Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Just as Dominic embarked on the path to seek the Dragon, at the Brevis Governor's Mansion.

Lin En stood before the star map, watching the light dot representing Dominic's Hunting Squad move toward the depths of the Ice Plains.

Then it entered a no-signal zone, and the light dot disappeared.

"He really dares to go?" Lin En shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.

"What's he going there for?" Lena's voice rang out in his mind.

Then a pink Tearing Worm crawled out from his collar, lay on his shoulder, and looked at the star map curiously.

"Besides that food on the Ice Plains, there's nothing there at all."

"He's going to find the Frost Dragon." Lin En said.

"Frost Dragon?" The Tearing Worm tilted its head. "Isn't that just me? What does he want with me?"

"He wants to make you into a specimen and put you in his collection room." Lin En teased.

"What?!" The Tearing Worm instantly bristled, its little claws gripping Lin En's clothes tight.

"He dares, if he dares come, I'll eat him in one bite!"

"Hahaha." Lin En flicked its little head.

Watching Lena play along with his act, Lin En couldn't help but laugh.

"But we can't expose ourselves either. If he finds out the Frost Dragon is a Tyranid, we're all done for."

Lin En's brows knitted tightly.

Dominic's sudden action had completely disrupted his plans.

The Brevis Bug Race's main base was in the depths of the Ice Plains.

And Lena's main body was even sleeping in the Double Peak Mountain in the depths of the Ice Plains, with millions of Cold Soldiers hidden in caves all across the Ice Plains.

Although he had already ordered all obvious Bug Race traces cleaned up, there was no guarantee nothing was missed.

Moreover, the Silent Sister Ralph was certainly following Dominic.

A Silent Sister's perception of psychic energy is no less than any sharp detector

Must send someone to monitor Dominic's every move, at least know clearly what he has learned.

But who to send?

Lin En's fingers unconsciously toyed with his hair, his mind thinking rapidly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He thought of a person.

A person who absolutely would not be suspected by the Silent Sister, and had the ability to complete the surveillance mission.

"Lena, help me contact Sorin." Lin En said.

"Sorin? That Inquisitor?" The Tearing Worm's tone carried a trace of reluctance.

"What do you want her for?"

"Have her go monitor Dominic." Lin En said.

"She's an Inquisitor, her identity is solid enough; even if discovered, she has a reasonable excuse."

"And she has Eldar invisibility technology; the Silent Sister won't detect her."

"Oh......." The Tearing Worm agreed listlessly, but still agreed.

Ten minutes later, the Governor's Mansion's secret reception room.

Sorin Vimlot pushed open the door and walked in.

She still wore that signature slender Eldar light armor, silver long hair tied behind her head, red eyes bright as pomegranates.

Not seen for months, her temperament had grown even more cold and sharp, with a few more points of an Inquisitor's dignity.

"What do you want with me?" Sorin walked up to Lin En and asked straight to the point.

Her gaze fell on Lin En's face, carrying scrutiny, and a trace of hard-to-detect gentleness.

Ever since being bound by that strange system, she had been secretly observing Lin En.

She discovered that this "Tyranid Governor," though colluding with the Bug Race, everything he did was at least beneficial to Brevis and the people.

Compared to those sanctimonious Imperial Nobles and corrupt officials, Lin En was instead more like a true guardian of the Empire.

The Tribunal's creed is "For the Emperor, by any means."

Since Lin En could use the Bug Race's power to protect the Empire's planets, she didn't mind turning a blind eye.

After all, they themselves did the same.

"The Tithe Fleet has arrived; you should know, right." Lin En said.

"I know." Sorin nodded.

"Dominic Wenturia, Major General of Wenturia, and the Star Tongue Court's End Hunter Ralph — quite a luxurious lineup."

"Dominic is on the Ice Plains right now." Lin En said. "He's looking for the Frost Dragon."

Sorin's eyebrow quirked slightly: "Frost Dragon? That legend? He actually believes it?"

"Don't know if he believes it or not, but he's definitely gone to find it." Lin En spread his hands, somewhat speechless.

"You also know, the Ice Plains is 'their' territory. If he really finds something he shouldn't find, the consequences are unthinkable."

"So, you want me to monitor him?" Sorin looked at Lin En, the corner of her mouth curving into a faint smile.

"Yes." Lin En nodded.

"Your identity is the most suitable; an Inquisitor investigating anything on the planet appears perfectly reasonable."

"And your Eldar equipment can let you avoid being discovered by the Silent Sisters."

"A Wen Tu Li Ya noble, so young yet able to become a Navy Rear Admiral, and even receive the Black Ship Lady's personal protection."

Sorin's tone carried some teasing.

"I think he is far more 'loyal' than you, aren't you afraid I'll tell him your secret?"

Lin En's eyebrow wrinkled.

Seeing Lin En teased by her, Sorin raised her eyebrow somewhat proudly.

Lin En was just about to explain when he suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain from his sleeve cuff.

"Ah!" Lin En couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"What's wrong?" Sorin looked at him in puzzlement.

"No... nothing." Lin En smiled somewhat awkwardly, secretly soothing the Little Tearing Worm inside his cuff that was biting him.

He raised his head, looked at Sorin, and said seriously:

"I know you won't. You're different from those corrupt Inquisitors; what you truly care about is the Empire's safety."

"Brevis cannot fall into chaos; if Dominic discovers the Bug Race's existence, a Blood Battle will inevitably break out."

"By then, Brevis will become a piece of scorched earth, tens of billions will die; this isn't what you want to see."

Sorin looked at Lin En's serious eyes, silent for a few seconds.

Afterwards, she smiled.

"Alright, I'll help you."

Lin En froze; he hadn't expected Sorin to agree so readily.

Looking at Lin En's surprised appearance, Sorin's smile deepened:

"What, very unexpected? I was just teasing you a moment ago."

Lin En shook his head helplessly: "Indeed..."

"However, the word 'monitor' sounds too unpleasant." Sorin put away her smile and said seriously.

"I'm not helping you monitor him; I'm investigating Xenos that may appear on the Ice Plains."

"Incidentally, 'looking after' this Tax Collector's safety; after all, if something happens to him in Brevis, we all can't explain it away."

"Right, exactly like that." Lin En hurriedly nodded.

"If necessary, you can also provide him some help, for example, lead him away from those dangerous Areas."

"I know what to do." Sorin nodded, turned, and walked toward the doorway.

When she reached the doorway, she stopped her footsteps, turned back to look at Lin En once, and said meaningfully.

"Rest assured, I won't let him discover your little secret."

Finished speaking, she pushed open the door and disappeared into the corridor.

Lin En looked at the tightly shut door and let out a breath of relief.

The Tearing Worm poked its head out from the cuff and said angrily: "That woman, her smile is really annoying!"

"Haha, I think so too." Lin En rubbed its little head.

"But Sorin is our best choice right now; with her there, we can better grasp the situation on Dominic's side."

"Hmph!" The Tearing Worm hmphed, burrowed back into Lin En's cuff, and spoke no more.

Lin En walked to the star map again, looking at Dominic who had disappeared into the depths of the Ice Plains.

In his heart, there was still a faint unease.

Hope everything goes smoothly.
