Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 168 158. History should not be forgotten.

Time dripped down slowly and thickly like solidified asphalt, and the painful burning sensation dripped hard on the governor's heart.

Panicked, he didn't know what to say now, but the only thing he knew was that the other party could kill him at any time now.

Erda glared at the governor in front of him with a calm and terrifying look, and said

"Dear Governor Lang, I would like to state again that the Inquisition will never tolerate any betrayal or blasphemy against the great God-Emperor. What you have done over the past few decades includes but is not limited to:
Smuggling illegal items, illegally selling imperial military equipment and supplies, bribing local Ministry of Justice officials, human trafficking, and even...

Tolerate heretics! ! ! "

Words like ice came out of Erda's mouth. Listening to these charges, especially the last one, Ben felt that he would definitely die today.Although he holds the lives of hundreds of millions of people in his hands and is the master of hundreds of millions of people, he is as powerless as a civilian facing the judge.The Inquisition is the largest secret service agency in the Empire. Each Inquisitor has the power to execute planetary governor-level officials without obtaining sufficient evidence.Obviously, his life is estimated to be more than one episode in the eyes of the other party. Perhaps this judge of the Order of Foreigners no longer knows how much blood of people who are much nobler than him is on his hands.

Just when he closed his eyes in despair, preparing to wait for his death, he heard the sound of a weapon being raised.Opening his eyelids tremblingly, Ben found that the woman in front of him actually put the weapon in her hand back into her robe.Erda looked at the shocked governor and continued.

"Although you do deserve death according to the local law, now you have a chance to make amends."

After hearing what the other party said, Lang En quickly said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Please tell me, as long as I can atone for the God Emperor's sins, I am willing to do anything!"

Erda looked at the person in front of him, and continued
"My friend, you must understand my identity. I am a judge of the Alien Tribunal. According to the intelligence sent here, the possible problems here have changed from chaos to aliens, but I need to investigate here. , so I need a historical expert to help me investigate the ruins above.

If this matter is completed, then I can consider reporting your crime to the Inquisition, but you must understand that heresy will not be tolerated! "

"Understood! With the will of the God Emperor, I will definitely assist you in your work."

After seeing that the governor had completely believed in his identity, Erda said lightly

"Then, Mr. Governor, please prepare."

"At the same time, you should be thankful that the person who came was not a judge from the Heresy Tribunal."

After hearing the other party's cold-blooded and almost indifferent words, the Governor tried hard to control his tone and not reveal his fear.But his trembling body still exposed his timidity.But this is not surprising. It seems that there is no one in the empire who will not be scared to death when they meet the Inquisitor. Of course, if you are an Inquisitor, then you are outside this ranks.

Of course, the lunatics of the Inquisition will also attack each other to earn more status or more honors, so it is not uncommon for two groups of Inquisitors to fight each other while performing a mission.

The governor looked at the judge in front of him and dialed the number tremblingly, wanting to notify the scholars below. Of course he did not dare to notify PDF. If he did, PDF would point the gun at him without hesitation. Who else in the Empire would be stupid enough to make an enemy of the Inquisitor?

But before he dialed the phone, there were heavy footsteps downstairs. After Erda heard the sound, he also cautiously touched the weapon in his robe. Mr. Governor didn't know what happened and panicked. looking around.

The door in front of her was suddenly pushed open, and just when Erda was about to draw her weapon, a girl wearing a brown jacket, jeans, and a beret suddenly broke in and said with a laugh.
"Father! Where is that rogue trader?"

The governor almost choked when he heard the other party's voice. Fortunately, the judge in front of him seemed to understand that the other party was not a threat, and returned to his friendly appearance a few minutes ago.The girl looked to be in her teens, maybe less than 20 years old. She had short brown hair hanging down by her ears, her brown eyes were shining with a thirst for knowledge, and she was holding a thick notebook on her chest, as if There are also a lot of comments and bookmarks in it.

Before the governor could say anything, Erda took the lead and looked at the girl with a smile and said

"Hello, little girl, you can call me Erda. I am the Rogue Trader you are looking for."

"Is that you? Great!"

The little girl in front of me heard that, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't wait to come forward and ask

"Excuse me, I want to know about some of the things you saw on your journey, okay?" "That's no problem, just ask whatever you want..."

The governor watched with fear as his daughter chatted and laughed beside the demon and asked questions. He felt like his heart was about to be lifted up, for fear that those legendary and moody judges would do something.

Fortunately, nothing happened. The other party talked to his daughter very gently. It is estimated that this incident will be over soon...

"By the way, Mr. Ben, I heard that your daughter has done a lot of research on history, right?"

After hearing these words, Ben's originally relieved heart lifted up again, and what's even more worrying is that the girl in front of him didn't seem to understand what was going to happen next, but instead said this
"Yes, if you are willing, you can go to my studio downstairs and have a look. There are many ancient items there. I also hope that a knowledgeable traveler can give me better suggestions."

After hearing this, Erda finally couldn't help but smile. This idea of ​​a lady is indeed pure enough.She looked up at the Governor who was out of breath and said with a smile

"Your daughter is really pure, Mr. Governor, which is fatal in this universe."

"Ugh?"

The little girl showed a puzzled expression after hearing this. The governor did not respond to the businessman's words, but returned with a smile.
"Of course, but there's nothing to see in my daughter's room, it's just a hobby..."

"It's okay. I'm happy to visit the young lady's collection. Take me down, kid."

After the girl heard what the other party said, although she didn't understand the meaning of the first half of what she just said, at least the other party was willing to talk to her.

"Thank you, by the way, my name is Marcus, Marcus Hammer."

"Got it, Marcus, now let's go take a look."

After hearing this, the governor had no choice but to ask his daughter to take the dangerous inquisitor in front of him to see his collection.

Marcus led Erda to the "basement" of the Governor's Mansion. When she turned on the light, Erda was a little shocked for a moment, because this place did not look like a museum as she imagined, but rather like a In the library, some smaller items are placed on both sides of the exquisitely crafted bookshelves.

This place reminded her a little of the big library below Ayer, which made her a little confused whether the girl in front of her was a writer or a historian.

After seeing the other party's doubts, Marcus explained with a smile:

“Actually, I used to like those ancient objects as much as others, but during the process of collecting, I discovered that people seemed to really want those ancient objects that represented history to be taken away.

Later I understood why they wanted to do this.Because people in the empire don't want to remember history. In their eyes, history represents the suffering of the past, and everyone wants to forget history. "

After hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared on Erda's face. She understood very well why humans wanted to forget so many things in this dark galaxy, and no one wanted to remember the pain of the past.The girl in front then continued
"I can understand their feelings, but I don't think this is the right choice. It is an unwise choice for us to choose to escape or degenerate to forget the suffering. We must face the past history.

But I don’t have the ability to collect so many historical objects. I can only write down the story and history of each ancient object through my own hands and books. At the same time, I understand what happened in the past and write them together with the history of the objects. books. "

"Did you write every book yourself?"

"Yes, so many books do make me very tired, but every time I think that there is so much history that has not been recorded and is about to disappear from people's memory, I feel very uncomfortable, because history should not be forgotten, If you forget the suffering of the past, you will only repeat it in the future.

Humanity cannot be like this. If we forget history and repeat the same mistakes, we will only get closer and closer to the abyss of destruction. "
