The Prophet Natas saluted the people in the room in a dance-like motion. If this were to be done by humans, it would undoubtedly be very funny. But all spirits are born dancers or actors, so the same movements performed by the Prophet Natas are graceful to look at.

"Master Robert Killiman." He greeted, "and—I didn't expect to see you here, 'darling of the throne.'" ”

The second half of his sentence was obviously addressed to Rika Fujimaru. As a result, Kiriman noticed that when the Spirit Prophet stepped into the threshold, the girl who was sitting in a wheelchair with her back straightened changed her expression in an instant, apparently entering some kind of ...... "state of imminent battle".

After making sure that no one wanted to take it for her, Rika Fujimaru spoke with a subtle sense of satisfaction: "Forgive me for being blunt, Prophet Natas. I'll have to react a bit to realize you're calling me - after all, the last time I met your people, I was clearly referred to as 'Scourge Root', 'Destroyer', or something like that. ”

- The Elven assassination team she encountered on Jaystar was not alone. While all of these encounters were spent in a thrilling manner (she suspected that it was some small ark that decided to snipe her), it was enough to drain almost all of her affection for the race.

This accusation did not embarrassed Prophet Natas, or rather, he was embarrassed, but no one in the room could see it. The Prophet simply replied calmly, "It seems that you have met with some of my unfriendly people. However, just as it is possible to have both sunlight and clouds in the same sky, I have to let you know that not all of us see you as a threat. At the very least, on behalf of the Reaper, I would like to declare that we are willing to consider you as an ally. ”

Wow, that's flattering.

Ritsuka Fujimaru thought so, but she didn't say it, and even had an impeccable courtesy smile on her face. Of course, she can continue to chase after the victory, but she knows that her position here is a guest after all, and guests should not drag the topic of the host's house away at will. The exchange of these two sentences was enough for Killiman to grasp her position, and she walked down the stairs with good spirits: "Thank you and the forces you represent, at least in the common cause of fighting Chaos, we are duty-bound. ”

This is true, but there is still some room for manipulation: Fujimaru Rika seems to identify with the identity of an "ally of the Reaper", but there is not a single word in the whole sentence. The Prophet Natas was apparently aware of this, and he wanted to go on to say something remedy, yet Kiliman was quicker than he was:

"Turn on the dark grid." The Imperial Regent didn't speak to anyone present, but he did attract the attention of everyone in the room. As he spoke, there was a mechanical hum from the seemingly unremarkable Bogu shelf against the wall, and a hidden drawer emerged from the supposedly empty space between the frames. Killiman took out a flat box and opened it and placed it on the coffee table in the center of the room for everyone to see.

Inside the box, there was a blue light of a stasis force field, and underneath the blue light was an old book that was clearly some years old, and on the leather cover, which had been carefully bound but had been worn by the power of time, had the title written in sharp Gothic script: "The Emperor's Sacred Words".

“…… The core canon of the state religion? The Space Marine Think Tank asked.

Killiman simply confirmed this, and Fujimaru Rika added casually, "It should be the only one of the early versions, otherwise I can't think of any reason why it deserves to be put into the stasis force field by Lord Regent." ”

Kiliman, who had changed from "Mr. Robert" to "Lord Regent" in front of the Spirit Clan, glanced at the little girl in a wheelchair without a trace, and agreed with this: "I asked someone to do a material identification and psionic scan, it was printed about 8,000 years ago. ”

"It's been almost a thousand years since the Great Rebellion." Rika Fujimaru commented, "Although it is also very valuable for reference, I am afraid it is not a 'first edition'. ”

Out of curiosity, and after consulting Killman, the think tank closed the static force field in the box, carefully picked up the book from it, and tried to read the first page.

"It's a little difficult." "It's Gothic, but it's very old. ”

Rika Fujimaru didn't seem to be interested in this at all, and didn't even try to move her wheelchair to the side of the think tank. But she still recited in a similar pronunciation and tone from 10,000 years ago: "'Rejoice, for I have brought you the gospel of light—the gods walking among us.'" ’”

Then she immediately switched back to the more common accent of this era, and continued, "I can't recite more, it might not be polite to our Eldar friends. ”

The Prophet Natas did "slide" backwards a little without a trace as she began to recite the first two verses of the Prophet. It can be seen that he is obviously not very happy about this, but he still basically maintains restraint and can very politely express "thanks and understanding" to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Killiman was a little surprised by the scene, but he didn't show it because of his statesmanship. But his think tank obviously felt something in the two sentences of Fujimaru Rikka's "recitation", pulled his eyes out of the ancient book, and stared at this seemingly ordinary girl a little suspiciously: "What did you just do?" ”

"Reciting the original text of the first edition of the Emperor's Sacred Word in a 'correct' accent, of course, with a little magic trick." Fujimaru Rika said calmly, "You must have found out that I am not a psionic, but in this way, I can also directly channel the emperor's psionic energy to kill enemies from Chaos. There are only two cases of such a simple method that can achieve such a simple effect, and as far as I know of, there are only two cases in the entire galaxy, which is why the Prophet of Natas is a little nervous about it. ”

The think tank was obviously more interested in the topic, but before he could organize his language and continue to ask questions, Kiriman's voice rang out: "Have you read the first edition?" ”

"'Carrying it,' to be exact." Fujimaru Rika showed a very disgusted expression, "That's really annoying, but I can't help it, I have to rely on this to eat." ”

Kiliman's expression was complicated: "Then you also know who is the author of the first edition of the Sacred Word?" ”

Fujimaru Rika nodded, and in the moment before she could open her mouth to answer, she braked the brakes and twisted her head towards the other two people in the room.

The think tank was somewhat inexplicable: "Author? What's wrong with this person? ”

"It was written by my brother Aurelian Loga." Kiriman replied.

This answer obviously stunned the think tank for a moment: "What? That traitor primordial? ”

"Yes." There was a hint of bitterness in Kiliman's voice, "I've wondered lately if it was the Emperor's own resistance to Loga's faith that caused my brother to turn to other gods who were more receptive to these things. ”

At this time, Rika Fujimaru showed a complicated expression of "I have something to say, but I shouldn't say it on this occasion, so I shut up". The think tank that was sandwiched in the middle looked left and right, and asked in a deliberately controlled, emotionless tone: "So, I'm the last person in this room to know about this?" ”

The Spirit Clan Prophet nodded proudly: "My clan knows the identity of the author. ”

"Don't worry too much, after all, this is a 'top secret' that will never be disclosed in the Empire." Rika Fujimaru was so relieved, "Imagine if this news was spread everywhere-"

"That would lead to catastrophic consequences, and the legitimacy of the state religion would be shaken without question, and its impact would be immeasurable." She doesn't need to finish all the rest of the story, as an Ultra Warrior subgroup, the think tank itself has enough knowledge to automatically complete the possible development. Here he suddenly realized the weight of the facts, and the little shabby book suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hand.

Confused, he held the book in his hands and looked at his genetic father: "Why? Why did you suddenly bring up this topic? ”

"Because since I came back, there have been so many things that have shaken my beliefs." Killiman's gaze swept over the other people in the room, one after another, "I would like to use this to discuss with you a question: 'What is the nature of divine existence?'" ’”

He paused for a moment, then went on to explain his problem:

"In other words, what exactly is 'God'?"

Miwoo (none).

To be honest, I don't understand the timeline of the original work too much, theoretically speaking, in the book "Divine Plague", they went to Killiman's study to discuss this issue after reviewing the T big demon (nine sentences of truth famous scene .jpg), but when did this scene take place...... (Confused)

Actually, I think it should have been earlier, at least before Pamenio, because the book "Plague" is written about Killiman who immediately interrogated T Demon after recalling Ingie Felix from government work, and Felix stayed in the fleet after that, and then there was the section in "Plague War" where he led the team to smash the factory of the Temple of Nurgle. But in this conversation, the Spirit Prophet mentions the little girl of the saint of Pamenio and the miracle she caused, which is clearly after Pamenio...... (It was very confusing, and the result was to give up thinking and decide to eat GW's book)

I've finished eating, if there's something wrong, please bear with me! (very loud)

I don't know why the regent didn't bring Degris when discussing this topic, but Donus Maxim, the warden of the Aurora Warriors. This question may have to be asked to Guy Harry, who wrote "The Plague".

Original:

"Then why are you showing me this?" Maxim asked, "Why did you tell me this secret, why didn't Digris or some other higher wisdom bear the burden of knowing it?" ”

"You're here. I would like to discuss this now. You are the most suitable. Kiriman said. Do you need any other reasons? ”

(It's very casual)
