Warhammer Inquisitor

Vito has been in many caves in his life, big ones, small ones, medium ones, famous ones and not famous ones, most of them have the same characteristics, eerie, cold and damp.

The Inquisitor's boots stepped on the cold rock, the bright flashlight illuminated the front of the cave, and that ample light shone on those black cave rocks by the lake, and the sound of groundwater came from the distant darkness in the distance. It was like a burst of ethereal whispers.

The damp cave is also very cold, with gusts of cool wind blowing through the cave from nowhere, coupled with the coldness here, people can't help but tremble and feel restless. No wonder the children say that only the brave dare to come here.

Vito's hand was on the butt of the bolter, he walked in the cave, Lilith walked briskly on the other side as if walking, although it might be because she didn't wear a weapon, what? Don't worry, she doesn't need those weapons, and you know why.

The tall giant bent down and walked behind him. The lamp on Lancelot's helmet lit up the dark cave, and the children surrounded the knight, leading them forward with laughter and laughter, without even a hint of fear. nothing.

I don’t know whether to say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or they are really brave. This ghost place is definitely an uncomfortable place. Even Vito, who has been to many worse places, also feels instinctive about this place uneasiness.

There seems to be a kind of power here, a kind of power that people can't tell what it is, but it actually exists, making your heart numb and feel like a light on your back.

The judge's eyes swept across the stone cone above his head, dripping stream water dripping from it, perhaps the result of water seeping from the lake above, or it could be caused by the underground river itself.

In any case, it was very wet here, and the ground was so slippery that Vito almost slipped a few times. He scanned every corner and every crevice of the cave with a flashlight.

"It makes people restless here, judge." Lancelot's voice came from behind, he spoke in a high Gothic language that the children could not understand. Before that, they talked with local people except knights and nobles It's all Low Gothic, the only language their level of education understands.

But now, Lancelot was speaking Gothic, a language reserved only for the nobles and dignitaries, a language that only Vito and Lilith could understand at the scene.

"Indeed, this place is not a good place, there is an ominous atmosphere everywhere." Vito said, pointing the flashlight to a dark corner, where a mouse crawled over the rock with flowing water, at least, Vito thinks it should be mouse.

"There is a dark and ominous atmosphere here, no wonder the locals don't like to come here, of course, except for these children." Vito said, turning his head and glanced at the lively children.

They are lucky, young but pure souls prevent them from being affected by the breath here, and pure things will not be corrupted by things in the dark.

But Vito and Lancelot are different. Their souls have already experienced many things, and they are no longer pure in the dark galaxy, so they can feel the power here and the ominous atmosphere here.

Lancelot observed the surroundings from behind the helmet. The infrared night vision function equipped with the Space Marine helmet allowed him to see everything around him clearly, seeing those exposed rocks, flowing streams, and rodents running in the shadows. class stuff.

Lancelot's superhuman senses could sense their squeaks, as well as the eyes watching intruders in the dark. s position.

He couldn't tell what the ominous aura here was, it didn't feel like chaos, the aura here didn't have that kind of strong emotional guiding effect, nor did it have the pure instinctive reaction of the Tyranids, but a kind of... people can't tell It feels like the darkness of the universe itself.

Lancelot followed and jumped down a rocky step, and he stood up slowly. The wide space here finally allowed the space warrior to stand upright.

Then he saw the huge steel walls and gates of the "temple".

Lancelot raised his head, and the light on his helmet moved up to illuminate the iron door. It was a huge steel door. The gray-black door was like the rock itself. The huge door and its wall Embedded together in the rock wall, as if part of the thing itself.

The children also jumped down. They ran up and patted Lancelot's leg armor, pointing to the side excitedly, "Angel! Where is he!"

Both Lancelot and Vito looked over, and the two lights illuminated the angel, and illuminated the giant sitting slumped in an underground spring.

The giant in gray-black powered armor and a bird-shaped helmet was sitting by the pool water, a little bit of light from the towering rock wall shone on the spring water, and the cold light reflected on the water surface also hit him.

Lancelot stepped up and stood in front of the warrior. The Caliban knight took off his helmet and squatted down in front of the ancient warrior.

He watched him hang his head, and he knew that this warrior had already returned to the golden throne, but his eternal armor was his coffin, and he stored it forever in this dark underground, guarding the entrance of the battleship .

Vito went up, he came to Lancelot and looked at the ancient warrior, he didn't need Lancelot to tell him that he was dead.

Because the model of its armor is very old, far older than the models of most of the current warbands, the reason is simple, because this is the model of Power Armor in the era of the Great Crusade.

Today only a handful of Space Marine Chapters hold and equip it to maintain its existence, and Vito was last seen wearing it during the Badab War.

But this armor, no, none of the Chapters will have it, never will.

This is the armor of the Raven Guard, the Raven Guard armor from the age of the Great Crusade.

Vito's flashlight illuminated the shoulder armor that was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the logo of his legion was still engraved on it. The logo of glory accompanied him through his life, and also accompanied him in the dark Thousands of years have passed in it.

"Rest in peace, my brother." Lancelot said, pressing the Raven Guard's shoulder.

"He fell asleep, just like we told you." The little boy came up and said, he looked at the soldier curiously, Vito looked at him and smiled, then looked back at the Raven Guard, "Yes, now , he went to the Emperor's side in a dream."

The little boy obviously didn't understand much, Vito turned to Lilith and nodded slightly, "Open the door."

She nodded, and Lilith looked at the giant steel gate and raised a finger. She pointed at the gate, and a powerful force acted on the giant gate. All the dust, dust and cobwebs began to collapse, and soon The fastest is the twisting of the steel itself and the sound of metal breaking.

The fixing bolts shattered and fell off in invisible places, and there was a loud bang when the fixing frame of the iron door toppled and collapsed.

The children surrounded Lilith and watched curiously and excitedly. They watched Lilith's eyes flash with purple light. She watched the children smile and stretched out all five fingers. The powerful force began to pull the door panel of the giant door. Following Lilith's sudden pull, the Steel Gate collapsed to the ground.

The huge door toppled outwards, and Lilith dragged the door with her palm. She raised the iron door and slowly put it aside, revealing the deep darkness in the battleship.

Vito turned and walked to the inside of the battleship. Lilith also touched a child's head and followed them. The curious children immediately prepared to follow them, but they were stopped by the tall giant just two steps away.

Lancelot stood in front of them and signaled them to stop, and the children looked at him complaining, "We are going too!" "Yes! We have never entered the temple of angels!"

"Do you want to be the emperor's knights?" Lancelot asked, and the children nodded after looking at each other. "The most important thing for a knight is to obey orders. Now I order you to stay here and guard the gate. I appointment"

Lancelot looked at the child who told himself that there was an angel here, he cleared his throat, and looked at him pretending to be serious, "In the name of Lion King Ryan and the Emperor, I appoint you as the captain of this team, execute Command, Commander."

"Obey! Master Knight!" The child also raised his wooden stick and pretended to be serious to accept the appointment, and then began to command his companions. The boy scouts began to "guard" around, at least they were very happy.

Lancelot looked at them and smiled, put on his helmet and walked into the dark battleship.

Outside, the children immediately started the "guarding mission". The sentry child walked comically with a wooden stick, and walked up to the Raven Guard soldier as if playing around. He looked at his shoulder armor covered in dust. part.

He jumped up to wipe off the dust on the armor, and then looked at the numbers on it curiously, "What is this?"

"Tell you not to study hard, how can you be a good knight if you can't even count?" The team leader came up and said, the child muttered angrily, "There are many knights who can't count."

The captain looked at the shoulder armor and became contemplative. The children gathered around and looked at the logo on the shoulder armor. Under the booing of the children, the captain finally remembered the arrangement of Roman numerals taught by his tutor and recognized the numbers. name.

Roman numeral, one.

"One! That's right!" The team leader said proudly, and then encountered various problems from his partners.

"Who is he? What does one mean?" "Yes, yes! Is this his honorary title? Number one! Always number one!"

All kinds of questions from his companions made him yell annoyedly, and he interrupted them by waving his stick, "I don't know! Go back to your post! I'm the captain!"

He drove his friends back to their posts, and he also ran away to fulfill his duties as the captain.

He doesn't know, none of them know who the famous fighter belongs to, but we do.

Veteran of the 1st Company of the Raven Guard, an ancient warrior of the Primarch's own Honor Guard, he has watched here, in the darkness, for thousands of years.
