Zeke began his research, while Guilliman started learning about the current state of the Imperium from his sons.
These sons of Cawl and the Ultramarines began to tell Guilliman about the Human Imperium's situation.
But upon hearing about the Imperium's state, Guilliman felt as if his vision went black.
No one knew what he was thinking, but everyone could see that on the day the Primarch was resurrected,
The Primarch's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Primarch felt like he was about to lose his composure.
However, amidst all the bad news, he received one piece of good news: the name of the person who saved him.
Zeke.
Yaeger.
What an ancient surname.
Combined with the fact that he appeared from the Mists of Time, the family he belonged to was almost obvious.
The Yaeger family.
The current Human Imperium might not know the full extent of the Yaeger family's power, but he, having personally participated in the Great Crusade, knew very well.
How invincible was the Yaeger family during the Great Crusade?
How powerful they were was a consensus among all of them.
If it weren't for the necron dynasty in the Mists of Time engaging in a protracted war with the Yaeger family, do you think that fellow Horus would dare to stir up a so-called Great Betrayal?
Dare to launch a Great Betrayal?
If even one of that family's expeditionary fleets were recalled to defend Terra, then Horus would be shouting about how invincible they were.
Give him ten times the guts, and he still wouldn't dare to initiate this Great Betrayal.
It was only because the main fleet of the Yaeger family was tied down by the necrons that they only deployed a small contingent on Terra.
They only symbolically left a personal guard to protect the Emperor alongside the Custodes; the rest of their forces were in the Mists of Time.
Do you think Horus would dare to harbor such disrespectful thoughts?
During the Great Crusade, the Emperor's Astartes and mortal forces fought in cooperation, but the Yaeger family's operations were even more efficient.
Their ordinary soldiers had combat power no different from the Astartes, and they had an endless supply of Iron Men legions.
Everyone said the Emperor used the Astartes as cannon fodder.
But who would have thought that the Yaeger family truly used the Astartes as Imperial Guard?
He had once proposed that mortals govern the Imperium, mainly because he expected to die, and the Yaeger family was still there.
He believed that under the guidance of this powerful family, the Human Imperium would not have come to such a state.
However, it was clear that Guilliman felt he had made a mistake.
He had never imagined that after his demise,
the Yaeger family would directly abandon the position of Governor of the Mists of Time, and apart from retaining their seats on the High Lords of Terra, the entire family began a strategic contraction.
Even now, when he asked his sons about the Yaeger family's situation, his sons merely told him that the Yaeger family was a knight house of the Mists of Time.
Heh heh—
A knight house, what a joke! Did the Yaeger family only have knights?
It seemed they had returned to their reclusive life, not wanting to deal with the Imperium's mess, but why was Zeke here?
Based on what Zeke had said earlier, Guilliman began to deduce why Zeke was here.
He conducted a detailed analysis.
Zeke said he promised the Emperor he would save him. Who was the Emperor? He was his father, the Emperor.
Of course, throughout the Imperium, only the Yaeger family would refer to the Emperor in such a way.
This meant that this family seemed to be preparing to rise again?
Excellent!
Amidst a plethora of bad news, Guilliman finally heard this best news. With the existence of this family, he believed everything would get better.
Guilliman, who had personally witnessed the terrifying strength of this family during the Great Crusade, was deeply convinced of this.
Even if this family had rested for tens of thousands of years.
But he believed that even after tens of thousands of years of rest, the Yaeger family would still be the powerful Yaeger family.
No matter what, with the support of this powerful family, the current state of the Human Imperium would surely change.
However, the Yaeger family also had their arch-enemies, the necrons.
Guilliman couldn't rely entirely on the Yaeger family.
Therefore, various bad news from other parts of the Imperium continued to assault his nerves.
Guilliman was shocked by all sorts of news and locked himself in his private chamber, contemplating for three whole days.
After three days, he finally emerged from his room.
As soon as he left his room of contemplation, with a clear will and a clear goal, he walked towards Zeke's dwelling.
He wanted to return to see the Emperor; he wanted to speak with his father personally.
And only one person could help him with this.
That was Zeke.
Only the Yaeger family's fleet could help him quickly return to Terra.
Guilliman arrived at Zeke's room door and then knocked.
"Come in—"
Zeke's languid voice came through. Guilliman opened the door, and Zeke was still researching his various technologies, especially strategies for using those small blue high-dimensional demons.
Zeke's most important goal now was to turn these high-dimensional demons into his power banks.
After all, this energy was definitely pure, and it would be perfect for replenishing his own energy.
When Guilliman entered Zeke's room, an automatic mechanical chair came up behind him, gesturing for him to sit down.
After Guilliman slowly sat down, the mechanical attendant quickly brought him before Zeke and then served him a cup of green tea and a small pastry.
"Please—"
It wasn't until Guilliman was in front of Zeke that Zeke stopped his research and exchanged pleasantries with Guilliman.
Yes, yes, the people of the Yaeger family were like this during the Great Crusade; this feeling was so familiar.
The moment he saw Zeke, Guilliman's heart also settled. He then picked up a small pastry from the table and popped it into his mouth.
The taste was exquisite!
Finally, he took a delightful sip of green tea.
The sweet cookies, paired with green tea, were an absolutely wonderful combination.
After enjoying that, Guilliman took out a spoon and dug into a slice of mille-feuille cake and a mousse cake.
For a moment, Guilliman seemed to forget why he had come here and simply began to enjoy afternoon tea in Zeke's room.
Seeing Guilliman directly enjoying afternoon tea, Zeke was not in a hurry and also began to enjoy afternoon tea himself.
A lovely afternoon should always be enjoyed. As for any work matters, they could wait until after the enjoyment was over.
The two of them thus tacitly began to enjoy their afternoon tea, accepting everything from small cakes to cookies, green tea to milk tea.
