The Astartes Family's Notebook

Samar, the murderer and arsonist, and Kazhongtang, the savior of suffering.

We mustn't lose our family's traditional skills.

Chapter 428 The Hazy Starfield X First Glimpse

Before we knew it, people born in 26 are already two thousand years old.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Kaz was dreaming.

While dreams are not uncommon in Astartes, they are also quite rare.

But these are not the main points.

Because Astartes is not an ordinary being, the Emperor added too much technology and ruthless measures when he created Astartes. Humans' dream forgetting mechanism is a form of self-protection. In order to distinguish whether it is a real dream or chaos encroaching on reality, Astartes' brain can perfectly recall the details of the dream.

But Kaz forgot.

He couldn't remember the details of his dream!

Good heavens, this is terrible! This is definitely chaos corruption!!!

Oh, I'm on the Shicun ship right now, so it's fine.

Telling himself not to scare himself, Kaz began to seriously recall his fragmented dream memories.

After going through it again and again, only four names remained that I remembered exceptionally clearly.

"The Crimson Sky Blood Fierce Martial Emperor Who Suppresses Heaven".

"The Myriad Changes of the Mysterious Vault of Heaven: The Primordial Lord of the Dao".

"The Great Void's withering and flourishing, giving birth and transformation, the compassionate and tranquil True Lord."

"The Bodhisattva of the Radiant Light and Blossoming Spirit".

What does "what is what" mean?

This is......

Love comes from the Emperor!

Katz finally realized that he had been sealed by his own perception.

He couldn't quite picture the names of those four guys in his mind.

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of my teacher.

What kind of teacher?

I'm afraid of my teacher.

Thank you, Ma Dongmei.

A normal person would panic in this situation, but Katz, as a seasoned imperialist feudal theocratic warrior, was used to relying on the emperor's protection when in doubt.

Instead of showing any fear of paranormal events, they even had the leisure to gloat over their own imperial grandfather.

Give me some, Your Majesty, please give me more. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, please give me more. Let me rummage around a bit more.

Um, so is it possible that the Emperor didn't do this?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! My imperial grandfather is the number one warrior of the empire, and he is invincible!

Kaz's stubbornness left even the Eldar prophet of the Ark speechless.

The ceremony failed?

No, if the dream ritual fails, the war shaman and the prophet who jointly cast the spell will definitely suffer a severe psionic backlash, either dying or being maimed.

Since everyone is alright, the ceremony must have been a success.

But why is Astartes acting like nothing happened?

The Purgatory Galaxy, this cesspool, produces new rotten work every day.

However, for the Eldar, especially the White Sprout of the Ark Eldar, challenging the prophecy is a weekly task, something that must be done.

During the time that Kazia was adrift in space, something of moderate importance happened in the real universe.

Talos Valcoran, a veteran of the Eighth Legion known as the Soul Hunter, is dead.

So what if they died? Saint Gilles and Philus Manus died, Horus and Coz died too. Primarchs can't escape the shadow of death. He was just an ordinary Astartes. What's so strange about that?

Sigh, it really is a bit different.

Although Talos Valcoran's official position during his time with the Legion was that of an apothecary, he had allocated all his skill points to swordsmanship, and his talent was the precognitive ability inherited from his Primarch.

In other words, this is a human prophet who claims to be a medical professional but is actually incredibly skilled in combat.

Apart from the Lord of the Night and Sevita the Raven Prince, Talos had never served anyone else in the Legion.

The title of Chief Swordsman is truly prestigious. If you disagree, we'll settle this in the octagon. Plus, we're giving away free gene seed recycling services, my friend!

Koz's twisted nature and the inherent arrogance of the Onsa race are fully revealed in the story of "Soul Hunter".

Here's what happened: In the later stages of the Great Rebellion, Koz began to doubt his own existence. However, unlike Perturabo, who would play the eleven-draw game on his offspring when he was unhappy, Koz, after becoming disappointed with the Legion's offspring, chose to let them drift.

At that time, the emperor had just ascended the Golden Throne and was in good condition. He once communicated with his pet, Hachi, through psychic means.

The general idea is that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. As long as you are willing to come back, all of that evil stuff will cease to exist. You will still be the Eighth Prince of the Empire, my good son.

But Coz's stubborn streak kicked in.

"If I can be forgiven for committing such crimes, then where is justice and fairness?"

Well, Conrad Coates, you're a real man!

At this point in the story, the Night Lord's character arc was already brilliant enough, and Koz washed away the stain on his character with his own demise.

However, not long after Horus's death, before Koz calmly accepted the assassination attempt by Mushen, a female assassin from Calidus sent by the Empire, Talos had seen his own Primarch once.

"A soul. When everyone else is indifferent to revenge, you are the only one hunting that shining soul."

No, buddy, you were the one who faced death calmly, you were the one who let Mu Shen go, you were the one who refused the emperor's offer of amnesty for the sake of justice and righteousness, and you were the one who disliked your offspring for not avenging your original body.

Koz, are you fucking crazy?

Oh, sorry, Koz really is sick, but never mind.

As a result, the other Midnight Lords actually listened to their Primarch and let Mu Shen leave.

After hearing of Koz's death, Talos pursued her across the entire galaxy, eventually catching up with Mu Shen. He then disemboweled the female assassin and finely chopped her into mincemeat.

It refers to the literal meaning of finely chopping the meat sauce, rather than a literary embellishment.

At this point, it's not a big deal. The father's choice to forgive and the son's choice to seek revenge don't seem to conflict.

However, the Eighth Legion tried to save face, claiming that the reason for their reneging was that Mu Shen stole Conrad Coz's "Crown of the Night" while assassinating Coz.

This is just...

Surely the Emperor couldn't have stuffed Koz's soul into the "Night Crown," which symbolized the supreme command authority of the Eighth Legion, and let the female assassin take it away when he was dying.

It just highlights the fact that they're at a loss for words, okay?

However, although the first half of the story is a mess, Talos's death is very heroic.

The Soul Hunter was incredibly strong, no one could deny that. However, no one knew that his final battle was against the Phoenix Lord, who was ruthless in martial arts.

Don't you understand the significance of the Phoenix Lord title?

The Primarch of the Adarin, you get it now.

By forcibly exchanging himself for the Phoenix Lord in the form of an Astartes, he made the Eldar afraid to even mention it. It was a disgrace, and the Ark Eldar couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Furthermore, before his death, Talos also experienced the once-in-a-lifetime prophetic vision passed down from the Lord of the Night.

This prophecy reveals that, under the prophet's leadership, the shattered legions will reunite to exact a bloody revenge on the Eldarin.

Then, the Aidaling tribe fell ill again, and their ancestral skills began to itch to be used again.

The Eldar prophets foresaw Talos's dying prophecy.

But it doesn't matter, the Phoenix Lord is immortal. As long as we find that lost armor, we can completely resurrect the Phoenix Lord.

Could a mere rabble from the Eighth Legion of Astartes, under the leadership of the Phoenix Lord, possibly cause any trouble?

Originally, Talos and the Phoenix Lord had perished together, and the matter should have ended there.

However, it was precisely because of the Eldar's unnecessary actions that Talos's comrade Varel chose to use the recovered gene seed.

Varel originally wanted to find a candidate who matched Talos's temperament.

As a result of the Eldar's provocation, Varel became increasingly angry and directly used Talos's gene seed on the son of the Warband servant "Number Seven," "Number Ten."

And it was this nameless "Number Ten" who completed the cycle of fate. The first big thing this guy did was to suggest that the Eighth Legion attack the Usvi Ark world of the Adalin race.

However, this relates to the "Crown of the Night" mentioned in the first half of the story.

The Eighth Army Corps after its split was a veritable gathering of heroes.

From the Empire's perspective, the Midnight Lords split into two factions: Crossbones and Red Skull.

However, based on the testimony of the previously captured bat cub Sullatis, the Desolate Wings learned that the Eighth Legion was infinitely divisible.

Conrad Coates' Primarch Guard faction, the Nightbat Council faction, those who support Sevita, those who support Slywalker, those who support Van Chord, the Northramor natives, the Terran faction, the factions pulled together by the Tattooed Earl...

Even the most eccentric people in the inner circle of the First Legion would be stunned for a while if they came.

What the hell is going on?

Therefore, if "Number Ten" wants to reunify the Eighth Legion, bloodline alone is not enough. As the inheritor of Talos's gene seed, this alone is not enough to make him a lower-ranking replacement for Prince Sevita of the Ravens.

However, adding Koz's "Night Crown" makes things more interesting.

The turmoil surrounding the Eighth Legion had absolutely nothing to do with Katz.

But fate is just so cruel.

The Adarin are most adept at the self-fulfilling of prophecies.

Because Talos was a powerful prophet second only to Koz and Severus, all related information about his final battle with the Phoenix Lord was hidden due to the psychic energy reverberating from his death. The Eldar were completely unable to find out any information about the location of the battle through the prophetic methods of the prophets.

But it doesn't matter. The leader's wife giving the driver 200,000 yuan to inquire about her husband's itinerary is a political issue. If the driver answers, he will be considered unreliable and will ruin his career. But is it taboo for me to report my work itinerary to the leader's wife?

Right, right? This matter is also recorded at 10 Downing Street. Little Angel Bernard did not tell Sir Humphrey the lady's name.

Although Sulad had failed at the hands of Kaz, he probably didn't even know how he, an ordinary person, had become involved with the soul hunter Talos.

None of that matters. What matters is that the Adarin race didn't have the courage to storm Haven Star and rescue people from the prison of the Desolate Wings Fortress Monastery.

After all, with such a massive Ramirez-class star fortress hanging in the sky above the Crown of Lucia, even the most arrogant Eldar wouldn't dare to risk their own Ark world to provoke the star fortress.

So what can we do? We'll have to consult the oracle, what else can we do?

Well, things took a turn for the better. The poor bastard Kaz had just emerged from the Eye of Fear when the Eldar prophets spotted him.

The image on the central display card is closely related to the search for the lost Phoenix Lord.

The Ishimura is just too haunted by evil spirits, and the gaze of the Four Gods on Kars, this Chaos Astartes, is too intense. We need to shield him from the gaze of the Four Gods before we can capture him.

Who are you calling a traitor to chaos? You bunch of white bean sprouts, who are you calling a traitor to chaos?

It's only because Kaz didn't know the whole story that he acted so magnanimously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for the Eighth Legion's broken sword to be reforged. Commander Kaz would have shown the Ark Eldar how the title "Blade of Annihilation" came about.

Honestly, ever since he had that inexplicable dream he can't remember, Katz's sleep quality has improved a lot.

Space pirates have never been a prestigious profession, and even an Imperial-standard destroyer is a rather large ship for them.

Even with a dozen or so pirate ships working together, it still took half a month to tow the Stone Village back to Starport.

So what should Katz do next?

Of course, it's about wandering around.

The Empire's spaceports, whether officially planned or privately constructed, perfectly embody the aesthetic principle that a human empire is all about size, strength, and beauty.

While Kaz's stealth skills were questionable in the eyes of his eagle brothers, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary people and surveillance equipment.

Completely unconcerned about the pirates' "strategy" for the destroyer Ishimura, Kaz thought, "Let them play around with the evil spirits on board if they want." He casually pocketed some precious metals and prepared to head to the black market.

Believe it or not, after only two hours of wandering around, Katz discovered five Astartes coded messages.
