anything" expression.

Leave Hades pretending to be kind and ignorant and snorting haha.

Hades was speechless.

These veterans really don't know how to pretend.

Compared with those angry management old fritters, these veterans who fight every day are relatively simple.

Most of these sensible veterans were more amiable, and Hades silently classified them as moderates or neutrals.

Those who rushed up to him without saying a word were radicals nine times out of ten.

Hades touched his nose, and they were the ones who hit people the hardest.

And after a few months of fighting with the veterans, Hades has initially figured out the factions and ideas of these veterans.

Most of them are still neutral, and they offer their allegiance as long as Motarian is capable enough to bring them to fight for the Empire.

Some were moderates, some of whom were neutrals who became moderates after believing that Motarian was qualified, and others who were impressed by the primordial innate bond with their offspring.

The smallest proportion is the radicals, and these guys are ready to die in the next battle.

It was clear that someone had deliberately arranged for him to come into contact with these Terra-veterans.

Someone else deliberately arranged for Vaux to come into contact with the Barbaros of the other companies.

Hades initially thought that this was Galo's instructions, but after learning some about the history of the Seven Companies, Hades realized that Galo would not be so ostentatious.

There is someone else behind Garo.

But that's what Hades can't reach right now.

The man's purpose is also estimated to be simple, and Hades knows what he is thinking.

He's investing.

Hades couldn't help but frown again, if that was the case, then he would have to go to Motarian again.

But lately he's been patronizing training and hasn't paid much attention to Motalian.

Another thing that upset Hades was that news of this part had been completely blocked since the think tank broke out in the duel cage.

I can't get any wind out of it.

On weekdays, Hades's behavior trajectory does not coincide at all with the first company of the think tank, Karastiphon, and he has no way to gather information.

No, he had to go to Motarian.

But not now.

Hades knew that the person who chose him behind his back was also observing Hades's words and deeds.

He had to walk according to the other party's daily routine for a while.

After a while, if Hades meets his criteria, then he will probably take the initiative to come to Hades.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and Hades does not want to startle the snake because of his rash search for Motarian.

He's waiting.

If the other party takes the bait, Hades has a hunch that he can save some of the Terra.

After weighing the pros and cons, Hades chose to wait.

It's still the time of the Great Expedition, the twenty-one primordial bodies have not yet been found, and Chaos' corruption of the legion has not yet begun.

Moreover, Mortarian's own extreme aversion to psionic powers, and his extreme vigilance, Hades felt that he should ...... I don't think I'm going to get into the pit so soon, right?

Motarian, I believe in you, don't be reckless!

However, now that half of the Legion was still in control of the First Company's commander, Barasin, Hades believed that even if Motarian was sometimes out of sorts, Barasin must be a sane man.

Then there's the think tank...... Regarding this part, Hades really has no idea where to start at present......

He can't just run to the think tank and yell at me to help you, right?

Hades also beat them up before, and the other side must have thought that he was here to find fault.

Could it be true that we want to die guard the future and abolish think tanks?

A sense of powerlessness and prostration literally hung over Hades.

He couldn't swim in front of Mortarian like Karastiphon—

However, a ticking sound interrupted Hades' thoughts.

In the empty hallway, a mechanical sage slowly walked from the opposite side.

The scarlet robe was draped over the bowed body as if it were bent to a broken body, and the mechanical feet of the cable protruded from under the robe, and the mechanical sage kept changing his steps, slowly moving down the corridor.

Well?

Is it a mechanical sage from a Martian transport ship?

Or is it a person?

It is possible to get to the Foundry Hall, but the path is quite complicated and winds around.

Are you lost? The mechanical sage can still get lost???

The two of them are getting closer and closer—

Hades kept his pace and quickly brushed past the sage.

The ticking sound faded away.

Maybe I'm too careful.

Hades continued to keep his way forward, and he hurried to the third archive to return the book.

He had a copy of the Chronicle of Ulz in his hand, which Hades had not returned since he had borrowed it a few months earlier......

It's not his fault, he's been beaten every day these days, and his reading speed has naturally slowed down......

The Chronicle of Ulz, a book that chronicles the history of the Caucasus region of Terra, the rise of the warlords, the establishment of local councils, wars, games, and—

Sorcery.

There are a large number of cases of psykers using witchcraft.

Those howling natives, those bloody sacrifices, those shamans whose bodies are torn apart and hoodoos crawl out of their brains.

The book depicts these wicked and blasphemous witchcraft in a rather detailed and exaggerated manner.

Hades remembers the first time he saw the description of witchcraft in the book, and he stared at the pages in a daze.

Isn't this chaos?!!!

That's a demon, right??!

Groove !!

As a traverser, Hades undoubtedly knows that this is about the chaos of subspace.

That historian, that historian, he recommended this book to Hades?!

Hades' scalp tingled.

Although half of his brain has no scalp.

But Hades suddenly recalled the conversation the historian had with him, and when recommending the book, he said,

"Although this book is a history book, it can be read as a novel, and we historians scoff at the fantasy descriptions in this book."

Hades started by referring to a magical depiction of personal heroism or something, but did it turn out to be psionic energy?!

...

Hades walked into the third archive.

Sure enough, the historian wasn't here.
