Since the owner has said so, the sages have no choice but to make their own bids.
Afterwards, Soshyan took back all the data boards and asked the sages to go back and wait for 18 hours. After 18 hours, he would send a letter to the desired buyer to determine the final purchase plan.
But just 3 hours later, a sage from Huangquan No. 8 secretly arrived at the monastery of the Astral Knights Chapter.
"Hello, Captain Soshyan, I hope I won't disturb you at this time."
"Of course I won't disturb you, Sage Epsilon. I'm very pleased that you are willing to be invited."
In the spacious secondary reception hall in the main spire of the monastery fortress, a tall Mechanicus sage wearing a black inner and red outer robe is standing in front of Soshyan. This unique robe represents The meaning can only be understood by the sage of No. 8 Huangquan - this symbolizes that this sage is a member of the Secret Council of the Foreign Affairs Sect.
As an internal faction of the Mechanicum that studies and even applies alien technology, the priests and sages of the Alien Sect are mostly lone wolves and rarely form an organization. However, in Huangquan No. 8, alien research is almost a It is a semi-open secret that priest No. 8 of Huangquan seems to be conducting secret alien research throughout the galaxy. Therefore, an organized alien sect has naturally formed within the Forge World. As for whether this is considered a technological heresy, at least for now the Inquisition and Mars are still in the "investigation" stage, and this investigation has lasted for nearly five thousand years.
And all this is thanks to Terra. Since the military products of the Underworld 8 are vital to the Astra Militarum, the High Lords Council ruled that the Forge World of the Underworld 8 was extremely dangerous when the reputation of the Heretic of the Underworld 8 could no longer be suppressed. It is important and cannot be interfered with.
The high lords may be motivated by realistic political and military considerations, but the Alien Tribunal does not think so. In the middle of M36, under the auspices of the three great inquisitors of the Alien Tribunal, dozens of Death Watch killing teams were organized to "investigate The Forge World of Hell 8 was forced to take drastic measures to deal with the Deathwatch Kill Team.
At the same time, in order to erase what they had done, the alien faction in the Forge World of Underworld No. 8 adopted a series of secret attack methods, including destroying or modifying the files of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior regarding the research of alien technology in the Forge World of Underworld No. 8, and even He hacked into the data system of the Inquisition and tampered with the archive information about the Forging World of Underworld No. 8, and used various means to ensure that all the information about the Terran Tribunal and the Inquisition were obfuscated.
This also further angered the Alien Ordo, and a brutal secret war broke out between the Death Watch and the radical Tech-Priests. The final outcome of this war is unknown. What everyone can see is that the then Huang Quan The Director of Foundry No. 8 announced that he would live in seclusion and focus on "personal research", and the three Grand Inquisitors ended up with one dead, one wounded and one missing. The Death Watch also announced that it would never guarantee the "safety" of any priest in No. 8 Underworld, and here. Afterwards, the Alien Sect also became cautious and formed a secret council. Those sages who studied alien technology gathered together secretly and implemented safer and more secretive rules of action. They even formed an action team dedicated to seizing and searching for alien creations. To achieve their mysterious goals and prevent unorganized activities from causing huge trouble again.
After the auction ended, Soshiyang sent an invitation to Huang Quan No. 8, and the other party knew very well and sent a sage from the Foreign Affairs Sect.
After all, if Soshyan wanted to talk to them alone about something, it would definitely be related to alien technology.
"Underworld No. 8 has given us a lot of help in the process of rebuilding the Chapter. I have always believed that if the empire wants to find a forging world that can most efficiently study those alien enemies, then it must be Underworld No. 8.
I invited you here because I hope to talk about some... topics that other sages may not understand."
After hearing what Soshyan said, the sage nodded.
"Your attention makes us proud."
"About the Necron, we actually got some more important information. This is a race from ancient times, about 60 million years ago. Due to some unknown accident, they chose to sleep in tombs made of black stone.
, this race was once very prosperous, so their number was also extremely large, mostly concentrated in the edge areas of the Ultimate Star Territory and the Storm Star Territory. Now they seem to be awakening on a large scale, which is why I always emphasize that they will be
The cause of a huge threat.”
Those sages stood there, seemingly lost in thought or analyzing. After a moment, they said in a slightly magnetic mechanical voice:
"It seems that you are really concerned about this alien race. Huangquan No. 8 has also sent many investigation teams to the eastern border of the Extreme Star Territory, the areas where the Necrons are most active, to conduct research. However, the losses have been huge. Currently, there are no traces of the Necrons.
There is still no definite concept of the scale of awakenings. What scale do you think they are now?"
Soshyan raised his hand to summon a servo skull with a flexible screen in its mouth. Then a slightly flickering star map appeared on the screen, and Soshyan marked several positions on it with his hand.
"The clans of the Necron race, or countries generally call themselves dynasties. As far as I know, there are Necron dynasties entrenched in these areas. Especially here, on the eastern edge of the Extreme Star Territory, there is an extremely powerful
The Necron dynasty is called the Zotech."
"Ah, here, I know. I once went to the area on the edge of this place to conduct... archeology. It was indeed a very dangerous place. I lost half of the Skitarii."
But then the sage changed his subject.
"But these areas are too far away from the Forge World, and it will be difficult for Huangquan No. 8 to stop the expansion of these aliens. However, we will continue to pay attention to the alien activities in these areas."
Soshyan nodded.
"I reserved an extra gift for Huang Quan No. 8."
Soon, the star map on the screen disappeared, and then images of some battleship wreckage and equipment, as well as some well-preserved Necrontyr equipment appeared.
"The enemy's individual Gauss weapons have absolute destructive power against power armor, but our explosive bombs may not be able to kill the enemy with one hit. Although this is somewhat incorrect, there is no doubt that our technology lags far behind
They, Huang Quan No. 8, have a profound scientific research foundation, and I hope you can... let humans have weapons that are equal to the enemy, instead of always using the lives of soldiers to offset the enemy's technological advantages."
"Captain Soshiyan really has an extraordinary vision and development thinking. If half of the high lords were as enlightened as you, mankind would have conquered the galaxy with the most powerful weapons, instead of being so defensive now.
Standing in a dilapidated house with air leakage from all sides, shivering in the cold wind."
