Chapter 318 307. Obtaining the Sword
The Emperor saw clearly. When he stood there, patiently waiting for Cyrene's prayer, Hades poked his head out of the building curiously, and after a moment, he revealed his obvious expression of disgust.
Although the expression lasted for a very short time, this expression did appear on Hades's face.
The emperor had no expression on his face. He stood calmly in the night streets, listening to the cries and prayers of hundreds of millions of people in the Perfect City, and the sound of enlightenment in Cyrene. Then he raised his hand - a hazy golden
sound The light came on, and the next moment, Cyrene, who was sobbing softly, lowered his head. A forbidden soldier walked out from behind the emperor and took the unconscious lady away.
The Emperor raised his eyes lightly, the look of disgust on Hades's face now more obvious and undisguised, but he retracted it when he noticed the Emperor looking at him.
The emperor spoke in a calm voice,
"What did you find, Hades?"
"A suspicious middle-aged man standing in an alley, and a young woman kneeling at his feet crying." The
emperor looked at Hades . Si, Hades looked back at him, and there was a gust of wind in the alley at night.
The Emperor said,
"I already know that you have discovered the Blade of the Old Enemy, which is why I am standing here."
Hades sighed loudly, but after the Emperor walked in front of Hades, he still helped the Emperor Opened the hall door.
They walked past the nine-eyed Buddha statue, the sword stand with eight swords, the seven handfuls of wheat seedlings, and the six-cornered incense tent.
Every time you walk past an exhibit, a golden flame ignites, illuminating the dark wasteland and making a crackling sound.
Hades frowned and turned back, looking at the blazing exhibits. This was unnecessary...his black domain was already...
but this was the Emperor. Of course the Emperor could do what he wanted. Hades was only responsible for He brought it to the broken sculpture.
The old enemy sword was still there, and Hades did not dare to touch it. Even though the black realm had suppressed it and swallowed up the spiritual light, the pus was still gushing out, the kind of gushing that conformed to the laws of physics.
Just as Hades had done, the Emperor circled the broken sword embedded in the stone.
Hades stood aside, patiently waiting for the Emperor.
Finally, the Emperor returned to his original position, staring at the sword expressionlessly,
"Do you know what is going on, Neos?"
The Emperor paused for a moment, and then he shook it silently and slowly. Shake his head.
Hades raised his eyebrows, the Emperor didn't know? This is not good...
"You don't know either? Or do you know the origin of this sword and its use?"
The emperor's dark brown eyes looked at Hades calmly,
"I am not a god, and I am not omnipotent. , I am not omniscient. You may know better than me about the fate entangled with this sword, Hades."
Hades took a deep breath and scratched his head,
"Well, I thought you knew something - I didn't expect that a simple inspection could really catch big guys. I thought they were just some cultists or some small toys." Hades silently took a few steps forward,
staring at the sword. md, why does the obsidian pattern on it look like a variant of the Barbarian language - or did the Barbarian language itself evolve from it?
The Sword of the Old Enemy, in the original timeline, came from a civilization that negotiated cooperation with Moon Wolf - Intress. Intress was a highly developed human civilization with a brilliant culture, and most importantly - —The humans of this civilization know Chaos and have always fought against it.
But just when Moon Wolf was about to reach cooperation with this civilization, Erebus stole the sword of this civilization's old enemy and caused a series of chaos, which eventually led to the collapse of the negotiations between Moon Wolf and Entres, and the Empire had to destroy this civilization. civilization.
Through the operation of the Four Gods and Erebus, this sword came into the hands of Governor Devon. The Governor, who had already been blessed by Nurgle, took this sword and personally betrayed and stabbed Horus. The powerful Corruption Lord The power left Horus dying, and he was finally sent to the corrupted temple of the Four Gods by the overwhelmed Moon Wolves in a coma.
It can be said that in the story line of Horus, this sword represents the beginning of corruption.
Although Horus gradually became irritable and suspicious after becoming Warmaster, he was at least... loyal.
So what's going on? The sword of the old enemy is now in the hands of the empire. What are the four gods thinking? Or did Hades really make a mistake and succeed in cutting off the beard?
Hades stared at the sword and spoke slowly,
"I have two conjectures... The first is that we really caught a big fish this time." "
And the second..."
Hades He raised his eyes and looked back at the emperor, whose eyes were burning with calm golden anger.
"They are provoking us, as a taunt and response to our change of plans - they have received our resistance." The Emperor shook his
head gently,
"Hades, you are still unfamiliar with these scum."
"Don't be frightened by these unnecessary tricks. They have enough time and energy to choose and deploy. They have enough chess pieces - now it is just one they throw out casually." "It is, it is not
. , it meant it, it didn't mean it...none of that matters."
"The only thing that matters is that I will burn the City of Perfection, I will declare myself a god, I will build the Webway - paying attention to the other side's tricks will only make you fall into them A swamp of schemes, and they are good at and keen on this."
Hades hissed, could he say that this was the reason why the original emperor failed? The Emperor has an excessive... lack of attention to detail.
But on the other hand, what the emperor said seems to be right. If the four gods keep throwing out the chess codes in Hades's memory to distract him...then they might really be able to trap Hades.
Hades sighed, it seemed that he would need to be more adaptable in the future.
"Okay, I understand, Neos."
Hades waved his hand,
"Then what do we do with this sword? Did you burn it?"
The emperor shook his head,
"I can't burn it, there is no spirit on it. It's possible."
Hades blinked,
"Then you let the Imperial Guard take it away?"
"I refuse."
The Emperor replied decisively,
"Then...then we can't let this broken sword stay where it is?! You have to find a way to take it away and destroy it, right?"
The emperor looked at Hades silently, and he slowly said,
"Lord of the Silent Order, I think you can take it away."
Hades said desperately and unbelievably Looking at the emperor, as if betrayed,
"What do I need this thing for?"
"As the leader of the Silent Order, you have the responsibility to recycle and keep these items. Hades, this sword will not cause you any harm now." damage."
Obviously, Hades couldn't let his men pull out the sword. He didn't feel comfortable doing so, and he didn't have the courage to do so.
In the end, Hades walked to the broken sword as if he were dead. There were fragments of the God-Emperor sculpture scattered around. It was now so dark that almost no light could penetrate.
Hades calmed down his mood.
He stretched out his hand, tightly grasped the hilt of the broken sword, and pulled it out with force -
the sound of the chain was heard, and as the sword rose, the stone base completely cracked and disintegrated, and pus overflowed.
Hades turned around with the sword in hand, his face calmly looking like he was about to die.
"So you are here just to say a few words to me, Neos?"
The Emperor calmly took a few steps back, raised his hand, and the golden flame instantly burned away the pus.
"I also enlighten my followers - that's necessary."
"And what about the ordained lady, you're going to just make her a bishop or something?" "
She's going to wake up in her own home and think all this Just a dream."
I broke my promise, for the last time.
I will never update next time I ask for leave.
