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 chapel.
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.
For mortals, of course.
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 that she had said such simple and crude words.
“It’s about 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 examinations 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 in 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 couldn't feel any warmth all over his body.
He had just unknowingly fallen into that state of suspended animation again.
"Sister Anna, what do you want from me?"
Adriana stopped behind Soshyan.
"It's okay, 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 been in contact with the Astartes in the past. She had only heard many stories about these legendary warriors and knew that they had unusually long lives and were nearly immortal.
But looking at Soshiyang'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's little patience was gained.
"That was a war that almost destroyed us..."
Half an hour later, Adrianna's curious eyes turned into regret and admiration.
"What a shame, so many warriors...I apologize for my reckless question, Chapter Master Soshiyan."
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 speaking, he said to Adrianna:
"New Badab is coming soon. You and your sisters must prepare as soon as possible, although the enemy is unlikely to 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, and after about a few seconds, he nodded, then turned and walked towards the church door.
"Then gather your sisters as soon as possible."
When Soshyan left, Adrianna 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 sisters in the monastery dislike Felissa because she rarely shows emotion, never screams because of her injuries when fighting, and never shows joy during the daily chanting of hymns.
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 came to inform me that they are coming to New Badab soon."
Felissa's pale face was frowning.
"I already know, is everyone ready?"
"Everything is ready."
The Sister's power armor is relatively simple and lightweight, so it's not a hassle to put on.
Once she was dressed, Adriana walked over to the servitor in the front row and lowered her ornate pistol in front of 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's unsettling to me, Anna."
Felissa suddenly spoke, her brows under her hood frowning even more.
"Astral Knights...Those Astartes monks are all terrifyingly silent and 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 speed of sailing 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!"
"For the Emperor!"
