047 The Midnight Lord is special for the brotherhood of the Legion, and it is a must-have
Asclepius didn't know, and he didn't care, what Rika Fujimaru had said to Decker. All he knew was that after he returned with a chalice, the conversation between the Chaldean Lord and the Blood Priest had ended.
Decker still looked a little wavering nervous - the fact that a Space Marine would have this emotion written on his face meant that the situation he was experiencing was very serious in his mind - but for now, at least, he didn't show any sense of aggression and was really trying to get himself to accept it too much...... Impactful knowledge.
Asclepius doesn't care about the process. He didn't need to know what was going on, his ultimate goal was nothing more than to create a blood substitute that would alleviate the Blood Angel's red thirst, and leave the full set of techniques to the Blood Angel. To that end, a Blood Priest who was involved in the research phase would be a great help in the overall progress.
He didn't care for what specific reason the other party had joined, and he didn't even expect the other party to really help him in his research process. He just wants the other person to correctly carry out the treatment plan he came up with without compromise, and bring it to the people who really need it.
- While he did question the membership of the Blood Angels, and even before that, he had questioned the membership of all Astartes. But at the moment he decided not to do it, or rather, not exactly, the work he decided to do at the request of Fujimaru Rika.
Someone is unable to work and live as a normal person because of some kind of symptom. Asclepius simply couldn't allow something like this to happen right in front of his eyes.
ββ
After dealing with such an unexpected episode, Rika Fujimaru was finally able to go to the cafeteria again.
But unfortunately, the Storm Boundary is only that big after all. Under the premise that the above crew members have some big or small problems, it is not so easy for her to eat a meal quietly:
It does sound quiet in the cafeteria. However, this quietness is very suspicious in the current non-war time when the meal has not passed.
β¦β¦ Don't, right? Asclepius had just been freed from the intense mental work she had done with Ferus, and the tablet she used to memorize had not yet been put down. She really needs a quiet meal right now.
It is a great pity that the bad premonitions of the Chaldean lord, who are well versed in human nature, will always come true. When the door of the cafeteria slid open in front of her, she was not surprised to see three midnight lords who had come down from shift to eat melons with melons written all over their faces, and two forbidden soldiers watching the play with expressionless expressions in their small teacups.
Then, she walked into the cafeteria, followed the men's line of sight, and once again (meaning that it was not the first time that a similar cafeteria confrontation had occurred) she saw unsurprisingly that Inquisitor Hastings and Sevita were staring at each other wide-eyed. Sandwiched between the two, Kylia desperately tried to pretend nothing had happened, mechanically slicing the steak on the plate in front of her with a knife and fork - the rest of the meat was almost minced by her.
As long as you know a little bit about the skill of observing words and colors, it is impossible not to receive the message of "help me" exuded by Kellya who is caught in the middle. Rika Fujimaru let out a long sigh and made a note for everyone else present.
The resentment caused by the food is very deep: each of these theatergoers is responsible for disturbing her to eat!
The responsibility is responsible, but the current situation has been put in front of him, and Fujimaru Rika can't help but deal with it. So, almost instinctively, she started from the focus and looked in the direction of Inquisitor Hastings and Sevita:
"So, what's going on this time?" After asking this sentence, she turned her attention to Kelya, who was forced to be the sandwich of a biscuit again (meaning that it was not the first time that a similar situation had happened), "What trivial matter did the two of them quarrel about?" β
- Yes, the reason why this kind of cafeteria confrontation has occurred again and again is not because of the natural clash of positions between the Inquisitor and the renegade Astarte. Through Fujimaru Ritsuka's observation in the past six months, she can easily conclude that they quarrel only because they want to quarrel! Even if it was something as small as Saivita entering the cafeteria with her left foot first today or Hastings swearing a word into the air, it could be a reason for them to quarrel!
"How can it be said that it is a 'trivial' thing?" Born in Otrama, who has worked with Ultramarines and served on the Regent's psionic council, Sibylla Hastings knows how to use the "civil service language" to whitewash small things into big things, "Even the tiniest rift, if nothing is done about it, could one day shake the foundations of the Empireβ"
"βThe little girl took two more glances at the Holy Blood Angel as she passed by the infirmary today." Yago Sevitaleone ruthlessly and directly exposed the facts, "To be honest, I don't see any need for 'behavior correction' on her. β
Inquisitor Hastings suddenly stood up from his seat, and the intricate decoration of the Inquisitor's uniform was accidentally brought to the spoon that Ben had placed in his hand, causing a little collision between the metal cutlery and the porcelain plate: "Kylia is now my apprentice, and I think it's necessary, so it's necessary!" β
The person mentioned winced visibly.
Although Rika Fujimaru had told her that as one of the most important official members of the Chaldees, there was no need to be angry with a supernumerary employee like Inquisitor Hastings, Kelya, despite her young age, had already formed an inherent concept in her mind, and it was not so easy to break. Even in Pamenio's grammar school, the teacher-student relationship has a serious and absolute superiority to it β not to mention this one-on-one form of inquisitor and apprentice.
In general, the Inquisitor has absolute control over the acolytes (or apprentices) who are subordinate to him. This "control" is even so strict that it borders on a kind of "ownership of things" - from a legal point of view, even if a judge decides on a whim to summon demons with his own acolytes, he will be punished for "summoning demons" rather than "sacrificing his own acolytes".
Of course, whether or not to exercise this power over the acolytes depends on the character and character of the judge concerned. The good news is that Inquisitor Hastings isn't so inhuman, and Kelia doesn't have to worry about her life at least as an apprentice under him; The bad news is that Inquisitor Hastings has been practicing for about one hundred and twenty years, meaning that he has a human nature, but not much, and has an odd temper, and he didn't accept Kellya as a "student" completely voluntarily.
As a result, Kellia did not have a smooth life during her apprenticeship. Although it was not unbearable after Rika Fujimaru explicitly told her that "the Imperial Inquisitor is approachable but there is a problem", she also tried hard to "make Inquisitor Hastings less annoying in front of her", but ......
Forgive her, she was only sixteen years old in the next year, and this age was not even a fraction of Sibila Hastings. She has indeed worked hard, but the gap between the experience and mindset accumulated over the past hundred years cannot be bridged in just half a year.
Although she managed to secure the support of several Midnight Lords in the first week or two, the Inquisitor, who apparently knew better than a sixteen-year-old girl how to mediate among the various hostile forces, was able to take control of the scattered veins and successfully divide and suppress everyone except Kaisevit. Inquisitor Hastings thus formally established his authority in front of his "disobedient" apprentices, and similar things were repeated over and over again for the next six months, but they were still largely under his control.
- But Kelia's situation is not the "usual" situation between the Inquisitor and the Acolyte, and it is precisely because of this that Hastings can only say that the situation is "basically" under his control rather than "completely":
Legally, he can only be regarded as Kylia's substitute teacher. Although the substitute teacher is still a teacher, when it comes to exercising power in relation to students, the first priority is never in his hands: the person who really enjoys these powers over Kylia completely and thoroughly is Rika Fujimaru.
"What's wrong with looking at the Holy Blood Angel twice? I also love to watch handsome guys. Fujimaru Rika, who was on the low air pressure, began to mess around - they just wanted to quarrel anyway, so the content of the quarrel didn't matter.
What she should do at this time is to deviate from the topic, so that they can't quarrel, and take Kellya who is used as a raft for no reason out of the topic: "Why does Kelya love to see the Holy Blood Angel and not to look at you, I suggest reflecting on why I am not handsome enough." β
This purely feminine perspective, which had never been in the debate before, and with a very subtle aggression, stunned both sides of the conflict (and the audience) at the same time. And Astarte's advantage of reacting faster than unmodified ordinary people is vividly reflected in Sevita:
"Are these cousins of the Holy Blood Angels handsome?" He unconsciously touched his chin, and the expression on his face was ten percent genuinely confused, "I don't think so?" β
Although it is an obvious good sign that one of the parties to the conflict has been led astray along this point of view, Fujimaru Rika inexplicably became angry in her heart, and did not hesitate to turn her head and scold:
"Shut up! Sevita Leone, you tasteless thing! β
"Oh, eldest miss, didn't you already know that I couldn't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?" The scolded Sevita instead showed a kind of justifiable smugness, "You want to blame the 'certain steps' set by the Emperor during the Astarte transformation operation, which completely deprived us of the perception of these things that we could not use in battle." β
As soon as his words fell, before Rika Fujimaru turned her head to the Midnight Lord, who was watching the battle next to her, the Children of the Night, who had already predicted what she would do, quickly bounced from their seats, blew towards the door of the cafeteria like a gust of wind, and finally threw the following sentence in the direction of their company commander:
"you, Sevita, why are you thinking about pulling your brother into the water!"
Miwoo (Leopard Kill)
Obviously, they overestimated themselves, or underestimated the degree of incompetence of the leaders......
In the text, write too many words: Dead Apostles (vampires) suck blood because their parent True Ancestor sucked blood and passed on their blood-sucking impulse to them. In addition, the Dead Apostle's body is dead, so it is necessary to physically absorb life information from the outside world to maintain the operation of the dead body, and the urge to suck blood is also a necessary behavior to maintain physiological functions. In this article alone, the Blood Angel lived longer than the other Astartes because he was able to do something similar by drinking blood from Red Thirst.
True Ancestors (Earth Elves) have a vampire impulse because the template they used to be created by Earth was Type-moon (one of the primordial moons), and Zhu Yue also has a vampiric impulse. Theoretically, all the losses of the True Ancestor in the activities are paid for by the planet, and there is no need to take in additional "nutrients" through the act of sucking blood. The blood-sucking impulse is really just a harmful "desire" that makes them unable to maintain their rationality, and they need to consume their energy to suppress it as much as possible on weekdays, otherwise they will completely become bloodthirsty madmen. So both K and S want angels (?)
And why does Zhu Yue, the source of everything, have a blood-sucking impulse, I don't seem to say it explicitly in my impression, but I refer to ORT and think that this is one of the primordial ways to absorb enemy intelligence and evolve to deal with the dilemma...... Damn, ORT can empty the Lingji portrait and then hack into Valhalla to crown the Advent rank to appear autonomously...... Target... Woo wow β (leopard crying)
