It's still the same armed jacket, black one-piece leather uniform and high boots, and it's still the graceful and powerful figure.
Her skin was still as white as ice cliffs in winter, and her dark braids were the same as yesterday, but her pure blue eyes were full of exhaustion and sorrow.
Inquisitor Angelica, Soshyan had almost forgotten this person and the place where the other party was going.
It wasn't until she appeared in front of him again that he suddenly recalled the encounter at that time.
Everything seems like yesterday.
Soshyan gave the order to clear the command room, and when only two people were left, he finally choked out a sentence.
"How are you?"
Angelica looked at him, suddenly laughed, staggered to the table filled with maps and documents, and leaned her buttocks on the edge of the table.
"At least alive."
"Well."
Soshyan didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, he had a lot to say, but in the end he chose the sentence that he thought was the stupidest.
"You look the same."
Angelica's current appearance almost completely coincides with the appearance in Soshyan's memories. There is almost no difference except that the weapons are missing from her body, her hair looks dry and messy, and her face is haggard.
The judge blinked, then smiled:
"yes."
Only then did Soshiyang's brain turn around, and he suddenly remembered something.
The last time he saw Angelica was thirty years ago!
Seeing Soshyan's shocked face, Angelica sighed softly and said.
"You finally found out."
"you....."
Inquisitors are also mortals. Even if they undergo life-extending surgery, the traces of time will inevitably appear on their bodies, unless certain taboo powers are used.
But Soshyan didn't feel the aura of witchcraft from Angelica, so it was very strange that her appearance had not changed at all in thirty years.
"Do you remember that conversation between us?"
Soshyan nodded.
"You are going to carry out a secret mission, and the mission location is in the Armageddon system."
Angelica sighed.
"Captain Soshyan, are you always so formal?"
"Yes, all the time-"
Suddenly, Soshyan realized that such a conversation seemed to have happened before.
He finally understood what the other party was referring to.
"If you still need our assistance at that time, my battle group and I will consider answering your call."
This is what Soshyan said at the time.
But he didn't intend to agree now, because Angelica's appearance seemed too strange. He clearly remembered that Angelica said at the time that several inquisitors were involved in this mission.
"Judge Angelica, what has happened to you in the past thirty years?"
Angelica didn't answer, but looked left and right.
"Do you have anything to drink here? I'm a little thirsty."
Soshiyang immediately called a servitor and asked the other party to fetch a pot of red wine, a pot of water and scattered fruits. These were the collections of the hive nobles and were now at Soshiyang's disposal.
Angelica drank some water first, and then drank half a glass of red wine with the fruits.
"Thirty years, this is the first time in thirty years that I've rehydrated."
"this--"
Putting down the wine glass, Angelica's face finally regained some luster.
"Surprised, right? In fact, things are not complicated. My colleagues and I came here to look for an ancient ruins, which are related to a huge green-skinned empire in the past... Do you know, Armageddon passed? There is another name, Ullanor."
Soshyan blinked and said nothing more.
Seeing his calm look, Angelica looked surprised.
"You don't seem surprised?"
"No, I'm surprised, but it doesn't make any difference to me. I'm not a historian after all."
"But you must have heard the story of what happened in Ullanor?"
"certainly."
"This was once the heart of the largest Greenskin empire in the galaxy. The Emperor personally led his armies to crush it and tear the Empire apart. However, after the Heresy, the Greenskins resurrected here twice in an attempt to rebuild their empire. "
"There's no way they can succeed."
"Yes, but have you ever thought about it? What is the magic of this place that attracts greenskins to pounce on it again and again and rise here?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"It's not something I should think about."
"You must not let any third person know what I say next... A certain inquisitor found out from an ancient manuscript that the Emperor once sent the Imperial Guard to the planet after suppressing the green skins of Ullanor. Searching for something secretly, but finding nothing.”
"Um?"
Sosh raised his eyebrows. This surprised him, because it stands to reason that the biggest secret of this planet is the tomb that Horus secretly built for the Primarch of the Eleventh Legion, but this was obviously only built after the war.
If so, what is the Emperor looking for?
So he asked calmly.
"What do you think that is?"
"We speculate that it is something closely related to the emperor's great cause, and may even involve some supreme power in the subspace, otherwise the emperor would never mobilize troops."
"Based on just one manuscript, you decided to take action?"
"Of course not. We spent several years investigating this planet and infiltrated into the oldest families on the planet to explore their secrets... Finally, we relied on a large number of pieced together clues to find a place three thousand meters underground. The ruins of the temple and a map of a mysterious labyrinth were found inside, and it took us another two years to decipher that map and finally determine its location."
"What happens next? Did you find the maze?"
Angelica took a deep breath, as if she didn't want to think about that scene.
"There's no maze, it's not a maze... it's a trap."
"trap?"
"For some reason, an area suddenly appeared on the upper level of the maze, which was full of deadly traps and ancient battle robots. Our followers and comrades continued to suffer casualties, and I also accidentally fell into a stasis field trap in the chaos. "
"I see, you have been in the stasis field for thirty years."
"Yes, my life was originally supposed to be frozen like this, but not long ago due to some interference from the outside world and the chaos in the stasis field, I gained ten seconds of freedom, so I immediately activated the emergency transmission beacon on my body. Fortunately, the terminal equipment was not damaged, but when I appeared, I found that the entire nest was occupied by green skins, and I could only hide and wait for an opportunity to escape."
"Why is there an extra area?"
"I don't know either. At the last moment before the teleportation, I saw a humanoid statue behind the stasis field wall. The statue's hand was holding a red weapon, which looked like a spear but not a spear, and looked like a halberd. The weapon of the halberd—"
"What!"
Soshyan's roar was so frightening that Angelica's shoulders shook.
"What’s wrong with you....."
"Where is that place!?"
If Angelica didn't lie, then the weapon she saw was most likely the relic left by the original body of the Eleventh Legion - Fen Tian.
Although she was surprised that Soshyan was suddenly so excited, she answered his question.
"According to the map, that place should be 3,000-5,000 meters underground in Hades's nest. Last time we entered it through the crypt passage at the bottom of Hades' nest."
"Hades...it's actually Hades."
For a moment, Soshiyang had mixed feelings in his heart——
