Warhammer Inquisitor

Vito has already forgotten when was the last time he chatted with people like this. When was the last time he was able to have a hearty chat with people with his true identity and face for a while without reservation. It feels like a long time, a long time Vito himself forgot the time.

The Supreme Marshal stood in front of the fountain, and the sparkling water in it rippled under the influence of the falling water column, distorting Vito's face into blurred appearances.

Vito stretched out his palm to hold a pool of clear water in the pool. He looked at his own reflection on the surface of the turbulent water. To be honest, he almost didn’t know himself, Marshal? This title made him both familiar and strange.

"I want to tell you a story, Bell, a story from a long, long time ago."

Bell looked at Vito and listened silently, he was a qualified listener, and Vito himself looked at the water and talked on his own.

"After the Terra Defense War, I handed over the regent position to Guilliman. I was too tired at the time, tired in every sense, Bell, so after I helped Guilliman write the "Astarte Codex", Get out of people's sight."

"Dawn came to look for me halfway and asked me about my attitude towards the scriptures. After I told him I agreed, Dawn left without saying a word. Then I heard that he disappeared during a boarding assault."

"After that I went to a...paradise world? I can't remember, it's been too long, anyway, I stayed there for a long time and spent a rare and pleasant time."

"Even after Guilliman and the Primarchs left, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After that, the empire experienced five hundred years of peace. Don't believe me, the empire was really peaceful at that time. Only Frontier occasionally fights with Chaos and Alien."

Vito smiled and separated his palms slightly, and water droplets poured down from the gap between his fingers, "I thought everything was safe in the empire, and I was no longer needed, Bell, I was ready to retire completely until the Beast War outbreak."

"The Beast War made me fully realize how rotten the empire really is. Under the illusion of peace, the high lord council, how corrupt the empire has become."

"Then why didn't you go back to Terra and disband the entire High Lords Council? Marshal, the last member of the Imperial Fists at that time, Captain Kurand had summoned the Sons of Dorn's regiments to gather in Terra, All Space Marines will support you if you show up."

Bell asked. He watched the water drop in Vito's hand drop by drop until it completely merged into the water surface. Vito looked at the turbulent water surface, "Believe me, Bell, I thought about it, but then Vulkan appeared." "Fire Dragon Lord? Yes, Marshal, I remember the epic story, the Lord of Fire Dragon sacrificed himself to save the empire."

Vito smiled, "Besides the official propaganda of the empire, there are many things. At that time, I told the Grand Mentor of the Inquisition, Veritus, where to find Vulkan, and then Kurland took the space fighters with him." We have welcomed back the last of the Emperor's Children."

"They wanted Vulkan to take charge of the empire and save the crisis situation. At that time, I was also persuaded by the two great mentors of the Tribunal and the Assassin Court to go to Terra."

"The supreme leaders of the Assassin Court and Trial Court have always known that I am still alive, and they also know where to find me. They still reserved the position of the real "Great Mentor" for me."

Vito shrugged with a wry smile, "I told them not to bother me, and they rarely come to me, unless the matter is very important, you know Bell, the degree to which the empire is about to end."

"So I went to Terra and watched as Vulkan received the High Lords surrounded by Space Marines and gave them a beating."

Vito smiled jokingly, and turned his head to look at Bell with a smile on his face, "Believe me, Bell, those old idiots were scared to death, and two of them were scared to death on the spot."

Vito said with a smile and lowered his eyes. He turned his head to look at the angel statue in front of him, which symbolized life and hope.

"At first I also hoped that Vulkan, the kindest and most compassionate Primarch of the Emperor, would change the empire, but Vulkan didn't do that. He said this to me at the time, Bell."

"The emperor created us and gave us and the space fighters the power to protect mankind and seek the well-being of all mankind rather than rule. Rebellion."

"If this is the limit of mortals, so be it, but I will not be a monarch, I will take up the hammer and carry on my mission."

Bell listened and nodded silently, "The most reasonable words, my lord."

Vito smiled gratifiedly, he knew that he didn't need to explain these things to Bell, he was very smart and knowledgeable, he could figure it out by himself.

"You will know everything after that. Vulcan and the boss of the beast died together. Kurland's last Imperial Fist warrior died in Ulano. Afterwards, the leader of the Paragon Fist, Maximian Sion Reorganize your own warband to continue the blood of the Dorne mother regiment."

Vito raised his head with his hands behind his back and looked at the painted starry sky above his head. The murals shining with fluorescent particles shone above his head, like a shining galaxy.

"At that time, I led all the remaining Star Warrior battle groups. The Imperial Navy blocked several times the Greenskin Fleet in the star field around Ulanor. Otherwise, why do you think that the Empire suffered heavy losses when it attacked Ulanor twice? Sion can still Bring the Sister of Silence to fight for the third round? Can they do it without me outside to fight the blocking battle?"

Vito said with a smile, and Bell nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Marshal, if you didn't take action, the empire might have collapsed by then."

"Come on, don't flatter the horse, Bell, I'm not a high lord, so I don't need to flatter you." Vito said, with a long sigh, "I learned about Vulkan's sacrifice during the expedition, and later the Grand Mentor of the Assassin Court Wan Grich came to me and told me that Sion ordered him to destroy Ullanor, but the Mechanicum thought it had tricked him."

"The Mechanicum lied about using the teleportation technology obtained from the green skin battle moon to teleport Ulanor into a sun and destroy it, but in fact they secretly teleported it away in an attempt to continue secretly researching green skin technology. Before they Just trying to teleport Mars away in this way, to abandon the Empire."

Bell frowned, his nameless anger burning in his heart, Vito knew that everyone who knew about this would do this, this kind of betrayal was unacceptable.

"Wangrich found me and showed that he could not trust the High Lords Council. He asked me to return to the empire to dissolve the High Lords Council and take over the power of the empire. I rejected him and told him that only mortals can decide the fate of the empire. I People from the past can’t make decisions for them.”

"Wangerich obeyed my opinion, and he asked me to allow him to do that, assassinate all the members of the high lord council and let him take over the council, so as to better assist Thion in launching an expedition against the greenskin frenzy, he Knowing that only I have the right to order an assassination without a vote of the High Lords Council, even if it means killing all the Lords."

Vito walked past Bell with his hands behind his back, and the Ultramarines turned and followed Vito.

"I did think about similar things at the time, but Vulkan's words made me think a lot, and I decided to let the mortals solve it by themselves, so I agreed to Wangerich's request, and the trial court also obeyed my order, Veritus, Grand Master of the Inquisition, was peacefully killed by the Assassins, after which Vangerich began his own reign."

"Yes, Marshal, I know everything after that." Bell said silently, while Vito sighed and looked at the starry sky mural above his head with his hands behind his back.

"The matter of Wangerich has given me a lot of insights. Bell, he is a very good person. I appoint every assassin master. Even after I leave the empire, they will choose me as the new master. I will decide the appointment."

"Wangerich made me treat the issue of "taking over" the empire very seriously from then on. I have thought about it many times, but I suppressed it because I knew that the same might happen to me in that position. That position is a torture, an endless hell, and finally wears out a person's humanity, reason and sensibility."

Vito turned to look at Bell, who was thinking wistfully. Bell didn't fully understand, but he might eventually understand, and the days to come were long before he would understand.

"Thank you for your answer, Marshal, I have benefited a lot." Bell knelt down and saluted, while Vito covered his face with a wry smile, "Can you stop doing this? It's so embarrassing to death."

"No, this is what I should do, my lord, it should be like this in front of the Supreme Marshal." Bell said stubbornly, while Vito walked up to him with a wry smile and said by pressing his shoulder.

"Then the Supreme Marshal has an order for you." "What is it, Marshal?"

"Keep my secret, don't tell anyone my identity, even to Olaf and the others, maybe one day I will tell them, but not now."

Vito looked at Bell and said, the latter slowly turned his head to look at Vito, and nodded resolutely after some thought, "I swear on my life, I will never tell the secret, Marshal."

Vito laughed and patted the back of his head, "I don't need your life, call me Vito or Judge from now on, don't call me Marshal."

"Yes, Yuan." Bell hesitated to speak, but Vito patted him on the shoulder with a smile and turned to the exit of the viewing platform, "You will get used to it."

"I will do my best, my lord." Bell said and stood up, and Vito walked out of the viewing platform with a smile, "I believe you will, old man."

In the name of the emperor, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, or ask for a monthly pass (*￣m￣)
