Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 30 Governor of Planet Hadley
Three days have passed since we arrived at Zhongzhen.

Life under someone else's roof is so comfortable.

After delivering the items ordered by Father Aruman and stacking them neatly in the warehouse, Alvin finished his work.

His main job is to carry some goods, which is not heavy. In fact, compared with going down to the nest, it can be said to be easy and comfortable.

Originally, he thought that there would be no reward. After all, the Mechanical Priest took him in and was willing to give him a stable job and a residence permit, which was already the greatest help.

But unexpectedly, Father Aruman still paid him 10 crowns per day according to the standard daily wage of Zhongsu.

Considering that Alvin had just come up from the nest and most likely had no money in his pocket, Father Aruman even advanced him half a month's salary for his daily food expenses.

Although Father Aruman sometimes has a bad temper, shouting "Ohm Messiah" and speaking a lot of High Gothic mixed with binary language profanity, at heart, Father Aruman is an undeniably good person.

In the 40K universe, which is full of monsters and demons, people like Father Aruman are truly rare.

However, the only thing that confused Alvin was that when Father Aruman looked at him, there was always a kind of complex emotion that was difficult to understand.

"The Mechanical Priest wouldn't like that, would he?"

Whenever he thought of this, Alvin couldn't help but shudder and immediately stopped such blasphemous thoughts.

No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible!

The Mechanicus is not Christianity, and the priest is not a priest, so how could he have that kind of fetish?
Even if we take a step back and say that the priest of the Mechanicus really has a hobby, it should be a special liking for machines!

"There's not much left today, you can rest early."

Father Aruman was not aware of the "blasphemous" thoughts in Alvin's head. After checking the goods in the warehouse, he asked for half a day off.

"Thank you, Father Aruman."

Alvin was slightly startled, and shook off the blasphemous thoughts in his head.

He could take this opportunity to go shopping in Zhongzu and buy some supplies. Maybe he would get some unexpected surprises?

"Go."

Father Aruman moved slowly, turned and walked towards the side door.

Inside was the technical priest's forging workshop, filled with all kinds of weapons and mechanical creations. Although Alvin looked at them with envy, he also knew what could be done and what could not be done.

Father Aruman treated him well. If he really did this, wouldn't he be an ungrateful person?
Retracting his gaze, Alvin walked out of the church.

"and many more."

Just as Alvin was about to step out of the church, he was stopped by Father Aruman.

"Father Aruman, is there anything I can help you with?" He muttered to himself, turned to look at Aruman, and waited for his next words.

Father Aruman walked over slowly and took out two 500-kroner notes from his arms: "The Gro steak at 105 Fernand Street is delicious. When you come back, remember to bring me a portion and a bottle of Amasek. The rest of the money is at your disposal."

"I understand, Father Aruman."

Alvin reached out and took the two bills, folded them in half and stuffed them into his inner pocket before leaving the temple.

Amasek is the most famous liquor in the Empire. It is produced in all major worlds, but the tastes vary greatly.

What he didn't expect was that the priest of the Mechanicus would actually like this.

He didn't like wine very much, but the Gro steak mentioned by Father Aruman made Alvin's mouth salivate, and he couldn't help swallowing subconsciously.

Gro steak is made from Grox, the most common livestock in the empire. It has a unique flavor and is juicy. It is a substitute for steak and is very popular among the working class. After passing through several alleys, Alvin suddenly realized that there were a lot of people on the street today.

There were crowds of people, and everyone seemed to have a common purpose, rushing in the same direction. Alvin was a little curious for a moment, so he stopped a passerby and asked, "Uncle, is there anything important happening today? Why are all the people out?"

"Young man, you've just arrived in Zhongsui, right?"

The elderly man smiled, looked Alvin up and down, and said with pride: "Today, the great Governor of Planet Hadley will lead his guards to review the city of the sun. This is a once-a-year ceremony, and no one wants to miss this opportunity."

Governor of Planet Hadley?

Hearing this name, Alvin was stunned for half a second. Isn't this the person Tucker suspects?
"Uncle, can you tell me about the governor of Planet Hadley?" Alvin acted as if he had never seen the world and stuffed another 20 crowns into the old man's pocket.

Holding the two crown coins, the old man showed a happy expression on his face. This was equivalent to two days' salary. So he cleared his throat and began to talk about the Governor of Planet Hadley.

"Young people, you are born in a good era."

"Fifty years ago, Roselle was actually very poor. Because the empire's taxes were too high, many planetary governors were replaced until Governor Hadley took office."

"Lord Hadley is extraordinary. Not long after taking office, he solved the empire's taxation, encouraged everyone to work, and created many jobs. This is how he built the originally barren Roselle step by step into what it is today. Not only did he reduce our taxes, but he also increased everyone's income."

"Everyone in Zhongzhen is very grateful to Governor Hadley, so every year when Governor Hadley holds the parade, many people will spontaneously come to participate."

"Is a military parade like this held every year?" Alvin was a little surprised.

"Of course. Don't underestimate our Roselle planetary defense force. They are all elites!" The old man came over quietly and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret. My neighbor's child was selected from our Roselle planetary defense force to become a star army!"

Alvin became more and more confused. The Governor Hadley he heard from the old man seemed to be different from what Tucker described.

One is an old fox who is suspected of secretly supporting the development of the cult and is far-sighted; the other is a governor who loves his people and is diligent and honest. Which one is the real one?
"No more talking, the military parade is about to begin."

The old man left in a hurry, and Alvin came to his senses and immediately followed him.

The crowd was so overwhelming that he estimated that most of the population of Zhongzu had gathered in front of the main gate of Zhongzu today.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Three dull bell tolls echoed in the sky above Sudu.

"Is this the bell of the state religion?"

Although he had never heard it before, the melodious and dull bell sounds mixed with sacred hymns were like holy water that cleansed the soul, shaking Alvin from the depths of his soul.

Then, he saw the gate of the Su City, which was hundreds of meters high, slowly opening with the sound of heavy iron bolts and mechanical operation.

An absolutely luxurious hovercraft, escorted by ceremonial guards on both sides, slowly drove into the spacious and spotless streets of the city.

Flowers fell like raindrops, and under the sacred hymns, an army of ten thousand people followed closely behind the hovercraft.

At this time, two figures on the hovercraft caught Alvin's attention.

One of them was older, and although he looked old, his back was still straight. He was wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothing and had a jewel-encrusted duel sword on his waist. His posture was majestic and solemn.

Obviously, this person is the rumored governor of Planet Hadley!
Next to the Governor of Planet Hadley stood a young man with fair skin and a slightly gloomy look.

The moment he saw the 'young man', Alvin felt as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and his head buzzed!
If it had not been previously established, the Hadley family had ties to the cult.

So, at this moment.

The petals scattered on both sides of the street, and the countless people burst into thunderous cheers;
As the bells of the Anglican Church echoed and millions of people shouted the name of the Governor of Planet Hadley, Alvin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with a chill running through his body and freezing to the bone!
Just because of the noble young man standing next to the Governor of Planet Hadley, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had handsome features.

It was the evil 'psychic' that Alvin had witnessed in the Lower Nest Industrial Zone!
