The Star Knight

"Raymond?" Opal said, "Raymond!"

Raymond immediately pushed the door open and came in. Opal hugged Grabini, turned his head and glanced at Raymond, his eyes were full of complicated emotions.Raymond quickly walked over to Grabini and knelt down on one knee to check the side of his neck. Grebney had stopped breathing.

"How did you die?" Raymond asked in a low voice.

Opal shook his head and said, "He died suddenly."

Raymond said, "Is it weary death?"

Opal said: "I don't think so... He wanted to tell me something at the last moment... What should we do now?"

Andis opened the door and came in. The two were startled and turned their heads at the same time.

He pushed his glasses, came over and carefully hugged the Pope, Opal and Raymond retreated consciously to make room.Andis wrapped the pope in a blanket and said, "Wait here a moment, I will inform the other archbishops."

He left in a hurry, leaving Opal alone. The bodies of Raymond and Grabini were in the study. Raymond said, "The teacher asked you to protect him."

Opal said: "How to protect? If he dies, he will die... I can't even read his consciousness. The last words before he died were..."

Raymond immediately said: "Don't say it."

Opal licked his lips, thinking of the Pope's life form, he said: "We have to protect that baby. Maybe he has already entered the baby's body."

Lei Meng said: "Don't go now, wait until everyone is here."

After a while, all seven archbishops arrived at the scene, and they all bowed to the Pope's body with a special etiquette. Andis turned on the switch on the table and led several people into the corridor.Opal and Raymond kept staring at the fetus in the training cabin. It was close to the size of a fully grown newborn, and life data flashed on the light screen.

Raymond asked them, "What are you going to do now?"

"Complete the Nirvana ceremony." An archbishop said: "Waiting for the resurrection of the Holy Child."

Opal used the power of faith to read the hearts of all the archbishops, and found that the only thought in their hearts was the fetus in the training cabin, and they didn't even have any distracting thoughts.Opal has always suspected that there are spies ambush by the empire in the archbishop, but it is impossible for the pope not to take any countermeasures and let the spies do whatever they want under their noses.

Opal was prepared for a sudden situation, and even thought of breaking the nutrition cabin and taking it out of the plan when the holy child woke up, but several people stood quietly in the hall, and the time passed by, The fetuses in the culture medium remained unresponsive.

Opal exudes the power of faith to perceive the fetus, which has no soul, let alone inner thoughts, just like an object.

An hour passed, and the archbishops were a little uneasy. Opal glanced at Raymond, and Raymond asked, "I thought the Holy Child would... at least make some movement?"

"Yes." Eames said with a trembling voice, "If everything goes well, according to the current situation, the Holy Child has already awakened."

Opal turned to look at him and asked, "What will happen when you wake up?"

No one answered, Eames flexed his fingers and put them in front of his nose, and Opal instantly cut into his heart with the power of faith, and read a fleeting fragment——Lejason.

Two hours later, the bishops were almost certain that something serious had happened.

"Ricks, Andis." Eames said, "What did His Majesty say before he passed away?"

"Has this happened before?" Raymond asked first.

"Yes." A red-haired archbishop said, "Your Majesty will occasionally..."

Several bishops gestured with their eyes, and the red-haired archbishop glanced at Raymond, and Eames said, "Who was present when His Majesty passed away, Andis?"

Andis looks at Opal from behind the glasses.

Opal said: "He didn't say anything, he was just giving a normal lecture...he was talking...he died."

Eames said, "What."

Opal circled skillfully and said, "I have the right to keep the matter of the meteorite a secret for His Majesty Corolin."

After a long period of silence, time seemed to pass very slowly. The last time Raymond checked the time, four hours had passed since the death of the Pope.

"Let's go." The red-haired archbishop said: "You two guests, please go back to rest first, we need to discuss countermeasures."

Andis said: "I think both Opal and Raymond need to be present. His Majesty meant this before his death. He invited Opal to participate in the holy child's resurrection ceremony."

Ames said: "There is no record of the conversation, Andis, be cautious, and this matter does not require the guests of Meteorite to intervene. Call back the shepherd to prevent the situation from taking a new turn."

Opal said: "Wait, I'm a little unclear. His Majesty Drummond's death is a rebirth, right? He's not here, could he have gone somewhere else?"

None of the bishops answered, and Ames said briefly, "Yes. Now, leave here. You are just His Majesty's guests. When His Majesty is not present, I have the right to enforce the security regulations of the Cathedral."

Ems issued an order to evict the guests, so Opal and Raymond had to come out, and an archbishop brought them to the door.

They left the study, and Eames said, "The church is sealed off. You two, please wait in the monks' lounge. No matter what happens in 48 hours, I will give an explanation to His Majesty Corolin."

Two monk soldiers came over and made a gesture of invitation. The bishops issued an order to drive away the guests, and Opal and Raymond had to leave the Hall of Stars.

The cathedral was completely sealed off. Opal looked around from time to time. Raymond knew what he was thinking and said in a low voice, "I can't lose it. Let's find a place to talk and sort out the news."

Opal returned to Raymond's dormitory, and the two sat and stood.

Opal said: "There is no way at all. He didn't explain anything."

Raymond asked, "Now that we can say, what were his last words?"

Opal said: "Before we were still talking about the third question..." He suddenly glanced at Raymond, thinking of an absurd possibility, could it be the consciousness of the stars that killed Grabini?If so, why are you okay?

Rather than telling Lei Meng this paragraph, Opal skipped the question about the five-dimensional world, and said to Lei Meng: "The last sentence is 'entrust the shepherd to you'."

Raymond said: "Eames mentioned that he will recall the shepherd. He wants to use the shepherd to stabilize the situation?"

Opal had to admit that the pastor's position at this moment was very important, but since he had already gone to Iszur, the Pope should be aware of the possible dangers that the pastor might encounter.

He thought for a long time, and said, "The archbishop has internal support from the Rotman family."

Raymond groaned, frowned and thought, and said, "Who do you think it could be?"

Opal said: "I think the most likely one is that monk named Ames."

Raymond said, "I don't think it might be him."

Opal said: "It was he who proposed to recall the pastor. If he could guess the Pope's mind, he should not have done so. The first thing to do is to protect the pastor's personal safety."

Raymond was silent for a long time, and then said: "Perhaps he needs to stabilize the situation? If news of the Pope's death spreads, will Legerson return to the church right away..."

Opal only felt that the current situation was really a mess, and the most troublesome thing was their lack of information.

"We have to collect information." Opal said, "The Pope's soul is still there, that's for sure, because he told me that he is hiding in a curled dimension."

Raymond: "?"

Opal: "It's just... a slit in the world. I can confirm that he is not dead. Do you want to ask the teachers for help?"

Raymond turned on the communicator and found that Rector's location was "unconnectable". He said, "Try to see if you can contact Corolin in your dream. I'm in charge of inquiring about information."

Opal said: "By the way, go to Longyu, Longyu will feel at ease on our side."

At nightfall, there was an atmosphere of an enemy everywhere, Opal ate with a heavy heart, Lei Zi went out, Opal lay on the bed, hoping to find Corolin in the dream.

But no, he didn't know how long he slept, and when he heard a very slight sound in the distance, he opened his eyes in the darkness.

E7 and Xiao Q turned on the lights at the same time, Opal said: "What time is it?"

At four o'clock in the night, before Raymond came back, Opal got out of bed, ran out of the living room of the dormitory, drank a glass of water, and Raymond said in his ear: "Opal, the entire Great Church is under martial law, I can't enter Go to the Star Map Hall, Ames and his men are guarding heavily in front of the forbidden area of ​​the sanctuary."

Opal said: "I didn't get in touch with Corolin, he was like missing...damn."

Lei Meng said: "Dragon Ray doesn't listen to my call, and the Shepherd seems to be back, because when I just passed the Hall of Stars, I saw a small shuttle and people wearing Meteorite Emperor uniforms."

Opal asked, "Who is it?"

Raymond: "I can't see clearly at night."

Opal said: "You continue to think of a way, I will go to the Hall of Stars to have a look."

Raymond: "Be careful."

Opal: "Don't worry."

The two cut off the communication, and Opal said to E7: "You two stay here, no matter what happens, you can't go out."

As soon as the E7 ceiling light dinged, Opal pushed open the door. At this moment, the outside of the monk hall was empty, and there was no one else.He walked quickly through the corridor and opened the door leading to the central part of the cathedral.

There were many people standing inside, most of them were monks and soldiers, and there were also soldiers in imperial uniforms.

"Who?" Immediately someone discovered Opal.

Opal noticed that the man's military rank was a colonel, and said, "It's nothing, I'm a guest invited by Archbishop Ames."

The colonel walked towards him, and Opal retreated behind the door. This action immediately made the officer suspicious. The moment Opal quickly chased out of the corridor, Opal used the power of faith to close the door, making a muffled sound.

People in the hall looked sideways one after another. The timing of the automatic closing of the side door was just right. It seemed that the officer had closed it himself. The force hit instantly, causing him to faint on the ground.

This road could not go any further, Opal turned back to the monk hall, looked up at the twinkling stars on the circular dome, and recalled the moment when Grabini took him along this road.

He immediately understood the deep meaning of Glebbini's winking eyes when he arrived in the Kingdom of Light Arc on the first day.

It turned out to be like this... Opal vaguely remembered the direction at that time, he ran to a side door, and pressed his fingerprints.

opened!

All the secret passages in the monk hall are opened, and Opal closes them one by one. Follow the path walked three days ago to enter the gallery, and then enter the garden. The path is already full of heavily guarded robots. Go another way.

Tried in turn, one of the roads was an underground staircase, Opal walked up the stairs quickly, and heard a human voice behind a door—it was a man.

"Colorin's temper is much calmer than before." The man's voice said: "But for that guy, life itself doesn't have much to look forward to. You know his character, nostalgic, stubborn, and hostile The emotions were very strong."

"Excuse me." Caesar said in a thick voice, "Your Majesty and His Majesty Corolin are old acquaintances?"

"A very good friend." The man said: "I don't want to interfere with his actions against the Holy See, I just came back to take something that should belong to me."

Who is this man? !Opal frowned vigilantly, he had never heard this man's voice before.The other one mentions Cologne and calls him 'Your Majesty', is it supposed to be the one who brought the shepherd back? !It's from the Meteor Corps!

【Hi, I'm Opal. ] Opal's voice sounded in the mind of the other person: 【Who is he? 】The man's face changed slightly, but he didn't show too much surprise, and replied in his mind: 【His Royal Highness Opal?I know you, I'm Filo, Colonel of the No. 13th Army's Ground Force Intelligence Department, under the direct command of Major General Allen, but the situation is unclear, and I'm trying to tell him what to say. ] Opal: [Where is the teacher? 】

Fei Luo: [The four generals thought His Majesty was with you!It has been a long time since he sent back a message to Iszul. ] Opal: [Where is the Shepherd? 】

Fei Luo: [The pastor received a message from Lord Ramos and insisted on returning to the Kingdom of the Light Arc. His Majesty is not in Iszur, so I can only escort him back. After the pastor returned, he went to the Pope's study. It is said that Lai Jason is there too. 】Opal: "!!!"

【Filo, don't act rashly. ] Opal said: [No matter what happens, don't fight them, remember! 】Opal ran out of the secret passage, tried the passages one by one, and finally opened a trap, and entered the corridor outside the Hall of Stars.

Opal walked in along the corridor, and the music came, the sound was grand and solemn, echoing throughout the side hall, Legison turned his back to him.

"Welcome to the Hall of Stars, dear Opal." The music stopped, and Legison said: "We meet again."

Opal stopped and said, "Leggerson, what are you doing here?"

Legison said: "To modify a person's memory, let me guess, it was Corolin who asked you to interfere with my actions?"

Opal said: "I am here to protect the Pope on the orders of Teacher Rector and Corolin."

Legerson said: "He's dead, he's lived so long and finally found his place, it's a good thing for him, finally got his wish, I guess he doesn't even want to be born again, you say, oh Poor?"

Opal noticed that the shepherd was lying on the pope's throne, with his head slightly tilted back, and his eyes closed, so he invaded his mind with the power of faith and read many complicated memory fragments. However, the next moment, Legison said: "Meddling is not a good habit, Opal."

In an instant, the two forces of faith clashed, and Opal was hit by the volley and flew out of the garden.
