Chapter 126: The Purpose of the Craftworld Aeldari of Sam-Han

Traina System, capital city Traina.

After Ninglu listened to Howard's process and situation regarding the conquest of the two systems, he turned his attention to the Eldar captives.

"Eldar captives, what information has been extracted from them so far?"

"Father, ever since they were captured, no matter how we interrogate them, they say nothing. As of now, we have not obtained any information."

Howard said, operating a Data Slate to display the footage of the ambush and interrogation.

Ninglu noticed in the ambush footage that over a dozen red-armored warriors sitting in streamlined vehicles were speeding toward them.

The red vehicles had blade-like wings extending from both sides of their underbellies.

His gaze was immediately drawn to the flying motorcycles and the white emblem on the Eldar faceplates; that serpentine shape was not a common snake from Old Terra, but the Cosmic Serpent from ancient Eldar mythology.

Red armor, Windrider motorcycles, Cosmic Serpent emblem.

Sam-Han Craftworld Aeldari?

Ninglu knew that in ancient Eldar mythology, the snake was considered the only creature that existed simultaneously in both the material realm and the spirit world.

It is said that the snake knows all secrets of the past and present; Sam-Han means "seeking enlightenment," and in the ancient Eldar lexicon, the words for snake and secret knowledge are the same, both described by the word "Saim."

Therefore, they use the snake as their emblem, which they proudly emblazon on their motorcycles, Eldar tanks, and aircraft.

After Ninglu confirmed the Eldar were from Sam-Han, he could not help but feel suspicious.

【Sam-Han mainly operates in the Segmentum Pacificus on the western side of the galaxy; why would they come to the Obscurus Sector?】

"Take me to see those captives."

Ninglu spoke, and the Arbiter Lord led him toward the prison.

He named himself after the Sequence 9 "Arbiter," and the warriors of the First Chapter have golden scales painted on their right pauldrons.

On the way, Howard spoke up.

"The Techmarine designed specialized shackles to restrain the Eldar, which use Anti-Psychic Material and also include a function to suppress their cellular activity."

Ninglu looked at them through the glass of the Imprisonment chamber.

The six tall Eldar had their faceplates removed, revealing their pointed chins and pointed ears.

Their postures and gestures all exuded a disturbing beauty and an alluring alien quality; it was the peculiar atmosphere unique to the Aeldari.

Ninglu's pupils constricted, and his consciousness spread toward the six Eldar.

Hiss!

Before his consciousness could even touch the red gate, he heard a sound like the hissing of a great serpent.

Ninglu also felt a black chain coiled around the gate.

He knew that was the blocking effect of the Anti-Psychic Material added to the shackles.

Ninglu did not let Howard remove the shackles to give the Eldar a chance; black and white light emerged in his eyes, and with psychic power attached to his consciousness, he slipped through the gaps in the chains.

The six Eldar's innate keen senses allowed them to feel simultaneously as if a black hand were reaching toward them.

They turned their heads in unison to look toward the direction of the glass.

The window was a one-way mirror; the Eldar's naturally sharp eyes still saw only a blur, and they only vaguely sensed a powerful consciousness—a consciousness even stronger than a Farseer.

It was like a giant black palm, and also like a black ocean.

They knew that a powerful psyker was prying into their minds.

The six Eldar hurriedly used their unique Eldar Mind State techniques to construct mental defenses.

After Ninglu broke through the chains, he immediately felt the red gate grow thicker and larger.

A certain light shone from the Primarch, and his consciousness, like a black spear, thrust toward the red gate.

Invisible ripples surged, and blood flowed from the ears and mouths of the six Eldar.

The Order Shadows, who inherited their Gene-Father's keen perception, felt something at the same time; they sensed a confrontation unfolding in the non-material world, and the winner was the Primarch.

Ninglu's consciousness seeped into the minds of the six Eldar simultaneously; inside their minds was a world more complex and colorful than that of humans.

Their keen perception was not just about sharper senses, but also on a mental level.

The Primarch found an identical image in the mental ocean of the six Eldar.

An Eldar holding a strange staff; its top was triangular, with a horizontal bar crossing the middle, and the lower part looked like two branches of a tree.

He had deep eyes and spoke in the Eldar language.

"The Fate Silk has changed; we must go and find out the reason."

When the Farseer spoke, his tone was profound, as if coming from another world.

Ninglu followed the captured mental image to continue his search.

He saw these Eldar go to the Jingjie Star and look thoughtful.

【The Jingjie Star is crucial in the prophecies of the Sam-Han Farseers; this is the reason why that Farseer came here.】

Subsequently, Ninglu saw the six Eldar being dispatched to the Trainer system to investigate.

Having no further discoveries, he withdrew from the minds of the six Eldar and said to Howard.

"Come see me in my office in fifteen minutes."

Ninglu then went to the temporary office prepared for him by the Arbiter Lord to go to the "Kingdom of Disorder."

He first arrived at the third level.

The space ape cub had grown rapidly and was now as large as its adult kin.

As soon as Ninglu saw it, he felt a connection of a mystical nature between the space ape before him and himself; within his spirituality, this feeling was clearly perceptible.

He came to the side of the space ape and gripped its shoulder, the touch being the soft sensation of orange-red fur.

The next instant, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the Diyiceng Kongjian.

After retrieving the Potion Material for the "Interrogator," he sent the Potion Formula, including the Potion Material and the shape, to the space ape.

"Prepare this potion."

Seeing the space ape pick up the materials and climb onto the furnace, Ninglu pondered to himself.

【It is safe for the space ape to concoct the Potion; the "backdoor" that mixes biological genes and psychic technology can only be opened by the Old Ones.

In the mythology of the Hrud, the last Old One, named Kua, left the galaxy five hundred thousand years ago,

and he fled to another dimension that cannot be observed, continuing to create new races using materials of plastic, resin, and paint.

Even if he were to return to the galaxy, he would not have the ability to reach his claws into the "Kingdom of Disorder".】

Ninglu had already decided that the space apes dedicated to concocting Potions would never be let outside again once they entered the "Kingdom of Disorder", and no one would have the opportunity to pull any tricks.

A moment later, Ninglu obtained the white and gold mixed gelatinous "Inquisitor" Potion.

Returning to the real world, a moment later, Howard entered the private office and took the potion from his hand.

Knowing that he had received a new gift, he tilted his head back and drank it directly, his eyes flashing with lightning-like brilliance.

After the "Inquisitor" restrained the overflowing power of the Potion, he bowed and said.

"I will certainly make good use of the power you have bestowed upon me to pry open the mouths of the Eldar."

"Their arrival here is related to the Jingjie Star on the south side of the Trainer system on the Star Map; find a way to locate it and control that world."

Ninglu knew that the Jingjie Star not only contained Blackstone and had special strategic significance for curbing Chaos, but also held many good things.

The Fortress-class Energy Shield STC that could cover an entire Hive City and provide protection, and the legacy of the "Dark Age of Technology" in the Vigilant Fortress—the doomsday weapon "Void Claw"...

The Soul-Snatching Star, a satellite of the Jingjie Star, was also a world rich in abundant mineral resources.

For this reason, even a war with Sam-Han would be worth it.

"Besides this, you are to arrange for Techmarines to study the Eldar motorcycles and improve our own."

The Imperium during the "Great Crusade", although still in possession of low-altitude anti-gravity technology used on motorcycles, had a huge gap compared to those of the Eldar.

The stylish and elegant motorcycles of the Eldar could possess agile maneuverability while traveling at high speeds, which surprised and envied the Tech-priests.

Sam-Han was especially famous for its Windrider motorcycles; every Eldar was a Windrider pilot, even the Farseers who would not use such vehicles on other Craftworlds were no exception.

After Howard left to carry out the order, Ninglu received a report from an Astropath that they had received an order from the Bucephalus, from the Emperor himself.
