The Star Knight - 124. Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four

“I never thought he was the Pope…” Opal whispered towards Raymond across the table: “It doesn’t seem to be Sidda.”

Raymond’s fork twirled between his fingers, his face seemed to be thinking, and after a moment he asked, “Did he arrange accommodation for you?”

Opal pointed to the distance and said, “Let me live in the Forgotten Corridor, and I am alone. I asked him if he could let you over, and he said yes, but you can only go in during the day and go back to the dormitory at night. .”

Opal and Raymond are each arranged in different places, Raymond said: “Let’s watch the changes.”

Opal said: “He also asked me to call him “Your Majesty”, I wonder if the shepherd is also in the grip of Xuanguang now.”

Raymond said: “I just contacted Iszul and the teacher in the Ringwind Galaxy when I went to go through the formalities.”

Opal said: “How to say?”

Raymond said: “I contacted in your name. Cororin is not on the Grip of the Xuanguang, and has not yet returned. The shepherd is already in the Meteorite Palace.”

Opal asked again: “What did the teacher run to the ring wind? Didn’t he plan to stay in the administrative star province of Alex?”

Raymond said: “He went to find someone named Justin Rodman…”

“Uncle!” Opal surprised.

Raymond nodded and said, “After we were in the White Falcon Star last time, the empire may have been instructed by the upper echelons to let Justin enter the military system.”

Opal narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly.

Raymond asked: “When will your homework start? Am I following you?”

Opal suddenly remembered, glanced at the time, and said, “Well, the time is coming soon, hurry up.”

After Raymond had lunch in two or three bites, the two quickly walked through the garden. When they passed the forgotten promenade, the pace of Opal slowed down and came to a door.

“This is his study.” Opal whispered to Raymond.

Raymond nodded, opened the door for him, and saw Drummond sitting in a large velvet armchair. Opal said, “Sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time, Your Majesty.”

Gleibini said indifferently: “It doesn’t matter, tens of thousands of years have passed, not less than a few minutes. Let’s start today’s class.”

Opal nodded, and Gleibini said: “You can sit as you please, be more comfortable, don’t be too restrained. What are you doing standing there?”

Leimen bowed, consciously closed the study door, and stood outside as a guard.

Opal looked around. The study was decorated in a classical style. He thought of Tifeng and the prophet’s library he had mentioned.

“I have a lot of questions for you, sir.” Opal walked to the table by the window, where there was a coffee pot with only one cup.

In the study, large and small crystal balls are suspended by anti-gravity technology. Each crystal ball is filled with water. The spherical goldfish bowl contains one or more goldfish, reflecting the brilliant sunlight.

Gleibini said, “That’s what I prepared for you.”

Opal looked up at the goldfish bowl and asked, “Let someone bring another cup in?”

Grebbini said, “No, I don’t drink coffee, I’ll drink medicine later.”

Opal’s heart moved, drink medicine? Cororin also mentioned earlier that the Pope’s time is running out… Will he die? But according to Reckett, the soul of this person is truly indestructible, and the weakness of the body is just a matter of changing his body.

Gleibini yawned and said, “Draw a card, compare the size, and ask who wins.”

Opal: “…”

Opal thought that this was indeed his style, so he drew a card in the past, Opal drew a K, and Glebeini drew 2.

Opal said: “Sir, I want to ask about the wheel of time…”

Glebini: “No, 2 is bigger than King. When playing thirteen cards, 2 is the biggest. I’ll ask you.”

Opal was dumbfounded and said: “Okay.”

Gleibine said: “Did Cororin mention a prince named Ignatius? What did you say?”

Opal: “!!!”

He did not expect that Gleibini would ask questions so straightforwardly. After thinking for a long time, he replied: “Teacher, he… thinks Nolan is his mentor, he exists to pursue the truth in the universe… makes me think think……”

Opal told Gleibini what he had mentioned about Nolan when he was living with Cololin. The pope just closed his eyes and listened. His frail juvenile figure was shrunk in the blanket, and the sunlight poured in from the window, shining on him, making him extremely thin.

Opal said: “Probably that’s it.”

Gleibini didn’t speak, as if he was asleep.

Opal: “…”

“Your Majesty?” Opal felt like he was being played.

Gleibini opened his eyes wearily, and said, “You know less than I thought.”

Opal is speechless.

Glebini yawned and scratched his neck boringly. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. A bishop wearing glasses and a golden robe pushed in, with a silver bowl in his hand, and said : “Your Majesty, take medicine.”

Opal saw the dark green potion in the bowl, just like the body fluid of a sour beast, Gleibini held the bowl with one hand, and his eyes motioned to opal to draw a card.

“By the time I asked.” Opal holds a Q, and the Pope’s card is 7.

The pope drank the medicine, handed the silver bowl to the bishop, and nodded.

I don’t know why, Opal glanced at the bishop and changed his question. He wanted to ask about his father, but there were others beside him. He didn’t want to discuss it in front of others, and said: “The pastor The same surname as you?”

“Yes.” Gleibini showed admiration in his eyes, and nodded: “In a sense, he is my adopted son, or he would have become another me, but the timing was wrong, and he met him at the time. There was another incident that forced me to get out and leave without occupying his body, so in the end I adopted him.”

Opal nodded slowly. He remembered that Reckett said that Pope Drummond’s life continued in different bodies. According to his understanding, this continuation should be to cultivate a fetus and enter the body of the fetus…

The archbishop bowed and said goodbye. After leaving, Opal remembered the question just now and said: “The teacher didn’t tell me anything, he knows a lot.”

Glebini touched a sugar cube and put it in his mouth, and said, “Cololin? I suspect that he knows almost nothing about what he is about to do. He just persistently uses force, sabotage and other means to solve all problems. …”

Opal said: “No, no, your majesty, I think the teacher’s faith is stronger than anyone else…”

Glebini said: “Faith is something of the Star Knights. Only Recht believes in this stuff. Even Ignat, the founder of Star Knights, has never mentioned the word’belief’. It is only five-dimensional. The soul in the world is just a projection in our branch universe. Are you sure there is such a thing in the world?”

Opal: “Yes…I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

Gleibini said: “Forget it, if you say yes, then there is the next question.”

Opal said: “Wait, can you explain it in detail?”

Grebbini said, “Wait, I will answer your questions when it’s your turn.”

The two drew cards, and Opal asked.

He raised the most important question of the trip.

“My father is called Logan.” Opal said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know if you still remember him, he is related to the Wheel of Time.”

“Remember.” Gleibini said: “Others may be forgotten, but I always remember about the wheel of time. You are Logan’s son, and Cololin sent me a gift in five years. A letter. Mentioned your life experience. I think why you were discovered by Cololin, this should be a very interesting story.”

Opal said: “The teacher also wants to ask this question, where is the Wheel of Time now?”

Gleibini shook his head.

Opal asked again: “What mission did it start with? Is it just exploration?”

Gleibini closed his eyes and said after a long time: “It can be said, to explore the origin and meaning of our existence in this world.”

Opal said: “I know that it brought back the magic star when it first returned. What does this have to do with the star knight? Everything the teacher did not tell me, is it related to the magic star? They are from the five dimensions. Spatial?”

“Yes.” Grebbini said: “Strictly speaking, the world where the Phantom Star is located was originally a four-dimensional universe almost the same as ours. It is one of many parallel universes. You can assume that In another mirrored universe, there are some people like us. Their time passes faster than this universe, and their history is longer. They slowly evolve, and finally become magic stars without a body but only a soul.”

Opal narrowed his eyes and asked, “What then? How much do you know about the Wheel of Time and the migration of the Magic Stars?”

Glebini snapped his fingers and said: “Then, these intelligent beings began to explore the five-dimensional world. In the process, some changes occurred. They wandered in the gap between the four-dimensional and the five-dimensional. They were found by the wheel of time and brought them along. Back to our universe.”

Opal nodded, keenly aware that his father’s third exploration must be related to this incident, and asked: “What happened?”

Gleibini fell silent suddenly and winked at Opal.

Opal: “?”

Someone is eavesdropping?

There were only two of them in the study, and Raymond was standing outside, and Opal’s heart was beating, and I felt that Glebeini’s behavior seemed to have some deep meaning.

However, before he allowed him to think about it, Gleibini said: “I will give you a homework. There are three questions in it. Take it back and think about it. Of course, you can also ask your guards for help. When answering this question, I think you will understand many things.”

Opal knows, there must be some kind of eavesdropping mechanism here, even Gleibini is inconvenient to say more, but who can install a bug in the Pope’s study? Is it so serious already?

He nodded thoughtfully, and Gleibini said, “The first question, there is a group of monkeys living in a greenhouse with special restrictions…”

Opal: “?”

Glebini: “?”

Opal heard a noun that he had never touched before and asked: “What is a monkey?”

Gleibini: “…”

“The monkey is…” Gleibinny was a little hard to say, and then changed his words: “There is a bunch of Pohms.”

“Oh.” Opal said.

Grebbini said: “Forget it, use monkeys. There is a group of monkeys living in a greenhouse. They can eat the food produced in the greenhouse every day. It is not too rich, but it can barely survive.”

Opal nodded slowly, and Gleibini said: “And the rule of this greenhouse is: You can only go out, you can’t enter. After leaving the greenhouse, the outside world may be a desert, or it may be a richer, more extensive orchard. Of course there may be nothing. The monkeys don’t know what’s outside. Sometimes monkeys leave the greenhouse, but without exception, they never come back.”

Opal asked: “Do monkeys know this rule?”

“Very good…” Gleibini said with hypnotic dreams in his voice, “They don’t know any rules of the greenhouse area itself, or even why the boundaries of the greenhouse exist. They only know one thing-leave. The companion in the greenhouse disappeared.”

Opal grumbled, and Gleibini said again: “This is the perspective of monkeys, but from the perspective of us, the experimenter, there is a wider living space outside, and there is no need to worry about any danger. Suppose you are a monkey. One of you, you know this from a certain way. What method do you think is needed to make monkeys live a better and happier life? Is it necessary to do this? And the motivation for doing so. This is first question.”

Opal: “…”

“Second question.” Gleibini asked, “Do you believe that humans have souls?”

Opal nodded and said: “Believe.”

Gleibini said: “What is the soul, answer me now, don’t use Cololin to teach you, use your own understanding to tell me.”

Opal thought for a while, and said: “The soul is formed from birth and gradually formed…I think it is the sign that a person is different from another individual. It is the spirit of independent existence of a person.”

Grebbini said: “Then do you think animals have souls? For example, a monkey.”

Opal said: “I still don’t know what a monkey is.”

Gleibini: “That’s not important, like a pome?”

Opal said: “Should… yes? Yes.”

Grebbini said again: “So a bird?”

Opal: “Yes, of course birds do.”

Glebini: “Does the earthworm have its soul? Or ants, insects?”

Opal: “…”

“It seems…yes.” Opal said, “Do ants have brains? They can think and move things, yes, what about earthworms? I don’t know, Your Majesty.”

Opal remembered the earthworms that once attacked him and Raymond. The earthworms seem to know something. There are always differences between one earthworm and the other. If two earthworms are copied, then there are two copies. Ontology? impossible.

He simply defined the soul, saying: “Everything that has life has a soul.”

Gleibini asked, “What about the microorganisms?”

Opal was stunned.

Grebbini said, “What about the virus?”

Opal: “…”

Grebbini said: “It’s too far, and now I ask you the second question-when does a person have his own soul?”

Opal also knows a little about the formation of life from the knowledge it has learned before. However, this question seems to be more complicated. Is it the first second that the newborn is leaving the mother and entering the world? So what about the babies in the incubation cabin? Open your eyes to see the first moment in this world? It seems not quite right.

Is it the moment when the sperm and the egg become a fertilized egg?

No, the fertilized egg was not conscious at that time.

“The third question.” Gleibini spreads his fingers apart and touches each other in front of him, thinking thoughtfully: “Human life is made of carbon.”

Opal said: “Yes, I know this. Carbon-based life is the most common form of life in the universe.”

Gleibini moved his fingers slightly and asked, “Why is it that carbon-based gives us the wisdom to think about all of this, and nothing else?”

Opal said: “This…because the number of outer electrons of carbon… only four? It can interact with many elements…”

Gleibini interrupted Opal’s explanation and asked: “Why is the number of outer electrons in carbon four?”

Opal said: “It was created when the universe took shape…”

Glebini said again: “Atoms, electrons, molecules, photons, they all have their own characteristics and laws.”

Opal said: “Yes, rules!”

Glebini: “Why is there such a complicated law that makes the world just start in this way, and then evolve in this way, and eventually multiply a life as complicated as a human being?”

Opal: “!!!”

Glebini said: “Where do the laws come from? They existed in this world from the very beginning? Four basic forces restrict the operation of all particles. These rules are produced naturally? Sociology, economics, Physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc…Why do these complex laws exist?”

Opal said: “The law is actually summed up by people.”

Gleibini said: “But even if no one sums it up, these laws still exist.”

Opal: “…”

“Yes.” Opal suddenly felt a little tingling scalp.

“Three questions, take it back and think about it.” Gleibini said: “I believe you will soon know what your father thought.”
