Chapter 218 The Primarch Rises: Dangerous Knowledge

The surface of the steel ship was not illuminated by the strange lightning flashing by. The lightning flashing in the strange starry sky around had various colors, blue, purple, red or green, and those colors illuminated the steel armor and lit up those silent cannons.

The buildings built on the ship lit up intermittently with each lightning flash, and the magnificent cathedral was constantly outlined by it.

There should be no sound in the void, and there should be no sound in the vacuum environment, but here, everything here did not follow the laws of the material world, and the lightning came with thunder.

The thunder hit the armored hull of the ship, and echoed in the gaps between the buildings again and again. With the thunder and lightning, the dull sound penetrated the thick armor, penetrated the complex structural layer of the ship, and penetrated into this training cabin.

Olaf stood in front of the weapon rack, holding an incense burner and chanting ancient scriptures. The smoke from the incense burner fell from the holes in the grid and poured onto the black power armor. Olaf walked in front of the four power armors, and the incense burner swayed gently on his fingers with his steps.

He was old, and the four golden nails meant that he had still fought for the Emperor for four hundred years, and soon this number would become five hundred years, but he still remembered everything he needed to do as a priest. The years had not made his brain blurry and irrational for a moment.

The ancient rune inscriptions were chanted in a deep voice. They were the prayers of the Space Wolves on Fenris. Their functions were no different from those chanted by priests of other chapters. They could all be used to purify pollution, remove ominous breath and bring blessings from the All-Father.

Before every expedition, the warriors would hold such a ceremony. The warriors would kneel in the monastery of the warband, recite scriptures with the priests and ask the All-Father for protection of victory under the solemn hymns and the smoke of the incense burner.

But the habits of the Space Wolves are different. They will not hold large prayer gatherings, which is too inconsistent with the style of the Wolves. Instead, before the war, the warriors would hand over their armor and weapons to the Wolf Priests, who would bless and pray for the weapons they rely on and trust, similar to the opening of the eyes.

The warriors would wear these weapons that had been instructed, wield the sharp blades in the name of the All-Father, and also cut the swords that the All-Father himself had instructed to his enemies.

Olaf was not only a rune priest, but also a wolf priest. He was honored to have both duties at the same time. He believed that this was a talent given to him by the Emperor, and he was ordered to be the Emperor's pious messenger to bring blessings to his brothers, and he had been adhering to this duty for hundreds of years.

Even after coming to the Deathwatch, he never changed. At first, he only performed this ceremony for his own and Ragnar's weapons, but soon Lancelot and Bell also handed over their weapons to him for prayer and instructions, which meant that they trusted him without reservation, which made Olaf particularly honored. Therefore, he never slacked off or tired in any ceremony.

He never relied on the servitors to carry these weapons, nor did he use the servitors to carry the incense burner. He did everything by himself. He believed that only in this way could he live up to the trust of the emperor and his brothers.

Olaf walked to the last piece of armor, chanting scriptures but heard a burst of impatient footsteps. He knew whose footsteps it was, so he raised his head, "It seems that you fought particularly hard today, brothers."

"That's it, do you know what we found down there?" Ragnar complained as he walked into the training room. He slammed the chain saw axe on the bench on the side, grabbed the wine pot covered on the side and drank it in big gulps. He spoke again after the wine rolled down his stomach.

"We killed a demon on the lower deck! A real demon!" Ragnar said loudly, the sharp fangs in his mouth rose and fell, and even threw out the remnants of saliva mixed with beer.

Olaf frowned and lowered the incense burner in his hand. He was particularly alert about this, "Demon? What demon?" "A Nurgle demon, bless the emperor, we killed the beast before he released the plague, and stuffed his body into the vacuum valve and shot it into the void."

The one who answered him was Lancelot. A large amount of disinfectant was dripping from his body, and the smell was extremely pungent. It was obvious that he was the last to kill the Nurgle demon, and after returning, he was caught by Cole and disinfected. Even his hair was covered with disinfectant.

"Have I finished blessing my spare armor? I have to change this set. Please purify and bless it as well." Lancelot said and put the helmet on the table. Olaf nodded slightly to indicate the spare armor beside him. Yes, that's right, each of them has a spare armor.

Don't be surprised, following Vito is such a rich man.

"The situation is getting worse and worse. Now there are even demons boarding the ship to threaten us." Olaf said earnestly, and he couldn't help but worry. Lancelot nodded and lifted his completely wet hair that blocked his eyes.

"Indeed, the situation is getting worse and worse. I'm worried that the demons will soon discover us. Many more demons will invade the ship, or even worse."

Lancelot was hinting at the cultists to rebel. Olaf knew what he meant, and the wolf priest couldn't help but get nervous. "We must leave the subspace as soon as possible. We can't stay in such a deep place in the land of destruction."

"But we still have to wait for Vito to come back. Speaking of Vito, Bell is still reading the book Vito gave him?" Ragna said, sticking his head out to look at the closed hatch not far away. There was a There is a maintenance room, but most of the time it is Bell's personal warehouse, where he stores his medicines, instruments and tools.

He hates people trespassing there. According to him, someone will knock over something. Some knocking over will only make the ground dirty, and some knocking over will kill a whole boatload of people, so there are only He can get in.

Olaf turned around and looked at the hatch and nodded. He grabbed the incense burner and put it on the table and began to take off Lancelot's power armor. "Yes, he has been there for a day or two, except for eating. What books have I been reading since I got out? When I asked him, he didn’t tell me what books they were.”

Lancelot raised his arm and asked Olaf to remove his arm armor. He looked in the direction of the door and shrugged slightly, "I guess it's some secret, the secret of the Inquisition or something like that."

——

Bell looked at the book in his hand, which was a book called "Fallen Angels". He looked at every word on the page with great seriousness, concentration and concentration, as if he was afraid of missing something and leading to misunderstanding.

He must do this. The contents of this book are too dangerous. No wonder Vito has locked them in his room and not published them to the world. This book reveals the truth about Caliban. The home planet of the Dark Angels is not like them. Destroyed not by a supernova explosion as advertised, but by a civil war.

A rebellion and civil war.

In the book, Vito explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail. He was very trustworthy and fair, without any partiality. He recorded Raun's early life, everything from Luther's adoption to the arrival of the Emperor, and then to Luther. Because of the jealousy and resentment caused by the promotion of the Lion King's status, and all the details of his being bewitched by Chaos to lead the rebellion of the Dark Angel Veterans Gate.

Bell was shocked at how Vito knew so many things. In order to confirm the reliability of the content in the book, Vito specifically listed many fallen angels he had met, and Bell was extremely shocked that since these traitors were interested in Vito showed no hostility and spoke almost as if to an old friend.

If Bell hadn't known Vito and knew he was not a traitor, someone else would have concluded that Vito was a traitor who colluded with Chaos, and then burned these precious historical books.

Bell looked at the pages of the book and believed in reading word for word. He did not want to miss any precious records, nor did he want to lead to any wrong thoughts due to negligence.

He was sure that Lancelot didn't know these things, about the fallen angels. The book revealed the internal and external system of the Dark Angels, and their almost crazy pursuit of the fallen angels, which even led to many unforgivable mistakes.

Bell closed the book. He sighed in shock and looked at the pile of books on both sides. Vito lent him all the books without reservation, and even asked him to move them himself.

Vito's original words were, you can take whatever you want to see, and remember to keep it secret and don't let others know.

Bell did indeed do this. He abided by his oath to keep it strictly confidential. Even when Olaf asked, he did not reveal a word. He did not dare to reveal a word at all. Everything here was too dangerous and too scary. .

The content they recorded subverted many official records of the Empire, and even those of many Space Marine chapters. As soon as Bell got these books, he locked them here. He could only read them without sleep and food, eager to know more truth, and at the same time, he also He is always alert that he cannot be betrayed by the Emperor and the Empire.

Bell looked at the dark green book in his hand, and then at the "Second Empire" he had just read on the table. He had never known that his war group had such a history. Those ancient things made him feel Shocking content.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Bell quickly put the book on the table and stood up, subconsciously holding the bolt gun. Then he was horrified to realize the terrible thought he had just had. He quickly released the trigger and stepped back to lean against the wall.

The door was knocked again. "Bell, I don't want to disturb you, but Vito is back. Are you sure you don't want to come with us to pick him up?" Ragna said outside the door.

Bell took a breath, calmed down and looked at the door, "You go ahead, I'll come over after I've sorted out the potions." "Okay, it's okay, just remember not to knock anything over and kill half the people on the boat. ”

Ragnar smiled and his voice faded away. Bell lowered his head and looked at the bolter in front of him, and then at the pile of books in his hand. He was frightened by what he had just thought. He wanted to shoot and shoot at Someone outside the door is shooting, and all this is to save these books.

Bell put the bolter back into the holster, strode open the door and walked out. He turned his head and looked at the books in silence for a moment before closing the door.

As the gates closed, darkness enveloped everything, reincorporating the dangerous knowledge into the darkness.
