Warhammer in a box

Chapter 313 Realm Gate
"Belegar, I need a forging room and then deliver these fragments to the forging room. This is very important!"

Everyone could hear the serious tone in Vukan's voice.

"Don't worry! I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Soon a forging room was cleaned out and the extinguished fire was reignited with the help of the dwarves.

After Wokan persuaded everyone to leave, he tried to repair the thing alone in the forge.

"Father... the inscriptions on it are almost identical to the symbols on the webway gate you built under the palace!"

The emperor that Wokan communicated with was Zhang Heng.

After hearing what Wokan said, Zhang Heng had no idea what was on the webway gate, as he had never built that thing!
The webway gates that the Emperor of 40k wanted to build also borrowed from the technology of the Old Ones. Perhaps the Webway Emperor under the Emperor also used some of the Old Ones' creations?

From Wokan's words, he could guess what was in front of him.

"It does look very similar. Is this also an ancient artifact?"

"If nothing goes wrong, yes, father, it's just that I can't figure out what this thing is for the time being. Maybe if I try to repair it, we can figure out its purpose!"

"Volkan, do your best to fix it!"

"I will!"

Wokan has already started trying to repair it, and Zhang Heng is staring at the ring-shaped object in a trance.

He went through his memories in his mind, trying to find some information about this thing.

"Similar to the webway, could this thing be the boundary gate of the ancient saint? It connects all parts of the medieval world and also connects to the outside world?"

For a moment, Zhang Heng could only think of this possibility.

"Wait! Isn't there an Ancient Creation under Middenheim? Maybe this guy Yurik knows what this thing is!"

Before the Ancient Saints came to this world, Ulric and other native gods already existed, and the medieval world had its own creatures and ecology.

The Old Ones arrived in this world and obviously reached some agreement with the native gods of this world. Otherwise, how could Ulric agree to place such an important thing under Middenheim, which is something that can destroy the world.

Zhang Heng thought of another god of the Lizardmen, the snake god Sotek. No one could tell whether Sotek was an Ancient Saint or not, but even if Sotek was not an Ancient Saint, he was definitely related to the Ancient Saints, otherwise the Lizardmen would not believe in him. Now, among the Lizardmen's beliefs, only Sotek has been sending down miracles to help Sotek fight against Chaos. What is certain is that this god of the Lizardmen still remains in this world, and is most likely a native god of Lustria.

Otherwise, how could the divinely blessed lizardmen related to him be hatched from the incubation pools created by the ancient saints?

"It seems I have to ask Master Ma to take me to find Sotek. Maybe I can get more information from him."

It will take some time to completely clear out Bafeng Mountain. Faced with possible accidents, Zhang Heng decided to let his E Demon and the army stay in Bafeng Mountain temporarily and assist the dwarves in rebuilding the defenses of Bafeng Mountain.

All useless underground passages were blown up, and the important passages needed to be reinforced. Wokan's top priority now was to repair the ancient saint's creation in front of him. Zhang Heng once again projected his consciousness back to the long-lost empire. He needed to verify with Yurik whether the things underground were the same as those in the Eight Peaks Mountain.

Zhang Heng's perspective switched back to the empire. Everything in the empire was developing in a good direction. The faith of the Emperor had begun to sweep across the entire empire. There were a large number of new believers every day, and a large amount of faith was generated every day. Under the crazy construction of the priests and with the assistance of the undead workers underground.

Railway systems connecting the entire empire are also being built, and with the increase in churches and believers, the divine symbols spread across towns are squeezing the living space of various cultists hiding in the dark.

The fighting ability of cultists is not scary; what is scary is their skills in hiding and bewitching others.

However, the lives of the lower-class civilians have visibly improved, making it extremely difficult for them to deceive these lower-class people. Many cults are moving their headquarters to the eastern part of the empire, away from Terra.

However, the development of the empire at this time had also reached a bottleneck. Higher-tech research and development required time, and the limitation of the empire's total population also meant that a large number of uninhabited dark forests could not be developed.

Zhang Heng also glanced at the destroyed Marienburg. A coastal wall built by the cooperation of mages and priests had been formed. The sufficient gunpowder and artillery were destined to make it impossible for the navy of this era to return.

The opening of Marienburg also made trade and exchanges in Bretonnia more frequent.

Ludwig mentioned the matter of Bretonnia to Karl. Karl could tell that Ludwig was not asking him whether it was feasible. Instead, his words were telling him that he would move forward with the matter of Bretonnia whether he agreed or not.

I only mentioned this to you because you are still the emperor in name only.

Zhang Heng turned his attention back to Ragnar in Middenheim.

Ragnar was doing combat training with the White Wolf Knights at this time. As the chosen one of Ulric, he also took on the task of training these White Wolf Knights. Under his training and guidance, the combat effectiveness of the White Wolf Knights had been significantly improved.

"Swing the sword! Faster! Even if it's training, you have to give it your all! Injured? So what? It's better than dying in the battle with Chaos!"

Ragnar reprimanded the phenomenon that he was dissatisfied with, and the next moment, the Emperor's will appeared in his mind.

"Ragnar, go to Ulric's temple!"

"Emperor? Yes, I'll go right away! Boy! Don't let me come back and find someone slacking off!!"

Ragnar left the training ground and rode Death towards Ulric's temple. The guards did not stop him when they saw that it was Ragnar. Ragnar just flew straight into the temple.

After arriving at the temple, Zhang Heng's soul form descended in front of Yurik's holy fire.

"Urik! Are you there!?"

As Zhang Heng called out, Yurik's holy fire began to sway, and a wolf head appeared in the holy fire.

"God Emperor? How come you seem to have gotten stronger again? The speed at which you're getting stronger is a bit outrageous. Why are you looking for me?"

"Urik, I have something very important to confirm with you! Do you know what is under Middenheim? What is the purpose of this ancient artifact? I need to see it with my own eyes."

"An ancient creation? No, it's too dangerous! Divine Emperor, I advise you not to make such plans."

"Urik! What agreement did you make with those ancient saints?"

"This has nothing to do with you, God Emperor!"

"Urik, I know that the Old Ones do not belong to this world. This world is your home! If you really care about this world, just tell me! My followers have ended the battle at Eight Peaks Mountain, and also found an Old One creation in the dwarf's treasure house!!"

"God Emperor, you actually know so many things. Even the Ancient Saints. Hmm?! Wait, you said you found another one in the dwarf's treasure house? Impossible! How could these Ancient Saints make so many such dangerous things?! God Emperor! Are you lying to me?!"

After hearing what Zhang Heng said, Yurik immediately lost his composure, and Zhang Heng also confirmed that Yurik must know more, he just refused to say it.

"I lied to you? Look at these inscriptions."

As he spoke, Zhang Heng used his faith to draw the inscriptions on the fragments in the air. After seeing the inscriptions, Yurik knew that Zhang Heng had not deceived him. These inscriptions were exactly the same as the inscriptions on the thing under Middenheim!
