Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 275 Big Bell

The Tao is a unique way of practice for the Eldar and an important part of every Eldar individual and Eldar society.

The Eldar have many paths to choose from, such as the path of the warrior, the path of the prophet, the path of the craftsman, etc. There are dozens of common paths among the Eldar, and there are countless hidden paths that are still unknown.

Among these secret ways, there is no shortage of evil, taboo, and even blasphemous knowledge and practices.

To put it simply, practicing the Tao is similar to asceticism or Zen enlightenment. Members of the spirit race need to go through a long period of cultivation and action to complete the path they have chosen.

To put it more simply, choosing a path is like... choosing a profession in a game?

For ordinary elves, being able to complete one path in their lifetime is considered a fulfillment, while some gifted beings can choose multiple paths.

Of course, if they are determined enough, some elves can also abandon their unfinished paths and embark on new cultivation.

For example, Mei mentioned the Death Army Goddess Evelyne, who chose and practiced multiple paths, but she did not practice each path to perfection.

And when May said that she came here to complete the end of the journey under Evelyne's instructions, Howard couldn't help but give her a strange look.

This feeling... How can I describe this feeling...

It’s like you meet a soldier on the battlefield. You eat and live together, advance and retreat together, fight the enemy together, and risk your life together. You call each other brothers on the battlefield.

Then, during a break in the middle of the battle, he was harassed by his own people. At this time, the soldier who treated you as a brother tore open his cloth to reveal the four-claw python pattern and said, "I am not actually a soldier but a prince. The emperor father asked me to gain experience on the battlefield. I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I never thought that this guy would be so ungrateful."

Of course, it is definitely an exaggeration to say that Mei's status is equal to that of a prince. If the god of death worshipped by the Death Army is compared to an emperor, then the one who occupies the status of a prince is the messenger of God, Evelyne.

And since Mei was chosen by Evelynne, he could at least be considered a... princeling?

The Eldar chosen by Evelene herself to become her sharp blade in the future, her potential is unlimited after completing her cultivation, and it is not impossible for her to eventually become a high-ranking official in the Death Army.

So in this team, it is hard to say who has a higher status between Prophet Charandi and Mei.

From Mei's perspective, what kind of Long Aotian plot is this?

Howard should have realized this long ago. How could an Eldar sent by the Prophet to follow him, someone they considered Isha's chosen one, and tasked with negotiating with humans, be just a random person? Not to mention that she had mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, in the Alien Sanctuary that she had met Eveleene in person.

At that time, he could only think that this Eldar might not be those ordinary Death Army at the bottom, but he would never have thought that this girl was the protagonist of the Eldar in this story.

After revealing their identities, Howard and the Mechanical Sage immediately understood May's status and the weight of her words, while Esrick and Gloria looked confused.

But Mei showed her sincerity in more ways than just these. She looked at Howard and said:

"This human, Mr. Howard, is also very important to our tribe. His importance may exceed everyone's expectations, including my own. I promised Mr. Howard that I would do my best to save those in danger."

Mei looked Howard in the eyes and said, "Even if that's the only reason, I will keep my promise, and my people will keep their promise too."

"I have the final say on this action," May said. "I didn't want to do it, but for our mutual benefit, for... for Mr. Howard, I decided to use it."

The sincerity expressed by Mei is enough.

The Mechanical Sage did not delve into why Mei valued this soulless human so much. He said:

"Let the bells ring."

half an hour later

"Dang——dang——"

The solemn bells echoed in the night sky of Blackwater Fortress, shaking the entire Blackwater Fortress.

The water reservoir was rippled by the sound of the bell, and some fragile buildings collapsed directly under the influence of the bell. The power system of the entire fortress was affected. Every time the bell struck, all the light bulbs in the fortress would flicker.

Even the sturdiest steel structures would tremble at the sound of the bell. To save space, the entire Blackwater Fortress was connected. When the bell rang, someone placed their hand on the steel support, and immediately they were numbed by the power flowing through the steel. Then, two or three seconds later, the sound of the bell reached their ears.

This five-meter-high bell is located at the top of the Blackwater Fortress, and its surface is engraved with runes and holy words.

This bell was not cast on this planet, but was a legacy of the Trevikon family brought from other planets.

When the Governor's family's spaceship carried the pioneers to this planet for the first time, this bell was also brought along.

When the Blackwater Festival area was still controlled by humans, this bell had already been hung at the highest point. Whenever the bell rang, all the nobles and lords of the planet Karenya would put aside all their current affairs and go to the ceremonial tower.

Because the ringing of this bell means that the highest meeting of the planet Karenya - the Karenya Council is calling participants.

Not all nobles are required to attend this meeting, but nobles who do not attend will naturally not be eligible to participate in the formulation of strategies that determine the fate of the planet. Therefore, even if there are no mandatory regulations, no nobles will miss this meeting to exercise their power.

When the Blackwater Festival District was lost, the retainers of the Trevikon family desperately snatched back this sacred object that symbolized the family's former glory from the hands of the green-skinned aliens, and after the Blackwater Festival District was established, it was hung on the top again.

The last time the bell was rung was four days ago, when the strategy for the decisive battle was formulated.

The last time the bell was rung was five years ago.

Until now, the orbital elevator of Karenya has not yet been built. Every time the Empire supports this planet, it is a challenge and adventure, because the difficulties that need to be overcome are not only the harsh environment, but also the constant invading orcs.

It was during a supply escort back to the ground five years ago that Governor Karenya's spaceship was attacked by orcs. Most of the people on board, including the governor and the governor's eldest son, died in the accident. Only the second son Esrick and a few crew members survived.

Just as this sudden change and power vacuum caused chaos on the planet of Karenya, the Mechanical Sage Vicklor rang the bell and produced the imperial certificate in front of all the nobles, announcing that according to the order of succession, Esrick Trevikon legally inherited the position of Governor of Karenya and Patriarch of the Trevikon family.

As a result, the human fortress of Karenya was able to barely survive. Otherwise, even if a powerful enemy was at hand, internal strife would have destroyed this stronghold that humans had struggled to hold.
