Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The calm lake surface reflects little bits of light. There is no ripple on the mirror-like lake surface. The mountains and blue sky are reflected on it, just like a world in reflection.

Vito looked around at the surrounding mountains. The tops of those peaks were covered with white snow, the towering peaks reached into the sky, and the magnificent virgin forests were also scattered on those mountains.

The Inquisitor was also walking in a forest. He was walking among the magnificent woodland by the lake. The thick trees pointed straight to the sky. Those trees had grown for hundreds of years. They were so thick that it took ten people holding hands to see their outline. Hold on.

Birds are singing sweetly on the branches, the footsteps of animals are running in the forest, and the breeze blows from the lake, making the forest rustle. This is a beautiful world, a real paradise world.

Vito sincerely lamented that although the people here were ignorant and missed many achievements of civilization, they were also lucky. They were able to live in such a beautiful paradise instead of making up for the toxic gases, waste materials, dangerous gangs and living conditions in factories. In the dark and chaotic streets.

It is beautiful and peaceful here. The wind is blowing on your face, you can listen to the rustle of the forest, feel the temperature of the sun and the peaceful natural environment, and breathe the air that is not pungent. Indeed, this place is definitely the best place in today's Milky Way. A slice of heaven.

It's really ironic. After all, next to this planet is the Eye of Terror, the source of all destruction and fear in the galaxy, but it is so beautiful and peaceful here. Cadia is also in this star field. , then it’s a completely different picture.

"Why did you think of wearing local clothes?" Vito asked, the sun shone through the treetops into countless spots and shone on his face. Lilith walked beside her, the breeze blowing her skirt. .

She raised her head and closed her eyes, and the fragmented sunlight shone on her face. From this side, she looked so beautiful. It was completely different from her usual mysterious beauty, but a natural beauty, a source of beauty. The beauty of peace and tranquility.

"I have always wanted to experience it. After all, there are many memories in the Middle Ages in your memory. Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, those fragmented memories are still so clear."

"You read my memory again? I remember I told you clearly not to touch my memory fragments, right?" Vito said unhurriedly, obviously not paying much attention to it. After all, he knew that you really Thinking about restraining a Slaanesh demon is basically a dream.

Lilith shrugged and jumped onto a fallen pine tree. Standing on it, she ran briskly across the broken log, "Well, I watched it before you told me not to watch it. You have so many memories of that time. ”

Indeed, even now, Vito can still remember many things from that time, from the East, the West, and Arabia in the middle. It has to be said that a lot of things did happen at that time, and those fragmented memories are mixed together. Together, it made him remember that he had lived for so long.

He remembered the Colosseum in Rome, the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Theodore Walls in Constantinople, the top of the mountain in Jerusalem, and the quiet nights in the Port of Alexandria.

When he remembers the nights in Xi'an, he can also think of the lantern towers in Luoyang City, the night parties of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and the moon-viewing nights in Bianliang in the Song Dynasty.

Vito smiled and looked at Lilith running across the broken tree like a little girl, "Then are you still going to wear Hanfu? I guess you can see those memories."

"It can be considered, provided I can find it." Lilith said and jumped down. She turned around and walked on the forest path with her hands behind her back, while Vito walked beside him.

Behind them, the tall giant was walking in the forest, and Lancelot's black armor cast dots of light. He looked at the lake, and countless memories came to his mind. Memories that had already been blurred there came to his mind.

He remembered that there was such a lake in his hometown, where he would swim, dive and play with all his friends whose names he had forgotten now.

Even Coloni, the name of his hometown has become so unfamiliar, but this place makes him homesick. Even though he joined the battle group and fought in the dark galaxy for more than two centuries, home is still home. It will bring back memories for him.

Lancelot's iron boots stepped on the path of fallen leaves. He looked at the children playing by the river. They were floating in the water and waving wooden sticks. Soon they noticed these outsiders.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These young children did not have the slightest fear of alien visitors. They immediately became interested and all ran over from the lake.

Lancelot looked at them and ran to Vito. He said something to the children, and then "introduced" them to his place. The lively children gathered around the Angel of Death and narrated each one in a childish voice. There is no question of any reverence.

Lancelot looked towards Vito, seeking help from the inquisitor, but the latter waved his hand knowingly and walked away. Lancelot cursed secretly and looked at the children under him at a loss.

Vito walked to the lake. He sat on a stone and looked at the beautiful lake. Lilith also lifted up her skirt and sat next to him. Lily looked in the direction of Lancelot. Obviously, the knight of Caliban It can easily deal with traitors, demons and heretics, and it can also frighten those idiots who are disloyal and incompetent, but facing a group of innocent children, a pure soul is at a loss.

Vito laughed when he saw Lancelot's panic. He laughed and patted his thigh, "Fuck, I really should have brought a camera, but don't worry, he will take care of it."

The judge said, looking at the mirror-like lake surface. He leaned on the stone and looked at it calmly, "But now, I want to take a rest, do you mind?"

Lilith smiled and leaned against Vito. Her silver head rested on Vito's arms and she closed her eyes. Her long silver hair fell from her head and fell on Vito's arms like a waterfall.

Vito closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun. A voice appeared in his mind, a familiar voice.

"Damn girl, you can just let my believer get stabbed and still pretend to be young." The female voice said jealously.

Vito smiled and looked at the reflection on the water, looking at the silhouette of the woman in it, but even if he couldn't see it clearly, he could still feel the emotion so concretely, and so did Lilith.

She smiled mockingly, and then hugged Vito's arm tighter.

"Lord Angel! Lord Angel! Can everyone become an angel? Can only nobles?" a little boy asked excitedly. Lancelot knelt down and looked at the child, but even if he squatted down, his tall body was still Look down at them.

Lancelot took off his helmet, which was rare. He looked at the pure souls in front of him with his eyes, "No, as long as you are loyal in your heart, remain loyal and devoted to the emperor and faith, be brave and wise, tenacious and determined, Anyone can be his angel of death."

"What about you? My lord, can we all become knights? An Emperor's Knight like you!" asked another boy, dragging his stick, obviously very enthusiastic about becoming a knight. Maybe he is someone from the local area. The descendant of a knight.

Lancelot looked at him and nodded slightly, "Keep your enthusiasm child, have the courage to train and stick to your heart. The Emperor will use countless trials and tests to verify you. If you satisfy him, then the glory of the Dark Angels Chapter will be Brother Priest will come to find you and take you to the Rock of Glory, where you will receive training and challenges.”

"If, as the Emperor wishes, you complete all the challenges, then you can become a Caliban Knight and a descendant of Lion." Lancelot said, almost paraphrasing the official statement of his war group. He said it all again, very mechanically, although he tried to act calm.

But Lancelot was actually at a loss when faced with these enthusiastic children. He was almost led by them. He answered whatever they asked, completely lacking the majesty of being an angel of death.

"Then when will the challenge be completed? Will the angels come back to find us?" the child asked, longing and impatient. Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Only the Emperor knows, son. Only he can decide."

"Show us your sword! I'm sure it's different from ours!" One boy said, waving a wooden stick. It was obvious that it was not a sword, but the remaining children also urged, they thought like heckles Want to see the knight sword.

Lancelot looked at them at a loss, then hesitated for a moment and pulled out his sword. He planted the sword on the ground so that the children could see the power sword up close.

The child stroked the blade of the power sword. There was a halo of light flowing on the cold black sword, and sacred prayers were written on it. He looked at the sword excitedly.

"What is this made of?" he asked, Lancelot nodded slightly, "The Iron of Starlight is extracted by the battle group from the most perfect meteorites in the star system, and then forged by secret methods. Every knight Everyone will have such a sword and personally carve an inscription on it.”

The children cheered and looked at the sword head squeezing their heads. They looked at the sword curiously. Apparently they had never seen it before, and they had now begun to expect that they would have such a sword.

"What about armor? Can you get it only by becoming a knight?" The child asked again, and Lancelot nodded affirmatively, "Only after becoming the Angel of Death can you get such a set of armor. It is a symbol of honor and recognition."

"But I have seen an angel! He has no sword, but he also has armor." His little friend said, Lancelot looked at him and nodded slightly, "Yes, the brothers who came with me, although they are not They belong to the same chapter as me, but they are also the Emperor's Angels of Glory."

"No, it's another angel! I've seen him, but he doesn't have a sword, only a claw on a glove!" the child said enthusiastically. Lancelot was stunned for a moment and immediately squatted down. He looked at the child Said seriously.

"Where did you see him?"

Facing Lancelot's question, the child showed no fear. He patted his chest and was very proud, "In the temple! Only the bravest dare to go there!"

"Yes! The bravest man!" Another boy said excitedly, as if to prove it. Lancelot looked at them and frowned, "Temple? National Religion Temple?"

"No, it's the underground temple. In front of it, there is a temple in a very dark underground! There is an angel there! Although he never talks to us, maybe he is asleep."

Lancelot was silent for a moment, and he looked at the child again, "What kind of temple is that?" "It's different from other temples. There are iron, iron doors, iron walls and more things everywhere! We all I don’t know what it is, and neither do the adults.”

Knight Caliban stood up. He drew his sword and inserted it back into the bridge and looked at the children below him. "Can you take us there?" "Is this a trial? The Emperor's."

The child asked excitedly, impatiently, while Lancelot smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes, I hope you are ready."

After the children enthusiastically and cheeringly agreed, Lancelot walked to Vito by the lake. The inquisitor opened his eyes and looked at Lancelot who was walking towards him. Lilith was still leaning against his arms and closing her eyes. He seems to be sleeping with his eyes closed.

Lancelot looked at the two people, then cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to disturb you two, but the children told me that there is an underground temple near here."

"I think it's an Imperial warship, a Space Marine strike ship, that may have crashed on this planet. Maybe we should go check it out."

"Indeed, it's worth a look. You might be able to discover a lot of things." Vito patted Lilith on the head. She stood up and stretched with her hands on her hips. Vito also stood up and looked at the boy scouts and smiled. got up.

"Lead the team, Knight Lancelot, lead your team."

"It's the Inquisitor." Lancelot complained and walked towards the children. They surrounded Lancelot and walked towards that place. Vito also followed after looking at Lilith with a smile.

The knight and his scouts walked deep into the forest.
