Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 686

  Chapter 686 The End of Autumn: Star Gazer Orikan

The library is shining with dark green light. This is a small part of the huge ship of Infinity Frontier. All kinds of data, materials and collected navigation data have been stored here, making it huge, bloated and It's like a maze.

Generally, few people will come here. The sailors are not interested in the "lost" knowledge. They want to know when the next dinner is, or when Vito's occasional all-night banquet will be held. Only the priest of Mechanicum on board They are very enthusiastic about this place, and they often shuttle here to explore the secret treasures that have never been discovered.

But today there are no red robes here. In fact, there is no one. All the priests of the Mechanicum are outside for maintenance, and checking the maintenance status of the Infinite Frontier and the status of the machine soul, which makes this huge library overnight. The room became quiet, like a tomb piled up by books.

  There is only one person here, and his knowledge is as old as the knowledge here, or even older. Vito stands in front of a dark green light, and the bookshelves behind him are illuminated by the light.

A figure appeared on the unfolded triangular instrument, and finally a figure appeared on it. His steel face was lit with two green eyes, and his lips were only a narrow square. As he opened his mouth, And bursts of lights, "Ah, Vito Constantine, when was the last time we communicated?"

"It was a long time ago, Orikan." Vito showed a friendly smile. It is still a question of how much of that smile is real. He and the stargazer are not on good terms. Racine and Stargazer... at least they should be friends.

   But this does not mean that he and Orikan are also friends. In fact, their meeting last time was not very pleasant.

Orkan laughed. He had a pair of huge crowns on his head. They spread out symmetrically, like the crown of an ancient and powerful magician. There was a bright eye shining between his eyebrows. He stroked the steel beard on his chin, as if it really could be stroked rather than sparked.

"I remember, the last time I saw you, you destroyed one of my transport ships, Vito." "That's because your ship doesn't have a brain, and in order to perform a simple task, the brain insists on a straight line." advance, thereby possibly destroying a hive world, so yes, I destroyed it." "Well... what about my ship's relic? When I found it, all cargo was empty." Got it, do you want me to ask Traasin who knows this kind of supernatural event for you?"

Vito said with a smile on his arms, with a strange smile on his face, Orikan laughed, his voice was ethereal and distorted, different from the monotonous voice of most necromancers, Orikan's voice It's more emotional, but when you laugh, it's more like an old siren piano being struck.

He stared at Vito with three eyes at the same time, "In the words of you humans, you are really a pair of good friends. Let me guess, the live samples of Catachan demons "given to me" by Traasin before are also your friendship. Is it a gift?"

   "Hmm, I hope you like it. Those little things are interesting. When I found them from my bottom Class A, Tara Cinti suggested that he said it would be a pity to kill them. He has better uses."

"Indeed, those things are very interesting, and the reproduction speed is comparable to Tyranids. I remember that within half an hour after I received his "literary" letter, they crawled all over my grave and destroyed many of my stargazing glasses .” Orikan stroked his steel beard, and looked down at Vito, who was much shorter than himself, in the light.

"So are you going to give me something again this time, Catachan Demon?" "No, that's too monotonous, I never give the same gift twice, what I'm sending you this time is a challenge." challenge?"

Aurikan asked suspiciously, his twinkling eyes looked at Vito who had a foxy smile on his face and his hands on his hips, "That's right, I heard that Master Aurikan of the Necromancer Dynasty was a challenger in the past. A famous scholar who collects endless treasures in the universe."

"Hmph, your flattery is gratifying, but it's a pity that I used the wrong person. My friend, my heart is made of iron, and I won't be moved by your flattery." Aurikan said, "Why are you Don't go to Traasin? He's on better terms with you, isn't he? And he likes to meddle in other people's business."

"Indeed, Traasin also knows a lot of secrets in the universe, and has collected a lot of things, but my dear stargazer, he is just a strange collector, and you are the only one who can really be called a scholar, aren't you? Vito smiled brightly, his smiling face looked so dazzling under the green light, "Tarasin often mentioned that you have collected a lot of knowledge over the years, but he suspected that it was worthless."

"What does he think, and what does it matter to me? It's the same as how your mechanical priests, stupid thinkers who don't care about flesh and blood see them." Olikan said, his voice was neither soft nor heavy, and it seemed It was meaningless, but Vito didn't panic, he knew that Orikan had taken the bait.

Vito smiled and shook his fingers, "Of course you care, dear Orikan, if you collect that knowledge just for your own entertainment, why do you want everyone to know your identity? The great Orikan Kan, the last keeper of knowledge, no, my friend, you collected that knowledge for the benefit of all, didn't you?"

"Or, for your fellow dead spirits, although they don't care much about these things anymore, otherwise why do you announce your achievements to the emperors of all dynasties at every undead event? And Tara Xin Zhengqi fights beauty? So come on, master stargazer, you won't let Trasin's win."

Vito put his hands in his arms, with a mocking and ironic smile, "So let me see if you are worthy of the name, and test your level for a while, so that when you compete with Trasim next time, you will know What do you lack?"

"Your level of rhetoric has always been high, Vito." "Thank you for the compliment." "Hmph, if I accept your challenge, I'll look like a ignorant idiot, but if I refuse, it's tantamount to admitting my lack of knowledge, So yes, I'll accept your trap, even if I know it."

"Isn't that good? It saves a lot of trouble, so I'll ask directly." Vito beamed, he knew that Orikan could see through his poor joke at a glance, but he didn't really put much effort into it That trap, because for Aurikan, the more direct the trap, the easier it is for him to take the bait.

He is the keeper of the knowledge of the Necronomicon, the last thinker of the soulless race. Compared with the cheerful galaxy pirate and hippie in Traasin, Orikan is more like a true thinker, or a scholar, and he The most unacceptable thing for such a person is that there is a challenge in front of him, but he is powerless.

"I'm looking for something, the heart of the three saints, do you have any impressions? I remember that I almost heard you mention it once, in..." "There is no need to try to remember, but... yes, the heart of the three saints." "It seems that you know, then tell me, university scholar, and let me see your knowledge reserves."

  Vito sat on the pile of books behind him, holding his hands like a urging audience. Orikan snorted and looked over, "I thought you were not interested in these "useless" old objects."

"I'm interested in what works, so what is it? Some kind of big killer?" Vito asked, raising his mechanical arm, which instantly turned into a ready-to-go ion cannon. The light shone in the light of Orikan, deforming his figure a bit.

"No, that's an ancient work of art." "Art work?" "Yes, work of art, but not pots and jars, it's some kind of curiosity built by the Old Ones, they were there before the Battle of Heaven began. Construction, the ancient saints at that time were still a peaceful race, not interested in wars and related things, obsessed with culture, art and creation."

"Hmm, a group of space artists, so isn't that thing a big killer that can destroy the entire universe?" Vito asked, and Orikan shook his head, "No, I don't think so, it's something that few people Knowing one of the many creations of the Old Ones that no one cares about, my people had little interest in art and culture while they were still in the flesh, and I'm honestly surprised you'd ask me that."

  Vito pondered for a while and then closed the mechanical arm. He leaned on the bookshelf and held his chin to think for a while, "Are you sure that thing is just a useless work of art?"

Aurikan shrugged, and his face flickered with the words, "The ancient sages have the ability to predict the future. No one knows what kind of butterfly effect their actions will cause in the future. They made good use of this back then. Some Seemingly useless things may play unimaginable importance at a certain moment."

"What about the Heart of the Three Saints? You don't know anything?" "Your words are full of provocation, dear friend, but fortunately, I won't be angry a long time ago. There were too many similar things back then. We There is no way to care about everything, but the Heart of the Three Saints is indeed a good creation, I heard that the Old Sage visited many civilizations in order to build it, including us and the Star God."

Vito was attracted, he frowned slightly, "You and the Star God?" "Yes, in my memory it was the Battle of Heaven, and before the transformation, at that time the Star God was not what he was later, the Old Sage found They talked about something, but it was very old, older than me, so no one knew exactly what happened."

"If you want to know, you have to find such an ancient existence. It is also an ancient mythological age for us." "Mythological age?" With his mouth flickering, "It seems that you have already got the answer, but you didn't get it from me."

"No, friend, but you have helped a lot. Very good. Your knowledge reserve is gratifying. Go find Trasim and bring me a good one." Vito said, getting up and picking up the triangular communicator, Olikan laughed on it, "I will, and I believe that he will also be very interested in what you are looking for."

   "Maybe, let's talk next time." Vito said as he heard footsteps behind him, he turned off the communicator, and turned his head to look at the person who came out from behind the bookshelf.

"Vito?" "Hi Bell, why are you here and looking for books?" Vito interrupted with a smile, and quietly hid the communicator. Bell walked over between the books and looked around. Everything, "No, I have read all the books here, I am here to inform you that everyone is here, all officers and soldiers on the ship."

"It's been a long time since you held this kind of meeting, right?" "Every time you hold this kind of meeting, it means something big is about to happen, Vito." "Your intuition is as accurate as ever." Vito straightened his clothes So said.
