How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 10 Rumors
"Bad idea," Conrad Coates said 584 times. "This is a really bad idea."

"Friendly reminder, I was just giving random suggestions at that time. The person who really makes the decision is you, the leader of the Eighth Legion." Fujimaru Ritsuka broke a piece of chocolate behind him, "I have said it probably more than 400 times. , if you really don’t want to do this, you can stop at any time.”

She threw the broken piece of chocolate into her mouth and returned Conrad Coates's glare with a very deliberately innocent look.

In terms of subjective time, after leaving the subspace, or the Terra Star Torch, they have been hunting for about half a Terran year with extraordinary efficiency - hunting the Night Lords.

At that time, Fujimaru Ritsuka's suggestion was: "Don't you have a legion? Although they rebelled with you and more than 1 years have passed, but now you have returned to the empire, after hearing the news, your heirs may not be able to Willing to surrender. Let’s not talk about more details first. If we just put them into the battlefield and pick and choose, we might be able to form a battle group outside the establishment.”

Conrad Coates believed that he must have been silently affected by the golden light everywhere in the Star Torch, and then he felt that this was something that could be considered.After Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully demonstrated to the emperor that "technical problems are not a problem" with a lengthy magic theory, he even thought it was a good idea.

Don't get me wrong, he has fully anticipated this matter.In other words, he thought he had fully anticipated this matter.He is fully aware of the virtues of most of his legion's descendants, and he also fully understands that during these 1 years of continuous war, without restraint or supervision, things will only get worse.He is fully prepared to "face a large group of robbers, robbers, torturers, murderers, perverted artists, even ogres, or trash who only act to satisfy their own animalistic nature. When encountering a strong enemy, he will easily There are deserters who kneel down, and then there are scum and villains who have committed other crimes that would make paper and pen humiliate even if they were written down, and the kind of people who are truly 'saveable' may only be one in a thousand." Such psychological preparation.

He didn't even expect that after these 1 years, anyone with a sense of justice would appear among his descendants.Including newly drafted recruits.Anyway, his Eighth Legion was originally composed of criminals and scum.The only thing he dared to believe was that his good sons would pass on this tradition perfectly.

But if you feel that something can no longer be worse than you predicted, you'd better leave yourself a psychological margin of "it will get worse."Because fate is this kind of thing that ignores people's will and makes everything worse with a crazy laugh - especially in a world where reality and illusion are gradually blending as the Great Rift unfolds.

It is difficult to define when Konrad Coates became more angry, disappointed or sad: when he returned to reality and was once again tortured by the haunting prophecy talent, and therefore learned everything he was about to face. ; Or when he really saw his descendants who had surrendered to Chaos and degenerated into human beings; when he slaughtered an entire Chaos warband that retained his genes with rage and despair; or when he calmed down and reviewed it afterwards In the process, he realized that more than half of the things he killed that could hardly be called Astartes were even surprised and happy when they died.

If he were a mortal, he would probably have vomited it out.But he wasn't, so he just said to Fujimaru Ritsuka for the first time, "I'm starting to think this is a bad idea."

Although this idea came from Fujimaru Ritsuka, she had no insistence on it and immediately said that otherwise we would stop here. I still have several ways to work around it.But Konrad Coates refused.

He saw this as a torture, a punishment that he deserved - not for betraying the Empire or the Emperor, but because he had allowed himself to trample on the justice in his heart.Even though his crimes in his last life have been tried by assassins sent by the Emperor, this does not mean that he is qualified to retrieve the original... noble and sacred things after returning to the world.

Therefore, he must punish his guilty heirs with his own hands, and must eradicate the venom spread to the galaxy due to his poor supervision...of course, in the way he is most familiar with.

For this reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka once said three times, "I think your methods are a bit excessive," but Conrad Coates turned a deaf ear.So after three warnings to no avail, she began to ask to act with him, and blatantly stated that she was just going to get in the way.

Perhaps no sane person would agree to take her with him after hearing such a purpose, but Conrad Coates nonchalantly applied the sentence that Fujimaru Ritsuka had said to him many times. : You are the one who really makes the decision, and you can do whatever you want.The latter was obviously a little surprised that he said this. Maybe she didn't intend to actually follow Conrad Coates during the operation, but since he dared to say so, Fujimaru Ritsuka certainly didn't dare to Stay with me until the end.

So for the next four subjective months, they were together in the subspace, in the hive world, in the abandoned orbital space station, among the tattered Imperial cruisers that had obviously been robbed, and Four Chaos warbands were "cleaned" with terrifying efficiency.Although Ritsuka Fujimaru was indeed working hard, the best she could do was to make Conrad Coates' crime scene look like an ordinary plasma film, rather than a bloody performance art booth.

They can achieve such terrifying efficiency thanks to the reliable technology provided by Fujimaru Ritsuka.Not just a divination magic run on the blood of Conrad Curze himself, based on the base contract, not very accurate but seems to be completely adequate for now, the arbitrarily named "Midnight Lord Positioning System"; she is I have always been thinking about it, and the application scenario is obviously the small ship in the planet's atmosphere, which also plays a great role.

Conrad Curze, who lacked the corresponding talent, could not understand how she was able to operate the equipment on the Stormbound with magic and the Emperor's psychic powers. The cultural relic-level armed scientific research ship at the beginning of the second millennium of mankind can also complete subspace navigation quickly and well. Even this small ship can properly utilize the waves of time and space in subspace, within an acceptable error. time travel within the scope - which is why their journey must be measured in subjective time.Not to mention that she also developed a large-scale ritual that is said to be based on the light of the star torch and can be called an ultra-long-distance teleportation. It is precisely because of this that they even managed to move the ship with people within three hours in the first step. It moved directly from Holy Terra to the edge of the Ghoul Starfield, the farthest place that the light of the Star Torch could reach in history.However, this ritual requires the support of the emperor's spiritual power. This long-distance transmission will weaken Fujimaru Ritsuka, who presides over the ceremony, for three or four days at a stretch. Therefore, after she decided to act together with Konrad Curze, this function was Temporarily disabled.

By the way, during the process of jointly cleaning up the Night Lords, Conrad Coates issued death threats to Fujimaru Ritsuka 42 times, and suddenly went crazy or fell into a state of delirium for various reasons [-] times, truly putting into practice the death threats. Ten times, he successfully severely injured people twice, and locked himself in a cabin that was too small for him in the storm boundary sixteen times (the total duration was about fifteen standard Terran days).The most annoying thing is that Fujimaru Ritsuka even realized that this was the result of Conrad Coates restraining himself as much as possible for some reason.

The result of their work was only the successful "recycling" of the eighteen Night Lords who were "rotten but probably not rotten to the core" - they were all recruits in the past 200 years. The Great Crusade and the original body were completely unsatisfactory to them. s legend.Even so, the moment they saw Conrad Coates, they realized what the person in front of them meant to them.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka already knew that he should not have any illusions about Conrad Curze's attitude when facing the children of his own legion, it was another thing to actually see the disaster scene.Obviously, although he allowed these people to live temporarily, he didn't feel that he should like them - he didn't even bother to say a few words to these eighteen people, and left them to Fujimaru Ritsuka to make full arrangements.The reason is also ready: she is the captain of the Storm Boundary.

This attitude is obviously not friendly, but it is also obviously very effective.These eighteen people wore random pieces of power armor, decorated with human skins and corpses. They usually made their fortunes by robbing merchant ships and ruthless corrupt nobles on remote planets (this is why Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to convince Conrad that The incarnation of fear in their lives ("they don't suck"), on Fujimaru Ritsuka's ship behaves like some frightened little animal.

The fact that they were completely ignored by their genetic father seemed to make them more frightened and desperate than other members of the same war gang being dismembered alive in front of their eyes. Fujimaru Ritsuka was placing them in a suitable space. After meeting these people, they did not ask them for anything beyond the basic rules, but after a short period of time, these people quickly realized what they were doing, and very proactively provided Fujimaru Ritsuka with all they had. Know all the rumors and information related to the Night Lords that you can think of.

Conrad Coates was noncommittal after learning about this, and seemed to want to follow through on his indifference to these heirs who barely stepped on the line. Unfortunately, just like the excuse he found before, Fujimaru Ritsuka was the one on the Storm Frontier. The captain.It is natural for a ship to have its captain decide its course, so they finally spent about a week observing and calculating star charts, and followed the information hidden in one of the interesting messages to find a star that could almost be said to be It is a wild "agricultural planet".

The moment he saw the planet on Sheba's observation interface, Conrad Coates once again sighed that "bad idea".

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered for a while while holding the chocolate in her mouth, and decided to take a move to retreat before advancing: "What? Even though we are here... why don't we turn around and go back to the big rift now?"

"No, I want to go down." Conrad Coates used a deliberately suppressed tone, and it was difficult to guess his specific thoughts. "Those gossips still seem to be somewhat accurate."

"Did you 'see' anything again?" This topic has become more and more safe in recent times, so much so that Fujimaru Ritsuka is willing to use this direct question.

Conrad Coz paused for a few seconds, and finally spoke reluctantly:

"I saw I found Sevatar on this planet."

　Writing about the Night Lords without writing about Sevatar is like...forgetting about it later (hearty)

　　I’m going through the details of the first story today, but I may not update it tomorrow (you)
