Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 221 04.0220: ‘Imperial Official ≠ Planet Dog Official’

Yin Shuyao raised her head, and the corners of her mouth that barely maintained a smile kept twitching, and eventually turned into a forced smile.

Looking at the young man approaching her step by step, she quickly organized words of emergency in her mind.

It happened so suddenly that she thought that this mysterious gentleman who came and went without a trace had left, and she was completely unprepared.

The look on his face and his words suggested that he had heard something.

[What should I do...break up the relationship with my cousin? ]

Her family survived in the cracks between the two nests, and finally managed to make ends meet.

Yin Shuyao knew very well that these big shots could not afford to offend.

They could easily pull out the seedlings growing in the rock crevices, and with just a flick of their fingers, her entire family would die without a burial place.

She shouldn't have let her family suffer such a terrible fate.

However, the act of directly cutting off her cousins ​​and betraying her relatives was too painful for her, who had been taught by her father to treat her own people sincerely and kindly.

Yin Shuyao was in a dilemma and was undecided.

The young man's footsteps are approaching step by step.

She knew that it was already a problem for her to be silent for so long.

The girl took small steps back, backing up.

"careful!"

The heel of the light blue leather shoes suddenly stepped on the air.

Only then did she realize that she was so focused on how to explain it in her mind that she ignored the stairs behind her.

By the time her body responded to the weightlessness and she noticed it, it was already too late.

Yin Shuyao felt unbalanced, leaned back, and the tray and dishes in her hands fell out of her hands.

In the flash of lightning, she suddenly remembered that the original decoration plan of this staircase was chosen by her personally. If she fell down the stairs at this backward angle, when the back of her head hit the ground or the sharp corner of the steps, it would make a crisp sound, which was enough. Declare the end of her life.

Just when she realized that her life might come to an end, a strong hand grabbed her.

With the enhancement of his surgery and prosthetic skills, Horatio suddenly stepped forward the moment the girl fell backwards, caught the dinner plate with one hand, and pulled the girl back with the other hand.

"How can you be in a daze on the stairs? It's so dangerous." He frowned and criticized in a serious but not so harsh tone.

"Thank you! Thank you, sir." The frightened Yin Shuyao held on to the railing, with a layer of cold sweat on her forehead, and panted to thank Horatio.

"Is that person in the box someone you know?" Horatio asked.

Yin Shuyao lowered her head and bit her lip.

"It's my cousin and his friends. Sir, I don't know what you heard, but they are not what you think..." The girl was timid, her eyes were wet with shock, as if she was begging him to be noble.

"Cousin? Well, he does look like a mixed race." Horatio raised his brows, looked at the box door behind him, and then resumed his serious tone:

"Listen, Xiaoyao. You have to know that first of all, I am an imperial official. I have not colluded with those guys from the Hongshang Alliance, let alone colluded with them.

I am not a pawn of the Guild Alliance, nor am I the Legal Department. The struggles and riots between the Citizen Army and the Guild Alliance are not within my jurisdiction, nor do I care about the life or death of the Guild Alliance regime. In fact, from a personal perspective, I wish they would get off the stage. "

The girl raised her bright eyes with a second degree of shock to look at the handsome and heroic young man in front of her, feeling unbelievable and even confused by what he said.

[Oh my god, my God-Emperor, an Imperial Navy officer would actually say such a thing. ]

Her refreshed outlook on life was still in chaos. She used to be like most Imperial people, unable to tell the difference between planet officials and Imperial officials.

People tend to confuse them because they are all eating from the government.

Therefore, the girl was usually in awe of this mysterious gentleman, fearing that he would know that she had some relationship with the Citizen Army.

But today, from the words of the young man in front of him, it seems that the two are probably...not the same thing.

Judging from his performance, imperial officials and planetary government officials were as distinct as if they were eating from the same bowl of rice and had nothing to do with each other.

"Secondly, I believe you have also seen that something happened in Abyss Port recently, and the navy is under martial law everywhere.

Whatever they were trying to do, now was not a good time.

The Imperial Navy, which has just been bitten by the tiger's tail, will use its iron fist to crush all factors of turmoil and unrest indiscriminately.

Please use a tactful way to remind your cousin that this is a special period. Even if it is for the safety of himself and his relatives and friends, he should not cause trouble or make trouble. I'll just pretend I didn't hear what you just said, okay? "

The girl nodded obediently.

"Go, don't spill the food this time. I'll wait for you at the bar." The seriousness on Horatio's face disappeared, and the gentle gentleman's smile returned to his face. He said and handed the tray in his hand back to the girl. .

The girl nodded and ran over quickly.

"Sorry for the long wait!" She took a few deep breaths in front of the door, then knocked on the door with a smile on her face and said.

"Xiao Yao, why are you smiling so stiffly? Did something happen?" Enjolras was keenly aware of certain details and asked with concern in a low voice, with a hint of concern in his smile.

"No, cousin, you are wrong. You guys take your time to eat, I will go to work first."

"Well, you have worked hard."

"Thank you, cousin!!" The young people shouted mischievously, then looked at her cousin and joked, continuing the joy of young people.

Yin Shuyao held the empty tray, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She did not tell her cousin that a gentleman from the imperial official had just heard their conversation.

She kept the secret for Horatio, just as she kept the secret for her cousin, and did not betray anyone, even if she almost paid the price of her life for it.

This concept of loyalty is an iron duty engraved in the blood of their race, and it is the purpose of their parents' teachings and conduct.

Even in these difficult and hard times, she adhered to this inherited family concept, and did her best to treat people with honesty and loyalty.

She walked downstairs slowly, and Horatio sat on the chair in front of the bar, picked up the small wooden toy, and was looking at it carefully.

[Amazing, isn't this a Luban lock? No, it seems more complicated. ]

"Why, are you interested in this?" After a brief heart-to-heart with Horatio, the girl relaxed a little.

"A very clever little toy, where did you get it from?" Horatio praised it endlessly.

"It is said to be a toy left by our ancestors, but it seems that only our ethnic group has inherited it."

"What about this?" He pointed to the 100×100 Sudoku table and asked.

The characters on it are not common numbers, but a kind of characters that look like Chinese characters, like capital letters one, two, three, four, five.

"Uh... this is..." Yin Shuyao was thinking about how to explain to this gentleman. She couldn't just say that this was a communication code book designed for the citizen army.

But before she could say anything, Horatio, who had been fighting smuggling on the coast for a long time in his previous life and was familiar with various communication codes and secret codes, soon discovered the clues.

"Is this... the code of the secret book with mechanical assisted encryption?" Horatio stretched his neck slightly forward and asked in a low voice.

"You... figured it out?"

"Yes, I figured out that these characters have a certain pattern. If you change the capital letters back to numbers, they are a series of secret codes that can be traced.

So, this little toy is actually an accessory for mechanical assisted encryption?"

When Horatio said his guess, it was actually hard to believe, because the perfection of this set of codes was completely unlike what a female college student could come up with on her own.

"You are worthy of you, sir.

In fact, it also draws on the wisdom of our ethnic ancestors. These characters come from the ancient lost language of our ethnic group. After the Gothic language was popularized in the empire, only our ethnic group was still passing it down from generation to generation, but it did not continue to develop, and it was also forgotten little by little.

It is not my original creation, I just copied it and put it together clumsily. There are still many non-unique places. If these are not solved, it is not a good set of secret books. It needs to be polished later." The girl said embarrassedly, with a very humble tone.
