Chapter 168 Territory
Chapter 168 Territory
More than three hundred hours after the audience with Slaanesh, in the Warp, Vlockfang.
Countless celestial bodies float in the strange warp space. These celestial bodies are projections of hundreds of planes of reality. After being distorted by the warp space, the raging energy of the Sea of Souls permanently changes these planets, making them blasphemous and absurd.
Some of these planets are shrouded in storms year-round, some have become dens of blood and slaughter, and some have even been given life, opening a giant eye that can be observed on an astronomical scale.
Among the many planets in the subspace, Flockfang is definitely an outlier.
Looking down from space, Flockfang has a clear and transparent atmosphere and clean oceans. The open and flat continents are covered with green plants, and the towering peaks are topped with white snow caps.
Even in the real universe, this planet is a rare paradise world.
This planet belongs to Freya, the great demon under Slaanesh, and it is Freya's fiefdom.
Next to a seaside harbor in Flockfanger, there is a gorgeous and luxurious palace built with white stone bricks. In the pavilion in the palace garden, Howard and Freya are drinking afternoon tea together.
The two-meter-long small wooden table was covered with a lake blue printed tablecloth. Howard and Freya sat on bamboo chairs at the two ends of the table. Various exquisite pastries and sweets were placed on the table, and in the middle was a small tower made of white chocolate containing macarons and cakes.
The human girl in quaint clothes poured rose-colored tea for Howard, then stepped aside, waiting for instructions from Howard or Freya at any time.
Howard picked up the teacup. It was very thin, as if it would break if he squeezed it a little harder. The glaze on the cup was even and the outside was painted with beautiful blue colors. The rose-colored tea in the cup reflected Howard's face.
Although Howard was a country bumpkin in the past, he could see that this teacup was definitely not cheap. If he had accidentally broken one in the past, half a year's or a year's salary would probably not be enough to compensate for it.
"What? Still don't dare to drink?" Freya asked with a smile.
Freya was dressed brightly and beautifully at this time. She wore a thin light golden long dress, with large areas of skin exposed on her chest and back. Her waist was tied with a fresh garland. Most people did not dare to wear it like this, because if the fabric could not hold up the chest, a slight gust of wind would expose her. Moreover, when the clothes were too bright, it would easily look disproportionate if the face could not keep up. But Freya had no such concerns at all, because this beautiful and eye-catching dress was tailor-made for her.
He wore no shoes, for even in the gardens and palaces he could walk barefoot without collecting dust, and his feet changed from hooves back to that of a human or eldar.
After hearing Freya's question, Howard picked up the teacup and took a sip, answering Freya's question with practical actions.
"Then what were you thinking about just now?" Freya asked.
Howard put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and replied, "For humans, this place is too... normal."
According to Earth's time, Howard should have lived here for almost half a month. This half month could almost be considered the most leisurely time for him since he was taken away by the Blood Angels.
Although Slaanesh agreed to release Howard back to the real universe, he didn't set a time limit. Freya once asked Howard where he wanted to go. Howard thought to himself, "I want to go to Holy Terra," but he couldn't tell the devil about this destination, so Howard shook his head and said he didn't have any particular place he wanted to go.
Howard didn't have any particular place he wanted to go, and Freya couldn't find a particularly good opportunity to let Howard go back, so Howard was stranded in the subspace and was finally taken to Freya's own territory.
During the past half month, Freya took Howard to eat, drink and have fun on this planet. Howard also learned that there are about one million people on this planet. These people are mainly humans, with a very small number of elves and other aliens. The only purpose of these people is to serve Freya.
The farmers grew the best crops for Freya, the female workers wove the most gorgeous clothes for Freya, the herdsmen grazed sheep for Freya, the winemakers brewed the sweetest wine for Freya, and the fishermen offered Freya the fattest fish from the deep sea.
In addition, Freya also employed a large number of musicians and painters, as well as a whole dance team and a whole troupe, whose duty was to please Freya.
Regardless of whether the residents of this planet are male, female, or any other gender, and regardless of their occupation, each one has a stunning appearance. Howard is the ugliest person on the planet.
All I can say is that this demon knows how to enjoy it.
But this is also the problem. Freya's way of enjoying herself is too normal, so normal that she doesn't seem like a demon.
"You don't like it here?" Freya asked. "I do have a planet for producing engines, or a planet with a womb. If you don't like it here, I can send you to one of those planets."
Howard shook his head decisively.
Freya couldn't help but laugh at Howard's nervous expression. She explained to Howard, "I have many ways to kill boredom, and this is just one of them. Different ways of playing can bring different kinds of fun. If I only play one game every day, I'll want to change things up."
"Then how did the people on this planet... and others... come from?" Howard asked the question that had been puzzled him for the past few days.
"After I defeat the enemy, I will choose the most attractive mortal captive. With just a simple training, they will be willing to serve me." Freya did not hide anything about this. "Of course, sometimes the desperate prayers of painters and musicians will attract my attention. I will help them achieve the achievements and fame they desire in reality. Similarly, when their wishes are fulfilled, they must come here to serve me.
"And some others, like Sarah..." Freya hooked her finger at the maid who had just poured tea for Howard. The maid lowered her head and walked respectfully to Freya, bowed slightly and said, "Master."
Freya picked up the teacup and poured the tea on her calves.
"Good girl." Freya touched Sala's head and smiled at the human girl who looked a little timid and shy in her teens. "I think I'm dirty."
"Master, I understand. Please allow me to serve you." Sarah nodded obediently. She put aside the plate she had been holding to her chest and knelt down. Then she tucked the hair hanging on her forehead behind her ears and gently licked the tea on Freya's calves and feet with her tongue.
"Sarah is a child born on this planet. She knows nothing about the outside world. They are the simplest and purest, so I will give them extra kindness." Freya raised her foot and stepped on Sarah's face, crushing the girl to the ground. But despite this, Sarah was still using her tongue to clean Freya.
"Extra kindness?" Howard didn't quite understand what this meant.
"These mortals will eventually grow old. Wrinkles will appear on the faces of young men and women, artists' inspiration will dry up, and farmers will become too old to work. They will grow ugly and lose their value, and then I will dispose of them," Freya replied. "But I really can't bear to part with children like Sarah, who has been with me since childhood."
At this point, Freya glanced at the puppy-like girl at her feet and said, "So, Sarah, if you really get old and ugly one day, don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
"Yes, Master." The girl raised her eyes and answered Freya's question, then continued to clean Him.
"Master! Master!" At this moment, a maid with a somewhat flustered look ran over with her skirt lifted up, then leaned close to Freya's ear and whispered something.
After the maid finished speaking, Freya waved her off, then looked at Howard and said, "It looks like there's another guest here."
