Your war hammer is too fake

"What are the prerequisites for unlocking the Nun expansion?" An Jiuyue asked again.

"The faction's main god chooses Sigmar," Evelyn replied, "then restore the manufacturing technology of the steam tank and sell it to the Nuln Gunnery Academy. Alternatively, you can actually control the city of Nuln for at least one year, by any means."

"Either of them is not easy..." An Jiyue said, and suddenly thought of another thing, "I can basically guess what the other contents in the dream correspond to, but I can't figure out what the mechanical man at the end means. Also, since Xi Da Hammer has escaped, the Church of Sigmar should have news soon. Remember to make arrangements in advance and don't let the followers of Sigmar and Yurik fight again."

"I will." Evelyn nodded.

"Secondly, since Li Biao has suffered a heavy loss, the Parawon people can be more radical in their infiltration operations," An Jiyue advised. "I fully understand how difficult this work is in practice, especially since the executors are a bunch of amateur spies, but their progress is indeed not ideal... I will be going to Aurora at the beginning of next month, and I don't know how long it will take for me to come back."

"When will you return to Xuanshui?" Aiwen asked.

"It should be in the next two days. Ayue, Morgan and I will go back to Xuanshui first, and then I will send Morgan back to the Southland. We can't do nothing about the problem of the Nest Clan. Since we know there are hidden dangers, we must try to eliminate them. After thinking about it, I decided to meet with Namtaru and make things clear. After all, it is cruel to punish without teaching. As for you, you can make your own decisions on the subsequent negotiations with Ulthuan. Just think of it as practicing your diplomatic skills."

"Ah."

Author's words: I was very sleepy but couldn't fall asleep at all. My head felt like it was going to split open.

Answer to reader "zzz17746":

Neither the Lord of the Holy Scripture nor the system units have any subspace projections, and the "killer whale" that appeared in the previous chapter is not a projection.

Answer to reader "Reader1675177135":

There wasn't one originally.

Chapter 348: Answer

The next morning, An Jiyue woke up on a large, soft bed with curtains hanging over it.

The governor didn't rest well last night. The dream made her toss and turn and she couldn't fall asleep. An obvious fact is that all the details in the dream have strong symbolic meanings, such as the appearance of the four vendors. The Norscans called Khorne "the god dog", Tzeentch "the god eagle", Nurgle "the god crow", and Slaanesh "the god snake", so they appeared in the dream in that appearance. Then what about me? Why did I turn into a killer whale in my dream?

Lifting the red velvet blanket with griffins embroidered in gold thread, An Jiyue stepped on the cold marble floor with her bare feet. Wearing only a silk nightgown, she walked to the dressing mirror and sat down, staring at the stunning girl in the mirror with her bright red eyes. She actually had a guess about herself and the other three group members who chose [Advanced Sexual Conversion], but because of the lack of evidence and the fact that the matter itself was not very important, she never said it out loud.

Why are there exactly four people who chose to sacrifice Jill in exchange for Paowa? Bing Ruolan is not counted. The unfortunate Xiugenqing was a woman before he traveled through time, a weird girl who liked plate armor, big guns, and war-themed games.

In addition, in the description of [Advanced Sexual Conversion], it is mentioned that this trait will greatly improve the appearance. How exactly does this thing improve? Is it to create a very good-looking appearance from scratch, or is it based on some templates? Originally, An Jiyue would not think in this direction, this world is fucking Warhammer; however, the appearance of Egwene and Morgan seemed to remind her implicitly that their new appearances have some kind of prototype.

Evelyn de Richelieu, with slightly curly light ochre hair, burgundy pupils, an excellent figure and an elusive sacred aura... this is clearly the Richelieu in [Azure Route]!

Morgan Linge, with long light gray hair, ice-blue pupils, and medium-sized breasts, except for her pointed ears like an elf, no matter how you look at it, she looks like the queen of some useless dog, right?

As for An Jiyue and Xiao Yiyue, there are too many characters with silver hair and red eyes in the two-dimensional world, so it is difficult to determine their origins. However, if the element of "killer whale" is added, the answer is immediately clear.

"But I've never played a porridge game..." An Jiyue muttered to herself in front of the mirror. To be exact, except for Old Man's Frontline 1 - also known as Squid Frontline 1, Potato Flower 1, Mrs. Raymond 1, etc. - An Jiyue had never played other mobile games before she traveled through time. Her knowledge of those famous mobile games came from fan fiction, and she had only a vague understanding of the shitty things in the second game circle. Every time she saw those special terms, she could only rely on Baidu or consult group friends.

It was certain that he was an Outer God. It was also certain that the body he was using was a pure human. The girl was definitely not an Agor underwater person, and she had not received any strange transformations of the same origin as the enemy. Thinking of this, An Jiyue closed her eyes and entered a deep state of meditation.

With the help of psychic power, An Jiyue's emotions were almost completely suppressed. She began to trace her memories and explore the past of her soul. As a psychic master, the girl could search her memories like searching files on a computer. She only needed a thought to accurately pick out the memory of the day she traveled through time.

In just a moment, An Jiyue reviewed the memories of the 24 hours before the time travel from beginning to end. As she expected, the answer was not complicated: on the day of the time travel, he happened to be reading a fan fiction of Zhouyou, and he searched for Skadi on Baidu, to be exact, the picture of Zhuoxin Skadi.

The high-quality live2D illustrations left a deep impression on Anji Yue at the time. Although he was loyal to Kurumi and V-Chong, at least on that day, when he chose the [Advanced Sexual Conversion] trait and saw the description of "greatly improving appearance" in the description, his first subconscious reaction was Reddy's default skin.

After carefully examining every thought of hers at that time with psychic power, whether it was conscious or subconscious, An Jiyue took the initiative to exit the state of emotional suppression, and then slapped herself in the face. Although the silly little killer whale, well, Hongdi is not silly, in short, although Hongdi's appearance and temperament perfectly hit An's strike zone, Kuang San and V Chong are the only two designated paper wives of Wo!

If An Jiyue's guess is correct, all group members who choose [Advanced Sex Conversion] will become the first target that comes to mind subconsciously at that moment, for example, she will become Hongdi.

"Let me verify it..." The girl murmured in a low voice, connected to the chat group and sent a message. A moment later, the other three group members came to An Jiyue's bedroom while yawning.

After the girl explained the situation and her guess, the other three looked at each other. "But I can't say I particularly like Sister Li from the ship..." Aiwen said this while lying on the bed full of An Jiyue's scent: "I'll go first."

After An Jiyue swore in the name of her grandfather that she would never touch the memories of her group members, the three agreed to let her check her memories of the day she traveled through time. Compared with exploring one's own memories, it is much more troublesome to use this kind of psychic method on others, especially Outer Gods, even if the other party actively cooperates.

Fortunately, An Jiyue's psychic skills were superb enough, and the examination of Aiwen quickly produced results. "My guess has been confirmed," she said to Aiwen, who was staring at her half expectantly and half nervously, "Our current appearance is indeed determined by the first target object you subconsciously think of at the moment you choose the trait."

So why did I think of bringing the bishop? --Egwene's face clearly expressed this.

"How should I know? You should ask yourself...Morgan, it's your turn."

Compared to others, Morgan might be the most philanthropic group member. This guy likes every ACG girl who is sexy enough in her opinion equally, but she doesn't have a special favorite. And at her fateful moment, she just thought of the useless Wang Jie in her mind.

After Morgan finished the examination, the three of them turned their eyes to Xiao Yiyue, who had his arms folded across his chest.

"I think it's pointless for you to think about these things," Xiao Yiyue said this, but her body still cooperated and lay down on the bed, "Hurry up and finish it, we still have a lot of work to do."

After a while, the inspection was over. An Jiyue retracted the invisible spiritual energy and nodded to her friends who were looking at her expectantly: "Xingtie's Jingliu, the one who has a konjac attack from time to time."

“Oh~”*2.

"When are you going to accept a disciple?" Aiwen hooked her right hand around Xiao Yiyue's neck, with a curious look on her face: "Being a Mirror Stream without a disciple would be as strange as eating salmon without mustard."

"I just have the appearance of Jingliu," Xiao Yiyue glanced at Aiwen, "If you are curious about this, why not ask the girl with a red face sitting opposite you when she plans to rebuild the group."

"Tsk," Morgan waved his hand unhappily, "Why don't I have a warrior sister named Altria..."

During the conversation, someone knocked on the door. The four of them looked at each other, and An Jiyue said, "Come in."

The door was opened from the outside, and Nishikori Shigeru, who was dressed neatly and had obviously gotten up long ago, walked in with Mrs. Melinda, Evelyn's intelligence director. The latter saluted the four Lords of the Holy Scripture in turn, and then looked at Evelyn: "My lord, the Iron Valley Air Force Base sent us an emergency communication, claiming that they have captured a... strange guy."

Everyone looked at each other. "Be more specific," Aiwen asked.

"Yes," Mrs. Melinda nodded, "The specific situation is as follows..."

The author says:

Author's words: This is a very messy chapter, please just make do with it. Alas... I can only promise that I will adjust my mindset as soon as possible.

Chapter 349 Reason

Northeast of Marienburg, Iron Valley Air Force Base.

As soon as Jiujiang came to a complete stop, Aiwen jumped off the saddle. Next to the Ancient Thunderbird, Yunduo, who was carrying An Jiyue and Jin Zhifan, also landed steadily at the same time.

"I think you or Morgan should develop a small flying boat," Aiwen said to An Jiuyue who was walking beside her while waving away the servants who wanted to come over. "The flying boats you designed have a high attendance rate, but their number is still too small... I need a smaller and cheaper boat than the Grasshopper to do various odd jobs."

"It's hard to reduce the cost of the anti-gravity engine in a short period of time, and there are many problems in miniaturization," An Jiyue glanced at the servants and found that most of them were "locals". "My personal suggestion is that you can try magic and ask Dustan to import a batch of Sky Slasher airships to make do. This thing actually has great potential for modification, provided that the idea is correct."

"Marienburg is not like your Xuanshui. The maritime patrol and boarding inspection tasks here are very heavy. It is impossible to send all eleven grasshopper gunboats to patrol the coast. Duncanwald Forest is the key alert direction," said the Elector. "I need more, cheaper ships with lower personnel requirements to deal with the increasingly rampant smugglers and stowaways, and I don't want to spend the budget on the navy. Grasshoppers can do this job, but it is a bit of a waste of talent."

"I remember that you don't have a navy at all. You only have some armed merchant ships seized from the Ten Directors."

"Yes, no," Evelyn took the lead and walked in front. "I asked someone to calculate that if we build a decent navy from scratch, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required will not be much cheaper than the flying fleet. After hearing about this, Acate Fogg gave me a suggestion. He said that we could recruit some pirates to do this job, and said that any sensible captain would not betray an employer who is rich, generous, and most importantly, has a flying fleet."

The governor said nothing. The Elector continued, "I refused. The Snow-Skinned Dolphin ruler would certainly think this is a good idea, but I cannot tolerate a group of scum with bad character in my army, even if it is just a paramilitary force like the Coast Guard. Almarik and Bayar both support my point of view, but they can't come up with a better solution."

"This is not a moral obsession," An Jiyue agreed. "There is no such person as Captain Jack Sparrow in the three-dimensional pirate world. Even the type like Barbossa is very rare. So, how about asking Dustan to buy some Sky Slashers?"

"Too small," Evelyn said simply. "I want a patrol boat, not a sampan."

"Then I have an alternative plan," the Jiedushi thought for a moment and said, "Will the First Fleet not be stationed in Marienburg in the near future? You can temporarily entrust the maritime patrol to them. King Ka will definitely not refuse to do you a favor in such a matter. Of course, this is only a temporary alternative plan. In the end, you still have to find a way to organize your own manpower."

The most direct impact of Westerland's return to the Empire is that the Empire's "navy" can finally get rid of the damn double quotes. Since Marienburg's independence, the Empire's navy, which lost its largest and most important port, has been reduced to a river army: the powerful First Fleet (Reikland Navy) has been active in the Empire's inland rivers all year round and rarely has the opportunity to go to sea, while the Second Fleet (Nordland Navy) is very small and faces the Norse Peninsula across the sea.

As part of her promise to King Karl, Egwene allowed the First Fleet to settle in Marienburg and set aside an area in the southern city as the First Fleet's exclusive base. Originally, this matter should have been completed before the summer, but the news that the First Fleet was preparing to move its home port caused dissatisfaction among some people. Some people believed that the Reikland Navy would ignore the protection of inland rivers because of its focus on the ocean, while others were worried that Reikland would take the opportunity to squeeze out their share of maritime trade in Marienburg.

Even with Karl Franz's political skills, it took a lot of effort to settle all aspects.

"The First Fleet of Reikland... I'll write a letter to Kadahammer and he should be able to help." The Elector nodded, "But I can't always rely on the Reiklanders. Don't you have any good ideas?"

"Technological progress is gradual. It is difficult to achieve a decisive breakthrough in the miniaturization and cheapening of anti-gravity engines immediately. The flying patrol boat you want will definitely not be available this year at least." Thinking of this, An Jiyue suddenly remembered something, "Wait, I suddenly remembered that there is actually someone who has a similar problem."

"?who?"

"Morgan. Isn't she going to build a port city and develop maritime trade with the whole world?" An Jiuyue said, "If you can't do it, you can still get some surface ships and manpower from the local area. The Kaldorei have never chosen the navigation technology tree. They only have some inland flat-bottomed boats. Although it was my suggestion to establish the Salt Wind Territory, I really don't know how she plans to solve the daily defense of the new port. Well, let me ask her first."

As she spoke, An Jiyue used her mind to connect to the chat group and opened the private chat with Morgan. King Changqing and the other governor did not come with her. They needed to stay in Marienburg just in case.

"...Morgan replied. She said she didn't have the money to buy the anchor point and the city heart, so the new port was built from scratch. It would take at least half a year to complete, so she was not in a hurry at all."

"Tsk..."

The two walked a short distance forward, and a bright wizard wearing a white robe and holding a staff as tall as a person came over and saluted to the two of them in turn: "Good afternoon, sir, and Duke An."

"Melinda said that you have captured someone who looks like a hedge wizard, but you can't find any concrete evidence that he can do magic," Aiwen raised her head slightly, put her left hand on her waist, and let her right hand hang naturally. "What's going on?"

"Please follow me," the Master of Light turned sideways and made a gesture to lead the way. "The first person to discover the abnormality was an engineer, and the target person was his apprentice. According to his confession, the target did not participate in the celebration banquet, but went back before the banquet started..."

The Light Mage said as he walked in front and led the way. Due to the importance of the Iron Valley Air Force Base, in addition to several Heavenly Mage assigned to West's Air Force, there are also several witch hunters and combat priests stationed here. The Light Mage in front of him is the leader of these people. According to the Light Mage, this engineer apprentice named Belisarius Cawl...

"Wait," An Jiyue interrupted, "What did you say his name was?!"

"Belisarius Cawl, Duke," the Master of Light showed just the right amount of confusion on his face, "Excuse me, is there anything special about this name?"

The two masters of the Holy Scripture looked at each other. "You continue speaking first." The governor said.

On the day of the celebration party, Kaul returned to the dormitory early. His instructor did not take it seriously at first, until the celebration party was almost over and the instructor decided to go back to rest, only then did he discover that the door of the small workshop attached to the dormitory could not be opened!

The lights in the workshop were on - this lighting technology introduced from the dwarves was gradually becoming a new trend in Westland - but no matter how the instructor shouted, there was no response from the workshop. To be exact, the instructor could not hear any sound from the workshop at all, as if some force had isolated the workshop in another dimension.

The instructor immediately reported the incident after noticing that something was wrong. The Light Mage and his men quickly arrived at the scene, but no matter whether it was magic, divine arts or directional blasting, they could not break through the thin wooden door, or even leave any traces on it. In desperation, the Light Mage called in the Heavenly Mage serving in the Air Force, but unfortunately the latter were also helpless.

The instructor returned to the dormitory at around 2 a.m., and after all this trouble, it was almost dawn. Realizing that the problem at hand was not something that his group could handle, the base commander could only order everyone to be on alert and the fleet to take off, while sending someone to notify Marienburg. As a result, the messenger had just set off on Pegasus when the door was knocked open.

According to the description of the Master of Light who was at the scene at the time, the lights in the workshop went out as soon as the first rays of sunlight hit the earth. Noticing this change, the two witch hunters subconsciously rushed towards the door and broke it open... Kaul was immediately arrested and his drawings were sealed.

"I asked the engineers to check the drawings," the Light Mage said in a dry voice. "They told me that the suspect designed a brand new steam engine." After a pause, he added, "They all agreed that with this, Coast Heavy Industries could reproduce the ancient technology of steam tanks."

As soon as the words fell, several people stopped at the same time.

They have arrived.

The author says:

Author's words: I talked to my mother once. Someone from my uncle's side came over and talked about the fact that my mother and uncle had been together for two years but had not yet obtained a marriage certificate. My mother asked for my opinion, and I told her that it was impossible not to get a marriage certificate and keep dragging it out, but it was also not advisable to get a marriage certificate right away when the other party urged them. My suggestion was to wait another year and see. If no problems occurred during this period, they could wait until they had been together for three years before going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. My mother accepted this suggestion. It was really rare. From childhood to adulthood, it's not that I haven't given my advice on such big things, but it's a pity that she never listened to me before.

Chapter 350: The Gift of Nurgle

In the southern part of Southland, in an unknown rainforest.

Naglich, leader of the Plague Clan and High Plague Lord, rode his giant mutant rat mount named "Poxpox" and staggered through the dangerous rainforest full of dangers. His servant Bililos followed closely behind him holding a plague censer.

Except for the Plague Lords directly under Naglich himself, no one in the Plague Brotherhood knew that the reason why Naglich mobilized all resources to organize a large-scale army to fight against the strange races that plundered the Rat Mother was actually secondary. The real primary goal of the Plague Lord was to execute the orders from a certain god.

——The Plague Clan was not as powerful as it is now from the beginning. They were originally just an ordinary warlord clan that infiltrated the continent of Lustria and were unknown in the underground empire. Most members of this clan died from the tropical diseases that raged in Lustria. When the clan was about to end, the remaining members secretly signed a contract with a certain god. From then on, they no longer rejected the suffering they had suffered, but began to embrace plague and disease, considering it a gift from a new god.

With the filthy blessing generously bestowed by the gods, these disease-ridden rats overcame the tropical diseases of Lustria by using poison to fight poison, and the Plague Clan began to rise. Although on the surface the Plague Clan still believes in the Great Horned Rat, the only god of the ratmen, and the power of the Great Horned Rat does include disease, but in reality...

While sending most of the army to deal with the so-called Faceless Ones, Naglich personally led an elite force carefully selected by him and went deep into the jungle. According to the oracle issued by the true master of the Plague Clan, Naglich must find a group of intelligent giant insects and give them the gift of the father.

The Plague Lord was fully prepared for the difficulty of this mission, but when he really began to pursue his goal, he found that his previous assumptions were too optimistic: first, the army he sent to fight the Faceless Men was defeated and suffered heavy losses even for the Skaven. Then, he also encountered trouble on his side. A group of apes who believed in Tzeentch appeared out of nowhere and attacked Naggrich's troops.

Apemen, a subspecies of beastmen unique to the South, look like apes, are cunning and agile. The core territories of the Plague Clan are basically in the South, so Naglich and his men are no strangers to apemen. The appearance of these apemen with blue feathers and bird organs made Naglich realize that in addition to the god he worshipped, the god's mortal enemy was also paying attention to his actions and intervening.

There is no room for compromise or giving up on the mission given by the gods. The elite forces from the entire Plague Brotherhood and this group of apes who believe in Tzeentch repeatedly fought and entangled in every corner of the rainforest. Every moment, minions of the dark power fell among the trees and were quickly swallowed up by the green hell created by the ancient saints themselves.

This endless tug-of-war lasted for more than a month. The main force was dispatched to attack the Faceless Ones but was defeated, which made it impossible for the Plague Clan to mobilize more troops in a short period of time. However, the Apemen were able to get support from the Tzeentch demons, and they suppressed the army of Naggrich bit by bit. Seeing that the mission was about to fail, the anxious Naggrich was already considering whether to try to summon the Lord of Disaster to help, when the power projected by Tzeentch on this land suddenly weakened.

Later, Nagri learned from some sources that Tzeentch was beaten by an unknown great being. Although Nurgle was also beaten by the same being, his father was in a much better situation. Nurgle took the opportunity to increase his power. He broke through Tzeentch's blockade of the southern rainforest and successfully sent a group of Nurgle demons into the material universe. The apes, who had always been supported by Tzeentch's demons, suddenly lost this strong ally.

With the addition and subtraction, Nagrichi, who was about to collapse, turned the tables and defeated the apes who had been hindering him with the help of the Nurgle demons. Soon after the battle, the demons sent by the father disappeared. With the Great Vortex still alive, it is difficult for any demon to operate in the material universe for a long time, unless it is a half-demon, half-machine like the Chaos Dwarf K'Dayi, who has a material support in the mortal world.

But it was enough. Without the hindrance of the servants of the Lord of Change, Nagrig finally found his goal after a difficult search: in a hidden valley, the Plague Lord discovered the existence revealed by Nurgle in the oracle, a group of visitors from the underworld, an ancient race calling themselves "The Brood".

These giant insects are definitely not mindless beasts. Naglich realized this the first time he saw them. They are the same species composed of many insects with different forms and functions. The lower-level insects without self absolutely obey the upper-level insects who give orders. They have established a base with complete facilities in the valley, and for some reason they have also camouflaged their base in a lot of ways, as if they are trying their best to avoid being discovered by certain people?

Naglich didn't care about the details, he just knew it was time to complete his father's mission.

A large group of Plague Monks surrounded a group of Plague Incense Burner Monks, and led by several Plague Priests who volunteered to sacrifice themselves for their loving father, they took the initiative to rush forward. Their undisguised actions immediately alarmed the Nest Clan in the stronghold, and groups of Sting Bees and Needle Bees emerged from their dry, tidy nests, and low-flying Winged Bees began to flank the attackers, preparing to cut off the retreat of these uninvited guests. The Clan Mother in charge of this place even went into battle personally, roaring and giving the order to attack.

The bee wasp spewed chitinous stingers at the attacking ratmen, and the sting wasp took the opportunity to rush forward under the cover of long-range firepower, waving a pair of slender, sharp forelimbs, repeatedly stabbing at the hairy body of the rotten rat. The battle ended quickly. Although the fearless rotten rats caused some losses to the nest, they died even faster.

After everything calmed down, the young tribe mother cleaned the battlefield several times, and after confirming that she had not missed anything, she began to gather the troops and recycled the biomass that could still be used according to the habits of the Nest Clan. The less seriously injured lower-level nodes would be treated, and those who were too seriously injured and not worth saving would be thrown directly into the transformation pool. Naturally, the tribe mother ordered the corpses of the rotten rats to be thrown into the transformation pool as well. Although these rotten meats were infected with various diseases that the Nest Clan had seen and had not seen before, the tribe mother had absolute confidence in her tribe's biotechnology. Germs? It's nothing more than a matter of disinfecting a few more times.

Outside the valley, Naglich watched all this with satisfaction through his magical vision. The "gift" had been given, and these smart bugs, who were treated differently by Nurgle, would soon have a new life.

And it was time for Naglich to go back. The Plague Clan had suffered a tragic loss, and he had to return to the clan headquarters before other clans noticed this and reacted, and prepare for the next situation.

The heavy rain poured down, dispersing the poisonous pus that the Plague Lord had dripped down along the way.

……

In the south, in the underground world, in a cave.

"So," Namtaru said, using all eight spider legs to move at the same time, she slowly stood up from her throne, "The queen of the surface people requested a meeting with me? They specifically asked me to come in person?"

"Yes, my lord," Queen Nadel bowed to her master, "The descendant of the dwarf leader Barel Magichammer, the champion of the surface people called Ragnar Barelson, sent a letter. Would you like to see it?"

"Throw it away. I'm sure you've given me all the necessary information. Nadel, I smell danger," Namtaru looked down at her most trusted deputy, "but we can't refuse a proposal for peaceful exchange. How's the new colony going?"

"As of the last communication, everything is normal in the colony," Nadel answered without hesitation, "As you expected, the surface people do not have the ability to monitor every piece of land on the surface world. They have not yet discovered our colony."
