The Star Knight - 148. Chapter One Hundred Forty Eight

Opal greeted an unfamiliar adventurer who took off his hat, his expression was a little weird, and he took off his hat in return.

“You don’t need to see everyone doing this.” Raymond laughed and cried.

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

Raymond was full of black lines and turned on the VIP inquiry machine.

“Special files, please perform three-layer verification of fingerprints, genes and pupils.”

Raymond pressed his finger, passed the genetic and fingerprint verification, and moved his eyes to scan again, with a beep.

“Synchronization is complete, please operate.” Electronic soundtrack.

Colonel Shakes.

Level: [Hidden. 】

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

Entrusted publisher: Kartes.

Opal: “…”

Raymond looked at an adventurer badge in his hand over and over again. Its surface has been polished and the color is not visible. It looks like a product many years ago. Raymond finally pressed it on the security lock and opened a map. .

Above is a map of the local abyss of King’s Wharf, like a huge whirlpool.

[The Abyss of Destiny, the defensive base of the King’s Wharf in the Dark Ages, has 17 floors. Legend has it that only a few people have entered the lowest level. The tenth floor is extremely dangerous. There are samples of animals and plants from multiple planets. Twelve The first floor is the ultimate battlefield ruins. The fifteenth floor is said to contain magic blue fluorite, and the sixteenth floor is unknown. After the end of the Glorious Battle, it was completely blocked by the presidium of the Greater Astronautical Association. 】

“Let’s look at the badge.” Opal took the badge. The surface has been polished, and the color is not visible, it looks like a plum blossom, and it is vaguely with 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 Cololin into his adventurer’s manual, and left side by side with Opal. Opal thought for a while and said: “He was a mercenary before. For so many years, the universe I have definitely not gone anywhere, but it was just a B-level or a C-level I forgot…”

Raymond said: “With his ability, at least he can be an S, if he is serious about Liexing.”

“Yeah.” Opal thoughtfully said: “But I don’t think he likes Lie Xing very much, or he can’t integrate into it, the teacher said. He might have stayed longer in the Aerospace Association… …”

Opal feels that Korolin’s temperament is more like an adventurer, sinister and old, spying in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to take action… It is really a headache to be an enemy of this guy, fortunately not yet.

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

“Is there any condition?” Opal frowned.

Raymond said: “He promised not to embarrass me with very troublesome things. Now it is the second one. Go to the bottom of the abyss and find something.”

Opal always felt a little dangerous, and asked: “Why didn’t he continue to go deeper?”

Raymond said: “Who knows? It may be because of some difficulties or special events that caused him to give up his intention to stay in the Greater Astronautical Association… Compared with this, I am more curious about what is hidden at the bottom. It will be Horius’ tomb, or…”

Opal said: “Go ask Douglas.”

Nearly two hours have passed since the incident that Sen and them agreed. It can be seen that the chairman of the China Aerospace Association is not a punctual guy.

King’s Conference Hall on the second floor.

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

The atmosphere is unspeakable embarrassment.

Opal said: “Chairman, is it convenient to speak now?”

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

“Adventurer Opal, Raymond.” Raymond introduced himself: “You ask Sen to call us up at half past two.”

Douglas nodded slowly. Opal really lost to him. He had met on the planet Jinyao not long ago, and he forgot when he turned around… No, he didn’t forget.

Opal saw the sly look in Douglas’s eyes and vaguely noticed something.

“Please sit down,” Douglas said.

Raymond and Opal took their seats, and Douglas said to the two soldiers: “You can keep talking.”

Opal knew that this must be Brigadier General Feige and the head of the intelligence department of the White Falcon Star. Unexpectedly, Douglas’s move was even more ruthless, so he directly met with 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 for review. Chairman Douglas, are you really ready to provide asylum for imperial prisoners?”

Douglas said: “What did they do? I forgot, memory is always not good.”

Opal almost fell to the table with a smile, Raymond smiled: “Is there any hatred that 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 couldn’t laugh right away.

“If you are interested in him.” Opal said: “I can introduce his twin brother to have a cup of coffee with you, I’m afraid you can’t play with him.”

Wen Li’s face changed, she turned her head to look at Douglas, and said: “Chairman, if this matter is not resolved before the association closes today, you are responsible for all the consequences.”

Douglas said: “What are the consequences, would you please say it again? I have always had a bad memory.”

Wen Li finally knew that Douglas was playing tricks on her. She whispered and threatened: “Then everyone just wait and see.”

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

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

“No need.” Opal said lazily: “Thank him for his kindness, didn’t he get his face scratched by the shepherd?”

Raymond said: “He doesn’t seem to be afraid of his wife.”

Opal said: “Oh, I think it’s only on the surface.”

Feige said: “A bunch of lunatics, I forgive you to remind you again, Chairman Douglas, your decision will bring the entire Aerospace Association into the abyss, and the Empire will not sit back and watch you cooperate with Cororin. You’d better consider my proposal again. ”

Douglas asked again: “What’s the proposal? I’m old.”

Feige couldn’t help this guy. When 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 things, let’s postpone it for the time being. How about the two children? Can’t you follow you? of.”

Brigadier General Feige’s expression loosened a little, but he still had a paralyzed face, and said, “You can’t protect them, Chairman. Wen Li’s intelligence department lurks all over King’s Wharf. You will be in trouble.”

Douglas took out two candies and gave them to Opal and Raymond. He said, “Then give it a try, General Fegg.”

Brigadier General Feig stopped talking nonsense with him and left the meeting room.

Douglas sat thoughtfully without any expression for a long time. Opal was chewing candy in his mouth and glanced at the old man. Raymond first spoke and asked: “Chairman, we happen to have a question for you.”

Douglas nodded, and Raymond opened the Adventurer’s Handbook and said: “We received a commission to investigate the abyss of destiny. Do you know what’s in it?”

Douglas stretched out his hand and patted a bell, and the sound of ding ding ding ding came out, shocking Opal, almost choked by sugar, Raymond didn’t know what he wanted to do, and looked at a loss.

“There is the remains of King Shakes.” Douglas said: “At the bottom, Horius and the Dark Ages, sacrificed for King’s Wharf, the cemetery of the heroes.”

Opal’s heartbeat stopped.

Douglas said: “I am calling you to ask about the results of the Lava Star survey. Now it seems that there is an answer.”

Opal didn’t quite understand, and said: “Why?”

Douglas took a long breath, took a pipe from his jacket pocket, and let out a burst of smoke.

“Is the Clone Legion imminent?” Douglas said.

Raymond and Opal shook at the same time. Douglas knocked his pipe on the table, knocked out some soot, and said, “Where did Mr. Reckett go?”

Raymond didn’t know exactly who Douglas was, but Opal motioned him to rest, and said to Douglas: “We destroyed the first base, and the teacher is looking for clues to the second base.”

Douglas said: “Sure enough…”

Opal said: “No, the clone army is about to attack?”

Douglas shook his head, finally awake from the half-contemplation and half-talking state, and said, “No, I have to deal with Alex first.”

At the same time, Vice Chairman Sen pushed the door into the conference room, took off his hat at him, and said, “With the glory of Horius.”

Douglas took off his hat and replied, saying the same: “With Horius’ glory, Sen, opened the Association Recall Order, gathered all the commissions of the alien systems, and let the adventurers return to King’s Wharf after handling the matters 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: “Carp, how long is our reserve enough to support the war? ?”

“I don’t think fighting is a good solution.” The named adventurer said: “With our current reserves and planetary defense forces, we may be enough to cope with the two-year offensive of the empire. The premise is that the opponent does not activate the Saintess Fortress. And keep the number of corps within two. Even if there are both big and small trump cards.”

Mori Chao Opal and Raymond said: “The two can leave now.”

Opal still wanted to hear a few more words, but Douglas said: “Go and continue entrusting. If there is anything, I will meet you again.”

Raymond had to bring the door out, Opal said: “Did you hear? There is going to be a war, probably with the Empire.”

Raymond said: “Not necessarily, it’s just the worst result… how does this old man feel that he knows everything?”

Opal went to see the commissioned information machine. All the alien missions on it disappeared and they were all replaced by local commissions.

“What are you doing now?” Opal asked.

“Let’s take a vacation first.” Raymond closed the adventurer’s manual and said, “I’ve been to King’s Wharf for so long, and I haven’t taken a vacation yet.”

Opal also thinks about it. When there is time, there is no money, and when there is money, there is no time. After returning from the White Falcon Star, he has not taken a vacation. I can finally relax.

Autumn is the most beautiful season in King’s Wharf. Hexagonal maple leaves are all over the streets and alleys. There are still many things to do in the future. Reckett doesn’t know what’s going on. Where is Cololin, what will happen to the Clone Corps, the wheel of time Still drifting in an unknown world, what action will the Empire take to the China Aerospace Association…

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

“I started to understand the teacher’s belief.” Opal said: “The teacher’s belief, Cololin’s belief, Nolan’s ideal.”

Raymond said: “I am beginning to understand Ledgerson’s beliefs a little bit.”

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 aloud, whether there is an audience or not, no matter how he sings, it is a kind of…er, a kind of release. A kind of…”

Opal said: “A kind of catharsis from the heart.”

Raymond said: “Maybe, what to drink?”

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

A maple leaf fell and fell between the eyebrows of Opal, and he gradually fell asleep.

Reaching out a hand, taking Maple Leaf away, and poking his forehead, Opal said, “Sleep again.”

“You are not a qualified adventurer. You are too lazy, Opal.” Raymond’s voice said, “When I was in the Grip of Light, I think I should teach you more diligently.”

He sat up abruptly, and Collin said: “Go for a walk?”

Opal noticed that he hadn’t become smaller. He was still wearing a suit, trousers, shirt and vest, and a plaid cap. He smiled, took off his hat and greeted Cololin and said, “Hello, teacher, how is this outfit?”

Cololin wore a long windbreaker, carrying a black gold axe, and said, “Are you lazy again? You didn’t go to the abyss of fate.”

Opal said: “Go after a few days off, how about you? What is this place?”

Opal finally found out that he was no longer on the Maple Leaf Trail outside the China Aerospace Association. It was an unfamiliar place, and there was a manor in the distance, and there was the laughter of children.

Cololin 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 goals.”

“Who is the target?” Opal asked with a frown.

Cororin walked across the grass, put on his fingerless gloves, and said, “The enemy.”

Opal followed behind him and walked to the manor with Cororin, Cororin said: “To defeat our enemy, we must first detect his past and look for his weaknesses.”

Actress:

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

“Tickets for Ledgerson’s concert! Tickets for Ledgerson’s concert!” someone shouted: “Take you in! Only one thousand six hundred credits, box!”

Reckett waved his hand, put on his sunglasses, jumped off the maglev vehicle, and saw the light beams twinkling under the huge shade of the mother of Nuo’s mother, and the open field had been enclosed. The performance stage was under the tree trunk. A teenager came over and asked: “Sir, do you need a local guide?”

Reckett said, “I came to find someone, thank you.”

Unlike Shuilan, the latter has developed into a universal tourist attraction, with commercial tourism services in place. Apart from a few large aprons and a limited forest dwelling inn, the female Luoxing does not have many entertainment facilities.

All landscapes need tourists to find their own experience, from the deep ditch across the planet to the sea of trees, night, day, holy land, grassland, tourists are everywhere. After the female Luoxing joined the dark alliance, tourism resources were developed in just a few years. The locals almost no longer rely on planting for their livelihoods. Many factories have been removed, leaving only leisure farms and residential inns for tourists.

The actresses made a lot of money and no longer worry about their livelihoods, but many people also ran away angrily. Fortunately, apart from asking the actresses to open up the universe, Kolorin did not make any more demands. All construction and planning are handed over to the local government of the actress, achieving a high degree of autonomy.

As for the female star’s diplomatic relations, Kolorin did not intervene in any way. In addition to the empire and republic dignitaries, the invitees of Ledgerson’s “Return” concert are also the hotly debated figure of Jin Yaoxing, the prince Alex. Kess.

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

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

Ledgerson was sitting in the middle of the open-air platform, with no one around. The sky was sprinkled from the gaps in the leaves of the mother of Nursing, falling on his soft blond hair, and he was playing the organ in a dream.

“This is the Sangmen Province.” Corolin said: “The E-major Orphanage in the Great Sky 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.” Cololin raised an eyebrow and said, “Opal, can you recognize him?”

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

“The third one from the left?” Opal said.

“It’s the one in the middle.” Cololin said 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 will send Ledgerson away.”

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

Opal understands that this is Ledgerson’s childhood.

A blond faculty member came over, and the dean said, “This is your father, Ledgerson.”

Ledgerson glanced at him, the man unsmiling, lowered his head to look at Ledgerson.

“Father.” Ledgerson said quietly.

“He is the Archbishop Ijean of the Kingdom of Arc of Light.” Cololin said: “Ledgerson was once the next body of the Pope, but Gleibini went to negotiate with the Legion of Wisdom and was detained by Kalbu. Now The situation in the Holy See is very chaotic.”

Opal said: “Is he the actual power holder?”

Cololin said: “No, no, there are a few more archbishops, they are negotiating with the Legion of Wisdom.”

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

“He is seven years old at this time.” Cololin said.

Ledgerson was wearing shorts, standing on the balcony, standing on a high place with a chair cushioned, staring into the distance. From his perspective, he could see a round hole in the center of the colored glass window, and inside the red round hole. It’s a scene in another room.

Opal and Cololin were standing behind him. Opal wanted to move forward to climb up the chair and watch with Ledgerson, but Cololin stopped him.

“Shhh…” Cololin said, “He is very, very fragile at this time, don’t disturb him.”

“If you go up too, the chair in his consciousness will collapse, causing him to fall beside us. This is what he has always expected.”

Opal said: “What is he looking at?”

Cololin said: “Look at Iran, guess what Ledgerson saw?”

Ledgerson’s complexion changed drastically, climbed down the chair, turned and ran. The moment he left, Opal immediately jumped onto the chair and saw Yiran stitching his left abdomen in the room diagonally opposite.

Within a short second of that glance, Opal seemed to see something metallic.

“See it?” Cololin asked: “What did you see?”

Opal thought of the wires in Raymond’s body and said, “I…I don’t know. Something flashed in the sun.”

Cololin said: “Finally found his weakness.”

The surrounding environment changed again.

Ledgerson grew up, he played in front of the piano, and the music flowed by.

Archbishop Yiran was lying on the handrail of the garden, squinting, the sky was red with the sound of gunfire outside. The space station revolved and emitted blazing light, then was hit by the battleship, and gradually fell in the blue sky.

Ledgerson’s fingertips made a trill.

Yirang closed his eyes and said, “Keep on singing.”

Ledgerson whispered: “When I observe all the lively vitality silently, the Fangfei that maintains them is no more than a moment…”

Yiran’s deep voice sang: “The stage of the universe only plays tricks; I am led by the stars of God in the underworld.”

Ledgerson tilted his head, with unnoticeable sadness flowing in his eyes, and chanted: “Thriver, in the future, listen to my call: You are not yet born, and the beautiful summer is dead.”

With another loud noise, Ledgerson couldn’t help but tremble.

Irang said: “The era of mankind is over, and a new era is coming.”

Ledgerson looked up at Yiran and asked, “Father, will everyone die?”

Irang said: “Perhaps, destiny is the guide of stars.”

The music stopped, and Ledgerson said: “The Pope wants us to treat our lives well and wait for death… The Sangbing Province is now…”

“Winning is also the direction of the Creator, and death is also the direction of the Creator.” Yiran stood up and said: “Everything will have an end. This is what the Pope has granted us.”

He walked out of the garden and headed to the Star Hall.

Cololin: “Guess what he is thinking at this time.”

Opal: “I can’t guess.”

Cololin whispered: “You guessed it, Opal.”

Opal stood quietly, and then said: “He was thinking and remembering what he saw when he was seven. He suspected Archbishop Iran was a clone.”

Cololin nodded and said, “Yes, do you think he will inform the human army?”

Opal shuddered, and Cololin said: “If it were you, would you?”

“No.” Opal said, “No.”

Cololin said: “Neither will I.”

Opal said: “Did he inform? Yiran was too careless.”

Coralin said: “Iran’s misfortune is a great fortune for mankind. What do you think is the father-son relationship between Ledgerson and Iran?”

Opal said: “It’s a little indifferent, without me and the teacher, me and…”

“There is a lot between you and me.” Cololin said lightly: “Look at this again.”

In a dark, arc of light night, Ledgerson ran wildly in the grass, with light bullets flying all over the sky above his head, and his face was pale with lightning-like energy.

“Save me–” Ledgerson ran with all his life’s strength.

Cololin and Opal stood on the road in the dark, watching Ledgerson running through the wilderness from a distance. The clone army descended in full, with bombing sounds one after another, and a simple mech made a loud noise across the plain.

The Zenith dropped an earthquake bomb, and Ledgerson’s young body was lifted by the shock wave. The mecha behind him rushed forward and raised his hand to catch him. Immediately after the incendiary bomb, the sonic bomb covered this area, and gravel flew around the Kolorin and the opal. The opal was in the explosion and had nothing to do with the explosion. He personally watched everything being overturned near the explosion point, the soil flew to the sky, the 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.”

Cololin said, “Ledgerson also lived here during that time. You see, he woke up.”

Opal said: “When is this again?”

Cololin said: “Here is his daydream, Opal, I suddenly found you a bit stupid. Have you never daydreamed?”

Opal said: “You only realize that I’m dumb and lazy now it’s a bit late, daydreaming? I understand…”

These are Ledgerson’s memories, or fantasy, Opal can’t help but be very strange, how did Coralin invade here? Is he already big enough to read Ledgerson’s thoughts directly?

“Look, he is awake.” Cololin said.

The young Ledgerson was barefoot and ran silently through the carpeted corridor, like a quiet cat.

Opal wanted to follow him, and Cololin said, “Shhh, don’t disturb him.”

Ledgerson slowed down, and Cololin said: “If I’m not mistaken, this is the segment between the two scenes we saw just now.”

Ledgerson leaned to the door, unable to hear the noise inside, and ran to another room at the end of the corridor, went out to the balcony, put the chair away, and stood on a high place to look in.

Cololin said: “He must always spy on his father like this. You see, he is very skilled.”

Opal said: “Whenever he does this, what is he thinking about?”

Cololin said: “I think he was severely autistic when he was a child, what do you think?”

Opal nodded slowly, and Collin said: “Art and musical geniuses often have a closed inner world. We might as well assume that he loves Yiran and wants to use his own child’s actions to show that he is right. Yiran’s return and care. The specific behavior is peeping, to know more about what he is doing.”

Opal said: “I think Yiran also has feelings for Ledgerson. Look, he will save Ledgerson.”

Cololin said: “Perhaps. Because we don’t know how to replicate the emotional world of individual human beings, how does Raymond act?”

Opal said: “Every individual has their own emotional tendencies. From the day they leave the training cabin, according to the surrounding environment, the people they know will be different. Just like Raymond.”

Collins said: “So at the beginning, Yiran may have adopted an orphan to cover up his original intention of copying his identity, until he spent a short two years with Ledgerson…”

Opal said: “Everyone regards each other as their own family members. But why should he inform?”

With a smile in his eyes, Corolin said: “He didn’t inform, but when he saw that the Holy See was destroyed by the war, he had such a little wave of thought.”

“The Defense War of the Nation of Light Arc is the turning point of the second attack of the Wisdom Army. In this battle, a thought of Ledgerson controls the future of the entire universe” Cololin slowly said: “Kalb retreats, this is Horius bought the time, and Teacher Reckett got the way to the ivory tower. Four hundred years later, on the way to the ivory tower, he was intercepted by the Wisdom Legion, fell on the star of Shakes, and met me.”

“It’s all because of Ledgerson’s thoughts, so now I will stand here and you are here. We can know him, and we have to thank him. This reason has finally become the result of Ledgerson.”

Opal: “…”

The piano stopped.

“Teacher.” Ledgerson said: “It’s been a long time, are you here to take my life?”

Reckett took off the cap of the cloak and said, “I am here to redeem my sins, Ledgerson, kill me, eliminate all your hatred, and then end all the mistakes you made because of hatred.”
