Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 701 What is the search for?

As time goes by, the Gulam Project is making good progress. As an instructor, Oliveira fully absorbs the experience of walking in the old world and brainwashes teenagers from all over the world.

With the dual temptation of political power and divine power, he tried to make these people understand that there was only one object of loyalty at this time, Imrik as the symbol of Caledor, and Imric, the chosen god of Sotek.

The snake god prophet has opened a branch in Anaheim. Although Sotek does not require human followers, as long as these hot-blooded species can kill mice, the red-crowned skink does not care and continues its missionary campaign for a long time.

Under the "kind" care of many elders, these young people who are not familiar with the world are slowly growing up and being shaped into what those in power want to see.

Away from Anaheim, another side of Gulam's plan was unfolding.

Erd Cape, an adventurer who was beginning to become somewhat famous in the old world. In order to find his missing memories, he deliberately traveled a long way south from Erengrad, just to reach Nunn.

The battered knight found a small hotel to live in and silently looked at the people complaining in the hall.

"Damn factory owners, they should be hanged from the street lamps. I just accidentally twisted a wrong part, and I was deducted a week's salary." The young man cursed loudly. He had already moved from the countryside to the city. After several years, I still feel uncomfortable.

The poor working environment, the unfree lifestyle, and the barely subsistence income all made him express dissatisfaction.

A tall bald man patted him on the shoulder, handed him a glass of malt wine, and comforted him, "At least we have enough to eat. We are not thinking about how to survive, but how to live next. Just say less, I Friends. His Majesty Magnus said that after this period of time, the future belongs to us."

The young man took the wine glass and said hesitantly, "I know, but if you don't curse when you drink, it will lose the atmosphere."

The hall was amused by these tough words, and everyone burst out laughing happily.

Yes, we are already thinking about how to live better, rather than how to survive. This can be considered the best era in hundreds of years.

His Majesty Magnus was even more of a wise king. After launching industrialization, he cut a large amount of palace expenditures. Except for necessary receptions, he did not hold a single banquet, and his donations to the Church of Sigmar were also much smaller.

Just to show an attitude, industrialization is a national policy, and the emperor is not only the executor, but also a participant.

Oed stared at the yellowed beer in his hand, recalling the home of Artois in his mind. It was silent there, and the daily routine seemed to be the same as before. The people worked at sunrise and rested at sundown, continuing the way of reproduction for countless generations. .

The knights protect their homes with their retinues, and the farmers usually cultivate and harvest, and hand over the materials needed for the nobles' safety. Except for the occasional news from the distance, about a certain adult returning home after completing the Holy Grail journey, there seems to be nothing worth mentioning. .

Compared to the scenes of busy construction in Erengrad and Nunn, maybe it will be the same situation after returning home. Gaining the respect of the duke, no need to compete with his brother for the title, being given a territory, and never-ending defense against wild beasts in the forest. Attack by humans and greenskins.

After reaching old age, he voluntarily entered the Lady's Sanctuary and became a glorious guard of the Holy Grail, waiting to go to the kingdom of the gods.

Although it sounds boring, this is the fate of the Bretonnian knights...

Putting down the wine glass, Oede finished the simple imperial stew in front of him as quickly as possible. The Norsca he killed along the way did receive some gold coin rewards from the Kislev authorities, but after seeing the poor people in the northern part of the empire, he Or choose to give away most of the gold coins, leaving only a few as a means of transportation.

After eating and drinking, the knight returned to the room and placed the half-broken long sword he carried with him on the bedside. It was one of the few items he had a vague memory of. He only remembered kneeling in front of a crying black figure and standing. An absolute oath, but I don’t know what exactly I said.

Before going to bed, the knight routinely prays to the lady. As long as there is light, there is no need to be afraid of the dark side. He believes that as time goes by, under the protection of the lady, he will gradually recall those past events.But God will not favor those who do nothing, and finding answers also requires the efforts of believers.

A dark night passed, and the moonlight shrouded Ode through the window, seeming to stare at the figure of the knight who refused to fade away.

The seemingly peaceful and beautiful scene turned strange due to the knight's unconscious body twitching.

His head was squirming with sweat, his body curled up to embrace the darkness that was not covered by the moonlight, and his lips turned white and trembled slightly, as if he was extremely cold.

But the moon will always move, and as the light no longer enters, the knight's body seems to be much more stable, and he sleeps peacefully through the night.

The next day, Erd, who had no idea what happened last night, was full of expectations and came to a residence on the east side of Nunn City according to the coordinates he had heard before.

He knocked gently on the wooden door to signal that someone was visiting, and Erd stood there waiting.

He heard that there was a Cathaynian in Nun who was an advisor to the emperor. It was with the help of this man and a group of strange people that the cursed city was destroyed during the great holy war. He was an out-and-out great hero.

Cathay is bordered by Indy, so I decided to try my luck and visited here.

The middle-aged black-haired man with a beard opened the door, observed Oede, who was obviously not a good person, for a while, and then said the greeting,

"I am from Cathay and I don't believe in the imperial gods. Don't come to preach to me."

Apparently this black-haired man regarded Erd as an ascetic knight of the Church of Sigmar, and planned to spread the glory of God to him.

Erd was stunned for a while, and then subconsciously took a look at the attire, and found that there were indeed obvious gaps in many places. The yellow robe had many threads, and his hair and beard had not been taken care of for a while.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Cathayans, he is somewhat similar to the missionaries of the Church of Sigmar.

He took the initiative to bow and apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm rude, but I'm not a monk from the empire, but a knight from the Duchy of Artois in Bretonnia - Oed Capet."

Seeing that they were not here to preach, Liu Yong felt a little more relaxed. He had settled in the empire all year round, but he was really afraid of these fanatical monks.

If they disagree, they will be sent to the fire rack to be judged. Those who survive will be deemed innocent, and those who die will be Chaos believers. What difference does it make if you take off your pants and fart.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about you. I don't know Lord Capet. I hope you can forgive me." Etiquette is an essential ritual in Cathay. Liu Yong is naturally well versed in this. After telling each other their names and origins, he finally got to the point. illustrate.

"I don't know why Mr. Cape is here to visit. If Yong can contribute his efforts, it will be his duty to do so."

Although he was not used to this Cathay style of communication, Erde still took out the stone pendant hanging around his neck and put it in the palm of his hand for Liu Yong to look at.
"Does Your Excellency Liu Yong understand the meaning of this symbol?"
