Warhammer Inquisitor
Chapter 346 Expedition Road: City of the Tomb
There is no concept of time in the webway. It is sandwiched between the physical universe and the subspace. It is meaningless to find a real time concept in this distorted time axis. It may be the long past or the distant future. , so I don't know how long the city has been here.
Magnus didn't know either, he stared at the exquisite statue passing by with his single golden eye, it was a statue of an Eldar woman, her graceful body curve was almost like a real person, and the flying elegant gauze skirt was as clear as in a dream The shadow of her, she looks so flawless, only one flaw, her head is missing.
In fact, everything here is like this. The entire once gorgeous and prosperous city has long since become a ruined wall. Everything here has collapsed, and all that remains is rubble, ruins and sighs.
Magnus was walking on the street, looking around with his single eye. The shops on both sides of the street were already empty. Broken glass and collapsed walls can be seen everywhere, and some of them still have some ancient Eldar crafts. , the exquisite bracelets and pendants are faintly exposed between the gravel and the white spirit bone fragments, just like the embellishments on a cake that was smashed on the ground and made into a ball of paste.
When Magnus passed by the shop door, he caught a glimpse of the Eldar corpse submerged in the rubble. The withered and yellow skin is attached to the skull.
He fell in the rubble, only part of his upper body and one hand sticking out were exposed, and the rest of his body was buried under the rubble.
Not only this corpse, but when Magnus walked on the only clean road on the ruins, he kept scanning the corpses of the Eldar who fell on both sides. There were men and women, and there were even rare spirit corpses. Eldar children, Magnus rarely saw Eldar children, and their group now rarely sees newborns.
They all fell on both sides, wearing gorgeous costumes that are very different from the current Eldar costumes, scattered or concentrated in every corner of the street, but without exception, they all worked hard towards the end of the front. Rushing over to that place.
He walked through the empty streets, everything here was shrouded in dead darkness, compared to here even the subspace is so vibrant and radiant.
Magnus followed Vito and walked through a collapsed fountain. On the silver fountain stood an Eldar hunter in tight clothing, with a robe draped over her shoulders and holding a bow and arrow. She stood in the dry fountain. On the central platform, two huge stone statues collapsed on both sides.
The stone statue that fell to the ground cut off the direction of the road, and directly killed the Eldar who were huddled there at that time. The corpses were piled up under the boulder like foundations, between the stone and the milky white dust Pour into one piece, one on top of the other.
Vito walked over, he stepped on the stone beside the pile of corpses and turned over the roadblock, Magnus also turned over after seeing a screaming Eldar body lying at his feet, he Bivi Tor was taller, so climbing over the ruin barricade was more like crossing a small dirt slope for him.
After passing through the ruins, Magnus looked up at Vito in front of him. He was walking along the huge avenue. Behind the two fallen giant statues was a plaza that seemed to see the sky behind the clouds. Vito wore Wearing golden power armor, he walked down from among the fallen Eldar corpses on both sides of the stairs with heavy steps.
It was so quiet here that the sound of Vito's footsteps became much duller than normal in the dead silence, and the rumbling sound echoed throughout the ruins, amplified through repeated echoes.
Magnus also walked onto the square. His tall body stood at the top of the stairs, which allowed him to have a panoramic view of everything in the square. In front of him was a huge statue in the center of the square, a The statue of the Eldar warrior stood on the huge stone platform in the center with a sword, and a large number of corpses were poured around it.
There are more spirit clan bones gathered here. They seem to have gathered from all directions of the whole city, but in the end everyone died here. Thousands of spirit tribes turned into a mass grave here. , this city is a huge cemetery.
Magnus saw that Vito was passing through the corpses in the middle of the square. He stepped over corpses in different clothes without even looking at them. Magnus frowned slightly, and he stared at a corpse on one side The dozens of bullet holes on his back suddenly seemed to understand something.
He walked down the stairs, and the tall red giant followed Vito's footsteps across the square, and more traces that could confirm his inference appeared one by one. A large number of Eldar corpses had bullet holes and traces of explosions. The footsteps also continued to pass through the places full of bullet holes and flames.
Passing through the back of the statue, Magnus saw a large pile of charred Eldar bones, their charred bones piled together like a mass grave.
He raised his head and looked at Vito who was walking in front of a grand gate at the end of the square. He stood on the steps in front of the gate and looked up at the high gate frame in front of him. Patterns and murals, but without exception, those reliefs are all full of bullet holes and explosion gaps.
"Vito, didn't these Eldars die during the Great Fall, right?" Magnus asked after stopping at the bottom of a few steps behind Vito, while Vito on top turned his head slightly to look at him.
"Why do you see that?" "The cry of Slaanesh's birth will not affect the webway. This is the reason why the Dark Eldar can hide in Comoros, and the Eldar here are all dead, died in an escape. , in order to escape a massacre."
Magnus turned his head to look at an Eldar woman who fell to the ground. She threw herself on the ground and held a baby in her arms. Of course, the baby also died, and the mother and child turned into corpses and fell on the steps. , but their cause of death is also easy to judge, there are several thick bullet holes in her back.
"You recognized this city at a glance, and you are very familiar with it. Have you participated in this massacre?" Magnus asked with his head turned, and Vito, who was standing on the top of the stairs, slowly turned around to look at it. Looking at Magnus in front of him, he looked around at the corpses around him and fell silent for a while.
"During the human-eldar war, the fleet under my command came here to destroy the webway, and this city. The marines were responsible for the purge of this city, completely, purge."
"This is a massacre, Vito, the Emperor never told us what happened here, this massacre, and many more massacres that he concealed, massacres that wiped out roots."
Magnus walked up the steps. He stood beside Vito and looked at him, "You are trying to conceal the past history, delete the truth and selectively forget some things, and make human beings pure victims."
"It was the Eldar who started it, Magnus, they started the war."
"Is there any difference? Is it out of thin air that the spirit race will conflict with humans? If I remember correctly, humans in the golden age once occupied half of the galaxy, so they bordered on the other half of the galaxy, and then broke out The war, the human servant race rebellion in the later period of the Iron Man Rebellion, was also forced to rebel because they themselves were oppressed as second-class citizens by the human oppression who became as proud and arrogant as the Eldar."
"And I'm sure that before the border, the Ni and the Emperor, and the humans at that time have done the same thing to more than one race, just like the current Empire, one after another concealed ethnic cleansing , and then packaged himself as a victim, and found all kinds of high-sounding reasons for himself, just to satisfy the infinite desire for expansion, the truth was concealed, and the lie became the truth."
Vito folded his arms and looked at Magnus on the side. He looked up at the tall giant's one-eyed, "Are you sympathizing with these Eldar? I don't think I need to tell you that there has never been one in this dark galaxy. In terms of mercy, if you don’t shoot them today, there’s a high probability they’ll give you back tomorrow.”
"Sympathy? No, I don't sympathize with these aliens, but, Vito, how much have you and the Emperor, Malcador, concealed? How many secrets of human beings have you hidden, pretending that they don't exist? It's like pretending that the subspace evil god didn't exist back then."
"You think forgetting and ignoring, those things will disappear, but no, Vito, they never disappear, they will always exist in the shadows, waiting for those who discover it, and when the truth emerges In the face of the truth, the lies fabricated by the Emperor will collapse like a sand embankment."
Magnus said and walked forward, he left Vito standing on the steps in front of the gate, but he was stopped by Vito just after taking a few steps, "Do you know why we have to hide? You Patronizing and criticizing us, have you ever thought about why?"
Magnus stopped, he turned his head slightly and looked at Vito behind him without saying a word, the latter turned around and put his arms in his arms, "Yes, I know what you are thinking, the emperor and I are both The bastard, as it is, is the biggest bastard ever, and I'm the second biggest."
"We've done a lot of things, too many disgraceful things, no, it's glorified to say that, it's supposed to be a fucking bastard thing, but we did it so you didn't have to do it."
Vito said and walked towards Magnus, while the latter stood still and looked at Vito who was approaching, "Concealment and deception are for the sake of letting you future generations not have to bear the same burden as us, believe me, In order for human beings to survive in this dark galaxy, someone has to do the things that are condemned by thousands of people, and not everyone can do it."
"Then have you succeeded? Vito, tell me, is this human empire what you want now? How much has your concealment and deception played?" Magnus sneered coldly, without any hesitation. Relentlessly ridiculed the so-called great deed.
He turned and faced Vito who was approaching, "How many people have embarked on a betrayal because of the Emperor's deception and concealment? You claim to be truth and reason, but you are against reason, and you refuse to tell all the truth and knowledge. People, selectively telling people the "facts" that the Emperor wants people to know, don't they think we are not worthy to know those truths?"
"Imperial truth, the so-called truth is based on lies, deceit and burying, that is not truth, Vito, it is just a lie fabricated by the Emperor."
"Is this why you betrayed? Magnus, why did you vote for Tzeentch? Or is it because of Prospero?" Vito walked up to Magnus and asked, who looked down at Vito in front of him, The tall red giant stared at Vito in front of him with red gold eyes, and he and his eyes met each other.
Magnus was silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "You have deceived us, the Emperor once swore to all his brothers that he would never hide anything from us, but the fact is that he hid Yes, many things."
"Isn't this also a betrayal of us? How can we trust him? When the Great Crusade is over, the Primarchs, and all the Astartes will be purged like the Thunder Warriors. How should we believe him when we are in the dark? How should we choose? To die for another lie that may be his, or to fight to the death for our own truth?"
"You can ask questions directly." Vito said with a smile standing in front of Magnus with his arms folded, but the latter showed a contemptuous smile.
"Ask directly? To the Emperor? And be driven out by Nous and his wolves? No, Vito, I won't do that."
"Who asked you to ask the emperor? If you ask me, it's over. Come on, since you think I have hidden too many things, let me tell you one thing, keep up."
After speaking, Vito walked towards the grand gate ahead, and he walked under the gate. Magnus looked at Vito from behind and was puzzled for a moment, but finally chose to follow.
The scarlet Cyclops stepped through the gate with big strides, and he walked into a huge hall, which was a huge closed hall, with a towering dome forming a huge dome above it, and in it Below, there are statues of giant god soldiers standing on the surrounding walls.
It was a huge ring, on which there were statues of the gods of the Eldar race. Those lifelike gods stood on the round platform, holding their respective divine weapons or utensils, and there were several circular arches around it. It is carved with a big snake coiled around the gatepost.
Magnus looked up at the arches in front of him, those were portals, at least when they were activated, and now the gate was silent, behind it were solid walls instead of passages.
He watched as he walked in the arc-shaped hall, and Magnus walked to the edge of the platform near the gate. He leaned on the handrail on that side and looked at the long bridge extending from the side of the hall.
The huge bridge deck is located above the void, as if suspended above, and there are many fragments floating at the end of the bridge. Those fragments are like the fragments of the webway gate that Magnus saw before, flickering. Spots of light float in the void, like a group of fireflies.
"Here is the teleportation hall of the Spirit Race, and the ship teleportation over there was destroyed first, and here, the small teleportation gate is here, because it cannot teleport large troops or any heavy units, so it was prioritized at that time. The level is not high, and when the reinforcement fleet of the Spirit Race arrived, they were selectively given up the attack."
As Vito said, he walked to an Eldar terminal at the bottom of the gate steps. He walked to the instrument with a smile and put his fingers close to the surface of the spirit bone. With a tiny golden arc released from the end of Vito's power claw, Soon the terminal restarted.
The display windows of the entire instrument lit up, and a large number of weird Eldar characters below it also lit up one by one. The instrument, which looked more like some kind of magic device, was activated after re-injecting spiritual energy. I have to say that it was quite convenient.
"We use the terminal to activate the teleportation hall, and then use the portal here to bring us back to the physical universe and leave this ghost place." Vito said and clicked twice on the screen in front of him, and a large number of weird Eldar symbols immediately appeared like The magical words flickered and jumped, and Magnus, who was behind him, came down in surprise.
"Do you know how to use the Eldar operating system?" "I don't know."
Vito's answer was short and quite confident. Facing his answer, Magnus suddenly didn't know what to say. After a long while, he rubbed his forehead and said, "Then you bring us here What are you doing? Looking at the characters of the Spirit Race and guessing riddles?"
"I won't, but it doesn't mean that no one here will." "Is there a third person here?" "Of course."
Vito smiled and pulled out a disc from the bag on his waist. After spinning it a few times between his fingers, he spread it on his hand. With Vito's fingers lightly touching the edge, the disc Then it lit up, and a woman with short hair was quickly woven by light and shadow on it.
Magnus frowned immediately when he saw the woman in front of him. He recognized what it was at a glance, and then looked up at Vito in shock, "This is."
"This is the first secret I want to tell you. Let me introduce you. This is Helen."
