Warhammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 5 Holy Spirit

"How could this happen?" Ai Lin looked at the tutor in the silver coffin in astonishment. He couldn't believe that his mentor would become like this. His anger burned in his chest, but he was soon suppressed by him. "I need an explanation, a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

The servant next to him almost couldn't help trembling, and his robotic arm made a jingle sound because of trembling and hitting his body. "I, we don't know. It's really strange. This adult should not change when lying in the altar, but he... Please wait a moment, this It turned out to be before the rebellion. I'm just a new servant. I need to consult some information.

"Corida, don't check it. Your level can't check the information belonging to this adult. Let's go." From the depths of the hall, an old man came out. He waved away the servant named Corida. The old man came to Erin and bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, I'm the Holy Spirit Hall. The great sacrifice of Eustace, everything here is under my jurisdiction. Is there anything I can do for you?

"Of course," Ai Lin said in an unquestionable tone, "I want to know what happened to the man lying in this silver coffin and how it turned out like this?"

Eustace glanced at the number of the silver coffin faintly and then asked, "May I ask, what do you have to do with the adult sleeping here?"

"I used to be his apprentice, and he will always be my mentor."

"So it is," Eustace, the Great Sacrifice glanced at Erin's chest, which was full of medals, the Order of the Chaos Hunter, the Death Angel Medal, the Gate of Satan, and the Silver Medal of Hellfire. Some of the medals are rare medals that must be obtained by hunting thousands of chaotic monsters, and some of them It represents that this person has participated in those famous and difficult battles and has outstanding performance in the battle. Needless to say, after a thousand years, Ilin has become an excellent battle hero. He has crossed many galaxies and participated in countless epic battles. The number of enemies who died in his hands can't be counted. It is normal for Corida's servant to tremble with fear in front of such a warrior. Love.

"If the long sleeper knows that he has such an apprentice, he must be very gratified, but please suppress your anger and lower your voice," the old sacrifice said softly, "After all, this is the Holy Spirit Church."

Erin nodded. Of course, he knew where it was, and he also knew the rules here.

The Holy Spirit Hall is the place where the empire uses to store the spirits of the empire. There are many kinds of coffins, silver, bronze, black and iron. All kinds of coffins are lined up all over the wall. The people who can lie here are all powerful heroes. Some of them can save themselves. After saving a planet, some have excellent wisdom and genius talent for campaign command, while others have made great contributions to the empire in some aspects. In a word, all the people who can lie in the Holy Spirit Hall are elites among the elites of the empire. They have made immeasurable contributions to the empire, and at an unfortunate moment, their lives are threatened. It may be some kind of incurable disease, or a fatal and irreparable trauma. In short, for various reasons, they will die.

And this will undoubtedly be a heavy loss for the empire. These people are too excellent. When they are alive, they use their talents to create countless victories and values for the empire. Even if they lie in the coffin, their excellent genes are also the precious wealth of the empire. Their The passing will be an unbearable loss for the empire.

In order to save or minimize this loss, the Holy Spirit Church was born. The various coffins here are not simple coffins, but countless small terminals linked to the huge time solidifier. It is difficult for people lying in these coffins to feel the passage of time. Due to the power of technology, the time in the coffin is not a normal flow rate, but it is not completely stopped (the empire does not have the ability to stop time completely), but flows slowly in an extremely slow way. Perhaps thousands of years later, the empire will find a way to treat these people, and until then, they can only sleep in the Church of the Holy Spirit.

So although these people are seriously injured and can't live, they are precious to the empire and can't die.

The old man took out a data board and pressed it. A number of cursors and words appeared on the data board. After reading it, the great sacrifice Eustace cautiously said, "Although you have the right to know the situation of your mentor, I must tell you before I say that the physical condition of your mentor is also an imperial secret. There are many secrets of the empire involved in it. Please keep your mouth shut.

"Of course I know this."

"That's good. Please look here and look at this signature."

Erin took a look at the place pointed by Eustace, and in an instant, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. The battle hero, who had faced hundreds of powerful chaotic soldiers, showed an expression that had never appeared for thousands of years.

Ai Lin was so surprised.

The high priest waited for a while until Erin recovered a little before continuing, "As you can see, it is a handwritten photo of the great emperor. Presumably you know the meaning of this. Your mentor, dear Robert. Li's physical condition was judged by the emperor after his personal inspection, and the all-knowing emperor told us everything. What your mentor has suffered is not ordinary harm, but a terrible curse.

"Curse?" Erin was a little panicked. This evil word made him a little uneasy. "I, I don't understand. In that battle, I was on the battlefield with my mentor. After the war, they only told me that my mentor was seriously injured, but no one ever told me that it was a curse."

"Because confidential documents have a time limit, if you had been 50 years earlier, you would not have had the right to know these things." As Eustace spoke, he pressed the panel in his hand. The silver coffin in front of them floated up with his operation. The outer material of the silver coffin changed, and in a short time the whole coffin became as transparent as glass, Robert. Li's body was unreservedly displayed in front of the two.

"Look," the high priest said, pointing to the body in the transparent coffin, "Robert. There were some changes in Lord Li's body when he was sent in, but one thing has not changed at all, that is, he can't find any trauma from his body, which makes Robert. Lord Li's fall was not bleeding or an irreparable disease, Robert. Lord Li did not fall because of an ordinary attack. Not only that, but also Robert. The scars left by Lord Li in the previous battle are also gradually fading. You should have noticed, Robert. Lord Li's body is unusually smooth. Such a body is not like the body of a soldier who has experienced many battles. It is more like the body of those nobles who do nothing, and more importantly, the body of adults has been continuing for nearly a thousand years. Please forgive me for using this word, but that's the truth.

Erin naturally could see that these were the reasons why he was angry at first.

According to common sense, people lying in the coffin of the Holy Spirit Church are out of a relative stagnation of time. After thousands of years, their bodies will not change at all, but now his mentor, Robert. Li's body was in the coffin of the Holy Spirit Hall for a thousand years, but it began to shrink.

Look at Robert. Li's body, Ai Lin couldn't help sighing, the word "shrinkage" is really appropriate.

Robert. Li was originally a giant man with a height of 1.3 meters. This giant-like height is very common in the Star Marine Corps. In the Star Marine Corps, even the smallest investigator has a height of 2.3 meters, not to mention those combatants.

For ordinary people, every Star Marine is like a strong giant.

It must be mentioned that the minimum standard is far more than two meters, and the average height of three meters is not the normal height of human beings. The reason why these knights galloping in the sea of stars can be so tall is not born, but artificial. Almost all star marines have undergone cruel physical modification. After being implanted with excellent genes, the body of an interstellar marine will undergo 19 large-scale operations. They will have steel-like bones, three lungs will provide them with more oxygen, two stomachs will enable them to eat most toxic food, and two hearts will allow blood to flow more vigorously throughout the body.

Star Marines who have completed the body transformation can easily eat toxic or even radiation-contaminated food. Their bodies are stronger and stronger. Under the skin of each Star Marine is a special plastic shell, and their modified skin is even better than The bulletproof vest on the ball is stronger.

For the empire, the Star Marines themselves are precious weapons, and now, they used to be the best warriors in close combat in the Dark Raven Guard Corps, mentor Robert. Li's body is gradually shrinking. His current height is only two meters. The tutor's body has been full of all kinds of scars. For soldiers, these scars are not only not ugly, but also full of glory and memories. Each scar represents a tragic battle, a touching story. These injuries are engraved in The medal that cannot be removed above the body. Now these scars have faded, leaving only skin as smooth as a woman.

This change makes everyone who sees it feel heartache.
