Although the fleet has arrived in the orbit of Terra, Holy Terra is not a simple place to begin with, and Soshyan has a special status. Just how to enter Terra has become a question worthy of discussion.
As an envoy, Faisal immediately returned to the High Lords Council on the ground to resume his mission. However, the replacement sent by the High Lords did not immediately convey the question of when and how the Astral Knights should enter Terra. He told them to wait for a while, so the incident came to a strange halt.
Soshyan envisioned a grand triumphal ceremony, for which he also brought some "specialties" from the Maelstrom. However, the high lord did not seem to intend to follow his wishes.
There was no order from Terra, so the fleet could only wait in the mountain formation. The slowness of the imperial bureaucracy once again refreshed Soshyan's understanding. He thought that he was already walking slowly enough, and even deliberately stopped on some planets. I walked around for a while, just to give Tyra time to prepare, but it seems that they haven't prepared anything yet?
While waiting in the mountain formation, Soshyan could only visit this ancient space fortress. However, this matter is also very magical. Even the Imperial Fist itself is a little confused about the internal structure of the mountain formation. , the passage is directly closed in some places, and we don’t know what is behind it.
There is one place that interests Soshyan the most - the Essenda Archives.
This place is the archives of the Imperial Fists Chapter and Legion Era, containing a large number of manuscripts and narrative files of the original body. Soshyan knew that Dorn must have been in contact with Xerxes, and perhaps some key information was recorded here. .
However, this place is kept secret and only members of the 5th Company of the Imperial Fists, the Chapter's Librarians and Chaplains are allowed access.
For this reason, Soshyan specifically went to Lysander and conveyed what he meant. In fact, he was a little embarrassed and uneasy when he said this. After all, this was the top-secret archives of the Seventh Legion. No matter what he said, he was still a outsider.
Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, he got a reply allowing entry, which even made him a little suspicious that there was something inside that he didn't know about.
However, since the Imperial Fist allowed it, Soshiyang stopped pretending to be coy and walked into this desperate archives openly——
First, he had to take off his armor, then pass through three levels of blast doors, each of which had his face scanned by a security system, with more than twenty weapons pointed at his location.
After passing through the blast door, he had to wait for a moment, and then a servitor with a lamp led him through a thick wooden door wrapped in bronze, and finally entered the archives that recorded the most core secrets of the Imperial Fist.
Originally, Soshyan thought this would be an extremely huge space. After all, after arriving in the solar system, all he saw were various super-giant structures, which almost gave him an illusion of volume and space.
However, in fact, this archive is indeed large, but compared to the entire mountain formation, it appears to be very small.
It is in the shape of a rectangle. The farthest point is about four to five hundred meters and the height is about twenty meters. It is divided into three floors. However, the top of the head is not closed, but there are several suspended walkways connecting the corridors along the walls. At first glance, you can see the dark roof. Under the dim light, you can see that bookcases and bookshelves occupy every wall. As long as there is space, it will be crowded with books.
The first floor is filled with bookcases with a height of about four meters. This height is obviously designed. When the original body is in use, it will not appear too short, and when the Astartes are in use, it will not appear too tall. The bookcases are equally neat. The stacks contain books or scrolls with different covers and thicknesses.
It is definitely not easy to find what you need in this vast archive, but it is much easier with the help of the Servo Skull.
"Take me to the area where the Primarch's manuscripts or diaries are stored."
After receiving Soshiyang's voice command, the servo skull holding the searchlight then rose up precariously and began to move, with Soshiyang following closely.
Apart from the sluggish cleaning machines, he was the only one in this place, so it seemed very quiet and strange. Even the footsteps echoed many times as if there were a group of people wandering in the distance, and the shaking shadows easily made people think that they were surrounded by people. The Watcher's Delusion.
In less than a minute, the servo skull brought Soshyan to a single door. Then the scanner on the door scanned the servo skull and slowly opened it.
Walking in, the lighting ball lit up, and a small bookstore appeared in front of Soshyan. There were only three bookshelves against the wall, but they were all equipped with small stasis fields, obviously to maximize the preservation of this precious information. .
Soshiyang immediately took out a book from it, and after opening it, he said a sentence that made him laugh——
'Perturabo is a petty bigot and I don't like him'
Soshyan couldn't help but shook his head and whispered:
"In a sense, Dorn and Perturabo are really brothers. They are similar in every sense."
Then he suddenly froze, and a strange sense of realization flashed through his mind, as if he had said this.
However, he was not impressed at all.
Shaking his head, Soshyan continued reading.
'The legion still needs training, they have a lot to learn'
Then there was a summary of the various battles that Dorn led the new Seventh Legion. Soshyan found that Dorn really liked to summarize the battles and recorded them in detail.
As a result, when he saw the back, one sentence almost made Soshyan laugh out loud.
'Perturabo is a petty, paranoid man who has difficulty communicating. I taught him a lesson in a simulated battle, but his attitude turned out to be as smelly and hard as a piece of dried shit. I hate him.'
There was no more at the back, and Soshyan took out another one.
'Brother Horus is a great and proud warrior. He can lead everyone, but sometimes his attitude is not firm enough. This is the fatal weakness of a leader'
'Leon is a proud bigot, I'm not sure if this is a gift from Caliban'
'Fulgrim is a man who is good at mediating. If there were more people like him between brothers, we might get along more harmoniously.'
This is a diary that records the battle in the Midnight Sector. It seems that Dorn also had a conflict with Lion, but it is not what Soshyan is looking for.
After putting it back, he glanced at it. There seemed to be hundreds of books and materials here. If he looked at them one by one, he didn't know when he would see them.
Then he thought for a moment, and if it was about the Lost Legion, Dorn might not record it publicly, or display it publicly, so he said to the Servo Skull:
"I need to hide the profile."
The servo-skull was unmoved at first, and Soshyan repeated it again.
"I need to hide the profile."
At this time, the servo skull suddenly moved and floated to one side of the wall. Then a micro-scanning device protruded from the wall. After scanning it once, the bookcase slowly slid left and right, revealing a space only one person wide. Two brown-covered booklets floated.
Soshyan took the booklet and opened it carefully.
'Horus is coming. I don't know if I can stop him, but this is my duty and I must do it. To do this, I can only turn the palace into a fortress and destroy and modify all the beautiful things I designed. Something sad'
'I finally realized that Coz's nonsense was actually true. Although this did not change the fact that he was still a madman, would the situation have changed if I had taken what he said seriously? If he were on our side in this rebellion, would the situation be much better? His cruel methods are just right for dealing with traitors.'
