As expected by Soshyan, not long after sending out the news that Velez had recovered, the Ebony Holy Grail Church sent the nearest team to pick her up, and it only took less than a week.
Within this week, Velez's condition has recovered very well, both physically and mentally.
Moreover, her personality has returned to the same as before she was poisoned, and there is no abnormality when she just woke up. This also makes Soshyang feel a lot more at ease. After finishing the things at hand, he will accompany her to see the scenery around the planet.
Before Velez left, Soshyan also gave her a finely crafted power sword, hoping that she could use it to protect herself in the future.
Velez readily accepted, then boarded the monastery's transport boat and headed straight for the warship in orbit.
The reason they are so anxious is that after experiencing the last serious failure, the leadership of the monastery was almost wiped out. Later, the local church sent people to temporarily take over, but now that the number of people in the monastery has generally recovered, they need to start again.
elect their leaders.
Velez, who has relatively senior qualifications, is even qualified to run for the rank of nun.
"I hope you can find your way back..."
Outside the monastery of the Astral Knights Chapter, at the height of Soames Peak, the pine forest covered with white snow is swaying in the wind. Soshyan, wearing power armor, is standing on a protruding rock, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.
The wake of the transport plane is slowly fading——
Suddenly, there was the sound of soft footsteps behind him, which was the sound of a light-bodied man stepping on the falling snow.
Without looking back, Soshyan knew who it was.
"Did you do something to her?"
Soshiyang raised his head slightly, looked at the falling snowflakes in the air, and replied calmly:
"Ready to condemn me?"
"How dare I? I'm just weird."
Veronica, dressed in a green shirt, was like a nimble deer, jumping up and down in the snow, and arrived behind Soshyan in the blink of an eye.
"How did you find out there was something wrong with her?"
"Why do you care about this?"
"After I went back, I checked the classics and found that the way she behaved after she woke up was probably because her soul had left her body during her coma. That's why her surface consciousness and deep consciousness were so closely entangled."
"The soul leaves the body..."
Soshyan thought for a moment, but he didn't know what the consequences would be, and Kayan didn't tell him about it.
"Are there any adverse reactions in the future?"
"Ha, I thought you didn't care about her anymore."
Soshyan glanced at her and was too lazy to answer.
Seeing him like this, Veronica immediately stuck out her pink tongue and made a face at him, and then replied slowly:
"It won't be anything. I've already checked her soul. There's nothing wrong with it. And didn't you also find someone to check it?"
"Then why did you come to me?"
"Nothing, just a few questions."
Veronica walked to Soshyan, looked up at the last trace of the blue sky, and whispered:
"Silly man, do you know what her dream is?"
Soshyan withdrew his gaze and turned to stare at the bottom of the mountain. It was originally a deserted place, but now it has formed a new town.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Veronica snorted.
"Hesitation is not the behavior a warrior should have."
"Why should I know."
"Didn't you say that you are friends with her? Aren't friends supposed to understand each other and even have a spiritual connection? Isn't that good?"
"I can't say whether it's good or not, but that's your habit. On our side, friends... we should exercise caution."
"Tch, you are still like that, cold and boring."
"Are you done? After that, I'm going to deal with other things."
With that said, Soshyan was about to turn around and leave, but Veronica stopped him.
"I know that you human Astartes have many taboos, but I am still curious. If you met her before you became an Astartes, what would you choose?"
Soshyan stopped and was silent for more than ten seconds, then walked to a pine tree and gently stroked the rough bark of the pine tree with his palms.
"I will be a green pine that never fades, growing in the hot south, waiting for a snowfall."
After saying that, he looked back at Veronica and asked:
"After this is over, when will your fellow tribesmen take you back?"
"I don't know either. The Great Prophet said he would send me a signal before leaving, but I haven't received it yet..."
"Then don't run around during this period, and try not to leave the monastery."
With that said, he walked towards the monastery fortress.
Behind him, Veronica stood in the wind and snow for a while, and then walked slowly in front of the pine tree where Soshyan was standing before, gently stroking the rough tree trunk with her hands.
"Human emotions are really a bit weird..."
After leaving those trivial matters behind, Soshyan quickly came to the regiment's recruit transformation center. Today is the day when the recruits' transformation was completed. They were the second batch of soldiers recruited from Naisen IV after Bahram's batch.
, the number of people was more than the previous time.
After passing through layers of protection, Soshyan entered the core area of the transformation center, where medical servants and machine servitors dressed in white could be seen everywhere.
As for the pharmacists, they are all concentrated in the awakening hall.
When they saw Soshyan walking in, the pharmacists all nodded to him, but Valier was still concentrating on operating the Meditator.
"Wake up the first batch."
Soshiyang did not bother him, but walked around while observing each life-support cabin. The lucky ones sleeping here were all the lucky ones who had completed the eighteenth transformation surgery. The gene seeds had been implanted in their bodies, and
play a role.
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a life-saving cabin, and at the same time a faint light shone into the darkness.
He saw a strong man, his limbs were entangled with wires, the thin needles inserted in his body fell off as he kept twisting, and his face was wearing some kind of mask.
As the resuscitation mechanism kicked in, he ripped it off while screaming in terror as fluid filled his lungs and he was drowning.
The man struggled wildly and banged on the hatch cover, completely unaware that he was breathing freely.
Soshyan just looked at him, and then mechanical noises came from under his feet, the liquid inside made a gurgling sound, and the water surface dropped.
The liquid covering the man's eyes disappeared, but his vision had not completely recovered. He could only feel that there were many blurry images moving outside.
The man struggled up, blinking the thick liquid out of his eyes, pulling off the plate on his chest and the needles on his limbs, and roared like a beast.
The locking mechanism was released, the alarm sounded, and the hatch moved to one side.
"Well--"
Caught off guard, the man fell forward from a piece of transparent amniotic fluid onto a smooth floor, lying on all fours, gasping for air as the broken memories tortured him.
