Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Opportunity?" Speyer repeated Calvin's question, but the state of the whole person began to lag obviously.

The long conversation allowed him to regain the logic of his thinking, but the subsequent thinking was obviously a heavy burden for a pure soul state without any energy source.

The liquid metal is just a temporary shell of his soul, and its function is only to maintain the current state.

As a mortal without psychic talent, maintaining thinking and communication in this state is probably the limit of what Speyer can do.

"Yes! Opportunity, what made you..." Calvin, who was halfway through the question, also noticed the strangeness of Speyer.

He restrained his desire to question, because the silver light flowing on the surface of this human body made entirely of metal was becoming increasingly dimmer.

This is undoubtedly because Speyer's soul is becoming weak due to thinking, but Calvin searched for his own strength, and there is no way to deal with this situation.

It's not a distortion like Chaos taint, so the correction of Order can't do anything about it.

This has nothing to do with the affiliation of faith, so Calvin's redemption cannot improve his situation.

This is pure, spiritual weakness.

And facing this person who miraculously survived without any spiritual talent, Calvin didn't even dare to use ordinary spiritual power laws.

He could clearly feel that Speyer's soul was like a candle in the wind at this moment.

The chaotic memory once again caused his sanity to collapse, and he fell into ignorance, while the increasingly weak soul fire showed that this fragile soul was only one step away from permanent extinction.

Calvin could only watch quietly, there was nothing he could do.He could only hope that Speyer's will was strong enough to break out of death's sleep on his own once again.

"It would be great if he still had a body." Calvin had such a thought in his mind, but he dismissed this unrealistic thought in an instant.

Let’s not talk about whether Speyer has any genetic samples left, but just say that if a soul wants to regain control of a body, even its own body, it needs great perseverance to break away from the instinct of the body.

But the existence of the body is necessary, and only the real body is the shelter of these fragile mortal souls.

Only a flesh and blood body can support the thinking and activities of the soul, so that these fragile existences can last for a long time.

Calvin waited and thought quietly, and time passed unknowingly, and after an unknown amount of time, Speyer's voice sounded again.

"Opportunity..."

Calvin raised his head, and Speyer's gaze in front of him was once again occupied by reason. His soul became weaker, but after waking up from chaos again, his will also became purer.

This passive fire of soul was burning quietly in front of Calvin.

And after relying on his own will, discarding the memory that has nothing to do with his core will, and breaking through the chaos again, Speyer's eyes are even more humane and wise than before.

"You remember?" Calvin's tone also became gentle, as if he was talking to a close friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, Speyer deserves his respect, because at this time, he is no longer a lost disciple who just woke up, but the real master of the North Wind God.

"I remembered... I remembered a lot, and I forgot a lot."

A humanized smile appeared on the silver metal face, and the originally dry voice became magnetic.

"But forgetting sometimes makes people relaxed, and it also makes people want to understand their needs, so as to become pure."

Calvin was somewhat shocked by Speyer's words, this was the first time he had seen such a detached mortal.

He didn't see hatred in the eyes of this person who grew up thousands of years ago, but saw the more pure and rational eyes after suffering.

"You don't hate him?" Calvin asked uncontrollably, because in today's empire, there are very few people who are not driven by hatred.

"Hate? You have. People are always like this. As much trust as you once paid for worship, you will have as much hatred when you are betrayed." Speyer's eyes have a little reminiscence, but more of a firm expression .

"what about now?"

"Now?" Speyer thought for a while, and then said to Calvin:

"Death and ignorance are disintegrating my soul, and I must know what I believe most, and then go through all my memories to find the core of myself."

"What do you believe?" Calvin asked.

"I...believe...hope, I believe...humanity should have a better future. I believe that the empire should not be what it is now, that human beings should not be blinded by the hatred in front of them, let alone fight for revenge. I believe Even in the absence of the Emperor, his spirit will continue to guide us!"

Speyer spoke faster and faster, and the light in his eyes grew brighter.

Although this soul is weak, it can be blown away by any gust of wind.

But because he has rediscovered and established his ideals, he is stronger than ever.

"I believe—Imperial Truth!"

"Even if the gods have confirmed their existence?" Calvin spread out his palms, and the glimmer of psychic energy danced in his palms.

"I still believe it!" Speyer blinked and said:
"We respect the facts. If the gods prove their existence, we will admit them, but this still does not hinder our struggle, and it will not make us give up ourselves and seek their shelter!"

"No fear, no belief, no blind obedience?"

"No fear, no belief, no blind obedience!"

"Even if you die?"

"Even if you die!"

call!Calvin let out a long breath, the person in front of him really made him feel mixed emotions.

The light of reason is so rare and precious in this empire, and the soul in front of me is just blooming with the brightest light because of this.

Here is a man who has come back from death by his own will, a man who has endured the most severe trials.

His will has merged with his vision, and he has become an existence that even Calvin envied. The weight of his entire life is supported by that pure ideal, without any hesitation or hesitation.

This is his comrade in arms!This is him, even the Emperor's companion on the road to the realization of ideals!
He deserves to be saved because he deserves a greater responsibility!
Calvin no longer thinks about the original purpose of his trip, because there will be no more important gains than him in this trip!

On the contrary, how to continue this precious soul is his most urgent desire now!
"I probably know what you want, it's below." Speyer pointed to a lava ocean in the crater beyond Titan.

"You found out?" Calvin was a little embarrassed, but more of a sense of urgency.

"It's not that hard..." Speyer winked at him, then smiled and said:
"Go ahead... don't waste any more time on my behalf. I guess you must be busy, I've never seen... my lord Primarch."
