Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 5 Legendary Seeds

It had been three days since Calvin's report reached the lady.

When the document was finally handed over to the lady, she simply looked at it and put it aside.

She decided to complete the more important things at hand, rather than a conclusive document that only needed her confirmation.

The twists and turns brought about by this child's aristocratic status are not inconspicuous in the lady's long life, but it does bring some troubles, but fortunately, the process is still interesting.

So as an interesting conclusion, the lady certainly has reason enough to leave the last part of the pleasure, Calvin's grading report, to herself after dinner.

This may be a good pastime for ladies to relieve insomnia in the long night, not a meal, but a dessert.

Since it is a dessert, perhaps in the eyes of a woman, it is the best way to eat it with red wine before bed.

Arriving at the same time as the dessert was an emissary from the planetary governor, who brought a letter of apology from the governor himself, along with a large number of agricultural world-specific goods and some expensive gifts.

The lady's response to this was to politely accept the Governor's apology, and the supplies were divided into two categories: living supplies were left on the spot for the crew to improve their lives. The tithing in the next cycle will be deducted in advance; while the property remains unchanged, it will be returned the same way.

The messenger who came to deliver the letters and supplies had no other opinion on this. The lady's savvy skills and mature handling left him and the big man behind him speechless.

Since they can't find a loophole, the bureaucrats in these places can only pray to His Majesty the God-Emperor who is far away in Terra in the depths of their hearts, hoping to send the God of Plague away as soon as possible.

As for Calvin himself, who was the cause of everything, no one remembers him at this time.

A person's fate seems so small at this moment, especially when he has no ability to make his own voice.

And just like that, on the fifth day after the final capture and its follow-up events, the Wanderers finally embarked on her final journey back to Terra.

With the efforts of the crew who had a short rest, the Wandering Orchestra began to escape the planet's gravity, trying to escape its orbit and enter space.Drive towards the turning point of the golden chamfer in the galaxy.

Three days later, at the turning point on the edge of the galaxy, the Wandering Orchestra, which reached the minimum standard for warp navigation after a brief acceleration, finally disappeared from the observation range of the outer space station of the galaxy after a flash.

There must be someone in the governor's mansion on the top floor of the hive at the moment to celebrate their departure.But, who cares?

"Dong dong dong! Student 9527, open the door! Your breakfast is here!"

"Dong dong dong! Student 9527, open the door, your meal is here!"

"Dong dong dong! 9527! Open the door! Food!"

The above is all the information Calvin communicated with the outside world in the three days after being assigned the cabin.

He was asked not to go out without permission in the cabin, and the only communication was to make eye contact with the crew members through the door while the meal was being served.

9527 is both the room number and Calvin's number on the ship.

This cabin is not spacious, including the bed, table and toilet, the single cabin of about eight square meters is all his activity space.

Clean but minimalist decor, no books, no player, no entertainment.

Calvin did not complain, his military career in his previous life made him adapt to such paramilitary management very quickly, and even enjoyed it.

But the outside world was obviously not overly concerned about him.In view of his underage biological age, or because he was afraid of complaining, before he entered the confinement cabin, the elusive naval officer also led him to take a look at the real people who were used to transport the low-level psionicists, which is what the officer said. The cabin of the "firewood".

The dark and dark cabin of more than 100 square meters has no windows, no bunks, and even no toilets.

2 small ventilation valves and a simple water supply valve are all the life-sustaining equipment for the dozens of "residents" crowded here.

Calvin standing behind the cabin door was unforgettable by the smell of excrement in the air. Compared with there, Calvin felt like he was in heaven at this moment.

In the short 8 days, he finally had the opportunity to be alone and alone without being disturbed.

He needs to think about his situation, which is his immediate problem.

who am I?
Jiang Wen or Calvin?
How did I get here?

Where am I going now?
what should I do?
In the five days before the spacecraft entered the warp, Calvin thought carefully and finally came to a conclusion: I am Jiang Wen, and I am also Calvin.

Since this body was born, it has no self-consciousness. Before the soul was born, Calvin, who accidentally came to this universe, has already occupied the dove's nest.

Therefore, there is no process of phagocytosis and assimilation from start to finish.

Therefore, his legal reason for this body is enough to convince his own ethical concept.

As for his parents, it's a pity he never had the chance to see them.

Calvin also only knew from the mouths of the surrounding servants that they all served in a certain knight order.

They are the pillars of the empire's heavy military force, and they are also one of the countless military nobles represented by the sun lords throughout the empire's territory.

When Calvin was only three days old, his parents were called to the war front of the Empire.

The Cartier world in the distant hazy star field is a planet-level large-scale war fortress for the empire to defend against Chaos attack.

Every year, countless Imperial soldiers are recruited from various worlds in the galaxy to fend off the powerful and suffocating waves of attack from the Eye of Terror across from Cartier.

When the Warmaster of the Black Legion launched the infamous 10th Dark Crusade against the Imperium, no one in the entire Imperium could be spared.

Because once Cartier, as an interstellar transportation hub, falls, the empire will face a blank without danger in the thousands of astronomical units that follow.

"Although Cartier is small, the empire has nowhere to go." A non-famous political commissar of the Star Realm Army said after seeing the defense situation map of Hazy Star Field.

At this point, Calvin, who had been thinking quietly for three days, also came to his preliminary conclusion.

"Perhaps the gift of psionics is no accident."

Calvin, who had just finished a self-weight exercise without equipment in the cabin, lay on the single bed, gasping and thinking.

Because of the constant loss of power of the soul during the long journey, many of his memories have fallen into silence.

Correspondingly, there are many broken and no longer shining facets on the black gem that represents the embodiment of his soul.

The damage, which only his eyes could see, seemed to be repaired only by waiting for the replenishment of new powers.

But in his limited memory, he still had some vague impressions about the wonderful journey of having a dialogue with a sun with two cores when he first came to this universe.

It seemed that it was only after that conversation that Calvin had a certain permission to use the unique energy of the native land—psionic energy.

But this memory is unfortunately also fragmented with only a few pictures.

To fully recover, the currently known way is to have another psionicist to make a "free dedication" for Calvin similar to the witch in the capture operation.

And his soul also used that accidental "charge" to reach the minimum standard of rekindling the main consciousness, and then get rid of the 14-year life of the imbecile.

Well, we don't have to go into whether the witch is voluntary and free, but asking a psionicist to donate all of his soul is expensive.

For the time being, this is not something that Calvin can conditionally consider.

Calvin, who was unable to think about it, decisively gave up this question and started the next link:
Why is his soul figuratively a sphere when tested as a wall?

Such a large cognitive difference made Calvin choose to shut up instinctively.

Silence can sometimes be a virtue, especially when you're unequal and unable to protect yourself.

And the psionic knowledge reserve, which is so blank that he has no basic concepts, also makes it impossible for Calvin to analyze his specific state.

He temporarily gave up thinking in this regard, and the code of conduct of the former soldier came into play again:
Try as much as you can and if it still doesn't work, don't worry.The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and it may be a good choice to leave everything to time...

Eight days passed in a flash.

Before entering the warp navigation state, the black ship needs to perform a ship-wide "quiet" procedure.

From a security standpoint, the Black Ship needs to ensure absolute silence for all "sensitive cargo" traveling in the warp.

This ensures that these "big babies" who are already favored by the warp space have no chance to create more dangers at the moment when they are so close to the origin of the warp space.

And seasoned crews know that high-dose sedatives are the most harmless and cost-effective option in this situation.

This is also the most frequently replenished material on a black ship that uses warp travel as the main method of intergalactic intergalaxy, and it is not one of them.

On the eighth day of the launch of the spacecraft, three hours before the arrival of 0:[-].

The sedatives are evaluated according to the hazard level and stability criteria for efficient and orderly delivery to various target groups on board.

Specific release methods include but are not limited to:
The anesthetic gas discharged from the exhaust valve of the cabin at the bottom of the spacecraft, the one-to-one injection of anesthesia performed by the person in the heavy monitoring cabin, and the small blue pills that our protagonist Calvin received with lunch.

In short, before the scheduled time, all the "goods" on the black ship went into sleep smoothly.

The crew members who are not on duty are also required to stop all recreational activities and return to their respective cabins to go to sleep.

Only when they need to work, will personnel be responsible for waking up.

The whole ship fell silent immediately.At this point in the entire black ship, only less than one-third of the personnel are working silently while staying awake.

When the whole preparatory work came to an end, the relaxed lady finally remembered the document that had been left out for a long time.

As a reward, after taking out a glass of red wine from the freezer, under the dim candlelight, the lady turned to the first page with great interest...

"Born in a world twice the standard Terra gravity environment?"

"190cm tall and 110kg weight?"

"14 years old?"

Just looking at the data of the first three items, the lady's brows furrowed: "Oglin bloodline?" Looking down, sure enough:

"Pure blood humans?"

The special red lettering indicates that it is not only the lady who is confused about this.After taking a sip of red wine, the lady continued to read patiently:
Psionic Fluctuation Difference: β
Psionic Fluctuation Cycle Stability: Beta
Willpower: α+
Self-awareness: β

Potential: Beta

Birthplace reference difference: Γ
Overall Rating: Beta

"Well, the potential is low."

According to the information in the ground capture operation, the explosive pouring of a β-level psionicist can be digested in a short time, at least a β++ level is required.

But it wasn't the fault of the testers involved.

As the Sisters of Silence's base team directly under the lady's control, their action information has always been only responsible for the lady herself.Others have no right to intervene, not even the captain.

Therefore, it is understandable that there are errors in the evaluation results on the basis of differences in information.

At the bottom of the parchment page, on the recommended job training column, three of the four blank columns have been filled.

Based on the different positions represented by each other, after the signatures of the three psionic masters, the contents of the column of developing opinions are inconsistent:
The first one, Adolf Munger from the department directly under Xingyu Court: "Wizard, stability above the horizontal line is worth cultivating."

The second article, from Andrei Petrovich, who was stationed in the Imperial Navy Department of Xingyu Court: "The political commissar of the legion, a strong military style and a good sense of obedience make people believe that he can perform his duties well."

The third article, Richardson from Xingyu Court stationed in the Ministry of the Interior: "Psionic Choir, a strong physique will give this student a chance to be loyal to the Emperor for a longer time."

After reading the three points of view representing their respective interests, the lady fell into a long period of thought.

She did not want to support the interests of any of them, even if it represented a short-term benefit to Calvin.

While thinking aimlessly, the lady subconsciously re-examined Calvin's various indicators, a choice that had not been listed in her mind for a long time, which evoked the memory of some top-secret battles she had participated in while serving in the ground forces.

"Well, maybe it works?"

She took a deep breath, signed her name on the fourth line of the column for cultivating opinions, then replaced it with a top-secret red nib, and solemnly wrote a short and legendary word "GK" ( Grey Knight).
