Chapter 123 Go Home
Li just raised his hand gently and patted the dagger in Jomina's hand. The dagger flew to the corner and fell on the floor with a crisp and cold impact. The crisp sound of "jingle" echoed in the wide hall, and people's hearts couldn't help sinking down.
"Jomina, it's useless," Li sighed and slowed down his voice slightly and explained, "I know that you have been working very hard. You do a good job. You are excellent, better than most men in the world. But some things can't be obtained through hard work. For example, the access permit of the Asttart monk is the same. A woman can never become an Asttart monk. It is not that I discriminate against women, but the reality is that women's bodies cannot withstand the power from the divine emperor. For tens of thousands of years, it has always been like this. Even if you have the determination to die, the result is doomed.
"Why, how could this happen?" Giormina's face was pale. She shook her body and took a step back, as if she were a weak woman who could fall at any time. "Director, mentor, you, you won't lie to me, can the emperor be so cruel? If there is no glory, if I can't go to the battlefield, what else can I have? Tutor, I beg you to let me participate in the trial. Even if I die, I will. I'd rather die on the road to the battlefield than live so dishonorably!"
Li looked at Jomina's eyes full of pity. If Li, who lived on a peaceful earth before coming to this chaotic cosmic world, most of them would not understand such people. For people in that period, they pursued the meaning of life or risked their lives for some illusory concepts. Because it was undoubtedly an incomprehensible or even unacceptable stupid behavior, Li at that time, not only would not pity people like Jomina, but also probably laughed at her.
What do people live for? This is a philosophical problem. In an impetuous and utilitarian society where Li once lived, few people will ask this question, and a few people who raise this question will probably be laughed at by the group.
What's the matter if you think about these things? It's better to be down-to-earth and make more money.
In this world, it is completely different. Nothing else, the environment is different.
In a peaceful environment, a person is killed, which is a life-threatening event. In this turbulent world, the dead are just the most common thing. In this dark medieval world, a careless person was only cut a small wound by a rusty nail, so he also has You can die here. In other planets invaded by alien creatures, human beings were slaughtered and wiped out in groups. Life is as thin and light as paper here, death is around, and life itself seems to have become like a thin piece of paper without any weight. People living in this turbulent world are more likely to think about the meaning of life in the process of survival, because they know that they may die at any time.
So in this cold universe, there will be many people like Jomina, asking this question to themselves and then relying on themselves to find the answer.
Obviously, Jomina has found the answer. She has already arranged the final destination for herself in her mind. In her fantasy, the final destination should be a huge battlefield. In a huge battle like an epic, countless heroes She was not afraid to rush to the terrible enemy, and Chief Li rushed to the front, and she herself should follow Lord Li closely until the end, and shed the last drop of blood for the great mentor in front of her.
If you can die in the mentor's arm, it will be the most perfect.
But now everything has disappeared. Not to mention the huge battle, as the glory of a warrior, she can't even set foot on the battlefield that should belong to her. If she can't exist as a warrior, what should she do in the future? Strict training has made Jomina used to her life as a warrior, and she can no longer return to the days of carefree hunting in the jungle.
"You are an excellent soldier and also my student. I can't make a decision that satisfies you, otherwise what I do is the same as murder." Li explained, "But you don't have to worry. Although you can't enter the Star Wars, you can still serve us and our Knights Templar. You will join a special organization, and I will have more important tasks for you. Ryan, if you stay with Jomina, you can give her a set of Valkyrie armor first. Jomina will join your Valkyrie's team for the time being.
Maybe Li's "There will be more important tasks..." This sentence played a role. Giormina took a few deep breaths, and then she straightened up again. After kneeling on one knee to salute, she left the new palace with Ryan.
"Then it's time for the remaining twelve to test you. You will either become temple knights walking between the starry sky or die worthless. May the God bless you. Come with me. I'll take you to see Martin Luther. He is the pastor of our regiment. You should listen carefully to every word of the priest. Martin Luther will provide you with some necessary help.
In fact, in the stage of gene implantation and subsequent surgery, even Martin Luther, as a priest, can only provide extremely limited help. As Lee said, everything can only depend on these young people themselves.
The people followed Li out from the secret door behind the new soldiers' hall. Through a long corridor, they came to a vast outdoor grassland. The vast grassland is the size of three football fields, surrounded by tall walls. The green grass is properly trimmed and maintained, and each grass is only about an inch. When I stepped on it, I only felt a piece of softness, like a green carpet.
This place makes people feel good. The only problem is that there is no one here except them and Lee. Where is Pastor Martin who can help them?
"It doesn't seem to have arrived yet. Please wait a moment. I believe that Pastor Martin will arrive soon. Yes, soon, I have heard the sound." As soon as Li's words fell, he faintly heard the roar from the sky.
This is a sound they have never heard in their lives. It is a bit like thunder. The most similar place is that it comes from the sky, but the sound is completely different from the thunder. Moreover, where is the thunderstorm in such a cloudless sunny day?
The sound became louder and louder. Everyone looked up at the sky and soon found something that made a huge roar. At first, it was just a small dot, but soon, the small black spot in the air became bigger and clearer in the eyes of everyone.
"Oh, my God, don't I have any flowers in my eyes? I saw her wings. Is this an angel?
"She spits out flames, and it's so huge. Is it a dragon?"
"Pure away your imagination. This is the 'Thunder Eagle', a weapon belonging to our Knights Templar."
Li's simple explanation did not satisfy the curiosity of this group of indigenous people. Instead, there were more questions in their hearts, such as, "What is a thunder eagle, a bird?" "Is this a weapon?" Is it like a dog that becomes a tool for combat after taming animals?
Li will naturally not waste energy to answer these strange questions. When he returns to the warship, there will naturally be someone to teach these indigenous people how to look at and understand these ultra-era modern things. So Li just restrained everyone to stand by the meard and wait for the Thunder Eagle gunboat to land.
The huge "steel thunder eagle" spouted flames and slowly landed from the air in a huge roar. As soon as the gunboat fell, the hatch was opened, and Pastor Martin was wacing to the crowd in the gunboat.
"Kies, don't be stunned. Let's go quickly. Let's go home."
Lancelot blinked and asked, "Go home? Go back to that house?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course, it is the home of our Knights Templar. The silver wing is waiting for us in the sky.
Although everyone has been prepared for a long time, at this time, the horror buried in their hearts is still as uncontrollable as bubbles at the bottom of the water. So he was nervous, panicked, curious about the future and shocked by incomprehensible things, followed Li into the Thunder Eagle gunboat.
At the moment he stepped on the Thunder Eagle, the thick giant axe warrior Duran quietly flicked the back of Lancelot's head, "Hey, did you walk in like this?" Duran shrank his neck and said, "How do I feel that we are walking into the belly of the big fire dragon?"
"Don't you hear what the tutor said? This is a thunder eagle, not a big fire dragon," Lancelot explained carefully. "Maybe the thunder eagle's stomach is used to hold things, just like the kangaroo the tutor said? And this thing is iron. I don't think it will eat meat. Oh, why do you want so much? Just follow the tutor. No problem.
Lancelot's explanation did not reassure Duran, but the last sentence worked. Who is the mentor in Duran's heart? That is to be able to cut off your arm and then find someone to pick it up. In short, no matter what, it's right to follow the tutor.
Entering the interior of Thunder Eagle, there is an airborne cabin. The equipment of the airborne cabin is large, which is suitable for interstellar warriors who are more than two meters tall. It seems too big for the current people. Li took his party through the airborne cabin and went directly to a special transformation room. This room was specially modified according to Li's wishes. It looks like the cabin of the plane.
"Okay, find a place to sit down. You'd better find a window seat and take a good look at the land that gave birth to you. Maybe you won't have a chance to see it in the future. You'd better pray that you don't have a chance to come back here.
Lancelot didn't quite understand, "Why?"
Li smiled and said, "Because once you come back, it means that your hometown is in a terrible disaster."
