The Star Knight

Opal thought of the seer on the Crimson Star, and she seemed to do the same.

"Your thoughts are not in your head?" Opal asked suspiciously, "Where is that?"

Grebini said: "In our world, there is something called an extra dimension, which is curled up, like a very small gap in the world that you can't see..."

Opal suddenly understood the meaning of Grabini's words—he meant: Legerson can't read my heart.

There was a sly gleam in Grebini's eyes, and Opal sat down at the table with a cup of coffee and said, "I already have the answers to three questions."

There was a knock on the door, and a polite archbishop wearing glasses came in, carrying a tea tray and a bowl of medicine.

"Leggason's singing voice is very nice." After finishing this sentence, Grabini began to drink medicine.

Opal said: "Tifeng said that you invited him..."

Grebini choked when he heard the name, and sprayed the potion all over his body. Amid the sound of coughing, the archbishop hurriedly applied the potion to the pope.Opal did not expect that the name of Tifeng would provoke such a big reaction from the Pope. When he stepped forward to help, Grabini coughed and signaled that it was okay.

"His name is...cough, cough!" Grabini pointed to the archbishop and said, "Andis."

The archbishop nodded to Opal, and Grabini said again: "Andis, come over after today's class and take Opal to the Prophet's library."

Andis pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Opal said, "Can I look up the materials my father has read?"

Grebini replied: "Yes, I prepared it for you yesterday. Tell me about your understanding of the three questions yesterday. Talk about it."

Opal intertwined his fingers and pressed them against his nose. After a moment of silence, he answered that he had already thought about it this morning, but he always felt that the Pope asked these three questions, which seemed to have some special meaning.

Opal thought it over and over again, and then said: "The problem of the greenhouse, I think it is necessary."

Grabini asked, "The reason?"

Opal said: "Sooner or later, there will be a monkey who goes to explore the area outside the greenhouse. History forms a fixed track in the mutation, either this one or that one. This is a kind of necessity, a kind of... Among them is the law that governs the entire monkey population, just like Azeroth, like Kyle Lei, like the former Cultus... Forgive me, Your Majesty, I only know these few people."

"Well, but it was Igna's idea, and Coroline is said to have succeeded in his behest, but it didn't go so well. But that's not your answer, get another one," Grebini said.

Opal was a little surprised that Grabini would say that, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true that after a long silence, Opal spoke again.

"The monkeys don't know what's outside the greenhouse, they only have a small world in which they live, which to them is like... what I think is beautiful in my heart, it is suitable and satisfying, as long as it is settled in The status quo, and identification with the status quo, is who you are.”

"Living in this world forever is everything for monkeys. Even if they don't have any contact with the world outside the greenhouse from life to death, as long as they live happily, everything doesn't matter." Opal said with a smile: "What do you think? What, Your Majesty?"

"This is Rector's idea." Grebney said, "It's not your answer either."

Opal got the expected answer, and he suddenly understood many things.

"I think." Opal said again: "A soul without a self is not a living soul. A soul that repeats itself day after day is not a living soul. A soul that is unaware of its own existence is not a living soul. It eats every day, Sleeping, mining, walking, losing yourself in these cycles means losing your soul."

Grabini said, "What made you think of that?"

Opal said: "When I was on the B-11 before, the arrival of Teacher Rector seemed to let me see a new world. I was a monkey in the greenhouse, and I finally knew what the universe is like."

"This analogy is not appropriate." Grebini said: "But it is barely acceptable. You have also been a miner... No, why do I think your lies have been exposed... Opal?"

Opal: "!!!"

"Rector found you?" Grebini laughed, "So?"

Opal: "No...it's not what you think, hey, it's complicated."

Grebini had a funny taste: "Colorin told you this a long time ago, just to tease you, go on."

Opal, with black lines all over his head, walked aside, sat on a thick stack of books, and said, "The first time I went to the Temple of the Stars, I saw a sentence left by Nolan: Freedom is the power of the soul. I couldn’t help but think, what should a person do to be truly free?”

Grabini: "How to be truly free?"

Opal said: "I haven't figured it out yet, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I don't understand either, but at least for this moment, you and I are free," Grabini said.

Opal said: "And I think the first question, even if the monkeys don't know any information about the outside world, they will eventually evolve different individuals and start thinking about 'what's the outside world like?'"Greenhouse Is there anything else outside the roof?', 'Why are we here?' 'What else is there besides this?'. In fact, there is no need to think about these things when you are full. Animals never think about this kind of question. But humans Not the same, since humans have evolved the ability to think about issues other than survival, there must be a place for this ability to be put to use, so sooner or later the roof of the greenhouse will be opened."

"Very good, you passed." Grebini said: "Now I recognize you, Opal, the final judgment will surely come, you have surpassed Rector and Corolin, I am very satisfied with you... "

Opal crossed his legs, held a cup in one hand, leaned his elbow on the bookshelf in the other hand, smiled, and said, "No, no, I'm just talking casually, really. I don't have such firm belief as my teacher, I Sometimes I don’t even know what I’m going to do…”

Grabini got up and said, "Have you ever wondered what made you think this way?"

Opal said: "Myself, my life on B11... and... Speaking of Grabini, ah, sorry, I should call you Your Majesty..."

Grebini smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we can be good brothers, or how about I call you dad, so that both Rector and Corolin have to call you... Senior? Uncle? Now you are my dad. "

Opal couldn't help crying and laughing: "Mr. Rector picked me up just by chance. I think if it wasn't for me, if he fell on another planet, there would be another Appa, John or something else..." In front of you...uh, I mean...it was only a coincidence that I became the disciple of Mr. Rector and Mr. Corolin..."

"There is nothing by chance." Grebini walked slowly to the door of the study, and said, "Everything is inevitable according to the guidance of fate. Cologne has already known about your life experience, because your mother left in an accident. The Wheel of Time, launched into our universe, rushed out of space along a forcibly opened energy tunnel, and crashed on B-11."

Opal frowned and looked at Grabini, the Pope turned his head slightly, and said, "The second time, Corolin sent Rector briefly into the fifth-dimensional space, and also followed the path left by your mother when she shuttled back and forth. The trajectory, rushed out of the space outside your hometown, and fell on the mine star."

Opal: "..."

Opal was in absolute shock for a moment, but the next sentence directly made his mind go blank.

"You are unique in all parallel universes." Grabney said, "Because you were born in the fifth-dimensional space, the only..."

The Pope snapped his fingers, the door of the study opened slowly, and there was a person standing outside the door.

His face was very haggard, as if he hadn't slept in a long, long time. The moment Opal saw him, he couldn't hold the coffee steady and poured it all over himself.

He just glanced at Opal, then turned to Pope Drummond.

However, in that short glance, Opal found that the person in front of him knew him, they knew each other, not just one-sidedly, which confirmed many things—the past, the present, and Opal’s life A very important memory.

Because the person standing outside the door is a wrench.

"Your Majesty Drummond." Wrench made a mercenary salute, bowed and said, "I bring the blessing of Lie Xing, I wish you a long life."

Grebini changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and said coldly: "It's a pity that I'm tired of living, so saying that is undoubtedly cursing me."

wrench:"……"

Opal: "..."

Opal didn't have time to think about why Wrench appeared here, his first thought was: Wrench must have something important to say, and he must help him out immediately.

"Your Majesty." Opal said: "This sentence is not what you think, it is a greeting between mercenaries, for example..."

He jumped off the pile of books and walked towards the wrench.

Wrench smiled at him, as if a close friend from the past reunited, Opal gave a mercenary salute, and said in unison with Wrench: "Comrade-in-arms, I wish you a long life."

They pressed each other's right shoulders with their left fists, bowed down, and lightly touched each other with their fist faces.

Opal turned around and said: "The mercenaries use this etiquette to bless each other, and hope that the other party will live comfortably."

Wrench nodded slowly, Glebney said: "So you are in the same group, Opal, today's class is suspended, you can go out and have sex..."

Opal: "..."

"It's done." Grebini said blankly.

Opal patted Wrench on the back as encouragement, closed the door and left.

The moment the door was closed, Opal and Lei Meng stuck to the door at the same time, listening to the voice inside.

Opal noticed the profile facing Raymond, and asked in a low voice, "Does Wrench still know you?"

Both of their faces were leaning against the door, and they were very close. Raymond moved his lips, touched Opal's lips, and kissed. He looked into Opal's deep eyes and whispered: "Yes, we We just talked for a long time."

Opal kissed him back and asked, "What did you say?"

Raymond said: "Lie Xing's coup d'etat, he came to seek interstellar assistance..."

A man's voice behind him coughed.

Opal and Raymond turned their heads together, and saw the bishop named Andis holding a book in his left hand and pushing his glasses with his right hand.

"Your Majesty said you have orders?" Andis said politely.

Opal remembered and said, "Yes, please take me to the Prophet's library, I need to look up some information."

Andis made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please follow me."

Andis led the way and led them out of the Hall of Stars. Opal suddenly remembered the name of this place. The Pope's palace is called Stars, while Cororin's palace is called "Meteor". The stars are the gods of the universe, and Cologne takes it as his duty to extinguish the stars. How did these two guys get along?

Why would Coroline do this?

Opal suddenly remembered a problem that he hadn't thought about for a long time. He wanted to extinguish all the stars in the universe and let all interstellar civilizations surround Iszur.

The first thing is obviously impossible, there are too many stars, and it is impossible to do it in a lifetime.

But if you talk about the second thing, maybe it can be done.

"What did the Pope say today?" Raymond asked, "Is there an answer to the three questions?"

Andis led the way for the two in front and never looked back.Opal suspects that the pope is being watched, so before the watcher is found out, some things can't be said casually. One of the purposes of his coming here is to help the pope, but Grabini didn't say anything. Just give some plausible answers, or in other words, he is using these to imply himself?

Opal said, "Do you want to know how he interpreted it?"

Raymond nodded and said, "I'm more curious about the second question."

"We only said the first one," Opal said.

Opal briefly told Raymond his answer, Raymond nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What did he say last? Say it again."

Opal said: "He said he agrees with me, what's wrong?"

Raymond shook his head, and Andis led them to a gate and said, "Here, here is the Prophet's library."

Raymond opened the door for Opal, and the vast starlight spun and cast down. There was a bookshelf beside them. Looking upward, there was no end. Looking sideways, it spanned the whole world, like a side extending into the distance Opal entered the library, turned around and took a few steps back, only to find that the door was just a small grid at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"The endless wall." Opal said.

Andis pushed his glasses and replied: "The prophet's library is circular, but it's too big, so you can't see its curvature."

Opal took out a book and took a look, only to find that it was an old paper book.

With knowledge and records as vast as the sea, Opal couldn't help feeling dizzy when faced with this towering bookshelf.
