Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Li nodded, pursuing freedom, this is a good statement, but for the empire, this is not a reason for rebellion. Archons have authority granted by the God-Emperor. In theory, no matter how stupid, incompetent, or cruel they are, the empire will not interfere and will still recognize their authority.

Slavery itself was not the fault of the consuls; on the contrary, it was the right of the consuls.

But these are the empire's practices, not Li's practices.

Lee asked some more questions, some about slavery, some about life, and more about Daenerys the woman and Greyjoy.

Hayredin told Li everything he knew in detail, but even as a pirate king, what he heard were mostly absurd rumors. The communication in this world was still very primitive. When a message When it passed from one island to another, it had already completely changed.

"It seems that relying on rumors is not enough. As expected, I still have to go and see what these two people look like with my own eyes." Li looked at Haireddin and said, "Maybe you can do me this favor. As I am on this planet, The guide above helped me avoid some troubles and allowed me to see with my own eyes what the world really looks like.”

"You can't force me," Hayreddin sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "I am a free pirate!"

"Forcing you? Oh, no, I'm not forcing you, this is just a deal," Li said with a smile: "I can give you something you dream of, maybe something good that you can't even imagine in your dreams. You want What do you want? Wealth, power, power? I can give it to you.”

"Devil, how can you be so arrogant! How dare you be so arrogant in front of a guardian knight? It's just a little witchcraft. I am a guardian knight!" When the old knight heard Li talking about the word transaction, he was already Defining the sudden appearance of Li as a demonic creature, he shouted loudly, and at the same time, a strong light flashed in his body. In an instant, the old knight shone like a human-shaped light bulb. Standing up, golden light surrounded him, and the majestic and sacred power began to burn in his body. Li's psychic runes were shattered the moment they came into contact with the light. This power was so powerful and Pure, it rejects all spiritual energy and crushes any power different from this light.

Li was slightly shocked. Although he rarely saw this power and almost never fought anyone with this kind of power, he clearly knew where the power came from.

This is the power of the state religion, which the priests call the Holy Power. It comes from people's belief in the Holy Emperor. At first, Li felt that this statement was too nonsense. In his mind, the Holy Emperor was just a He is just a powerful person, he is wise and powerful, but he is still a person after all. Of course, he is definitely special compared to ordinary people. But to say that the emperor is a god is a bit too much. But Li understands the approach of the Holy See. Who wants ordinary people to believe this? People are always fragile, they need something to believe in, and from a strategic point of view, if we do not occupy a position, it will be occupied by the enemy. Under this situation, instead of letting them believe in those weird evil gods and those messy gods, it is better to let the holy emperor unify their beliefs and completely occupy the religious position.

Moreover, the empire spent an extremely dark period during Li's sleep, and was almost about to fall apart. At this time, a spiritual core was really needed to unite all mankind, and there was no one more suitable than the sacred emperor. Become a god.

In Li's view, this is a good thing. It is always good for anyone to have a healthy religious belief, because good religion always teaches people to be self-improvement and upward, and it can also give people comfort. But things should not be taken too far. Just like those who believe in Christianity, you must follow the teachings and be a good person who is kind to others, and look at the world with a grateful heart. This is naturally good. But if you say that the gods are whispering in your ears, and you can feel the power given to you by the gods, this is a bit nonsense.

In fact, Robert was talking nonsense before he woke up, but now, things seem to be a little different.

The holy power used by the Holy See to fool the ignorant people in the countryside actually exists from a certain perspective, and priests and nuns are good at using this power to fight.

Li has never fought head-on with the nuns. He once asked Pastor Martin of the battle group to try it on the training ground, but Martin did not agree. In Pastor Martin's view, although this behavior cannot be called blasphemy, it is definitely It is also a kind of disrespect. The power given by the sacred emperor is used to attack the enemy and save friendly forces, but not to perform for others and gain knowledge.

But now, Li has seen this kind of power, majestic, pure, holy, and truly powerful. This flickering golden light easily shattered the runes used by Li to suppress the old knight. Then the old knight suddenly stood up, overturned the table with one palm, and at the same time drew his sword in his hand and was about to slash at Li. At the same time, With a sudden force, Hayredin sat down and shattered the wooden chair under his butt. He rolled to the ground and retreated far away to the corner.

Hayreddin is not a good person. Although he is powerful, he is a pure pirate at heart. He will try his best to avoid battles that lack interests. The current situation is unclear. No matter which side he is, he knows very well. Young Master just stepped aside at this time to let the two of them fight and see how things would develop.

But as Hairedin expected, the fight between dragons and tigers did not happen. The whole battle seemed to be over before it started. Li just turned slightly sideways, letting the wooden table fly into the sky and the old knight chop him over. The long sword, and then gently patted the old knight's back with his hand, and at the same time hooked his foot, the old knight fell to the ground with the heavy armor on his body, and then Li quickly followed up. , fired a one-legged volley like a kick, raised his leg and hit the old knight's head. It seemed that this kick was very fierce, but it did not use much strength. He just wiped the old knight's temple with the outer instep. The violent shock instantly made the golden old man faint, and then he The golden light on the old knight also went out.

"I'm not a devil. Forget it, you can't hear it either." Li said so and turned around, and just behind him, the wooden table flying into the sky seemed to be held by an invisible hand. After a few circles, he slowly landed on the spot. Li sat on the chair again and made a gesture of invitation to Hairedin, "Hailedin, there are no troublemakers this time. Let me Let’s continue what we were talking about.”

At this moment, the pirate king Barbarossa Hayreddin, who was running rampant on the sea, almost wanted to turn around, open the door and escape far away. The pressure on him from the strange young man in front of him was too much. He felt fear from the bottom of his heart, but his reason prevented him from doing so.

He knew very well that he could not escape. The man who called himself Li had unpredictable abilities. He could make himself and the knight unable to stand with just his eyes, and easily controlled the wooden tables flying in the air. These strange things His abilities clearly indicate the identity of the other party. There is no doubt that he is a powerful mage who is in league with the devil, and he is the most powerful one. I am afraid that even the president of the Mage Association is not this person. The opponent, an inner-circle mage of the Mage Association, was such a powerful being that he fainted just by looking at this young man. And the secret weapon cultivated through painstaking efforts in the Vatican, The powerful guardian knight who is proficient in various fighting skills and killing methods, the nemesis and killer of all mages, could not even survive for a second in front of this man. The old knight rushed over and slashed with his sword, and was easily killed by the opponent. He fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious with a kick.

This person has spiritual magic that is more powerful than a mage, and he also has a fighting ability that is more powerful than a guardian knight. Is such a person still a human being?

Is it a monster?

Hayreddin suppressed the fear in his heart and allowed himself to look at the matter rationally, and then he saw the benefits in it. Yes, there are countless benefits, because this monster obviously just wants to talk. Since it is a talk, there is room for bargaining. Even if the other party is really a devil, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated. Woolen cloth.

Yes, this is the biggest crisis he has ever encountered in his life, but at the same time, this will be his biggest opportunity in his life. In an instant, Hayredin adjusted his mentality and turned the already completely sluggish James Pushed aside, and after sitting down, he said: "James, go and bring us two more cups of butterbeer. Then this, uh, Mr. Li, you said you can give me something, wealth, power, strength, etc., What do I need to pay for it?"

"Haha, it's better to avoid such temptations," Li said with a chuckle: "I can tell you clearly that you are mistaken. I am really not a devil, although those lines do seem to be used by devils to seduce humans. , but this is just a misunderstanding, I just need you to help me here, um, one year, at most one year, help me within one year, obey my orders, and then one year later You will be completely free, and I will give you what you want. Think about what you want. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Anything?"

"You can tell me what you want first, and I'll see if I can do it for you. But there are very few things I can't do for your wishes."

"Can we go to the moon?"

"Is this what you want? Are you sure?"

"Can this be done? Wait a minute, I'll think about it." Hayreddin was like an excited child, now deep in thought. Beside him, James whispered anxiously: "I want gold, a lot of it." Long time gold.”

"Stupid, what's the use of gold at this time? I know what I want. I want a ship, the fastest ship in the world, and a ship that no one can catch. By the way. , This ship also needs to be able to take me to the bottom of the sea, and I want this ship to be able to sail under the sea.”

"My captain," James said sadly, covering his forehead in pain: "What are you thinking about? I think you are usually quite normal. How come you become like this at the critical moment? The ship is under the sea. How can we sail if it doesn’t sink?”

"It's not difficult, if you satisfy me, it's easy to do."

"What!" Hayreddin and James shouted at the same time, "Can it really be done?"

"Actually speaking, it's not that difficult to do this. Twenty years later, there should be many such ships on this planet." After all, there are limited islands on this planet, and the real treasures are hidden under the blue sea. If Li wants to conquer this planet, he must not ignore the interests of the ocean. If he wants to conquer the resources under the sea, submarines are indispensable.

"What kind of magic is this? You really don't want my soul?"

"No, I will give you a beautiful ship that you can't imagine. This ship can take you to sail on the sea surface and allow you to travel freely under the sea. Of course, if you want a ship, then you will be my captain in the future."

"What do you mean, didn't you say I was completely free?"

"No, no, no, you got it wrong. Freedom has never been absolute," Li said seriously: "And you misunderstood, I don't want to restrict you, but if I give you such a good one If you want to take a ship, then I naturally don't want you to continue your pirate career with this ship. That would be such a waste. You will have the world's first and most special ship. For this world, this is definitely a cross-era ship, but you are going to continue your pirate career with this ship. This is really a huge waste. I can't allow this to happen. You will be my captain. I will have someone contact you regularly and assign you some tasks. You just need to complete the tasks for me. "

"Become your slave forever and do what you say?"

"To be precise, this is an employee. You are a free man. Apart from some necessary terms, I will never interfere with you. And it is too early to say these things now. After all, if I really give you a submarine, you will have a lot to learn, and without me, you can't afford a submarine. Not to mention maintenance, just the fuel can make you cry. Do you know how expensive the oil price is now? Do you know how expensive the oil price is? And the price has been rising, it has been rising! The Mechanicus is a group of monopolistic beasts!" After a strange temper, Li said: "Anyway, this is it. , I will give you what you want, and I guarantee you will be satisfied. "

"I said, Hailedin," James said standing aside, "Did we pick up a magic lamp genie? Am I dreaming? Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"Who knows?" Hailedin's face was full of struggle, and he was also hesitant, "You won't lie to me, will you?"

"What do you think?" Li asked back, "Do I need to lie to you?"

There is absolutely no need. Hailedin has never heard of such a strong man. If the other party wants, he can take the lives of everyone present at any time. Such a powerful person should not lie.

"Maybe the Emperor of God has also begun to bless us." Hailedin gritted his teeth, made up his mind and said, "Let's make a deal." Then he stretched out his hand and put it in the air.

Li was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "Is this a high-five after the transaction is successful? How many times do you have here?"

"Three times."

Snap! Snap! Snap! The two men's palms hit the air three times, and then Hayreddin sighed and said, "Then from now on, you are the boss of the Sea Serpent Corps, James. I will work for this Lord Li for a year." After Hayreddin finished speaking, he looked at Li, who had no reaction, in confusion and asked, "Is it okay if I don't call you master?"

"No problem, you just work for me, not a slave. The current title is fine."

"Then, Lord Li, what are we going to do next?"

"Don't be nervous, we can just sit here and drink and chat," Li said casually, "We have plenty of time, tell me about the mage first It will be with the Church. "

Like all worlds, this world also has a Church that believes in the Emperor of God. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Church was the largest religion on this planet and the most powerful force. Even the Greyjoy family could not compare, because the Church at that time was still connected with the gods in the sky. At that time, there were often holy messengers descending from the sky. Speaking of this, Hayreddin was suddenly startled. He looked at James standing beside him in fear, because he thought of what James said when he came in. There was a meteor falling from the sky, and the location of the falling star was not far outside the harbor. To be precise, it was outside the window.

Jaime obviously understood what Hayreddin was thinking, a holy messenger, an apostle of the gods! The young deputy pirate leader lowered his head in fear, his heart full of inexplicable emotions.

Hayreddin just paused and continued to narrate.

Those saints wore majestic armor and had wings made of flames on their backs. They were strong and sacred, spreading the glory of the Emperor to every corner of the world. But when the Church became strong, these saints left. No one knew whether it was true or not, or it might just be a legend. But since the saints left, it has been difficult for the Church to maintain its position as the strongest force, because the Greyjoy family has the right to rule the world, and the dead have begun to appear in the Greyjoy family.

The dead?

Li frowned and listened to Hayreddin's explanation of the special features of the dead. "It's just resuscitating people through artificial respiration. Can it really make people stronger? It's probably a psychological factor.
