Chapter 488: Elephant Rescue Plan Rejected
Chapter 488 Elephant Rescue Plan - Rejection
Of course, the person is still the same person, but the face is no longer the same as it was back then.
As the dominant and core of life, the soul will inevitably have a long-term impact on the latter in the fusion with the body.
Kasin could not recognize the person in front of him, because Calvin had just awakened at that time, and after a full hundred years in this world, Calvin's face was naturally far from what it was back then.
The psychic veil is meaningless in front of the untouchables. Kasin, who is already a senior silent nun, can clearly see Calvin's true face hidden under the veil.
There are still some traces of the past on the unfamiliar face, but in terms of the overall perception, it is more replaced by the hard edges of Jiang Wen in his previous life.
At this time, Calvin still has the typical European depth in the main structure of the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose, but whether it is the corners of the eyes or the edges of the lips, the East Asian race is based on civilization or blood. The unique hardness under the implicitness is interpreting everything in his character.
But the look in his eyes would not change, even if this face was no longer the one Kasim was familiar with.
The look in the eyes of the person who had never shown disgust towards her and her sisters before and after the awakening of psychic power, which Kasim could not forget, was a rare memory that this silent warrior had never seen before and would never see again.
"Calvin?" Kasim subconsciously made a sign language, and then realized the communication barrier between them. She looked around in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and then locked her eyes on the still limp Unsworn.
And Calvin's next words interrupted her attempt to pull up her subordinates, and turned her questioning and slightly nostalgic eyes back to the person in front of her.
"Forgot? I can understand sign language..." Calvin sighed in a low voice.
The expected meeting somehow turned into such an embarrassing scene, but fortunately he finally stopped Kasim and did not let her completely cut off the channel of communication.
Yes, he knew these silent warriors too well.
Orders and disciplines do not apply to these silent oath-observers, because from the perspective of responsibility and obligation, they contribute far more to the empire than they receive in return.
They knew their specialness from the beginning, and they were even more aware of their status in human society. The emperor used them for too many obvious utilitarian purposes, and they never objected to this.
A sense of belonging is the only reason why they are still willing to fight for the empire, and if they are determined to disobey, then neither Calvin nor Trajan, or even the emperor, will have much to do.
They are devotees and sacrificed, and you cannot command them unless they are willing.
"Long time no see, Kasim." Calvin stood up and walked towards the silent sisters.
And his sturdy body, which dwarfed the Marshal of the Imperial Guards, naturally attracted Kasim's attention.
"How... are you here? No..." Kasin's question was interrupted by herself. She was a little confused at first, then interrupted the previous question and directed the question in a new direction:
"Your identity? Who do you represent now?" Kasin asked.
This is the problem of lack of information.
Although Kasin is now the leader of the Black Ship, and has a high voice in the entire Star Tongue Court after inheriting the political legacy of the previous generation of ladies.
But she does not belong to the branch of the Throne Court after all, and her knowledge range is also limited to the Star Tongue Court accordingly.
She can only get the common sense and secrets of the Astartes that can be displayed to the empire, and the information about the Grey Knights and the Primarch is not something she can access at all.
Of course, the rationality of normal people also imprisoned her imagination.
So this old friend who can get along with the obviously imperial guard officers on an equal footing naturally became a standard Grey Knight senior in her eyes.
"I, on behalf of the Grey Knights, the Inquisition." Calvin was familiar with the sign language of these nuns, and could naturally follow the rhythm that they could understand most easily, and adjust the inverted word order of Gothic word by word.
"Okay, go ahead." There were not too many decorative words, and there was no nostalgia for meeting old friends.
The language expressed by Kasin's hands was turning serious with her face. They had never met ordinary human women, and being able to have a little gentleness in their eyes was the greatest kindness of this silent nun to Calvin.
"A mission, the empire is facing a crisis, and we need you and your sister." Calvin glanced at Trajan beside him, and then said to Kasin.
"It is my duty." Kasin still looked at Calvin calmly, but turned a blind eye to Trajan who was one step away.
Calvin shook his head slightly, taking in the atmosphere between the two.
He opened his mouth in embarrassment, and finally said to Kasin: "No, this is not enough. We need more people."
"What do you mean?" Kasin's flexible fingers paused for a moment, and her slightly dilated pupils showed that she understood Calvin's meaning.
This lady, who had been calm and tenacious since entering this hall, was finally at a loss at this moment. She first looked at Calvin carefully, and then looked at the guards beside her with sudden realization.
"You, no, you, want to restart the Silent Order?"
"Yes." Calvin gave an affirmative answer.
After getting the answer, Kasin first took a deep breath and digested the news brought by Calvin. Then he looked at Trajan, who had been silent, with a complicated expression, and said vengefully:
"Too late, too late."
Too late? The two men looked at each other, and then looked at Kasin. They subconsciously regarded Kasin's answer as a rebuke and rejection of past betrayal.
The Imperial Guards Marshal prepared his tone for a moment and apologized to the nun in front of him with the most sincere attitude:
"I... No, my brothers and I have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter..."
However, Kasin's sign language interrupted Trajan's words again. Her calm face and flying fingers gave Calvin an ominous premonition:
"No! This is not a rejection, but a fact. It's too late, they are gone.
I can contact them for you, but they have no place to stay after leaving the temple. Except for a few sisters who were taken in by the Black Ship Alliance, the rest have disappeared long ago..."
This is really bad news. Calvin and Trajan looked at each other.
Although they knew the ecology of the untouchables at the bottom of the empire, they still couldn't believe it but had to accept this cruel reality when it came to the sisters of silence.
Yes, the sisters of silence who lost the protection of the empire, after returning their swords and taking off their armor, once again became an unwelcome group.
And this group has never doubted the meaning of their existence in the past thousands of years, nor has it left any way out for themselves and other sisters to save themselves outside of fighting.
When the decree from Terra came from the sky, and those comrades who had fought side by side for thousands of years remained silent.
These silent women first fell into panic and stagnation, and then accepted their fate of being abandoned in disappointment and helplessness.
The officials of the Empire were at the gate of the monastery where they lived, and in the distant sky, the warships belonging to the fighting sisters had already appeared vaguely.
They could only look at each other with regret, and then, at the urging of the Terra messenger, they prayed to the Emperor's statue in the monastery for the last time, and then quietly left their homes where they had lived for generations in loneliness and silence.
