Warhammer: Start with a dog

Their group of travelers, who were surprisingly silent but very in line with today's personality, passed through customs normally and extremely quickly, then headed towards the Court of the Dead where the "Silver Mask" anti-gravity series royal store and the "delicious and nutritious" restaurant are located. Go.

This area is called a square, but it is actually a huge and extremely high domed hall, located in the center of the several-story Phnom Penh market area. The reason why it is called the Court of the Dead is because everyone around this huge hall has The top of each pillar and the top of the wall are decorated with many stone faces decorated with dim and dusty gold: they are the faces of the ancient Rogue Traders who came back or failed to come back after crossing the Great Mouth to explore the Kronos Expansion. After his death, he turned into a marble statue on it, and he has been quietly watching the crowded square below.

[Speaking of which, I know that the cheerful fat man Bayona of Silver Mask is on a business trip, but why don’t Tavitz and Loken send two people to pick us up at the port? Although the distance from here is not too far, considering that we lost a 30K veteran of the Hundred Battles Legion and the Palace Swordsman Champion in this short distance, we must be on guard! Speaking of which, little Magna is indeed considerate! Before departure, he sent his favorite escort robot, which he made by himself, to protect our safety. 】

The dog snorted coldly behind his smooth silver-gray robot mask. [Are you lying there drinking Reca coffee every day and losing your mind? They made it very clear in the communication. Now, unless the emperor's champions on the opposite side can accompany them, they will be almost unable to move as long as they leave the scope of the restaurant because of the crowds. 】

【Why? I mean, I know that the Astartes are some kind of embodiment of the Primarch's appearance and the result of genetic engineering. In fact, most of them will be quite handsome if they are well groomed, and I did take into consideration besides appearance when deciding on the candidate. Character and social skills must have an excellent publicity effect on mortals, but it's not that... Oh, wait, is it a story about killing by throwing results? 】

【snort. no. The ones we sent are normal loyalist Astartes, not those alien pointed-eared ram-headed things with six pincers and pliers. This is also an imperial territory roaming port, not the Sixth Ring of the Silver Palace. . 】

The shepherd dog snorted again, but it was obvious that the way Lamizane kept talking stupidly made his tail wagging non-stop, [This question must first be asked about the billboard you personally designed and manufactured. There are also ingredients in our restaurants and the composition of our customers. 】

[Hiss...wait a minute, is there something wrong with the long-term food supplier we just signed? Is there a problem with food safety? It shouldn't be...] Lamizane's voice tightened obviously, [I shopped around for a long time before I found this old high-end supplier! 】

【That's not true. Their ingredients are indeed very good and are of rare and consistent quality and cleanliness. ——Besides, what are you so afraid of? This is the most wild and remote imperial outpost in the remote Calixis sector of the decadent empire. There is neither a Food and Drug Administration nor an FDA. Most people have only drank turbid alcohol in their lives. Recycled water, bottom-nest garbage, wine made from rat offal, and scones or dough made from promethium starch - and you serve golden wine, thick-cut salmon, Glocks steak, Iberian paella and grilled cheese. Sauce potatoes. 】——This meal can buy a mortal life in most places in the empire, or even more than enough. Perturabo kept the second half of the sentence in his long mouth, but did not say it after all.

【call! I’ll just say it! But you actually know even the Food and Drug Administration and FDA, what a smart and knowledgeable puppy you are! Perturabo! 】

【don't want! use! The quantifier "only" and the noun "puppy" refer to me! I say it again! Lamizane! 】

During their conversation, the crowd parted like waves, but the closer they got to the Court of the Dead Square where the Holy Pius Miracle billboard could be seen, the more the crowd's speed and willingness to separate slowed down and weakened significantly. .

Many thin and shabby pilgrims held rosary beads or eagle talismans, praying devoutly or whispering confessions in front of the light-polluted billboard shining with pink, purple, light blue and lake green fluorescence. There were also people in the crowd. There is a new activity organized spontaneously or by priests who lead pilgrims:

The crowd stood, using the billboard as a reference point, and then slowly began to surround it in the solemn and low voice of collective hymns and carols, creating a vortex of hot air that changed the microclimate of the entire hall and created an upward spiral. circular motion——

Countless pilgrims, believers of the state religion, sailors preparing to leave the port, or adventurers were shaking their bodies and moving their steps at the same time. Regardless of men, women, old or young, high or low status, they stared at the pink-purple man with a tattoo on his head with the same pious face. The billboard with a horn-like crown, a human body and a fish tail pattern, and the slogan on it, while whispering a prayer dedicated to the god on the golden throne of Terra——

"..."

"..."

"..."

[...I finally know where Ms. Thirsty’s recent and ever-increasing meager net profit rental income, which is strange and appears out of thin air, comes from. ——Lami Zane Carosini! ! ! ! ! 】

[Uh...but the images on the billboards of restaurants and cafes are very classic, really classic...especially when they match the neon lights...]

[Next, next, you, want, write, next, any, any, east, west, I mean, any! Ready to go public! thing! All of them! Tell me in advance! Let me take a look! to continue! Do you understand? ! Do you know what it’s like to have one or two accounts start to generate inexplicable profits every time you see the dawn of a settlement? ! 】

[Uh, okay, okay, I will remember it. 】

The silent humanoid robot with black and yellow shoulder armor stepped forward and separated the last few human walls between the disguised Iron Lord who was being beaten violently by his black and white dog in the spiritual channel and the Iron Lord who was verbally abusing his body.

The believers touched his armor, kissed his fingers and boots expectantly wherever he walked, and the cold human form simply pushed them away one by one with force, gentleness, and no refusal at all.

Finally, the two beautiful retro doors of the "Delicious and Nutritious" restaurant appeared in front of them.

A dark, round-haired man wearing clothes that greatly reflected his figure was hiding the listlessness behind his enthusiastic face. He held a pen in his ear and shouted at the long queue with no end in sight.

"Next one! Number plate No. 34445! Is No. 34445 there?! No. 34445!"

"Hey! Tariq! Look who's here!"

"Why?!"

The moment they raised their heads and saw their group, everyone felt as if they saw a huge canine creature with sea-green and gray eyes, its ears raised and its tail wagging.
