After looking at it carefully for a while, Soshiyang roughly judged why a mixed-race person could serve the Astronomical Hall with such swagger. Generally speaking, his "human content" is indeed higher, and his appearance is relatively straight, which makes people with little knowledge see him.
I don't think of aliens at all. At most, I think the appearance is a bit weird, but there are so many weird "people" in the empire, so this is nothing.
However, he is quite tall, almost two meters tall. With the power armor, he really looks like a space warrior, but his stature is a bit thinner.
Yes, he was wearing a set of MK4 power armor, but Soshyan guessed that it had been internally modified and turned into a force feedback power armor, but this was enough to show that this man's physical fitness was extraordinary.
We know that most of the Astropaths are extremely weak, and long-term "imprisonment" will cause their bodies to deteriorate rapidly, but this one can even wear power armor. Obviously, he is physically closer to the Eldar, with strength and power beyond his appearance.
speed.
Looking at him, an idea suddenly came to Soshyan's mind.
Is this probably what he and Veronica's child will be like?
"identity?"
There was a hint of vigilance in Ilyan Nastase's voice. His origin was the top secret of the Astrology Hall.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, it's because you have served with the Dark Angels. You know, they are relatively... secretive."
Hearing Soshyan say this, Iliyan showed an expression of sudden realization, and then explained:
"I understand what you mean, huh... but actually I don't have much contact with them. I have hardly been out of the Astronomical Spire of the Giant Stone in two years, and I have seen no more than five warriors, mainly to Master Ezekiel.
Report the situation.”
"Well, it seems... Chapter Commander Calgar must appreciate you, right? He even gave you a set of armor as a gift."
Soshyan walked up to him, looked at the Ultramarines logo on his shoulder armor, and frowned slightly, but this Ω was slightly different, and there was a symbol of the Astrology Hall in the middle.
"I just did some minor work. It's thanks to Chapter Commander Calgar."
"Then why is he willing to let you leave?"
"This is an order from the Astronomical Hall. Captain Calgar has always abided by the rules and laws."
Speaking of this, he was actually a little depressed. He had done well in the Ultramarines and was recognized by everyone. However, the director of the Astronomical Department did not know which nerve he had misplaced, and actually threw him to a distant place with a transfer order.
It took more than a year just to travel to the Storm Star Territory. (Many so-called storytelling videos will describe him as a think tank, but he is a serious astropath)
But it stands to reason that it would be faster to transfer people directly from the Sun Star Territory. He really couldn't think of a reason for transferring himself. He could only explain it as the bloated bureaucracy had another fit.
He didn't know, but Soshiyang knew very well. After all, he had received the reply from Prime Minister Dirian very early. The imperial tinker used a bottle of top-quality Ada wine to get the director of the Astronomical Hall to sign a document that he
The order will soon be forgotten, and the bottle of wine is just soche
One of the many gifts Yang gave him, the most important ones were several exquisite Ada crafts that were difficult to find even in the top cold trade chains. The origins of these things were "smuggling seizures". He
I believe Dillion will use them on key people.
The more direon's power is consolidated, the clearer his eyes and ears in Terra will be, and the easier it will be to do things.
This may sound corrupt, but this is the rule of operation of the mortal bureaucracy. Since the Emperor has chosen this path, these are unavoidable, or it is unavoidable with the current social form of mankind, and for Soshyan
, it is much easier to use the rules than to fight against them, but it is only when he is still at this level.
But it doesn't sound good, and convenience is really convenient. He can do things that no other chapter leader, even the founding chapter leader, can do with the snap of his fingers.
"I just applied to the Astrology Department for an experienced Astrology Director, because not long ago our Astrology Director here was transferred to St. Casparon Parish, where there is a tug-of-war with Tyranids, and communication is very important.
, but it is easy to be interfered, so we can only deploy more forces, resulting in some vacated supervisor positions in the Nessen system."
Yili Yang nodded slightly and replied in a very official tone:
"Everything is as the Emperor wishes."
"I also hope that we can have a happy cooperation in the future. By the way, Consul Ilyan, are you from Terra?"
After Soshiyang turned around and returned to his seat, he said in a gentle tone, "just make things normal":
"Give Consul Ilyan a chair."
"Thank you, Chapter Commander."
Hearing the chair being placed behind him, Ili Yang sat down and then replied:
"I am not from Terra."
"Oh? Are you a Macragge? Judging from your extraordinary appearance, your parents must also be Astropaths, right?"
"no."
Seeing that Yiliyan always avoided the origin of his life, and his voice became more and more alert, Soshiyang stopped entangled, and then turned to ask:
"Looking at your information, you are 79 years old, but you still look very young."
"I had a life-extending surgery."
Ili Yang is already very experienced in this kind of cross-examination, so he basically answers fluently, leaving no room for loopholes. However, he is a little worried in his heart. The other party's questions sound casual, but in fact every one of them points to his greatest concern.
That secret.
An alien hybrid, Ilyan knew what this meant. When he went to serve with the Dark Angels, he had been subject to scrutiny and interrogation for a week. If Ezekiel hadn't come forward to clarify, he might have really gone to the mysterious "
"The Stone Prison", but in the end he only stayed for two years before being transferred from the Dark Angels. However, he got more understanding from the Ultramarines. Although Calgar also felt that his appearance was a bit strange, he never doubted him.
identity, or pretend not to know.
This is why his armor still bears the symbols and colors of the Ultramarines.
Soshyan knew that the other person was still wary, and he also needed time to observe this person, so he nodded.
"I see. You must have been very tired after a bumpy journey. Well, you don't have to rush to work right away. I'll have someone arrange a manor with a pleasant environment for you to rest for a week, and then go to preside over the work of the Star Spire.
"
Ilyan stood up and bowed to thank him.
"Thank you for your love, but I am worried that I will delay and miss important messages. Each message may represent a tragic battle taking place, representing a world that is under attack. From the moment I joined the Star Language Hall,
Being constantly taught, our souls are as light as feathers, but our responsibilities are as heavy as mountains. Any tiny omission or mistake may lead to the disastrous defeat of a war and tens of billions or hundreds of billions of empire citizens.
of lives lost.”
Hearing what he said, Soshyan couldn't help but nodded.
"With a responsible person like you presiding over the Star Spire, I feel relieved. Let's just take a day off, take a rest, and work in the best condition."
