Chapter 5 The Seed of Legend
It was three days later when the report on Calvin reached the lady.
When the document was finally handed to the lady after many twists and turns, she simply took a look and put it aside.
Compared with this kind of document with a predetermined conclusion that only needed her to confirm, she decided to complete the more important things at hand first.
The twists and turns brought by the child's noble status were not noticeable in the lady's long life, but they did bring some troubles, but fortunately the process was still interesting.
So as a conclusion of an interesting story, the lady certainly had enough reason to leave the last part of this happiness - Calvin's classification report - to herself after dinner.
This may be a good pastime for the lady to relieve insomnia in the long night. It is not a main meal, but a dessert.
Since it is a dessert, perhaps in the eyes of the lady, it is the best way to eat it with red wine before bed.
Along with this dessert, there was also an envoy from the planetary governor, who brought the governor's handwritten apology letter and a large number of special products from the agricultural world and some expensive gifts.
The lady responded by politely accepting the governor's apology, and the supplies were divided into two categories: the living supplies were left on the spot to improve the lives of the crew, and after returning to Terra, the corresponding list of supplies would be submitted to the Ministry of the Interior, and deducted in advance from the tithe of the next cycle; and the property was returned without touching it.
The messenger who came to deliver the letter and supplies had no other opinions on this. The lady's experienced skills and mature handling methods left him and the big man behind him speechless.
Since no flaws could be found, the bureaucrats in these places could only pray to the Emperor of God in Terra in their hearts, hoping to send this plague away as soon as possible.
As for Calvin himself, who was the cause of everything, I think no one remembers him at this time.
A person's fate seems so insignificant at this moment, especially when he has no ability to make his own voice, and this has been the case from ancient times to the present.
In this way, on the fifth day after the last arrest operation and its subsequent events, the Wandering Orchestra finally embarked on her last journey back to Terra.
With the joint efforts of the crew members who had a short rest, the Wandering Band began to break away from the planet's gravity and tried to get out of orbit and enter space. Heading towards the golden angle jump point in the galaxy.
Three days later, at the jump point at the edge of the galaxy, the Wandering Band, which reached the minimum standard of subspace navigation after a short acceleration, finally disappeared from the observation range of the outer space station of the galaxy after a flash.
I guess someone in the Governor's Mansion on the top floor of the hive city must be celebrating 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! Meal!"
The above is all the information that Calvin had communicated with the outside world in the three days after he was assigned to the cabin.
He was required not to go out without permission in the cabin, and the only communication was eye contact with the crew through the door when the meal was served.
9527 is both the room number and Calvin's number on the ship.
This cabin is not very spacious. Including the bed, table and toilet, the single cabin of about eight square meters is all his activity space.
Clean but simple decoration, no books, no player and no entertainment facilities.
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 people outside were obviously not too confident in him. In view of his underage physical age, or perhaps because he was afraid that he would complain, before he entered the confinement cabin, the elusive naval officer took him to see the cabin that was actually used to transport those low-level psychics, or the "firewood" in the officer's mouth.
The cabin of more than 100 square meters was dark, with no windows, no bunks, and even no toilets.
Two small air exchange valves and a simple water supply valve were all the life-support equipment for the dozens of "residents" crowded here.
The air full of the smell of excrement made Calvin standing behind the cabin door unforgettable. 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 quiet without being disturbed.
He needed to think about his situation, which was an urgent problem he needed to solve.
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 spaceship entered the subspace, Calvin thought carefully and finally came to a conclusion: I am Jiang Wen and Calvin.
This body has no self-awareness since it was born. Before the soul was generated, Calvin, who accidentally came to this universe, had already occupied the nest.
Therefore, there was no process of devouring and assimilation from beginning to end.
Therefore, his legality to this body was enough to convince his own ethical concepts.
As for his parents, it was a pity that he never had the opportunity to meet them.
Calvin only knew from the servants around him that they were all serving in a certain knight order.
They were the pillars of the heavy military force of the empire, and they were also one of the countless military nobles represented by the Lord of the Sun throughout the territory of the empire.
When Calvin was only three days old, his parents were called up to the war front in the empire.
The world of Cartier in the distant hazy star field is a planet-level large-scale war fortress for the Empire to defend against the Chaos attack.
Every year, countless imperial soldiers are recruited from various worlds in the Milky Way to resist the powerful and suffocating attack waves launched by the Eye of Terror opposite Cartier.
When the warmaster of the Black Legion launched the infamous 10th Dark Expedition against the Empire, no one in the entire Empire could stay out of it.
Because once Cartier, as an interstellar transportation hub, falls, the Empire will face a blank space with no defenses in the thousands of astronomical units in the future.
"Cartier may be small, but the Empire has no way to retreat." A non-famous interstellar military political commissar said this after looking at the defense situation map of the hazy star field.
At this time, Calvin, who had been thinking quietly for three days, also came to his own preliminary conclusion.
"The talent of psychic energy may not be an accident."
Calvin, who had just finished doing self-weight training without equipment in the cabin, lay on the single bed, panting and thinking.
Because the soul's power was constantly lost during the long journey, many of his memories fell silent.
The corresponding thing is the many broken and no longer shining facets on the black gem that represents his soul.
These damages that can only be seen by his eyes seem to have a chance to be repaired only by waiting for new power to be added.
But in his limited memory, he still has some vague impressions about the wonderful journey when he first came to this universe and had a conversation with a sun with two cores.
It seems that it was after that conversation that Calvin had a certain permission to successfully use the unique energy of the local area - psychic energy.
But this memory is unfortunately also scattered with only a few pictures.
If you want to fully recover, the currently known way is to have another psychic to make a "free dedication" for Calvin similar to the witch in the capture operation.
And his soul also reached the minimum standard of rekindling the main consciousness with the help of that accidental "charging", and then got rid of the 14-year life of a moron.
Well, we don't need to go into whether the witch is voluntary and free, but asking a psychic to contribute his entire soul must be expensive.
This is not something Calvin can consider for the time being.
Calvin, who thought fruitlessly, gave up this question decisively and started the next step:
Why is his soul embodied as a sphere, but it is considered a wall in the test?
Such a big cognitive difference instinctively made Calvin choose to shut up.
Silence is sometimes a virtue, especially when you have unequal information and are unable to protect yourself.
And the psychic knowledge reserve that is so blank that there is not even a basic concept, also makes Calvin have no way to analyze his specific state.
He temporarily gave up thinking about this aspect, and the code of conduct of the soldiers in his previous life came into play again:
If there is still no result after trying as much as possible, don't worry about it. The boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridgehead, and leaving everything to time may be a good choice...
Eight days passed in a flash.
Before entering the subspace navigation state, the black ship needs to carry out a ship-wide "quiet" procedure.
From a safety perspective, the black ship needs to ensure that all "sensitive goods" are absolutely quiet during the subspace travel.
This ensures that these "big babies" favored by the subspace have no chance to create more dangers at such a close moment to the origin of the subspace.
And experienced crew members know: large doses of sedatives are the most harmless and cost-effective choice for this situation.
This is also the most frequently supplied material on the black ship, which uses subspace travel as the main method of crossing galaxies.
On the eighth day of the launch of the spacecraft, three hours before 0 o'clock.
Sedatives are released to various target groups on the ship efficiently and orderly according to the danger level and stability assessment.
Specific release methods include but are not limited to:
Anesthetic gas discharged from the exhaust valve of the bottom cabin of the spacecraft, one-to-one injection anesthesia performed by a dedicated person in the heavy monitoring cabin, and the blue pills that our protagonist Calvin received with lunch.
In short, before the specified time, all the "cargo" on the black ship fell into a deep sleep smoothly.
Crew members who are not on duty are also required to stop all entertainment activities and return to their respective cabins to sleep.
Only when they need to work will there be personnel responsible for waking them up.
The entire spacecraft also fell silent. At this point, less than one-third of the crew of the entire black ship remained awake and worked silently.
When the entire preliminary preparation work came to an end, the relaxed lady finally remembered the document that had been neglected for a long time.
As a reward, she took out a glass of red wine from the freezer. Under the dim candlelight, the lady turned the first page with interest...
"Birth world twice the standard Terra gravity environment?"
"190cm height and 110kg weight?"
"14 years old?"
After just looking at the first three data items, the lady frowned: "Ogryn bloodline?" Looking down, it turned out to be true:
"Pure-blooded human?"
The special red mark shows that the lady is not the only one who is confused about this. After taking a sip of red wine, the lady patiently continued to read:
Psychic fluctuation difference: β
Psychic fluctuation cycle stability: β
Will strength: α+
Self-cognition: β
Potential: β
Birthplace reference difference: Γ
Overall rating: β
"Well, the potential is low."
According to the information in the ground capture operation, to be able to digest the explosive outpouring of a β-level psyker in a short time requires at least a β++ level.
But this is not the fault of the testers involved.
As a team of Sisters of Silence directly under the ladies, their actions and information are always responsible only to the ladies themselves. No one else has the right to interfere, not even the captain.
Therefore, it is understandable that there will be errors in the evaluation results based on differences in information.
At the bottom of the parchment page, in 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 spiritual masters, the content in the training opinion column is inconsistent:
The first one comes from Adolf Munger, who is directly under the Star Court: "Wizard, stability above the horizontal line is worth cultivating."
The second article comes from Andrei Petrovich, who is stationed in the Imperial Navy Department of the Star Language Court: "The political commissar of the legion, his strong military style and good sense of obedience make people believe that he can perform this duty well."
The third article comes from Richardson, who is stationed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Star Language Court: "Psionic Chorus, a strong body will give this student a longer chance to be loyal to the emperor."
After reading the three points of view representing their respective interests, the lady fell into thinking for a long time.
She did not want to support the interests of any of them, even if it would benefit Calvin in the short term.
While thinking aimlessly, the lady subconsciously re-examined Calvin's various indicators. A choice that had not been included in her mind for a long time evoked the memory of some top-secret battles she had participated in when she served in the ground forces.
"Hmm, maybe it works?"
She took a deep breath, signed her name in the fourth line of the opinion column, then changed to the red pen tip representing top secret, and solemnly wrote a short and legendary word "GK" ( Gray Knight).
