Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

The Ultramarines reluctantly left in the end, but before leaving, Robert Guilliman gave Mortarion and Hades some small gifts in his own name.

Mortarion didn't even open the gift box, but threw the small box wrapped in blue satin into the warehouse. He didn't have the necessary curiosity, and his good impression of Robert Guilliman was not enough to support him in opening the gift. box.

On the other side, Hades was very satisfied with the large Macragge tapestry that Guilliman gave him. He couldn't be more satisfied.

This is a purely hand-sewn tapestry. Hades guessed that it was the work of some Ultramarine. The stitching is tight and the plush texture is quite comfortable. On the surface of the carpet, which has a lake blue background, there are embroidered It is full of scenery, with warm sunshine shining into the white square. In the distance, there is a solemn fortress, and some birds are dotted everywhere.

Hades judged that this should be the scenery on Macragge, but where exactly it was, he didn't know.

This tapestry is perfect both from an ornamental and political perspective.

So Hades hung one of them in his office.

Although this caused some small commotion that Hades himself didn't care about, when reporting on the work, Gallo looked at the tapestry and hesitated to speak, while Vox had a disillusioned expression on his face, and the other Death Guards entered After entering Hades' office, the first reaction is usually to be stunned.

The one who had the biggest reaction was Mortarion. When the Lord of Death walked into Hades's office, his eyes did not move away from the huge tapestry. He stared at the painting as if staring at a person. A witch who has not yet been hanged.

Mortarion walked over slowly, tried to poke the tapestry with his hand, and immediately took his hand back in disgust. He felt like he was about to vomit on the Macragge tapestry.

"Any questions?"

Hades said that if you have something to say, go away.

【nothing. 】

Mortarion slowly looked away

At that time, there were a lot of jokes among the Ultramarines within the Death Guard. Mortarion also held several simulated battles against large-scale humanoid enemies.

The one who reacted the least was Enrique of the Foundry Hall. This unassuming old man from science and engineering had already seen through Hades's true nature at a glance. Facing the tapestry that appeared in Hades's office, he remained calm without any disturbance. , just reporting to Hades as usual.

Rust sent a message that the ship cast for Hades was basically completed. Now they need Hades' instructions on the interior decoration. If Hades doesn't make special requirements, then these mechanical sages will have to install it themselves.

Hades waved his hand and let them install it themselves. He was not one to dwell on details. As long as the equipment and weapons were in place and the ship's firepower was strong enough, it would be fine.

Just let the sages simply dress up according to the standard template, and they won't really give him a pink fur bunny style covered with pink plush carpet.

On the other side, the second batch of technical sergeants sent to Mars has returned, and the fourth batch has also been dispatched.

As the first batch of technical talents to return from Mars, and the nominal and actual boss of the foundry department, Enrique asked Hades if he wanted to see the new recruits, give a speech, and examine the professionalism of the new recruits.

Hades looked at Enrique silently. The focus was actually on the last sentence. He still remembered that when he first came back, the casting masters in the foundry hall took turns to give him technical problems, which was called to test the professionalism of newcomers.

To put it bluntly, it is a show of force to make these recruits who have just learned a lot of knowledge from Mars be more honest. For these foundry halls that are usually quite boring and dull, this is an entertainment activity that they like to see——

But unfortunately Hades' car flipped them all over, making the event much less entertaining.

It seems that because of the precedent set by Hades, the Foundry Hall maintains a certain cautious attitude towards the second batch of newcomers.

So they decided to invite Hades, the strongest person in the Foundry Hall, to give the new recruits a showdown.

As for such fun, no, requests, as the boss of the foundry hall, Hades naturally agreed to them.

————————————

Among the second group of Death Guards sent to Mars, Pasteur was obviously the most knowledgeable among them (main class only),

In the simulated battlefield, even if missiles kept exploding around him and the earth was shaking violently, he could still replace the three-millimeter No. 0 gear for the Storm Bird without changing his expression or heart.

Or in a high-pressure, high-temperature, high-radiation environment, when the display screen is completely damaged, relying on experience and broken radio waves, the system reinstallation of a large-scale bird servant can be completed.

No extreme environment can make his heart waver at all. He is like a well-oiled machine, completing every repair perfectly.

However, in some more partial courses, such as the norms of religious etiquette of the Mechanicus, the standard process of purchasing materials in the Forging World, and the introduction to the sage languages ​​​​of different worlds, Pasteur was completely wiped out.

(By the way, the best score holder in the above partial courses is Hades.)

But since Mars provides quality education, they did not issue graduation certificates. Pasteur, who failed many courses, was sent back in confusion.

Pasteur's understanding of this was that he didn't understand it, but now that he was back, he would contribute his share to the Death Guard.

I found that senior H by the way.

In fact, Pasteur's own academic attainments have allowed him to accumulate enough reputation in the technical base of Mars. The Iron Warriors and Iron Hands warriors are all obsessed with this death who seems to be missing a string in his mind. The guards praised him very much, and some even said that he had the academic style of H.

But Pasteur himself knew that this was just an ordinary compliment. Only those who have carefully studied the masterpieces of Senior H will know that the gap between them is comparable to Yunni.

And their praise will only deepen Pasteur's obsession, that is, to find that senior!

It is a pity that even in a place like the Foundry Hall, there is formalism. When they just got off the spacecraft, they first accepted the baptism activity of the God of All Machines, and then were called to listen to the speech of Hades, the leader of the Foundry Hall.

Pasteur stood in the front row of the new recruits with an expressionless face. The words flowed into his left ear like water, and then flowed out smoothly from his right ear.

He has never cared, cared, or liked this kind of activity.

Rather than these, he would rather go to the foundry master and ask if there is anyone with the initials H in the foundry hall.

Or does your last name start with H, or is there anyone who particularly likes the letter "H"?

Pasteur was thinking about how to talk to this powerful senior for a while. He was worried that this senior had already died in the battle. He was also thinking about what mechanical components he should give to his tomb if he died in the battle. —

Hades, who was chatting briefly above, didn't know that he had been thought of as dead by this expressionless recruit.

As Hades, he only cares about the entertainment activities that follow.

It was obvious that everyone in the foundry hall did not like formalism or preaching. Hades chatted briefly and asked the eager technical sergeants to take the recruits to examine their professionalism.

He was also very curious about whether this group of newcomers could survive the difficult problems he set. Because of Hades' experience last time, this year's casting masters all showed their special skills, and the questions they asked were one to one.

From the grumpy and fearless old man who was [temporarily] awakened for repairs, to the assembly line for manufacturing general mortal rations with limited-time parts, Hades was stunned when he saw it.

Although he himself was not a human being, Hades's question this time was to manually control the landing coordinates and repair the extravehicular emergency landing system in a falling and out-of-control airdrop cabin.

Enrique said that you are the newborn Dong Xi, forget it if you lose control, repair the [extravehicular] system while falling, are you going to create a miracle?

In response, Hades blinked innocently. Isn't this an inspection?

Although no one thinks that any new recruits will reach the final level set by Hades.

So that day, the foundry masters sat together, holding tea and watching the fearless brother who had colluded with him beat the new recruits, and they all said that this is youth.

Who hasn’t been beaten by Wuwei?

——Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to Hades among them.

To his delight, Hades, who was happily drinking tea and eating snacks, was kicked out for inspection and was responsible for rescuing the technical sergeants who had been beaten down.

Although Hades complained that he could no longer sit there and eat, it was interesting to watch the struggles of the new recruits at close range. This was a pleasure unique to the Foundry Hall and was difficult for other Death Guards to understand. Hobby.

Soon, amid wailing sounds, these new recruits fell to the ground one after another, unable to fight anymore. The casting masters walked over with smiles, and while chatting, they loudly lamented that the quality of this batch was not good——

"I'm done, what's the next trial?"

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation of the casting masters.

Pasteur looked at the assembly line he had just built and evaluated his design in his mind again. There was no problem. He thought -

A figure suddenly broke into his thoughts,

"You're done so quickly?"

Pasteur looked up in silence and saw that the person who was speaking just now was staring at him with interest, as if he was very interested in him, but he had forgotten the other person's name.

Pasteur nodded cautiously;

"The front end of the assembly line dismantles the commonly used 3-type design, while the back end draws on and improves Mars' design."

"No, that's not the point."

After Pasteur finished his brief introduction, the man said softly. The red light in his left eye was scanning Pasteur's assembly line.

"You used a completely new wheel structure, right? I've never seen it."

Pasteur looked at Hades cautiously and acquiesced to this statement.

Pasteur thought in his heart that since he was the leader of the foundry hall, he should know about Senior H. Although this made it difficult for Pasteur to talk about it, Pasteur believed that such an outstanding person should be able to succeed in the foundry hall. ——

The premise is that you must not die.

Then Pasteur only needs to let this leader leave a good impression on him, and then take the opportunity to ask him about his predecessors.

For the first time, Pasteur felt that he had made a major breakthrough in interpersonal communication.

While Pasteur was still thinking about how to ask, seeing why the child didn't speak again, Hades had no choice but to speak himself.

"I know you, Pasteur, don't you?"

Pasteur nodded without saying a word.

Hades couldn't hold himself any longer, at least give him a reaction.

Forget it, Hades was used to it, so Hades opened his mouth to test again,

"Your casting talent is quite good. Which department do you plan to go to for further study after this?"

Then, Hades saw Pasteur shaking his head firmly at him.

For the first time, Hades had a screen full of question marks in his heart.

"My lord, I don't need it."

Wait, what did this recruit understand? What did he make of Hades's words? ? ?

"grown ups,"

Pasteur swallowed.

"I'm looking for someone, a Techmarine of the Death Guard."

Hades was confused, but he agreed first.

"Tell me, I'll try my best to help you, what is his name or what he looks like."

Pasteur slowly shook his head. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know the senior dog's name or what he looked like, so he rashly asked the leader of the foundry hall.

"I don't even know, but the senior left a book on Mars, a book that can be edited by everyone, and the senior's signature is H."

Then Pasteur saw the leader staring at him helplessly, seeming to be holding back something to say.

Pasteur knew that he had chosen the wrong person and spoken to the wrong person again, and he was finished.

He remembered the past when he was chased and scolded by the Martian sage for doing wrong religious rituals. Then he was pushed to the church to reflect for a month. Without the [How to Pretend to Be Pious] left by Senior H, he would have been in trouble all his life. It was impossible for him to run out of that church.

"What are you looking for him for?"

Hades asked, he was trying to hold himself as tight as possible, and then he saw Pasteur's righteous face, as if he was risking his life.

"I hope to become his apprentice, or to thank him. The words left by Senior H taught me a lot and made me realize the meaning of life."

"I'm grateful to be a Death Guard, and I'm grateful to be a Death Guard Techmarine, and the thing I regret least in my life is going to Mars and seeing and understanding those words."

Pasteur said deeply,

"So, sir, please let me at least meet my senior."

Hades did not hold back again. Wait, could he still understand the meaning of living? What did this new recruit named Pasteur understand? !

"I know who you're looking for."

"You've already met him."

Hades continued to collapse, keeping an expressionless face as much as possible, and then he saw Pasteur's surprised and disappointed look.

"Sir, I didn't recognize him, could you tell me who he is?! I won't fail to recognize him again!"

Hades was silent, staring at him with his head lowered, while Pasteur stared at Hades nervously.

Hades slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

"Well. My name is Hades, H-A-D-E-S."

"H."

Then Hades saw Pasteur's slow, enlightened expression, and then he slowly fell back and fell back——

Pasteur felt his head buzzing, and the last thing he heard was the voice of Senior H, no, it should be called Hades now, shouting about the pharmacist.

Now, Pasteur thought, since he didn't recognize the other person in front of his seniors, he might as well go on a death mission.

————————

Sure enough, no one made it to Hades' level, and the most promising recruit was knocked down by Hades himself.

Enrique announced that this event to examine the professional quality of recruits is the most entertaining one so far, and it also makes up for the lack of entertainment in the previous one.

Two great chapters in one!
