Warhammer: Should I also sit on the Golden Throne?

Chapter 123 Could it be that Robert has Eugene blood?

Capio's gray hair was meticulously styled, and he still wore an overly strong perfume, so much so that Connor always wanted to keep his distance from him.

His tall, thin frame sat in Connor's reception room, on the sofa opposite Connor, sipping his black tea while chatting with Connor about banking matters.

As always, he hoped that Connor could use Senate legislation to strip the temple of its banking functions.

However, this time, the extent of Capio's concessions surprised Connor.

Capio and the moderate nobles he represented were actually willing to relinquish control of the new bank, retaining only the right to inject capital and distribute dividends to the new state-owned bank.

This made Connor seriously consider whether or not to agree with Capio's opinion.

Although he supported the emancipation of slaves, the limitation of aristocratic power, and the narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor, Connor preferred to accomplish all of this in a gentle and gradual manner, avoiding bloodshed as much as possible.

If Capio and the nobles behind him are willing to relinquish control of the Future Bank, Connor can lower the interest rates on Macurag loans, reduce the burden on the people, reduce the bank's exploitative nature, and thus undermine the debt base of loan slaves.

If all the moderate nobles, led by Capio, wanted was dividends and wealth, Connor thought it acceptable.

Just then, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

The blond teenager, Robert Guilliman, pushed open the door and entered.

While not appreciating Robert's design for his character, Connor had to admit the designer's aesthetic sense in terms of appearance.

Robert was born with the face of a ruler, with a straight nose, short golden hair like sunlight, and eyes that were alert and wise. He was obviously suited to be printed on a coin as a portrait.

However, as he is still developing, his jawline and facial contours are somewhat obscured by a bit of baby fat, which hides his imposing presence and makes him look cute and approachable, exuding a unique charm that belongs to children.

Although Connor wanted to laugh every time he saw him acting like a naive child, he had to admit that the kid knew how to use his advantages.

"Oh! It really is Uncle Capio! I saw you through the window just now!" Robert smiled sweetly and walked over to Capio in a few steps.

"So it's Robert Jr. You've been making quite a splash lately. Everyone in town is talking about you, even overshadowing Starlight, the new idol of Broken Lighthouse."

"Tell Uncle Capio, were you scared back then?"

Capio smiled gently and joked with Robert.

He was referring, of course, to Robert killing Quintus.

It's already terrifying enough that a six-year-old child committed murder, but Robert killed Quintus, who was notorious for his ruthlessness.

Many people even believe the rumors are exaggerated.

"I wasn't afraid at all! All I was thinking about was protecting my dad from the bad guys!" Robert straightened his back and said confidently.

A look of surprise flashed across Capio's eyes: It really was this child who killed him.

Considering Robert's height... Capio began to suspect that the child was of Oglin's blood.

After all, with that height, that strength, and that nonchalant attitude after killing someone, Capio could only think of some subspecies of humans, the Oglins, from high-gravity planets. In that case, he might have intellectual problems in the future.

"Uncle Capio, you promised me last time that you would bring me candy if I listened to my dad." Robert said to Capio with wide eyes, his watery eyes making it hard to refuse.

You're so scary.

Zhou Yun's voice echoed in Robert's mind.

Although he couldn't see it with his naked eye, Zhou Yun got goosebumps just from hearing Robert's words.

He really wanted to record these moments and play them for the Ultra Warriors later.

After combining the memories in Lipo's mind, the information provided by Tartius, and the information known to Robert Guilliman, Zhou Yun and Robert have basically confirmed their identities.

The elder mentioned by the Slaanesh followers is Kepio, an elder from the Nerva family, one of the eighty-eight families that founded Macurag.

Moreover, Zhou Yun noticed that the head of the Nerva family had been the same person throughout the generations.

Every head of the Nerva family is named Capio, even if they were not called by this name before, they all changed it to Capio after taking over.

Upon learning this, Zhou Yun almost immediately put forward his conjecture: all the successive heads of the Capio family were actually him. The original Capio's soul was blessed by Slaanesh and possessed his descendants generation after generation, surviving to this day.

Even Robert was surprised by Zhou Yun's decisive guess and asked Zhou Yun for the basis of his opinion.

Zhou Yun made this guess entirely because of his understanding of Slaanesh's blessing.

Lucius the Undying, one of the future Slaanesh's chosen ones and the Emperor's sons, possesses similar abilities.

Lucius can possess the body of his killer, and as long as the killer is satisfied with killing him, he can be resurrected in the killer's body.

Honestly, Zhou Yun felt that this damn blessing was absolutely terrible.

Firstly, the basic resurrection ability is a buff inherent to demon princes who have ascended to demonhood and naturally born demons. Unless encountering special circumstances such as the Emperor's Sword, the Ritual Dagger, or the Lightning Stone, demons and demon princes can generally be resurrected.

Secondly, there is the ability to possess enemies. Not to mention that possession is also a basic ability of demons and demon princes, the prerequisite for this ability is "satisfaction," which is enough to solidify its position.

In the future, Sharokin of the Raven Guard will kill Lucius as if he were kicking a wild dog to death, but Sharokin himself will not get any satisfaction from it. Although Lucius is inexplicably resurrected afterward, Sharokin will not be affected in the slightest.

Finally, and most importantly, since Slaanesh gave Lucius this blessing, it was meant for Lucius to die. Repeatedly dying was Slaanesh's expectation of Lucius. Therefore, after receiving this blessing, Lucius had to die repeatedly. If he didn't die, it would be disrespectful to Slaanesh.

It is entirely possible that Capio possesses a similar blessing to Lucius.

Following this line of thought, Zhou Yun and Guilliman found several portraits of the previous heads of the family to which Capio belonged in the history of the Great Library, and they all looked exactly the same.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh at the prison of Slaanesh's followers. Not only was a basic buff like resurrection given as a blessing, but even a buff like increasing lifespan was given in the form of possessing offspring. It was too much for his family.

Even with such a powerful blessing, Zhou Yun believed that Slaanesh wouldn't have given it away for nothing; Capio must have paid a price.

In addition, information obtained from Tatius revealed that Simeneta committed suicide immediately after returning to Macurag, and his body was covered by some kind of malevolent power, resulting in the deaths or injuries of most of the believers who carried his body.

In addition, there was a fairy tale circulating in the city: the good princess was tricked by her friend and replaced by a poisonous snake.

Zhou Yun and Robert were basically convinced that Capio of Biyang was the one who tricked Simeneta, leading to Simeneta's replacement by Slaanesh.

However, Simeoneta also seems to have resisted Slaanesh's corruption in some way, creating an opportunity for suicide so that Slaanesh would not use her body to influence reality.

To be honest, Zhou Yun still had to sigh at how incredibly powerful the Slaanesh followers were.

Capio put in such a huge undertaking, and Slaanesh ultimately gave it to the flawed version of Immortality.

Immortality was something that emperors bought in bulk.

"Hahaha! Uncle really brought you some!" With that, Capio reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of colorful candies, placing it in Robert's hand.

As soon as Robert had a thought, a voice entered Connor's mind.

"You're not allowed to eat that; your teeth are already starting to rot."

"Watch out, or Mrs. Euton will teach you a lesson."

Connor said without changing his expression, "I've gotten used to Robert's voice suddenly ringing in my head lately."

Robert's expression immediately fell, his eyes widened, brimming with tears, filled with grievance and resentment.

Actually, Robert was worried that there was something wrong with the candy, so he deliberately made Connor say that.

"Don't scold the child like that. If he likes to eat, let him eat it." Capio laughed out loud as he watched this scene.

They're still just kids...

With a slight sense of relief, Capio thought to himself, "Jialan said that Robert is a special child. But even if he is special, isn't he still a child?"

"That won't do. I called him here hoping he could learn some political knowledge and absorb it through observation."

"I didn't invite him here to eat candy."

Connor said sternly.

Robert's expression grew increasingly aggrieved, and he kicked the table beside him intermittently.

"You're still not convinced!" Connor's expression darkened.

Robert was so frightened that he quickly stepped back.

This father and son are truly kindred spirits, a pair of smiling tigers and two great drama queens.

Zhou Yun, who was listening to the conversation in the room through a thought connection, couldn't help but smile.

"Oh dear, look at you! You've scared the child half to death!" Capio hurriedly stopped him, then looked at Robert.

"Come here, child. Since your father sent you here to study, your uncle will ask for your opinion."

"Your uncle and your father are discussing something."

Capio laughed and said to Robert, "Uncle wants to stop those old guys who are both high priests and bankers from treating the temple like a bank. He wants to open a bank for your father, and Uncle and the other uncles will put money into it."

"Are you supporting your uncle, or those old and wicked high priests?"

Robert Guilliman wore a thoughtful expression, as if pondering the meaning of Capio's words.

But in his mind, both Zhou Yun and he showed some satisfaction.

They finally took the bait.

"Of course I support my uncle!"

"Because my uncle gave me candy!"

Robert said with a bright smile.
