Instead, it was an access port to a large database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here, the only one qualified to access this database was one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A skull that appeared to be equipped with anti-gravity devices floated in front of the memory’s owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull had undergone many modifications, its eyes emitting a red light that scanned the entire body of the memory’s owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, as if having completed identity verification, it drifted away on its own, hovering above the candlelight beside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the gate before them opened with a rumbling ’boom’ after the skull settled into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann wanted to see who the owner of the memory was about to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the man humbly lowered his head the moment the gate opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This increased the young viewer’s anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could clearly feel the owner of the memory was self-confident and proud, yet at this moment, he was sincerely humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking forward with head lowered, Lann could catch through the peripheral of memory’s view that it was a vast circular room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intricate decorative style remained as always, but retained a researcher’s orderliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glowing columnar cultivation chambers were neatly arrayed along the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory’s owner took a few steps forward, stepping onto a circular platform, and then half-kneeling directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the robust body, the act of kneeling was as light and swift as a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This precision control of the body was akin to art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Lann could marvel, a massive, enormous shadow crept slowly across the floor in the lowered field of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dome inside the room was very high, outfitted with stained glass, allowing light to pass through and evoke a sense of sanctity, as if being in a cathedral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under this holy lighting, the ’thing’ casting the enormous shadow spoke from on high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lift your head, Neville. Today, you will face me directly, from start to finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded as if it came from an old, antiquated audio device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though the voice was so loud, not clear, and condescending, the owner of the memory still fully obeyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ’Warrior’ named Neville raised his head, and then... Lann saw a ’monster’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a nightmare-like amalgamation clad in a heavy red robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive body seemed to have undergone countless repairs and replacements, to the extent that the evidently oversized red robe couldn’t conceal its monstrously gigantic body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous mechanical legs poked out slightly from the hem of the red robe, making it resemble a creature with an enormous bloated worm-like lower half and an upper half barely maintaining human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The accumulation of mechanics was so colossal that Neville’s body still needed to strain to look up before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded Lann of the faux mountain sculpture a renowned alumni gifted to his high school alma mater back in his hometown world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high school student then, he stood before the multimillion-dollar faux mountain just like Neville now stood before this ’thing’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the least dull of this batch, of course, I mean in the field of biochemistry. You could even assist me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous figure said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann sensed a swell of pride surfacing almost immediately within Neville’s consciousness, as if such a begrudging praise was already the highest honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your guidance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Interstellar Warrior originally wanted to lower his head in salute, but he immediately recalled the previous command, thus not a single twitch occurred in the muscle bundles on his neck, let alone looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang- clang-\" The massive figure tapped the ground with something hard to determine if a staff or a large axe, causing a loud clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this summoning of you is not because of your shallow knowledge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the red robe, the densely packed mechanical legs lightly shifted under electronic signals, emitting a gentle rustling against the red fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been performing surgeries independently for a while now, how is the progress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville still did not comprehend why he was summoned, but he nonetheless answered unreservedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been independently conducting Primaris surgery for twenty Terran years, and so far, one hundred ninety-seven new recruits have become honored Primaris Marines on my surgical table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, in terms of skill level alone, I am fully capable of being a Chapter’s Apothecary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville confidently introduced his knowledge level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case...\" The enormous silhouette said noncommittally from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the voice like a mechanical speaker lacked emotion, Lann felt that was exactly the tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I shall uphold that supremely noble will and introduce myself to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Neville and Lann felt a wave of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the emotion could reflect in the body, the next command ensued promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand up, Neville.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Interstellar Warrior’s instinct made the memory’s owner comply without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazement still echoed in his mind, but this did not impede him from standing at attention immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering, rust-red hooded head leaned down from high above, drawing near Neville’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the Marine’s eyes, Lann saw that beneath the hood was an almost completely mechanized head, with only a small uncertain amount of biomaterial skin remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the position of the right eye, a laser lens adjusted focus constantly as if to scrutinize Neville inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann could even smell the scent of machine oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this Interstellar Warrior, or now called Primaris Space Marine, someone this guy trained?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he now going to introduce himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And... ’that supremely noble will’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Human Empire, only one can be addressed by that honorific...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Empire has not been overturned across ten thousand years, then surely it is that... ’Emperor’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the command was executing that ’supremely noble will’, even the ancient speaker-like voice now exhibited utmost solemnity and dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Dominus Belisarius Kao.
