Perhaps realizing what he said that he shouldn't have said, Olot showed an awkward smile and then stopped talking.

Iax Although he is curious about the organization behind him, it is also clear from the expression analysis that the other party does not want to talk about this issue anymore.

So Iax immediately returned to his main purpose.

"Take me to see those Titan machines that can use Psychic Power."

Olot didn't say anything after hearing Iax's request, and just nodded.

Under the leadership of the other party, Iax continued to penetrate deep into the stronghold.

They passed through room after room, and each room was filled with some ancient equipment. Iax noticed that many of these devices had some shadow of Federation Era, but the outside seemed to have undergone subsequent modifications and upgrades, making it impossible to directly distinguish their functions.

The deep corridor is constantly patrolled by guards.

These people are completely different from the other Titan Legion Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii troops that Iax knows. Although they also have Bionic Body modifications, the technology used by regular Adeptus Mechanicus is different.

The status of these soldiers is closer to that of Astra Militarum equipped with embedded Bionic Body. They are equipped with sophisticated Carapace Armour weapons that are usually only found in Tempestus Scions and are holding Plasma weapons that are similar to rifles. The badges on their bodies tell their identities. These people are Titan Defense Force of Ordo Sinister.

Iax doesn't know that these inconspicuous guards are all Terran.

Even if he is just a Terra civilian, his status is naturally much higher than that of other Imperial World.

While walking through, Iax unexpectedly saw a more special emblem.

That's the emblem of the Sigillite organization.

Just relying on the information about this badge, Iax immediately made a series of possible guesses.

These Engineers who follow the ancient professional titles are most likely to be affiliated with the Sigillite organization.

The former founder and leader of this organization was the legendary Imperium Sigillite Malcador.

For this legendary figure, Iax got a lot of information.

There are descriptions of him in countless historical documents from unknown sources as well as in the Imperium database.

Although a large part is composed of puzzling hymns and eulogies with strange lyrics.

But Iax can still get a lot of information from it.

And Iax also saw the content about Malcador in Emperor's diary.

The full name of Malcador is Malcador the Sigillite, also known as "Sigillite Malcador".

Malcador had already played for Emperor as early as Unification Wars. He witnessed the birth of Primarch and worked for Emperor during Great Crusade. By the time Horus Heresy was about to end, he was already 6718 years old.

According to the contents recorded in Emperor's diary, Iax knew some extremely secret stories.

The first Space Marine army, led by Emperor, fought against a Psyker group named "Sigillite". This group of people could even resist the Psychic Power attack from Emperor himself, and Malcador was a member of Sigillite.

When Malcador and Emperor met, Emperor was just one of the Terra warlords who had no dreams. It was Malcador who persuaded and encouraged Middle Eastern Shaman to call himself "Emperor" and do what "Emperor should do."

In some documents that were deliberately erased, Sigillite was recorded as the brutal Psychic Power oligarch.

Emperor not only read these documents, but also wrote them in his diary.

Emperor realized that Malcador and himself were the same kind, and they were both Perpetual.

Then Emperor felt that he could use him to study the history of Terra as a basis for further expansion of Imperium, so he killed all the other Sigillite and changed its base into his own operations center, which is now Imperial Palace.

Malcador is also the founder of Inquisition and the first Grand Master of Officio Assassinorum. He presided over the establishment of various government departments such as Memorial Court and Cultural Relics Preservation Court.

As the leader of the Sigillite organization, he takes the preservation of human history as his own responsibility.

Emperor has great trust in Malcador and has given him supreme power to speak and act on behalf of Emperor no matter where he goes.

He even asked him to help him take care of those twenty pretentious Primarch Progeny.

In fact, only Leman Russ really regards Malcador as a relative, and the other Primarch are somewhat jealous of the close relationship between Malcador and Emperor.

In the final battle to defend Terra, Malcador had a fierce Duel fight with Horus's personal guard Erebus.

Although Malcador showed extraordinary courage and strength, he was ultimately defeated by Erebus.

However, his battle bought Emperor valuable time to deal with Webway in time and space, and he also took Golden Throne for Emperor, which allowed Emperor to fight Horus in person.

Malcador was first seriously injured in this battle, and then Psychic Power's power was drained by Golden Throne, and finally died from the combined effects of the two. He dedicated everything he had to Imperium and Emperor.

Iax carefully analyzed this part of the diary and came to the conclusion that Golden Throne may have erased the Warp information record of Malcador, which resulted in the Perpetual never recovering.

It was also after that that Iax gave up his plan to destroy Living Corpse under Terra and wait for him to be resurrected.

It is obvious that Golden Throne has absolutely damaged Perpetual.

Destroying a Perpetual that has become a living dead has a high probability of causing the opponent to become dead instead of coming back to life.

Although Malcador sacrificed himself, the series of organizations he founded did not disappear.

Perhaps these Engineers with strange heritage are part of the jurisdiction of this ancient Sigillite organization.

Finally, they came to a huge empty hall.

As the thick armored door gradually opened, the place was filled with many tall metal corridors and brackets, and the tall Warlord Titan stood neatly among the many metal structures on both sides of the hall.

After bringing Iax to the place, Olot stood aside.

However, Iax soon discovered some problems.

The high-precision composite scanning device was disturbed by Psychic Power. Compared with other Imperial Titans that can be seen at a glance, these Titans with Psychic Power reactions are quite special.

A large number of Psychic Power structures cannot be read normally.

After a moment of silence, Iax had to turn his head and look at Olot, who was silent at the side.

"I need detailed information about the weapons and operating systems of these Titan. To this end, I can try to solve some ancient technical problems for you."

The results from the Imperial Regent and High Lords of Terra resolutions are straightforward, Men of Iron will give them whatever they want.

It is precisely for this reason that the job of being a tour guide and commentator was given to Olot, who has little qualifications.

Even though their heritage is long, they have never been exposed to the normal operation of Men of Iron.

Olot entered a series of instructions from the terminal on the side, and then called up a large amount of drawing information data and displayed it in front of Machine Body.

The huge robot hand of Iax was slightly raised, and two silver-white Alloy cables were directly connected to the data port of the terminal like living creatures.

A large amount of information and data flash rapidly in it, which is dizzying.

All information about Psi-Titan was quickly collected by Iax and imported into Sword of the Void through data upload.

A series of technology integration and optimization processes are added to the core computing process.
