Chapter 115: All killed in battle
Chapter 115: All killed in battle
"Click."
Daphne pressed the control panel and pressed the word "Killed in Action" on the list.
She had been working for five consecutive days since the orcs on Mandakan were driven away.
It’s not that she didn’t have time to rest, but she wanted to ascertain the man’s situation as soon as possible.
"Frederick Bachman, killed in action... click
Milan Kundera, killed in action... click
Pierre Lemaitre, killed in action... click
Rutherford Loire..."
Daphne closed her eyes. It was not that she had not thought about this situation, but when she really faced it, she did not expect it to be so heartbreaking.
Just a few days after they met, the war broke out, and in just half a month, the two would never see each other again.
Daphne covered her mouth to prevent her crying from being heard by the officials outside the door.
"Knock, knock, knock... Minister Daphne, can I come in?"
There was a noise outside the door and Daphne immediately wiped away her tears and sniffed.
"Ahem..come in."
"Minister, there are some discrepancies between the two documents here and we need your signature," said the staff member.
Daphne took the file, pulled out the list inside, and found it very familiar.
Because the portrait above is clearly a picture of Rutherford's deputy at the time.
"What does this mean?" Daphne asked.
"This is a transfer order from the Terra Military Affairs Department, saying that it needs to be transferred to the Hazy Star Region.
I don't know who put it on my desk, but I think the matter is serious so I came to report it to you." said the staff member.
"From the Terran Military Affairs Department?"
Daphne asked in confusion, and then opened another document, which was a transfer order that had been prepared earlier, and the content was to send Lin Heng to Terra Zhongsi College.
This was drafted and approved by her. Rutherford also begged her for a long time before he succeeded. Thinking of Rutherford, a shadow appeared on Daphne's face again.
"I understand. You can go down."
Seeing the employee leave, Daphne crossed her hands on her lips and stared at the two documents for a long time in thought.
He then left the Ministry of the Interior building with the documents, revealed his identity and entered the Star Language Court, where he found the being with the highest psychic energy level on the planet Foreman.
"Hello, President. I would like to have a divination performed on these two documents. I suspect there is something wrong with them!"
Daphne said firmly.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
The president of the court then took Daphne to find three psychic fortune tellers who specialized in using the Emperor Tarot cards for divination.
The other party took out a stack of thin-film tarot cards made of liquid crystal that were full of psychic activity.
They were placed one by one on the table, six in a row and thirteen in a column, a total of seventy-eight.
“Ms. Daphne, the results of divination cannot necessarily be accurately predicted, and some unsafe things may happen during the divination process.
Therefore, we hope you can wait outside. Of course, if you insist, we will not drive you away." said the leading fortune teller.
"I want to stay," Daphne affirmed.
After receiving the answer, the three fortune tellers nodded to the president of the court and began their divination.
"Which one would you like to start with?"
Daphne looked at the documents on the table and then handed over the one she had drafted.
The three fortune tellers stood back to back in a triangle shape, holding out their hands with their palms facing upwards. As the three of them silently chanted, Daphne felt a cool breeze in the room.
There are various variants of Tarot cards throughout the empire. In addition to being used for divination, they can also be used as poker.
Then, the cards on the table began to move, and with the cool breeze, five cards left the deck and were neatly lined up in a row.
Then the fortune teller turned over the first tarot card.
"War."
"What do you mean, the one on Mandakhan?" Daphne asked quickly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until the fortune teller finishes his interpretation. Getting involved too early will distort the answer." The president of the court stopped him.
The fortune teller continued to flip the cards. When the second card was revealed, Daphne was certain of her answer in her heart without the fortune teller's description.
"Beast. The second and fourth pictures both describe the effects of the previous one. Judging from the first two pictures, this is indeed referring to the previous battle."
Daphne clenched her fists and signaled the fortune teller to continue flipping the cards.
"Sailing."
"Opportunity. Traveling through the subspace, there are both dangers and opportunities. It depends on your choice."
Daphne nodded and motioned for the fortune teller to continue.
The fortune teller hovered over the last card for a long time, and only slowly opened it when Daphne became a little impatient.
"The Emperor. He represents hope in the cold depths of space." said the fortune teller.
Daphne frowned, thinking about what the divination result meant. Suddenly she thought of something, and quickly opened the file and pulled out the draft book with the portrait.
“Everyone involved in this incident, except me, has been killed. Someone clearly saw him rushing towards the orcs and being beaten to death by them.
And I won’t leave Foreman Star by ship either…”
Daphne was puzzled, but there was nothing wrong with the document.
What we need to be concerned about now is the transfer order that appeared at the wrong time and in the wrong way.
"Excuse me, everyone. Please do another divination on this document."
The fortune teller reshuffled the tarot cards and then laid them out one by one. The three of them stretched out their hands again to mobilize their spiritual energy and selected five tarot cards.
The cold wind was still blowing, and Daphne felt that it was even colder this time. The president then extended his hand and placed it on Daphne's shoulder.
The chill instantly disappeared. Daphne nodded to the president, thanking him for his help.
Then I saw five cards being moved to the side with great difficulty, and they were not as neat as before.
The three fortune tellers were panting, as if this divination had consumed a lot of energy.
"Any questions?"
"It's hard to say. This divination may not be accurate or even very confusing. Are you sure you want to continue checking?" asked the fortune teller.
Daphne nodded. Since this document was also about Rutherford's deputy, there must be some connection between them.
Seeing that the other party was so determined, the fortune teller nodded to the president again.
Then he turned over the first tarot card.
"die."
"Big eyes. A harbinger of the coming Chaos War!"
"Sword."
"The plunderer. But the card is upside down, which means someone is destined to fight against the enemy's conspiracy."
The fortune teller flipped four cards in a row and seemed a little dizzy. He supported himself on the table with his arms to keep his body stable.
"Are you okay?" Daphne asked.
As the first person's condition became abnormal, the remaining two fortune tellers also began to feel uncomfortable.
At this time, the three fortune tellers all felt a little strange. Instead of keeping their palms facing up, their ten fingers began to twist irregularly.
Sensing that something was wrong, the president of the Star Language Court immediately struck the scepter in his hand and then stretched out his hand towards the three fortune tellers.
A huge amount of energy gathered on the president, and Daphne saw with her own eyes that person's eyes lit up, and countless flashing electric currents ran around his body.
And just when the president of the court controlled the lightning and was about to kill the fortune teller who showed abnormality.
The last tarot card on the table suddenly turned over. At the same time, the three fortune tellers shouted in unison:
"Tzeentch!"
Suddenly, dim light burst out from the seven orifices of the three people, like the gradually fading starlight. Instantly, violent waves erupted.
The extremely powerful lightning of the judge disappeared in an instant after it came into contact with the light waves that ordinary people could not see.
As the waves disappeared, everyone in the main city of Forman heard a loud bang.
When the surrounding government departments tried to figure out what happened, the answer before them was beyond their imagination.
The Star Language Garden, which should have been glorious and magnificent, has now become a huge pit, and everything has turned to dust.
And the meaningless explosion also indicated that the Star Language Court was destroyed by an unknown force.
...
Caroline was lying in bed feeling a little uneasy, and she always felt like something was going to happen in the past two days, which made her unable to train.
"Oh!"
The door of the room was kicked open, and the monk came in again carrying a sledgehammer. All the students immediately stood up and stood at attention, fearing that the other party would feel slighted.
"You, Tadashi, it's time to accept the faith correction chair." The monk pointed at Caroline and said.
The two then came to a room where a pharmacist had already prepared the potion and motioned for Caroline to lie on a chair.
Although Caroline really wanted to ask about the use of this thing, the fate of those talkative students made her give up this plan.
"Relax, the servo skull will continue to play scripture prayers later, you just need to relax."
Although the pharmacist said so, Caroline was extremely nervous. After all, the other party fixed his limbs on the seat while speaking.
And especially the head, which was wrapped in a metal can, so she didn't even know what the pharmacist was doing.
"The Emperor is our guiding light.
It is the tower of hope for mankind in this dark galaxy.
We serve him.
He is our greatest public servant.
We pray to him.
He thinks only for us.
In the darkness of this approaching shadow,
The Emperor is with us,
In the soul, above the facts."
As Caroline was listening to the prayer, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, so painful that she wanted to scream out loud.
The pharmacist inserted the finger-long infusion needle diagonally into the back of Caroline's head, and the almost transparent liquid quickly flowed into Caroline's body through the tube.
In an instant, a sharp wail sounded from the metal can. Caroline twitched frantically in the chair, but her bound limbs prevented her from escaping the torture.
“Okay, once the injection is finished, she will become a real Zhongsi.
But it must be said that the reserves of this medicine are becoming less and less, and it has to be diluted with water.
It won't completely make her lose her previous memories, and the illusions of the past will always linger in her mind." The pharmacist spread his hands and said.
The monk pushed the door open and walked away, saying:
"Humph, for the sake of the empire, the academy is always right!"
