Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 95 Unkind Invitation
Boom...boom...boom...boom...

Following the sound of the footsteps of the three Terminator power armors, the figures of Calvin and his two companions appeared outside the bridge of the black ship "Noble and Dirty".

The two people on the high platform also stopped their conversation after hearing the footsteps, and turned their eyes to the three people walking in the distance.

"Is this height a bit wrong?" Ma Wei asked the priest beside him in a low voice.

Based on his years of dealing with various Astartes of the Deathwatch, among these angels, height is in a certain sense synonymous with combat power and a reliable external expression.

And Calvin's height, which is obviously higher than that of ordinary veterans and big guys, really makes Mavi a little confused.

"In terms of general rationality, it is indeed not right."

Father Constantine looked at the approaching figure of Calvin, and replied thoughtfully.

Mars, where he was born, was the birthplace of the entire Mechanicus, and the knowledge system and corresponding promotion paths he possessed were extremely complex.

And the one chosen by Constantine, or in other words, the initial technical data that was randomly injected into him when he was born in an artificial test tube did not have any relevant data on the path of the biological system.

Therefore, he will have no chance to transfer to the biology department in the future growth path.

And in the endless ocean of knowledge within the Mechanicus, no amount of interlacing is enough to describe the cognitive differences among the priests of different paths.

The result of this difference is that mechanical priests and casting sages are extremely cautious about fields they are not familiar with and do not express any opinions easily.

It is also because of this that Constantine, whose title is "Lord of the Forge" from Mars, can only make common sense judgments on the external data shown by Calvin.

While they were still amazed by Calvin's height, the spiritual energy field on the opponent's body had slowly begun to cover the entire bridge with the distance.

The two greeted Calvin in the direction, ready to exchange polite greetings with each other.

Ma Wei didn't realize it himself, and at some point he had subconsciously ignored Calvin's appearance.

In other words, even if he didn't ignore it, what he could see under deliberate observation couldn't be retained in his memory.

Mechanical Priest Constantine is more sensitive.

His consciousness also failed to escape the cover of Calvin's halo, but the logic engine on his body has already detected a huge error between the imaging in his brain and his observation.

The difference in the two data packets used for comparison triggered the extreme value allowed by the agreement in a short time, so the alarm sounded from Constantine's head:
"Warning! The observation protocol is invalid! Interference by unknown forces, there are errors, there are errors..."

Father Constantine woke up instantly from his confusion. He thought he was being invaded by some kind of data virus.

So he stopped following Ma Wei's footsteps, gripped his scepter tightly, and started the whole-body self-examination procedure.

However, after quickly passing one item of data in the quick self-check, the final result showed that he had not been compromised in any way.

He looked at his palm with some doubts, and then followed Ma Wei's footsteps.

And Mavi in ​​front has already started the initial contact with Calvin.

"I welcome you in the name of... the throne. I... am Mavi Austin, the resident judge of the Alien Tribunal in the Rust Belt. This..."

Mavi turned to look at Constantine who was walking slowly behind and continued:

"This... is the mechanical priest from Mars—the master of the forge, Lord Constantine."

The mechanical priest had just walked behind Ma Wei at this time, and after hearing the former's introduction to himself, he also bowed slightly to Calvin to show respect.

Calvin stopped and looked down at the two of them.Out of procedure and courtesy, he also responded:
"Grey Knight, Arbiter Calvin. The leader of this operation team. You can call me by my military rank."

After the three of them stared at each other for less than a second, Calvin was the first to break the calm.

"The help signal received by the battleship we were on was incomplete, so this cross-system response, in my opinion, is a misunderstanding. If there are no other problems, I hope you can take us to the nearest assembly point, Let us return to our base."

"Um……"

The two who heard Calvin's words looked at each other, as if their discussion was valid before repeatedly confirming.

After getting the confirmation look from the mechanical priest, Mavi turned his head to look at the giant in front of him:

"Your Majesty, I dare...to ask the honorable angel, do you have any assigned tasks?"

"Not yet."

Calvin frowned slightly, and he had a premonition that there might be some unexpected news next.

"Bless the Emperor! So, are you willing to provide us with some help? Due to some reasons, the nearby Death Watch and Astartes failed to respond to our request for help in time, and the interests of the empire are currently being lost. We urgently need your help."

"This is against the rules! We have no agreement with the Inquisition of Aliens." Golden joined the conversation on the side.

"But the interests of the empire must not be lost, and we are all humble servants serving the emperor. And we really can't leave here before the incident is over." Mavi's articulate words became more and more fluent.

"..." Calvin stopped talking, and he looked at the two people in front of him.

The attitude of the other side shows that they really need Calvin's team, but it also shows that there must be some kind of particularity in the specific missions that exist here.

Calvin carefully examined the two people in front of him and considered whether it was necessary to involve himself and the soldiers under him in this unplanned mission.

Allies are untrustworthy, the environment is unfamiliar, and the mission background is completely unclear. This has almost met all the disadvantages that can be imagined.

If Calvin still hastily took over such a task, it would really be a crime against the precious lives of his comrades in arms.

Calvin, who had made up his mind, decided to reject the two people in front of him.

As for how to leave, the big deal is that they will send a signal to the nearby Demon Tribunal after they go to the nearest planet.

Although it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, it is undoubtedly a hundred times better than throwing myself and my comrades into this unknown vortex.

Just as he was about to speak, Father Constantine, who had not participated in the conversation until now, spoke.

"We know your difficulties. Although it is very inappropriate, I do have a heavy responsibility to come here this time, and the interests of Mars must not be damaged. Please help me for the sake of Dimos. I would like to represent the foundry Thank you for your generosity."

Calvin raised his eyebrows again:

That's right, the unique bright red burqa on the opponent's body and the golden gear-wrapped skull logo on the top of the head all prove that the opponent is a member of the Mechanicus from Mars.

This outfit is not a common item in the distant Storm Star Field.

And considering that not far away is the Forge World of Greya known as the "Crown of Miracles", and then think about the Reza who has been singing against Mars half a star field away.

The appearance of this priest here is even more intriguing.

As for Titan, that is, the miniature foundry world Deimos that accompanied the mother star Titan, he had a certain understanding.

After all, the Terminator power armor he is wearing and the weapons he is holding do not meet his needs, and the set of suits and weapons that are specially customized for him were made on Deimos by a senior casting priest who came from Mars. build.

During the initial ordering, Calvin went back and forth between Titan and Deimos at least twenty times before fully explaining the specific size of his body and his personal needs for weapons to the casting master there.

The other party did maintain a very professional and conscientious attitude throughout the process.

In the long three years, Calvin's personal needs were confirmed over and over again, and at least hundreds of experimental products were produced to prove the feasibility of Calvin's hypothesis.

Others could deny this favor, but Calvin really couldn't refuse it.

He turned his head to look at the two people beside him, asking their opinion with his eyes.

And these two brothers also understood Calvin's difficulties, and they gave Calvin a definite reply in the psychic channel.

"No problem, special circumstances can be treated specially."

Calvin, confirmed, was no longer worried.However, out of responsibility to his comrades, he decided to understand the background of the mission as much as possible before deciding whether to participate in the mission.

He said to the priest in front of him:
"Okay, tell me about the specific task situation, there can be no concealment. I will consider whether to participate."

　Post first and change later, ask for a ticket!
