Just like Fulgrim is rare to Ferrus Manus, Ferrus Manus is equally rare to Fulgrim. After commenting on all the brothers and making countless hot comments, Ferrus Manus's evaluation of Fulgrim can be called a double standard.

At least that's the case from the Emperor's perspective.

Ah! Fulgrim, how good you are! The perfect seeker! Like me, you both have unparalleled talents and indomitable perseverance! We compete with each other and help each other! How can Perturabo understand the friendship between us?

When the good memories flow over, the remaining content will make Ferrus Manus go crazy.

This is the principle of deep love and deep hatred. In the past, Fulgrim could calm Ferrus Manus's anger, but during the betrayal, the anger that had been suppressed by Fulgrim completely roared out.

Fulgrim's betrayal caused an astonishing rage. Every time the Emperor took a look at it, he felt that his initial move was just right. If Ferrus Manus had been slower, he would have been easily fooled by Khorne.

Looking at Ferrus Manus with a confused look on his face, the Emperor still did not dare to say the name Fulgrim. He felt that this problem should be left to Lin Fan.

A crack opened, and Ferrus Manus disappeared.

The Emperor regained his will and heard God-Emperor's complaints.

"Can you go talk to Slaanesh and ask her to vomit in the direction of Nurgle?"

"Okay, I'll go talk to her."

Eagle of Chogoris is always chic, always free and easy.

Regardless of whether they are Primarchs brothers or White Scars children, they all look at Jaghatai in this way. That is because they do not know enough about Jaghatai, or they do not have the opportunity to understand the man galloping on the Chogoris grassland.

Deep sadness flowed out of Jaghatai's heart like spilled ink. White Scars was very energetic and had fought well in the past few years, but there was no one worthy of Jaghatai's aftertaste.

How painful is Horus Heresy for Jaghatai? In Prospero, he witnessed the destruction of Thousand Sons. After returning, the legion was torn in half by the aftermath of the rebellion, and he tried his best to support Jaghatai turned to Horus's brother Hasik, who was one of the brothers who fought with Khan before Chogoris was unified, and was also one of the people Khan relied on the most.

Hasik and the traitors were eliminated by Jaghatai, and only half of the remaining legion gradually withered in several years of guerrilla warfare. Qin Xia actively sacrificed himself in order to attract the enemy's attention, and Yesugei also sacrificed his life in order to open the road to Terra.

When the Khan returned to Terra, he was alone...

Some people need to be written down, engraved in their hearts, and written in books. This is what Jaghatai is going to do now. While riding a motorcycle, he faced the wind and recalled the past. After stopping, he sat at the table and wrote one memoir after another.

Jaghatai's eyes passed through the ornaments on the table and saw Fulgrim's profile with a frown on the smooth and reflective surface of the table.

Fulgrim seemed to be aware of Jaghatai's gaze. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other through the surface of the table.

"Who are you writing about now?" Fulgrim asked.

Jaghatai did not rush to answer Fulgrim, but quickly wrote a few more strokes on the paper full of words before giving up. He blew lightly on the paper to make the ink dry faster.

"Yesugei's deeds, I understood a little bit when talking with Kor'sarro. Chogoris is the same as Imperium's other places, both in Wannian Over the years, the truth of the past has been more or less forgotten and missing. Although the existence of Quanzhou Grand Library allows Chogoris to know the truth of the past more clearly, I cannot accept the lack of some details."

"So you are going to re-revise history? If Magnus is here, he will be happy to join your work." Fulgrim smiled. He used to think that Jaghatai was a barbarian not much different from Leman Russ, only more cold and weird, but after getting along for a long time, he discovered that Jaghatai was also a gem.

A gem will never shine unless it is carefully observed and touched.

"Magnus." Jaghatai shook his head with emotion and did not dwell on the name for too long. "I want to compile a history book, a history book that covers all the history from the birth of mankind to the present... But you know, this is a big project, and I can only write a more detailed version of our history at that time."

"Oh, that's right." Fulgrim nodded, "Is this what Roboute Guilliman asked you to do? When I was at Big Canteen, I always heard his complaints about the ignorance of today's Ultramarines. He disliked the current Ultramarines for being too fanatical and irrational."

"Part of it is his request, but I think the main reason is because I want to write. Using history as a mirror can help us know the gains and losses, and dress appropriately." Jaghatai said.

"That's really good..." Fulgrim sighed. He was always uneasy after meeting Iron Hands. In order to make his heart feel better, he chose to find a topic to continue communicating with Jaghatai.

Jaghatai noticed something strange about Fulgrim, and he took advantage of it before Fulgrim spoke. In fact, he also had many questions to ask Fulgrim, otherwise he wouldn't have been writing and drawing in front of Fulgrim for so long.

"I have a..."

"I have a question."

Fulgrim's words were interrupted by Jaghatai's faster words, just like an arrow out of the bow being pierced by the second arrow that followed. Fulgrim blinked and humbly motioned to Jaghatai to ask first.

This attitude actually stabilized Jaghatai's suspicion. In the relationship between Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus, Fulgrim must be a flexible being who tolerates Ferrus Manus.

With a slight cough to express embarrassment and thanks, Jaghatai asked his question.

"Do you think... please forgive my wording? Do you think Ferrus Manus has any particularly obvious character flaws?" Jaghatai's inquiry was more like a test under the subtle expression management.

Fulgrim was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Jaghatai would ask this kind of question, "Is this necessary for you to revise history?"

"Yes." Jaghatai said matter-of-factly, "I think it is necessary to ask the opinions of the parties involved regarding the breakdown of the relationship between Iron Hands and Emperor's Children Primarchs."

"Then why don't you ask Lin Fan, he knows everything." Fulgrim answered, with obvious confusion on his face.

"He knows about you in the past, but I want to know about you now. Looking back on the past, you should have some different thoughts, right?" Jaghatai answered.

Fulgrim looked at Jaghatai's sincere and serious face and felt that what he said made sense, so he began to carefully recall every moment of his relationship with Ferrus Manus.

Finally, Fulgrim complained quietly to Jaghatai, "Ferrus Manus... really doesn't care about other people's feelings."
