After docking the ship in the starport, Bernatita took Russell and the Starbuster on a small shuttle to the hive spire where the prophetess was, where Alexei was interrogating the Ark spirits captured by the Human Empire. clan.

These disgusting and cunning aliens were originally imprisoned by the Inquisition in the filthy prison at the bottom of the hive city. Many of them had their brains and Eldar cores tortured by the Inquisitors' cruel methods. Be permanently disabled.

The Eldar Empire established by the Eldar was once the overlord of the galaxy, claiming to have a vast territory of tens of millions of habitable star systems. As a psychic race supported by the ancient saints, the Eldar are selfish, arrogant, stubborn and self-righteous. Every cell from the heavenly cap to the soles of the feet reveals an annoying arrogance.

Perhaps the once powerful Eldar Empire was indeed qualified to be so arrogant, but the once powerful Eldar Empire had already completely collapsed due to the Eldar's own indulgence.

The current Ada Eldar tribe is obviously just a bunch of bereaved dogs who have brought their own consequences, but they still insist on saying "our old Ada's father is our master".

The arrogance and stubbornness of the Ark Eldar of Fordola have meant that the Inquisitors have tried their best in the past few years but have not been able to get much valuable information. Instead, they have tortured many precious captives to death and taken them out of their brains. A little bit of fragmented memory is of no practical use.

It was not until Alexei recently proposed to interrogate them personally that the Inquisition reluctantly moved the half-dead aliens to the upper levels of the hive for further detention.

After all, there was no way they would allow the Emperor's prophetess to stoop so low as to set foot on the filthy underbelly of the hive, for Alexei never wore shoes.

——Wearing no underwear, the prophetess has no third piece of cloth except for the blindfold strips written with holy words and the vacuum white robe covering her body, not even the headband to tie her hair, which symbolizes her Completely dedicated to the Emperor.

Before Russell left the battleship and headed for Nifl Prime, he specifically instructed the 200 members of the Order of Truth who were staying on board the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth. No matter what happened, they must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not leave the cabin and go to the outside world, otherwise they would You will suffer fatal disasters. The calculator who manages this group of people repeatedly claims so.

The overall climate of Nifl's main star is cold. All residential areas except the North and South Pole are divided into four major zones. The "Saint's Grace Zone" ruled by the Reiput family is located at the equator of the planet, which is the warmest and most comfortable place. .

Bernadette drove the shuttle and took Russell and the Star Bomber all the way through the strict inspection post and the Leipte family coat of arms hanging high on the upper floors of the hive, and entered the towering tower on the equator.

The upper-class nobles who had already received the news were waiting here with their entourage and scribes to welcome their arrival. They had many cooperation matters that needed to be discussed, discussed... and shown goodwill with Governor Falla.

But that has nothing to do with the Star Slinger.

"The secret room where the prophetess interrogates the Eldar is at the deepest point of the spire. Show this token to the judge inside and you can enter smoothly... Sorry, I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey." Bernadita whispered, An exquisite golden crest was given to the Star-Buster.

Then she turned around and stayed in the meeting hall with "Russell", talking with the upper-class nobles about many matters related to the L-Star Gate.

There is no need to point it out, Russell can also think of the reason why Bernadita did not go with him to see Alexei. In fact, it's very simple - after all, she is still waiting to be punished, so she naturally does not want to meet her fellow inquisitors. Inquisitors who do not agree with her ideas will inevitably put pressure on Alexei, hoping to deal with Bernadita as soon as possible. Conviction trial.

In that case, Alexey would be put 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 looked back at Gray Wind, who was standing with Bernadita and seemed to be arguing with the nobles.

He shook his head, put on the black robe of the star bomber, and walked deeper into the building along the corridor.

The several inquisitors who interrogated the Eldar together with the prophetess belonged to the same faction. To be precise, they were an old inquisitor and three newcomers who had just joined the profession.

When Russell came to the secret doorway deep in the spire with the golden coat of arms, the old inquisitor known as the "Blood Lion" was waiting with his three novice apprentices to carve the coat of arms of the Leiput family. In front of the heavy stone door, I don’t know what is waiting for me.

Regarding the arrival of the "Star Bomber", the Blood Lion did not have any overreaction. He just raised his eyes slightly from his raised collar, glanced at the golden coat of arms in Russell's hand, and after confirming his identity, he closed his eyes and acquiesced. pass.

Russell maintained the indifference expected of a star flicker, walked past the blood lion without saying a word, and entered behind the stone door.

There are three stone gates.

The first door is engraved with the coat of arms of the Reiput family, the second is engraved with the gear skull of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the third door is the sacred imperial double-headed eagle.

Such tight confinement shows the human empire's utter hatred and extreme vigilance against dangerous aliens such as the Eldar.

Walking into the secret room behind the three stone doors, the first thing that hits your face is a strong smell of blood that is very different from human blood, but has some uncanny similarities.

Russell looked up and saw dozens of dying humanoid creatures with pointed ears and slender ears nailed to the three walls of the secret room like dried bacon.

It's nailed, not hung.

Each piece was engraved with Gothic poetry, and the black steel drill with the imprint of purity pierced through the shoulder blades, collarbones, pelvises, and knees of these Eldar, turning their tortured and broken bodies like livestock. Nailed and bloody on the wall without dignity.

This is the work of the Inquisitor Blood Lion.

According to Bernadita's intelligence, the ideas espoused by the Blood Lion belong to an extreme branch of the Purity Faction in the Inquisition: the "Exclusive Faction."

The Exclusivists believe in the Imperial Destiny and believe that humans are the natural masters of the galaxy and should be the only masters. Therefore, their methods against all aliens and heresies are extremely dark and cruel, so cruel that even other Inquisitors who are also Purists treat them badly. Feeling disgusted or even frightened.

Russell looked at the carefully cut chest and abdominal cavity of a female Eldar nailed to the wall, as well as the suspicious body glands hanging on both sides of the thighs, and thought that the rumors that the Exclusive Sect was cruel might be a bit conservative.

In this blood-stained room, a prophetess wearing a simple white robe and blindfolded stood in the center of the secret room with bare feet. Her pure white hair and dots of golden light around her body were in harmony with the gloomy and gloomy depression here. The atmosphere seemed out of place.

Alexei turned around, put his hands on his lower abdomen, bent down to Russell, and bowed deeply.

"You're here."

"I'm here." Russell's voice was as ethereal as mist: "I'm not good at interrogating, and these spirit races are dying, and there is no way to interrogate them... What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do it yourself." Alexei showed him a beautiful and pleasing smile and said: "Thanks to the emperor's guidance, I successfully extracted and ate the soul of the Eldar prophet, and thus obtained All the memories of it.”

"In the memory of the Eldar prophet, I discovered something very... incredible, and I think I must tell you about it."

Russell became interested: "Devouring souls? I didn't expect that the emperor's saints would also embark on heresy...tell me, something incredible?"
