Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Skadi's fortress system is different from other worlds, especially most fortress worlds, because in addition to soldiers, there are a large number of subordinates, family members, and other people who need to be dealt with, and their people's livelihood is focused on A small market on the east side of the castle wall.

The place is not big, and the population is not large at present. It can be easily evacuated when danger occurs. It is not far from the castle, and the buildings are also very simple. However, they are still heavy and do not make Skadi Rumming inseparable and unique. landscape.

I can buy drinks and food there, and I can meet ruthless friends. Although the core is not crowded, it does not necessarily lack a humanistic atmosphere. However, those houses made of dilapidated iron sheets and cloth are not strong and warm, and are suffocating. When the cold came, the inhabitants entered the castle, and after half a month of long boredom and difficulty, the stars came there again.

Bless the God and Emperor, when people took care of their belongings and houses that were damaged by the cold, they gathered together tomorrow in the largest building in the narrow gathering place. The room was filled with candles and engraved with the emperor's honor. And a beautiful place with tons of benches.

The priest talked about kindness and many moral principles, and the people were also humble and pious. Soon the place was full, and even many Skadi soldiers came there because of their personal religious needs.

And before the prayer actually started, someone in the chapel was discussing something that made most people curious, that is, what is the situation with the old monsters living in the greenhouse area, which is far away from the castle and close to the edge? Already?

Many people thought that the old man was old and strange. They heard that he was a heretic before. They didn't know why the lord accepted him, but they had to admit that the disliked neighbor was full of mystery and curiosity.

A lady opened her breadbasket and gave food to the people who were hungry after the cold winter and commented. "He is probably dead. He has lived in Skadi for many years. Even when the heretics invaded and ruled that place, he had never seen such a cold moon."

"It's too cold. Even if they were outside the castle and the lord gave them a lot of supplies, some people would die due to poor health. He had a hut and a greenhouse. Even if he saw the lord leading people to help him, he didn't think That big guy and the wheat guys are alive."

Most people couldn't help but nod. They didn't like the giant, rather they were afraid of it, but they didn't understand him, and they didn't know why the lord valued the big shed so much.

A polite man spoke. "Miss Arya was with him during that time. The poor child must have been kidnapped. He saw her maid running frantically out of the shed. God, he couldn't believe it. The first duchess of Skadi What will happen to that monster..."

The friend next to him sighed. "Didn't your lord go to the greenhouse? Everyone knows that things must be settled!"

People nodded, and during the service, they allowed the neighbors to increase their feelings and exchange things. They also agreed to two things, that is, Arya's cruel child was rescued by the lord and the old man died of the cold. Their There was a flash of relaxation in the mood, and there was a lot of sarcasm. After all, life flashed in front of them, and most people couldn't let go of their experience of being enslaved some time ago. Many Skadi people felt that the heretic, the outsider, deserved his punishment.

They were all talking. "That weirdo never prayed to the emperor, and there was no sound of scriptures in his greenhouse. How did he grow to be so big? It must be the power of heresy."

"He saw him lifting equipment as high as his whole body to maintain his fields. The lord should have seen that he could work before he became kind. God, that power is really a terrible witchcraft!"

The power of words is great, especially in such a simple and ruthless community. Soon, the complex feelings wronged by the old man became more and more strange in that narrow place. Many people recognized that the heretical old man had a particularly terrifying physique. And powerful power, others are cold, rude, and have a bad personality, but a living person I know really died because of the storm, and I can't help but feel pity.

Soon such feelings made people start to comment on the old man's "life," someone said. "He saw Miss Arya this time. She was working with the old man. She must have been brainwashed by witchcraft..."

Someone echoed. "No, she doesn't want to go back to the castle. He can't believe it. It's warm and comfortable there, and she's so close to the Lord of Skadi. She definitely won't do it if he doesn't!"

I dare not imagine, jealousy, jealousy that that weirdo is so fond of the first duchess of Skadi, or that the lord often visits him, or that kind of strange power, mixed with fear, the unknown, that kind of emotion makes mortals Confused and ignorant.

The month of slavery in which Skadi was attacked has just ended, and there is extreme xenophobia. Even outsiders must be recognized by the lord before they can integrate into the community, not to mention a person who never prays to them, never greets them, and never A smiling giant?

But that kind of discussion ended as quickly as it started. When the service started, people came quietly, and there was the sound of the pastor sorting out the brown paper outside the whole room.

The salsa music makes people feel happy, it has the low tension caused by the priest's clothes scratching the pulpit, and it has the look of the stained glass knot in the church shining on the emperor's statue.

That kind of comfort was suddenly broken, interrupted by the sound of metal pulling on the ground. People looked at the door in unison, and there was a giant over two meters tall, wearing heavy clothes. But tomorrow was different, that person The giant named Hagrid tidied his beard, took care of his messy hair, and arranged his clothes carefully.

When he appeared, his feet were lifted by the chains that bound him, and he held one leg in his arms, so as not to destroy the delicate floor of the church. Beside him walked a beautiful child who resembled the Wei Eun clan, and the two of them were like relatives. He walked into it with his hand.

The pastor was not angry at being interrupted, so he shouted in a loud voice. "Take a seat!"

Hagrid returned the favor with his beautiful church etiquette, and walked east in the most open area. The people next to him were huddled together, preferring to huddle together with strangers in order to avoid the terrifying giant. The whispers continued, marveling at Hagrid's ability to survive the cold winter.

And Hagrid refused to go east, exhaled mist, and smiled at those who were avoiding him. "No need for that, come on, they are all the Emperor's subjects."

The people looked at each other, surprised, and then looked at the priest, who nodded. "They are all the Emperor's subjects, including the one who was almost late."

After that sentence, people realized that the old man was not scary, and was even quite kind. When the first child approached, he touched Donghaige's bicep vigilantly, and whispered Han Xun to his mother in surprise. "Same as the wall!"

The previous atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Although people were not wary, there were people sitting around the old man. Arya even smiled softly, as if congratulating Hagrid for being recognized by everyone.

At this moment, the prayer that everyone was looking forward to began. Hagrid's sonorous voice was very close to the standard pronunciation, even better than the priest himself singing praises to the emperor. Soon, people's voices were guided by the giant, and on the first week after the cold winter, Gradually getting higher and stronger, it's unprecedented.

As if prayers lacked Hagrid, in the high-pitched and holy words one after another, in the bright and ruthless voice, the people of the empire realized at this moment that Hagrid was not a monster, on the contrary, he worshiped the emperor more than anyone else. Royal gentleness and kindness.

When the service ended, and the giant was surrounded by the inhabitants, it was not fear and verbal abuse, but friendly questions, curiosity, mystery, which could all be explained tomorrow, and the child hung on Hagrid's legs and arms, using his terrible strength While playing pull-ups, the adults were surprised by Hagrid's experience of serving in the Space Marines, and a retired Angel was almost a legend.

Soon, the negative attitude turned into a positive one, especially with Arya's introduction and assurance that Hagrid had become a new celebrity in Skadi, and everyone knew that by the end of the month, the dry world would The first row of ripe wheat, some people want to use them to brew, some people say they can bake bread, but Hagrid silently remembers those cruel neighbors with superhuman memory.

In the church and light of the God-Emperor, the Space Marines and mortals gathered together to chat about home life and the future, how to bake, how to make stew, and the Space Marines told the mortals how to protect their homeland and how to improve themselves.

The Silver Star in the subspace has not been so happy for thousands of years. Although compared with the countless ongoing tragedies and pain in the Empire, the Silver Sun's body is constantly being consumed by the Golden Throne, and the pain of its soul is comparable to that. , Hagrid’s reconciliation with mortals seems not worth mentioning.

But for the great father who has worked hard for mankind for his whole life, to be precise tens of thousands of years, tomorrow will be the most gratifying day after he steps into the throne. Inskadi proves to him the difference between mortals and space warriors. Cocoability, one day such an attitude will bloom everywhere in the empire, turning hell into paradise. Even if its effectiveness is very small, in an almost infinite time, human civilization will always succeed if it wants to exist, just once enough…

In the first period of time, Arya and Hagrid began to appear frequently around the city, tasting food they had never eaten before, meeting friends who were unwilling to reconcile before, and witnessing the death of old people and the birth of new lives. Hagrid became young during that time. Quite often, the old body burst out with almost endless vitality again, and Arya was also happy because her teacher got out of the wound.

During the last month of that month, Skadi arrived in the sky on a huge barge, whether it was the governor of Panlan or the cruel ship of Arya's troubled father. When the month arrived tomorrow morning, Hagrid was prepared and wiped his cheeks. He looked at the golden things outside the greenhouse, whether they were crops that filled the entire greenhouse and were swaying in the air like an ocean.

They were half a person tall, all plump, lush and golden. Arya lay in the wheat field and walked in the wheat field, enjoying the feeling and tasting the air mixed with the smell of wheat.

Tomorrow will be the most special confinement. All the vows have been completed. The residents of the town came with props. They made an agreement with Hagrid to witness the miracle tomorrow and call those soldiers to the places they like and need. .

Arya brushed the plump ears of wheat with her leg fingers, returned to the cabin, expressed her gratitude to her teacher, and shouted.

"Teacher, they have accomplished a miracle, and now..." She said mid-sentence, her little nose twitching slightly. "What is that?"

Hagrid stretched. He had been bent over for too long, and his huge body squatted eastward. From the fire, there was something red. To be precise, it was a cake made of wheat, eggs, cream, and milk. , something made of sugar.

"No, come and try it?"

Arya covered her mouth in disbelief, and trotted to her seat excitedly, tasting something extremely soft and delicious with a spoon... "Hmm~"

She made a cruel sound, and then Ma Zi covered her mouth and blushed. "Ha...that is indeed far beyond his imagination..."

Hagrid smiled, picked up the spoon and took a bite of the cake, and then he had to admit that even the indifferent taste system of the Space Marines could feel the taste, although the source of those tastes was not the taste system.

Each of them tasted it slowly, but the "uninvited guest" was also attracted by the aroma. When the door of the wooden house was slowly opened, the guy who came uninvited and did not knock on the door revealed Arya and Hagrid. smile.

He commented as the Lord of Skadi sidled over to the table and picked up the cutlery and put the crumbled cake into his mouth. "It really is the most delicious food in the dark universe."

Arya said unforgivingly. "He doesn't know some planetary governor who eats old people and little girls."

Hagrid asked. "Please pick up the child?"

Alan Bair nodded, that sentence was a pun, the child was referring to Wheat, and of course Arya, she did not belong to Skadi, she did not refer to the pearl in Pan Lan's palm, and that did not refer to the place where she was born. , just like wheat asking to go to the mill when it is ripe.

But Alan Bayer said suddenly. "No, that's not the question. How can I put it?" He stretched out his legs towards the cake again, but Arya suddenly held his legs and arms down.

"Don't show off!" The girl puffed her face.

Alan Bair sighed. "Okay, he knows that our cake is not easy to eat..."

He said with an expression as if he had been mistreated for all his hard work. "He convinced my robot daddy. He needs a few bags of wheat to get Pan Lan back for analysis and confirm Arya's growth during that time."

"In other words, well, the agricultural output there is not enough for you to do. Now it's up to the giant ship to come and get my results. If the level is up to standard and I am sure I can help Pan Lan, I can stay in Skadi." Further study!" Alan Beyer took the last piece of cake.

"How about it? Is his intercession enough for him to eat the cake?"

Arya wiped the excited tears from her eyes, yes, no "sweat", and answered. "You can eat as much as you want..."
