Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 65 The Essence of Black Merchants

Seeing the members of the Unity Society who had already prepared and filed out from the gate to clean the "battlefield", Karl was not in a hurry to make a move here.

After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

With such a huge force, Karl estimated that there should be more than one base.

And with the lesson of a bunch of unlucky guys lying on the ground just now, he decided to sneak in to see what's going on.

In short, now the Tongxinhui is in the light, and Karl is in the dark.

Now that he has the upper hand, there's no need for him to go straight up.

So Karl glanced at the cleaning progress of the battlefield, then turned around and began to arrange his own plan.

A mini signal transceiver device was taken out of his backpack by him.

This machine, which is similar in principle to a black box, allows him to safely "message" to the Red Pirate Mercenary Group who will come later.

After writing the next battle plan for Redbeard, Carl found some garbage and buried the signal transceiver device.

And when he finished all this work, the sound of metal gears turning again came from a distance.

He knew that this was the other party's secret channel closing the sound.

But at this time he was not in a hurry to kill in.

As before, after figuring out the opponent's routine, a map was drawn by Karl again.

In such a deep "underground", it is obviously unrealistic and cost-effective to construct large-scale construction projects.

The only explanation is that the other party used the original abandoned warehouse block, and after a slight modification, built this bottom hive secret base.

But as long as you understand this point, it will be much easier to handle.

According to the situation inside the door just now, and the general building layout, Karl has estimated the general building direction of the entire secret base at this time.

But this result really made him jump.

There are at least 3000 people here, and there is no upper limit at most.

And if the scale of the grain purchased this time is reversed, there are at least 2 people inside.

Fortunately, these are just speculations, and he can only get accurate information when he officially sneaks in.

Looking at the completely closed door, Carl ignored Teska who was sitting slumped on the rubbish dump at the moment, feeling a little "loveless".

After confirming that there was no monitoring equipment at the door, Carl came to the side of the door.

But this time, he didn't intend to shout slogans by himself. After all, Carl, who had already filled up 90% of his attention value, would "explode the meter" once he shouted.

And once the "explosion" the emperor will mercilessly deduct his power of hope to reduce the attention value as in the beginning.

But that didn't bother Carl.

I saw Carl took out the previous pair of binoculars and lightly pressed the replay button on it.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull seat!"

Before Scarlet Moon Chang Na, the infiltrating shouts rang out again.

This time, Karl finally saw the whole process of the whole operation carefully.

In the opened hole, there are several thorny tentacles.

These tentacles verify the visitor's blood as long as the verifier puts his hand inside.

Of course, if Carl guessed correctly, these tentacles should not be completely mechanical, and will absorb a certain amount of blood from the verifier while verifying.

It's a pity that such a strict verification mechanism can't be said to be a stable batch in Carl's eyes, it can only be said that it is useless at all.

As long as the door is opened by mechanical drive, the verification mechanism of these demons and ghosts is just a clown in front of Karl.

But this time, the cautious Carl did not choose to directly open the door in front of him.

Because there is a large space inside, he can't guarantee whether he will stare with a large group of members of the Tongxinhui after he opens the door.

According to the map drawn before, he knew that there was not only one same entrance.

Silently tidying up the crime scene, he turned around and temporarily released Tesca's silent mode.

Looking at Teska who seemed to have lost his machine soul, Karl asked without looking back on the way to the predetermined location: "How much do you know about the black merchants they are talking about?"

"That liar, he is a dead man."

Hearing Teska's answer, Karl was a little annoyed.

"I'm not asking for your thoughts, give me some useful information."

Hearing this, Teska gave an answer that Carl didn't expect, "No, you got it wrong. What I want to say is not that I want to kill the black merchant, but that the black merchant is a dead person."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

====The following content is Tesla’s subjective narration====
The code name black merchant does not refer to a single person, but a mysterious organization.

But in a sense, this organization can also be called a person.

As for whether they are an organization disguised by one person, or an organization disguised as an individual, there is still no conclusion.

According to rumors, the original black businessman was an ordinary gang member.

Until one day, he received a revelation from the priest.

It has called itself the Patriarch ever since.

It is said that at the beginning, the patriarch will personally pass on the enlightenment of the priest.

Later, this behavior was replaced by passing some kind of communion.

But one day, it seemed that the black businessman's behavior was too prominent.

Suddenly, a judge in armor and a large number of temporarily recruited auxiliary troops came, and personally wiped out everything related to the black merchants.

Since then, black merchants have not appeared again for a full 100 years.

But in recent decades, after the adult left, black merchants reappeared.

In most cases, transactions with black merchants will go smoothly.

Even unscrupulous merchants often charge prices well above their value for certain items.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand, after all, these contraband are themselves rare goods.

And as the transaction progressed, some people gradually discovered the strangeness of the black businessman.

He was able to appear in several trading scenes at the same time.

But this time, most people chose to remain silent due to their interests.

And it was rumored that once, a certain organization set up a Hongmen Banquet to kill black businessmen, and they did "succeed" that time.

But after that, the black merchants did not disappear, but the organization was never mentioned again.

=========
After listening to Teska's narration, Carl's brows were deeply wrinkled.

What kind of black merchant is this? This is obviously a chicken thief!

The point is, why did the chicken thief have a relationship with the believers of the Four Gods?
Are they not enemies?
Is it mutual use, or is there another reason?
A lot of questions instantly filled Carl's brain.

(Note: Chicken thief--gene stealer, the "pioneer" of the Tyranids.)
To the Great Devourer of the Tyranids, these gene-stealers are nothing more than a set - edible utensils.

Indeed, judging from the ultimate goal of the chicken thief, it is not impossible to temporarily reach some kind of deal with Chaos believers.

But there is something weird about it.

Once the Scarlet Tears Plague is released, it will definitely be a disaster at the level of Apocalypse.

But why do chicken thieves participate in this plan? It is not good for them who only care about the delicious meal after the arrival of the children of the stars.

With little question marks in his head, Carl walked to a new entrance.

And if you look carefully, you will find that this is the door that Franco opened.

…………

　(Note: In fact, the chicken thief did not cooperate with Chaos here, and this paragraph does not conflict with the description of the mentality of black businessmen in Chapter 19. This is a "misunderstanding", so I won't spoil the details.)
