Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 414: Caliban's Past

The Oathbreaker's son-in-law gutted the beast, carefully peeled off the fur and hung it aside.

Then he took out some of the beast's internal organs, cut off some of its meat, and put it directly into a big pot to cook.

After cooking, sprinkle some salt on it and you have a dinner that is very exquisite and luxurious just in terms of the difficulty of obtaining the food.

Soval sat at one end of a long wooden table in armor, with his son-in-law and daughter on his left and right.

Qin Xia sat opposite Soval, at the other end of the short side of the long table.

"How do you solve the problem of salt and vegetables?" Qin Xia asked while eating.

"Some people will enter the wasteland, and they will see this small house not far from the entrance to the wasteland, and then come to ask for help, or they will not ask for help, but just throw some salt and vegetables at the door." Thorval chewed the beast's internal organs in his mouth. "I once refused to admit that I was a knight, but what made me realize was that the people of Caliban still provided for me, even after I hid in this place."

Qin Xia nodded thoughtfully.

The relationship between Caliban knights and commoners is not that of superiors and subordinates, nor is it that of nobles and servants.

Every knight in the Knights Templar is not a noble. From a utilitarian point of view, they are just a group of resentful creatures who were pushed out to face those terrifying beasts.

But these resentful people do not think they have much resentment. On the contrary, for various reasons, they are willing to stand up and face the beasts to protect the people and pursue the honor bestowed upon them by the people.

In the eyes of the people, knights are a group of self-sacrificing martyrs whose innate moral level is above the atmosphere. They defend the people and are respected by the people.

The source of their power and material conditions does not come from bloodline or capital, but from mutual admiration and respect.

"Magical Caliban." Qin Xia said.

“You don’t look like a Calibanite.” Soval put down his spoon and cleared his throat. “You don’t look like a Calibanite either. Although I can’t find any problems with your accent and words, and they even remind me of a bastard who raised a monster as his son… But I still think you are not a Calibanite.”

Qin Xia nodded calmly: "Of course I'm not. But maybe you won't believe it... I just saved the Caliban people, and now I'm preparing to do something that can save the world of Caliban."

As soon as he finished speaking, Soval's son-in-law laughed so hard that the soup in his mouth sprayed out.

In the eyes of the son-in-law, a man in a robe had nothing to prove that he had saved Caliban.

Soval glared at his son-in-law fiercely: "How could my Lord of Sirius have a child like you!"

The son-in-law closed his mouth and lowered his head in disappointment.

His wife, who was sitting across from him, reached out and shook her husband's hand, smiling tenderly as he looked at her.

"You have powerful witchcraft powers. I saw it before, so I think you may have helped many people." Soval said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you are not from Caliban but from the Empire, I will still take you to the ruins of the Sirius Knights."

"Actually, there is no need for that, but my guide is a stupid person with poor direction, and I can't find the location of the Knights' ruins." Qin Xia scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

"It can block the power of witchcraft. Humph. Otherwise... unless all the Knights of Sirius are sane, who would dare to establish the headquarters of the Knights in this damn place of the wilderness without some support?" Soval said with a snort.

"The ruins should be safer." Qin Xia looked around, "Why don't you settle there?"

Soval's eyes gradually became dim and distracted.

I don't know what he was thinking. After thinking for a long time, Soval answered in a low voice: "We used to live there, and then... then my grandson was born. He didn't breathe or cry at the time. I thought he was dead right after he was born... I took my grandson away from the site and buried him in the cemetery. After I left the site, my grandson finally cried out."

Qin Xia thought about it and felt that there might be something that could suppress psychic energy at the ruins of the Knights Templar, and Soval's grandson happened to be a psychic who was born with powerful talents.

"In this family, it's not me who protects this family."

Soval glanced at his son-in-law as he spoke.

Obviously it is not this son-in-law.

"It's my grandson."

"I don't know what happened in the past few years. The northern wilderness is full of wandering corpses and crazy beasts. The brain capacity of any beast is more than ten times larger than that of humans. They are incredibly smart and cunning, and occasionally follow me back home."

"Then, no matter how many beasts there are, as long as my grandson lets out a cry, the beasts will flee in panic. If his cry is too loud, the beasts' heads will even explode one after another."

“Even though we live here, we are safe.”

Soval looked at the baby in his daughter's arms.

"He will grow up, be taught the etiquette and morality of chivalry, be taught combat skills, and then one day, he will wear the insignia of the Order of Sirius."

"My grandson will become a vengeful knight, leave his hometown, and avenge an entire order of knights."

When he said this, Soval's face turned fierce and his eyes were filled with hatred.

The old man didn't continue speaking, but Qin Xia could already guess who his grandson would seek revenge on after becoming the Knight of Vengeance.

Luther and Ryan, these two.

After all, it was Ryan who destroyed the Knights of Sirius.

And Luther raised Ryan.

"Dad." Soval's daughter reached out and held her father's gauntlet. "I don't want my son to become a vengeful knight. Those things are in the past. Besides, that humanoid monster is really very powerful. I'm worried..."

Hearing his daughter say these words, Soval's face was uncertain.

Several looks appeared in succession in his eyes.

Hatred, discomfort, heartache, worry, fear, determination...

"I don't want that either..." the son-in-law muttered softly.

Soval suddenly overturned his bowl, then turned around and searched for something in the room.

While searching, he cursed.

"Anyone can say no to revenge! But you can't!"

"When you were a kid, you hid under your parents' bed and watched Ryan, the humanoid monster, tear your parents into pieces!" "When you were eight years old, you stole my bow and arrow and went to the old city, saying you wanted to avenge your parents!"

"Then you become more and more useless!"

Soval found a stick, picked it up with the emblem of the Order of Sirius in both hands, and beat his son-in-law.

He swung the stick ten times in one second.

The daughter kept circling around her father, trying to stop him, but there was no way she could beat her father in power armor. Seeing that she couldn't stop him, she simply threw herself on her husband.

Soval was an expert in stick fighting. No matter how his daughter tried to block the blows from her son-in-law, every blow would hit her son-in-law, and there was no chance of hitting his daughter.

Even predictable.

Obviously, this was not the first time that his son-in-law was beaten, and this was not the first time that his daughter protected her husband. Both husband and wife had gained experience by sparring with the old man.

"Dad, I was wrong!"

"I will never say that again! Never say that again! I am a member of the Sirius Knights, I am the descendant of the Lord of Sirius, isn't it enough for me to avenge my father? Stop hitting me!"

Seeing that the son-in-law was beaten and said that he would never dare to be a married woman again, Qin Xia couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There is a saying: Three sticks will break the soul of life, and I, your father-in-law, am a werewolf.

"Does the oath of the Knights of Sirius stipulate that beating family members is allowed?" Qin Xia, who was sitting at the table, suddenly spoke up.

Soval held the stick high for two seconds, then put it down again.

His son-in-law and daughter looked at Qin Xia gratefully and got up from the ground.

Soval respectfully placed the stick in the box, closed the box, and stood there taking a few breaths.

"It's funny."

"You rest here tonight. I'll take you to the ruins tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Qin Xia glanced at Kang who had been invisible and nodded silently.

……

Later in the night.

It was one in the morning when Caliban arrived.

Qin Xia, who was sitting at the door of the room leaning against the wall to rest, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then a rustling sound came into the room.

Then there was another wolf howl.

The son-in-law and daughter who were sleeping on the big bed were still snoring, while Soval, who was lying on the floor beside the bed, got up with his eyes closed, walked to the wall, took down the bow and arrow, and then took down the long sword hanging on the wall.

The old man walked to the window with his eyes closed and slowly opened his eyes.

He seemed to have just woken up at this moment, and all his actions just now were instinctive.

Soval looked out the window, and saw that it was snowing outside, and outside the stone house there were dense and dim lights.

These faint lights are colorful and numerous.

Qin Xia had already stood up from the ground and used his psychic vision to see that there were countless ferocious beasts outside.

There are even some zombies.

The residents of the eco-cities who were previously forcibly relocated into the wasteland by the empire became zombies after being infected with the virus. They tended not to stray too far from the eco-cities, but now they gathered around the beasts.

Those ferocious beasts were not all the wolf-like beasts that lived in groups that were seen yesterday. There were also some strange-looking ghost creatures that Qin Xia even found difficult to describe accurately.

The planet Caliban is close to the subspace rift, and supernatural phenomena are frequent.

In addition, Ouroboros, one of the three sacred artifacts, is on Caliban, and the northern wasteland is exactly where Ouroboros is located, so it is not surprising that all kinds of weird things and weird situations appear in this ghost place.

"It should be nothing." Soval said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a baby crying suddenly rang out.

Qin Xia discovered that the entire room was rapidly freezing, which was a manifestation of psychic energy eroding the structure of reality.

After hearing the baby's crying, his parents woke up immediately. At the same time, the wild beasts that were gradually approaching outside suddenly stopped after hearing the crying, looked around like humans, and then growled at the people in the house.

Soon, the head of a beast exploded.

The other beasts obviously wanted to turn around and run away, but after turning their heads, they suddenly turned their heads back.

"Something is controlling them." Qin Xia looked at Soval and said seriously, "They won't escape easily this time."

"There's a ghost trying to take my grandson away." Soval didn't look surprised.

Qin Xia realized that although Soval seemed to be able to talk about anything with her when they first met, he was still hiding some information.

Qin Xia could also tell from this that the old man was hiding something about his grandson. He was more vigilant about his grandson's affairs than he was about the Sirius Knights.

"Kid." Soval looked at Qin Xia, "Similar things have happened before, and we would run to the ruins to hide... but there weren't so many monsters before. You take my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson with you and take care of them. I'll stay with you to cover your retreat."

"No, I think a more appropriate way is for you to take your family to the ruins and leave some marks for me on the way. I will help you block these ghost things." Qin Xia said calmly.

Soval was about to argue when he saw a lot of dim light coming from the window behind the house.

Now Soval had nothing to say and just nodded to Qin Xia.
