Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 281: Alvin is a businessman without fraud! ( words)

The 'Iron Rebellion' is a permanent scar in the history of the Human Empire. As early as the era when the Emperor walked, it was defined as a 'forbidden' technology!

Anyone who is found researching the 'Iron Man' will be sentenced to death, and all the research results will be burned and destroyed without any effort!
Even the 'Mechanicus', which is one of the most powerful factions in the Empire, has different opinions on the issue of the 'Iron Man'. But at least on the surface, everyone's attitude towards the 'Iron Man' is to rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!

After all, no one wants to repeat the tragedy of the "Iron Rebellion" again. Even within the Mechanicus, the Forge World of Huangquan No. 8, which is considered the most radical and obsessed with the Dark Ages, only dares to conduct research in secret.

In order to destroy relevant evidence, the technical priests of Huangquan No. 8 even went so far as to obstruct the Inquisition and the Space Marines of "Death Watch" from invading the database of the Ministry of the Interior!

In ancient Holy Terra, there is a saying that can aptly describe the behavior of Huangquan No. 8.

Some things cannot be weighed and are not as heavy as two ounces.

But once you get on the scale, you can’t even weigh 2,000 kilograms!

As long as it is not brought to the table and the faces of the major forces are not torn apart, and the tacit understanding between each other is maintained, no matter how big the matter is, it can be resolved privately. But if "evidence" is found, it is equivalent to tearing apart the faces.

Because of this, when Drexel saw the "Iron Man", he was shocked for more than ten seconds, but his expression changed immediately when he turned around.

What is heresy and what is not heresy?
As long as it is not discovered, it is equivalent to nothing!
It is quite reasonable for Ronin Merchants to resell the 'Iron Man', especially since their dynasty has lasted for thousands of years and is personally recognized by the Emperor!
He didn't find it strange that such an ancient dynasty would produce relics from the Dark Ages.

It is even more reasonable for traveling traders to resell the 'Iron Man'. Besides, they are a 'Dynasty', so isn't it normal for them to produce such a relic from the Dark Ages?
"I finally understand..." Drexel swallowed his saliva, and his fanatical emotions subsided a little. He turned to look at Alvin meaningfully: "No wonder, even though Valshus has fallen, the great forging sage of Mars would come forward to protect you."

The Great Sage of Forging of the Martian Mechanicus is one of the High Lords of Holy Terra!

"That's great, so your answer is..."

Alvin lowered his eyes. Although he had guessed it long ago, he was still a little shocked when he actually heard it.

It turned out that the big man behind old man Horn was actually the Great Sage of Mars. No wonder he dared to make such a big fuss in Roselle, but the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and even the State Religion did not react at all.

"This is a gift from the great Om Messiah..." Drexel stroked the iron man with an obsessed look on his face. "It's too perfect. No mechanical priest can refuse it, right?"

Hooked.

Sometimes, dealing with mechanical priests is much easier than dealing with nobles.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have a background. Otherwise, given the style of the Mechanical Priests, they don't mind using violence directly. After all, they have the power of the Crusaders. The Mechanical Priests are not vegetarians, and neither are the Crusaders.

Moreover, Huangquan No. 8... has a Titan Legion!

"what do you want?"

Drexlis went straight to the point and was too lazy to waste any more time. He couldn't wait to study this "Iron Man" intelligent machine!

He knew very well that this was a huge 'deal'!
Not to mention how much can be researched out of this 'Iron Man' intelligent machine, its value alone is enough to raise his position in Huangquan No. 8 to a higher level!
This is not an iron man at all, it is clearly his future! It is his future!
When he thought of this, Drexel could hardly control his surging emotions. He stared at the 'Iron Man' with fanatical eyes and stroked it carefully, as if he was treating a beloved lover: "As long as it is something I can give, no matter what... I can give it to you!"

Seeing this scene, Alvin was not surprised at all.

Mechanical priests, especially those of Huangquan No. 8, are actually similar to "senior otakus". As long as they encounter something they like, they will do anything for it.

The corners of Alvin's lips slightly raised, with a gleam in his eyes, like a beast with fangs bared: "No, no, no... I've already said it, Mr. Drexel, we are 'friends'."

In the surprised eyes of Drexel, he said leisurely: "Since we are friends, we should not be so vulgar. This 'Iron Man' is a gift from me... to my friend. What do you think?"

"Such a big ambition..."

Although Drexel was tempted, he was not blinded by the benefits and shook his head: "You are too ambitious to exchange an 'Iron Man' for my friendship... I dare not agree to it."

He understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Moreover, judging from Alvin's behavior, this guy was not a good person either!

It sounds good, like a free gift for friends... Haha, if you really agree, who knows how much it will cost to be his friend?
The shrewd Drecris didn't want to have anything to do with 'Valxius'. He would rather pay a higher price than sell himself out for an 'Iron Man'!
"That's such a pity..." Alvin sighed, but he was not discouraged and smiled, "Since you are unwilling to accept my friendship, then this Iron Man... I can only take it back temporarily. Maybe 'someone' will be more interested in it and won't mind my friendship?"

His main product is just one, and it is impossible to sell it unless everyone 'makes friends'.

Drexel was so angry that he gritted his teeth. How could he not hear the implicit meaning of Alvin's words? If you don't want it, he will go find Rosales!

What certain people?

It's clearly the Dark Mechanicus!

Cunning boy... Drexel cursed inwardly, with a helpless look on his face: "Well, I have to admit that I really need this Iron Man... Just tell me straight, what do you want?"

"Titan?"

Alvin said half jokingly.

"Are you crazy? Or am I?" Drexel sneered and pointed at the door: "No, I don't want you anymore, Iron Man. Let's see who dares to agree to your request!"

What a joke! Even the Dark Mechanicus next door would never agree to this condition unless they are crazy!
"Okay, just a little joke."

Alvin shrugged. He knew it was impossible, but he just wanted to try it out just in case. "You should be very clear about the current situation in the Celerus Nest, right?"

"I know. What's wrong?" Drexel didn't quite understand why the topic changed so quickly. "If you are worried about safety, I can assure you that there will be no danger. This is the territory of Huangquan No. 8!"

Drekris was confident when he said this. After all, the core casting area of ​​Celerus hides a warrior-class Titan. If the situation really reaches an irreversible point, Huangquan No. 8 will let those damned heretics see what is called... the wrath of Om Messiah!

"No, I mean... I have a way to solve the current dilemma." Alvin said calmly: "Mr. Drexel, this is the area you are in charge of. If it is severely damaged by those heretics, it will surely affect your reputation, right?"

"tell me the story."

Drechsler suddenly became curious. If it did not affect the exploration progress and Titan's defense, he would be happy to repel those heretics.

Alvin came closer and whispered a few words. Drexel's eyes flickered slightly and he asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this method is really feasible?"

"Of course, as long as you agree, we can order the Astra Militarum, Space Marines, and Skitarii not to interfere." Alvin smiled and said, "Then the situation will be much eased."

Drekris groaned for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, but I can't give orders directly. You should understand...what the Empire's attitude is towards heretics."

"Oh, by the way... there's one more thing." Alvin hugged Drexel enthusiastically, looking familiar, and said with a smile: "There's one more thing. As a friend... you won't refuse, right?"

Drechs was already having a headache. The price of this "friend" was too high. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"An elite Crusader Army, with at least a thousand men and heavy equipment. Of course, it would be even better if there were a few Leman Russ tanks," Alvin said with a shameless smile.

"..."

Even Drexel was frightened by Alvin's big mouth. He stared at him and said, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible!"

He doesn't have much heavy equipment, Leman Russ, and elite Crusaders of a thousand men. If he really gave them to Alvin, how would he protect himself?
"Don't be so hasty to refuse, Mr. Drexel, aren't we friends?" Alvin shamelessly grabbed Drexel who was trying to escape: "Since we are friends, we should help each other, right?"

"No need to talk. The price of being your friend is too high." Drexel sneered, "Why don't you just take the Iron Man back?"

"What if I say... I can give you a technology from the golden age of mankind?" Alvin calmly brought out his tried-and-true trick.

That’s right, it’s the golden human again!
As expected, upon hearing this word, Drexel's struggles became less intense, and he stared at him suspiciously: "Are you sure, this is the technology left over from the golden age?"

"I swear on the name of Valsius!"

Alvin immediately raised his finger, looking very confident: "It is definitely the technology of the Golden Humans, and it is a study on the 'space-time' level!"

The brand of Valsius obviously still has some credibility... Well, for now, it is temporarily, but as for the future, that's hard to say.

Drechsler was skeptical and still a little hesitant. On the one hand, the price he paid was too high, and on the other hand, it was difficult for him to resist the temptation of the golden human.

"The relics... are on the Sentinel Planet?" Drexelis is not stupid. Since Alvin dares to say so, it means that the relics of the golden humans must be on this planet.

"Yes, it's inside the largest Vorian sandstorm vortex on the Vigilant Planet." Alvin didn't mind and directly stated the specific location: "This was found by the ancestors of my Valshus family a long time ago, but unfortunately they were unable to take it away due to some reasons."

"Aren't you afraid that I will reject you and go look for it myself?" Drexlis felt that something was wrong. There was something strange. With the boy's smartness, he shouldn't tell the specific location so directly, unless... there was a problem!

"Well, I still can't hide it from you." Alvin pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "In fact, there are defense measures from the Golden Age in there. Although my ancestors have map instructions, now... you also know that we lack strength, so we come to you for cooperation!"

No wonder... Drexel suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a little proud, but still hesitant, not wanting to pay such a high price: "But, isn't the risk too great?"

"Mr. Drexel, think about it... that's the technology of the Golden Humans!" Alvin once again used his best skill of 'Seduction' and whispered in the ear of the hesitant Mechanical Priest: "You should know better than me how much value this contains!"

"Are you willing to stay on the Vigilant Planet for the rest of your life and be an unknown mechanical sage?"

"Don't you want to become a true forging sage and rule your own forging world?"

"Think about it, Lord Drakeris."

"With your current qualifications, how many years will it take before you can have a forging world of your own? But now, you only need to pay a small price to save decades or even hundreds of years!"

"There won't be another chance like this next time... Mr. Drexel."

After a few minutes of silence, Drexlis was moved. He had to admit that what Alvin said made sense. If he didn't take a gamble, he would never have the hope of becoming a Forging Sage in his life!
If you want to gamble, gamble big!
With the evidence of the 'Iron Man', Drexelis already believed Alvin. In this case... he raised his head suddenly, with a bit of madness: "Okay, I promise you, I will allocate 5,000 Skitarii and 50 Leman Russ equipped with heavy firepower. I hope you won't let me down, my friend!"

Oh my goodness, this is... all in?!
Alvin was shocked by Drexel's courage.

You know, the total number of Skitarii in the entire Celerus Nest is only about 50,000. To mobilize one-tenth of them at one time is already the limit of Drecris without affecting the defense of the Titans!

If anything goes wrong, Drexel will be blamed and everyone, no matter how high or low, will be turned into a robot servant!
It can be seen how tempting a forging world is to the mechanical priest!
But unfortunately... Alvin smiled, with something hidden in his heart: the golden human relic that Drexel was expecting would most likely be slightly different from what he imagined.

Using ten 'Space Bridge' transfer devices in exchange for the 'Void Claws', thousands of Skitarii, dozens of Leman Russ tanks, and heavy equipment... This deal is totally worth it!

What? Profiteer?

Stop joking. There is no businessman without dishonesty. What's more, he is a traveling merchant, so how can he not cheat people?
After making a happy decision, Alvin was in high spirits. Just as he came out of Drexel's Foundry Temple, he suddenly felt the earth shaking!
Then, he saw a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky and hovering in the southeast of the nest area. The terrifying spiritual energy contained in it swept and raged like a storm, dyeing the sky into... a weird purple!

"I... grass?!"

Alvin's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils seemed to be trembling, and he felt as if his throat was blocked by something: "Psychic energy... exploded?!"

In the first two chapters, I wanted to write about the transformation of the protagonist and lay the groundwork, but my writing skills are limited and it doesn’t look good to everyone… I will polish it a little bit. The protagonist is not a coward. Jianqi personally went to the scene, so it is normal for him to hesitate for a few seconds. I will correct it in the future. There should be another chapter in the evening, but it will be late. I am really sorry…
