Warhammer Inquisitor

Vito sat on the ridge by the lake, looking at the surface of the lake that shone like a mirror, the surface of the lake was continuously rippled by the blowing of the wind, like a piece of twinkling stars under the sun, Uncertain, yet beautiful.

The breeze blows from the lake and blows up along the ridge, and the vegetation is swaying gently in the breeze. These strong lives growing on the ridge sway with the wind, and a beautiful flower grows between the cracks in the rocks. It was a red rose, blooming in its most beautiful colors on a rocky cliff, like the planet itself.

A person passed by the flower, and her fingers slid across the petals, and the beautiful flower swayed gently with her fingers.

Vito looked at the lake, but he didn't seem to notice that she was sitting next to him. She sat on the cliff with Vito, her long silver hair rested on his shoulder, and her hair was as white as snow. Glowing like snow above.

"You are in a bad mood, Vito." Lilith said softly, her voice was as gentle as the breeze in the mountains. Vito sighed and looked up at the sky. The sky in the exhibition was like a painting.

"All my friends are gone, dead or gone, and I am the only one left." Vito said, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Ten thousand years, only You're still here, you should know how I feel."

"Lonely, I know." Lilith said, leaning on Vito's shoulder and pulling his clothes with one hand, her silver hair was also swaying with the wind, bunches swaying in the wind.

"Eternal life is a curse, Lily, you will always watch your friends die one by one, but all you can do is say goodbye, no matter how long or how long they live, but you can only watch them grow old , die, and walk down alone."

Vito sighed softly, looked down at the letter in his hand, "Corax didn't say goodbye when he left, I thought I would want to meet him and have a final chat, but I was wrong , I don't want to at all."

Vito looked at the letter, looked at the familiar font and writing style, "I'm not good at saying goodbye, I've never been good at saying goodbye, I used to attend funerals silently, and then go to the funeral in the crowd, or after people leave Alone in the cemetery doing awkward farewells."

"When Marx died, I also stood under the shade of the tree, waiting for Engels and the others to leave before going up, but I was even a little relieved at the time. I was not there when Marx died, and Engels was not there. We avoided the final tragedy. Farewell to life and death."

He looked at the shining lake, and countless memories came to his mind. His hand was on the ground, Lilith's hand was on the back of his hand, and her fingers were clasped on the back of his hand. Climbing his arms up his head.

Vito smiled and touched her head, "But you are still here, ten thousand years, you are still by my side, I don't need to say goodbye to you, maybe this is a kind of luck."

Lilith cannot be killed, she is a demon, a demon prince, even if she is killed, she will be resurrected in the subspace, which may be a great luck for Vito.

"Do you hate them?" "Who?" "The Emperor and Guilliman."

Vito was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly, "No."

"They blew up Perfect City, so Erebus was able to confuse Lorgar, plot against Horus and lead to the rebellion, why don't you hate them?" Lilith asked softly, leaning on Vito, The warm body temperature passed to Vito's arm through the clothes.

"He's not a good dad, and he's not a good man, I know, I've been with that old bastard for 30,000 years, and he's always come to me for help, and sometimes I've been to him, to be honest, he Don't like me either."

"Then why didn't you listen to Lorgar? Don't listen to her. You can become the Emperor and succeed him. Lorgar and many Primarchs will support you. You are better than him, Vito."

Vito smiled and put his arms around Lilith's shoulders, and he stroked her shoulders, "No, although I don't want to admit it, he is more suitable to be an emperor than me."

"I tried it, Lily, and he was right. My love for my son and daughter will make me unable to do many things, and I will not be able to do many things. Stalin also told me so at the time."

"Joseph was preparing for a major anti-revolutionary campaign. I knew he had to do that, and he could only do that, but I would still persuade him. Even if I knew I couldn't persuade him, I would still persuade him. I don't know not to do that. What should I do, but I will still advise."

"As Joseph said, I am a good man, a good friend who is worth entrusting everything to, but I am not a ruler. My humanity will bind many things."

Lilith leaned against his chest, she adjusted her posture, Vito also hugged her tighter, he smiled and leaned his face on her head, "So I don't hate him, I know he blows up The perfect city was forced, just like when the thunder warriors were eliminated, we were all forced, me, he, Valdor, we all knew we had to do it, especially me. They unified Terra under my command, and I saw it with my own eyes Witnessed, and even ordered with him to remove them."

Vito still remembered everything at that time, the last battle of the Thunder Warriors, that was the first time he saw the emperor's merciless side, even for his own people, and he saw it many times after that.

"When I was in Perfect City, I can imagine his mood at that time. He fought with me, and it was self-repentance for me to beat him to shame. I also know that Guilliman later did the same. I have been fighting Regret, and even fell into an ambush by Lorgar during the rebellion."

"Lily, they are my friends. In fact, I knew them before they were recorded in the world. I saw them being created in the genetic laboratory on Mount Everest. I arranged the security work at that time. I and Valdor designed all the security work, but in the end, I didn't expect that Erda summoned the evil gods, and your sister and the others took those children away."

Vito stroked Lilith's long and well-trimmed silver hair. Lilith didn't speak, but leaned against his chest and listened quietly.

"I asked Neda why she did that. She said that she didn't want her children to become his tools, weapons and murder tools. She told me that I knew this better than her. What kind of old bastard is that? people."

"Of course I know, it's been 30,000 years, we've been together for 30,000 years, I still remember the first time we met on Mount Sinai, that idiot was wearing a turban like a charlatan, although some In a sense it does.”

Vito laughed, and even Lilith was amused, he looked at the churning lake, looked at the flickering ripples and flashes, "We have cooperated in many things, we have killed demons and dragons together, we have planned and Witnessed and promoted the occurrence of many major events, I dare say that no one in this galaxy knows him better than me."

"Because of this, I hate him, and even fight with him sometimes, he always, we are like two bad friends, each other does not like each other, but if we find each other and ask for help, then neither of us Will reject each other, even if they will still scold each other like that, and even cut each other with knives."

"For 30,000 years, I have lived my whole life and he is my only true friend. Can you imagine? In 30,000 years, only this idiot knew you, knew your past, and you knew his. The two were brothers and sisters. "

"I know that although the old bastard said that he didn't care, he opened his mouth to reason and kept his mouth shut to the truth, but in fact he still had the emotions he should have in his heart. No matter how much he deceived himself, kept suppressing and hiding, but that bastard's heart is also meat Long, at least until he sits on the throne."

"Although we are immortals, we are human beings after all. We also have the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. It's just that our power will be more powerful in many cases, such as the dark side, and the dozen or so children are the same."

Vito laughed mockingly and rubbed his neck, "That old man said he was merciless, but after Erda made the Primarch Plan an accident, he didn't execute Erda, even Valdo suggested Youda rectified the law on the spot, after all, she colluded with the Chaos God, so it is a capital crime anyway."

"But he let her go, just let her go to Africa to live in seclusion, and even let me visit her. Although the old bastard didn't say anything, he still wanted to know how she was. After all, he was still a human being. , a person with supernatural power, but still a person, I know better than anyone."

"We are friends, friends of 30,000 years, only we have walked together for 30,000 years, many of our friends have died, many mutual friends have passed away, we will attend funerals together, mourn for them together. "

"So I rejected you and your sister, and I rejected Lorgar. I will not kill him and replace him. On the one hand, it is because he is more suitable to be a leader than me. On the other hand, it is also because he is my friend. My friend, I know him and trust him."

Just for a promise, a promise he made to a friend, that's all.

Vito smiled wryly, recalling many memories, "I also refused Horus to pull me into the group, because I know Horus, he is not more suitable to be a leader than his father, I know very well, he is too proud and values ​​himself too much He will not live under others, whether it is the Emperor or Chaos, and in the end he will fight Chaos again after winning, and in a few generations will destroy the entire human civilization and even the Milky Way.”

"The prophecy of the secret religion is correct, Lily, I know very well, I know him and them."

"So I helped him guard Terra and protect the imperial palace. I want to protect humans, protect all my friends, Hindman, Qi Le and others, those ordinary people, they are also my friends."

"I have been trying to bridge the conflict between them. They are all my friends. I hope they can understand each other and go on together, just like me and the Emperor. We can still walk together."

"But I failed, and once again I watched my friends kill each other, kill each other, Ferrus, Alpha and Coz, Angel, Lily, it hurts my heart, I don't want to see my friends attacking each other."

"It's not your fault, Vito, it's not yours, it's mine." Lilith clenched Vito's clothes tightly, she hesitated to speak, and cursed in a low voice, while Vito smiled, "No, I know you No, your sister is not all, Chaos bewitches the heart, but the premise of the bewitchment is that the relationship has already fallen apart, and the root cause is ourselves, simply blaming Chaos is avoiding responsibility and lying to ourselves."

"This kind of self-deception has led to similar things happening repeatedly. I don't want to evade this responsibility, and I don't want to blame them. I know they are all right."

"No, Vito. I was the one who found her and suggested that you replace Horus as the Emperor." Lilith said, she just said without looking into Vito's eyes.

"I know I was supposed to just tempt you, fall like everyone else, and join the Rebel side, but"

"I know, girl, I know, in fact, Horus himself has looked for me, not only you and her, Horus wants me to be his Malcador, Hand of the Empire, I also refused, I will not Those who betrayed him, and they."

Vito looked at the sky above his head, at the beautiful sky and the picturesque world. His weather-beaten eyes contained the entire history of human civilization, so many forgotten stories and truths.

His black eyes reflect the light of the sky like a mirror, a mirror that sees the soul.

"I don't know what they'll say about my work." "Good job?" "Ha, no, Guilliman will probably laugh first, then point at me and give me a good reprimand, and then say, Grandpa Get out, I'm coming."

Vito smiled, putting his arms around Lilith's shoulders, "At least you've been with me for ten thousand years, and you probably won't spray me."

Lilith smiled and leaned against him, "Not for now."

Vito also smiled and leaned his head on her head.

He hugged her arm, sitting on the high ridge, the sun illuminated their bodies, and the breeze blew their hair, making this scene like a beautiful painting, like an eternal picture scroll.
