This was the first time Soshyan saw the Imperial Guards wearing black armor. He had never heard of the existence of such Imperial Guards before.
The aircraft they were riding in was also completely dark. Since the request had been made in advance, Soshyan was the only one to face them. At the same time, all personnel on the road to his designated warehouse were also cleared.
After confirming that the person coming was Soshyan, two Forbidden Soldiers dressed in black with gold edges walked out of the aircraft's open cabin one after another. Their footsteps were silent, like two moving shadows. The two of them were here.
During the process, they always maintained a posture of holding their weapons tightly, and the halberds they held were also dim.
Sandwiched between them was a huge black metal cargo box, a little taller than Soshyan. Its four corners were carried by four weird three-legged machines, and the hum of an anti-gravity field could be heard.
There are chains wrapped around the outer shell of the cargo box, and there are also characters engraved on it that Soshyan does not recognize. There is a magnetic blocker installed in the middle of the top, bottom, left, right, front and rear sides, and those four weird three-legged robots, Soshyan
Jan felt some familiar fluctuations - they were all equipped with anti-psionic devices.
"plz follow me."
The other party didn't speak, so Soshyan took the initiative to lead the way.
Trajan repeatedly emphasized that things must be put down in a safe place. Soshiyang simply chose his personal armament room, where Fentian was hidden. He didn't believe that something could upset Fentian?
Since the road had been cleared, there was no one along the way, except for the sound of slight footsteps. During this process, Soshiyang felt that the other party's eyes were not on him. The two mysterious black-armored forbidden soldiers were always looking at the cargo box, as if it was inside.
There is something terrible that can destroy the world, and they must keep a close eye on it.
The two forbidden soldiers didn't speak, and Soshyan didn't know what to say, so they walked to the armaments room in weird silence.
It wasn't until the door to the armament room was closed that a forbidden soldier finally spoke.
"Chapter Commander Soshyan Alexey, although I have no right to know why it was sent to you, as its caretaker, I have an obligation to inform you of its dangers."
"Danger?"
Soshyan looked at the huge cargo box.
"Could it be that Marshal Trajan sent a demon here?"
"Far more dangerous than a demon, this is an S-class object in the dark dungeon. From the day I joined the Shadow Guard, I have been monitoring it every second."
Dark dungeon, Soshyan noticed this term. He speculated that this was probably a secret dungeon or warehouse in the palace, used to store certain dangerous things, and the guards of this warehouse were these forbidden soldiers wearing black armor.
They call themselves the Shadow Guard.
"What's it called?"
"The Holy Grail of Dark Flame."
"The Dark Flame Holy Grail? It sounds like an artifact... Why is it so dangerous?"
"I don't know. I've been told since the day I monitored it that it is extremely dangerous and will cause a terrible disaster once it leaves the dungeon, but now it still leaves the dungeon."
Soshyan really wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Seeing that Soshyan didn't seem very nervous, the imperial guard looked a little anxious and immediately said:
"You have to be more vigilant, or just don't open it."
"If that's the case, Marshal Trajan shouldn't have sent it over. Since he sent this over, it means...either it's not actually that dangerous, or I can handle it."
With that said, Soshyan walked towards the container.
"Please be careful with it."
The imperial guard instinctively stretched out his hand as if to push Soshyan away, but he immediately realized that his behavior was too inappropriate, so he retracted his hand, but still stared at the container.
But Soshyan seemed to have discovered something interesting. He looked at the forbidden soldier and asked:
"Brother the Forbidden Army, what is your name?"
The other party was silent and did not answer immediately.
Just when Soshyan thought he had hit a wall, the other party suddenly whispered:
"Just call me Porphyrius."
"Ah, Porphyrius, since you are so worried, how about you stay a little longer and see me open it myself? Maybe you can feel more at ease."
Porphyrius said nothing and continued to stare at the container, but Soshyan assumed the other party's acquiescence, so he walked aside and found the observation hole Trajan mentioned.
He opened the observation hole a finger wide and looked inside through the thick glass. The inside of the container was filled with light gray liquid, and a cup-shaped object could be vaguely seen suspended in it.
"Ask me a lot, what is the liquid in this?"
"Filtered and purified spinal fluid of inaccessible persons."
Soshiyang's eyes twitched after hearing this. How much spinal fluid does a person have? This is a big box full, how many untouchables have been extracted...
The key point is that this thing still has a shelf life, and it must be replaced even if it is stored at low temperature. In other words, in order to seal the thing inside, it is necessary to continuously consume untouchables, just like the throne needs to burn psykers every day.
In a sense, this palace is really a bottomless pit that cannibalize people.
"How do I open it?"
The two imperial guards looked at each other, then walked to both sides of the box, each stretched out a finger and inserted it into a slot. After a few seconds, Porphyrius turned to Soshyan and said:
"Do you really want to open it now?"
"Yes, don't worry."
"Please come here."
Following the other party's instructions, Soshyan walked to the operating table where the container was unfolded.
"Aim your eyes here, Marshal Trajan has collected your pupil information."
Soshyan aimed his eyes at the instrument and soon heard a low mechanical sound.
"Operating instructions, contact, wait."
"Open."
"Executing..."
With a popping sound, a hole opened slightly on the top of the container, and icy cold air escaped from inside. Soshiyang also activated the gray marrow.
At the same time, the two Imperial Guards also clenched their weapons with both hands, maintaining a fighting posture and staring intently at the container.
With a burst of mechanical friction, four metal tentacles coiled out from the opened hole, and "arched" out the thing dripping with viscous spinal fluid.
It looked about the size of Soshyan's palm, and its outline resembled a ceremonial cup used by the state religion, with layers of scroll strips wrapped around it.
Soshyan stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and then the thing was gently placed on his hand.
There were no surprises, it was so calm that the two forbidden soldiers seemed a little confused, but Soshyan's next move made them scream in surprise.
"etc--"
Soshiyang, who was about to tear off the scroll strips, heard the shouts of the two men and turned his head.
"What's wrong?"
"what are you up to?"
"Let's see what it looks like specifically. I feel like this thing may not be as dangerous as you say..."
"No! It's dangerous! I'm sure of it!"
Porphilius's voice sounded a little angry, as if some of his firm beliefs had been denied by Soshyan.
"Then I have to take a look."
At this time, another imperial soldier held Porphylius's shoulders, and then shook his head, the meaning was obvious——
