Chapter 219 Four vendors in action
Guilliman's temper came and went quickly, and the man of Macragge would not fuss over such a small matter.
Looking at his good brothers who were eating so much, Hogg was afraid that his rice warehouse would be eaten up by these gluttons, but he still said politely:
"How about I give you some more food?"
Upon hearing this, Guilliman immediately poured the rice in the bowl into his mouth and held the oversized rice bowl in front of Hogg:
"Oh, it smells so good! Give me another bowl."
For some reason, Hogg always felt that Guilliman was like an old friend. His matter-of-fact tone and the gesture of extending his bowl made him regret why he said that one extra word.
The other Blackwatch members also watched as these cousins ate table after table like starving ghosts. The chef even had to swing his spatula so hard that it left afterimages just to barely feed these gluttons.
It’s not the Ultramarines’ fault that they are so greedy. Although Blackwatch does have a restaurant in Macragge, the food there is too expensive. Since they can eat for free, they have to treat themselves.
Finally, before the cook was almost exhausted, the gluttons could not eat any more, and Guilliman took out a toothpick and asked a question he had always wanted to ask while shaving his teeth:
"Hogg, even though I am the weakest fighter among our brothers, how can those green plants restrain me? This is unscientific. After all, I am also the Primarch!"
Hearing Guilliman's question, Hogg could only laugh and say:
"Um, Aki, don't underestimate this plant. It's a local specialty of Catachan. The trees there will eat people. It's normal to have some special ones like this, isn't it?"
Although he had never been to Catachan, Guilliman had heard of the reputation of this planet. When he thought about where these vines came from, he dispelled his concerns.
Seeing that Guilliman was fooled, Hogg shook off the non-existent cold sweat. In fact, these green plants were completely the products of his fusion experiment.
Hogg, who was good at beating his brothers, once secretly collected the flesh and blood specimens of all the Primarchs. In order to make this kind of vines cooler, he directly added some flesh and blood codes of the Primarchs to this group of vines.
So these seemingly fragile vines are completely the product of a special attack on the Primarch, in order to prevent petty thieves like Alpha from sneaking into the Blacklight.
After having a good meal and a good drink, the three brothers started bragging while sitting at the dining table. Guilliman felt relieved to see that Lorgar had returned to normal and no longer kept talking about gods.
But these three people all experienced a social death event, and Hogg saw this and brought them together, and by the way revealed his shocking plan:
"Lorgar and you, Guilliman, the three of us are now in disgrace. We may have the worst reputation among all the brothers. I have an idea that will restore our reputation."
Even though Guilliman was hanging in the air like a roast goose and was laughed at by everyone, he did not think that he had a bad reputation, but thought that Hogg was up to something weird again.
Lorgar on the side also disagreed with Hogg's idea. Even though he did regard Hogg as a god, during the Great Crusade, apart from doing some religion and fishing, he thought the reputation of the Word Bearers was quite good.
Seeing the two men disagreeing, Hogg felt that he might have been a little slack recently. Now he couldn't even fool these two Ogryns anymore. He pointed at Guilliman and said:
"Old Thirteen, you still have the nerve to think that you have a good reputation. Just ask anyone which of these legions is the most ambitious. Nine out of ten people will say it is your Ultramarines."
Lorgar on the side nodded. He had heard that Guilliman was an ambitious man, and as far as he knew, all the brothers thought so.
If there is a rebellion in the Empire, it will definitely be Guilliman, the guy who has his own army and is very powerful. Lorgar nodded his head frantically, but was kicked by Hogg before he could say anything. "Huh? Big brother, I'm not nodding, why are you hitting me?"
Unlike Guilliman who has his own consciousness, Hogg will certainly not talk nicely to Lorgar, a brainless fan of the strong. As long as he is strong enough, this guy will just go with the flow.
Patting Luo Jia's head, Hogg pointed at him arrogantly and said:
“You still have the nerve to nod, Guilliman is ambitious after all, you are completely stupid.
That old man Huang couldn't even beat me, and you still dared to offend him. You haven't read a single chapter of Imperial Truth! Huangpizi hates religion the most. Why are you still building a Pantheon? Isn't that courting death?"
The two people who looked down on each other, after hearing Hogg's explanation, also felt that their reputation might not be very good indeed, but after being pointed out by Hogg, the two of them also got angry.
"Hogg, please don't criticize us. Even if we have a bad reputation, we are not bad people! Anyway, we would never do something like licking someone else's feet."
Guilliman's words made Hogg feel uncomfortable, as if he had returned to the Perfect City. Seeing everyone's disgusted eyes, he could only defend himself in vain:
"This is not my fault. Who knew that when I was thinking, a pair of feet would walk in front of me? It's all because of you, Luo Jia, a useless person, who left the residents without shoes to wear."
The three people who were not on the same page began to blame each other, and finally it turned into a fistfight. In terms of fighting, these two people were no match for Hogg at all, and they were forced to turn to verbal abuse.
After these three geniuses pondered, they finally came to a conclusion - that it was all the emperor's fault, because he had failed to educate his brothers well.
Otherwise, only a more rubbish person can make others join the same line. The three Primarchs sat together again and listened to Hogg's long speech:
"Listen up, you two. Our reputation is ruined anyway. It's hard to change it, but we can't be the only ones to be criticized."
The two men, with lumps on their heads, felt that what Hogg said made sense, but the problem was that they had no black material at all on the other Primarchs!
However, they didn't have Hogg, so he took out the camera that recorded all the black materials of the original body from his pocket dimension again, and Hogg directly sent them a copy of the information.
Looking at these disgusting photos, the three of them started discussing them one after another, and occasionally they laughed obscenely.
If the emperor saw this scene, he would have to hang these three shameful guys up and beat them, but the emperor at this moment had no intention of peeking. Instead, he looked at the report in his hand thoughtfully.
"Malcad, do you think this report is normal?"
The Dark Regent, a powerful psyker himself, did not voice his opinion, but he made his point clear without saying a word.
Looking at the explosive growth of psykers in the Empire, the Emperor suddenly felt that he didn't have much time. If he waited any longer, the reality veil would become even weaker. He said to Malcador:
"Call all Primarchs!"
