In the eyes of ten million people, the Emperor of Mankind may look like ten million people.

He may be a majestic giant with sallow skin and long, shiny black hair. He wears the most luxurious golden armor. The light on his face alone is enough to illuminate the deepest darkness.

He may be a short and wise scholar who wraps himself in a gray and white fully enclosed dust-free garment. Only his eyes, which are a mixture of dark blue and brown, exude memories and rationality from the great era.

He may be a king who shouts and fights fiercely. He has the appearance of a barbarian, but he uses the laurel wreath and the eagle flag to tell his invincibility. Standing there, he is more impressive than a million legions.

fear.

But in the eyes of the Lord of the First Legion, these are misguided fallacies, sad illusions caused by insufficient ability and vision. What these statements depict is far from the true appearance of the Emperor.

Only what he saw was the true appearance of the Emperor.

——————

Jonson was waiting. When his brothers returned to the Emperor's Dream due to the Emperor's order, under some unspoken tacit understanding, he followed the guidance of instinct and came to a dim place.

In the cave.

The ancient door may not have been truly opened for thousands of years. Zhuangson's intrusion awakened the automatic lights that were still functioning. Under the dimmest illumination, he could clearly see the paintings on the walls on both sides: those from

The paintings from the ancient glory days are in black and white, telling how the first colonists drove away the herds and miasma, wiped swamps and snow-capped mountains from the ground, and built glorious cities.

The air seemed to be quiet for a long time.

"She came to my legion as a mortal advisor to the fifteenth legion and a confidant of my brother Magnus."

The Emperor listened quietly.

"Yes, father."

[I hand over this war with Ran Dan to you, because you are the only one who can complete it. This war is destined to be unknown and will disappear in misunderstanding and forgetfulness. Its winner can only live in the desert.

Obtain rewards that belong only to you in the shadow, that is, trust and loyalty.】

"In general."

【......Magnus?】

This has been a long, very long, extremely long, difficult time.

"Are you worried that she will be misled by Magnus, father?"

【Jonson, my knight.】

[Which brother of yours sent her to your legion as a member who could replace his legion's heirs? ]

"Morgan."

——————

Jonson declined more invitations, thinking that he had expressed respect to Horus as tactfully as possible and asked to leave.

It was a cat-like creature, about the length of a mortal's forearm, with fluffy snow-white hair, and a pair of ocean-like blue pupils, with wisps of brown and black light scattered around them.

It extends all the way to its nose, forming a kind of decoration that complements the brown-black ears.

——————

【Remember it, remember it, implement it.】

【What kind of person is she in your eyes?】

Not everyone deserves to be analyzed and remembered.

Finally, Zhuang Sen seemed to hear another sigh, but he didn't seem to hear it.

Jonson was worried about the front line, and he was worried about handing over the power of war and command to anyone. Even Coswayne, his most trusted heir, had never truly proven his ability.

It was as lazy as its owner. It rubbed against the toes of Morgan's boots slowly, then simply shrank into a ball and gathered at her feet domineeringly.

[I decided to pay a return visit to Sisyphus to reflect on the relics and insights from our battle, and it is just a wonderful souvenir: a once wild strong-brained cat, which is beneficial to a psychic like me.

of.】

The emperor is here.

"She has an almost beastly instinct for exploring remote lands at the edge of her abilities and consciousness. She always wants to know more, but she will not blindly move forward in unknown areas."

Until Zhuang Sen asked with an inexplicable anxiety.

"Father."

The emperor thought for a while and then looked at Zhuang Sen.

"She carries out adventurous and exploratory activities within the scope of her abilities. Even if she is injured, it is only the smallest flesh wound. She has the most careful protection of her will and will not voluntarily get involved in dangerous situations.

, but also unwilling to give up adventure and exploration.”

The emperor turned his head and faced the darkest shadow, seeming to be thinking about something.

As for Fulgrim...

The leader of the First Legion has forgotten how he left the cave.

——————

Zhuang Sen raised his head, and his pupils shone with a light that was like a breeze blowing through the pool water, showing that he was more or less nervous in his heart.

【I don’t have extra time and energy.】

It wasn't until the leader of the First Legion felt a silent permission in the air that he raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke cautiously.

【You must be aware and prepared.】

After getting an accurate answer, Zhuang Sen whispered the name in a trembling tone.

"She won't lose her mind, but she won't stop either."

The Lord of the First Legion performed the most standard knightly etiquette. The Emperor waited quietly and politely until the etiquette was completed before speaking slowly again.

[Morgan, she still chose to accept this name, which is good. It erased a trivial worry for me. 】

Jonson did not reply. He waited for the emperor's permission.

【Being not.】

His master seemed to be thinking about something. The human master raised his head and looked at the crack where light was constantly pouring in. He reshaped his thoughts and deduced what he wanted from the short words.

【Tell me.】

Zhuang Sen raised his head and looked at his father: the Lord of Mankind stood at the junction of light and darkness, his dark golden robe shining in the light, but his face was completely hidden in the darkness, more

The dust haze continued to fall and rise under his feet, like a dirty snow wave.

Zhuang Sen's eyes stopped on Morgan's face, but he only saw an insincere smile.

Jonson's ship returned from Moro at a speed that no one had imagined. The Dark Angels who gathered on the Indomitable Truth to greet them were even in a hurry, but fortunately their genetic father did not care about this either.

As soon as he landed, he grabbed Coswayne and asked about the situation on the front line during his absence.

As a result, the fleet of the First Legion became the first imperial team to leave the Moro Galaxy.

——————

The emperor's tone was like discussing a book that had been lost for a long time. He was a little relieved, but that was all. The Lord of Mankind's eyes were still closed, and only the smile on the corner of his mouth was faintly visible on the edge of the hood.

The tiniest dust slowly fell in the ragged rays of the sun, dancing in irregular dance steps in mid-air. They drifted and landed on Zhuang Sen's head and at the emperor's feet.

The emperor closed his eyes, as if sighing silently.

The Lion of Caliban thought for a moment.

【...In detail.】

The Lion of Caliban even felt an absurd emotion.

"When you formed us, did you create one...or more...female individuals?"

In the subsequent paintings, there were also movements of conflict, conspiracy and war, but Zhuangson was not in the mood to watch it. He walked through here quickly, opened a door, and finally stopped under a bright light.

.

He still remembered the flickering color in Horus' pupils, which seemed to be an emotion called [embarrassment]. He somewhat understood Horus's situation, but he really had no more reason to stay there and do nothing.

"I would like to know……"

——————

There was another brother, Chagatai Khan from Chogoris. Zhuangson didn't communicate much with him, but from those brief words and clear pupils, he saw a sincere person worthy of respect.

This is extremely rare among his brothers.

【One day, she will leave us.】

After repeatedly confirming that Ran Dan did not take the opportunity to launch any offensive that could reverse the situation, Zhuang Sen put down the biggest stone in his heart. Then, he turned his head and saw his disguised blood relative walking in an embarrassing way.

He walked towards her at a slow pace.

This is a naturally formed patio. The light from the sky pours in from the crack, opening up a dazzling kingdom in the endless darkness.

【As a mortal.】

He won't be angry about it.
