The Star Knight

Opal took off his hat to greet a strange adventurer, who had a strange expression, and took off his hat in return.

"You don't have to see everyone do this." Raymond couldn't help but laugh.

Opal said with enjoyment: "This is just a pretentious ceremony, not a greeting itself."

Raymond's head was full of black lines, and he opened the VIP inquiry machine.

"Special file, please perform three-layer verification of fingerprint, gene and pupil."

Lei Meng pressed his finger, passed the genetic and fingerprint verification, and moved his eyes to scan it again, with a beeping sound.

"Synchronization is complete, please operate." The electronic voice said.

Coroline Sachs.

Level: [Hidden. 】

Ongoing task: 【Investigate the ancient ruins in the Abyss of Destiny. 】

Authorized publisher: Cartes.

Opal: "..."

Raymond looked at an adventurer's badge in his hand over and over again. Its surface had been smoothed, and the design and color could not be seen. It looked like a product many years ago. Finally, Raymond pressed it on the safety lock and opened a map. .

Above is a map of King's Wharf's local abyss, a giant vortex.

[Abyss of Destiny, the defense base of the King's Wharf in the dark age, with a total of seventeen floors. It is said that only a very few people have entered the bottom floor, and the tenth floor is extremely dangerous. There are samples of animals and plants from multiple planets, twelve The first floor is the remains of the ultimate battlefield. The fifteenth floor is said to contain the magic blue fluorite. The sixteenth floor is unknown. After the glorious battle, it was completely blocked by the presidium of the Great Astronautics Association. ] "Let me see the badge." Opal took the badge, the surface has been smoothed, and the color can't be seen, it looks like a plum blossom, and there are faintly colorful lines.

Raymond said: "This badge may be an old version. What level of adventurer do you think he will be?"

Raymond copied the unfinished commission left by Cologne into his adventurer's handbook, and left side by side with Opal. Opal thought for a while and said, "He also worked as a mercenary before. For so many years, the universe I must have traveled all over the place, but I forgot whether it was a B-level or a C-level..."

Lei Meng said: "With his ability, at least he can be an S, if he is serious about working in Lie Xing."

"Yeah." Opal said thoughtfully: "But I feel that he doesn't like Lie Xing very much, or that he can't get into it. The teacher also said that. He might have stayed in the Great Astronautics Association for a longer time... ..."

Opal thinks that Corolin's temperament is more like adventurers, sinister and sophisticated, spying in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to make a move... It is really a headache to be an enemy of this guy, but fortunately, there is no such thing as yet.

"I promised him three things." Raymond said, "After all three things are done, I will be free."

"Is there such a condition?" Opal frowned.

Raymond said: "He promised not to embarrass me with troublesome things. Now it's the second thing. Go to the bottom of the abyss to find something."

Opal always felt a little dangerous, and asked, "Why didn't he go deeper?"

Raymond said: "Who knows? It may be some difficulty, or it may be a special event that made him give up his plan to stay in the Great Astronautics Association...Compared with this, I am more curious about what is hidden at the bottom, will it be Will it be Horius' tomb, or..."

Opal said: "Ask Douglas."

Nearly two hours have passed since the event that Sen agreed with them. It can be seen that the chairman of the Great Astronautics Association is not a punctual guy.

King's Chamber on the second floor.

There was an angry quarrel inside, Opal pushed open the door and saw Douglas dozing off in front of the chair, eyes squinted, the quarrel between a young soldier and a female officer stopped when they opened the door.

The atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Opal said: "Chairman, is it convenient to talk now?"

Douglas looked at him ignorantly. After the two sides looked at each other for a while, Douglas asked, "Who are you?"

"Adventurer Opal, Raymond." Raymond introduced himself: "You asked Sen to call us up at 02:30."

Douglas nodded slowly. Opal really lost to him. Not long ago, he met on Planet Jinyao, and he forgot as soon as he turned around... No, he didn't forget.

Seeing the sly look in Douglas' eyes, Opal vaguely sensed something.

"Sit down, please," Douglas said.

Raymond and Opal took their seats, and Douglas said to the two soldiers, "You can continue talking."

Opal knew that this must be Brigadier General Feige and the head of the intelligence department of the Falcon Star, but he did not expect Douglas's move to be more ruthless, directly meeting them both at the same time.

The female officer said coldly: "According to the search warrant issued by Jin Yaoxing. The two of you need to go back with me to be examined. Chairman Douglas, are you really going to provide asylum for the prisoners of the empire?"

Douglas said: "What did they do? I forgot again. My memory is always not very good."

Opal laughed so hard that he almost fell off the table. Raymond smiled and said, "What kind of hatred can't be solved? Beauty, how about a cup of coffee?"

"You didn't commit a crime." Wen Li smiled at him: "After the matter is over, you can have a cup of coffee. I mean that kid, and his other partner, he didn't come today?"

Opal stopped laughing immediately.

"If you're interested in him." Opal said, "I can introduce his twin brother to have a cup of coffee with you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to play with him."

Wen Li's complexion changed, she turned to look at Douglas, and said, "Chairman, if you don't settle this matter before the association closes today, you will be responsible for all the consequences."

Douglas said: "What's the consequence, please repeat? I've never had a very good memory."

Wen Li finally knew that Douglas was playing tricks on her, and she said in a low and threatening voice, "Then we'll just wait and see."

She left the meeting room and closed the door heavily, leaving Opal, Raymond, Douglas, and Fige in the room.

Brigadier General Feige was silent for a long time, and then said: "Justin is dealing with the aftermath on Liexing, and he has no time to come back. He told me to protect you. It is safest to follow me."

"No need." Opal said lazily, "Thank you for his kindness, hasn't he been scratched by the shepherd?"

Raymond said, "He doesn't seem too afraid of his wife."

Opal said: "Oh, I think that's only on the surface."

Feige said: "A group of lunatics, I'm sorry to remind you again, Chairman Douglas, your decision will bring the entire Great Astronautical Association into the abyss, and the Empire will not sit by and watch you cooperate with Cororin. You'd better consider my proposal again. "

Douglas asked again: "What's the proposal? I'm old."

Fig had nothing to do with this guy. Just as he was about to get up, Douglas said again: "His Royal Highness Baroque wants to come and inspect, of course we welcome it. As for other matters, how about postponing it for now? Can the two children go with you?" of."

Brigadier General Feige's expression relaxed a little, but he still had a paralyzed face, and said, "You can't protect them, Chairman. Wen Li's intelligence department is lurking in plainclothes all over King's Wharf. You will be in trouble."

Douglas took out two candies and distributed them to Opal and Raymond. He said, "Then give it a try, General Fig."

Brigadier General Feige stopped talking nonsense with him and left the conference room.

Douglas sat thoughtfully, without expression for a long time, while Opal was chewing on candy and squinting at the old man. Raymond spoke first and asked, "Chairman, we happen to have a question for you too."

Douglas nodded. Raymond opened the Adventurer's Handbook and said, "We have received a commission to investigate the Abyss of Destiny. Do you know what's inside?"

Douglas reached out and patted a bell, and the sound of ding ding ding ding came out, startling Opal and almost choking on the sugar. Raymond didn't know what he wanted to do, and his expression was blank.

"There is the remains of King Shax," Douglas said. "At the bottom, there is Horius and the Dark Ages, the cemetery of heroes who died for King's Dock."

Opal's heartbeat stopped instantly.

Douglas said: "I called you here to ask about the results of the Lava Star investigation, but now it seems that there is already an answer."

Opal didn't quite understand, and said, "Why?"

Douglas let out a long breath, took out a pipe from his jacket pocket, and smoked a puff.

"Is the army of replicants imminent?" Douglas said.

Raymond and Opal startled at the same time, and Douglas tapped his pipe on the table, knocked out some ash, and said, "Where did Mr. Rector go?"

Raymond didn't know much about Douglas, but Opal signaled him to be quiet with his eyes, and said to Douglas, "We destroyed the first base, and the teacher is looking for clues to the second base."

Douglas said, "It sure is coming..."

Opal said: "No way, the clone army is about to attack?"

Douglas shook his head, and finally woke up from the state of half-meditation and half-talk, and said, "No, we have to deal with Alex first."

At the same time, Vice Chairman Sen pushed the door open and entered the conference room, took off his hat and said, "In honor of Horius."

Douglas took off his hat and returned the gift, and said in the same way: "In the glory of Horius, Sen, activate the recall order of the association, collect all the commissions from the alien system, and let the adventurers return to the King's Wharf after finishing the matter at hand."

Another adventurer came in, one after another, more and more, everyone took their seats, Opal and Raymond got up and moved to the outer seats, Douglas asked again: "Garp, how long is our reserve enough to last the war?" ?”

"I don't think war is a good solution." The named adventurer said: "With the current reserves and planetary defense forces, we may be enough to deal with the empire's two-year attack. The premise is that the other party does not activate the Saintess Fortress, And keep the number of legions within two. It also needs to be the case where there are both big and small aces.”

Sen said to Opal and Raymond, "You two can leave now."

Opal still wanted to hear a few more words, but Douglas said: "Go continue the entrustment. If there is anything else, I will make an appointment with you again."

Raymond had to close the door and come out, Opal said: "Did you hear that? There is going to be a war, maybe with the empire."

Raymond said, "Not necessarily, it's just the worst outcome...Why does this old man feel like he knows everything?"

Opal went to look at the entrustment information machine, all the alien system missions on it disappeared, and all were replaced by local entrustments.

"What now?" Opal asked.

"Let's take a vacation first." Raymond closed the adventurer's handbook and said, "I've been here at King's Wharf for so long, and I haven't taken a vacation yet."

Opal thinks the same way, when he has time, he has no money, when he has money, he has no time, and he has never taken a vacation since returning from the White Falcon Star.It's finally time to relax.

Autumn is the most beautiful season at King's Wharf. Hexagonal maple leaves are all over the streets and alleys. There are still many things to do in the future. Still drifting in the unknown world, what action will the Empire take against the Great Astronautics Association...

Opal and Raymond left the guild and walked on the road covered with maple leaves. The two maple trees are like a long corridor, and at the end is the blue sky washed by water.

"I'm beginning to understand the teacher's beliefs." Opal said: "The teacher's beliefs, Corolin's beliefs, and Nolan's ideals."

"I'm starting to get a little bit of what Legerson believed in," Ramon said.

The corner of Opal's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "I don't understand at all."

"Look." Raymond said: "It's such a beautiful thing, so he is willing to sing it loudly, no matter whether there are audiences or not, no matter how well he sings, it is a kind of...uh, a kind of release. A kind of..."

Opal said: "A catharsis from the heart."

Raymond said: "Maybe, what do you want to drink?"

The square was sunny in autumn and the wind was blowing comfortably. Opal went to sit on the lawn, and Raymond went to buy food. The two lay side by side on the grass.

A maple leaf fell and landed between Opal's eyebrows, and he gradually fell asleep.

A hand reached out, took the maple leaf away, and poked his forehead, Opal said: "Sleep a little longer."

"You are not a qualified adventurer. You are too lazy, Opal." Raymond's voice said, "During the Grip of Light, I think I should teach you to be more diligent."

He sat up abruptly, and Coroline said, "Take a walk?"

Opal noticed that he hadn't gotten smaller, and he was still wearing suit trousers, a shirt vest, and a plaid cap.He smiled, took off his hat and greeted Coroline, and said, "Hello, teacher, how do you like this outfit?"

Corolin was wearing a long windbreaker, carrying a black gold ax and cannon, and said, "Are you lazy again? You didn't go to the abyss of fate."

Opal said: "I will go after a few days of rest, how about you? What is this place?"

Opal finally found out that he was no longer on the Maple Leaf Trail outside the Great Astronautical Association. This was a strange place. There was a manor in the distance, and the laughter of children came from it.

Corollin said: "This is a dream. I am practicing a new power of belief. This power of belief can work in daydreams and affect the actions of the corresponding target."

"Who is the corresponding target?" Opal asked with a frown.

Coroline walked across the grass, bowed his head and put on his mittens, and said, "The enemy."

Opal followed behind him, and walked towards the manor with Cologne. Cologne said: "To defeat our enemy, we must first explore his past and find his weaknesses."

Female star:

The mother of the female rose is on the verge of withering, but the vegetation of the entire female star is thriving.

"Tickets for Ledgerson's concert! Tickets for Ledgerson's concert!" Someone shouted, "I'll take you in! Only [-] credits, box!"

Rector waved his hand, put on his sunglasses, jumped off the maglev car, and saw the beams of light flickering under the huge shade of the mother of daughters, and he had already surrounded the open field.The performance stage was just under the tree trunk. A teenager came over and asked, "Sir, do you need a local guide?"

Rector said: "I came to find someone, thank you."

Female Luoxing is not like Shuilan. The latter has developed into a tourist attraction in the universe, and commercial tourism services are in place. However, Female Luoxing does not have many entertainment facilities except for a few large parking areas and a limited number of forest dwellings.

All landscapes require tourists to find their own experience, from the deep trenches across the planet to the sea of ​​trees, night, day, holy land, grassland, tourists are everywhere.After the female star joined the Dark League, tourism resources were developed in just a few years. The local people almost no longer rely on planting for their livelihood. Many factories were dismantled, leaving only leisure farms and residential inns for tourists.

The female star made a lot of money and no longer had to worry about making a living. However, many people left angrily. Fortunately, Corolin didn't ask for more than asking the female star to be open to the whole universe.All construction and planning are entrusted to the local government of the female star, achieving a high degree of autonomy.

As for the foreign relations of the female star, Corolin will not interfere in any way, and the invitees to Legison's "comeback" concert are not only the dignitaries of the Empire and the Republic, but also the hotly discussed focus of Jin Yaoxing, the prince Alex. x.

Holding the concert at such a time is undoubtedly a buffer zone reserved for the entire interstellar situation after the Pope enthroned and the Star Wars.

Rector easily entered the tree sea area, walked on the steps of the towering giant roots, and heard the music in the lounge.

Legison was sitting in the middle of the open-air platform. There was no one around. The skylight fell from the gaps in the leaves of the mother of dills and fell on his smooth blond hair. He played the organ ecstatically.

"This is the province of monks and soldiers." Corolin said, "The Orphanage in E major in Changkong City."

Opal looked up and saw the light sign at the entrance of the orphanage, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Look at the kid." Corolin raised her eyebrows and said, "Opal, can you recognize who he is?"

Opal looked into the railing and saw a group of children standing together, smiling.

"Third from the left?" Opal said.

"It's the one in the middle," said Coroline numbly.

Opal: "..."

The little robot took a picture of them, and the children dispersed. The blond child in the middle stood alone. The dean clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now we send Legerson off."

The children seemed reluctant, and came one by one to shake hands with the blond child.

Opal understood that this was Legason's childhood.

A blond-haired faculty member came over, and the dean said, "This is your father, Legerson."

Legison glanced at him. The man looked down at Legison with a serious expression.

"Father," Legison said in a low voice.

"He is the Archbishop Yiran of the Kingdom of Light Arcs." Corolin said, "Lejason was once the next body of the Pope, but Grebini went to negotiate with the Legion of Wisdom and was detained by Calb. Now The situation in the Holy See is very chaotic."

Opal said: "Is he the actual power holder?"

"No, no, there are a couple of archbishops, they're negotiating with the Legion of Wisdom," Corolin said.

The surrounding environment has changed, Corolin and Opal are in the Holy See.

"He was seven years old at this time," said Coroline.

Legison was wearing shorts, standing on the balcony, propping up a chair and standing on a high place, staring blankly into the distance. From his angle, he could see a round hole in the center of the stained glass window, inside the red round hole It's a scene from another room.

Opal and Corolin were standing behind him. Opal wanted to climb up on the chair and watch with Ledgerson, but Corolin stopped him.

"Shh..." Corolin said, "He's very, very fragile at this moment, don't disturb him."

"If you go up too, the chair in his mind will collapse and he will fall beside us. That's what he's been hoping for all along."

Opal asked, "What is he looking at?"

Coroline said, "Look at Ejan, guess what Legerson saw?"

Legison's expression changed drastically, he climbed off the chair, turned around and ran away, the moment he left, Opal immediately jumped onto the chair, and saw that in the diagonally opposite room, Yirang was sewing stitches on his left abdomen.

In the short second of that glance, Opal seemed to see something metallic.

"See?" Coroline asked, "What did you see?"

Opal thought of the metal wires in Raymond's body, and said, "I...I don't know. Something flickered in the sun."

Corollin said: "Finally found his weakness."

The surrounding environment changed again.

Legerson grew up, he played in front of the piano, and the music flowed like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Archbishop Yirang was lying on the handrail of the garden, squinting his eyes. There was the sound of gunfire outside, and the sky was reflected red.The space station spun and emitted a blazing light, then was hit by the battleship, and gradually fell in the blue sky.

Legison made a trill from his fingertips.

Yi Rang closed her eyes and said, "Keep singing."

Legison said in a low voice: "When I silently observe all the lively vitality, it takes only a moment to maintain their fragrance..."

Yirang sang in a deep voice: "The stage of the universe only plays some tricks; it is drawn in the dark by the stars of the sky."

Lejason tilted his head, with imperceptible sadness flowing in his eyes, and sang: "Tremble, future age, listen to my call: you are not born yet, the beautiful summer is dead."

There was another loud noise, and Legison couldn't help trembling.

Yi Ran said: "The age of mankind is over, and a new era is coming."

Legison looked up at Yi Rang and asked, "Father, will everyone die?"

Yi Rang said: "Perhaps, fate is the guide of the stars."

The music stopped, and Legerson said: "The Pope told us to be kind to our lives and wait for death...Sangha now..."

"Winning is also the guidance of the Creator, and death is also the guidance of the Creator." Yi Ran stood up and said: "Everything will have an end, this is what the Pope bestowed upon us."

He walked out of the garden and went to the Hall of Stars.

Coroline: "Guess what he's thinking at this moment."

Opal: "I can't guess."

Corolin whispered: "You guessed it, Opal."

Opal stood quietly, and then said: "He was thinking, remembering what he saw when he was seven years old, he suspected that Archbishop Yirang was a clone."

Cologne nodded and said, "Yes, do you think he will inform the human army?"

Opal shuddered, and Cologne said, "If it were you, would you?"

"No." Opal said, "No."

Corinne said, "Me neither."

Opal said, "Did he inform? Yirang was too careless."

Corolin said: "Yirang's misfortune is the great fortune of mankind. How much do you think of the father-son relationship between Legason and Yirang?"

Opal said: "It's a little indifferent, without me and the teacher, me and..."

"There is a lot between you and me." Corolin said lightly, "Look at this again."

It was a dark night in the land of light arcs, and Legison ran wildly in the grass, with light bullets flying all over his head, and his face was pale with lightning-like energy.

"Help me—" Legerson ran with all his strength.

Ke Luolin and Opal stood on the road in the dark night, watching Legison running across the wilderness from a distance, the army of replicants descended in full force, bombing sounded one after another, and a simple mech made a loud noise across the plain.

An earthquake bomb was dropped from the zenith, and Legison's young body was lifted up by the shock wave. The mecha behind him rushed forward and raised his hand to catch him.Immediately afterwards, incendiary bombs and sonic bombs covered the area, and gravel flew around Kolorin and Opal. Opal was in the explosion, but had nothing to do with the explosion.He was near the point of the explosion and watched as everything was toppled, dirt flew into the sky, trees were uprooted and flew in all directions.

At dawn, they stood in the Holy See, with a long corridor in front of them.

Opal said, "This is where I lived."

Corollin said: "During that time, Legerson also lived here, you see, he woke up."

Opal said, "What time is this?"

Corolin said: "This is his daydream, Opal, I suddenly realized that you are a bit stupid, have you ever daydreamed?"

Opal said: "It's too late for you to realize that I'm stupid and lazy, daydreaming? I understand..."

These are all Ledgerson's memories, or fantasies, Opal couldn't help but wonder, how did Corolin invade here?Is his ability already great enough to directly read Legerson's thoughts?

"Look, he's awake," said Coroline.

Barefoot, little Legerson ran noiselessly down the carpeted corridor like a quiet cat.

Opal was about to follow behind him, but Coroline said, "Shhh, don't disturb him."

Legerson slowed down, and Corolin said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the fragment between the two memories we saw just now."

Lejason leaned against the door, but couldn't hear the sound inside, so he ran to another room at the end of the corridor, went out to the balcony, put the chair back, and stood on a high place to look in.

"He must have been spying on his father like that a lot, you see, very skillfully," Corolin said.

Opal said, "Whenever he does this, what is he thinking?"

"I think he was severely autistic as a kid, what do you think?" Coroline said.

Opal nodded slowly, and Cologne said: "Geniuses in art and music often have a closed inner world. We might as well assume that he was born by Ai Yijun, and he wanted to use his child's behavior to show his love for him." Yirang’s return and care. The specific behavior is peeping, knowing a little more, and knowing what he is doing.”

Opal said: "I think Yi Rang also has feelings for Legerson. You see, he will save Legerson."

Coronne said: "Perhaps. Because we don't know the emotional world of individual replicants, how did Raymond behave?"

Opal said: "Every individual has his own emotional tendency. From the day he leaves the training cabin, the people he knows will be different according to the surrounding environment. Just like Raymond."

Corolin said: "So Yirang may have adopted an orphan in the beginning to conceal his identity as a replicant, until he spent a short two years with Legerson..."

Opal said: "We both regard each other as our own family members. But why did he inform?"

With a smile in his eyes, Cologne said, "He didn't tell the truth, but when he saw that the Holy See was destroyed by the war, he had a little bit of wavering thoughts."

"The Light Arc's national defense battle was a turning point for the Wisdom Legion's second attack. In this battle, Legerson's idea influenced the future of the entire universe." Corollin said slowly: "Kalb's retreat, this is for the Horius bought time, Mr. Rector got the way to the ivory tower, and 400 years later, on the way to the ivory tower, he was intercepted by the Legion of Wisdom, fell on Shax, and met me."

"It's all because of Legerson's idea, so now I will stand here, and you will stand here too. We can know each other thanks to him. This reason finally became the result of Legerson."

Opal: "..."

The piano stops.

"Teacher." Legison said, "It's been a long time. Are you here to take my life?"

Rickett took off the hood of his cloak and said, "I'm here to atone, Rajson, kill me, eliminate all your hatred, and then end all the mistakes you made because of hatred."

The author has something to say: Why Legerson hates Rector

It's because Rector read Legerson's heart and knew that his adoptive father was a replicant.
