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

Chapter 160 Taking it for granted is a bad civilization

Inquisitor Hastings opened his eyes alertly and stood up from his chair.

To be fair, the soundproofing of the room assigned to him on the Storm Frontier was pretty good, but it was not thorough enough for someone who paid careful attention to the outside world.At least to the Inquisitor, he could clearly hear the undisguised sound of Astartes power armor walking down the corridor if he concentrated even a little.

He walked towards the door and tried to press the button to open the door without much hope. To his surprise, the mechanical device started very cleanly, causing the two pieces of metal in front of him to slide open, revealing that the outside of the room was not very stylish. Outside the "Empire", everything is an ordinary corridor.

He was not restricted in his movements. This made Hastings stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment that could be ignored.He then poked his head out of his room and looked at the person who had just passed by.Then, naturally, they happened to meet the eyes of the two people who heard the mechanical sound of opening the door and turned back to see the situation.

One of them is Arjuna, some sort of warp entity.While there were certainly questions surrounding the matter, at least Hastings had been aware of his presence in the previous hours and had convinced himself to let it go for the time being.But the other one, obviously the Astartes who made the sound of footsteps that drew him out of the room——

Hastings expected to see a Night Lord or a "Fallen Angel", but he did not expect that he would see a Black Templar Grand Marshal - even judging from the sword, he was also an Emperor. Royal champion.

The reason why he took the time to come out of the room was of course that he had anticipated this scenario and had prepared a draft.He was going to ask to follow them and see what they were doing.Success is naturally a good thing, but failure can also be used as a trial.But the identity of the person who appeared in front of him was so unexpected that all the words he was about to say were blocked in his throat.

During the few seconds that Hastings was delayed due to daze, the Black Templar spoke first: "I'm pretty sure there was no such person on board the Stormbound before."

"This is Judge Sibylla Hastings." Arjuna introduced calmly. "The Master believes that Kylia needs a psychic teacher. This man once served on the Psychic Council of the Imperial Regent. The gentleman in the picture might be suitable."

As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave, as if Inquisitor Hastings was some nobody important and unworthy of attention.After hearing these explanations, the Black Templar just nodded to him, and finally turned around and continued walking along the corridor.

Hastings, who was a little angry, simply came to the corridor and followed the footsteps of the other two people: "What happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Arjuna gave an expected answer.But what is surprising is that apart from this, he gave no more instructions - not even restrictive instructions such as ordering Hastings to go back to his room and stay quiet.The same goes for the black temple hanging behind him, as if for them, getting to their destination immediately without being disturbed is the most important thing.

If something similar had happened aboard the Macragge's Glory, the Inquisitor would have gone back to his assigned room without saying a word and pretended not to have seen anything.But this was the Stormbound, so Hastings kept walking, taking advantage of the loophole and following at the end in a dignified manner.

Savita was completely dead.There was even a warning sign on his body that read "I'm sorry, I should have thought before I spoke" in Gothic. Opposite him, in the corridor of the Stormbound, there was the snickering of Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who was standing next to him. , couldn't cheer him up to reply.

Two hours ago, he had made grand remarks to everyone else to the effect that "I have used my psychic powers to peer into the spiritual world of the original body, and I think it is not that difficult after all." "Dream of Corax" Fujimaru Ritsuka performs mental synchronization.The good news is that, two hours later, he is still alive and has not suffered any irreversible mental damage. The bad news is that he failed completely, failed to achieve any tactical goals, and got himself involved in vain.

The Primarch and the spirit of the Primarch cannot be generalized.In the spiritual world of Konrad Curze, it can be said that almost all aggression mainly comes from the original body himself.To Corvus Corax, he himself was perhaps the most harmless part of his spiritual world. "Oh, who would have thought that this would be the case?" The half-incubus demon said beside Jeanne Alter, standing and talking without pain in her back. "But Ritsuka will definitely be fine. She can withstand the Court of Frustration. My good boy—pffff—"

Unable to endure it, Jeanne Alter punched Merlin directly in the side of the face, causing the sign on his chest that read "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thrown the Master into a dream" to shake greatly.

"You got into more trouble this time than I did! Reflect on it!" She said through gritted teeth.

"Quiet!" Unexpectedly, the person who scolded these two people, who at least looked like adults, was a little girl with long blond hair and holding a teddy bear.She pinched her waist with one hand and tried her best to look majestic, "This is a punishment stand! You must put the sign straight! You are not allowed to talk!"

Under normal circumstances, perhaps anyone would laugh at the statement made by such a little girl who looked to be only about ten years old.But maybe it’s because the two people who are currently punished have really made a big mistake, so they know that they are wrong, so they really abide by these punishment measures as if they are playing house, and hold up their chests with "crime" written on them. Sign, quietly stand back up.

——When they hurried to the door of the infirmary, Arjuna, Sigismund, and Judge Hastings who had forced themselves to follow them saw this somewhat funny scene.

"This...what's going on?" Sigismund gestured to the little girl, a little unsure of what title he should use.Arjuna looked at her seriously, then solemnly nodded to each other, and then explained:
"This is Abigail Williams," he said, "and we don't want to use it as a last resort."

"I don't think things will get to that point..." Merlin said with a dry smile, but then the girl herself retorted urgently:
"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing! How could there be such an irresponsible adult!" Abigail sounded like she was about to cry. "So much black stuff! What if it all flowed into the 'hole'?" what to do!"

Seeing that another inexplicable farce was about to take place, Arjuna obviously had no intention of participating in it.He just calmly opened the door to the infirmary, allowing everyone to see Asclepius, who was monitoring the master's physical data inside, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was lying on the hospital bed with a frown on his face. .

"We need to urgently interrupt this spiritual connection initiated by Merlin's 'taken for granted'." Arjuna said, "What the doctor means is to try using the Emperor's spiritual power first. Perhaps a short period of strengthening will be enough to make the Master Free yourself from it.”

He roughly knew the cause and effect, but because the process of the incident involved too many idealistic parts, Sigismund, who was still confused about the whole thing, thought for a moment and then gave up asking questions.

At least he could understand that "the situation is not optimistic", so he just nodded obediently: "What should I do?"
