Chapter 376 Banquet
“Don’t you like it? This banquet shows you as the protagonist? My beautiful Lucius.”
Called by the hostess of the Gorda Dynasty The figure who heard the name turned sideways towards her.
Lucius - apparently he had told her this name as part of the deal, and now the Emperor's Children's court swordsman champion was wearing an embroidered suit made of ivory white and conch purple. Wearing gold clothes and wearing thin Greek-style sandals with a decorative effect, she was gleaming with pink sapphire and diamond necklaces, earrings, armbands, bracelets and rings, some of which were connected by thin gold pearl chains. The different-looking control collar was not covered up, and the working warning light flashed a vicious red light on his neck.
His light forehead was decorated with a unique crown made of gleaming white crystal and spirit bones. This relic obviously came from a certain craft world, and was tinged with the color of the soul of the dead alien. Human craftsmanship has been re-embedded with tiny diamonds, which appear paler than his silver hair. It makes his hair look vibrant and decayingly beautiful.
Below were a pair of amethyst eyes set in the face of a creature of extraordinary beauty, now gazing at her with interest.
“Actually, it really surprised me. For a mortal, the splendor and extravagance of this banquet can even remind me a little of the theater of the Emperor’s Pride. But I believe that showing me can make you The jewels on your head sparkle even more, don't they, my Lady?"
"It seems that the nerve whip and the flesh-gnawing beetle pit can really make your words sound more pleasant and offensive. Those are your little charms. Is that the mothership of your Chapter? She has a very loyal and noble name, but I didn't hear it when I was in the navy. Said her record." The female lord's gray eyes stared at him, "Is she missing? Or does she belong to a fleet very far away from here?"
"Remotely..." Lucius He seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly. Someone in the banquet hall seemed to feel dizzy and commotion, "It is indeed very far away, very far away. There should be the most terrifying subspace storm between us."
" Oh... subspace trek, indeed, anything can happen in this kind of accident. So you are indeed separated from your comrades, so you don't even wear power armor and appear alone in ordinary clothes. This port on the border of the empire." The female rogue raised her lips mockingly, "You were planning to ask for help from the imperial navy in the central fortress, right? It's a pity that you met me."
She looked with satisfaction at her banquet hall, which had been decorated for decades with a large number of pink sapphires, pearls, mother-of-pearl and diamonds, as well as the trophy decorated with jewelry of the same color, and asked him to come over. He stretched out his pale and slender arms——
The palace swordsman champion from thousands of years ago walked over with an inimitable ancient and elegant etiquette, and helped her up according to the instructions of the female lord. Under the envious and amazed gazes of everyone in the splendid banquet hall, Ronin escorted her to the head of the banquet table and sat down like the most courteous gentleman.
——To be honest, even though Lucius felt very novel about these few days of Rogue Trader flagship experience trip and was not disgusted with the pleasure it brought, but based on all aspects of this woman Her methods and her only commendable boldness were not enough to make the Emperor's son, who had his eyes high above his head, follow her instructions so closely - one of the most troublesome things for him was how to hide his actual interest in front of her. Quack.
——She has these extravagant desires to show her superiority, undisguised endless greed, clear ambition, control freak and deep love for the art of torture. She has experienced some internal affairs in the Third Legion. From the perspective of Lucius, who was active and knew some of his brother officers who were further advanced in these areas, it was simply not worth mentioning.
——And does she really have a brain? If you use your brain a little, you can see how perfunctory Lucius's story is: first of all, since he is not wearing power armor or carrying weapons, but a man as extraordinary and beautiful as him can reach the port safely alone, it is obvious that there is something nearby that can To ensure his safety; secondly, didn't she notice that Lucius was wearing Astartes-sized clothes that fit him perfectly? Don't even think about where you got it? Finally - Lucius believes that with his ability, it is too easy to stir up the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of these mortals with his own existence. For example, now, even though he is standing quietly beside her throne, he can Seeing the eyes of those guests shining with all kinds of desires towards him: whether they were mortals or others, his originally very sensitive touch could now feel those clear desires and emotions - this was the acceptance of the King of Iron Heart. The burning ceremony that dissected him from soul to body was a gift to him, and if he had desires, there would be room for him to display them.
He lowered his eyes slightly and gave everyone a helpless and daydreaming response from under his eyelashes. Then as expected, the eyes of the female lord's close assistant began to stare at the female lord maliciously in the dark, and the artist Their sights began to be filled with surprises and fun, oh, there were others.
He saw the female lord's ally, a biological sage who had made a lot of modifications to his body, staring at him so eagerly: it reminded Lucius of a former peer in his legion, Fa Bius, the pharmacist who was originally called "Spider" by Fulgrim, who had fallen, was rumored to be called Fabius Bayer from then on. The same look in his eyes, It has nothing to do with worldly desires, and comes from the twisted desire for truth and knowledge deep in the heart.
For some reason, when I think of the words "Fulgrim has fallen" and Fabius Bair, a silent scream ripples from far away that cannot be covered by the curtain of subspace. The void was transmitted to Lucius, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin.
The former Thirteenth Company Captain of the Emperor's Children suddenly shuddered, and a strange seductive chuckle whispered into his heart, entangling him, tempting him, and told him that he should be there Some "unforgettable pleasures of flesh and blood art" are produced here for mortals to dedicate the hundred thousand souls here to some supreme power... and this illusive feeling creeps into his soul...
Lucius's purple eyes gradually began to blur. Maybe he shouldn't play games like this, but should create some pleasant pain for himself and everyone at the same time...pleasant...pain...burning...being forced to keep them open. My eyes watched as my most secret, dark, and shameful essence was dragged out naked by the powerful red-haired king, burned alive in my soul by the glazed flames, and reshaped from the void——
He shuddered, the jewels on his body flashed with charming brilliance, and the fragrant and jeweled punters behind the curtain let out sharp hisses of annoyance and anger.
A figure entangled deep in the gauze curtain and velvet throne with the fat self - Enkali's figure also screamed in horror and anger, but then began to giggle again.
"Ah, things are starting to get interesting. This child - my lost child! He actually refused my invitation to a banquet with the great god! But is it because of that madman?"
The fallen Phoenix pursed his plump dark lips like a child who saw a novel toy, and Enkali's fat snake body twisted over and gave him a kiss.
"But it's much easier to play with other people... Interesting, interesting, let's see what he will do next? Huh? My love."
