Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Three days later, Vito and the others received a reply like that, agreeing to meet on a planet called "Kolayere". Although Vito always complained about who had given this bad name that he could never pronounce correctly, they Still on the road soon.

Vitor, Pedroneira and Sarah quietly left the expedition fleet on the Aquila. Taking advantage of the chaos and busyness of Guilliman's arrival, no one noticed that they suddenly disappeared. The three of them passed by in a silver shuttle. After a short jump, we arrived here, this beautiful planet.

When the shuttle landed, Vito knew that Waldo's vision was spot on again and he liked it here.

There are endless golden fields here, with grapevines climbing on high pergolas, and windmills lined up on the distant hills rotating in the sun, driving the millstones below to send out pressed grains.

Women sit by the windmill collecting and sifting grains, while children play around in the fields. Domestic dogs follow them and play with them, sometimes blocking the children's path, while they laugh. Run in the other direction.

Surrounded by mountains, the tidal sea rises and falls under the towering cliffs, and the sea breeze brings coolness and salty flavor. In the distant bay, high-sail cargo ships, inland barges and fishermen's fishing boats keep coming and going, bringing Goods for sale at the market.

This warm village is located between the coast and the mountains. A stream flows through the village. Vito walks through the street. He wears a hood and a black woolen coat, rolling on the side. Velvet edge.

The Phoenix sword and weapons were hidden under his robe, and his face was also hidden under the hood. Although he felt that no one on this edge planet would recognize him, he still made some appropriate preparations.

Especially Sarah, she walked beside Vito and held Vito's hand for a while. She seemed to be very curious about everything around her. She walked into each store to carefully look at the goods inside, chatted with the boss, or Smile at the people under the eaves on both sides.

You don't know at all that she is a god with the power to destroy everything, but she is just a young lady coming out of the mansion for the first time. She is dressed like the daughter of a rich family.

Like Vito, Sarah wore a slightly loose blue dress, with her slender legs sticking out from the bottom, wrapped in a pair of white lace socks, paired with a pair of leather boots, making her look like a nun .

This is really ridiculous, Vito thought to himself, her? nun? Which god do you believe in? Herself?

But Sarah obviously enjoyed it. She hid her hair in a nun's headscarf, but her face still attracted a lot of attention. Vito told her to keep a low profile, which she did, but it obviously didn't work. .

At first, people were chatting up Sarah from time to time, which made Vito very distressed. But after she quietly held his hand, the number of people chatting up gradually decreased, and they became less conspicuous.

Sarah looked with a naughty smile. Vito knew that she was being cunning, but he did not refuse. He let her hold his hand, and their skins were tightly attached to each other.

This was the first time in so many years that Vito had seen her smile so happily, not the greedy smile when devouring souls, nor the evil smile when torturing others, but a real smile, just like a young girl.

She pulled herself across the street, shuttled between shops and streets, and stubbornly wanted to buy a flower in front of a flower shop. Vito bought it for her without turning her around, and received the blessing of the old flower-buying woman.

"I wish you a long life together, good lady and good gentleman."

"I also wish you good health, good woman." Sarah responded with a smile. She put the flower on the headscarf on her head, and then pulled Vito to move forward.

They passed through the bustling market, just like a young man and woman meeting for a trip on a bright afternoon. For a moment, Vito seemed to have forgotten the identity of the Supreme Marshal, his mission, and the stars in the starry sky. War and darkness.

He looked at those white hands and Sarah's back in front, as if there was only this in the world, a dream, a beautiful dream.

They left the main street of the village and came outside. The sun shone warmly on Vito's face. He raised his head and looked at the sunlight hanging above his head, which was emitting light.

Vito looked around and soon discovered Pedroneela who had been separated earlier. She had never been too far away from them. She was squatting in front of a statue of an eagle and observing something.

Vito held Sarah's hand and walked over. The latter looked at the eagle curiously, with a smile on his face that could melt away all sadness, beautiful and touching.

Vito also looked at the eagle statue. It should have been red in the past, but the erosion of time and sea breeze has gradually discolored it, and eventually turned into gray-white. Only sporadic past colors still exist on the wings.

The eagle's eyes stared at itself, as if for a moment it came to life and said something to itself. It said that the past was long gone, and now only some old immortals were left hanging on, stripped of their color. Forgot the past.

Their names, their experiences, and all the past have long since disappeared in the wind, leaving only a body that still exists, holding on for something.

"What is this?" Sara asked before Vito could. Pedronela looked at the symbol drawn with paint on the base of the eagle, and put her fingers on it thoughtfully.

"Mark, let's go over there and follow the other eagle statues." Pedronela said and stood up. She looked into the distance, where Vito also saw a new eagle statue, which was in front of her. Just looking at the hills.

"Come on, follow." Pedronela said and walked towards the statue. Sara looked there and then turned back and smiled at Vito, who looked at her as if she had traveled through time and space, and then held her hand. Followed.

The group of three people crossed the grass and soon arrived at the hill on the other side, where they found the eagle statue. Petronila leaned down and quickly found the marking symbol at the same location.

She stood up without saying anything and looked at the next statue in the distance, then leaned in. Vito and Sara followed her, not far nor close, as if they were taking a walk, strolling and enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine. With warmth and time.

Petronilla found one statue after another, and then found the next one by looking at the direction of the eagle's head. They walked through the breeze-swept grass, passed the stone fence beside the farmland, and crossed a white stone bridge. Got here.

The last eagle statue squats here, looking at the mountain in front. It is very unique, as if it were two swords stuck in the mountain, one higher and one lower, with a concave opening in the middle, as if it leads to another world. gate.

"Mountain climbing? If I sweat, my clothes will be ruined." Sarah pouted, but she can't sweat, not even a drop of sweat, just like Vito himself, but she really doesn't like it. Climbing mountains, because Lily doesn't like it either.

She always said that climbing mountains would wrinkle her clothes, damage her boots, and the treetops would snag her skirts. Although Vito would also ask her, why are you more active than me every time we go out to fight? Your clothes are stained, your skirt is snagging, and your boots are damaged, and yet you rush faster than anyone else and are in a good mood?

Lilith always said, "That's different. Climbing a mountain is just tiring, and being out of breath is not interesting at all. But after fighting, I can look at their broken faces, lying on the ground with their faces covered in blood, and taste them." It’s much more interesting to cry out in pain.”

Thinking of this, Vito trembled and glanced at Sarah, who looked exactly like Lilith from the side. Did she think so too, right? Vito didn't want to clean up a mess today.

Sarah seemed to notice. She turned around and smiled in the warm sunshine. Vito looked at him and smiled as bitterly as he did for Lilith.

"Don't kill anyone, okay? Be obedient."

"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say." She smiled, and her dishonest hand climbed up to Vito's chest, fiddling with the buttons with her fingertips, and her other hand was on the button of the skirt. She moved closer to Vito , with an innocent smile.

"Listen to everything."

"You two, I don't want to disturb you, but if you want to, it's best to wait until we go down the mountain at night before continuing." Pedronela interrupted Sarah, which made her mumble, looking very regretful.

"At night? It takes so long to climb?" She complained, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the mountain paths in the mountains. They were composed of stone steps, attached to the mountain and climbing to higher places.

"If you are dragging it down, then go up the mountain. It's getting late." Pedronela said and took the lead on the mountain path, while Sarah behind her smiled provocatively and put one hand on her waist.

"Do you want to come together tonight? We can find a big bed, three of us together. I have always mentioned it to Lily, but she always refuses greedily. Sister, I am much more generous than her."

Vito raised his eyebrows and looked at Sara blankly, with an expression that said "You're fucking kidding me." Pedrone turned around, looked at her and shook her head, "No, I Not interested in that."

"That's a shame. Maybe you should convince Lily to come here for once? Trust me, the two of us would be great together." Sarah winked at Vito, who had a weird look on his face.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I can't."

"Hey, why are you so boring? Have you been with Lily for a long time? Come on, otherwise that girl will push her again." Sarah stood on the stone steps and stretched out her hand. Vito hesitated for a moment and held her hand. Went up the mountain trail with her.

They climbed up along the time-honored mountain path. Although the years have left many marks here, these stairs are still strong and stable. They have been smoothed by the trampling of pedestrians for countless years, and even some Slippery.

But it didn't matter to any of them. The three climbed up the mountain path, crossed the tree-lined path, crossed the creek that occasionally appeared to cut off the road, and finally after Vito passed between two towering hilly protrusions, he We came to a fence gate in the mountains.

It was embedded in two low walls, cutting off the mountain path. The door was locked. Pedronela stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips and held her forehead speechlessly, "Damn it, they forgot to open the door."

"Shall we climb over?" Vito stepped forward and asked. Pedronela glanced at the low wall on one side, "That's all we can do. This door is the entrance to the local sanctuary. If it is destroyed, it will .”

Before Pedrone could finish her words, the door was slammed open, the lock broke and hit the ground, and the door whined feebly and swayed between the walls.

Vito and Pedronela both looked over and looked at Sarah who raised her hands. She looked at the strange expressions on their faces and said, "What? You still want me to climb over the wall? My socks will get torn." , or do you like hole-in-the-wall clothing?”

"Ah, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Don't kill anyone? I did comply with the request, didn't I?"

"You broke the door of someone else's holy place. After that, when someone comes up to see you, I'm afraid you will have to break your promise." Vito said speechlessly. These two sisters really have the same talent in causing trouble.

Sarah shrugged without guilt and glanced at the broken door, "I'm sorry then, don't worry, I will take care of the rest."

"By killing all those who come to cause trouble? No, I no longer work as a judge. I don't want to kill everyone." Vito said helplessly, and Petronilla also leaned forward appropriately and looked at him. Shandao behind the door lowered his head.

"Go before trouble comes to your door, and then we'll get down the mountain as quickly as possible before we're discovered."

Vito nodded, and then walked up the mountain path. Sarah wanted to follow but was stopped by Pedrone. She shook her head at Vito, "You are alone, and I won't go up. I will take you with me." Let her wait here for your return."

"Oh? Take me? In fact, I don't exclude girls~" "Shut up and try to find a way with me to fix this door." "Then you have to find him. I remember that kid's name is - Duo "Huh?" "You are not older than him, so don't call him a child." "Oh? It's not necessarily so soon."

Vito listened to the bickering between the two people gradually fade away. He continued up the mountain path. He walked behind a waterfall and walked on the ground wet with water to the end of the mountain path.

It was an ancient mountain temple. The entire building was embedded deep into the mountain and integrated with the entire mountain. Only the windows and stone pillar reliefs carved on the cliff could tell that it was not a natural creation of the mountain, but man-made. excavated.

But the most eye-catching thing is its huge door. It is a tall crimson door. The door handle is made of bronze and carved into the shape of a lion. The door is open, as if it is inviting itself.

Vito did not refuse the invitation. He walked up, stepped on the last floor and slid sideways into the narrow door crack. On both sides of this dark and tall corridor, towering ancient statues overlooked the visitors, whose faces had already been It's so worn that it's hard to see, but it's still mysterious and intimidating.

Sunlight shone from the open-air square at the end. Vito walked into the deserted courtyard and looked at a tall tree growing between the central stagnant water. Its crown was as tall as a dome, climbing up into the sky and blocking out the sun. , as if going to heaven.

Vito walked up and came under the tree. The surrounding pools were a pool of pitch-black stagnant water. There were no ripples on the water. Vito leaned down and touched the water with his fingers, and a ripple appeared on the water. And in that ripple In the reflection, he also saw the burly figure appearing above him.

He stood on the treetop, jumped down with a spear in hand, and pointed the head of the spear at the back of Vito's head and stabbed him quickly.
