A Human Touch
"Fulgrim, you went to the construction site again today?"
Early in the morning, as soon as Curze arrived at the Saviour Building for work, he saw that Fulgrim had already changed into a construction uniform and was carrying tools, heading to the construction site.
"Yes, today is a very important day."
"You said the same thing yesterday," Curze laughed.
"Haha, every minute and second is precious for contributing to the City of Truth. I'll stop here for now, we'll talk after work."
Watching Fulgrim leave, Curze couldn't help but admire his Dad's skill.
The whole thing about Fulgrim was orchestrated by his Dad.
My Dad said back then that we should send Fulgrim back to school for a makeshift makeshift.
I was talking about the construction site. My Dad told me he posted a couplet at the construction site of the City of Truth.
The first line reads, "The Spring Breeze Ushers in New Scenery," while the second line reads, "Time Silent Years Begin a Splendid Journey."
It was said that it could change Fulgrim's temperament.
To most people, hearing Han Mingxuan say that would have made them think he was crazy, but Curze believed it wholeheartedly.
Because Curze isn't crazy.
He wasn't driven mad by the Prophecies spoken by the Night Haunter; in fact, those Prophecies never appeared again after the day he left the Mine Hive.
He knew that it was the result of his Dad teaching him to write and showing him stories.
In my Dad's words, it's Old Terra Language, isn't that amazing?
Therefore, Curze firmly believed that a couplet could influence one's character.
As it turned out, Han Mingxuan's approach was correct and effective.
Han Mingxuan had his own reasons for doing so.
Fulgrim was initially Corruption by the Xenos creature in the sword because of his excessive Vanity and pursuit of perfection.
Logically, the Primarch shouldn't be so easily Corruption, but what can you do when that civilization is entirely a product of Warp conspiracy?
So, naturally, Fulgrim became the cup.
Therefore, Han Mingxuan planned to use the same method as Slaanesh.
By using some insignificant little tricks, exert a little positive influence and guidance on Fulgrim, and turn this Emperor's Children into Chemos's Phoenix.
"You know what, this Fulgrim is much more pleasing to the eye than I remember him," said the Night Haunter.
"Don't doubt your Dad's parenting skills."
The Night Haunter did not refute this point, because his father had even been able to teach him well.
"Fulgrim has changed so much! If I hadn't noticed him these past few days, I would have thought he was a completely different person."
"Oh, it's Roboute. Good morning," Curze said with a smile. "My Dad's Teacher, you know. There's no student he can't teach."
"Indeed, Uncle always manages to change people without them even realizing it. Even Dorn was willing to listen to Uncle and become a... Construction Foreman on the construction site."
Even the Lord of the Ultramarines felt a little unreal when this was mentioned.
Everyone knows Dorn's personality; he's a stone.
But he just happened to listen to what Han Mingxuan and Curze said.
This made Guilliman wonder what kind of magic his brother and Uncle possessed.
"Haha, I told you, Dorn is actually a kind and honest man, just too stubborn," Curze said with a laugh.
"In my Dad's words, Dorn is the kind of person who, as long as it doesn't violate his principles, will definitely get things done if you discuss it properly."
"And now Dorn isn't the Dorn Construction Foreman on the construction site; Fulgrim is too."
To say that the Primarch, as Demigod of the Warp Physical Laws Ripper, is too overpowered is an understatement.
This applies to both personal charisma and individual ability.
In just three days, Fulgrim had won over the entire construction site of the City of Truth, making him the undisputed foreman, and the Thunder Warriors praised him highly.
Curze, one of the old men in the Thunder Warriors, knew that their feelings towards the Imperium were complex, dangerous, and delicate.
It's not easy for them to approve of Fulgrim, and it also shows Fulgrim personal charm.
"Let's go, we still have things to take care of today." Curze patted Guilliman on the shoulder and led the way into the Saviour Building.
Guilliman followed closely behind, but ever since he arrived in Nostramo, his mind had been wandering.
This feels so unreal.
It's not because it's too beautiful or too luxurious.
On the contrary, it's because it's so down-to-earth.
That... sense of life was too intense.
That kind of social life made up of living, down-to-earth people.
Even the Primarch knew they were superhuman and could not and would not become Mortals.
But here.
They are people who have overdeveloped.
This feeling is absurd, yet reassuring, and even more incredible in this universe.
Upon arriving at the office, Curze did not immediately begin working.
Instead, they started preparing some things.
First, there's a game of chess.
That was the most popular military chess simulation in the Imperium.
Besides that, he also looked at the supplies in another room.
A dozen or so boxes of various Fruits.
Because Horus and the Great Angel have been here recently.
While he and Roboute discussed governing the Planet and planning for civilization, Horus and the angels would play chess here.
Of course, Great Angel love to eat Fruit.
However, one thing is quite strange.
He has a specific method for determining the amount he eats each time.
"The Great Angel calculated it perfectly; the amount he eats each day is just enough to wipe out the little bit of money left over from your daily wage."
"Oh, right, I'll just leave you with enough for round-trip transportation, though you probably don't need these things anyway."
Curze felt a headache coming on after listening to the Night Haunter's words.
This Great Angel is unexpectedly a bit wicked.
I shouldn't have eaten that bunch of grapes.
Once everything was ready, Horus and the Great Angel arrived as scheduled.
The two brothers played Chinese chess, and the two brothers handled government affairs.
The scene is harmonious.
Of course, Curze knew that Horus wasn't just there to play chess.
My brother's true intentions are not what they seem.
He had heard the Night Haunter speak of the future, and he knew the whole story of the Horus Heresy.
He understood even more clearly Horus's feelings for the Emperor.
This is also the most troublesome thing.
Although the Night Haunter didn't appear much after the Emperor arrived, supposedly to avoid suspicion, he still disliked that weasel.
But the Night Haunter was still keeping an eye on the changes in the outside world.
He eventually came to a conclusion.
"Curze, you're in danger right now."
Danger?
When Curze heard that, he was a little taken aback.
"Because of our father's teachings, we were transformed from gods into humans, and the Huangpizi's favorite creature is precisely humans."
"As the most powerful human being to date, he has lived for far too long, witnessing both the heights and the decline of humanity."
"He has seen the pinnacle, so he knows the potential of humanity and places high hopes on it. And you, my young brother."
"You are the Primarch whose fate was altered, the only one among all the Demigods."
"You have all the emotions and uncertainties that humans experience, and that's what the Huangpizi values most."
"And now that you know about Horus's relationship with the Huangpizi, so... you're in danger."
