Chapter 70: Crying to death, he is simply too loyal!

~7 min read 1,344 words

When they came out of the dilapidated hotel, the Tech-Priest, known for his calmness, couldn't help but use binary language to scold that stupid, conservative Inquisitor.

To be honest, Alvin had never seen a Tech-Priest who could be angered to this extent.

Even when Taker was disrespectful back then, shouting "gear boy", it didn't make Magos Aluman so angry, which showed how much resentment he had towards that Inquisitor.

Aluman swore to the Omnissiah that he really wanted to grab that Inquisitor by the collar and ask loudly: In your brain, besides evidence, don't you know how to be flexible?

But unfortunately... he knew that if he really did that, what would greet him would absolutely be a bolter shell.

In fact, from a personal point of view, Aluman could understand that Inquisitor's cautious attitude.

After all, not all Inquisitors can be so decisive, killing the cult in the cradle before it spreads on a large scale.

In fact, unlike many people's imagination of Inquisitors.

Inquisitors nominally do not have classes, but there is indeed a division of levels within, and often the newly appointed Inquisitors do not have the power they imagine.

Being able to mobilize the Astra Militarum and even the Imperial Navy with one sentence is purely dreaming.

Even if the Departmento Munitorum and the Administratum are stupid again, they will not let a newly recognized Inquisitor master such huge power.

This is a very classic misunderstanding.

Because not every Imperial Inquisitor is named: Eisenhorn!

And Winnie Winslet... in Aluman's understanding, the biggest impression of her is Charles Gransol's direct disciple.

It is obvious that Winnie Winslet is a newly appointed Inquisitor!

Even with Gransol as a mentor, the power and influence that can be mobilized are far inferior to her mentor.

Newly appointed Inquisitors, under normal circumstances, do not have the qualifications to mobilize any Imperial troops without sufficient evidence.

It should be known that how much influence an Inquisitor has often depends on personal reputation.

And Inquisitors who abuse their power, don't know how to keep a low profile, and talk about burning heretics all day long are basically executed by the Inquisition internally very quickly.

Therefore, personal reputation is quite important to Inquisitors. After all, you can't expect the Empire, or even various Planetary Governors, to believe an Inquisitor who talks about burning heretics all day long, right?

Winnie Winslet's qualifications are insufficient, and her personal influence is almost non-existent.

If you have to talk about influence, unless you borrow the name of her mentor 'Gransol', otherwise no Astra Militarum, or even Navy, or Astartes Chapter will be willing to pay attention to an Inquisitor who has just been appointed and has no qualifications, unless 'evidence is conclusive'.

But from the discussion just now, Aluman keenly noticed that Winnie Winslet was unwilling to use the influence of her mentor, Gransol.

After waiting for Aluman to finish venting, Alvin asked half-helplessly: "Magos Aluman, what should we do next?"

Aluman was silent for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped, and stared at Alvin.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Alvin to read the four words 'ill-intentioned' from the expression of a Tech-Priest.

But Magos Aluman's straight gaze made him feel a cold wind blowing on the back of his head.

"Uh..."

Alvin was silent for a few seconds and asked tentatively: "Magos Aluman, did you think of a way?"

"There is a way, but... it's quite dangerous." Aluman seemed to hesitate, making a fierce choice in his heart, considering whether to say it.

"If I can eliminate the cult in advance, I am willing to take some risks." Alvin answered without hesitation.

It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death, but if the cult was allowed to develop, the risk would be greater in the future. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it was better to fight for it!

Besides, even if there is really a risk, it's a big deal to hide in the Marvel Universe for a few days.

"Are you really willing?" Aluman stopped, as if looking at Alvin for the first time, and his low, hoarse voice suddenly became much more serious: "You have to understand, this is not a joke with you. Once you really do this, the risk is not a little bit!"

However, facing Magos Aluman's serious questioning tone, Alvin's performance could be described as light and breezy.

He looked at Magos Aluman, smiled lightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Magos, even if I don't do it, isn't there a risk?"

Under the overturned nest, are there any whole eggs?

Once the cult's power invades the Hive City and tears the material universe with evil rituals.

The power of the Chaos Gods from the Warp pours out. Regardless of who wins in the end, the price is that the entire Hive City will be reduced to ruins!

Even, if Chaos and the Empire fight too fiercely, waking up the sleeping Necrons in the tomb, by then, the three-party melee, it is estimated... the entire surface of the planet will be washed by macro-cannons, and describing it as not a blade of grass growing is considered conservative.

In order not to let such terrible things happen, Alvin decided that even if it was risky, he had to control the scale of the cult as much as possible, trying not to let the war expand.

So as not to wake up that group of... sleeping Necrons.

Seeing Alvin's 'determination', Aluman seemed to be shocked, to the point of giving birth to a trace of admiration: "I didn't expect that you, who came from the Underhive, could be so loyal to the Emperor, even after ten thousand years, the glory still flows in your blood!"

He originally thought that Alvin, who came from the Underhive, could not have such courage.

But now it needs to be corrected. Although the young man came from the Underhive, both his courage and his loyalty to the Emperor were enough to prove... the blood flowing in his body did not live up to the glory of ten thousand years ago, and did not live up to that great surname!

Loyalty, he is too loyal!

Aluman's eyes looking at Alvin couldn't help but mix with a trace of heat.

"Ah?"

Alvin was confused, and felt uncomfortable all over by Magos Aluman's 'hot' eyes, as if bitten by lice.

What is called: after ten thousand years, the glory still flows in the blood?

"No, nothing."

Aluman did not explain the meaning, but changed the topic extremely stiffly: "My idea is very simple. Doesn't she want evidence? We will give it to her."

"Do you mean... let me find evidence?"

Alvin reacted extremely quickly and immediately guessed Aluman's idea.

"That's right, you re-infiltrate the Underhive and search for evidence of the Iron Hammer Gang and the cult."

Aluman nodded slightly and explained the details of the plan: "In this way, that Inquisitor will have sufficient evidence and reasons to mobilize the Empire's troops."

"No problem, please leave it to me, Magos Aluman."

Alvin didn't hesitate at all and took on this difficult task directly.

Coincidentally, S. H. I. E. L. D.'s 'electrostatic veil' is just suitable for infiltration actions. You only need to scan the face, and you can perfectly simulate the other party's appearance after wearing it.

"There is one thing to remind you." Magos Aluman, wearing a rusty red robe, said in a serious tone: "No matter what the situation is, you must protect your own safety, and you only have seven days. By then, whether you find evidence or not, you must return to the Mid-Hive immediately, understand?"

Alvin could understand the first point about paying attention to safety, but the seven-day limit made him puzzled: "Magos Aluman, why is it seven days?"

"Because, seven days later... is the 'Emperor's Ascension Day'."

Aluman gripped the mechanical staff tightly, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness: "Galken Hadley announced that he will officially establish the successor of the next Planetary Governor on the 'Emperor's Ascension Day'!" ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
