"Since they agreed and came, that's the most important thing."
"Because this proves that the empire and the Tyrone sector can communicate. Regardless of whether Tyrone is actually a subordinate of the empire, on the surface they are still a member of the empire."
"Like many sectors of the Empire."
"And we can also see the Tyrone people's thoughts from the side."
"They have no intention of engaging in civil war between human races."
After hearing what the senior said, all the judges present suddenly realized.
Then, the old inquisitor, who was either respected or questioned by Chuck and the people present, looked at Chuck.
Chuck stopped hesitating, quickly moved his chair behind the senior, and asked him to sit down.
But the visitor did not sit down. He just patted Chuck on the shoulder and asked him: "Can you help me contact him? I want to meet the Lord of Tyrone."
"Of course!" Chuck nodded vigorously.
As the only Inquisitor alive in the Tyrone sector, Chuck has a way to communicate directly with the guards.
Chuck sent a message to the person in charge of intelligence liaison among the guards, explaining the senior's request.
Then the guard asked who the visitor was.
Chuck shakily typed a name into the communicator.
"Eisenhorn."
……
Eisenhorn stood in the secret stronghold of Holy Terra.
In front of the old inquisitor is a stationary stand, and in that stationary stand is a woman.
The woman looked very beautiful. She was not as old as Eisenhorn because of the many years of staying in a delicate position.
Eisenhorn looked at her.
Watching silently.
This Inquisitor, who was once thought dead by the Inquisition, returned to the Inquisition half a year ago. He wanted to serve the Imperial Regent and use his nearly exhausted lifespan to fight against the enemies of mankind.
He was a legend, but he didn't expect to be very effective.
It's just to kill some corrupted heretics and some Chaos warbands, and provide a little pull back for mankind who are rushing towards the road of destruction, that's all.
"Eisenhorn!"
A call sounded from the shadows behind the Inquisitor.
Then Eisenhorn turned his head and saw a young man slowly walking out of the shadows.
"Lord of Tyrone." Eisenhorn bowed slightly.
Inquisitors were not required to salute the governor of a sector, but Eisenhorn knew that the person in front of him was more than just a governor or a lord.
Besides, he still had something to ask for.
Qin Mo looked at Eisenhorn, surprised and excited.
He had just complained about why the guards didn't pass the news about Eisenhorn to him earlier, and then he immediately found Eisenhorn's secret stronghold.
Eisenhorn was wondering how Qin Mo found him. In his imagination, he should have been introduced by the guy named Chuck, and then met at the residence arranged by the high lords.
But considering the rumors he'd heard, Eisenhorn wasn't bothered.
"You...you are a legend." Qin Mo said excitedly.
If there are any inquisitors in the Inquisition that Qin Mo admires, Eisenhorn is one of them. The other refers to a group of inquisitors who can still maintain rationality in handling matters after possessing the power of inquisitors.
Eisenhorn is an unquestionable legend.
He eliminated the fallen inquisitors and smashed the alien conspiracy outside the Star Torch.
He was once declared an enemy of mankind by the empire and was jointly suppressed, but he was cleared of his grievances and found out the mastermind behind the scenes.
He is a walking legend and a walking story.
"Do you know me?" Eisenhorn was curious. He could see that the young leader in front of him was very interested in him.
"Yes." Qin Mo nodded in response, and then added in his mind.
In Eisenhorn III…Quartet.
Qin Mo looked at Eisenhorn from top to bottom, and then looked at everything here curiously.
It's very empty here, with only one static stand, that's all.
After seeing the still position, Qin Mo suddenly became less excited and became sad.
Lying in that still position is Eisenhorn's lover.
Like the people before him, Eisenhorn had lost a lot.
Friend, brother, apprentice, lover...
Those he cared about, those who cared about him, all left when he grew older and experienced a little more and became legendary, or died or heard nothing from them.
Chapter 602 The feelings between the soulless and the psychic
"Her name is Bei Kun."
Eisenhorn walked to the stationary stand.
The fingers wrapped in wrinkled skin lifted up tremblingly, trying to touch, but then retracted.
Eisenhorn's hand had been injured, and as he aged, the sequelae of the hand injury were just the most insignificant of many hidden illnesses.
Qin Mo looked at Eisenhorn's right leg.
The right leg was equipped with some kind of instrument and was shaking constantly.
Qin Mo wanted to ask, but considering Eisenhorn, he swallowed his words and pretended not to see anything.
The hero dies.
Legends live in the words of conversation held in the most secret corners.
This is the most touching thing.
"Since you know me well, you should know that I am not a conservative judge." Eisenhorn turned to look at Qin Mo, "I am different from them. You know, I am a radical."
"Sure, sure, you may have heard from other people that I'm callous and cruel and a jerk, but that's one-sided."
The Inquisitor talked about a lot of things about how he was different from other Inquisitors, and elaborated on the choices he made that were different from other Inquisitors in the mission.
He couldn't laugh, and he didn't like to laugh, but he laughed anyway, and the smile was expressed in his tone rather than his face.
Qin Mo didn't know why he said this.
And Eisenhorn seemed to be trying to be nice.
Qin Mo said nothing and listened quietly to Eisenhorn's words.
He expected Eisenhorn to say the coolest words in the coolest tone, like "My patience is limited, but my power is not."
But it was as if he expressed his desire to meet the Lord of Tyrone in front of the judges. This seemed to involve something that made it difficult for him to suppress his impulses with reason and ruthlessness.
"Although you may not understand, we are old friends and I know you well."
After Eisenhorn finished speaking, Qin Mo patted his shoulder armor and said in a heavy tone.
Eisenhorn nodded in a daze, but seemed uneasy and continued talking.
Qin Mo saw his trembling legs again, so he interrupted Eisenhorn: "Why can't we sit down and talk slowly?"
Eisenhorn then subconsciously looked for a chair, only to find two metal chairs appearing behind them at some unknown time.
The two sat down.
"About the untouchable..." Eisenhorn looked at the stationary stand and told about the woman inside.
The woman's name is Bei Kun.
She was once a woman who sold her body for food and money.
She is untouchable.
During a case, she met Eisenhorn.
Then the two experienced many, many things together, too many things.
Eisenhorn tells the story vividly, like a bystander watching Eisenhorn and his cool team go on a cool adventure.
Qin Mo has known these things for a long time. He remembers them more clearly than Eisenhorn. He can even find errors in a small detail in Eisenhorn's narrative.
But Qin Mo still listened with curiosity and interest as if he had heard it for the first time.
Because hearing Eisenhorn himself tell his legend is an extremely rare and interesting experience.
What Eisenhorn didn't know was that the person in front of him knew the hidden parts of himself.
Feelings for Bei Kun.
As an Inquisitor, Eisenhorn was undoubtedly a psyker.
And Bekun is an untouchable.
The two of them are like two people with special abilities who are naturally incompatible with each other.
But the two still had feelings for each other, but they never expressed it.
Bei Kun still doesn't know what Eisenhorn is thinking, just like she doesn't know what's happening in the outside world since she was injured.
Eisenhorn did not express her feelings for Bei Kun, but described the life-and-death friendship in as much detail as possible in front of Qin Mo.
Like looking for a motive for something.
Eisenhorn kept talking, and Qin Mo couldn't believe what this man had said so far.
He told about the most interesting action between himself and Bei Kun. He and Bei Kun pretended to be a couple, saying that he was doing business, while Bei Kun was eating and drinking and enjoying a temporary luxurious life.
He also said that Bei Kun is an optimistic and cheerful girl. Even though she was born untouchable and even though she experienced many tragedies, she is still optimistic and cheerful.
"You like her, right?"
