Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 536 When confused, call Sigma

"Well, Magnus."

Geneviève glanced at the still majestic little glasses. He was much changed than before. He was no longer the priest of Sigma who only had faith and battle in his mind.

Being the emperor of the empire is much more difficult than imagined. Even with the support of two churches and the great prestige gained in the great holy war, it is still impossible for a priest who has been in the priesthood for 20 years to get started quickly.

And because of his love for the empire, Magnus would often choose to sacrifice the interests of Nuln Territory in order to keep the political situation as stable as possible. If it weren't for Imrik's blood transfusions from time to time, he might still be dealing with the aftermath of the great holy war.

Magnus seemed very calm, did not immediately respond to Neferita, turned around and began to half-kneel on the ground, praying to the gods he believed in.

His friendship with Imrik made him not want to doubt the trust of his friends, but the duties of the emperor, and Caledor's penetration of the Old World over the years, made it difficult for him to insist on this idea.

Since there was such a big conflict between the friend and the emperor, he chose to use his identity as a believer to resolve this matter, just like the night before the great holy war, the gods would always look after the believers and give them guidance.

Seeing Magnus start praying, Davian, who was bored, leaned on the stone pillar next to him, and turned a deaf ear to Geneviève’s question about what the iron box was in his hand. It's still useful, so make sure to bring it to the basement of the White Tower of Hoss for research.

"Noble Sigmar, the world is drowning in filth, your empire is in dire straits, faith is collapsing, and evil is rampant..." Magnus began to emit white light, which was like the purest flame, burning anyone who tried to peep people.

Davian didn't care to stay where he was, the prince became the leader of the Lizardmen, and several of his subordinates also made a fortune by the way, and the big toad generously shared the knowledge about the wind of magic, provided that he didn't have a bad brain when using Slann magic. will explode.

And Genevieve next to her tightened her black robe to prevent the astigmatism from shining on her skin. Even if she could get here, it didn't mean she could really ignore Sigma's soul flames, let alone the person who was praying. The most powerful disciple of Sigma ever.

Magnus stopped praying, the light in his eyes gradually dissipated, Sigmar had given him the answer, and as a pious man, he would obey without hesitation.

"Elf, take the book of Nagash and leave, so that it will never return to the old world."

He stood up slowly, his tall and broad body appeared more resolute than before. Power would obviously corrode a person's will, even if it was placed on Magnus, he could still feel it subtly.

After getting Sigma's reply, he undoubtedly changed back to the brave and fearless priest before.

"Higgsmian and Kristoff will go to Erengrad with you. Before you kill Katrin, I will also clean up the Lahmian vampires in the empire."

The Dragon Prince showed a satisfied smile, that's right, Higgsmian, the great mentor of the Blood Knights of Sigma, Christoph, the great mentor of the White Wolf Knights, two knights guarding religious holy places, there is no doubt It is the most elite force in the empire.

"You look like a great jihad leader. Don't be blinded by temporary illusions. This is my advice to you."

While speaking, Davian rolled his eyes at Geneviève, wondering if he was warning Magnus to be careful about this Lahmian descendant, or he was talking about the current political situation.

"Elf, I also give you a piece of advice. The influence of the blood of Lahmia is beyond your imagination. Although I don't know what you want the Book of Nagash for, it will cause more disputes." Geneviève I thought of a rumor about how Neferita became a vampire, the Lich Lord Akhan, the Nagash follower who fought against the Tomb Kings in Nehekhara for thousands of years.

"Hehe, if Nagash came in person, Caledon might still be afraid, but it's just Akhan... Vampire, we know more than you think, including who your mistress' lifelong enemy is. "

After seeing Neferita's embarrassing expression, Davian smiled heartily. Since she can't kill her, she can use the experience she is most proud of to satirize.

Magnus, who was standing in the center, was not in the mood to continue arguing with Davian. The result of the oracle was only one sentence, and he tried his best to support it.

Unable to understand what it meant, he planned to go back and think about this matter again. The thing in front of him was to send the book of Nagash away.

This thing is a huge hidden danger, and there are countless people who want to steal it, and many of the Blood Knights of Sigmar, who are responsible for guarding the temple, are also driven crazy by these two evil books that retain the will of the Lord of the Dead.

When it was time to get down to business, Davian also stopped laughing, raised the flat iron box in his hand, and began to introduce the treasure, "The star iron box forged at the core of the Vaal Temple has passed through the Sotek Sect and the Slann Council. And the three-layer reinforcement of the court mage, I only have three chances to open it."

Magnus, who didn't intend to ask what the key was, nodded, and began to call the priests to enter, his eyes signaled Neferita to leave here first, and she must not be involved in the next thing.

Twenty bald priests who recited the name of the twin-tailed comet opened the door, prayed to Sigma first according to the procedure, and then, led by the high priest, a group of people walked deeper.

The dim underground passage was filled with oil lamps, and the smell of burning animal fat rushed into Davian's nostrils.

There is no trace of darkness here, even on the stairs that keep walking down, there will be a lamp on the top of the head every two meters, and from his eyes, these lamps may have been baptized by religious sacrifices .

After bypassing several doors and hundreds of meters of passages, through multiple checkpoints and traps, several large-caliber artillery were aimed directly at the entrance, and the faintly small and abrupt walls obviously had another mystery.

An airtight defense facility is almost comparable to the security of the palace basement...

Davian was thinking about how many people would be needed if he wanted to force his way in. Human beings may lack diversified methods due to their low level of magic research, but the Blood Knights of Sigmar stationed here are all absolute religious fanatics, with iron will and fighting skills. , with the support of magic and gunpowder, I am afraid that without paying a price, I may not be able to find the Book of Nagash.

The closer they got to the destination, the louder the voices of the priests prayed. Magnus, who was walking in the front row, had already raised the emerald griffin, driving away the will of the lord of the dead to permeate outward all the time.

When he came to a gate with a huge symbol, even Davian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

I am afraid that this door has been forged for a long time, and there are all kinds of small scars everywhere, such as cutting with axes, stabbing with swords, hammering...

But it still couldn't conceal the shimmering brand in the center, a Valaya rune that obviously put a lot of effort into it.
