Hearing Soshyan's words, Veronica glanced at him and mocked:
"Do you just know this? But the tomb here is not just one. In addition to the Ork Empire you mentioned, there is also an extremely ancient human civilization buried here."
Sosh raised his eyebrows and did not answer.
"They were far more enlightened and humble than you are now. Look at your current empire, including you Astartes, they are just ugly relics of the Dark Ages, derived from the wishful thinking of a deceived prophet who tried to create a perfect race. , but in the end they only raised a million mentally retarded children wearing armor who didn’t know what to say, ah——”
Before she could say anything, Soshyan grabbed her collar, picked her up, and said coldly:
"Don't take my kindness as concession, I can kill you at any time."
Then he let go.
"You just said dimensional gap, what is that?"
Veronica, who had been threatened by Soshyan, was obviously in a bad mood, but she still explained with a cold face:
"Your superficial understanding of space is only the physical world and subspace, but in fact, outside of this, or between the two, there are many small and uncertain alien planes. These alien planes have been disrupted by time. Rumors wash away, and most of the time it is elusive. Only with the most incredible technology can you have a chance to see it and use it. You may have heard of the race that possesses this technology. We are called Necrontyrs, and you call them Necrons. .”
"Necrons...then why do greenskins use them too?"
"There once was a Necrontyr tomb in this world, but it was destroyed by the Greenskins. They destroyed the dead inside and plundered their technology."
"So that's the case. No wonder the emperor didn't find it back then."
Soshyan nodded, but immediately noticed something unusual.
"Wait a minute, you said before that the dimensional gap is elusive, so how can the greenskins teleport people in? Do they need to try their luck?"
"no."
The Elf girl shook her head.
"They have some unique technology that can anchor this dimensional gap in a certain range. Once the teleportation device is activated, they can be teleported here at any time."
Hearing this, Soshyan immediately thought of the obelisk, maybe that was the key.
"Then can you teleport the two of us out?"
"It should be okay after I recover some strength. The Great Prophet gave me a resonance crystal before leaving. It can be used in any space."
As if to prove that she was not lying, Veronica removed a torn blue crystal from the top of the scepter and waved it in front of Soshyan.
"look."
Soshyan just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
"Very good, but before I leave, I want to see the ruins of that ancient human civilization. Do you know how to get there?"
Veronica was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Soshiyang with a very strange look, which made him feel a little hairy.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I wonder if the person in front of me is a changeling."
"What's the meaning."
"What a coincidence. I just teleported down and was at the entrance of that ruins. Then I encountered a small group of greenskins and was chased here. Then I met you, and you were looking for that ruins."
"Coincidence, sure, but not surprising."
"Strange, so strange."
Veronica shook her head, took a closer look at Soshyan, and then suddenly said something.
"Can you let me touch it?"
Soshyan didn't react for a moment, but Veronica had already stood on tiptoes and stretched out her hand towards his face, and Soshyan immediately grabbed her wrist.
"pain--"
"what you do."
"I just wanted to make sure."
"Confirm what."
"Confirm that you are indeed Soshyan Alexei."
Soshyan threw her hand aside and took out a pendant ring from her neck armor.
"Did you see this sign on that ruin?"
Veronica picked up the ring around Soshyan's neck and looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, it is this sign. If you are really related to that ruins, then I will take you there."
After that, the two of them walked side by side, being cautious along the way for fear of triggering some mechanism.
But there were no more surprises along the way. Veronica took Soshyan to a huge alloy door, which was fifty meters high and could accommodate the passage of large war machinery.
Sure enough, Soshyan saw the same logo imprinted on the ring on the door.
But how to open this door?
While Soshyan was thinking hard, Veronica told him that there was a console near the door that should still be usable.
So Soshyan walked over and found that this was a console that he didn't recognize at all, with many buttons, a lever, and a groove on it.
After looking at the shape of the groove, Soshyan took off the ring, pressed it into the groove, and then pulled down the lever.
After waiting for thirty seconds, with the harsh sound of metal friction, the door slowly opened.
"Is this...the hometown of our ancestors?"
With a sense of solemn ceremony, Soshyan stepped into the door.
Behind the door is a huge corridor with many broken statues on both sides of the road. At the end is a long bridge across an artificial canyon. In the canyon are the remains of settlements that gave birth to life but died.
When Soshyan walked across the wide stone arch bridge, he saw the entire cold and lightless city ruins. Looking down at the tomb-like city from a frightening height, Soshyan could feel the glassless buildings. It was dark, and something seemed to flicker within, like ghosts from the distant past, staring in the hollow and gloomy silence at the passage of future generations—those who would inherit the mission.
What would this place look like if it were in the sun?
Soshyan wasn't sure whether he was thinking it in his mind or speaking to himself, but his question was answered immediately.
"The instructor mentioned that this place was once called the Citizen Temple, a city where a group of people who were unwilling to be oppressed gathered together."
"Civic Temple."
Soshyan's eyes did not move away from the dead city. Incredibly, there should not be wind here, but now there is a breeze with the smell of dust blowing.
Veronica also stared at the dead city, and then sighed softly.
"It used to be idyllic here, but the war destroyed everything."
After a minute of silence, Soshyan moved on.
The next bridge is reinforced by support columns and black iron frames that connect the stone path to the cave walls. The air is orange-yellow in the refraction of light from the underground world, and the heat is billowing upwards.
The lava rolled and boiled in the abyss below, and the stone bridge seemed to span a wound in the earth's crust that tore the mantle apart and burned like a world-wide lake.
The magma was rolling in the boundless darkness. Somehow, the flames did not dispel the darkness, but made the shadows even more gloomy.
