Jacob raised his head slightly and thought for a while. It was obvious that he fell onto Tosun No. 5. At least he was lucky and did not fall directly into the sea. So now as long as he finds the relevant institutions of the empire, he can contact the administrator of the planet. , the company commander and the others should be looking for him, but because it rained and the rescue capsule disintegrated midway, it might be a little difficult for them to find him.
You have to take the initiative to contact them yourself. The most direct way is to find the National Church. This organization is the most convenient for Astartes to communicate.
"Where is the nearest church?"
"Church."
Elizabeth didn't like this place, but she still tried to restrain her disgust, He replied in a low voice:
"There is one in the north of the town."
Suddenly, Jacob suddenly pointed at her ankle.
"Are you injured?"
She looked down at her feet, only seeing the scars there, and fear immediately grabbed her heart.
Then the other party noticed the marks under her neck and frowned.
"Still sick?"
The moment she made eye contact with Jacob, as if being stabbed hard by a sharp knife, Alisabet jumped up suddenly, covered her face and turned around to run away If he got out, Jacob wouldn't be able to fix it.
“Uh”
He wanted to stand up, but the injury on his leg slowed him down, and because the power armor on his body was completely broken, it turned into The burden, the weight of thousands of kilograms on his body, also made it a little difficult for him to move.
But he doesn’t want to care so much about mortal affairs. Since he is in a residential area, as long as he finds the manager, he can quickly contact the company commander. At least this combat mission has been completed, and the clan leader has been eliminated by him. Just remember that body fragments must be recycled to prevent other hazards.
After thinking about this clearly, Jacob was not in a hurry. After sitting for a while, he noticed the basket on the side and opened the cloth on it to see some beautifully made sweets such as biscuits and bread.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up some, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.
Rough, plain.
But I don’t know why, there was something strange in his heart. Why did her expression look so scared and sad at that time?
I don’t seem to have asked her name.
Maybe you can spend some time to find her and thank her. If she has any disease, just ask the administrator of this planet to treat her. She is not rich in clothes, and then give her and her family a lot of wealth. That should be enough.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps and saw the exit. He saw a short figure looking inside timidly outside the crack of the door.
Under the dirty cloak, there is an ugly and twisted face. It seems that the facial features are squeezed together, the nose seems to be retracted into the skull, and there is only one eye, and half of the teeth are exposed outside the lip gap. .
However, this kind of people are not uncommon in the underhive and the lower deck of the ship. Humans have both the mighty and tall Astartes and the wretched and short deformed children. It seems that the extreme difference is the reason for this race. The inherent curse is general.
I noticed that the awakened warrior was looking at me, with a panic expression on his twisted face, and he wanted to hide away.
"Stop hiding, come in."
Jacob's words seemed to be magical. A few seconds later, the deformed man tremblingly walked into the house with a long stick.
"You and that girl are together, right."
The man stood ten meters away from Jacob and did not dare to come forward. He did not force it, but his tone was calm. to ask for the information you want.
Hearing Jacob ask himself, the man hesitated for a while and then uttered a few vague words.
"Yes, yes. Yes, I."
"What's your name." "One-eyed. They're all called one-eyed people."
"One-eyed people? That sounds like It should just be a nickname. Where is your real name?”
“I really don’t know.”
Jacob sighed softly, a little helpless but couldn't blame him, because mortals would most likely react this way when facing Astartes, so he could only continue to ask patiently.
“Then what is her name?”
“Suet, no, Alisa Bate, but she doesn’t like it.”
“How did you do it? Found me?”
“Forest. Alisabet. Call me a crane at night”
Jacob nodded in realization. The girl should have discovered him first, and then this one used a crane to get him here. This makes sense.
"Alissa Bate, I may have accidentally scared her just now. One-eye, thank you for saving me. I am a soldier of the tenth company of the Astral Knights Chapter. My name is Jacob. At that time I was destroying an alien that was endangering the empire, but the rescue capsule fell out of control and fell to the ground. If it hadn't been for you, maybe my situation would have been very bad. After all, anything is possible in the wild. Is there anyone nearby recently?"
But it was obvious that his words were beyond the other party's understanding, and the one-eyed man's remaining eye was full of confusion.
"Star Boundary. Knight Empire... was nearby this morning. I did hear that a lot of people were coming nearby, searching here and there in the mountains. Alisabet specifically told me to cover up her whereabouts because she was afraid of being discovered. .I am very familiar with the forest. I know where it is. It is not easy to be found. The water will wash away the traces."
Jacob blinked and said that it was all the credit of this person that he was not discovered now, but it was also You really can't blame him.
"I know, thank you. I'll go to the church in a minute. What do you want?"
"What."
"You can get a reward for saving me, what do you want?" What, I can grant you a request, as long as it’s not too excessive. Do you want a territory? Or a position?”
Hearing what he said, the one-eyed man swallowed his throat. Apparently he didn't expect this kind of reward.
After a while, he whispered:
"I, angel, can you, please, rescue Alisabet?"
"Save? What happened to her?"
As he said that, Jacob picked up the Kettle, poured a sip down his throat.
“She, she.”
The one-eyed man talked intermittently for a long time, and finally made it clear what happened.
Alisabet originally had an ordinary family. Her father was a farmer with some land and supported his family by growing fruits and vegetables to supply the city. However, when Alisabet was 9 years old, her father fell into a "cash crop" business. In the scam, he finally died in an accident when he chose to seek help from the "law" after losing all his land and house.
Alyssa Bate and her mother had no choice but to find a way to survive in a brothel in the town. At that time, Alisa Bate could only work as a helper in a brothel because "Mom" won't take in a useless girl.
But even such a life could not be maintained. When Alisabet was 12 years old, her mother died. She was accidentally killed by a man while picking up guests - the man who was almost like a beast wanted to Playing a doctor, he slashed a woman's stomach with a knife, and his punishment was just to pay a large sum of money to "mother".
That is, after that, Alisabet must survive alone in a place filled with money, violence, blood, and exuding a disgusting smell. "Mom" does not care about her age, Instead, she used it as a selling point, and for the first time she was sold at a high price to a young man who came from the city to hunt in the nearby forest.
Elizabeth was also in pain and thought about dying, but thinking of her father's lost land, she still had hope, hoping to save enough money to return to her dilapidated home.
