Warhammer Inquisitor

Magnus stood in this small circular waiting hall, where there are exquisite statues, exquisite murals hanging on the walls and colorful mosaic puzzles under his feet. From various angles, this place is a beautiful place. The place is a lifelong painstaking effort of a master craftsman.

In fact, this entire palace was built to welcome the emperor, yes, to welcome the supreme leader of the human empire, the writer of the empire's truth, the initiator of the Great Crusade, the person who admired reason and knowledge, etc. Emperors with such titles, the Imperial Fist and the Iron Warriors worked together for the first time to build this palace.

Yes, you heard that right, since the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fist have joined forces, and have not fought before or during the process, whether it is their fighters, their leading officers, or even their Primarch Rogg Both Donne and Perturabo have been surprisingly restrained.

After all, it's not surprising. With the emperor coming soon, the two legions are still fighting among themselves, which will only make the two primarchs and their heirs lose face in front of the emperor, and not only the emperor , but humiliated in front of all the remaining sixteen expeditionary forces and the remaining Primarchs who came to gather.

Therefore, Roger Dorn, who values ​​honor, and Perturabo, who abides by the way of fame, let go of their hostility towards each other and joined hands to build this Holy Flame Palace under the condition of "loving each other as much as possible". for the arrival of the Emperor.

But Magnus can see that even so, the contest between them has never stopped. Everything here is extremely luxurious, using the life-long painstaking efforts of many skilled craftsmen, and even a lot of building materials are not at all. This galaxy is not even found in the adjacent star fields. In order to achieve perfection, they can overwhelm each other in front of the emperor. The Imperial Fist and Iron Warriors can also spend their money.

The result is satisfactory, everything here is resplendent and magnificent, especially the statues. Roger Dorn has a master builder named Valhos Catrymp, a mortal, if Magnus If memory serves, he is famous for his skill in carving sculptures.

Magnus had the honor of admiring many of his works, and even in the great library on Prospero stood a gigantic statue of a meditating scholar, made by Master Valhos, Magnus was deeply impressed by the lifelike statue with all the details like a real person, so he could recognize the statue in front of him at a glance, it was made by Master Valhos.

There is also a statue standing in this waiting hall, which is the statue of the emperor. The tall human lord sits on a rock and wears a simple scholar's robe, holding a book in his hand and looking at it thoughtfully. There are many books stacked on the stone beside him.

"It's ironic." Magnus thought to himself, this statue portrayed the emperor as a erudite lord who pursued knowledge and mysteries, but today in this palace, he will be judged for his pursuit, Magnus looked at the statue, whose existence was an almost silent irony, wondering how the Emperor would feel if he saw it.

"Hey, Magnus, what are you still doing here?" A voice sounded from the side, and Magnus turned his head to see that Vito was coming in through the golden gate on the side of the waiting hall, dressed casually as always. Sexy clothing, a black jacket and denim trousers, with a bolter hanging loosely around his waist.

"You are about to stand in front of all the Primarchs and the Emperor, yet you still dress so casually? What about the Marshal uniform that Fulgrim gave you?"

"That thing? Forget it, I might as well wear a breastplate for that uniform, it's too heavy, and besides, you are all my friends, do I have to be so fake?" Vito smiled. Walking over, he walked up to Magnus, glanced at the statue of the Emperor, and then smiled with one hand on his hip.

"Okay, this guy may need to think about it temporarily, but anyway, this is just a group of friends chatting about some issues."

After hearing this, Magnus turned his head and smiled bitterly, he sighed softly, "Maybe it is for you, but maybe not for me, this is a trial, Vito, yes For my trial, the people in it are the judge and the jury, and even the executioner, I'm sure Ruth is already sharpening his knife and can't wait."

"That's enough, Magnus, things won't go to that point, I promise." Vito said and held down the scarlet giant's leg armor. The latter turned his head slightly and looked at Vito in silence. Only then did I speak.

"Vito, promise me that if things really get to that point, don't fight with other people because of me. It's good for you and all mankind."

"I said, we won't go any farther, come on, we should go in." Vito said not to let Magnus continue the topic, he pushed the door ahead with both hands, and the eagle The wooden door full of exquisite patterns was suddenly pushed open by Vito's spiritual power.

The people behind the gate were immediately attracted by the sound of the door opening. The double-opening door panels hit the doorposts on both sides, and the rumbling sound quickly resounded throughout the circular Senate-style hall. They were standing in the open space in the middle of the circular steps talking Leman Russ, Ryan and Sanguinius all looked over.

Vito strode into the hall, followed by Magnus into the stepped hall. He looked around at the brothers standing on the long and wide platform, Perturabo, Horus, Rogal Dorn, Guilliman, Alpha and Omega, Fulgrim, Curze, Fulgan and others were all present. The tall Primarchs were standing in their gorgeous or simple armors. around the stairs.

All the eighteen Primarchs, including Magnus, who have expanded their territories throughout the galaxy and fought for mankind in all directions, are all summoned here. At this moment, here, this A few days ago, it was still unknown, and even few people knew its name. Star Mikaia suddenly became the absolute power core of the entire empire.

Magnus looked around at his brothers, they were all standing on the stairs looking down at him, which made Magnus laugh mockingly, he slightly turned his head to look at Vito, "Are you sure Isn't this a trial?"

"This is a trial. We will make a verdict for your dangerous behavior, and then decide how to deal with you." Wolf King Riemann, who was wearing gray-white power armor, was engraved with countless Loen runes and Fenris patterns. Ruth put his arms around his arms and said, his mouth was full of fangs as he spoke.

But compared to other fangs, the Dionysus spear on his back is his real fangs. Magnus looked at Riemann and sneered, and he also put his arms in his arms, "Then you Why not just pass the verdict and execute me?"

"Oh, I'm very happy, Magnus." Riemann walked forward as if threatening, but before taking two steps, he was pulled by Sanguinius behind him, with white wings and waves Sanguinius with long golden hair stepped forward, and he grabbed Riemann's arm.

"Enough, Riemann, we are here for fair exchanges and discussions, not for you to threaten our brothers with knives and guns." The holy archangel said, Vito looked at the golden body The power battle armor, the armor was branded with three blood-red Eye of Terra gemstones on the chest, that finishing touch made the armor almost perfect, just like what he was wearing.

Leman Russ made a disdainful cut, he turned around and glanced at Sanguinius next to him, and then at Magnus, "If you want me to say, what is there to discuss, this kid is Playing with fire is still the kind that will burn us all to death, we should punish him directly."

"But fortunately, you are not the one who makes the decision, Riemann, now shut your mouth and get out of here and stand up." Vito said as he slightly turned his head and gestured for the stairs on one side. The Wolf King looked at Vito angrily. Baring his teeth, like an enraged wild wolf, but in the end he couldn't do it, turned around and walked up the long steps directly.

Sanguinius looked at Riemann's back and sighed helplessly, then nodded friendly to Vito and Magnus beside him, and then walked up the steps himself. After the Archangel walked up, he was silent The king of knights, Lion Lion of Caliban, also turned his head and looked at each other with Vito.

The Lion King pressed his knight sword, and looked at Vito silently, but Ryan nodded after the two silently exchanged glances. At the same time, there was a heavy collision on the central platform behind the Lion King. The sound of the ground, the dull impact quickly attracted the attention of all the primarchs around.

All the people present looked up, and between the golden gauze curtain hanging from the high platform and the lion statues squatting on both sides, Valdo, the commander of the imperial army, was holding the shining spear that was called the sister spear of Riemann. Spear came out, and he stepped onto the ledge, standing on the edge of the railing and looking down at the Primarchs below.

The commander-in-chief of the imperial army struck the ground with his spear again, the voice was low and majestic, after making sure that everyone was quiet and focused, Valdor stepped aside sideways, "The emperor and the horses Prime Minister Cardo is here."

The Primarchs surrounding the steps of the high platform stared at the arch, and soon there was a sound of heavy but majestic footsteps, a tall figure emerged from the door, he bent slightly to let himself Burly bodies taller than the Primarchs could emerge from behind the door.

That man, the man with long dark brown hair and light-colored chocolate-like skin stood on the high platform, his golden eyes stared at the people around him, those golden eyes and the shining halo behind his head were enough Make anyone intimidated, even kneel down involuntarily.

In fact, it was true. All the Primarchs in the hall knelt down before the golden stalwart figure, except for Magnus and Vito who were on the ground in the center.

Vito did not kneel, but saluted the man with a standard military salute. The golden man on the high platform smiled slightly, and he looked down at Vito, "Is there any reason why you didn't choose to kneel? Marshal, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Dissatisfaction? It depends on which part you start with, but no, it has nothing to do with my reasons for not kneeling. I am a soldier, so standing and saluting is more suitable for me." Vito raised his arms, his mouth full of sarcasm. Said, to be honest, the only one who dared to fight with the Emperor in front of all the Primarchs around him was Vito Neng.

The emperor was still smiling, and then he turned his head to look at Magnus beside Vito. At the same time, Malcador, who was holding the scepter of the burning eagle, also came out from behind the emperor. The flaming staff of the golden eagle stood at the Emperor's side.

The aged old man seemed to have difficulty walking, but his eyes still had the enthusiasm of a young man. Under the old body, there was an eternal fire of power burning. The prime minister who is in charge of the entire empire's administrative system can even be said to be the only existence that holds the greatest power like Vito besides the emperor himself.

Because of this, most of the statues and paintings in the empire have the emperor in the middle, Vitor on the left, and Malcador on the right, so you can see his high status enough.

"Marshal Vito doesn't kneel down because he is a soldier, what about you? Magnus, why are you?" The emperor still asked kindly, although Magnus couldn't hear the words. It's too fake to express any sincerity, it's just a fake show.

Magnus stood upright facing the emperor, his red-gold one eye looked up at the emperor on the stage, "I am the scapegoat, now that I have walked in here, what am I going to do, how can I do it, what can I do?" If you can’t do it, it’s all up to you, the most expensive emperor.”

Vito could hear that the last sentence was full of irony, and everyone could hear it. The Primarchs who were still kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and Russ clenched his fists directly, as if immediately, as long as the emperor As soon as the emperor gave an order, he would rush forward and tear this disrespectful person to pieces.

But the emperor didn't do that, he just smiled lightly, and then slightly raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, "Okay, get up, don't let Magnus stand alone."

All the tall pristines present stood up. When these tall giants rose together, they looked like a rising mountain range. Vito looked around at the people around him. After getting up, Ryan nodded slightly to Vito and stepped on the He took the sword of the lion king up the stairs on one side, and he stood beside Horus and Lorgar.

The emperor stood on the high platform in the middle of the steps on both sides. He slightly raised his head and raised his hands to signal. He first glanced at Magnus and the steps on his side with his left hand, "We are here again today, yes In order to discuss and decide whether to retain the existence of the think tank, and whether to allow research on subspace psychic powers, the supporters include Magnus who founded the think tank and first initiated the research privately, and Sanguinius and Sanguinius who supported him. Khan."

Vito glanced slightly at Jaghatai standing at the top of the steps on the left. Khan, the leader of the White Scars, the eagle on the Chogris Plateau was leaning against a stone pillar, and one of his hands gently Pressing on the scimitar hanging at the side of his waist, his fingers touched the silver horse hilt.

Khan glanced at the emperor, he didn't listen to his father's respect as a son, but nodded to Vito, the emperor may have noticed this move, maybe he didn't, but he finally chose to ignore Khan demonstrations.

The emperor raised his right hand and signaled to the people on the other side of the seat, "There are those who oppose the think tank and the study of the subspace, Russ, Perturabo and Mortarion, now, let them speak separately, I will listen to the voice of wisdom and reason and make a decision."

"Let's start with Magnus. After all, everything is caused by you. Marshal, please step aside." The emperor looked at Vito and said, he waved his finger gently, and Vito had no choice Confrontation, he put his arms around his arms and nodded to Magnus, then walked aside.

Vito leaned on one side of the stairs, and on the first step behind him stood Fulgrim and Curze, the purple phoenix and the night bat stood on one side, and on the steps behind them were the others Primarch, they all listened in silence, even the impatient Russ fell silent before the Emperor.

Magnus sighed for a long time, and he firmly raised his head to look at the emperor in front of him, "My lord, you used to have psychic communication with me when I was a child, when the Great Crusade just started. The remote projection and precepts and deeds taught me many things, and if you don’t offend brothers, you and I are the first to know and know each other.”

"Do you still remember the day you came to Prospero? We embraced each other like two old friends, talking about knowledge and the sea of ​​stars in the library, do you remember all that?"

"Of course I remember, Magnus, I remember everything." The emperor said calmly, the calmness in his words was like a sea without waves, smooth as a mirror, without even a single wave, it's hard for you to judge Find out what the emperor is thinking now, he hides his heart very well.

Magnus nodded. He gave up thinking about the emperor a long time ago. That's not what he likes to do. It's more like a court jester or a flattering courtier, trying to win a little from his father. Appreciation, he knew that other brothers were doing this, but Magnus would not, what he pursued from the beginning was only one thing, not fame and power, but knowledge.

"Then you must still remember that on that day, in the big library, you told me to bravely explore this dangerous galaxy. Everything in this universe, even if it is dangerous, as long as it can be used by human beings, it should be actively explored." Exploring, do you remember, my lord."

"I remember, Magnus, I remember what happened and what I told you."

"Then my lord, this is what I want to tell you. I created the think tank to study the technology of the Warp because it can be used by humans, just like you told me."

"Then you must still remember that I also told you that the subspace is extremely dangerous, you should not touch those dangerous things, things that will bring disaster, child, I have lived for a long time, and I have been pursuing science all my life And the truth, if there is one most important thing I have learned in my life, it is that it is better not to understand some things, and some things should not leave the shadows."

Magnus took a step forward, looked up at the high emperor and said excitedly, "But I discovered that subspace can be used! It can be used not only in space navigation, but in many ways! Energy, medicine and even science and technology, subspace can subvert and create new laws of physics, which can completely transform our civilization! Just like the Eldar!"

"I must remind you, brother, the Eldar were destroyed by abusing the warp. They destroyed their own empire with their own hands. Do you think we will do the same?" Perturabo said loudly, his voice instantly Overpowering Magnus' voice, the latter turned to look at his brother and frowned.

"That's Eldar abuse, and we can study it, understand it, and make the Warp work for us!"

"On Fenris, there is a story about an old hunter who retrieved a motherless megalodon from an ice field, believing he could raise and tame the beast so that it It can be of great help when the tribe is hunting, so that they can store sufficient food in winter without starving."

Riemann stood on the steps with his hands in his arms and said, he looked at Magnus below and said slowly, "People in the tribe warned him that the megalodon cannot be tamed at all, it will only grow up After eating him, the hunter rejected the advice of his fellow tribe, and stubbornly took the beast back to the tribe to take care of it and bring it up, he thought he had tamed the beast.”

"That was true at first, but eventually one day the hunter didn't leave the house for several days, and the tribe was never heard from again, and other tribes nearby sent people to look for them, and they did find the hunter and the men of the tribe, and found took their bones, and the megalodon that ate them."

Magnus watched Riemann frowned, and the latter waved his hands. He looked at the Red Giant with disdain in his eyes, "And you, Magnus, are just as stubborn as that old hunter. To tame that beast, you end up killing yourself, and everyone in this hall."

"But maybe it's just that the old hunter didn't find the right way? Everything has two sides, good and evil coexist, and nothing is irresistible." The noble archangel Sanguinius said slightly as he spread his wings and looked around. brethren, with a voice full of the voice of mercy.

"Some people once thought that my children and the Ninth Legion were a group of hopeless ghouls, tormented by blood thirst. Everyone advised me to give up on them, but I didn't. I and my children After defeating the curse of blood thirst, they are no longer crazy monsters, but a group of noble warriors."

Sanguinius looked at Ruth and said, the white wings behind him opened and closed slightly, and a reassuring light radiated from them, "Nothing is impossible, I can do this, Magnus We can do it, we should trust him, trust our brother."

"On Chogris, all the children of nomads know that to survive on the grassland, you must learn everything, adapt to the worst climate, and learn all the things you have never learned." Khan leaned on the pillar and slowly When he spoke, his words were short, but full of power.

"Does this include those dangerous ones?" Mortarion, who was wearing a breathing mask, said hoarsely, his pale skin shrouded under the gray-green coat cloak, and Mortarion used an extremely low voice, as if Said a voice like sandpaper.

"In my legion, there used to be psykers. They avoided my attention and secretly studied the art of warp space, hoping to help the legion in the war, but the only result they achieved was that they summoned, But the uncontrollable chaotic energy of the warp killed them, and the whole crew."

Mortarion growled, as if he was threatening someone, he looked at Khan on the opposite side, and then lowered his head to Magnus below, "The energy of the subspace is beyond control, and Not that you tried, Magnus, in fact we don't need the Warp, and from a materialistic scientific point of view we can also invent technology that can replace the Warp, just like the Golden Age."

"But you can't ignore the existence of the subspace! They exist objectively, just like light and shadow, they are always accompanied by existence, you can't eliminate the shadow, no matter how much you ignore it, it will still be behind you after all." Magnu Si said loudly, and Roger Dorn beside him suddenly spoke slowly in a calm, emotionless voice like an emperor.

"Then we need to ignore it, so that this dangerous existence will not threaten the expedition and mankind, let it be forgotten." "No! We can't forget it! Even if we forget the subspace, the things in it will not Forget about us! They will come to the door by themselves, we must face the threat of those evil gods! Learn how to fight them!"

"What god? Brother, what are you talking about?" Lorgar, who had been listening quietly and fingering the rosary, suddenly asked, he was very confused and puzzled, "You mean God? What is it?" God?"

"You don't know? He didn't tell you? In the warp there is" "Enough! Magnus." The Emperor suddenly interrupted Magnus, looking down at his son. called the words of his son.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the stern Emperor. The Primarchs all looked at the obviously irritated Emperor and remained silent. No one dared to speak, and everyone just looked at him.

The Emperor also looked at them, and Malcador, who was standing aside before he was about to speak, patted the Emperor's arm with his scepter lightly, and he motioned the Emperor to come closer to him, he had something to say.

The tall emperor looked at his old friend, then he knelt down without hesitation, knelt down beside Malcador and put his ear close to his face, while Malcador stepped forward, speaking in a low voice, that The sound was so small that only the Emperor could hear it.

"Do you still remember the report the day before they were taken away by Chaos? The day before Erda opened the rift, Dr. Astarte sent it, which showed that the original body was affected by 40% of the subspace, Does this mean that Magnus is so keen on the power of the warp?"

"I understand what you mean, Malcador, I know what to do." The Emperor raised a hand to signal Malcador to stop, then he stood up and looked down at the crowd, the Emperor looked around them and then He raised his head slightly.

He looked at Magnus below with golden eyes, and his majestic face was enough to make the Primarch feel intimidated. The Emperor raised a hand as if to pronounce the sentence, "I have listened to your words. opinion, and now I shall pass judgment."

"My verdict is to disband all legion think tanks, strictly prohibit subspace-related research, and destroy all materials and existing research records after a thorough investigation."

"My lord! You can't!" Magnus stepped forward as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped immediately under the staring eyes of the emperor. He froze in place, looking up at the majestic emperor .

"This is my verdict. I cannot allow such a dangerous thing to threaten mankind. The subspace must be completely forgotten. Hand over all your research resources."

"No! Never! I will not allow it!" Magnus yelled, and the Emperor took a step forward and glared at him, "Are you trying to disobey? Magnus, are you disobeying me? "

The emperor said loudly, and Riemann on the side immediately drew out the Dionysian spear and strode down, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to step forward to execute Magnus on the spot, but at this moment Vito suddenly rushed out, and he pulled out The bolter pointed one hand at Riemann's head, and swung the other hand violently. The mechanical arm broke through the clothes in an instant and slid out the shining plasma cannon, aiming at Waldo who was holding a spear.

Seeing this situation, the emperor raised his hand to block Valdo, and the commander of the imperial army stopped immediately after hitting the emperor's arm. He glanced at the emperor, and then looked at Vito below with his spear.

"Vito! Get out of the way, or I'll stab you through!" Leman Russ yelled at Vito, and the latter glared at Riemann in turn. His eyes were not inferior to the anger of the wolf king. .

"You fucking shut up! Get the hell out of here, you husky!" Vito cursed angrily and turned his head to look at the emperor in front of him. He and the emperor looked at each other. Those two twins who created the empire The Yuan leaders looked into each other's eyes.

The surrounding Primarchs all looked at each other, seeming a little at a loss. Among them, Ryan subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and planned to go to the Frontline King, but at this moment the new Warmaster Horus immediately played a role. He strode forward to the center of the square and yelled at the brothers around him.

"Everyone, calm down! Riemann returns to his position, and Vito puts away his weapon!" Horus looked at the two and shouted loudly. Riemann glanced at Horus, then at Vito, and then The reporter looked at Leman Russ and was silent for a while, then slowly lowered his gun.

The plasma cannon in Vito's other hand was also put into his arm at once, and the situation was instantly brought under control, but Riemann did not put down his spear. He turned his head and looked at the emperor for a sign, and the latter glanced at Riemann. Wei Wei waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and the wolf king retreated to his position without thinking again.

The emperor slightly raised his head and looked down at Vito, "Do you have any suggestions? Marshal Vito, suggestions on how to deal with Magnus." , he was emotional just now, and the mistakes he committed are not to blame."

"For his disobedience? This is undoubtedly a traitor!" Ruth clenched his fists and roared, but Sanguinius, who was opposite him, flew down the steps, and he flapped his wings and landed gently on Magnus Beside him, the Archangel held Magnus' shoulders and looked at the Emperor.

"I also support the Marshal's suggestion, my lord, forgive Magnus for his unintentional offense just now." Sanguinius said in an extremely loving voice, just like a real brother who cares about his brother.

The emperor looked into the eyes of the leader of his Ninth Legion. They were a pair of extremely beautiful eyes. The tall and stalwart lord was silent for a moment, and then looked at Horus, "What is your opinion, Warmaster."

"I agree with Sanguinius, my lord, forgive Magnus, I am willing to guarantee him the title of Warmaster." Horus said without hesitation, which surprised Vito, he turned his head to look at Xiang Horus looked shocked, not only him, Guilliman and Ryan both showed quite shocked expressions.

Because Horus has always longed for the title of Warmaster, he competed with Guilliman and Raun for a long time, and finally got it with great difficulty after almost dying on Ullanor. , but was willing to use that title to save Magnus.

This action of Horus attracted the approval of many brothers present. The Lord of Fire Dragons, the tallest Primarch Vulkan present, took the lead in nodding in agreement. The Lord of Fire Dragons looked at the Emperor with his fiery eyes, and his voice It is also as vigorous as a fire dragon, "I agree with the Marshal's suggestion, my lord, on behalf of my legion and myself, I ask you to forgive our brothers for their unintentional actions."

The remaining Primarchs, they all admired Horus' nobility, selflessness and bravery. Fulgrim, Horus' close friend, nodded first, followed by Fulgrim's good brother Fei. Russ also nodded in approval. In the end, most of the Primarchs nodded silently to express their support, and those who had doubts about this, such as Mortarion, also chose to remain silent.

The Emperor looked around at the Primarchs around him, and finally nodded after some thought. He raised his eyes and looked at Magnus below, "Then do as they said, hand over your research data, and let the rest go."

Magnus didn't intend to do that, he wouldn't hand over the information, but when he was about to protest again, Vito stopped him with his eyes, Vito looked at Magnus's one-eyed and shook his head slightly, " For my sake, Magnus, don't do anything stupid."

Vito said softly, and Sanguinius and Horus, who also heard the words, turned their heads to look at the red Cyclops. Magnus lowered his head and struggled for a moment in pain. He clenched his fists and looked like It was like crushing a planet, but in the end, Magnus let go of that fist.

Magnus sighed heavily and slowly raised his head. He looked into the Emperor's eyes and nodded wearily, "I will hand over the information, and I promise to give up everything. Does this satisfy you? ? Your lord the Emperor."

"That's enough, the meeting is over." The emperor turned and left immediately after speaking. He walked into the archway behind him without saying a word and left. Malcador also turned and left after looking at Vito. Then there was Valdor, and the Primarchs all over the hall left after the Emperor left.

Horus looked at the brothers coming out of the door one by one, he turned his head and gave Sanguinius a slight nod, and then went out with Lorgar who was waiting at the door.

The rookie Warmaster disappeared on the edge of the gate together with Lorgar. Sanguinius watched Horus disappear with a long sigh. He patted Magnus on the shoulder and said softly, "I'm sorry , bro, but, you've done everything you can."

"Let's go, Sanguinius, let me be alone for a while." Magnus whispered, his voice was hoarse and deep, Sanguinius turned and left after a little silence, the archangel closed his Wings left sadly.

In the end, Vito was the only one left, he looked at Magnus beside him and was silent for a moment, then turned and prepared to leave, but just as he took a few steps, he was stopped by Magnus who turned his head slightly, "Vito. "

Vito stopped, he stopped a few steps behind Magnus, "What?" "Tell me, he sent you and Russ to kill Halifax, and his Second Legion , Is it for the same reason? Because he has the same thirst for knowledge as I do? He also has the same. Has he found something that makes him uneasy?"

Vito was silent for a long time, he stood there like a statue, a statue that could not speak, it took a while for Vito to speak, he put his hands in his pockets and said slowly, "The subspace is very Danger, when you were born, when Chaos swept you away, your mother"

"Our mother?" Magnus turned his head and asked in amazement. He looked at Vito, whose back was facing him, in great confusion. He stood there, and countless things suddenly flashed from his back.

"That day, I lost the Astartes, and he lost her too. Although the Emperor will never admit it, he cared a lot that day. We got Magnus for a long time, and there are many things we will never forget. And Halifax, I don't want to lose you again, Magnus, you know what I mean?"

Magnus fell silent. He stood in the middle of the hall silently, and then sighed slowly, "Do you think I should give up that knowledge?"

"I don't know, Magnus, I don't know many things, do what you think is right, no one can give you the answer, only you can."

Vito didn't finish his sentence, he walked away, Magnus looked at the back, looked at the away Vito, the vicissitudes of time seemed to be shining on the back, Magnus raised a hand Caressing his eyes covered by blindfolds, he closed them, and the illusion he had seen in the past appeared again in the darkness.

Through the power of the warp, Magnus saw a vague world, a throne of gold, with psychic bones burning on it, and behind that throne rose a great blue smoke, and shrill laughter Echoed in the smoke.

Magnus stared at the throne that was gradually engulfed in smoke through a shining wall. The voice in the fog seemed to be laughing at something, and the laughter became longer and longer until the end of the distant time. .

"No, I have to stop him, stop them."

Time and years flowed through the darkness, as if lying on a stream, and finally Magnus opened his eyes. He was not lying on the water, but on a broken and suspended earth, he recalled I just dreamed, or in other words, the past seen from the broken memory, and the future prophesied in front of my eyes.
