After docking the ship in the starport, Bernatita took Russell and the Bulletist on a small shuttle to the spire of the Prophetess's nest, where Alexei was interrogating the Ark spirits captured by the Human Empire.

These disgusting, cunning aliens had been humiliated and tortured by the Inquisition in the filthy prisons at the bottom of the Hive Capital, and many of their brains and spirit cores had been permanently crippled by the Inquisitors' brutal methods.

The Eldar Empire was once the overlord of the galaxy, boasting a vast territory of tens of millions of habitable star systems. As a psionic race brought by the ancient saints, the spirit race is selfish, arrogant, stubborn, and self-righteous, and every cell from the heavenly spirit cover to the soles of the feet reveals an obnoxious arrogance.

Perhaps the once powerful Spirit Empire was indeed qualified to be so arrogant, but the once powerful Spirit Empire had long since completely collapsed due to the indulgence of the Spirit Race itself.

The current Adaling clan is obviously just a group of self-inflicted lost dogs, but they always keep chanting "Our old Ada's master is the master".

The arrogance and stubbornness of the Spirit Clan of Fódla's Ark have caused the Inquisitors to exhaust their means in the past few years and not ask for much valuable information, but instead toss and kill many precious captives, and take out a few fragments of memories from their brains, which are of no practical use.

It wasn't until Alexei recently offered to interrogate them himself that the Inquisition reluctantly transferred the half-dead aliens to the upper echelons of the nest to continue their detention.

After all, they could not have allowed the Emperor's prophetess to condescend to set foot at the bottom of the filthy hive, for Alexei never wore shoes.

- She wore no undergarments, and the prophetess had no third piece of cloth on her body except a strip of blindfold with the words written on it, and a vacuum-white robe covering her body, not even a headband to tie her hair, which symbolized her total devotion to the emperor.

Before leaving the battleship for the main planet of Nifer, Russell specially instructed the 200 members of the Order of Truth who remained on the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth to absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not leave the cabin to go to the outside world, no matter what happened, otherwise they would suffer a fatal calamity. Even the calculus who manages this line claims to be.

The overall climate of the main planet of Nifuel is cold, and all the living blocks except the North and South Poles are generally divided into 4 major regions, and the "Festival of Grace" ruled by the Reipt family is located at the warmest and most comfortable planetary equator.

Bernastita piloted the shuttle and led Russell and the Marble through the heavily guarded guard posts and the Reyput family coat of arms hanging above the nest to the towering tower at the equator.

The nobles of the upper ranks, who had already received the news, were waiting here early with their retinue and clerks, and they had many matters of cooperation to discuss with the governor of Falla...... and overtures.

But that has nothing to do with the Bulletiner.

"The seeress's chamber of interrogation is in the deepest part of the spire, and if you show this token to the inquisitor inside, you can enter without incident...... Sorry, I can't accompany you for the rest of the journey. Bernatita whispered, handing a delicate golden coat of arms to the Bullet Star.

She then turned around and stayed in the council chamber with Russell, talking to the nobles on a number of matters related to the L-Star Gate.

Russell didn't have to break it, and Russell could think of the reason why Bernartita didn't go with him to see Alexei. In fact, it is very simple - after all, she is still a guilty person, so naturally she does not want to meet with her fellow judges, and the inquisitors who do not agree with her will inevitably put pressure on Alexei to convict and try Bernartita as soon as possible.

In that case, it would put Alexei in a dilemma.

The situation of this former inquisitor lady is very difficult to the naked eye...... Russell played with the golden coat of arms in his hand and glanced back at Grey Wind, who was standing with Bernartita, who seemed to be arguing with the nobles about something.

He shook his head, donning the black robe of the Star-Dancer, and walked down the hallway deeper into the building.

Several of the Inquisitors who interrogated the Elves with the Prophetess belonged to the same faction, to be exact, an old Inquisitor with three newcomers to the profession.

When Russell arrived at the hidden portico in the depths of the spire with the golden coat of arms, the old inquisitor, known as the "Blood Lion", was waiting with his three novice apprentices in front of the heavy stone door carved with the coat of arms of the Reyput family.

The Blood Lion didn't overreact to the arrival of the "Star Bomber", he just raised his eyes slightly from his erected collar, glanced at the golden coat of arms in Russell's hand, and after confirming his identity, he closed his eyes and acquiesced to his approval.

Russell maintained the indifference expected of a star bulleter, and walked past the blood lion without saying a word, after entering the stone gate.

There are three stone gates.

The first door is inscribed with the Reiput family coat of arms, the second is emblazoned with the gear skeleton of the Order of Mechanics, and the third door is the sacred Imperial Double-headed Eagle.

Such a tight detention shows the human empire's outright hatred and extreme vigilance against this dangerous alien of the Spirit Race.

Walking into the secret room behind the three stone doors, the first thing that greeted me was a strong smell of blood that was very different from human blood, but had some wonderful similarities.

Russell looked up and saw dozens of dying, slender, pointy-eared humanoid creatures nailed to the three walls of the chamber like air-dried bacon.

It's nailed, not hung.

Carved with High Gothic poems and imprinted with pure black steel drills pierced the shoulder blades, collarbones, pelvis, and knees of these spirits, nailing their tormented, tormented, torn bodies to the walls like animals with no dignity.

This is the masterpiece of the Inquisitor Blood Lion.

According to Bernartita's information, the ideas espoused by the Blood Lion belonged to an extreme branch of purity in the Inquisition: the Monopoly.

The Monopoly Faction believes in the Manifest Destiny of the Empire, believing that humans are the rightful masters of the galaxy and should be the only masters, so they are extremely dark and cruel to all the methods of xenomorphism and heresy, so cruel that even the other Inquisitors who are also Purists are disgusted and even frightened of them.

Russell looked at the delicately sliced chest and abdomen of a female spirit nailed to the wall, as well as the suspicious glands dangling from the sides of his thighs, and thought that the rumors of the exclusivity's cruelty might be a bit conservative.

In this bloody room, the blindfolded prophetess in a simple white robe stood barefoot in the center of the secret room, her long pure white hair and the golden light around her body, which seemed incompatible with the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere here.

Alexei turned, bent down at Russell with his hands on his lower abdomen and bowed deeply.

"You're here."

"I'm coming." Russell's voice was as misty as an illusion: "I'm not good at interrogation, and these spirits are dying, and there is no trial for them...... What do you want me to do? ”

"It's not up to you." Alexei gave him a beautiful smile and said, "Thanks to the Emperor's guidance, I managed to extract and eat the soul of the Spirit Race Prophet, and thus gained all of its memories. ”

"In the memories of the Spirit Prophet, I found something very ...... Incredible thing, I think this thing must be told to you. ”

Russell came to the detriment: "Devouring souls? I can't imagine that the emperor's saints will also follow heresy...... Say, what's incredible? ”
