Soshiyang felt that the saying that the house leaked only when it rained all night was really suitable for him now. First, Randall died, and then Tyra made an inexplicable appointment. A few days later, the Duband Delin family also heard about it. Bad news, Grand Duke Olga's life hangs by a thread.
This stubborn old knight finally forced the doctor to inject himself with strengthening drugs so that he could leave this world sober.
Soshyan had no choice but to use the portal opened by Veronica to the heart of the world in Yin Dian Valley, and then hurried to the Dupondlin family's knight fortress in the Bracato system to see the old man for the last time.
When he came to old Olga's palace, all the men and women of the family had gathered outside the door. Most of Olga's adopted sons had married and had many offspring. When he saw Soshyan, They all consciously got out of the way.
In the palace, only Mathias and Offor were kneeling beside Olga's bed, and the old knight had already sat up, leaning on the bedside. The life-support device that had been inserted into him had been removed, because It's no longer necessary.
When the effect of the medicine wears off, Olga's soul will return to the throne.
It had been a long time since I had seen this old man, and Soshyan could hardly recognize him. Not only was his hair gray, but his whole body was as withered as a mummy, his skin was full of wrinkles, and his shoulders were so thin that he could barely hang his pale robe.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Olga turned his head slightly. The moment he saw Soshyan, his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.
"Soshyan...Chapter Master."
His voice was weak and hoarse. When he stretched out his hand tremblingly, Soshyan quickened his pace, and then held the other person's arm that could barely hold it.
"Old friend, I'm here."
In fact, it's not that Soshyan didn't think about asking Veronica to find a way to save Olga's life, but Veronica smelled the breath of death outside the palace. She told Soshyan that Olga was more than just a body. , his soul was also wiped out and became extremely weak. This may be related to some of the operating principles of the Mechanical Throne. At least her current power is powerless.
Olga looked at Soshyan and suddenly showed a calm smile.
"Chapter Commander, I have thought of countless ways to die in the past, dying gloriously on the battlefield, or dying alone in the cold void... But I never thought that I would be like a mother in the hospital bed. We are all waiting to die."
"To leave surrounded by your family is a reward from the Emperor."
"Yes, I didn't have such a reward, you...gave it to me."
At this time, Olga's energy seemed to have unexpectedly recovered a lot. He straightened up and looked at Offul.
"Child, please go out first. I have something to say to Chapter Leader Soshiyan and Mathias."
Ofal sighed with reluctance, then turned around and left the palace, and then the door slammed shut.
Then Olga turned her attention to Soshyan.
"Chapter Commander - I take the liberty of calling you an old friend. When this old guy like me is about to die, I want to get some truth from you."
Soshyan looked down at the other party, and then nodded.
"We have always been friends and partners. If you want to ask anything, just ask."
"I still remember the scene when we met on Foren 5. The Astral Knights descended from the sky at the most critical moment, saving me from the fate of being torn apart by the greenskins... At the beginning, I just wanted I repaid your debt of gratitude, but slowly, I discovered that by following you, I can continue to win, and you also led me to win incredible battles again and again. In the past, the battle group was so dilapidated that there were only a few dozen people left. It has recovered to hundreds of people in a short period of time, the fleet is growing day by day, and even the Mechanicus has opened its door to you. I am very happy to experience and witness all this personally, but... Every time the people of Yesheng Sometimes, I will also feel a little confused. Are you...really just a Chapter Master? Are the Astral Knights really as normal as they seem on the surface? Especially since I have come into contact with several people around you. , Captain Talos, Instructor Thor, and even the think tank named Kayan, their language and behavior style are completely different from the Chapter."
Speaking of this, Olga's voice seemed to be trembling, but he tried to calm it down.
"I know I shouldn't doubt you, but the less I think about it, the more confusion I have in my mind, and the more strange things I see in the Chapter... I never doubt your character and character. Loyal, I just hope that before I leave, I can know what kind of grand goal the Dupont delin family is serving."
Soshyan was silent for a moment, and finally told this old friend some of the secrets of the Eleventh Legion and the Chapter, including his acceptance of some renegade Space Marines. He believed that this friend could make his own judgment. .
After hearing this, Olga was shocked at first, but gradually, a smile appeared on his face.
"That's it, that's it..."
After murmuring twice, he reached out and gently patted the face of Mathias, who was frozen in place. He seemed to have not yet woken up from the shocking contents.
"Uh, father..."
"Madias, are you shocked by Chapter Master Soshiyan's words?"
Mathias lowered his head slightly.
"Yes, Father."
The smile on Olga's face gradually faded and was replaced by seriousness.
"Madias, you have to remember that the Dubandrin family did not exist before they met the Astral Knights. I am just a lonely blade of freedom, and you are just a group of people shivering in hunger and cold. Orphans, this family can be born and strong. Everything does not depend on me, let alone you. Do you know who it relies on?"
Mathias turned his head and looked up at Soshyan, then nodded.
"Yes, Father, I know very well."
"So as the new High King, what should you do?"
Mathias stood up, turned to Soshyan, and knelt down on one knee without any hesitation.
"Commander of the Soshyan Legion, the Dubandlin family will always be loyal to you and the Eleventh Legion. Our spears and shields will always serve you."
Soshyan nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Olga suddenly coughed several times, and then gasped violently. Mathias rushed to his bedside.
"Father, are you okay? I'm going to call the doctor!"
"Scream!"
Olga pushed her adopted son away.
"Crying like a girl, hurry up and prepare what you need to prepare! At this last moment, I still have something to say to Chapter Commander Soshiyang alone."
Mathias was stunned for a moment, then wiped away his tears, stood up and left the palace silently.
After he left, Olga sighed softly.
"Madias is very capable and ambitious, but I believe you can control him, Chapter Master. He can become the sharpest spear in your hand."
At this time, his voice had become as weak and old as before, and then he pointed to a vase not far away that was as tall as one person.
"Chapter Commander, pour out the contents of the vase."
Soshiyang walked over and turned the huge vase over, and a scroll fell out with a clang.
