Chapter 632 80 Resignation!
Chapter 632 80. Resign!
"Come and see Hades, Belinda."
A small appendage stretched out from the huge body of Jin-306, holding a champagne glass, with golden wine flickering in between.
He didn't need to drink Barbarus's stuff.
The Great Sage calmly looked at Belinda hiding in the crowd and smiled embarrassedly, but his footsteps did not move towards him at all.
"Father~ I may be in a state today-"
"Impossible."
Jin said, "You are the best one, I am not that lunatic Kirkland, it's time for you to take over some of my work."
His words were heard by other people at the banquet, and the head of the Hades Church in some star region whistled at him.
Jin knew that he was agreeing with the statement "Kirkland is a lunatic".
Compared to yesterday, they are now holding a banquet in a magnificent hall. The Hades Church does not have many places suitable for entertainment, so the archbishop rented a hall of the state church.
Therefore, the atmosphere here is not like the previous ascetic and repressive style of the Hades Church (although people are not of this type at all).
On the contrary, it is magnificent, with various details piled on the dome and hanging down with the silk on the carved angel statues.
The guests invited today are far more than the monotonous ones at the opening ceremony yesterday. Respected believers, soulless people, space warriors, mechanical sages, wandering merchants, star army officers, speculators, liars, gamblers...
Jin looked at Belinda resolutely, and the light spots were jumping calmly on the electronic screen.
The female sage finally let go of the innocent soulless person she hugged from nowhere, and walked slowly towards Jin.
"You said I would take over from you,"
Belinda said with a smile,
"You taught me everything and gave me all the connections - but - you never mentioned Pluto to me before."
"You have to see for yourself,"
Jin said, "I don't want to influence your point of view."
Belinda sighed, she knew that one day she would have to take over from Jin,
Before that, she had been assisting Jin in assisting the Pluto War Group, but after finally waiting for Pluto to return, Jin immediately began to retreat.
In fact, even among a group of chaotic, drunk, or drugged people, Jin's size also occupies an absolute advantage. The great sage broke through the crowd like a battering ram.
They walked past the long table full of food, ignored the speculators who were giving generous speeches, and walked towards the longest and most conspicuous team in the center of the auditorium.
Jin walked forward indifferently from the end of the team. Everyone in the queue saluted him when they saw him, but the sage ignored them and just walked forward.
The huge auditorium is connected to another side hall. The tassels made of jewelry half-cover the eyes looking inside. The highest-ranking person at this banquet is in there.
The further the team goes, the higher the rank of the people in line. Finally, Jin and his team walked to the second person, a cardinal.
The bearded man looked at them, and the light in his eyes was not good.
"What do you want?"
Jin spoke directly.
The bearded man was not annoyed. He smiled, "I heard that [Athens Academy] is a good thing..."
"Want the construction rights of the regional center?" Jin said, "Next time, add you to the proposal for measuring slingshots."
The bearded man showed a satisfied smile, and the cardinal took a step back, but deliberately looked at Jin.
The first person in line was a mechanical sage.
"I allow you to cut in line, but the one in front of me... looks more difficult to deal with."
As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, the sage in front of him automatically saluted Jin and gave up his position.
"Good day, mentor."
The sage said, and Jin glanced at the cardinal indifferently,
"My apprentice."
He said, and then bent down and walked into the side hall.
Jin felt that Belina's tension behind him increased by 0.34%. The sage ignored this and looked into the hall.
As expected, Hades sat on the main seat. Because he was meeting with many guests, the king did not wear armor, but a black dress specially made by the Hades Church. At first glance, it looked like mourning clothes.
Hades was eating and talking to the next visitor, a wolf herder from a wolf group, who surprised Jin.
Magnus on the right side of Hades looked like he wanted to interrupt, and on the left side of Hades... a dark coffin lay there quietly. It seemed that the Pale Lord had lost any patience after yesterday's farce, and the coffin lid was tightly closed, unwilling to show it to others.
"Hey, Jin."
The wolf herder who was talking to Hades nodded, and followed the gray knight behind Magnus with a serious face. Hades looked up and looked at Jin.
"I was wondering why you haven't come yet,"
Hades finished his meal and picked up a new plate, and seemed to want to give Jin a plate.
"Kirkland grabbed the first one today, and I told him that it was unnecessary. Anyway, if he wanted, he could see me every day."
Hades bit his fork and watched the sage that Jin brought with him sit down.
"Guess what happened," Hades laughed as if he remembered something funny, "Kirkland said he was just here to show his attitude, and he left after staying for seven minutes."
Jin nodded, then shook his head,
"Madman."
He muttered softly, Kirkland was too crazy for his enthusiasm that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"I'm still waiting for you. I thought you weren't coming today."
Hades said, he looked up at his watch and handed a snack to Jin and Belinda, "It's almost late."
Jin recalled the long queue,
"You look like you'll be busy until tomorrow morning."
Hades curled his lips indifferently,
"Fortunately, they spend several months or a year to come to see me, but it only takes a few days for me - besides, I specially applied for a day and a half of vacation."
Hades raised his fork proudly,
"It seems that the application of the Nirvana system is going smoothly. Will it be fully applied next?"
Jin asked seemingly casually, and Hades smiled, "Yes, you know what, the Lord of Mankind sent the Imperial Guards to chant spells and sprinkle water around the host, which can really improve the efficiency of the system."
"You can ask Kirkland about this,"
Jin said, "As a Nirvana simulation The secondary personality that emerged, Kirkland may be able to describe and supervise Nirvana to you. "
Hades' smile widened,
"I thought so too, Jin, the good news is that there are no major problems so far, I can't believe it's going so smoothly."
Jin nodded, and there was silence between them for a moment, only the sound of Magnus flipping through the book could be heard, and then Hades spoke hesitantly,
"Jin... are you okay?"
"General," Jin said, and pushed Belinda, who was hiding behind him, out with his appendages, "I plan to put down my work recently and go see my students."
"This is Belinda, Hades, my most proud disciple - maybe you don't remember, but your dark halo was once worn by her for you."
Hades was stunned, as if this did happen, but... it seems to have happened ten thousand years ago?!
His eyes moved to Belinda, who politely called Hades like a child who was pushed out by relatives and forced to call gossip girls during the Chinese New Year.
Hades's eyes moved back to Jin, who felt that he was suddenly standing on an isolated island, with black tides surging up and slapping his feet.
Hades was using the black domain to confirm his soul.
Jin swallowed the urge to vomit and continued,
"I don't know if you will allow me to gradually leave. In the past ten thousand years, apart from teaching and temporarily taking over as the son of Hades for you, I have nothing else to boast about, and these jobs can be replaced at any time."
What kept him going for ten thousand years and kept him hanging was waiting for Hades' return.
After Hades returned, Jin began to worry about his fall... and now Hades has been in Terra for more than a year, and Jin's hanging heart has long been put down.
He looked at Hades staring at him blankly, and a smile appeared on Jin's electronic screen.
":) I want to retire, sir, please approve."
Hades's expression turned into a heartbroken expression.
"Jin, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and it's still dark--" Hades gritted his teeth. Long before, Jin had shown a sense of alienation. After ten thousand years of work, Hades might understand Jin, "But if you really feel too tired, then I approve."
Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am grateful to hear this,"
He reached out and took the wine glass handed over by Hades. There was pure Barbarus wine in it. Jin poured it into his feeding port and heard the sound of the metal pipe being corroded.
The sage turned off the damage alarm of the feeding pipe.
"I don't have big ambitions," Jin said, listening to the hissing sound coming from his body. "Back then on Mars, I just wanted to survive. You didn't hold grudges and promoted me," Jin paused, "and Kirkland." "After you left, there were several times, probably more than 40,000 times, I thought about leaving, but in the end I gritted my teeth and held on. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. First, Kirkland's provocation brought me back, and second, I also hope to do something. I agree with your point of view and hope that all humans will do the same." Jin was silent for a while, he looked at Hades, the sage might know that this was a bit inappropriate, leaving when Pluto was in urgent need of talents, but as he said, he was a little tired. Jin was not like Kirkland, he was not a madman. For Jin, the current time is not that Pluto needs talents, but that he has confirmed that Pluto is still the technical sergeant on Mars. He confirmed that he was not needed, a tiny sage, to stop the out-of-control Pluto. The atmosphere was a bit depressing, even Magnus sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and he just kept reading without moving.
"...Thanks for your hard work, Jin," Hades said, "Then you can retire without worry, at least I can hold on for a while."
"You can lead the revival of mankind," Jin said, he turned his head to look at the noise in the hall, "Countless talented people have come for you. I don't have any talent, unlike Kirkland who led the research and development of the slingshot. I just took advantage of the opportunity to arrive early."
"Let me put it this way-" Hades stretched out the sound, the tail sound was upturned, "The son of Pluto you brought up is going to deal with you, Jin."
"It's just that I developed it early,"
Jin nodded, and patted Belinda who shrank back behind him with his appendages.
"And she helped me a lot. You know, I am a natural person, and I was initially judged by Kirkland to be genetically unqualified."
Hades looked at Belinda, and now the way to respect Jin is to take him seriously The chosen successor, he went past Jin's modesty,
"I have an impression of her, but... it's been ten thousand years?"
"There is a problem with her genes," Jin said, "so she has been in cold hibernation most of the time, and was only cured recently. You may know the sage who cured her, Belisarius Cawl."
"I recommend him to you too."
Hades blinked, "Cawl... I may not be able to mobilize him directly now, his loyalty to Guilliman is beyond imagination," Hades paused for a moment, "Maybe Guilliman himself needs to come."
Hades once indirectly attacked Cawl's Primaris Warriors, and Cawl's answer to him was also very simple, he only built an army for that one person, and only waited for that one person to return.
Robert Guilliman.
The regent back then may have more back-ups than Hades imagined.
"He does have some real skills," Jin said, "a thousand-year ambition, maybe that's why Kaul succeeded."
"You also have real skills," Hades smiled, "Jin, if you keep being modest, it will make us look stupid."
"Please forgive me," Jin bowed his head and drank again. Hades also drank a glass and shook the glass thoughtfully, "So what do you plan to do after retirement, Jin? Tell me, let me also imagine my life after retirement."
"I plan to travel, to see my students over the past thousands of years," Jin said truthfully, "visit the grave, or to see the living me."
Hades's shaking glass got stuck,
"... So," Hades whispered, "I have also treated many old friends badly," he smiled awkwardly and apologetically, "but I have to wait until I'm done before I can see them."
"They will understand you," Jin said, "The living will always More important than the dead, although you are Hades, you don't miss the dead. "
Hades waved his hand and sighed, "Drink, drink, I'll give you a few cups before you leave."
Jin raised his glass, and the crisp clinking sound rang out, and the Barbarus wine made a bubble sound like a curse,
After three cups, Jin spoke slowly and methodically again,
"In fact, Hades, I still want to make a small request,"
"Just ask, just ask," Hades said,
"I heard a little news that you are planning to form an archaeological team. I met with Sage α3 Alina privately for this. I found that her tentative itinerary overlaps with my itinerary, so would you like to let this archaeological team give me a ride?"
Hades smiled brightly. Although Jin said so, he still wanted to follow the team, not really not working for the empire.
"Yes, of course," Hades said with a smile, "Then it seems that I can still give you a ride. Alina α3 plans to select a world for simulation first, and I will personally participate."
……………………
Hades shook the cup and stared at Jin's departing back, feeling a lot of emotion, but he felt that this was the fact, and he could not expect a person to remain unchanged for ten thousand years.
For example, Malcador... Hades' thoughts slipped. Since he temporarily agreed to Malcador's plan, Malcador immediately applied for external transfer and transferred part of the army with the approval of Hades and the Emperor. According to the old man, he wanted to make the Eldar drink a pot of hard water.
There have been no major wars recently, so the Emperor and Hades allowed it. This is more like a tacit understanding of replacement. As soon as Malcador left, the proposal to expand the Nirvana system was put forward.
[…It's touching,] Magnus, who had been silent just now, spoke, [Negative Psychic Ogryn, you...are all your former friends and subordinates like this? 】
Hades was silent for a moment, then sighed again,
"I don't know," he said, "but at least Jin has helped me a lot... I... I'm not as cruel as the Lord of Mankind."
The fate of over-hard work may be to become a person like Malcador now.
Hades' voice had not yet fallen, and a resentful voice sounded in the farthest corner of the side hall.
Karas Typhon sat there, with his back to Hades, holding documents in his hands, reviewing documents facing the wall, and his resentment was greater than that of a person who had been dead for seven years.
"I completely understand him," Karas said, "I also want to resign, Mortarion."
Silence, a calm and tired voice suddenly sounded in the coffin on Hades' left hand side,
[Disapproved,] Mortarion said calmly, he lay peacefully in the narrow coffin, cushioned under his body, and the quilt pattern on the side of the coffin caught his eyes, [I also completely understand him, Soulless Ogryn, I want to resign. 】
"..."
"Aren't you lying down now?!"
——————————
[Glory of the Expedition]
Malcador walked calmly on the deck, holding a scepter, his figure gradually rose, and he took off his hood disdainfully, a glimmer of golden light appeared in his chaotic eyes.
The golden flame ignited along the scepter, and the empty deck instantly fell into the golden ocean. The barrier between the warp and reality was distorted. The emperor walked on his hero's road, and high platforms rose one after another, and countless shadowy figures appeared on the high platforms.
The person standing on the nearest high platform was the old commissar Yarick, who was marked as dead by the empire.
The emperor grasped the scepter with his slender and clean knuckles. The dragon likes jewelry, the king loves beautiful women, and he is just a little bit of a collector.
He walked gracefully on the hero's road. Who should he choose? The sound of breathing sounded, and then the sound of landing. The emperor tilted his head and looked at the person kneeling in front of him to pledge his loyalty.
+Macharius,+ the emperor said, his eyes burning with lust and anger,+ I'll give you a chance, are you willing to go out again? Not for the title of God Emperor, but to satisfy yourself, to satisfy your ambition to gallop on the battlefield, to fill your insatiable desire to conquer. +
+... I am willing. +
said the former Sun Lord.
