Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 10 10. Dark Lord
Zhi Gaotian's existence is always unpredictable, and no one can guess what the subspace will do.

Even the Dark Master is the same.

Zeratul carefully explored the changing tide of subspace in his temple, trying to understand why the ancient saint who had been sleeping for a long time was now resurrected.

Is this the idea of ​​the evil god or the resurgence of the race?Who knows?So Zeratul came seeking answers from the void.

The terrifying subspace energy was nothing more than a subtle flow of water in the eyes of this experienced elder, but he still did not dare to relax his vigilance, because safety and danger in subspace only lasted a moment.

After 20 long minutes, Zeratul stood up slowly and shook his head.

"I still haven't figured it out yet. Maybe it would be better to meet in person."

But Zeratul suddenly understood that he might not be able to see Gray even once. Although the Old Saint had been revived for nearly a month, he had only appeared in public once, and the rest of the time had been hidden in the great temple of Aiur. It is said that there are some calculations and projects going on, and it is difficult for even the senior leaders of Kalai Protoss to see him, let alone Nechiram. It is as difficult as going to the sky to see him.

Since he can't see the Old One, Zeratul can only continue to obtain information in the ocean of subspace.But this time, when he just touched the Sea of ​​Souls, he suddenly received a terrible message. This very small message seemed to have been deliberately amplified dozens of times and deliberately allowed him to receive it.

That was the message of the human astropaths.

"The expeditionary force is ready. Nearly one and a half chapters of Astartes and 17 Astra Militarum legions are about to set off. They will take 23 capital ships and 64 small battleships and transport ships to the inner side of Damocles Bend. Carry out a retaliatory strike against the aliens, with the God-Emperor above, you will win!"

After receiving this news, Zeratul felt like he was shadowwalking for the first time, suddenly entering the coldness of the ice cave.Finally!Tens of thousands of years later, Erda's words still came true!
"Humanity will eventually discover your species, it's just a matter of time."

The questions and answers asked nearly 1 years ago still seem to be in front of us, but fortunately the protoss are now well prepared, not as fragile as that time, and already capable and ready to fight humans.

But now he had to rush to Aiur to warn the Kalai Protoss Council. Thinking of this, he immediately got up and left his room. The two rows of dark templar warriors who had been standing at the door immediately followed him, and he walked to the temple. Said in front of the magic stick
"Get ready to leave immediately. We are going to Ayr to warn the Council!"

Technician Kalai nodded after hearing this and asked with some doubts.
"To warn what, Master?"

"To warn of a war coming!"

Zeratul hurriedly drove his Void Seeker to Aiur.

The dark purple ancient spaceship came here through the gate of the webway. A Nicasa sailboat immediately approached, and Zeratul quickly requested communication.Before he could speak, a respectful voice came from the other side.
"Dear Dark Priest, the Ancient Saint and the Speaker are waiting for you."

Zeratul was a little surprised when he heard this. How did the Ancient Sage know that he was coming?But when I think about the books I once read as a priest, I feel relieved. After all, the ancient sages are omniscient and omnipotent creatures, and they should know everything in the world.Thinking of this, he sent a reply to the other party

"I understand, then please lead the way."

Zeratul's Void Seekers then led them down to the great temple above Aiur.The spaceship stopped steadily on the tarmac of the temple. As soon as he got off the spacecraft, he saw Tassada who had been waiting beside him.Tassadar was seen wearing a gold robe that he didn't usually wear. He looked at Zeratul who was still wearing combat clothes and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You should have come here wearing something more presentable, Zeratul."

Zeratul sighed after hearing this and said

"What I usually do and I don't allow myself to wear fancy clothes is that they wear out too easily."

"But you still have to wear something for this occasion. Let's go. Rashagar has prepared your dress."

Zeratul walked beside Tassadar, heading towards the Great Pyramid.

"Tassada, are you so sure that that person must be the real Ancient Saint?"

"He was resurrected right in front of me, the Speaker of the Parliament, and Rashagal, so I chose to believe him." Zeratul shook his head after hearing this.

"I have been roaming in the galaxy for so many years and know the methods of subspace, so I must be on guard against it!"

"You will know the truth when you see it with your own eyes. Use your own eyes to tell your own answer, Zeratul!"

Tassadar and Zeratul entered the pyramid and came to an statue of an ancient saint.Zeratul looked around for a while, but saw no one else.
"Where are the rest of the people? Where are the Ancient Sages?"

Tassada snorted after hearing this, and stretched out his hand to slowly touch the statue of the ancient saint in front of him.Under the influence of powerful psychic energy, the huge golden statue of the ancient sage slowly rose upwards, finally revealing a space that could accommodate five or six people standing in together. Only then did Zeratul understand where their real destination was.

Tassadar introduced the place to Zeratul as the elevator descended.

"I'm sure there is no place in Aiur that is safer than this bunker, because this fortress is the original product of the ancient saints, and so is the entire temple. Even the high-energy beams of our flagship Purge battleship are difficult to damage. This building. Many of the buildings below were built according to the old sage's own preferences, at least so far he is quite satisfied with the environment here."

Zeratul sighed after hearing this.
"It seems that the protection work is in place, and there is really nothing to worry about."

The platform powered by psychic energy slowly stopped, and the golden door in front of it opened.To Zeratul's expectation, there was nothing splendid or primitive here. Instead, it looked like an experimental studio.

Data is constantly flowing on a large number of screens, and countless knowledge and numbers are beating and integrating. The data and numbers that are constantly beating on the computer are even difficult for him to accurately capture, which is amazing.On the far right, you can barely see that these calculators are serving a suspended ship above, and a young man who looks like a gem man is sitting on the chair next to him with his eyes closed, at a table next to him. Then sat three familiar people.The boy with sapphire-colored hair opened his eyes, saw Zeratul in front of him, and smiled.

This smile made Gray instantly different in Zeratul's eyes, because he only saw this kind of smile on the faces of one kind of people, the faces of biologists.It's like the smile of a scientist who wakes up after sleeping and sees a new life appearing in the petri dish that he has neglected for a long time.

Gray looked at the Shadow Priest, whom he had only seen in games, and said with a smile.

"Welcome, Zeratul. I'm sorry, it's a bit messy here. Please allow me a moment to adjust."

After saying that, the computer screens quickly retracted and merged into the wall, and then the hexagonal nanoplates began to flip rapidly.The walls turned into the mountains and woods in the distance, the ceiling turned into the sky, grass, flowers and even trees appeared on the ground, and the place where the other three people were sitting turned into a picnic spot.The most shocking thing was that Zeratul could clearly feel the touch of the grass around him and the feeling of the breeze, which shocked him.The same was true for the three people next to him, but Aldaris soon reacted and said excitedly

"Sure enough!"

Zeratul, who was confused, looked at Tassadar next to him and asked
"What's wrong? Tassada, explain."

Tassadar reacted from the shock and explained

"Actually, there was indeed an underground secret room here, but we thought it was an abandoned tomb. But in fact this is a research room, and in the ancient books we found that only the ancient sages could use it, and we also found another clue , it records that the Ancient Sage will eventually return in the future! You must have heard of that fairy tale, right?"

"But now it's clear that the fairy tale came true."

Zeratul was now completely relieved, and at the same time discovered a third person besides Aldaris and Rashagal.That was a very young protoss, so young that he looked only over 100 years old.

"Who is that child? Tassadar."

Hearing this, Tassada suddenly stood up straight, his blue eyes flashing, and said in a showy tone

"He? He is my apprentice, Artanis. The Ancient Saint personally invited him by name!"
