Chapter 451 Haunted
夜晚
After meeting with Antonio, Leah Weide told Christina to take Howard downstairs to rest.
Before going to sleep, Howard sat on the bed. Although the sleep-aid book he borrowed from Freya was still spread out on his legs, his thoughts had long since drifted away.
Although the situation is still unclear, it cannot be said that today's gains were completely fruitless. He really did not expect to get information about "Babel Ilium" here.
If Antonio's translation is correct, this place was the fortress used by the ancient Eldar to store the power they stole that was beyond their control. So where did these Eldar steal this power from?
According to Howard's understanding, the ancient war recorded in that book was probably the war in heaven.
The so-called War in Heaven was a grand cosmic war that took place more than 60 million years ago in the Warhammer world. At that time, not to mention humans, even the monsters and demons in the warp had not yet awakened. There is even a saying that it was the negative emotions caused by the War in Heaven that stirred up the warp, thus awakening the terrible existence that had been sleeping in it.
In Howard's initial understanding, the parties that started the War in Heaven were mainly divided into two camps, one of which was the Old Ones camp. The Old Ones created the Eldar and Orcs to fight against the Star God camp and the Necrons under the Star God's command.
Of the two camps, the Old Saints camp tends to be more inclined towards psionic power and magic, so its two creations - the Eldar and the Orcs are both innate psionic races.
The Star God camp is purely materialistic. Even though they can do incredible things like magic due to the development of technology, it has nothing to do with psionic power or the subspace in essence.
However, the final result of the War in Heaven was that the leading races of both camps - the Old Ones and the Star Gods - eventually perished in the War in Heaven. The Necrons fell into a deep sleep, and the Green Orcs lost control because they no longer had the control of their Creator. The Eldar eventually became the masters of the universe and established a glorious civilization.
Until their endless depravity awakened the Lord of Pleasure.
Then the power stolen by the Eldar probably came from the leading species of both camps in the War in Heaven.
Now that I think about it, the purpose of the Death God Army that came to Karenya might be to find clues about their ancestors' heritage. It's just a pity...
At this point, Howard couldn't help but think of the overly friendly elf... Whether her friendliness was real or fake, she did not betray him until the last moment.
...Mei, are you okay...
If we could meet again, I wonder what it would be like...
Howard's ears echoed with the whisper of the Lord of Pleasure:
"I know you care about those two people very much. They should be with you right now, but because of her, you have to endure the pain of eternal separation. You should hate her just as much."
This sentence lingered in his ears like an earworm, and Howard could only distract himself by reading.
"The reason why the Emperor is a god, and different from those demons who claim to be gods, is that the Emperor does not feed on the souls of his believers. What he requires is human dedication and piety, not cruel sacrifices of flesh and blood. This has been proven in many examples, such as..."
But Howard felt dizzy after reading it for a while. He had been reading this book for several months, but he had not even finished the first part. At this rate, this book would probably accompany him to the grave.
Fortunately, after reading for a while, the whispers of Slaanesh in my ears disappeared.
So Howard closed the book. He was feeling sleepy now and needed to go to bed. He still had to check on the batch of "seeds" tomorrow. There were still many troubles to come.
Howard put the book back on the bedside table and was about to turn off the bedroom light, but with a "click", the bedroom fell into darkness before he turned off the switch.
Plunged into complete darkness.
Generally speaking, even if the lights are turned off, the indicator lights of some electrical appliances will still be on, and some light from other places outside the bedroom will be reflected in, so the room will not be so dark.
In the past, this situation only occurred during large-scale power outages late at night.
But we're inside a spaceship, and you're telling me there's a power outage?
Even if there was a power outage, why couldn't he hear any noise from the outside world?
Howard became alert instantly, and his previous sleepiness was swept away.
He first felt the switch by feel, tried it several times, but there was no response. Then he got out of bed and walked towards the bedroom door by memory, wanting to see what was going on outside.
In the darkness, his hand touched the objects that he remembered were placed in order from the door to the bed.
Chair... Cabinet... Desk... Vase...
The order was the same as he remembered, which also indicated that he was indeed walking towards the door.
Then Howard felt himself stepping on something soft. If he remembered correctly, it was the carpet at the entrance to the bedroom door, and in front of it was the bedroom door handle.
Howard reached out his hand, but all he touched was the cold wall.
He tried other places, but found nothing new.
After standing there for two seconds, Howard took out the Om Messiah and turned on the light.
Then he saw that the "door" of the bedroom disappeared and turned into a cold wall.
He looked elsewhere, and his eyelids twitched slightly in surprise.
As he groped his way to the bedroom door in the dark, he felt for a chair, a chest of drawers, a desk, and a vase.
But now there are only these few things left in the bedroom. All other furniture and decorations, even the bed he had just been lying on, have disappeared.
Is it haunted? Or is it a warp creature? Or am I dreaming?
Just as Howard was wondering, he suddenly heard the sound of bird wings flapping the air.
