Chapter 82 The End of the Era: Parliamentary Interrogation
This was not the first time Vito was "interrogated". Vito had forgotten why and who interrogated him during many trials. Of course, there were a few times that were so vivid that he could not forget them, including the scene when he was interrogated for the first time in Athens. He vaguely remembered that he was expected to conspire with the Persians, but in the end, nothing happened to him.
He remembered that it was Themistocles who defended him, and another time when he was tried together with Martin Luther during the Thirty Years' War. Oh, that time was really memorable, especially for the young man Luther.
But among the many memories of being tried, of course, there was also the experience of being interrogated by this group of godly spirits, although Vito had forgotten how long ago it was, and the concept of time was too vague for him.
But this time probably had a place in his memory. He looked at the majestic prophet in front of him. He was wearing a robe like a blazing fire, and the fire phoenix symbol of Asuryan was flying on it. The raging fire seemed to really burn on him.
There were still some prophets standing on the steps of the circular hall. They were standing scattered. Vito couldn't help but sigh at the decline of the Eldar population today. He remembered the Eldar Empire Parliament, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, when it was full. He remembered the glory and achievements of the empire.
But now only these survivors are left, continuing the last trace of the ancient Eldar civilization.
"Welcome, ancient guardian, although I hope to welcome you when the sea of destiny is calm." The great prophet said, the expression of the Eldar was still humble, at least by their standards.
Vito also nodded slightly in return, using the ancient Eldar Empire etiquette, "May the fire of Asuryan bless you, Great Prophet." "May the light of Isha's life shine on you, Ancient Guardian."
Vito's performance was satisfactory, at least he didn't hear the Eldar's evaluation of the "barbarians", but this achievement took Vito a lot of energy. He still remembered how much effort he spent on learning and mastering the Eldar's understanding and language in order to stop the territorial dispute with the Human Federation in the northern part of the galaxy with the Eldar Empire.
To be honest, Vito often even envied the greenskins, who only had to consider two things: where to fight and how to fight, and that was it.
"We summoned you here to inquire about the waves of the road of destiny. Our destiny has been changed, and the anchor of destiny has been moved! We are not allowed to know the purpose of its actors."
Okay, it's a riddle again. Vito hates these guys the most at this time, but it seems that he can only guess the riddle. Okay, I can try.
Vito pretended to be calm as he looked at the Great Prophet and tilted his head slightly to look at the prophets around him, "What kind of fluctuations? How are the turbulent waves of the Sea of Destiny changing?"
"Someone stole the rivets of the Sea of Destiny. The greatest things of our clan were stolen and are now missing, and it's not just Iyangden who is like this." Another prophet said. He was wearing a blue robe and looked like a believer of another Eldar Hess. What does that god do? Damn, I forgot.
Vito still nodded slightly calmly, and then looked at Iyangna for help. He knew that the girl must know that he was completely confused now and didn't understand what they were talking about.
The beautiful female prophet cleared her throat and slightly lifted her sleeves, "The life crystal transformed by our colleagues was stolen, and the Ark's spiritual vein circuit was destroyed."
Ah, now Vito knows why, and why they are so neurotic.
The soul crystal of the prophet was stolen. In order to avoid being devoured by Slaanesh, the Ark Eldar will be contained in the soul stone when they die, and their souls will be kept in it to integrate into the circuit of the Ark to avoid being devoured by Slaanesh sister. Although Vito didn't know whether the souls of the Eldar were so delicious.
The soul crystal of the prophet is another thing. When an old prophet goes too far on the road of psychic power and prophecy, when he himself is still inseparable from the sea of soul, he will crystallize himself and change into a dazzling crystal.
The powerful force condensed in the crystal is an important way to drive the Ark circuit and defend the soul barrier of the Ark. Well, it's probably the kind of burning a thousand psychics for the Golden Throne.
Someone stole it? That madman stole it?
But before Vito asked, he looked at the look in Iyanna's amber eyes and reacted. Vito was startled at first and then cursed in a low voice, this time using human language.
The Great Prophet raised his head slightly, not upset by his etiquette. He waved his fingers in the air, and spiritual veins were drawn on the hall. The flickering fluorescence represented the pulsation of the Ark circuit.
And Vito could clearly see that some of them were obviously dim, which meant that the shielding effect of the entire Ark on the subspace was also weakened.
"I think you already know the seriousness of the situation, ancient guardian, so I ask you in the name of Asuryan to tell me the whereabouts and purpose of Aidalad Osuran."
Vito cursed in his heart, Aidalad, what stupid things did you do as a madman? Steal the crystal corpse of the prophet? Are you crazy? ! But there is nothing you can do now.
Vito still looks very calm, as if he has no guilt at all, "Have you asked the Prophet Council of Uswe?"
"Yes, we have already asked our brothers of the same race, and we also learned that Eldarad not only interfered with our destiny, but also interfered with almost all other Ark worlds. The same shameful behavior happened in every Ark. ”
Damn it, Eldarad, you old lunatic.
Vito took a deep breath. He knew the seriousness of the situation. "I have doubts about this, Great Prophet, but I don't know Eldarad Ulsuran's plan. In fact, I don't."
"There is no need to defend him, and there is no need to worry about yourself. The ancient guardian, our respected prophet Yiyanna saw Eldarad meeting you in a dream, and we do not intend to judge you for this." The prophet said, Vito turned to look at Yiyanna, who nodded helplessly and seemed slightly apologetic.
But Vito would not blame her. She did everything she should do. Vito cleared his throat and looked at the chief prophet with one hand behind his back, "Yes, Adarad once met me in a dream. "The purpose is to warn me that Abaddon will launch the Black Crusade."
The Great Seer and his colleagues around him looked at each other. They seemed to be communicating psychically. Vito could eavesdrop on what they were saying but he wasn't going to take the chance.
"Why did he warn you about this?" the Great Prophet asked, and Vito shrugged slightly, slightly confused, "Because we are friends, and the Eldar and humans should have joined hands to fight Chaos long ago, Great Prophet."
"Then did he tell you anything else? For example, his whereabouts, whereabouts, or anything else." His blue-robed prophet said, obviously not intending to let Vito get away with it like this.
Vito frowned slightly, but this time he was also observed in detail. The great prophet waved his hand to disperse the spiritual network. "The Prophet Council of Uthwe informed us that Eldarad has escaped, and no one knows about him." His whereabouts, you were the last one to come into contact with him, ancient guardian, you know something and you are still hiding it.”
"This has nothing to do with humans." "No, as you said, the fates of humans and the Eldar have long been connected. He must have told and hoped that you would do something, answer us, and then you can leave."
Vito frowned and looked directly at the Great Prophet, "Then what will you do?" "Stop you from changing the trajectory of your destiny, and everything will return to the right path."
Vito looked at the imposing Great Prophet in silence. The sunlight from the arched windows behind him projected into the hall, and the golden statue of Asuryan's fire phoenix shone with dazzling light.
Yiyanna looked warily at the serious colleagues around her. The atmosphere was extremely cold. She looked at Vito thoughtfully, and she also knew Vito's answer.
The ancient guardian raised his head and looked at the Great Prophet with the same proud expression, "No, I won't tell you."
"I must protect the fate of my species, Great Prophet."
The Great Prophet raised his cane and struck the ground fiercely. Fire spurted out from the end and a fire phoenix spread its wings behind him. "Then you cannot leave until you tell us everything."
Vito took two steps and looked around at the hostile prophets. At this moment, two Eldar howling banshees also appeared behind him. Two warriors holding psychic spears suddenly appeared behind Vito. The judge looked at After a while, they glanced at Iyanna, who nodded affirmatively to signal Vito not to do anything stupid.
Vito sighed and turned around to be "escorted away" by the banshees. The Great Prophet watched Vito leave the hall.
Yiyanna watched Vito leave and took out the disk monitor hidden in her sleeves. She took a deep breath and hid it back.
"You idiots," Iyanna said, obviously not targeting Vito alone.
