Chapter 225 The Mystery of the Past
“What did you say?”
Qin Xia squatted down and approached the head of the gray knight on the left.
The Gray Knight was lying on the operating bed, his eyes still staring straight at Qin Xia.
It’s not that Qin Xia didn’t understand, it’s just that it’s hard to believe.
"Your..."
The Gray Knight spoke, his face trembling, as if he was trying to squeeze out words.
“Your armor.”
Since this Gray Knight was still abnormal, Qin Xia didn’t want him to continue struggling to speak, so he raised his hand and put it on the Gray Knight’s head, Feel it.
Then he saw the past.
The warship was invaded by the demons of Khorne at that time.
That battle.
Qin Xia saw herself still soaking in the cabin at that time, and then saw a flash of light, and the ship suddenly changed places.
Then I saw another flash of light, and both myself and the cabin disappeared.
Everyone present was very surprised.
The demons seemed to have a clear goal. After seeing themselves disappear, they howled angrily. Suddenly they no longer besieged others, but spread out to look for themselves.
The two Gray Knights escaped from the command deck with some living mortals. They killed all the way and finally came to a relatively safe place.
But on the way, one of the Gray Knights' armor was damaged.
Perhaps the big demon hit somewhere in the armor just now.
Then the gray knight took off his armor, went to the equipment warehouse with the others, opened the equipment warehouse and put on Qin Xia's armor.
That was the armor that originally belonged to Qin Xia. It was supposed to be worn by Qin Xia in an extremely cool armor-piercing ceremony after he left the transformation process.
Qin Xia saw the Gray Knight putting on his armor and continuing to fight. They experienced an extremely long battle.
During this period, they even tried to recapture the command deck. They united with the surviving navigators to leave the subspace and rescue more people, but they failed.
The navigator could not find a way back to the real universe anyway, and in the end most mortals starved to death.
The dead mortals turned into balls of flesh, wrapping the bodies of the two Gray Knights.
Then the memory that Qin Xia read dissipated, and he did not see part of the memory. After he could see the memory again, the two Gray Knights went crazy.
"Strange, what have you experienced?" Qin Xia moved his hand away in great confusion.
Although there are still many mysteries about this matter that have not been solved, at least one thing is certain, and that is that one of the armors belongs to Qin Xia.
The Gray Knight who wore it originally wanted to find Qin Xia and return the armor to him.
This matter itself is also the instruction of the great master.
Qin Xia suddenly remembered a question again, a question that had existed in his mind for a long, long time.
That's why I became a Gray Knight.
The Gray Knight found himself in a hurry, and then without even following the normal procedures, he turned himself into a member of the Gray Knight like driving a duck to the shelf or giving hormones to a broiler.
This question cannot be answered by the Gray Knight in front of me because his level is not high enough.
So Qin Xia walked to the gray knight on the right, raised his hand and pressed it on his head to sense his memory.
"This is a task that must be completed."
Qin Xia saw the Gray Knight Grand Master.
The great mentor was giving instructions to the person in front of him.
“At any cost.”
“But since crossing the Great Rift is extremely dangerous, with a narrow escape from death, I allow you to ask me for anything you want.”
Hearing the Grand Master's promise, the Gray Knight asked in a deep voice: "Why do we have to take him to where he is going."
"To be honest, I don't know." The Grand Master was very calm, " If this is your wish, I have no way to satisfy you, because even if I go to higher-level people to ask them, I will only get one answer."
"The answer is..."
"I don't know either, but there has always been such an order, always ordering us to find this person and send this person to the front line."
Qin Xia slowly put down his hands, although there was Many problems were still unresolved, but he at least knew that the reason why he was put on the shelf was because there was an order to find him circulated within the Gray Knights.
And no one knows the reason for the existence of his own order.
This is something that sounds very outrageous.
Such a strict military force of the Gray Knights was top secret before the return of 40K Guilliman, enjoying the best military supplies, the best military training, and the highest level of power.
As a result, there is an order for everyone to do one thing, but they don’t know the purpose of doing it.
"Perhaps I will know why in the future." Qin Xia was not entangled, because without this meeting, if he had not waited until now, he would not have even gotten this limited information.
Eat when you should, drink when you should, don't take it to heart if it's not life-threatening, to avoid mental exhaustion.
This is a rule of survival summarized by Qin Xia, although he does not always adhere to it.
“Have a good rest.” Qin Xia said to the two gray knights.
The two gray knights were still looking straight at the armor.
Qin Xia didn't want to say that. He really didn't need that set of armor now, because what he was wearing was tailor-made for him from the original body.
If it were possible for the two Gray Knights to continue fighting.
And they are willing to continue fighting.
Qin Xia believes that the suit of armor that belongs to him can be worn by any one of them.
And if they are unable to continue fighting, then distribute their equipment to the most powerful people in the Think Tank.
Before leaving, Qin Xia also wanted to tell Quadrant some things, but Quadrant already knew what Qin Xia wanted to tell him, so he took the initiative and said: "I will monitor the mental status of the two of them and find out The pattern of their sanity or madness, and then notifying you when they are sane.”
"Thank you." Qin Xia nodded, "But don't perform surgeries on them, unnecessary surgeries, and don't use drastic methods to study their physical changes after coming out of subspace."
"Ha. Ha. ." Quadrant let out two cold laughs that sounded emotionless, "Who do you think I am? A lunatic."
"That's what I said." Qin Xia turned and left.
After watching Qin Xia leave, Quadrant stretched out his overlapping appendages under the red robe and put a multi-functional integrated tool into the storage box next to him and put it away.
At this time, the battleship enters the subspace again. After everything at hand is completed, the White Knight will return to the Legion fleet.
...
Twelve Legion Fleet.
Two weeks have passed since the White Knight left.
The Primarchs continue to exterminate the remaining greenskin forces in the new area of Onus. Since the battle situation is very optimistic, the Primarchs no longer gather together, and there are no enemies that they need to gather together to defeat. . The Onus sector will soon be at peace again.
The war will be won.
Being in the flagship of the 12th Legion, Angron is worried about more than just the war.
As time passed, Angron became more and more worried about Qin Xia's safety.
When the orcs were still the main opponents, they did not feel that the suddenly appearing Eldar were so difficult to deal with and how urgent they needed to be dealt with.
Now that the orcs are no longer the most powerful enemy, the status of the Eldar has been highlighted.
Now more than a week has passed, but Qin Xia still has not returned. If the time he needs to fight is included, even if everything goes well, it will be a month before there is news.
Angron was thinking about these things in his office. He began to think that maybe he should tell his brothers at that time and simply lead most of the Twelve Legions to deal with the Eldar, but at that time In that case, the other brothers dealt with the orcs, while I ran to deal with a group of aliens that appeared out of nowhere.
No matter how you think about it, it’s inappropriate.
“Don’t worry.”
Angron suddenly heard Qin Xia’s voice.
The primarch turned and saw his adoptive father standing beside him, a razor in his hand.
Angron looked away and found that he was also holding a razor and standing in front of the mirror with his adoptive father.
This is the residence of a high knight noble somewhere, during the Nukerian Rebellion War.
Angron recalled that the place had just been captured, and his adoptive father suddenly noticed the changes in his face, and then took him to the bathroom and taught him how to shave his face.
“Yes, that’s it, don’t worry.”
"Little by little, if you are too anxious, be careful to scratch the skin."
Qin Xia stood in front of the mirror with a razor, a circle of white around her mouth, and shaved herself with the razor beard.
Angron followed suit and shaved his own beard with a razor.
Then his beard got stuck on the razor. He pulled hard and the razor curled up.
Angron picked up Cromach's brass sword and used it as a razor, and found that this thing was much easier to use than a professional tool.
"Don't let Cromach know that you used his sword to shave." Qin Xia glanced sideways at Angron in the mirror, "Otherwise, he will definitely make you listen to his 10,000 advertisements before he gives up."< br>
"Then you have to listen, otherwise I won't be able to do anything if he makes an advertisement out of the blue." Angron replied with a smile.
Qin Xia put down the razor in his hand, took the brass sword into his hand, and then slowly shaved Angron: "You moved too fast, too sloppy, and missed many places. You "Go slower."
"Yeah." Angron nodded.
In this way, Qin Xia slowly helped Angron shave his beard, and Angron quickly learned how to use a brass sword to shave because of the original body's extremely high learning ability.
Qin Xia stood in front of the mirror and looked at Angron, whose face was clean: "It was only then that I felt the passage of time. Although it has not been many years, you are already a man."
"Do ordinary people do this?" Angron asked.
"How is it?" Qin Xia picked up his razor and continued to shave himself.
“Just like this, a father teaches his children how to shave.”
“Most ordinary people are like this, but people without fathers cannot do this and can only learn it by themselves.”< br>
Qin Xia answered the question by shaving his beard and recalling some things.
“If you were to learn it by yourself, you probably wouldn’t have thought of finding any tutorials, and then you would use the cheapest tools and the most sloppy techniques. You wouldn’t be startled until you saw blood, and then you would stop. "
"There is nothing you can do to scrape the bleeding. The tools are too inferior and the techniques are too rough. I can't blame others. I just wipe it and then continue scraping myself."
"I don't even think it should be done at this time. Teach yourself a lesson, or wipe the blood on your lips."
"..."
Qin Xia said.
At this time he talked about the past again.
Ever since Qin Xia regarded the duelists as brothers and sisters and as family members, he always likes to talk about these things. This may be a kind of emotional confession, or it may be a kind of "I used to live a fucking life." What a fucked up day” act of emotion.
"You are lucky, at least you have my family to help you." Qin Xia said.
Angron smiled and nodded.
"If you don't understand something, or if you want to ask for help, just ask whoever you want to catch. After all, we are all a family. Maybe we don't have any blood relationship, but there is a bond between us that is stronger than blood relationship."
“We are still comrades in arms.”
When Qin Xia said this, the smile on Angron’s face suddenly disappeared.
Angron swallowed and watched Qin Xia focus on shaving. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "The others and I are indeed comrades-in-arms and family members. I also love them. They are all mine. Sister, or brother, but..."
"I'm not trying to compare anything, I just want to say a fact, a fact that I have always thought so, but you may not be aware of it."
"That is, what you provide is not only care and love, but also more importantly... that is protection like a safe haven."
"Just like ordinary people, when a child is just born there is no I have the ability to take care of myself, and I didn’t have the ability to protect myself when I was growing up. I do have the ability to protect myself, but I don’t know how to do it.”
Angron hesitated. She wanted to say it directly, but she didn't know how Qin Xia would feel.
"That is to say, is there such a possibility..."
"Maybe...maybe we are fathers..."
Before Angron finished speaking, a gladiator rushed into the bathroom and told Qin Xia and him that another group of high knights came over to launch a surprise attack.
Qin Xia immediately turned around and walked out, shaving as he walked without panicking at all.
Angron followed, looking at Qin Xia who was not nervous or flustered at all. He felt that as long as he was around, he would be like being in a bunker when a storm came, and there would never be any Feeling of insecurity.
Angron suddenly opened his eyes.
After seeing the familiar office inside the Endurance, he realized that he had fallen asleep.
This was the only sleep he had had since the middle of the Nukerian Uprising War.
"Father?"
The door was pushed open.
The first company flag officer walked into the office.
Angron frowned imperceptibly.
He didn't like the Space Marines to call him father. Although this title was very suitable from a genetic level, he always felt that he suddenly and inexplicably became the caregiver of others without being fully prepared.
But Angron never said not to call him that, because he sensed that if he really gave this order, the legion soldiers would be depressed.
"What's going on?" Angron asked in his usual cheerful tone.
"It's time for this week's Legion talks to begin," the Space Marine said.
"Wait a moment." Angron stood up and prepared.
