Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 181 Wennam Temple and Assassin Court

As if seeing through the doubt in Carl's eyes, Aurelia, who was leading the way, introduced it.

"Don't you know? That symptom is called enlightenment."

Helpless, Carl, who really didn't know, could only smile awkwardly.

But within a few short steps, he had already discovered something was wrong.

The one who is leading him the way at this moment is by no means an ordinary maintenance worker.

It was a cautious step that can only be taken by someone who has been licking blood with the tip of a knife all year round.

It felt as if Aurelia was more or less wary of a sneak attack from behind with every step she took.

It's a pity that through the thick mask, he really couldn't tell what kind of expression the existence behind the black mask had at the moment.

But his intuition kept reminding him that something was wrong with the person in front of him.

It's just that Karl, who still held the final form twice in his hand, didn't panic at all.

This abnormality was exactly the breakthrough point he was looking for.

It's a pity that time is short, otherwise he must take a good look at this guy who calls himself Aurelia.

And as if seeing through the helplessness behind Karl's awkward smile, Aurée continued to explain.

"Don't look at these people who are crazy now. It won't be long before you can see them doing priest's work in those auditoriums above."

Having said that, Aurelia deliberately paused.

She seemed to want to observe Carl's reaction.

But unfortunately, she didn't read anything on that face with a formulaic awkward smile.

In other words, she only saw the bewilderment in Carl's eyes.

But then again, anyone who is stunned to hear that a lunatic will seamlessly enter and exit high society tomorrow will be surprised if he is not confused.

This time Karl really played in his true colors.

He couldn't figure out why those churches put these low-level maintenance workers, and even maintenance workers who started to go crazy for no reason, into the positions of the church.

Why can the so-called class leap be achieved with a simple epilepsy?

Thinking of this, although Karl probably already had some ideas, he was still ready to wait for Aurelia's correct answer.

After all, that answer is missing several key details.

Only by obtaining the necessary information can he finally confirm the conjecture in his mind.

And as if seeing the doubt in Karl's eyes, Aurene continued to observe while adding: "A generally accepted saying is that they have obtained the emperor's approval through their hard work, and thus achieved the sublimation of their souls." .”

Hearing this, Karl immediately grasped the key words.

"Labour" and "soul".

The former shows that the source of corruption is likely to be hidden near the workplaces of these people, that is, in the railway tunnels where there are only a few yellow lights that flicker on and off at intervals of tens of meters to provide light.

The appearance of the latter further confirms Karl's conjecture about corruption.

But still back to the original question, if these sources of corruption are not presented in those fixed crystals, then where did the Four Gods hide these sources of corruption.

All thoughts come to an abrupt end.

Reasoning is based on information, not unfounded conjecture.

The results obtained in that way are often only misleading.

On the other side, through years of professional training, Aurelia read the traces of his thinking from Carl's eyes.

In fact, she is not an ordinary maintenance worker.

The Order of Assassins, an organization founded by the Prime Minister of the Human Empire, Malcador, at the beginning of the Great Crusade.

It was designed to deal with matters that Malcador felt did not require the Emperor's own hands.

Coincidentally, Aurelia is a member of this organization.

Classified, she is an Assassin who "graduated" from the Venenum Temple, which means "poison" in Latin.

Therefore, Aurene's specialty is to use various poisons to complete various tasks.

But just like the part-time job of an assassin.

It's not exactly her job to go somewhere and kill someone.

In most cases, these assassins have to complete the entire process of investigation, spying, and assassination on their own.

This is also in line with her basic education at Terra's Academy of Assassins.

In fact, Aurelia came from a certain academy of loyalty on a planet named Frank No. [-].

The people in these colleges, apart from some nobles, also have a large number of orphans left behind by their parents who died for the empire.

Generally speaking, most of the students will choose to join the Mortal Auxiliary Army after graduation from the Academy of Loyalty, or go to the local PDF as a high-level military officer.

But Aurelia discovered her new hobby at the School of the Loyalist.

When those wailing "experimental subjects" frantically accused her of atrocities, an assassin who happened to pass by discovered her talent.

She was sent to Terra's Assassin Academy for further education.

But unlike the knowledge she imagined, here she must learn how to disguise, infiltrate, and lurk.

At the same time, her body has also undergone a large number of bio-augmented transformations at this stage.

In fact, she was very dissatisfied with these ten-year-long basic training, which was inconsistent with her expectations.

Fortunately, the passing assassin quietly told her before leaving that after completing this series of trials, she would obtain the biological knowledge she really longed for in another place.

So after going madly inward, and finally won the chief title of the current Terra Assassin Academy by virtue of her ruthlessness, she got her wish and entered the secret place called Wennum Temple to continue her studies.

There, she learned what she really wanted to learn—how to use biological methods to extract confessions.

Of course, the content is too bloody, violent and strange, so it is not suitable to display it.

However, if someone has been to Aurelia's secret room on Frank No. [-] and seen her so-called "collections", they will definitely stay away from this assassin.

Besides, although they are called assassins, in a sense, these people are all the kind of assassins who learned from "Assassin's Creed".

The best way to infiltrate is to kill all the witnesses. It's not blown out, but a terrifying reputation created by a blood-stained blade.

Aurene, wearing a synthetic skin (synskin), is even immune to most bullets.

In other words, the kinetic energy of those bullets, like trying to pinch an egg evenly with the whole hand but not being able to pinch it, will be evenly distributed on the entire liquid clothing sprayed on these assassins.

It is no exaggeration to say that these assassins are the limit that "mortals" can reach in another sense.

And what's even more frightening is that the assassins' equipment is not subject to any restrictions.

Even if it's the strange things in the hands of those aliens, they will take them out and use them without any scruples as long as they need it.

Just like the bottle of "Truth Potion" held in Aurelia's hand.

People who inhale this potion will unconditionally answer any questions she asks.

It's just that just like the devil's deal, anyone who inhales these potions will fall to the ground in pain a few minutes later.

Although it will not lead to death, those who are not determined will most likely become lunatics.

After locking the door of the dressing room, she conveniently dropped a drop of the dark green "truth-telling potion" on the overalls she was about to hand to Carl.

"Who sent you here?"

"Emperor."
