Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Chapter 80 The Emperor's Sudden Realization

At this moment, Cage peeked out from the side somewhat guiltily, weakly raised his hand and said, "The...the contract has been signed."

Carlson: "?"

He immediately asked Cage for the contract and looked at it carefully.

When Cage told him about what had happened these past few days, he also mentioned the contract.

He didn't pay attention then, but things are different now.

This guy on the other end is a major investor; if the contract is poorly worded, then he's really going to lose big time.

Carlson's face grew increasingly dark as he looked at the contents of the contract.

Looking at Cage, who seemed a little guilty next to him, he glared at him fiercely, saying, "You're really quick, kid."

There's nothing we can do; the contract has already been signed.

Especially the Emperor Cookie, which he cared about the most, was scanned by the guys after Cage sent it back and after the two sides met.

All of this indicates that this thing is a very good individual ration, and could even become one of the food sources for Astartes.

He tasted the few cookies that were left on Cage.

It's very filling, very satisfying, and also provides emotional comfort.

That's very strong.

I initially thought this wild psionicist had stumbled upon some kind of template in the wild, but who would have thought that after getting to know him, I realized he was truly the chosen one of the God Emperor.

Looking at the signed contract, its influence is very strong.

Carlson just wanted to beat Cage up.

This kid ruined a perfectly good investment opportunity.

Sighing, Carlson forced a smile and looked at Tie Hui enticingly, saying, "I wonder if you'd be interested in a business opportunity, little brother?"

Tie Hui: "?"

……

Within subspace.

This place is the sea of ​​souls of billions of living beings. The accumulation and mixing of emotions over billions of years has long turned this place into a chaotic land.

At this moment, a massive, heavily armored cruiser, along with five escort ships and five destroyers, is rapidly navigating within subspace.

On the bridge of the flagship, Cato Sicarius looked at the hand-drawn portrait and coordinate information given to him by his father, Guilliman.

He was a little troubled at the moment, even though the coordinates were correct.

Moreover, their journey through the subspace went smoothly, but for some reason, after traveling halfway through, they encountered more and more strange phenomena.

Their fleet encountered no fewer than five abandoned spaceships.

If they hadn't used their firepower and emergency evasive maneuvers to stop these abandoned ships, their entire fleet would probably have been swallowed up and merged with the space wreckage.

They even encountered other ships later, but due to the influence of the subspace, they only passed by briefly.

The Star Speakers had already detected it, and according to their analysis, the ships' target and the place they were heading to seemed to be the same.

The warp journey was very smooth, and they didn't even encounter the warp creatures they usually encounter during voyages.

But isn't this a bit too stable?

He had never encountered anything so bizarre in his career as an Astartes.

Coupled with the smooth journey through subspace, he became increasingly convinced that the figure in the portrait his father had given him was definitely a living saint chosen by the God-Emperor.

Just like Celestine, I wonder if she'll grow wings.

Judging from the portrait, it's a man, and quite handsome at that.

hiss……

Cato Sicarius made this assessment, but then a question suddenly occurred to him.

For a moment, he stroked his chin, looked at the portrait in his hand, and fell into thought.

I wonder what will happen when this guy is with Celestine?

hiss……

The moment the question popped into his mind, Cato Sicarius gasped.

At the same time, he hurriedly repented and prayed to the emperor in his heart, which was simply a very disrespectful thought.

After praying once, I couldn't help but recall Celestine's appearance.

His face was refined and aloof, with flowing silver hair that exuded holiness, heroism, and a sense of sacredness.

It's still very pretty.

If they really got together...

hiss……

My sin! My sin! My sin!

But this problem lingered in his mind like a leech.

After each prayer to the emperor, he couldn't help but think about the conditions under which the two of them would be together or their future life.

But after a short while, he realized what had happened and hurriedly prayed and cried out his sins.

And so, torn between his aunt’s laughter and his prayers of sin, Cato Sicarius led his entire fleet at breakneck speed toward the world of Vorda.

Meanwhile, in the warp, the Emperor, busy with his own affairs, was also keeping an eye on Cato Sicarius from time to time.

When I suddenly sensed that this guy was praying very regularly, and that it was a prayer for the expiation of sins.

He was a little confused, and then focused his attention on this guy!

Then, he was so amazed that he stood there stunned for a moment.

A few seconds later, as if suddenly realizing something, he slammed his hands down and grinned broadly.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

He immediately turned his attention to Celestine, whose dashing appearance left a deep impression on him.

The Emperor considered Tie Hui's aesthetic sense and felt it was necessary to revamp Celestine's image before letting the two meet.

"Hmph—"

At that moment, Sellers, who was reporting to Guilliman about his praise of the Emperor's greatness, suddenly sneezed without warning.

For a moment, the two people in the room were stunned.

Guilliman looked up from his work, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Really? A cold?"

Cyrusin shook her head blankly, touching her slightly itchy nose. "I don't know!"

Standing in front of the rapidly being built factory site, Tie Hui rubbed his itchy nose, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Cage stood beside him, wearing a yellow hard hat that he'd somehow gotten his hands on, and looked at Tie Hui with a comical expression, holding a construction drawing.

"No way? A cold?"

Tie Hui shook his head: "Probably some bastard is nagging me again."

Cage nodded and adjusted his helmet.

This was Tie Hui's request; I don't know where this guy got this strange rule from.

This thing isn't even as sturdy as a Star Guardian helmet.

Looking back at the rapidly constructing production factory, Tie Hui asked, "The factory will be completed in another half month. If the first batch of Imperial Cookies meets the standards, the subsequent production will be approximately 600 tons per Terra calendar month. However, raw materials are a problem; the consumption is enormous. Furthermore, the state priests and Star Speakers will need to perform daily prayers here."

At this point, a look of melancholy appeared on Cage's face.

They were able to quickly determine the production method and potential data for this type of cookie through scanning and several sets of experiments.

But the mysterious ability to buff people is what really messes with them.
