The Star Knight

In the front yard, Miriam said interestingly: "He has done too much for General Levi."

Cullens shrugged, and Cologne said to Miriam, "I'm afraid Bordeaux's military bill will not be successful."

"It's hard to say." Cullens breathed out again, flicked the cigarette ash, sat back, put his elbows on the bench like a prodigal son, and said with a smile: "Many people don't think this is a good time , which includes me, but my voice is too low."

Miriam said softly: "The empire is not a good ally, and Azeroth is a lesson from the past. They don't want to send troops to fight for the allies, they just plan to give some money, and all they export are old technologies, including armaments... By the way, I heard that the source of floodlight is trying to implement a new plan to popularize the Galaxy Internet recently?"

Cullens said: "The Military Commission does not need armaments, they have their own armaments, and the government intends to popularize new technologies to the outer galactic planet provinces, which will require a lot of money, and will also make the surrounding galaxies easier to manage."

"You know, like on the source of floodlight, everyone is immersed in the virtual technology of the Internet, content with the status quo, and no one wants to fight. For the surrounding galaxies, as long as everyone drills into the Internet and satisfies food, clothing and The question of food for thought, perhaps the King of Meteor’s instigation speech will no longer find an audience.”

Both Cologne and Miriam laughed, and Cullens said, "Money, a lot of money is needed to start a war. You merchants want to fight, but soldiers themselves don't want to."

Corollin said: "I heard that there is a secret technology that can control unmanned combat aircraft through thought waves to capture the Meteor Corps."

Cullens frowned.

Miriam was slightly surprised: "I remember that the Star Alliance is still developing this technology, has it achieved results?"

Cullens said: "Is it the internal information of your chamber of commerce?"

Corolin said: "Professor Faldis's patented research uses the booster transmitter to exchange radio waves between the UAV and the controller. Single-person and single-machine, realize the signal interaction process."

Miriam said approvingly: "If it is really feasible, then through this technology, there will be zero casualties..."

Corollin said: "Of course, there are many problems. After all, they have to hide in another place to fight. Even if they are half an astronomical unit away, the transmission speed of radio waves will take 4 minutes. During this 4-minute delay, many things can happen. .”

Miriam said: "Perhaps adding a jumper can effectively solve this problem."

Cologne nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes. Cullens narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "I have been away from the Republic for too long, and I have never heard of it."

Corolin said with a smile: "It's all gossip, and I listen to it as a joke..."

While the three were talking, a commotion broke out in the hall.

In the back garden of the villa.

"Are you okay!" Opal yelled, "Is anyone there?"

A man with blond hair was lying in a pool of blood, and his wheelchair was hanging on the edge of the platform on the second floor.

Opal picked him up, took off his coat and put it on the back of his head. The man was very weak, his head was hit directly, and bleeding came from the corner of his mouth.

Opal quickly ran into the corridor on the second floor and shouted: "Someone fell from the third floor! Please help!"

Under the railing of the corridor, in the hall on the first floor, Li Wei said to a member of parliament: "Soldiers don't want to fight even more. The battle to pacify the planet Sol is not easy to fight, but Corollin's goal has never changed, and Lie Xing is just his goal." The plan is to slow down the war, one day the flames of war will burn to the Grip of the Light, we must take the first step, and we can't let him go on like this."

A scream broke the peaceful atmosphere of the banquet.

After Opal shouted, he ran out of the terrace again, which alarmed many people. The guard robots surrounded him, and someone hurriedly shouted: "Let the medical robot come over quickly! It's Principal Tifeng!"

Li Wei hurried up to the second floor, shivering slightly in disbelief as he pushed past the crowd into the terrace.

"Luke!" Li Wei picked up the blond man, and the brown curly-haired Bordeaux shouted loudly: "What happened here!"

Corolin and Karens also came. Opal was taken aback when he saw Karens, then regained his composure, pushed the robot away, and shouted angrily: "I didn't do anything! He fell on the ground himself." next to me!"

"Ivan! Don't resist!" Corolin shouted.

The noisy crowd fell silent, and Bordeaux's face became very ugly. Li Wei carried his lover up to the third floor to find a medical robot. Another middle-aged man walked up to Bordeaux and said, "An accident, the banquet continues, Feel free, everyone. What is your name, please?"

Opal looked at the man, didn't answer him, looked into Cologne's eyes beseechingly, and asked subconsciously: [What should we do now? 】Colorin signaled him to calm down with both hands, and Cullens said: "This is the chairman of the Tiergart council."

【Jumped off by yourself? 】Colorin said to Opal in his consciousness:【You still control it? ] Opal: [I, I, I... I don't know, I got a little impatient and walked away for a while. I shouldn't have affected him, really. 】Colorin turned to Tiergart and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. I am Klin Enminor, and this is my nephew."

Tiergart said: "Ah, distinguished guests of the Poons Chamber of Commerce, please follow me."

Two more soldiers came over, took them to the side hall, and called up the monitors on the second and third floors to check.

"I was by the front yard fountain and I didn't mind watching the front yard footage too," Corolin said.

Tilgart said: "Poons Chamber of Commerce is our best friend, please forgive me, Mr. Enmino, I just want to see why Principal Tifeng...you know, I am the host of this banquet, I bear the primary responsibility."

Corolin hurriedly waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.

A few robots were reading the chips, and in his free time, Karens said, "Mr. Enmino, President of the Council, is chatting with me, Miss Miriam."

"Is this your nephew?" Miriam said, "It's very pretty."

Corolin smiled and said, "This is Miss Miriam."

【Kiss the back of her hand and invite her to have dinner in a few days. 】Colorin said directly in Opal's mind with his consciousness.

Opal held Miriam's hand, kissed the back of her hand with dignity, and said with a smile: "Beauty, would you mind having a meal with me?"

Cullens and Miriam laughed at the same time, and Miriam laughed wildly and said, "You two are exactly alike."

Corolin smiled slightly, and Miriam asked again, "When will you be free, little gentleman?"

Opal said: "Available anytime."

Miriam said: "Then I will wait for your invitation next Tuesday."

The three-dimensional projection reproduced the scene at that time. Several people watched the projection together with the security captain. In the scene, Opal had been lying on the railing to look at the pool water and the starry sky. After a while, he turned around and hummed to the music in the hall, learning dance steps on his own , clumsy and immature.

Cologne chatted with Cullens and Miriam sitting in front of the fountain in the front yard.

Luke Tifeng on the third floor was sitting in a wheelchair, looking down at the book by the light of the terrace. After reading for a while, tears fell on the book.

He raised his head, and Opal was shocked for a moment. This man is very beautiful. He has the same bright blond hair as Legerson. He has a handsome face, fair skin, and moist lips. He is not like Legerson's appearance. Too beautiful to be picky, but more real.

You don't need to ask to know that he is a man from Sengbing province.

Luke's eyes were red, he put the poetry book aside, pushed his wheelchair, and came to the edge of the terrace.

"The principal may just want to see the water in the pool." Corinne said, "Uh, I believe so."

Opal said, "Does he want to commit suicide?"

Everyone around was very embarrassed, and no one spoke.

Corolin signaled him not to talk nonsense with his eyes, and at the same time said in his mind with his consciousness: 【Good job. ] Then on the projection, Lu Jialian fell on the balcony on the second floor with his wheelchair, making a muffled noise. Opal was startled, hurried over to call him, then took off his coat, and a series of accidents happened faithfully.

"Thank you for your help." Bordeaux expressed his gratitude briefly, and walked out first. One of the two officers went to report to Li Wei, and the other consulted the chairman of the Tirgart Council with his eyes.

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, Mr. Enmino," said the Speaker of the Council.

"Where?" Corinne smiled.

Several people dispersed, and everything in the banquet hall remained the same, the guests were whispering to each other, men and women were full of excitement, discussing this gossip in a low voice.

Cologne stayed behind to exchange greetings with Tiergart, while Opal returned to the terrace, watching the robot clean up the blood from the handsome man and continued to be in a daze.

On the third floor, Tifeng received treatment from the medical robot in the lounge room, while Li Wei and Bordeaux read the rest of the surveillance records in the living room, which showed Corolin and Opal's answers and actions after they entered the banquet.

On the projection, Cologne gave Opal a spoonful to eat: "This caviar is produced by Shui Lanxing, and it tastes very good..."

Opal: "No one cares about us..."

Corolin smiled wryly, "People speak lightly..."

Parliament Speaker Tilgart said: "It's a guest introduced by Poons Chamber of Commerce."

Li Wei said: "Bordeaux sent an invitation to the chamber of commerce, and ended up with such a pair of uncles and nephews?"

Tiergart said with a smile: "When they heard that there was going to be a war, other members of the Chamber of Commerce were unwilling to provide any sponsorship. The Enmino family seemed to need a chance to make a comeback. They did have a purpose, but it was just a familiar purpose... "

Li Wei sighed, went in to check on his lover, Tiergart turned off the projector, Bordeaux turned off the projector, and said, "Nothing unusual."

Tiergart said: "If you want to convince the Poons Chamber of Commerce, you can try to contact him. I saw that this man named Kelin seemed to have a good chat with Miriam."

Bordeaux said helplessly: "Forget it, what role can a prodigal son play? If the Chamber of Commerce is interested in approaching, it will not use such a person as a shield."

As the banquet drew to a close, a waltz was played in the hall, and Cologne walked up to the balcony on the second floor and said, "Want to learn to dance?"

Opal stopped moving, and Cologne smiled and hugged him, and let him stand on the flower bed, so that the height of Opal reached Cologne's eyebrows.

"How to jump, can you dance?" Opal asked.

Corolin took Opal's hand, took a step to the left, and said with a smile, "Of course, come, follow my pace."

Under the bright starry sky, Opal stood on the flower bed, with one hand on Corolin's shoulders, almost hugging each other, humming a song.

"It's worth it..." Opal laughed.

"Hmph..." Cologne whispered.

He lowered his head, resting on Opal's forehead, did not make any movements in circles, just rocked him in his arms.

Opal: "Is this a reward for my brave actions?"

Corolin: "Of course not, this is your compensation."

Opal: "What?"

Coroline: "A little compensation for the loss of my father."

The music in the hall reached its climax, and Opal said: "Oh, is it just dancing like this? Holding and shaking? I saw that they obviously didn't dance like this."

Corolin laughed, let go of his arms around his waist, turned around, and the two held hands with one hand, walking side by side on the ground and flower beds for a few steps, Corolin said: "This is a traditional The dance steps are called Cha Cha."

"Cha Cha." Opal said, "What's next?"

When Corolin walked to the end of the flower bed, Opal jumped down. The two held hands, staggered their steps sideways, then turned around and exchanged positions, and held the other hand. After a few beats, they separated again. Corolin said: " You're already at the meeting."

Opal: "Just learned from watching the people in the hall."

Corolin turned Opal around and hugged her, and both of them laughed.

Corolin: "You may be a good dance partner when you grow up..."

"Two." Li Wei's voice sounded from the entrance of the terrace: "I'm sorry to disturb you."

Corolin and Opal turned around, and Corolin nodded and said, "Hello, General."

Opal frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased at being interrupted, and also seemed to be slightly sullen because of the previous incident, his brows were full of fearless hostility.

Li Wei said: "I'm sorry for what happened just now, and I'm very grateful for your help."

Corolin glanced at Opal, Opal understood it, and reluctantly said: "You're welcome, this is what I should do. Is he better?"

Li Wei smiled and said: "Luke has already woken up. It's my fault. He shouldn't be left alone on the third floor for too long... If there is a chance, I would like to invite you to my house in a few days." Have a cup of coffee."

Opal looked at Cororin.

Corolin said: "The general invites you to go, if you want to go, just say 'OK, thank you'."

Li Wei said: "It is Luke who wants to express his gratitude to you."

"Oh." Opal said, "No problem, when?"

Corolin took the initiative and said: "We will stay at the source of floodlight for a while, this is my private communication number." Li Wei took Corolin's communication method, but did not exchange, nodded slightly, and said: " Happy New Years both of you."

Li Wei left again, and Opal had mixed feelings in his heart, and his mood was extremely complicated. He couldn't help thinking back to the moment just now, what was wrong with Luke Tifeng?He didn't know them before, but he almost lost his life.

Hearing the muffled sound when Luke fell, Opal felt guilty of being an executioner.But this is the price he must pay for being an undercover agent. He has no choice but to obey Corolin, so he can only strengthen his belief once again.

Corolin picked up Opal, let him sit on the railing, turned his back to him, and hugged him around his waist to prevent him from falling.

At the end of the dance, the Era of Light 20108 is coming, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, rising into the sky one after another.

The guests went to the terraces on the second and third floors one after another, and more and more fireworks lit up the entire night sky.Opal only felt that Corolin, who was leaning on his back, was reliable and full of security.

Corolin: 【Are you scared? 】

Opal: [I'm killing innocent people... Teacher, I feel... I'm a little uncomfortable, can you not let me do this next time. 】Colorin: 【You are killing people for me, don't be afraid, with me by your side, fear will be far away from you, and I will always protect you, no matter what you do, as long as I live, there will be everyone in this universe No one can judge us. ] Opal's heart gradually settled down again.

[Is it because what we did was right in the final analysis? ] Opal asked: [But I don't like to use this method...] Corollin replied: [Not necessarily, who can guarantee that what they do is always right?The only guidepost is your own belief, you don't need judgment, just belief. 】【Believe that what you are doing is right, and then let it go. The weak will never be able to shoulder the responsibilities that this world entrusts to the strong, nor can they judge others. The weak have only two choices: submit or die. ] Opal: [No, teacher, I think what you said is wrong, the weak also have the ability to resist.Have you not met the resistance of the weak in your life? 】Colorin: 【Well, Opal, now I will tell you a truth. All confrontations in the universe are nothing more than confrontations of beliefs.What is weak and what is strong?When the weak form a group through unity and inheritance, they gather each other's beliefs to fight against the strong. 】【So in the final analysis, it is still a comparison of whose belief is stronger. If the entire republic rises up against me one after another like Lie Xing, I may not be their opponent, but it is a pity that a single weak person can't do anything against me now. Because their beliefs are too small, like a plate of loose sand. ] Opal heard about Lie Xing, and it seemed that Cologne was still afraid of this mercenary country, so he stopped talking about it, so as not to ask questions that should not be asked.

[If you like to watch fireworks. 】Colorin said in his consciousness: 【When I go back, I will let people set off fireworks in the Grip of Light every day for you to see. I also liked it when I was a child. ] Opal: [It's too far away, I can't see clearly.The Republic is beautiful. 】

Coroline laughed and said, "It looks good?"

"It's beautiful." Opal murmured.

"Good things are short-lived." Corolin lowered her head and whispered in Opal's ear.

Cullens' voice sounded from the other side, saying, "Good things are short-lived, and the memories left behind are even more precious."

That sentence seemed to have touched a certain string in the deepest part of Opal's heart, which Cologne could not detect.

"Happy New Year." Cullens smiled.

"Happy New Year." Corinne smiled.
