Warhammer Inquisitor

  Chapter 29 Imperial Frontier: Another World

  If the middle nest is a hodgepodge, while the lower nest is a veritable garbage dump, then the upper nest is definitely the opposite of the two of them combined.

This place is different from the crowded urban area and narrow and dark streets in the middle nest, and it is also different from the dead black bottomless pit in the lower nest, which is completely lit by artificial light sources. There are also two areas with extremely bad public security and living conditions. .

In the middle nest, although you can live, there is a high probability that you will not die. After all, the power of the empire can still cover anywhere, but the low income and poor living environment, especially the exhaust emissions of Mechanicus and the less optimistic public health You won't live very well there, but the Empire can at least keep you alive.

   And the low nest, ah, let's not go into details, shall we? You have seen enough, and I believe that you should be quite familiar with the life in Zhongchao. After all, it seems that there is not much difference from our usual life. Of course, I am referring to the lunatic who adds the state religion , the paranoid sages of the Mechanicum, the brutal law enforcement officers, and the corrupt imperial bureaucrats.

   Hmm. Well, maybe the difference isn't that big either.

  But it’s not like that at all in Shangnao. There are wide streets, fresh air, and gorgeous and exquisite architectural structures here.

Different from the steel forest in Zhongchao, the buildings here are very beautiful. It can be seen that they have been carefully designed and built, and every palace-style building decorated with sculptures and exquisite reliefs is surrounded by well-trimmed buildings. green part.

These exquisite gardens and street plants imbue this place with a breath of life. Each building is separated by a certain distance, which is completely different from the dense environment below where buildings are next to each other and people are next to each other. This place can be called comfortable. up.

Large shopping malls, entertainment streets, hospitals, cinemas and various clubs can be seen almost everywhere here. These are part of the luxury life of the upper class. Distributed with vacated platforms.

  On the well-maintained wide road, luxury cars and floating vehicles shuttled one after another. The traffic density here also has an extremely significant change from Zhongchao.

  The street is illuminated by beautifully lined public street lamps. These golden decorated street lamps have a small angel on them. Those angel statues hold lanterns in their hands, and the light that illuminates the world is emitted from them.

Vito was leaning on the leather armchair in the back seat of the car, his body was leaning sideways, with one hand on the car window, and his eyes were staring at the brightly lit and exquisite buildings on both sides of the street. These luxurious villas and palaces were obviously being Enjoying their nightlife, laughter and loud conversations can be heard from time to time.

  And Vito just came to the nest, and within ten minutes of opening, he has already seen four garden parties. The delicious food, as well as luxurious enjoyment and waste, are definitely enough for many people in the empire to live for a lifetime.

Vito has indeed been to many hive capitals, and of course he has seen similar scenes. The life of the nobles and dignitaries of the empire is always so extravagant, but I have to admit that the level of enjoyment of Star Victoria seems to be worse than the general situation. To exaggerate.

  Vito must have seen some less loyal ways of entertainment, or, more similar to, a way of entertainment that may exist for believers of warp gods?

Vito smiled jokingly, and sighed softly, and in the car, beside him, Henry also leaned against the car window and looked at the thousands of lights outside, "Every time I go to the lair, it makes me very Discomfort, the vast majority of people on this planet are suffering and struggling on the poverty line, but here, these **** who have enjoyed privileges for generations can dance and dance every night."

"A lot of times I wonder, if the Emperor really blesses mankind, would he really allow this?" Henry whispered, it seemed more like talking to himself, but Vito laughed, Holding his chin.

"No, he won't, at least I don't think he will." "Maybe, but the light of the emperor is hard to shine here now, or... the emperor of Terra, it has long been not The real emperor."

Henry said, those lights and scenes of joy flashed in his eyes, "I heard that he has completely turned into a corpse, and now, only the insects of the emperor's privileged class are left, under the guise of his brilliance In earning money and having fun."

"I have believed in the Emperor, I have believed in the Empire, Vitor, but every time I come here, I ask myself why, why on earth should I trust them? Thousands of years, nothing has changed, maybe, It is long past time for us to wait for redemption from the Emperor."

   "Don't you think that the Lord of Redemption from the other side of the star sea can bring hope and redemption?" Vito asked, turning his head slightly, while Henry smiled wryly, he sighed and rubbed his neck.

"I believe it, but I don't believe it, and I don't know why. I'm not as religious as Mosley. I have indeed had a lot of ideological changes since I joined the family and the church, but I always feel that... there is some power, or The underlying mind, the will, and it makes me doubt everything we claim, and the Redeemer."

   "I'm like" "Chaotic Heretic?"

Henry froze for a moment, then smiled wryly, leaning weakly on the soft back of the car, "Maybe, I always think, our doctrine declares that all human beings, all life and death are equal, in the Lord of Redemption All are equal before us, and we can all receive ultimate redemption."

   "But why, most of our high-level leaders still live here, go to the nest, and even they themselves are part of the privileged class of the empire, so why do they believe in the Lord of Redemption? For the sake of the world?"

  Vito seemed to be amused, "No, remember? They are the nobles and elites of the empire. Apart from the state religion and the Mechanicum, they don't have any piety and loyalty to speak of."

   "There are people like this even in the state religion, and there are also the Mechanicism."

  "The empire relies on wealth and power to tie them to the imperial chariot. I don't think they will believe in the Lord of Redemption out of faith. They are not religious lunatics like Mosley."

  Henry fell silent, his eyes reflected various colors, and those colors were intertwined, like a splendid feast of lights.

   "Tell me, Vito, is Mosley's disappearance related to you?" Henry said, the atmosphere in the car became cold, and this suffocating silence lasted for a moment.

Vito looked at a statue passing in front of him, it was a statue of an angel, "Directly related? No, but I know he will disappear." "You are very honest, Vito, you are tantamount to admitting that you have harmed Mosley. "I'm not going to lie to you, brother, and I don't think I'm directly responsible."

"Yes, I know that Mal will find Mosley through the traitors and attack him. I said at the meeting that there are traitors among us colluding with that side." "But you still sent him there, or , instigated."

Vito sighed, "You know, even if I don't say it, he will go, and then he will go there privately and disrupt all the plans, so, yes, I encouraged him to go, and I know he 80% won't come back."

   "I got rid of him with Mal's hand. You and I don't need to bear responsibility and infamy. No one will know all of this. Now, the Nest Order is safe."

   "We took down the hammer factory, and there is no lunatic to encourage everyone to do more crazy and unreasonable things."

  Henry shook his head, still looking at the gorgeous building outside the window, a huge garden-style building, the garden in it is full of countless flowers and well-trimmed green plants.

"You are not pious, Vito, I know that you came to the nest also for power, and you are not fundamentally different from the people here." Henry's voice was ethereal and long, as if coming from the dark void, Although they were only less than half a meter apart, the voice still seemed to come from endless nothingness.

  Vito smiled, holding his belly together, "Yes, I don't deny this, I went down for my own business, power, wealth and desire, etc., just like most people."

  Henry smiled and rubbed his head, "You are really honest, many people don't want to admit it." Vito also smiled, "I don't intend to deceive you, brother, I'm just telling the truth."

As Vito said, the whole car stopped suddenly. He looked at the guard outside the front window with confusion and curiosity. It was a guard in a gorgeous uniform with a badge belonging to a private family. , obviously, is the guard of a certain big family, not a local law enforcement officer.

  Wearing blue uniforms, the gate guards with gold wire borders looked at each other with the driver in the front row. They didn't say anything, and then the guards called to the guard room on the side, and the thick iron gate slowly opened.

   They drove into a garden, a private garden with a very objective area, fountains, sculptures, and various artistic buildings. Vito squinted slightly and looked at all of them.

After a while, the car stopped, parked outside a certain palace-style building, Henry smiled and opened the door on one side, "You are honest Vito, then you will like him." "Who?" "Come out by yourself Check it out."

  Henry left the car first, and then Vito also got out of the car door. His boots stepped on the white marble floor, and his black eyes raised to look at the magnificent building.

  Vito froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Of course, what am I curious about?"

  Yeah, it's just Victoria's Planet Governor's Mansion.
