N-A-A Chapter 81 Speculation
Chapter 81 Speculation
"My lord Archmage, has Conrad Coz simply left like that?"
After a long while, Li Wei regained his senses and stopped thinking about those strange fragments of the future.
He was more curious about Conrad Coates's intentions: was the other party really just going to give him a bunch of future images? Because he had already fallen into a coma and had no memory of what happened afterward.
He was a little curious whether Conrad Coates was really just trying to instill a warning about the future in him.
Hearing Li Wei's curious question, Magnus fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly spoke:
"Conrad Coates did say something strange before he left, but I can't understand it. He said he couldn't see the future, but the future was already decided long ago."
At this point, Magnus's amber eyes turned strange, and he said awkwardly:
"Conrad Kurtz's last words were, 'The Emperor, he's a fool. In order to change the future, he deliberately introduced a variable, changed the world...'"
Magnus continued, and Li Wei, who had been listening quietly, had long since changed from calm to strange, and finally his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Li Wei was startled and almost lost his composure. He suddenly realized something.
Is my time travel really okay?
Or is it that my journey from the Wizarding World to the Warhammer Universe was truly just a random choice by the Wizarding World's Nexus?
Do not!
Does the wizarding world I first traveled to really exist?
Lost in his thoughts, Li Wei slapped his forehead, trying to recall his memories of the wizarding world.
He always felt as if there was a hazy mist, and he couldn't remember clearly.
Is all of that true?
Lost in thought, Li Wei suddenly realized another possibility: was the previously departed cheat system, the infiltrator system of the Wizarding World, really not Tzeentch's conspiracy?
Li Wei always felt as if there was an invisible net tightly enveloping him.
After a long while, he could only forcefully suppress these thoughts. He felt that he was probably just overthinking things. He was just a nobody, not someone who would make the Emperor and Tzeentch go to great lengths to arrange his fate.
Magnus, who had been watching Levi's movements closely, sighed and said softly:
"Levi, don't overthink it. My brother Conrad Coates, who lives in the shadows, might not be thinking straight."
As he said this, he pointed to his head with his finger.
Magnus had long suspected that, apart from a few rational Primarchs who were relatively normal, most of the Emperor's offspring—his brothers—were a group of twisted madmen whose words and actions were not based on reason but on instinct.
In short, the emperor's offspring are all madmen, which makes sense.
"Hmm." Hearing Magnus's half-joking reassurance, Levi smiled in relief. He didn't want to dwell on his guesses any longer and changed the subject, "Master Archmage, have any planets in the nearby star systems been found where orcs exist?"
After saying that, Li Wei shook his head, feeling that business was more important and that it was not advisable to let his mind wander.
Qianzi still needs to follow the previous plan, find the planet Ulanno in advance, and use it to plan ahead, try to fight the huge orc empire in advance, obtain first-hand combat information, and become an indispensable and important help in the future Ulanno expedition.
Magnus listened to Levi's renewed enthusiasm, nodded knowingly, and calmly said:
"No orcs have been found in the nearby star systems."
Li Wei was not disappointed upon hearing this. If it were really that easy to find, Qianzi wouldn't have spent three years aimlessly searching everywhere in the Extreme Starfield.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"My lord Archmage, where is the main force of the Shadowmoon Wolves operating?"
"Hmm?" Magnus paused for a moment, but didn't think much of it. After a quick thought, he answered truthfully, "We are conducting a clearing operation near the Cartel system."
Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"My Lord Archmage, let's head at full speed towards the star system where Shadowmoon Wolf is located."
He was truly at his wit's end. Li Wei didn't know where the orcs' home planet, Ulanor, was. Previously, he could only explore randomly according to the unlit areas of the star map of the Limit Star Region.
Unable to find Ulanno, Li Wei had no other choice but to seek refuge with the Shadowmoon Wolves, who had been fighting in the Extreme Starfield. Before Horus found Ulanno, he wanted to participate in the Shadowmoon Wolves' operations in advance and lay the foundation for cooperation in the upcoming Ulanno campaign.
"Hmm." After listening to Levi's suggestion, Magnus thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Although he found it strange that the Thousand Sons Legion had taken the initiative to seek out Horus's Shadowmoon Wolf Legion.
But Livy has always claimed that he was using his Black Crow School's prophetic techniques to foretell Magnus's future trajectory.
Magnus also questioned the accuracy of Livy's prophecy, after all, Livy came from the Phoenix School and was more skilled at burning enemies with intense warp flames than at the Black Raven School's prophetic techniques.
However, Livy's predictions were always remarkably accurate, and even Ahriman, the chief mage of the Black Raven School, had unwavering faith in Livy's prophetic abilities.
In the end, Magnus could only express his admiration. As the leader of the five major schools, he was also extremely skilled in the prophetic arts of the Black Crow School. He had actually performed divinations about the future that Livy had shown him, but they were either very different from Livy's predictions or vague and ambiguous. This made Magnus waver in his decision regarding Livy.
However, he trusted Livy's character even more. Every decision Livy made was for the sake of the Thousand Sons, and the results were always beneficial to the Thousand Sons. This made Magnus completely believe in Livy's prophecy.
"Yes, the future of the Thousand Sons' legion rests on Horus. We must cooperate with Shadowmoon Wolves this time."
Li Wei quickly added, afraid that Magnus wouldn't believe him. Magnus's personality had already changed under his subtle influence, but Magnus's inherent pride was deeply ingrained and he wouldn't easily change his mind because of Li Wei's few words.
However, Magnus was, after all, the Archmage of the Thousand Sons, a wise scholar, and he was a normal person, much more normal than the Emperor's other offspring.
Conrad Coz was much more normal than the Primarch of the Midnight Lords whom we had seen before.
The thought of the future Conrad Coates had instilled in him sent chills down his spine, and even his temples throbbed.
A strange future—was it really destined to happen?
Li Wei also felt that he should go to the Emperor, the ruler of mankind, because he thought that the Emperor, who possessed omniscience and omnipotence, might know what was going on.
Putting aside everything else, if Conrad Coz, the son of the Emperor, can foresee the distant future, then how could Conrad Coz's father, the most powerful psionic in the galaxy, really not see that dark future?
