Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 297

With the departure of Calvin and the gray knights around him, the grand military parade has come to an end.

The huge torrent of faith on Ofelia 7 finally went from peak to trough after the emotions of tens of billions of people were fully released.

The devotees on the viewing platform stood up slowly after the tears flowed, telling each other the details they felt during prayer.

This time the prayer to the Emperor was so different. Under the blessing of Calvin, the oversized faith "signal amplifier", the unprecedented emotional resonance of the crowd and the feedback received after praying wholeheartedly were the clearest experiences in life.

The same is true for other populations on the planet. Under the leadership of devout believers, they have already broken through themselves and showed themselves to the god emperor of faith in an unprecedented way;
After Calvin's filter, the dark side of desire and emotion in their hearts was swept away.

This potential impact on people's hearts is so obvious that the already extremely low crime rate in the entire Ofelia galaxy will be almost zero in the next ten years.

Taking this as the starting point, stretching back for hundreds of years, the birth rate of the population in the Ofelia star region and the population health index of the entire galaxy, under Calvin's large-scale spiritual coordination this time, have unbelievable effects on the top of the empire. Data growth curve.

The judges of the three major religious orders are therefore concerned about the end point here. After conducting hundreds of investigations, they finally came to a conclusion:

The source of all these events came from the grand ceremony held when Lord Terra visited Ofelia in 756.M39 of the Imperial Calendar.

The emperor has generously rewarded the piety of the imperial citizens here, and the per capita spiritual quality and stability of the entire star sector have been greatly enhanced.

Even the psykers born here in the next few hundred years have distinctive mental stability ratings.

But these are secrets that only belong to the trial court, outsiders have no way of knowing, and it is impossible to sort out the context of these things.

The long-term influence is still going on, but in terms of the influence within a hundred years alone, the subjects of the empire and the middle and low-level members of the empire's state religion in the entire star area all miss the experience of the spontaneous large-scale prayer in this military parade.

Under the love of the house, Calvin, the lord of Terra, who was the initiator of all this, was naturally remembered by them.

And when the economic development of the Orpheus sector became more and more smooth, and its support for the entire Storm Star Region became more and more important, the name of the Calvin Ash Angel also followed with merchant ships and a A conscripted Star Realm Legion resounded on the battlefield all over the Storm Star Field.

The Ofelia star sector responded enthusiastically to the spread of this holy name. They remembered that grand celebration, and also remembered that the decades of beautiful development of the star sector began at that time.

The fanatical belief in the emperor and the incomparable reverence for the saints descended from him made the name of the Angel of Ashes, Saint Calvin, once again recognizable in the star area.As a result, it spread again to the entire star field from top to bottom, rooting this realistic name in the memory of the entire star field.

The military parade array has passed across the city of divine grace. After the last wave of Astartes belonging to the Minotaur battle group boarded the transport ship and returned to space, Calvin and his gray knights were also in the procession. Outside the City of Grace, they joined the state priests who were leading the queue.

Led by Cardinal Jane Harrington, this team, together with the Gray Knights, boarded the airship specially prepared by the State Church to pick up and drop off important officials in the atmosphere.

Salatan, the supreme administrator, failed to wait for Calvin's arrival in the hall of St. Gregory, which was reserved for visitors, at the scheduled time.

Right now, he was standing in a church dedicated to storing holy relics, listening to the report of the priest beside him with an ugly expression under the mess of static force field parts and fragments all around.

"That's it, right?"

Salatan raised his hand with the huge ruby ​​ring and pointed to the center of the ruins.In the middle of the ruins spreading around in waves, a gold clock several feet high, embedded with gorgeous gemstones, was quietly placed on a high platform.

"Yes, that's it, at the climax of the celebration on the ground just now, it rang at the same time as the bell on the surface.

Its sound has obvious spiritual power, and its static force field cannot restrain its abnormal movements.

The surrounding reliquaries were also damaged, but luckily the reliquaries inside are safe..."

The priest in charge of guarding answered Salatan's inquiries in a low voice, and saluted the data pad with the data in his hands. This unexpected disaster came too suddenly and without warning. When he arrived at the scene Looking at the mess here from time to time, I can only report to the higher authorities after the disaster.

"Hmm..." Salatan waved his hand to signal to give up, and the priest took back the data pad knowingly, and stood behind him.

Not to blame Salatan for being impatient, but this clock of unknown origin has its own magical function.

Its name was kept secret, and no one outside the state religion knew it.However, as the supreme manager, Salatan was emphasized by the previous Holy See at the beginning of taking over, paying attention to all abnormalities of this holy clock.

This exquisite clock comes from the previous Supreme Holy See, which was accidentally presented when he went out to preach.

The priest who is known to have dedicated it is also not sure of its origin.When they first went out to preach, they found the holy bell on the ruins of a church on a wasteland.

Its slings are firmly welded to a visible angle, and the specific structure under its shell cannot be detected because of the seamless shell.

The original priests didn't pay much attention to it, and when they dedicated it to the previous Supreme Holy See, they also handed it over as a normal relic.

But its abnormality, shortly after the previous Holy See obtained it, successfully saved the fate of the Holy See himself and the entire planet.

It was still its bell, which suddenly rang spontaneously in an unguarded late night on the way back from the Holy See's mission.

The previous Holy See, who was only wearing a nightgown, heard the sound and witnessed its abnormal appearance.Its deep voice has obvious spiritual energy fluctuations, and the Holy See has some insights under its revelation, and knows the coming of Chaos invasion in advance.

At that time, the Holy See did not hesitate, and immediately launched a call for help and conscripts to the surrounding imperial forces.

And when these Astartes Chapters and Astra Militarum guarding the satellite sector rushed there, as expected, a warp space storm with a Chaos fleet immediately surrounded the satellite sector.

The war finally won a gratifying victory with the armed forces of the Empire after paying a small price.

After destroying Chaos and expelling it back to the subspace, the holy seat who returned to Ofelia 7 was naturally full of awe and curiosity about the holy bell.

A large number of scholars and priests were drawn to his side, looking for the origin of this holy bell in the vast sea of ​​books in the City of Divine Grace.

But they failed in the end, because no matter the similar sacred object in the classics, they couldn't cope with the clock in front of them.He was also a theological scholar of the Inquisition Chamber who was visiting and exchanged, and gave the most likely possibility.

After carefully observing the holy bell, he said to the holy seat at that time that this is not the body of the holy object, but a holy object that truly has the power of the emperor. After being thrown into an unknown space, in the Projections in the real universe.

After that, he attached great importance to this holy bell. After returning to Ofelia 7, he personally sent it to the hall where the holy relics were stored, and ordered a special person to be in charge of guarding it.

In the next hundred years, the clock seldom rang again, but without exception, as long as the bell rang, it would definitely mean the coming of disaster.

It was nearly 7 years ago that Salatan took over the scepter representing the Supreme Holy See and the ring of the World Cardinal of Ofelia No. 200 from the previous Holy See.

In the past 200 years, this holy bell has never sounded. Even the joint rebellion of hundreds of billions of people in several star regions adjacent to the Taiping star field failed to disturb this sacred relic.

He had thought he would never hear from it again for his entire teaching career.

But right now, the loss of the weapons of the Heavenly Punishment position and the arrival of Calvin, the supreme lord judge, one after another, a major event that has never happened in a century for the state religion, happened on the land of Ofelia.

He silently looked at this golden holy bell, and couldn't help but feel a kind of depression in his heart.
