Chapter 71 Chapel
Destiny Steel
Ecclesiarchy Chapel
The artificial lights of the entire ship were now automatically adjusted to night mode, and the silver-blue lumens fell like frost from the exquisite towering stained glass windows of the chapel onto the floor paved with colored marble, coating everything outside the shadows with a faint silver glow.
A solemn and peaceful scene.
The extremely slight sound of fabrics rubbing against each other.
Even lighter footsteps.
When the appointed time came, figures wearing black robes that covered their entire faces and bodies gradually emerged from the shadows.
The uninvited guests looked at each other warily and exchanged simple greetings with the agreed gestures.
The acting priest who usually presided over this quiet and solemn sanctuary was not here at the moment.
All the participants knew that "Pastor" Julius was now busy helping his friends and comrades in the pharmacist's workshop and would not return here for a while.
And another group of possible visitors - the members of several squads of the 10th Company who usually came here to pray or meditate, had no time to spare.
Since yesterday, the members of the 10th Company have been thrown into the darkest and deepest decks and cabins of the Iron Blood by the demon body that is suspected to be split by their father for some purpose - the one who impersonated the original name of the first captain - in the name of "new recruits need more training".
According to the common sense of the lower decks of Chaos Void Ships known by the veterans, it is time for these lucky little bastards who have been pampered (very unpleasant) for so long to understand the true face of Chaos, and fall into depravity or go crazy and disfigure their faces and lose some arms and legs.
- Uh-huh, the shadow demon of the father of genes, "that" Kaiduo must have said, "If there is really something missing, you can go down and rescue them."
To be honest, this shadow demon is even surprisingly reasonable. After all, it even made a rescue plan for these little bastards, right?
But it's hard to say. At present, the speculation about this demon is swinging between whether it is "a hidden danger left by Fulgrim for the Iron Lord ten thousand years ago" or "another whimsical fun of the Supreme Conspirator", and the support rate of both sides is almost fifty-fifty.
In summary, the guests welcomed by this chapel of the Destiny Steel today are obviously not good people.
After checking the surroundings again and making sure there are no other interferences, the mysterious black-robed visitors gathered in the tall, row-by-row corridor of thick marble pillars on one side of the chapel. Under the gaze of the exquisite alabaster, brass and bronze statues carefully carved and cast with the faces of the Holy Throne of Terra, the Primarch and the Saints of the State Church, they used various gestures to quietly carry out a very colorful conversation in the shadows.
- I still want to ask, is this location okay? It feels really strange for us to gather here.
- No problem, as far as I know, the Father of Genes doesn't like to pay too much attention to this place.
- This is completely understandable.
——I feel something tingling all over my skin. It doesn't feel good here. Let's finish talking and leave.
——Okay, how are you guys doing recently? We haven't had a gathering for a long time.
——Just barely, I mean, we all look much taller.
——Don't mention it! Biceps forged from brass! Sooner or later I will twist off the head of that half-blooded bastard and place it under my father's throne!
——You are too irritable. We should first formulate a series of perfect and sophisticated plans for each goal, and then implement them step by step to ensure that everything is within the plan.
——Indeed, life is so beautiful, why should we be so irritable? Enjoy the beauty of life. Every day will bring us new surprises... Hehe.
——If you want to feel the beauty of life, I will first suggest that you change your perfume next time. It smells my nose.
——That's a pity, my dear fighting brother.
——Stop talking nonsense. Before we officially start, let me see if there are a few people missing here today? Is there anyone who really can't leave?
——Is there? Not that many missing, right? The number of people is about the same? I think.
——Forget it, let me summarize the recent developments: I believe that after we set out from Medlengard for so long, "Iron Blood is not right" and "Gene Father is very wrong" are two facts that we can confirm without a doubt.
The mysterious robes nodded one after another.
——So let me see what new information you brought today.
With a burst of rustling exchanges, some disposable read-only data crystals, data boards with read-and-burn effects, or some special, untraceable data temporary relay units and other carriers were all handed over to the convener.
——Recently, there are unusual things about these two. Well, it is now an open secret that my father and his Chaos Shadow are inseparable. Everyone knows it; let me see, that shadow demon is very likely not in human form, and it is likely to wear some kind of fur on its body, use spices, and eat with my father, and the food does not need to add special nutrients for Astartes - we have known this for a long time! Can you use your brain a little to concentrate when attending a party? !
The summoner made a dissatisfied heavy breathing sound from some kind of machine.
- OK, there are reports of sightings of mysterious figures, wings and birds... You can add attention to it, but I suspect that it is just the little pet that the Iron Lord has recently raised.
-- Let me see what this is, 99.99% is Dorn's living saint or a body that can be possessed... Thank you, this battle brother, we all know this, you were almost chopped into 17 or 18 pieces by him... There is no need to write so much detail about the following part about Dorn possibly possessing the living saint and tempting us, the great gene father, to ignore his existence! Don't stuff this kind of messy content in next time! ! Oh, the detailed route of the original body's mobile office is also the same, I even have a rotation duty list for each exit, nothing new. So are there any new and unusual clues that can be reported?
Someone in the shadows seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous and gave a restrained laugh.
The convener quickly browsed more data carriers, and the explosion of sparks and the crackling of information crystals continued to come from the depths of his robe sleeves.
-- The drastic change in the personality of the gene father is related to the shadow demon clone Khadormo who is very likely to split, and the personalities of both parties may be opposite, and attach a detailed observation and analysis report? Hmm? This is quite interesting, very detailed, thanks to this battle brother for his dedication and courage. This document is detailed and rich in data... Based on this, we can...
The secret gathering of the black robes continues.
The silver moonlight shines on the Emperor's statue in the chapel.
The eyes of the Lord of Mankind are watching quietly and quietly.
Quack
See you at dinner
