Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 172 The Holy Word

As the saying goes, water flows to the enemy, and people go to high places.

But obviously, the former is much easier than the latter.

Even in the Abadan land tank, it took Karl almost a whole day to get back to the dark hole where he first threw the signal baton.

When the two finally climbed up to the bottom nest along the abandoned shaft with the help of the raised rusted support poles on both sides, Karl's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

He is not a superman, at least without the power of rage, he is only a mortal above the middle level.

At the beginning, he felt that sitting behind Abadan and experiencing the "Warmaster Mount" was very fulfilling.

But this novelty was quickly diluted by all kinds of crazy bumps and the endless darkness around.

It is said to be looking at the scenery, but it is dark to see a hammer.

Fortunately, this dark journey is finally over.

The moment he reached the "ground", it seemed that the equipment on Carl's back was connected to a newly formed network.

All kinds of prompt information were transmitted like snowflakes through the high-power communication equipment installed there.

But listening to the buzzing reminder in the bag, Karl did not immediately start "handling government affairs" as Abbadan expected.

On the contrary, after casually photographing a button on the side of a certain machine, the surrounding became quiet again.

"Don't you really want to read those news?"

Regarding Carl's behavior, Aba Dan always felt a little weird.

After all, Karl sat on the iron shelf behind him the whole time, and he was idle anyway, so he should at least read the news, right?

"This is the Emperor's will."

Carl, who hasn't figured out how to explain his relationship with the four gods yet, can only resort to his ever-used big move again.

But the reason why a classic is called a classic must have two brushes.

As soon as this remark came out, Abbadan was in a hurry.

We can only continue to follow the path pointed out by Karl.

Along the way, he saw many ruins.

Seeing that Abadan became interested in this, Karl began to tell Abadan about the previous "Dark Night War" while leaning comfortably in the iron frame.

"This is the ruins left over from the previous war..."

Of course, he made some proper cover-ups for his abilities, asking is the Emperor's blessing.

But even so, Abadan can hear the danger in it.

The three moves are all ultimate moves, but if one of them is not caught, it will be the end of complete destruction.

This also refreshed their impression in Abadan's eyes again.

=If you can't maintain your faith in the Emperor, it will be an extremely dangerous thing=
This is the final conclusion that Abbadan came to.

While walking, when the story in Karl's mouth came to an end, a bustling crowd began to appear in front of the two.

Seeing Karl behind Abadan, they immediately moved out of the passage as if worshiping an envoy, and knelt on both sides to start worshiping like a pilgrimage.

Seeing this, Karl didn't do anything hypocritical and didn't need to kneel down.

This is both a form and a necessary spiritual sustenance.

This is not "an enlightened age."

From a pragmatic point of view, if this kind of formal worship can strengthen their beliefs, it is necessary to exist.

Of course, the marked Seed of Hope progress of 1% is not a joke.

Carl can see some standard tablets from the waists of these civilians.

As the initiator of the Seed of Hope Project, he is very familiar with what those tablets are used for.

Turning over from the iron frame, he came to a believer who was kneeling.

Not for anything else, just because Karl noticed that there were two stacks of books next to the believer.

"Holy Words"

It was a book of belief in the emperor's speech that was widely circulated in 40k.

Ironically, it was Lorgar Aurelion, Primarch of the Word Bearers who wrote the tome in the first place.

= Rejoice!Because I brought you the good news. =
=Gods walk among us=
Although the "Holy Words" handed to Karl at this moment has long been a version that has been changed countless times.

But Karl can still feel the "loyalty" or "faith" contained in these words.

He had a dark premonition that this book should and must be handed over to him right now.

This feeling of destiny made Carl curiously temporarily shift his eyes from the slightly yellowed pages to the person who was giving the book away.

No frills, no flamboyant accessories, just a "king-size" gray burqa that's big enough to cover it in, and a case to lug your books on your way.

As for why it is extra large, it is because the person inside is too small compared to this ordinary burqa.

Looking at the young man in front of him, it is not an exaggeration to call him a "book boy".

Carl, who felt a little weird, decided to ask.

"Did someone instruct you to sell books?"

The young man shook his head.

"Where did these books come from?"

The young man pointed to another book of "Holy Words" which he was copying in seal script.

"How much is a copy?"

After carefully looking at Carl in front of him, the boy waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need money.

After carefully looking at the boy, Karl didn't find anything wrong.

These issues are actually secondary.

The main reason is that he needs to take the opportunity to "smell" the young man up close.

He has been in the small circle of the Four Gods all year round, and he can be said to have a better sense of potential threats than anyone else.

As long as he doesn't "smell" any major problems, he is basically stable.

After flipping through the remaining pages casually, and confirming that there were no missing pages, Carl sent a temporary test task with the device in his back bag.

As a "Seed of Hope Project Terminal" with a standard tablet and always in the state of receiving orders, a certain "beater" quickly ran over with a tablet.

What a joke, he has never seen such a big order.

With this order alone, he can completely pay off his "debt".

If it weren't for his sharp eyesight and quick hands, this kind of opportunity for pie in the sky would have almost slipped away from him.

After receiving the tablet handed over by someone, Carl swipe it casually a few times before handing the tablet to the boy.

Looking at the tablet handed in front of him, the boy still didn't speak.

From his eyes, Carl read a hint of refusal.

= Faith in the Emperor is the best reward =
After understanding what the boy meant, Karl smiled inexplicably.

After putting the tablet in front of the young man again, he pointed to the pop-up message and said, "Don't you want more people to believe in the Emperor?"

In an instant, Karl read a trace of astonishment from the originally calm eyes of the young man.

"Take it and report to Drake of the Crusader."

After finishing speaking, Carl took another copy of "Holy Words" from the pile of books and took it away.

That's for the idiot.

But as soon as he turned around, Karl saw the iconic sluggishness of his brain running crazily in Abadan's eyes.

"Draco, Drake?"

Karl could barely read Abadan's doubts from the subconscious mouth movements.

It wasn't until Karl stepped forward to pat Abadan, and then pointed to another "Holy Words" in his hand, that Abadan came back to his senses.

But looking at Abadan's still thoughtful expression, Karl decided to give him more time to think.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

It was humanity as a whole that the Emperor wanted to save, and humanity was not limited to the Legion Astartes.

Or to be more precise, it is unrealistic to rely on the Astartes alone to save humanity.

And just as Karl was waiting for Abadan to figure it out, the backpack behind him rang again.

This time it's not an important military return - he has blocked all the types of events that hinder his "practice" recovery.

The only thing that could make the backpack ringing behind him was that the boy before had registered an account on the Seed of Hope terminal.

After clicking it curiously, Karl was stunned.

Because the registered real name of that "boy" is-Keliya.
