Warhammer Inquisitor

"I have no interest in those bad prostitutes, Vito, I have no interest in anything out there."

Victor raised his head and looked at Vito, who was standing on a huge stone monument. He stood there and jumped behind him with the flashing electric light. The light instantly reflected his silhouette from the darkness. It overlooks Victor below.

"Comoros is a city of indulgence, but their leaders seem to have no interest in all that carnival, so what would the Dark Lord of Comoros be interested in?"

"Intrigue and guile, like the way a hunter feels when he's aiming his prey in the dark, just like the guile you brought me."

Victor looked up at Vito above with a sneer, and the latter shrugged and jumped off it. He fell to the ground at once, and the thunder that jumped over his head once again illuminated his face. The two looked at each other under the lightning, and then in the dark fog after the lightning disappeared, Vito walked to a boulder in front of him, leaned on it, and his figure became distorted again.

"There are rumors that you are dead and lost forever after falling into the netway with Magnus."

"Then do you believe it?"

"Believe? No, I know you will come back, and there is a high probability that you will come back to me, but I didn't expect that we would meet in this way.

"

"Which way?"

Victor looked at the silhouette in the shadow, he laughed coldly, and stood at the other end of the fog looking at the silhouette of the lake, just like all the strange shadows around him.

"You came alone? I thought you would bring his sons, or at least some of Marles's."

"Whose son?" Vito leaned against the huge shadow, and the voice came from the other side of the fog, like an ethereal hallucination, just like the humanoid shadow of the lake.

"The sons of Chaktai Khan, that kid on the steppe, blew up three of my transport ships, six warehouses and one base within the last month. I thought you would take him with you. stand up."

"What are we doing together?" Vito said in the fog, leaning there, looking at Victor on the other side, who snorted softly and raised his eyes to spy on the shadows over there.

"kill me."

"My friend, you approached Stull and stole my relic from the chaos, are you just here to chat with me? I know you've seen Marles, and I know, she I've told you about that little conspiracy."

Victor said, patted the pistol on his waist with his finger, "If you want to kill me, you'd better take that kid with you, he can cause me trouble for ten thousand years because of this, Don't let him be busy for a while."

Vito knew that Khan had caused a lot of trouble in the network, and using trouble to describe it was not enough. Over the years, Vito could always hear about the kid from everywhere, and there were always all kinds of rumors. Rumors say that the bases and camps have no news overnight, and all the people in them seem to have evaporated from the world, and all the teams that went to investigate are gone.

A fog of shadows haunts the network, bringing fear and death, and those survivors who were deliberately put back to convey all the fear that happened there will always repeat that tall figure over and over again, and The gleaming curved saber.

Vito's shadow rested on the boulder, and he stood there with a slight shrug, "I want to find him too, but if the Khan doesn't want him to be found, then no one can, even to find that he has been there. traces here."

That kid was a master of guerrilla warfare. Maybe it's not enough to describe it as a master. When the Horus Heresy began, the Khan was deliberately transferred to the far frontier and could not return to defend Terra in time. When the Khan killed the Legion After an internal pro-Horus rebellion, he was determined to punish those traitors.

A guerrilla war began, a vast cosmic guerrilla war, the White Scar Legion attacked everywhere, and elusively destroyed Horus' countless supply lines, bases and key camps, but the traitors couldn't even catch the White Scar's shadow, they just Like a group of invisible shadows, appearing and disappearing everywhere.

Out of all of them, I'm afraid only Kurz and the Night Lords can stand up to the Khan's guerrilla warfare, but that Batboy isn't here, he's somewhere else, so yes, Vito can't be found without his help Khan, he can only hear those rumors, true or false, for thousands of years, looking for the smoke of nothingness.

"I don't know where the kid is. If you know, I'd really like you to tell me, it will save you a lot of trouble." Vito said with a smile, and the person across from him sneered.

"If I had known, he was dead long ago, I would have brought enough people to kill him and put an end to the destruction of the thousand years, but I guess, you would stop me, you would save the child right ?"

"Probably yes." "So you see, one more reason why you should kill me, Vito."

The two talked out of thin air through the smoke, but suddenly Vito stood up. He stood up from the boulder and walked towards Victor. The latter looked at the shadow approaching in the smoke and slid his hand gently behind him. He held some kind of hilt under the windbreaker, some kind of silver slender blade.

Victor looked at Vito, he walked up and walked out of the smoke, and came to the front so that Victor could clearly see the face, the two looked at each other, and then Vito took out the little boy from his arms. 's box.

He shook his hand in the air and held the box in his hand, Victor looked at the box and then turned his eyes to Vito, "I'm not here to kill you, at least not now, but someone is going to kill you. You, and there are quite a few."

Victor raised his head and squinted slightly, looking at the smile of the man in front of him, "Right? You just took that box and came here to chat with me? You can call me or send an email if you want."

"First, I don't have your number, second, you don't use human calls or emails, and second, I heard that after the chaos in Comoros last time, the situation here is a bit out of control."

"It's true. After the riot you caused in the Comoros last time, my power was greatly weakened, so many people in the Comoros began to move. You broke the balance of the millennium."

"Indeed, and I heard that you are very angry, for this little girl, Yin Fu Lei Ni has put down a huge bounty, it seems that I have it too, and it is more than Yin Fu Lei Ni, so I want to surrender to get the money. ." Vito smiled jokingly, holding his arms in his arms, a playful smile on his face.

"Take it as a compliment, and besides, the bounty is meaningless, it's just to show an attitude, after all, you and that girl are in front of everyone, causing me a lot of trouble, if I miss you If it falls, it will make me look weak."

"Then are you ready for that bounty? Are you expecting someone to claim it?"

"From the warp, to the netways, and all over the galaxy, there are bounties for your head everywhere, especially Khorne, I've heard the bounty is terrifyingly high, enough for everyone in the warp, Even the subordinates of the other three evil gods will be very interested."

Victor jokingly said, his hand retracted from under the windbreaker hanging on his side, "But so far, including me, no one has successfully sent the bounty out, so I didn't pay much attention to it. to that bounty."

Vito also smiled playfully. He shrugged and saw the hilt of the knife that Victor was holding at the back of his waist. He recognized it at a glance as the old enemy blade, which stabbed Horus back then and caused the war. Shuai fell into the hands of Chaos and set off a rebellion, and later Fulgrim used it to nearly kill Guilliman, paralyzing a weapon that only woke up a while ago [-] years ago.

Vito smiled and raised his eyes to meet Victor, then glanced behind Victor, "No one wants to try it? For example, try with some special weapons?"

Victor, who was in front of him, turned his head and glanced behind him, it seemed that Vito recognized the weapon, but it didn't matter, they both knew it, so Victor said in a rather casual tone, " You are not an immobile target, my friend, it is not easy to kill you, in fact it is almost insane, so the sensible old people will shy away, and the young people who are not conscious .and you'll make them understand."

"But if the situation forces it, then it's not that the crazy move will not be tried." Victor said, clenching the handle of the knife, and his words sounded simultaneously with the hissing blade.

Vito snorted softly, and he walked in front of Victor, walking back and forth in the smoke, "Don't worry, you won't use that thing today, but in the future, you might be, in, On another bounty."

"It doesn't matter how Infreni was once, but now he is an ally of the empire. She leads the Death Army and the Ark Eldar Council to ally with the empire, and it is obvious that living allies are useful."

"Although that girl is now the incarnation of the god of death, and ordinary weapons can't kill her, she is just a reckless young man after all. A few hundred-year-old girl doesn't know much about this, especially some from her employer. Assassin with a dangerous weapon."

Vito said and glanced at Victor, he very directly hinted at the knife behind him and his generous bounty for Infreni. Sometimes, the owner of the bounty doesn't mind helping those who want to get the bounty. people, and provide them with a little help.

Victor glanced at the direction behind him out of the corner of his eye, then raised his eyes to look at Vito in front of him, his fingers lightly clenched the end of the blade, and faced Vito with a smile, "So, what's your suggestion? What? My friend."

The latter of course could see that Victor's smile was insincere, but Vito didn't mind, after all, he robbed his things, made a mess of his subordinates, and fought against Marles, who was definitely going to rebel. They met privately, so Victor did have plenty of reasons to doubt himself.

Facing Victor's cold and insincere smile, Vito returned his signature smile, "I met Marles, although I did guess at the beginning. Where was she, but it was a coincidence that we met on that boat and an agreement was made."

"What kind of agreement?"

"Simple, I have a ship and a ship of people who need to find a network channel to leave here and go back to the physical universe. I guess the Empire must be messed up now, so I have to go back as soon as possible, by the way to Guilliman, and Surprise everyone."

"Males found me a network channel, and by coincidence, that place happens to be the place where you are going to hold the consul body meeting in a while, and Malus agreed to let her people secretly open it for me. A hole where my boat will go in and jump out through the netway there."

"Males will not help people in vain, even you are the same, he is a shrewd woman, she must have one condition if she is willing to help you, a person who is worthy of letting her collude with human beings in front of everyone like this. dangerous move.”

"Indeed, the conditions she gave me were quite exciting, where would my ship enter the netway, and before that I would saturate the entire temple with orbital bombardment to make sure no one in it knew what was out there that day It flew over, and where did it fly, of course, Marcus wasn't on the list."

Vito said with a smile, and Victor in front of him showed a sneer, his hand still on the sword behind him, and a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Like what she would do, use a knife to kill people, thereby destroying the entire Comorian elite, except herself, and then take advantage of the chaos in Comoros."

Victor smiled coldly, turned his eyes and looked at Vito in front of him, "And you, Marshal Vito, you are the borrowed knife."

"Haha, it's very similar to what we did back then, right? A cruiser with a salamander is tied up, and then the cabal opens a network so that the signal for help can be transmitted, and then let the salamanders who receive the signal come to the rescue. The main fleet entered the Comoros and used their hands to bring down the entire Comorian aristocracy."

Vito smiled jokingly and put his hands on his waist, "She obviously learned well, she has learned some of my essence, but only a few. The old master always hides some craftsmanship."

"You mean, after reaching an agreement with Malus, he robbed me openly, and then I told me the whole plan after I brought it in? Although it was indeed a pleasant surprise."

"Yes, I think so too, I guess you're going to ask me if I'm going to betray Marcus, right?" "Since you've seen it, I'm too lazy to ask."

Vito took two steps to the side with a burst of laughter, he tossed the small box in his hand, threw it high and caught it, "I will do something for her, but I promise her The purpose is to completely destroy the body of the person inside you, not even an inch of meat will be left, so that the Haemophiles will not be able to resurrect you."

"However, what I promise is to destroy the body, not the soul." Vito opened the box with a smile, threw the contents upward, caught it, turned around and threw it to Victor , the latter stretched out his hand to catch the flying thing at once, and opened his palm to look at the two symmetrical fragments lying in it.

It was two halves of shining crystals, each forming a curved water drop shape, and when the two were put together in the palm of the hand, it would become a Tai Chi shape.

"Yin Sha's tears, it is said that this tear is different from all the soul stones. It is not rumored to be Yin Sha's tears as in the legend, but it is Yin Sha's own tears."

Vito said sideways not far away, he raised his head and looked up at the dark night sky above his head, there was not a single star on it, it was dead black, "This tear is said to have been dropped by Yin Sha during the Great Fall. The sad tear she shed before Nurgle was taken into the garden contained some of the power of Yinsha herself."

"This makes these two crystals very different. Compared with other soul stones, its biggest feature is that the two halves are connected, and the holder only needs to hold any of them. No matter how they die, their souls will remain intact. All will be inhaled by the crystal, and then instantly teleported to the other half of the crystal, and there is no distance limit, and it can be transmitted across the entire galaxy."

Vito said, pointing to the two crystals in Vitek's hand, "And it can't be intercepted or blocked, even if Slaanesh himself makes a shot, he can't catch the soul in it. Good thing, it's well worth the effort you put in to find it, and if you want, you can even go to Slaanesh with the crystal, give her the middle finger, and walk away."

Victor raised his head, looked at Vito who was smiling in front of him, and showed a joking smile, "Go on, I'm listening."

"You already know what I'm thinking, don't you? With this crystal, you can teleport your soul out to a safe place when I kill everyone on the scene, and then transfer it into your bunch of cloned bodies Resurrect, then reappear, surprise everyone."

Vito smiled and said as he walked back to Victor, "When the outer defending fleet finds out that you have all been killed, the news will spread throughout Comoros like wildfire. If you're pregnant, guys with hidden evil intentions will swarm up and start fighting for the power that comes out of the Comoros vacuum."

"When you are resurrected, you can spread the news that you are not dead, and ask everyone to put down their weapons and return to their respective positions. At that time, it will be clear who will obey and who will betray, and then you can He emerged from the shadows, led an orderly black-hearted conspiracy, swept away those traitors who were leaderless and fought on their own, and cleaned the Comoros all at once."

Victor looked at Vito who walked in front of him, the latter looked at him with a smile on his face, Victor raised his head slightly when he looked at him, "You wouldn't help us for nothing because of our friendship. My, what are your conditions?"

"It's very simple, and it doesn't cost you anything. I want you to guarantee that Yin Fulei, who is on the wanted list with me, will become a blank bounty that will never be claimed by anyone like me."

Vito said, pointing to the sword behind Victor's waist. The latter glanced at the thing and turned to look at Vito in front of him, "Is that so? That's all?"

"That's all," he said with a smile that seemed genuine, to the point of absurdity, especially here, near the Comoros.

"Your sincerity is valuable, my friend, but there is another question." "You don't like this plan?" "No, in fact, we both wanted to go together. I planned to do the same, but I recruited it. People will just pass through my defense zone, this plan is very perfect, there is no problem, the problem is the opportunity."

"Opportunity?"

"Yes, my friend, opportunity, why do you want to help me? You have already taken Yinsha's tears, without this thing, you can follow the agreement with Malus and take me and others Wouldn't it be better for you to kill them all together, and then make Marles, your old lover, the new queen of Comoros?"

Hearing Victor's words, Vito laughed in a low voice. He folded his hands on his chest and looked directly into each other's eyes with Victor without hesitation, so that the other side could see all the thoughts in his eyes.

"Victor, do you remember the agreement we made? Under the arena, when you and I were still together as slaves to entertain those nobles."

"Of course, how could I forget? You promised to help me overthrow the aristocratic rule of Comoros and bring me to power, but on the condition that I must control all kinds of looters in Comoros, as well as pirates, conspiracies, etc., control The extent and intensity of their plundering of the physical universe."

This is an agreement that Vito and Victor reached a long time ago. At that time, the dark Eldar were under the control of the noble council. Those arrogant old nobles of the Eldar Empire had no restraint at all, in order to fill their With unlimited material and pleasure, they sent their troops to plunder the entire empire.

The population of the entire galaxy was slaughtered and plundered, and the materials were looted. Because of the existence of the network, the noble troops of the Dark Eldar can appear anywhere they want, loot the local area, and rush before the arrival of the imperial reinforcements. Evacuate, repeat the cycle.

As for humans, today’s humans simply do not have the technology to destroy the network, so they have no defense against this series of raids by the Eldar, they can only passively be beaten, and pray that the “lucky planet” that was randomly selected is not where they are. of.

Vito also knew that he could not completely eliminate this plundering threat once and for all, all he could do was to control its scope and degree to a minimum, so Vito helped Victor, and he reached an agreement with this future Dark Lord. , he helped Victor to come to power, and the latter needed to control the plundering range of the remaining dark Eldar races on the empire to avoid the kind of unscrupulous attacks before. ,

Yes, in other words, Vito chose to compromise. By sacrificing some people, he took the initiative to hand them over to the Dark Eldar to be inevitably plundered, and then in exchange for the Dark Eldar not attacking more people and sacrificing small Me, save the self, it was cruel, but it was the only way at the time.

"That's why, in the Comoros today, only you can hold down those guys. Although Malus is also very cunning, smart and good at power, she is only good at operating everything in the shadows, and It doesn't hold those guys down at all."

"Might, strength, and decisiveness in killing are the methods to rule Comoros. No power can replace the absolute deterrence of power, and among them, only you can do it."

Vito said standing in front of Victor, looking directly into each other's eyes, "I need someone who can continue to fulfill the agreement, M42K has just begun, in this new millennium, I think I will need an ally, a ,friend."

When Witt said the last two words, he deliberately listed them separately. He stretched out a hand, and Victor, who was in front of him, also looked at the hand and raised his eyes to meet Vito.

"How's it going? New millennium, join the team?" Vito said with a smile. Victor in front of him showed that smile for the first time. It could be called a sincere smile. He stretched out a smile. One hand was clasped with Vito.

"Of course, my old friend, you watch over the human beings, and I watch over the Spirit Race. We have been together for thousands of years, and this one, of course, is no exception."

The two smiled and held each other's hands, and Vito looked at Victor with a smile on his face, "How do you say that old saying? There are two brothers in the galaxy, one in the physical universe, and one in the network. There is one too."

"Two races, human and Eldar, two brothers, human and Eldar." Victor continued, holding each other's hands and looking at each other in the ancient stone formation, as if It is the same as what a pair of twin brothers said. Humans and Eldar have gone through tens of thousands of years of civilization in calculating and dealing with each other, loving and killing each other. It seems that they are really a pair of twin brothers.
