Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 199 Upper Nest Hawk Faction Family - Ferdinand

It seemed that Karl's pretended aura temporarily bluffed the Lord for a while. Although the leader who took the lead thought it was a little impossible, he was still going to try again.

After all, no one can guarantee that something like a machine is 100% absolutely correct.

And it doesn't take much to try again, in case it is really a misunderstanding, it will be easy to explain later.

Sure enough, when the ID card belonging to Abbadan was swiped onto the machine, the normal green light turned on again.

The moment the green light turned on, Carl seemed to feel that the surrounding atmosphere suddenly reversed.

After all, the PDF present was just a worker, and no one wanted to get themselves into unnecessary trouble for no reason.

Of course, it should be more accurate to say that they have gotten into too many unnecessary troubles recently, so one less thing is definitely better than one more thing.

As for the small problem of the photo on the ID card not matching the number, who would care?

As long as there is no problem with biometrics, there is no need for extra complications.

Especially that O'Green who looks like a "bodyguard".

Considering its general smell, none of the PDFs bothered to delve into the question of its appearance.

Just kidding, although PDF's salary is generally considered acceptable.

But that's only okay compared to those in the lower nest and the bottom nest.

The developed service industry and high-end manufacturing industry in Shangchao determine its unshakable economic value.

Excluding those low-level employees who are indeed at the bottom of the service industry, it can be said that the per capita income of the entire Shangchao definitely exceeds the final salary of these PDFs.

Although this group of PDFs will elevate themselves slightly, at least they are a group of regular troops in name.

But as far as the status of the attached PDF in the B-13 Hive Capital is concerned, it is still too much to think about letting them run out and desperately.

Except for those guys who seem to be a bit bluffing, this group of PDFs can also be a small follower behind the wind.

Even if there were no noble knights pressing on it, letting them go deep into the previous "darkness" to save people would be an almost impossible order to complete.

Of course, these weaknesses are well hidden at the moment, at least they are still very confident when facing "civilians".

It's a pity that the powerful aura of Karl and Abbadan and the "record" of fighting from the "darkness" are really a bit bluffing.

So since there is no problem with machine verification, naturally no one wants to continue to entangle in this issue.

"Let's go, let's go."

After symbolically waving to the soldiers in the distance to let them go safely, the officer of the noble knights turned his head to Karl and Abadan with an apologetic attitude.

"Fuxu Ferdinand, deputy head of the Red Rose Branch of the Noble Knights, I hope you two don't take the misunderstanding just now to heart. This is a small apology."

Looking at a card similar to a shopping card handed over by Fu Xu, Carl couldn't help but sigh that this person is definitely a qualified old fritter.

The kind of old fritters that turn faces faster than pages.

A second ago, he yelled at Karl for his so-called "leadership reputation" and asked about their identities.

In the next second, he didn't mind being slapped and licked his face to apologize.

This is definitely a, extreme pragmatist.

Only this kind of old fritters will be placed in the position of deputy head of the branch of the noble knights who is neither high nor low.

It can be seen from this that the so-called nobles in the B-13 hive capital are actually not a group of rich and poor.

They are more "cunning" or "smart" than those landlords in the feudal era who knew nothing.

He didn't choose to accept the card Fu Xu handed over, after all, this strange surname reminded him of Bogado Ferdinand in the previous car.

These two people who are completely out of touch have the same surname.

Moreover, considering that the two of them can't be said to be similar, they can only be said to have the same "smooth" personality. It's hard for Karl to say whether there will be any strange blood relationship between the two.

Finally, this kind of talent who is good at being a "fusion agent" is definitely the type that Karl will urgently need in the future.

Therefore, instead of recruiting after the fact, it is better to open up the relationship now.

(stop!)
Is this something to think about while on vacation?
Obviously, this has gone beyond the ordinary daily scope.

If it affects the "relaxed mind" of the loving father, it will be a big loss.

So he silently gave this Fuxu Ferdinand an account in the talent pool, and Karl and Abadan walked out of the border checkpoint directly.

Playing with the golden shopping card in his hand, Carl couldn't help but sigh that there are so many twists and turns.

There is a franc in this card, which is definitely not a small amount. In a sense, instead of calling it compensation, Karl prefers to call it "hush money".

Only by accepting this card can Fu Xu let Karl pass with peace of mind.

It seems that his image of handling everything perfectly is more important than a little money that is insignificant to Fu Xu.

Although it is somewhat strange to do so, as one of the three major families in the upper nest, the Eagle Faction Ferdinand family is like this.

And since it's "tourism", naturally they can't always focus on those nobles.

Compared with the darkness before the level, the world behind the level has almost completely changed.

This is the place where the so-called elites really live.

Row upon row of buildings, densely packed around the central load-bearing column, evenly spread out in a radial ring.

Even though there have been many signs of decline, the several high-rise buildings located in its central area still show what a wealthy family smells like.

Next to the passage beside him is a huge logistics operation center.

Although the passages facing the bottom nest and the lower nest have long been blocked and out of service.

But purely from the scale of the building, this place is obviously worthy of handling the output of an entire Hive Industrial Zone.

Fortunately, the first-generation designer of Hive City left some professional ethics behind. After the initial connection, the entire station was placed horizontally and within the ring structure of the core area.

Otherwise, Karl will have to consider whether he needs it, and use the Abadan brand walking replacement device again.

Overall, the structural analogy of this station is more like the helical raised end of a conch in the upper nest ensemble.

Compared with this side, the internal transportation channel is depressed.

The other end of the station far away is more lively.

Of course, this kind of excitement is not abnormal, because it is the transit hub responsible for the transportation of passengers and freight between hive capitals.

Just looking at the transportation system inside the hive capital, it is only a small scale, and you can feel the prosperity here.

Of course, it was only in the past.

Now that the supplies are cut off and the manufacturing industry is dying, most of its functions have been lost here.

Perhaps the only reason it is still in operation is that the nobles at the upper level still need this place as a retreat.

Once the situation enters an irreparable rhythm, this will be the last passage for them to drag their families and escape to the royal hive group on Frank No. [-].

The determination of those nobles to run away need not be questioned.

The various treasures and precious artifacts being loaded into the car in front of Karl at this moment are silent evidence.

And from the broadcast announcement in the distance, Karl also confirmed again the disaster that happened in the B-23 Hive City next door.

"We are sorry to inform that due to the catastrophic collapse of the B-23 nest, and have not received any official reply so far, the B-23 nest has been transited, and finally arrived at the A-13 nest The trains in the capital are postponed indefinitely”

"We apologize for the impact caused by this, please orderly..."

Listening to the mechanical repeating sound on the radio, Carl understood most of the situation just now.

These nobles have long wanted to run away.

They may even have prepared the rhythm of prospering their families as early as the moment the Dark Night War broke out.

After all, their so-called loyalty to the royal family on Frank No. [-] is not to the extent that they are willing to defend every inch of land for them.

It's a pity that their plan to escape was interrupted because of the sudden disaster in the B-23 hive capital.

In fact, if there is no chance, Karl would still like to experience this kind of armed train that travels directly to the so-called surface from an altitude of several thousand meters along the prefabricated passage in the outer wall of the hive capital.

It's a pity that, driven by commercial interests, except for the trains to the royal hives, all other vehicles have fallen into an indefinite outage due to the shutdown of industrial machines.

Turning his eyes away from the anxiously waiting crowd, Karl knew that those were just ordinary servants.

The truly well-informed nobles don't need to do these trivial things by themselves.

Walking out of the slightly empty station, those magnificent buildings stretched out in front of Karl's eyes.

This is a truly magnificent complex of buildings that he has never seen before.

Perhaps Abbadan has long been accustomed to this, but it is indeed the first time for Karl to see these buildings of terrifying scale with his own eyes.

He didn't even have any doubts that any towering Gothic building could be regarded as a small ecologically closed kingdom by itself.

In fact, this speculation is not without basis.

Judging from the family logos on the top of which buildings, it is easy to see the three-super-multi-power family structure on the surface.

Blue Eagle Emblem - advocates military;

White coin - advocates the economy;

Red roses-advocate the tradition of noble blood;
It is these three basic tones that set the political tone of the entire B-13 hive.

"On the blue tile, the fourth pillar."

Following the prompt in the note in his hand, Carl walked around the outer edge of the station and finally found the location indicated on the note.

Here is the line led by the previous navigator, Gudwi Viva of the 40k Kapinus family.

After learning that Karl wanted to go to the nest, everyone actually offered him some possible help.

For example, when passing by the mechanical church in the lower nest, the sage Erika Leta 4 sent a "letter of appointment" from the mechanical order.

With this letter of appointment, Karl can freely mobilize any resources and contacts of the Mechanicus that he can see.

At least in this hive, even as long as he has a way to reach other hives, this "appointment letter" is also universal.

That was a letter of appointment from an official sage.

Although it is not as important as the appointments issued by the so-called casting generals and great sages, it is more than enough to mobilize these Mechanic Order branches on Frank III.

Of course, for Karl, this appointment letter is actually dispensable.

After all, with the blessing of the Mechanical Ceremony, he was born to stand at the end of the dreams of all seekers of knowledge.

It can be said that you can win numbness by lying down.

If it weren't for this being the dark side of the empire, maybe every position on Mars has already been taken by him.

Of course, then again, nothing can be solved by fantasy.

To make matters worse, although it has a relatively large name, as a purely service organization, the Mechanics on Frank III is more like a "maintenance service point" than a "strategic weapons production plant".

This has led to the fact that it may indeed have a relatively large right to speak, but that kind of right to speak is actually based on the huge Mechanicus cathars in the surrounding casting world.

Once caught in this isolated and helpless situation, it is hard to say how much of the prestige originally established by the deterrence of the Skitarii can remain.

Therefore, Karl's first choice to touch the fish's thigh was still set on the letter of introduction sent by Gudwi Viva.

It was a travel agency shop that looked ordinary on the surface.

The dust on the window made Carl wonder if he was in the right place.

But since everyone is here, let's knock on the door first.

"clang clang"

It was the metal knocker, knocking against the wooden door frame.

After a while, after a seemingly frantic tidying sound, the dusty wooden door on the window was finally pushed open from the inside.

"Hello, please show the invitation letter you received from the Ferdinand family."

That's hardly a friendly greeting.

Except that every word in it was read out in accordance with standard etiquette, Carl felt no half respect.

That is a kind of "disdain" revealed in the bones.

And the culprit of all this is Emily Eaton, who is looking at the two "fake nobles" in front of her with a straight face.

As a professional family butler-like maid, the reason why Emily can sit in this position naturally has her ability.

For example, she can truly "recite" most of the nobles on Frank III who have names and surnames and are connected with the Ferdinand family.

This is also a compulsory course for every servant in such an extremely important reception position.

Only in this way, she will not lose the chain at the critical moment.

But no matter how she looked at the two people in front of her, she couldn't recognize them.

Especially the big guy next to him.

Even if the nobles generally have different "aesthetics", the body shape hidden under the burqa is a little too scary. (in various senses)
She even wondered, could the person standing in the same row as the knocker be the bodyguard?
But if it's a bodyguard, Abadan's position is obviously too out of bounds.

At least in her perception, if she was a bodyguard for such unprofessional and impolite behavior, being fired directly might have been the best ending.

And another visitor who seemed to be of average stature was even more outrageous.

That suit was obviously rough in workmanship, but tried to imitate a kind of aristocratic style suit, which was so dazzling in her eyes.

That is an insult to the word "noble".

It's still difficult to deceive those rough people who can only fight and kill, but it is impossible to deceive Emily.

But according to the rules, since someone knocked on the door, she couldn't refuse.

That's why there was that sentence, obviously perfunctory and impatient to ask.

After all, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't think the two people in front of her could show invitation letters.

Most of them are "hillies" who came to ask for directions by mistake.

But in the next second, seeing the invitation letter Carl took out, Emily received a small shock of a million points.
