Chapter 53 Tipping off

Chen Xue walked towards Fu Qinghai.

Only then did Fu Qinghai realize that the woman had changed her look again.

A black thin windbreaker and a suit jacket, with a simple turtleneck sweater of the same color, black short leather pants, and mid-cut Martin boots...

The most important thing is the two long legs in black stockings under the little leather skirt!

It's black silk...

Fu Qinghai was beyond belief.

Where did this woman get so many fashions? Did she use all her assimilation points to assimilate clothes?

Her hairstyle also changed from long wavy hair to short, lazy French curls that just reach the chin.

Can you change your hairstyle on a battleship?

Fu Qinghai touched his hair and thought that the closest he had ever come to changing his hairstyle was when he was on the Dagger, when Ogedei asked Fu Qinghai if he wanted to have a Chogris tribal topknot like his, that is, a Ronaldo-style Afu hairstyle.

I was rejected by Fu Qinghai, who said that his short and messy hair was fine, but Khan, I can't handle your wild hairstyle.

Fu Qinghai watched Chen Xue walking briskly towards him and thought to himself, you women are really interesting. There's a war going on here, but it doesn't affect your daily changing of clothes.

Fu Qinghai and Gult stood up to say goodbye, walked up to Chen Xue and asked,

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xue said: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Chen Xue turned around, the hem of her windbreaker drew a circle in the air, and a faint fragrant breeze blew across Fu Qinghai's nose.

A familiar scent.

Fu Qinghai followed Chen Xue out of the restaurant and walked side by side in the corridor.

Fu Qinghai asked curiously: "How did you change your hairstyle?"

I was thinking to myself, don't tell me that you have assimilated a series of perming and dyeing tools such as scissors, clippers, curling irons, etc.

Chen Xue said: "It's the robot servant that my family assigned to me. He has all the makeup and styling tools installed on him."

I see.

Fu Qinghai asked again: "Where are we going?"

This is not the way to your cabin.

"Go to my room. I have something important to discuss with you."

Fu Qinghai nodded and followed Chen Xue to the lower deck where the narrators and ordinary crew members lived.

There were crew members and maintenance workers in uniforms and work clothes coming and going, and they were all surprised to see a tall Astartes coming.

Chen Xue opened a cabin door and Fu Qinghai bent down and went in.

Chen Xue said casually, "I can only live here, but Barbara and her two bodyguards can live in the suite on the upper deck. This is the gap between the two families, and it's also the reason why she looks down on me. It's quite ridiculous, isn't it?"

Fu Qinghai was not interested in the fight between the two women, so he turned around and closed the cabin door.

Inside was a room that was much smaller than Fu Qinghai's rest cabin, and was filled with a woman's scent.

It's the smell of body odor mixed with various cosmetics and skin care products.

I haven't smelled this scent for a long time.

This gave Fu Qinghai, whose nose had become accustomed to the smell of gun maintenance oil, gunpowder smoke and blood, a shock.

Chen Xue said: "Uh, it's a bit messy, sit anywhere you want."

Fu Qinghai found a table to lean against and asked,

"What happened? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Chen Xue pulled away a black cloth covering the table, revealing a round crystal ball underneath.

A translucent gray crystal ball, about the size of a baby's head, is resting on a jade base carved into the shape of a winding vine.

Chen Xue asked: "Do you know what this is?"

Fu Qinghai thought to himself, how would I know what it is? This thing appears in all wizard movies involving magic and divination. I would believe you if you said it was a Christmas crystal ball that would make snow fall when turned upside down.

Fu Qinghai shook his head: "I don't know."

Chen Xue said: "This is the Palantir crystal, also known as the crystal of true knowledge, from Middle-earth."

"Oh..." Fu Qinghai remembered.

In the movie, Saruman the White and the Dark Lord Sauron used this thing to communicate, and Denethor II, the Regent of Gondor, also used another Paladin kept in the Holy White City of Minas Tirith to gather intelligence from the outside world.

Fu Qinghai quickly realized the crux of the matter: "You can use this thing to communicate with the outside world? I mean, this thing also works in the Warhammer 40K universe?"

It's not like you can communicate with other reincarnations on the battleship just by bringing a cell phone, a pager or any other communication equipment.

The cruiser was traveling in the vast universe, with distances measured in light years. There were no satellites, no base stations, no signal relay stations. Any communication equipment on Earth was useless in the universe. Even the entire Moon-class cruiser could only rely on the few words of one or two astropaths to communicate with other Extreme Marine fleets.

Chen Xue said seriously,

"Don't underestimate it. This is a divine artifact. It was created accidentally by the elf craftsman Feanor using the light of the Two Sacred Trees. Feanor is the elf who created the Silmaril. Do you understand?"

Although Fu Qinghai didn't know who Fëanor was, he understood as soon as Chen Xue mentioned the Silmaril.

The Silmaril, the first artifact in The Lord of the Rings, is even more powerful than the One Ring.

Since it was the work of the elf craftsman who created the Silmaril, it is naturally of artifact level.

As expected, when physical communication doesn't work, we have to rely on the power of magic.

Fu Qinghai immediately realized the great strategic value of this crystal ball. Chen Xue, who possessed the crystal of true knowledge, was the only person on the ship besides the astropath who could communicate with the outside world.

Fu Qinghai immediately asked: "Who is it connected to on the other end?"

"It's my sister." Chen Xue replied.

"You have a sister?"

"My cousin is also a reincarnation. We entered the reincarnation world at about the same time. We supported each other and went on adventures together. However, in the last reincarnation world, she and I parted ways."

When Chen Xue said this, a flash of pain appeared on her face.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fu Qinghai saw that she seemed unwilling to talk more about this matter, but Chen Xue had already displayed such an important treasure to him, so it was obviously a big deal, so Fu Qinghai still urged:

"And then?"

"She is also a magician. She once studied with me in Kamar-Taj. A lot of things happened later... Anyway, we separated. This time we entered the Warhammer 40K world together, but she chose a different camp than me. I have been staying on the Sothalan until just now. She suddenly contacted me and told me that she had contacted the four immortal supreme magic gods who were comparable to Vishanti..."

Chen Xue stared into Fu Qinghai's eyes and said word by word:

"Tell me, are the 'Four Immortal Supreme Magic Gods' she mentioned the Four Chaos Gods of Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle and Tzeentch that you mentioned?"

Fu Qinghai asked back, "Who is Weishandi?"

Chen Xue said: "Vishanti is not a single person. He is a trinity of gods consisting of Osit, Hogs, and Agamotto. He is the god of white magic and the source of magic power for all Marvel Kamar-Taj magicians."

Fu Qinghai heard a key word, Agamotto.

In the movie, the green eye-like gem on Doctor Strange's waist is a magical artifact that can reverse time.

It's called the Eye of Agamotto.

Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and said, "An existence that can be compared to Emperor Vishan... The Four Chaos Gods can indeed do so."

Chen Xue sighed and said, "That's them."

Fu Qinghai then asked: "What did she say to the Four Chaos Gods? Or what did the Four Chaos Gods say to her? How can she talk to the Four Gods? I can't figure it out. This doesn't make sense. Those four beings usually only pay attention to the most powerful people among humans. Is your cousin powerful enough to attract the attention of the Four Gods?"

Chen Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. Her strength level was about the same as mine before we parted ways. We entered the Warhammer 40K world at the same time. It's impossible for her strength to improve by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time."

"But she has already told me the method of communicating with the Four Gods in the Crystal of Truth. She encouraged and instigated me to try to contact them using this method..."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes: "What method?"

"Souls leave the body as the ship travels through the warp."

"Tsk..." Fu Qinghai clicked his tongue.

I see.

It's that simple.

That's all?

Seeing that Fu Qinghai was silent, Chen Xue thought that he didn't understand what she meant, so she explained: "In the magic system of the Supreme Mage, there is a move that can make your own or other people's souls leave the body."

Fu Qinghai nodded: "I know, Doctor Strange and Ancient One both used it in the movie."

But that's not the point.

There was always something wrong with the logic of Chen Xue's cousin's statement that made Fu Qinghai feel uneasy.

Yes, out-of-body spell is from the Marvel Universe, and Warhammer 40K wizards may have never used it before. Perhaps it is a brand new spell for the Warhammer 40K universe, but this is not and should not be the reason why Chen Xue, the magician cousin, can communicate directly with the Four Gods of Chaos.

Those are the Chaos Gods!

They only care about Primarchs like Horus, Fulgrim, and Angron. How could they ever pay attention to a mortal wizard?

There must be some reason for the four gods to do this... Fu Qinghai thought secretly.

But he is not clear about the reason yet.

Ignoring the confusion, Fu Qinghai looked at Chen Xue and said,

"Go on."

"She told me that before the Sotharan entered the next warp jump point, the space hulk she was on would emerge from the warp, intercept the Sotharan, and destroy it. She advised me to leave the cruiser and not disintegrate in space with the battleship."

"Wait a minute." Fu Qinghai keenly grasped a key point, "I don't know how you communicated through the crystal of true knowledge. Did she really say the words 'Sosalan'?"

"The crystal of true knowledge doesn't communicate by speaking. Instead, the two people holding the crystal ball can sense each other's thoughts. But I'm sure she said these words."

Chen Xue's cousin clearly mentioned "Sosalan".

"This even mentions names..." Fu Qinghai rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

What kind of outrageous thing did the Sothalan do to make the Chaos Four Peddlers so concerned about it?

...

　I wanted to finish writing 7,000 to 8,000 words in one go, but it's too late now, so I'll just upload it. You can read the second chapter tomorrow.
