I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

The arrival of the Imperial Department of Law's judges and arbitrators officially signaled the nearing end of the cleanup operation.

After the two-headed beings were eliminated by the thermal melters, all the pseudo-descendants who had been transformed into plague ghouls became headless flies.

Previously, the plague ghouls could unite and follow the unified command of the two-headed beings.

Now, without a central leader, they could only wander aimlessly or stand still, waiting for the humans to harvest them.

After the judges helped the bounty hunters stabilize the front lines, they immediately ordered their team to stop.

He was only there to prevent accidents and had no intention of competing with the bounty hunters for points.

Compared to eliminating the remaining enemies, the judge was clearly more interested in the vault filled with alien civilization artifacts.

"Look what I see, an ancient historical site." The judge stood akimbo in front of the gate, tilting his head towards Ausgus and raising his chin:

"Oh, hey, kid, are you in charge here? Do you mind if I take a look inside?"

"Sir, I am Ausgus Voges. The leader of our team is Miss Tido Voges. She has fully entrusted me with the command of the bounty hunter team."

Ausgus put away his arrogance when facing his subordinates and politely approached the judge, bowing slightly:

"Please, sir. Any location in our Hive City is always open to the Imperial Department of Law."

The judge smiled and walked into the stone gate:

"As expected of a descendant of the governor's family, you speak with more tact than the Lewei family. Alright, continue your command, just find someone to guide me."

"Yes, sir." Ausgus looked back at Li Nuo and the others, beckoning expressionlessly, "Come here and guide the judge."

"Yes, sir," the three replied in unison.

Mona was the most experienced and cautious, so she took the lead, with Li Nuo and Wick following behind her.

"Sir, this way, let me briefly introduce the information we currently have. The vault we are in is similar to a historical museum, displaying artifacts from different eras. Among the artifacts that have been identified, the oldest ones may date back tens of thousands of years..."

Mona temporarily acted as a guide, leading the judge and the arbitrators around the illuminated areas.

The judge came from Terra, the capital of the Human Empire, and his knowledge reserves were more than twice as rich as those of the Hive City residents.

With just a simple glance, he could determine that many of the antiques here would drive the tech-priests completely crazy.

But that was not the focus of this trip.

Capturing heretics, punishing heretics, and eradicating heretics were the responsibilities of the Imperial Department of Law.

The judge crossed his arms and asked:

"Have you found the biochemical modification data of the Reconciliation Sect?"

"Sir, we have not found anything in that regard yet." Mona raised her hand and pointed to the dark area without lights, "The information you need may be in that dim area."

The judge snapped his fingers, "Launch illumination flares. Before the tech-priests from the Hive City monastery arrive, let's quickly search around."

"Yes, sir."

The arbitrators dispersed, firing illumination flares into various dark areas.

A figure was dragged out of the darkness by the bright light, scrambling to hide to the side.

"Who!" the judge shouted sternly, raising his thermal melter and aiming at the figure.

"Oh dear!" the person let out a delicate exclamation, covering her chest and hiding behind a shelf, revealing only a delicate and charming face.

"Sir, I am Ruth Bruton. I am here adjusting my clothes..."

Ruth's face was flushed with panic and shyness, and her watery eyes sparkled with aggrieved light.

This pitiful appearance would make anyone who saw her unable to resist pitying her.

"Oh ~ beautiful Miss Ruth, we were reckless, please carry on." The judge grinned, ordering his men to lower their guns and let her leave safely.

After Ruth walked away, the judge said in a cold voice:

"Search carefully and find out what that woman was doing here."

"Yes, sir."

The arbitrators, holding scanners, fired red beams at the places Ruth had passed, collecting the pheromones she left in the air.

While the arbitrators were tracking Ruth's trail, the judge folded his arms and said to Li Nuo and the others:

"Be honest, did you take anything from here? Tell me the truth. You only have one chance."

The three held their breath, looked at each other, and made a wise choice, taking out the items from their armor.

The judge checked the small objects in their hands one by one and casually asked:

"There are only three of you, why did you take four items?"

Mona replied:

"Sir, we sacrificed a companion. That guy liked machinery, so we picked out an antique made of metal for him."

"Alright, I understand your feelings. However, I still need to confirm your movements after entering here, lest I become a fool to be fooled."

The judge snapped his fingers a few times, asking his men to collect the pheromones of Li Nuo and the others, tracking their movements in the vault.

Pheromones!

The judge and arbitrators actually had instruments to track pheromones!

It was the first time Li Nuo had learned of the existence of such a thing.

As expected of a judge from Terra, the equipment was more varied.

Not having time to sigh, Li Nuo was anxious, his heart pounding wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

His back was covered in dense sweat, soaking the back of his combat suit.

If the judge found out that he had been to a place he shouldn't have, it would be terrible!

Calm down, calm down, I have to quickly think of a countermeasure, blindly panicking is not going to solve the problem.

Li Nuo flashed through several excuses in his mind.

But strangely:

After the arbitrator obtained Li Nuo's pheromones, he did not follow the tracking signal of the scanner to the place where the orc spores were placed, but circled within the illumination range of the searchlights arranged by the cultists, and then returned to the judge.

"Report, sir, Kang Wen's path has no problems."

"Report, sir, Wick and Mona's paths also have no problems."

The judge nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good, the three of you are quite sensible, you didn't take anything you shouldn't have, and you didn't lie to me. I like your honesty. I noticed your heroic performance in the battle just now, and your courage to resist the tyranny of the heretics deserves praise. Put away the things in your hands, this is my encouragement to you, and it will also become a little secret between us."

"Thank you, sir!" Wick responded excitedly, bowing ninety degrees first, and then standing straight and giving an Aquila salute.

Li Nuo and Mona were calmer than Wick, did not salute randomly, but also fully expressed their gratitude to the judge.

Li Nuo's inner changes were far more intense than on the surface, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a stormy sea.

Why didn't his pheromones spread to the can where the orc spores were stored?

What, what, what is going on?

Could it be that the system secretly modified the distribution range of pheromones to cover up for him?

Oh my goodness.

If there was an annual top ten systems selection event, I would definitely vote for [Mushroom Farm]!

An arbitrator ran over with a pink object:

"Report, sir. Ruth Bruton didn't touch anything here. However, she forgot to take her handkerchief."

The judge waved his hand, "You send it to that girl."

"Uh, ah? I'll send it?" The arbitrator was embarrassed.

The judge joked, "Or you can keep it yourself."

A burst of laughter rang out in the team.

The arbitrator sighed, covering his mask, and walked helplessly towards Ruth, who was treating the wounded.

This little episode did not interrupt the search.

Li Nuo and the others followed the judge to inspect the vault's collection one by one.

Soon, they came to the place where the orc spores were originally stored.

An unexpected, yet expected scene appeared.

Inside the glass jar that Li Nuo had emptied, there were some small fossils.

The judge didn't notice anything wrong, just glanced at the fossils and walked to the next artifact.

Li Nuo only felt incredible.

Tampering with the trajectory of pheromones was already amazing.

But the system could actually create objects out of thin air, helping him plug the loopholes!

It was unbelievable, it was simply a miracle!

"Report, sir. We seem to have found the original biochemical data of the Reconciliation Sect." The arbitrator did not finish his words, glancing at the three agents.

The judge understood, raised his hand and patted Wick's shoulder:

"Alright, you three go, there's nothing for you here."

"Yes, sir." Li Nuo and his party bid farewell.

The judge and the arbitrators walked quickly to the corner of the vault.

Vik pounded his chest, panting, "That scared me to death. When the judge asked if we took anything, I almost thought I was going to get shot."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Mona huffed in dissatisfaction, "Don't come up with such bad ideas next time."

"My fault, my fault. When we get back to the upper hive, I'll treat you all to a meal," Vik chuckled, brushing the matter aside.

The three returned to the front lines, cooperating with the Hounds, retainers, and law enforcers to clear out the remaining enemies.

A moment later, the remaining Hound teams successively arrived at the scene.

These Hound teams came via normal routes, and therefore carried heavy weapon platforms.

Twin-linked lascannons, twin-linked autocannons, quad heavy lumber guns, all kinds of squad-level heavy weapons were available.

They arrived at the scene to see that the headquarters of the Reconciliation Church had already been wiped out, and their faces nearly turned green with anger.

Osger approached them to make contact, bragging and boasting about his side's achievements, completely forgetting how he had almost peed his pants earlier.

However, boasting aside, his side was indeed running low on ammunition.

Based on the principle of focusing on the big picture and letting go of the small details, Osger decisively handed over the subsequent combat work to these Hound teams with ample ammunition, while he led his men into the vault to take stock of the loot.

According to the rules of the hive city's noble circles, the items in the vault would first be temporarily kept by the Vogues family in the name of the Governor, and after the Hounds' score rankings were finalized, the spoils would be distributed according to the rankings.

In the following period, more and more Hound teams gathered in the underhive, and the cleanup operation officially shifted from the decapitation stage to a full-scale advance.

Lino and the other Governor's agents also received support from other Governor's Guard units, and together they guarded the vault to prevent the treasures from being stolen.

After eight days and seven nights, the enemy was basically wiped out, with only scattered enemies remaining in various parts of the underhive.

The priests of the Mechanicus entered the field to repair the underhive equipment damaged by the battle and to recover the tech-heresy data from the hands of the Reconciliation Church.

The Pharmacia's hazmat units came to clear the pathogenic strains.

Nowadays, people lack effective countermeasures against Chaos corruption, and can only follow the theoretical guidance of the Imperial Truth, cutting off the diseased body parts on the spot.

Many armed retainers therefore lost large chunks of muscle, or even important bones, and instead used artificial prosthetics.

Lino and the others retrieved Tarento's remains.

The remains were cremated by the hazmat team, leaving only black remains free of pathogenic strains.

Lino and the others packed the remains, preparing to take them back to base, where Delton would place them in the upper hive's cemetery, to be buried with the old metal objects.

The ghost mushrooms of the underhive were also one of the gains of the cleanup operation.

However, the distribution of ghost mushrooms was not based on the Hounds' scores.

The hive city would hold a grand auction, distributing the ownership of each ghost mushroom through on-site bidding.

It was said that the participants in the auction were not limited to the nobles of the hive city, but also included merchant-rogues and representatives from other Imperial worlds.

Based on the principle of taking whatever he could get for free, Lino secretly stored a large amount of ghost fungus mycelium during the cleanup of the underhive.

The analysis panel of this item, like other psychic fungi, depends on warp energy for growth and development.

Without obtaining the means to generate warp energy, the system cannot temporarily provide warp energy in the simulation process.

Therefore, in order to cultivate his own ghost mushrooms, Lino had to find an absolutely safe place to use as a plantation first.

This matter was not urgent for the time being, and could be planned slowly to avoid mistakes.

Time came to the afternoon of the eighth day after the start of the cleanup operation.

When the last enemy was killed and the pathogenic strains in the underhive were completely purified, the cleanup operation was officially declared over, and all the people returned the way they came.

The Wailing Passage had lost its hallucinatory effect at some point, and the patterns on the surface had oxidized and fallen off in a short period of time, and the pattern similar to the human coccyx could no longer be seen.

Just as everyone was about to set off to return, Tidor Vogues, who had been missing for a long time, finally appeared.

She ignored everyone, just walked through the path separated by the crowd, and boarded her exclusive armored vehicle.

When she stepped on the top step, about to step into the car door, she stopped and slowly turned around.

The bloodline suppression from the Governor's family made the scene silent, and everyone spontaneously closed their mouths and lowered their heads to Tidor.

Osger took a few steps forward, looking up at Tidor standing on the high ground:

"Your Excellency, Eldest Daughter of the Governor, Future Leader of the Vogues Family, Rising Star of the Hive City. I think you have been observing the overall situation in the dark, and have seen the performance of each of us. We humbly ask for your instructions, are you satisfied with our work?"

Observing the overall situation in the dark?

What does that mean?

Wasn't Tidor turning on stealth mode to hide?

Lino suddenly realized that he seemed to be wrong.

Tidor chose to be invisible, probably not to avoid combat, but to observe each of her subordinates, and each of her subordinates' subordinates, from the perspective of an observer.

A strong premonition surged in Lino's heart.

His gaze crossed the crowd, looking in the direction of Tidor, and he happened to see an intriguing smile blooming on the corner of Tidor's mouth.

This was the first time Tidor's expression had changed since participating in the cleanup operation.

"Whether or not those present belong to the Vogues family, none of you have tarnished the reputation of the Epimethian aristocracy. I recognize the performance of each of you."

The tactful and pleasant tone, combined with the kind and gratified smile, triggered cheers from the Hounds and retainers.

Osger was even happier, respectfully sending Tidor into her vehicle.

Tidor's simple comments represented a wave of generous rewards to come.

The gloom brought by the battle casualties was swept away, and the air was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

Lino stared in the direction of Tidor, lost in thought.

The upper half of Tidor's face was covered by goggles, and others could not see her eyes.

But whether it was an illusion, or whether he was too narcissistic, Lino always felt that Tidor had just made eye contact with him.

And it was this glance that made Tidor reveal a meaningful smile.

This made Lino have an inexplicable guess:

Could the person who tampered with his pheromones and put the small fossil in the empty can be Tidor?

Huh?

If it was really her, what was she up to?

Lino thought for a few seconds and gave up the idea of exploring it.

He only had one thought in his mind now, and that was to hurry back and try the magical spores!

Note:

When communicating with people outside the family, branch members will hide the middle name that represents the branch. This is a tradition of the Western medieval aristocracy in reality.

Warhammer's official novels don't describe this aspect much, so the author directly refers to the real aristocratic tradition to write it.
