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

Chapter 539 Extra | Sorry, but I am in the second week (4)

Mortarion sat calmly in the room, approving documents without any fluctuation in his mood.

He is sitting in what can be called the best room on Barbarus, reviewing and approving the most documents on Barbarus.

It had been two full years since Nacre's death. After staying in the central hinterland for a year and saving a batch of food, he and Hades chose to leave that area and came to the "safe haven".

They and the Barbarus who voluntarily followed them here began to build a new home.

Very consistent with the stereotype, after Hades guided Mortarion for a period of time, he decisively put Mortarion in charge of the construction of the safe haven.

On weekdays, Hades is responsible for teaching the craftsmen mechanical skills, as well as yelling and jumping towards the ground.

Today, Hades rushed out to plow the land with great interest. Today Pluto's goal is to hoe over a hill.

He just doesn't want to work.

It's not that there's really not enough food to eat.

Mortarion was acutely aware of this.

After completing the task of plowing the fields for the day, Hades would be in a daze for a long time. He liked to sit by the river and sit there all day long.

It doesn't look like he loves construction and work.

In fact, Mortarion didn't like clerical work either. Somehow, he knew that he was not the person to be responsible for this.

But since he couldn't defeat Hades, nor could he outrun Hades, so every time, he was left behind and responsible for the construction.

For example, today, Mortarion planned to go out first to collect plants on Barbarus. He quietly got up, packed up, and was about to leave first, but when he was already standing at the entrance of the city, meeting several doctors. ,

Horrifying laughter sounded behind him, and a black shadow flashed before his eyes——

boom!

The next moment, Mortarion's vision was reversed. Hades threw him over his shoulder with a blow. The original body fell to the ground successfully, with stars in his eyes.

When the doctor beside him pulled him out of the human-shaped pit more than one meter deep on the ground, Mortarion could only see the back of a laughing figure walking away.

Hades estimated that he would have to go out for another four or five days this time.

The safe haven must be guarded by someone. Mortarion stared expressionlessly at Hades, who was running away from work, and swore that one day he would pile documents to Hades to death.

So, today’s overtime worker was Mortarion. Mortarion was reviewing documents calmly and with despair. In less than an hour, the documents piled on the table were cleared. Next came patrols and army training. Go to the construction site to move bricks...

Mortarion's writing hand paused slightly, and the original body's keen hearing heard something.

Finally something happened.

The original body put down his pen with relief, stood up and left. Before leaving, Mortarion glanced at the table. The important documents had been approved, and there were not many left - no problems.

Mortarion strode to the entrance of the city. Many people gathered at the entrance. He saw the patrol pushing and shoving a person. Mortarion walked over and the people immediately made way for him. He I saw a skinny young boy.

【what happened? 】

Mortarion asked, and the patrols saluted when they saw him coming.

Morag, the captain of the patrol, stepped forward to explain the situation to Mortarion. Mortarion listened while paying attention to the boy's expression.

After seeing Mortarion, the boy was visibly frightened - but he controlled it well.

Mortarion doesn't matter. Anyone who sees him or Hades for the first time will be scared - especially him. Some people will worship Hades, but for Mortarion, everyone My first reaction is fear.

"He wanted to force his way into the city," Morag said with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, "We stopped him."

Mortarion glanced at Morag, and it could be seen from the people's faces that there was something else going on.

[You can come in after registering,] the original body said calmly, [The construction of the city is short of people, especially labor. 】

"I can go to the construction site to move bricks! I can also go to the poop!"

Seeing the original body speak, the young man shouted loudly, "I don't need much food - I just - I want to see the doctor in the city, my mother is very sick!"

The boy's voice trembled slightly, almost crying. After shouting the last sentence, plop! The boy knelt down towards Mortarion, his face buried deep in the ground.

Mortarion opened his eyes wide. He had indeed never experienced anything like this. After all, he had only been out of Naklay Castle for two years.

But the original body keenly noticed that after the young man finished speaking these words, everyone around him frowned and took a step back.

What's going on?

Don't panic, Mortarion, think about what Hades would do.

[What are you hiding? 】

The boy didn't say anything, he just knelt on the ground and looked like he was crying.

Morag frowned and spoke,

"My lord, he is Karas Typhon, the child of his mother and the alien lord - both he and his mother were cursed for it."

Karas, who had his head buried on the ground, suddenly raised his head. His face was full of tears, and he stared at Morag with an almost murderous look.

Even though he was strong, Morag felt uncomfortable under Karas' gaze even as he held the scythe.

I see……

Mortarion thought.

[Bring me my herbal bag, and two weeks' worth of food. 】

Motali settled down for a moment. He thought of Hades. Hades had also saved him from the alien lord Nacre. On weekdays, Hades also took good care of the weak, so...

[Go to the third underground vat behind Hades' room and get three meat strips from there. 】

He probably wouldn't care.

The original body's words almost clearly told the people around him what he was going to do. People looked at him in shock. Morag seemed to want to step forward to persuade him - Mortarion waved his hand.

[I am the adopted son of the alien Nacre, this doesn’t mean anything...]

Mortarion looked at Karas, who felt like he was about to cry again.

Was he in this same mess when he was rescued by Hades? Mortarion couldn't help but think - but at least he wasn't crying, right.

[But if you act a little out of line, I will kill you myself. 】

The primarch's voice cooled, and Mortarion raised his voice,

[Talents must be used, merits must be rewarded, and crimes must be punished - these are the rules of the Death Guard! Since there is no crime, anyone can get a chance. 】

Seeing Karas about to kowtow again, Mortarion quickly added,

[Don't kneel down, prove your worth to me, prove that I'm not saving a loser. 】

Karas stopped immediately. The boy wiped his tears and stood up stubbornly.

Mortarion took the medical bag and stuffed the bag of food into Karas's arms.

[Tell me where your mother is? 】

——————————

After a few words with the patrol, Mortarion followed Karas and left the safe haven.

———————————

【That night】

Outside a thatched house,

[Severely ill,] Mortarion said. He looked at Karas in front of him with his head lowered and remained silent.

"Sir... how long... how long will it take?"

[About two weeks. 】

Mortarion said, [This is already the limit. She has many old illnesses. It is a miracle that she has survived until now. 】

"She can't let me go..."

Karas pressed his arms firmly against his eyes.

Mortarion remained silent, giving the boy some time to digest.

After a few minutes, Karas's disordered breathing calmed down again, and he breathed rapidly,

"Thank you, my lord."

Mortarion stared at Karas, [You should be more grateful to Hades, he taught me all this. 】

He still couldn't adapt to this atmosphere, because Hades directly eliminated Barbarus, and Mortarion had not seen too many colorful deaths.

[I'll go see your mother again and give her some... pain relief medicine. 】

Karas nodded and made way for Mortarion, who stooped into the room and saw the weather-beaten woman.

Karas did not enter the house. After a while, Mortarion heard low sobbing outside the house.

The original body squatted down and took out the syringe - this was specially made by Hades after improving his glass skills. He skillfully mixed the potion,

"My lord," the almost dead woman on the bed suddenly spoke, startling the original body.

"Sir, thank you," tears slipped down her cheeks, "you are a kind person, and there is nothing we can do to repay you."

[I don't need it,] Mortarion said, [This is... of my own free will. 】

"Sir," the woman said, "I am just a child called Kalas. Although he likes to play a little bit, he has a strong body. He has suffered a lot in the past few years with me, and he has no complaints. If you don't mind, you can You can make him your slave, and you can beat him however you want... as long as..."

Mortarion felt that his breath was a little unstable, and his hand holding the needle trembled slightly. He had never experienced this.

Maybe Hades would be more at ease, Mortarion thought wanly. He didn't seem to be able to make the atmosphere here any easier - but Hades could do that easily.

He suddenly understood why Hades said that he still lacked experience.

[There will be no oppression,] Mortarion said as calmly as possible, [As long as Karas Typhon does not break the law or harm others, he will be like everyone else. Everyone is the master of their lives. There will be no There is oppression. 】

He repeated what he had said to other villagers,

This sentence seemed to have a huge magic power. The woman lying on the bed gasped loudly for a while, and then with a gasp, she said weakly,

"Thanks."

【fine. ] Mortarion said dryly.

There was a slight smile on the woman's mouth,

"...Sir, I wish you had come here seventeen years earlier..."

Seventeen years... Mortarion thought that Karas looked fifteen years old.

Seventeen years ago, about the time when the woman was captured by the alien lord.

Seventeen years ago... it was also the time when he was captured by Nacre.

Mortarion didn't know how to persuade her anymore. He quietly mixed the medicine. After the woman said those words, she stopped talking. Mortarion injected her and then left the thatched hut in silence.

Seeing Mortarion coming out, Karas who was outside the house quickly entered the house.

Mortarion was silent, and the original body stared into the distance. In the mist-shrouded distance, he vaguely saw the mountain top that Hades said he was going to hoe. He squinted for a while, but didn't notice it. The figure of Hades.

I guess that guy went paddling somewhere else.

Yes... Mortarion thought in a daze... Why couldn't Hades come earlier?

However, if he doesn't come, will Mortarion himself try to change the world?

Mortarion felt the answer was yes.

Even without Hades, Mortarion swore, he would have done so.

——————————————

After a few brief words with Karas, Mortarion returned to the safe haven without stopping.

Mortarion had a premonition that Karas would come to him after his mother's death.

The way Karas looked at Morag during the day was too impressive for the Primarch. Karas did not look like a nobody.

——————————————

Four days later, Hades came back swinging with a hoe.

"Mortarion! Did you eat my jerky?!"

[No,] Mortarion, who was calm and worked hard to approve the documents, said, [The mother of one of the children was seriously ill, so I gave them three sticks of dried meat. 】

He looked at Hades's eyes widened, and then Hades rushed over, laughed and patted Mortarion on the shoulder, and leaned over to see what document Mortarion was approving.

"Well done! Why don't you get them more?"

【That's enough. 】

Hades sighed loudly and said, "This is humanistic care. Besides, is this a problem? If you give them more, they can survive for a while."

[I know, I’ll give it to you next time. 】

Hades stared at Mortarion and raised his eyebrows,

"...Hiss...it seems like I haven't taught you that people's hearts are sinister...or Barbarus is too simple..."

That day, Mortarion was forced to listen to a lot of intrigues between Hades and some kind of red-robed robot - he could not understand or understand - Hades fell ill again.

————————————

The next day, Calas Typhon arrived at the haven.

This time the guard didn't embarrass him and let him go, although people still avoided him.

Without any concealment, Karas went straight to the tallest house in the haven.

Mortarion was approving documents at the time, and Hades was giving Mortarion math problems. He seemed keen to use metaphors such as counting ducks to let Mortarion learn the collapse equation of a black hole.

Karas walked in and stood in front of Mortarion.

Mortarion subconsciously glanced at Hades's reaction out of the corner of his eye. To the primarch's consternation, Hades seemed a little shocked.

"Sir," Karas, who stood in front of the two giants, was not afraid at all, "I hope to work under your hands - I have alien blood, you can look after me, but this also means that I have powers that others do not have. ”

Karas stared at Mortarion firmly, and the boy swallowed.

"It's similar to the powers of the aliens - but I swear it's different, and I want this power to work for you."

After saying that, Karas raised his hand, and a shining arc of electricity lit up on his hand.

Psychic!

Apart from the alien lord and Hades, this is the first time Mortarion has seen a human who can use psychic powers - is this because half of Karas's blood is alien?

Hades didn't react at all. His current state of mind was like seeing two monkeys making fire for the first time.

Hades' eyes moved to Karas Typhon. Why didn't he expect that it was Karas? But this reminded him... because he had spent so long that he almost forgot about these people on Barbarus.

Hades crossed his arms. He didn't intend to care about this matter. He could enter the subspace and beat Nurgle. Just watch, Karas is not crooked.

He watched Mortarion and Karas pretend for a while, well, the Primarch handled it well, and Karas left.

For some reason, Hades suddenly felt relieved, Teacher, my Mortarion has learned to make friends.

[How is Hades...? 】

Hades blinked, what, what, what, what?

"What?"

Hades said,

[Is there any problem with handling an alien hybrid human like this? 】

Hades laughed twice,

"You will see humans even more outrageous than Karas in the future. Don't worry, it's okay. I'll go check on him later."

Mortarion frowned, as if unsure of what to do.

【Is there really no problem? 】

Hades' eyes moved to the door, the direction where Karas left. Hey, was Karas, who always had a straight face, so shy when he was a child?

"If there is a problem, you have a solution, right?"

Hades said casually, and in his memory, he gradually remembered the people back then... Now they are all still children... Little Vox... It's a pity that Gallo is not here...

Mortarion fell silent.

In fact, he had no solution.
