The nun who was discovered shrank her head involuntarily, and then immediately felt ashamed of her rude peeping behavior.
"Sorry, I just...I'm not..."
"It doesn't matter."
Soshyan shook his head.
"I didn't close the door properly."
Adriana Velez nodded and walked into the small church.
Soshyan looked at her, and his superhuman perception told him that the nun in front of him only wore a pair of cloth shoes and a robe, and underneath -
"Are you praying to the Great Father of Mankind?"
The nun who looked up at Soshyan had some moisture on her hair, and her shining eyes looked quite charming without the fierceness on the battlefield.
Of course, it is for ordinary people.
Soshyan nodded silently.
"But I see you-"
She wanted to find a suitable adjective, but found that she could not describe Soshyan's state at that time.
"Stand?"
In the end, she felt ashamed for saying such simple and crude words.
"The focus is on our hearts, not our limbs, isn't it?"
Velez thought for a while and felt something was wrong.
"But shouldn't we revere the Emperor from our hearts to our actions?"
"Yes, but our actions are not reflected by kneeling down, but by destroying the enemy. The limbs of soldiers should be left in more useful places."
After thinking about it, Velez decided to end this topic with strong theological controversy. After all, her theological exams often only passed.
As Soshyan says, she also prefers to take action.
"Chapter Master Soshyan, how long have you served the Emperor?"
This place is different from the lobby. The lobby has a temperature adjustment device that can maintain a suitable temperature, but the temperature here seems to be extremely low.
After just standing for a while, Velez got goosebumps all over his body.
Although she tried hard to control her body, Soshyan still caught the other party's subtle trembling movements.
"Go outside and say it, it's cold here, Sister Adrianna Velez."
Before leaving the chapel, the nun suddenly said:
"Just call me Anna, Chapter Commander Soshyan."
Soshyan walked to the church hall and was bathed in the bright yellow light, but he could not feel any warmth all over his body.
He had just unknowingly fallen into that state of almost suspended animation.
"Sister Anna, what do you want from me?"
Adriana stopped behind Soshyan.
"Nothing, I'm just praying here, and then..."
"From the moment the transformation was completed, I have served for sixty-two years."
"Um?"
Adriana was stunned for a moment, and Soshyan turned back to look down at her.
She was not short originally, but she was still very petite in front of Astartes wearing Terminator armor. The contrast between the two was like an elf in the forest and a fully armed knight.
"Your previous question."
"Sixty-two years..."
She had never come into contact with the Astartes in the past, but had only heard many stories about these legendary warriors and knew that they had unusually long lives and were nearly immortal.
But looking at Soshyan's face, she still couldn't believe that this man was actually the same age as her grandfather.
"About the Astral Knights...what did Inquisitor Quant say about the World Engine?"
Soshiyang was originally not in the mood to tell a story to a little girl, but the other party's curious eyes suddenly touched a memory that had been silent for an unknown period of time. In other words, it was not even a memory, but a memory floating in the dark corner of his brain.
fragments.
In the dazzling afternoon, under the mottled tree shadows, there is a figure holding a book on his chest with both hands, with the same gaze.
The bubble of memory burst in an instant, and Soshyan gained the little patience he had.
"That was a war that almost destroyed us..."
Half an hour later, Adrianna's curious eyes turned into regret and admiration.
"What a shame, there are so many warriors...I apologize for my reckless question, Chapter Master Soshyan."
Soshyan shook his head and said nothing.
At this time, his communicator rang.
"Chapter Commander, we are about to arrive at the outskirts of New Badab."
"I see."
After finishing speaking, he said to Adrianna:
"We are coming to New Badab soon. You and your sisters must prepare as soon as possible, although it is unlikely that the enemy will take the initiative to join the Unbound Soul——"
"No! We will not stay on the ship! We will also participate in the battle against Hell Eye Fortress!"
When it comes to fighting, Adrianna's original ladylike temperament disappears instantly, and she turns into a fierce and aggressive female warrior.
Soshyan looked at her, nodded after a few seconds, then turned and walked towards the church door.
"Then gather your sisters as soon as possible."
When Soshyan left, Adriana Velez also left the church and went to the armament room.
Inside, the nuns had gathered together and began to put on power armor.
Adrianna's appearance did not cause any commotion, but Felissa, who was closest to her in the team, seemed to notice something strange about Adrianna.
Many battle nuns in the monastery didn't like Felissa because she rarely showed emotions, never screamed because of her injuries during battle, and never showed joy during the chanting of hymns every day.
Many people think she is flawed because her will is so cold that she is no different than a servitor.
Only Adriana Velez remained close to her, and they talked about almost everything.
While putting on the power armor, Adrianna noticed that the other party was observing her.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"It's nothing, it's just that someone just came to inform me that we are coming to New Badab soon."
Felissa's pale face was frowning.
"I already know, is everyone ready?"
"Everything is ready."
The nun's power armor is relatively simple and lightweight, so it's not troublesome to wear.
After finishing dressing, Adriana walked towards the servitor in the front row and handed her ornately decorated pistol to the servitor.
The servitor then took out a copper cup with a handle and poured a small amount of holy water on the weapon. Then with the sound of metal clicking, several consecrated parchments were discharged from its lipless mouth.
.
"Something is unsettling me, Anna."
Felissa suddenly spoke, her brows under her hood frowning even more.
"Astral Knights...Those Astartes monks are all so silent and frighteningly cold. I can't feel any enthusiasm or faith from them. They are like empty metal. They are also deliberately avoiding them.
We are not allowed to set foot in many places, and more importantly...their sailing speed is really amazing, as if the subspace is helping them."
Adriana glared at her.
"Pay attention, sister, the servants of the throne have their own wisdom to serve His name. Their personalities and behaviors may be very different from ordinary people, but that is their culture. We have no right to question them, let alone doubt easily.
They, they shed as much blood for the Emperor as we did."
Felissa was stunned by the harsh tone, and then she curiously looked at her friend's face.
"What just happened?"
"Nothing happened."
After placing the brand of loyalty on the weapon, Adrianna greeted the nuns:
"Sisters, the time has come to slay the heretics! This time we will fight side by side with the Adeptus Astartes and remember this moment of glory! For the Emperor!"
