The father and son slept soundly, but Marum went out and ran laps around the entire city of Yunu.
The prospect of being baptized by the Emperor himself was too much for him to bear, and Marum couldn't help but recall the time when he was slaughtering his way through that corrupted forging world.
He really wanted to take off this power armor now and crush those powerful demons with his own fists.
However, I've heard rumors of a burning legion within the empire.
I wonder if Astartes, who was soaked from head to toe and drenched by His Majesty, can be included.
Ah, if only the elder Titus were here, he certainly wouldn't be as talkative as me, and would be more favored by His Majesty.
Wait, perhaps it was precisely because of my talkativeness that I was chosen by Sage Kaul?
Marum struggled to understand the adults' thoughts, but he did set a goal for himself.
Following His Majesty's plan, after the war that ends all wars, return to Macurag and open a bar.
The next day, Marum, who hadn't even broken a sweat after running all night, dutifully returned to the courtyard and prepared breakfast.
Then he continued to go to work with His Majesty.
How interesting, this is the first time I've ever felt this way. As for Aaron, he's still busy learning carpentry.
Before His Majesty's motorcycle is finished, Aaron wants to personally make a slightly larger wooden object to present to Chagatai.
He's about to come of age, so it's easy for him to find a carpenter in the city to learn the trade; he can just use His Majesty's money to pave the way.
Marum only gave one final word of advice:
“Aaron, carpentry is different from metal casting. You must be careful not to smash your hand when you hammer nails.”
Aaron's own father would never have thought to remind him of this.
Fortunately, the Pharaoh didn't set up a clock-in system for work, because those who dared to be late basically ended up feeding the crocodiles.
Thanks to Anda's deliberate concealment, few people noticed the strange behavior of these two colleagues.
The one blessed by Vashtor himself, Anriwen, is the only one who can recognize the two of them. But at this time, Anriwen usually hides himself deep within this chariot, communicating with the gods day and night to make it more perfect.
This repetitive work continued for half a month until the living furnace fire was completely extinguished, and the chariot, now stained black, lay in the underground space, waiting to awaken.
"Sir, there seems to be very little work to do today."
Marum observed his surroundings, able to notice even the slightest changes.
Only Adachi yawned:
"You actually went to work. Even though it's a gift for Chagatai, as long as it meets the standards, it's fine."
Marum shook his head helplessly and continued, "There's one more thing. Are you just going to let Aaron go to the city to learn a carpentry trade by himself? I can do those things too."
Anda rubbed his face and laughed:
"No, no, no, I could hardly stand it when you started teaching and opened your mouth. To use his analogy, Aaron doesn't have to go to that nearly full cesspool to defecate, while you guys have to be careful of being splashed up from the cesspool all the time. No, you guys who are already in the cesspool, there's no need to force him to do anything. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters."
Marum cautiously corrected, "Sir, you will be with us in the future."
Anda's face darkened, and he said seriously:
"That's my future self, living for the moment. I even suspect that my future obsession might be because I knew about the distortion of the future in the past, and the more I tried to avoid such things from happening, the more I fell into it."
"So I deliberately disconnected from my future self for a while, hahaha!"
Anda burst into laughter and then explained, "So nothing came out while we were building this chariot these past few days."
Now it was Marum's turn to go mad. Although his facial expression remained unchanged, the soul within his body was on the verge of insanity.
Yes, he understood Aaron.
If His Majesty exhibits human-like behavior for a period of time, it means that he will not be a person for a long time to come.
I wonder if the Great Sage Kaul had gone mad by this point.
Boom!Boom!
At that moment, someone banged a gong and shouted loudly:
"All personnel, assemble! Tomorrow is the day the great Pharaoh, Horus who walks among men, descends upon Yunu!"
"The Pharaoh will personally unveil and name the chariot when Ra, the great sun, reaches the highest point in the sky!"
Several servants of the Yunu temple rushed to escort a priest as he arrived.
The priest disdained to speak with the craftsmen, merely giving them a few instructions before entering the cooled furnace to inquire about Anriwen.
Then the temple servants left a messenger behind and shouted:
"All the work has been completed. Tonight, let us all bathe and pray together at the temple."
"Tomorrow morning, change into formal attire, do not bring any tools, and gather at the Temple Square."
Marum, protecting Anda, asked in a low voice:
"My lord, it sounds like there's a ceremony going on tomorrow. We'll be able to see the Pharaoh himself, and if we can confirm whether he's been corrupted by demons, we can take action immediately."
Anda chuckled, "A ceremony? Listen to what he said. If he was talking to the guards, it would mean no armor, no weapons, just assembling on the drill ground. So, did you notice anything unusual?"
Marum looked serious and said earnestly, "According to the customs of ancient Terra, this usually means receiving a reward?"
Anda's smile didn't last long before he was stunned by Marum's answer.
"Forget it, there's nothing I can say to you. You extreme warriors should become moral teachers from now on."
He began to secretly wonder if there was something wrong with him, if he was too petty, or if he had a dark side.
There is still a good life in this world.
But perhaps this is Guilliman's curse; that boy always thought he could build the entire empire into something like Macragge.
The key node recorder on Marum's body was still capturing the human emperor's most sensitive fluctuations, but at this moment, even Marum himself did not know what His Majesty was thinking.
According to previous predictions, this is a sign that His Majesty's curve of returning to humanity is about to return to the average.
He finally asked, "Sir, what will Aaron do if we don't go home tonight?"
Anda frowned: "He's a grown man, how could he starve to death? At least he can get a good rest tonight, so let's just focus on enjoying ourselves."
As night fell, the priest who had entered the core of the furnace still hadn't emerged, but the pre-prepared feast had already begun. After eating and drinking their fill, they reveled in the temple's bathing pool.
Egyptian baths are quite different from those in Greece and Rome. Egyptians like to build walls around the baths that have only doorways and no actual barriers, with many windows for ventilation.
Unlike the bathhouses in the north, which are all indoors.
Anda took the well-behaved Marum to the bathhouse and found a quiet spot to soak in the water.
Although Macrag also had the habit of soaking in the bath, Marum always felt very constrained, as if he were being led astray by an improper elder.
To avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to say, "Sir, I understand. You mean there will be danger after the assembly tomorrow. It is very likely that the craftsmen involved in the production will also be sacrificed."
Anda then laughed: "That's right, your level of sensitivity and obliviousness is exactly the same as your father's. I'm starting to wonder if Ryan had the urge to draw his sword when he first told him about activating the preparatory plan for the empire's destruction."
Marum: "Huh? What did you say, sir?"
Chapter 60 Anda and the Emperor
In fact, Marum doesn't drink at all. He also has no idea whether the First Army and the Thirteenth Army share any secrets.
Was Guilliman, the father, really that oblivious to political sensitivities?
Impossible. We in Macurag have contingency plans for all kinds of political situations, and our governance far exceeds that of most parts of the world within the Empire's territory.
After awakening, Primarch orchestrated a series of brilliant maneuvers to reclaim power on Holy Terra. Even the other founding members, including those Astartes who failed to fully adhere to the canon, succumbed to his charisma.
The original Space Marines were also successfully promoted.
If it were any other Primarch, only the uncorrupted Warmaster Horus could have done this!
It is truly unacceptable that such a meritorious father was wrongly judged by His Majesty!
He could only watch helplessly as his emperor drank cup after cup of wine and boasted to the artisans.
Fortunately, the steam in the bathhouse provided some cover, making the disguise relatively effective, and His Majesty didn't join the others in putting his arm around them.
It's not enough to cause chaos.
After a while, some temple servants came in from outside the room to massage the artisans.
Adachi looked closely and, relieved to find none of the strange pipes or tools, stood up and took off his bathrobe.
The servants who came were all maids.
"Let's go, the livestock need to be cleaned before they are slaughtered."
Sigh, His Majesty is so optimistic at this time.
After the two lay down, Marum felt even more unclean.
Father, I will never fall into depravity, but my visual training requires me to observe all the scenery in my surroundings.
Anda enjoyed the feeling, closing his eyes and relishing the servant's massage.
However, he soon sensed something was wrong, as if something was swaying back and forth.
Oh no! He opened his eyes—it was a man!
Why is it a man?!
He looked in other directions, and even here in Marum, there were only maids.
Why did I have to be paired with a man?!
Anda, who had repeatedly declared that he would not easily touch other people's hearts, had no choice but to break his vow and first had this servant switch places with the one on Marum's side.
Anda was very angry, but after learning the real reason, she couldn't blame anyone else.
It turns out that he had been sneaking around doing slacking off while working, which made the people in charge always think that the number of people had been miscalculated.
Marum devoted himself to this cause, and many people heard about the deeds of this strong man who could hammer nails with his bare hands.
So when we were calculating manpower today, we found that there was suddenly an extra person, so we had to call a male servant to replace him.
Anda felt she couldn't sleep well tonight and was feeling sullen.
Before returning home, the priestly servant in charge said that the rewards would be distributed after welcoming the Pharaoh the next day.
There's absolutely no need to worry about anyone not showing up tomorrow.
