Stars for the good Warhammer

Q: What is it like to be a planetary governor?

On this issue, Otto now has quite a say. When he stepped into the governor's palace on the top of the hive under the escort of the guards, what he saw really shocked him, a country bumpkin from a primitive society. .

In the gorgeous hall with a dome, dozens of young maids dressed in elegant Gothic-style uniforms have been waiting at the main entrance for a long time. A red carpet with exquisite embroidery patterns is spread on the floor, which is as spotless as a mirror. The center of the emerald floor tiles extends all the way to the depths of the hall.

On the most conspicuous wall in the hall, there are portraits of members of the Sellers family from all generations. They were all painted by the most outstanding painters in the entire galaxy. Each stroke in the painting is worth several dollars. The wealth and lives of the residents of Xiachao, as well as the antique handicrafts purchased at high prices from various star regions and merchants, are almost filling the hall.

What surprised Otto even more was the facilities in the palace. The moment he officially stepped into it, the fresh air with the fragrance of morning dew and earth quickly filled his nostrils. The moment he closed his eyes, The whole person seemed to be in the magnificent snow-capped mountains and forests.

All this is due to the almost most advanced air purification system in the empire owned by the Governor's Palace, which allows this large and complex building complex to have almost pure natural air at all times, which changes with the seasons.

And when he learned from Raya on the side that this excessively luxurious hall only occupied a few tenths of the space of the palace building, Otto truly understood how the gap between people could affect the situation. How big it is.

In contrast, the stories and jokes about the rich made up by the poor based on their imagination are too unimaginative compared to reality.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that on a desolate planet that was officially labeled as poor, the local governor's family actually lived such a luxurious life.

While Otto was still amazed by the magnificence of this building, a maid with some Asian features stood up from the front row of the queue.

After bowing respectfully, the cute-looking servant said in a sweet voice.

"Mr. Governor, due to time constraints, the chefs have temporarily prepared some simple meals, hoping to help you."

The woman's words aroused Otto's interest. To be honest, he had long wanted to see with his own eyes what 40K's delicious food was like.

I don’t know if there will be a human delicacy as good as ant beef sashimi on the governor’s table.

"This way, please."

Just as Otto was about to follow the maid's footsteps to the restaurant, as his peripheral vision passed by unintentionally, he noticed that Raya behind him had not followed, but was just staring at him from a distance, with her amber-like pupils. It looks very peaceful.

Looking into Otto's eyes, Raya just shook her head gently. She knew very well that stepping into this level of private territory as the son of a sinner would only bring unnecessary trouble to the new governor. .

Before Otto could speak, she turned around and left the palace in silence, her pace gradually accelerating as if she wanted to escape.

As night approaches, the sandstorm clouds hanging over Haiwen gradually dissipate.

At this moment, an ancient lavender planet is hanging high above the desolate and yellow land outside the hive.

Dotted with stars, the huge star almost occupies one-third of the sky.

This is the unique night view of Haiwen, a scenery that countless residents of Xiachao will never see in their lifetime.

Standing on the balcony connected to the bedroom, Otto was enjoying the alien evening breeze while contemplating the dream-like experience that had happened to him today.

Under the service of the servant, he first enjoyed the "simple meal" with thirteen appetizers. Although it did not include the ant beef that he was craving for, it was still rich enough, including some from the Holy Blood Angel Mother. The grape wine of Xingbal.

Soon afterwards, surrounded by the maids, they arrived at the changing room in front of the bathhouse. Before Otto could react, the ladies had already begun to take off his clothes very skillfully.

And when one of them tried to take off his belt, Otto, who was aroused by his shame, couldn't hold it back. He loudly scolded the young girl kneeling under him and ordered everyone to leave the dressing room. I stepped into the constant-temperature bathtub alone, which was as big as a swimming pool. I regretted soaking in the pool alone for a long time.

To be honest, such an excessively luxurious life made him feel strongly uncomfortable. For a moment, he even began to miss his small but fully functional rental cabin.

"No wonder the governors in GW's picture albums always have big bellies."

Not long after, Otto, who had regained his composure, turned and looked at the bedroom behind him. Also at his request, the maid on duty who was originally responsible for attending to the bed had been invited out by him. At this time, only the maid on duty was left in the huge room. Got off himself.

Judging from the previous reactions of the servants in the palace and some information asked from the butler Kalman, it is obvious that the residents of Haven are not aware of the changes that have occurred on the front line. Due to the impact of the subspace storm, the long distance between the galaxies has Distance communication has become unreliable.

And as the Great Rift gradually unfolds, this kind of information blockage may only become more serious. If you are unlucky, some remote places may even completely lose contact with the empire and fall into chaos. This is also very likely to be Haven's future.

In order to avoid such a tragedy, Otto realized that he needed a more detailed plan. After carefully confirming the safety of the surrounding environment, he closed his eyes and concentrated on recalling the piece of data that recorded all kinds of data. system panel.

At present, except for the slight decrease in the total population of the planet, other data about the territory have not changed much.

Among them, what really concerned him was the special reward called [Psychic Potential] that he had received not long ago.

[Psychic Power], if you interpret it literally, does this mean that you have become a psyker now?

For example, in a certain game, a mad dog can shoot lightning from his palms, or a mad dog that can generate crystal flying knives out of thin air?

However, although the power of psychic energy is powerful enough, in Warhammer, obtaining such power is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

After all, the power of psykers is borrowed from the subspace. In the process, there are many people who are possessed by evil spirits or driven crazy by some evil thoughts. Therefore, only those with a strong enough will Only people can use this power more safely.

While there was no one around, Otto returned to the bedroom with a try mentality and began to try various gestures to see if he could get some sparks out of his hands.

However, after trying for a long time, apart from making himself look like a madman dancing on the bedside, these exaggerated movements did not make him release even a little bit of supernatural energy.

Until he was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and couldn't even let out a fart, Otto finally helplessly collapsed on the soft big bed behind him, feeling inexplicably that he had been tricked. a feeling of.

Is it possible that the rewards on the panel are fake?

Or is this just a joke played by a birdman with two heads on himself?

While Otto was still studying carefully what the function of that panel was.

The next second.

He only felt a chill running through his body without any warning, like a cold finger scratching across his back.

Such a sudden situation made Otto, who was lying on the bed, tremble all over and suddenly sat up from the bed.

For some reason, an uneasy feeling surged in his heart. This was the first time he felt like this.

In the panic, an idea emerged from the depths of his heart.

[Some kind of disturbing existence has stared at me.]

Such a strange situation inevitably made Otto feel a little nervous.

However, just as his eyes drifted toward the window inadvertently, a black shadow clinging to the distant spire suddenly caught his attention.

Before he could see clearly what it was, he seemed to notice Otto's sight, and saw the shadow jump directly off the towering spire, and merged into the thick night in just the blink of an eye.

It's actually true? Is there anyone else out there?

Could this be his new reward?
