Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 430 Last Wish

After a while.

Another transport plane flew to Smelter No. 3, the hatch opened, and Zes's subordinates and their entourage walked out.

Then Zeth discussed things with his subordinates.

Quadrant recognized Belisarius Kaur among the entourage at a glance, while Qin Xia was still looking around.

In Qin Xia's impression, Belisarius Caul was taller than the original body and had been transformed to the point where he could no longer be called a human being.

But it was not until Quadrant met Kohl face to face that Qin Xia discovered that Belisarius Kohl now looked like a young man.

There are no other artificial modifications on the body except the brain-computer interface.

Caul even had to wear protective gear in order to survive in the harsh, toxic environment of Mars.

"Quadrant?"

"Is this you?"

Kohl looked in disbelief at the man in front of him with appendages all over his body, a tall, modified body covered in a red robe.

"Yes, Cawl, this is me," said Quadrant. "But strictly speaking, this is not entirely me. The real me is now in a secret room of a battleship. However, it is different from what you remember. Only my brain and some organs are left."

Kaul looked back and forth in the quadrant. "But when we parted last time, you were still..."

"After we separated, I was transformed into this by Kelbor, and then expelled by him and sent to the 12th Legion to be a recorder." Quadrant said.

Kaur looked stunned.

The Quadrant introduces Qin Xia: "This is the man I follow, and also my best friend, the Lord of the White Knights of the Twelve Legions, the guide of the Primarchs, the Star Crusher in the Secret Battle, the spokesperson of the Legions, and the Redemption of Caliban."

Kaul immediately saluted Qin Xia with a gear, and at the same time made a joke to Quadrant: "Thank you for introducing so many friends to me."

"This is not the first time we meet." Qin Xia returned the gift with the Sky Eagle Salute.

"It should be, but before that I could only admire you among the crowd." Kohl said and looked towards the quadrant again, with sadness in his eyes.

Kaur tried to be as humorous as possible so that Quadrant would not feel that he was overreacting to what was happening to him, which would cause Quadrant to recall the fear or other negative emotions he had felt when he was in a tragic situation.

"Don't worry." Quadrant told Kahl calmly, "I'm used to it. Besides, in my opinion, the core of human nature is not our external body, but our inner core. Kelborhar doesn't seem to have undergone much transformation, but he can't be called a human being at all."

Hearing his friend's sharp comments on the Martian Casting General, Caul subconsciously looked around, as if to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

From this action, Qin Xia realized that Kelbohar must have used some special means to consolidate his rule.

And the fact that Quadrant gave a direct and sharp review of General Casting also shows that he is really not good at anything other than scientific research.

Kaur and Quadrant talk about the past.

From the conversation, Qin Xia heard that at this time Kaul was still a person who advocated preserving the natural human body and was obsessed with his natural body.

It is for this reason that Kohl is now appearing here in protective clothing, and his body does not seem to have much prosthetic modification.

Kaul's mentor was also a biological sage. He did not interfere too much with his apprentice's persistence, which was completely different from Kalbohar.

But Kaul's mentor also had other plans...

This is a matter of the future.

"Call. Did you forget we have work to do?"

Szeth's men called out for their apprentices.

Kaul suddenly remembered something and said goodbye to Quadrant: "Next time you come to Mars, go to my mentor and we will..."

"I won't come to Mars again." Quadrant suddenly said something that surprised both Kaul and Qin Xia.

When Kohl wanted to hear Quadrant's explanation, Kohl's mentor came over, saluted Quadrant and Qin Xia, and then dragged Kohl away.

This group of people seemed to be busy with something important. It must have been a difficult decision for them to rush over to let Kohl and Quadrant talk, so Qin Xia did not persuade them to stay.

"Goodbye." Zeth came to the quadrant and saluted respectfully.

After the Quadrant nodded slowly, Zeth turned around and returned to the tarmac.

After the group of people left, the supervisor who received the news came out of the smelting facility. He looked a little surprised, and obviously did not expect that so many big shots would come to the smelter on this day.

"Where else do you want to go?" Qin Xia asked with a smile.

Quadrant looked serious, but his voice was still low and gentle: "I have one last unfulfilled wish, which is to completely sever the master-disciple relationship with Kelber."

"Then what are the rules for you Mechanicus people to sever the master-apprentice relationship? Do you go through the procedures and submit an application to the management department?"

"There are no procedures, no rules, because there has never been a master and apprentice who severed their relationship on Mars."

Quadrant explained.

"On Mars, knowledge is equal to power and wealth. People will monopolize knowledge just as they monopolize power and wealth. Therefore, a mentor will often choose his apprentices with extreme caution."

“Like a parent and a child.”

"The people on Mars are all artificially bred, without parents or blood relatives, but the hereditary inheritance of power and wealth still exists."

"Severing the relationship between a master and a disciple is appalling."

Hearing this, Qin Xia could probably understand the meaning of the quadrant. Apprentices were like the offspring carefully selected by the mentor. Apprentices had to stand on the mentor's side, and it was natural for them to stand on the mentor's side, because the wealth and power they would possess would definitely come from the mentor.

There may be some exceptions, but it is truly appalling that there are exceptions to the extent of the Quadrant.

"Kelbohar has his own rules."

"He once told me after he had reformed me that if I wanted to break up with him, there were only two ways."

"The first one is that I die."

"The second option is that he dies." Quadrant's eyes revealed extreme determination and decisiveness.

"In this way, with my blood or his, I can wash away the experiences and grudges of more than a decade of coexistence."

After hearing this, only two words came to Qin Xia's mind: hardcore.

"So, Lord White Knight, I actually couldn't go to Mars with you and then fly back on a transport plane from the beginning." Quadrant said, "I have to stay here, end my relationship with Kelbohar, and then leave Mars to continue to serve you, or... stay here forever."

Qin Xia scratched his neck in annoyance and frowned, "Why are you so stubborn? Can you kill Kelber or what, or do you want me to help you kill Kelber? Besides, why do you have to follow the path Kelber gave you? Can't you just not contact him?"

"I can't help it." Quadrant's body movements also became a little irritated, but his voice was still extremely calm. "If a person does bad things to me, I can of course just treat him as dog shit on the side of the road. But... Kelber did bad things to me, but he also did good things."

"When Kelber came to Nuceria, I went to see him and called him mentor. He said I was a jerk. Maybe you think so too."

One of the quadrant's appendages points toward the smelter warehouse.

"But who saved me from there? It was Kelber. He noticed me among the countless children on Mars, discovered my talent, trained me, and taught me."

"He would remove my organs and replace them with prosthetics, but he would also carry a spare respirator with him every time he went out, and he would also tell me the truth of life and enlighten me when I was confused."

"I know he does too. Every time he comes to Nukeriya, he thinks from my perspective, reminding me what I should pay attention to and what I should do. He is also being a jerk like he said."

"We are like a pair of father and son who are not on good terms. We hurt each other but can't let go of our old feelings."

Having said that, Quadrant suddenly reached out and scratched the sound-generating device on his face.

He felt that this sound device could not express his emotions at all.

After scratching a few times, Quadrant dropped its arms weakly, just like when it chose to compromise with its new body after being transformed by Kelber.

"I realized that Kelber was heading down a path that I couldn't agree with, and that we would become enemies in the future. And I had to completely sever all ties with him in a way that we could both acknowledge and accept."

The quadrant moves towards Qin Xia.

"Please, Qin Xia."

He no longer called Qin Xia the Lord of the White Knights.

"I have sent a location message to Kelbo. I will confront him at this place, the starting point of all our experiences. Either I will be reborn in this smelter, or I will return everything to him in this smelter."

After saying this, Quadrant quietly waited for Qin Xia's response.

Qin Xia was silent for a moment, then asked, "Since you have already made your decision, why are you still asking me?"

"Because you are not only my best friend, but also my superior." Quadrant said, "I hope you can understand me as a best friend, and allow me as the Lord of the White Knight."

After thinking for about a minute, Qin Xia nodded: "I understand you."

The supervisor on the side listened to the conversation between the two and stood there in a daze like a puppet.

Another transport plane flew in the sky.

Smelter No. 3 welcomed another distinguished guest today.

And this distinguished guest is obviously the person mentioned by Quadrant just now: "I have sent a location message to Kelbo."

The cabin is open.

Only Kelbohar walked out of the dark cabin.

He didn't bring any guards or followers, and didn't seem to be carrying any weapons. He just appeared alone.

Maybe it was carelessness.

Or maybe it's absolute self-confidence.

Kelbohar walked towards the quadrant alone, and ordered the already numb supervisor: "Go and do some brainwashing."

The supervisor left in a daze and dull manner, like a robot servant.

Qin Xia and Quadrant watched the Casting General.

Even Quadrant, who had secretly sent a location message to Kelbo, had never expected Kelbo to come so soon. He thought he had to wait on Mars, but when Kelbo had some free time...

Is the Casting General so free? Qin Xia wanted to ask.

General Zhutou stopped twelve meters away from Quadrant, with his hands behind his back. He first glanced up and down at Quadrant's body, then looked left and right.

"You were standing there at the time." Kelbo had a sneer on his face. "Then I walked down from the transport plane and came to where I am now. I stopped, squatted down, and motioned for you to run over."

The quadrant also recalled the past.

"Then you came running over to me, and I hugged you... At that time, I thought you must be a fool who is easy to control." Kelber's tone suddenly turned cold, "The facts proved that it was true. You could have just left or ignored me, but you still came over as I said and used the method I gave you to sever this relationship."

Quadrant was dragged out of his memories and stared coldly at his former mentor.

Kelbo looked at Qin Xia: "So you want to help him?"

"No, old man." Quadrant moved to the right, gradually increasing the distance between him and Qin Xia. "I will face you alone, just like you said, and use your blood or my blood to wash away all the grudges."

Qin Xia was still figuring out what to do.

First of all, Kelbo will definitely not die. Not only does he have some powerful things that others can't imagine, but he also has an important role. Makado's heartfelt words before were also meant to show that Kelbo cannot die.

Quadrant cannot die, but he just keeps getting stuck in a rut.

After some thought, Qin Xia could only prepare to see the situation first, and by the way, stop Kelbo when he was about to kill Quadrant.

"Please evacuate the innocent people." Quadrant said to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia teleported away, and when he teleported out again, a smelting plant without a fourth person was left to the two people in confrontation.
