Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 7 "Lawyers"

There are three extraordinary abilities of "Lawyers". The first is spiritual enhancement, the second is excellent thinking logic and the ability to unravel the information and grasp the key points.

The third ability, which is also the core ability of a "lawyer", is "extraordinary eloquence".

Possessing extraordinary eloquence and the ability to persuade others, and being able to distort or guide the target's thinking to a certain extent, making people feel friendly and willing to believe.

As Primarch, he was bound to conquer Vostroya.

Of course, not all Primarchs conquered their worlds. Even before Horus awakened his genetic memory, he was just a gangster boy and had not unified Cosonia.

After awakening, he returned to the empire.

Regardless of the status of the other Primarchs, Nimrod has decided to conquer Vostroya and expand to other planets if the opportunity arises.

At the same time, he also has to climb along the sequential path, starting with playing the role of "lawyer" and digesting the potion.

After drinking the potion, you will not absorb all of it. If you want to obtain all the power contained in it, you need to act.

When acting, you need to start from the name of the potion and interpret it to obtain its core symbolism and specific imagery.

Nimrod believed that playing the role of "lawyer" did not necessarily mean engaging in a literal profession.

Taking advantage of the rules to gain benefits is like playing the role of a "lawyer". If you can find loopholes in the rules and exploit them, the effect will be even better.

Whether his interpretation is correct will be known in due time. Extraordinary people will definitely be able to sense the digestion of the acting method.

[Based on my understanding in my previous life, and what I saw and heard in Tezwok, the only rule of the Lower Nest is that matters within the dome are decided by the arbitrator, and there are no rules outside the dome.]
When Nimrod thought of this, he immediately came up with a plan for his next action.

[As before, quickly occupy the factory.

If the arbitrator intervenes, use your "extraordinary eloquence" to persuade him.]
Thinking of this, he called Rollslev and asked about the situation of the Khanty-Mansi Dome.

He chose as his target the largest factory in the dome, the Magnito Steel Works, as all the factories in the dome relied on the steel it produced.

Mittal Steel, the plastic-steel composite material produced by Magnito, even flows into the upper nest and is used as the material for making carapace armor.

The man who controls the steel plant is Gorsk "Iron Fist", who has more than a thousand thugs under his command.

Nimrod also learned of Tezwok's method of timekeeping. A day on Vostronia, like on other hive worlds, was called a work cycle.

Each work cycle is 33 hours long and is divided into three shifts: Baini shift, Curie shift and Yekai shift.

The workers who go to the nest strictly work in three shifts.

Working hours in lower nest factories vary but are generally longer than those in upper nest factories.

Nimrod decided to launch the attack at the end of the Night Kai shift. Although the workers had irregular schedules, the guards worked in three shifts.

The last hour before their shift change, when the stars obscured by industrial dust rise, is when they are most relaxed.

In the second to last hour of the night class, Ning Lu stood on the platform, tapped his brows twice with his fingers, and looked at the people below.

A person's emotional state, or "astral body," will have some external manifestations.

Extraordinary people with clairvoyance can judge the health and emotional state of others by the different thickness, brightness, and color of their aura.

Whereas before he had examined his own physical state, now he was observing the overall mood of others.

Most psykers also possess this ability, which the Thousand Sons call Ethereal Sight.

Ningluo glanced at the crowd, and as expected, everyone's aura was mainly thick black, and they were afraid of themselves.

Some of them, especially those like Rawlslev who had tasted good food before, had a faint orange tinge of anticipation in their aura.

He tapped his brows twice again, closed his spiritual vision, and then spoke.

"You should have understood in the past two days that the more you do, the more you will receive, but you don't know how much you will receive."

"In the past, you followed the boss, fighting for your life and death, but in the end, you just got a few meals, and most of the time you couldn't even get enough to eat."

"It will be different from now on. As long as you are capable, you can eat anything. I brought back a giant rat and a Lasford today."

Nimrod's voice became low and he tempted everyone.

"Think about it, a mouthful of rat meat and a sip of Lasford."

The subordinates were attracted by the scene described by the new "lawyer", and the corresponding picture emerged in their minds, and they swallowed subconsciously.

Rawlslev was the first to raise his head, his eyes full of longing. The people around him were influenced and raised their heads as well.

In the end, everyone looked at the boss with a glimmer of hope.

Ninglu raised his hand and waved it vigorously: "Let's go!"

"Capture the Magnito Steel Works, eat meat and drink wine!"

Everyone enthusiastically followed suit and shouted, "Capture the Magnito Steel Works, eat meat and drink wine!"

When Nimrod saw that everyone had turned around, he retracted his arm and tapped his brow twice.

Sure enough, I found that everyone's mood had changed, and the dominant color of their aura turned into red, which was passionate and excited.

A sidereal hour later, rapid gunfire was heard at the Magnito Steel Plant.

After killing the guard at the door, Nimrod rushed into the factory first and saw a tall, unshaven man on the iron platform staring at him.

The sleeve of his right arm was exposed, revealing his steel prosthetic limb.

"Nimrod."

Gorsk said with conviction, and he spat.

"Boy, you're really capable of killing the Vulture."

"But I'm not a loser like 'Vulture'. I'm going to catch you today, enjoy you, and then sell you to the upper nest."

What responded to him was a beam of light. Gorsk saw Ningluo raising his gun and thought to himself that it was not good. He only had time to use his iron right arm to block his body.

With a sharp and crisp hissing sound, a big hole was shot out in the steel arm, revealing the copper wire and steel plate inside.

"You kid, you dare to attack me by surprise."

Gorsk swung his arm and clenched it hard, and his iron fist spun and shot towards Nimrod.

He used the mechanical arm that he bought from the Finder family at a high price to raid and kill several powerful men in the lower nest.

Gorsk knew that Ningluo was an accurate shooter and he was almost killed by him with one shot just now, so he used the Iron Fist killing move directly, which he would only use when facing the most powerful enemies.

Ninglu held the gun in his left hand and quickly pulled out the chainsaw sword with his right hand, and started it up with a bang.

The structure of the mechanical structure he had obtained before emerged in his mind, and he immediately raised his sword and inserted the blade directly into the connecting rods and joints of the mechanical structure.

The transmission device drove the iron fist forward, but it was stuck by the chainsaw sword.

Two high-speed rotating, almost perpendicular forces interacted with each other. After a few seconds, the iron fist separated from the connecting rod and fell to the ground.

Gorsk was startled and turned and ran.

Just as he took a step, a bright beam of light shot into the back of his head.

After a period of work, Nimrod took control of the Magnito Steel Works.

His men's number increased instead of decreasing. After recruiting some of the "Iron Fist" thugs, he now had nearly 600 fighters under his command.

Ningluo personally led two hundred men into the passage and hunted more than four hundred giant rats, fifty of which were exchanged for more than a hundred bottles of Lasvolt.

He spoke to the group while the broth was cooking.

"As I said, everyone who participates in this battle will have enough meat and a glass of wine."

"Newcomers can only drink soup. If you want to eat meat, drink wine. Work harder next time."

He activated his spiritual vision and observed everyone's aura, and found that the subordinates he brought with him all had an orange glow of warmth and satisfaction, and the looks they gave him changed from fear to awe.

The newly recruited personnel felt a mixture of fear, hope, and envy.

Nimrod nodded with satisfaction. He felt that his spirit had become more lively.

[The "lawyer" role was successfully played, and the potion was partially digested.]
Then he came to the control room, locked the door, and with a thought, black mist rose, his spirituality became lighter, and his "star spirit body" left his body, and in an instant he arrived at the "Land of Disorder".

　The role of the potion is to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the potion and enhance spirituality and extraordinary abilities.

　　For example, the "Lawyer" potion's digestion relies on exploiting rules, especially loopholes. Naturally, gaining recognition from others will accelerate digestion. Malis, a lesser Chaos God, possesses an extremely high status and immense power. However, his chaotic nature leads him to rely on force to indiscriminately kill, with no regard for order or rules. Therefore, even after drinking the "Lawyer" potion, he would never be able to digest it. In contrast, an ordinary lawyer might be able to digest a major case (planetary-level) from preparation to conclusion, while a member of the Ministry of Justice might take a dozen days, or a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a month.
