Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 206 Negotiation with Ahriman

Walking in the center of the magnificent pyramid-shaped library building, Carl once again felt a sense of insignificance.

Even at this moment, he has a height of more than 2 meters, but in front of these buildings whose specifications are exaggerated to horror, he is still less than even 0.1% of the overall height
Behind it is the pyramid belonging to the Fire Phoenix School, and it can be clearly seen that on the surface of the golden red outer wall, there are many engravings of phoenixes that resemble sky eagles spreading their wings.

That is the symbol of the Fire Phoenix School. The flaring flame wings and the high crested head all represent their fighting style.

And the pyramid in the distance, belonging to the Black Crow School, still didn't show such oppressive power even if it was a full circle larger in size.

But in fact, this is also in line with the style of the Black Crow School.

Members of the Crow School are seers and diviners.

Peeking into the future, strategic layout, and detailed guidance are all their jobs.

And the person Karl is going to meet on this trip is Azek Ahriman, the core figure of the Crow School.

Out of politeness and face considerations, after obtaining Karl's consent, Carlofis, who led the way, took him to change into a Terminator power armor before leaving the Pyramid Library belonging to the Fire Phoenix School.

But unlike those ordinary power armors, this set of armor is equipped with some decorative parts that have nothing to do with combat.

But it is also these decorative pieces that cover up the commemorative scars that the original owner did not want to repair for this already scarred power armor.

Although I don't know what kind of battles the original owner of this body, that is, the existence called Carl Price, has experienced, but the scars on these armors have silently told all this.

=This world is not beautiful=
=Desperation and helplessness are its essential tone=
Those are two lines of small characters engraved on the inside of the helmet by Carl Price.

It's a pity that now, Karl may never know the mood of the person who carved these two lines of small characters.

The only information that can be read from it is that "Carl Price" obviously knows a lot more than Carl does not.

What is the connection between the title "Final Yan" and the "6th-order Final Form" that the emperor gave him before?
The truth of everything has obviously been buried in the noise interference by Tzeentch.

Shaking his head, he rearranged the thoughts in his head.

After all, he had come to the foot of the magnificent pyramid-shaped library of the Black Crow School at this moment.

A scaled crow's claw is the best symbol of this school.

As if to grasp that nihilistic future, this symbol well demonstrates the essence of the Crow School.

And as if the arrival of Karl and Carlofis had been foreseen, a red can that was a circle bigger than Karl was already waiting at the entrance of the pyramid.

But apart from the standard red armor and the specially made exquisite bolt pistol, Karl saw other things in his eyes.

It was a golden eye, and around it swirled components he didn't know how.

It seemed to be an eye that could penetrate everything, and at the moment that eye was staring at Karl.

It's a bad feeling, and it's not good for Carl or the guardian spirit named Aaetpio.

While feeling embarrassed to be stared at all the time, at the same time, I feel very puzzled because I can't see through the threads of fate.

Fortunately, this embarrassment did not affect the friendly greetings between Ahriman and Carlofis.

After a long distance, Carlofis greeted Ahriman in the distance, "Hey, I knew you would be waiting here, and you can predict everything accurately every time."

"Each of us has our strengths, and that's not something to be admired."

Even though he couldn't see Ahriman's expression at the moment through the helmet, Karl could feel a strong sense of magic in him from his formulaic answer.

Of course, this is actually okay, after all, the prophets who can see the future basically have this style of painting.

They never give a definite future, but can only guess the trajectory of fate from the few words they see every time.

There is quite a sense of "seeing a leopard in a tube" here.

In comparison, Karl's Abyss of Wisdom is simply the existence of beating all prophets.

Coincidentally, the surface of this magnificent building in front of me seems to have done some kind of treatment to isolate spiritual energy.

Although it has not reached the level of the Blackstone Matrix, it is enough if it only slightly interferes with the spiritual perception of Magnus in the distance.

But just when Carlofis thought that sending Karl to him would be the end of the matter, Ahriman asked a question that puzzled him.

"What did you bring him for?"

This can't be done by Carlofis, after all, Ahriman still has a little bit of how strong his predictive ability is.

Getting him to ask this question on his own initiative meant that Ahriman couldn't see through Karl's intentions.

This is very abnormal. Normally, only Magnus can make Ahriman ask this question.

After all, the fate of the Primarch is not something that a company commander can spy on.

Not even Ahriman, who specializes in predictive psionic spells.

The precognitive models that even helped transport ships avoid incoming shells simply couldn't fit into the Primarch's magnificent psionic models.

If this is done forcibly, the distortion of flesh and blood will be the "price of ignorance" that the caster is most likely to pay.

But after thinking about it, Carlofis was relieved.

It doesn't seem strange that a person who can achieve 100% body stability has an incomprehensible fate?
He didn't explain too much. After all, as a company commander of the academy, Carlofis still has many other things to do at this juncture of preparations.

He simply raised his right arm, and brought a meter showing 100% to Ahriman.

"This is the result of his test. I have gone to that machine to compound several times."

At this moment, although Karl couldn't see Ahriman's expression under the helmet through the heavy helmet, Karl could roughly feel his shock at the moment from the inexplicable twitch on his body.

Fortunately, Ahriman, who is full of buffs, has seen some of the market.

Soon he was relieved from the news of 100% fit, but it was a pity that those sharp eyes hidden behind the armor still couldn't see through Karl's fate.

Reluctantly, Ahriman could only ask Karofis for the experimental records.

This is very strange, after all, he can escape the existence of the predictive psionic spell blessed by his guardian spirit Aaetpio, besides the Primarch, there is one more person at this moment.

"Give me the record of the experiment."

Helpless, he could only ask Carlofis for the experimental records.

But the experimental records handed over by Carlofis made his frown deepen.

The previous data showed that Carl Price's body stability reached 86% according to the fitting curve, which is considered to be a super level performance.

This is also the best level that the Fire Phoenix School can generally achieve.

This mechanism is not yet perfect, and there is still room for improvement.

Unfortunately, all the Thousand Sons have run out of time.

Although the Primarch never personally admitted what the so-called "7-day trial" was hastily executed for.

But as the Primarch's confidant, Ahriman still saw that horrible result in the vague future.

This plunged him into endless torment.

Ever since losing that narrator, everything around him has changed rapidly.

This made the knowledgeable him a little at a loss, because he found that the more he knew, the more painful he would be.

=When the Cyclops and the Warmaster met again, a terrifying aura that could corrupt the entire legion instantly overwhelmed the giant's will=
= Ahriman can feel that he is still struggling, but it seems too late now =
The ceremony that attempted to save the brother ended in complete failure.

He knew very well that the being sitting at the top of the pyramid library at this moment was not the Magnus he knew.

It was also from that moment that the Primarch "imprisoned" the entire crew of the Endeavor.

=If all the splendid wonders of the world are mere blurred phantasms, then what is the meaning of such a life trapped in shadows=
It was a bullet casing that Ahriman picked up by chance.

This reminded him of what Magnus taught him once.

And on the entire Prospero, the only people who could have fired these shell casings were those people.

Perhaps this was a "mistake" in charge of finishing minions.

However, several eggshells were found one after another, which completely overturned Ahriman's cognition.

Prospero's coordinates were engraved on the first bullet.

Kaya's mission was engraved on the second bullet.

On the third bullet, a sentence used to prove Kaya's identity was engraved.

On the fourth bullet, engraved with the tragic ending that should have happened
= If things really come to that point, please temporarily put aside all honor and retreat in advance. =
= The four gods blinded the eyes of the bloodthirsty wolves, it is not cowardly to retreat temporarily, please remember, at least before you actually betrayed, the emperor did not think you were a traitor. =
And it was knowing all this that Ahriman felt endless pain.

Apparently the "call" afterwards was made on purpose.

That is the blackened version of Magnus, who made a decision after knowing everything and analyzing it rationally.

This is not a kind of innocence, or it is a choice made by the blackened version of Magnus after being corrupted by the huge "price" on the Devon satellite, with his own will.

Of course, this does not mean that Magnus is completely hopeless.

Ahriman knew very well that the bullet casings were deliberately left for him by Magnus.

He gave his sons a chance.

A chance to completely get rid of the deformity of flesh and blood, a chance to choose whether to continue to follow him by will.

This is the real reason for hastily carrying out the "all 7-day trial".

But obviously this last trace of kindness brought Ahriman great pain.

He would rather not know all this, and never go through the 7-day trial that almost made him "spiritually dead".

In this hell called Prospero, sobriety is also a curse.

And Ahriman would be responsible for leading those Thousand Sons who, by their own will, chose to be loyal to the Emperor to the end, to find another way.

This is the last mercy of the blackened version of Magnus.

Even in the midst of the most horrific corruptions, he has not lost sight of the original purpose of his thirst for knowledge.

Thinking of this, Ahriman had inadvertently brought Karl to the living room deep in the library.

Taking off the helmet on his head, Ahriman looked at the member of the Fire Phoenix School named Karl Price in front of him.

This is a veteran - this is Ahriman's first impression of Karl.

But other than that, he couldn't see anything.

As if shrouded in fog, all prying eyes of fate were blocked by an invisible giant hand.

Rootless Man - has neither past nor future, and he is about to "die" because of this absence.

This is the only evaluation Ahriman can make.

And for this result, he was a little angry.

Because in his opinion, the person in front of him is definitely not Carl Price.

This kind of deception and exchange made him feel extremely angry.

In fact, his ideas are essentially the same as those of Magnus.

They just want to save as many of their brothers as possible.

Obviously, this behavior of switching packages has touched his bottom line.

"who are you?"

That was a question from Ahriman.

And hearing that Karl is not going around in circles, after all, a smart person of the level of a think tank curator, it is often better to have a meeting with his words.

If you want to think carefully, it is very likely to be self-defeating.

And after confirming that there is an excellent "spiritual airtightness" here, I looked at the power of hope as high as 16.5W on the book.

Coupled with this body, it is not inferior to Ahriman's Astartes body.

Carl was pretty sure that even if the conversation fell through in the end, he would have a million ways to escape.

"I am the Emperor's emissary."

Straight to the point and without concealment, this is the advantage of having absolute strength to crush.

The skills provided by the four gods, even if they are only blessed on an ordinary mortal body, can give Karl a boost to his previous explosive strength.

And put it on such an Astartes body, which is full of violent aesthetics, the final effect it can obtain is by no means as simple as 1+1.

In other words, single out the first echelon below the original body.

Therefore, after confirming that there were no other peeping sights in the room, Karl directly chose the simplest way of playing cards.

Efficiency is life.

And Ahriman, who was planning to take people home, naturally had no room to refuse after receiving the "recruitment invitation" from Karl.

This is simply sending charcoal in a timely manner.

In fact, Karl's arrival helped Ahriman solve one of his biggest problems—the identity problem after fleeing.

If the great rebellion succeeds, it will be easy to say.

Their identities are not just a matter of Magnus' words.

But if the rebellion fails, Ahriman and his party will obviously not be spared in the subsequent liquidation.

As for Ahriman, who continued to follow the loyalist route with a group of veterans of Thai origin, the biggest problem was that no one could prove their identities.

You can't say that you are loyal, and others will believe your nonsense.

Therefore, in fact, Ahriman planned to take all the Thousand Sons who passed the trial to wander.

At least that way, they won't die in vain at the hands of their "own people".

But it's different now.

The self-proclaimed Emperor's Messenger, Carl, brought them a whole new path.
