The Star Knight

Opal entered the bridge and sat in the control room. Isohn, who was standing in front of the observation porthole, looked back at him, then walked towards him and bowed.

Opal nodded back, and said, "Teacher still has 45 minutes to enter the range of the distant star's electric field."

Isohn said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Opal shook his head and said: "After entering the electric field, the communication will be interrupted. Only he and I can communicate. If there are any instructions, I will convey them."

Isohn nodded and stood beside Opal. The two of them looked at the screen. The spot of light where Kolorin was gradually approaching the mysterious planet. This is a strange and isolated planet in space without any markings. It cannot be detected by the radar at all, and all the electric waves sent towards it cannot be reflected, and its existence cannot be seen on the detector, just like a black hole.

However, based on the gravitational field data, it can be calculated that there is a planet with a low density in this area, which is emitting weak radio waves into the vast universe.

The battleship slowly approached the distant star, and emitted a probe light, shining into the boundless darkness. Thousands of spaceship wreckages floated in the dark space, and everyone couldn't help but be moved by it.

This place is like a cemetery where countless sunken ships are moored. The abandoned ships are scattered in the space [-] astronomical units away from the distant star with the smell of death.

"I really want to know what its radio waves are like." Opal said to himself.

Isohn shook his head and said, "Many adventurers once wanted to explore distant stars, but its existence is so strange that all spaceships that entered its electric field never came back."

Opal turned on the light screen and read the precious records on it. It was the record of a group of mercenaries who were disturbed by the radio waves of the distant star after they approached the distant star and formed a mental hallucination.

Just like the charming singing that lingers in my mind, like the singing of mermaids in ancient times, and like the beautiful love that is addictive, this mercenary group accidentally discovered the area near the distant star more than 1000 years ago, and finally escaped successfully. After returning to Lie Xing, the records will be recorded. However, the head of the mercenary group drove the spaceship again shortly after entering the shipwreck cemetery, and finally disappeared within the coverage of the distant star radio.

While reading this record, Opal used the power of faith to detect Isohn's thoughts and read his thoughts: he is still worried, he thinks Corolin is too crazy, and he is afraid that he will be in danger.

"Has the teacher always been like this?" Opal said, "Is this crazy?"

Isohn pondered for a while, and replied, "He wasn't like this before, or... he's especially... crazy recently."

Opal hummed, and Isohn said, "Can you bring His Majesty back? I'm afraid it's too dangerous. After all, no one has ever entered the far star. From the time he proposed this plan, to the tactics against the Republic... this shows It's kind of out of the ordinary."

"I'm confident he will come back safely," Opal said.

Isohn no longer objected, Opal connected the signal and said, "Teacher, can you hear me?"

Cologne's voice said in the communication channel: "Audible, ready to cut off the radio wave connection. Enter the dream state."

Opal intertwined his fingers, lay on the back of the seat, adjusted his sitting posture, closed his eyes, and heard Isohn say in his ear, "It's fine to park here, don't come any closer."

Opal adjusted his breathing and entered a half-asleep state, his thoughts suddenly left the Nemesis, and was dragged to Cologne's side in the pale electronic wind floating in the cold space.

He existed in Cologne's consciousness, and the two looked at the planet outside the cabin of the small spaceship together.

It was a planet exuding a faint milky white light, with a round body, no undulating mountains and rivers, and no water flow.

"I fixed a field energy sensor on the aircraft carrier." Cologne reached out and pulled down the engine lever, slowed down, and said, "If I behave abnormally, you should leave my dream immediately and tell Isohn to activate the sensor, revenge The Goddess will emit a tractor light, which will suck the small spacecraft back."

Opal said: "But why can't I feel its radio."

"Because you are in my daydream." Cologne said: "The distant star radio will not directly affect you..."

Opal's consciousness is wrapped in the dreamland of Cologne's warm mist, gradually approaching the distant star.

"Teacher." Opal said, "It looks beautiful this way."

Coroline didn't answer.

Opal said: "Teacher?"

He suddenly captured countless memory fragments of Corolin flashing away in the dream, and saw him in a daze.

"Teacher—" Cologne, wearing a long black coat, ran in from outside the Church of the Stars.

Rector stood outside the room, put a metal plate against Corolin's head, and said with a smile, "Stand up straight and see how much taller you have grown."

Rector lightly scratched a notch on the side of the door with a knife, marked it with the date, and said, "That's right, it's grown three centimeters taller."

"This is for you." A little girl handed a small flower to Cologne.

Coroline said, "Is it your gift? Thank you."

Rector said from a distance: "Colorin, it's time to go."

Corolin touched the little girl's head and said, "There will be a period later."

He carried the metal cannon on his back and walked with Rector on the endless grassland.

Rector: "Star Knight shouldn't accept gifts from people."

Coroline: "But teacher, it's just a flower."

Rector: "A flower is also a gift, you don't need to thank it."

Corolin smiled disapprovingly, and Rector said: "The teacher can't teach you much, now is the time to practice."

Corolin looked at Rector in astonishment, and Rector said, "From today onwards, you must leave me to explore this universe and learn what the world has taught you. The universe is your second teacher."

The scene changed, followed by scorching sun, sweat, shouting and pushing.

With a black metal cannon on his back in embarrassment, he pushed away the crowd and shouted towards the service window: "Help me find a team! Here is a special approval from Kyle Lei!"

Holding a glass of drink, the young Azeroth said to him, "Brother, how about a partner? I am also a recruit."

Corolin glanced at him and said, "Let me read the mercenary diary."

He stood in front of Tao, the golden light from the top of the Stars Sanctuary fell, and a strange voice echoed directly in his mind: "Kororin, you have passed the test, and the ancient god Tao will be your lifelong partner."

The giant black iron beast disintegrated in the golden light, turning into countless rotating fragments, and finally combined into a black gold bracelet, which was tied around his wrist.

In the golden palace of the Sphinx, the dark-skinned queen whispered in Cologne's ear: "You are the hero of this planet, thank you, Corollin."

Cologne glanced at her, raised his glass to her, and said, "I'm still young, this is what Star Knight should do."

The queen pressed a deep kiss on his lips, and whispered: "Sphinx will always remember your dedication and the glory you brought us."

On the female star, thousands of green leaves sway in the wind like rolling waves.

Cologne sat on a branch with a straw in her mouth and swayed gently. Rector walked up the tree trunk. Cologne handed out a bud and said, "Teacher, try this."

"Mother of Daughters likes you very much." Rector smiled, took the leaves, and chewed them in his mouth.

"Successful, Nolan, we succeeded." Cologne murmured, a dark gray planet was reflected in his pupils, countless red lights spread across its surface like spider webs, and the planet's surface cracked instantly.The dark red fire was as blazing as lava, and the energy reaction accumulated in the planet's core, and the furnace-like red chamber erupted.

The earth-shattering explosion, the continuous expansion of the planet, emitted a boundless hot wind, and Iszul burned blazingly in an instant, bursting out endless light and heat.

"I ignited a star." Cologne closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Nolan, have you seen it? I have completed the first step."

Tens of millions of meteorites and pitch-black stars are illuminated, and black mechs are criss-crossing in the light belt. Stop to appreciate his masterpiece. There is light and heat in the dark space of the universe. Under the illumination of Iszur Shines beautifully.

He personally planted the first plant on one of the planets, and after hundreds of years, the planet is full of greenery and thriving.

"Night Owl." Corolin said in a deep voice, "This will be our new home from now on. Send a message to everyone and ask them to come to Iszur."

Ye Xiao bowed and went to carry out the order, and the first batch of immigrants arrived in the Grip of Light not long after.

Aaron: "Your Majesty, three apprentice candidates have arrived, one is recommended by Poons Chamber of Commerce, the other is brought by the Pirate King Sauron, and the other is the wise man of the phantom star, whom Master Sang has taken a fancy to. candidate."

Coroline sat on the empty throne, with the relics of his personal guard in front of him.

"Aaron." Cologne said in a deep voice, "In what year did you come to the Grip of Light?"

Allen said, "The year of Light is 19172."

"The people who followed me to build this empire have all left me now." Cologne said, "Do you think there will be suitable apprentices this time?"

Allen said, "Your Majesty, you are too worried."

Corollin said: "I found that when I left the Temple of the Stars, I never met a pure person, and I never felt that kind of emotion... Let's talk about it in a few days and let them stay in New Phoenix. I will observe their dreams and see what kind of purpose they have."

Allen said: "Your Excellency Sauron hopes that you will consider keeping the candidate he recommended."

Coroline replied, "I see."

Under the bright starry sky, fireworks are in full bloom in front of the distant mountains, and the footsteps stop.

Corolin turned around, Opal's pupils shrank for a moment, and then he appeared a little dazed.

His expression was very complicated, his brows were frowned, as if he was at a loss for a moment, sad, sad, happy and desperate. Opal took a step forward, as if he wanted to hug Corolin, who raised his brows, not quite Understand his inner thoughts.

He cut into Opal's heart and read the brilliant light, just like the milky white distant star they were facing at this moment, it was a light that no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't get enough of it.

It shone into his heart within a second, without the slightest impurity, pure, hot and warm.

"Teacher!" Opal's voice rang in Corolin's mind.

Corolin suddenly regained his composure, the spaceship sounded a sharp alarm, the ground spun and rushed up, the small spaceship spewed out reverse propulsion flames, and crashed into the surface of the planet.

Opal opened his eyes and returned to the Nemesis. The entire aircraft carrier was calling the police non-stop. Everyone's pupils contracted, staring blankly at the distant star whose light had increased by more than one level.

"Isolne!" Opal shouted, "Leave this area!"

The red light inside the aircraft carrier filled every inch of space. Opal rushed to the bridge, closed all the visors, and kept shaking the navigator.

Isohn was the first to wake up and said, "I'll do it!"

Nemesis spewed out torrential propulsion flames, blowing the wreckage of the spaceship around the cemetery to pieces, drifting to the distance, and escaped from the range of the radio field of distant stars little by little.

Seven astronomical units away, finally eliminated the influence of distant star radio, Opal let out a sigh of relief, everyone collapsed on the seat as if waking up from a big dream.

Opal didn't care to talk to Isuo Endo any more, lay down on the swivel chair, and closed his eyes.

He returned to the surface of the distant star again, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness above. The spaceship was stuck in the gray-white quicksand, and a gust of wind blew up soft sand and gravel.

Corinne: "Are you okay?"

Opal: "Were you controlled by it just now, teacher?"

Corolin: "I just wanted to see the power of distant star radio, and I didn't stop for a while."

Opal: "What about now?"

Corollin: "Well now, it's consistent with my guess. This is a kind of thought induction, and the power of faith can effectively block its radio influence."

Opal heaved a sigh of relief, and found that they were surrounded by a faint black light, which was the shield of the power of faith. Cologne put on the belt of the spacesuit, opened the hatch, and pushed forward with one hand. The small spaceship emerged from the quicksand. rise slowly.

"We can't stay in this place for too long, the control center of the spaceship has been disrupted." Corollin said: "The signal device must be placed immediately."

Opal said, "What the hell is this place?"

Cologne looked up at the sky. Opal existed in Corollin's consciousness. As he cast his gaze to the zenith, countless gray and white translucent flocculent substances were flying.

Coroline held out a hand, and the floc passed through her fingers.

"I don't dare to meditate in this situation." Corinth said, "It's easy to fall into it again after removing the mental barrier. Let's act."

He walked to the distance, referring to the locator in his hand from time to time. The magnetic field of this planet is chaotic, and the direction can only be determined by the autobiographical speed. The radio signal collector is floating behind him.

During the Opal period, I returned to the mothership several times, and when I came back, I saw that Corolin had fixed the instruments at the poles of the distant star and turned on the energy.

This place is so weird, Opal has been guessing its origin, and Cologne bent down to check the instruments on the North Pole, and said: "I guess the distant stars come from the high-dimensional universe."

Opal said: "What do you think is flying in the sky?"

Corollin said: "Maybe it is the soul in the five-dimensional world, just like the magic blue fluorite of the magic star."

Opal vaguely thought of a possibility. If Corolin's guess is correct, then this place should be the cemetery of the Phantom Starman.

"Go back to the Nemesis and send out the tractor light." Cologne frowned and said, "The spaceship's positioning system has failed."

The signal collectors at the north and south poles were activated at the same time, humming and lighting up, and the fluffy gray-white wind on the zenith accelerated.

Opal opened his eyes again, and said, "The task is completed. Ishorn, get ready to pull the beam."

Ithorn: "Close to the far star, ready to launch a tractor beam."

In the dead silence in the control cabin, Opal read the navigator's thinking and knew one thing - the radio of the distant star has been enhanced!

The previous positioning of the tractor beam is no longer applicable to the current situation, and the scope of influence has been further expanded. To pull Kolorin back, he must approach the shipwreck cemetery and directly enter the envelope of radio.

And once they enter, everyone on the Nemesis will be affected and become a member of the sunken ship.

Isohn said, "Get closer now! Your Majesty is still on the planet!"

"No." Opal said, "Don't get close."

He jumped up from the swivel chair and said, "Prepare a medium-sized spaceship. You don't need to send anyone. Let me drive it. The tractor will be moved to the spaceship. I will leave the Nemesis and bring the teacher back."

"Quick! Get ready!" Opal shouted.

Isohn was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and gave the order. Opal ran across the bridge, and several mechanics were ready to teach him how to use the tractor beam.

He waited anxiously. At this time, there was no way to continue contacting Corolin. He was still waiting on the distant star, and he didn't know what Corin was thinking at this time.

Will he feel abandoned?Opal couldn't help thinking that Isohn ordered someone to dismantle the tractor beam generator. This process would take a long time, and the time passed by. Opal waited restlessly on the tarmac.

Three hours later, after the installation was complete, Opal took four pilot robots onto the medium-sized spaceship, lifted off the mothership, and approached the distant star.

He was lying in the cab, looking nervously at the planet. The panorama of distant stars was presented in front of his eyes, like a smooth pearl on a dark velvet curtain.

"Teacher." Opal closed his eyes.

Cologne was sitting by the porthole of the small spaceship beside the gravel, smoking a cigarette, looking up at the sky, and smiling.

"A breakdown?" Corolin asked, "Why is it taking so long?"

Opal: "The radio frequency of the distant star is enhanced, and the Nemesis cannot approach. Now I will leave the mothership and extradite you back."

Corolin: "Your power of faith is too weak to resist the distant star radio."

Opal: "Try it, I think it should work."

Corolin: "No, I'll give you a task, go back now, adjust the signal receiving device over there, go back to the Grip of Light to set up, prepare for war, contact the great lord of the phantom star 'La', let him come here Come save me."

Opal: "What if he has nothing to do?"

"There will be." Cologne replied: "This is their cemetery, he must have a way."

Opal said: "Try it, at worst, even I will fall together."

Corolin: "The power of the distant star's radio is too strong, and it has a repulsive reaction. The radio ability is still increasing. I feel that it is trying to assimilate me. My belief barrier can't resist it for too long..."

Opal said, "I'm about to enter the radio field."

Coroline: "No, listen to me, Opal..."

Opal: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm in! Give me your place!"

Opal pushed the joystick and entered the radio field. In front of Yuan Xing, his pupils were slightly slack, and a desire and longing occupied his heart.

Corolin immediately jumped into the spaceship, closed the hatch, closed his eyes, and shouted: "Opal!"

Opal stared blankly at the distant star outside the porthole. Its electric waves invaded his mind like a messy signal, and then made all his memories approach the same frequency with a buzzing sound, which kept vibrating in his soul. .

The man with a familiar face, resembling both Raymond and Cologne, smiled at Opal and said, "Opal, I love you."

"I love you." Opal murmured.

Cororin: "Opal, hold on! Turn on the tractor beam!"

Opal's consciousness is fuzzy, and only Corolin's face is in his mind.

Corollin: "Take me back, Opal, wake up, what you have to do now is take me back."

Opal trembled for a moment, his consciousness regained consciousness for a short time, he pressed the switch, and the traction beam was projected towards the distant star. In the spiritual world, roaring fire and lava erupted, submerged his consciousness, and the flames converged into the body of Corolin. Pounce on the soul of Opal.

He was like a helpless child, standing on the dark rocky ground, stretched out a hand, and the flames rolled up, and Coroline held his fingers.

The tractor beam swept across the surface of the distant star, finally found his position, and caged the small battleship.

When Opal opened his eyes again, Cororin's battleship was flying towards him. He smiled at Opal in the cockpit and said, "Well done, Opal."

Opal was in a trance, his face was full of tears, crying like a child under the cover of radio, he felt a familiar smell, as if an invisible person was holding him, gently stroking his head with one hand, and kissing him lips.

The battleship entered the medium-sized spaceship, and the power of a dark faith expelled the radio field of the far star. Corolin picked him up and held him in his arms.Opal buried his face on Cologne's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably, and looked sideways at the distant star emitting white light. After Cologne left, the light of the distant star dimmed and restored its original radio intensity.

Cologne covered Opal's eyes with one hand, and whispered: "It's over, return to the voyage."

After three days:

The soldiers in the aircraft carrier were busy coming and going, and Cologne and Opal stood on the tarmac, and the soldiers put several receivers on the spacecraft.

"After you go back, you have full authority to decide domestic affairs." Corolin said: "You can travel anywhere in the Iszul galaxy. I rebuilt this great sword for you."

Opal said, "What about you?"

Corollin said: "I will go to the Carina to try to steal Tao back."

Opal: "!!!"

Corollin said: "The Holy See Galaxy is too dangerous, I absolutely cannot take you there this time."

Opal really wanted to go. He had never been to the Holy See of the Stars in Carina. It is said that it was a religious country and belonged to the territory of the autonomous province of the empire. idea.

Opal said, "Are you sure Tao is there?"

Corolin and Opal, one big and one small, sat side by side on the box next to the hangar. Corolin said: "There are only two possibilities for the existence of Glutton, one is in the hands of Legerson, and the other is in the hands of Rector. In addition, they are not at ease no matter where they hide it, I guess it is very likely in the hands of Legason, and he will ask the Pope to keep it for him."

Opal: "You want to go to the Pope and steal it?"

Cologne thought for a while and said, "If you're lucky, I do have this plan, but I'm not prepared to take risks, so I won't take you there."

Opal said: "What am I going to do after returning to the Grip of Light?"

Corolin: "Everyone will listen to your command. Of course, you can also do nothing and let them solve it by themselves. When there are major decisions, Allen will ask for your instructions and listen to your opinions. Your opinions represent me. Views."

Opal: "But I don't know how to govern a country."

Holding the coffee, Corolin smiled and shrugged: "I didn't know it at first, but I will gradually."

Opal had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Oh, yes."

Corolin said: "You can walk around the planet at will, take a look at the empire I built, meet some friends, go on vacation, but don't be too lax, and don't provoke Rector, he probably doesn't know you yet Don't mobilize the army and take any unrealistic actions. Don't try to drive him away with warships, and don't expose our secret weapons prematurely."

Opal said: "Okay..."

Opal felt a little bit reluctant, and Corolin felt it, and said, "You have always been obedient, and I am very satisfied with you, but you should leave me for a while."

Opal looked sullen and didn't answer. The spaceship was ready and the soldiers were waiting in line.

Cologne led Opal over there, sent him to the front of the spaceship, lifted the lapel of the black royal robe, knelt down on one knee, and kissed Opal's face.

"The teacher will be back soon." Corolin said, "Goodbye, Opal."

Opal's face turned red in an instant, and he reluctantly bid farewell to Cororin, boarded the spaceship, left the Nemesis, and flew to Iszur.

Corolin stood in front of the long transparent deck bridge, watching the spaceship leave, holding a glass of wine.

Isohn said: "Your Majesty, I request your next instructions."

Coroline was silent.

After a long time, Isohn said again: "We currently have two destinations to choose from. One is to go to the Carina Sea."

Cologne shook his head, as if he was thinking about a decision, and Isohn said again: "The second is to go to the area twenty light-years away from the silver-gray galaxy."

Corollin said: "No, the order is now, and the Nemesis is on standby in the triad galaxy 72 light-years away from the Grip of Light."

Isohn frowned slightly and asked, "This..."

Kolorin said: "Change all the previous military plans, notify Andore and Caesar, and let their motherships all gather on the outskirts of the Iszur galaxy."

At the same time, the periphery of Iszur.

Rector stood in the center of the dragon ray space, and said to the huge control crystal emitting blue light: "I saw that Coronne's Nemesis came back, but the power of faith told me that he was not on the mothership."

Legison took a deep breath and said in the communicator: "I'm still waiting for the pope to meet you. You can ask Opal where Corolin has gone."

Rector did not answer, and said after a long time: "Leggason, you have to remove Opal's memory barrier, his original consciousness is being suppressed by another obsession from the abyss, and it is getting harder and harder for me to contact him. "

Legison said: "Let him hold on for a while, Corolin ignited the fire of belief in his external memory world, which belongs to another person... I believe he can hold on until the end of the war."

Rector said: "You can tell me now, Legerson, where did you get the memory you created for him?"

"Ah... that's another person's experience, maybe it can be said to be personality... from our last undercover agent who failed... Aurora Falcon, when I first cut off Aurora Falcon's memory, I left such a small piece , just to be used by Opal, but everything is not important now." Legison said slowly: "The Pope wants to receive me, teacher, what should I say?"

Rector whispered: "Don't lie in front of Drummond, tell him everything about Corolin."
