Endurance, corridor.
Now.
.
Hades, who had just finished a day of training, was now walking silently in the gray-green corridor, and his dull footsteps silently echoed in the long and narrow space.
Normally, he would be pushed and shoved by several veterans back to his personal rest area, but today, Hades chose to deliberately end the training early.
Hades wanted to be quiet for a moment and think about the information he had recently observed.
So he left early on the pretext of going to the third archive room.
First of all, Hades is certain that he has been "chosen".
Even though the person who made the decision did not show up, Hades realized something from the increasing number of veterans who gathered around him over the past few months.
Although some veterans simply wanted to beat him up, some veterans looked at Hades with extremely complicated eyes.
After Hades knocked them down and exchanged a few simple words, they would show a relieved expression again.
But when Hades deliberately asked them in a roundabout way, they had another expression of "I know nothing".
Hades was left pretending to be amiable and ignorant and laughing it off.
Hades was speechless.
These veterans really can't pretend.
Compared to those old-timers in management who never show their emotions, these veterans who fight every day are relatively simple.
Most of these veterans who had meaningful intentions were quite friendly, and Hades silently classified them as moderates or neutrals.
Those who rushed up to beat him without saying a word were most likely radicals.
Hades touched his nose. They were the ones who beat people the hardest.
After hanging out with the veterans for several months, Hades had a preliminary understanding of their factions and ideas.
Most of them are still neutral, and as long as Mortarion is capable enough and leads them to fight for the Empire, they will offer their loyalty.
Some were moderates, some of whom were neutrals and became moderates after they deemed Mortarion qualified, while others were smitten by the innate bond between the Primarch and his offspring.
The smallest group is the radicals, and these guys are ready to sacrifice in the next battle.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately arranged for him to come into contact with these Terran veterans.
Someone also deliberately arranged for Vox to come into contact with the Barbarus people from other companies.
Hades initially thought that this was instructed by Garo, but after he learned some of the history of the Seventh Company, Hades realized that Garo would not be so ostentatious.
There is someone else behind Jialuo.
But this is the range that Hades cannot reach at present.
That person's purpose was probably very simple, and Hades knew what he was thinking.
He is investing.
Hades couldn't help but frown again. If this was true, he would have to go find Mortarion again.
But recently he has been busy with training and hasn't paid much attention to Mortarion.
Another thing that made Hades uneasy was that since the think tank broke out in the duel cage, this part of the news had been completely blocked.
Not a single word leaked out.
Hades's behavior on weekdays does not overlap at all with the think tank and the First Company where Karastiphon is located, so he has no way to collect information.
No, he had to go find Mortarion somehow.
But not yet.
Hades knew that the person who chose him behind the scenes was also observing Hades' every word and action.
He had to follow the other party's daily routine for a while.
After a while, if Hades meets his standards, he will probably take the initiative to find Hades.
The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Hades does not want to alert the enemy by rashly going to find Mortarion.
If the other party took the bait, Hades had a hunch that he could save some of the Terrans.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hades chose to wait.
It is still the period of the Great Crusade, the twenty-one Primarchs have not yet been found, and Chaos' corruption of the Legion has not yet begun.
Moreover, considering Mortarion's extreme aversion to psychic power and his high level of vigilance, Hades felt that he should... shouldn't fall into the trap so quickly, right
Mortarion, I believe in you, don't be reckless!
However, half of the control of the Legion now lies with the captain of the First Company, Barazin. Hades believes that even if Mortarion is sometimes abnormal, Barazin is definitely a rational person.
There is also the think tank. Hades really has no idea where to start at the moment.
He can't just run to the think tank and shout, "I'll help you," right
Hades had beaten up their think tank before, so the other side must have thought he was looking for trouble.
Is it true that the Death Guard will abolish the Think Tank in the future
A feeling of powerlessness and exhaustion really enveloped Hades' heart.
It seems he will have to go to Mortarion to talk about this matter.
However, a ticking sound interrupted Hades' thoughts.
In the empty corridor, a mechanical sage slowly walked over from the opposite side.
A scarlet robe was draped over a body that seemed bent and broken, and mechanical feet made of cables extended from under the robe. The mechanical sage kept changing his steps and moved slowly in the corridor.
Um
Is it the mechanical sage that came from the Mars transport ship
Still alone
This road can also lead to the foundry hall, but the path is quite complicated and winding.
Is he lost? How can a mechanical sage get lost? ?
The distance between them is getting closer and closer -
Hades maintained his pace and quickly passed by the sage.
The ticking sound gradually faded away.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Hades continued to move forward on his own path, and he should hurry to the third archive room to return the book.
In his hands he held a copy of the Chronicles of Urshi, which Hades had not yet returned since borrowing it a few months ago.
It's not his fault, he's been beaten every day these days, so his reading speed has naturally slowed down.
The Urshi Chronicles, a book that records the history of the Terra Caucasus, the rise of warlords, the establishment of local councils, wars, games, and -
witchcraft.
It records a large number of cases of psychics using witchcraft.
Those howling indigenous wizards, those bloody sacrifices, those shamans whose bodies were split open and ominous things crawled out of their heads.
The book describes these evil and blasphemous witchcrafts in considerable detail and exaggeration.
Hades still remembers the first time he saw the description of witchcraft in this book, he stared at the pages in amazement.
Isn’t this chaos? ! ! !
Is that a demon??!
Holy crap!!!
As a time traveler, Hades knew without a doubt that what was described here was the chaos of the subspace.
That historian, that historian, he recommended this book to Hades?!
Hades' scalp tingled.
Although half of his brain is without scalp.
But Hades suddenly recalled the conversation between him and the historian. When recommending this book, he said:
"Although this book is a history book, it can be read as a novel. We historians sneer at the fantastic descriptions in this book."
Hades was referring to some magical description of personal heroism at first, but it turns out he was referring to psychic powers?!
Hades quickly walked into the third archive room.
Sure enough, the historian was not here.
Happy reading (≧▽≦)
By the way, this “Chronicles of Urshi” is the one that Loken reads in the original novel!
