The Star Knight

Opal knew that no matter whether the shepherd really didn't know or didn't want to say it, he couldn't get the answer he wanted. The shepherd licked his lips, glanced sideways at Justin, and suddenly said: "Uncle, go out and buy us two Berry milk balls, go."

With a gentle smile on the corner of Justin's mouth, he went out to buy some snacks for them. Opal glanced at Justin's leaving back, thinking that as the eldest son of the Rotman family, he seemed to be doing well in the empire.

He also knew that the pastor must have something to say to him.

Pastor: "You know Coron, am I right?"

Opal: "!!!"

Opal could only nod and said, "Yes."

The pastor asked: "You can read minds, can't you? I guess you must be able to read minds. Could it be that you are Corolin's apprentice?"

Opal said: "I did follow him for a while, and the inside story is quite complicated. If you go to his side, I think you will know about me."

The shepherd was startled at first, and then laughed. Opal said, "What do you want to ask, just ask. I also have a question to ask you."

The shepherd nodded, and looked sideways at the floor-to-ceiling windows. Justin was waiting for snacks at the stall on the opposite street. The shepherd said, "Follow Corinne, can you learn to read minds?"

Opal thought for a while, then asked back: "Do you want to learn this?"

The shepherd smiled ambiguously and said, "I want to know what uncle is thinking."

Opal said: "That's very boring, I never read my lover's mind now."

"You still have a lover!" the shepherd said in surprise.

Opal said: "Yes."

The pastor asked: "Can you teach me to read minds? I can learn from you, so that I don't have to go to the grip of the light. I don't want to leave the teacher."

Opal had a bit of a headache, and he found it difficult to explain this to the pastor, as if he was just a simple child who was born and grew up in the Holy See.

"You go." Opal said: "The ability to read minds requires the power of faith." He gestured and said, "That's a skill passed down from the Phantom Stars. You don't have the power of faith, only the teachers... ...Only Star Knight can ignite the fire of faith for you, I can't teach you."

The shepherd nodded thoughtfully, and Opal said, "It's me."

"The teacher also said this thing that defies the sky..." The shepherd raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to say?"

Opal said: "You just said that you have two tasks, and what is the other task?"

The pastor thought for a while and said, "You have to keep it a secret."

Opal said: "Of course."

The pastor said: "Observe the situation, and at the right time, promote the uncle to the position, so that he can gain the right to speak and take the initiative. Let him become one...one...Of course, this is me. Guess, the actual situation is just to let me meet with the uncle, talk about his future development, and promise that when he wants to do something, the Holy See will help him."

Opal was full of surprise and said, "Then the Pope supports Baroque?"

The pastor said, "Maybe, I don't know, and no one knows what the teacher is thinking."

Opal said: "I don't believe that other people don't know, but how can you not know?"

The pastor said: "If you meet my teacher, you will understand, but based on my understanding of him, I think Baroque is more suitable for him."

Opal asked: "Does the Pope hate Legerson?"

The pastor's eyes were full of surprise, and Opal immediately knew that the question was correct, and there was indeed an open dispute in the Holy See!

The shepherd said: "It's okay, he sometimes hates and sometimes likes everyone, except for me."

Opal said: "He and Legerson are at odds."

The pastor thought for a while and said: "He doesn't like Alex because Alex and Legerson are too close. Alex calls Legerson a 'teacher'. If he comes to the throne, he must Only listen to Legerson."

Opal nodded, and he said, "If my guess is correct, you must go to Cologne's side."

He vaguely had some kind of ominous premonition. If the conflict between Legison and the Pope had reached the point where even the priest could see it, then it was very likely that there would be a change in the Holy See in the near future. During the period, it may also involve the struggle for power within the Holy See, and the possible intervention by the Emperor Kartes...

If there are accidents such as seizure of power and murder, the situation is likely to be beyond the reach of the pastor, then everything makes sense-when the disciples of Corolin did not arrive at the Holy See, Pope Drummond was willing to take the initiative to send the pastor to the Holy See. The latter was sent to Cologne, which meant that the Pope wanted to protect his disciples through the power of Cologne.

So Corolin's reaction at that time was all clear!

Drummond needed to exchange the shepherd for a real assistant. He asked Corolin for an apprentice with certain strength, but Corolin refused him on the grounds that Opal was too young to participate in this kind of struggle.

That's why Corolin once thought of wanting them to assassinate the emperor or Queen Innie!

As long as the emperor is dead, the Holy See can easily win a complete victory, designate the emperor's new successor, and gradually eradicate the Rotman family, so everything will be solved easily!

Opal couldn't help being startled. He used to stay with Corolin and didn't realize it. Once he came to the outside world, through countless connections, he discovered that his backhands and arrangements turned out to be a set of loops. wearing a ring.

The pastor said, "Why?"

Opal said: "Your teacher may want to deal with Legerson, or someone else...that's my guess."

The shepherd said: "It's easy for him to deal with Legerson. I guess Rotman makes him more afraid, otherwise he won't let me come to find uncle... The Rotman family is very difficult to break into, they are their own. And I don't believe in the Star Sect, except for the uncle's dead mother..."

Opal said in a low voice: "Leggason can also read minds, your teacher has always known. As long as he is willing, the Holy See has no secrets in his eyes..."

Shepherd: "!!!"

Just at this moment, Justin came back with some snacks, and the shepherd regained his composure in an instant. He was so oily that he pretended to be talking about another topic, and said, "If you are interested, you can try to understand our teachings. Not what you think."

Justin said, "Are you preaching again?"

Opal laughed and said, "There are quite a few followers of your religion among the adventurers."

The three of them stopped talking for a while, Opal and Shepherd were eating berry milk balls with different thoughts, and Justin was drinking coffee thoughtfully.

After a while, he said, "You two are very similar."

"Ah?" Shepherd and Opal said in unison.

Justin laughed, and both the Shepherd and Opal looked puzzled.

The atomic billiards match in the tavern entered into a feverish stage, and the three of them did not speak. Looking at the broadcast light screen, the old man's group was leading at present, and Opal saw it.

The broadcast commentator was introducing the old man, and he only said that he was Mr. William, who came from the nine-star Cato-like galaxy and represented the atomic billiards association of this galaxy.

"Look! I'm talking about him." The shepherd motioned Opal to look at the screen.

Opal saw the old man, his group surpassed Rector's group by 3000 million points.

"This is Mr. Bai from the Republic..."

"This man is my teacher." Opal said.

The shepherd and Justin nodded, and Justin said, "It's not bad, they are No.2 now."

"That's my... spouse." Opal said, "The one with the hat."

"It's pretty cool," said the shepherd.

Raymond was wearing a white falcon feather hat, which blocked the upper half of his face, and flashed past in front of the camera.

The pastor said, "I mean the mouth is very sexy, more handsome than uncle."

Opal couldn't laugh or cry, and complimented: "Uncle is also very handsome, er no, I mean Mr. Rotman..."

Justin said: "He often calls me ugly, I'm used to it, I don't mind if you call me uncle too."

The shepherd put Opal's shoulders on his shoulders, as if the two had become friends after a while, and said, "Hey, Opal, it's nice to be young, right? We can call everyone uncle..."

"If you call Coron like that." Opal whispered in his ear, "Maybe he will beat you up."

Shepherd: "..."

"I have to go." Opal said: "The game is almost over, and they will come out soon."

The shepherd said: "Let's go together, I don't have anything to do, by the way, meet friends who know you?"

"Shepherd," Justin said, "you'd better have enough."

The shepherd said: "It's okay, I will definitely fulfill my promise to accompany you at night..."

Justin: "You..."

Opal was very embarrassed, so he had to pretend not to hear. Anyway, with Rector here, he must be able to calm down. Maybe let him meet with the Pope's young apprentice and learn something.

A torrent of cheers resounded across the sky, the atomic pool game was over, some people got rich overnight, and some went bankrupt overnight, countless people shouted like crazy in the square with lottery tickets in their hands, Justin protected the Shepherd and Opal Through the crowd, Opal said: "This is a crazy gamble."

The shepherd said: "This is not an official cosmic contest, you have never seen a time when it is really crazy..."

"Ramon!" Opal yelled.

When Raymond turned around, Opal rushed up and jumped up, yelled at him, and hammered his head desperately.

Raymond smiled and said: "No.2! We have 500 million!"

Rector was still talking to people, the shepherd narrowed his eyes and saw the old man.

When the show was over, many people came to hug them in the square. One burst into tears and rushed up to hug Rector tightly and wanted to kiss him. He said loudly, "You just helped me win [-] million credits! [-] million!"

Recter was full of black lines trying to push people away, and the order-maintaining robot began to expel the rioting crowd.

"Then, that's it." Rector politely took off the white falcon feather hat, pressed it on his chest and bowed: "I look forward to competing with you again."

The old man raised his cylinder hat and said in a low voice, "Young man—see you again."

The people in the square gradually dispersed, and entered the streets and alleys to participate in the carnival waiting for the dawn. Recter managed to escape, and his hat was ripped off by someone. He walked over and let out a sigh of relief.

Opal said: "Introduce my new friend. This is Justin..."

Justin winked at Opal, and spoke first: "Justin Elliott."

The pastor said: "Tuocheng V. Grabini."

Raymond looked at Justin and the Shepherd from under the brim of the feather hat. Opal touched him with his elbow, and Raymond took off his hat and said with a smile, "Hello."

Rick nodded.

Opal said again: "This is my teacher Rector, and my old...old..."

Raymond said, "Husband."

Opal said: "Yes, you heard how he called me, so he is my wife."

The shepherd burst into an extremely impolite laugh, and Lei Meng said: "You know, some people always like to grab the initiative to address them, but in fact they are often losers."

Justin smiled and said, "I understand very well."

Opal said angrily: 'Hey! "

Lei Meng couldn't help but hugged Opal horizontally, and said, "Teacher, how about going to have some supper?"

Rector was still thinking, nodded, and the five left along the other side of the square.

Behind the square is a large night market street, and the lights are very brightly lit. The shepherd asked Rector some words about the old man, and Rector answered them one by one.

Opal and Lei Meng were buying food at a small stall, and he asked, "Is there anything unusual about the old man?"

Lei Meng said: "I don't know, the teacher seems to be a little afraid of him."

Opal said: "I don't think he can live longer than the teacher. If there is such a person, who would he be? Even the Pope is wary of him."

Raymond asked, "Could it be Kyle Lei?"

Opal shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. If I were Kyle Ray, I would definitely show up in public as little as possible."

The shepherd behind them said: "I just bet 100 million on him hehehe..."

"It proves you have a good eye," Rickett said. He got a call saying, "I have to go back to the club, I have some things to deal with, you guys have fun."

Raymond said, "Teacher, take this."

Rector smiled and said, "This is what young people eat." However, he still took the snacks that Raymond bought, took a bite, waved goodbye to them and left.

Justin asked, "Is he from the Republic?"

"Yes, he knows Kashtelan." Raymond said, he took a fruit roll and shared one with each of them.

Opal: "Who is that?"

Raymond said: "Ambassador of the Republic."

They walked towards the place where there were few people in the night market, and they finished eating the opal after walking a few steps, and went back to buy three more.

Raymond: "..."

Opal: "This thing tastes so good, but one costs eighty... I've always wanted to try it..."

Raymond whispered in his ear: "Pay attention to political influence, don't smear adventurers everywhere."

"I also like to eat." The shepherd said to Opal: "The teacher never let me eat outside food..."

Justin said: "You two are really enough."

After hearing what Opal said about their acquaintance, Lei Meng asked, "You guys just came here today?"

The shepherd said: "Well, originally I brought a few guards from the monk and soldier province, but the uncle thought they were in the way, so he sent them all away..."

Justin said: "I also attended the banquet at the White Flower Manor yesterday, and Grebini just arrived today. I think you should be the one who played the king yesterday."

Raymond laughed: "Yes, there is another temporary partner of mine, a black and white clown... Opal? I thought you would come out to play with him after you finished."

Opal's mouth was covered with cream, and he said, "He left early."

Raymond said: "The reward hasn't been settled yet?"

"Who knows?" Opal said.

While he was speaking, something seemed to have changed in the surrounding environment, and a dozen or so guard robots surrounded him.

"It's there!"

"It's them!"

Infrared scanning locates the outline of a human figure, and Opal immediately realizes something is wrong. Raymond asked, "What's going on?"

In an instant, the robots rushed in, and the shepherd slapped the fruit rolls on the end of the robot closest to them, and said, "Run!"

Justin said, "What are you doing!"

Lei Meng and Opal were puzzled, and started to run with the Shepherd, and more and more robots were chasing behind them, overwhelmingly chasing after them, Opal said: "What trouble did you cause!"

The pastor said, "I don't know!"

Justin said: "Don't run away! Find out what happened first!"

The pastor said: "I can't reveal my identity in front of the imperial officials, it will bring you trouble..."

Opal ran and complained, and the flying robot behind him caught up. Raymond shouted: "Be careful!"

The shepherd chooses places with many people to run, and Opal and Raymond are involved before they know what happened. The escape is getting more and more chaotic. Opal is thinking about how to escape, but there is no way to escape!On someone else's planet, how could I escape from a heavily guarded site like the Star of the White Falcon? !

Raymond said: "There is no way to escape! Unless you go to the apron!"

"It will be shot down!" Opal shouted.

He used the power of faith to fight back, and a window counter flew out of the street with a buzzing sound, smashing the security robot into the air.

"Wow, what kind of skill is this!" The shepherd was stunned.

Opal said: "What exactly are you trying to achieve! Come up with your plan... Shepherd!"

They hid in the lobby of a closed department store, four small land mechs broke through the windows, and with a bang, shattered glass flew everywhere, and eight ground laser cannons aimed at the four people standing in the middle of the encirclement.

"Put down your weapons immediately, don't resist." The red light of the mecha flashed.

They didn't have any weapons at all. Opal looked at it and had to throw the fruit egg roll in his hand on the ground.

"Adventurer Raymond, you have violated Article 20 of the Imperial Law No. [-], and you are now arrested for endangering national security. Your three companions have violated the Social Security Law and will be fined or detained. Please do not resist, otherwise Do so at your own peril."

Raymond?Opal is inexplicable.

Raymond's expression was also very blank, and he asked, "I didn't do anything, what's going on?"

The shepherd breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought they were looking for trouble for me, so it was a false alarm."

Opal frowned and said, "You're a false alarm!"

"Don't be impulsive." Justin said: "Leave everything to me, and I will solve it."
