Empty and glassy.
According to think tank director Kahulangi.
That was an ancient artifact that Raven King Corax gave to the Forsaken to guard before he exiled the Carcharodon Warband.
Unfortunately, the Primarch did not reveal the specific function of the ancient artifact, but only left a warning that can be used in the most desperate times.
However, over a thousand years ago, the Carcharodon Warband lost this ancient artifact.
And the priest brother who was responsible for keeping the artifact became the only one who wanted to recover the artifact and atone for his sins.
Perhaps the Astartes of the Carcharodon Regiment were also angry and roared at that time.
But today, a thousand years later, they seem to have given up all hope of recovering the ancient artifacts.
"Although I can understand that the situation of the Carcharodon Regiment was indeed difficult in the past, and it is also difficult to understand why the Raven King did not explain clearly when he asked you to keep the ancient artifact..."
"But you guys actually plan to get away with it like this. This is beyond my imagination."
On the metal throne of the ancient temple.
With a stern expression, Rorschach first glanced at the silent Chapter Master Tiberus.
Then he turned his cold gaze to a group of the oldest Carcharodon Astartes.
"If the Pale Nomad hadn't told me by accident, I wouldn't even know about this!"
"It doesn't really matter whether you have or lose an ancient artifact! But I don't like the attitude of your Carcharodon Squadron!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rorschach suddenly raised one vibranium hand and clenched it into a fist.
He slammed his fist hard on the handle of the metal throne, causing a loud bang of metal collision!
Boom boom boom——
The next moment, all the Astartes, including Chapter Master Tiberus.
Without hesitation, they knelt on one knee in the direction of the metal throne and slowly lowered their heads.
"Please calm down, Master Primarch—"
"Respected Primarch, the former Carcharodon Regiment really had no way to deal with this. The countless invasions of the Tyranids into the Ghoul Star Region, or the more mysterious aliens, have also distracted us too much..."
At this moment, the think tank chief, the pale nomad, was the first to raise his drooping head.
He stared at Rorschach on the metal throne with his dark eyes and said loudly:
"My Lord Primarch, now may be our important chance to completely recover the ancient artifact. With the emergence of the Great Rift and the more frequent invasions of the Tyranids, the war situation could not be worse than it is now."
"Although we don't know what this ancient artifact, Kongji Liuli, represents, but if it is useful, we can use it not only to deal with the Tyranids, but also to help the Empire deal with more battlefields!"
As soon as the words fell.
Rorschach squinted his eyes and looked at the chief think tank in a very covert way.
"Let the priest brother come in. I think we need more intelligence information to understand the full picture of the matter."
The next second, Rorschach took a deep breath and leaned his vibranium power armor against the back of the metal throne.
He immediately waved to the people below and said.
Wait until all the Astartes stand up from the ground one after another.
A priest brother in old power armor led his hunting team into the ancient hall.
"Tangata Manu, the chaplain of the Carcharodon Chapter and the sinner who lost the ancient artifact, comes to see the Primarch!"
The Astartes priest named Manu knelt on one knee without hesitation.
The Astartes who followed him did not hesitate to pledge their loyalty to Rorschach.
"Okay, everyone, get up and talk about business first."
Rorschach raised his eyebrows slightly.
He raised his hand and asked the people in front of him to stand up immediately.
"I heard that you have been searching for the ancient artifact 'Empty Glaze' for more than a thousand years?"
"My Lord Primarch, it is one thousand four hundred and fifty-three."
Pastor Manu raised his head slightly, looked at Rorschach with his dark eyes and replied.
"So, in these 1,453 years, have you ever found any trace of Kongji Liuli?"
Rorschach continued to ask with a serious expression.
"My Lord Primarch, only once, and that was before we returned."
Pastor Manu nodded without any hesitation.
"Oh? Then why didn't you retrieve the ancient artifact? Or was the enemy you faced at that time too difficult to deal with?"
Rorschach asked casually as he stared at the priest brothers below.
Priest Manu was silent for a moment, but still said without hiding anything:
"To be precise, by the time we found the trace of the artifact, it was still a little too late. The ancient artifact had already been stolen by a dark Eldar conspiracy group called the Piercing Rose."
"The Cabal? The Dark Eldar?"
After hearing about a familiar alien race.
Rorschach's expression gradually became serious and he slowly straightened his back.
He once again questioned Priest Manu:
"Why would the Dark Eldar seek the ancient artifact that belonged to the Raven King?"
"My Lord Primarch, those pointy ears don't know what it is. They simply think it might be a precious treasure that can win the favor of the Archon of the Cabal... We still have a chance to recover this ancient artifact, but we need your strong support or the Carcharodon Chapter."
Pastor Manu took a deep breath.
He slowly bowed to Rorschach who was sitting on the metal throne.
"Tiberus, what do you think about this?"
At this moment, Rorschach turned his gaze and looked at Tiberus who had remained silent.
"My Lord Primarch, I think that is just an illusory ancient artifact. Although it is extremely precious, it is not worth it for the Carcharodon Regiment to mobilize more resources and combat power. Let me believe that a sinner who has failed for 1,453 years can succeed. I would rather give him the final judgment cleanly!"
Tiberus slowly raised his two lightning-powered claws and stared at the tall back of Priest Manu.
He spoke in a low voice towards Rorschach.
"Reverend Tangata Manu, do you have anything else to say?"
Without expressing any intention, Rorschach turned his attention to the priest brothers.
He asked the other party in a calm tone.
"Respected Primarch, Chapter Master and all Void Brothers, I am indeed a sinner who has unfortunately lost the ancient artifact and cannot be forgiven. But this time, I am willing to use my life as a guarantee!"
"I know which Dark Eldar stole the Void Glaze, and I also know which conspiracy group the Dark Eldar belongs to. There is only one last clue left to track. I beg the Primarch and the Chapter Master to allow me to continue the hunt!"
"If this mission ultimately fails, I am willing to be executed immediately, but if it succeeds, we will be able to take back the Void Glaze and even use it to take revenge on more enemies of the Emperor!"
Thank you for your support!
