Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 616 06.0615: "The Deal with the Man-eating Shark (Part )"

"What's wrong?" Thei saw Horatio standing still and took a step forward. The Vulture silver coin in his hand came into his sight.

Thei raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hehe, it seems that even though the Milky Way is vast, the world is still very small sometimes."

Horatio turned around and looked at Father Latti, his face solemn: "Father Latti."

She raised the silver coin in her hand and said, "Seeing this silver coin, do you know what the connection is between the Mechanicus of Abyssal Port and it?"

"What a coincidence." Lati reached out and took the silver coin from Horatio. His artificial eye flashed a faint blue light and scanned and analyzed it carefully. "I am also investigating this matter, so I emphasized 'my enemy' just now."

"Did you know that Lieutenant General Hood was poisoned while cleaning the excavation site after being rescued? Moreover, the poisoner was most likely your colleague." Horatio stared at Letty, trying to catch a hint of something strange in her expression.

"Are you doubting me?" When Lettie said this, her tone was surprisingly calm, as if she had long been accustomed to such suspicion. Her eyes were calm and she looked back at Horatio quietly.

"No one in particular. To be precise, everyone is a suspect." Horatio shook his head slightly, and his tone slowed down. "I don't want to doubt you, but I hope to learn from you what unknown secrets are hidden in the Abyssal Port Mechanicus."

"I once had some clues." Lati frowned slightly, lost in reminiscence, "But after the Abyss Port incident, you made too much noise, and the clues I was tracking were either cleverly hidden or completely interrupted.

The enemy is extremely cautious, but I still have some clues, otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me so excited just now."

After that, Latti returned the silver coin to Horatio and said, "I believe these guys will show up again in the near future."

"Where did you stop?" demanded Horatio.

"The lower nest area of ​​the Vegas district in Abyss Port is called 'Zone'. I'm sure you are familiar with it. After all, it was once your territory. The pharmaceutical factory production line I built for you is right there." Letty raised her head and looked into Horatio's eyes.

"Yes, that factory and its supporting industries employ a lot of workers." Horatio nodded slightly, with a hint of emotion in his expression.

I have been in this world for three years. Three years have passed, and they are three years of great difference.

"Below the zero zone, near the bottom nest, there is a long-term poisonous fog."

Lati's tone became heavy, "These poisonous mists will not only corrupt the body, but also destroy the lines, seriously hindering our exploration of the secrets of the core part of the artificial planet Abyss Port.

A branch of the Mechanicus that has been extracting Louise's blood for serum purification for a long time, and reverse-engineering the formula of the prototype potion injected by her parents, trying to eliminate the interference of toxins.

However, now that she is a naval officer, the experimental team will soon lose their experimental samples.

If we can’t solve this problem, we will never know what secrets are hidden under the poisonous fog in the underground core of Abyss Port.”

"So, this is why you came on board? I remember you drew her blood on the pretext of a regular blood test." A hint of doubt flashed in Horatio's eyes.

"You can't say that."

Lati shook her head slightly, with a helpless smile on her face. "I am indeed keeping an eye on her health. After all, this is the only precious sample. Blood research is just making use of the surplus value of the sampled blood.

After all, you don't think I have the guts to do something dirty on your warship, under the noses of the Holy Maiden and the Inquisitor. "

"Then, the laboratory you asked me for at the Zero Zone Pharmaceutical Factory is also where you secretly conducted private research." Horatio's tone was questioning.

"Haha, ladies always need a little privacy."

Lati smiled and turned her gaze to Thei, "You may not know that even the laboratories of our technical priests may not be absolutely safe. I believe you have seen this through Miss Thei's trick of breaking into the door.

Some of my colleagues are not so clean. I have a secret that they must not discover."

"So, you have been carrying out your plan from the beginning." Horatio's tone suddenly turned cold.

"I can only assure you that these 'plans' will be useful to you. But I cannot tell you what they are specifically at this time." Letty calmly met Horatio's gaze, her tone becoming increasingly mysterious, like an unfathomable astrologer.

"From your description, it seems that in order to guard against your own people, you set up a new hidden laboratory, left behind other technical priests in the experimental group, and followed the Epic to continue reverse researching drugs. Your colleagues in the same group seem to be untrustworthy." Horatio said with a frown.

"I only believe in myself." There was determination in Lati's eyes.

“You have a lot of confidence in yourself.”

"I have the capital." Letty raised her chin slightly, full of confidence.

"Is your 'meeting' over?" Tiberius' voice came from the side with a little impatience. He frowned and looked at the two people who were whispering.

"If you have anything to say, you can go back and talk about it. Don't waste strategic time now. We have to fight against every second." There was unquestionable majesty in Tiberius' tone.

"As you wish, Chapter Master." Lati looked a little tired. She put one hand on her chest in salute and responded with a slight sigh.

Horatio looked away from Letty and towards Tiberius, "Please show us the other goodies."

"This is the ancient relic-level gauntlet 'Breaker'."

Tiberius picked up the gauntlet and showed it to everyone. "This set of gauntlet includes a complete hand armor and large and small arm armor. There are some notches on it, but the parts corresponding to the notches have been lost. However, given its superb craftsmanship, it does not seem to be made by human craftsmanship. If all the components can be installed, perhaps this gauntlet can produce unexpected effects."

"What you are looking at now is an older STC called 'Toaster'," Tiberius continued, "some oil guys wanted it before, but they couldn't afford my price. This is..." In Tiberius's guessing explanation, many things did not arouse Horatio's interest. But Lati, who had just gotten out of the strange and suspenseful conversation, now had a bright look in her eyes, and she looked like she wanted it all.

"Captain, maybe this gauntlet can be used on your Iron Hand to further enhance your strength. Wait...

"Ah! Captain! This is it! This is the legendary 'Toaster'! I'd give up ten years of my life to get this! Captain~" Lati pointed at the "Toaster" STC excitedly, her voice full of desire.

Horatio sighed helplessly and held his forehead, "Letty, you really should change your habit of wanting everything."

"I just like it, and it will definitely be useful to you!!!" Letty said in a coquettish tone, causing Horatio to shake his head and sigh again.

Until the two of them stood in front of a strange machine.

It was a machine that looked like the integrated "big ass" computer display screen of Horatio's previous life, with a cathode ray tube screen in front. Horatio looked puzzled and curiously looked at this thing that he had seen as a child in his previous life.

"What kind of 'holy object' is this?" Horatio shrugged and glanced at Tiberius with a hint of amusement in his eyes, waiting to see what story he could make up.

"Good vision, Captain." Tiberius smiled, "This is an advanced machine soul extractor."

"Advanced Machine Soul Extractor?" Horatio repeated the name of this strange machine with a strange expression, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of confusion.

"Yes, it can..."

Before Tiberius finished speaking, Lati stood in front of the "big ass" computer screen with a focused look on her face, her eyebrows furrowed, "It can extract and preserve high-level machine souls and peel them off from their original attachment carriers."

"Ah? Just this big-ass display screen??? Can it extract and save high-level machine souls???"

Horatio's face was full of surprise and wonder, and he looked at the machine in disbelief.

Are you kidding me? This looks like a cathode ray tube monitor that might not even be bought at a recycling station! In the era before he traveled through time, the recycling price of this antique was only a few dozen yuan, and junk collectors were too lazy to take it.

"Rati, are you sure?" Horatio carefully leaned close to Rati's ear and asked softly, "Are you sure that the advanced machine soul extractor looks like this? This is just a cathode ray tube screen."

"I've seen... uh, I've heard about it. It looks like this. It's a very valuable item with extremely low reserves. It may be difficult for you to collect this item again in the galaxy. In addition, I also suggest that you collect the first two as well..." Latti lowered his voice and said seriously.

Hearing what Letty said, Horatio bit his lower lip and looked hesitant.

"These two, plus this, I'll trade you 35 hybrid gene seeds, plus 50 sets of Space Marine power armor." Horatio looked at Tiberius and proposed his exchange terms.

(At this time, Horatio has the following remaining capital: 567 remaining gene seeds; 968 sets of Space Marine power armor)
"Too little." Tiberius refused without hesitation.

"These are of no value to you, and they are also of doubtful value to me. I just have some collecting addiction. Tiberius, what I am exchanging with you is what you need most. Those oil men can't give you so many gene seeds." Horatio tried to persuade Tiberius. (The speech begins)
"These are not enough, you have to add some. Even if I can't use them, you have to take into account the cost of our bloody battle to get them." Tiberius was unmoved.

"Listen to me, most people in the Empire have some "misunderstandings" about the Carcharodon Chapter. They think that you are cold-blooded, aloof, bloodthirsty, and unable to distinguish between friend and foe. Moreover, the area where you are located is the territory of the Ultramarines.

As the sons of Guilliman, they have the support of five hundred worlds, and they adhere strictly to the Holy Codex. They do not need your holy relics, nor will they use their gene-seed to exchange for them.

It is impossible for you to find a second customer here who can provide you with gene seeds. Even your regular customers, the oil guys, can't do it.

As the descendant of the legendary Admiral Speyer of the Imperial Navy, I know that the Great Shark has served the Empire for a thousand years and performed his duties conscientiously, so I am using these for trading. If I didn't know the Great Shark's loyalty, I would rather blow up the gene seeds than use them to help the evildoers. Where can you find a second trading partner who trusts you as much as I do?
How about this, you give us 5 more gene seeds, 30 in total, make friends with us, and leave us a dedicated star language contact channel. If you find any new STC in the future, you can directly contact my priest. Your efficiency in clearing out inventory will definitely be much higher than before, and you can exchange it for good things that are priceless.

How about this? This is a sure win business. Just like you said, you like stable customers, and I am the stable customer you dream of. "

"Enough!" Tiberius suddenly interrupted loudly, his voice shaking the air around him slightly.

Horatio was so startled by the roar of the four-meter-tall giant in front of him that he instinctively took a step back to avoid danger.

[Battle doesn't work? ?] Horatio thought to himself.

Tiberius beat his chest with one hand and said loudly: "Just as you said, my friend in the Imperial Navy, 30 gene seeds and 50 sets of power armor will make friends. In addition, I will also give you a treasure, hoping that our future trade will be smooth and mutually beneficial." (Great success in eloquence)
Tiberius picked up a black triangle from a dusty table. The tip of the triangle was made of golden metal that looked like gold.

"I said there are more discounts for more, this is a free gift for you."

Tiberius extended his big hand holding the triangle to the three people, "Although we don't know what this is yet, I will call it the 'Mysterious Triangular Obelisk'."

Lati and Thei simultaneously turned their gazes towards the black triangle in Tiberius's hand, their eyes full of great interest.

"There's some kind of symbol on it," said Letty, moving closer to take a closer look.

"It looks like some kind of hieroglyphics. Is it an alien creation of other galactic life forms? Oh, interesting." Thei also came closer to take a look, with a curious look on his face.

Seeing that the two were so interested in the gift, Horatio reached out to Tiberius, grabbed one of his fingers, and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope you can give us more good things in the future."

"It's a deal, Captain. I'll have my brothers pack the items you want and send them to you. Please confirm, half-compartment repair slime, relic gauntlets, toaster STC, advanced machine soul extractor, and a free mysterious triangular obelisk. This is the contract to ensure the fair fulfillment of the promise of exchange." Tiberius handed over the contract.

"Confirmed." Horatio signed the contract, "We will seal the gene seeds and power armor for you and have your battle brother take them back privately without letting anyone see them.

Looking forward to our next transaction.”
