The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"You understand?"

Khan's inquiry did not surprise Veronica, she replied calmly:

"Actually, the gap between us may not be as deep as you think."

Chagatai grinned suddenly, put down the hollow violin, then took out two bowls from the wooden cabinet, filled a golden pot with pure white liquid, and handed Veronica a glass.

After Veronica took it, she took a sip carefully and found that the taste was not bad, it was refreshing and delicious.

And after drinking it, she felt that her body, which was exhausted from the constant use of psionic energy and divine power, had recovered a lot.

"This tune, about a khan who lost his eldest son, and the sad khan ordered that anyone who spoke the news had lead down his throat, so a wise man turned the news into a tune, He saved his own life by telling the Khan the news of the loss of his son."

After Veronica heard it, she put down the bowl and said softly:

"You also played this piece for someone?"

Khan's face caused a silent wry smile, and he filled himself with a glass.

"Yeah, I also played that piece for someone who lost a son."

"Then he was sad then?"

Jaghatai put down his half-drinking glass, put his hands on his knees, and turned to look at Veronica.

"Rather than talking about these old things of adulthood, you might as well take this time to think about how you and he will face the problems that may be encountered in the future."

Veronica turned her head and glanced at Soshyan, then said softly:

"You're a... Primarch, what do you think about my relationship with him?"

"Ha, first of all, what's your relationship with him?"

Veronica was stunned for a moment and responded firmly:

"What if I said I was going to be his wife."

Chagatai shook his head.

"Aside from all the status and status of the two of you, the combination of an Eldar and a human being, even in the era we were walking in, was a serious crime—"

"Chagatai Khan, I'm asking what you think."

Chagatai laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

"Am I that cynical in your opinion, and it is well known that I hate the Eldar, there should be a lot of teleportation and rumors about me on your side."

"But I prefer to believe that you are a reasonable person who obeys your inner view of good and evil, regardless of race... After all, you are at least willing to sit down and talk to me with a calm mind."

Jaghatai fell silent as he pursed his lips and looked at the dim flames in the furnace.

After about a minute, he said solemnly:

"When I first returned to the Empire, I sneered at the Great Crusade, because I knew the truth of the Great Crusade and realized its destructive power, so the Prime Minister of the Empire, Malcador, arranged a good show for me, allowing me to see how the aliens are To ravage human colonies left over from the dark ages...and then he told me that my father's lie was a noble act, that it existed to guard, to warn, not to deceive, because the world was not ready. "

Veronica smiled flatly.

"Then in 10,000 years, will humanity be ready?"

Chaghatai just shrugged.

"I told him at that time that there were dynasties in my home world that had promised their slaves freedom, but that could only be activated when they were all ready...and that time, speaking of Strange, it never came, and in the end the slaves had to fight and die for it, and even then there were people who said it was too early."

"There is no eternal lie in the world, all truth will eventually be revealed, and once it is revealed, the boundless anger of the deceived will be unstoppable... The galaxy has risen and fallen for hundreds of millions of years, but there has never been a single civilization. Empires built on lies can last forever."

"So he always likes to remind me of the inherent flaws in human beings, can you imagine a man who can be so contemptuous of his own race? Probably not, because you have universal pride, even slaves have some kind of innate superiority I feel, sometimes I think about it, isn't this another advantage?"

Chagatai Khan said with a sigh.

"But I have to say that Malcador's strategy was very successful. I was almost convinced when I saw the horror of human beings being enslaved by those alien life, until I met that person....a young man ."

"mortal?"

"Yes, an interesting mortal, an interesting soul, with whom I had long conversations by the campfire, as with you now....he told me that in his homeland they lived and The Chogolis lives the same life, except that the herds of sheep and horses have become huge energy collectors, tents and ox carts have become various warships, and the community is composed of tribes with different civilizations, including humans, There are other beings too, just like the different tribes of Chogolis, there are differences but they can live under a single sky, before I met him I never imagined that humans in the stars could have such a form, but this is a complete departure. My father's conception of the future of mankind, they are unwilling to be subjects of the empire, and even less willing to point their guns at other lives who have lived together for generations... As a result, his hometown, his people, his The tribe, and his life ended up being destroyed by my two brothers.... I felt so guilty, sent him and his family to a peaceful world, and re-filed him from Tracking by imperial law enforcement agencies is a small compensation."

Veronica looked at the silent face of the primarch, and suddenly felt something in her heart, and asked subconsciously.

"that person......."

"I still remember his name to this day, it's Iri Alexei~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Alexey!?"

Chagatai turned to Soshyan, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

"Yes, it is the ancestor of Soshyan."

Veronica blinked, she really did not expect that Soshyan and Chagatai still have such a relationship.

Then the two fell silent for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Veronica said softly:

"Chagatai Khan, this place shouldn't be a physical space, right? It doesn't look like a planet."

"With your knowledge of the subspace, you should be able to tell."

Veronica nodded slightly.

"This should be the node at the end of a branch line of the network road. This space is independent of the sky, but it has the attributes of the sky. It's just why you have been living in seclusion here, and those horses..."

"The souls of Chogolis can't be kept in palaces or houses where they will gradually wither, so it's my duty to take care of them here."

The Spirit Race girl blinked, she didn't expect the nature of those war horses to be like this, but she immediately realized another problem.

"Is it your responsibility that the human empire is different?"

Chagatai lightly stroked his slender beard and replied meaningfully:

"Not everyone is suitable to be a ruler, I know my limit, because Chogolis is my limit, no matter what I do, it will not have any good influence on the current empire, my character is like this, Most people can't get used to it."

At this moment, Chagatai suddenly stood up.

"Okay, it's almost time, you should go."
