Chapter 798 Drinking Tea
"Father!?"
Robert noticed that the man in front of him had an aura that made him afraid.
Just like a field mouse seeing an owl, the hairs on his body stood up instinctively.
"Hello, His Majesty the Divine Emperor!" He bowed respectfully to Tang Song and said, "I believe you are also a member of the negotiation delegation. Imperial Governor Robert Kidman, it's an honor to meet you!"
Tang Song smiled softly, without any intention of returning the greeting. He smiled gently and said:
"You are too polite, Lord Regent. I feel lucky to meet you. Well, you should thank your father for giving you an opportunity.
Tang Song glanced at Robert and the people behind him, and sighed:
"I don't like trouble. I prefer to solve the problem with one stroke rather than sort out the mess.
Since the table is so messy that it's hard to clean up, why not just throw away all the bottles and jars on it? At worst, you can just buy new ones!"
Tang Song's eyes fell on Robert: "I have spent some effort to revive you, I believe you will not make it difficult for me.
Well, please don’t do anything to mess with me secretly, otherwise I will have a headache! "
Robert broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to know the origin of the man in front of him.
The man who restored the Martian hive to its original state might also be the man who made the Tyranids a thing of the past.
He is not from the Dark Council, he comes from the Heaven behind the Dark Council!
Tang Song did not stay for too long. He would leave this world tomorrow and return to Yamafu.
He had previously promised Selena that he would accompany her to the beach for a sunbath, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word.
All the high-ranking officials of the empire who were classified as "bottles and jars" were silent, not daring to breathe, until Tang Song took Selina away.
A heavy gasp was just heard in front of the Empire Tower Hotel.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have been fished out of the water, their clothes all soaked with sweat.
The incident in front of the Empire Tower did not affect the armistice negotiations.
Of course, rather than calling it a ceasefire negotiation, it would be more accurate to say that it was a notice given by Heaven to the high-ranking officials of the Human Empire before taking over the Human Empire.
Just like Japan after its surrender at the end of World War II, even the emperor who boasted of his eternal rule was like a toy in front of MacArthur and had no resistance at all.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
On the Human Empire side, the leader is naturally Robert Kidman, the Regent and Prime Minister, and those accompanying him are all core high-level officials of the Human Empire, all bigwigs who control the fate of the empire.
In front of the conference hall of the Imperial Tower, a large number of Grey Knights wearing grey power armor were already guarding the door.
These are regarded as taboos in the empire, and any mortal who has seen them will be killed. They are only placed here to perform patrol duties.
A dozen or so Emperor's Guards wearing golden power armor and bright red cloaks on their backs, holding power halberds in their hands, looked coldly at the dark legion guards opposite them who were full of murderous intent.
Opposite them, a dozen werewolf warriors wearing black tights and necklaces of wild beast fangs on their chests stared at the Emperor's Guards opposite them without showing any weakness.
In front of the door of the parliament hall, a dozen black-robed priests were surrounding dozens of Mechanicus monks, seemingly persuading them of something.
As soon as Robert Kidman appeared, a middle-aged scholar in a green robe came up to greet him:
"This must be Mr. Robert Kidman, right? I am Qin Cheng from Ziwei Palace's General Affairs Department. A lord wants to see you. Please follow me!"
Robert Kidman looked at the middle-aged scholar in front of him, frowned subconsciously, and glanced at the large open conference room.
"The meeting is about to start, and I can't leave!"
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just a small matter. Let the people below talk about it. The adults are waiting for you in the reception room. Don't keep them waiting for too long!"
Seeing Qin Cheng blocking Robert Kidman's way, the Grey Knights immediately surrounded him, and more than a dozen Emperor's Guards also turned their attention here.
Qin Cheng seemed not to notice these murderous Astartes, and just looked at Robert Kidman with a smile on his face.
Instead, the Dragon King's eyes flashed with a crazy cold light, and he showed an extremely cruel smile, blocking the Gray Knights.
Seeing the blood flashing in the eyes of the Demon Dragon King, he was about to attack.
Robert Kidman took a deep look at Qin Cheng and waved his hand to signal the Grey Knights to retreat: "Ziwei Palace General Affairs Department, you are from the Heavenly Palace!"
Qin Cheng smiled shyly: "I was promoted to a seventh-rank official in the General Affairs Department, and I'm just walking around in Ziwei Palace!"
With a loud noise, the Grey Knights obeyed the order and stepped aside following Robert Kidman's hand.
"Sir, please follow me!" Qin Cheng stretched out his arm, motioning Robert Kidman to follow him.
Robert Kidman said a few words to the Prime Minister of the Empire behind him, and then followed Qin Cheng to the reception room on the side.
Joan glanced at Robert Kidman's leaving back, sighed in her heart, and looked at the heavy conference room door in front of her.
He took the lead, replacing Robert Kidman's position, and led the team into the conference room, followed by a group of high-ranking officials of the Human Empire.
The Demon Dragon King glanced at the Gray Knights on both sides with his vertical pupils, snorted coldly, and stepped into the door of the conference room.
The conference hall, which is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people for meetings at the same time, already has quite a few people sitting there.
In addition to the members of the Dark Council, the chiefs and big bosses of various dark tribes, there were also several cardinals of the church and a smiling old man wearing a luxurious white robe embroidered with gold edges.
The old man looked kind, and his plump and amiable face was naturally friendly. When Qiao An and his group walked into the venue.
He was talking to an old man with a haggard face, smiling.
Joan knew the latter, he was the Pope of the Mechanicus, of course they preferred to call him the Chief Manufacturer.
In the conference room, the high-ranking officials of the Human Empire and the members of the Dark Council engaged in a heated discussion about the armistice meeting.
The Dark Council naturally wanted to gain some benefits before leaving. After all, since they were already here, it would be a wasted trip if they didn't bring back some local specialties.
But to be honest, the Human Empire is not a poor empire, but an empire that uses 80% of its entire production capacity on military industry, its degree of bias is no less than that of Russia after the Cold War.
Fortunately, the Dark Council is not picky. Without "money", they can accept weapons, ore, wood, and even population.
What made the imperial high-ranking officials feel outrageous was that an old man in a black robe, with a face as thin as a mummy, even said that they could accept the demons of the warp and the remnants of chaos as compensation.
compensation!
That’s right, it was clearly the Dark Council that invaded the human empire, but this group of aliens had the audacity to demand compensation from them.
Ever since the Imperial Space Marines set out from Holy Terra and began the Great Crusade, even when the Empire was in the most difficult times and on the verge of collapse, the Empire has never bowed to any civilization.
Now, at the negotiation table, these dark creatures are blatantly demanding compensation.
If it weren't for the powerful forces behind these dark creatures, the top brass of the empire would have walked away long ago.
Fortunately, Pope Hyde presided over the meeting and mediated, which allowed the negotiations to continue.
Pope Hyde smiled as he watched the people of the Dark Council arguing with the top leaders of the Human Empire, but his mind was no longer here.
With a smile on his face, he started a series of discussions with the Chief Maker of the Mechanicus beside him on the doctrines and cooperation between the two sides.
The Chief Maker looked at Pope Hyde in front of him calmly:
"My Lord, I understand what you mean. You want to incorporate our Mechanicus into your Church. But if I may be frank, what we believe in is not the God of All Machines, but knowledge!"
The Mechanicus holds a very special position in the Imperium. They recognize the Emperor as the leader of the Imperium of Man.
But they do not believe in the Imperial Church, they have their own religious doctrines. The Mechanicus believes that knowledge is a manifestation of the sacred, and all creatures or artifacts that possess knowledge are therefore sacred.
The Emperor is worshipped because he possesses so much knowledge.
The Mechanicus also believes that there is a "machine soul" in all machines. Because of the existence of the machine soul, the machine can be used.
The extremely formulaic words slowly came out of the chief maker's mouth:
"The purpose of your church is to preach in this world. No problem. We can make way for you. We can even fully support you.
But we demand to retain some autonomy!"
After witnessing the power of the disappearance of the Tyranids, the Mechanicus knew that they were no match for this force from outside the world.
Therefore, before coming here, the Master Fabricator had negotiated with several great sages and high-ranking members of the Mechanicus, striving to preserve the autonomy of the Mechanicus.
Hyde looked at the chief manufacturer with a smile. He looked more like a taciturn scientific research geek than the Pope.
“In fact, we are not interested in any power of the Mechanicus, nor are we interested in dismantling you. After all, the Mechanicus will be included in the gods of the Heavenly Court in the future!
However, nominally, the Mechanicus must be incorporated into the Church. This is not an option. I allow you to keep your doctrines, including the God of All Machines that you believe in, but in your churches, the statue of His Majesty the Emperor must be placed in the center!"
The chief maker stared at Hyde and said, "That's all. Add the statue of the Emperor of Heaven to the church!"
"You should add a respectful title!" Hyde said sincerely, "Believe me, this will be the best choice in your life."
He shrugged his shoulders gently - this action was something he learned from Tang Song hundreds of years ago, and it gradually became a habit.
Pope Hyde smiled faintly and said, "In fact, compared to occupying your universe, we have paid more!"
Seeing the disbelief on the face of the Chief Maker, Pope Hyde glanced at the people arguing in the meeting hall and shook his head:
"What do you think is so attractive about this universe? When I came here, I learned about this world. There are endless wars, and the flames of war are spread across almost every planet.
This broken place is even more chaotic than the Abyss World. In fact, since the establishment of Heaven, there has not been a bloody battle in the Abyss for more than 200 years, and those demons have become much more obedient! "
Pope Hyde clicked his tongue, seeming to realize that he had said too much.
"You, the Mechanicus, like scientific knowledge. Of the more than 300 worlds the church has preached, two-thirds are technological worlds, including some of the most advanced technological universes. I think you should be interested."
Hearing Pope Hyde's words, the Chief Maker's eyes lit up and he stared at Pope Hyde blankly: "Can you teach us this knowledge?"
Pope Hyde smiled very gently: "Of course, as long as we are one of our own!"
Hyde smiled and said very seriously: "Heaven is an extremely fair place. Knowledge is wealth, but as long as you create value, His Majesty the Emperor will not be stingy!"
The Chief Maker immediately regained his spirits. He looked at Pope Hyde eagerly and asked anxiously:
“So how do we create value?”
Pope Hyde said: “Whether it is the Holy See or the Heavenly Court, there is a set of evaluation systems!
Now there is an opportunity, and from today on, I will be fully responsible for the work of this parish.
I hope that you, the Mechanicus, will unconditionally cooperate with the Holy See in all its affairs in this world. Of course, we will provide all the daily expenses and daily maintenance."
The chief manufacturer smiled bitterly and said:
"No problem, but let me make it clear in advance that we don't have many followers of the Mechanicus in the Empire.
We mainly manufacture weapons for the Imperial Army and train tech priests to repair equipment with the legions."
Hyde looked at the Chief Maker's serious eyes in surprise for a long time, then nodded and said:
"Don't worry about that. I will mobilize a group of priests from the other two parishes. They are enough to support the daily work of the church!"
Swallowing his saliva dryly, the Chief Maker smiled bitterly and said:
"One more thing, what should we do with the statue of the God-Emperor inside the church?"
Pope Hyde gave him a strange look and said, "Don't you know that your emperor has also entered the Heavenly Court and is now a third-rank Doubu Star Lord in the Heavenly Court!"
Robert Kidman followed Qin Cheng to a VIP reception room. Qin Cheng pushed open the door of the reception room and stopped.
Robert Kidman glanced at Qin Cheng and walked straight in.
The reception room was not big, and he saw at a glance several people sitting around a tea table, drinking tea and chatting.
Robert Kidman is not very interested in this ancient oriental tea. In comparison, he prefers to taste black tea with sugar.
But when he stepped into the door of the reception room, a clear and strange fragrance hit his nose.
Just by smelling this fragrance, his whole body and mind felt relaxed, and even the hidden injuries in his body that were originally aching seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Robert Kidman looked at the few people, and when he saw the tall figure among them, he was stunned.
The man holding a teacup in his hand, seemingly in a trance, thinking about something, was none other than his missing father.
Ryan lowered his head to make tea. He seemed to notice Robert Kidman's arrival and waved to him:
"You came at the right time. I just grabbed some fairy tea from the boss. Come, try the taste!"
Robert Kidman walked to the emperor in a daze and sat down next to him, and Ryan enthusiastically put a cup in his hand.
He didn't know what the magic tea was. After looking at the emperor, he took a sip of the light green tea.
As soon as you take a sip of tea, a silky smooth, cool and refreshing feeling like the bright dew in late autumn immediately flows through your mouth and into your throat.
And as he drank the tea, he felt his whole body warm, as if every cell in his body was immersed in the hot spring.
If it weren't for his amazing willpower, he would have almost groaned because of a sip of tea.
“How does it taste?
I got this from my boss, hehe, but you are still a little weak, don’t drink too much of this kind of tea that replenishes your vitality!"
Adam glanced at Robert Kidman, showing off with some pride.
Ryan glared at him with a straight face and said, "Drink your tea well, and hurry up and find those two green-skinned orcs!"
"Got it! Second brother, I'm practicing Kui Niu Transformation, but you can't really treat me like an ox or a horse and not even give me time to drink tea!
I brought this tea!"
Adam muttered to himself, picked up the cup and drank it all up.
Ryan looked at him helplessly, then picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
Adam chuckled and started drinking.
