Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 376

  Chapter 376 Expedition Road: New Business

A tall statue stood on one side of the wall. It was a scene of a roaring tall beast being hunted down by an Eldar hunter. The burly and strong dragon was knocked down to the ground, and the tall Eldar hunter stepped on it Raising the spear, a spear pierced the back of its neck and stomped it firmly to the ground.

The struggling dragon resisted dying on the ground, but it seemed completely unable to defeat the hunter. The spirit hunter was powerful and proud. He raised his handsome face and stood on the dragon's back like a god, overlooking all living beings. .

  At the same time, he also overlooked the pedestrians who stopped in front of the statue to watch him and the dragon. For example, there is a pedestrian here. He is wearing a black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets and looking at the tall statue in front of him.

The man stood there, carefully looking at the Eldar hunter who was wearing the hunter costume and the robe fluttered behind him. The dancing robe floated behind him, and the entire cloak was carved out of huge rocks. Every inch of pleats, every inch of ups and downs with the wind is extremely fine and amazing.

  He looked up at the handsome face, and looked at the pair of plaster eyes without pupils. The statue overlooked the man in front of him, a man who existed longer than this arena, perhaps even older.

"Mr. Saul Constantine, your reward." From a corner of the hall, Kelgat came in from behind the side door. He walked along the deck floor between the towering metal dome and the high wall, stepping On the metal floor, there were waves of dull footsteps echoing.

That voice reverberated throughout the huge metal hall. In this huge space where there was no one but the two of them, it was constantly reinforced by echoes, so even if it was just a whisper, Vito standing in front of the statue could still hear it, let alone Said Kelgat's voice is not small.

He put his hands in his pockets, turned slightly and looked at Kelgat who was coming, "The remittance is pretty fast, are you ready?" "Almost, there are always a few people who are patient, especially Even less in the webways."

Kelgat walked through the large hall and came straight to Vito. He took out a golden card from his pocket and handed it to Vito. The latter took the card with a smile and looked at himself in his hand. After weighing it self-consciously, he showed an amused smile.

   "I thought you guys would use money bags here. I still prefer real rewards, the kind that can be weighed in my hand and directly feel the gravity of the gold coins in it."

   "In that case, you won't be able to carry it at all. Put your reward tonight into a bag. It's as big as you, can you take it away? And, so high-profile, here?"

Vito snorted softly for a while, and then put the golden card into his arms, "Indeed, the probability of being robbed and shot here is higher than the probability of me falling down when I go out, so well, it's okay to cash in the card." good."

Kelgat looked at the card that disappeared from his collar and nodded slightly. He turned his head and looked around, looking around the huge empty atrium hall, "Take this card and go to the Comoros Black Heart Conspiracy Vault to exchange cash .”

"Hey, I didn't know Victor had banking business." Vito smiled jokingly, crossing his hands on his chest and looking around in front of Kyle, who seemed to be carefully observing something and was ready to leave at any time. Gatt.

"You look nervous. Could it be that the exchange procedures at Victor's place are complicated? I need to prepare a lot of certificates in advance and fill in more procedures until it drives you crazy, and you still The kind that you can only get money after you can continue to persist? Just like the Imperial Bank?"

Vito smiled and complained unceremoniously about the deposit mechanism of the Empire. He still remembered the last time he needed money, it seemed that he needed to buy a group of gangs temporarily on a hive planet, and he didn't have enough money on him. If there is too much money, there is no way to temporarily go to the local planetary government to ask for money in the name of a judge.

  So I had to go to the nearest Imperial Bank to withdraw money. In that experience, Vito almost pulled out his gun a few times, shot the receptionist, and then directly robbed the bank to get the money.

But Kelgat didn't seem to understand Vito's joke, or rather, he understood it but didn't care now. He focused his attention on observing everything around him, carefully monitoring the emptiness around him. Silent hall.

There is no one here, but Kelgat seems to be a little more nervous. His eyes seem to be a deal in the dark streets of Comoros, carefully observing everything around him, as if he will come from somewhere at any time. A large group of gang members came out, shot him and Vito into a hornet's nest, and then robbed him of the money.

"What are you worried about? Are you late for tonight's date?" Vito smiled jokingly, standing in front of Kelgat with his arms folded, while the latter frowned, slightly turned his head and looked in front of him in a warning, boasting, Vito without any sense of urgency.

"You really don't know the reason? Or are you kidding me?" "I really don't know, would you mind telling me?" Vito shrugged with a smile, looking rather unscrupulous, Kelgat looked at him slightly He raised his eyebrows, and after glancing around again, he muttered softly.

"You killed Mr. Silko's favorite beast, and you won tonight from him. He paid a big reward. If I were you, I would take that money and leave immediately. , run as fast as you can, then leave the webway, and go to the physical universe to find a corner to hide for a while."

  Vito looked at the nervous Kelgat in front of him, put his hands in his pockets with a smile on his face, "Is it so scary? Your words look like I offended Victor."

   "Believe me, that's almost the same. No one can offend Silko and leave alive. Even if they just happen to stand with them, it's the same. Silko will beat them into a sieve together!"

Kelgat lowered his voice, stared around nervously and said, he seemed to want to run away, and couldn't wait, Vito looked at him and smiled, then shrugged slightly, then turned around and walked towards The direction of the open arch on the other side of the hall.

   "Then I won't cause you any trouble, I wish you a nice evening and see you next time." "I'd rather this be the last time we meet, Mr. Constantine."

Kelgat said in a low voice. After staring at the back of Vito walking away, he quickly turned around, looked around and walked quickly to the exit of the hall. After turning a corner, he disappeared there, leaving this dangerous place. right and wrong.

With a silent smile on the corner of Vito's mouth, he walked across the large deck of the hall with his pocket in his pocket. After passing under the arch with numbers painted on the side, he came to the huge hangar deck just beside the hall. He was waiting here for a long time. , Lilith, who was already a little impatient, lowered her head.

Lilith, who was sitting on the side and didn't know it was on the checked luggage of those visitors, jumped off with her hands on her hands. She stood by Magnus's cage with one hand on her hips, and looked at Vito who was walking towards him, "So, What do we do next? The captain is nowhere to be seen."

"Let it be." Vito said as he walked past Lilith, he gently raised his palm and scratched her face. The latter smiled and shrugged, hanging his head on his shoulder He looked at Vito who was walking behind the cage.

   "So where do we go now? Find a place to have a drink?" "Not bad, I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some fun while we wait."

Vito smiled and walked to the side of the Dark Eldar floating transport trailer that carried the huge cage where Magnus was sitting. His fingers clicked twice on the display screen on the side of the trailer, followed by crisp ticks. With a sound, the indicator lights on both sides of the floating car lit up, and then it was suspended from the ground.

It dragged the heavy iron cage on its back, and the cyclops in it floated beside Vito. After the latter clicked something quickly on the screen, he waved his hand slightly to signal to keep up, and then walked to the distance to stop. Marauder speeder on the tarmac.

After Lilith shrugged slightly, she straddled the whip flicking around her waist and followed behind him. Also following behind Vito was the floating vehicle, which drove silently and slowly behind Vito, carrying With Magnus on his back, he sailed to the fast attack boat not far away.

  The open fast attack boat cabin doesn't seem to be far away, and the hanging landing deck seems to be within two or three steps, but Magnus seems to feel that it is far away, as if it is in the sky.

This is not because the physical distance of the ship has changed, but the atmosphere here, the dead silence and disturbing atmosphere, shrouded in the surroundings, making the journey to the hatch long and haunting. Back chills.

"Vito, the situation here is not right, not at all right." Magnus sat in the cage, leaned slightly towards Vito's direction and muttered in a low voice, and Vito, who was walking on the hangar deck beside him, also scanned the surroundings with his eyes. .

"I know." He said softly, with his hands in his pockets, he walked along the runways of the passenger hangars on both sides. This kind of private spaceship, you can see the difference in wealth and status at a glance from the appearance of those ships.

   But there was no one around those ships, their owners disappeared, and even the ground staff disappeared without leaving a trace. The entire airport was dead silent, and there was no sound at all.

  Vito took out the newly acquired golden pocket watch from his pocket, and he opened the watch cover to look at the hands. As he expected, something was wrong.

   "It's almost dawn, and tonight's gladiatorial fight should be over, so I guess if it wasn't for the delicious breakfast here, or other activities, this place should be full of guests who are about to leave."

  Vito doesn't think there is anything else in this ghost place that can attract visitors to stay besides fighting beasts, so yes, the situation here is very unnatural and not right.

"Then what should we do? Keep going?" Magnus asked softly. Vito, who was walking on the deck beside him, was still calm and composed. He put his hands in his pockets and walked calmly and calmly. between spaceships.

"Let's see what's going on. Let's go to the speeder first. I hope I'm not worrying." Vito said and took a big step. He walked towards the shuttle that was close at hand, and the two sides of the landing deck. The takeoff and landing hydraulic lever is almost within reach.

But just when Vito was about to touch the boundary of the gate, suddenly two figures stepped out from the back of the landing deck. They had been hiding behind the wide drooping gate before, but now they stepped out, blocking In front of that gate.

Vito stopped after taking a few steps, and the floating vehicle beside him also stopped with Magnus on its back. Vito stood on the runway with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, looking at the two tall roadblockers Strong men, with pistols and maces hanging on their waists, and breathing masks with pipes inserted in their faces, looked at themselves coldly.

"It looks like we're in trouble." Lilith said, looking sideways at more burly men who came out from between the docked spaceships on the left. They were all the same tall, wearing the same vest, shirt and trousers. They were all wearing breathing masks, and walked out of the spaceships that were docked next to each other.

  Lilith looked at the people who appeared from the corner one by one. They walked out slowly from behind the landing pad of the spacecraft, and soon all stepped on the edge of the runway, standing on one side as a wall.

  Vito glanced to the right, there were also many people walking out there, and he also heard footsteps behind him, in that dead environment, any footsteps seemed so eye-catching and easy to spot.

Therefore, Vito's ears keenly caught the impact of the long staff as the absolute main theme mixed in the footsteps, and the sharp end of the palm collided with the footsteps on the ground again and again, supporting The man holding him appeared behind Vito.

"Mr. Silko, I know we will meet again, but how about going to the bar for a drink here?" Vito turned around with a smile, his windbreaker swinging from the back of his thigh, making him He could see Shirko standing on the track behind him.

With his cane in both hands, he was also standing on the runway in that gorgeous custom-made dress, but what is even more noticeable is the whole row of tall guards behind him, their muscular bodies are like Asta's. There are many guards behind him like that, and everyone is armed.

"Mr. Constantine, why are you in a hurry to leave? I haven't congratulated you on your victory and reward tonight." Silko raised his thin face slightly, and looked at the front with his dark eyes. Vito, who turned around completely with a smile, looked around at the guards.

"Thank you, but you brought so many people to congratulate me, don't you think too highly of me? I haven't prepared a celebration banquet yet." Vito looked at the man in front of him, and their eyes met in the air , staring into each other's eyes.

Silko chuckled for a while, gently stroking the beak at the end of the crow's scepter with his fingers, the sharp, knife-like beak, "It should be, in the reward in your hand, there are also A lot of my betting part, plus you killed my beast, so I think I need to be a little more grand to see you."

   "Then you, do you want to take it back?" Vito smiled and took out the card from his arms. He twirled the thing on his fingers, and it seemed that besides seducing Silko, there was also a lot of irony.

  The person standing on the runway sneered, his laughter echoed around the entire deck, and became very large in the echo, and his words were also multiplied.

"You look quite confident, Mr. Constantine, have you noticed that there are many people around you who can help me get that thing back?" Silko said, and the guards behind him all pressed He grabbed the weapon on his waist, and around Vito, there was also the sound of the bolt being loaded.

Vito did not panic, and continued to look at Silko calmly, "Oh? Really? Look at Mr. Silko, you may not know me, but this is not the first time I have seen such a scene .”

As Vito said, he took out a gun from his pocket almost instantly. He seemed to have hidden the pistol in the large windbreaker pocket in advance, and pulled it out instantly, and the moment of pulling it out was also completed. After loading the bullet, he pointed to Shirko in front.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the center of Silko's forehead. The guards behind him all pulled out their guns and pointed at Vito, and there was a sound of bullets being loaded in the direction of other guards around him, and they all drew out their weapons. , aiming at Vito standing on the central runway from all directions.

At the same time that Vito pulled out his gun, the silver-haired beauty beside him also lifted up the skirts on both sides suddenly, reached into his waist, pulled out the two pistols covered in the intersecting holsters behind the holsters, and raised the two guns Leaning back on Vito's back, she smiled and pointed the gun at the two guards on the landing deck behind Vito.

Lilith aimed at them, and the muzzle of the gun swept across the guards on both sides of the runway. She and Vito pointed three guns at them, and there were dozens of guns pointed at them around them. Mouth to muzzle, it seems that in an instant, flames will jump out of the black muzzle of the gun.

At this dangerous moment of light and flint, Silko still looked into Vito's eyes, and he sneered, still pressing his hands on the crow's cane in front of him, "Two people, three guns against a dozen people, dozens of guns, Kang Is that too bold, Mr. Standing?"

Vito sneered, and pointed the gun in his hand at Silko's head, "If your guns can fire, so can our guns, so many people will indeed die here tonight, Mr. Silko, and I It can be guaranteed that the first head to explode will belong to my big treasure."

As Vito said, he tapped his finger on the trigger lightly, and took out his other hand from his pocket. He held the remote control of the iron cage in his hand, and Vito pressed the button without thinking. button, as the red button was injected into the surface of the long-handle remote control, all the iron cage doors behind Vito were instantly unlocked and opened.

The rotating electronic lock rang out one after another. After the ticking sound, Magnus slammed open the cage door, jumped off the trailer and stood behind Vito and Lilith. The burly red giant was tall. Promptly raised his body, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Magnus stood up and roared into the air. The deafening roar echoed throughout the deck. The already loud roar of the Primarch became louder under the echo effect of the surrounding walls, and the guards standing around roared. Shocked by the sound, they took a few steps back, but they still didn't put down their guns.

The roar of Magnus blew the coat on Vito's body, his hair danced forward with the windbreaker, and the black hair flew from the sides of his eyes, but those eyes were still fixed on the point where the pistol was pointing. Direction, staring into Shirko's eyes.

   "Plus this big guy behind me, so Mr. Silko, how many people will die tonight?"

  Silko looked at Vito and snorted softly. He raised his head slightly and stared at Vito's eyes with those dark eyes, "So, I guess you won't be willing to give me that card, right?"

   "Obviously, unless you come and get it yourself, the premise is that your eyes won't fly out of your head." Vito sneered and pressed the trigger, and there was no fear or retreat in his words.

Silko also sneered, he walked over slowly with the cane in hand, Vito's gun was pointed at his head, but the latter seemed to be as fearless as himself, "Then, let's change A solution, you took my reward and killed my beast, which did cost me a lot, but, as I said, we are civilized people, there is no need for this place to be dirty."

Silko said, raising one hand, he pointed to Vito and then to Magnus behind Vito, "So, I propose to use the remuneration in the golden card as the reward I gave to you." Your first reward, Mr. Constantine, from now on, I will give you more rewards."

"What is the price? In this world, there is no unreasonable generosity." Vito said with a smile, the gun in his hand was not put down because of the rhetoric, but Silko still smiled at him, and tapped his cane on the ground. On the ground, he walked alone step by step, and went to the meeting calmly and calmly.

   "It's very simple, do what you and that beast are best at. You will continue to participate in the gladiatorial battle under my hands. I will hire you, invest in you, and make you and the Cyclops become new stars in the webway."

   "Of course, you will also bring me a lot of rewards, but I will also generously give back a considerable part of it to you. How about seven or three?"

   "Fifty-fifty." Vito continued with a smile and began to bargain very directly. Shirko burst out laughing.

   "I will bear all your daily expenses, the food, training and equipment of the beast, so, six to four, this is the limit I can make."

Silko walked up to Vito, and almost put the muzzle of the gun against his head, but his eyes crossed the barrel of the gun standing between his eyes, looking at Vito's eyes behind him, he stretched out Raised a hand, "So, is it a deal?"

Vito looked at that hand, then raised his eyes to look at Silko in front of him, he stared at him, and pressed the trigger with his finger little by little, all the guards around who saw that action pointed their guns at Vito, and Lilith, who was behind him, also picked up two guns and aimed at the guards on both sides. Magnus stepped forward and clenched his fists.

Silko could also see the finger that pressed the trigger, but he continued to stand there very calmly and calmly, his dark eyes fixed on Vito's, and the two looked at each other, talking to each other without saying a word. watching.

  Vito's finger continued to press the trigger, as if he was about to fire the firing pin to fire a bullet, but at the moment when the fire was about to explode, Vito suddenly let go of his finger and put the gun down.

He looked at Silko in front of him and smiled, and the latter also smiled and looked at each other with Vito. After a while, Vito inserted the gun into the holster at his waist, and then reached out and held Silko's hand, " make a deal."

"Very good, Mr. Constantine, from now on, we are friends." Silko said with a smile, and Vito, who was holding hands with him, also looked at him with a smile. The guards around him put down their guns. Lilith He also slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun, and turned his head to look at Vito's side face in surprise.

  She doesn't know, what complicated tricks is Vito playing again, to work for the freak Shirko? he serious? But Vito behind Lilith showed a cold smile from the corner of his mouth, a sneer disguised as a friendly one.

"In that case, my friend, what is your real name?" Vito said with a smile, shaking hands with the thin man in front of him, Silko smiled coldly, then shook his head and looked at Vito in front of him. to the eyes.

   "Sturling, the boss of the Pirate Marauders, and one of the consuls of the Comoros, I believe you have heard my name, right?"

   "Yes, I heard that, I have long wanted to meet you, my friend." The smile on the corner of Vito's mouth changed, and turned into the smile of a hunter watching his prey go into the trap.
