Chapter 196 03.0195: "Her New Life"
The first bureau of the Abyss Port Military Inspectorate, that is, in the auditorium of the Navy Military Inspectorate.
Farida was wearing a thin, coarse cloth dress used for the swearing-in ceremony and was kneeling on one knee in front of the podium in the auditorium.
The marble, which had never seen sunlight since the day the auditorium was completed, exuded a chill that numb her hands and feet.
Behind the podium stood a statue of the Emperor's Angel of Death, sculpted with the utmost reverence by the planet's greatest stone carvers five centuries ago. Its shadow fell over Farida, who bowed her head in silence.
Farida had been kneeling for quite a while. After she lowered her head, she could only see the old, weathered red carpet beneath her knees. The red was not as bright as when it was first woven, but just the right shade of red, like the mist of fresh blood...
On both sides of the red carpet stood a row of men and women wearing swords on their waists and in uniforms of different colors. The one on the left was the black and red of the Imperial Guard Military Inspector, and the one on the right was the white and gold of the Imperial Navy Military Inspector.
These men and women were dressed in neat uniforms, with power swords on their waists, their hands clasped majestically behind their backs, and their legs slightly apart, shoulder-width apart.
Although they have different looks, genders, and heights, the lower half of their faces revealed under the shadow of their brimmed hats all have the same coldness as if they were carved from stone.
If it weren't for the white gas emitted from their mouths and noses due to the low temperature when they breathed, one would almost think they were small stone sculptures like the angels of death.
The presence of these people raised the solemnity of the entire ceremony to several levels.
Ever since she had that horrible dream, the deaths of her mother, her father, and Horatio had been haunting her.
Fear and worry filled her mind.
She longed for Horatio's company, but was also concerned about his safety. Amid such complex and indescribable emotions, she finally made the choice to become a military supervisor.
[If this could keep him away, maybe he could live well instead of being killed by the curse on me.] She clasped her hands together in front of the majestic statue of the Emperor, crossed her fists and thought.
“Farida Hood.
Are you willing to dedicate your life and soul completely to the great Lord of Humanity, the Mighty God-Emperor?"
A scarlet-grade naval inspector with crimson artificial eyes stood solemnly under the statue and asked Farida in a low and hoarse voice.
Although his face looked old, his upright posture showed that he was still full of energy and vigor.
Normally speaking, the work of this Imperial Military Supervisory Committee member, who is at the same level as an admiral, is mainly clerical work, and he would have a certain bureaucratic atmosphere.
But the temperament of this military supervisor is still as sharp and murderous as if he had just been withdrawn from the front line.
"I am willing."
"Are you willing to perform your duties unwaveringly for the sake of the Divine Emperor's ideals and vision, no matter how critical the moment?"
"I am willing."
"Are you willing to resolutely and resolutely pull the trigger and punish anyone who is suspected of being disloyal and unjust and violating the will of the God-Emperor for the sake of the correct path of the God-Emperor and mankind? Even if he is the most important person to you?"
When the old military supervisor asked this question, Horatio's figure suddenly appeared in Farida's mind.
She subconsciously thought of herself pointing a gun at Horatio, and her heart skipped a beat.
[No, he would never betray the God-Emperor. He would never.]
"I do." Farida calmed herself down and made a vow.
She was convinced that this would never happen to him.
In a long and painful oath-taking session in the coldness.
Farida knelt before the God-Emperor's Angel of Death and swore allegiance to the Lord of Mankind.
The old military inspector closed the big book, locked it, and handed it to the military inspector Camelin beside him, and then smoothly drew out the power sword from the scabbard in her hand.
He walked slowly forward, his steps steady and firm, his military boots making a dull thump on the red carpet.
He stood in front of Farida, sword raised majestically.
Farida raised her head and looked directly into his mechanical prosthetic eye that glowed an ominous red light, then closed her eyes and straightened her chest.
In the past, she might have been nervous.
But now, she is no longer the delicate and fragile little girl she used to be.
But a woman.
A real woman, physically and mentally.
The sword struck her shoulder, feeling strangely heavy, as if the blow had struck her soul.
"From now on, Farida Hood, you will become the eyes of the God-Emperor and the ruler of the God-Emperor, with the power to inspect and punish all acts that endanger the empire and cowardice.
This is not only your right, but also your obligation.
You have to make others feel awe of you, and you have to make yourself feel awe of yourself, so that you can do what ordinary people cannot do in any critical moment, turn the tide, and save the people from danger."
"I will do my duty."
In the presence of all the military supervisors, Farida took a solemn oath that she must abide by in order to become a member of the military supervisory committee.
An Imperial Guard Military Supervisor and a Navy Military Supervisor, each holding a Navy Bolter Revolver and a Military Discipline Power Sword, and wearing the black, white and gold Navy Military Supervisor uniform, a wide-brimmed hat, breeches, and long boots, walked to Farida's wings.
"Remember your loyalty!" All the military supervisors drew their swords from their waists and raised them diagonally upwards. The sword blades crossed each other at high altitude, forming a series of sword arches. The majestic and loud voices resounded throughout the cold auditorium.
"Remember loyalty!" Farida took a deep breath and felt relieved.
As an untouchable, if she becomes a naval officer, this disgusting temperament will only make her work extra difficult and arduous.
But...if it is a member of the Military Supervisory Committee.
After the swearing-in ceremony, Military Supervisor Camelin led Farida to the bathing area behind the auditorium.
She took off her thin linen clothes, bathed and changed her clothes, then put on a military inspector's coat with a tall stand-up collar, her breeches were loose and soft, and her patent leather boots shone brightly under the light.
She placed the majestic wide-brimmed hat on her head, and the shadow added a terrifying look to her frosty green eyes.
Her beautiful face had a cold and majestic expression.
Finally, she no longer had to put on a smile in front of anyone.
Her job was to be feared, and now her status as an untouchable made her even more fearsome.
And as a member of the Navy's Military Supervision Committee, the determination is based on the tests conducted by the military supervision experts.
During the warp voyage, it was impossible for any demon to tear open a rift and invade the space within a 130-meter radius where she was.
Within 330 meters, all demons will be severely weakened, and the more powerful the demon, the more severely it will be weakened.
If some low-level unclean creatures were killed by her own hands, they would be completely torn to pieces and would never be resurrected in the subspace.
Her physique seemed made for a naval prison.
This gave Farida confidence. For the first time in her life, she felt that the qualities that had troubled her for so long could be of value to the empire.
[If Horatio becomes the captain in the future, I should be able to counter the demon invasion and not interfere with the officers' work while being on the bridge.]
She thought absentmindedly, but soon frowned in self-blame.
[What am I thinking...I shouldn't get close to him before verifying the authenticity of the curse.]
Farida suppressed her inner thoughts, but she also remembered Horatio's analysis.
Whether this was a curse or a conspiracy that the bad guys had been planning for more than ten years, she would find out. She also believed that he would find out.
Reason told her.
It is better to wait until the truth comes out before saying anything.
Under the current circumstances, if we continue to associate with him, it would be irresponsible to the empire and to his safety.
To be on the safe side, she strengthened her determination once again, put her left hand on the sword, strode towards the gate, put her hand on the sword and strode out.
She will be very busy later, and she knows that he will be busy too.
But this is reassuring, because she knows that he and she will eventually reach the same destination after walking on different paths, and reveal the truth of everything to the world.
She would quietly help him in her own way and with her own efforts, where he couldn't see.
Seeing Farida coming out, Military Supervisor Melina came up.
"Based on your previous service to the Empire in the Ministry of Justice and your combat exploits as a naval officer candidate, the Chuji Military Supervisory Office has decided to directly grant you the rank of Trainee Inspector with 12000 points."
"Understood, Military Supervisor Melina."
"Let's go, it's time to act. There's no time to waste, the Storm Troopers are ready."
After they finished speaking, the two of them performed the Sky Eagle Salute to each other and walked out together.
On the platform where the Valkyrie was parked, the Chusa Storm Troopers were ready to go.
Wearing a bright red beret, the captain, Valina, stood at the front of the queue. In front of her stood William Carter, the Demon Court Inquisitor, who was pacing anxiously and waiting.
The Storm Heirs had no communication with the Inquisitors. They were like rows of emotionless living combat robots, just silently waiting for the next order.
This was not the first time Valina had served the Inquisitor. She had performed similar operations so many times that she had lost count.
And contributed at least half of the kill team achievements to her resume.
She also knew that the Stormborn were useful knives and tools for the Inquisitors.
One need not give an account of knives and tools; the Inquisitor only wants her to eliminate the enemies and traitors of the Empire.
Valina is good at this.
Seeing the two naval inspectors coming out, Valina instinctively glanced at them quickly.
Then, her eyes fixed on the young blonde female military supervisor.
[Isn’t that… Lieutenant General Hood’s daughter?] The female sergeant major was unusually confused.
[She should be in the Imperial Navy, why is she wearing the uniform of a naval inspector? ? ]
Recently, a senior translator from the Document Court came to help with proofreading and editing. However, he has his own job and is very professional and responsible in editing. In addition, he was asked to do it at a critical moment, so it will be a bit slow. The next chapter has not been proofread yet, and I will post it as soon as the revision is completed.
