Chapter 1161 Reminiscing about the Past (Part 1)
Rozim was still a little nervous when he was called to the Chapter Master's office alone by Soshyan, because he knew that what he had done had been discovered, and the Hellfire Stone was more As soon as he returned to orbit, he was taken away by a guy named Kayon.
However, nothing happened to him and his cook. They were not imprisoned or dismissed, but Karen was locked up again.
After adjusting his gray battle group logistics uniform, Rozim took a deep breath and prepared to ring the doorbell.
But the door opened by itself.
"Come in."
Rozim walked in and saw Soshyan without armor sitting behind a huge wooden table. There were several data pads and a pile of files on the table. There is a pen in the inkwell.
"War leader."
"Sit down."
Soshiyang raised his head and pointed to a chair on the left side of the table, Luo Qi Mu sat on it carefully.
But at this time, he suddenly noticed a few shallow scratches on the left side of Soshyan's face near his neck, which looked a bit like they were scratched by some small animal.
But there don’t seem to be any pets in the war group?
Soshyan leaned back, turned his head, looked at Rozim, and said nothing.
But this atmosphere made Rozim even more uneasy. He sat quietly for more than ten seconds, then scratched his head, and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.
Just when Rozim was almost driven crazy by the silence, Soshyan suddenly sighed, pulled out the desk drawer, and took out a photo.
Rozim took a sneak glance, but was stunned.
That was a photo taken in front of a certain statue. There were more than fifty young people. He was the one on the far left in the second row, and the third one from the left was Soshyan.
At that time, they were just the summoned ones, but at that time Soshyan already seemed taller than the people around him.
"There were so many people back then, and you and I were the only ones left, Brother Rozim."
Rozim looked at the photo for a long time, and finally nodded silently. .
Yes, he and Soshyan were the only ones who were still alive among the same group of people who underwent transformation back then.
Soshiyan stared at the photo with a look of nostalgia on his face, then placed it on the table and put his hands on the table.
“Remember when we just went to Obsidian Fortress?”
Rozim nodded.
“Ah, I remember, I was miserable at that time.”
Between words, a ghost called memory pulled the two back to a hundred years ago -
"You are all selected." A giant stood on a high platform and looked down at the newcomers. The huge stone protrudes from the ground like a tooth, and is chiselled into a platform near the top. The entire stone is carved into an eagle emblem facing the audience.
"You all know what this means now."
Soshiyang's eyes moved from the giant to the distant mountains, and his mood was gone. It came so easily, especially after he seemed to have received some additional transformation——
But the others were different. Their eyes were all glued to the priest, with an almost crazy expectation in their eyes.
Almost fifty people stood beside him. When the sun just rose, they were taken to the flat ground of the monastery fortress to listen to the priest's speech.
Everyone is wearing uniform clothes, but many people have bruises and scars on their faces and hands. Soshyan feels that not everyone is from the hive city, and a considerable number of people have a primitive barbaric atmosphere.
The resources of the Astral Knights seem to be more complicated than he imagined.
Sushyan suddenly shivered again, maybe because the air was very cold and his breath condensed into mist, or maybe it was because of other reasons around him.
After being taken out of that mysterious laboratory, he often felt an inexplicable chill.
". We see potential in you, a potential that might allow you to join us, I emphasize, 'maybe'! But first, you need to forget a lot of things, and even die if necessary! In In some cases, for some of you, this has already happened!”
When the pastor spoke, his eyes seemed to glance at Soshyan intentionally or unintentionally.
“But these differences are not important! You just need to remember one thing! From now on, there will be no second chance. If you die here, it is because you are not qualified to join the ranks of heroes. ! The Astral Knights offer you a chance to prove yourself, to prove that you can stand among the greatest heroes in the world! You have to prove that you can join us and become our brothers."
Soshiyan could feel the atmosphere becoming more heated and turbulent. No one wanted to become an Astartes, an immortal and powerful warrior.
"But so far, you can't understand how glorious this is, or the weight of responsibility it will force you to bear one day. Now you just need to listen. The Chapter's requirements for you are not lenient. , the trials you need to complete are not simple. This is not harsh. In the future, you will understand what terrible darkness the Space Marines will need to walk into, what evil enemies they will face, and be in places that you can't even imagine now. All this harshness is just to create warriors who can fight until the last moment in the worst situations."
The priest's words were very true, and they reminded Soshiyang of why he wanted to become an astral warrior. .
Standing between humanity and darkness.
“One day in the future, you may be asked to stand between humans and their ultimate enemy, fight against terrifying enemies that legends cannot describe, and fight against evil forces that will destroy everything, all of which It's possible - as long as you prove that you are qualified."
"The next thing you have to face is a hero-level test, and the rewards for success are not ordinary. If you succeed, you will get a match. If any mortal lives too long and acquires any legendary powerful power, you will fly out of the sky, go to the most distant stars, and fight in the most heroic wars. You will have the opportunity to gain merit and glory, as well as true Respect from the strong! If you prove yourself, power, glory and immortality are yours. If you fail, death may be what awaits you. This is the path before you. From today on, there is no other. The choice is victory or death, do you understand what I say?”
The priest's figure seemed to become larger and larger, exuding an arrogant aura around him. His words were directly engraved in the consciousness of all the boys with power, making them afraid and inspiring ambition at the same time.
"Do you understand what I said?"
The pastor then repeated it.
“Understood!”
Everyone’s voice answered together, resounding through the sky.
