Chapter 182: The Hemar Governor Followed by a Cherub

While the Shadow of Sovereignty was in transit, Ninglu summoned his Primarch Attendant to the Primarch's office in the palace.

"What did you gain from the Tomb of the Ancient Kings on Fenris?"

"My lord, the way the runes on Fenris utilize Ether Energy is primitive, but there are indeed aspects worth adopting."

"Beyond that, I also discovered prayers on the stone tombs; I know you have been very interested in this recently, so I made rubbings of them."

The Dunn Language dictionary that Arsena had researched and compiled had reached a vocabulary of 33,411 words, enough to satisfy most needs.

Ninglu could not reveal the existence of the "Kingdom of Disorder" to them, so he had to pray alone, ensuring the rituals were directed toward himself.

In order to make the ritualistic language meet the requirements of this world's rules, he referenced the prayers of various races extensively.

Ninglu picked up the Data Slate and looked at the prayers sent over by the Primarch Attendant.

"Great All-Father,

Master of Fenris,

Creator of Asaheim and the Sea of Storms,

......"

【Similar to what I saw before, they all adopt a three-part directional description to ensure it points to oneself.】

The Primarch memorized the prayers in an instant, then spoke.

"I brought back some sacrificial offerings from the temple of Mokai; you are to conduct research on them."

"As you command."

After the "Reasoning Scholar" accepted the order, the Primarch began to issue deployment orders for the Legion.

"Mobilize the Second, Fifth, and Eleventh Chapters to proceed to Terra, then follow me to campaign in the Huolun Xingxi."

Ninglu decided to use the war in Huolun to temper the six Chapters whose development directions were not yet clearly defined, and to unearth talent.

Considering the current state of the six Chapters, he decided to first summon three of them to head to Huolun.

"As for the other Chapters, cooperate closely with those conscripted to explore routes, such as Lewis von Valerius, and connect the Legion's territories into one, with Vostonia as the center, as soon as possible."

"Send a message to Mikel, ordering the Chief Apothecary to head to Terra."

Arsena recorded the Primarch's orders, then operated the Data Slate to display several holographic images.

"My lord, the Techmarines have conducted technical research on the captured Eldar Youxia Changbujiang, and have achieved preliminary results."

"Although we cannot yet crack the Eldar's Psychic Cultivation Crystal technology, after modifying them, they can now be used by Astartes and the Auxilia."

"Compared to the Laser guns manufactured by the Imperium, the improved Eldar long rifles have a longer range and higher precision."

Ninglu's black eyes looked at the holographic images.

The modified Laser guns were not as elegantly streamlined as before, losing some of the characteristics of Eldar weaponry.

The length of the barrel was also shortened by one-fifth, making it more suitable for ordinary humans to use.

"Name the modified Laser guns 'Ranger-pattern'."

"How many Ranger-pattern ones are there currently?"

"Sixty-five."

Ninglu tapped his fingers, thought for a moment, and said.

"Distribute fifty to the elite snipers of the Auxilia, and send fifteen to me."

He wanted to distribute the fifteen to the Treasure Hunting Squad to enhance their strength.

"Order the Techmarines to continue their research on the Eldar spoils."

While the Primarch was issuing orders, on Necromunda, Adams looked at Leandro Hemar before him.

Leandro was sturdily built, with sharp facial contours, a high bridge of the nose, and deep-set eye sockets.

A winged humanoid creature was flying by his shoulder, its blue skin covered in various complex patterns and markings.

Adams knew that was a Cherub; the people of Necromunda regarded them as symbols of good luck.

They lived in the vents and pipes throughout the Hive City of Necromunda, possessed relatively mild psychic talents, could passively foresee fate, and would be attracted to those powerful individuals.

They would follow those who were about to rise to power; the Seventh Iron Lord of the Spider Alliance had been followed by a Cherub back when he was a commoner.

Subsequently, he began to rise, continuously excavating several ruins, and rapidly became the most powerful person on Necromunda.

Once a Cherub left its master, that person could be said to have been issued a death warrant, and misfortune would soon follow.

Before the arrival of the Eleventh Legion, the Seventh Iron Lord's Cherub had left him, and not long after, he met his death.

Leandro's original surname was Hemarui; after encountering the Cherub, he claimed to have received a revelation of fate and changed his family name to Hemar.

Subsequently, he was chosen by Adams, who supported him in building his power.

Adams carried out the Primarch's words, supporting the Hemar Family to establish order and rule the populous Necromunda.

"My lord, with your support, I have already established Pulimusi Chaodu, which will become the administrative center of Necromunda in the future."

Leandro Hemar reported respectfully to the Death Lord before him, using the High Gothic he had just mastered.

He knew that Lord Adams had chosen him, but could also abandon him at any time, just as the Cherub might abandon him.

Fortunately, he had the Cherub following him, and the Death Lord trusted him and gave him strong support.

Countless Necromundans bowed to him, which allowed him to grow into the most powerful Necromundan in a short period of time.

Adams nodded slightly and asked.

"How is the integration of the Tech-Guilds' factories going?"

"My lord, as of now, I have controlled 14,800 factories of various types, accounting for more than 10 percent of the factories controlled by the Tech-Guilds."

"Among them, 9,400 have resumed operations, and their production capacity has reached, or even exceeded, the original capacity of the factories."

The Death Lord nodded with satisfaction; Hemar's performance made him believe he had not chosen the wrong person.

Adams had not provided much actual help to Hemar, merely granting him the title of Planetary Governor, yet he had quickly opened up the situation, which also allowed the Fourth Legion to focus its energy on the other five star systems.

Adams's brain calculated rapidly and reached a conclusion.

"According to the current progress, in five years at most, we will be able to completely control the six star systems of the Spider Alliance and incorporate them into the Legion's system."

"If you encounter obstacles that cannot be resolved, you may report to me."

"My lord, I will do my best to resolve them myself."

"I understand; you chose me to entrust worldly affairs to, not to be bothered by trivialities."

Adams glanced at the caryatid; Hemar's ability to achieve such results in a short time relied on far more than just luck.

"Maintain your proactive attitude, and you will get what you want; the Hemar Family will be the ruling family of Necromunda."

"My lord, I will certainly not let you down."

"There is one more thing: as you develop the various Hive Cities, pay special attention to searching for Giant Spirit Spiders; the Monarch is very interested in them."

Hemar's eyes revealed a look of reverence and longing; he had heard of the Monarch's deeds.

Lord Adams's Gene-Father, the great Primarch Lord Ninglu, was the one who ended the era of the techno-aristocrats.

"My lord, I will certainly pay close attention, and if I discover any Giant Spirit Spiders, I will report to you immediately."

"Besides Giant Spirit Spiders, once you discover ruins or large tombs, report them to me in a timely manner as well."

Adams had explored four tombs, but the harvest was meager.

To master the power of the "Gravedigger," one needs to explore larger burial grounds.

Necromunda is too vast, and the Domes within the Hive Cities are as dense as a spider web; to find large tombs, one must still rely on the locals.

"My lord, I have discovered that the family of the Fourth Steel Lord has a tradition of elaborate burials; I speculate that that Hive City should have at least one large tomb complex."

"I have already dispatched capable subordinates, and I believe that before long, their location will be confirmed."

"Go, I await your good news."

While Necromunda and the other five star systems developed at high speed, Ninglu's fleet also arrived at Terra.

Upon receiving the news, Tierni used an encrypted communicator to send a message to Ninglu.

The Primarch dispatched the Order Shadow of his Honor Guard to bring him before him.

After Tierni and the other members of the Honor Guard withdrew, he reported to Ninglu.

"My lord, I have locked onto the general area of activity for the Eight-Legged Black Wolf you ordered me to find."
