Chapter 189: The Imperial Worship of the Trainee Nun
"For the Emperor!"
Caroline woke up suddenly and shouted slogans, and the panicked Zhongsi woke up with her.
The medical sisters looked at them with a smile and did not think there was anything wrong with such behavior, because some of them had gone through the same experience before becoming medical sisters.
"Sister, you're awake, haven't you adapted yet?"
The medical sister said as she sat down beside Caroline's bed, reaching out and gently patting her back to calm her violent breathing.
"Um..."
Caroline looked at her outstretched hands, opening, clenching, and turning back and forth, as if trying to regain control of her body.
Caroline felt a little overwhelmed after leaving that sudden high-pressure environment and arriving in such an extremely quiet place where everyone around her spoke in whispers.
Although her concept of beauty and ugliness had been greatly weakened during her time at Zhongsi College, after only three days in the hospital, she was increasingly reluctant to return to that smelly monk.
The Academy is always right!
Even though the other party was just doing his duty, even though the academy is always right...
"Do you remember your name?" the medical sister asked very gently.
Caroline frowned, thinking about the meaning of the name, and then certain fragments kept coming back to her mind.
"I can't remember clearly... I feel like there are several of them. It's... very confusing."
She was not sure what she had forgotten, she only remembered how to complete the tasks assigned by the monks and how to make everyone happy.
How to strangle the enemy, how to use guns, how to chant prayers, and even forget your own name.
The medical sister looked a little distressed, then reached out and touched Caroline's short white hair.
The hair that was previously shaved into a flat head gradually grew longer and curly, coupled with the somewhat confused expression of the other party, the jade that was violently carved can finally be treated gently.
Zhongsi Academy only completed the removal of the stone skin and eliminated the worthless things, while the more refined polishing and carving still needed to be done by the nuns.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. Just behave well and the Grand Sister will give you a glorious name."
Caroline nodded and said:
"Sister, how long will we stay here? I am fully recovered and I am ready for training."
"It's almost there, sister, it's almost there..."
"Everyone stand at attention!"
Suddenly, a loud slogan sounded.
Caroline jumped off the bed reflexively, her reaction was so fast that even the medical sister was a little surprised.
No matter what they were doing, even if they were stitching up wounds, they stopped. All the staff, including the medical sisters, quickly stood up.
After the combat nun at the door finished shouting, she turned right and took two steps back to make way for the passage. Then the senior nuns from the monastery filed in.
The leader was naturally the Archsister Caterina who was in the square at that time, and behind her were three officials wearing different armors.
Yanguan, whose position is equivalent to the captain of the Space Marines, is a front-line commander.
Lillian of the Silver Shroud, Alison of the Ebony Grail, and Winnie of the Sacred Rose.
Next came the non-commissioned officers of each team and the high-ranking nuns who taught them a lesson.
Katrina remained calm but was very satisfied in her heart. They arrived an hour earlier than the wake-up time of Zhongsi Academy, but she did not expect that everyone's reaction was not slow at all.
A dozen servo skulls floated into this huge medical station for training medical nuns. As Sister Katrina opened her mouth, rumbling thunder sounded immediately.
“I am Sister Katrina, Supreme Commander of the Sisters of Battle.
The big nun in the middle and the two in the front, do they look friendly to you?
Your current status is that of an apprentice, retaining the title of Zhongsi and adding the suffix of sister.
Your tenacious fighting spirit has earned you the ticket to join the order.
In the days to come, you and I can call each other sisters. The level of military rank is just a distinction between missions and will not affect the communication between you and me.
But if you want to win the title of nun, you need hard training and continuous learning day after day.
Now, except for the sister who has not yet fully recovered from her injuries, everyone else will gather immediately and prepare to go to the state church to study. "
Everyone immediately dressed and rushed out the door. Although the elder sister said that those who have not recovered can continue to receive treatment.
But after waiting for a long time, they didn't want to stay any longer. Even if they had to limp, they had to walk out holding on to the wall.
Sister Katrina reached out and grabbed the arm of a novice and said:
"Follow instructions, sister. You are not in the Chutsu Academy anymore."
The intern was stunned for a moment, then was taken back to his bed by the medical sister.
Caroline watched the whole scene in a daze. When she saw the elder sister looking at her, the two looked at each other and she immediately jumped onto the transport plane.
It's much warmer here than Zhongsi College.
About an hour later, the plane slowly landed. Hundreds of trainees looked up at the majestic Gothic church and listened to the melodious bells coming from it.
The glittering skylight sparkled under the sunlight, and the sound of prayers recited in the church through the window gradually calmed everyone's mood.
There were nearly a hundred steps below the huge door, and there were already people waiting for them on the steps.
“Welcome fellow novices, I am the Cardinal of the Terran Ecclesiarchy.
Congratulations on passing the test of Zhongsi Academy and successfully entering the convent.
Now, you have come to one of the foundations of the empire, the state religion that promulgates the laws of the Great God-Emperor and spreads the thoughts of the Great God-Emperor!
I believe that you all have some understanding of the state religion, because you have been listening to the prayers and teachings of the great God-Emperor since you were in Zhongsi College.
That’s right, Zhongsi College is one of the subordinate units of the state religion, and the Sisters’ Order is another one, and the other is a missionary order.
You don’t need to know too much about this, because you are part of the mission, because your title is the daughter of the God Emperor!"
Hundreds of trainees looked up at the cardinal who was talking eloquently. His fanatical look made everyone feel like they were back in the academy again.
But the other party's expression was not as ferocious as that of the instructor monk. What appeared on that person's face was absolute loyalty and faith.
The bells rang and prayers continued to rumble. As the bishop's explanation of the doctrine deepened, the entire church seemed to become more glorious under his speech.
“The Sisters, together with the other two organizations, form the foundation of the state religion.
Although you and I have different functions, we belong to the same family in faith, so learning the doctrine is also something you need to master.
The state religion conveys the thoughts of the God-Emperor, and as daughters of the God-Emperor, you should practice the thoughts of the Lord of Mankind.
Now let us chant the prayer together, let us pray for the great God-Emperor and bless the entire empire!"
Dozens of priests in robes of various colors walked out of the church, each holding a burning candle in their hands.
Then dozens of winged babies flew out of the open windows, holding parchment in their hands and carrying the holy seal of chastity, and flew towards the many novices.
It's a mutant servo skull, a bloodless wax body with intelligence, why is it in the shape of a child, because it looks more holy! (Is he sure this isn't heresy?)
This artificial creature created by the Mechanicus seemed too blasphemous to others.
But in the state religion or the inquisitors, this thing is often a symbol of holiness.
This was the first time Caroline saw the Cherubim appear, although this artificial product, similar to the servoskull but with better performance, had been mentioned in the academy.
To her, or to the hundreds of other novice nuns, it was still beyond their understanding.
Or rather, they were frightened, but the academy had trained them well enough that they didn't show it.
These cherubim, whose bodies were filled with tubes, flapped their wings, which were merely decorative, and then adjusted their anti-gravity systems to slowly descend.
After handing the seal of chastity in her hand to Caroline, she giggled and took off again, surrounding everyone with a baby-like laugh.
Caroline suppressed the urge to shiver and quickly lowered her head to chant a prayer.
After a ten-minute chant, the cardinal began to explain the doctrine of the state religion.
The content is similar to what everyone has learned in college, except that it is more complicated and more numerous.
The basic principles of the church will be adjusted according to the planet's culture, but the basic concept will not change.
But the most important and unquestionable thing is that the great Lord of Humanity is the omnipotent God-Emperor!
The cardinal slowly walked down the steps and walked towards the group of lambs who had finally found their way onto the right path. They were all lambs under the feet of the future God-Emperor.
His mission is to make them realize what kind of great existence is standing on the golden throne for thousands of years and will never die.
It is precisely because of the appearance of the God-Emperor that humans have been able to survive in this chaotic and lightless galaxy for tens of thousands of years. It is precisely because of the power of the God-Emperor that the Empire has such a vast territory!
The bishop walked up to Caroline, gently lifted her chin with his finger, and then asked:
"Tell me child, do you believe in the God-Emperor?"
"I.."
"No, you don't need to answer. Your eyes have already told me that you have seen the Divine Emperor!"
As the bishop spoke, he reached out and grasped Caroline's shoulders, his eyes burning as if he really saw some kind of image.
Caroline was a little overwhelmed, but she quickly remembered the scene of the Emperor's appearance on the Trial Star.
"Yes...Yes! The God-Emperor descended upon me, and I have also seen the God-Emperor!"
Caroline's heart was instantly ignited. That kind of belief was not made by others, but she agreed with the other person's words from the bottom of her heart.
"That's right! You are all daughters of the God-Emperor. You all have the opportunity to meet the great God-Emperor!"
The bishop walked among the crowd with his hands raised high. Under the dual effects of success and suggestion, emotions gradually infected each other, and everyone realized that as long as they prayed earnestly, the Emperor of God would one day give them a call.
Emotion spread like wildfire, enveloping every novice nun who came to study, and in the days to come, their belief in the doctrine of emperor worship will become even deeper.
Everyone will become the most loyal believers of the God-Emperor in their hearts.
The cardinal looked at the nuns kneeling on the ground, trying to appeal to the Emperor, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
