Chapter 306 Awakening
Chapter 306 Awakening
"clang--"
The third bell
"Great is Om Messiah, whose bones are made of steel.
Oh, O Messiah, I know the circuit of the current.
Wise is Ohm Messiah, the gears and irons awaken my soul,
Om Messiah, all machines are my swords,
Great is Om Messiah, flesh and blood are immutable, steel is eternal, truth is revealed, glory be to our God!
At the end of the hymn, the Mechanical Sage raised the scripture in his hand high and chanted together with all the servitors, servo skulls, and meditation arrays that still retained consciousness or had lost consciousness:
"Praise Om Messiah! Praise Om Messiah! Praise Om Messiah!"
On the command platform, the young Trivikon Patriarch stared at the largest, meaningless red button in the center of the console. He raised his hands and stared at the other person intently, muttering:
"Long-dormant warrior, as the head of the Trivikon family, I command you! Wake up! Pledge your loyalty to me once again!"
After saying that, he slapped his hand down heavily.
If you take the console apart, you'll find that the largest red button in the center of the console seems to have no meaning, because it is embedded in the console, with no wires or circuits connected to the back, and no electronic components inside. It seems to be just a decoration of unknown meaning.
But at the moment when Esrick pressed his hand on the button, there was a "boom" sound, and the noise of the spacecraft reached a climax and then returned to silence in an instant.
The hissing sound of the hydraulic system, the vibration of the engine firing, and the strange fluctuations of stress flow all disappeared at this moment.
Even the lighting systems in some areas of the spacecraft that had been turned on were turned off at this moment, and the entire spacecraft fell into absolute darkness. Only the projections around Esrick on the main console were still lit.
The parameters of the projected spacecraft are constantly fluctuating, but they never exceed a certain limit.
The nobles who were also invited to visit began to whisper. They were very sure that the awakening ceremony had completed the main process. If the efforts just made did not allow the young man to regain control of their family's spaceship, then any subsequent efforts would not change the result.
But none of them dared to make a conclusion on whether the awakening ceremony was successful or not.
In the dead silence, the lighting lamp suddenly lit up, and the control room changed from its previous darkness to become bright and spacious.
"Everyone," the young Governor turned to face the crowd watching from afar and solemnly announced, "The Crimson Sword has awakened."
His action of pressing the red button just now seemed like a shot of adrenaline in the old man. The old man mustered up his last courage and stood up tremblingly, even though his body functions had reached their limits, even though he was shaking like a sieve, and even though his bones, which had suffered severe calcium loss, could break at any time.
But at this moment, he still stood on the earth with his own strength and regained the dignity he had once lost.
The nobles below did not offer congratulations to Esrik, but instead an unprecedented debate broke out again.
The Crimson Sword awakens, and a decisive battle between the humans and orcs on Karenya is inevitable.
Not everyone is happy to see this result. This is another war, another gamble. Last time they lost all their fortunes, and if they lose again this time, they might even lose their lives.
Outside these nobles, Howard clapped softly.
This awakening did not involve the power of Om Messiah, and he was sincerely happy for the young man.
Following Howard's lead, the nuns, the elves, and Jasmine all clapped softly, and even Nasimov followed suit.
Although they were far apart, Howard knew Esrick could see him.
But when Howard offered his congratulations, some nobles, starting from which one, began to leave without saying goodbye to their host. More and more people left, and soon only Howard and his group remained at the sentry post that was originally full of people.
The Governor did not try to stop those who were leaving. He responded to Howard's congratulations, then turned and stroked the console with his hand.
The Crimson Sword is not the flagship of the Trevikon family.
It is said that in the distant past, when this family was at its peak, the Crimson Sword was just the most inconspicuous and unremarkable cruiser in their huge fleet, used to guard their family's true flagship, the "Supreme Distance".
But in the following nearly ten thousand years, the family suffered a series of defeats in political struggles, and by the time of his father's generation, they were even exiled to this desolate planet.
Their family's flagship had long been lost in deep space, leaving only this old spaceship.
This was Esrik's first time aboard the Crimson Sword, but as he stroked the control console, he felt a strange warm feeling in his heart, as if he were meeting an old friend again.
At this time, the Mechanical Sage also came to his side and gently placed his hand on his shoulder like an elder.
He also lived on this spaceship for a long time.
Vicklor has been the most outstanding apprentice of the Mechanicum since he was a child. In order to supplement his family income, he worked for the Trevikon family, which was already in decline but still a behemoth in the eyes of ordinary people. The Trevikon family was also willing to sponsor this young man with a bright future.
It was while working for the Trevikon family that he met the next patriarch of the Trevikon family and Esrick's father.
Fifty years ago, he passed the test of the Mechanicus and became a Mechanicus, but at the same time, the Trevikon family once again lost in the political struggle and was suppressed.
At that time, Vicklor could have ignored the family because he had repaid the favor of the Trevikon family for supporting him in the later stage of his apprenticeship by improving the Trevikon family's early warning system and helping Esrick's father avoid an assassination.
But out of something beyond personal gain, called friendship, Vicklor followed old Trivikon, who had become the patriarch at that time, onto the Crimson Sword and embarked on a journey to the planet Karenya.
During this time, he also helped old Trevicorn's wife deliver their eldest son on this spaceship, and on the planet Karenya, he also conducted the health check of the second son Esrick Trevicorn after his birth.
"This planet won't be your final destination." The Mechanical Sage patted Esrik's back gently and said, "One day, you will make this family's name resound once again. The Trevikon family will surely rise. This is your mission, your destiny, and I will help you accomplish it."
