After returning to Nessen 4, the first thing Soshyan did was to contact the Weepers in the fortress. However, to his surprise, Malakin, who was originally on duty, took most of the battle group to the star. At the edge of the domain, I don't know what kind of mission they are performing. There are only two teams in the fortress and the chief pharmacist of the Lamenters to perform the group's affairs on their behalf.
Such an unlucky thing made Soshyan feel very strange, as if there was some mysterious factor that prevented the Wailers from ever meeting their parent group.
But fortunately, the chief pharmacist is here, so Dante and his party are not in vain.
The Chief Apothecary of the Lamenters was also very surprised when he learned that the Chapter Master of the parent chapter was in person. For thousands of years, they had completely lost contact with the parent chapter and had no idea that the Blood Angels were looking for them.
The two sides then held separate talks that lasted several hours.
When Dante left the meeting room, the expression on his face became more solemn, but Soshyan couldn't ask for the specific reason.
While the Blood Angels were lingering in the Fortress of Tribulation, Soshyan took Randall back to the monastery fortress on the ground, and immediately asked the apothecary to awaken Brother Said.
But something that no one expected happened happened——
"What?"
The pharmacists of the war group were all together, and Valier was also there, but the news they brought made Soshyan unable to believe it.
"what are you saying?"
"Captain Soshyan, Brother Said...cannot be awakened."
Valler candidly answered questions that others were reluctant to answer.
"Why?"
"He...has lost all physical characteristics."
"What does it mean to lose all physical characteristics?"
"That means...he died, for the second time."
"This is impossible!"
Soshiyang's roar made the hall shake. Randall also looked surprised and said:
"Is there something wrong?"
Valere spread his hands helplessly.
"We have tried all technical means, but we can't detect any signs of physiological activity in Brother Said's coffin. There is no heartbeat, no breathing. We even tried psychic means, but still... nothing. .”
"take me!"
Afterwards, the group hurried to a quiet room next to the monastery armory where Brother Seid slept.
Once inside, Soshyan saw what he saw: ornate sarcophagi chained together in the ceramic hull of an armored Dreadnought, with the halo of blue stasis fields still surrounding the limbs of the war machine. Movement - lock them there motionless.
Soshyan stared at the image made of precious metal on the iron coffin. This is the image of Brother Seid before entering Dauntless, a warrior with a helmet and Great Crusade-style power armor.
After a minute of silence, Soshyan struggled to utter a few words.
"Open it."
The pharmacists hesitated, and one of them said:
"Chapter Master, you might kill it by doing this."
"Didn't you say he was dead?"
"this--"
Obviously, this is a huge responsibility, one that even the pharmacists dare not bear. Although they have come to the conclusion, the death of the only Fearless Lord in the Chapter is really too serious.
If they were to be held accountable, none of them would be able to escape.
"never mind."
Soshyan calmed down, stepped forward, and pressed his palm on the fearless iron coffin.
As Valere said, there was indeed a dead silence inside.
By this time, his heart had already turned cold.
Why did Brother Seid die suddenly? Is it natural decline? Or was he assassinated? is there any other reason?
Thinking of this, he took two steps back and said loudly:
"My order, open the iron coffin."
Afterwards, the pharmacists got busy, and the technicians also got busy around the iron coffin.
A few minutes later, the iron coffin was peeled off the Dauntless and hung in the air, but it was still connected to the life-support equipment.
When the last safety net was opened with a hiss of pressure, everyone's eyes widened, and Soshyan clenched his fists unconsciously.
After a few seconds, the front shield of the iron coffin was slowly removed——
"this!"
"what is that!"
"Where's Brother Said??"
Amid everyone's exclamations, something even more incredible happened.
The iron coffin was actually empty!
But if you look closely, you will see that it is not empty. There is half a golden mask lying tightly in the iron coffin.
Seeing this mask, everyone else was confused, but Soshyan and Randall were stirred up in their hearts.
"Everyone, everything that happened today is not allowed to be reported to outsiders. Violators will be punished as treason to the war group!"
Immediately, Soshyan issued the strictest gag order.
Then he asked everyone to exit the room, leaving only him and Randall here.
"What exactly is this mask?"
After taking out the mask from the Fearless Iron Coffin, Soshyan took out the other half of the mask he had previously obtained in the Webway. After comparing the two, it turned out that they were indeed the same one.
But what does it symbolize?
"To solve the mystery of Brother Seid, it seems we have to start with this mask."
Hearing Randall's words, Soshyan carefully examined one of the masks again.
But there were no patterns or symbols on it, just a face that seemed to be crying and smiling, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Who's in the fort these days?"
Suddenly, Randall asked a question.
Soshyan thought for a while and replied:
"Except for those who follow me to the Sanctuary Star, everyone else is on the home planet."
"I mean someone who has access to Brother Seid."
"Pharmacists, and..."
Suddenly, the door was opened and a man appeared.
"And I."
Thor walked into the room.
Randall turned around and looked at the blond warrior curiously. With just one glance, he judged that he was a good swordsman.
"I forgot to introduce you. This is Sol Tarvitz, the past company commander of the Emperor's Children Legion. He has experienced the legend of the Great Crusade. He is a loyalist of Isstvan III. The reason why he joined us is, uh... ..That’s a long story too.”
"It's amazing."
Randall couldn't help but exclaimed:
"In addition to Talos, another warrior of the Great Crusade, my brother, how many secrets do you have here?"
Soshyan smiled awkwardly, and then introduced him to Sol.
"This is Randall, the Chapter Master of the White Templars and a descendant of the Eleventh Legion."
"Nice to meet you."
Thor held out his hand, and Randall took it.
Then, Thor looked at Soshyan and the mask in his hand, and did not appear surprised.
"I already know about Brother Seid."
"That--"
At this time, Randall on the side suddenly interrupted.
"Captain Saul, did you find out after we came back, or did you know before we came back?"
Thor looked at him and smiled.
"Before you come back."
"ah?"
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly:
"Instructor Saul, do you know what happened?"
Thor shook his head.
"I can't tell you what's going on inside, but you just need to know one thing. He has never been far away from you. Before he left, he left you a gift."
"Gift?"
At this time, a side door of the quiet room opened, and a tall figure strode out.
