Looking at the shocked Soshiyang, Li suddenly spoke to comfort him:
"In fact, everyone is essentially a combination of father and mother's genes, but Brother Xerxes is more special to mother after all. Mother said that she was pregnant with Brother Xerxes for a full fifty years, and he was born That day, the whole sky of Terra screamed, and my father stood on the top of the Himalayas, holding a long sword and fighting against the power of the evil god."
Soshyan came back to his senses and suddenly noticed something.
"You said before that the composition of the original body has a mysterious power. Isn't that Xerxes who was born in the laboratory?"
Li was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know. My mother has never talked about how Brother Xerxes was born. She has always been tight-lipped. I guess, well, it may have something to do with a place called the Drift Sanctuary, because there is a place where Brother Xerxes died long ago. At that time, my mother had a fierce quarrel with the visiting Malcador, and I happened to hear her mention this name in connection with the brothers Xerxes."
Drifting Sanctuary, when he heard this term, Soshiyang was suddenly startled. He subconsciously thought that it was the place where he had a relationship with Veronica.
However, he didn't say it out loud, he just asked calmly:
"But if that's the case, why was Xerxes thrown into the same place as the other Primarchs -"
Halfway through, Soshyan stopped. He recalled what Li had said before. It seemed that Erda had the power of prophecy, and it was possible that the other party had foreseen the death of Xerxes.
Li looked at the stunned Soshiyang and said meaningfully:
"In ancient Terra, there once was a myth. A great god-king overthrew his cruel father. However, when he became king, he heard the prophecy that he would be overthrown by his son. So as soon as his children were born, they were He devoured it until his wife could no longer bear to hide the last child, who eventually did overthrow his equally brutal father."
After listening, Soshiyang stared, lowered his head slightly, and sat back in his chair in a daze.
After a long time, he raised his head slightly and asked in a daze:
"I feel like I'm living a huge scam."
But Li just pointed at his head.
"Some primitive religions in ancient Terra believed that everything in the universe was just a dream of a great god. When this god wakes up, everything will be in vain until the next dream is opened, so it is difficult to say whether the world we see is just a dream. , but actually telling you this is not to make you worry about it, because..."
"Because of what?"
Li spread his hands and said with a smile:
"You are not Xerxes."
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, then blinked, and finally choked out two words.
"Thank you."
"Ha, what's there to be thankful for?"
"Did Dorne go to Ctesiphon?"
Li shook his head.
"I don't know. In fact, I know far less than you think. After the great rebellion, I have been living alone in the ancient ruins of Prambanan. Most of my information about Malcador's plan comes from my mother occasionally. reminder, but you also know that her current form is the same as my father's, and it is not easy for her to walk in the mortal world in person. I can only contact her through very vague dreams, and Dorn didn't say much when he found me."
"What about Waldo? He seems to have left something for Dorne."
"I'm not sure about Waldo. I've always thought that the Imperial Guard was strange, but I've been excluded from the empire's high-level circles for a long time, and I don't like dealing with them. But I have something he left to Dorne. It can’t be called a guess, it’s basically certain.”
"What is it?"
"Gray marrow."
"Greymarrow. Are you saying that Dorn was also involved in this plan?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but Donne should have some knowledge of this plan. As for whether he was involved or involved, I have limited abilities and cannot conduct an in-depth investigation. My mother is also unwilling to tell me too much. She is probably worried. What danger am I in."
"Is this so"
Soshyan sighed in disappointment.
"Li, can I ask you one last question?"
"Please say."
"Emperor. Why did you want to kill Xerxes?"
After hearing this question, Li lowered his head slightly, hid his face under his hood, and answered after a moment of silence:
"I have no idea."
"Li, do you really not know? Are you unwilling to tell me? Or can't you tell me?"
The other party raised his head and looked at Soshyan, his purple eyes full of sincere emotions.
"Soshiyang, I really don't know. I only know that my mother went to my father for a big quarrel that day. After that, my father temporarily placed my mother under house arrest until the death of Brother Xerxes. My mother was very sad when she came back and spent the whole day with her. I shed tears and resented my father's ruthlessness. I could only understand a few things from her words. If I had to say it, I could only infer that there might be something wrong with Gray Marrow, and it seemed that this plan was originally hidden from my father. There may be someone among them who induced Xerxes. The only thing that is certain is that the ones who executed Xerxes were Waldo and Leman Russ. My personal guess is that it was the weapons in their hands that killed Xerxes. Sith."
"Their weapons"
"My father once gave Valdor and Leman Russ a weapon each, which he forged himself. They seemed to be two spears."
"Waldo was actually involved in this matter. Brother Said never said anything."
"etc."
Li suddenly stretched out his withered arm wrapped in bandages.
"Who did you just say?"
"Uh Waldo?"
"The one at the back."
"Brother Said? Well, don't you know this man?"
Li shook his head.
"Tell me what's going on with him."
Then Soshyan told Brother Said's situation.
"In short, what I know so far is that the first generation leader of the White Templar Chapter was named Brother Said, but he passed away, or disappeared, and the Brother Said I met was the Bewitcher. Regarding this matter I have never gotten an answer to this matter, and the confused person has never responded.”
"That's it"
"What's wrong, Lee? What reminds you? Aren't you a Wall Watcher of the Imperial Fists? Why don't you know about such important figures within the White Templars and Astral Knights, who are supposed to be sub-groups?"
Li seemed to be lost in thought and did not immediately answer Soshyan's inquiry.
After a while, he said slowly:
"I understand, it's not that I don't know, it's that he didn't intend to let me know."
"Who, who doesn't want you to know?"
Li did not answer directly, but looked at Soshiyang and asked:
"Do you know why I react so strongly to the name Syd?"
Soshyan shook his head.
".My mother once gave each of her children a nickname. My nickname was Xiaoer, Xerxes's nickname was Haya, and Donne's nickname was...Saed."
