Chapter 260

This old bastard...

Zhou Yun looked at the old farseer Eldrad Ulthran, his expression twitching slightly.

Worthy of being the most notorious Aeldari farseer.

Zhou Yun looked at his old face and gently reached out to press the deerstalker cap on his head.

This hat-shaped gadget made Zhou Yun's mind much clearer, and at the same time, the portable pyramid under the hat also released imperceptible light, strengthening Zhou Yun's brain.

Then Zhou Yun glanced at Greyfax, signaling her to appear.

"Alien."

Greyfax's voice carried hatred:

"I advise my colleagues: you are profane filth unworthy of trust, a group of arrogant peacocks and fallen daemons."

"You are unworthy of trust. Death, and then having your soul fall into the curse of the Dark Gods, is the end you deserve."

"But your flowery words deceived us, making us believe you came for cooperation and negotiation."

"And then? What did we get? An assassin? A clown?"

Greyfax's finger pointed at Sylandri Veilwalker, who was tied to the ground.

Veilwalker raised her head slightly.

"Hi." She greeted Eldrad Ulthran and Yvraine in a light tone.

The expressions of the two leaders of the Aeldari Ynnari twitched slightly.

They clearly didn't expect that Sylandri Veilwalker had actually overturned and been captured by the human expeditionary force.

"I know you hate me, and you have sufficient reasons to do so."

Eldrad Ulthran organized his language in a short time:

"After the birth of the Hunger God, many of my kin fell. They forgot their former glory and became robbers, pirates, and sadists."

"They committed many mistakes, making the relationship between our two races tense."

"But just as there are a million different civilizations on your million worlds, as a broken and displaced nation, we also have different cultures and beliefs within us."

"For example, Sylandri Veilwalker serves the Laughing God Cegorach, while the Lady Yvraine beside me is the Chosen of the God of Death Ynnead."

Speaking of this, Eldrad Ulthran pointed his finger at Sylandri Veilwalker, who was lying on the ground.

"It must have been Cegorach who instigated her to do it!"

"Lady Yvraine and I know nothing!"

"Huh?" Sylandri Veilwalker twisted her body, seemingly shocked by the shamelessness of this old bastard Eldrad Ulthran.

Before Sylandri Veilwalker could protest, Eldrad Ulthran stood up and bowed to everyone in the expeditionary force with impeccable human etiquette.

"I have not introduced myself yet; perhaps you still have misunderstandings about me."

"I am the Aeldari farseer Eldrad Ulthran, the Elder, the Far-Seer, the Chief Supreme Farseer."

"I am the enemy of the secret cult, and also an old acquaintance of the human Hua Hua Hua Di Huang."

"I have witnessed humanity sinking in the Age of Strife, and I have also witnessed the human Hua Hua Hua Di Huang rising from Terra."

"I have been an enemy of the fallen Fulgrim, and I have also guided the Fire Dragon Vulkan to return to Terra and gained his friendship."

"I am different from my arrogant colleagues; my long life has allowed me to see a fact..."

"... Humanity is the vanguard of the galaxy against the Great Enemy of Chaos. Only by the coexistence and mutual assistance of humanity and the Aeldari can we survive!"

Saying this, Eldrad Ulthran cast his gaze toward the expeditionary force before him again:

"I know your true destination and am willing to help you complete your pilgrimage!"

For a time, everyone in the expeditionary force looked at each other.

An Aeldari actually claimed to want to cooperate closely with humans, and also claimed that he had friendship with the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and the Primarchs. This was simply...

"It was he who released a group of Harlequins into the Imperial Palace during the War of the Beast in the 32nd millennium, killing many mortal guards and several Custodians, almost reaching the Golden Wang Zuo behind the Eternity Gate."

Just at this moment, Zhou Yun suddenly said leisurely.

The atmosphere in the air dropped to freezing point in an instant.

During the War of the Beast in the 32nd millennium, a war that surrounded the entire Terra, the Imperial Palace of the human Empire was suddenly attacked by a group of unexpected enemies.

A group of Aeldari Harlequins appeared inexplicably, shouting about friendship while killing their way through the palace's defenses, almost reaching the Golden Wang Zuo...

Then this group of Harlequins told the Assassinorum Grand Master Vangorich:

"Although the Ork Attack Moon has reached the gates of Terra, Chaos is the true threat."

"Don't worry about the Orks, hurry up and use all your power to fight Chaos!"

This inexplicable behavior was instigated by Eldrad Ulthran.

Eldrad Ulthran choked for an instant, muttering something in his mouth like "This is to let you see the true threat!", "This is a reminder!", "How can the threat of Orks be compared to Chaos!"

Listening to Eldrad Ulthran's muttering, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Zhou Yun's mouth:

"Eldrad Ulthran, your plans haven't actually changed much in ten thousand years."

"You do believe that humanity is the necessary power to resist Chaos, but this is not for the sake of cooperation and win-win between humanity and the Aeldari."

"Your purpose is just to let humanity attract the attention of the Chaos Gods and serve as a shield for the Aeldari."

Humans and Aeldari are like two wounded beasts. Humans have lighter injuries, and Aeldari have heavier injuries.

They are both hiding in the grass, wary of each other, and avoiding the threats in the darkness.

However, the Aeldari hope that humans will jump out of their grass and attract the attention of the threats in the darkness.

"Don't disguise exploitation as your uncompensated and well-intentioned assistance." Zhou Yun reminded in a low voice.

Eldrad Ulthran closed his mouth and cast his gaze on Yvraine beside him.

"We will pay the price."

Yvraine spoke softly, her voice hollow and cold like death itself:

"Shall we talk now?"

Zhou Yun saw the Aeldari make a concession and heaved a slight sigh of relief.

"No, of course not now." Zhou Yun smiled and said:

"Extracting benefits from the Aeldari is an extremely complex matter; it won't be negotiated in a short while."

Zhou Yun knew there was a more suitable candidate to complete this work, and that person was lying in the stasis field on Macragge.

Yvraine shifted her gaze and looked at Zhou Yun again: "Since we have reached cooperation, can you please release Sylandri Veilwalker?"

"... That won't do."

Zhou Yun pulled the nanomachine rope in his hand slightly, and the rope tightened around Veilwalker's body:

"We reached cooperation, what does that have to do with her?"

"Didn't you say that Cegorach instigated her to act?"

Yvraine opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.

This was what Eldrad Ulthran had just said himself.

Sylandri Veilwalker was instigated by Cegorach, and it had nothing to do with them!

"What do you want to do?" Yvraine took a deep breath and asked.

"Let Cegorach come to redeem her in person." Zhou Yun said with an unchanging expression.

Yvraine's expression couldn't hold up.

Today's Cegorach hides in the depths of the Webway, the Black Library, and almost never takes half a step out.

This is because the Hunger God has always longed to completely devour the Aeldari pantheon.

As long as Cegorach dares to step out of the Webway, the Hunger God will quickly find him.

By then, Cegorach won't be able to laugh anymore.

So Cegorach couldn't leave the Webway and come to Zhou Yun's front to redeem someone.

In fact, Zhou Yun also knew this.

But Zhou Yun also knew that the Laughing God wouldn't abandon Sylandri Veilwalker.

Although the Laughing God is a clown god, He is unexpectedly reliable and cares about the Aeldari.

Among the Harlequins, there is a unique member called the Solitaire.

The Solitaire's power is unusually strong. This is because they made a great sacrifice, playing the Dark Prince Slaanesh himself in a play, and their souls are therefore locked by Slaanesh, eventually to be devoured by Slaanesh.

But Cegorach will risk it, using tricks and conspiracies to try to cheat the Solitaire's soul back from Slaanesh.

Of course, the success rate of doing this is not high.

Zhou Yun didn't expect Cegorach to leave the Black Library.

What he hoped for was that Cegorach would invite him into the Black Library.

As long as he went in once, Zhou Yun could enter and exit that treasure house of knowledge at will through the Anywhere Door.

Yvraine sensed the expression of refusal to retreat on Zhou Yun's face.

She sighed slightly.

"I will have the Harlequins bring your request to the Laughing God."

"But we cannot delay time here, waiting for a response."

Zhou Yun heard Yvraine's words and nodded slightly: "Then let us set off for where we should go."

This sentence made the spirits of everyone present lift slightly.

Especially Greyfax and Leina.

They still didn't know where the destination of this journey was.

"The cargo you are escorting contains hope."

Yvraine spoke softly:

"He will bring back a great power that you humans once possessed."

"That power will counter the tentacles of the Ruinous Powers and reverse the invasion of the Dark Gods."

"That will be your hope, and it will also be our hope."

"For this, the Webway Gate will be opened for you."

Speaking of this, Yvraine paused slightly.

She said the goal of this trip.

The place that both the Ynnari and the human expeditionary force must go to.

"The place where the wind and clouds meet, Macragge."
