The Star Knight

Rickett joined.

That day he went back to the Temple of the Stars to pack his things, and Opal finally saw all of Rector's belongings—a simple wooden bed placed in a small room remodeled by Era VI, a knight sword for practice and A wooden shield, a few changes of clothes, a small box of stones for training apprentices, and a pair of wooden shoes.

All property of 280 million credit points, credit evaluation is the source of floodlight.

A bracelet given to him by Opal, which he always wears on his hand, and a silver bracelet in a small box-Dragon Ray.

Others don't know what Rector's joining means, but Opal is very clear.

First of all, King's Wharf has a Patronus again 300 years after Horius' death. Although most adventurers don't know that Star Knight has joined the Great Astronautics Association, Rector will definitely not sit idly by. all dangers.

Secondly, the addition of Recter made Opal believe that he can do almost everything in the universe.Rector's existence is unmatched by anyone. He symbolizes confidence and strength. It is a spontaneous belief in Opal's strong belief in his youth. The experience when he was still on the mine star left him with deep-rooted Impressions - Rector never loses.

Even though he later met the stronger Corolin and defeated Recter more than once, Opal still chose to ignore the few battles in which Recter was at a disadvantage, and always It is the persistent belief that Rector is stronger than Corolin.

On the contrary, his confidence in Corolin is not as unreserved as he is in Rector.He began to understand why Corolin had regarded Rector as his belief for a while, and he did the same when it was Opal's turn, worshiping Rector without reservation.The source of this belief is also manifested in Raymond, so based on this, they decided to name the Freshman Brigade——

——Rector Adventure Brigade.

Rector: "..."

"The teacher is our soul." Raymond said.

"Yeah." Opal said, "A totem."

Rector said: "Opal, Raymond, this is not a joke. If you report this name, the teacher will have to leave the group immediately."

"What's so embarrassing!" Raymond said angrily.

Opal said: "Exactly!"

Rector said angrily: "Absolutely not!"

Opal said: "Then...the Star Knight Adventure Brigade?"

Rector: "..."

Raymond said, "That's a good name. We have two Star Knights."

Rector: "Forgive me... What was the name of your former mercenary group? Can't you change it to something normal?"

Opal: "Our previous name..."

Raymond: "Let's not talk about it."

Rector said: "Strictly speaking, Opal and I are not Star Knights anymore. Of course, although you, Raymond, have inherited some of Cororin's characteristics, you cannot be completely called Star Knights."

Opal did not expect Rector to explain this question in a serious manner. He was startled for a while, and then said: "Why? Is it because there are no ancient gods?"

Rake nodded and got up to buy drinks.

Opal said: "But you said that Horius almost never uses a saber-toothed tiger. He is also a star knight."

Rector paused, and said after a long time: "You are right, Opal, I am too stubborn."

Raymond said, "So that's the name?"

Opal said: "The Star Knights Adventure Brigade is full of arrogance and deterrence at first glance! Say this name, and our enemies will definitely surrender without a fight!"

Rector: "Okay, okay... Stop, this name is good, my original intention is to commemorate Horius. After all, he is the human being I admire the most."

Lei Meng happily went to declare for the brigade, while Opal sat on the sofa with Rector shoulder to shoulder. The more he looked at Rector, the happier he was, and he couldn't help but elbow him.

Rector took a sip of coffee and joked, "You'd better restrain yourself, I don't want to be regarded as a rival in love by Raymond."

Opal said: "He won't, don't worry. Teacher, you are actually Horius' guide, I think you seem to have a high opinion of him."

Rector said thoughtfully, "Because he's already dead."

Opal read Rector's mood at this time, the mood was very complicated, involving the evaluation of a person, even Rector himself could not say clearly, but Opal only invaded his spiritual world for a few seconds , Rector closed his thoughts, and tapped Opal's forehead, meaning don't be too presumptuous.

Opal laughed.

Raymond received the team medal and said: "We are the sixth batch to apply for the brigade system, and many people are still waiting and watching."

"It's normal." Rector took the adventurer manuals of the three, and checked them one by one in the lounge. Opal and Rector are both apprentice adventurers, and Raymond is already an official, and he is the team leader. .

Rector pinned a medal on his chest and said, "What to do next is up to the commander."

Lei Meng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now we have to find out the news separately. Let's spend money to find channels. We shared the commission of Opal. I feel that there are a series of complicated things behind it."

Rector nodded slowly, staring at Opal's shared entrustment, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this entrustment is related to many things, and this matter has gradually surfaced. Natasha also entrusted me Investigate about the pirates."

"First of all, both Alex and Baroque are candidates for the heir of the empire in the near future. Secondly, Marshal Rotman and Queen Innie both support Alex, while Baroque is alone and alone, with only a few dukes on the throne. Supporting him seems to have no chance of winning."

Lei Meng said: "It seems that there is no chance of winning, but I'm afraid it may not be."

Rector nodded slowly, and Opal said: "The Pope supports him behind his back, like Uncle Justin and the pastor, I guess they are here to connect with Baroque."

Rector said: "Based on what I know about him, Baroque is not what he appears on the surface."

Raymond twitched his eyebrows, and asked, "Is he pretending to be careless like Opal?"

Opal: "Hi!"

Raymond smiled and signaled to forget it, Rector said with a smile: "Baroque is actually a very stable person, as can be seen from his playing atomic billiards, although he does not stick to small details... No, he just intentionally Create an image of informality. I believe that if he is the heir apparent, he may do well."

"But we haven't contacted Alex." Opal said, "Maybe he can do better than Baroque?"

Rector praised: "You are right, I rarely pay attention to the empire, so I think we may find an opportunity to chat with Alex face-to-face, and the next task will be based on this."

Raymond said: "Colorin also gave me another commission, which is to find the wheel of time and the father of Opal."

Opal said: "I'll do it by myself first, and we'll meet and sort it out after I get the information."

The news of the Great Astronautics Association was in charge, and the three went to the Lion Galaxy Hall, the Unknown Field Office, and the Surrounding Galaxy Hall separately.Opal has opened a VIP search service in this hall, and the service fee is [-] credits. This authority is valid within one year, and he can retrieve the information he wants at any time. In the past, there were no conditions at all, but now there are It's several million, and it's obviously a good deal to spend [-] to buy the right to retrieve news.

Keywords: the wheel of time.

On the information list is a long list of dense historical events, which can only be seen in the association, and copying is not allowed. Most of them are the mission of the wheel of time, the departure events, and the contents of the return.

In the past 2 years, this interstellar exploration ship known as the future of mankind has set off three times and returned twice.The first time was in 3401 of the Era of Light. The wheel of time gathered all the science and technology of the entire interstellar community, and moved towards the unknown area outside the limit horizon.

This exploration ship is not as big as Opal imagined. It is only 36 kilometers long and can accommodate [-] small battleships. The battleship is provided by the Lion Star Autonomous Prefecture and adopts the latest model of the Lion Star Guard at that time: Era IV .

The mothership can accommodate 400 people and is decorated with simulated environment technology, like an independent small planet, to avoid mental problems during long-term voyages.

ACU Biogenetics provided dormant shift technology, as well as dispatched 120 employees and [-] medical robots...

Opal was dazzled, and it took nearly an afternoon to finish reading the message from the Wheel of Time in the past, and when it returned for the first time, it brought back the race of Phantom Starmen.

The United Science Association was full of curiosity about this unknown race. However, under the circumstances at the time, a conflict broke out between the Holy See of the Stars and the United Science Association. The captain of the Wheel of Time I resigned after the meeting and converted to the Holy See of the Stars.

The Phantom Stars successfully established their homeland with the help of the Pope, and refused to deal with the United Science Society.

Why is that?

Opal searched for the second-level classification, and inside was a statement by the lord of the phantom star: We need technical help. After successfully teleporting to a distant star, we will settle down in this universe.Human beings judge the existence or non-existence by whether they have four-dimensional continuity, but we are not.

Opal frowned and looked down. These are precious materials that can only be read by the Great Astronautics Association. One hundred thousand credits are really worth it.

In 3790 of the Era of Light, the Wheel of Time II set off again, but the Union of Scientific Research split, and some scientists drove the old Wheel of Time to leave the Milky Way.

The following is the profile of an adventurer: The list of scholars who left the scientific research organization is as follows: (a long list of names)

Opal barely watched at first, but then he became more and more irritable, almost nauseated, and impatiently pulled the progress bar to the end, and found something—these scholars were all the participants who had listened to the captain's report.

What does this mean?Opal was a little confused, because what news did the captain bring back, so they left together?What Content Divides Research Organizations?

The captain died nearly 100 years later.

And where did these scientists go? !

The Wheel of Time II set out and returned for the second time just after the end of the Dark Ages. At that time, more than 90% of the planets in the universe were in ruins. According to the black box on the Wheel of Time, science and technology once again prevailed in all civilizations. spread.This time, the exploration ship did not bring back anything worth looking forward to. The interstellar community and the scientific joint organization collapsed, and even great chaos occurred in the Holy See of the Stars.

The third exploration of the Wheel of Time did not receive official support. Volunteers used the resources and technical personnel at hand to form a new expedition team.

Opal inspected the list of personnel for the third departure, and the position of captain was "vacant".

And he turned down again, and finally saw the name——Logan.

Logan: He graduated from the Missionary School of the Kingdom of Light Arc. He liked to explore since he was a child. He excelled in many subjects during school and was rated as an outstanding graduate. He was born in the province of monks and soldiers.

Opal: "..."

Adventurer's comment: When Logan was young, he liked to read the materials of the Holy See of the Stars. Before the Dark Ages, he set out with the Wheel of Time II. After returning, he organized his own expedition team, went through hardships to obtain funding from the Holy See, and finally set off again.

Logan is a big boy who is full of curiosity about the universe, and he is approved to enter the Holy See, the Prophet's library.

His father was from the Sang Bing province?A feeling of "this world is too unreal" welled up in Opal's heart, that is to say, he has at least half of the blood of the Seng Bing Province? !

But he didn't think he looked like him either. Opal searched for Logan again, and found that his grandfather and others were still a big family back then. Logan was the youngest son in this family, and Logan's mother was a female star. ... Opal has a quarter of the Sang Bing Province lineage.

Of course, this family has completely perished because of the relationship between the cloners.With the large and small wars that broke out in the smart revolution, countless cities and families were destroyed by the flames of war.

Opal stared blankly at the information, and behind him Lei Meng whispered in his ear: "What did you find?"

Opal sighed, and said, "We found a lot, but my grandparents and maternal grandparents are all dead."

Lei Meng watched the long list quietly, and there was a line of remarks after each name: Died in the Wisdom Revolution.

Opal once didn't understand the horror of duplicants, but when he faced all this, he had to admit that Recter was right, that all forces in the universe regarded duplicants as a scourge, and it was not an exaggeration.

Raymond said, "I'm sorry, Opal."

Opal said: "Don't be stupid, it has nothing to do with you."

Lei Meng put his arms around Opal's waist from behind and snuggled up on his shoulders, and the two looked at the history of the past.Opal said: "What about you? Have you found anything?"

Raymond said: "Yes, it's very important. Go back and discuss it with the teacher first."

Opal turned off the search, and had a round with Rector in the central teahouse. Rector saw that Opal looked a little wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lei Meng said with a smile: "Opal is a monk and soldier."

Opal forced a smile, and Rector nodded and said, "When I first saw him, I thought he was very handsome. He had the temperament of a handsome man, but he didn't have their shortcomings. Where is your mother from?"

Opal said: "I don't know her name, maybe it belongs to Sphinx, because I used to be a little dark."

The three began to exchange information, and Rector said: "The information I got is about the reappearance of the pirate king Sauron. Five years ago, he intended to win over Cororin to join forces, but Cororin did not accept it, and his comeback has nothing to do with It is related to a certain force in the empire. This force needs to use him to balance the political interests of multiple surrounding planets and ensure that when some things happen, it will not have too much impact on the empire. It's the Reichsmarshal, Rotman."

Opal: "!!!"

Raymond was also a little dazed. He exchanged a glance with Opal, then remained silent for a long time, and said, "Yes, there is a possibility that Sauron appeared on the White Falcon Star, which means that he has a deal with the Empire."

Opal said: "I still think of one thing, it's about the shepherd..."

Opal told Rector and Raymond what the shepherd said to him, and added: "The pope also knew about this, and he sent the shepherd to go to the star of the white falcon just to warn Sauron not to participate in some random activities." Trouble, and also said that Sauron knew the whereabouts of a person, but he didn't tell me who this person was."

Rector said: "Then this matter is understandable. The Pope must be paying attention to the progress of this matter... Maybe he really supports Baroque's side."

Rector looked at Raymond questioningly, and Opal said, "My father's origin also has a lot to do with the Holy See."

Rector corrected: "It's not related to the Holy See, but related to the Pope."

Opal said: "No, no, the original Pope is dead, at least he has changed several times. Back then, my father stayed in the Prophet's library for a while, there must be books he read and wrote. Record……"

Rector said: "No, Opal, let me tell you one thing now, the Pope is truly immortal."

Opal: "..."

Raymond seemed to have known about this and was not surprised at all.

Rector said: "Everyone will die, but the Pope doesn't seem to be. It can be said that Drummond has always been the same person from the day he became the first Pope. It is only his body that dies. It is said that his soul , can be transmitted in the shells of different fetuses, the human body is just a container for him, so I think he should keep the memories of tens of thousands of years."

Opal said: "I have to meet him, he must know something."

Rector seems to be caught in a dilemma.

"To be honest, Opal." Raymond said: "We have already discussed this issue just now. After the teacher had a conflict with the Pope last time, it is not suitable for me to meet him, and I..."

Opal recalled the battle between Rector and Ledgerson against Cororin five years ago. Pope Drummond seemed to be on the side of Cororin. Lin, played tricks on them once.

Perhaps this could be attributed to the contradictory statements between the pope and Ledgerson, and at such a time, it was not suitable for Recter to meet him hastily.Raymond is also not suitable, after all, his identity is too sensitive.

When Rector raised his eyes, he met Opal's eyes, and both sides understood.

"I can only go." Opal said: "He asked Mr. Corolin to exchange disciples a long time ago."

Raymond said: "But you don't have Corolin's instruction."

Opal said: "He asked us to investigate the wheel of time, right? Now the clue we got is to go to the Holy See, so this does not violate his original intention."

"I only dealt with Drummond once, back in the dark ages, when he was a very young kid, around ten years old," Rickett said.

Opal said, "What did he tell you?"

Rector said: "Nolan was there at the time, and I was only Nolan's deputy, and I was not qualified to speak to him. He and Nolan communicated through consciousness, so... I don't know what they said."

Opal did not expect that Drummond's qualifications were higher than Rector's, and he asked again: "Where did the Pope learn the method of immortality?"

Rector shook his head slowly, and said: "This is also a secret. Only few people know that the Holy See announced that the way they select the Pope is through the guidance of the stars, and this guidance is never announced, but as long as the archbishops obey Him, the whole church will function under his spiritual guidance."

Raymond said: "In other words, the Pope himself does not have much real power."

It was a bit difficult for Recter to speak, he thought for a long time, and finally said: "This is something beyond my knowledge, I think it's better for me to meet him."

Opal said: "No, I don't think it's appropriate for you to go. After all, it's about my father. I have to go by myself. Let me go, teacher."

Raymond said: "Or according to what we agreed, teacher, you go to investigate the seventeen planetary provinces where Alex is located, and track down Sauron's whereabouts. I will act as Opal's guard and go to the Holy See of the Stars."

Opal said: "Can you show your face in front of the Pope?"

Raymond said: "After all, no one in the Holy See has seen Coron."

Opal said: "Yes, there is a man named Ramos, he met Corolin."

Raymond: "I just checked the information. Ramos is now staying in the Grip of Light. As the foreign minister of both sides, he is preaching to the residents of Iszur. The pastor has also gone to the Grip of Light. over there."

Opal licked his lips, and Rector said: "Going to contact Pope Drummond as a disciple of Corolin can indeed get more information, but I know almost nothing about him, Opal, this You still have to be careful."

Raymond said: "Well, according to what I said before, I will send you a communication if there is a situation."

Rector said: "Let me think again..."

At this moment, Rector's communication rang.

He opened the communication in front of Opal and Raymond, projected a figure, and said to him: "Recter, you don't have to go back to the club for now."

Rector said: "What's wrong? I'm thinking of taking a long vacation."

The person in charge said: "Next year's friendly match has been postponed indefinitely."

Rector said: "Old friend, don't you have anything else to say?"

The person in charge was silent for a moment, and then said: "You should pay attention to the recent news. Mr. Kashtelan is afraid that the empire may use the old method of the Golden Road to create some troubles."

Rector's expression became serious in an instant.

The person in charge said: "When will the competition be held? We will notify you at that time."

The communication was shut down, Opal said: "What do you mean by the old method of the Golden Road?"

Rector said: "Instigating a war, I guess they will probably blame the kidnapping of the mercenaries on the Republic. It's strange. It's obviously not suitable for war at this time. What exactly do you want to do? We can't delay any longer, I have to Immediately go to the sub-star system."

Raymond said, "Let's go to the Holy See."

After much deliberation, Rector took out a silver bracelet and handed it to Raymond.

"When there is an emergency, you can use it completely, Raymond, and Dragon Ray will protect you." Rector said.

Opal roared sadly: "Why don't you give it to me—! I want to use Dragon Ray too!"
