Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 488

  Chapter 488 Reborn from the Ashes: The Bug on the Ceiling

  Jack climbed on the outer high wall of the Governor's Mansion. He was as light as a swallow, nimbly and skillfully climbed up the towering eaves, and then jumped up the statue steps decorated with gargoyle statues in one step.

Those ugly monsters sat on the eaves, overlooking the city below with ferocious eyes, while Jack grabbed their faces and continued to climb up. It is as kind as coming home.

  Real home.

  The roof of the Governor's Mansion can almost be regarded as Jack's second home. Aunt Olivia always said that he learned to climb the wall before he even learned to walk.

   Jack asked when he learned to walk, and he didn't know when he learned to climb the wall, so he guessed that she should be right.

  The roof of the Governor's Mansion is an interesting place for a boy. There are many weird reliefs, statues, and corridors and attics that have been abandoned for many years, like a maze.

Jack used this place as his little base, a secret fortress, and he would come here to play when he was very young. Aunt Olivia had reprimanded him many times, saying it was too dangerous, but he still It will climb up the high eaves, and drill into the high roof through complicated corridors.

He carefully climbed into the broken window on the wall, and sneaked into the narrow compartment to come here, his favorite place. From here, he can see the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion below, and of course, there is also the meeting hall. people.

Jack likes to lie between the floors of the ceiling and observe all kinds of visitors through the glass. Most of them come to his aunt to flatter or seek something, or to frame and bribe others. Jack is not interested in their purpose, but he Always admired how skillfully my aunt could deal with them.

   This is the case now, he saw his aunt sitting in the governor's seat, raising her legs and looking at the visitors below the steps, her courtiers.

   "Your Excellency Governor Olivia, I would like to request your arbitration on behalf of the Valsim family and its property, depriving the Corti family of shameless rights and property infringement!"

   "No, Your Excellency Governor, you can't listen to the words of this despicable Valsim, he is framing it! The Falhi mine is our family's asset since ancient times, long before the rise of the first city on this planet!"

   Sure enough, the two nobles were arguing for power in front of their aunt in front of many planetary dignitaries. Jack has seen it here often, and he also knew that his aunt would handle them and make them docile.

   "Do you have any certificates issued by the empire?" Olivia asked calmly while sitting in her seat, unaffected by the quarrel at all.

"This..." The representative of the Corti family suddenly fell silent, "That's too long ago, sir, I think it was thousands of years ago! The documents are long gone, but! Everyone knows that the Corti family is The owner of the vein, there is no doubt about it!"

"Oh? Really?" Olivia smiled lightly, "Then please tell me, Mr. Corti, how did you manage the mine for thousands of years, but now you still haven't finished digging it, not even the deep mines?" Get through?"

  Korti didn't speak, but Jack snickered when he saw his livid face.

   "Other mines in the same period have been excavated long ago, but yours has not? Could it be that you have not developed it out of environmental protection?" She smiled, "Until now?"

   This caused a burst of laughter from everyone present, and this made Corti even more embarrassed. Olivia leaned back in the chair, staring at the two people in the audience with her beautiful green eyes.

   "You are not something since ancient times. You have mastered this mine for a hundred years. When the former traitor governor was in power, you got it through bribery, and then spent money to buy the media to create momentum for thousands of years."

   "If you want to deceive me, Mr. Corti, you are very wrong." Olivia said, and then gestured to Valcim who was aside.

   "This mine of yours was acquired improperly, and it was obtained in collusion with traitors. Out of benevolence and tolerance, I will not pursue your previous crimes."

   Olivia said softly, Jack saw Corti bowed his head in shame, or in awe, he was in awe of Olivia's forgiveness, now he won't refute.

   "However, this mine can no longer be controlled by you. It will be handed over to the Valkum family for management, and it will be handed over from now on, Valkum." Her green eyes looked over.

   "Yes, Your Excellency." Valkham, who had obtained the ore lode, stepped forward gratefully, with respect shining in his eyes.

"You will take over this mine and enjoy its power, but I hope you can cooperate with the Navarra family in Starport to complete the shipbuilding index requirements recently issued by the Terra government for the Indomitable Expedition." She smiled, "If If you are willing, I believe you will get more appreciation and rewards."

"Of course, Madam Governor, I will be honored to serve you, and my miners and furnaces will start working immediately." Valkham replied, raising his palm, and Olivia also nodded to him with a smile , ask him to step down.

  The radiant Valkum immediately returned to the crowd. He was very satisfied, and although he lost the mineral vein, he got family continuity and forgiveness in exchange for her, and Corti also bowed to her, and then retreated into the crowd.

  Olivia sat on the throne, and she looked around at the people below, "Archbishop Isfan, and Sir Balta, bless the cathedral's renovation and preparation work is complete? I hope my nephew's engagement ceremony can be held as soon as possible."

   "No, not yet."

  Jack looked at that person. It wasn't Archbishop Isfan or Ser Baltar, but his uncle, that annoying Tirivan Johnson.

  He has always disliked this guy. He hates Aunt Olivia and himself. He is jealous of his aunt's position and his future inheritance rights. He keeps telling his aunt that he should be fired and exiled, but the aunt always says that the planet needs his family and talents.

   I really don't know what talent this guy has to praise besides being annoying.

Tirivan stepped forward, and he came to the throne, "The repair of the church requires a lot of money, but we lack the budget and funds, and you have refused to provide more money, have you? Horses can't run without eating grass .”

Lie, Jack murmured in his heart, Auntie had already increased the budget for the project several times, but every time it could not bring any effective progress, these guys greedy the money, and then asked Auntie for more, so she Refuse to continue funding.

  How did this guy brazenly talk about it? Jack cursed inwardly.

   "There is also the stonemason's union. They don't have enough pure marble, so they can't continue to carve. Jack should postpone the engagement ceremony."

   Tirivan said arrogantly, Olivia smiled impassively on the throne, and raised her hand as a signal.

   "I don't think this is a problem. I invited Master Mogrim. He and his people are proficient in construction and fund management."

  Olivia said, Moglim stepped on his short but solid figure and walked up, he smiled and nodded to Olivia.

   "Yes, we can use speedstone for carving. After proper quenching and smelting, that kind of rock can also achieve the same effect as pure marble, and the price is less than half."

  Mogrim stroked his beard with a smile on his face, "Besides, I can also check the account to find out where our money has been spent."

   "Dwarves are very sensitive to gold, just like in the fairy tale, when the dwarf chisel clangs, gold gushes out like a fountain."

   "Great, now you have let an alien take over us, just like accepting that lowly woman." Tirivan said displeased, his words were full of contempt.

   "Nice job, my niece."

   "Everyone, leave." Olivia stood up and said, her words were quickly echoed, the noble families present all left, they hurried out of the gate, and soon they were the only ones left here.

  Jack was lying on the ceiling, frowning and staring at Tirivan. Olivia stepped off the throne and came in front of him.

   "Uncle." She greeted.

   "Niece." He reluctantly responded after a long silence, which didn't mean what it should have at all.

   "First of all, Master Mogrim's group is a sub-human group certified by the empire. It is legal and invited by me to be a tutor for my nephew. I hope you can respect him."

  Olivia's words only got Tirivan snorted contemptuously. He glanced at Morgrim and said nothing.

   "You are so reluctant because of my nephew's fiancee, right?" Olivia said, "You think he should marry your daughter."

   "My daughter is of pure noble blood, and that girl."

   "Vinyanal." Mogrim reminded kindly.

   "This vile woman."

  His words made Jack understand the truth, he angrily punched the ceiling below him heavily, which caused the ceiling to make a sound, Olivia looked up, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

   "Her family, the Lasenia family is just a car maker! A group of businessmen, nouveau riche and lowly outsiders, but you want our family's blood to have an affair with them?"

   "I don't see how marrying her will affect our family, uncle." Olivia said calmly, "The Lasenia family is very talented and an excellent family."

   "And my nephew Jack loves her, that's the point."

  Aunt Olivia's words made Jack laugh by himself, and he lay on it in relief, looking at his aunt's stalwart figure with longing.

  Tilfan widened his eyes and took a step forward, "The Zhuang Sen family has been the governor of the planet for generations, and we have been since the birth of this planet."

"Our family blood is always pure and innocent, the blood of the Zhuang Sen family." He snapped, "That low bastard, she is nothing, her family is nothing, you should have let him marry me Daughter, pure Jonson's blood, and you pollute it!"

   "That's enough, Uncle." Olivia frowned, "I know what you want to do, you want Jack to marry your daughter, and then control him, right? Empty him."

"That kid doesn't understand anything, he needs guidance, and I can guide him." Tirivan said, "Our family is very weak now, and there must be a strong hand to lead him, to lead the Jonson family, and I will teach Him, let him become a qualified governor."

   "I don't want to spoil your fun, Uncle, but I'm still alive, right? So don't bother you, I'll teach Jack."

   "I'm afraid he will need more time to learn."

   "It doesn't matter, I can live a long time."

"It won't be long with me." Tierfan walked forward and almost posted Olivia, "Remember little girl, after thousands of years, love and us will disappear, and only the family will pass away." Eternal, and I, shall lead it then."

  Olivia looked at him, calm but extremely solemn, "For the sake of you being my uncle, I will pretend that I didn't hear the threat just now. Now, leave."

  Auntie said seriously, her voice sounded like a queen's. Tierfan watched her growl before turning around and leaving the conference hall with quick steps.

   "Have you heard enough? Come down."

   After a while, Olivia said, Jack knew she called him again, but he didn't hide any more, so he flipped over deftly, slipped from the stone pillar and fell to the ground.

   "Look, it's not just that my ears are bad. I remember it very clearly. I asked you to read in the study, right?" Mogrim stroked his beard and said with a smile.

  Jack walked up, and he came in front of Olivia, who patted his head lovingly, "You should listen to Master Morgrim, not come here to listen to our quarrel."

   "You should exile that guy."

   "I want to too, but I can't, the planet needs him and his family."

  Olivia said, it was obvious that Jack was upset, she smiled again, "I can see that you are tired of reading, right?"

   "Then let us find something safer and interesting for you, go back and change your clothes, and I will take you to Starport to meet him, Vito."

   "Vito Constantine? Supreme Marshal!" Jack's eyes lit up immediately.

   "Yes, that's him, do you remember the story I told you about him?"

  Jack nodded.

"Then go back and change your clothes. He's coming soon. It's not polite at all to keep guests waiting." Olivia patted him on the shoulder, and Jack ran away immediately after responding, without even waiting for Ollie Via allows.

   But she just stood in front of the throne with a smile and looked at his back. Mogrim stroked his beard, "The child's future will not be smooth."

   "And I will **** him." Olivia said, "As long as I am still alive."

  At this time, above the planet Victoria, the battleship descended into the atmosphere and stirred up a large vortex, and the situation that Victoria had been silent for ten years was also stirred up with his arrival.
