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

Chapter 70 A strange Servant is added
When Feros fell, he actually had no regrets.

Putting this kind of life on any Imperial Astartes, it is estimated that the person involved will have the idea of ​​​​death with no regrets: enlist in the army at a young age, break out of the siege, become a management in the Chapter, and have a unique and beneficial contribution to the Chapter's creed. understanding, served the Empire conscientiously for centuries, and finally, when facing the fateful enemy of the Chapter, gained the recognition of the distant will of the Gene-Father, and ended his life as a vessel for the descent of his spirit in heaven. .

Even just looking at the ending, it was a life full of color and depth.No one can find fault with such a life anymore, so Feros, who had no regrets, never thought he could wake up when he fell.

But actually, he did wake up.This fact even confused him for five seconds, and at the same time he felt a little regretful.This was a long time for an Astartes to react, and even more for an Iron Father.

Then, he realized that he was not buried in fearlessness, but was lying almost naked in an environment that was obviously a medical room, wearing only the most basic covering. Then, he even realized that his limbs were intact. , the physiological system is functioning perfectly, except for a slight stiffness, as if it has never been injured.

This confused him even more.

Just the confusion itself didn't help the situation, so he began to observe the surrounding scene in more detail: There was no doubt that this was a medical room, but the equipment inside either looked very crude to him, or had no function at all, and all should be The size of the facility was obviously only designed to be used by mortals. Including the hospital bed itself, the space seemed extremely cramped to him - he could even lie down here because someone moved three mortal-sized hospital beds. Put together in a strange way so that he can be "held" in mid-air.

This strange arrangement forced him to do some calculations in his mind before he could figure out how to stand up from the "bed" quietly while keeping everything in its current balance.While he was thinking, he finally noticed that someone was talking in the space separated by a curtain, which was roughly the "detection area."

The little inquisitor's pitiful voice came softly from behind the completely non-soundproof curtain: "...But it's really too much. I don't want to be almost full just by taking medicine before every meal..."

"Don't come here, this is non-negotiable." The voice of another man who had never heard of it said slightly impatiently, "Cosmic rays, never-seen pathogens, chaotic energy pollution, and - what do you think? The damage and deflection caused by the abuse of Ortenus' spiritual base exoskeleton! The fact that you have survived until now is thanks to the Emperor's help with his psychic powers. The remaining problems can be solved by just taking medicine. , you should be thankful!"

After the words fell, the snow-white curtain that served as a partition was pulled open with a swipe. A crying Fujimaru Ritsuka held a box with seventeen different medicine bottles in his hands while making meaningless protests. was pushed out.

The person behind her who was doing this was a man in black robes with long hair. He covered most of his face with a hood and beak mask, leaving only a pair of turquoise pupils to prove that he was still human.He pressed his obviously too long sleeve against Fujimaru Ritsuka's back, just like that, driving her out of the small space. His other hand was also hidden in the sleeve, and he didn't know how to separate it. The sleeves also held a brass-colored cane that was coiled around a long mechanical snake and had a sharp bottom. It seemed impossible for the center of gravity to support it standing normally on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the man who did not look like a medical officer, but seemed to be performing the functions of a medical officer, raised his eyes and met Feros's gaze.At this moment, the latter suddenly noticed that there was a faint golden light that did not look like human beings under the other party's seemingly green eyes.

——Also, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"If you wake up, leave the infirmary (my territory) as soon as possible." Without greetings, no further examination, or even concern, the man in black just said this to his face the moment he saw his consciousness clear, "Get well." Patients cannot provide cases, which means you are useless from the moment you return to normal, useless guys don’t take up a lot of space here.”

As he spoke, the long mechanical snake coiled around the cane floated up out of thin air, went around behind Feros, almost physically poked his spine, and drove him and Fujimaru Ritsuka together from the infirmary. Out the door.The silver-white metal plate smoothly bites behind the two people. Feros, who didn't fully realize what happened, is still thinking: Where is the anti-gravity engine installed on that snake?
"Uh, Mr. Feros, don't take it too seriously." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was holding a big pillbox, murmured nervously to the side, "Asclepius has such a... character. In addition, he is very interested in I am very stubborn about things like 'the original form of human beings', and I can't change my mind for a while and look at the matter of strengthening and transformation in any sense..."

In fact, it was at this moment that Feros finally felt that his brain was starting to operate in a normal way.

"It's nothing. I don't care." The Iron Father finally realized that he should be concerned about other current situations, "How is the main power room of the Claw of Destruction?"

"I don't know." Fujimaru Ritsuka answered confidently, "After the battle, I took you back to my ship here, and then I was busy with a lot of things... Anyway, it has been three days now. After that, I just had time to do a physical check-up."

"..." Feros remained silent for a moment, "I mean, how was the battle in the main power room resolved in the end?"

"?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked very confused, "Do you want to hear about the Iron Hands' sergeants' rush to repair the energy supply pipeline?" - In her opinion, there was really nothing to say about that battle.After conjecturing that the "keeper" is actually a creation of some kind of ritual magic, what remains is the question of borrowing Medea's spirit base, a "Rule Breaker" .The "Anti-Magic Noble Phantasm" passed down from the Gods can break the magic effects of any pierced object, including magic contracts and living beings born from magic; the same can be said for the chaos ritual runes inside the power room. This dagger with almost no actual combat performance is meaningless in front of it.

The biggest obstacle to the whole thing was, firstly, that after the spell effect of the Chaos Ritual was lifted, the main power room that had been forcibly twisted out of the six passageways was restored to its original state, which caused a little confusion in terms of personnel deployment and transportation issues; secondly, The energy generated by the reactor had no place to go and might cause a leakage accident. As a result, Fujimaru Ritsuka had to wait until the members of the Steel Hands were thoroughly prepared for repairs before taking action.

From the perspective of Feros, who did not have the above knowledge reserves, the whole matter was still a mist shrouded in clouds and mountains.But considering that the person in front of him was a judge, he automatically interpreted this answer that seemed to him to be very evasive as "don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask", and changed the subject in a good-natured manner: "Where are we now? "

His original intention was to ask which area of ​​the galaxy they had reached after jumping out of subspace.When they measured the Mandeville Point with Adjutant Fish and Debit, they had already realized that the Claw of Destruction was somehow involved in a subspace undercurrent - the Iron Hands were in the Obscurity Star Territory The Triken star system jumped into the subspace, and then after an accident, it was hit by the Lion's Mane entering the subspace from the ghoul stars.Within the subspace, the navigator can roughly determine the appropriate location for jumping out, but he cannot be 100% sure where this location corresponds to in the physical universe. Therefore, after leaving the subspace, the ship often still needs to determine the current location. position for further calibration.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts were obviously not on the same line as Feros's.She did answer the question "Where are we now?", but the answer she gave was not the answer Feros expected.

"We are on the Stormbound, my boat." She turned around in the corridor naturally, found the right direction, and then started to move, "Follow me to find your power armor. I can't call you Walking around like this—ah, that’s right.”

As if she suddenly remembered something, she turned around and pointed at Feros's left hand, which had been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic limb during the abandonment ceremony when he joined the battle group: "I suggest you go train first. You need to get used to it in a place like a room for a while, and then you can use that hand to hold things."

Feros looked at his prosthetic limb inexplicably.He had a vague impression of "it was broken in the last battle", but to him, "the prosthetic limb was repaired by the pharmacist after entering the infirmary". Very normal.

"What's wrong?" Out of caution, he asked, and then found a little embarrassment on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face:
"It's like this... Asclepius doesn't, uh, agree with this kind of mechanical modification. Naturally, he didn't repair your prosthetic limb."

But from the perspective of a forge master, it seems to have no problem.

Feros tried to move the fingers of the prosthetic limb, and then tried to make a fist. Then he tested the flexibility of the wrist joint and confirmed that all transmission mechanisms were sensitive and appropriate.Then, confused, he said: "I don't think there's anything wrong."

In fact, its performance in handling details may be better than the original version that Feros himself debugged.The Iron Father became curious about the Tech-Priest (presumably) whom he had not yet met.

"Actually, I don't understand it either, but I just intuitively think there might be something wrong with its power output..." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked away inexplicably, "Because Mr. Ferus's whole body was all over when he was repairing it. The atmosphere seems to say 'I want to do something awesome', like this..."

"What if—wait, who?"

"Huh? Mr. Ferrus Manus?" Fujimaru Ritsuka took it as a matter of course when he mentioned the deceased. "It doesn't matter if others are surprised, why are you also like this? You should see him during this period." It’s better to do it earlier than me.”

Markan Feros, the Iron Father, was once again confused at the moment, and even wondered whether he should add a few more thinking enhancement components to himself.

——Looking at the bright side, at least now, he won't regret that he didn't die before.
