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

Chapter 378 367. The Red Man is Foolish

Magnus moved slightly, while Hades, who was holding his chin opposite him, did not move, but his wandering eyes were immediately fixed on Magnus.

Magnus did not move again, and Hades blinked and changed to a comfortable position lying on the table. He was thinking whether to apply for a small lathe to be moved over, otherwise Hades' life in the past few months would be just eating and guarding Magnus.

Hades thought boredly, it would be good to bring a few books over.

Magnus was in prison, and Hades guarding him was also another kind of prison.

It has been more than ten days, and Hades has memorized the order of dishes in the cafeteria on the Emperor's Dream.

Of course, Hades has not eaten a single meal in the past ten days, and Magnus has not had a single drop of water, but given the physique of the Primarch, Hades is not worried at all that Magnus will suddenly die.

If only Magnus had been so "silent and obedient" all the time, then at the critical moment, the Emperor would directly throw Magnus out in this state, and then operate it with psychic power.

But unfortunately, Magnus spoke, and the Primarch's dull and cracked lips tore, bleeding, and his hoarse voice was like a dried corpse,

[...Who are you? ]

Hades sat up straight, staring at Magnus with his eyes, he didn't want to answer, but he remembered Malcador's instructions.

Hades thought about himself for a while, and finally he spoke calmly,

"Your watcher, Hades."

Magnus trembled slightly, and a tiny bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

[A stupid question. ]

He said softly, Hades knew that Magnus was mocking him, and after this sentence, Magnus fell into a long silence again, and Hades raised his head and strengthened the black domain alert again.

After this sentence, after the fifth meal delivery, that is, on the third day, Magnus tried to communicate with Hades again.

Perhaps he couldn't help but not speak. So far, Hades thought that the only Primarch who could not speak for a long time was Mortarion. Most Primarchs would have some desire to talk and curiosity.

[You have always been here? ]

Hades blinked silently. Magnus seemed to be asking a question that would help him escape from prison, but since Magnus could no longer see anything and he did not use psychic power... then it was the Primarch's other senses that helped him judge.

Hades looked away in boredom.

"Sometimes I'm not here."

Lie, he was always here, and he said this to deceive Magnus.

Magnus frowned slightly,

[You have always been here. ]

He said firmly.

Hades raised his eyebrows,

"So? You want to escape from prison--"

[No! I will never, I will never do anything again! ]

Magnus's high-pitched voice immediately interrupted Hades' words, but he became pale and powerless again in an instant. He murmured as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he could only mutter a few broken words.

Hades sighed,

"That sounds like a good thing for everyone."

Magnus paused, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a trembling voice,

[Emperor... How is the Emperor now? ]

Hades thought about it, he remembered the Emperor's performance at that time, and what Malcador said, Hades said indifferently,

"I guess he is quite angry, and maybe a little sad."

He watched Magnus clench his fists, grit his teeth, and his whole body trembled slightly, even his messy hair was shaking.

[...I don't want...I don't want...I never wanted to hurt him. ]

After saying the last sentence, Magnus was almost broken,

Hades stared at Magnus, he said softly,

"Then why didn't you listen to him?"

[Because there is no other way! 】

A tuneless shout sounded, and Magnus yelled at Hades, but then he lowered his head like a captive beast,

[No one can save the Thousand Sons except me - not the Emperor, not Malcador, there were only a thousand people left in the entire legion at that time! ]

Hades blinked calmly, he stood up, walked forward to the iron bars, and compressed the black domain. If it were not for the Emperor's restriction and weakening, it would still be difficult for him to suppress Magnus's soul fire now.

"So this is why you sold your soul and the future of the legion to the devil?"

[I don't know - I didn't know it would be like this! He didn't show me this? ! ]

Magnus shouted out of control,

[I never thought of this! I knew it was dangerous, but I had no way out at the time! I thought this was all the price! ]

Magnus pointed to his eye, but it was just a deposit.

In order to calm the shouting Primarch and stop disturbing public order, Hades reached out, grabbed the iron chain wrapped around the iron railing, and smashed it roughly on the railing.

The sound of the iron chains colliding calmed the shouting Primarch well, and Magnus realized where he was now.

"Why are you shouting so loudly."

Hades frowned and said,

"I'm not the decision maker, I'm just a little doorman, you can tell this to the Emperor."

He watched Magnus' face turn pale, and the Primarch instantly lost strength,

[No, no... He won't forgive me. ]

Hades continued to ask patiently,

"Does he know what you just said?"

[He... I think he should know, he saw everything. ]

Magnus said hoarsely,

"What did he say?"

Magnus' lips moved twice, as if he was caught in painful memories. The Primarch began to scratch his scalp and tear his hair like a defeated and collapsed person.

[No...]

Magnus said painfully.

Hades sighed. He didn't want Magnus to fall into extreme emotions. Psychics hated this situation the most.

"Well, you're not dead yet."

He said comfortingly,

"Your legion... those upright and kind warriors will not be imprisoned. The Empire still needs warriors who can use psychic power."

Talking about offspring, this at least allowed Magnus to get out of the painful meeting for a moment. Hades couldn't help but think about what the Emperor did to Magnus.

Magnus covered his face in frustration and buried himself in the shadows.

[I hurt them... I thought...]

Hades walked back and sat down again. It was still comfortable to sit.

"Think of something else. It's useless to be in pain now. The fact is set - unless the Emperor orders you to work." [Father still needs me? ! ] Magnus' scream almost shook Hades off the chair. Hades stood up angrily and kicked the iron fence directly, warning the Primarch to keep his voice down. "Otherwise, why would he keep you alive?! Could it be that he really likes to see you suffer all the time?!" The Emperor is a tyrant, but he is a tyrant who puts utilitarianism above all else. Instead of keeping a large force to watch Magnus, it would be better to kill him directly and then transfer the troops to work elsewhere. However, the confusion on Magnus' face told Hades that the Primarch thought so. Hades took a deep breath. "When did you establish the image of the Emperor who likes to abuse others, Magnus? Or do you like-" [No! Never! ] Magnus immediately refuted. He tried to explain at a loss, [It's just, it's just-this is common sense! Punishing sinners! 】

"Can your father explain it with common sense?!"

Hades kicked the iron fence again, trying to make Magnus speak more quietly.

Magnus screamed strangely, like a big parrot with a stuck throat.

[You, you, what did you call him? 】

Hades recalled briefly, and then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

Hades said seriously,

"I said, the great emperor."

[You didn't say that just now, you said...]

Hades shouted irritably, his voice was louder than Magnus now,

"I know! Why are you yelling so loudly?! Even if you report me to him and scold him, he will not reduce your sentence! Stay honestly, Magnus!"

He watched with satisfaction as Magnus choked and looked aggrieved and said nothing.

Hades turned around and sat back again, and now he had a moment of peace.

Until Magnus's weak voice sounded again,

[...Who are you, Hades? 】

"I am Hades."

Hades answered fluently, he looked at Magnus and thought irritably,

[What is your relationship with the Emperor? Similar to - similar to Malcador? 】

Hades thought about it, he didn't want to become like Malcador, who looked like a kidney deficiency and reviewed documents every day, but he did hang out with Malcador a lot of the time.

"Almost?"

[...Are you the most powerful soulless? 】

Hades narrowed his eyes,

"You crossed the line, Magnus."

Magnus was silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and spoke again, as if he had made a great decision,

[If you are like Malcador...then tell me...what should I do...what should I do? 】

Hades spoke casually,

"Stay here, don't do anything, listen to him obediently, don't think about it, and especially be careful not to touch the warp."

He stared at Magnus,

"I think the Emperor never wants you to touch those things-he thought you were the best."

Magnus looked like he was about to faint, but Hades continued as if he didn't see it,

"... You have to lower your expectations, everything can't go back to the glorious past, he is now cleaning up your mess, all you can do is not make new messes for him."

Hades watched Magnus shrink like an inflated balloon, and finally, Magnus said as if he had given up on himself,

[He now wants me to live and do nothing. ]

"Yes."

Magnus took a deep breath, and the Primarch gasped violently,

[What did he show me? ]

Hades said speechlessly,

"How do I know what he showed you."

But the answer to him was Magnus' silence, and the Primarch seemed to realize that there was no answer to this kind of thing even if he asked Hades.

Hades looked away silently,

"Um... do you still need to eat? If you do, I'll ask them to send you food."

The Emperor probably didn't know that Hades had snatched the Primarch's food. After all, Hades saw that Magnus didn't look like he wanted to eat in the past few days.

Magnus, who looked confused, responded to him.

Hades suddenly realized why Magnus thought the Emperor would abuse prisoners.

3k, that's all. By the way, I actually updated it a few days ago, but I didn't write it down
