"Do you understand?"
Khan's inquiry did not surprise Veronica, she replied calmly:
"In fact, the gap between us may not be as deep as you think."
Chagatai suddenly grinned, then put down the hollow piano, then took out two bowls from the wooden cabinet, filled the white liquid with a golden pot, and handed Veronica a cup.
After Veronica took it, she took a sip carefully and found that the taste was pretty good, like wine but not wine, and it was clear and delicious.
And after drinking it, she felt that her tired body recovered a lot due to the continuous use of spiritual energy and divine power.
"This song is about a Khan losing his eldest son. The sad Khan ordered anyone who said the news to pour lead into his throat. So a smart man turned the news into a song, telling the Khan the bad news that he lost his son and saved his life."
After hearing this, Veronica put down the bowl and said softly:
“You played this song for someone, too?”
Khan's face touched a silent and bitter smile, and he filled himself with another cup.
"Yes, I've played this song for someone who lost his son."
"So was He sad at that time?"
Chagatai put down the cup that had been half drunk, supported his knees with both hands, and turned his head to look at Veronica.
"Instead of these old things, you might as well take this time to think carefully about how you and him will face the problems they may encounter in the future."
Veronica turned her head and glanced at Soshiyan, and then said softly:
"You are... Primros, how 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.
"Putting aside all the status of the two of you, a spiritual race and a human being combined is a serious crime even in the era when we are walking—"
"Chhagatai Khan, I'm asking you what you think."
Chagatai laughed and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Do I just seem so cynical to you? And I hate the Spirit Clan as we all know. There should be a lot of legends and rumors about me on your side."
"But I prefer to believe that you are a reasonable person who obeys good and evil in his heart, regardless of his race... After all, you are at least willing to sit down and talk to me calmly."
With his lips pursed, Chagatai fell silent.
About a minute later, he said in a deep voice:
"When I first returned to the Empire, I scoffed 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, Makado, arranged a good show for me to see how the aliens ravaged the human colonies left over from the Dark Ages... Then he told me that my father's lies were noble, and it existed for protection, for warning, and not for deception, because the world was not ready yet."
Veronica smiled plainly.
"So ten thousand years later, are humans ready?"
Chagatai just shrugged.
"At that time I told him that there were dynasties in my home world that promised freedom to their slaves, but that could only be activated when they were all ready... And that moment, strangely, never came, and in the end the slaves themselves had to fight and die for it, even then, some people said it was too early."
"There is no eternal lies in the world, and all the truth will eventually be revealed. Once it is leaked, the boundless anger of the deceived person will be unstoppable... The Milky Way has risen and fallen for billions of years, but no empire can be established on lies and can be stable for a long time."
"So he always likes to remind me of the inherent flaws of humanity. Can you imagine a person who can despise his race so much? It shouldn't be because you have universal pride, and even slaves have a certain sense of innate superiority. Sometimes I think about it, isn't this another advantage?"
Chagatai Khan said and sighed.
"But I have to say that Makado's strategy was very successful. When I witnessed the tragic situation of human beings being enslaved by those alien lives, I was almost convinced until I met that person...a young man."
"mortal?"
"Yes, an interesting mortal, an interesting soul, I had a long talk with him by the bonfire, just like you now... He told me that in his hometown, they lived the same life as the Chogolis people, but the sheep and horses turned into huge energy collectors, the tents and ox carts turned into various warships, the community consisted of tribes of civilization, humans and other lives, just like the different tribes of Chogolis, there were differences but could live under a sky, I never imagined the star before I met him
Humans in the air can still have this form, but this completely deviates from my father's idea of ​​the future of mankind. They are unwilling to be subjects of the empire, and they are even more unwilling to point the gun at other lives that have lived together for generations... As a result, naturally, his hometown, his tribe, his life was eventually destroyed by my two brothers... I felt guilty, so I sent him and his family a ship, and re-compiled the files and identity to save him from the tracking of the imperial law enforcement agencies, which was a small compensation."
Veronica looked at the silent face of the Primarch, suddenly felt something in her heart and asked subconsciously.
"That person..."
"I still remember his name until now, and it is Iri Alexey."
"Alexei!?"
Chagatai turned to Soshiyang, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Yes, it's Soshiyan's ancestor."
Veronica blinked. She did not expect that Soshiyang and Chagatai still had this relationship.
Then the two fell silent for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, Veronica said softly:
"Chhagatai Khan, this place should not be physical space, right? It doesn't look like a certain planet."
"You should be able to see it based on your understanding of subspace."
Veronica nodded slightly.
"This should be the node at the end of a branch line of the network channel. This space is independent of the Supreme Heaven, but it also has the attributes of the Supreme Heaven. It's just that why you have been living in seclusion here, and those horses..."
"The souls of Chogolis cannot be locked in palaces or houses, so they will gradually wither, so it is my responsibility to take care of them here."
The girl of the Spirit Blinked. She didn't expect that the essence of those war horses was like this, but she immediately realized another problem.
"Is it your responsibility to different human empires?"
Chagatai gently stroked the slender beard on his chin and replied meaningfully:
"Not everyone is suitable to be a ruler. I know my limits, because Chogolis is mine. No matter what I do, I will not have any good influence on the current empire. This is my personality, and most people cannot get used to it."
At this time, Chagatai suddenly stood up.
