Chapter 446 Black and Red, Planning in the Shadows (31) Negotiation
No, his confidence should be more than that.
The mechanical priests who calmed down finally had time to observe the composition of the team behind the original body. The crowd, composed of representatives of the Inquisition, Gray Knights, Custodes and Space Wolves, stood quietly behind the original body and watched them. Every move.
The belated priests finally realized what dire consequences the Heper Forge World they represented would face if there were safety issues with the original body here.
"Information shielding." The foundry director used the laser generator on his body to send out a signal in a covert manner. The surrounding members of the religious order understood it and while blocking the nearby communication frequency band, they quietly surrounded the crowd watching the ceremony.
The conversation between the two continued, but after two cognitive changes in a short period of time, the initiative was no longer in the hands of the casting director.
"Then what do you want?" Mayne turned to look at Calvin.
Once the other party has obtained this information, it doesn't matter what method they use. This secret was too important to them, and once it was leaked, the siege of other Forge Worlds alone would be enough to destroy them without pressure from the Inquisition.
And since the other party can stand here and communicate with him, it means that he and the Hepper Foundry World are still valuable to him.
"Weapons, ammunition? Soldiers or warships? You must also know our bottom line. Please give us whatever you can."
"I would rather see that Titan with my own eyes." Calvin said in a low voice. He also saw the action intentions of the mechanical monks and began to lower his volume to cooperate with each other's communication.
"That's our secret!" Mayne simply connected to Calvin's communication channel, and the electronic Adam's apple modified according to his vocal cords let out a low roar through the communication device.
"Not now." Calvin looked to both sides with a smile.
The crowd watching the ceremony knew nothing about their conversation and were still waving at him and the foundry director beside him.
While Calvin looked at them politely, the words coming out of his mouth made the foundry director on the verge of anger.
Yes, from the moment this information was leaked, this has been a secret between him and Calvin, and if he continues to reject the judge in front of him, then according to Calvin's implication, this will soon be Hector's secret. The secret between Po and the Inquisition...
Inquisition? secret?
The God of All Opportunities is above! This is not Mayne's bias.
But according to his previous understanding of the Tribunal, with their complicated personnel system of factions, if a secret comes into the hands of the Tribunal, what is the difference between telling it to the entire empire?
"You can ask for something more practical! What does that thing mean to you?" Mayne's voice could almost be called humble.
"Like weapons? The quality of the tactical dreadnoughts and plasma weapons we produce here is very good!
Perhaps you might need a battleship? There are three Moon-class cruisers on our iron ring that are about to be completed, all using the best technology of the empire. As long as you say a word, we can expedite all the processes and deliver them to you within two weeks!
Or maybe you need military support? Although the Black Bee Legion is only a third-level Titan Legion, it also has 25 Predators and attached War Dogs.
There is also an army of mechanical electric monks guarding them. As long as you say a word, they will clear all obstacles for you! "
During the conversation between the two, the march had reached the end of the tarmac. As if he had not heard Mayne's suggestion, Calvin first turned around and said goodbye to the crowd, and then looked at Mayne seriously the moment he stepped into the tower. kindness:
"First of all, I don't mean any harm. That Titan also has special meaning to me, and I may be able to help you solve its problems."
"Evidence?" Mayne's voice was still steady, but the increased noise in the communicator proved his surprise at this time.
"Evidence? This is the evidence!" Calvin answered Mayne's question while raising his palms in front of the two of them.
Under Mayne's gaze, a silver chain slowly extended from Calvin's palm.
"What is this? Oh! Damn it!"
The appearance of the chain did not arouse Mayne's alertness at first, but until the slightly flickering light frequency appeared on it, the foundry director was extremely shocked when he reacted, and even took a step forward uncontrollably!
This is the mysterious code that polluted that Titan! This is the same kind as the strange ruins located at the bottom core of the Forge World!
"Where did you get it?" Mayne asked subconsciously, the greed and fear in his tone were almost beyond words.
"It has nothing to do with you." Calvin's cold words cooled him back to his senses.
That's right, the guy in front of him is not something he can control. When the thing was in Calvin's hands, all he wanted to get it was an honest deal.
"But what I can tell you is that this thing belongs to the category of psychic energy. You can't play with it and you can't get it."
Psychic? The casting director's brain was almost on the verge of shutting down. No matter how many times he was given a chance to think about it, he would never associate that relic with psychic energy. But the chain in front of him was overturning all his conclusions with facts.
"...Is this why we have been failing?" Mayne asked with great reluctance. The real answer was too cruel to him, so much so that even though Calvin's evidence had been presented, he was still unwilling to accept the facts before him.
A relic, a relic found in his own world, a relic that clearly surpasses their technological level, a relic that may be older than the entire forging world!
After several generations of unremitting research and finding nothing, and even adding another secret to it, someone now told him with facts in front of him that all this had nothing to do with him, and belonged to the psychic power that made all the oil guys. Something in a field that is powerless?
For a believer in the God of All Machines, this is a blow like the end of the world!
"Your Majesty, God of All Opportunities..." Mayne, who had regained consciousness, could only console himself. At least this was good news.
The man in front of him has received enough, and there is no motive to deceive him.
And if everything is true as he said, he at least stopped one meaningless project during his tenure and saved the Emperor-class Titan, thereby laying the foundation for reverse engineering of the technology contained in this Titan.
"First" Mayne subconsciously repeated Calvin's words, and then suddenly noticed the missing context. "What about number two?"
"Second?" Calvin's expression suddenly became cunning again, and then he slowly said something that made Mayne almost vomit blood:
"Second, why should I use the chips that already belong to me to negotiate with you? I want everything you said before!"
