Faced with Soshyan's pressing advances, Talos remained silent.
Now he just wants to find out the answer to a simple question: Which side does Sevatar stand on? The Corpse King on the Golden Throne? Or some other force?
And what is the position of the guy named Soshyan in front of him?
Although the question is simple, the answer is not simple.
Years of struggling in the Eye of Terror gave Talos the instinct to distinguish the corrosive effects of subspace, but when facing Soshyan, he could not feel the changes in subspace energy at all, not even the smell of the soul.
, this is another incredible thing.
He was not a psyker, but at this moment he felt that he was somehow sensing something beyond mortal senses.
But no matter what, he hasn't had a headache since he was caught.
"Talos, I hope you can understand one thing, you are dead."
Soshyan's eyes stared at him tightly, unblinking.
Then Talos nodded and stared at the corner at the edge of the cell. He could feel that every word Soshyan said was full of secrets and choices that had been made in the shadows for a long time.
He could feel this fact in the dark cell.
"Can I ask a few questions?"
Soshyan smiled as if facing an imperceptible joke.
He came closer and took off his hood.
Under the shadow, his face was very determined, without the dullness and dullness that characterized most Space Marines - at least in part.
Judging from his appearance alone, Talos probably guessed that this person had a straightforward personality, an aura that was accompanied by wisdom and confidence, and that he cared very much about brotherhood.
In other words, this is the face of a person that people are willing to trust and follow until the last moment.
If I have to make a comparison, his temperament is very close to the Black-Hearted King Huron or the Despoiler Abaddon whom Talos has met.
Yes, although Soshyan hid it very well, or he didn't realize it himself, he actually had a certain heroic temperament.
Although this person is still an unknown person now, as long as time allows, he is bound to become a force that shakes the galaxy.
He was the fulcrum around conquest and loyalty that allowed Abaddon to unite the forces of the Eye of Terror and create the Black Legion, and that same force now hovers over Soshyan.
Looking into the other person's eyes, Talos found that the other person also had black eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to feel that he was staring at the former warmaster - Horus in a nobler time.
While Talos was in a daze, Soshyan turned around, walked to a chair in the corner, and sat down.
"Ask, if it can make you feel a little more at ease, but I will only answer you four questions."
Talos's eyes were fixed on the imaginary distance, mentally considering the various strategies - the problems and possibilities.
"Who exactly are you?"
"I told you, I am the chapter leader of the Astral Knights, Soshyan."
"A Chapter Master under the Golden Throne will mix with Sevatar? Also, I am not blind. The one who used two swords earlier was obviously using the method of the Third Legion. Don't try to deny it. I and
They fought against each other many times."
Soshyan smiled slightly, and this smile looked extremely mysterious in the shadows.
"Then I also warn you, once I answer your question, no matter what happens afterwards, you will not be able to leave again."
"It sounds like you will let me go if I don't ask."
Talos shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Okay, then let me answer you, my second identity is the acting commander of the Eleventh Legion."
For a moment, Talos' body froze.
Then, he slowly spit out a cloud of white mist between his clenched teeth.
"incredible......"
"You didn't doubt what I said?"
"I learned a truth in subspace. Language that is too ridiculous is often true. I believe what you say."
Talos stared at Soshyan's face.
"I have become interested in you. I have been curious about and thought about the two missing legions, but the original body strictly prohibited any discussion of those two legions. This is also a rare case of him obeying his father's orders.
When...can you tell me more?"
"Will have the opportunity next time."
Soshyan crossed his arms and tilted his head to examine the prophet.
"Okay, do you have any more questions?"
"How did you meet Sevatar?"
"It was a coincidence at first, but now I don't think so."
Later, Soshyan briefly told the series of encounters with Savitar.
After listening, Talos frowned and his expression was solemn.
"...It's really too much of a coincidence. So you don't know anything about what happened to him in the past?"
"Is this the third question?"
Talos shook his head.
"Forget it, let's put this aside for now."
Then he started asking the third question.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Because the Legion's flagship is lost, if we want to find it, we must first find the original body's weapons. According to speculation, it may be buried in Ullanor, but now we don't know where Ullanor is, it has disappeared."
"Ulanor——"
Talos chewed on the name of this place. Of course he was familiar with this place, and any soldier who had experienced the Great Crusade would not be unfamiliar with it.
"You don't have any clues as to how it disappeared?"
"Yes, part of it. We speculate that it still existed during the Second Beast War, and then disappeared from its original location. Perhaps it was related to the Mechanicus."
"I see."
Talos nodded.
"You want me to see it."
"yes."
"It was Sevita's idea, right?"
"That's right."
Talos snorted coldly, then closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.
And Soshyan was not in a hurry, just waiting for him.
Five minutes later, Talos opened his eyes.
"The last question is, what exactly are you going to do?"
Soshyan stood up and walked to him.
"Fulfill my mission."
The two looked at each other, both in competition and testing.
Finally, Talos withdrew his gaze first.
"But why should I help you?"
When Talos said this, he was actually asking questions knowingly, because the other party held his life, which was the biggest bargaining chip.
But he still wanted to ask, he wanted to see if this man would threaten him with death.
But Soshyan made a choice that Talos had not expected.
"Have you had any dreams since you were brought here? Talos."
