Contrary to Judge Verchak's speculation, the Chaldeans and his party really came to this Star Language Relay Station just to send a Star Word that was even lackluster in content, just to report safety. But the former's guess can't be wrong, because the size of the relay station in the Abbey of the Holy Blood Angel Warband, whether it refers to equipment or personnel, cannot meet the requirements for sending such a simple star language.

Because the destination of this star language is Makulag.

More than a hundred years ago, although the distance between Baal and Macurag, who were also in the Extreme Star Field, was not close, it was not very difficult to communicate in the language of the stars on a regular basis. Unfortunately, after the Great Rift unfolded, the chaotic subspace environment made the possibility of psionic communication between the imperial worlds separated at the two ends completely delusional. It is impossible for natural phenomena to care about the order of power in human society, and even the original home planets such as Baal and Macurag are treated equally.

After the Great Rift unfolded, star-language communication between the Imperial Sacred Frontier and the Dark Side of the Empire soon proved impossible under a series of bloody lessons, and logistics and intelligence could only be transported by human means from the narrow and unstable "safe routes" of the Great Rift. This was considered an irreversible iron law for nearly a hundred years, until half a year ago, when Baal received a stellar communication from the Glory of Macurag.

At that time, this communication was received by this star relay station on the main planet of Baal. Hecelius was not present at the time, but he had read the damage report: the word had a physical representation the moment it descended on the relay station - the subspace protection on the largest of the relay stations, the minaret of the astral language, had been physically cut through a hole, and the building itself had been damaged by the load-bearing structure, which had not caused a lot of accidents but had to be repaired; The psionic energy collectors in the entire tower were all overloaded and burned, and some unrelated psionic energy sensitive facilities were also damaged to varying degrees; There were more than 300 members of the Star Chorus who were on duty in the tower that day, and were responsible for receiving the Star Whispers that might arrive at any time, and most of these people were carried directly into the medical wing due to varying degrees of psionic burns or insanity caused by subspace, and the remaining half were not left with this need. Or rather, they didn't have anything left of them except a black stain or a bit of dust on their seats.

Luckily, the content of this star-language communication, which came from afar and made impossible possible, is actually very brief and the encryption is very basic. In hindsight, as long as two or three of the choir members who received the star language at that time survived, they could accurately decode and translate it into normal information under the premise of cross-checking each other, and there was no even need for decoders specially trained to interpret the star language. In this regard, the Relay Station's Chief Star Whisperer and the Blood Angel's Chief Think Tank made the same reasonable assumption: given the energy consumption required to make the Star Communication as complete as possible through the Great Rift, it may be difficult for such Star Languages to carry overly complex information or make the overall intelligence cumbersome and bulky encryption methods.

But the day before, Rika Fujimaru, who had offered to borrow the largest star relay station in Baal, had denied this reasonable assumption. She herself said that there was no advanced principle to let the Star Communication pass through the big rift intact, it was just a simple force to fly. The content of the communication that needs to be delivered can continue to be complicated, and she (the emperor) will continue to work harder. However, another question arises that must be considered: she can indeed send out such a star language, but who has the ability to receive it?

Considering the previous tragic situation at the Star Relay Station, Joheserius, who was listening by Mephiston's side at the time, had to admit that this did make sense. By the way, Mephiston's library exploration didn't have time to produce any results, because early that morning, Hecelius risked his life in a hurry to ignore the ban of the chief think tank and dig him out of the sea of books: "Don't care about that 'Arjuna', you should give priority to studying the resurrection of the 'Black Knight'!" ”

However, when he succeeded in dragging the Chief Think Tank back to the human world from the library, he discovered that the fact that "the Imperial Champion next to Fujimaru Rika turned out to be the first generalissimo of the Black Templar" seemed to be less important than "the Star Communication Ritual that could stably cross the Great Rift in one direction". Jocelius didn't know what happened after that, but he was sure it was important. At least so important that Mephiston didn't rush back into the library, and even the matter about the Star Communication Ceremony was dumped by the Chief Think Tank to his lieutenant to oversee it.

Considering that the Chaldean side sent the relay station is also obviously a "second echelon", it seems that the two sides did agree on the importance of this matter, at least.

The elevator in the relay station mainly serves the relatively fragile mortal star-talkers, so in Joheserius's opinion, its efficiency is still somewhat unsatisfactory. Even so, before he could get impatient, the group managed to reach the top of the towering spire, and the chief startalker of the relay station was already waiting respectfully on the red carpet laid out at the elevator entrance with his entourage.

From Joheselius' point of view, he thinks the greeting is a little too high, but it's not incomprehensible. Rika Fujimaru's schedule seemed unnecessarily crowded to others, so for reasons of efficiency and "difficulty in deciding where she would go", the Chaldeans only wrote a rough idea of the intention and the number of people in the party and the organization to which she belonged, and did not write a specific list—with a little privilege and sufficient security, this part of the document could be supplemented later according to the actual situation.

Based on this premise, at first, Jocelius thought that this was a preparation in case the Star Relay Station had to suddenly welcome the saint, after all, if the standard of reception was high, it would not be a big problem, and if it was low, it might be a loss. But at the end of the mutual self-introduction stage, Kylia herself stiffly said that she was not Fujimaru Ritsuka, but after her entourage, the chief star whisperer's face with hollow eyes still maintained full respect, and still insisted on calling the other party "saint", which made Ruocelius a little incomprehensible.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that Kylia herself did not deny the title, neither did Inquisitor Hastings next to her, and the several dark angels who were quietly poking in the back were equally quiet. Considering the cause and effect of the whole thing, a very nonsense conjecture began to arise in Joheserius's thoughts. He dismissed the thought angrily, and decided to give up his speculation and ask the insider what was going on.

+ If my memory is correct, I think that the only "Imperial Saint" registered in the Chaldean Bureau is Rika Fujimaru. +

Hecelius wasn't very good at teleporting psionic powers, but at such a close distance, it would have been easy to communicate with the targeted Inquisitor of Hastings with psionic powers. He was sure he heard the declarative question he made, but at least on the surface, Hastings acted as if nothing had happened.

+ That's a little bit ...... Historical factors. Kellya is a Saint of Pamenio of Otlama who has an Imperial City called Tyros, the local auxiliaries present at the time, the Ninety-Ninth Cows, and a detachment of Sister Scarlet Roses led by a high-ranking battle nun to testify to her. It's only a matter of time before she's truly recognized as a saint, so even though the official certification of the Empire is still going through the process, we generally don't waste our energy to refute this. +

The inquisitor, who was also a psyker, replied to Johesilius in the same way. There was a hint of hidden embarrassment in his tone, but in the psionic fluctuations of his words, the emotional response was much more pronounced than in his tone—a topic that reminded him of some of the stupid things he had done to block Rika Fujimaru when he first landed on the Storm Frontier, and this was one of them.

Luckily, Jocelius was obviously not interested in the details of the matter, and naturally did not specifically explore how stupid Hastings was doing. He only continued in a tone of obvious distrust: + I don't know when the so-called "saints" in the empire will appear in any world. +

In order to prevent the topic from being diverted to the part he didn't really want to mention, Inquisitor Hastings decided to start talking about him:

+ But there is a reason for it. + He said, + You think, that whoever is qualified to succeed to the position of an Imperial Saint should of course also be another Imperial Saint. This logically makes perfect sense. +

Jocelius frowned disapprovingly under his visor.
