Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 320 Soul Echo

"What do you want to do?" Howard asked.

"We are disappointed by this action by humanity," May said. "We cannot sit back and watch this unfold according to their script."

"Mr. Howard, I once made a promise in your name that we would transfer two human STCs to express our gratitude after we obtained what we wanted." Mei said, "That remains unchanged now."

"However," Mei continued, "given what's happening now, please forgive me for not being able to share this energy source with yours. Similarly, your race wouldn't want to share this energy source with us. In the hands of humans, it's a dangerous calamity that will only bring disaster to you. This is also for the good of your race."

Howard couldn't think of a reason to object.

Then May added, "Mr. Howard, this will inevitably make us hostile to the humans on this planet, and you will be in danger. So I once again implore you to leave this planet with us. Even if you don't plan to travel with us in the future, please at least let us take you to a safe place."

But you won’t be safe if I follow you.

Howard thought to himself.

So he still firmly rejected Mei's invitation: "Miss Mei, please don't talk about this anymore. Just like your race has reasons for not handing this energy source over to humans, I also have reasons for not going with you... Don't worry about my safety, please."

Rejected again, the elf avoided Howard's gaze, and then, without asking Howard as before, she sat on his bed, side by side with Howard.

"Ms. Mei." Howard thought for a moment and decided to break the silence. "You said you had a method to deal with the orc war boss. Could you please tell me the details now?"

May did not answer, but she stretched out her hand in front of Howard again, this time holding a syringe filled with a strange black potion.

"A secret medicine from the City of Darkness, a mixture of Soul Echo and an upgraded version of the Panacea. Like the Last Breath, it was created by the greatest master of our clan."

"It takes a toll on your body," Howard said.

Although he didn't quite understand what this soul echo was, he understood what Mei meant by "the dark city".

The city of Commorra is the largest existing Eldar city, arguably the bloodiest, darkest, and most depraved city in the real universe, home to the most deranged of the Eldar. Experiments that would be considered taboo elsewhere are likely unfettered in this city, so the effects and side effects of the combat-enhancing potions produced there are unimaginable.

"This is the only way," Mei said calmly and firmly.

Howard: "Do you have any empty syringes?"

Mei nodded and took out an empty syringe.

She and Howard both knew what was coming.

Howard took the empty syringe from May's hand and pierced his skin. The negative pressure inside the syringe quickly drew out a whole tube of blood.

"If you really decide to use this medicine, I hope my blood... well, strictly speaking, I hope the power of Isa in my blood can ease your pain." Howard sealed the syringe and returned it to Mei. "Also, have you finished the pancake I gave you?"

Mei shook her head.

Howard: "Remember to bring this food with you, it will always be useful..."

Mei: "Thank you, I will remember it."

Howard sighed: "Miss Mei, can I ask a rather offensive question?"

Mei: "Excuse me."

Howard: "Are you just like this to me, or to all humans and elves... Please forgive my helplessness, but I feel that compared to your race, which is always full of pride, you seem... too kind and honest."

Mei: "Mr. Howard, I have met many people during my long journey of cultivation. One person told me that many times our lies can only deceive those who are willing to believe them. For such people, telling them the truth is actually more helpful."

Howard smiled silently, then said, "When I think about this carefully, I'm really not as good as you."

May laughed along with Howard, and after she finished laughing, she handed Howard a mechanical device the size of a pebble.

"This is my tribe's communicator. You're determined not to leave with us. I respect your choice, but please accept this."

Howard didn't refuse.

Then May casually placed her hand on the back of Howard's hand and looked out the window at the darkness:

"Mr. Howard, it's very late at night. You should rest. I can..."

"No!" Howard interrupted May: "Who said I want to rest?"

Mei: "Is there anything else you want to do?"

"That's right!" Howard's eyes were firm as he also looked towards the darkness outside the window: "It's very important."
