Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

If the middle nest is a hodgepodge, and the lower nest is a veritable garbage dump, then the upper nest is definitely the antonym of the two of them combined.

This place is different from the crowded urban areas and narrow and dim streets of Zhongchao. It is also different from the bottomless pit of Xiachao, which is completely dark and lit entirely by artificial light sources. There are also extremely poor public security and living conditions in the two areas. .

In the Middle Nest, although you can live, there is a high probability that you will not die. After all, the power of the empire can still reach everywhere, but the low income and poor living environment, especially the exhaust emissions of the Mechanicum and the not optimistic public health Situation, you won't survive well where you are, but the Empire can at least ensure that you are alive.

As for Low Nest, ah, we don’t need to go into details, right? You have seen enough, and I believe that you should be quite familiar with the life in Zhongchao. After all, it does not seem to be too different from our daily life. Of course, I am referring to the crazy people who believe in the state religion. , the paranoid sages of the Mechanicus, the rough law enforcers, and the corrupt imperial bureaucrats.

Hmm. Well, maybe the difference isn't that big.

But this is not the case in Shangchao. There are wide streets, fresh air, and even more gorgeous and exquisite architectural structures.

Different from the steel forest in Zhongchao, the buildings here are very beautiful. It can be seen that they have been carefully designed and built, and each palace-style building decorated with sculptures and exquisite reliefs is surrounded by well-manicured walls. Greening part.

These exquisite gardens and street plants give this place a breath of life. Each building is separated by a certain distance. It is completely different from the dense environment below where buildings are next to each other and people are next to each other. It can be said that this place is comfortable. .

Large shopping malls, entertainment streets, hospitals, cinemas and various clubs can be found almost everywhere here. These are part of the luxurious life of the upper class. According to their own unique architecture and arrangement, they can be found on the streets of Shangchao. distributed on the platform.

On the well-maintained wide roads, luxury cars and floating vehicles shuttled back and forth. The traffic density here also changed significantly from Zhongchao.

The streets are illuminated by public street lamps beautifully arranged along the street. Each of these golden-decorated street lamps has a small angel on it. Those angel statues hold lanterns, and the light that illuminates the world is emitted from them.

Vito leaned on the leather armchair in the back seat of the car. He leaned sideways and placed one hand on the car window. His eyes stared at the brightly lit exquisite buildings on both sides of the street. These luxurious villas and palaces were obviously going on. Enjoying their nightlife, you can hear laughter and loud conversations from time to time.

Moreover, Vito had just arrived at the nest, and within ten minutes of driving, he had already seen four garden parties. The delicious food, luxurious enjoyment and waste among them were definitely enough to keep the people of the empire alive for a lifetime.

Vito has indeed been to many hive cities, and of course he has seen similar scenes. The lives of the nobles and powerful people in the empire are always so arrogant and extravagant, but I have to admit that the level of enjoyment of Victoria Star seems to be more than usual. Be exaggerated.

Vito must have seen some less loyal entertainment methods, or more similar to the entertainment methods that might exist for believers of a subspace evil god?

Vito smiled jokingly and sighed lightly, and in the car, beside him, Henry also leaned against the window and looked at the thousands of lights outside, "Every time I go up to the nest, it makes me very happy." "Discomfort, the vast majority of people on this planet are suffering and struggling on the poverty line, but here, these assholes who have enjoyed privileges for generations can sing and dance every night."

"Many times I wonder, if the Emperor really protects mankind, would he really allow this to happen?" Henry whispered, seeming more like talking to himself, but Vito laughed, Holding his chin.

"No, he won't. At least I don't think he will." "Maybe, but it's hard for the Emperor's light to shine here now, or maybe the Emperor of Terra has long been gone. A true emperor."

Henry said, those lights and scenes of joy flashed in his eyes, "I heard that he has completely turned into a corpse. Now, only the insects of the emperor's privileged class are left, using his brilliance. Making money and having fun.”

"I once believed in the Emperor, I believed in the Empire, Vito, but every time I came here, I would ask myself why, why should I believe them? For thousands of years, this has never changed. Maybe, It is long past time for us to wait for redemption from the Emperor."

"Don't you think that the Lord of Redeemer from across the star sea can bring hope and salvation?" Vito asked, tilting his head slightly, while Henry smiled bitterly. He sighed and rubbed his neck.

"I believe it, but I don't believe it. I don't know why. I'm not as religious as Mosley. I have indeed had many ideological changes since I joined the family and the church, but I always feel that there is some power, or... The underlying thought, the will, makes me doubt everything we claim to be, and the Lord of the Redeemer.”

"I'm like" "Chaos heresy?"

Henry was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, leaning weakly on the soft backrest of the car, "Maybe, I always think about it, our doctrine declares that all human beings and all living beings are equal, in the Lord of Redeemer Everyone is equal before us, and we can all get the ultimate salvation.”

"But why, most of our top leaders still live here, in the nest, and they are even part of the empire's privileged class. Then why do they believe in the Lord of Redeemer? For the sake of all the people in the world?"

Vito seemed amused, "No, remember? They are the nobles and elites of the empire. Apart from the state religion and the Mechanicus, they have no piety or loyalty at all."

"There are people like this even in the state religion, and also in the Mechanicus."

"The empire relies on wealth and power to tie them onto the empire's chariot. I don't think they will believe in the Redeemer out of faith. They are not religious lunatics like Mosley."

Henry fell silent, his eyes reflecting various colors, and those colors were intertwined together, like a gorgeous feast of lights.

"Tell me, Vito, is Mosley's disappearance related to you?" After Henry said this, the atmosphere in the car became cold, and this suffocating silence lasted for a moment.

Vito looked at a statue passing by, which was an angel statue, "Directly related? No, but I knew he would disappear." "You are very honest, Vito, you are admitting that you harmed Mosley. "I'm not going to lie to you, brother, and I don't think I'm directly responsible."

"Yes, I know that Marr will find Mosley through a traitor and take action against him. I said at the meeting that there are traitors within us who collude with that side." "But you still sent him there, or... , instigated.”

Vito sighed, "You know, even if I don't tell him, he will go. Then it will be nothing more than going privately and disrupting all plans. So, yes, I encouraged him to go, and I also know that he Probably won’t come back.”

"I got rid of him with the help of Mal. You and I don't need to bear the responsibility and infamy. No one will know about it. Now, the Lower Nest Order is safe."

"We have captured the Hammer Factory, and there is no longer a lunatic to encourage everyone to do crazier and more unreasonable things."

Henry shook his head, still looking at the gorgeous building outside the window, a huge garden-style building with countless flowers in bloom and full of well-manicured green plants.

"You are not pious, Vito. I know that you came to the nest for power. There is no essential difference between you and the people here." Henry's voice seemed to come from the dark void, ethereal and long, Although they were only less than half a meter apart, the sound still seemed to come from the endless void.

Vito smiled and held his belly with his hands, "Yes, I don't deny this. I went there for my own business, power, wealth, desire, etc., just like most people."

Henry smiled and rubbed his head, "You are really honest. Many people are unwilling to admit this." Vito also smiled, "I don't intend to deceive you, brother, I'm just telling the truth."

Vito said, and suddenly the whole car stopped. He looked at the guard outside the front window with confusion and curiosity. It was a guard wearing a gorgeous uniform and wearing the emblem of a private family. , obviously, a guard of a wealthy family, not a local law enforcement officer.

The gate guard wearing a blue uniform with gold trim looked at each other and the driver in the front row. They didn't say anything. Then the guard called to the guard room nearby, and the thick iron gate slowly opened.

They drove into a garden, a private garden that looked very objective in area, with fountains, sculptures and various artistic buildings. Vito squinted slightly and looked at it all.

The car stopped after a while, outside a palace-style building. Henry smiled and opened the door on one side, "You are honest Vito, then you will like him." "Who?" "Come out by yourself. Take a look."

Henry left the car first, and then Vito got out of the car door. His boots stepped on the white marble floor, and his black eyes raised to look at the magnificent building.

Vito was stunned for a moment, then he laughed helplessly, "Of course, what on earth am I curious about?"

Yes, this is just Victoria's planetary governor's palace.
