The Star Knight

Fortunately, Drummond has prepared the information for Opal, otherwise he and Raymond just searched in this ocean of knowledge, and they don't know when they will find it.

The two got into the car, followed the retrieval robot into the vast darkness, arrived at the center of the Prophet's library, received a note in a small room, and then went to the designated bookshelf according to the location of the note.

But even so, there are too many materials about the Wheel of Time. There are tens of thousands of books and folders, as large as the blueprints for its manufacture, the background of the era, and the blue book of the Star Community’s time plan. Technology, family trees of all members, detailed animal lists and more...

There are 110 or [-] books on the engine alone, and there are also notes taken by scientific researchers when they participated in the design and manufacture.

Lei Meng leaned against the bookshelf, and the two sat on the ground, the books beside them were piled up like a hill, and Opal leaned against his arms, and when they got a book and looked through it, they thought it was useless, so they threw it aside. Robots are responsible for picking them up.

After an unknown amount of time, Opal yawned, shook Raymond's chin, and said, "Hello."

"What?" Raymond didn't look up from the book.

Opal always felt that Raymond was a little absent-minded today. He looked around, but there was no one around, so he repeated what the Pope said. Raymond said: "You are unique, what does this mean? In all parallel universes, only a you?"

Opal shrugged and said, "Maybe, who knows? Why do you seem to be out of shape?"

"Me?" Raymond asked blankly, then smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the wrench."

Opal said, "What happened to him?"

Raymond said: "Let him tell you soon, but I thought of another thing, if in all parallel universes, you are the only person beside me in this world, then what about me in other universes?" manage?"

Opal said: "That's right!"

He couldn't help but start thinking about how the parallel universe would develop without his own existence.Without him, Rector would probably have died on the B-11, and Raymond would have been alone, or joined someone's mercenary group, after he left for Burning Star.

Shun might become a pirate's captive, and Sid a pirate?

"When Corolin marched into Liexing." Raymond said thoughtfully, "I should die."

Opal thought for a while and said, "No, without me, you might not stay in Lie Xing, or in other mercenary groups, maybe you wouldn't join the war..."

Raymond twitched his eyebrows and said, "I might have died when I was a mercenary at the very beginning..."

Opal said: "Oh, forget about it, it doesn't make much sense to discuss this."

He stretched and got up, and said, "I'm going for a walk."

Lei Meng let out a serious grunt, and continued to flip through the documents absent-mindedly, as if thinking about what would happen to him without Opal at the same time.

In fact, Opal was also quite curious. He drove to the center of the Prophet's library and found a man standing there - Andis.

"What are you looking for?" Andis asked proactively.

Opal said, "Well...it's nothing, come and have a look."

He intended to find some technology for replicating people, but he couldn't speak. He stood and watched for a while, and saw Andis sorting out a box of notes, with another piece of paper that he took out separately in his hand.

"What is this? The Ancient Epoch of the Light Era... the records of distant stars?" Opal thought of the cemetery of the phantom stars.

Andis said: "This is what the Lord of the Phantom Star asked the Pope for. It involves ancient secret books. I'm sorry that I can't explain it to you in too much detail."

Opal yawned, it was already night, he got in the car, went out along the library, wanted to breathe some fresh air, and returned to the garden outside the Hall of Stars.

"Wrench!" Opal said.

The wrench standing in the garden turned around, and said in a flat and emotionless tone, "Hi, buddy."

Opal laughed, stepped forward to hug him, and beat him several times.

Wrench smiled lightly, avoiding Opal's fist, he was more emaciated than before, with a feeling of almost morbid frailty, but he was wearing simple brown leather armor with an iris flower pin pinned to his collar, that The armor opal has been seen before, it is the costume of the mercenary king Azeroth when he attends important ceremonies on festival days.

"What are you doing here?" Opal asked.

"Wait for you." Spanner said wearily, and sat down on the bench. With countless emotions in his heart, Opal said, "You still remember me, I thought you had already forgotten."

The wrench said, "How can I forget my savior?"

Opal said: "Is there?"

The wrench smiled and said, "Did you forget the time you rescued me from the meteorite aircraft carrier?"

Opal sighed: "Let's forget about it, how are you doing recently?"

Spanner sighed, and said, "How long have you been away from Lie Xing? What's going on? I've been tracking down your whereabouts for a long time..."

Wrench began to talk to Opal about what happened on Liexing after he left. Intermittently, Opal was surprised to find that Wrench couldn't even connect to his own thoughts, so he tried to listen and read his thoughts to help understand , the chaos of many pasts, showing him the chaos of Lie Xing.

After Azeroth's death, Wrench led the whole star to form an alliance with the empire, and prompted the mercenary union to open a preferential treatment policy to the empire, including missions, recruits and a series of preferential treatment.

More and more people from the empire have entered Lie Xing. They form cliques according to their administrative origins and form opposing camps with the local mercenaries. The empire has infiltrated the mercenary unions, and the high-level officials are only concerned about this silent political battle. Eyes, close your eyes.

The country of mercenaries began to divide, becoming local mercenaries, new recruits who joined the Star Guards after the war, and wrench successors who succeeded the mercenary queen and infiltrated the local imperial visitors.The three camps faced each other tit-for-tat, and missions became the fuse of all conflicts. Many newly formed mercenary regiments often had street fights in order to compete for missions, and the situation became very tense for a while.In the end, the conflict broke out after a large-scale group fight by a mercenary group.

The local mercenary regiment took the lead in provoking the incident, and after Spanner found out the inside story, he had to dismiss the two leaders of the A-level mercenary regiment.

Based on the false speculation in an anonymous letter, the mercenaries began to accuse him of being a pawn planted by Cologne on Blazing Star, and questioned his real purpose after he was appointed in danger.

Opal: "..."

"This kind of... this kind of rumor is also, will anyone believe it?" Opal said.

The wrench smiled bitterly: "I don't know who made the rumor. How is this possible? Do you believe it? Since I am a spy sent by Cororin, why should I lean towards the Empire?"

"Yeah." Opal said guiltily, "Yes, yes."

The wrench said again: "Urka left, only Rosen stayed in Liexing, the A-level mercenary group initiated a joint signing, to keep the perpetrators of the gang fight..."

"Is it serious?" Opal asked.

The wrench replied: "It's very serious. It was an assassination operation launched at Ledgerson's concert. Their battle involved an important official of the empire. They planted and traced it. That day, the whole Liexing was like a civil war... until dawn Only then did I find out that the leader of a B-level mercenary regiment has escaped, you should have seen him, a guy named Yin Jian, he also participated in this...reverse...well, it should be regarded as a revolution."

Opal listened silently, looked up at the wrench, and the wrench said again: "Lily and many people told me not to execute the perpetrators, but if the death penalty is not executed, how will I explain to the empire? How to convince the public? So I finally killed them It's not easy to be a mercenary king, I didn't want to be a mercenary king from the very beginning... Rosen, Urka, Sister Haitang all said that I would definitely do it."

"Lily is gone, Xun and Sid brought many mercenary brothers and started to oppose me." Wrench said: "Right now, there is unprecedented chaos on Liexing, and some of the mercenaries sent by the empire have revealed a story about Azeroth. I want to use this record to attack the rebel camp, because Azeroth killed the former king Kyle Lei, and signed a 50-year peace immigration treaty draft with the Empire, and quickly issued a statement acknowledging Kyle Lei Said he is the son of Azeroth, and will make up for the mistakes his father made... To be honest, when these things happened in one day, do you know how confused I am, Opal?"

Opal said: "It's like losing your faith for a moment, and you don't even know the meaning of what you have been doing..."

The wrench nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, yes. I'm starting to waver. I want to hand over the throne to Xun, but their plan is not yet mature. If the empire launches force to suppress, Lie Xing will only usher in a better than Colorin." Even more terrifying bloodbath."

Opal said: "Listen to me, wrench."

The wrench said: "No, let me say, Opal, I'm just a technician, I can't even operate a mech, they don't want to listen to me now, Rosen and Urka were loyal to me before, everyone has their own Rosen desperately wants to kill Cologne to avenge his comrade Gray Wolf, Haitang wants to avenge his younger brother, Urka is a retired officer of the Empire, he has always been in contact with the Imperial Army, and the relationship is still very good... …I need to coordinate these relationships, they are actually the ones who are in power, I just ... but I didn’t listen to them afterwards.”

"And in this situation, Lie Xing is not Cororin's opponent at all. He can only temporarily put everything on hold. Without patience, how can the mother planet become stronger? Whether it is selling Lie Xing to the Empire or to Iszur , are not what I want..."

Opal said: "Wrench, I wrote that anonymous letter. I'm sorry, I don't know..."

The wrench looked a little confused, then nodded, and said, "Oh, it's okay."

Opal said: "I..."

Spanner saw Opal's meaning and said: "No, no, it's okay, Opal, your letter is just an excuse for them to launch violent means. That letter is contradictory to my political orientation, and it doesn't have much practical significance. In fact, I ...I suspected it too. Are you sure?"

"Colorin planted a dream in your heart on the mothership." Opal said: "He controls the mercenary kingdom by controlling you. This is just my suspicion, but I'm not sure if it's... I guessed..."

The wrench said: "Yes."

Opal said: "The concert of Ledgerson was for...you didn't listen to his concert?"

The wrench shook his head and said, "No."

Opal said: "Are you okay...wrench?"

The wrench consciousness seemed to be a little confused, Opal raised his hand to touch his head, but the wrench took his hand off and held it tightly, it seemed that there was some inexplicable emotion in the hands they held together. in.

"The phantom star said that there is a voice in my soul." Wrench said: "So I have been fighting against this voice. Use the method they taught."

"Phantom Starman?" Opal asked inexplicably.

Wrench said, "Prisoners on the Eye of Ignar, they promise three things for the Burning Star."

Opal immediately remembered.

The wrench said: "They are unwilling to help us deal with Corolin, telling me that my soul is influenced by many people. We must eliminate all interference from the outside world."

Opal said, "How do you eliminate interference?"

The wrench said: "They asked me to sleep less and strengthen my beliefs. I often don't sleep, and I am really sleepy. Just follow what they said, write down the things I think before going to bed, just sleep for a while, and sleep for a while. Woke up and re-read all my notes to strengthen my mind."

Opal didn't know what to say, and said, "Don't go back, I'll find a way to talk to Xun and let him come to the Kingdom of Light Arc."

The wrench said: "No, I have to go back. Now I am a bachelor. I will spend my last effort to dedicate my life to the home planet and fulfill my promise..."

When the wrench said this, Raymond was running from the side of the garden with a book in his hand.

Opal knew that Raymond had found important information, but he had waited for so long anyway, and there was nothing wrong with waiting a little longer, so he signaled with his eyes.

Raymond nodded to show his understanding, and came over and said, "Wrench, what are you doing here?"

The wrench said: "Please ask the pope to put pressure on the empire to let Rotman try not to interfere in the internal affairs of Lie Xing. If it doesn't work, try to postpone the date of sending the galaxy violation team."

Raymond touched Spanner's head, sat down beside Opal, put Opal's shoulders on his shoulders, and said, "Spanner, you need a lover to accompany you. You are under too much pressure. Do you need to introduce someone?"

The wrench smiled and said, "No, I'm a married man, thank you for your kindness, Raymond."

Opal glanced at the wrench and said to Raymond, "Something happened to Lie Xing."

Raymond nodded slowly, and made a questioning look, and Opal nodded, motioning for him to ask.

"Spanner, what do you need most now?" Raymond said, "Opal and I are willing to provide the greatest help we can."

The wrench let out a sigh of relief and said, "I want to sleep the most now. Opal, I feel much better when I say it. The Pope asked me to wait for you in the garden, and said that as long as I see you, I can fall asleep. Maybe it's true. of."

Opal's heart moved, and he understood what the Pope meant. He said, "Sleep here."

They loosened their holding hands, and Opal hugged Wrench's shoulders, letting him lie on the bench, pillowing his lap.

"I grant you a dreamless sleep." Opal whispered, and then put his hand on the wrench's forehead.

The moment Wrench closed his eyes, Opal's power of faith invaded his mind, the memory fragments of Lie Xing, the fierce and red-faced quarrel between the mercenary captains in the God of War Building, Wrench drew his sword in anger, tens of thousands of mercenaries alone Kneeling down, weeping bitterly under the gray rainstorm, the flames of war, massacres, Lily's reprimand and departure...

The picture of the memory freezes as he stands in front of the steps of the God of War Building, looking at the sky with red eyes.

The flaming red lips of the Twelve Nebula Mercenaries pierced the sky and departed, symbolizing that Lily and their son left his life forever.

Responsibility, betrayal, misunderstanding, the scene flashed again, and it was too late to look at it, until Legerson stared into his eyes and said something to him.

Opal keenly captured this fleeting moment, and the spirit gathered a force to smash the image of Ledgerson!

The sleeping wrench jerked his whole body in an instant, and Opal went deep again, reaching the wrench's subconscious.

There was a raging lava pool and fire, and the magma coalesced into a naked human form emerging from the pool, roaring arrogantly at him.

Opal's heart was shocked, and he was about to be expelled from this closed subconscious area, but another voice sounded, and the lava dispersed immediately.

"Opal?" Corinne asked, "What are you doing in the mind of the mercenary king?"

"Old... Teacher." Opal calmed down and said, "You really controlled him."

Corollin said: "I haven't had time to do anything yet, you came here for revenge. If you like this place, I can give it to you. How about I go to the outer consciousness?"

Opal couldn't laugh or cry: "Can you untie him, teacher?"

Cologne stopped joking with him and said: "Listen, Opal, if you want to hold the Burning Star, you have to be prepared to deal with Kyle Lei, and Kyle Lei is not something you can handle at this stage, you have to ask the Pope for help , don’t go to Lie Xing and kill yourself indiscriminately.”

Opal said: "Is Kyle Ray stronger than you?"

Corollin said: "He used to be the king when I was a mercenary. When I fought against him, I lacked confidence. I planned to lock him up for a while and make a decision after observing it clearly. However, your friend released him in advance. .”

"Neither the empire nor I are enemies of Lie Xing, only Kairleigh is. Think clearly, Opal." After Cologne finished speaking the last words, the lava disappeared completely.

Opal opened his eyes, and Wrench had fallen asleep.

Raymond whispered, "Is he better?"

Opal nodded and said, "We have to stay here for the time being... find a way to ask the Pope."
