Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

In Port Wandering and even the Expansion, all crimes can be redeemed in two ways, one is the throne coin, and the other is life.

It felt good to throw a Drews charlatan into the lower cabin, the Church of Death would take care of him, and maybe he'd come to the Emperor's side and have some fluff with the Emperor.

Siegel didn't care about the ending of this liar. Perhaps it was because the sacrifice of worshiping the death religion was really effective, or maybe it was other reasons. The navigator family in the roaming port found that the subspace storm in the Dakou passage began to dissipate.

That vital passage will be coming up again soon.

This news is a great source of encouragement to all who reside in Port Wandering, whether workers, pilgrims, or rogue traders in Port Wandering.

Foster's fleet also began preparations to cross the Great Mouth Passage.

-

When Siegel entered the Great Mouth passage, the subspace storm had not completely dissipated.But according to Cassia, barely getting through can be done.

Siegel also agrees with the navigator who has been serving him for a long time.

They became the first Rogue Traders to try to enter the Great Mouth Passage.

Then, with the help of the original navigation scriptures, they walked through the large mouth passage hundreds of times, and successfully broke into a group of subspace air currents...

In order to avoid deviating from the course, or even being involved in one of the two huge subspace vortices, Siegel had to control the ship to temporarily jump out of the big mouth passage.

It is not that there is no place to stay in the Dakou Passage. Under normal circumstances, after entering the Dakou Passage, there are four temporary footholds or passage stations.

Temples, ancient battlefields, a world cursed by witches, and where they stay today: the Hermitage.

Siegel's fleet slowly headed towards a small space station placed in the cold space, which is the hermit's house.

Except for Foster's fleet, there were no other ships in this safe haven, and the fleet slowly docked at the edge of the space station.

After Priti Rasimone returned from the Kronos Expansion and found the Great Mouth Passage, her descendant, Trame Rasimone, got a huge sum of money.

Paid by a small Anglican faction, hoping Trameme will bring them, and their small void dwellings, to the Halo cluster.

Trame is said to have been so violent that during her passage through the Great Mouth, she kicked her passengers and their habitations out of her fleet, and dumped them near an ancient space station called the Conclave Station.Finally, under the action of gravity or other reasons, the two space stations merged into one, which not only protected each other, but also provided shelter for the hermits living inside.

The Hermitage is located in the middle of the Great Mouth Passage, so that it is hidden from prying eyes, and it is a shelter for those small state churches or lonely scholars, where they can quietly study what they want to study.

But the Rogue Traders soon discovered other uses for the Hermitage.

The Rogue Traders began to exchange information and intelligence here, or trade some commodities. As compensation, the Rogue Traders would bring a certain amount of supplies to the hermits on the space station.

Those materials are almost insignificant for the business of rogue traders, but such a safe exchange of information is very rare.

But with the passage of time, the hermit's house fell into disrepair for a long time, and the outer periphery began to collapse, and the scholars who lived here also died in sevens and eighties.Although there are still sporadic hermits arriving here, the place has inevitably declined.

Siegel took the dynasty members off the starship and walked into this small void station. The periphery of the void station has collapsed, and some cabins have been exposed to the void.

hermitage decoration with it

The name does not match at all, Siegel walks in the aisle, at least its decoration can satisfy the vanity of rogue traders, so that people like Siegel can sit down and talk about a business with peace of mind.They walked into the atrium, which used to be the small space station of the state religion, and an old man in robes was sweeping the dust from the atrium floor.

The atrium is richly decorated, quite different from the image of the recluse here, and the walls are richly adorned with frescoes and banners depicting the many victories of Santos.In the small church inside the void station, there is a bluestone altar, a well-preserved luxurious tapestry hangs on the wall behind it, and the huge imperial platinum sky eagle is on the top of the church.

Siegel signaled the sailors to put a box of supplies in the corner, which was probably the cost of the ship's berthing and rest.

I walked into the center of the church in the Hermit's Cottage. The upper floor of the church is a crystal dome that was removed from an abandoned starship. The purpose is to allow tourists to enjoy the majestic scene of the Emperor's domain. Siegel looked up into the deep space, He couldn't see any stars, all he could see was the raging colors of the warp space storm under the veil, enough to make the weak-willed get lost in it.

"Everyone, come and see." Remulle greeted the others, she was standing in front of a side room door of the church.Everyone followed Remulle into the room. The room didn't have any gorgeous decorations, and there were only a stack of parchment and pens and inks for people to write on.

"The Hermit's Cottage used to be a place for exchange of information among rogue traders. Dynasty agents would write information here through code words." Mel used the servo arm to pick up the top piece of parchment left in the writing room.

"Of course, it is very difficult to decipher these code words." Mel gently blew away the dust on the parchment, "But from the amount of dust on it, it can be inferred that no one has been here for about a year."

"That's right..." An old voice came from outside, "You are the first people to arrive at the Hermit's Cottage this year."

"Most of the scholars died this year. I put their bodies into space, and the light of the God-Emperor Society will guide their souls."

"How many scholars and monks are left in the hermit's house?"

"Counting me, there are only four scholars left. It seems that you are all believers of the God Emperor. To be honest, I'm not sure how long the Hermit House can last, how long I can last."

"So please come with me, kid."

The old man turned around and went up the side stairs. The members of the dynasty looked at each other, and finally followed one after another.

Following the pace of the old man, they came to a library.

"Ahem... Look, these are the academic and religious books stored in this church." The old man coughed a few times, "Scholars and pastors used to come to the Hermit's Cottage to conduct their own research, so the books here are getting better and better. many."

"They are all dead now." The old man looked at the books and scrolls on the bookshelf. "The classics on this side are all contrary to the opinions of our few old immortals."

"Hey, when we were alive, we argued with each other, wishing that the other party would die sooner."

"It's really dead, but they don't want to burn the remaining books, child, see if there is anything you need, take it away."

Volume III Fear Pearl: Chapter [-] Arrival at Hong Kong

To take or not to take?Take some or take all?As a wanderer, Siegel often faces such multiple-choice questions.

Behind the sudden kindness may be a priceless treasure, or it may be a trap with hidden secrets.

He looked at the old man in front of him, with his right hand resting on the saber at his waist as if nothing had happened.

The sage of Mel is not interested in this, and there will be no books about Mechanicum.

Regarding the classics of the state religion, neither Siegel nor Remulle is a master of classics, and the classics of the state religion in circulation on the market are enough to meet the needs of the state religion festivals on the ship.

And taboo knowledge... This thing is very embarrassing for Siegel. He knows a lot, perhaps more than most people in the empire.He also knows very little. When he actually entered this universe, the environment he was in was unknown to him every day.

But these books themselves are also a kind of wealth. Even if he doesn't read them, he can get a good return if he sells them to some "collectors".

Moreover, rejecting these scholars seems to be risky.

Not long after Terameh terminated her contract without authorization and left the small state church here, she fell into a dispute with her brother Eddie Muss. In the ancient battlefield in Dakou Passage, there were two The wreckage of the group after the Great War.

For a while, at least, there were rumors that this faction of the State Church was behind it.

Siegel doesn't believe this statement, but Siegel is not too willing to provoke these brains that only the emperor or evil gods know what's inside.

"Thank you for your generosity. I will take some of the books with me." Siegel walked to the bookcase and glanced up and down. There are many books that can be called heretical ideas. No matter how the empire fools and restricts people, it cannot stop it. People's exploration of taboo areas.

Siegel counted twice from one to five, and then from one to three.

In the end, thirteen books were picked and put into the storage box.

There are many versions of the emperor's holy number, and there were endless debates within the state religion.Different sects believe that the Emperor has different symbolic numbers, but with the help of demon scholars, at least the orthodox sects will not coincide with the emperor's holy number and the evil god of the warp.

In the hermit's house, you can only rely on the timing officer on the ship to calibrate the time, but this is not accurate.After they anchored for about three days, they finally set off again and returned to the Great Mouth Passage.

This time, the fleet successfully arrived at the Furious Galaxy.

The fleet that set off first was delayed longer on the road.

Siegel looked at the port of arrival through the observation window of the bridge, and a new adventure was about to begin.

-

When Siegel and the members of the dynasty walked in the familiar Port of Arrival, the population of the Arrival Port became much less visible to the naked eye.

There is a clear gap between workers and slaves and the heyday of the port of residence.

This also made some eyes particularly conspicuous. When Siegel was about to enter the port of arrival for a stroll, he noticed a line of sight among the crowd staring at them.

Looking over according to the feeling, Siegel saw a figure in a cloak, which well concealed the monitor's information.

However, it is normal for someone to watch at the port of arrival, and Siegel doesn't care.

Especially Siegel felt that people who settled in Hong Kong should be afraid of him, after all...

"We are from the Royal Navy Inspectorate, and this is Admiral Tonge, and we are here to collect the tithes your dynasty is due to pay this year." The five wore high-collared, double-breasted uniforms with The locals with epaulets, golden piping and a large number of military rank badges walked up to Siegel and his party. According to them, they were probably local tithe officials who came to collect the tithes of the Foster Dynasty.

"You need to come with us to the 'Imperial Economy Office'."

"After all, I really don't want to get some blood every time I come to the port of arrival." Siegel sighed, and untied the knife from his waist, "Listen, you liars. First of all, there is no Royal Navy, the Empire The naval power of your country is called the Imperial Navy. Secondly, you are wearing the wrong shoulder strap, it is not the rank of Admiral, it is the rank of Lord Admiral, which is the rank of Admiral of the Calixis Sector Fleet."

"The badges you wear even belong to the Imperial Guard!"

"Finally, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't want to see blood, get out now!"

Siegel directly drew the leader's face with the scabbard, knocking off his epaulettes.

"Admiral Tommy!" The liars screamed and helped up their fallen companions, dragged their mouth-covering companions and ran into the port of arrival, "You wait, we will make you pay the price!"

"I don't stutter anymore at this time."

"Papa papa" Siegel heard applause on the other side. Of course he didn't believe that someone was celebrating that he was killing harm for the people, so he turned his head to look.

A tight-fitting black leather jacket and high boots showed off her curvy curves and slender thighs, making her figure look even taller.The outside is covered with matte-treated light carapace, a rapier is pinned to the waist, and a silver gun is carried on the back.

With long chestnut hair, water-blue eyes, and a meaningful smile on his pretty face, Siegel couldn't help but think of the night before they separated, and the other party came to him with such a smile.

"Igrain..."

"Long time no see, Siegel." Igrein walked in front of Siegel, "I haven't heard from you in the expanded area in the past few years, so I thought you died somewhere."

"I don't have time to die yet, Igrein." Siegel was about to help the other party straighten the captain's hat, but the other party grabbed his hand and pulled it off.

"I didn't expect you to inherit the dynasty so soon. Where's your mother?" Siegel noticed that the members of the dynasty following Igrein belonged to the main members of the Armengard dynasty, indicating that Igrein had already inherited from her The position of leader was inherited from the mother.

"My mother has more important work to do...Don't think about it, Siegel, I'm not like those scum, especially Aspiss."

"Ah, from your tone, I can tell that the expansion area has been extremely lively in recent years." Siegel smiled gratifiedly. If Igrain became like Aspis, he really didn't know How to face each other, "How have you been in the expansion area for the past few years?"

"It's okay, as you said, I'm really good at this line of work." Igrein turned his head and looked at the dynasty members behind Siegel, "Aha, some new members, it seems that you have passed through the past few years. Not bad either."

Siegel watched her eyes narrowed dangerously.

Instead he smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"It's okay, nothing worth mentioning."

"Ahem." A servo skull flew in front of Siegel and Igrein, hovered in mid-air, and a holographic projection was projected from the artificial eye of the skull, "Greetings to you, Rogue Traders."

Volume 230 Pearl of Fear: Chapter [-] Prophecy

All eyes were on the hologram projected by the servo skull.

The static-charged image disintegrates into a monstrous beast, a vaguely humanoid creature composed almost entirely of elaborate bionic augmentations.Even his face has been reshaped into a stylized silver dead head, though the eyes are still disturbingly human.When he spoke, however, his voice was surprisingly soft: "Greetings, honored Rogue Traders. My name is Tantos Molos, the current King of the Falls. Personal sentiments, I am delighted to welcome you and your majestic companions here. If you would like, can you two be present at the small celebratory dinner in Port of Arrival tonight?"

"Hello, respected Tantos, we will be invited to your dinner." Siegel agreed with a smile. Igrein was about to let go of her hand holding Siegel, but was caught by Siegel Geer grabbed it backhanded.

Igrain's face remained unchanged, and her high boots stepped directly on Siegel's boots, but she did not refuse aloud.

The King of Arrival Harbor didn't seem to notice the small gestures between the two of them. He continued, "Well, at six o'clock tonight, in the court of the monarch, we will prepare sumptuous food to welcome you."

After speaking, the holographic image disappeared, and the servo skull left the position where the two were.

Watching the servo skull disappear, the two returned to normal with each other.

"What are you doing here?" Igrein looked at Siegel, and the two of them led the dynasty staff towards the depths of the port.

"I'm done with things outside, so I'm going back to the expanded area to run the dynasty's business." My influence between the Expanse and the Rogue Trader group has always existed.

It is only a matter of time before the Dynasty returns to the Expansion, and what makes people more curious is what kind of treasure and business will make Foster withdraw from the Expansion.

"What about you? How have you been these years? Especially the year when the Dakou passage was closed." Siegel didn't want to talk too much about things outside the expansion area with Igrain, "Tell me about the situation."

"I have met a lot of people, and I have learned a lot about the rules among rogue traders." Igrain also said casually, "Fortunately, the dynasty shows no sign of decline in my hands."

"As for the past year..." Igrein thought about it, and introduced to Siegel what happened in the expansion area during this period: "This year was a difficult one for some colonies in the expansion area. year, and for Rogue Traders, this year is full of opportunities."

"Due to the obstruction of transportation, those planets that cannot be self-sufficient have been severely damaged. In order to survive, they have to ask for help and rogue traders. A ship of food can be exchanged for a ship of industrial products. Sailors and slaves are almost free. For Fighting for the maximum profit, the Rogue Traders also fought fiercely, and the second proxy war between Caligos and Aspis started, which lasted for half a year." Igrein looked at both sides of the road at the port of arrival The street vendor said, "Due to the war between the two, the barely maintained material delivery line at the port of arrival was also interrupted, and the population of the port of arrival was reduced by a quarter."

"Thanks to this, it is not so easy to hide yourself from some malicious eyes." Following Igrain's gaze, Siegel saw a man in a cloak watching in the shadows in the distance they.

"Ada Spirit Race..." Igrein recognized the identity of the other party, and said softly: "During this time, the Ada Spirit Race is very dishonest, and too many Spirit Race rangers have sneaked into the port of arrival."

Siegel looked thoughtfully at the figure disappearing into the shadows, "It seems that something drove them here."

Igrein nimbly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Siegel's ear, "I'm not your intelligence officer, Siegel, so the next thing is the 'paid item'."

The plasma pistol on Siegel's waist fell into Igrein's hands, and she brushed the gun flower skillfully and continued: "Your news is still so unclear, I don't know why the Eldar appear here. Clear, but I know why I appeared at the port of arrival."

"The prophecy, a prophecy about a planet full of treasures, attracts Rogue Traders here. There are far more Rogue Traders in Port of Arrival than just the two of us, Siegel. I think you'd be interested in getting involved, don't you?" Igrain raised his slender eyebrows.

"It really sounds like you shouldn't miss it." Siegel looked at Igrein and asked, "You tell me this, what are you going to do?"

"Do you think I will cooperate with you? Stop messing around, Siegel, I'm not a fledgling fledgling anymore." Igrein said to Siegel in a slightly mocking tone: "Let me tell you this, I still miss some old love."

"That's a pity, I thought we could rekindle the old relationship, like dry wood and fire."

"It's a good idea." Igrain gave Siegel a white look, turned around and left with the members of his dynasty.
