Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 356 Malcador's Private Collection (Please subscribe)

"The Emperor wishes to see you."

Malcador's words hit Roche's mind like a slap in the face.

He had previously asked Rogal Dorn to take him to see the Lord of Mankind, whether he wanted to seek an answer or simply wanted to meet this great man.

Dorn replied that the Emperor's present plight was unbearable, trapped within the Golden Throne, battling his enemies in the Warp.

He originally thought that this so-called "right time" would take a longer time to wait, but he did not expect that Makado would bring this news.

"Now, now? What do I need to do?"

Even Roche began to get nervous at the thought of meeting the Lord of Mankind. No one could remain calm and composed when meeting the Emperor. Even if one of the other party's brilliant achievements was picked out, it would be enough to rank among the best in human history.

"Don't worry, I told you, let's talk while we walk."

Luo Xi discovered that the place where he was now might be what was called the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the past. The atmosphere here was obviously thinner than the standard atmosphere, and some tall and magnificent buildings were constantly purifying the air here.

"Everyone calls me the Seal Bearer. In fact, the meaning of this word is not just to assist the Lord of Humanity in holding the Seal. The Seal Bearer is also an organization, a group of humans whose mission is to preserve human history."

"The Sigillites are an ancient and secretive order, and we have existed on Terra for tens of thousands of years before the Emperor appeared on Terra.

We are committed to collecting, saving and protecting the greatest historical artifacts and ancient advanced science and technology in human history, so that the preserved knowledge can be returned to mankind after mankind emerges from the era of conflict. "

Makado spoke eloquently, and listening to his description, Luo Xi also felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.

This sounds... similar to the task that the chief had entrusted to him.

The "Future Support" plan he accepted was to pass on all the knowledge and technology that could be backed up and recorded up to the era they were in, as well as intangible things such as past culture.

The Red Alert's database contains an extremely large amount of data, including most of the information about humans from ancient times to the time point when he fell asleep.

With the human brain, it is impossible to record even one billionth of it, so it depends on artificial intelligence and databases to pass it on.

"Yes, that sounds a lot like it, doesn't it?" Malcador smiled.

He seemed to be able to read Luo Xi's mind and understand what he was thinking.

Luo Xi followed him into a huge room that smelled of incense. It was extremely empty, with candles burning quietly on the walls.
"According to ancient records, the emergence of the Sigillite Organization is related to the human scientist named Chief in the Golden Age. However, that period of history went through the turmoil of the Dark Age of Technology and it is no longer possible to verify it."

Luo Xi really didn't expect to hear the chief's name from Makado's mouth, which made him feel a trance-like sense of unreality.

It was like discovering words and records left behind by a friend from that time among the remains of an ancient monument from long ago. Time seemed to become blurred and overlapping at this moment.

"So in a sense, you and I are fellow travelers?" Luo Xi didn't expect that he and the prime minister of the empire actually had such a relationship.

“You could say that, but you can’t say that completely,” Malcador said slowly, his words vague. “The Sigillite Order survived the Dark Age of Technology, the terrible war of the Iron Rebellion, and the chaos of the Age of Strife could not sever its heritage.”

"But now, the Seal Master Organization has been disbanded by me, and I am the last surviving member of this organization."

Luo Xi was suddenly stunned. This glorious organization...was it going to be extinct in this generation?
Also, why was it Malcador himself who disbanded the Sigillite organization? Is there something unknown about this?

Although Malcador is an immortal and a powerful psychic, if an organization is left with only one person, can it still be called an organization?
"Haha, it's actually very simple. Even if it's an organization with pure goals, after ten thousand years of inheritance, it will more or less degenerate. The significance of the existence of my generation of seal holders has changed. An organization that has committed numerous crimes should be destroyed."

Malcador said lightly that he was taking Roche to see his most treasured collection.

"We have an ancient base in the Himalayas that has been passed down for a long time, and it stores many relics from the past. Some are the legacy of civilization, and some are technological creations left over from the glorious era. On this foundation, the Emperor built the imperial palace and included this as well." The place where the three of them were located was the Terra Palace on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This magnificent building, which occupies nearly a quarter of the Asian continent, is a miracle of human civilization.

Countless tall marble buildings were built by the best craftsmen, with carved beams and painted rafters, lined up one after another, like a world of magnificent architecture.

In the secret collection room of the imperial chancellor, only the two most precious cultural heritages are on display.

The room, which was of unknown size, was completely dark, with only lights on around the two collections.

This seems to represent that in the darkness, only the precious heritage of human civilization can illuminate the light.

Luo Xi took two steps forward and felt as if there was some invisible force in front of him blocking his progress.

It was not reinforced glass or any transparent material, but an invisible energy shield.

"This is……"

When Luo Xi saw the treasures inside, his eyes suddenly lit up and he screamed in surprise.

He saw a smiling woman. That mysterious smile had fascinated countless people in his time. He still remembered the name of that thing - [Mona Lisa's Smile].

Next to this famous painting is an oil painting of blooming sunflowers, and its author is Van Gogh, the famous artist of the second millennium of mankind. His sunflowers are treasured here.

"They actually still exist in the world. I thought they had long disappeared in the waves of history."

"You collected them? Sigil Master."

When humans first moved from planets to the universe, there were naturally drastic political reorganizations and struggles. The precious works of art from these countries have long since disappeared in the constant turmoil and innovation.

Even the national form has disappeared, so naturally no one will notice where those precious civilization heritages have gone.

"It's such a blessing to be able to see them after tens of thousands of years." Luo Xi said with heartfelt emotion. He looked at the woman with the mysterious smile, as if he had returned to that carefree era.

At that time, humans were looking forward to the future, fantasizing about whether there would be alien life and whether humans were alone in this universe.

Seeing Roxi's obsessed and intoxicated expression, Malcador also smiled sincerely. He leaned on his double-headed eagle scepter, enjoying the relaxation and pride of the moment.

It is really a boring and disappointing thing to have a collection but no one knows how to appreciate it.

As far as Malcador could remember, no more than five humans knew of its existence, and everyone else, even a Primarch like Dorn, only had memories and impressions of it recorded in their genes.

They only know that this is a cultural relic from the ancient times of the Earth, and they can even fully tell its origin and story, but they cannot truly understand its significance and the period of time it carries.

There are many things that cannot be fully understood without actually experiencing them.

Roche’s arrival undoubtedly brought in a knowledgeable audience, much to Machado’s delight.

"During the Age of Strife, some people wanted to take these things away, but I stopped them."

"I personally sent them to see Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh."

Malcador said proudly, and Roxi could also imagine that it was a sad thing for those people to want to snatch things from a powerful psychic like Malcador.
