Compared with the many miraculous creations and moons of Jupiter, the Saros space station that the Astral Knights fleet is heading to is also a miracle. This space station is in the shape of a spindle and looks like a gorgeous crystal chandelier when bathed in the crimson light emitted by the planet.
.
Unlike most industrial areas and colonies on this giant gas planet, this space station is not used for any industry or industry. It is a purely service facility where Jupiter's elite can take a break from working in shipyards and forges.
For rest, it is said that only the Venus orbiting space station can surpass the Saros space station in terms of luxury. It is said that there is the best opera house here besides the Imperial Palace.
When the fleet docked at the berth, all the high-ranking people in this world had been waiting for a long time. Even if they were all noble nobles of the solar system, they had to show respect to an Astartes Chapter Master, let alone an Astartes Chapter Master.
A hero who had just led a great expedition, many people wanted to see him. Hive nobles, factory owners, mining associations, senior officers, naval generals, Rogue Traders, Adeptus Mechanicus and other powerful personnel all occupied their own areas.
Waiting in the huge and extravagant VIP reception area of the airport, and bowed when Soshyan, who was guarded by a group of Terminators, came into view.
Soshyan himself behaved quite kindly, and then Felix Schwarzenberg, the governor of Jupiter, also known as Felix XXIII, expressed fervent praise and blessings to Soshyan.
Although the governors of all planets or planet-like planets in the solar system are lifelong, they are not hereditary. Each new governor must be appointed by the high lord to choose an official or noble from Terra. Even so, the governor of Jupiter can be like this
The prominent position is enough to prove that Felix XXIII has an extraordinary family background.
According to Feisal, Schwarzenberg is an ancient Terran nobleman who is not inferior to their family. The family has been loyal to the Emperor since the Emperor conquered the Europa region, and his family members are also present in various institutions and institutions in the Great Crusade.
department, and military strength. Although there are also "stains" such as family members entering the Third Legion, it does not affect the family's becoming one of the most prominent nobles in Terra. It is said that there are twelve family members in the record alone.
Became a member of the Forbidden Army.
They are the top wealthy family in the empire in the true sense.
So although Felix Schwarzenberg was very enthusiastic when facing Sosyan, he was not humble at all.
"The presence of Chapter Commander Alexei here not only inspires the people of Jupiter, but also makes this place glow. However, the preparations were too hasty and can only be briefly decorated. I hope you don't feel too shabby."
Felix XXIII has a bear-like physique, unnaturally dazzling blond hair, and obvious sky blue eyes. Soshyan can tell at a glance that this physique, hair and eyes have obvious traces of genetic modification.
, many nobles will constantly modify and adjust their genes in order to show the dignity of their family bloodline, but this does not affect the temperament of this great nobleman. He has obvious and strong patriarchal majesty. When he made a speech,
The wings of the hooked nose will spread excitedly.
He is dressed with extremely high taste and quality, and is not covered in all kinds of trinkets like those nouveau riche nobles. He does not need such things to prove his strength and power.
On the contrary, his dress is somewhat unique. The metal brocade on his robe is a neatly arranged silver skull. A golden chain hangs from his belt, and at the end there are bone fragments made of ivory hanging like trophies. It is said that this governor never directly uses
With an accent, whatever he needs to do will be written on those precious jade bone fragments made of Terra's extinct giant animals, and handed over to his attendants and subordinates.
As for the "shabby" he mentioned, Soshyan believed that normal people would never use it to describe this magnificent castle. The hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was paved with thick carpets that even Space Marines would be unable to step on.
It won't make any noise.
The walls and structure of the hall are all golden, with exquisite statues everywhere, and even carefully tended huge trees and flower beds. They all surround a fountain that constantly spurts out gurgling streams, and the dome is an oversized crystal monolith.
It is carved and carved like a blooming flower.
"It's a great honor to accept your invitation. Jupiter is the jewel in the crown of the empire. I feel lucky to be here."
After a while of greetings, Felix XXIII introduced his wife to Soshyan.
If you just look at her face, she is a very beautiful and noble lady. She is around thirty years old. Her skin is as pale as snow and you can almost see the capillaries underneath. Her eyes are as clear as black diamonds, exquisite and tall.
Her straight nose and bright red mouth make her look like someone in a painting——
But starting from her neck, she was wrapped in thick gowns and countless gems and decorations, and her hair was curled into a huge honeycomb surrounded by countless gems and diamond "bees". Her pearls
The colorful tutu was very, very big, so big that even a Space Marine might be able to fit it into it. With the gorgeous jewelry, the whole person looked like a huge parade float. Soshiyang thought about this outfit and outfit in his mind.
Probably heavier than the lady herself.
Therefore, she was so slender that she could not move by herself at all, and needed the assistance of machines and maids - six young maids surrounded her, either holding the tail of her skirt or holding her arms.
But even so, when she bowed her head and saluted Soshyan, she was still as precise as a machine.
However, when he got to know important people, Soshyan saw someone who surprised him very much - Silu Clement!
The other party was still wearing the iconic blue dress, but he didn't explain anything to Soshyan. He just smiled and turned up the hem of his skirt in a salute.
After that, Soshyan accepted the banquet invitation from Felix XXIII. He had rejected all previous banquet invitations from those worlds, but considering this influence and Soshyan's own purpose, this banquet
It’s hard to refuse.
Although he is in the center of the empire, it is still extremely rare for Space Marines to come to Jupiter, let alone a chapter leader. Therefore, at the banquet, Soshyan was asked many questions about war and victory.
, and regarding heresy, some of them asked sideways whether Huron had run away, but Soshyan did not answer directly. After all, this was the "core secret" of the expedition.
In addition, I have to say that they are indeed the aristocrats of the solar system. Those aristocratic girls wearing low-cut evening dresses actually have no fear of Soshyan. While covering their faces with fans, they asked Soshyan why he looked bigger than other space warriors.
A lot of these kind of embarrassing questions.
Fortunately, they will soon be driven away by their parents.
