supreme commander's bizarre adventure

The next episode notice:

"You... who are you?!"

"Well... I'm a fluffy doll, I'm here to comfort you, that child's injury can only be completely healed by my teacher, come with me."

"What? Your teacher..."

"The most powerful wizard in the world, the greatest explorer, the abyss walker, the Lord of Redemption, Azak Ahriman, um."

Verse 42 from Prospero ([-])

Azak Ahriman, the most powerful wizard in the Thousand Sons Legion, the chief think tank of the Legion, and the first company commander, he walked in a blizzard with a long staff in his hand, the wind was howling and icy cold, but everything was isolated in the Except power armor.

The battle to defend Terra has been over for more than a month, and all the loyal legions are chasing the rebels, but it will take some time to completely stabilize the political situation... But Ahriman no longer has that patience.

After bringing with him a dozen brothers who had turned into scarlet warriors, Ahriman embarked on his journey of redemption in a small frigate. After crossing the endless void, he came to this place that had appeared in his psychic prophecy. Strange world:

In the center of this world, there is a large island surrounded by the ocean. There is a huge abyss in the center of the island. From the abyss, relics from different depths in the abyss will be excavated from time to time. These ancient relics have various strange functions. , and in order to explore the bottom of this abyss, explorers from the entire planet have gathered here.

With curiosity, these explorers, they are called "cave explorers", spent their lives and sweat to explore the secrets one by one, brought back relics one by one, and painted pictures of the creatures living in the abyss. of pictures.

Inexplicably, Ahriman felt that these cave explorers were very similar to Thousand Sons, except that one explored the "secrets of the abyss", while the other explored "knowledge of the subspace", but in a sense That said, there is no difference between the two.

With a glimmer of expectation, Ahriman walked into this small town built around the abyss and settled in it... It has been nearly 30 years now.

This huge abyss is permeated with a strange spiritual force field, that is, when returning from the abyss to a height of more than 10 meters, the cave explorers will encounter the phenomenon caused by the abyss "force field" on the human body, which is called the "force field" of the abyss. Ascending load", the deeper the dive, the greater the load, and the heavier the "ascending load"... As a psionic master, Azak Ahriman exempted this load with his psychic power, and created an adventure from the fifth floor. Return to a record as easy and comfortable as coming home.

At the same time, because of his detailed exploration of the abyss, his noble deeds of helping cave explorers countless times in the past 30 years, and his frank statement that he "comes from Prospero, and explores the abyss in search of salvation", he is well-known by people. Call it in awe:

Redemption sir.

Although, he doesn't have that "white flute".

"That little girl hasn't heard from her for several years, she must be dead..."

Ahriman was walking in the snowstorm on the fifth floor of the abyss. He walked across ice bridges and climbed those strange and snow-covered rocks, but he suddenly thought of his disciple... To be precise, he was a named apprentice Well, after all, the people here have not shown any spiritual potential, so naturally they cannot pass on their knowledge.

In the end, the little girl with the golden hair was taken away by the woman who was stronger than the average space warrior, and became her student until now.

"What does it mean to go to the bottom of the abyss for an old teacher? Am I that old? I'm only over 200 years old..."

Ahriman is not in a hurry to explore the abyss below the fifth floor. According to his intuition and psychic predictions, it is still too early to enter the sixth floor, and the research on the psychic position permeating between each layer of the abyss has not made much progress. , after combining various reasons, he still stayed in the abyss above the fifth floor.

"Travel record, 0021, 0207, fifth floor of the abyss."

Ahriman ordered to his armor, this latest power armor integrates a pseudo-artificial intelligence, which can provide a considerable degree of tactical guidance and other necessary support.

"Content record, nothing happened..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ahriman felt the approach of two life forms in his psychic vision. The soul light of these two life forms was like little candles, swaying in the wind, one bright, A bleak, though unmistakably a human soul, like two little children.

Fifth floor?Two human children? !

"Hey... stop recording," Ahriman ordered. He stepped forward and walked in that direction with a long staff in his hand. "It seems that there will be other interesting people on the fifth floor besides that scum of Bodordo." things exist."

"..."

In a violent blizzard, Nanaki struggled forward with her friend on her back.

"Mitty...Sorry, we ran away...I won't let him do whatever he wants..."

Tears hung in the corners of Nanaki's eyes, which condensed into crystal clear ice beads due to the cold. Those beautiful eyes were full of determination and sadness, and her furry body was also covered with a thin layer of snowflakes. Two rabbit-like The ears swayed from side to side in the gust of wind.

The twisted monster on her back is named Mitty. This child who has completely lost her human form and will is Nanaki's best friend. They used to imagine the greatness and mystery of the abyss together, and they once looked forward to becoming the cave explorer. One day, but...

"We...we will find a way..."

Nanaki walked forward all the way, and there was a trail of blood behind her.

After walking for a few minutes, Nanaki's ears moved, and she heard the sound of trampling on the snow in the wind. With a trace of despair, she raised her head and looked forward.Nanaki thought it was Boduerdo who brought the praying hands to chase here, but what appeared in front of her was this scene:

A tall giant with a height of [-] meters and a long staff in his hand, he was wearing a crimson armor with gilt decorations on the edge of the armor. Small runes were engraved on the surface of the armor, and tattoos were painted on the shoulder armor. White sun ring.

Nanaki froze in place. She knew the identity of the person in front of her. She had seen relevant information in the fifth-floor Bordeaux base before.

"The Lord of Redemption...Azak Ahriman..."

"A talking rabbit?"

Ahriman looked at Nanaki with great interest, but when he saw Mitty behind the latter, the teasing meaning in his eyes disappeared, and he walked around Nanaki who was too frightened to move. After half a circle, he came behind him, squatted down, and carefully observed Mitty who was babbling madly.

A word he never wanted to mention, but he couldn't forget, jumped into his mind.

"Mutation of flesh and blood..." Ahriman withdrew his hand, looked at Nanaki who started to back away after regaining consciousness, and looked at him with mixed fear and vigilance, and said:

"What's wrong with her?"

"..."

"Really, is that so..." Ahriman, who was not very patient, directly read the memory in Nanaki's brain with his psychic power, a trace of anger welled up in his heart, but now is not the time to teach that guy a lesson opportunity……

Thinking of this, Ahriman stood up, ignoring Nanaki's fierce expression that was forced to make people feel cute, stretched out his hand to lift the latter on his shoulder, and said:

"Follow me to the base on the fourth floor, where I end up in the abyss... It seems that we need to have a good talk."

Verse 43 from Prospero (II)

Nanaki felt the warmth, she curled up, but a terrible nightmare followed...experiments, lifting loads, turning into monsters, and Li Mingqing Podoldo.

"Mity—!"

On the warm mattress, Nanaki sat up abruptly, panting heavily, and waited for her mood to temporarily stabilize before looking at the surrounding environment:

She was sitting on a bed that was not too big or too small. This bed was obviously used by ordinary humans. At least the length and width seemed much narrower to the giant Lord of Redemption.Mattress is also very simple color, moderate softness, neither too hard nor too soft, in general, it is really suitable for rest.

Nanaki touched the mattress, then carefully got off the bed and walked outside.

The rooms and corridors outside are very wide and tall. It seems that the house was specially built and refitted by the Lord of Redemption. Combined with the bed she slept in just now and the furniture in the room, Nanaki already knows where she is. ...The base set up by the Lord of Redemption on the fourth floor is dedicated to treating and receiving cave explorers who went to the fifth floor of the abyss and explored on the fourth floor. This kind of work has continued for nearly 30 years.

Ahriman, the Lord of Redemption, is a good person, and Nanaki knows this very well, but she also knows the value of herself and Mitty, a "monster" who can weaken the ascending load and see the abyss, and a "monster" who cannot be completely killed "The value of them is immeasurable!

Walking along the corridor, Nanaki saw some strange paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor, depicting countless powerful warriors like the Lord Redemption, holding what looked like powerful weapons, fighting together Under the command of a red-skinned giant, he rushed towards the monsters ahead.

There are many such paintings, and there are not only paintings in the corridor, but also some sculptures, which seem to be the pastimes of the Lord of Redemption in his spare time.

"alright……"

Nanaki walked into the hall, and she saw Mitty laying on the table, and Ahriman, Lord of Redemption, was trying to feed her something...

"Mity!"

Nanaki ran over and hugged the monster girl who was wriggling on the table, and looked at Ahriman warily, while the latter shrugged and leaned back on the sofa.Ahriman did not wear armor, but was dressed in traditional Achaemenid clothing on Terra, and he placed the armor and weapons in the room.

"Want something to eat?" Ahriman asked, Nanaki moved her throat and nodded cautiously.

After a while, Ahriman brought a pot of thick fruit porridge and two plates of barbecue. He also poured himself a glass of strong wine. He also added some poison of abyssal animals to this thing, which allowed Ahriman to enjoy A little drunken joy.

Nanaki looked at the food in front of her, and then at Ahriman's face. After getting the latter's nod, she began to eat. The delicious food and warm sweet soup made Nanaki eat Tears fell.

Waiting for the two of them to finish eating, Ahriman snapped his fingers, and the plates automatically flew into the sink and began to be washed. Looking at this miraculous scene, Nanaki opened her eyes wide. She scratched her fur, asked curiously:

"Hmm... that... the effect of what kind of relic is this..."

"Oh? Didn't you feel worried about the future you are about to face in the first place, but showed curiosity about the unknown..."

Ahriman stretched out his hand and rubbed Nanaki's head. It was fluffy and felt quite good to the touch. Moreover, the child exuded a good smell, which made the chief think tank of the Thousand Sons make a decision... It can be regarded as making up for the regret of being robbed of his disciple.

"Will you be my apprentice?" Ahriman asked.

"Eh?"

Nanaki blinked her eyes. She really didn't expect Ahriman to say such a thing. The cute monster girl hesitated for a moment, and looked at Mitty lying on the table.

"My brothers, they suffer from the mutation of flesh and blood just like this child," Ahriman's gaze was soft. If it was his former self, he would never have such a gentle attitude... The occurrence of the great rebellion, the change of the legion, his own The sins committed by the father of genes, all these have profoundly changed this once proud psionic master.

"I want to save my brother, but you... want to save your friend?"

"Mitty..." Nana heard the words, looked at Ahriman with a hint of expectation, and asked as if praying:

"Is it possible for Mitty to recover?"

"Yes," Ahriman replied, and after seeing the two girls turned into monsters yesterday, he finally knew why he came here, "They must be restored."

Nanaki closed her eyes. After ten seconds of silence, she opened her eyes, walked up to Ahriman, knelt down, slammed her head on the ground, and said:

"Please accept me as an apprentice!"

Nanaki raised her head, her forehead was stained red by the oozing blood, and tears glistened in her eyes:

"Even if it's an experiment, I won't have any complaints... I just ask you to restore Mitty!"

"...Don't make me look like a Chaos Wizard," Ahriman sighed, "You make me look like some kind of Chaos God's God's Chosen to plunder other people's knowledge."

"Get up," Ahriman stretched out his hand and tapped Nanaki's forehead. The latter's wound healed instantly, and even the pain gradually disappeared. "I'm not interested in treating my apprentice as an experimental product."

"My name is Azak Ahriman, and I am the chief think tank of Prospero's Thousand Sons Legion," Ahriman pointed to himself, and said:

"I know your name is Nanaki. Although I can't teach you psychic spells, I will teach you all the knowledge about this abyss."

"Mmm...Mr. Ahriman..." Nanaki originally wanted to say Salvation Lord, but after seeing Ahriman's expression, she changed her words and asked:

"Where is that... Prospero? It's a country I've never heard of..."

"Oh, that's another planet in another universe."

"??????"

"You will know," Ahriman patted Nanaki's head, the fluffy feel is really good, it made Ahriman want to hug Nanaki to sleep at night...

"However, as my apprentice, you need to meet my standards, otherwise..." Ahriman waved a finger and threatened: "Although I will not treat my apprentices as experiments, others will." Not necessarily, understand?"

"Yeah," Nanaki nodded quickly.

"Very well, first of all, as my apprentice, you must have rich knowledge, firm belief and curiosity about the unknown."

"Uh-huh!"

"Moreover, you must be able to use at least ten long-range weapons and melee weapons such as chainsaw swords proficiently. Of course, I will prepare suitable weapons for you."

"Hmmmm... eh?"

As Ahriman kept telling her demands, Nanaki grabbed her ears in pain, feeling a burst of regret in her heart...

Verse 44 from Prospero ([-])

"Nanaki... Nanaki...it's time to wake up..."

"Hmm..." Nanaki opened her eyes with difficulty, and Ahriman's shiny bald head came into view. The chief think tank of the Thousand Sons Legion said gently:

"You have slept for four hours, and the donkey with the relics dare not rest like you."

Nanaki: "..."

I feel a subtle malice in my heart, what is going on...

After exhaling lightly, Nanaki threw off the quilt and got out of bed. The dim light outside shone through the curtains into the room. She wanted to make breakfast after washing up. Although Ahriman would sometimes help, but After he accepted Nanaki as an apprentice, he became more and more lazy.

"It's been a month..." Nanaki brushed her teeth, looked at herself in the mirror, and recalled her experience in this month:

Get up, wash, cook, eat... In the morning, learn all kinds of knowledge about the abyss, in the afternoon, learn fighting skills, and in the evening, you need to practice shooting.

Ahriman gave Nanaki a monomolecular dagger, a short weapon that is a dagger to a space warrior, but a long sword to the lovely Nanaki, and waited until the week of each week. On Saturdays and Sundays, Nanaki will take this long knife and go to the wild...to survive.

Including, but not limited to fighting with all kinds of abyssal creatures, eating the former's corpses or fallen limbs.

Of course, in case his little apprentice went wrong or was in mortal danger, Ahriman placed a psychic beacon on her body, capable of teleporting her back, or teleporting himself there.

Not only that, Ahriman also took out two glove-shaped things from his collection of abyssal relics. After a simple transformation, these two things had the ability to resemble power fists. It was given to Nanaki as a gift early in the morning.

After Nanaki accepted it with emotion, her training volume increased by another [-]%.

Sometimes, Nana Qi really wondered if her teacher was a super soldier who came out of a laboratory. Although her height and weapons were similar, her gentle attitude and excellent knowledge were unimaginable... He actually Can go a whole week without sleep!

Nanaki saw that Ahriman placed Mitty in a circular magic circle and chanted a mantra to her. The mantra was recited uninterruptedly for seven days, but Mitty still remained unchanged. After the ceremony, Ahriman's face was full of disappointment and sadness...

However, he quickly recovered his mood by hugging Nanaki and stroking the latter's head.

"Ah, Nanaki, take your things, let's go to the second floor," Ahriman's voice reached Nanaki's ears, and Nanaki shook her ears, and began to pack her things... After halfway through, she ran to Ahriman's room and asked:

"Teacher, what should Mitty do?"

"Don't worry," Ahriman said after putting on his armor and helmet, lifting his long staff, and touching Nanaki's head with his hand:
