This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 203 The Impatient Old Man Huang
"As an alien, you can actually speak human language?"

The white wolf looked surprised, then asked,
"What's your name? And who is your owner?"

"To be honest, your language isn't considered difficult in the galaxy." The alien looked at the white wolf.
“You may call me Chirk, human. I serve Judge Rostov.”

He looked at Chilke, who didn't eat beef, and then laughed.

"The Alien Inquisitor keeping aliens is indeed a stereotype."

Inquisition stereotypes: The Inquisitors of the Holy Hammer Order have ambiguous relationships with demons.
The Outer Order recruited aliens as their henchmen.
Needless to say, those guys from the Rebels of the Rebellion are another story.

Upon investigation, it was found that nine out of ten Inquisitors were actually leaders of heretical cults.

Some cults were even founded by the judges themselves.
Their purpose is to fish, to attract those with ill intentions.

There have been many things in the past that have caused cult members to break down.

The hardworking cult members diligently completed their KPIs on time every time.

After receiving the honor of meeting the boss

He discovered that the cult leader was an Imperial Inquisitor, and he immediately broke down and was shot dead.

“I serve Rostov, not his pet. Do you understand what employment is? We have an employer-employee relationship.”

Chirk was somewhat annoyed, and his voice became much louder.

"He pays me, and I serve him. It's that simple."

Seeing the alien made him a little excited, and I quickly calmed him down because he didn't want to eat beef.

“OK, OK, you serve Judge Rostov, you are his partner, not his pet.”

Chilke calmed down after hearing this.

"Do you worship the gods?" the white wolf asked with some curiosity.

“Gods?” Chirke repeated the word, then burst into laughter.

Her unbridled manner made it seem as if she were in a multi-ethnic trading market, rather than an imperial fortress.

The other imperial personnel frowned slightly upon seeing this, revealing their displeasure.

But given their status as chosen ones, they merely watched and did not interfere.

"What are your views on the gods?" the white wolf asked.

Chirk shrugged. "I believe in the existence of gods, but I don't worship them. Every being familiar with the warp knows that the trouble they bring outweighs their value."

"I've heard some rumors that your creator was an ancient sage. Is that true?" asked the person who doesn't eat beef.

"Yes, there are many images of ancient saints in the ancient memories of the Chikanti people."

"When the Chikanty were still reptiles, the saints descended from the heavens and used their supreme power to reshape our world and enlighten our ancestors to create the Chikanty."

Chirk readily acknowledged that the Ancient Ones were their creators.
The Qikanti tribe has a low reproductive rate and a low scientific research capacity.
But they have a very long lifespan, longer than the Elven race, and they can also pass on their memories.

The memories of our ancient ancestors are hidden in their blood.
Therefore, they knew many things that happened in distant times.
This includes the ancient sages who created them and helped them ignite the flame of civilization.

During the War of Heaven, they even sent warriors to assist the Ancient Ones in fighting against those powerful undead.

"Do you still remember what the ancient saint looked like?" asked the beef-eating student.

“The saints do not have a definite appearance; we can only see the image of the one we admire most,” Chirke said. “Even the image in our memories is the same; we can only see the most beautiful image.”

Chirk's answer disappointed White Wolf and the guy who didn't eat beef.
I thought this would confirm the truth that the ancient saints were toad people, but it turns out that these ancient saints are all different and have no fixed appearance.

It seems that the ancient saints didn't necessarily look like toad-men.

It must have been the Toad People who saw the Ancient Sage and described him as they believed him to be.

"If you are really curious about the ancient sages, why don't you go and look for their ruins?"

"Perhaps you can find some records about their appearance and lifestyle in the ruins."

After Chilke said this,
White Wolf and the guy who doesn't eat beef noodles looked at each other, then their faces lit up with ecstasy.

This must have triggered a hidden questline!!
Search for the relics of ancient sages, explore the ancient war in heaven, and restore the truth of history.

Just thinking about it is exciting; maybe we can even find a living ancient saint.

Do you know where the ruins of the ancient sages are?

White Wolf spoke urgently, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Once they get the coordinates, the ruins are theirs.

“I don’t know.” Chirke shook his head. “The saints placed seals on their creations before they died, which would obscure prophecies or divination! Some of them would even quietly slip away from our memories!”

"Even their beloved Elven race can hardly remember those mysterious ruins."

Upon hearing this, White Wolf and the guy who doesn't eat beef immediately looked disappointed.

I thought I'd found the relics of an ancient sage and make a fortune!

Seeing their expressions, Chirk grinned and continued,

"Although I do not know the relics of the ancient sages, I can give you a clue."

"Our race is a creation of the ancient sages, and from the moment we were created, our race began to record history."

"Perhaps there are records of the ancient saints in the oldest libraries."

These words made White Wolf and the guy who didn't eat beef's eyes light up.

He hurriedly inquired with Chirke.

Where is your library?

Chirk coughed before continuing.

"It is buried deep underground in my ancestral homeland and is maintained by a unique secret method, so that the books inside will never decay."

"Unfortunately, my race was invaded by another race and forced to leave our homeland to wander among the stars."

"Before leaving their homeland, our ancestors sealed the entrance to the library and hid it to protect it."

"As long as you can help the Qikanti clan reclaim their home planet, we can break the seal and let you in to look up information."

White Wolf: "…………"

I don't eat beef: "…………"

Isn't this bait way too obvious?

It's obvious they want them to restore the kingdom of the Qikandi clan in exchange for clues to the ancient sacred ruins.

Chirk noticed that the two were silent, so he ignored them.

He sat down on the ground, draped his robe over his crossed legs, and took out a leather bag.

Then she took out some smelly ration sticks from the bag and began to chew them.

The home planet of the Chikanti tribe has been occupied for an unknown period of time, so there's no use in worrying.

For Chirk, the fact that these humans are unwilling to help is simply a matter of maintaining the status quo, with no real loss.

If these humans were willing to help the Chicanti reclaim their home planet,
Chirk would naturally try to persuade the elders to allow these humans into the ancient library.

Of course, if you don't let the other party in,
I'm afraid the Qikanti clan will be driven out again this afternoon, just as they moved back to their home planet this morning.

White Wolf and the person who doesn't eat beef started discussing it.

He then posted about it on the warband channel, seeking opinions from other members.

"I agree first. This looks like a long-term mission chain. You're guaranteed a Golden Eagle Medal if you complete it to the end."

"The ruins of an ancient sage! I wonder what rare treasures they hold!!"

"The problem is that we need to help the Chicanti reclaim their home planet, but we don't even know what race drove them away! It feels a bit overwhelming to fight a planetary war."

"Can't we hire other armies? Do we have to fight them all by ourselves?"

"If all else fails, we can ally with Mars and split the profits 50/50 with those tech geeks. We're guaranteed to make a profit anyway."

"........."

Players had a very heated discussion about this.
Ultimately, the majority of players agreed to the deal.

After all, the Old Ones are the pinnacle of Warhammer Online, and the relics they left behind are certainly extremely valuable.

If you can conquer one or two ancient ruins and acquire their riches and ancient artifacts,

The Witcher Chapter is destined to soar to the top and become the leading player organization.

Of course, internal agreement within the warband alone is not enough.
We still need to seek guidance from a mentor.

After all, the rules clearly stated this when entering the game.
Once important plot points are involved, the leader must issue instructions; no one can act without authorization.

White Wolf and the Beef-Eating Guy sorted out the matter and submitted a report to Xiling.

…………

Qin Yun was currently inspecting the soon-to-be-completed Terra 01 space city.
Engineers, technological sages, cardinals, and others accompanied him as they inspected the space city.

In the void, countless magnificent machines are working day and night, welding massive steel structures, filling them with marble, and completing the final finishing touches.

Life support systems and gravity fields have been activated in all completed areas.

Walking in the space city is no different from being on the ground, allowing humans to live a normal life.

The main structure of Terra 01, the void city, is a sphere.

The sphere contains an energy reactor, a life support system, a gravity field generator, and other devices.

The residents' dwellings and factories are built on the surface of the main structure, extending continuously into the void.

Although this magnificent void city has not been officially declared complete, many Terran residents have already been relocated there.

Compared to the bulky surface nests,

The soon-to-be-completed space city will be even more suitable for living and working.

The roads in the space city are planted with greenery and flowers, making it lush, vibrant, and full of life.

Each residential community is equipped with facilities such as parks, squares, and churches according to the population ratio, taking into account the physical and mental health of residents in all aspects.

Even their living environment has been greatly improved, with a family of three now having a room of over 100 square meters.

You have to understand, in Terra, even someone of high status...
The only place they could get to live was a single room of about ten square meters.

After all, there are too many people in Terra.

It's considered good if dozens of people are crammed into one room.

The Ministry of the Interior's employees, who have been on the payroll for generations, still live in three-story dormitory-style dormitories.

It's easy to imagine how bloated Terra's population had become. The moment Qin Yun stepped out of the port and appeared, a tsunami of cheers erupted.

"saint."

"saint."

Countless people were shouting at the top of their lungs.

Upon receiving the news, the locals spontaneously lined both sides of the road to wait for him.
Many people were still holding flowers they had bought at high prices.

It's important to know that although some people in the virtual city of Terra 01 have already started businesses such as flower nurseries and tree seedling cultivation,

However, so far, production has been very low, and demand exceeds supply in the market.

For most people, flowers remain a luxury.

The reason they were willing to spend their life savings on flowers was...
It was entirely out of worship and faith in the 'saint'.

Many Terra residents have lived in the hive city since the moment they were born.

Most people live in a very fixed area.
The communities, factories, and churches are basically the same places, and there won't be much change.

Moreover, these people live in extreme poverty.

The things they used were all very old and worn out.
Because they simply can't afford to buy new ones.

The living and eating conditions were extremely poor; several families were crammed into a tiny house of just over ten square meters.

They eat nutritional pastes made from promethazine or protein blocks made from fast-growing insects.

If we can catch the mutated giant rat hiding in the bottom nest, then we can have a meat feast.

They need to work more than 14 hours a day to get enough food.
Whenever I have a spare moment, I have to go to church to pray and offer my meager savings.

Their lives were truly monotonous, and their tragic fates could be seen at a glance.

No one cares whether they live or die, or about the education of their descendants.
In the eyes of the former Terran elites, the only value of these lower-class people was their cheap labor.
So whether these people study or not is irrelevant to them.

Until Qin Yun's sudden emergence,
The factory's benefits have improved, working hours have been reduced, and there are days off every week.

They were able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and clean, uncontaminated meat.

New items began to be added to the house, and the clothes on my body became brand new and clean.

The children in the family were all sent to school to study subjects such as history, religion, physics, and chemistry.

His entire demeanor is like that of a completely different person compared to before.

People's lives have become richer and no longer as dull and boring as before.

Restaurants emerged, night market stalls appeared, and all sorts of shops catering to our basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation appeared.

People began discussing the empire's politics and current events at late-night food stalls and over drinks.

They boasted lavishly about the empire's military and political affairs at the dinner table.

Upon learning of the victory, he couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls of wine in excitement, and then, with great enthusiasm, he began to discuss the state of the nation.

Upon learning of a defeat on a particular battlefield, they vehemently denounced those who ate meat as despicable.

They think even a dog would fight better than those guys.

Upon learning of the Dark Eldar's raid on human planets, they were all filled with indignation.

He shouted that one day, the human empire would find the Comoros and kill the entire family of those Dark Eldar.

All these changes are thanks to the reforms promoted by Qin Yun.

Therefore, when they learned that the 'sage' had come to inspect the space city,
They spontaneously gathered together, holding flowers, to express their gratitude to Qin Yun for everything he had done.

“You are more popular than the Primarch! Look at the cheering crowd; they are moved to tears the moment your gaze falls upon them.”

Trajan, standing beside Qin Yun, was astonished to see the people on both sides of the street, their faces streaked with tears, performing the Eagle salute, and shouting that they wanted to donate their hearts.

The privileged class now calls for the 'saint' to be killed, considering him the empire's number one traitor, and advocating that the Primarch remove him from his position and dethrone him.

There were so many of these voices that Trajan even thought the common people wouldn't have a good impression of the 'saint'.

Who would have thought that a sage would be so popular?

"It's a very simple principle: if you keep the people in your heart, the people will naturally keep you in their hearts as well."

"If you regard the people as enemies, then the people will naturally regard you as enemies as well."

Qin Yun smiled and waved to the crowd while answering Trajan.

"Those in high positions should always remember that they should serve the people, not the other way around."

"Ten thousand years have passed, and the human empire should not be like this."

"Unfortunately, in this vast empire, not a single person remembers the Emperor's grand vision."

“He allows His most beloved people to sink and suffer in hell, and even proclaims this as loyalty.”

"Your words seem to have a hidden meaning. Are you criticizing the Guards?" Trajan asked humbly. "If so, the Guards accept your criticism."

Trajan would definitely not give a friendly look to anyone else.

The problem is that sages can actually complain to emperors.

Trajan is now worried that if he offends the saint, the royal guards will be dismissed and they will even lose their jobs guarding the palace.

Over the course of ten thousand years, they had many opportunities to turn the tide and guide the human empire onto a better path.
They remained unmoved, staying in the palace and ignoring the cries of the people outside.

This practice clearly displeased the emperor, so he never said a word to them.

And whenever a sage goes to the palace, the emperor will surely manifest his divine power.

The treatment they received was worlds apart.

"What's the point of accepting criticism? The most important thing is to change."

Qin Yun asked about another matter.

"How are the preparations for the expansion of the Ten Thousand Man Corps going?"

“The selection process is already underway; there are quite a few suitable candidates among those rebellious families,” Trajan replied.

The Imperial Guard would prioritize selecting the sons of rebels, having them don armor and atone for the emperor's sins.

Many people may feel that this system is unreasonable.
If you combine it with the core ideology of the Imperial Guard, then you won't think there's anything wrong with it.

The Imperial Guards were born with the sole duty to die for the emperor, and had no power.

Therefore, despite the high status of the Imperial Guards, power that cannot be converted into cash is equivalent to no power at all.

The Imperial Guards were not allowed to indulge in luxury or debauchery.
Every second of life must be dedicated to fighting for the Emperor.

For most people, living like this is nothing short of torture.

"Hurry up, the war in the galaxy is intensifying, and the Chaos Gods have seen the changes in humanity."

"They will not tolerate humanity breaking free of their control; a much larger war is on the horizon."

“I understand,” Trajan nodded.

At this moment, Xiling approached Qin Yun and handed him an application to join the Demon Hunter Legion.

"Master, should we approve their application?"

Qin Yun glanced at it.
Assist the Chikanti clan in reclaiming their home planet and searching for clues about the ancient ruins.

"At this stage, let's first..."

At this moment, a golden light screen appeared, interrupting Qin Yun's words.

[Mission: Find the ruins of the ancient saints]

As the oldest race in the galaxy, the Ancient Ones possess breathtaking psionic technology, and the vast majority of life in the galaxy originates from them.

Their ruins surely hold the secrets of an ancient era and the technological achievements of their race. Please encourage Witcher Legion players to search for the ancient ruins.

Reward: A large amount of Faith Points, and the Dark Word Skill - Invincibility (After casting this skill, you will be in a brief state of invincibility, unable to be locked on, attacked, or damaged, lasting for 6 seconds.)
】

Upon seeing this task,

Qin Yun was speechless.

This old man Huang is as impatient as ever!

Originally, he had planned to have the Witcher Legion complete the Slaughter Expedition mission first.
Old Huang was afraid he would refuse, so he offered such a powerful secret skill as a lure.

Although the invincibility lasts only 6 seconds, if used well, it can be a winning strategy.

"Approved for the Witcher Chapter's request, and we promise to provide them with all the assistance we can."

Qin Yun said to Xi Ling.

"Xiling understands, I will pass on your reply to them immediately." Xiling nodded and replied to White Wolf and No Beef.

[Task completed, rewards have been issued]

Qin Yun ignored the light screen and continued discussing the expansion of the Ten Thousand Men with Trajan.

The Imperial Guard will be restored to its former size and will go to war throughout the galaxy.

…………

Having received Xiling's reply, the white wolf and the beef-eater walked up to Chilke.

“We agree to the deal, Chilke.”

“We will help the Chikanti clan reclaim their home planet, and you will need to provide clues about the ancient ruins.”

"Don't deceive us, or Judge Rostov won't be able to protect you."

Chirk swallowed his chewed rations. "Don't worry, the Chikanti clan is the most trustworthy."

The secret talks ended when the deal was reached between the two parties.

The shielding field was deactivated, revealing the figures of several people.

Then,

Cassandra announced to everyone,

"The Third Expeditionary Fleet will set sail immediately to intercept and massacre the expeditionary force, reclaim lost territory, and thwart the enemy's plot."

"In the name of the Emperor, humanity will surely win."

PS: The content related to the Third Fleet and the Massacre Expedition can be found in the Sons of Vengeance series of Dawn of Fire. Those who are interested can check it out; it's a pretty good official novel.
