Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 87 The End of the Era: Vito and Iyanna

Iyangna's room is similar to most Eldar huts, with antique and exotic decorations, a lot of wooden structures and colorful walls and domes, and moonlight shining in from behind the arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on the bed with messy books.

She walked in from the door, and when she waved her finger lightly, the door closed naturally. Iyangna walked to a shutter and looked at the moonlit land outside through the gap in the window.

The silver moonlight shone on the forests and mountains, and the entire Ark world was like a real paradise. Iyangna knew what the Milky Way outside was like, and she also knew how rare such a place was in the Milky Way today. It was no wonder that her people were obsessed with hiding in this peach garden and actively ignored everything outside.

But the dark galaxy still existed. It was not far from them. It was just across the virtual sky of the Ark giant ship. The destructive power outside the ship existed all the time.

Iyangna also knew that hiding was meaningless. It was just delaying the arrival of destruction, using false dreams to numb herself and everyone else.

She sighed and walked to the wardrobe in her corner. Iyangna's wardrobe was also made of wood, and its shape was very similar to Vito's, except that this table had many more patterns and designs of the Eldar.

She opened the door and took out a reddish-brown cloak from it. The cloak didn't seem to fit her at all. The cloak was a circle smaller, and it looked like it was prepared by a teenager.

Iyangna took the cloak and walked to a pool of water. In her room, there was a small pool in front of the big window. The shining clear water in it was shining like a brilliant galaxy.

Iyangna put the red cloak in it. The cloth did not float up, but sank slowly downwards in a very strange way and finally floated between the bottom of the pool and the surface of the water. The starlight reflected the halo of the cloak itself, and the faint red light gradually spread in the pool.

Iyangna took a deep breath and buried her face in the pool. Her eyes broke through the water, and countless bubbles and brilliant halos flashed quickly in front of her eyes. She looked at the flashing bubbles and the pictures in them. Memories emerged in front of her eyes with the flow of water.

——

The young Iyangna stood behind the man in a cloak with her arms folded. Her long red hair fell from both sides of the hood. Her big crimson eyes looked at the man who was communicating with the man behind the bar. He was wearing a black armor, with a bolter and a chainsaw sword hanging on his waist, just like most "barbarians".

The silver studded boots made a sound on the ground from time to time. Vito Constantine was communicating with the human in his strange Gothic accent.

Iyangna stood in the hall of the tavern. The drinkers who were much taller than her walked around her. The much smaller Eldar girl seemed so easy to be ignored among them, but so eye-catching.

Vito put a few imperial silver coins on the bar, turned around and came to Iyangna, he slightly tilted his head to signal the latter to follow him, Iyangna followed him to the corner of the bar near the door, a secluded corner.

They hid outside the noisy drinkers and lustful assholes, Iyangna looked at them with contempt, then raised her head and looked at Vito expressionlessly, but there was still a trace of resentment in her eyes.

Vito smiled and squatted down to the same level as Iyangna, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like this kind of place, but work is work, isn't it?"

"Get paid for work." Iyangna said coldly, but Vito still looked at the Eldar girl in front of him with a smile on his face. He knew that this girl was in a rebellious period. To be honest, I didn't expect that both Eldar and human children would have such a time.

"We received a small reward, didn't we? Interstellar travel requires money, dear." Vito said with a smile, but Iyanna still looked resentful. She didn't like the feeling of being paid for work, which made her feel like a mercenary.

Although they were indeed, Vito always used all kinds of high-sounding and clever ways to beautify and embellish their lives and careers, and what annoyed Iyanna the most was that he obviously did this for her, as if she was a child who would never grow up.

She had obviously followed him to do so much and done so much work, but he still treated her like a little girl, which made Iyanna most dissatisfied.

And now, he obviously planned to do it again.

Vito stood up with his hands on his knees. He patted the bolter on his waist, "I'll go find more clues about the Tzeentch cult, and you, Iyanna, try not to cause trouble, okay?"

The Eldar girl still looked at Vito expressionlessly, the anger in her eyes was still there, and she was very sure that Vito knew why he was angry. She folded her arms and looked cold, "You should say this to yourself, old bastard."

Vito laughed suddenly, then turned and left. He waved his hand, "Just don't get yourself into trouble, little girl."

Vito could feel Iyanna's teeth grinding and the bone pipa sound of her clenched fists. Vito shrugged lightly and walked into the crowd, "Little girl, you're not even twenty years old and you're already pretending to be old, you naughty kid."

Iyanna watched Vito walk into the crowd. She cursed in a low voice in displeasure, but perhaps she didn't realize that she subconsciously cursed people with the same weird Gogoth language as Vito.

Yiyanna walked to the bartender who had just negotiated with Vito. She sat on the high chair, took the empty wine glass and knocked on the table. The bartender looked at the little girl in front of her with a joking face, "Hey, you old Does dad allow you to drink?"

"He's not my dad!" Yiyanna said viciously, while the bald bartender shrugged disapprovingly, "I think he looks quite similar, just like my dad."

The bartender smiled and suddenly found a long knife pressed against his throat. Yiyana did not know when she pulled out the long knife on her waist at a speed that could be said to be instantaneous. The delicate handle was slightly curved. Holding it in her hand.

Yiyanna stared at the bartender fiercely, her eyes full of anger, "Pour it for me."

The bartender was not afraid, but jokingly smiled and poured a glass of wine with a low alcohol content for the fried kitten in front of her. Yiyana took the glass and took a sip, while the bald man looked at Yiyana curiously. , slightly confused, "Did you inherit this hair color from your mother?"

"I told you he's not my dad." The little girl said as she drank by herself, while the bartender shrugged, "Then who is he to you? Your brother or your adoptive father?"

Yiyanna didn't say anything, but it was obvious that the bartender understood what he said. He smiled and put his arms on the table, "To be honest, I think he is a good person. In this world, little girl, there are people who are willing to take care of you and teach you." If he plays with knives and pretends to be ruthless, then he is a good person.”

Yiyanna glanced at the bartender and didn't say anything. She just drank by herself. The moment the sweet wine slipped from the tip of her tongue, she heard a voice, a conversation.

The little Eldar girl turned her eyes slightly and looked at the two people at the other end of the bar. They were two well-dressed men. They were gathering together and chatting in a low voice, but their words were still ignored by the Eldar. The keen sense of hearing caught it.

"Did you get the goods?" one of them asked, while the other man with a bald spot on his head nodded, "Yes, I got it."

"Is there any trouble?" The man who asked the question, with a slightly sinister look on his face, continued to ask. The man with the bald spot on his head shrugged slightly, "The law enforcement officer was bribed by us, and there is no problem at all, although those children were treated by me. A lot of trouble, if I kill one of them, won’t it have any impact on the ceremony?”

"Don't worry, my friend, I thought of this part when preparing the consumables and left room for loss." The "gentleman" with a sly eyebrow said, he drank the wine in his hand, and then placed a few coins on the table. Then he called his colleagues and left together.

The bartender went over to collect the wine glasses and pay, while Yiyanna narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the two people. After she drank the wine, she jumped off the high chair and followed them.

The Eldar girl followed not far behind them. She walked through the streets and crowds dexterously and skillfully. She was still very familiar with how to survive and move in human society, and she also knew how to prevent others from noticing her.

Yi Yangna walked between people, but her eyes were still locked on the two people in front. They walked into an alley at the corner of the street one after another. Yi Yangna leaned forward and hid behind the corner. .

She poked her head out and saw the two people entering a house. There was also a guard with tattoos on his arms standing at the door.

"Yyanna, don't get yourself into trouble." A female voice came from the communicator in her ear, and Yiyanna frowned and leaned back behind the corner, "Shut up, Helen, this is my business!"

"No, Yiyanna, the commander told you to stay well and don't get into trouble." "I know what I'm doing! I can handle everything!" the Elf girl said angrily, while Helen sighed helplessly, "Iyanna, "You don't need to prove anything to him." "I didn't!" the Elf girl said, turning off the communicator, opening her cloak and slowly drawing out her long knife.

The guard with large tattoos on his arms heard a whistle. He turned his head and looked over there, and then a long knife was inserted into his face, and the guard fell to the ground.

Yiyanna walked up and pulled out her long knife. She opened the door at the entrance and looked around before getting in.

The two guards who were playing cards in the room on the first floor of the house turned their heads. They heard the sound of the door opening and closing, but they just stood up and fell to the ground before they could make any action or reaction.

Yiyanna whirled and slid between them, the long knife slid, and the head fell to the ground.

She ran down the long dim stairs. The building was not high or big, but it had a long corridor leading underground. It seemed that the space below was not small, and it was indeed the case.

Yiyanna got out of the exit at the end. She rolled and hid behind a box. She popped her head and looked at the magic circle below. It was a blue magic circle decorated with many dazzling patterns. There were a total of There are nine casting circles, each corresponding to a child.

They were tied up and thrown into the ring, and the two men were communicating with the cultists here, and they were planning the work of performing the ritual.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have organized the local defense force and the Ministry of Justice. As long as we summon the prophet, we can successfully break away from the empire's bureaucrats!" The man with a sinister eyebrow said confidently, "We We no longer have to be bound by the empire and that bullshit corpse emperor! We will be the masters of this galaxy from now on! And under the protection of the Lord of Change, we will be immortal!"

Idiot, Yiyanna cursed in her mind and looked at that man. Obviously, this is a classic local planet ruling group, thinking that they are awesome and have the opportunity to rule unscrupulously without the empire and the emperor.

Iyanna and Vito had solved similar problems many times together, and apparently there was always someone with the same short memory.

She held a long knife in her hand, but suddenly a voice appeared in her mind. It was a strange voice, thin and unpredictable.

"Kill him, kill them, prove yourself to Vito, gain strength, and make everyone look at you with admiration." The voice said, speaking extremely seductively, Yiyanna shook her head and leaned against the box .

"Kill, kill, you can get power, knowledge and everything, Yiyanna, revenge, revenge for your parents and friends, let them respect you, you are not a little girl." The voice chuckled, as if ethereal Ringing from every corner.

Yiyanna pressed her head and then stood up. She jumped on the box and then jumped off. The man was still boasting and was suddenly stabbed in the back with a knife.

Yiyanna stepped on the ground and cut off the man's neck before he let out his first scream. The surrounding cultists raised their guns in panic and pointed them at Yiyanna, but the Eldar's agility The speed was surprisingly fast, she appeared and slaughtered the cultists with almost lightning speed.

Laser guns and physical bullets were completely unable to hit her. The red-haired girl and her reddish-brown cloak were like afterimages. She kept jumping between the splashing blood and the corpse. The blade cut through the flesh and blood, cutting a An enemy was killed and fell to the ground.

The bald-spotted man raised his meat cleaver and slashed at Yiyanna. She turned sideways to avoid the blow to the head, then cut off his hands with a backhand, and cut off his neck amidst the man's painful screams.

"Ah, great, kill, kill, you can do all this, get all this, Yiyanna, the great female fighter of the Eldar." The voice praised Yiyanna, and as she killed, she and the enemy Falling to the ground gradually became more and more passionate.

"Great Yiyanna, outstanding warrior, hahaha, kill them all, and I will tell you how to gain power and get all this." The unpredictable voice said with a smile, and the laughter was like a catalyst that made Yiyanna's Her consciousness began to blur, and she began to see many things. At that time, her hometown was destroyed, she saw the demon who killed her family, and she saw the burning sea of ​​fire.

Yiyanna screamed and killed each enemy one by one. She killed them faster and more cruelly. Blood spattered on the ritual ring, and the screams reached a climax with the crazy slaughter.

The laughter became louder and louder, and it continued to encourage Yiyanna. The surrounding cultists gradually turned into afterimages and black screens, and their faces turned into the looks of those demons. Yiyana killed them one after another. One of them fell to the ground.

Her eyes began to flash their blue light, and an unpredictable silhouette appeared in her shadow. He giggled and seemed to enjoy everything at the moment.

Yiyanna was fighting a shadow. This shadow was extremely difficult to deal with. It kept blocking Yiyanna's blade. The Elf girl screamed and kept attacking. Pictures of the past and the future flashed around her.

It was a picture of her defeating Chaos, defeating Slaanesh and regaining her homeland. It was a picture of countless compatriots singing her praises, a picture of recognition and respect.

She beheaded another cultist in front of her. The man was neatly cut off from the shoulder by the long knife. The whole person fell into two halves and fell to the ground. Yiyanna held the knife and gasped gently. In front of her eyes The battlefield was constantly flashing with flames and chaos, and various memories were interspersed together. Even Yiyana saw some memories that did not seem to belong to her.

Those crazy, instigating and proud emotions impacted her thinking, and the entire basement seemed to have turned into a vortex, amplifying her desire and pursuit infinitely.

She heard footsteps, and a human-shaped shadow came down the stairs. He was wearing something like a cloak and looked at her.

The voice continued to encourage her to kill the last person in front of her. The voice was like a hallucinogen that penetrated deep into the soul. Yiyanna's long knife kept hitting his blade, but the latter only defended without fighting back.

Yiyana swung the long knife with her backhand and hit the blade, then turned around again and hit a psychic shock wave with her palm, and the man was knocked to the ground.

Yiyanna immediately stepped forward and raised the blade to point it at him. She looked at the countless images flashing around the shadow in front of her, and the voice encouraged her to start more and more eagerly.

Yiyanna looked at him. He still didn't fight back but lay on the ground and looked at her. The shadow looked at her and nodded affirmatively, seeming to be encouraging her.

Something was wrong. The long knife in Yiyanna's hand began to shake. She pressed her forehead to fight the voice in her head. He continued, encouraging her to giggle.

A sea of ​​fire and evil eyes flashed in front of Yiyanna's eyes. The shape of the Eye of Fear continued to expand and flicker in front of her eyes, seeming to swallow her soul into it. A huge outline appeared in the flames, which was an endlessly changing mass. The monster, a creature with countless faces and countless voices.

He encouraged Yiyana, promising glory and future. He was asking Yiyana to do something, to achieve something, and to get recognition from him and everyone in accordance with the future he promised.

Yiyanna opened her eyes suddenly, "Fuck you! I don't need the approval of you idiots!"

She cursed and stabbed with a sword, but it just happened to pass by the ear of the shadow on the ground. The blade hit the hardened ground and produced a large spark.

The voice exclaimed in surprise, and then another voice appeared in Iyangna's mind, a familiar voice.

"Good job, my little girl."

The shadow behind Iyangna was shattered by the golden lightning. He cursed and returned to the dark abyss. All the illusions and clouds suddenly disappeared. Iyangna's eyes saw the real world again, and she also saw Vito in front of her.

Iyangna quickly stepped back and looked at Vito who got up from the ground. He had several scars on his body, which was obviously caused by not using his full strength just now.

Vito walked up to Iyangna, who was lowering her head. He looked at the Eldar girl who suddenly lost her pride. He smiled and touched her head, "Wow, since you didn't yell for me to take my hand back?"

Iyangna didn't reply. She was very frustrated and ashamed. Vito knew it, but the latter still smiled without a trace of blame, "Raise your head."

She obeyed. Iyangna raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, and he still smiled, "Iyangna, you just scared the old bastard Tzeentch. I dare say this is the first time he has been intimidated by a girl."

"Well done, my girl." Vito said with a smile, but Iyangna was a little confused, "You... you are not angry?" "Why?"

"I disobeyed your orders, came here without permission, and was almost bewitched by Chaos, and"

"Almost killed me?" Vito said calmly, and Iyangna nodded slightly.

He smiled and squatted down, looking at Iyangna at the same level, "Iyangna, what I hope you understand and learn is to be yourself. You don't need to listen to me or anyone else's orders or requests, and don't care what they think of you."

"I hope you learn to be clear in conscience, be yourself, and do what you think is right. Thousands of years later, no matter what we do, it will be buried by history, so do what you want to do, don't care about any stupid opinions, especially those of gods."

"I have witnessed one of my best friends bewitched by evil gods, bewitched by glory, opinions and arrogance. He did a lot of stupid things, many, many things, but you, my girl, you make me proud."

Vito stroked Iyangna's face, and the latter looked at Vito and smiled.

Vito stood up and looked around at the miserable situation and the confused children. "Okay, I'll leave the aftermath to you. I still have something important to deal with."

"What's the big deal?" Iyangna looked at Vito who was walking away, and the latter raised his thumbs. "Discussing philosophy with the Governor's daughter!"

Iyangna was stunned for a moment as she looked at Vito walking away, then looked at the wreckage and the children on the ground, turned her head and cursed in Vito's direction, "Go to hell! You old bastard!"

——

The foam and light disappeared, and Iyangna raised her head from the pool. Her long hair was not wet at all. She rubbed her forehead and sat by the pool with a smile.

"Old bastard."

Iyangna stood up, took the cloak she wore when she was a child and returned to the closet. She put it back in the closet, then she opened the small disc, and Helen appeared on it.

She still looked the same as she did back then, with a short-haired intelligent AI doll standing on it. She looked at Helen expressionlessly, and sure enough, she was exactly the same as the Helen in her memory.

"Go pick him up, I'll send you the location later." "Understood."

Yiyangna walked out of the room. She would do what was right for herself.
