Chapter 443: The First Black Crusade?

The Captain's Room, Serenity.

Fu Qinghai looked at the seven people in front of him, three of whom were aliens. He thought that it was a good thing that Sid Nora had gotten off the boat. If she had seen you, even though the Grand Inquisitor belonged to the Demon Tribunal rather than the Alien Tribunal, she still would not have spared you.

"Sit down."

Fu Qinghai pointed to the sofa area.

He turned and walked to the wine cabinet, opened the door and asked:

"What would you like to drink? I have... wine from Quatis, which is a rare commodity in the Warhammer 40K universe. There are Autumn's Brew, Golden Cognac, and Catarina White Wine, which are specially provided to the planetary governor and not available to ordinary people."

"Thank you, I don't drink."

Augustus waved his hand and said.

Many mages do not drink alcohol.

"Then I'll have... a cup of Autumn's Brew. This name sounds quite interesting."

Olivia said excitedly.

Augustus turned and glanced at his sister.

Didn't say anything.

The wine produced in the world of Quatis Garden is well-known in the empire and has always been in short supply, especially in some excellent years. However, the Marques King Star Region where the Phaeton Foundry World is located is adjacent to the Calis Star Region where the world of Quatis Garden is located. In addition, the industrial products of the Phaeton Foundry World are also in short supply. It is very easy to give the Calis Star Region a few trade quotas to exchange for a batch of wine.

Fu Qinghai put a few glasses of wine on the table.

"So, what does the Zero Realm Guild want?"

Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.

"It's not a demand yet, I'm just taking a look first."

Augustus spoke very politely:

"Of course, it would be best if we could reach some cooperation plans with a player force as powerful as Qingshan Khan who also belongs to the lawful camp."

He also complimented Fu Qinghai first.

The Zero Realm Guild sent Augustus to lead the team to explore the land, perhaps with this consideration. The Draenei are obviously not the kind of people who are strong but do not know how to socialize. Augustus is not only highly skilled in magic, but also has a good sense of wording when talking. However, this negotiation ability can only be used for other reincarnation societies in the Warhammer 40K universe. After all...

The Inquisition won't listen to you, alien!

Augustus also mentioned the "lawful alignment".

The Zero Realm Guild develops with the support of the Alliance in the World of Warcraft universe and belongs to the category of lawful camp. In fact, strictly speaking, the Horde can also be considered the lawful camp, because there are not only the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft, but also other forces. The real chaotic camp may be the Scourge, the Burning Legion, and the Twilight Legion.

The Empire of Man certainly belongs to the lawful camp. It is hard to say whether it is lawful evil or lawful good, but it is definitely lawful. The Four Chaos Gods are naturally the chaotic camp, and they represent the word "chaos" itself. The Dark Mechanicus, Iron Warriors, and Word Bearers, who believe in chaos, may also have some connection with the word "order".

Augustus specifically mentioned the words "lawful camp", which hinted at something in his words, and was actually easy to understand. Anyone with a normal mind, as long as there was a choice, would probably not like the chaotic camp. Although there were a large number of non-human races within the Zero Realm Guild, they still didn't want to join the chaos right away - at least they had to wait and see the specific situation.

"Well, speaking of camps, it's actually like this."

Fu Qinghai put down his glass and explained:

"If you consider the situation of the Zero Realm Guild, the most suitable force for you is neither the Human Empire, nor the Four Chaos Gods, nor the Orcs and Eldar, but a country called the 'Tau Empire'. They promote a value called 'The Greater Good' and are much more inclusive than the Human Empire... But unfortunately, the timeline of Warhammer 40K is too long. At this time point, the Tau Empire does not exist at all."

At this point in time, the Tau Empire is not backward or developed, but does not exist at all. It is impossible to find the planet if you want to. Even if you find the planet where the Tau originated, it is hard to say whether there is life on it.

"So what about other than the Tau Empire?"

Augustus continued with the question.

"It's very difficult."

Fu Qinghai pulled the corner of his mouth and said:

"The Milky Way belongs to the Imperium of Man. The Webway belongs to the Eldar. The Warp rifts, including the Eye of Terror, the Maelstrom, and the Great Rift, belong to the forces of Chaos. There are very few settings for the Extragalactic Universe, and it is said that they are all inhabited by the Tyranids."

Fu Qinghai raised his goblet and took a sip.

"So, unless you are a native alien race in the Warhammer 40K universe, such as the Greenskins, Eldar, Tau, Necrons, and Tyranids, otherwise..."

Fu Qinghai looked at everyone and concluded:

"Otherwise you will have almost nowhere to go."

Elves and the Eldar are not the same race, and Orcs and Orks are not the same race either. They are just somewhat similar in appearance, but their physiological structures are very different.

Everyone in the Zero Realm Guild fell silent.

Fu Qinghai poured another glass of wine.

The reason why he was willing to talk about these things with the Zero Realm Guild was because he had a good impression of this club and felt that it was a responsible club, rather than the reason Olivia mentioned - the Zero Realm Guild was very powerful in World of Warcraft, and if they entered World of Warcraft in the future, they could help each other.

Before, Fu Qinghai took Lauster's head to the Zero Realm Guild to exchange for the bounty. After verifying his identity, the Zero Realm Guild transferred the assimilation points to him without saying anything. It is important to emphasize that the act of publicly offering a bounty to other players is purely a spontaneous act among players, and there is no "law" or "rule" from the reincarnation world to protect it. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and the Zero Realm Guild can actually turn its back on him, but they did not. They still have the minimum pattern and integrity as a large community.

Being trustworthy has nothing to do with strength.

"actually..."

Augustus rubbed his hands and said:

"Compared to the power structure and geographical distribution of the Warhammer 40K universe, we care more about a setting."

"What setting?"

"The Warp and Psionics."

Augustus said with bright eyes.

The Warp and Psionics?

Fu Qinghai immediately put down his wine glass.

He sat up straight and said seriously:

"Senator Augustus, is it okay for me to address you this way? You have to understand one thing. All mystical knowledge involving psionics and the Warp is absolutely forbidden knowledge in the Warhammer 40K universe. You have been in the world of reincarnation for so long, so you must not be newcomers. There is a saying that I think you have all heard - in the world of reincarnation, information is never free."

Fu Qinghai stared at Augustus with sharp eyes, raised two fingers and rubbed them, and said.

Information is never free.

It was the vampire Rusfan who told Fu Qinghai this. Looking back, it was Fu Qinghai's third reincarnation, in the Biertan Village in Romania in the Conjuring Universe.

Share some of the power structure and distribution of the Warhammer 40K universe. This information is basic common sense that can be found by looking up information. Even if it is a little difficult to find information in the reincarnation world, it can still be found with some effort and time, so Fu Qinghai doesn't mind talking about these.

However, if we talk about psychic powers, the nature of the matter is different. Psychic knowledge involves the issue of spellcasting, which is a secret that cannot be passed on. How can it be shared casually?

Augustus smiled slightly when he heard this:

"Of course I have heard this saying."

The Draenei raised a hand:

"You can name your price."

Ouch...

This is something Fu Qinghai can't handle.

It's not that he doesn't dare to make an offer. Everyone would ask for a high price. The problem is that Fu Qinghai doesn't have the psychic knowledge that Augustus wants - the regiment has no think tank.

Fu Qinghai began to think.

Why would the Zero Realm Guild be interested in this knowledge?

Cast a spell! No doubt about it.

Fu Qinghai immediately figured it out.

Most magical universes have some basic settings for the principles of spellcasting. For example, the four elements are in DND, WOW, Marvel and DC, because they are just like the Chinese Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The four elements in ancient Greece are a simple conjecture about the composition of the world's matter, and have always had a great influence on the entire Western fantasy world. World of Warcraft has further increased it to six original forces.

But Warhammer 40K does not have these settings.

Psionics, the working principle is based on modifying reality. Theoretically, psionics can realize all forms of magic. Assuming that a person has a thorough understanding of the nature of psionics, then psionics can not only turn into air, fire, water, and earth, but also into holy light, shadow, life, and evil energy...

Just like Laust.

It turns out that this was their idea.

Fu Qinghai was thoughtful. In fact, if you insist, he did have some knowledge about psychic energy. The book "Rituals and Chant" by the vortex technician Protes was a heretical book about the mysticism of the subspace, but that book was more about how the heretical technological creations worked and were used.

In addition, Fu Qinghai estimated that there were many books and fragments related to psychic energy in the landmark building of the Schwerin Hive World, the Great Library. However, it once caused a family of the Hive City to fall into the service of Tzeentch. The Zeddu family was originally responsible for maintaining and guarding the Great Library. Knowing that there was a problem there, they naturally could not just barge in.

After some psychological analysis.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and said:

"If we talk about 'completely understanding the nature of psychic energy', I think no one in the entire Warhammer 40K universe can do it. Magnus didn't do it, and neither did Azek Ahriman, the Chosen of Tzeentch. But there is a place that claims to be able to do it, the Black Library in the Webway. It is said that it preserves all the knowledge about sorcery and psychic energy of the ancient Eldar Empire. Not only that, there are also magic books compiled by all the great magicians of later generations."

The Black Library was founded by the Eldar Laughing God.

It is guarded by a troupe of Harlequin Eldar.

No one knows what's inside. Some people say that entering the Black Library can break the fourth wall and see a group of screenwriters and authors hired by GW writing furiously.

"So how do we get into the Black Library?"

Augustus then asked.

Fu Qinghai shrugged his shoulders:

"Professor Ahriman would like to know, too."

The implication is: Don't ask me, even Tzeentch's chosen one doesn't know, but he makes predictions when he is in doubt.

Augustus did not get the answer he wanted, but he still expressed his gratitude very sincerely:

"Thank you, thank you very much. I have benefited a lot from this conversation. The information we can find about Warhammer 40K is too mixed and messy, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. With your answers and doubts, I finally have a preliminary understanding now."

"You're welcome."

Fu Qinghai said lightly.

We have finished talking about the grand topic.

Back to the issue at hand.

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Olivia, who had been sitting next to them drinking silently, suddenly spoke up:

"So Qingshan, you have been in the Warhammer 40K universe all this time, and you immediately participated in the plot after the reincarnation began. Do you know what the major events of the current plot line are?"

Fu Qinghai was stunned for a moment:

"Eh, I really don't know."

Olivia blinked her eyes:

"The cycle of reincarnation has been open for so long..."

The main reason is that Fu Qinghai is too busy.

As the commander of the Iron Pagoda, he immediately rushed to the Iron Belt War Zone after receiving the transfer order from the Military Affairs Department and the Inquisitor. He immediately joined the battle when he arrived at the war zone, fighting against the Intelligent Control Legion and the Titan Legion alone. The assimilation points were constantly earning, and he forgot to think about which major event in the plot line was.

The Warhammer 40K universe has been opened twice so far, and the major events in the plot line are "The Horus Heresy" and "The Great Purge". According to the timeline of the original work, if there is a major plot event later, it should be the "First Black Crusade".

But the first Black Crusade took place in 781.M31, which is still hundreds of years from now. Could it have happened earlier?

After Olivia's reminder, Fu Qinghai began to recall the original plot quickly. The first Black Crusade is still very important. There are two key turning points in this battle: 1. Abaddon finally got the magic sword Drakanion, which greatly enhanced his personal combat power and consolidated his position in the Black Legion. 2. The leader of the Black Templars, the Black Knight Sigismund, was killed by Abaddon in a duel.

There is an extra artifact over there.

There is one less sword master here.

If possible, Fu Qinghai would certainly prevent these two turning points from happening. But the problem is that the battle in the Iron Ring has not yet ended, and the Iron Pagoda Regiment has no way to withdraw immediately, nor is it possible to withdraw immediately - this is a complete act of disobedience. The first Black Crusade broke out very suddenly. At that time, only the Black Templars believed that the traitors would come back, so they were always vigilant against the Eye of Terror. Even if the Iron Pagoda Regiment really abandoned the battle in the Iron Ring and immediately returned to the Hazy Star Field to Cadia outside the Eye of Terror, what if the Black Crusade did not break out?

Wouldn't it be a waste of disobedience and a waste of time?

Major plot events...

Is it really possible to advance it by hundreds of years?

"I really don't know."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Augustus and Olivia didn't know that in the one or two seconds, so many thoughts flashed through Fu Qinghai's mind. Assuming that he really didn't remember them, Augustus changed the subject and asked,

"Then in the subsequent battle..."

"Zero Realm Guild cannot participate in the battle."

Regarding this issue, Fu Qinghai said very clearly:

"We all want to earn assimilation points, I understand. But I'm sorry, the Zero Realm Guild cannot participate in the battle I command, because I can't explain your existence and origins. If you insist on participating in the battle, I can find a war-torn planet in the Iron Ring to drop you off. If you don't want to participate in the battle, you can stay on my ship until the end of the reincarnation. These are the two choices, you should consider them carefully, Augustus and Olivia."

Fu Qinghai put down his glass and stood up as he spoke.

Fu Qinghai was very cautious this time. He asked all seven members of the Zero Realm Guild to show their flipped hands to confirm that they were indeed players from the Human Empire camp. Only then did he suggest letting them stay on the ship to prevent the Amaterasu's tricks from happening again.

Just at this moment Lin Yu knocked on the door and came in.

The attendant held the data tablet in his hand and said:

"Khan, a new combat mission has been issued!"

......

　The world's most populous country is India, don't get me wrong.
