Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 232 Accomplice

No? What the hell am I thinking?

This was the first question Howard asked himself after noticing the bulge.

But soon he began to analyze it seriously.

Although it goes against common sense, orcs have no gender. As natural combat weapons, orcs have abandoned inefficient sexual reproduction and use... spore reproduction?

Therefore, orcs do not have sexual organs. Developing sexual organs and producing reproductive cells consumes a lot of energy, and their creators did not give them a reward circuit for reproductive behavior when they were first designed.

Therefore, the bulge in the orc's crotch is very problematic at this time.

Howard suppressed his discomfort and walked to the lower half of the orc's body, hesitating for a long time.

Although there is no such thing as shame in this world, as a time traveler, Howard's past education and life experiences still make him somewhat averse to such behavior.

Moreover, the fact that orcs don't have sexual organs is just a general belief. No one knows what it will be like for a specific orc. If an orc thinks it would be "waaagh" to have a dick, he might actually grow one.

So Howard chose to test it first. He knocked on the bulge with the handle of the dagger given to him by the Battle Sister, making a crisp sound of collision.

Howard breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not that thing.

So he didn't hesitate any longer and cut open the orc's pants with his dagger.

It turned out that Howard's judgment was correct.

There were no strange organs on the orc's body under his pants, but the orc had placed a stone in his pants.

Howard took out the stone. It was a piece of metal the size of a fist, but surprisingly light.

The texture of the metal is delicate and smooth, but that is not the point. The point is that the surface of the metal is covered with dense lines like blood vessels. In these lines, faint blue energy is really flowing like blood. And in each place where the blood vessels are most dense, light blue transparent crystals are growing out from the inside of the metal. Howard lifted the stone and observed it further in the dim light. The blue crystals on the metal surface constantly refracted the light, as gorgeous as a carved high-quality gem.

"Sister! Sister!" After making a discovery worth mentioning, Howard could finally take the initiative to wake up the resting combat nun. Actually, it couldn't be considered waking her up, because it was impossible for the nun to really fall asleep in this situation. It would be more appropriate to call it disturbing her.

"Sister, do you know what this is?" Howard handed the metal he took out from the orc's crotch to Gloria.

Gloria opened her eyes, and her gaze was quickly drawn to the strange piece of metal.

"This is..." Gloria looked at the metal carefully, then said uncertainly, "Is this Karen Yajin?"

"Huh?" Howard was surprised by the answer. "Is this Karenya gold? So the metal you mine has thorns on it?!"

"What are you talking about?" Gloria didn't give Howard a good look. "This piece of metal... or rather the base metal should be Karen Gold, but these lines on the surface... and these protruding crystals, I've never seen them before."

"And that's..." The battle nun stretched out her hand and tentatively reached out to the crystals on the metal surface. However, the moment her fingers touched the crystals, Gloria's hand bounced back quickly as if it had been electrocuted.

"hiss--"

Even the battle nun who hadn't uttered a word when an orc stabbed her in the kidney just now actually gasped in pain.

"This thing contains very powerful spiritual energy." Gloria said while shaking her hands.

"Powerful psychic energy? How powerful?" Howard inquired further. "Compared to... the source of the psychic energy shock you received shortly after you met me, which one is more powerful?"

The Battle Sister gave a clear answer: "Of course the source of the psychic energy from that psychic attack is more powerful."

"Did you dig this thing out of the pit dug by the orcs?" Gloria asked again.

"Uh..." Howard hesitated for a moment and said, "I found this from an orc's corpse."

Gloria nodded: "Very good. Although I don't know what this thing is, it should be very valuable."

"But since you said that this thing contains very powerful spiritual energy, why didn't you sense it at the beginning?" Howard asked.

"Its spiritual power is completely hidden in these crystals. I wouldn't realize it if I hadn't touched it with my own hands," replied the Battle Sister.

Howard frowned slightly. This thing was obviously unusual, but it fell into his hands so easily. Wasn't it a little too easy?

"I guess... I guess those Eldar came to this damn place looking for something..." Howard further shared his intelligence with Gloria: "Do you think this is what they're looking for?"

"Unlikely." The Battle Sister shook her head. "This thing... is too light. Even if it's unusual, it's unlikely to be worth the aliens coming here to find it."

But then she added: "But if you are right, these aliens are really here to find something, I guess that thing they are looking for may have some connection with what we have now."

Plan passes.

Howard said in his heart.

How could Howard not guess such a simple reasoning, but he just wanted to guide the nun to say it first, because this would invisibly increase her favorability.

Since the nun has already determined that he is a liar, he will pretend to be stupid in front of her.

Being smarter than a liar can bring a great sense of accomplishment. When a person thinks that he is smarter than a liar, his hostility towards the liar will decrease, because all the tricks of the liar are clumsy performances in his eyes.

And this kind of people are often the easiest to be deceived.

"Maybe we could take the initiative to ask May?" Howard suggested.

"No!" Gloria flatly refused: "You should keep this thing away and never let those aliens find it."

Howard nodded repeatedly, and then, under Gloria's gaze, he put the piece of metal into his backpack.

"What's going on here?"

Just as Howard put his things away, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the mine. It was Mei who had returned from exploring the way.

Because she and Howard had just conspired to hide this alien, the Battle Sister immediately became alert to May's sudden appearance and her hand had already touched the grenade launcher.

But Howard pushed her down again.

"Don't be nervous, this is not an orc. You need to rest now." Howard said, looking into the eyes of the Battle Sister.

Then he responded to Mei's question: "It's my fault. I accidentally made a noise and attracted these orcs. The nun did this to protect me."

Having said that, Howard turned his head and looked at the Battle Sister guiltily, then he blinked at the Battle Sister with the eye that Mei couldn't see.

The Battle Sister was stunned at first, then turned her face to the side to hide her complicated expression, but to someone who didn't know, it was obvious that she was angry with Howard.

Lying is sometimes useful.
