Chapter 654 Loken’s little secret
Deep in the Unbound Soul, a tall figure wearing a cloak walked through the bustling road, silent all the way.
The broad avenue is shrouded in the shadow of huge cables, with various flags and slogans standing on both sides. Colorful billboards hang low on the street, with their respective origins written on them.
In the empire, a starship is a city, and it naturally has the most basic facilities that a city has. Even slave workers have the lowest consumption needs.
As usual, this area between the lower and middle decks is warm and pleasant, with a gentle artificial wind sweeping the streets and people of all kinds of clothing hurrying past.
The place is only as lively as it is when anchored, for under sail everyone is tied to their station.
The man in the cloak is already quite familiar with the layout of this place. After all, its layout is so intuitive that anyone can walk freely through its streets and alleys after a little time.
At this moment, he was walking eastward to a very unique small restaurant. He discovered it during a morning walk. This delicious dessert shop and restaurant is hidden deep in the orbit. Among the many avenues radiating from the central station.
Although he is not hungry, he still likes to reward himself with some delicious food when he needs comfort.
That's it for today.
In fact, the food in the Star Battlefield Restaurant is not inferior to this, but he didn't come here just to eat. In fact, his main purpose was to feel the smoke and smoke that he was getting away from day by day.
And today is also the day when the flea market is open. The square is filled with shops, vendors and all kinds of hawking. Currency is generally not used on starships. The most common equivalent is food, but people also accept Barter.
This reminded him of his hometown, the bustling, noisy, crowded market.
Thinking of this, a heartbreaking feeling of nostalgia suddenly surged in his chest.
After so many years, he has never gone back.
Being unusually tall, he walked through the crowd, declining all kinds of food and drinks, but stopped to buy two small eagle pendants - handicrafts sold by two thin children, and their mother They are selling waste residue after use of coolant.
Then he walked south along the avenue, and then turned east into a narrow alley, with awnings and clothes hanging hanging above his head.
The restaurant was at the end of the street. He saw a waiter waiting at the door, so he smiled and waved to him.
"Mr. Bahram, welcome to visit again."
He took off his cloak and revealed a gentle face. No one would have thought that an Astartes would appear silently. On the lower deck.
In fact, the first time he came here was purely accidental. At that time, he was just curious and wanted to know about the lives of the people on the bottom deck, but he stumbled into this alley.
When he first entered the restaurant, he had already prepared his stomach to face a large plate of artificial starch or other equally unappetizing things, but in the end he found a A delightful restaurant that wouldn't be out of place in a high-end hotel, and I was immediately mesmerized by the mouth-watering aroma of sautéed groats.
“Still the same.”
Bahram then found a comfortable seat to sit down, but unexpectedly he met an acquaintance later.
“Yo, that’s not it.”
When Mechanical Priest Loken walked over slowly, Bahram was still enjoying his first meal.
Loken held a plate of ant beef and fresh vegetables in one hand, a large bowl of snow-topped sorbet in the other hand, and a robotic arm held a cup of steaming sorbet precariously. Special coffee.
"Hello, Priest Loken."
Loken then sat down opposite Bahram.
“How do you know that guy Rozim opened a shop here?”
"Actually, I don't know, I just bumped into it by chance."
"I heard that the Chapter fought a victorious battle on the ground, saved the Iron Skull Legion, and destroyed a large amount of greenskin equipment. . ”
It seemed that he had not spoken to the Space Marine for a long time. Loken was enthusiastic, and his free mechanical arm reached into the hidden part of his robe to search for the data pad.
He placed it on the table and operated it with a robotic arm, while two real hands waved the knife and fork with palpable enthusiasm.
A star map was displayed. The Armageddon galaxy was only at the edge of the display, while a small and dim star, like a dead soul, appeared in the center of the screen.
"I have a plan. There are many ancient ruins in Armageddon. If we can explore some of them and recover those valuable things, then this time we will not be in vain."
"War Group The leader probably won't agree," Bahram said in a very patient tone, and surprisingly, Loken laughed.
“That’s not certain.”
Loken dragged the display so that the target galaxy occupied the entire screen.
"This is top-secret information. My mentor's mentor once participated in a top-secret project. This plan is very ambitious and involves the research of alien technology and the examination of the history of the Dark Ages. Armageddon is part of the plan."
"For me, I really don't understand what you want to express, priest."
Bahram said frankly.
“I am just an ordinary soldier, not a technical sergeant.”
“Of course, only some fragments of these records have been left, but for those who have been planning for a long time, it is still There are gratifying clues, and all that remains to be done is to trust in the mercy of the Omnissiah.”
Loken seemed to be talking entirely to himself and didn't care about Bahram at all.
"So you are convinced that there is something worth exploring on the surface? Some hidden technology?"
"No, you didn't find it? After the Chapter Master met with the people of the White Templars, , became mysterious and came directly to Armageddon without any hesitation. They must have discovered something."
"You haven't told the Chapter Leader about this? "
"No."
Loken nodded, obviously happy that Bahram was so successful.
“Maybe he wanted us to give him a surprise, didn’t he?”
“I don’t think so.”
Bahram sighed and turned his attention dessert.
A waitress had already come over with a plate of food. She placed a bowl of fruit in front of Bahram and gave him a dessert with cream and candied fruits.
"By the way, where is your boss?"
Suddenly, Bahram noticed that there was one less noisy figure than before, so he stopped the waitress who was about to leave.
"The boss seemed to say he was delivering takeout."
"Huh?"
Loken waved his hand and explained:
"That guy secretly opened a shop here, but the business is not good. I think about it every day with a frown. This place is full of people who are so poor that they lose their pants. How can there be any business?"
Bahram smiled. laugh.
“There is no way, Uncle Rozim is afraid of being discovered, so he can only drive in such a hidden place.”
“So I told him, this side of Armageddon It is said that there are a lot of rich people, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to do some takeout? But he actually did it. He got a bunch of flyers and borrowed my shuttle to spread them over the nest. "
“So we have guests?”
Bahram looked at the waitress, who nodded.
“The boss is very excited. He said it’s a big business and he wants to order a hundred sets of that package at one time.”
“Oh, that’s it. Who is this person? "Much."
"I don't know, the boss said it seemed like it was called Bone Crusher?"
For a moment, Loken and Bahram froze, and they both stared. Eyes, as if seeing a ghost——
