Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 615 06.0614: "The Deal with the Great Shark (Part )"

While rubbing his aching arm muscles, Horatio led Lati, who was leaning on the Axe of Mecha and turning on the emotion controller and smiling and sulking all the way, and Thei, who was looking around all the way without losing his manners, and followed the Great Shark towards the treasure house on the Nicol.

They walked in the winding corridors for an unknown amount of time. The rusty bulkheads, flickering lights, and the dull sound of footsteps on the metal floor all showed that this battleship had not been properly maintained for many years.

Walking across the deck covered with mottled rust, they finally arrived at a cabin as huge as a palace - the 'treasury'.

Only a battleship-sized battle barge could free up such a large space.

In the treasury, the towering metal shelves are filled with all kinds of rare treasures, sparkling with mysterious light.

"This is what you want to see." Tiberius raised his thick big hand and pointed to the glass box in front of him.

In the compartment, a kind of black slime as dark as petroleum but with gilded patterns spreading across it was surging inside, and its strange appearance seemed to have life.

"That's it?" Horatio frowned, his eyes full of confusion. He really couldn't understand how this thing could resurrect the Megalodon.

"Hehe." Tiberius raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, but did not answer.

I saw his men leading a snow-white herbivorous animal that looked like a small horned deer.

There are beautiful black spots on its fur, just like a mythical creature. It is extremely cute and will surely be very popular among the nobles in the Spire District.

Buzz! With a whistling sound, the poor animal was cut into three by Tiberius's power claws before it could even wail. Blood immediately flowed all over the ground, and a few drops of blood splashed on Thei's riding boots.

"This is a rare Martha deer! It is rare even in the Royal Zoo in the Spire District of Abyss Port! I have always wanted one..." Thei exclaimed in her heart, her eyes full of shock and regret, but she still maintained a decent demeanor.

However, Horatio could still see through Thei's trembling mind - how could a dignified Inquisitor be frightened by such blood? This must be because of her love for alien creatures, so he gently patted Thei on the back and advised her to mourn.

Tiberius strode forward, picked up the body and threw it into the open compartment.

Just like throwing a grain of oatmeal onto slime mold, the wriggling black-gold liquid immediately surged up wildly and quickly climbed onto the corpse.

But unlike normal devouring, everyone present could see that this strange semi-liquid creature was actually "eating" in reverse, using mucus to reassemble the remaining limbs.

The spliced ​​areas began to heal slowly as the mucus flowed through them.

Although the healing process was slow, at this rate, the entire torn body would be restored to its original state within three days.

"This is only half of what it was originally. If it were the same amount as before, it would be no problem to repair a corpse like that Megalodon!" Tiberius said proudly.

"But, even if it is repaired, it is still just a corpse. It cannot allow the dissipated soul to re-enter this body." Horatio stared at the corpse of the spirit deer, frowning, and said slowly.

"Yes, this is the price the oil guys offered me. They have the ability to do so.

Well, a sacrifice was made at that time, a World Eater traitor captured by us, whose humble death allowed this great shark to live again in the world!" Tiberius's words were chilling.

"Enough!" Latti's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and the Mecha Axe in his hand slammed heavily on the gray-black deck, making a dull loud noise.

Horatio had never seen Lettie so angry.

"Even the Myriad Mechanics cannot resurrect the dead! I've only heard of similar things being studied by the heretics of the Dark Mechanicus. Have you cooperated with those heretics of the Dark Mechanicus?!" Latti asked loudly, his voice echoing in the huge space of the treasury.

Facing Lati's questioning, Tiberius snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "How should I know those things about you? I don't care about your here or that. Anyway, they are wearing the same clothes as you."

"Who did you sell the other half to?" Lati continued to ask.

"We never knew each other's names." Tiberius shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Letty, calm down." Horatio quickly grabbed her and tried to calm her down.

"How can I stay calm!" Latti turned his head to look at Horatio mechanically and sleekly, staring straight into his eyes, and said fiercely, "My enemy has found a way to revive! This will put us at a huge disadvantage!"

"Hehe, you worry too much. Even though I don't understand your business, I really don't like the temperament they exude!"

Tiberius interrupted, "What I gave them was half a defective product.

I gave them the part of the Megalodon that was inactive after repairing it. Judging from their anger, it seems that the part that was separated from the main body of the compartment could not achieve the recovery effect they wanted. They tried to rob it with armed force, but we only caused them heavy casualties. "

"So, the one in the glass box is the main thing?" Horatio asked thoughtfully.

"I have not studied these. If this oil man is very interested in them, you can offer a suitable price and take them back for research. Anyway, our sharks have been resurrected. Without the oil man's secret method, we can't use these to revive our dead warriors. We might as well let you try.

However, it is not that simple. It took the oil guys more than a hundred years to complete the process of bringing the shark back to life." Tiberius said, looking at them with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"20 gene seeds, non-Raven Guard hybrids." Horatio was the first to make an offer.

[Well, I'll throw you the gene seeds of those suspected traitorous warbands. Anyway, the Sharkless is as poor as a trash can, and we accept everything. It's just right to spend the gene seeds of the suspected traitorous warbands.] Horatio had such a wishful thinking in his mind. "Non-Raven Guard hybrids... not valuable enough." Tiberius shook his head, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Then 15 non-Raven Guard hybrids and 5 pure Raven Guard gene-seed."

"25. 20 non-Raven Guard hybrids, plus 5 pure Raven Guard gene-seed."

Tiberius stared at Horatio in front of him, his eyes like a bloodthirsty shark staring at its prey. Combined with his deep and oppressive voice, it was enough to make most people's dreams for the next few years turn into horror movies with him as the villain.

"21! 16 foreign breeds, plus 5 pure breeds!" Horatio looked Tiberius in the eye without flinching and accepted the challenge of this silent contest.

"23. 16 hybrids and 7 purebreds!" Tiberius still refused to give up.

"Stop! Just 20 gene seeds, 15 hybrids, and 5 purebreds. Plus 20 sets of extreme power armor! If the price goes up any more, I won't take it." Horatio crossed his arms over his chest and said in a firm tone, telling the other party that this was the bottom line.

(At this time, Horatio has the following remaining capital: 587 remaining gene seeds; 988 sets of Space Marine power armor)
"Hmph, that's more like it. Do you want to look at other things? If the deal is big enough, we can consider giving you a proper discount." Tiberius knew when to stop and put away his previous aura that he would not feel awkward even if he stuffed the thing into his mouth and ate it the next second.

"It seems that you are really experienced in buying and selling gray taxes." Horatio said with a hint of sarcasm.

"This is our way of survival." Tiberius' tone was casual, as if they were discussing buying and selling cabbages in the 2k era.

"Then let's look at something else." Horatio turned to Letty and said, "I'll buy this for you, and you must figure out how the black oil guy resurrected the megalodon within a few years."

"You have a worried look on your face." Letty looked at Horatio with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Horatio sighed, and after a long while he slowly said, "Let's not talk about the long-term impact of this technology. Lieutenant General Alexander Hood is now in a coma. If there is no other way..."

He let out a long sigh, "After the lieutenant general died, we used this method to repair his body and then tried to revive him."

"But there is a question, Captain." Lati's eyes were just as cold, but even deeper. "How do you know that Vice Admiral Alexander Hood is still the same person after his resurrection?"

"What do you mean?" Horatio frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

"You heard what the big guy just said. They used a Chaos Space Marine as a sacrifice. I think... the details of resurrecting the Megalodon may not be as simple as we thought. Under what circumstances is it necessary to sacrifice the soul for resurrection?" Lati lowered his voice.

At Lati's suggestion, Horatio suddenly realized, and he whispered: "You mean... Black Gear Boy sealed the soul of the Chaos Space Marine into the body of the Megalodon?"

"This is exactly what they are good at. As far as I know, from the intelligence collected about the rebellious Titan Legions during the Horus Heresy, it can be seen that the Black Mechanicus has been proficient in this kind of soul transfer and sealing technology since then; or it may be a small byproduct of blasphemous behavior.

So I don't agree with your idea, Captain, unless you just want Vice Admiral Hood's body to stand up, and don't care what is controlling him." There was no expression on Lati's cold and indifferent face, and his voice seemed to have no temperature.

"I see. Anyway, you should study it first. After all, what you said is just a guess." Horatio nodded, his expression solemn.

Thei looked at the two people whispering with curiosity and walked forward on tiptoe.

"What are you talking about?" She tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

Horatio took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, a smile on his face again, but there was a hint of danger in that smile: "Nothing."

He looked at Tiberius and said, "Give us the bodies of the creatures in that room as well."

"It's up to you, Captain. The entire glass box will be moved onto your warship." Tiberius waved his hand and said generously.

"Thank you and your warriors for your hard work." Horatio smiled back, then turned to Thei and said, "I'll make an animal sample for you when we get back. I promised you that I would bring you new samples that are not in your collection when I sail."

Thei's clear and bright eyes widened slightly, and she lowered her head to adjust the corners of her mouth that were too close to her ears, and then raised her head again, not knowing that an even brighter smile had bloomed on her face at this moment: "Thank you, Horatio, I'm glad you still remember."

"Thank you for your hard work these days. I look forward to your guidance in the future." Horatio took off his hat and saluted in a gentlemanly manner.

"Let's see if there are any better things next, Chapter Master. I believe that the treasure trove of the Great Shark will not disappoint us. Of course, as for the price, I still remember the discount you just promised me."

Horatio finished speaking, and his eyes once again turned to the dazzling array of items in the treasure house, as if he was looking for the next surprise.

"Wait, what is that?" He noticed a silver coin on a dusty small table next to the glass room. The pattern on the coin looked familiar.
"I can give you this as well." Tiberius picked up the silver coin and threw it to Horatio.

"This is a silver coin we found on the body of the Oil Man's servant we killed. It's not worth much to us, so take it if you want."

Horatio raised his hand to take the silver coin in mid-air, held it between his fingertips and looked at the surface, then remembered where this style of silver coin had appeared before.

[How did it get here?!] His pupils contracted.

He would not be mistaken. The silver coin on it was exactly the strange vulture-man silver coin that he had intercepted during the Abyss Port Incident.

[How is it possible... This is not the Misty Star Region, but the distant Extreme Star Region!]
