How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 139: It is not recommended to hide and seek with colleagues in the workplace
The spiritual Arjuna floated in the air, facing a shadow cast by the church structure, and briefly fell into meditation.

Although it looked like an ordinary shadow, he felt that there seemed to be something hidden in it.His senses didn't capture any substantial evidence for him, just a vague feeling, and for him, a vague feeling was worth his attention.

In the past few days, he has read the Otenaus Spiritual Exoskeleton and the operation records left on the Storm Frontier, and has a basic understanding of what kind of dangerous world the Master currently lives in.Therefore, Arjuna did not intend to let go of any clue that might have an impact.

There does indeed appear to be nothing in that position, but it cannot be ruled out whether this is some kind of profound illusion or psychic influence that Arjuna cannot see through for the time being.Of course, it could also be the ripples caused by some kind of warp creature coming and going behind the curtain, but Arjuna thought this unlikely.

The Cathedral of Tyros had been reconstructed into a temple of the Emperor days before.Now, even though the Emperor's will has left it, and the psychic energy on the throne no longer directly supports the operation of the entire system, because Fujimaru Ritsuka connected the temple itself to Parmenio's leyline during the initial construction process, There is no real missing energy in the temple's magic structure that is still functioning.

Although in terms of effect, the protection formed by the energy provided by the earth's veins is certainly not as good as when the emperor directly recharges it remotely, this building is originally an state church, and believers in Tyros have blessed it with their own meager faith. it.The sand is gathered into a tower, and the little becomes more. In addition, the miracle of the "Emperor's Manifestation" has raised the local people's belief in this place to another level. So at least, the temple itself is still very guaranteed in terms of protecting against the invasion of chaos. of.

Arjuna is not a magician. He has no interest in the mysteries of two different universes with different operating rules. However, as a heroic spirit of the age of gods, he can naturally judge whether a temple is operating when he is in it.Now that they are still inside the church, it stands to reason that there should be no subspace creatures from the chaotic side or harmful spells lingering nearby.

His further observations were inconclusive, and logic suggested that danger was unlikely nearby.Fujimaru Ritsuka was gradually leaving the vicinity and heading towards the side door of the church. Arjuna therefore temporarily shelved this issue and regarded it as a suspicion caused by his own nervousness. He left the place in the form of a spirit body and caught up with the Master. .

After he left, the small shadow that he had paid attention to squirmed, and a raven emerged from it inexplicably.In his supernatural perception, He was also aware of the existence of Arjuna in spiritual form, so he went through a similar set of psychological struggles in his heart.Therefore, he hesitated and jumped a few times between several pillars, fluffing his feathers on the spot like a real bird. Then he made up his mind, spread his wings and flew in the air, chasing Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The Cathedral of Tyros is an state church, so its size is in line with imperial customs - that is to say, it is very large.Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kaelia set off at the calculated time, chatting as they walked, and it took them 10 minutes to actually reach the side door.They arrived very precisely 5 minutes ahead of schedule, but the special car arranged by the Ultramarines was already waiting.

The pleasantries between the two parties were suppressed for the time being, and Arjuna, who had transformed into a spirit body, once again had that subtle feeling of "something is watching" outside the temple.He moved to a higher point and looked around carefully, but still couldn't find any target worth noting.This made him suspicious, but the special car on the ground had already driven away, and he had to follow it quickly.

In this era, even civilian vehicles traveling at full speed on roads with complete infrastructure are enough to scare Fujimaru Ritsuka.Not long after the special car started, Arjuna received a message from his master, asking him if he wanted to get down and ride together in the car, as there was still plenty of space.This was indeed an attractive proposal, but he rejected it: it would only take a little effort for the spirit-formed heroic spirit to catch up with this speed, not to mention that in the spirit-formed state, he is not like a vehicle. You need to consider road planning when driving, and you can better observe your surroundings from an overhead perspective.

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not insist, which was exactly what Arjuna wanted - he began to suspect that something had been following them.He decided not to report it to his master until he had firm evidence, but the necessary vigilance still had to be strengthened.

The unaware Fujimaru Ritsuka was carried into the empire's temporary residence on the surface of Parmenio.Once you move away from the regent himself and him, you will find out how many types of soldiers are included in the huge fleet he commands.She was originally worried that the relatively ordinary car she was riding in would be a bit conspicuous, but when she got to the place and took a closer look, she found that there were many similar vehicles.

Like a mud cow entering the sea, the car slid unobtrusively to the scheduled meeting location.Even Diglis himself was waiting to greet him at the door. It is difficult to describe the expression of the think tank director at that moment when he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka huddled in the wheelchair——

"Beep--" Fujimaru Ritsuka himself made a negative gesture and choked back the condolences that Diglis was about to say with a joking attitude, "I have nothing serious, but the wheelchair is rented and I don't use it much. It felt like a loss for two days." Why would anyone want to tell a joke to a Primaris Space Marine?Perhaps the transformation of Diglis's face from one subtle expression to another may provide an answer to this question.

"This is not funny, miss." After weighing it in his mind, Diglis decided to make the matter more serious. "Considering your own importance, please be sure to value yourself more." body of."

"Okay, but it's true that I don't have anything big to do." Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged and said during the entrance, "I can actually get rid of this thing in a day or two (she patted the armrest of the wheelchair) ), after a week or two of rehabilitation, he will be exactly the same as before. But—isn’t this joke really funny?”

She leaned back on the chair again and tried to look up at Kaelia's expression: "Is my sense of humor gone wrong?"

The latter's eyes were sincere when commenting: "Maybe the customs vary from place to place. Generally speaking, we don't agree with making jokes about physical conditions, whether it is other people's or our own."

"...Okay, it seems I shouldn't stay with those bats for too long." Fujimaru Ritsuka sat upright again with regret, straightening his back. "What is the main topic today? Is it strategic or technical?"

"Technical." Diglis replied, "But I would like to remind you once again that the Psionics Council is not only the Space Marine Think Tank, but also members from all walks of life in the Empire who have made achievements in the field of psionic abilities - Astropaths operators, navigators, some other experienced registered psykers, and inquisitors. I don’t think any armed conflict may break out in the venue, but the atmosphere may be very depressing.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "I understand, thank you for reminding me. Kaelia, if you think you can't hold on, just kick my wheelchair from behind, and I will apply for a temporary adjournment. In addition, Arjuna is here During this period, I will be hiding and wandering nearby as my security measure. If it offends anyone’s feelings, I apologize in advance.”

——However, the person mentioned did not follow Fujimaru Ritsuka into the interior of the building.The spiritual Arjuna was still wandering in the mid-air outside - he stared all the way, and finally found the source of the seemingly invisible line of sight:

A very strange raven alighted on the bulge of the building.Just like any bird that stops on a perch to rest, it also looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there were no natural enemies, it began to vigilantly use its beak to tidy up the feathers that were messed up during flight.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the bird from a distance, except for the question of whether its species category should appear on Parmenio, which even Arjuna couldn't figure out.But Arjuna can guarantee with the eyesight of his archer that there is definitely something wrong with this crow——

——Even if in the course of tens of thousands of years, with human intervention, no matter how outrageous the evolution of organisms, a raven should not have five eyes on its head.
