"Dimensional anchoring cognitive system, quantum information transmission terminal... Oh my god, even the gift from the God of All Machines cannot be better than this..."
"...Has he always been like this? Kahn."
"You should know, mother. The mechanical priests' desire to explore the unknown is always beyond imagination."
"It seems that Redjac has indeed taught a good apprentice."
Elaine looked helplessly at Ronald, who had completely fallen into a state of research frenzy. She was indeed not very familiar with this young mechanical priest.
She only knew that Ronald studied under Redjak, that's all.
"Ronald is indeed an excellent mechanical priest. There is no doubt about this, otherwise he would not have been able to apply the technology given to us by Lord Malcador so quickly and transform those Eldar aliens into webway navigators."
"It's just that...compared to Redjak, Ronald is more radical - he is always ambitious for those unknown ancient ruins. On our way here, he did a lot of searching for the Eldar Empire ruins along the way. "
Having said this, Kahn glanced in the direction of the storage warehouse.
"When we return to Nuceria, we have to clean up the warehouse."
After hearing these words, Ronald, who was still immersed in his own world just now, immediately turned his head angrily.
"Damn it! Kahn, you can't do this! Those are all precious research materials that I have worked hard to collect..."
Before his hoarse electronic voice could finish expressing his dissatisfaction to Kahn, Ronald's eyes met Elaine's majestic gaze.
There is also Kahn, who looks like he is not too worried about the drama.
"I think I don't have to repeat the work I gave you, Ronald."
"...I'm sorry, my lord."
Ronald immediately continued his research work.
As a student of Redjac, he does have his own personality - this personality can still be arbitrary in front of Kahn, but in front of Elaine...
At the very least, he wanted to make it back to Salem alive.
Seeing Ronald's obedient look and Kahn's gloating look next to him, Elaine couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
After breaking free from the chains of the Blood God, the Legion of the Sons of the Mountains has obviously gradually lost the violence that penetrates their bones - whether it is the relatively relaxed atmosphere in daily life, the tacit understanding of the souls during battle, or the silence beneath the surface. You can see their increasingly active hearts... They are completely different from the World Eaters of the original time and space.
Having the Butcher's Nail viciously hit her brain and venting an extremely empty and endless rage on anyone, Elaine absolutely did not want any of her heirs to bear this sad fate again.
Obviously, her efforts were not in vain.
Unlike those madmen driven by the Butcher's Nails, let alone the hounds whipped by the Blood God's Chains - today, they are all flesh and blood warriors, people who can feel joy, sadness and many other complex emotions.
A complete, sound human being.
Elaine's consciousness was slightly dazed, and all kinds of past seemed to appear involuntarily in front of her eyes - the dark memories of curling up in the amniotic fluid and shivering, the time when she first took over the war dogs, the day of the expedition to Salem, the endless bloody battle in the realm of Khorne... And the regret I felt when reading the World Eaters story.
Many thoughts and feelings were mixed in an instant, and it seemed that she could see the past, and it also seemed that she could see the future.
Many emotions that had been suppressed since the Perfect City suddenly burst out because of the scene in front of him.
And Kahn keenly captured Elaine's emotions: "Mother? What are you thinking about."
Elaine was in a daze for a moment. The wide field of vision brought by her too tall figure prevented her from reacting for a while.
It was clear that she had already understood her subspace nature when she resisted the Blood God, but now she still instinctively regards herself as a mortal...
Why exactly?
Elaine really could not have imagined that even thousands of reincarnation illusions could not completely break her soul, and the pain born from the entire bloody battle of Khorne had not been lost, but those who came from the mortal period Many memories can make her feel confused.
An overly tough mind has long been familiar with pain and torture, but has gradually forgotten what the meaning of "happiness" is.
Is it the joy of reuniting with his heir? Is it the joy of watching your children grow up? Or is it the satisfaction of dragging a child who would have gone astray back to the right path and watching him become a normal person step by step?
Maybe both.
Elaine didn't know where this trance came from, but she didn't resist this feeling.
In her understanding, she may be Sisyphus who is fighting against the gods.
She didn’t know whether the boulder of fate would return to the bottom again tomorrow, but the boulder had already been pushed to the top of the mountain with her own efforts - even though the fatigue and pain along the way had long been forgotten, the weight of this fate was even more difficult to count. Imagine.
However, Sisyphus is happy after all.
Because of the anger of the gods, the result of Sisyphus's struggle with the boulder returned to the bottom, but it also proved that the gods can also be shaken by the struggles of mortals.
Elaine looked down at Kahn's thin face and his thick blue and white power armor, and smiled happily as if he understood something.
"…Nothing, kid."
"I just suddenly... felt that my efforts along the way were not without value."
Listening to his mother's profound words, Kahn was a little confused.
But he was not puzzled.
For the sons of the mountains, there are some words that need not be said.
For a group of warriors with the same mind, sometimes a look is all they need to understand the meaning.
Under Elaine's gaze, Kahn nodded slightly.
He knew the meaning of his mother's words, and he also knew the source of the trance in her eyes just now.
After that war, the Children of the Mountains lost much.
Troops, resources, land, people.
But he was given a new lease of life.
At the same time, the battle barge slowly sailed out of Mandeville Point and out of the bizarre subspace route, and the field of vision suddenly broadened - what appeared in front of Elaine's eyes was a very familiar red planet.
The earth is covered with blood-red sand, and the mountains are dotted with fine, permanently frozen snow.
No matter where you are, the red sand and fertile soil are still around you.
No matter where you go, the top of the mountains is still your hometown.
Her name is Nuceria.
The warm starlight shines on the bridge, but it is also slightly obscured by a huge shadow.
In the starport of Nuceria, the Queen of Glory, stained with divine blood, is sleeping peacefully on the Iron Throne.
…
…
Go home~
Moon Hammer will be on the shelves tomorrow, friends who have the ability can help!
