Chapter 169 Uninvited Guest
At the other end of Flockfanger, a giant strolled through a sea of warm yellow tulips. These bright flowers, which were as high as a human calf, only covered his ankles.
The giant was wearing heavy silver-white armor with the mark of purity on it. A shield emblem was hung at the junction of the shoulder armor and the breastplate. In his left hand, he held a large silver shield with a gold edge, and an open scripture was embedded in the center of the shield. In his right hand, he held a huge silver sword engraved with runes. The hilt of the sword was a gorgeous gold, and hot blood was still dripping down.
Judging from the giant's decorations, he was undoubtedly a knight.
The giant half-knelt down, and a beekeeper wearing a beekeeper's hat fell to the ground in front of him. The Grey Knight tilted his head slightly to observe the frightened beekeeper. After observing for a while, the knight put away his sword, took off his mask and hung it at his waist.
The knight had a resolute face, a white beard, silver nails on his forehead, and his face was full of traces of time.
"Human, don't be afraid. I am the Emperor's angel. Tell me where this is?" The knight stretched out his hand to ask the beekeeper closest to him, but the beekeeper screamed and retreated on the ground as if he had seen a ghost. Finally, he got up and ran away so quickly that only a small black dot was left.
With the knight's speed, he could easily stop the fleeing beekeeper, but he didn't do it. He slowly lowered his half-extended hand, then lowered his head and gently stroked the blooming tulips at his feet. These flowers looked only the size of soybeans in his hands.
Then the knight stood up from his half-kneeling position, looking around at the endless warm yellow ocean with a confused expression.
"Welcome! Guests from afar." At this time, Freya and Howard appeared behind the knight. "Although you did not receive my invitation, I believe your coming here is not out of ill intentions."
The moment Freya and Howard stepped on the ground behind the Knight, Knight Superman's perception had already detected their arrival. He drew out his sword with lightning speed and pointed it at the two who suddenly appeared behind him.
Howard was so frightened by the knight's finger that he jumped back a step, but Freya remained quite calm.
"Human?!" The knight first saw Howard, then he shifted his gaze to Freya: "Eldar?!"
But soon he saw Freya's magnificent chest, so he continued, "You are not an Eldar?"
Although the knight's behavior was offensive, it was indeed one of the ways to identify the Eldar. The Eldar's genes determined that this race had no body fat. Even female Eldar had a slightly bulging chest due to the accumulation of glands, and it would never form a large chest like Freya's.
Therefore, the Eldar appear tall and thin in the eyes of humans, and are therefore nicknamed "bean sprouts" by Warhammer readers.
"My name is Gulveg, and the land you are standing on is my property." Freya introduced herself gracefully.
"Dear guest who has come from afar, how can I help you?" Freya asked again.
Seeing Freya so polite, the knight put down his sword and told her his name: "My name is Cardo Drago. Not long ago, I was fighting a demon, but when I was about to kill him, he opened a portal and teleported me here."
Kaldor Drago, this name is a household name for Warhammer fans.
He was the Grand Master of the Grey Knights, having banished countless demons and achieved great military success. However, during a battle with a demon, he was cursed by the demon. In the end, it was also because of the demon's curse that he was trapped in the warp for a long time.
But Kaldor Drago did not surrender. The demons dragged him into the Warp hoping to use the power of Chaos to make him surrender and corrupt, but Kaldor Drago resisted the erosion of Chaos with his amazing strength and fought against Chaos in the Warp for a long time.
Kaldor Drago had gone to the garden that Nurgle had invited Howard into and set it on fire; Daemons of Slaanesh were sent to tempt him, but he resisted the temptation and slew the Daemons of Slaanesh.
Soon the filthy creatures in the Warp discovered that the Grand Master of the Grey Knights was not someone to be trifled with, so most demons would choose to avoid him. Only the bravest or craziest demons would choose to track him down and challenge him.
It's no wonder that Freya was polite to this sudden intruder. The Grey Knights were an expert force used by the Empire to fight against demons, and Kaldor Drago was an expert among experts.
"Where is this? The Warp? Or reality?" Drago asked.
"No matter what answer I give, you won't believe it. You might as well observe and feel it yourself," said Freya.
"From the perspective of the environment, this place looks like the real universe," Drago said, looking up at the sky of Flockfanger, which was as bright as day without any light source. "But I can feel the energy of the Warp here, so this is still the Warp."
"Then why are there so many humans here, but they don't show any signs of corruption." Drago asked.
"Because I'm protecting them," Freya replied.
"You?!" Drago frowned. "Who are you? Are you a demon? Or an Eldar? Or something else?"
Drago's words were already quite rude, but Freya still managed to hold her temper and replied, "It doesn't matter what I am, human. I can tell you're not here for me. I don't want to conflict with you. If you're willing to be my guest, I'll entertain you. If you don't want to stay here, I can send you away."
Drago thought for a long time and replied, "Maybe I should take a break."
Half an hour later, in the beekeeper's yard.
Under Freya's instructions, a new table of afternoon tea was soon prepared, but the style changed from the exquisite court style to the style of a country manor.
Those sweet and empty fluffy desserts were replaced by thick slices of truffle bread, the elegant and fragrant flower tea was replaced by mellow honey wine, and sliced ham, bacon, sausage and pickled bacon were placed on the table. These rough and simple foods were originally prepared by the beekeeper for himself, but now, they were taken out to entertain this uninvited guest.
Freya and Howard sat at the two ends of the dining table respectively, and Drago sat alone on the longer side of the table. He attacked left and right without hesitation, like a storm sweeping through the clouds. Soon, the third course of food was on the table, and half of the barrel of mead that the beekeeper brought out was also gone.
"Bang!" Drago put the empty wooden wine glass heavily on the table and burped loudly, which shook the wooden frame of the window in the beekeeper's room.
"Brave warrior, I can feel your fatigue..." At this time, Freya walked around behind Drago and put her hand on his shoulder: "Why don't you stay with me..."
"Snapped!"
As a result, Drago waved away Freya's hand on his shoulder.
"Is this how humans respond to the kindness of others?" Freya asked, her eyes turning cold.
"'Other people's kindness'? Do you deserve to be called a human?" Drago's eyes were sharp. "Devil! Don't think you can hide it from me. From the beginning, I noticed that many people on this planet had the numbers of the Imperial Army or the Imperial Navy. Either these people betrayed the Empire, or you abducted them and brainwashed them into your slaves. I just followed your wishes to see what tricks you were playing. Now that I've played enough games, go to hell!"
