Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 319. Luo Jia's doubts

Since the ship that Hades was thinking of was still in the Rust galaxy, the broken sword was temporarily placed in the stasis force field of the black ship, guarded by soulless people layer by layer.

Hades decided to find an opportunity to ask the Figure King if he would accept the sword, and if the Figure King would not accept it, he would throw it directly into the star.

Regarding the arrangement of Hades, the emperor seems not satisfied with it. Although the broken sword has a rather unbearable past, if Hades were to translate what the emperor said to him, it would be——

Because of the specialness of this broken sword, it can be quickly reattached with a new subspace meaning, and even on the physical level, this broken sword is first-class sharp.

This strengthened Hades' determination to throw the sword out. This sword is so good, why don't you want it, the Emperor?
And after catching this big fish on the first night, there will no longer be any targets as big as that night in the perfect city.

According to the identity of the corpse that night, Hades managed to figure out a small cult faction, the number of people in the organization was small, most of them were Colchis, and they were older.

Through screening, Hades was able to determine that this was Colchis, the remnant of the previous religion that was the home planet of Luojia.

As for why the religious legacy of Colchis appeared in the perfect city... Hades easily discovered that most of these people were the entourage of the bottom-level entourage of the Word Bearers Legion by controlling the various data investigation rights obtained by the planetary governor. Mobile is stationed in the perfect city.

Several Word Bearers communicated with people in the organization from time to time. After deciphering the cult's self-created language, Hades undoubtedly saw the name of the Chief Priest of the Word Bearers——

Erebus.

And as Hades dug, more and more clues pointed to the name.

...Hades is ready for execution.

【Law of Faith】

In the past few days, Lorgar has been feeling restless, and a certain low-pitched foreboding seized him, which made it difficult for him to concentrate on praying.

But it wasn't supposed to be like this, Lorgar thought, their legions were about to shed the glory of the God-Emperor on a civilization without a single soldier, just like they had repeated a hundred times before, Lorgar convinced them, they Willing to convert.

He should have felt calm and happy about this. He was not a general, not a person who likes blood and fire. If there is someone among the many brothers who can bluntly say that he does not like force and is not good at war-then that person It can only be Lorgar.

The other brothers were either obsessed with violence or ashamed to point it out to themselves.

Only Lorgar could accept this calmly in his heart, and was delighted by his own recognition.

But now... a certain long-held calm was broken, and an ominous premonition came, with a vague sense of powerlessness.

Lorgar felt uneasy, and the Primarch carefully concealed this emotion, but there were still people around him who were familiar enough with him and aware of this uneasiness.

On the seventh day that Lorgar had hidden himself deep in the meditation room, his adoptive father Kor Phaeron and the head priest Erebus knocked on the heavy marble door.

The rich smell of blood floated into their nostrils, carrying a strong salty smell.

Lorgar was kneeling there silently, holding the Holy Word in one hand, and the long whip covered with thorns and thorns in the other. The rough long whip hung down, and sticky blood dripped from it.

He was clad in a dark reddish-brown robe of linen, sheets of rough cloth clinging to the primarch's skin, soaking them with blood before drying and tearing.

The Primarch did not look back at the two uninvited guests, he held his head high and questioned the Emperor's portrait hanging high in the center of the room.

Col Phaeron and Erebus certainly knew what to do in this situation, they sat down silently and patiently on the floor without bloodstains.

The high-pitched voice of the Primarch finally stopped, and Lorgar gasped. After a long silence, his breathing became steady again. He stood up stiffly, and rehung the whip.

Then he turned around and looked back at the two visitors calmly, with the waveless lake in his golden eyes.

The Primarch sat on the ground, holding the Holy Word in his hand.

"It's the seventh day, my lord, are you alright?"

Kor Phaeron spoke first, and Lorgar felt that the old man's words contained a trace of a father's concern for his son.

[I tried to get calm, but... something was happening, my soul was so unsettled. 】

"What are you worried about? Under your guidance, the legion has successfully captured one planet after another without leaving a trace of blood."

Lorgar's mouth curled into a smile,
【It's not just me, Erebus, my chief pastor, without you, we wouldn't be so successful. 】

【but,】

Luo Jia shook the Holy Words in his hand, and the heavy book cover gave him an inexplicable sense of security,
[This victory did not bring me peace, I tried to pray, but my faith did not answer me, on the contrary... He became... strange. 】

Kor Phaeron looked at the Primarch worriedly, his voice trembling,
"He... what happened to him?"

Lorgar shook his head slightly,

[It should be something happened to me, I can clearly perceive my abnormality, just like in Colchis, in those dry and deep and endless nights, the ignorant teenager woke up from his dream in horror, and then found that the eyes in his eyes And the blood that shimmered with golden light dripped from his ears. 】

Luojia looked at Kor Phalun. As Luojia's adoptive father, Kor Phalun could clearly see the pain after the calm.

[At that time, I regarded this as the prophecy of the gods, and I was a chosen believer. I clearly remember the feelings of those years, but now——they have returned and enveloped me again. 】

After Lorgar finished speaking, he covered his eyes with his hands tiredly, and wiped his face deeply.

And for a moment when the Primarch looked away, Kor Phaeron and Erebus looked at each other - they were obviously confused by what the Primarch perceived, according to the instructions of the gods, the movement of the stars... no This is the moment.

Did they change their plans?But for reasons of caution, the two did not place the mediums of communication with the gods in the Word Bearers Legion-they were all properly placed in the corners of the planets directly controlled by the Word Bearers.

Finally, Kor Phaeron spoke cautiously,
"My lord, what do you think... this means?"

Lorgar shook his head,

【I'm still trying to understand him, but self-punishment and lashing have gradually lost their original benefits, meditation and self-enlightenment have become... blurred, as if He is...】

Lorgar's voice gradually lowered, and finally he stopped, saying nothing.

A long silence enveloped this blood-smelling room, the flames in the charcoal brazier crackled, and the torture tools made of brass gleamed inside. What should Kor Phaeron and Erebus say? This was how they had guided the Primarch's heart ever since.

But the Primarch's words made them suspicious, they didn't get the news of the advance enlightenment... Why did the gods act in advance?Or... the gods didn't take action on this matter?

Finally, Erebus licked his chapped lips, and he said,
"My lord, you are always worried about whether your actions are correct or not, but there is no need to question this. We spread the truth according to the oracle, and the wise gods will reward believers—this may just be your temporary bad state. "

Lorgar opened his mouth,

[True believers do not need rewards, the truth itself is the greatest reward He bestows on us, Erebus. 】

Erebus smiled,
"Yes, my lord, that is what I meant, and we—"

A quick knock on the door interrupted him, and the head priest frowned disapprovingly.

【Please come in. 】

A priest was standing at the door with sweat on his head, his eyes were full of horror, he faltered and said,
"My lord—you, you need to read a star language message—Perfect City, Perfect City sent us a distress message."

"They said—they said that the God Emperor ordered the Perfect City to be burned, and that the Word Bearers should return immediately to the Perfect City to be punished."

Lorgar stood up abruptly, and the Holy Word on his lap fell to the ground with a muffled "bang".

　A little late, yes, eh?

　　By the way, why does the pattern on the broken sword look like Barbarus? Because on the planet Devon, Horus was stabbed at the end. In the original book, "Like Barbarus" is used abruptly to describe Devon. But in that episode, the death guard, Barbarus can only be said to be out of reach - so here I feel that it is the connection between Nurgle and Barbarus.

　　And the language of the Four Gods is also very similar to Colchis—it was also chosen in advance.
