In the tens of thousands of years of human history, the Cult of the Mechanics has sent cathars to assist the human empire, expanding its territory in the galaxy, expanding its power from the solar system to the outside world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Subsequently, in many star regions of the galaxy, the casting worlds of the Cult of the Mechanicus were scattered throughout the empire. However, the galaxy is so vast that many places belong to other forces, or are in a state of unexplored.

In such an environment, if someone wants to deliberately keep their traces hidden, it is almost impossible to find them.

Although there are rumors among the high-ranking personnel of the Hermit Sect of the Machine God, some people have seen the existence of these people, but there is no actual evidence.

Therefore, after hearing Xiahoulin's words, the Wood Magi immediately thought of the most likely scenario. But he couldn't know that the person in front of him was not from this world at all.

"It turns out that Lord Altaïr is a hermit, but I didn't expect you to really exist." Woodwise said with a slightly excited tone, and his eyes became eagerly when he looked at Xia Houlin.

"Hermits? Is this the name of our department, it's a bit special. After saying these words with a smile, Xia Houlin pointed to a hovering car on the side and said again: "Since everyone is a believer in the mechanical god, let's go to the conference room and have a good talk, there is still plenty of time now." ”

The Woodwise also found that here on the tarmac, it is indeed not a good place to talk. So he followed Xiahoulin to board the hovering car and quickly galloped towards the living quarters of the dreadnought.

On the hovercar, the Woodwise used his electronic eyes to look at the scenery around him. The internal structure of this kind of battleship is completely different from the warships built by the Forge World for the Empire.

There is no intricate gothic building inside the Imperial warship, everything is simple and clean. There was nothing superfluous to see inside the battleship, and the ground was so clean and tidy that it was not to speak.

However, one thing the Wood Magi can be sure of when the time comes, and that is that the staff they see along the way are indeed some cyborg controlled by the priests, just like the Mechanicus warships.

And in the whole galaxy, the only way to use this method to form troops is the Cult of the Mechanical God that has mastered high technology. Because the mechanical priests do not believe in the skills and abilities of ordinary human drivers.

Now that he saw all this, the Wood Magi was even more sure that the person next to him must be a member of the Cult of the Mechanica.

"Brother Altaïr, I have to say that the technology of your unit is completely different from all the current Imperial fleets. It was an eye-opener for me, did you find a technical STC template before the Dark Ages? The Wood Magi finally couldn't help but ask, after all, the battleship in front of him was too different.

"No, our school has been collecting and absorbing different technologies since it left the Order and started wandering, and then used them to develop them. There are a lot of technologies here that are unique to us, and of course, in the process, we have to borrow some technologies from aliens. Xiahou Lin explained with a smile that the battleship in front of him was indeed a product of alien technology, but it was not something in this world.

"Alien technology...."The mechanical sage fell into a brief contemplation, because blatant research on alien technology is strictly forbidden within the Mechanic Cult. Because of the research of alien technology, there have been many major accidents before.

Soon as the hovercar reached its destination, outside the conference hall. Charhoulin and the Woodwise walked inside, while the rest of the unrelated personnel were all guarded outside.

The Magi have no opinion on such security. Because the conversation that followed was an exchange between two Mechanicus Magi, the servants were not qualified to listen to these sacred conversations.

Then the two scientists, who resembled the tentacle monsters in fantasy novels, began to talk seriously. Relying on his knowledge of the Warhammer world, Charholin quickly gained the trust of the Woodsman.

And with the help of the Hermit Sect mentioned by the Wood Magi, Xia Houlin succeeded in getting the other party to confirm the rarest branch of the Cult of the Mechanical God.

After confirming the identity of Xia Houlin, the Wood Magi asked the other party why he appeared in this star sector isolated by a subspace storm.

"Originally, I wasn't going to pay attention to the affairs here, but the invasion of the Chaos Army had to involve my expedition team." Xiahou Lin pretended to speak in a deep voice, he was still clear about the usual activities of those people in the Mechanical God Sect.

The favorite thing for these Mechanics is to follow the Imperial Army to expand their territory. Then, on a new planet, look for the casting modules left over from the Dark Ages, and then start producing the products of ancient technology.

And the expedition fleet of the Cult of the Mechanics is also a unique landscape in the human empire. Many powerful mechanical Magi led their fleets in the vast sea of stars, looking for planets where there might be casting modules.

If the existence of a casting module is discovered, the expedition fleet will start collecting it as soon as possible. In the event of resistance, the Cult of the Mechanics' expeditionary fleet will not hesitate to attack.

If the opponent is too strong, the expedition fleet will retreat. However, it will not be long before the massive Cult of the Mechanicus expeditionary force will return to reclaim their relics.

Therefore, although there are not many mechanical sages like Xiahou Lin who sail between the stars in obscurity, there will be no less. If there is nothing particularly important, they will not casually divulge their whereabouts.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiahoulin's explanation, the Wood Magi nodded in agreement with the other party's words. In fact, he was also dragged down by the two things of the subspace storm and the invasion of the chaos army, otherwise this mechanical sage would not have time to meet with the other departments of the empire.

"Lord Altaïr, take the liberty of asking. Did you find those rare STC templates in this new area? "The Wise Men asked the question that was most of their concern, because he left Mars to explore the vast starry sky for the sake of these STC templates.

In the world of Warhammer, human beings have been stagnant due to several major accidents and some special reasons, which have led to the stagnation of science and technology. As a result, all the equipment in the Empire's arsenal comes from STC templates.

The factories that cast the world began to produce weapons and equipment automatically, according to the design drawings within the STC template. Therefore, for the Cult of the Mechanica, every piece of STC template is a holy relic.

In order to recover a piece of the ancient STC template, the mechanics of the Cult of the Machine could choose to wage war without hesitation. In their eyes, the lives of thousands of people are no match for a single STC template.

"STC template, I didn't collect such a treasure. All of this you see is built by our vein, which has collected alien technology for thousands of years. Xia Houlin said with an apologetic face, comparing those weapon units on his side, the appearance gap with this world is too big, and some basic technologies are completely different. Therefore, if you want to continue counterfeiting, it will be very easy for the mechanics to see through it.

Therefore, instead of waiting to be seen through by the people of the Mechanical, it is better not to imitate it. Lest this matter arouse the suspicion of the Mechanical.

After hearing Xiahoulin's words, the Wood Magi was immediately a little disappointed. In fact, he is very much looking forward to being able to obtain some unknown STC templates in the hands of this hermit, so as to bring strong support to the current imperial forces in the Gothic Star Zone.

In the Empire's Forge world, only STC templates are available. Then the industrial equipment there will be able to automatically produce the vast majority of weapons and equipment.

However, Xiahou Lin's next words made the mechanical wise man feel happy.

"Even though I didn't have the STC template in my hand, I was able to reverse engineer the Scartix coil. Although there are no trials yet, there should be no major problems. After Xiahou Lin said this slowly, he watched the movement of the mechanical Magi opposite.

"Is this true, the STC template of the Scartix coil has long been destroyed?" The Woodwise involuntarily raised his voice at this moment, because the news was so important

The Scartix coil was once the core secret of the Empire's fastest warship, the Butcher. But with the thirty-six millennium, a butcher-class battleship mutinied. The casting world of the Sethelan with the Scartix coil design template, was completely destroyed together.

As a result, the empire lost the ability to make butcher-class high-speed warships, and there was no high-speed warship of that class in the empire again, which made the imperial navy very regretful.

If what Xiahoulin just said is true, then it will be great news for the Empire and the Cult of the Mechanical God. Especially for the current Imperial fleet on the Gothic planet, it was a relief in disguise.

"This is the STC template for the Scartix coil, and once you find a casting world, you can go to production testing. I'll give it to Your Excellency now. Xia Houlin directly took out an STC template and placed it on the table in front of him.

Looking at the precious STC template, the Wood Magi did not hesitate, reached out and picked up the thing, and then put it away closely. This thing is too important to be sloppy.

"Your Excellency's gift is so important, especially for the current Gothic Empire troops. The large-scale invasion of the Chaos Forces has completely lost contact with the outside world. Therefore, we do not need to concentrate our forces against the monsters from the subspace. Wood's tone was very sincere, he wanted to see if it was possible for Xiahoulin to join them in the fight against the Chaos army.

"Although it has been thousands of years since we left Mars, we have lost our lineage and remembered that we are part of the Empire. This time against the forces of Chaos, I will lead my troops to join you. Xiahou Lin said with a righteous face, as for the words of these words, a few words are true, then it needs to be discussed.

"This is really good news that we can travel to the nearest world of foundry. Then the STC template for the Scartix coil was installed there, believing that the Imperial Navy would be happy about it. "The Wood Magi understands that the situation is urgent, and the sooner the STC template for the Scartix coil is put into service, the more it will be able to help the Imperial fleet.

"There's no rush yet, let's talk about something else." Xiahoulin looked at the Woodwise with a smile, and his eyes just stared at each other up and down.

Seeing Xiahoulin staring at his body, the Woodwise took off his red robe. The mechanically modified body was exposed.

"No wonder these mechanics like to wear robes. If you go out like this, it will really scare a lot of people. Xia Houlin looked at the body with metal fittings inlaid all over his body, and he had to admire the transformation of his body by these mechanical people.

However, the methods of the Mechanopathy are clearly oriented towards practicality, so they do not pay attention to the appearance of the modified body. As a result, they don't look like humans, but rather a bunch of cyborg robots, and they're very scary.

"Your Excellency, you seem to be curious about this body of mine. By the way, your body transformation is very fine. It's almost no different from a normal human. "The Wood Magi was also curious about the structure of Xiahoulin's mechanical body.

This kind of technology, which hardly shows any transformation, does not seem to have appeared in the current casting world.

"If Your Excellency wants such a biochemical body, my warship can make such a transformation for you. It only takes a few hours. Xia Houlin knew that such conditions in front of him would definitely be able to impress the Woodsman.

Truth be told, if you have a beautiful appearance, no one likes to have your face transformed beyond recognition. If given the chance, the Magi Mechanica doesn't mind restoring their human appearance.

And now that Xiahou Lin is really able to transform the people of the Mechanic Sect, the Wood Magi originally intended to change his appearance.
