Chapter 136 128. On a calm day, with two children, the golden
moss-green gleaming light shines from the floor-to-ceiling windows that cover the entire room. Looking down from the huge star ring, Barbarus is a star. Beautiful emerald.
The originally huge room was now covered with cables and various parts. Countless small dark black components were neatly placed on the floor. The servo arm hanging from the ceiling stretched out from time to time to accurately pick up a part.
In the middle of the room, in the center of the circle formed by countless parts, a black obelisk stands.
In front of it, Hades was dressed in the simplest technical sergeant uniform, with strong muscles. Behind the work vest, a ferocious Mechanicum skull loomed above it.
The Seiko backpack was hung on the back, and the plasma cutter protruded from it, emitting blue flames.
For a moment, the entire room was silent except for the rustling sound of Hades who was trying to make repairs in the center.
After an unknown amount of time, Hades stopped what he was doing. He scratched his chin with his hand and stared at the obelisk in front of him in deep thought.
He could make a rough repair. The previous reckless operation only caused part of the circuit to be burned. As long as the cable was replaced, the black stone obelisk could be restarted again.
As long as it can generate an anti-psionic field, Hades won't be able to use other functions for the time being.
It's just that the material that makes up this cable is too weird, like some kind of plastic crystal that is extremely compatible with psychic energy. Hades searched the material library and couldn't find any similar material.
In desperation, Hades had to choose the stupidest way, which was to try one by one, and finally found a material that could barely conduct energy. Although the effect was not as good as the original, it could be used after all.
Hades raised his head and looked at the black stone obelisk. He thought that as long as the materials were suitable, he might be able to make a rubbish version of the obelisk.
Okay, let's go see where we can get some black stone.
Hades stretched, feeling refreshed by the long and continuous mechanical work.
He first pressed the communication button and planned to ask Jin to prepare some food for him, and also asked Jin to notify the great sages to find a time to go to Barbarus to test the power of the black stone obelisk.
After briefly writing an obelisk report, Hades opened the door and prepared to see how the work of counting Barbarus recruits was going.
"Bang!"
?
Without killing intent, Hades felt something hit his calf.
"Little Herrera, you can't-"
In the distance of the corridor, Jin was holding Harder in one hand and holding food in the other, running at top speed.
A bunch of question marks and exclamations on the gold display screen.
Hades lowered his head and saw little Herrera holding a bowl of noodles.
"Brother Hades, try it!"
Originally, one of the two children was going to be thrown to the Undertaker and the other to the Sisters of Silence, but now the Death Guard's Undertaker and the main force are still in Galaspa. Sister Silence's black ship won't be able to get through for a while.
In order to prevent accidents and recall all the experiences on Barbarus, Hades first took over the two children.
At that time, Mortarion stared at the two children with great interest for a long time, almost making Harder cry again.
Afterwards, Hades asked Mortarion why he kept staring at the two children and whether he had discovered something abnormal, and the answer he received was quite Mortarion.
"Because it's fun."
Hades rolled his eyes.
However, the Death Guards in the Barbarus Star Territory are currently quite busy. Some are responsible for recruiting soldiers, while others have spread out to continue searching for the pharmacist Laton.
He originally planned to ask a legion servant to take care of the two children, but to his surprise, someone volunteered, and that was Jin
.
King is currently still sorting out the various properties and affairs left behind by Kirkland Sage, as well as taking over and maintaining various relationships with Kirkland Sage.
Compared to others in the legion, it can be considered relatively easy.
Hades didn't think much, so he asked Jin to take them. By the way, he could also let Jin teach these two Barbarus brats some common knowledge about the empire. After all, there was no such thing as a school for Barbarus.
As for the death of the sage, Hades could not help but sigh with emotion, but the sage who sent Jin a complete set of information before his death must have already had his own realization.
Death is very common, and it will only become more common in the future, except Sage, thousands of Skitarii also died on that planet.
The smell of rice interrupted Hades's thinking. Hades sniffed, um... a familiar smell.
Little Herrera looked at Hades expectantly. Ever since this older brother brought her and her younger brother to the Star Ring, they had simply entered a paradise.
Because the adults are very busy, even Jin, who volunteered, kept them free-range, telling them stories for a while every day, and then throwing them into the duel cage to play.
The two of them just made wild gestures with their lightest swords.
From time to time, Death Guards would enter the duel cage to duel, and the two children would obediently sit on the seats under the cage, cheering and exclaiming.
After the adults finished practicing, they would sometimes teach them a move or a half, and then stand aside, watching their movements, muttering something unknown.
Because they were children chosen by Hades himself, and the siblings' physiques were really rare, the Death Guard currently knew of the existence of these two children.
In a sense, Harder is the first recruit to pass in this batch of recruitment.
Today, when the two children heard that the big brother who brought them here finally came out, they ran to the servitor decisively, planning to make something to eat to thank Hades.
Hades raised the bowl of noodles handed over by Little Herrera and took a deep breath -
the bad texture and weird taste swept through his mouth.
Why would a subtle inheritance be formed in a place like this?
Hades wanted to cry without tears.
"How's it going? Big brother?"
Little Herrera stared at him with bright eyes.
"It tastes good. You have a talent for cooking."
Hades forced out an encouraging smile.
Seeing that little Herrera wanted to ask again, fortunately Jin arrived in time to save him.
"Little Herrera, you have to respect adults!"
Jin skillfully moved over with his other limbs, stretched out his other limb, pulled Little Herrera back, and lifted her into the air to prevent her from continuing to mess around.
As King himself approached little Herrera, strange emotions that were familiar to him and made him happy began to run at the base of logic.
What everyone except Jin didn't know was that since the death of Sage Kirkland, Jin found that he suddenly liked being touched by the anti-psionic field. This feeling... very comfortable? And this is why he chose to take care of these two children.
But after getting along with these two naturally born children, Jin felt that he was beginning to understand and realize what another kind of incomplete life was like.
All in all, even if little Herrera wasn't untouchable, Kim would now choose to take care of these two children.
The children are easy to understand. After getting along with each other, Jin has already understood their personalities. Her elder sister, Herrera, is a rough and mature child, while her younger brother, Hader, is much more delicate and sensitive.
"Sir, the sages replied that they can go to Barbarus with you tomorrow."
Jin reported the work skillfully, and then decisively handed over the food in his hand. Based on Hades's performance, Jin guessed the difficulty of the bowl of noodles. The level of eating should be in the column of "Man and God share the anger".
Little Herrera was still trying to break free from the suspended mechanical arm, but when she saw her younger brother Harder, who was being held by Jin, giving her a worried look, she made a face and started to pretend to be dead.
Hades glanced at Jin gratefully, took the Death Guard's standard white porridge, and while eating, asked about other matters of the Death Guard.
While he was in seclusion repairing the Black Stone Obelisk, the registration process for the Death Guard recruitment came to an end. Soon, they would be able to conduct the first round of selection.
