Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 354 Staff

"You mean..." Hearing this, the nun opened her eyes wide: "You mean..."

"You mean..."

But the nun couldn't tell what Howard was talking about, so her voice gradually lowered.

Howard understood this sister's brain circuits very well. It was indeed a bit difficult for her little brain, which might not be particularly smart, to understand the logic. The nun was obviously in a state of "feeling that she understood but couldn't tell where she understood it."

If you understand.

Maybe if the nun sipped the food for a while she could figure it out, but they didn't have the time, so Howard said bluntly:

"Don't be limited by the choices given by the Mechanical Sage. Why do you have to listen to him and hand over this energy source to him? Is he qualified to handle this thing?"

Then he asked Mei: "Mei, can you represent the entire Eldar?"

Mei shook her head.

"Then can you fully represent the Death Army?" Howard asked.

"Only the High Priest and the Shadow of Death can fully represent us," Mei replied.

"Then we already know that the Mechanical Sage cannot represent the Empire, and Miss Mei cannot represent the Death Army. And this thing looks like it's no small matter. So the answer is obvious."

"Whether this thing stays or goes is not something you or I can decide," Howard said.

Suppose you are a low-level bank clerk with a credit limit of only one million. Then one day a big client suddenly comes in to handle a business worth one billion. What should you do?

What else can I do? Report it to my superiors!

Once you understand this, everything becomes clear.

So the current problem is whether we can contact our superiors.

"Ms. Mei, you said you were an Eldar chosen by Evelyne. So, can you contact her?"

Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Although this is an act of usurpation and very troublesome, it is not impossible."

OK, we can contact the leaders of the Eldar.

"Sister, as a combat nun trained in a monastery, are you able to contact the higher-ups of the empire? For example, the Regent or the High Lord?"

The nun looked at Howard strangely and replied, "No."

Well, it is understandable. With the empire's bloated administrative system that is even more chaotic than chaos, unless the nun knows some important person, it would be a pipe dream for her to contact an imperial ruler of this level with her identity as a combat nun.

"Lord Guilliman?" Mei unexpectedly spoke again at this time: "I think the High Priest can contact him."

"Perhaps we don't need your high priest." Unexpectedly, the nun spoke again at this time: "The governor of this planet... it seems his family has some history. Although it has declined now, we may be able to make some attempts through him. Perhaps he still has some old contacts?"

OK, now we can contact the leaders of the empire. Although it is not as stable and reliable as contacting Evelyne, there is finally a way.

"That's my stance," Howard said after his analysis. "We can't decide who owns this energy source. My suggestion is that we bypass this planet, especially bypassing the Mechanical Sage and the Governor, and let the leaders of both sides make the final decision on whether to keep or remove this energy source. That's my final opinion."

He looked at Mei and said, "Mei, this request of mine may be excessive, but this is my final request. If I cannot contact the top leaders of both parties or if the top leaders of both parties do not reach a consensus, I will not force you any further."

"No, your request is not excessive," Mei replied. "This energy source is not as simple as we initially thought. The High Priest needs to know the specifics of what happened here before deciding its ownership."

However, what Mei concealed was that if she contacted Evelyne first, and the High Priest of the Death Army believed that the Imperial Regent must not be informed of what was happening here, then she would once again become an enemy of all the humans in Karenya.

Then Mei added: "And now my people are still with yours, I can't abandon them."

Then he looked at the nun again: "Sister, what do you think?"

What he didn't say was that through this plan, he might be able to meet the Regent of the Empire or Evelyne while resolving the problems on both sides, which was killing three birds with one stone.

The nun nodded. "I agree. If this thing is truly of such importance, the Mechanical Sage alone has no right to decide how to deal with it. Handing it over to him rashly would only harm the interests of the Empire."

"If the negotiations between the High Priest of the Death Army and the Imperial Regent yield no results, and you become enemies again, I believe you won't harbor any regrets, right?"

The nun and the elves did not respond directly, but their eyes already told them the answer.

If the time really comes, and they have done everything they can, and if fate really destines them to become enemies, then they will have no regrets.

Finally, Howard spread his hands and said, "Is the problem solved?"

After a little hesitation, the nun and the elf nodded at the same time.

"So you guys want to fight again now?" Howard asked again.

The nun and the Eldar looked at Howard, then at each other, then simultaneously looked away.

Mei took the initiative to step forward, picked up the pistol loaded with dying bullets from the ground, pointed the butt of the gun at the nun, and returned it to her.

The Sister took her weapon from the Eldar, thanked him, and then threw the pistol behind her shoulder armor, where she could not quickly and easily access it in battle.

Then Howard also approached the two ladies holding the energy source. The nun put her hand on his shoulder and said to him sincerely:

"Thank you."

Thank you for not letting me down.

At least at this moment, they are no longer enemies.
