Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 376 The Road to Expedition: New Business

A tall statue stood on one side of the corner. It was a scene of a roaring tall beast being hunted by an Eldar hunter. The burly and strong dragon was knocked to the ground, and the Eldar hunter stepped on its back. He raised his spear, pierced the back of its neck with one spear, and trampled it to the ground.

The struggling dragon was resisting desperately on the ground, but it seemed completely unable to defeat the hunter. The spirit hunter was powerful and arrogant. He raised his handsome face and stood on the back of the dragon like a god, holding his hand and looking down at all living beings. .

He also looked down at the pedestrians who stopped in front of the statue to watch him and the dragon. For example, there was a pedestrian here now. He was wearing a black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets and looking at the tall statue in front of him.

The man stood there, carefully looking at the Eldar hunter who was wearing hunter's clothing and with his robe floating behind him. The dancing robe floated behind him. The entire cloak was carved out of a huge rock. Each piece of the cloak was carved out of a huge rock. Every inch of folds and every inch of undulations caused by the wind are exquisite and amazing.

He looked up at the handsome face and looked at each other with the pair of plaster eyes without pupils. The statue overlooked the man in front of him, a man who may have existed longer than this arena.

"Mr. Saul Constantine, your reward." From a corner of the hall, Kelgat walked in from behind the side door. He walked along the deck floor between the towering metal dome and the high wall, his footsteps On the metal floor, dull echoes of footsteps echoed.

The sound echoed throughout the huge metal hall. In this huge space where there was no one but the two of them, it was constantly reinforced by echoes. Therefore, even if it was just a whisper, Vito standing in front of the statue could hear it, let alone The voice of Kelgat is not small to begin with.

He put his hands in his pockets and turned slightly to look at Kelgat who was walking towards him. "The remittance is quite fast. Are you ready?" "Absolutely. There are always a few people who are patient, especially Even less so in the Internet Channel.”

As he spoke, Kelgat walked through the large hall and came directly to Vito. He took out a golden card from his arms and handed it to Vito. The latter took the card with a smile and looked at himself in his hand. After weighing it for a moment, he showed an amused smile.

"I thought you would use money bags here. I still prefer real rewards, the kind that I can weigh in my hands and directly feel the gravity of the gold coins in them."

"Then you won't be able to carry it at all. Your reward for tonight is in a bag as big as your whole body. Can you carry it away? And, in such a high profile, here?"

Vito chuckled softly for a while, then put the golden card into his arms, "Indeed, the probability of being robbed and shot here is higher than the probability of me falling when I go out, so okay, it's okay to cash in the card. good."

Kelgat looked at the card that disappeared in his collar and nodded slightly. He turned and looked around, looking around at the huge and empty atrium hall, "Take this card and go to the Gemo Black Heart Conspiracy Treasury to exchange it for cash. "

"Hoho hoho, I didn't know that Victor had banking business." Vito smiled jokingly, clasping his hands on his chest and looking at Kyle who was looking around in front of him, as if he was carefully observing something and was ready to leave at any time. Gat.

"You look very nervous. Could it be that the exchange procedure at Victor's is very complicated? I need to prepare a lot of certificates in advance and fill in more procedures until I drive you completely crazy, and you are still The kind where you can only get money if you continue to hold on? Just like the Imperial Bank?"

Vito smiled and complained unceremoniously about the empire's deposit mechanism. He still remembered the last time he needed money. It seemed that it was when he needed to bribe a group of gangs temporarily on a certain hive planet, and he just didn't have enough money with him. With too much money, there is no way to temporarily go to the local planetary government and ask for money in the name of the Inquisitor.

So he had to go to the nearest Imperial Bank to withdraw money. In that experience, Vito almost pulled out his gun several times, shot the receptionist to death, and then directly robbed the bank to get the money.

But Kelgat didn't seem to understand Vito's joke, or in other words, he understood it but didn't care about it now. He spent all his attention observing everything around him, carefully monitoring the empty space around him. Silent hall.

There was no one here, but Kelgat seemed a little more nervous. His eyes looked like someone completing a deal in the dark streets of Gomo. He carefully observed everything around him, as if he might appear from somewhere at any time. A large group of gang members came out, beat him and Vito into a hornet's nest with guns, and then took away the money.

"What are you worried about? Are you late for tonight's date?" Vito smiled jokingly and stood in front of Kelgat with his arms folded. The latter frowned and raised his head slightly to look at the boast in front of him. Vito with no sense of urgency.

"Do you really don't know the reason? Or are you kidding me?" "I really don't know, do you mind telling me?" Vito smiled and shrugged, looking quite ungrateful. Kelgat looked at him and tilted his head slightly. He raised his eyebrows, and then after glancing around again, he muttered quietly.

"You killed Mr. Hilko's favorite beast and won tonight from him. He paid a large sum of money. If I were you, I would immediately take the money and leave. , run as fast as you can, then leave the webway and find a corner in the physical universe to hide for a while.”

Vito looked at the nervous Kelgat in front of him, put his hands in his pockets with a smile, "Is it so scary? Your words make it look like I have offended Victor."

"Believe me, it's almost the same. No one can offend Hilko and leave alive, even if they just happen to be standing with them, it's the same. Hilko will beat them all together!"

Kelgat lowered his voice and stared around nervously. He looked like he already wanted to escape, and he couldn't wait. Vito looked at him and smiled, shrugged slightly, then turned around and walked over with his pocket in his pocket. Direction of the opening arch on the other side of the hall.

"Then I won't cause you any trouble. I wish you a pleasant evening and see you next time." "I would rather this is the last time we meet, Mr. Constantine."

Kelgat whispered, and after staring at Vito's walking back, he quickly turned around, looked around, and quickly walked towards the exit of the hall. He turned and disappeared there, leaving this dangerous place. A place of right and wrong.

Vito smiled silently and walked across the large deck of the hall with his pocket in his pocket. After passing under the arch with numbers painted on the side, he came to the huge parking deck next to the hall. He waited here for a long time. , Lilith, who was already a little impatient, raised her head.

Lilith, who was sitting on the side and didn’t know it was the visitors’ checked luggage, jumped down from it with her hands on her hands. She stood with one hand on her hip beside Magnus’s cage, looking at Vito who was walking casually, “So, What should we do next? The captain is nowhere to be seen."

"Let nature take its course." Vito said as he walked past Lilith, he gently raised his palm and scratched her face. The latter smiled, shrugged, and hung his head on his shoulders. Looking behind him, Vito walked to the cage.

"So where should we go now? Find a place to have a drink?" "That's not a bad idea. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some fun while you wait."

Vito smiled and walked to the Dark Eldar floating transport trailer that carried the huge cage where Magnus was sitting. His fingers clicked twice on the display screen on the side of the trailer, and with the crisp ticking With a sound, the indicator lights on both sides of the floating car lit up, and then it levitated from the ground.

It dragged the heavy iron cage on its back, and the Cyclops in it floated next to Vito. After the latter quickly clicked something on the screen, he waved his hand slightly to follow, and walked to a stop in the distance. Predator speeder on the landing strip.

After Lilith shrugged slightly, she followed him with the whip on her waist. Also following Vito was the floating car, which drove silently and slowly behind Vito, carrying goods. With Magnus on his back, he headed towards the speed attack boat not far away.

The open cabin of the speed attack craft seemed not far away, and the hanging landing deck seemed to be within two or three steps, but Magnus seemed to feel that it was far away, as if it was on the horizon.

This is not because the physical distance of the ship has changed, but the atmosphere here. There is a dead and unsettling atmosphere here, which surrounds the surroundings and makes the road to the hatch become long and frustrating. A chill down my back.

"Vito, something is wrong here, not at all." Magnus was sitting in the cage, leaning slightly towards Vito and muttering in a low voice. Vito, who was walking on the parking deck beside him, also scanned the surroundings with his eyes. .

"I know." He said softly, putting his hands in his pockets and walking along the runways of the passenger hangars on both sides. The decks on both sides were filled with various types of cars, either low-key and simple, or flashy. A kind of private spaceship. You can tell the difference between wealth and status at a glance from the appearance of those ships.

But there was no one around those boats, their owners were nowhere to be seen, and even the ground staff disappeared without leaving a trace. The entire airport was completely silent, without a single sound.

Vito took out the newly acquired golden pocket watch from his arms. He opened the cover and looked at the hands. As he expected, something was wrong.

"It's getting daybreak, and tonight's wrestling match should be over, so I guess if it wasn't for the delicious breakfast here, or if there were other activities, this place would be full of guests ready to leave."

Vito didn't think there was anything in this damn place that could attract visitors to stay other than fighting beasts, so yes, the situation here was unnatural and something was wrong.

"Then what should we do? Keep walking?" Magnus asked softly. Vito, who was walking on the deck on his side, remained calm and composed. He put his hands in his pockets and walked on both sides with a calm and calm expression. between spaceships.

"We'll look at the situation. Let's go to the speed attack craft first. I hope my worries are unfounded." Vito said, taking a big step. He walked towards the shuttle that was already close at hand, and the landing deck dropped on both sides. The take-off and landing hydraulic levers are almost within reach.

But just when Vito was about to touch the edge of the gate, two figures suddenly walked out from behind the landing deck. They had been hiding behind the large sagging gate before, but now they came out and blocked the In front of that gate.

Vito stopped after taking a few steps, and the float car beside him also stopped carrying Magnus. Vito stood on the runway with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, looking at the two tall people blocking the road. The strong men, with pistols and maces hanging on their waists, looked at themselves coldly with breathing masks with tubes inserted into their faces.

"It looks like we are in trouble." Lilith said, looking sideways at more strong men walking out from between the docked spaceships on the left. They were all of the same tall stature, wearing the same vests, shirts and trousers, and their faces Everyone wore breathing masks and walked out of the spaceships parked next to each other.

Lilith looked at the people who appeared from the corners one by one. They slowly walked out from behind the landing pad of the spacecraft, and soon they all stepped onto the edge of the runway, forming a wall on one side.

Vito glanced to the right, where many people were walking out. He also heard the footsteps behind him. In that dead silence, any footsteps seemed so eye-catching and easy to detect.

Therefore, Vito's ears were keenly caught at once. The impact of the long stick that was mixed in the footsteps and existed as the absolute main theme. The sharp end of the palm collided with the ground again and again with the footsteps, supporting The man holding him appeared behind Vito.

"Mr. Hilko, I know we will meet again, but why not go to the bar for a drink here?" Vito turned around with a smile, and the hem of his windbreaker swung from the back of his thigh, letting him He could see Hilko standing on the track behind him.

He held his cane with both hands and stood on the runway in the same gorgeous custom-made dress. But what was even more noticeable was the row of tall guards behind him, their muscular bodies like Asta Behind him stood the Tenabans, each armed with a weapon.

"Mr. Constantine, why are you leaving in a hurry? I haven't congratulated you on your victory and reward tonight." Hilko slightly raised his thin face and looked at the people in front of him with his dark eyes. Vito, who turned around completely with a smile, looked around at the guards.

"Thank you, but you brought so many people to congratulate me. Do you think too highly of me? I haven't prepared a celebration party yet." Vito looked at the man in front of him, and the two of them looked at each other in the distance. , staring into each other's eyes.

Hilko chuckled for a while, gently stroking the beak at the end of the crow's scepter with his fingers, the sharp, knife-like beak part, "It should be, there is also something in the reward in your hand. It’s a lot of money from me, plus you killed my beast, so I think I need to be more formal when I come to see you.”

"Then, do you want to take it back?" Vito smiled and took out the card from his arms. He turned the thing on his fingers, and it seemed that in addition to tempting Hilko, he also meant a lot of ridicule.

The man standing on the runway sneered, and his laughter echoed around the entire deck, becoming very loud in the echo. What was also multiplied were his words.

"You look quite confident, Mr. Constantine. Have you noticed that there are many people around you who can help me get that thing back?" Silko said, and the guards behind him all pressed After stopping the weapon on his waist, there was a sound of gun bolts being loaded around Vito.

Vito did not panic and continued to look at Hilko calmly, "Oh? Really? Look, Mr. Hilko, you may not know me yet, but this is not the first time I have seen such a scene. ”

As Vito spoke, he took out a gun from his pocket almost instantly. He seemed to have hidden the gun in the pocket of his wide trench coat in advance, and he took it out instantly, and the moment he pulled it out was complete. After loading the bullet, he pointed it at Hilko in front.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Hilko's forehead. The guards behind him all drew their guns and pointed them at Vito. There was also a sound of bullets being loaded in the direction of other guards around him, and they all pulled out their weapons. , aiming at Vito standing on the central runway from all directions.

At the same time that Vito pulled out his gun, the silver-haired beauty beside him also suddenly lifted up the skirts on both sides, reached behind his waist and pulled out the two pistols covered in the intersecting holsters at the back, and raised both guns. Leaning on Vito's back, she smiled and pointed her gun at the two guards behind Vito in front of the landing deck.

Lilith aimed at them, and her gun muzzle scanned the guards on both sides of the track. She and Vito pointed three guns at them, while around them, there were dozens of guns pointed at them. Mouth to muzzle, it seems that in an instant, fire will jump out of the black hole of the muzzle.

In this dangerous moment of lightning, Hilko still looked into Vito's eyes. He sneered and pressed his hands on the crow cane in front of him, "Two people, three guns against a dozen people, dozens of guns, Kang Mr. Standing, is this too bold?"

Vito sneered and pointed the gun in his hand at Hilko's head, "Your guns can fire, and so can our guns, so many people will indeed die here tonight, Mr. Hilko, and I I can guarantee that the first head to explode will be my Dabao’s.”

Vito said, tapping his finger lightly on the trigger, and took out his other hand from his pocket. He held the remote control of the iron cage in his hand, and Vito pressed it without thinking. button, as the red button was injected into the surface of the long-handled remote control, the iron cage doors behind Vito were all unlocked and opened instantly.

The rotating electronic lock sounded responses one after another. After the ticking sound, Magnus suddenly opened the cage door, jumped down from the trailer and stood behind Vito and Lilith, the burly red giant standing tall. The earth swelled its body, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Magnus stood up and roared into the air. The deafening roar echoed throughout the entire deck. The already loud roar of the original body became even louder due to the echo effect of the surrounding walls. The guards standing around were roaring there. Shocked by the sound, they took a few steps back, but they still did not put down their guns.

Magnus's roar blew Vito's coat, and his hair danced forward with the windbreaker. Black hair flew from both sides of his eyes, but his eyes were still staring at the gun pointed at him. direction, staring into Hilko's eyes.

"Plus this big guy behind me, so Mr. Hilko, how many people will die tonight?"

Hilko looked at Vito and snorted. He raised his head slightly and stared into Vito's eyes with his dark eyes. "So, I guess you won't be willing to give me that card, right?"

"Obviously, unless you come and get it yourself, the premise is that your eyes won't fly out of your head." Vito sneered and pressed the trigger, without any hint of fear or concession in his words.

Hilko also sneered. He suddenly walked over slowly with the cane in hand. Vito's gun was pointed at his head, but the latter seemed to be as fearless as himself, "Then, let's change One solution is that you took away my reward and killed my beast, which did cost me a lot, but, like I said, we are civilized people and there is no need to let this place be dirty. "

Silko said, raising a hand, he pointed at Vito and then at Magnus behind Vito, "So, I propose to use the reward from the golden card as my reward. Your first payment, Mr. Constantine, I will give you more payments from now on."

"What's the price? There is no gratuitous generosity in this world." Vito said with a smile. He did not put down the gun in his hand because of the rhetoric, but Hilko still smiled at him and tapped his cane. On the ground, walking alone step by step, going to the meeting alone calmly and calmly.

"It's very simple, do what you and the beast do best, and you will continue to participate in wrestling under my hand. I will hire you, invest in you, and make you and the Cyclops the new stars in the Webway."

"Of course, you will also bring me a lot of rewards, but I will also generously give a considerable part of it back to you. How about a 70-30 split?"

"Fifty-fifty." Vito continued to say with a smile, and started bargaining very directly. Hilko burst out laughing. He pressed his cane and shook his head slightly as he walked over with a wry smile.

"I will bear all your daily expenses, including the beast's food, training and equipment. Therefore, a 60-40 split is the limit of my concession."

Silko walked up to Vito and almost put the muzzle of the gun against his head, but his eyes went beyond the barrel of the gun standing between his eyes and looked at Vito's eyes behind him. He stretched out his raised a hand, "So, is it a deal?"

Vito looked at the hand, and then raised his eyes to look at Hilko in front of him. He stared at him, and pressed the trigger little by little with his finger. The guards who saw the action all pointed their guns at Vito, and Lilith, who was behind him, also raised her guns and aimed at the guards on both sides. Magnus stepped forward and clenched his fists.

Hilko could also see the finger that pressed the trigger, but he continued to stand there very calmly and calmly, his dark eyes staring at Vito's eyes, and the two looked at each other without saying a word. watching.

Vito's finger continued to press the trigger, as if he was about to fire the firing pin and fire out the bullet. But at the moment when the lightning was about to burst into flames, Vito suddenly loosened his finger and put down the gun.

He looked at Hilko in front of him and smiled, who also smiled and looked at each other with Vito. After a moment, Vito inserted the gun into the holster on his waist, and then reached out and held Hilko's hand, " make a deal."

"Very good, Mr. Constantine, from now on, we are friends." Hilko said with a smile. Vito, who was holding hands with him, also looked at him with a smile. The surrounding guards put down their guns, and Lilith He also slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun and turned his head to look at Vito's side face in surprise.

She didn't know what complicated tricks Vito was playing to work for the freak Hilko? Is he serious? But behind Lilith, Vito showed a cold smile from the corner of his mouth, a sneer disguised as friendly.

"In that case, my friend, what is your real name?" Vito said with a smile, shaking hands gently with the thin man in front of him, Hilko smiled coldly, then raised his head and looked at Vito in front of him. Tou's eyes.

"Sturin, boss of the Pirate Raiders warband, and one of the Archons of Gomor, I believe you have heard my name, right?"

"Yes, I heard about it. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, my friend." The smile on the corner of Vito's mouth changed and turned into the smile of a hunter watching his prey walk into the trap.
