The meeting was finally held as scheduled, with a total of three parties attending the meeting. The Ministry of Military Affairs, which was nominally able to arrange the future whereabouts of the Dreadnaughts, the Adeptus Mechanicus, which restored the Dauntless Elders after obtaining knowledge from the Terra space station, and Robert Guilliman

myself.

The Ministry of Military Affairs knew very well that they were here to make up for the money, so they simply sent two officers to watch the show - and take a vacation. They could stay at the space station for two days after the meeting. During these two days, they

Able to relax well.

It is worth mentioning that these two officers, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, look very harmonious.

The Adeptus Mechanicus sent the most people, which is not difficult to understand. Mars has been stuffing people into the Terra Space Station in the past few years, and few priests still wanted to do it after seeing such a creation as the Terra Space Station.

Anyone who is willing to face it across the sea wants to come and experience it.

The priests in charge of recording stood on both sides of the room. Reinhardt, the foundry general of the Adeptus Mechanicus, wanted to speak on behalf of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but the changes he made to his face after arriving at Terra Space Station made him lose this.

Rights, and therefore can only be replaced by a sage named Kuros.

The Tech-Priests on the space station unanimously voted that General Reinhardt's face was no longer suitable for a spokesman - he had his lower jaw partially removed and a plasma cannon installed.

Even the Tech-Priests, who are not very sensitive to social politeness, know that anyone who sees a dark plasma cannon barrel while talking will probably not be in a good mood.

Moreover, the main subject of the report at this meeting was Robert Guilliman, the Imperial Regent.

"Honored Regent, Avenger, Lord of Ultramar, Blade of Unity——"

"——You can skip these titles of mine, Your Excellency Sage. We are pressed for time, so please keep the story as short as possible."

The sage nodded obediently: "Yes, Your Highness. Then, please allow me to report to you the results of our work in the past three months of Terra - the sacred pattern formation. Can you please publish the data?"

The corners of Guilliman's eyes twitched secretly. These people have already begun to label the array as 'sacred'?

Of course, Wen Zhen responded to him immediately.

A burst of blue light appeared, followed by the familiar light curtain. Complex charts, calculation formulas and a long list of conclusions scrolled quickly and continuously on it. Sage Kouros stretched out his bionic hand from the robe.

, gently stopped the sliding.

He pointed at a certain data and started talking.

"We reborn eight fearless elders within three months. They broke away from the fearless mecha and were able to move freely. Although from the perspective of the gods of all machines, I don't think their flesh and blood bodies can compare.

Such strong steel, but it is also a good thing to see them free from pain."

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

"Forgive me for not being able to repeat the technology itself in detail. Your Highness, it is too complicated. However, I can assure you that although we have achieved good optimization in terms of speed, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the repair itself.

.”

When he said this, the sage waved his bionic hand seriously, and his natural skin color even became slightly excited because he detected his emotions.

"I have never questioned your serious attitude towards this matter. I certainly believe that they will not have any problems under your hands. However, this is not the focus of today's meeting. Seven of the eight fearless have returned to their battlefields.

Of the group, only one is still on the space station.”

Guilliman frowned: "I know his identity. In fact, I know him. Yonid Hill was my first second company commander. In fact, he was my first second company commander. He

You have followed me across countless dangerous battlefields. We fought side by side. So, I want to ask you."

He looked around and spoke slowly.

"Why did you let him stay temporarily, and even asked a warrior who was supposed to return to Macragge's Glory to stay with him? Is it to distract him?"

"No such thing, Your Highness!"

The sage hurriedly explained: "This is exactly what I want to explain to you next. Can you bear with me for a moment longer, and I will explain everything clearly."

Guilliman stared at him without saying a word. For two full minutes, he didn't say anything, just looked at the sage. His eyes were not very eager, but with a sense of doubt. Even if he was a machine,

He was also trembling slightly under such gaze.

Few people can withstand the anger of a primary body - Guilliman has not reached this level yet, but everyone knows that if Kuros' explanation does not satisfy him, I am afraid that his emotions will change next.

has developed in this direction.

Finally, Guilliman nodded slightly.

Kuros was relieved and hurriedly began to explain.

"Elder Yonide was repaired by three technical priests. In this process, which they had done several times, a new problem arose. The priests serve the Om Messiah, just like us

Everyone is the same, so they are also engineers, they solve problems, solve practical problems..."

Kuros paused for a while and said: "This new problem was solved, but more new problems were born..."

He kept explaining around the word 'problem', but never told the nature of the problem.

Guilliman narrowed his eyes, realizing that the sage was trying to hide something. He turned slightly to look at the two officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs, who immediately stood up and left first, followed by the priest in charge of recording and the foundry general.

, in the end, only Guilliman and Sage Kuros were left in the conference room.

"Sage, you can speak now," Guilliman told him calmly. "What is the question you have been mentioning?"

The sage sat down on the chair, his neck twitching nervously: "There was a problem with his genetic glands during repair."

Guilliman did not get angry directly as he imagined. Instead, he thought carefully before continuing to ask, his tone still calm: "Is it the neck or the chest?"

"Everything went wrong."

"What kind of question?"

Kuros's synthesized voice seemed a little trembling, and his instrument could not control the trembling: "Compared with the standard ultramarine genes, the gene seeds extracted from the gene glands of Elder Yonide have some different changes.

..."

"Speak clearly, sage." Guilliman sighed. "Stop being secretive. I want to get an exact description, a detailed description, a description full of scientific spirit, not a mysticism like you."

Hesitating."

His eyes gradually became stern: "Even if his gene seed mutates, I still have to figure out the reason! You also have to give me a reason! Do you understand?!"

"Understood, Your Highness." The sage lowered his eyebrows and followed the good advice.

"So, his mutation tendency...is it good or bad?"

This question actually made Sage Kouros cough uncontrollably - as a person who has completely replaced his respiratory tract and even lungs with mechanical parts, this thing is almost impossible to happen, unless he has such a habit in the past

.

But he just did it, and it was very natural.

"Your Highness, I can tell you responsibly that it is developing in a good direction. However, this cannot be explained at all - according to the detection of the pattern formation, if we use the gene seeds of Elder Yonide to cultivate

A new monk will be two to three times more powerful than his predecessors and brothers..."

Guilliman's frown deepened and he asked again: "You mentioned before that the three priests solved a problem. What problem?"

"Well, the body repair of the fearless elders is generally divided into three stages. Due to the life-sustaining characteristics of the fearless mecha itself, we first need to apply for a temporary medical cabin from the formation, and then transfer the elders' bodies to

Take it out of the Dreadnought and put it into the medical bay. This is the first stage."

"Logically speaking, this step can be reached directly. Ohm Messiah's sacred medical cabin can soothe all pain and reshape the bodies of the elders. However, the Dreadnought Mecha itself is also

There are machine spirits in the battles that have followed the elders for many years, and they also need to be properly handled and respected."

"The second stage is here, completed by the priests. During the medical diagnosis and repair process of the elders in the medical cabin, they will observe the Dreadnought Mecha and communicate with the machine soul through rituals to confirm its

Willingness. See if it is willing to sleep, or continue to follow its master and continue to fight."

"All the machine souls so far are unwilling to sleep. Then, the third stage will begin. During the repair process of the elders, the priests will use some of the spiritual materials of the Dreadnought Mecha and the Terra space station to grant them.

Use the sacred knowledge below to create a brand new piece of power armor, and the machine soul is contained within it."

Kuros clasped his hands together devoutly and said in a trembling tone: "This power armor will perfectly fit the bodies of the elders, and the machine soul will be in sync with their souls... Praise the God of All Machines!"

Guilliman listened to his digression without expression, without interrupting.

"The problem Elder Yonide encountered is in the second stage - the machine soul in his fearless mecha fell silent for some reason. It still exists but does not communicate with anyone. Even if we

The three priests who were extremely pious could not get a response from it, so in desperation, they turned to the sacred array for help."

"The answer given by Wen Zhen is to make Elder Yonide healthy first, and then let him touch the mecha to see if he can communicate with the machine spirit. The priests also do this, but who knows

, just after that, Elder Yonide suddenly fainted..."

"The priests hurriedly sent him back to the medical cabin. According to the test results, his gene seeds had such a mutation after that touch, and the machine soul also completely disappeared - not only that, Yin Oni

Elder De's own physical quality has also undergone a certain degree of... uh, evolution?"

The sage hesitated for a rare moment: "In short, that's it. We still can't explain the reason. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Guilliman hummed and did not answer him for the time being. After a while, he raised his head and asked: "Wen Zhen, what do you think? After all, you are also a kind of machine spirit."

"Received, I'm thinking logical calculations based on my underlying built-in thinking, please wait...The conclusion has been reached."

Wen Zhen's voice sounded, carrying something inexplicable.

"The machine soul born from the fearless mecha owned by Elder Yonide should have produced some strange phenomenon over the long years. It advanced and retreated together with the elder, so that it thought that Elder Yonide had

A person’s life is the meaning of his existence.”

"After the machine soul learned about the fact that the elder could survive without it, it believed that it no longer needed to exist. Therefore, it refused to communicate with the priests, but it communicated with Elder Yonide.

In the last meeting, I gave him my final gift."

Guilliman nodded noncommittally, stood up, and said to Sage Kross, who had his head raised dumbfounded: "You have heard it, Sage, this is the answer to the question - even if it is not, I am afraid it is the closest one.

A sort of."

"...Then, then, what are we going to do? I mean, should this matter be recorded?" the sage asked at a loss.

"I have no intention of interfering with your beliefs." Guilliman replied, while taking a deep look at the sage. "I personally don't like religion, but the existence of machine spirits is unquestionable, so this matter.

.....Of course you can record it, of course, you should know what should be written and what should not be written."

After saying this, he nodded towards the sage and left.

calm.

Yonide kept taking deep breaths - he had to do this to calm himself down. In the current situation, he also had to stay calm, otherwise he would be too rude.

The original body may come to his room at any time. According to the news from Wen Zhen, he will come immediately after the meeting.

After ten thousand years of separation, Yonide never imagined that such a day would really come to pass.

He once followed Guilliman to the Emperor's Glory to join gangs, and he also witnessed the fallen phoenix killing his brother - with just a wave of his hand, the ultramarines kept dying, and they looked at it as if

The father's original body was lying among them with a pale face, being carried by several brothers, bleeding, and his lips were trembling.

Yonide will always remember that scene. He will always be angry about it, but there is nothing he can do about it.

He had thought that the Primarch would never return.

But......

"Elder, are you okay?" Titus asked concernedly, interrupting his thoughts.

"What...? No, I'm fine. I just remembered some old things."

Yonide took a long breath and his chest heaved. Titus looked at him worriedly. He was about to say something more, but the door was knocked. He immediately turned around and planned to open the door, but someone was more worried than him.

quick.
