Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 429 06.0428: "The brightest future of mankind will be born from my belly"

"Well, is this batch of orders from your flagship? If so, then I can offer you some discounts on the supply of this batch of exquisite weapons. How about 15% off?
This is the highest discount I can offer as a priest, after all, high-quality military equipment is in short supply.

But you don’t have to rush to pay. If you can bring me something interesting from the expedition, I will offset part of the bill for you~Um Fufufu~"

Inside the research room of Technical Priest Lati-EB2A2.

The naked Horatio lay quietly on the test table. The light blue laser of the scanner circled around his body, shining up and down, back and forth. A servo skull was rotating above his head, and the suspension force field engine made a buzzing sound of the underworld.

"Thank you very much, but will your decision-making really not affect the interests of the Mechanicus?"

"In this matter, my words represent the interests of the Order, haha. Relax your body, individual 001."

After instinctively calling Horatio by his test code name, Letty suddenly changed the subject:
"This is just a regular physiological check-up, Mr. Horatio. From the time you entered the Chuji Academy and were assigned to me to perform the transformation surgery, I will be fully responsible for your health for life."

The female priest in red holy robes stood in front of the operating table, her slender hands tapping the panel smoothly. The faint blue light reflected the perfect artificial skin on her hands without any pores or blemishes, adding a bit of mysterious beauty.

"Thank you so much. But to be honest, I feel pretty good at the moment." Horatio said, his head resting on the hard iron bed, his blinking eyes unable to look up at the dark ceiling.

For some reason, he now felt like he was selling his body to this female priest in exchange for military budget reduction. How strange, it was just a routine physical examination.

"It can be even better, Fufufu~" She chuckled seductively in her mature woman's voice: "So, sir, how do you feel about the strength of this machine?"

"Very good, the physical strength is sufficient, at least for now, it is enough to cooperate with the Iron Hand."

"Hmm~ yeah~" the woman said with a smile, "So how do you feel about your reproductive performance?"

Without turning around, she retrieved a set of parameters from the maid robot connected to the other end of the pipeline.

"Uh... in this regard... I think it's very powerful. But why are you asking this?" Horatio was a little confused by the sudden question asked by the female priest whom he had never understood, and could only respond with a wry smile.

"Are you planning on having children in the near future, sir?" She analyzed the data, and a double twisted helix image appeared on the screen. There was no doubt that it was Horatio's DNA.

"I'm a bit busy recently, but I'll be there when the situation is right."

"Can you please tell me the mother candidate?"

The female priest suddenly turned around and asked with a bright and warm smile, the electronic eye on the right side was still scanning some key data on his body, from length, to size, to the upward angle.

"I think it should be..." After a little thought, he named several beauties in love.

“Excellent, it is your duty to mint coins for the God-Emperor, sir.

When your child is born, please allow me to monitor your and your offspring's health. It is my life's honor to serve the bloodline of Speyer."

The woman smiled. If it weren't for the mechanical dendrites and crimson prosthetic limbs that were baring their fangs and emitting silent threats behind her, her sweet and charming face would definitely attract the admiration and pursuit of countless men.

"But Father Lati, aren't you an engineer? Why are you so concerned about this?"

"Fufufu~"

She smiled again and said, "Of course, that's because I am both an engineer and a geneticist. You rarely see a technical priest who can practice both.

Well, sir, your body maintenance has been completed. If you feel any discomfort, please contact me immediately. "

The instruments surrounding the bed were removed one after another. Horatio moved his slightly numb limbs and turned over to get out of bed.

Although he always felt that what Father Lati was tinkering with was a bit strange, since she was able to provide services to the official Imperial Navy, she must have undergone a strict background check.

Lati's original name was Lati Apotia. She was born in the Forging Enclave of Abyss Port and grew up under the shining light of Om Messiah.

He was a genius who had completed the selection of a Servant of the Mechanicus at the age of 12, and then completed the dual degree program of the Mechanicus, 'Master's and Doctoral Program', becoming a rare dual-degree genius priest.

He studied under the famous Great Sage Cambyleus and now serves in his research team, currently studying with one of the sages named FX-780 'Zeppelin'.

The physiological age cannot be determined accurately, but based on the analysis of the data, it should be at the level of a 33-year-old woman.

She is a mature MILF.

When she put on the red and white holy vestments, outlining her graceful and charming curves, she looked like a ripe and soft persimmon, making people want to pinch it and enjoy the soft touch.

"Good-bye, Father Ratti. We may not see each other for a long time."

"Why do you say that?" The woman just smiled.

"I will be heading to the Far East of Ultramarine to take part in an expedition, fighting the Tau fleet in the Damocles Gulf region. I may not be back for a year or so." He put on his officer uniform and pinned the medal on his collar.

"I see. I wish you success in your battle."

The woman showed no regret or reluctance, and seemed calm and composed, as if she would not be too far away from this proud genetically engineer.

Horatio didn't understand her thoughts, or rather, he didn't know what was in the head and memory of any mechanical priest.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he left Lati's laboratory, leaving the experienced priestess here. After Horatio left, the priestess turned around and continued to stare at the double helix gene sequence on the display in front of her, then called up a video, which showed him working hard on the bed in the Far Star RV.

Gradually, the corners of the goddess' mouth turned up more and more.

"Reproduce! Shout! The future of mankind."

Then, she stroked her belly with her jade-like slender hands and smiled coldly and charmingly: "And the brightest future of mankind will be born from my belly."

"And that will be our offspring."

“How is the uniform customization going?”

The mahogany door was pushed open again, and Horatio strode into the tailor shop, took off his wide-brimmed hat with a white brimmed hat tile, straightened his hair which Farida's personal maid had carefully styled with hair wax, and asked the owner of the tailor shop.

"Of course, sir, we are working on it as quickly as possible, but as you know, the processing of the officer's bicorne hat is rather complicated, and the sewing process of high-quality gold thread is also time-consuming, so it is difficult to complete it before you set sail.

In addition, there is also a set of formal wear and a set of casual wear, which I am very sorry about."

"It's alright. Just deliver the officer's uniform and wide-brimmed hat that have been customized. I'll come back to pick up the bicorne hat that goes with the dress later."

Horatio looked at the boss, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the mahogany sword rack behind him that was full of mortgaged swords. He inadvertently saw a sword that looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Okay, sir."

So Horatio walked to the back of the store, wondering where he had seen the officer's sword before, and at the same time preparing to try on the new custom-made uniform to feel it on his body.

After a while, a young military officer walked into the store.

"Sir, I'm here to redeem my sword. I'm going to set sail in the next few days, but I can't pay off the mortgage all at once. I want to discuss the matter of repayment in installments with you."

"Mr. Collingwood, you know that we don't sell on credit. And we both know that your sword is not worth 300 million. I've given you a higher price because of your grandfather's favor."

"I know, but my bonus is still in the approval process of the Navy Department. It will take a long time to wait. I am afraid that it will take a while to get it just relying on the salary of a naval lieutenant..."

Although the Imperial Navy has a generous bonus mechanism, this money often needs to be audited and allocated by the Ministry of the Interior, and it usually takes a few years for it to be allocated. The only thing that can be relied on on a daily basis is the annual salary settled at the end of each year.

Therefore, for naval officers who do not have a wealthy family and have just joined the army, the first few years of their naval officer career are tantamount to serving at their own expense.

Including military uniforms, equipment, entertainment, social activities, etc., all of these are huge expenses.

Not to mention that Collingwood also has a sick mother who is recuperating at home. Buying medicine, maintaining the family mansion and paying the servants are also a considerable expense every year.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and he had to serve in the military at his own expense, and he also had to send money home for support. The ever-increasing deficit weighed like a dark cloud over this already financially strapped young man.

"Archie!"

A voice interrupted this conversation that revealed the hardships of life.

"Oh, Mr. Major, do you know each other?"

"Yes."

Horatio put his arm on the shoulder of the young man next to him and introduced, "Lieutenant Collingwood, my first mate."

The words 'lieutenant' and 'first mate' made the young man's eyes flash with surprise.

"The decision of the Gothic Admiralty?"

"Of course, the attack ship is currently lacking in sufficient lieutenants. I am responsible for the appointment of personnel in this area and have decided to promote you to the position of first mate of the Epic.

At the same time, because of your contribution on the planet Farr, the Navy Department allowed you to be promoted to lieutenant as an exception, in order to meet the minimum rank required for the position of first mate, and Lieutenant Louise will serve as my second mate.

I think when we return from the expedition, you won’t have to worry about money anymore.”

Horatio patted him on the shoulder. He knew that although Archie was easy-going, he was determined not to accept charity.

If I help him pay for it here now, it will only make him more embarrassed.

So he just subtly revealed some information to the tailor shop owner.

When the shop owner heard that the young man from the Collingwood family was also very capable, he immediately turned his head and said with a smile:
"Mr. Collingwood, this is your sword. I have taken good care of it during this period of time. As for the installment you mentioned, don't worry. You can pay off the rest after returning." The owner said, pinching the corner of his mustache.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. I will make up the missing amount after returning."

"No hurry~ No hurry~" The boss looked at the young man with a smile.

"How did you get here?" After leaving the store, Horatio and Collingwood walked side by side to the black limousine with the Admiralty logo.

"I called a taxi."

"Come on up, our new battleship is waiting for us in the port."
