The Star Knight

In front of the Temple of the Stars, the golden star fox disintegrated in an instant, flew from outside the hall, and appeared in front of the altar with Legerson wrapped around it.

Rector stood under the light and said in a deep voice: "He came back once and took everything from Opal and Raymond."

"He finally found out that this is the moment when his faith is at its weakest," Legerson said.

Rector: "Ready to fight, Legerson."

Legison said: "No, teacher, only you can play. I arranged all of this, so my heart is full of guilt and fear. I must stay here, and your belief is still the same. And I can't play. , otherwise it will undoubtedly fail, and my faith is almost extinguished."

Rector closed his eyes, stood quietly in front of the altar, and released his belief.

"I've strayed from what I believed in," Reckert said. "Even so, I couldn't beat him."

Rajson said: "From the very beginning, I knew that this day would come. I colluded with the empire and made a detailed plan for my own self-interest. All the mistakes were made by me. Treat me as your enemy, teacher. , so that you will defeat Cologne without any scruples, and then come to take my life."

"And Opal will assist you at the critical moment. This is the last battle. Opal's belief is now the strongest among us, persistent and pure." Legison narrowed his eyes and said: "Teacher, believe in your belief. I feel that the influence on the mercenary king is getting weaker and weaker, and Cologne's faith is about to die."

"Teacher, you go to rescue Opal, you have a reason to win, otherwise Opal will die, and Cologne doesn't even have the confidence to stop you, he is questioning himself strongly, constantly overthrowing himself, he is questioning Everything in this universe, he fell into pain and confusion, under the influence of this pain, one is weak and the other is strong, this time, you will defeat him without any suspense."

At the same time, Tao jumped again and returned to the outside of Iszur, where the stars in the distance were emitting a fiery orange light.

Opal hugged the skeleton of the robot picked up from the No. 2 experimental site, like holding a toy that was much bigger than him, quietly curled up in the corner, looking at the head of the replica robot.

It's not as scary as a human skeleton. Its head is smooth, and its electronic eyes are drooping, revealing the messy fiber optic lines inside.

Opal wanted to disassemble it for research, but he was afraid of damaging the only souvenir, and the atomic furnace in the heart also rolled away with its decay, and the place where the brain was originally placed in the head was left in tatters floc and a chip.

Corolin sat on the control chair, quietly watching the warm Iszur in the distance.

Opal knew that he had too many things to think about, but he didn't care about it. After all, all of this had nothing to do with him. In the past few days, Opal's mentality was close to a kind of peaceful numbness.

He no longer thinks about how to revive Raymond. It stands to reason that he should now find a way to find Kyle Lei, obtain his technology, and then try to find a way to copy a new Coronne... and so on.But Rector refused to let him, telling him that if he did this, he would follow the old path of Corolin, that when a person dies, he dies, even if there is hope, it should not be like this.

Opal suddenly felt it was ridiculous. He left B-11 and changed his destiny. He no longer had to be a slave working for a mining company day after day, and his current life was even worse than that of a slave.

"Aren't you going to find Kyle Lei?" Opal asked.

"It was too late. After Azeroth went to the cage for the last time, Jimison took the opportunity to let Kyle Lei go." Corollin's voice was low and dangerous.

Opal: "When did it happen? Didn't the spaceship say he was still locked up last time?"

Corollin: "You asked me to ask Jimison for verification. I always felt something was wrong, but I accidentally read this crucial news from his consciousness. Jimison wanted a mecha. In exchange, he Offer Kyle Lei a human body, but Kyle Lei obviously has no intention of keeping his word."

Opal: "What is your relationship with him?"

Corollin said: "As a friend, he appreciates me and also likes Azeroth, but Azeroth has repeatedly expressed disagreement with his ideas, so I left Lie Xing, but I didn't expect Azeroth to To betray him, to imprison him, and not to kill him, in order to gain knowledge from his mind, or rather, to torture him about what he believed Kairleigh was hiding."

Opal said: "Why don't you directly expose Azeroth's conspiracy?"

Corolin: "You're too young to understand, Opal."

Opal said, "Actually, you did something wrong, right?"

Cologne interrupted Opal and said: "It's useless, Opal, I tell you clearly that this method will not work. Do you think that your enemies will kneel down and repent if you ask righteous questions? No, everyone They are all doing what they think is right. Even if Azeroth has a taint, it is at best an innocuous small mistake, and Kyle Lei is not without taint. crimes, and then pull a few crying witnesses to show up and tell a few stories, and you will agree that the king is doing the right thing. As a lord of an independent regime, no one can judge Azeroth, saying After all, this is just an internal affair. He has a legitimate reason to accuse the Empire and the Republic of interfering in the internal affairs of the Star."

"The veterans who followed Kyle Lei back then are dead. The mercenaries after the Black Iron Age don't know the identity and status of the former king. The only person they are loyal to is Azeroth. If Kyle Lei is released in advance, The entire Lie Xing will be massacred and cleaned. Can you imagine the result of the split? That is what happened to the female Luo Xing before joining the Dark Alliance. The Republic and the Empire stepped in separately, supporting one of the forces, and waiting for the benefits to come. .”

"What are you going to do with Kelleigh?" Opal asked.

"This has nothing to do with you anymore." Cologne's face was terribly cold.

Opal read his mind and knew that Cororin still had doubts about it—he didn't think Kairley was that capable.

Opal is a bit strange, Kyle Lei is a replicant, has no one in Lie Xing discovered it in the past few thousand years?

Corollin said: "I can only say that he is the least replicant individual among the replicants, Opal. As long as the producer is willing to replicate life, he can completely fake it. Even his remaining brain is destroyed. Imprisoned, I didn't find traces of chips and artificial intelligence on it...but how did Azeroth know?"

Opal said: "I guess Azeroth may not know either."

Cologne murmured, "I believe Azeroth just hit the right thing."

Opal was a little confused, and said, "Don't you think Kyle Ray made Raymond?"

Corolin said: "He may have had this idea, but I think his time is not right, and the No. 2 test site is not the same as what we have seen before. The ivory tower must have discovered some problems, but he did not say anything. ..."

The two fell into silence again, and Opal suddenly thought of a very terrible thing.

Corolin said: "Opal, you are very smart, but Azeroth is dead, it doesn't matter what he is."

Opal said: "You're not very smart either. If Kyle Lei asked you to kill Azeroth, you just went. You didn't even know he was a clone."

Cologne said coldly: "Kairleh didn't exist as a humanoid life form from the very beginning, who would doubt a person who has sat on the throne for thousands of years? Who would doubt his comrade-in-arms who was born and died with him? Opal, after the end of the dark age, many people have the same idea as you, human beings live under jealousy and strife, and this group almost perished because of themselves."

"Do you think..." Opal murmured: "Those replicants that are exactly like humans, I mean they can't find chips, and don't have alloy bones, use human genes, can cry and laugh... these guys, they can count Human?"

Corolin said in a deep voice, "Who knows? We have to ask our teacher."

Opal hummed. He was just asking casually. Corolin's answer seemed to contain a trace of resentment, almost plain anger. A gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.

Opal tried his best to plug the robot's electronic eye back, fixed it, and said, "Hey, I have a question for you."

"What's the matter?" Cologne asked impatiently.

Opal asked: "Is the plan agreed before still the same?"

Corolin turned his head and took a look. Opal was holding the half of the broken robot body, with a strange look in his eyes. Corolin was startled briefly, and then remembered that Opal was talking about his punishment one thing.

Corinne said, "Do you regret it?"

Opal said: "No, I have a request, can you let me take this into the coffin?"

He raised the robot's metal hand and waved to Cororin as if to greet him.

Corollin: "..."

Opal began to peel off the remaining piece of skin on the robot's head in front of Cologne again, and Cologne said coldly: "You'd better keep quiet, otherwise I won't be able to redeem you again."

"I don't care about your redemption." Opal retorted.

Cologne narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you sure?"

Opal gave Corolin a middle finger and ignored him.

Tao landed in the Hanging Garden, Cologne came out, and Opal carried the robot and followed him into the hall. I don’t know when Cologne is going to send him and the corpse to Iszur. whatever.

Opal leaned the solitary robot against the wall. It had no lower body and could barely stand up in a sitting position. Opal took its hand and leaned against its arms, allowing it to hug itself.

Corolin stopped in the hall, staring at the necklace all the time, without saying a word, almost terribly silent.

Opal: "Can you read the memory information about Raymond?"

Corollin: "Yes, this is based on the consciousness wave technology of the phantom star, but I don't plan to do it."

Opal: "Oh, but I suggest you read the memories in it, so you will know what your beliefs have destroyed. I don't know where your beliefs come from. Maybe you want to build a new one. Yes, a very beautiful world, but the price you paid, when you see it with your own eyes, you will definitely feel ashamed."

Corolin glanced at Opal and found that he was talking to himself while peeling the dry skin off the fingers of the robot corpse. For some reason, this scene instantly broke through his patience.

Corinne said: "Put it away! Don't touch this corpse in front of me again!"

Opal: "What's wrong?"

Corolin yelled at him as if he lost control of his emotions: "Right now!"

The power of his faith surged towards Opal, intending to throw the robot corpse out of the palace. Opal's pupils contracted violently in an instant, and at that critical moment, he released his faith, grabbed the sword and shouted, and Cologne quickly backed away , The field of stars completely suppressed the lava-like spiritual field in a second!

Opal slashed horizontally with his sword, and then slashed straight. It was too late, but then it was too late, but Cologne moved sideways, and the two separated again.

Opal's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and said: "Your belief has been shaken, and it has been weakened a lot. I think if the teacher comes now, you must no longer be his opponent."

Cologne suffocated, regained her usual calm, narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, Rector is enough to kill me, but even so, with my current strength, you are not at all My opponent, do you want to try?"

Opal withdrew his sword, raised his eyebrows provocatively, and said, "You can't kill me. If you kill me, you will break your promise, so your belief will be shaken again, and the fire of your soul is not much."

He sat back in the corner, protecting the robot corpse just like protecting his former lover. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Corolin, with a clear look in his eyes: don't touch my things.

Corolin calmed down quite a bit, with a sense of strangeness and alienation in his eyes, and said: "Everything is over, you are a dedicated soldier, stubborn and brave, like a stone, you are worthy of being taught by Rector and Lie Xing student, I believe that doing my best to deal with you is our respect for each other."

Opal nodded, he knew what Corolin meant.

He doesn't need to forgive, and doesn't want to beg for mercy. Seeking benevolence is the best result for him.

"Do you know why you can't win Lie Xing?" Opal said: "Because when you can't use death to make people submit, you have nothing to do, and you are still a loser after all."

Cologne said indifferently: "I have seen too many people like you. People who call themselves heroes always use the excuse of not being afraid of death to show their bravery. They are not even as good as ants in front of me. Alive, still moving, and able to attract my attention, and your replicant has not even a single atom left..."

"At least he's still alive in my heart. You'll never get it. To insult it is to insult yourself!"

Opal retorted, an indescribable emotion surged up in his heart, he wanted to fight Cologne with his hands, anger him, and let him kill himself.

However, Cologne's reaction was faster than his. It was only a moment of thought that black gold fragments surged from all directions, building a solid, fully enclosed cage, completely trapping him inside.

With a buzzing sound, the metal bulkhead in front of him turned into a transparent window.

"The Sea of ​​Time is activated." Tao's deep voice sounded.

In an instant, the liquid filled the cabin space, and the opal floated up in the sea of ​​time solution. He tried his best to hold the broken body of the robot corpse, and his short hair fluttered gently with his movements.

He watched Coronne outside through the bulkhead.

Corolin gave him a star knight salute, and said: "Goodbye, Opal, teacher, thank you for giving me those wonderful feelings of dependence and memories in these days. You really shook my faith, and Rector gave me Your responsibility, you have done a good job, I even doubt myself now, but unfortunately you don't have any more chances, I decided to go and slaughter Lie Xing today, as a sacrificial object for the replicant in your arms. "

The metal cabin rises slowly, leaves the atmosphere, and throws itself into the vast and icy universe.

Iszul erupted thousands of beams of light in the silence and darkness of space, illuminating this lonely galaxy.The metal cabin flew towards it slowly, Opal took the arm of the robot and kicked towards the perspective window.

There was a soft bang.

He turned his head to look at the glowing Iszur in the distance, and then looked down at the robot, imagining Raymond's dilapidated appearance after the Battle of Star Wars.

It kept getting closer, slowly getting bigger in his pupils.

However, in the other direction of the deep universe, silver-white stars flashed in the vast darkness.

Something was approaching at high speed, the light of his life's hope, and here he was at last.

Cologne stood on the edge of the platform of the Hanging Garden, clutching the necklace in his fist, and the pendant was hanging down, shaking slightly.He looked up at the sky, his eyebrows drawn into a knot.

After a long time, he made a decision. This decision caused countless blue light spots to float out of the necklace, revolving around his body like stars. The blue light flickered like a vast ocean. He closed his eyes, and the light sea of ​​memories around him instantly As soon as it was received, all of them suddenly fell into his body.

Corolin opened his eyes, his eyes were full of extremely complicated meanings. At that moment, his soul seemed to be forcibly occupied by another person, and then in the violent spiritual conflict, he took a precarious step and almost fell down. on the ground.

He put his hand on his forehead in pain and let out an uncontrollable roar.

"Ah—" Cologne's voice was hoarse and crazy.

The shout immediately alarmed the guard robot, and the information was transmitted. Half a minute later, Allen ran up to the Sky Garden, and all four generals arrived.

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty!"

Corolin sat on a bench by the fountain, stretched out a hand, and signaled everyone to back away.

All the scenes in front of him were far away, Opal's lips parted from him, and he touched his head with his hand. Lei Meng's throat was filled with the breath of scented tea and the cool comfort, and the memory of tears and the taste of the refreshing scented tea was still fresh.

"Your Majesty?!" Caesar frowned.

The black gold fragments dispersed in an instant, synthesized into a mecha, and carried Cororin out of the atmosphere. His belief was like a boundless sea of ​​flames, lighting up the dark universe.In the sea of ​​fire, there was a black spaceship floating and sinking. It was being pushed towards Iszur by the tidal Reel, and it was about to sink into the vast flames.
