Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 359

  Chapter 359 The Road to Expedition: Sunburned One-Eyed Ogryn

Arthur didn't really like repairing machinery, very much, he hated the pungent smell of engine oil, and the bad feeling of the lubricating fluid getting his hands dirty, so he couldn't read a book, as long as he touched the pages, those precious Yes, precious books that are now irreproducible are destroyed.

But now Arthur has learned mechanical repair and maintenance, not out of his own will, but his father Adams, old Adams needs a son who can repair machinery, and among his three sons, obviously only Arthur had the talent and the patience to learn this technique.

Therefore, Arthur was sent to Father Moral, learned the technology of mechanical repair, and even built some small machines by himself, and now, Arthur is using the technology he learned from the mechanical priest. Turbocharger for water pumps in the foreground.

Arthur was squatting beside the machine by the river. There was a box beside him. It was a yellow toolbox with an iron fist in a ring branded on it. The fist had faded and rusted like the box. And the dents make up for its corners, witnessing its long service life.

Arthur took out a wrench from the box, looked at the mechanical panel in front of him, and started to rotate the countless cables and electrodes in front of him with that small wrench. was twisted down.

"How long will it take you to fix it?" Arthur said to a dark-skinned man standing behind Arthur, with his thick bare arms and a jacket that had been cut off at the cuffs to make it more convenient for farm work. The old man in the vest, he asked, looking at the mechanical dial of the water pump in front of Arthur.

"Come on Dad, I still need a little time, but I will make it work." Arthur said, throwing the unscrewed electrode aside, he took out a brand new electrode from the box and inserted it into the panel up, and then repeat its twisting motion once more.

Old Adams looked at his son, and twisted the electrode into it with the turn of the wrench again and again. Arthur quickly put the thing on, and then took out a small welding torch from the tool belt on his waist, After pressing the trigger with his finger and confirming that the welding sparks sprayed out were normal, Arthur immediately started working with it.

With his body close to the electronic surface of the water pump, he began to perform fine circuit reconstruction welding with a small welding torch in his hand. With every touch of the welding torch, dazzling small sparks were ejected from the mechanical surface. There was also a bright light on Arthur's face.

Although the sparks were bright, they were not enough to wear a welding mask, so Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, and the work between his fingers never stopped, and the father behind him also put his arms in his arms quite satisfied, standing behind Arthur.

He looked at the mechanical surface Arthur was handling, and nodded affirmatively, "You are much more reliable than your three brothers, Arthur, you should have followed my advice long ago and put away your useless books , and then follow the mechanical priests to learn technology honestly, instead of being enthusiastic about those useless knowledge."

"Knowledge is always useful, Father, old knowledge can lead to new knowledge, and new knowledge can bring about more changes." Arthur stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Adams, who gently He snorted, quite disdainfully.

"What did the old guy Virtus say? He said that when he was still on the expedition, that old thing, their preachers don't do anything all day long, just conduct endless and meaningless battles in their own halls Boring and debating, discussing useless, ridiculous philosophies, knowledge and understanding and the like."

Adams said with undisguised contempt, he pointed to the water pump panel in front of Arthur, "What they really should do is to take off the ragged robes, and then take tools to repair or create something, not Whispering endlessly in our heads, we have to feed the philosophers in the end."

   "Waste who eat for nothing, just like the emperor said, only hard work, labor and piety can benefit the empire, instead of being tempted by those dangerous and useless knowledge to go into fantasy."

"Father, didn't the Emperor also say that rationality and thinking are the cornerstones of the empire? If we give up thinking and exploring knowledge, human civilization will eventually stagnate, and eventually return to a state of ignorance, where a few powerful people control the right to speak , and become an existence that is diametrically opposed to the civilized country envisioned by the Emperor."

Arthur argues that he is like a thinker, a philosopher, and a scholar who is questioned and condemned by ignorant people in all murals, but his debate is doomed to be meaningless, because Adams is his father , so he doesn't need to convince his son.

"Shut up brat, don't talk back to me with those preachers' nonsense, I told you not to hang out with Leno, that brat is also a "thinker" who eats as much as Virtus, heh, in the end It's not like we're going to feed them.”

Adams said and patted Arthur on the head. He patted Arthur's head with his dirty hands after finishing the farm work, and then picked up the hammer that was leaning on the side and walked towards the fence on the hillside of the river bank. Repair the water pump, stop thinking about messy things, the Emperor said, too much knowledge only brings danger!"

Arthur looked at his father who was walking away, he sighed softly, picked up the welding torch and continued to operate on the panel in front of him, sparks were flying in front of him, and soon Arthur rebuilt the messy circuit on it. Correction, the port was returned to its original position, he placed the welding torch on the gravel ground by the river bank, and then yanked the lever at hand.

The pull rod next to the electric circuit of the water pump was pulled down violently by Arthur, and the convex steel end of the long rod quickly hit the bottom of the slot. With a crisp sound of metal collision, the whole water pump moved after the boom. When he got up, the knowledge points on the mechanical instrument lit up one by one, and the whole machine also vibrated.

Arthur looked towards the river on the other side of the water, and the pumping pipe submerged along the river beach began to **** water in the tremors. Along with a small vortex appeared on the river surface, a large amount of river water was pumped into the pipe of the pump , and then proceeded all the way up the water pipe in front of Arthur under the mechanical force.

The long pipeline goes all the way, and finally climbs up the **** at the edge of the river embankment, and drills into the direction of the farmland from the pre-opened gap under the fence. The water will eventually be distributed in the farmland, dripping with countless small branches Pipelines are collected into the entire field.

Arthur heard the sound of running water in the water pipe, then got up and walked to the operation panel on the side of the water pump main unit, and quickly clicked on it with his fingers, with icons flashing one by one, two power horizontal bars Immediately appeared in front of the eyes.

Arthur pulled it up and fixed it at a value. As the finger pulled the pointer, a long red line rose from the end of the screen. As the red line gradually and quickly rose close to the pointer, the water pump also Worked quickly with a more dull voice.

When all the work was done, Arthur took off his work gloves, and he threw them into the toolbox as he walked by, and then walked to the backpack leaning on the stone by the river bank, where the young maintenance worker would Hands skillfully reached into the flowing river water, quickly cleaned and pulled out a book from the bag.

It was a very old book, and the cover was full of scars from the falling cover. Arthur held the book, and then sat down on the ground, leaning on the rocks on the river bank and pointing his fingers Gently brushing over the cover of the book that he had read countless times, he looked at the title of the book on the peeling cover.

  On the cover of the book that is full of scars, the name of this book is still clearly visible. The author of "Divinity and Humanity - Part 1" was created in the 10th year of the Unification War.

Arthur turned over the old pages, and his fingers turned the pages that were still yellowed over the years. Many of the pages had been bound many times, and the custodians tried their best to preserve this book. The integrity of the book obviously took a lot of hard work, but it is also useful, after all, the content of the only copy of this book is still in Arthur's hands, isn't it? Instead of being scattered all over the place, they flew to countless unknown corners.

This knowledge was carefully preserved and finally passed on to this young man. This is the only copy in the entire settlement. Arthur knew that this book was in the library of the battleship, which was sealed by a huge iron gate. Survivors who managed to escape from the dark prison in the famous temple of knowledge.

It is so important that Arthur can't find any suitable words to describe it. Any words he can think of are not enough to describe its importance. It is too important. This book is to spread the reason and truth in it. The last medium of the book, the rest of the classics are locked behind the door, under the threat of the electronic demon, sleeping in the darkness forever.

Arthur flipped through the content, his eyes looked through the lines of text on it, in fact, Arthur didn't have to look at the lines to read the content, he had long memorized the content All the passages of the book, he has already learned by heart after reading them countless times.

But Arthur will still read this book over and over again, and every time he will read it again with the same longing, humility and excitement. The content is too shocking, and Arthur still remembers the first time he When he saw this book, the scientific and rational explanations and conclusions about divinity made him feel refreshed.

  Although my father always said that the people in this book are ridiculous, how could the Emperor not be a god, but a person? But whenever he saw Malcador's name written in the author's place, Adams would calm down, pretending as if he hadn't seen the book.

This provided Arthur with a good opportunity to read and savor the text again, and now, Arthur turned to the page stuck by the bookmark, and then quickly swipe his finger along the text When I got up, my eyes looked at each letter carefully, as if I was afraid of missing something.

   "The so-called gods are nothing more than things that humans cannot explain temporarily. The so-called divinity, miracles, witchcraft, and magic all have principles that can be explained by science, but"

  "Stupid people will name things they cannot understand as gods to cover up their stupidity and ignorance, but wise people can always obtain the truth from knowledge."

Arthur was reading a paragraph, but when he was about to read the next paragraph, suddenly another unfamiliar voice sounded behind him, and he helped Arthur read the second half of the text, word for word, accurate Read it without error.

  A huge shadow appeared together with his voice, and that shadow immediately enveloped Arthur. The young Arthur raised his head and looked at the tall giant behind him.

The mountain-like giant had deep red skin, his striking complexion was like a burning flame under the sunlight, and his long red hair hung down behind his head, behind the rest of the crown. Exudes a fiery red light.

He was wearing an armor full of exotic styles. It was not like the Sun Army, or those Astartes that Arthur had heard of, which covered the whole body tightly, but it was lighter and more beautiful. His muscles and skin were exposed, and it was unknown whether it was because the giant didn't need it or what.

   Arthur looked at the tall figure in front of him. He raised his head along his tall body, as if a climber at the foot of a mountain looked up at the top of the mountain. Soon, Arthur saw the peak of the mountain.

It was a red-gold eye, the one eye was staring at the tiny Arthur, and the other eye was wearing a blindfold. Arthur looked at the blindfold and suddenly thought of the ancient Thai that old Virtus had told him. According to legend, Odin, the king of the gods in the Norse legends of ancient Terra, was also blind in one eye, while the other was a red-gold eye.

  Arthur looked at him, and after looking at that face, he quickly reacted after thinking for a while. He recognized who the person in front of him was, and then immediately stood up and looked up at his face, "Lord Magnus."

   "You know me? Child." Magnus said softly, while Arthur looked up at those golden eyes and nodded. He held the book in his hand and looked up at him without any fear.

   "I have seen portraits of all of you, Lord Magnus, the Eighteen Primarchs, the Eighteen Emperor's Children, and I am impressed with you in that."

"why?"

"Because you are the one who relies on knowledge the most, Virtus told me, you are the one who regards knowledge as a treasure among the eighteen emperor's children, and your Prospero library contains all the treasures of the galaxy. All the books! I've always wanted to visit, it's going to be spectacular! There's more to read!"

Magnus looked down at the excited young man in front of him, he didn't say anything, he didn't tell him that Prospero's great library had already been destroyed by the roar of wild wolves, and there was endless knowledge contained in it, Trampled by Russ and his savage sons, reduced to ashes by chainsaws and bombs.

Magnus just looked at the young man in front of him, his single red-gold eye glanced at the book in his arms, he gently spread his big hand, Arthur looked at the outstretched hand, he Immediately understood what Magnus meant, and then put up the book in his hand with both hands.

The book was placed flat on the palm of Magnus, and he took a look at the small mortal-sized book for him, "Divinity and Humanity is a good book, written by Malcador , I vaguely remember, that he wrote it when the Last Church was pulled down by the Emperor."

"Do you know the author of this book? He is simply too genius! The views and content in this book are revolutionary! The book uses quantum science, psionic energy and molecular science to structure the so-called divine power and miracles. , to prove that there has never been any witchcraft and magic in this world, and those so-called miracles and miracles are just different manifestations of science, and they are just clumsy tricks to deceive ignorant people."

   Magnus looked at the young man in front of him, he listened silently to the child's narration, and Arthur looked up at the legendary Primarch in front of him, the heir of the emperor who represented the truth.

"This completely overthrows all religions from the lowest level of logic! Sweeps all miracles and legends into the trash can. I heard that it was this book that made the later empire truth, which the emperor used to unify The theoretical guidance of the Milky Way comes from this book!"

There was light in Arthur's eyes. Magnus looked at the young man in front of him. He saw a familiar feeling in those eyes. Those eyes seemed to be a mirror, reflecting himself when he was young. At that time, he was also ordinary. The most aggressive, dynamic and tireless young apprentice on Spero.

Like the child in front of him, he absorbed knowledge eagerly, read all the books in the entire large library, and became the most outstanding academic master in the entire Prospero at a young age, and even defeated many respected masters , and their infallible truths that seemed infallible in the past.

Some people say that Magnus's success is due to the emperor's blood flowing from his body. The sacred blood makes him superior to all mortals and bestows genius-like wisdom on him, but Magnus doesn't think so, He believed that it had nothing to do with the Emperor's blood.

After all, reckless people like Angron and Ruth have nothing to do with knowledge or intelligence. If they were really like this, they would not have rejected the knowledge of Naya space during the Mikaia meeting. .

While Magnus was still remembering, looking at the child in front of him who looked exactly like him when he was young, and recalling that he could be called a happy youth, Arthur in front of him broke Magnus's memory with a question. Contemplation pulled him back to reality.

Arthur said a lot of words in a series, but there was only one sentence that Magnus really noticed. The young child raised his head and looked at himself with eyes shining with the light of seeking knowledge. He asked in a curious and puzzled voice , "Lord Magnus, my father, and many elders have told me that the Emperor said that too much knowledge will only bring danger. Did he really say that? Can knowledge really bring danger? ?”

After Arthur's words stunned Magnus for a moment, he seemed to return to Mikaia for a moment, and the tall giant appeared in front of his eyes, wearing golden armor and burning with gold at the back of his head. The stalwart giant of the ring looked down on him, golden eyes that seemed to burn his soul.

  Everything around Magnus became dark, and he seemed to be plunged into a black swamp all of a sudden, with water under his feet, some kind of liquid, no, it was blood.

Magnus looked up at the giant, he sat on the throne, behind it was a huge golden gate, he looked down at himself with burning golden eyes, Magnus looked up at him, suddenly in a In the silence, with a loud noise like a landslide, the golden gate shattered and collapsed. In an instant, countless figures rushed past both sides of Magnus. He looked to both sides, and there were endless demons Drowning towards the throne.

All kinds of demons roared and waved their weapons and sharp claws, and rushed towards the throne in the endless sea of ​​blood. They passed by both sides of Magnus, impacting the screams in the deepest part of the brain and thoughts With the roar blasting into Magnus's mind, he covered his ears all of a sudden and backed away again and again.

The demon rushing from behind kept hitting his arm, causing Magnus to take a few more steps forward. He looked up at the throne as if involuntarily, and the golden giant sitting on the throne was surrounded by endless demons. Looking at him from the other side of the sea, he roared at Magnus with a voice that struck the soul before being overwhelmed by demons.

   "Magnus! What have you done!?"

The voice knocked Magnus back to reality. He opened his eyes suddenly. He clenched his fists and stared at Arthur below. The latter also looked at him with a puzzled expression. with him.

"My lord? Are you okay?" Arthur looked up at the strange Magnus in front of him and asked. The latter looked down at Arthur in front of him for a moment, then saw the old book in his hand, and he opened the page , Looking at the paper that has been turned over countless times, leaving obvious finger marks on every page.

   "Have you read the next one? The second volume of this book." Magnus said while flipping through the books in his hand, Arthur looked at Magnus in front of him and shook his head in distress.

"No, my lord, no, the second volume is locked in the ship like the other books. Leno and I tried to sneak in, but we almost died inside and didn't reach the library. After that, Captain Lena forbade We're on board."

Arthur said with great regret, while Magnus looked at the child in front of him, he nodded slightly and then waved his hand lightly by his side, and soon there was a gap in front of him that sparkled with waves of psychic energy , Magnus put his hand deep into it and pulled out a book. After he patted the dust off the book, he handed the book to Arthur.

  The latter took the book with both hands, and then his eyes widened after glancing at the title of the book on the case, which was branded with the words "Divinity and Humanity - Part II".

   "My lord! This." "Take it, kid, I haven't looked at it for a long time, since... those things."

Magnus gradually stopped talking, he looked at Arthur in front of him and sighed silently, but Arthur, who was obviously concentrating on the book in his hand, didn't notice Magnus' sigh, he was very Excited, he focused on the complete book in his hand.

Magnus raised his head, he didn't know why, maybe it was intuition, maybe it was some effect of psychic power, he suddenly noticed Vito leaning against the alley not far away, leaning against the wall with his arms folded Looking at Magnus from a distance, he greeted him with a smile and motioned him to pass.

  Magnus nodded to him, and then returned the volume 1 of his finger to Arthur. "It can be seen that you need it more than I do."

After the latter took the book in his hand, he looked up happily at Magnus who was passing by. He looked at Magnus who was walking away, and looked at him with two books in his hand, "My lord! I Can you answer me the question I asked you earlier? Does too much knowledge really mean danger?"

Magnus stopped, turned his head slightly to look at Arthur behind him, the Cyclops lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, "Only you can answer this question, child, do what you think is right. "

Magnus didn't know why, but he remembered the words Vito told himself during the Mikaia meeting, let alone blurted it out without knowing why, he thought about all that, and sighed silently after that memory After taking a breath, he walked into the distance.

He left Arthur behind him. After watching Magnus leave, the latter immediately sat down with the second book in his hand. He immediately opened the thick book cover, and his eyes began to read eagerly. Among them are brand-new words and knowledge.

   Just like the kid on Prospero back then.

And that child, the grown-up child walked across the river beach, his tall body walked very quickly, and soon came to the entrance of the alley. Smiling and looking at Magnus in front of him.

"You are so generous, you gave the book away without blinking your eyes? You have never given me a gift, well, in fact, you have given anyone a gift." Vito said with a slightly resentful tone, but However, Magnus couldn't see any emotional changes other than indecentness from that still smiling face.

He walked up to Vito and looked at Vito who was leaning against the wall, "You never like to read books, and I don't like the weapons and "cool" toys you like, so I don't have anything you like I can send you."

   "It's not that Sanguinius doesn't like guns, swords, etc. Didn't he also give me a long sword? You can change it sometimes and learn how to get along with everyone. For example, start by giving gifts?"

"You're not wearing that power armor, Vito, where's your armor? Either you just woke up from a "long night's sleep" and you forgot to put it on before you woke up, or you have some new idea. " Magnus looked at Vito on one side, and said indifferently and without emotion, while Vito waved his hands with a sneer and put his arms around his arms.

"Okay, you boring nerd, but yes, I do have an idea, if we are lucky, we can get out of the webway, everyone go out together, and the dead power armor, I don't need it for a while. thrown aboard."

"That thing is always shiny and golden. When the old fool made it, it seemed that he was afraid that others would not know that he was wearing that armor. When you put on that thing and go out for a walk, it will become the focus of the audience in less than a minute, and , Huoli has taken special care of the target, so I don't need the local gold stuff now."

"You always have ideas, Vito, although most of the time, your ideas are linked to death, stupid and incomprehensible." Magnus said speechlessly, he turned his head slightly, and looked away from Vito The body moved away.

"Hey, but most of those bad ideas finally worked out, didn't they? I think it's the same this time." Vito smiled and sighed leaning against the wall. He adjusted the position of his legs so that he could lean against the wall. Stand on the wall more firmly.

"Helen will take care of the electronic demon, and I will be responsible for getting back the raw materials needed to repair the Mirage. After Helen solves the **** in the system, we can use those resources to repair the ship. You can get out of this **** place."

   "What about the webway? The Mirage can't open the webway, remember? This is an empire warship, not an Eldar longship, unless, you have a way to forcibly open a webway gate."

As Magnus said, he looked at the waterfall in the distance. The waterfall that flew down from the battleship hit the river surface, and a large amount of water mist splashed along with the falling point of the waterfall, as if A faint mist on the ground.

  Vito also looked in that direction, then shrugged with a smile, "No, I can destroy the webway, but destruction and creation are two different things after all, and creation is much more difficult than destruction in many cases."

   "With the help of Lilith, can't you do it?"

   Magnus looked in the direction of the waterfall and asked, and Vito burst out laughing. He leaned his head against the wall and smiled.

"It is indeed possible, but believe me, unless you have to, you don't want Lilith to come and open the door with me. Last time I did that with her, the psionic collision effect blew up half the galaxy, so, unless you like incarnation Big guns, or you wouldn't want that."

   "But it's not necessary now. We have a safer, more convenient and simpler method, but it needs to kill a lot of people. To be precise, it's an alien."

"Have you found a new webway?" Magnus turned his head and looked at Vito in front of him. The latter looked up at him and smiled. He raised his finger and pointed to the east, Mag Nous looked in the direction of the finger, which was the direction where they first discovered the wreckage of the Eldar and met Peter.

"Our alien neighbors, if I guess correctly, there will be a webway for us to use. By the way, we can "borrow" a lot of raw materials. If I guess correctly, there will be many good stuff."

As Vito said, he raised his finger, looked at his nails, then pulled out a small knife from his waist, and began to use the tip of the knife to pick up the dirt in the nails, "In short, I will go to the neighbors to skewer open the door, and take a friendly look."

   "Sure enough, another bad idea, go deep into the lair of the Dark Eldar, single-handedly fight with the Dark Eldar and their twisted creatures."

"Is it that bad? I've done more exaggerated things." Vito picked out the stain with a dagger. The dagger reflected golden light, and the reflection on the blade hit Magnus' face, making his eyes hard to open.

   "You came to me, do you need my help? Your "not too bad" plan?"

Vito smiled, and with a twist of his finger, the blade quickly turned in a different direction, and the reflected sunlight flashed from Magnus' face and then disappeared. Vito twirled the knife with his fingertips. Flexibly let the sharp weapon dance in your hands.

The sharp edge of the knife can cut Vito's skin in one fell swoop, which is true in fact. The blade almost touched Vito's fingers several times, but every time it was ingenious. Passed by.

   "My plan doesn't need your help for the time being. If I want to blow up something, I will come to you again, so I came to you for another matter."

"What's up?"

Magnus asked, Vito smiled and turned the dagger quickly with his finger, then grabbed the blade of the finger and pointed at Magnus, "You, Magnus, our university students have to go to the school , take a class. "

"what?!"

"Wow, I know this is a bit sudden. Originally, Virtus asked me to go, but my literary level, let's forget it. I still remember my childhood teacher, Herodotus? Or who? I forgot, I remember it well, he always said I was an idiot who just wanted to fight with knives and sticks and fight and didn't follow the rules."

As Vito said, he raised his finger slightly, and the dagger flew up immediately, and then the handle part flew into Vito's hand. He held the dagger, looked at the blade and shrugged with a playful smile on his face, "But You can't blame me for that, at that time, it was amazing to go to school well, from Sparta, Thebes, to Troy, who would hold books every day, except for those sissies in Athens city."

  Vito said sternly, it seems that even after 50,000 years, Greek civilization itself has disappeared, but at that time Vito still remembered to carry forward the fine traditions of mutual blackmail between various city-states and killing Athens together.

He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and gently moved the blade, "In short, I can't take that class, so you go, I know you don't need to prepare in advance, just like when you grabbed me and discussed "Ancient Just like in Age of Crash BC, I believe you can handle those eager kids."

"No, Vito, have you lost your mind? Is this the point? Are you really ignorant, or are you testing me?" Magnus frowned and asked seriously, as if he felt suspected, he Annoyed looking at the man in front of him.

   "If you are trying to test me, Vito, use a smarter method to trick me into your trap, and don't treat me like an idiot."

   Magnus said viciously, while the latter looked at him with a smile, then spun the dagger in his hand, and then slammed it into the scabbard behind his waist.

"Then what's the point? You're a Tzeentch demon primarch, you go to class and you might secretly spread the Tzeentch taint, corrupt those kids into believers, and then corrupt the whole ship? So I'm setting up a He tricked you into entering it, exposed his conspiracy minions, and then rushed out from where to kill you on the spot?"

Vito stood up while talking, and Magnus looked at Vito and frowned. He said it lightly, as if he was just talking about an insignificant topic, and its importance may not be as important as what he had for lunch today of.

   "What are you going to do Vito, what are you planning?" Magnus looked at Vito who stood up in front of him, he lowered his head and smiled softly, then turned and walked towards the alley.

"What happened today? Since Tzeentch Demon took the initiative to remind the victim, he is going to play tricks? And in fact, I think you will like this kind of nagging feeling very much. There is a feeling of going home?" Vito Laughing jokingly, his words were full of ridicule, while Magnus behind him was still extremely surprised, completely unable to understand Vito's meaning, he stepped forward and approached the man in front of him.

   "Enough, Vito, what do you want? Don't play riddles with me."

As Magnus said, he strode up behind Vito, aggressively, while the latter turned around flatly and looked up at the Cyclops in front of him, "Good guy, you and your boss and your subordinates usually Aren't they all so inhumane? You ask Tzeentch a question, and he can give you nine contradictory, inexplicable and logically confusing answers.”

   "But well, I just let you go to a class, it's that simple, that's all, I can't take it, and I don't have time, I'm going to prepare the preliminary plan."

"You are so confident and bold, handing over those children, you and the future of the empire to me? You know who I am, come on, Vito, don't try to deceive me! I'm not a fool! "

"Look at my sincere expression, does it seem like I'm lying? And isn't lying your specialty?" Vito smiled and pointed to Magnus in front of him. He looked at the surprised and completely incomprehensible Ma Gnus smiled.

"If you really plan to plant a corruption bomb for me, you will immediately shirk it, and then ask me to persuade you to accept it after three times, this is the habit of Tzeentch demons, I have seen too many Now, they are very familiar, they will not come to question me angrily, whether they are suspicious of you and dug a hole for you, or you are pretending to be too good, but who knows?"

Vito said with his hands folded, and looked up at Magnus in front of him. He was standing in front of Vito. The towering giant looked down on Vito, but no one could tell that the current dominance On this little guy.

"Go and tell those children about history and stories. They are the last generation who grew up in the empire's truth, rationality and knowledge. Use your learning to teach them for me. Maybe in the future, Will they be the revival of the age of reason and knowledge in the Empire? And you, Magnus, are one of the founders of that age."

After Vito said, he stepped back on the spot, turned around and walked to the end of the alley. Magnus looked at Vito's back and was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at him, " Are you trying to lure me back to the empire? Advise me to be good?! Don't take me for an idiot! I know what you want to do, I will not serve that hypocritical guy!”

"You won't, I know." Vito said and stopped in the alley, he stopped and stopped on the ground of the alley, Vito turned his back to Magnus, but the words did not affected by it.

"But I know you, child, from the time you and they were born, from the first time I saw you, whether you were loyal to the Emperor or to Chaos, all you longed for was to protect those precious It's just knowledge, keep those treasures going, for you, intrigues and power conquest are meaningless, they are just barbaric games of stupid people, that's why you have stayed in the subspace for ten thousand years, without Like Angron, take the big ax and rush out several times to cut scarlet blood roads across the empire."

"You want to protect that knowledge, and those children are the last generation of reason and knowledge in this galaxy. They are the treasure of knowledge that you want to protect, the real future of reason and civilization, and ignite the fire of the kingdom of knowledge. , so you will protect them, whether it is from the Emperor or from Tzeentch, you will not let them be used, you will not let the future be buried."

"I said I believe you, kid, I know you're not a villain, none of you, except, Erebus." Vito said with a chuckle, kicking his hands into the pockets of his jacket, He raised his head slightly with his back turned to Magnus, who was looking at him at the end of the alley, and wanted to say something, such as rebutting him, but he couldn't say a word, or even a word.

   "So, take good care of those kids, trust me, kids of their age will drive you nuts, so good luck."

Vito said, waved his hands and left with his pockets in his pockets. Magnus behind him looked at him, and looked at Vito who was leaving silently. After some thought, he slightly turned his head and looked into the distance Arthur on the river bank, looking at Arthur who just gave the child the book, his face is full of smiles, just like his own smile back then.
