After passing through the light gate, the war horse galloped for a long time on the starlight road in a webway-like environment. Veronica originally thought she would come to a ship, but after entering the second light gate, she was surprised to find that
We arrived at a vast grassland!!
The boundaries between heaven and earth in this world are not so obvious. As far as the eye can see, it is endless and green, and everywhere is green, as green as if it was dyed with green dye.
In the distance, small hills rise and fall one after another, like small waves.
At this time, a breeze blew, and the green grass on the hill formed two colors, just like a wind wave caressing the green grass. If you look carefully, there are some colorful wild flowers dotted in this green ocean.
, making the grassland less monotonous and boring.
Looking towards the horizon, I could vaguely see the snow-white mountains, but they were blurry and more like a mirage.
Free white clouds float in the blue sky, and a dazzling sun hangs above it, like a still picture. It seems that you can reach out to catch the white clouds, stand on tiptoes to embrace the blue sky, and sit on the white clouds to touch the sun...
But for some reason, the sun gave Veronica a weird feeling. It didn't seem to be a sphere, but a burning ring of fire, and the light it brought didn't seem that warm...
But being in such a landscape, she still felt much more relaxed.
Jaghatai Khan rode in front without saying a word, and Veronica could only follow silently.
At least here, there are no harsh sounds of the battlefield, no disgusting smells, just the fragrance of flowers and birds, and endless silence. Everything that happened in Comoros seems to be just a dream.
But Soshiyang, who was unconscious and with a face as golden as paper, reminded her clearly that everything was not a dream.
But all she could do now was to gently wipe away the sweat from his forehead and the blood seeping from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Suddenly, a strange sound attracted her attention.
It was a long low moan with a unique vibrato, and then gradually increased in intensity. It was not until a while that Veronica realized that the sound was coming from under the helmet of the Jaghatai Khan.
This sound echoed on the grassland, complementing the desolate and majestic scenery. Even Veronica, who despised human music, had to admit that this was appropriate.
Suddenly, a high-pitched cry was inserted into the long humai.
Then Veronica turned her head and saw a tall, fiery red horse galloping on the vast grassland, with its hooves tumbling and its long mane flying. Its magnificent posture was like a battleship that had gone through hardships across the ocean, like a ship flying vigorously in a storm.
Haiyan.
After arriving on a small hill, the horse raised its front hooves and roared to the sky, and the heartfelt neigh resounded throughout the sky.
In response to this tragic neighing, a motley herd of horses emerged from all directions, rolling over the vast grassland like an unstoppable tide, gathering together, and roaring around Veronica.
This shocking scene made Veronica blink in shock. It was the first time for her, who grew up in the Arkworld, to walk side by side with so many primitive creatures.
But soon, she adapted to such a scene, and her attention returned to Soshyan.
puff--
Suddenly, Suoshiyang, who was clenching his teeth, spat out a mouthful of pus and blood, which immediately frightened Veronica to the point where her face turned pale and she lost her voice:
"Soshyan! What's wrong with you?"
After instilling some power but still having no effect, Veronica said loudly to Khan in front:
"Chagatai Khan, haven't you arrived yet? Soshyan, he——"
"rest assured."
Khan turned around and interrupted her.
"He'll be there soon, he'll be fine."
Soon, they arrived at a river, and a white tent appeared in front of Veronica.
This river is not wide, only seven or eight meters, and flows quietly on the grassland. The water is very clear, so clear that you can see the sediment and dead branches and leaves on the bottom of the river.
When he came to the tent, the Khan got off his horse, then came to the black horse, put Soshyan on his shoulders, turned around and walked towards the tent. The horses regained their composure and gathered in a big pile not far from the tent quietly.
Eat grass.
As soon as Veronica entered the huge circular tent, she saw a stove about one meter high placed in the center of the tent. A wooden cabinet stood on the east side of the stove, and there was a carpet on the west side. On the carpet were carvings of short legs.
There is a wooden table and a skylight on the top of the tent above the stove.
Horse whips, bows and arrows, lasso and other tools were hung on both sides of the tent entrance. A red painted wooden cabinet was also placed on the west side. An incense burner was placed in the north corner of the wooden cabinet, emitting a faint green smoke.
Chagatai Khan placed Soshyan on the carpet, then hung up the knife on his waist, picked up a horn pot hanging on the carpet, lifted Soshyan's upper body, and tried to open his mouth.
, pouring some amber liquid from the pot into his mouth.
Fortunately, Soshyan still had the most basic consciousness and drank the liquid. Then Khan took out several small bone objects with weird shapes from the wooden cabinet, placed them on Soshyan's body, and removed the incense burner from the cupboard.
He grabbed a handful of ashes and smeared it on the wound where he was stabbed by the dagger.
Soon, under Veronica's worried gaze, the bone objects began to beat on their own, and at the same time, the ash-smeared wounds began to ooze out a foul-smelling green liquid. Khan immediately used a brass brazier to
Then those liquids.
About ten minutes later, Soshyan's complexion finally improved. Although it was still pale, at least it was not the scary dark golden color before.
After Chagatai covered the brazier with a piece of yellow cloth, he breathed a sigh of relief, then took off his helmet and hung it on the wall.
Veronica didn't know if she was the only Eldar alive to see the true face of the original body, but at least he was not as scary as she had imagined before. It was a face full of pride and loneliness, with skin like tough leather.
His cheeks are thin, his eyebrows are high, and his nose is slightly raised, which makes his eyes look particularly sharp, worthy of the title of War Eagle. The three slender beards on his nose and chin make him more different from other space warriors.
He has a lot of wisdom, and his black hair is tied on top of his head with a simple metal ring, giving him a savage atmosphere yet being capable.
"He's fine for now."
After saying this, Chagatai Khan took down a strange hollow musical instrument, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to play a rapid and sad song.
Veronica came to Soshyan's side, sat down diagonally and stretched out her hand to press on the other person's neck, trying her own strength, but still had no effect, so she was a little doubtful of Chagatai's words.
But she wasn't stupid enough to question a primarch directly, so she could only wait quietly.
Gradually, she discovered that the music was a little weird, as if a person was riding a handsome horse in a hurry, passing through countless soldiers, and came to a dark palace, telling a sad story to a majestic being.
With a bang, the music stopped. Veronica looked over and found that the string was broken, so she said:
"What...is this song called?"
"It's called the Lame Horse."
Khan said as he tried to wind the string again.
"It sounds very sad."
Veronica's words made Chagatai stop what he was doing and raised his head with a smile on his face.
"So, it seems you can still understand our music?"
