Chapter 2628: The Dirty She and the Bloody Angel (5)
Jacob raised his head slightly and thought for a while. It was obvious that he fell onto Tosun No. 5. At least he was lucky and did not fall directly into the sea. Now, as long as he finds the relevant institutions of the empire, he can contact the administrator of the planet.
, the company commander and the others should be looking for him, but because it rained and the rescue capsule disintegrated midway, it might be a little difficult for them to find him.
You have to take the initiative to contact them yourself. The most direct way is to contact the State Church. This organization is the most convenient for Astartes to communicate with.
“Where is the nearest church?”
"church..."
Elisabeth didn't like this place, but she still tried to restrain her disgust and replied in a low voice:
"There's a room on the north side of town..."
Suddenly, Jacob suddenly pointed at her ankle.
"You are hurt?"
She looked down at her feet and saw only the scars there, and fear immediately seized her heart.
Then the other party noticed the marks under her neck and frowned.
"Still sick?"
The moment she made eye contact with Jacob, as if she was stabbed hard by a sharp knife, Alisabet jumped up suddenly, covered her face, turned around and ran out, even if Jacob couldn't stop it.
.
"Well..."
He wanted to stand up, but the injury on his leg slowed him down, and because the power armor on his body was completely broken, it became a burden at this time. Thousands of kilograms of weight pressed on his body, making it difficult for him to move.
It becomes a little difficult.
But he doesn't want to worry so much about mortal affairs. Since he is in a residential area, as long as he finds the manager, he can quickly contact the company commander. At least the combat mission has been completed. The clan leader has been eliminated by him. He just has to remember that the corpse fragments must be
Recycle to prevent other hazards.
After thinking about this clearly, Jacob was not in a hurry. After sitting for a while, he noticed the basket on the side and opened the cloth on it to see some beautifully made sweets such as biscuits and bread.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up some, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.
Rough, plain.
But for some reason, there was something strange in his heart. Why did her expression look so frightened and sad at that time?
I don't seem to have asked her name...
Maybe you can spend some time to find her and thank her. If she has any disease, just ask the administrator of this planet to treat her. She is not rich in clothes, and then give her and her family a lot of wealth.
That should be enough.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps and saw the exit. He saw a short figure outside the crack of the door looking timidly inside.
Under the dirty cloak, there is an ugly and twisted face, as if the facial features are squeezed together, the nose seems to be retracted into the skull, and there is only one eye, and half of the teeth are exposed outside the lip gap.
However, such people are not uncommon in the underhives and lower decks of ships. Humans include the mighty and tall Astartes, as well as the wretched and short deformed ones. It seems that extreme differences are an inherent curse of this race.
When he noticed that the awakened warrior was looking at him, his twisted face suddenly showed a panic expression, and he wanted to hide away.
"Stop hiding, come in."
Jacob's words seemed to have magic power. A few seconds later, the deformed man tremblingly walked into the house with a long stick.
"You and that girl are together, right?"
The man stood ten meters away from Jacob and didn't dare to come forward. He didn't force it, he just asked for the information he wanted in a calm tone.
Hearing Jacob ask himself, the man hesitated for a while and then uttered a few vague words.
"Yes...yes...yes...I..."
"May I have your name."
"One-eyed...are called...one-eyed people..."
"One-eyed man? It sounds like it's just a nickname. Where's your real name?"
"I really...don't...don't know..."
Jacob sighed softly, a little helpless but couldn't blame him, because mortals would most likely react this way when facing Astartes, so he could only continue to ask patiently.
"Then what's her name?"
"Suet...no...Alissa...Bate...but she doesn't like...being called that..."
"How did you find me?"
"Forest...Elizabeth...night...call me...crane..."
Jacob nodded in realization. The girl should have discovered him first, and then this one used a crane to get him here. This makes sense.
"Elizabeth... I may have accidentally scared her just now. One-eye, thank you for saving me. I am a soldier of the tenth company of the Astral Knights Chapter. My name is Jacob. I was destroying him at the time.
An alien that harmed the empire, but the life capsule fell out of control and fell to the ground. If it hadn't been for you... maybe my situation would have been very bad. After all, anything is possible in the wild. Is there anyone nearby recently?"
But it was obvious that his words were beyond the other party's understanding, and the one-eyed man's remaining eye was full of confusion.
"Star Boundary...Knights...Empire...This morning...nearby...I did hear that a lot of people were coming nearby, searching here and there in the mountains...Alyssa Bate specifically told me to cover it up at that time...
Whereabouts... She is afraid of being discovered... I am familiar with the forest... I know where... it is not easy to be found... The water flow will wash away... traces..."
Jacob blinked, thinking that it was all thanks to this person that he was not discovered now, but he really couldn't be blamed.
"I understand, thank you. I'll go to church in a minute... Well, what do you want?"
"What..."
"You can get a reward for saving me. Whatever you want, I can grant you a request, as long as it's not too excessive. Do you want a territory? Or wealth? Or a position?"
Hearing what he said, the one-eyed man swallowed his throat, obviously he did not expect such a return.
As he spoke, Jacob picked up the kettle and took a sip down his throat.
"She...she..."
The one-eyed man talked intermittently for a long time, and finally explained the whole story clearly.
Alisabet originally had an ordinary family. Her father was a farmer with some land and supported his family by growing fruits and vegetables to supply the city. However, when Alisabet was 9 years old, her father fell into a "cash crop" business.
In the scam, he finally died in an accident when he chose to seek help from the "law" after losing all his land and house.
Alisabet and her mother had no choice but to find a way to survive in a brothel in the town. At that time, Alisabet could only work as a helper in the brothel because "Mother" would not take shelter.
A useless girl.
But even such a life could not be maintained. When Alisabet was 12 years old, her mother died. She was accidentally killed by a man while picking up guests - the man who was almost an animal wanted to play a doctor and used a knife to kill her.
He nicked the woman's belly, and his punishment was only to pay a large sum of money to "mother".
That is, after that, Alisabet had to survive alone in a place full of money, violence, blood, and a disgusting smell. "Mom" didn't care about her age, but used it as a selling point.
She was sold for the first time at a high price to a young man who came from the city to hunt in the nearby forest.
Elisabeth was also in pain and thought about dying, but thinking of her father's lost land, she still had hope, hoping to save enough money to return to her dilapidated home.
