From Veronica's description, Soshyan immediately recognized the stranger's identity.
"Master Shi? Is he here to see you?"
"I don't know. He didn't say a word and his behavior was very strange. Is this Master Shi? The leader of the Tan Sect Electric Monk you mentioned?"
"His identity is not that simple, Huozhe. Get to know him and call him Venerable Ananda. Do you remember that I told you that he should be an eternal being."
"ah!?"
Veronica covered her mouth in surprise.
"Then is there any special reason why he came to me? But why didn't he say a word? And how did he appear here?"
"Speaking of which, isn't your mentor very familiar with the Eternal One? Then will he also know Master Shi?"
"This mentor has not mentioned it, but it is impossible to say that he may actually know him. The mentor was one of the leaders of the Esoteric Cult back then. The Esoteric Cult seemed to have had a large-scale operation in the Maelstrom. Do you remember what I told you?
Is it about the esoteric religion?"
Soshyan nodded. Regarding the secret cult of the mysterious alien organization during the Horus Heresy, Veronica and he had discussed it for several nights, and it even touched upon the concept of "artificial immortals." However, regarding
Eldra didn't tell Veronica much about this matter, and her understanding was very limited.
"Master Shi would not do this for no reason. I just don't know if he is willing to tell the reason. I feel that this unborn child will continue to have troubles in the future."
"Hmph, the more nervous and disruptive these people are, the more we will have children. Twenty of them! No! Twenty-one! If anyone wants to cause trouble, let the children beat him up!"
"Hahaha, you. Can't you say a more auspicious number?"
He then told Veronica about the mysterious power he encountered in the space hulk, and introduced in detail the strange facilities and structures on the two hulks, including the demon engine manufacturing factory and the chaos portal.
But Veronica said that she had no memory or knowledge about these, but the higher-ups of Jemlok Ark might know something, and she could just ask them when the time comes.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I've prepared dinner."
After that, she took Soshyan's hand and went to the restaurant on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, a row of unfamiliar maids filed in from the side door.
When Soshiyang saw them, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but it was not because the plates they were carrying were very big - Veronica usually didn't eat much with her appetite, but Soshiyang was different, so the maids
Each one holds a huge silver disc.
What shocked him was the identity of these maids, who had completely undisguised pointed ears and distinctive pointed chins, and Soshyan discovered that Doral's two daughters were among them.
Sister Nestela has a slender figure, calm demeanor, and light steps. She wears an indigo silk dress. Close to the dress is a long line of delicate spiritual bones. Her thick and smooth black hair is draped on her slightly rounded (Ai)
Behind the face (up to standard), and the purple almond eyes, you can clearly see Doral's bloodline, which makes her add a bit of Comoros' cold temperament to the traditional Ada appearance.
The appearance of most of the maids paled in front of Nestra, except for her sister Arohan.
Nestela looks more like their mother Lorena, while Arohan looks more like their father Doral, with paler skin and slightly shorter height than her sister, but with a plumper figure and even a toned figure.
She has the same purple eyes and straight nose, and her thin lips are often pressed into a thin, straight line, with a wild and unruly temperament, just like Soshiyan first saw in Comoros
They were the same back then, she was like a crazy motorcyclist.
She wore a dress made of indigo and crimson woven fabrics, and her red hair was combed into braids hanging down to her waist. The braids were scattered with strands of sparkling inspiration pendants.
Soon, the dishes were served, the maids all left, and there were only two people left in the restaurant. Veronica rarely sat across from Soshyan. No matter how big the table was, she always sat next to him.
, the same this time.
"they."
At this time, Veronica's maid Lorena, the Ivy Leaf Herald, walked in. You must know that this is the central heart of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. A large group of Aida came out at once, and there may even be more.
Soshyan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, so he looked at Veronica.
"This is--"
"Lorena Qing said that I am pregnant and I don't trust humans to take care of me. I thought about it. After all, this is my first pregnancy, so there is always something I don't understand."
At this time Lorena came over and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness."
Then she looked at Soshyan.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is pregnant now and needs someone to take care of her. Please forgive me for making my own decision."
When Soshyan heard this explanation, he was relieved and nodded with a smile.
"It should be so, but I didn't think carefully enough. Madam Lorena, you did the right thing. If you need anything else later, please just tell me, or inform Mr. Doral."
Lorena didn't say anything, she just leaned behind her slightly, turned around and was about to walk away, when Veronica suddenly stopped her and asked:
"Qing Lorena, do you know about the Soul Forge?"
When she said this, Lorena suddenly fell into thinking, then nodded and said:
"I know a little bit, but I don't know what your Majesty wants?"
Veronica then recounted what Soshyan told her about the two hulks. Lorena fell into deep thought after listening to it, and after a while she said slowly:
"The Arkworld has been at war with subspace enemies all year round. A long time ago, Lord Jaan Zar once led us to fight against a group of fallen apes. Humans have a large number of demon engines in their arsenal. After destroying them, we captured
They arrived at a prisoner and obtained key information during torture. They claimed to serve a being called the Creator, who is also the master of all soul furnaces. These huge foundries that exist in abstract forms do not belong to the subspace.
The four realms of the Evil God of Destruction are a kingdom composed of gears and pistons, where all evil contracts regarding machinery are made. Any demon can come to these furnaces to find the soul traders who reside here and sign a contract with them.
Some demons simply want a shortcut to increase their combat power and gain the favor of their master god, while others want a way to avoid being restrained and not have to endure the shame of exile for a long time. No matter what the demands of each entity,
No matter which evil god the demons come from, they must harvest the souls of mortals according to the agreed price and deliver them to the soul furnace. In exchange, they will be stuffed into machines and then transformed into war machines and demons.
Horror fusion, but the amount of those contracts is often extremely huge, and most demons have difficulty repaying it on time, so many demons will try to sign a contract to repay in installments, but this also means almost doubling the interest, under the so-called compound interest.
, a large number of demons eventually became slaves of their creditors.”
