Ultimately, the two reached an agreement.

Alvin agrees to Aldrich's request to Valshius exploration fleet.

However, Aldrich also needs to keep the secret and swear an oath to the Golden Throne in the name of his family and himself.

There's also good news: although Aldrich has joined the fleet, he won't be aboard the "Sword of Redemption." The Vought will send a brand-new Crescent Blade Class frigate a month later as a guarantee for the Inquisitor' journey to the Black Zone.

The Crescent Blade Class corvettes are equipped with a large number of Mechanicus members, maintenance personnel, and combat crew.

According to Aldrich, he specifically brought in his own Guardians, which even included three Deathwatch hunting squads dispatched by the Ordo Xenos to assist in the mission.

To some extent, Alvin's fleet power has expanded further.

Now, under his control are the "Dawn Watch," a force that rarely sees the light of day; the Dark Angels Chapter, formerly of the First Legion; and an entire Blood Angels Death Company sent by Dante, the Lord of Baal.

There is also the original Iron Warriors Legion, now known as the Heavenly Punishers' main Chapter.

After such a long time, the Punisher Legion has finally reached full strength, becoming an indispensable force.

And the former Night Lords Legion, now the Honor Guard, though fewer in number, consists of the elite of the elite.

The Ultramarines sub-group, the Silver Templars, a full-strength Chapter, a gift of friendship from Ultramarines Chapter, Calgar.

Upon closer inspection, Alvin suddenly realized that he had gathered the Gene Seed of five entire legions under his control. Moreover, as a Rogue Trader, he was probably the only one in the entire Imperium to have done this.

If we also include the mixed-player "Deathwatch," it's highly likely that they occupy "half the market"!

But... something seems off?

Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Iron Warriors, Night Lords... Why does it feel like the true successor to the Second Empire is here?!

Alvin was startled and quickly erased the thought from his mind.

It will take Aldrich about two weeks to complete the implantation of the mechanical Prosthetic limb and internal organs, so that he can walk normally again.

Moreover, the escort ships sent by the Vought would take a month to arrive. During this time, Alvin had the family flagship repair and replenish its resources at the Nomad Port.

After all, once they leave the Nomad Port, they will be sailing into a realm where the light of the Astronomican will no longer shine and where humanity will know nothing. It is very likely that they will not be able to find any supplies for months or even years, so they must be fully prepared.

Secondly, he needed to resolve Lillian's matter before leaving.

The Fernando Family mansion has been completely sealed off after the riots, with only Lillian allowed free access.

For the past two days, Lillian has been staying here, trying to find a way to retrieve the Valshius Family's star map from the Eternal Forge.

"No, let's clean this up as soon as possible..."

The thought of Winnie sent chills down Alvin's spine.

However, he hadn't expected that even Living Saint would be "jealous." Thinking of Winnie's angry expression...

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Cute!

As he pondered, Alvin entered the mansion. Lillian, who seemed to have known all along, was waiting for him in the Garden of Nurgle.

"Your His Highness Alvin, welcome back."

Lillian wore a light white long dress, her long hair falling to her waist. Her simple and plain attire could not hide her beauty.

"No need for such formalities." Alvin glanced at him twice before looking away. "You are now the head of the Fernando family. In terms of status, we are equals."

Are you... disliking me?

Unexpectedly, these words seemed to touch a raw nerve with Lillian, and her emerald green eyes welled up with tears.

"Why do you say that?" Alvin felt a headache coming on. He knew that Lillian's expression was most likely an act, but her pitiful eyes made it impossible for him to understand.

"According to the agreement, you helped me destroy the Fernando Family, and I am now your man."

Lillian looked at him pitifully, on the verge of tears. "I'm homeless now, does this mean... even you don't want me anymore? Your His Highness Alvin!"

No wonder there's a saying that goes, "Women are born actresses."

"Stop acting in front of me..." Alvin sighed and said, "Don't worry, with your ability to control the 'Eternal Forge,' I won't abandon you for the sake of the artifact."

Just a moment ago, Lillian seemed like a wronged little rabbit, but she immediately put on a gentle smile, "Then I'm relieved. Yesterday, that person... didn't seem very happy. I was afraid you would give up on me, so I asked that."

"You don't seem to care at all; I only care about the Eternal Forge."

Alvin was somewhat surprised by her reaction.

"Not at all," Lillian smiled. "Being used by you proves my value. Being a useful tool in your hands is enough for me, Your His Highness Alvin."

This woman is too smart... Alvin sighed silently to himself, finding it almost impossible to find a reason to.

"I have successfully retrieved the star map you requested."

Lillian looked at the silent Alvin, and being clever, she immediately guessed what was going on, so she decisively changed the subject.

"Alright, let's go."

Alvin came here specifically for this star map.

After going through such a long and winding road, we've finally come across this star map drawn by the successive heads of the Valshius Family during their explorations in the Black Zone!

They arrived at the Fernando Family's eternal temple, which resembled a massive mechanical Forge Factory.

"Your His Highness Alvin, this is the 'Eternal Forge'."

Lillian lit the temple lights, and a colossal creation, over ten meters in diameter and resembling a metal heart, was suspended in mid-air in the very center of the temple, bound by countless dense chains!

The heart-shaped object was made entirely of an unknown metal, and "blood vessels" could even be seen inside.

Alvin went up and tried to touch the "heart".

[Before the War in Heaven, the artifacts forged by the Old Ones could travel freely in the Warp, avoid Psychic Power Stormfront, and locate targets. If the remaining two parts were collected, they could be combined to form the complete artifact—the Eternal Star Map.]

[Energy available:???]

Good heavens, so emotions are only a part of the complete creation?!

Alvin glanced at the system's introduction, and his mind was immediately filled with shock. Just a single incomplete part could allow it to travel freely in the Warp; if all the parts were gathered together, what kind of power would the "Eternal Star Chart" possess?!

"Here you are the star map you requested."

Just as he was about to explode, Lillian solemnly presented him with a Crystal Ball: "Your His Highness Alvin, this is the 'Star Map' that the Valshius Family entrusted to the Fernando Family for safekeeping."

Alvin took a deep breath and took the "star map" from her hand.
