Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 343 Divination of Kos, obtaining the idea of ​​"secret language"
Ninglu quickly reviewed the information he knew about Kos in his mind.

[Limited Star Region, Veredian System]

The blue-white star Veredia, a five-planet system.

Koss, a green continent, a blue ocean, and white clouds.

...]

Of the five hundred worlds in Nimrod's memory of Otrama, Kos is particularly special.

Robert Guilliman transformed much of the world in his country into an industrial world, and Coase not only boasts top-tier industrial capacity but also a beautiful environment.

Aside from Garden World Aix, Cos is the world with the most beautiful ecological environment.

Guilliman regarded Coss as a model, and before the Battle of Coss, he even planned to establish the Fifth Hero, based in Coss, and develop from there.

Ninglu's memories of the Veredian system flashed rapidly through his mind.

After recalling all the information he knew about Veredian, he silently recited it in his mind.

[Star map of Incaladion leading to the Veredian system.]

A star map from Incaladion to the Veredian system.

[…]
After reciting it silently eleven times, he stretched out his hand and threw the prophecy dice in his hand.

After tumbling several times in the air, the triangular cone fell downwards, landing in Ning Lu's outstretched hand. At that moment, a scene that looked like a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.

Ninglu recorded the star chart in the data crystal, then returned to the real world and had the "machine" John perform the divination.

He shared the information with Brainpower Cat through a telepathic link.

At John's home, his eyes shone brightly, and just as he had when divining in Tarasa, he decided to use dream divination.

He pulled out a piece of parchment with his left paw, and with his right paw he grasped a quill pen, writing swiftly:
[The Veredian Galaxy...]

John silently repeated the sentence to himself, writing down the information on the paper over and over again.

After eleven repetitions, the "machine" picked up the paper and leaned back on his wooden bed.

The machine conjured a ball of light in its mind, its eyes turned deep black, and it quickly entered a meditative state.

The surroundings suddenly became ethereal, and there seemed to be invisible things and colorful light extending endlessly above.

Images flashed through John's mind, and Nimrod examined them through the mental link.

Unlike Tarasa, he did not witness the alien invasion.

When the image showed a series of caves, he realized it was Kos.

Ninglu's eyes narrowed as he saw groups of primitive humans dressed in fur and wielding wooden spears, chasing wild beasts.

[Vast land, sparse population, and poor infrastructure—this is the current situation in Cowes.]
As Ning Lu pondered, the image disappeared, and he thought to himself.

Population is a major challenge for developing countries.

Hmm... I remember Koss was the retirement home for many auxiliary military veterans, both a reward for their service and...
A name came to mind.

Orl Persson, who later lived in Koss for eighteen years as a retired soldier.

As an immortal being and the oldest person, he has lived for 45,000 years, making him 7,000 years older than Huang Laohan.

Peisong was Huang Laohan's first war commander, but after Huang Laohan refused his attempt to destroy the dark knowledge held by the "Wendao School," Peisong was disappointed in him and stabbed him with a dagger.

After destroying Tallinn with "cryptic words," he successfully escaped.

During the "Great Expedition," he disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and mingled among the auxiliary troops, earning a piece of land in Kos for his meritorious service.

Persson was the emperor's greatest contributor to winning the Horus Rebellion and was posthumously canonized as a saint.

Old Man Huang is preparing to become the King of Darkness in order to win the battle against Horus Lupecal, the vessel of the Four Gods.

His friend Persson appeared before him, reminding him to rediscover his humanity.

After a heated exchange, Peison finally persuaded the stubborn old man Huang to pull his friend out of despair. Peison offered Huang a new way to win: placing the ritual dagger in his hand and then sacrificing his life to protect him before he regained consciousness.

The image of soldier Persson wielding a laser gun, facing Horus alone, is the most memorable ode to human courage for Nimrod.

Compared to Horus, his power was so insignificant that his laser beams failed to cause any damage.

Horus swung his claw, and Perzon was reduced to a pool of blood mist.

But he was also as majestic as a mountain, and it was he who allowed the human race to continue for more than 10,000 years.

Ning Lu snapped out of the shocking images in his mind and thought to himself.

I wonder if Pesson will still settle in Coss.

Is there any chance I'll get to see him?

Could we learn coded language from him?
Nimrod knew that “secret language” was an ancient language, but it was not used for communication; rather, it was used as a tool or weapon.

When “cryptic language” is spoken or written aloud, it is possible to manipulate the structure of reality.

Ninglu gathered his thoughts, arrived at the fourth level of space, spread his spirituality, and touched the fiery red orb.

He saw Sanchez in his office, holding a data tablet and handling official business.

The black mist engulfed Sanchez, pulling him into the "Land of Chaos".

Having experienced this several times before, Sanchez quickly realized what was happening. "My lord."

Ninglu flicked his wrist, using telekinesis to send the data crystal to Sanchez.

"Follow the star map inside and head to the Veredian system."

"The planet Coss within the galaxy has great potential for development, following the model of Triken."

Ninglu aims to develop Kos into a jewel of the Eastern Galaxy without damaging its environment.

"Asteroid Alamasta, which travels around the entire galaxy, is a giant rock similar to a large satellite, and it is suitable for development as a foundry."

In Ninglu's memory, Alamasta was not only the primary base of the oil makers in the Veredian system, but also the most important production base among the six neighboring systems, and should be vigorously developed.

"In addition, Lamané is rich in minerals, but it is not suitable for habitation as a mining world."

"The power of Veredian and Lavisol, rich in minerals and habitable, are positioned for the development of the industrial world."

"Isala is a livable world, and we should vigorously develop colonization."

Nimrod, thinking it might lure Orl Persson to Coss, began to speak:
"The biggest challenge to the development of Veredian is immigration. I will communicate with Makado to provide land for meritorious auxiliary soldiers."

With hundreds of millions of people in the auxiliary army, finding an immortal who has lived for countless years is almost impossible; attracting him to Kos is the only feasible strategy.

Compared to other places, Coase is more attractive, and Pesson may still choose to retire there.
Ninglu shifted from potential gains to definite rewards.

[Guilliman, I'm sorry.]

I've snatched six more of your worlds, including the jewel that is Koss.
The world of the Human Empire does not correspond to a planet; asteroids and satellites can also be considered as worlds.

The standard by which to measure the world is whether human populations exploit it.

If there are fifteen planets in a galaxy, but none of them are of developmental value, then they are just unclassified celestial bodies on the Milky Way star map.

Although Alamasta is an asteroid, its production capacity exceeds that of some smaller industrial worlds, making it a world in itself.

The same is true of Vostonia; besides its main star and the cradle of the sea, its satellite, which has developed into a shipyard, is also a world.

The Veredian system is a rare multi-world system, with five planets and one asteroid that have great potential for development.

"As you wish," Sanchez replied.

After returning to the real world, Ninglu summoned Arsena Dunn and Diana Pauline to discuss the war in Mitu.
