Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 6 Olivia Sage

Chen Xi and Rachel descended to the city on the surface of the planet through the orbital elevator of the starport.

Because Rostov II is a planet that has been developed not long ago, there are no hive cities built on it, so the city looks like a normal city with tall buildings.

The people in the city will not be like the poor people in the hive city, who will never see the sun for several lifetimes.

Although most people may think that all Empire worlds are hive worlds due to the works and settings they have come into contact with, in fact, hives are not common in Empire worlds.

Usually, it takes hundreds or even thousands of years to build a hive city, and it requires an astronomical amount of resources to build it. Not to mention, just building a hive city itself is something that the planet needs to spend hundreds of years to prepare and apply for.

Each nest has been carefully designed and planned, and is not built overnight.

In addition to being a large vertical residential city that can accommodate hundreds of millions or even billions of residents, each hive is also a huge factory, fortress and fortress.

Even when a planet is attacked, the hive city's energy facilities still have to provide power for a series of equipment such as planetary shields and city-level void shields.

Generally speaking, a hive world requires the resources of an entire galaxy or even an entire sub-star region, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee that a hive world can operate normally.

"What a beautiful planet! I rarely see green in the imperial world." Chen Xi sincerely praised the scenery he saw.

Although the city below was filled with buildings, green plants could still be seen between many of the buildings. There was even a huge canal running through the city, which made Chen Xi marvel.

Building canals in the city in the interstellar era? Which genius came up with this idea!
"These are the requirements of Sage Olivia. This sage loves plants. Most of the plants in the city were planted by this sage himself, and he provided us with a full set of maintenance techniques and facilities." Rachel explained to Chen Xi, and at the same time felt proud that there was such scenery in the city.

But these words made Chen Xi feel even more strange. A motor oil guy who likes green plants? Why did these words sound so creepy?

Shouldn't the oilman chop up all the bits and pieces of his body and turn them into gears and machinery? What's the point of liking green plants?

"It seems that this sage is very extraordinary. This is the first time I heard that a mechanical priest likes green plants." Chen Xi sighed, and then, under Rachel's guidance, he got on a special car and came to the Governor's Palace.

Although it should be called a mansion, looking at the huge Gothic building in front of him, Chen Xi really finds it difficult to use the word "mansion" to describe a super-large building that covers an area of ​​at least more than ten football fields and is more than a hundred meters high.

Although this is not only the residence of the planetary governor, but also serves as the planetary government administrative agency, it still seems a bit exaggerated.

"The construction of Rostov II was too short, so the Governor's Mansion is very simple. I hope your Excellency will not mind." However, a trace of shame flashed across Rachel's face, as if she really felt that the Governor's Mansion was very simple.

Chen Xi could only take a deep breath and said, "It's okay. As the emperor's subjects, we should abandon all luxury and enjoyment." After that, he, accompanied by Rachel, stepped onto the marble steps carved with exquisite patterns and the emperor's mantra and entered the Governor's Mansion.

Entering the palace, Chen Xi saw a mechanical priest wearing a red holy robe. However, he was very different from the mechanical priests he knew. Apart from a prosthetic eye on his face, a jar of elixir and two mechanical arms that were common on mechanical priests, there were not many signs of modification on this mechanical priest.

Even her face looked very beautiful, and her figure, even though covered by the holy vestments, still looked curvaceous and exquisite. She even looked more feminine than Rachel who was beside Chen Xi at the moment.

Damn, is this still the Oil Man? I don't remember installing the feminine mod!
Chen Xi complained inwardly, but still politely stepped forward and saluted the mechanical priest holding the forged axe. "I guess this must be Sage Olivia? I just heard Miss Rachel introduce you. It's true that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person."

"An Inquisitor can become the governor of a planet. It seems that you are not simple." Olivia looked at the Inquisition Rose Knot on Chen Xi's body and showed an interested look.

"We are merely currency in the Emperor's hands, usable anywhere in the Empire." Chen Xi replied with a cliché, not revealing anything. He also asked Olivia, "I'm curious, what attracted a Mechanicus sage to such a remote world? Is it some ancient relic?"

"As expected of an Inquisitor, your sense of smell is indeed sharp. There are indeed ancient relics from an alien civilization on this planet." Olivia did not hide anything, or in her opinion, this was not something worth hiding: "I was ordered by the Forge World of this star region to mine the black stone on this planet. During the mining process, I discovered an ancient alien relic, and I am currently conducting preliminary excavation.

If the Governor could assign some manpower to me, it would greatly speed up the excavation process, and I would pay him sufficient compensation for it.

The previous Governor-General and I signed a cooperation agreement, but I have to say that the excavation of the ruins requires more manpower than I expected. I hope that the Governor-General can meet my needs."

Chen Xi felt his scalp tingling when he heard Olivia's words. He had already guessed what the ruins on this planet were.

So he asked Olivia, "Sage Olivia, do you know anything about the Necrons?"

"An alien civilization? Sorry, I haven't done any research on this." Sage Olivia searched her database and found no corresponding information.

Hearing what Sage Olivia said, Chen Xi had the urge to slap himself on the head. At the same time, he was also troubled by the novice tasks that Old Man Huang had prepared for him.

TranslateTranslateWhat the fuck is a surprise!
The surprise is that there's a dynasty of the dead buried right under your ass.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi could only reveal a regretful expression and said to Olivia, "I'm afraid I can't fulfill your wish, Sage Olivia."

As he spoke, Chen Xi picked up his Inquisition Rose and solemnly said to Olivia, "In the name of the Inquisitor of the Inquisition's Anti-Xenophobia Convent, I must ask you to suspend the excavation of the alien ruins to avoid irreversible consequences."
