I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 70 How to Become Younger
Lower Nest, the eighth district, in the alley adjacent to the ruins district.

Laiya and the two mice stared at each other.

Yesterday, the Shushu settlement welcomed people from the Water-Snatching Gang.

The other party sent a lot of food and drinks, saying that they came to apologize to Elder Shushu.

Based on the principle of reciprocity, Elder Shushu arranged a banquet.

After the banquet, the one-eyed leader of the Sheshui Gang found the elder and said that he wanted to join forces with an important figure who had influence in the Eighth District, and asked Shushu to help make the connection.

Elder Shushu immediately refused.

Please, we are just a bunch of farming mice. We have survived until now by relying on our ugly and cute looks and hardworking and simple nature. How could we know any important people?

The one-eyed boss didn't force us, but just said that he had heard the news and it wouldn't be long before the cleanup operation in the ruins area would be launched. By then, we, the reptiles in the ruins area, would have a hard time.

Elder Shushu was shocked inside but remained calm on the surface.

After sending the one-eyed boss away, the elder immediately sent people to inquire about the news and confirm whether the cleanup operation really existed.

If the news is true, the rats are ready to go to the shelter for protection.

That shelter is not suitable for human survival.

Humans like Leia who make a living in the rat settlement can only fend for themselves in the ruins area.

Leia came to the edge of the eighth district today, both to inquire about the news of the cleanup operation and to find a way out for herself.

As a mutant, she will most likely become the target of cleaning.

They were either stuffed into the subhuman army of the Planet Defense Force, or forced to flee into the Underhive and become even more deformed mutant creatures.

Before coming here to contact Li Nuo, Laiya had contacted a dozen other Xiachao people with whom she had daily trade dealings.

From what they said, Leia confirmed that a cleanup operation was about to begin.

When Leia asked if she could be provided with shelter, the people in the Lower Nest disconnected the communication and blocked their own communication codes.

Now, the only person Leia can turn to for help is Li Nuo.

She held the datapad, her fingertips hovering over the button that issued the communication request.

After struggling for a few minutes, she finally chose to release her fingers and did not send the communication request.

Leia raised her shoulders, then dropped them weakly, and sighed in frustration:
"Li Nuo finally got through the ordeal with the cultists and his work is back on track. Although he seems to have a close relationship with a certain family, he might lose his precious job in order to protect a mutant like me. So, forget it. I won't cause any trouble for Li Nuo."

Xiao Zhuang shook his head depressedly:

"Okay, let's go back. At worst, I can dig a hole for you and store a lot of food and water for you. You can come out after the storm has passed."

Xiaozhuang tried to leave, but Dazhuang stopped him.

"Wait, don't leave in a hurry." Da Zhuang pinched his beard with his nails and said in a deep voice:

"Leya, other traders look at you with obvious disgust and contempt, and a little fear. They look down on mutants and are worried that they will be infected by you, but they have to trade with you because of the temptation of profit."

Da Zhuang paused:
"But Li Nuo is different. I don't see any negative emotions towards you in his eyes, not at all. I think the relationship between you and him is more like friends who help each other, rather than just trading partners. You should try to give him a call. Even if he won't protect you, he will definitely give you useful advice."

Xiao Zhuang nodded, not quite understanding:

"That sounds reasonable. Brother, what's wrong with your brain? I can't say that. Laiya, just listen to your brother and call Li Nuo. Maybe he can protect you."

"Then I'll try." Laiya pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds, then clicked on the communication interface and mustered up the courage to press the communication button.

"drop."

The call was connected and a strange face appeared on the call screen.

The man and two mice were stunned.

Xiao Zhuang asked:

"Are you Li Nuo? Why did you change your face again?"

Li Nuo has a mask in his hand that can change his face, and Shushu and Laiya know this.

The figure on the communication screen said in an electronic synthesized voice:

"Hello, I am Mr. Li Nuo's housekeeping robot, Brandi. The master is doing something important and cannot be disturbed. I will forward your communication to the master. What can I do for you?"

"What is a housekeeping robot?"

"I do not know."

The two mice looked at each other, confused.

Leia did know about domestic servants. It was said that they were semi-mechanized servants that only the rich people in the Upper Nest could afford.

But isn’t Li Nuo from Xiachao?
"Sorry, I think I dialed the wrong number." Leia felt uneasy and was about to end the call.

Brandi says:
"You didn't call the wrong number, Miss Leia. This is Mr. Li Nuo's communication channel. He purchased encryption service for this channel. You can safely tell me your latest discoveries in the ruins area. If you have any documents to submit, I will receive them on your behalf."

"Wow, encrypted communications, sounds really cool."

Xiao Zhuang let out a strange cry, and Da Zhuang immediately covered his mouth.

"Be quiet and let Leia communicate with Brandi. Maybe she can really be saved this time."

Although I don't know what a household robot is, there is no cheap robot.

What's more, Brandi in the communication picture is so exquisite.

This is not a robot servant, it's simply a simulated human!

Judging from her appearance alone, Brandi's clean and tidy image is enough to instantly kill all the robot servants that Dazhuang has ever seen.

The fact that Li Nuo could afford such a mechanical servant showed that his true identity was definitely not simple. What the three of them saw was most likely just one side of him, not all of him.

Da Zhuang gave Laiya an encouraging look.

Leia's heartbeat quickened and her breathing became erratic.

She tried to calm down and keep her voice steady as she told the story of the Water Intake Gang's visit to the Rat Settlement. When she mentioned seeking asylum, her heart pounded uncontrollably, and even her voice trembled a little.

Brandi's electronic synthesizer voice is as peaceful as ever:
"Your information and request have been recorded. I will convey it to the master truthfully. Do you have any other matters?"

"No, no. Thank you."

"This communication is over. Thank you for your call. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The communication screen disappears.

Leia raised her hand, gently stroked the silver-gray scales on her forehead, and whispered:

"Li Nuo can already afford a domestic servant, will he still help a mutant like me..."

The alley was silent.

...

...

At the same time that Leia and Brandi were communicating, Li Nuo just arrived at Baiguo Manor.

He made full preparations for the upcoming negotiations.

First, find a professional agent to register the company and obtain a patent certificate as quickly as possible. Then buy some equipment and package yourself as the company's negotiating representative. Finally, turn on the do not disturb function on the data board to prevent incoming calls from interrupting your meeting with the manor manager.

But when he really arrived at the gate of the manor, something unexpected happened.

Someone arrived here first and was about to follow the manor manager into the gate.

This group is mainly composed of Imperial Judicial Department arbitrators equipped with heavy grenade launchers, and their vehicles are black armored vehicles.

The Judge of the Ministry of Justice wears a black combat uniform and windbreaker, with the Ministry of Justice's Libra pattern prominently displayed on the curved surface of the shoulder armor.

He is the captain of this arbitration team, with a light gray slicked back hair and a gleaming monocle on his right eye.

Behind him, the Law Enforcer served as the deputy captain of the team, wearing a uniform similar to that of the X-Men, looking very heroic.

The rest of the team are Sentinels equipped with riot shields and heavy bolters.

This is not over yet.

They were just passengers in the first armored vehicle.

The person who got out of the second armored vehicle almost scared everyone, including Li Nuo and the manor manager.

First up is the Black Ship Alliance's psychic expert, who has the Star Tongue Court emblem on his chest armor and a force field staff in his right hand.

The second person to get out of the car was a silent sister wearing classical style armor.

A sharp and indifferent gaze shot out from the observation window of the helmet, blowing through everyone like a biting cold wind.

As soon as Sister Silent appeared, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely solemn.

Li Nuo felt a chill in his heart, and had the illusion that he would be taken into a car and thrown into a dark prison.

"Pfft!"

The manager's legs went weak and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his body shaking uncontrollably:

"Sir... We are just honest workers... We definitely don't hide any illegal psychics..."

When the manor employees inside the gate saw this scene, they hurriedly knelt down, buried their heads on the ground and dared not say a word.

"Pa, pa, pa." The judge clapped his hands lightly, and the heavy gloves made a series of crisp sounds:

"Everyone, stand up. We heard that psychic mold appeared here. We just happened to pass by today and came to take a look."

Just take a look, don’t you know that the Imperial Law Department and the Black Ship Alliance appearing at the same time can scare people to death?

Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not coming for him.

The managers and employees stood up and bowed to welcome the Imperial Law Department team and the Sisters of Silence.

Glancing at the roadside, the manager noticed Li Nuo under the shade of a tree.

"You must be Mr. Li Nuo. I'm so sorry, I'm afraid we can't receive you today. If it's convenient for you, I'd like to change the meeting time to tomorrow..."

The manager stepped forward to negotiate with Li Nuo.

Behind the manager, the Sister of Silence is about to enter.

The nun glanced at Li Nuo and made a few gestures to the psychic expert who was acting as an interpreter.

The Psychic Expert and Judge said:
"My Lord said that visiting the manor is not an official action, so try not to disturb other people's normal work."

The judge nodded and whistled at the estate manager:

"Let your guests come in. We'll just take a quick look at the psychic mold and leave. It won't take up too much of your time."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding. I am very grateful. Your coming is the honor of my life~"

The manager bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and invited Li Nuo to enter the manor.

Li Nuo followed the Sister of Silence and suddenly became much younger, as honest as a grandson.

The Sisters of Silence can make those around them feel uncomfortable, and even sever a psyker's connection to the Warp.

The members of the Arbitrator Team have become accustomed to the presence of the Sister of Silence.

The employees of the manor were forced to stay away from Sister Silence due to adverse physical reactions and took the initiative to make way for her.

The same goes for the manager, who can only lead the way from five meters away.

Li Nuo didn't dare to offend Sister Silence.

He followed far behind the team, and was invisible twenty meters away from the Sister of Silence.
