Hades' hand holding the battle report paused slightly, and he blinked in confusion, and the ornate words of the victory in the Ultramarines report were looking at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

The emperor next to Hades spoke casually, and the emperor himself was checking the information that Makado had handed in.

"No...... It's nothing, maybe someone is scolding me behind my back. ”

The Emperor looked up and glanced at Hades meaningfully, but did not explain his actions, the Emperor paused, and instead asked,

"Hades, what do you think of the original?"

Hades opened his mouth, he didn't think it was a topic that could be finished in a day, it was difficult to draw conclusions about nineteen primordials with very different personalities-

Even for Motarian, it took him a lot of time to figure out the brain circuit of Motarian, the big brother, after counting in years.

At the same time, the identity of the questioner also makes the question a proposition.

But Hades has a panacea......

The smile on the corner of Hades' mouth twitched twice,

"Ah...... What's this...... It's all kind of like you. ”

Then Hades watched in amazement as a slightly bright smile gradually appeared on the emperor's face.

The emperor seems to be very satisfied with this sentence,

"They have a lot to offer, but they do resemble me – not exactly, and not all of them are given by me."

Hades' answer seemed to have piqued the emperor's interest, and he continued to ask Hades with great interest,

"Hades, you've been with my son Motarian before, what kind of primordial do you think Motarian is?"

The Emperor noticed that when Hades was looking through the reports of the different legions, he was very interested in the reports of the Ultramarines, the Blood Angels, and the White Scars.

Although Hades also spends a lot of time on the reports of the Iron Warriors and the Iron Hand, staring at strategic maps and data calculations and simply staring at the pictures of the Space Marines are obviously two different reactions.

Hades stared at the emperor, and he put down the battle report in his hand - this was still a proposition, and it was far sharper than just now.

Hades said in a serious tone,

"Motarian is an excellent Legionn, and under his leadership, the Death Guard has a strong cohesive force. At the same time, his personal stance is also reliable enough, Motarian is extremely loyal to pure humans, extremely rejects psionic energy, subspace and aliens, and Motarian and the Death Guard are extremely loyal and stable, so I personally recommend increasing the material assistance to the Death Guard. ”

The emperor smiled and asked nonchalantly,

"Why are you getting nervous, Hades?"

If the heart can be concretized, then Hades is now a sweaty soybean.

yes, why, Neos?

"Hades, I'm just ......"

The emperor spoke slowly,

"I want to have a casual conversation, and I'm happy with Motarian, although I know he has some friction with Machado."

Hades stared at the emperor, who carefully arranged his words,

"I need to make sure you don't make some bad adjustments to the future of Motarian and the Death Guard because of my words."

The Emperor shook his head,

"You are too worried, I am not perfect, and so are my children, Leon Johnson is unkind, Perturabo is stubborn, Horus is arrogant and hypocritical, Robert Killiman is impulsive...... It is a fact that the demigods that people talk about are flawed. ”

"Now that you already know, Neos, why don't you mention them?"

The Emperor was silent.

"I'm not omnipotent, how do I get Killiman to stop his sometimes overzealous thinking? I can't do it, Hades, the Primordial is a miracle thing I have created, and their growth is destined to be accompanied by painful and broken tribulations, which, if artificially arranged, are destined to consume untold amounts of manpower and materials. ”

"There is no wall in this world that will never collapse, there is no steel that will never rust, as long as it is human, there is the possibility of falling into the abyss."

"What's more,"

The emperor picked up the tea and slowly took a sip,

"Even if they don't grow, as generals of the Great Expedition, as tools, they are qualified."

He looked at Hades, and Hades looked at him silently, although Hades's subspace projection was as disgusting as ever, and the emperor couldn't parse Hades's mood from this disgust—

But Hades would understand his words, the emperor thought.

Sure enough, Hades scratched his head to himself and began rummaging through the snack box in front of him for food.

"Well, Neos, I would suggest you pay more attention to Fogen, Perturab, Horus, ......"

The Emperor nodded,

"Now to answer my question, Hades, what kind of primordial is Motarian?"

Hades' gaze at the Macurag snack shifted back to the Emperor, Hades let out a long sigh, and then he spoke,

"It's like a little report to the parents, Neos."

The emperor was unmoved, staring at Hades with a blank face, as if to say that Hades must provide the same information that could be equivalent to what he had just said.

Hades felt as if the emperor was saying with his eyes, and if Hades avoided the topic again, he would call Macado over - and let the young man clean him up.

Hades waved his hand,

"Uh...... Motarian ...... I think he must have been born with a liking for humans, because he was abducted by us at the first sight of them, and his aversion to psionic energy and oppression was nurtured and cemented in the liberation of Barbarus. ”

"There's so little talk because Barbaros is like that, you know, Neos, where people don't talk and don't talk, only I'm always idle, but Motarian has a good sense of humor—though I think it's better if he doesn't."

Hades paused, as if struggling with whether to say it or not, but finally he spoke,

"Actually,"

Hades said,

"I can feel that in the beginning, most of Motarian's motivation was [fear], he always seemed to think that things were going to go in a bad way, so he would prepare for it or fall into depression, and it made him not trust people very much."

And then there'...... After meeting humans and meeting the Death Guard, his motivation gradually changed to "Hope to Protect a Being", so he has always liked to stay with the Barbaros or go to the Death Guard training room. ”

This would be a good quality, provided that he finishes his work before going to play.

"He didn't want to lose them...... But at the same time, he does not have a strong desire to change the situation. Unless the situation is dangerous enough to ruin it, Motarian likes to stay the same, whether it's Barbarus or the Death Guard. ”

"Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's puzzling, but it's good that I persuaded him to come back."

Hades was silent for a moment,

“…… I wish I had persuaded him back. ”

Hades shifted his gaze, and he saw that the emperor was staring at him with considerable interest, and seemed to be pleased with Hades's words.

"I'm very happy,"

The emperor said, Hades listened to the emperor speechlessly, and he felt so much that the emperor was saying that he was happy at him every day, was this some kind of mantra?

"You are indeed a friend who cares about Motarian, not someone who is simply confused by the characteristics of the Original, and you see the real him."

Hades smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly rampant,

"I'm a psionic insulator, Neos, when have I ever been deluded by the nature of the Primordial? Their aura of charisma doesn't work for me. ”

The emperor smiled, he didn't speak, and glanced at the Ultramarines report that Hades had put down earlier.

All right! I'm out!

The words are out of the Demon Ascending Fugen, so handsome, my eyes loyal to Motarian faltered slightly for a second.

Well, I'm still not too interested in the emperor.
