Chapter 23: Returning Home
() As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes. As soon as Tie Slag arrived near the gas station, he saw several pure white high-grade locomotives parked in the gas station from a distance.
These locomotives are much larger than the Red Comet, with streamlined bodies consisting of side-by-side composite twin wheels at the front and rear, and at least twelve jet bags on either side of the body. The locomotive is painted with white paint and shines in the sun. On the fuel tank of the car and the storage compartments on both sides of the rear of the car, a very conspicuous symbol is engraved - a cross with red and gold edges.
This was the symbol of the Templar Crusaders and represented the regular force of the Templars. The Templar Crusaders consisted of Templars, Templars, and Templars, whose titles represented power and rank, respectively. The specific division is determined by the spiritual power contained in the psyker's body.
The spiritual power in the body of the Templar attendants is relatively thin, and they can only use some psionic weapons, and at the same time, their potential is limited, and they are mainly used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. The Templars have the most basic level of spiritual power, and they can use the Psionic Biochemical Armor normally, and usually their spiritual power still has some room for improvement. The Templars, on the other hand, were the core combat power of the Templar Crusaders, and were basically upgraded from the battle-hardened Templars.
In the diocese of the Temple, the Templar Crusaders can often be seen. They traveled throughout the diocese, preaching the doctrine of the temple and absorbing the faithful, as well as purging heresy and purifying the world.
That's why Iron Slag rarely leaves Iron Mountain. It is located in the parish of Notre-Dame, and Notre-Dame only sends some nuns to preach and give alms, which has little impact on the lives of people on earth.
Iron Slag observed outside the gas station for a while, and found no sign of the Templar Crusaders near the locomotive. He estimated that the owner of the locomotive should rest in the gas station. Therefore, he decided to bite the bullet and go in and refuel, it was only a matter of minutes anyway.
As a result, something happened while refueling.
Several well-dressed young men walked out of the shops at the gas station. When they saw the iron slag being refueled, they whistled and surrounded it. These people are local hooligans and ruffians, who want to go up and extort money when they see outsiders.
Originally, the iron slag exuded a murderous aura like a substance, and the ordinary ruffians would take the initiative to give up entanglement as long as he took a look at it, but the few ruffians he met today were particularly bold. Although they were frightened back by the fierce eyes of the iron slag at the beginning, they quickly regained their previous arrogance, and they all had a look of fearlessness.
If this was Iron Mountain Town, these people would have died a long time ago. But this is the town of the furnace, and the iron slag doesn't want to cause trouble as an outsider. There were also a few Templar locomotives parked nearby, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the Templar crusaders.
Iron slag hesitated whether to give money to settle the matter. In this case, as long as he is willing to give the other party a few silver coins, the other party will generally let them go. But at this moment, a ruffian circled the side of the locomotive and reached out to lift You Ge's hood.
Iron slag blasted out with a punch without hesitation!
The fist slammed into the ruffian's face with a fierce wind, sending him flying a few meters away. The ruffian hit his head on the gas dispenser, and his eyes, nose, and mouth were bloody. I saw that half of his face was deeply sunken, and the frontal bone on the side of his face was all shattered.
The ruffians surrounding the locomotive were stunned for a moment, and then rushed into the gas station screaming.
"Ahh Oh no! "The outsiders are going to kill someone!" "Murdered!"
At this time, the iron slag understood that the reason why they had no fear was because someone supported them. But if he leaves halfway through the gas now, it seems that he is too cowardly, which is even more detrimental to getting out. Therefore, the iron slag continued to refuel as if it was nothing.
After a while, three people came out of the shop at the gas station. The three men wore the same standard of white armor. The armor pieces reflect the sheen of the lacquer, and it is impossible to tell whether the material is steel or reinforced plastic. The seams of the nail pieces are made of gummy faux leather, which looks very smooth. The shoulder and arm armor of the armor were welded with thick metal hoses, which, when viewed from the side, connected to a piece of metal rectangular on the back. The lower part of this cuboid has two jet ports, which are presumably the power center and the jet airbag.
This armor wraps the person almost from head to toe, like a close-fitting space suit, which is a typical psionic biochemical armor.
When he saw these three people, Iron Slag's pupils contracted sharply. For the breastplates of the three of them, without exception, were painted with a tear-shaped shield, and in the center of the shield was a cross with red and gold rimmed. The Iron Old Man once described such a badge, and he kept the iron slag away from the person who wore it. This was the emblem of the Templars, the Aegis of Shield
Iron slag involuntarily clenched his hands, and cold sweat oozed from his palms. This is his innate sense of crisis, and he can strongly feel the danger of the other party. Psykers may be vulnerable in front of him, but the Templars equipped with psionic biochemical armor are definitely the beings who are far above him.
"He's, that's him!" The ruffians had just come out from behind the three Templars, and they were pointing at the slag and gossiping.
"I don't know why, this outsider suddenly hit someone." "Yes, it's him, look at it, my lord, what kind of people he has beaten people." "You see he's so strong, maybe he's a mutant." "Yes, yes, it's definitely a dirty mutant." "Burn him!" "Yes, burn him!"
In the face of this shameless slander, the iron slag was furious, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire. I saw that the muscles in his whole body tensed, no matter what the result was, these ruffians must die! Even if it's at the cost of your own life.
The Templar who took the lead was a middle-aged man in his forties. He first glanced at the ruffian who had fallen next to the gas dispenser, then pointed to the iron slag and said, "Outsider, come with me, the holy light will always be notarized." β
Iron Slag knew what the Holy Light meant, which was the white glow emitted by the genetic scanner. It seems that he has nothing left to choose from. He could not have pinned his hopes on Yugo's status, and no matter how influential the Lombal family was, he could not violate the basic teachings of the Temple. In the Templar diocese, as long as his mutant identity is detected, no one can save him, not even the cardinal, who represents the supreme power of the Templars.
So, now there is only war! There is only one way to fight your way.
"Wait." Iron Slag raised his hand. Then, he turned his head and whispered in You Ge's ear, "The rest of the road is not far away, I'll send you here." β
You Ge didn't answer him, but got out of the car directly. Standing in front of the middle-aged Templar, she lifted her hood and said word for word: "I am Yugo Lombal, this is my bodyguard, you have no right to check him!" β
"In the land where the Holy Light shines, we have the right to inspect anyone. Of course, that includes you, the sister of the Lombal family. The middle-aged Templar muttered.
"I'm building yΓ¬ you...... Search for this name in the temple number jΓΉ kuri first, and I'll do it again! I'm Yugo Lombar! β
Hearing this, the middle-aged Templar hesitated slightly, and looked back into the eyes of the two companions behind him, as if asking for their opinion with his gaze. One of the Templars nodded and pulled out a palm-sized communicator to enter the message. After a few seconds, the Templar looked up in surprise and repeatedly compared the photo on the communicator with Yuge's appearance. After a few more seconds, the paladin handed the communicator to the middle-aged Templar.
The middle-aged Templar glanced at the communicator's screen and was taken aback.
The communicator's screen is displayed.
(Photo of a silver-haired girl)
Yugo Lombar
S-class
He looked at You Ge in disbelief, and the information displayed on the screen was very simple, only the three numbers of photo, name, and honor level. This meant that he, the captain of the Templar Crusaders, did not have access to Yugo Lombard's information. And these numbers are just a clear indication of what kind of attitude he needs to use to face this distinguished guest.
Within the organization of the Temple, S-Class dignitaries received the equivalent of the presence of the regional archbishop in person, second only to the presence of the cardinal archbishop himself.
The middle-aged Templar knew and understood this very well, so he immediately stood up straight and bowed deeply to You Ge, and the other two Templars saluted as well.
Seeing this scene, whether it was the iron slag or those ruffians and hooligans, they all froze at the same time. The ruffians' mouths opened wide, and ominous thoughts flashed through their minds, thinking that this was the end of this, and this kick was on the iron plate.
"These people are vexatious, what do you think?" You Ge asked.
Before the Templars could reply, the ruffians began to cry and beg for mercy. They slapped their mouths hard while tearful confessions.
"My lord, we don't know Taishan...... we have eyes" "We are earth dogs." "No, the earth dog is cleaner than us." "We are not as good as ...... dogs" "My lord, my lord spares my life."
You Ge frowned, gritted his teeth and popped out a word: "Get out!" β
When the ruffians heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ran away. In less than three seconds, they were gone.
"Honorable Sister Lombal, I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness, how can you come here with only one escort, it is too dangerous." The middle-aged Templar arrived respectfully.
"My plane crashed in the endless sea of sand, and this gentleman escorted me back." You Ge introduced.
The three Templars turned around and saluted the iron slag in a neat manner.
"On behalf of the Temple, we express our heartfelt thanks to you." The middle-aged Templar arrived sincerely. Iron Slag nodded his head, which was an answer. The middle-aged Templar then reverently said to Yu Ge, "Venerable Sister Lombal, allowing us to join the escort of you is a great feat and our highest honor. With that, the three Templars knelt down neatly to Youge.
Iron Slag heard some words, and when he saw these movements, he felt that his teeth were sore.
"Well, I'll allow you to escort you for a ride until I let you go." You Ge arrived.
With You Ge's approval, the three Templars mounted their bikes and waited by them.
After refueling, Iron Slag immediately drove You Ge out of Furnace Town and embarked on the last leg of the journey.
An hour and a half later, on the road to Silver City No. 17, three silver-white locomotives escorted the red comet in a triangular shape to its destination. Iron Slag felt very uncomfortable, he was not used to having so many people following him, and these people who followed him were the kind of people he least wanted to touch.
"Scumbag, what are your plans for the future?" You Ge leaned tightly on the back of the iron slag and asked in his ear.
"I'll wait until you get home." Iron slag perfunctory. The scene just now came to his mind, and the heartfelt respect that the three Templars had for You Ge could no longer be called respect, but a kind of reverence for the supreme being! He could guess from their pious attitude that there must have been a very close relationship between Yuge and the Temple.
"Scumbag, will you let your sister send you to study?" You Ge pleaded softly as she rubbed her chest against his back.
"Hmm." Iron Slag answered.
"When you are studying at school, my sister will often come to visit you and study with you, okay?" You Ge continued to tempt him.
"Okay." Iron Slag replied seriously.
"Yo he~" With a clear answer from the iron slag, You Ge called out happily.
At this moment, the noise of the engine suddenly came from the sky. Iron Slag looked up, and it turned out to be a six-propeller airship flying overhead. The bottom of the airship is painted with a very conspicuous purple thorn flower.
"Scum, look, that's the sign of our family!" You Ge shook Iron Slag's shoulders excitedly.
"I see it, purple thorn flower."
"My brother must be here!" With that, You Ge took out his pistol and fired into the sky. Seeing this, the three Templars also pulled out their pistols and fired them into the sky. The continuous sound of gunfire attracted the attention of the airship above. Seconds later, the airship flew back and hovered above them for a moment.
You Ge kept waving at the airship. After a while, the sound of gunfire rang out on the airship.
"It's my brother!" You Ge shouted excitedly. It has been many days since she left that warm home, and during this time, she has suffered a lot of grievances and experienced many, many thrills. She couldn't wait to tell her dearest relatives about the adventures of these days.
A few minutes later, the airship began to descend slowly. Led by a middle-aged Templar, Iron Slag drove off the road and waited in a clearing for the airship to land.
At this time, the airship was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the six propellers blew up a cloud of sand and dust.
A strong wind swept across the land, and You Ge involuntarily took a step back. As she shook, a strong hand grabbed her shoulder. She turned her face and met the boy's gaze. He was still like that, with a faint smile as always.
Just when You Ge lost his mind, the gale stopped, and the airship came to a steady stop in the clearing. With a deflated sound, the hatch of the airship slowly opened, and a handsome silver-haired man walked out. From a distance, the man's appearance was somewhat similar to You Ge.
You Ge came back to his senses and immediately ran towards the silver-haired man. The silver-haired man also hurriedly jumped off the airship and ran towards You Ge with his arms outstretched.
Iron Slag watched them from afar, and the moment You Ge threw himself into the arms of the silver-haired man, he knew that the mission of his trip had been successfully completed. So, he stepped onto the red comet, tightened the throttle, and roared away to the roar of the engine.
The cold wind was whistling in his ears, and he pressed the red button hard!
With the sound of mechanical synthesis, the red comet's six air capsules activated at the same time, spewing a powerful stream of air backwards. The speed of the locomotive soared to the extreme in the blink of an eye, turning into a meteor and flying towards the junction of heaven and earth.
There is no need for a goodbye between him and her, because goodbye does not need to be goodbye......
Ten minutes later, at an altitude of hundreds of meters, You Ge stood in the command cabin of the airship, watching the red locomotive disappear into the horizon. She silently closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them, as if she had made up her mind. Then she turned around, looked into Yul Lombal's eyes, and said in a firm voice, "Brother, I'm going to the temple to practice. β
"Huh? Dear sister, you have finally figured it out. Yule gave a playful smile, "What made you change your mind?" β
"This accident made me feel the cruelty of this world, and also made me understand the humility and insignificance of being a weak person." You Ge clenched his fists and said vigorously, "I need strength!" β
"But......" Yule put away his smile and said seriously, "Father doesn't have a good impression of those fanatics, and he has always wanted you to join Notre Dame." β
You Ge didn't answer, just watched Yule quietly, and then she slowly closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, a blue light suddenly appeared in her eyes! Yule's eyes were stung by the dazzling blue light, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.
The blinding light flickered, then softened. I saw that the crystal clear eyes emitted a faint blue light, like a sapphire.
The eyes overflow with blue light, which is a sign of abundant spiritual power.
Immediately after, the faint blue light gradually turned purple, and the light became more and more intense.
"Source Force guides me in the right direction."
The indifferent voice seemed to have no tone, and it echoed in the air for a long time......
