The Star Knight - 130. Chapter One Hundred and Thirty
“Raymond?” Opal said: “Raymond!”
Raymond immediately pushed the door in. Opal held Gleibini, turned his head and glanced at Raymond, his eyes were full of complex emotions.
Raymond walked quickly to Glebein’s side and knelt down on one knee and checked the side of his neck. Glebein had stopped breathing.
“How did you die?” Raymond asked in a low voice.
Opal shook his head and said, “Suddenly he died.”
Raymond said: “Did you die?”
Opal said: “I don’t think… he wanted to tell me something at the last moment… what should I do now?”
Andis opened the door and came in. The two of them were startled and turned their heads at the same time.
He pushed his glasses, came over and picked up the Pope carefully, Opal and Raymond consciously stepped back and gave up their positions. Andis wrapped the pope in a blanket and said, “Wait a moment here, I will notify the other archbishops.”
He hurried away, leaving only Opal. The bodies of Raymond and Gleibini were in the study. Raymond said: “The teacher asked you to protect him.”
Opal said: “How to protect? If you say you die, you will die…I can’t even read his consciousness. The last sentence before death is…”
Raymond said immediately: “Don’t say it.”
Opal licked his lips and thought of the pope’s life form. He said: “We have to protect that baby. Maybe he has entered the baby’s body.”
Raymond said: “Don’t go now, wait until everyone is there.”
A moment later, the seven archbishops all arrived and bowed to the pope’s body with a special courtesy. 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 cultivating cabin. It was close to the size of a fully grown newborn, with life data flashing on the light screen.
Raymond asked them: “What are you going to do now?”
“Complete the Nirvana ritual.” An archbishop said: “Waiting for the resurrection of the holy boy.”
Opal used the power of faith to read the hearts of all the archbishops, and found that what they thought in their hearts, the only thought was the fetus in the training cabin, not even any distracting thoughts. Opal has always suspected that there are spies ambushed by the empire among the archbishops, but it is impossible for the pope to take any countermeasures and let spies do whatever they want under his nose.
Opal was prepared for a sudden situation, and even thought of the plan to break the nutrition cabin and take it out when the holy boy woke up. However, several people stood quietly in the hall, and time passed by. The fetus in the culture fluid never reacted.
Opal exudes the power of belief to perceive the fetus. It has no soul, let alone inner thoughts, just like an object.
After an hour passed, the archbishops were a little uneasy. Opal glanced at Raymond, and Raymond asked, “I thought the Saint Boys would… at least a little bit of movement?”
“Yes.” Ames’ thick voice trembled a little, and said: “If everything goes well, the holy boy has woken up as it is now.”
Opal turned his head to look at him, and asked: “What will happen when I wake up?”
No one answered, Ames flexed his fingers before his nose, and Opal instantly cut into his heart with the power of faith, and read a flashing fragment-Ledgerson.
Two hours later, the bishops were almost certain that something serious had happened.
“Rix, Andes.” Ames said, “What did your Majesty say before he died?”
“Have this happened before?” Raymond said first.
“Yes.” A red-haired archbishop said: “Your Majesty occasionally…”
Several bishops gestured with their eyes. The red-haired archbishop glanced at Raymond, and Ames said: “Who was there when your Majesty died, Andes?”
Andis looked at Opal from behind the glasses.
Opal said: “He didn’t say anything, just the normal teaching…and he said…and died.”
Ames said: “What content.”
Opal cleverly circled around and said: “I have the right to keep the matter of the meteorite a secret for His Majesty Kolorin.”
After a long period of silence, time seemed to pass very slowly. The last time Raymond looked at the time, four hours had passed since the death of the Pope.
“Let’s go.” The red-haired archbishop said: “The two guests, please go back and rest first. We need to discuss countermeasures.”
Andis said: “I think both Opal and Raymond need to be present. His Majesty had this meaning during his lifetime. He invited Opal to participate in the resurrection ceremony of the holy boy.”
Ames said: “There is no record of the conversation, Andis, be cautious, and this matter does not require Meteor guests to intervene, recall the pastor, so as to avoid new changes in the situation.”
Opal said: “Wait, I’m a bit unclear. His Majesty Drummond’s death is a rebirth, right? He’s not here, could he go somewhere else?”
The bishops did not answer, and Ames said in a nutshell: “Yes. Now, leaving here, you are just guests of Your Majesty. When Your Majesty is not present, I have the right to enforce the law and order of the Great Temple.”
Ames issued a eviction order, but Opal and Raymond could only come out, and an archbishop brought the door.
When they left the study, Ames said: “The sanctuary is blocked. Please wait in the monks and soldiers’ lounge for the two of you. Forty-eight hours later, no matter what happens, you will give your Majesty Coralin an explanation.”
Two monks and soldiers came over and made a gesture of invitation. The bishops issued an order to chase away their guests, and Opal and Raymond had to leave the Star Palace.
The Great Sanctuary was completely sealed off. Opal looked around from time to time. Raymond knew what he was thinking and whispered: “If you can’t lose it, find a place to talk and organize the news.”
Opal returned to Raymond’s dormitory, and the two of them sat and stood one by one.
Opal said: “There is no way at all. He didn’t explain anything.”
Raymond asked: “Now I can say, what is his last word?”
Opal said: “We were still talking about the third question before…” He glanced at Raymond suddenly, thinking of an absurd possibility, could it be the consciousness of the stars that killed Glebeini? If so, why are you okay?
Still not telling Raymond this paragraph, Opal skipped the question about the five-dimensional world and said to Raymond: “The last sentence is’Entrust the pastor to you’.”
Raymond said: “Ames mentioned that the shepherd will be recalled. He wants to use the shepherd to stabilize the situation?”
Opal had to admit that the position of the pastor at this moment was of utmost importance, but since he has already gone to Iszul, the pope should be aware of the dangers the pastor may encounter.
He thought for a long time, and said: “The Archbishop has internal support from the Rotman family.”
Raymond snorted, frowned and thought, and said, “Who do you think it will be?”
Opal said: “I think the monk named Ames is most likely.”
Raymond said: “I think it might not be him.”
Opal said: “He proposed to recall the pastor. If he can guess the pope’s mind, he shouldn’t do this. The first thing to do is to protect the personal safety of the pastor.”
Raymond was silent for a long time, and then said: “Perhaps he needs to stabilize the situation? If news of the death of the Pope comes out, will Ledgerson return to the church immediately…”
Opal only feels that the current situation is really messy, and the most troublesome thing is their lack of intelligence.
“You have to gather information.” Opal said: “The Pope’s soul is still there. This is for sure, because he told me that he was hiding in a curly dimension.”
Raymond: “?”
Opal: “It’s just a…a slit in the world, he is not dead, I can confirm. Do you want to ask the teachers for help?”
Raymond turned on the communicator and found that Reckett’s location was “unconnectable”. He said: “Try to contact Cololin in your dreams. I’m responsible for asking for information.”
Opal said: “Let’s find the Dragon Ray, and the Dragon Ray will be at ease on our side.”
At night, there was an atmosphere like a big enemy everywhere, Opal ate with great heart, Raymond went out alone, Opal lay down on the bed, hoping to find Coralin in his 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 dark.
E7 and Xiao Q light up at the same time, Opal said: “What time is it?”
At four o’clock in the evening, Raymond hadn’t returned yet, Opal turned over and got out of bed, ran out of the dormitory living room, drank a glass of water, Raymond said in his earrings: “Opal, the whole church is under martial law, I can’t enter. Go to the Star Map Hall, and Ames is guarding heavily in front of the forbidden area of the temple.”
Opal said: “I didn’t contact Cololin, he seemed to be missing… Damn it.”
Raymond said: “The dragon rays did not listen to my call, and the shepherd seemed to have returned, because when I just passed by the Star Palace, I saw a small flying shuttle and people in the Meteor Empire military uniform.”
Opal said: “Who is it?”
Raymond: “I can’t see clearly at night.”
Opal said: “You continue to think of ways, I will go to the Star Palace to have a look.”
Raymond: “Be careful about everything.”
Opal: “Don’t worry.”
The two cut off communication, and Opal said to E7: “You two stay here, and you can’t go out no matter what happens.”
The top light of E7 dinged, Opal opened the door. At this moment, the outside of the monk’s hall was empty and there was no one. He walked quickly across the corridor and opened the door leading to the central part of the Great Sanctuary.
There were many people standing inside, most of them monks and soldiers wearing imperial uniforms.
“Who?” Someone immediately found Opal.
Opal noticed that the man’s rank was a colonel, and said: “It’s nothing, I am the 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, he closed the door with the power of faith and made a muffled noise.
The people in the hall looked sideways. The timing of the automatic closing of the side door was just right, and it seemed that the officer himself closed it. The officer himself did not notice that the two were separated from the hall. When he was about to ask, it was Opal’s belief. The force instantly impacted, causing him to faint to the ground.
This road could no longer be taken, Opal turned back to the monk’s hall, looked up at the twinkling stars on the circular dome, and recalled the moment when Glebni had taken himself along this road.
He immediately understood the deep meaning of Glebeini’s winking eyebrows when he arrived in the Kingdom of Arc of Light 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 fingerprint.
opened!
All the hidden passages in the monk’s hall were opened, and Opal closed in turn, followed the road three days ago to enter the gallery, and then into the garden. The path was already full of heavily guarded robots. Opal held his breath and returned to the gallery to try Go another way.
I tried one by one. One of the roads was an underground staircase. Opal walked up the stairs quickly, and heard the voice of a person behind a door-it was a man.
“Cololin’s temper is much calmer than before.” The man’s voice said: “But for that guy, there is not much to look forward to in life itself. You know his character, old-fashioned, stubborn, and hostile. The emotions are very strong.”
“Excuse me.” Caesar said in a strong voice: “Your Excellency and Your Majesty Coralin are old acquaintances?”
“Very good friend.” The man said: “I don’t want to interfere with his actions against the Holy See. I just come back to get something that should belong to me.”
Who is this person? ! Opal frowned alertly, he had never heard the man’s voice. The other mentioned Cororin and called him “Your Majesty.” Should he be the one who brought the shepherd back? ! It’s a member of the Meteorite Legion!
[Hello, I am Opal. ] Opal’s voice sounded in the other person’s mind: [Who is he? 】
The man’s face changed slightly, but he did not act too surprised, and replied in his mind: [His Royal Highness Opal? I know you, I’m Fellow, a colonel of the Intelligence Department of the 13th Army Ground Force, under the direct control of Major General Allen, but the situation is not clear, I am just playing his words. 】
Opal: [Where is the teacher? 】
Fellow: [The four generals thought that your Majesty was with you! It has been a long time since he sent a message back to Iszul. 】
Opal: [Where is the pastor? 】
Fellow: [The pastor received a communication from Lord Ramos and insisted on returning to the Kingdom of Arc of Light. Your Majesty is not in Iszul. 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. 】
Opal: “!!!”
[Fei Luo, don’t act rashly. ] Opal Road: [No matter what happens, don’t do anything with them, remember! 】
Opal ran out of the dark tunnels, tried the passages one by one, and finally opened a mechanism and entered the corridor outside the Star Temple.
Opal followed the corridor in, music came, and the voice was magnificent and solemn, echoing throughout the side hall, Ledgerson turned his back.
“Welcome to the hall of stars, dear Opal.” The music stopped and Ledgerson said: “We meet again.”
Opal stopped and said, “Ledgerson, what are you doing here?”
Ledgerson said: “Modify a person’s memory, let me guess, it was Colonn who asked you to interfere with my actions?”
Opal said: “I am here to protect the Pope at the orders of Teacher Reckett and Cololin.”
Ledgerson said: “He is dead. He has lived for too long and finally found his destination. This is a good thing for him. He finally got his wish. I guess he doesn’t even want to be born again. What do you think? Poor?”
Opal noticed that the shepherd was lying on the pope’s throne, with his head up a little later, his eyes closed, he invaded his mind with the power of faith and read many complex memory fragments, but the next moment, Ledgerson said: “Nosy is not a good habit, Opal.”
In an instant, the two forces of faith confronted each other, and the opal was hit by the volley and flew out of the garden.
