Chapter 171: The Inquisitor's Request

In the dimly lit corridor, only the footsteps of me and Addy were heard. I was used to wanting to follow him, but he deliberately slowed down and stayed with me.

"What's going on next?" Add asked.

"First of all, we have to find a place to sleep. Hopefully the cabin has already been cleaned, otherwise I can clean it myself. "Where chaos and heretics lived, cleaning is purifying with the flames of sacred promethium.

"No, first you're going to the funeral." Eddie said.

That's right, although they don't belong to the same battle sequence, but after all, they have fought side by side. As long as you can move, you have the obligation to go to the funeral.

"Next came the banquet. It's hosted by Silent Blade, and you're going to love it. Eddie continued.

It's delightful to think about, and I seem to have smelled the rich, fragrant smell of grease when grilling mammoths. Sleep could indeed be postponed a little longer.

"Next, it's a brother's building. Don't you think, you should propose to Sylvia? ”

All right...... Wait, what kind of magical turn is this? Warhammer: Dark Millennium, 171

"Ask your heart, my brother. Can you tell yourself without shame that you don't have any affection for her? ”

"If I have a good feeling, I should not be just a battlemancer now."

"Wait, it's a different question. This is a matter between men and women, and there is no room for compromise to let you know? He moved closer to me and put his hand around my shoulder.

"I don't know." I'm a little dazed.

"Imagine, then, that it won't be long before she becomes the wife of another man. She would live with him, accompany him hag-g, give birth to children of his blood and bear his last name. Even when she went on a mission, she had a picture of him on her chest. Come to think of it, it's just a matter of your thoughts, you had a chance to be that man, why would you give up? "His arm was getting harder and harder, and he was strangling my neck, making my head dizzy.

For a moment, I was indeed enraged by his words, but the psionics' training calmed me down quickly. I have more than a hundred ways to restrain my negativity in peacetime, and in battle, I can turn this negativity into anger that pours out on the heads of the enemies of the Empire, along with my hatred for my enemies.

I didn't open my mouth to answer, he could read minds anyway.

"What are you afraid of? You once said you would not be afraid! But he was wasting his tongue and tongue tirelessly.

The correct way to say it is that I am not afraid of the enemy. But the world is so cruel that there are so many things for me to be in awe.

"Are you afraid of a woman?" He was amazed.

What's not to do? A boy of sixteen years of age—or thirteen or fourteen, if the circumstances were harsh—could take up a gun and serve as a conscription against the enemy, but the conditions for marriage were much higher, and the more common rule in the defense forces was that he had to be at least twenty-five years old and have served for a full year, and there were even more stringent conditions in individual armies, such as rank and merit, not to mention the friars' regiments, which simply did not allow active soldiers to marry. This does not show how difficult a woman is to deal with an enemy than an enemy. Not to mention the army, even in our tribe, teenagers have to hunt beasts before they are eligible to get married, women are much more dangerous than beasts.

Add sighed, as if he had been defeated by me. But the inquisitor would not be defeated lightly, and he soon regained his morale, "But men always need to get married." You're thirty-five years old. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Harvey is forty-seven years old and unmarried.

"How do you know?"

And it's not just you who know how to read minds, and besides, there are some things that you don't need to read minds to see. Warhammer: Dark Millennium, 171

"Why are you looking at the losers? Do you want to learn from those who are successful? Look at me, I'm not even thirty years old, and there are so many women around me. How's that, envy, right? Jealous, right? ”

Whether you're a psyker or an inquisitor, you're not acting normally. This is a disease, and it must be cured. I have a tranquilizer issued by the Wehrmacht, do you want one?

"No, the quality of our inquisitives is better."

"So, you have more than ten wives?" I asked. It is a matter of personal concern for my brother, and it is understandable that I should be duly concerned.

"Why do you ask?" This time it was his turn to be at a loss.

"I know a space wolf who had more than a dozen wives when he was a mortal. Well, the transformation years of the Space Marines should be seventeen years old......"

Eddie was like a slap in the face, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and said: "Actually, I can only get three or five, this woman, isn't it expensive......

"But I think your monastery is very good."

"What? Do you think it's nice to have women who are stronger and savage than men and who only have one tendon in their heads? Have you been in the army for so long that even your aesthetics have been distorted? Well, you sue me, what is the standard of a good woman in your eyes? ”

"Be fit, be obedient, that's all."

"It's easy, but you must have misunderstood something. The convent is only in partnership with our Inquisition, and I have no right to order the nuns directly. So there is no way to convince from anything. In fact, I didn't get any of those nuns. ”

"How is this possible?" I was surprised, "What about your psionic powers?" ”

"Nuns also have psychic powers, they are blessed. And don't you think that as an inquisitor, it is a very shameful thing to be burned by the nuns as a heresy? ”

"Oh, I can see that you don't have the guts to your nun, do you?"

"It's not that they don't have guts, battle nuns are battle nuns, you don't treat them as women, they never expect anyone to treat them as women, they even think it's an insult, you know? A true female ig should be knowledgeable and gentle, but also assertive, not only obedient as you say, such as the ladies of the aristocratic families, and the clerical and medical nuns of the monastery. ”

"Not interested, physically weak, unable to produce strong offspring."

"My mother is a law scribe nun!" Add raised his voice.

"Oh, are you strong? At least there are two women on this ship who are stronger than you, and I don't mean those fighting nuns. "I was annoyed enough by him, and my words gradually increased, and I had the interest of bickering.

"I'm from the world of normal people, don't compare me to those dead worlds!" Add looked a little angry, "Okay, so you're going to go home and find a woman in your barbarian tribe?" ”

"Of course, Sogen's women, if not as strong as Fenris and Katachan, are much better than most of the Empire's civilized worlds. And I was a respected shaman, and now I am a starry walker, and when I go home, I can be worshipped like a god - of course, that doesn't make sense, but at least it's easy to find a woman who is absolutely obedient. ”

Suddenly, Add seemed to realize that the topic had unconsciously deviated far away, so he immediately returned to the topic, "What about Sylvia?" She's even stronger than you, and she's a lower rank than you. ”

Soon it won't be. It is no exaggeration to say that with her family background, even if she does not experience any battles in the future, she can become a lieutenant colonel before the age of thirty and a colonel when she is about forty years old. If she had more military exploits, it would not be impossible for her to become a general at the age of forty. And I, Lieutenant Colonel, have come to an end, and this is just an honorary rank, and I can't take it seriously.

"It turns out that this is the essence of the problem, and the outlook is indeed gloomy enough." Add sighed, and suddenly regained his interest, "But then again, don't you think it's quite nice to be professional?" Marry a general......"

He deliberately said loudly in a coarser tone and in a military-like tone: "Report to the general, I ask that to be adopted tonight...... Oops...... Posture...... The emperor is above, and you dare to beat the judges! ”

I put my hands in my trouser pockets and said nonchalantly, "What's that, it's not a strange thing for the Inquisitor to disappear out of thin air inexplicably, is it?" ”

"Well, you're the older brother. Now we know the nature of the problem. Military rank or something, it's normal to stay in one position for the rest of your life and not move your nest or be promoted, as long as I take care of it a little bit......"

It's not just ranks. The Imperial Navy and the Imperial Defense Force, their own positions are already worlds apart, the female soldiers of the Defense Forces marrying the Navy is an honor to ascend to the sky, and the female soldiers of the Navy marrying the Defense Forces are ruined in this life. The difference between the status of the nobles and the commoners is a world of difference, the male ig of the aristocracy may marry a commoner woman, and the female ig of the aristocracy will never marry a commoner. There are some things that you can't change even if you're an inquisitor, that's a fact of the Empire. Perhaps, even the emperor could not change this fact.

"Yes, this is a fact that even the emperor cannot change. But the emperor can transfer a soldier of the defense army to the navy, and he can also elevate a commoner to a nobleman. ”

But you can't! Inquisitors are usually just adept at branding people as heretics and then burning them at the stake, regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners.

"That's right. Otherwise, I can do something to her family, and then she'll be a commoner......"

Get lost!

"Brother, think about it, are you really a soldier of the Defense Forces?" Eddie asked very solemnly and seriously this time.

Of course...... Well, strictly speaking, it's not. My true identity is a registered psyker of the Empire, but I have only been seconded to the Defence Force as an advisor. But most of the time I've forgotten about this fact.

Well, I can be seconded to the Defense Forces, and naturally I can also be seconded to the Navy. And this kind of transfer is not only a matter within the military department, it seems that the trial court can really intervene?

"Also, are you really a civilian? You know, even the vast majority of nobles never had the opportunity to go to Terra to meet the emperor in their lifetime. He said again.

Seem...... It seems like...... I really shouldn't be counted as a civilian...... I'm not sure, I don't usually care about that. No army cares if you are a nobleman or a commoner, they only care if you can fight, whether you can bring victory and honor.

Besides, Sylvia didn't care if she was a nobleman or not, she was proud to be a Fenris. So why don't you follow Fenris's rules? ”

Oh?

"If you get knocked out, drag it home directly, don't all of you barbarian tribes like to do this?"

That's the approach of the most cowardly and unsuccessful people, and it's usually not very easy to succeed. Women are important assets in the tribe and will not be left out for others to hunt. Barbarians tend to value honor more than the so-called civilized people, and glorious warriors will propose marriage with a rich dowry, and need to go through a grand competition to win back their women. Of course, if it is a hostile tribe, it will be simpler, just kill all the men and take back the women.

If the object is Sylvia, then the dowry may require a cruiser, and then A-A will have to make at least a dozen space wolves. Don't you see Sylvia brother to the wolves, who won't allow their sister to marry a weakling.

"With the battle we're facing, you don't have a chance to take a cruiser on your own. Compared to that, A-A and a dozen wild wolves are actually easier for you, right? ”

No, this kind of competition is a battle of strength and skill, and no element of witchcraft is allowed. Even if I follow a wolf recruit one-on-one, I'm basically dead.

"When did you become so unconfident? Think about when we were on the Black Ship, you were the overlord of an entire ship, and you could fight more than a thousand people with your fists. ”

Don't be so stealthy, they have never gathered more than twenty people, and a thousand psionics who have lost their psionic energy are far less dangerous than a wolf warrior.

Also, you must know that Sylvia only presented herself as a Fenris in front of the wolves. I don't believe that I tried to meet the Imperial Navy, and I guarantee that she is more like a nobleman than anyone else.

"Don't think of people's hearts so darkly, okay? I thought you were a decent soldier. ”

First, you just reminded me that I am a psyker, not a soldier. Second, if people's hearts are not so dark, what do you heretical inquisitors do?

"No matter what we Inquisitors do, it's not my job to introduce you to someone anyway, even if you're my brother. So aren't you curious, why am I helping you like this? ”

There's nothing to be curious about, and although the Inquisitors are mysterious creatures, their behavior patterns aren't that complicated.

"Add, my brother, when you need me, whether I'm alone or leading an army, you can summon me to any battlefield and face any murderous enemy. However, you can't expect me to take a battleship or even a fleet with me. That's beyond my ability. ”

"You didn't try, you didn't push your full potential, how do you know it's beyond your ability? Did you foresee your victory when you first faced that powerful demon? ”

With a wave of his hand, Add stopped me from speaking and continued, "Maybe it seems to you that I'm just cultivating my own power. Have you ever thought about what kind of enemy our Inquisitors are facing? If we fail once, how much will the empire suffer? You know, I've suffered a great defeat when I watched my esteemed mentor be overwhelmed by the mutineer crowd and be completely powerless myself. The Emperor's blessing will not stay with me forever, and the Emperor's glory will not shine on every corner of the Empire, and in the face of the powerful uo-luo, the power of the individual is completely insignificant, so I swear that I will do whatever it takes to gather a quick and powerful strike force, and I will do whatever it takes to do so. ”

He quickened two steps in front of me, turned his hands and pressed my shoulders, his gaze piercing my eyes, "This is not for my own sake, but for the sake of the Empire's survival." For this purpose, every qiē price is worth it. Maybe you will have to face a woman who can dictate to you and is stronger than you for the rest of your life, but for the sake of the empire, why can't you sacrifice in this regard? What's more, you still have a good impression of her. ”

Perhaps it was his sincere and enthusiastic gaze, or perhaps he had secretly used my undetectable psychic faculties, but in short, I was a little shaken, and I must have accepted his advice—it turned out that my marriage could rise to such a strict height as the life and death of the empire—and I sincerely gave birth to a lofty sense of glory and mission.

The sound of abrupt footsteps sounded beside her, and the figures of several battle nuns turned out of a dark fork in the road, and the first one glanced at us, and quickly reached out to stop her sister, and went back the same way, and the footsteps were much softer when she returned.
