Chapter 331 Lord Cypher

When these strange creatures crawled out of their space channels and appeared in front of Morgan one after another, the primarch's pupils dilated to the extreme in an instant.

Danger!

In the dark, some kind of primitive panic bursts out from the deepest part of the brain, escaping from the instinctive will comparable to a beast. It swallows up the rational brain in the blink of an eye, and follows the nerves and spine, like Spreading like a virus, the cold wind of fear swept everything, and plunged the Primarch into the trembling ice cave.

Danger!

Danger!

Dangerous smell!

Not enough to kill her, but enough to hurt her and cause her trouble and pain.

They can do this: Although there is no reason or basis, Morgan still believes in this conclusion. She is like a lioness facing a leopard, feeling the hostility from blood and instinct.

It made the hairs on her neck stand up and rekindled the fear in her heart.

【……】

And after this wave of fear, there was a counterattack of boundless anger.

Morgan frowned. In her blue eyes, a trace of almost imperceptible cold murderous intent flashed. The sudden pause of finger tapping and the leak of a breath were like a storm, merciless. The ground swept across the entire throne room, crushing Lord Cypher and those short creatures wearing green robes.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and when the Spider Queen restrained her breath, the situation had become a little complicated: or it could be said that the situation was tense.

For the maids of the stars, the mother's brief gaffe is the most urgent and sacred war cry. Whether it is Virgo, who is already prepared, or Ophiuchus, who is working hard in the laboratory, at the moment when the air wave begins to sweep across , quickly flashed in front of the Lord of Avalon. The long guns and short cannons with full firepower were enough to tear apart a knight mecha in an instant. Now they were all aimed at Lord Seifer and those uninvited [guests]. .

【Stop! 】

Before everything was irreversible, the Spider Queen, who had regained her rationality, even contained the accident. She comforted her two creations with the simplest commands, and her emotions had also completed the transition from the initial fear to the subsequent anger, and now the rational transformation.

This trio of the Sea of ​​Souls didn't even take a second. When the old guards guarding the door knocked on the door and asked, Morgan easily fooled them, dismissed his two maids, and then He focused his playful eyes on the guests in front of the throne.

[Jonson told me about you: but he didn’t say much. 】

The Spider Queen's laughter struck Lord Cypher on the shoulder: this mysterious warrior had long been knocked down by the inadvertent wave of anger from the Primarch, and was now kneeling on the ground dripping with sweat, feeling Asta's The terrifying gulf between the special warriors and the Emperor's children is almost impossible to cross.

On the contrary, the little people in green robes on the side looked much more calm: these strange humanoid creatures were not even up to Morgan's knees, but the magical hoods they wore were enough to hide their faces, making the spider Even the Queen cannot detect their appearance and inner nature.

【……】

A creation not to be underestimated.

Morgan came to a conclusion in his mind.

While the Spider Queen was hesitating, more and more robed figures were accumulating in front of her like NPCs spawned out of thin air. They first lifted up Lord Cypher, who was obviously in poor condition, and then Like a group of restless kittens, they huddled together and murmured, seemingly internally selecting the person to talk to the Primarch.

The Spider Queen watched coldly as more than twenty little men in robes crowded in front of her. She found that they were constantly communicating and debating with each other, and it seemed difficult to end it quickly. So, she shifted her gaze to the person who had just stood up and was still a little unable to stand. On the stable Lord Cypher.

Morgan's voice was like ice: it was a cruel sentence that no Dawnbreaker had ever experienced and could not imagine.

[Tell me, Lord Cypher of the Dark Angel Legion: What do you want to do with these things that are obviously not human and come to my flagship through unknown means? 】

Lord Cypher coughed and seemed to stabilize his breathing.

"Mr. Morgan, the first thing I want to tell you is that these creatures in front of you are companions recognized by the Knights of Caliban. They have a formal name, which is the Black Watcher."

"Secondly, it was not me who brought the Black Watchers here: on the contrary, it was the Black Watchers who felt your arrival and your purpose, so they called me and asked me to come here with them."

【……】

[Are you working with these aliens? 】

"It's the Black Watcher..."

[Don’t be sophistical here! They can't be human, then they must be aliens, and the Astartes warriors who collude with the aliens will only have one end: My patience is being consumed by you, Lord Cypher, you'd better think carefully about your next move every answer. 】

[Jonson wouldn't mind me judging one of his sons, especially a taint of the Legion like you: I'll give you to my brother Conrad as a reward for being so obedient and sensible. 】

"..."

Lord Cypher lowered his head. Under his hood, endless sweat was gathering due to pressure and fear, soaking his pupils: he knew very well that all Morgan's words were not bluffs, because the Lord of the Second Legion In that gentle tone, he felt the most terrifying indifference and murderous intent.

Morgan looked at him: as if he were looking at a pastry that had become rotten and infested with worms.

With his Adam's apple rolling up and down, Lord Cypher tried to keep his voice calm.

"First of all, I hope you can know, Lord Primarch: My position was personally assigned by Lord Jonson. He knows the existence of the Black Watch and my connection with them. Both of the above points have been approved by him. default."

"Secondly: The Black Watch are an important part of Caliban. They have existed on this planet for a long time. If you want to accomplish something on Caliban, you cannot avoid them anyway."

The dry and powerful voice of Lord Cypher echoed in the ears of the Primarch. Although Morgan was still entrenched on her throne, she had already put away her murderous intention: the previous terrifying words were just a means of intimidation. , although Jonson may not mind Morgan killing one of his heirs, the often overlooked golden sword in the Spider Queen's heart makes it impossible for her to kill this [innocent person].

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Morgan also pulled out the information about Lord Cypher from his mind: The Spider Queen is very familiar with these mysterious but unclassified documents in the First Legion. She may be the third person in the entire galaxy who knows the Dark Angels. Legion characters.

The so-called Lord Cypher is actually a very vague position: this position does not have any actual power. It originated from various knights in the past in the world of Caliban. Its main function is to maintain traditional culture and preside over various ceremonies. Therefore, although it does not have any actual power, , but the status is very high.

After Jonson either united or destroyed all the knights in Caliban, Lord Cypher's position and responsibilities were also absorbed into Jonson's [Grand Knights], and were later taken over by the Dark Angel Legion. Admittedly, there is even a statue of Lord Cypher in the six-wing conference room on the Indomitable Truth.

But despite this, the current Lord Seifer did not participate in the Great Crusade, but stayed on Caliban. His origin is also very mysterious: he is Jonson who never joined forces after unifying all the knights. A mysterious figure who was promoted from somewhere, no one knows his past or name.

Thinking of this, Morgan couldn't help but glance at the Black Watchers: If the current Lord Cypher is indeed cooperating with these aliens, and Jonson also has a tacit attitude towards this...

It seems that she is about to step into a little secret of Lord Caliban again...

The Spider Queen chuckled.

She has no fear of this: although her lion blood relatives treat her secrets like a big cat treats her belly, they are astonishingly sensitive, and they are as close as Morgan. If they dare to step into the thunder pool, they will also suffer the consequences. Caliban's frenzied thrashing and biting.

Don't ask her how she knew.

But now, things are different.

Holding the sword of [Collecting Three Artifacts], Morgan has the courage to run rampant in Caliban. Even if she blows up this unfortunate world, Jonson will not be able to say anything.

A moment of fantasy bloomed in the Spider Queen's mind, and a shocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In front of this smile, the little people in robes who had been arguing silently seemed to have reached some kind of compromise. These The living fossil of Caliban in the mouth of Lord Cypher...

…

【……】

etc!

Morgan's eyes lit up.

Her brain started to work: a multi-threaded processor capable of coordinating an interstellar empire and mastering a sectoral war, and began to rush around a few simple words: Caliban, Black Watcher, Ancient, Three Artifacts...

Ouroboros...

Morgan blinked: Those secrets that mortals need to spend more than ten years to pry into, in front of the powerful computing power and logical array of the Lord of Avalon, are just guessing and reasoning, screening and summarizing in one second.

When Morgan spoke again, her voice had turned to affirmation.

[Lord Cypher. 】

She looked at the hooded warrior and pointed at the robed figure next to her.

[These black watchers, I think what they need to watch should be Ouroboros, one of the three subspace artifacts: that thing is on Caliban now, and you or they know its location, right? 】

"..."

"Indeed, Your Excellency, this is exactly why we are here."

[As you know, I am collecting three subspace artifacts. 】

"The Black Watchers can see what will happen in the future."

[Ah... another prophecy. 】

Morgan chuckled lightly, twirling the ends of her silver hair with her fingers, and glanced at Lord Cypher, who had regained his energy. Her tone was no different from an ordinary command.

[In this case, we don’t need to waste time on red tape: the ship will arrive at Caliban soon. As soon as we arrive in that world, you and these strange things will bring me into the presence of Ouroboros. , let me take it away and it will be over. 】

【Do you have any objections? 】

"..."

"have."

Lord Cypher almost squeezed out these words through his teeth. As he expected, before the words had even landed, the killing intent from the Primarch had turned into an almost substantial blade again, stopping at on his neck.

【You only have one chance. 】

"..."

Lord Cypher acted much calmer than Morgan expected.

"Because the situation of Ouroboros is beyond your expectation, Lord Primarch, you cannot successfully conquer it. It is more independent, sinful and powerful than the other two subspace artifacts in your hands. You must Only with the assistance of the Black Watchers can we take it away."

[Are they willing to help me? 】

"It requires communication between you and them."

【……】

Morgan hesitated for a moment, but she finally retracted her murderous intention: because those little men in robes named Black Watchers had already elected their representatives, and this representative with strange power just took a step forward and let The Spider Queen felt uncomfortable.

As a precaution, Morgan temporarily suppressed her overwhelming anger at the aliens: just as she had in front of Trazin.

Lord Cypher took a step back and came to the side of the Black Watchers. After calming down his mind, he also took the initiative to ask amid some huge confusion in his heart.

"I don't understand, my lord: your attitude toward me seems entirely different from what you have been told."

Morgan glanced at him.

【What do you think I should do? Say hello to you humbly? 】

"..."

"At the very least, everyone says you are one of the most polite Primarchs."

[Good compliment. 】

Morgan smiled contemptuously.

[But you have to realize one thing, Zhuang Sen's warrior: You are a guy who has cooperated with the alien. When dealing with people like you, it is the greatest courtesy that I can suppress the anger in my heart. You are still alive, I The highest degree of kindness that can be unleashed. 】

Lord Cypher was silent for a moment.

"So, you're so angry?"

[Any original body will be angry, but my anger is even more obvious: I hate all aliens from the bottom of my heart, and all those who collude with the aliens. 】

"But……"

Caliban hesitated, as if he was debating whether to say the words or not.

"You are now also working with the Black Watch: you must work with them."

【yes. 】

Morgan waved his hand casually.

[So, I hate myself too. 】

[Since a long time ago, I have hated myself and never stopped. 】

【Do you have any questions? 】

"……No."

【very good. 】

Morgan smiled and shifted her gaze to the representative of the Black Watchers: With this guy, Lord Cypher becomes irrelevant.

[Tell me about it, little one. 】

Morgan drummed his fingers on the armrest.

【What do you want from me? 】

The representative of the Black Watch: a creature that looks like it can stand on the palm of the original gene. Its appearance is completely hidden by the hood, but it can feel some excessive physical expression ability.

But despite this, its indescribable ethereal voice poured into Morgan's brain from the waves of the sea of ​​souls, completing the communication between the two.

Just like the Tuchucha engine.

"We are here for Ouroboros, Primarch."

Black Watcher said it all.

[Will you help me get it? 】

Morgan got right to the point. She didn't bother to have a long conversation with these little things that scared her.

"No."

Black Watcher shook his head.

"We won't let you take it away."

【……】

[Then we are enemies? 】

"No."

Still shaking his head.

"We will be friends and comrades-in-arms."

[Do you feel that there is some kind of logical problem in your previous and following words? 】

"..."

The two broad sleeves of the Black Watcher were entangled together, as if they were doing something similar to rubbing their hands together.

"The future leads us to you, Primarch, and the future is not bound by any logic: especially for you."

【……】

【What's the meaning? 】

"It's very simple: for everyone, the future is a kind of poison, something that cannot bring complete benefits, but you are different. The future is a source of strength for you, but you have never realized it. at this point."

"And we will help you realize where your true power lies."

"When your power awakens, you will know what you should do."

"You will know: You must give up the Ouroboros on Caliban."

My illness is not cured, it is getting worse, and I am in terrible pain. I can barely write a chapter. I'll make up for it in two days.
