The Star Knight - 153. Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

Raymond was silent for a moment, and Opal could also hear the profound meaning of Reckett’s words-let Raymond not think about whether he was a copy or a human, but simply act in accordance with his beliefs.

So what is Raymond’s belief?

“Teacher.” Raymond said, “Horius’ belief, what do you think is it?”

Reckett raised his eyebrows slightly, and Opal said, “Teacher, you also know. Horius’ original intention was not to destroy all enemies.”

Raymond exchanged a glance with Opal, and Reckett said: “You inherited Horius’ last wish?”

Raymond nodded and said: “I regard myself as a human being, the next successor to Horius. I hope that human beings can leave a place for the Wisdom Legion, and the Wisdom Legion has its own living space.”

Recht shook his head disapprovingly, and Raymond said: “Just like in the middle of the Dark Age, Horius and Kalbu once reached an agreement. Humans and the wisdom army truce, and there is nothing wrong with each other.”

“You don’t understand.” Reckett said: “You and Opal are thinking too simple, things are not what you think…”

Opal: “Then tell us, teacher.”

There was another long silence. Reckett said: “The replicator is not a human being. The Star Alliance still does not recognize that it is a life group with its own intelligence. This is very complicated, including their life span, inheritance method, and genetic mutation. Possibility, and the identity of this ethnic group with humans.”

Opal said: “If every clone that already exists had a different face, just like Raymond, you see…you see.”

Opal went over to break Lemmon’s face, pinched his ears, and pressed his eyebrows to give him a splayed eyebrow shape, saying: “This way it doesn’t look like Coralin.”

Reckett smiled helplessly, this behavior finally made the atmosphere lighter.

“I think we and them need to understand each other.” Raymond still said seriously. At this moment, his tone was sincere, even using the name “we” to separate himself from the wisdom army. Come.

Reckett said: “You can think of it. We have thought about it. In the middle of the Dark Ages, Gleibini was imprisoned by Kalbu in this way. Horius also died in the defense of King’s Wharf because of his mercy. .”

“But not every copyist wants to fight, I think…” Opal said: “Teacher, just like us humans, sometimes the opening of war may not be the common will of all individuals.”

Opal discussed this issue with Reckett very carefully, not because he was afraid of getting angry, but because of his respect for him from the bottom of his heart. After all, this has involved Rekert’s principles and beliefs.

Reckett said: “Then give me a reason, give me a guarantee, give me a person who can shoulder all the responsibilities, he must have enough weight to deal with the next series of problems after making a decision. Otherwise, I Will still stick to my position.”

Speaking of this, Reckett’s meaning is already very clear.

Opal and Raymond looked at each other, and Raymond said: “Go back first and see the situation at King’s Wharf.”

“Prepare for the leap.” Opal said: “Destination, King’s Wharf.”

The combined aircraft in the state of the defensive tower jumped at the same time, and suddenly separated when they arrived at the King’s Wharf. At this moment, most of the warships had been withdrawn. The entire planetary defense system of the King’s Wharf was nothing.

There is a kind of tension on the entire planet that the enemy will be in the future. Rector quickly ran into the Association of Large Astronautics. Opal found that the Imperial Army had already left, and Kolorin didn’t know if he was still in the Association.

Within the China Aerospace Association, adventurers are filling all the atomic furnaces with new energy stones, the central reactor is restarted, and the energy supply from the association is gradually resuming towards the whole star.

“Where are those empires?” Opal asked, “Where did they go?”

“It’s going to fight! The Republic declares war on the Empire!” someone said: “Something has happened! The presidium is meeting on the second floor.”

Opal said: “Where is the big trump card?”

“Gone.” Someone said again.

There are people coming and going around, all with solemn expressions.

“Is the communication band not connected yet?” a staff member shouted.

“Connect now!”

After brushing the sound, all the light screens in the hall of the association lit up, and then gathered from all directions towards the center, embedding a three-dimensional projection grating, and the screen lit up. On it was a female anchor who was reporting news. The background was two spaceships and the king. There was no sound from the wharf and the saint fortress beyond the Lie Star.

“Turn on the sound!”

Opal always felt that something was wrong. Three seconds later, the voice of the female anchor sounded:

“…The remnants of the clone army in the Dark Ages were discovered, indicating that the clones have once again invaded human society. Imperial Prince Alex refused to comment on this matter. The Republic submitted a report to the Star Alliance and asked the Lion Empire to surrender research and development. All replicators in China and destroy the replicator technology, Marshal Rotman denied this.”

All the adventurers stopped their work, stood up straight and looked at the screen.

“The opera prince Ledgerson recently disappeared from the actress, and according to the witness’s testimony, he has been involved in the research and development plan of the duplicator…”

The whole hall froze in an instant, and Reckett’s expression was very complicated.

“The situation in the abandoned ruins indicates that multiple replicas have entered the human activity area. The following are the characteristics of the replicators.”

The first person is projected in the light screen.

“Clilaus Ben Azeroth. The former Mercenary King of the Star Wars.”

“Ejean Artemis. The twelfth Archbishop of the Holy See.”

“Horrius. Major Glory, God of War.”

“Disease Shakes, the nineteenth king of Shakes.”

“The above are the duplicates that have been discovered, and there may be more in the future. The Star Alliance hereby urges residents of all member states to be vigilant.”

In the cosmic calendar year 20112, the Republic and the Lion Empire broke out in the most serious conflict since the end of the Dark Age. After thousands of years of silence, the technology of human reproduction reappeared in human rumors.

The forces from all sides are standing in battle, among which the most nervous is Liexing. After all, there is a previous Liexing King among the clones!

The Lie Star immediately asked the Empire to thoroughly investigate the truth, and the Republic’s aircraft carrier drove to the middle zone of the Star Covenant and made conditions to Rotman. Rotman denied all insider information.

The Aerospace Association integrated all the information. Douglas submitted an earlier report stating that Alex had traveled to and from Lava Star many times and used polycrystalline silicon crystals to develop technology for replicating human chips. The Association’s defection was thorough. After reversing the situation, the Republic began to require a thorough investigation of the cloning technology throughout the Empire, and Rotman was removed from office for investigation.

Rekert reported all the information to the Association of Large Astronautics, and notified the ambassador of the Republic, including some of their speculations, the past of the incident, the cause, and the estimated remaining combat power. The other side just replied briefly: “I see, Reckett.”

Reckett said: “Kashtrian, this matter is not trivial. I hope the government of the Republic will take immediate countermeasures.”

“I have no way of intervening in the decisions of the parliament.” The ambassador of the Republic to the Empire said: “But I will give your report to Callens. As for what actions they will take, I really can’t control. I have to go, friend. ”

The ambassador of the Republic to the Empire took off his hat and paid tribute to Reckett. The time for the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries was imminent. The spacecraft of the Republic’s diplomats used King’s Wharf as a transit point. Kashtrian and Rekert boarded the ship after bidding farewell.

“At this time, humans should be gathered together.” Opal frowned: “Why does their focus seem to be completely out of this?”

Reckett looked at Opal for a while and said, “It’s strange? It’s always been the case. Even during the short rest period between Horius and the Wisdom Army, the human coalition still couldn’t make a concerted effort. Lion Autonomous Prefecture In peace talks, the Interstellar Community demands war.”

Reckett and Opal returned to the Great Astronautical Association. Rumors of Horius’ resurrection have spread throughout the King’s Wharf. That day adventurers did not see Horius’ resurrection in person, but saw the dark green saber-toothed mechs across the sky. .

This is tantamount to giving everyone a reassurance, at least when the clone army makes a comeback…no, they don’t necessarily make a comeback either.

Because the empire had completely denied this incident and pointed out that the Republican Assembly had spread rumors, and at the same time, the country began to investigate all suspicious signs, the emperor Kartes finally came forward and denied the existence of the clone army. The Republic asked the Empire to surrender Ledgerson to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The situation was extremely tense, and the strings on both sides were tight.

Reckett’s trace to the second base was broken. According to the news that Raymond got from Kelly, there are two clone bases in the universe. One, even Raymond didn’t know what was on it.

On April 17, the Republic and the Empire finally went to war, and the Republic’s Intelligence Organization took a step ahead of Rekert and found a third base. A fire conflict broke out in Andromeda with the imperial search ship.

“Fight!”

As soon as the war between the two countries broke the general pattern after the end of the dark age, the entire interstellar space was shaken.

“It’s fighting!” Many adventurers gathered in the hall and shouted, unable to figure out the task.

Opal looked up at the image of the war on the projection, the small warships of the Republic flooded the space and began to attack the imperial territory.

No one expected that the Republic would be the first to start the war. On another light screen was the declaration of the President of the Republic:

“…The tragedy of the Dark Age cannot be repeated again. The anti-human experiment conducted by Kartes will surely be sanctioned. Today I once again call on all Star Alliance and Dark Alliance member states to boycott the technology developed by replicators…”

Opal said: “Teacher, shall we join the war? Stop their war?”

Reckett said: “No, what we have to do now is to find the last clone base. As long as we find out the whereabouts of Kyle Lei and the black box, everything will be solved. Now mankind is about to win, and the four bases have been destroyed. Three were found.”

Raymond has been staying in the data room these days, searching all the way from the magic blue fluorite, the dark age, hoping to find the clues of the base, Opal has been a bit of a headache, the vast sea of information is dense, and there is no way to analyze it.

Reckett’s investigation process also fell into a stagnant stage. At this moment, everyone seemed to be desperately fighting for time.

Opal thought twice and got through Iszul’s communication. Some adventurers have discovered the similarities between Raymond and Colorin, and Opal can only say that they simply look alike. After all, only the presidium saw him on the day the big trump card appeared. Fortunately, the presidium did not ask, as if it was some kind of tacit approval.

Opal knew that Douglas might have guessed something, but he had no time to go to the chairman for verification.

“This is the Central Government Department of Meteorite Building.” Allen’s voice replied: “Opal, long time no see.”

“Long time no see.” Opal sighed and asked: “Where is the teacher? I need to talk to him.”

“He’s not in the Grip of Xuanguang recently.” Allen said, “He told you that if the King’s Wharf is in danger, you can go back to your home planet at any time. At present, Iszul is the safest place to take any of your friends. Bring them all…”

Opal pondered for a moment, and said, “Thank you, the situation at King’s Wharf is okay, I want to ask something else. Is there any military plan for Iszul recently?”

Opal spoke so straightforwardly that Alan couldn’t answer for a while. Opal knew that in this case, the effect of round-about inquiries and direct questions is the same. If you can let him know, he will say it. If you can’t let him know, no matter how you ask. It is impossible to reveal the wind.

After a short silence, Caesar’s voice said: “I’ll tell him.”

“Opa.” Caesar said: “How are you doing? I heard that you are with your majesty’s teacher?”

Opal took a deep breath, thought about it, and said: “Yes, but we have some conceptual differences. I have the copy of the base information here, and I will pass it on to you now.”

Opal sent the information to Caesar via long-wave communication. Caesar said: “Your Majesty is not in Iszur, but after a while, there will be military operations on the Anubis.”

Opal said: “I need to know which side Iszul is on in this war.”

“We will stand on the side of the Republic.” Caesar said: “But no agreement was reached with Li Wei. I guess your Majesty is preparing for this.”

Opal breathed a sigh of relief.

Allen said, “Let me see, what information? My goodness.”

Opal said: “These information is very important. There are no photos of King’s Wharf. Please keep it confidential.”

Allen: “It’s terrible… When did this legion appear?”

Caesar: “I guess your majesty already knows.”

Opal said: “How can the Meteorite Legion help the Republic?”

Caesar said: “The specific strategic goals have not yet been set and we need to wait for your majesty’s order.”

Opal thought for a while, nodded and said: “Good luck to you.”

Caesar said: “Opa, if King Wharf is in danger, go home and live for a while.”

Opal said tiredly: “Yes, Chairman Douglas has not yet entered the war, we exchange information at any time.”

He closed the communication, thought about it, and contacted Lie Xing again.

Xun: “Opal, are you in the Aerospace Association?”

Opal: “How is the situation?”

“Very bad.” Xun said: “The Empire couldn’t produce evidence and directly acted. The Republic said that they had obtained another piece of information. I have many dads. This is simply… ridiculous.”

Opal said: “Where are the stars? What did they say?”

Xun said: “A national commission has been issued. Listen, Opal, they also suspected another thing. Someone saw Colorin in the last war…”

Opal was surprised.

“They said that Raymond and Cololin look very similar.” Xun said, “I told them that there is nothing wrong with their appearance. There are many people in the universe who look alike, um, that’s it.”

Fortunately, Opal said, “Rosen took the warship to search for the imperial realm and the deep space zone. The Republic said there is still a base. That is the most important place. All the technology is preserved, isn’t it?”

“Listen, Xun.” Opal said, “That’s it. The teacher called it a black box. I suspect that the last base is not in the Empire area. You can find another target.”

Xun said: “Oh no, Opal, if I were them, I would not leave any clues to be found, do you know? Rosen discussed with Callens, and now Callens is the main force of the Republican Army, Li Wei To contain the Rotman army, Karens led his troops to the empire to find possible insiders. Most of the mercenaries were dispatched, and Ulka and the mecha team stayed in the Liexing.”

Opal said: “Well, if you have any information, please contact me as soon as possible.”

Xun said, “Okay, just say so.”

Opal cut off the communication and stood thinking. Raymond’s voice said behind him: “Is there any progress?”

“No.” Opal said, “I can’t find Coralin.”

Raymond asked: “What about the dream?”

“Neither in the dream.” Opal raised his eyes to see Raymond.

In these days, Opal almost acted with Raymond, but Reckett was alone. Both sides were inferring in their own way what would happen next. However, the sudden interruption of clues made the battle impossible to guess. If there is no such sentence quoted by Raymond, Opal even wonders if there are only three clone bases.

“The confrontation between the Leo Empire and the Galactic Republic is expanding. Most of the member states of the Star Alliance have participated in the war, and the Meteor Legion has not yet issued a declaration. Once the Meteor Legion enters the war, the Leo Empire will encounter the dilemma of fighting on both sides at the same time…”

The sound of news has attracted the attention of many people.

Reckett stood in the hall and looked up at the projection area, his eyes full of doubts.

“Why didn’t Cororin play?” Opal asked, also a little puzzled.

Raymond said: “He is waiting.”

Opal: “Waiting for?”

Raymond said he couldn’t guess either.

Opal thought for a while and connected to the third communication.

Pastor: “Opal, let me tell you, it’s useless to persuade me, this pope is wrong for me…”

Opal: “Oh, I didn’t come to persuade you, I found your teacher.”

Pastor: “Where?”

Opal: “Ivory Tower Proving Grounds, the body of a clone of Kolorin.”

The pastor’s side became quiet, and Opal said: “Can you feel him? We are looking for the next base.”

The pastor said: “No, there really is that stuff? I always thought it was a smoke bomb released by the Republic.”

Opal said: “How is it possible?!”

Pastor: “Why is it impossible? Li Wei and Tifeng supported Baroque in the upper ranks. Alex lost in the Star Wars upright, and the Republic threw out the trump cards one by one. Now even Rotman can’t take care of it. I live, I don’t think there is any base at all, as Rotman said, they are all made by the Republic…”

Raymond said: “No, shepherd, yes, I’m sure there is.”

One is less clear about the situation than the other. It’s enough. Opal has nothing to do with these guys. The pastor seems to have a few words with the archbishops over there, and then asks: “There are really clones of Azeroth. Uncle didn’t tell me anything. Kartes will let Baroque succeed to the throne soon.”

“Yes.” Raymond said: “If you get any news, remember to let us know.”

Opal said: “Listen, shepherd, after the end of the dark age, the Legion of Wisdom left their black box. This black box may be an asteroid, or a spaceship, or it may be an outside of the star chart. The base, we checked all the contents of the star map of the Association of Large Astronautics, but we did not find this base.”

The pastor said: “But in the last battle of the Dark Age, as long as the clones in this cosmic space are destroyed, aren’t they?”

Opal said: “So, what if there were a large number of clones that were not turned on at the time?”

The pastor was quiet for a while, and said: “Alex is applying for asylum to the Holy See. I guess he has given up his heart and wants to come in and become a bishop. I will ask him when Marshal Rotman sends him over.”

“Yeah.” Opal said, “After Alex arrives at the Holy See, be sure to let me know.”

The pastor said: “Okay, we will interrogate him together.”

Opal cuts off the communication, thinking about poor Alex…

Raymond sat on the sofa, still flipping the star map data page by page, and said: “What do you think is stored in this black box?”

Opal said: “It may be the headquarters of all cloners. I suspect it is like the ivory tower test site. The base found by the teacher is just a branch of it.”

Raymond said: “I don’t understand. It’s only a few years since Kyle Lei escaped to the present.”

Opal said: “It should be no more than six years, do you remember? Jimmyson only released Kyle Ray after Jamie’s death.”

Raymond snorted and said, “How did he build so many bases in these short years?”

Opal said: “Are you more? Only three…plus the skills he left behind…”

Although Opal doesn’t know much about copying technology, it feels unrealistic to build several bases in just a few years.

“Ivory Tower said.” Opal said: “Kelly was hiding on the Wheel of Time, and he came back after the end of the dark age to build the testing ground where you were made… Maybe he still has a helper? Who is this helper?”

Raymond said: “He is hiding on the Wheel of Time, so no one finds out his identity?”

Opal said: “So Kolorin asked us to investigate the whereabouts of the Wheel of Time, but the clues were also interrupted…”

Opal noticed something vaguely.

His breathing seemed to stagnate, and tremblingly opened the three departure documents of the Wheel of Time.

Guangji 3779: The Wheel of Time returns for the first time.

Light Era 3790: Wheel of Time II sets off for the second time. Logan participates in this plan as one of the navigators.

Guangji 11293: The wisdom revolution broke out, and the clone captured the entire universe.

Light Era 14284: The Battle of Judgment, the end of the dark age of 2971 years.

“Before the battle of trial.” Opal said: “Kelly has already escaped from this universe and headed to the wheel of time.”

Raymond said: “According to time, it should be.”

“So at least since 14284…Kelly has been on the Wheel of Time.” Opal murmured.

Light Era 15330: The Wheel of Time returns for the second time.

Light Era 16008: The Wheel of Time set off for the third time.

“I know where the last black box is.”

At this moment, Opal’s body no longer belongs to him, and a deep chill rushes to his back. If the last clone base is the wheel of time… then everything can be perfectly matched. He didn’t even dare to guess more about what happened, as if the inner feelings contained in it would subvert all his cognition, and even completely subvert his life.

Raymond got up and walked towards Opal. Opal looked at his hand in disbelief, at Raymond and the world around him, his mind was dizzy.

Kelly entered this exploration ship before the second return of the Wheel of Time, and returned with it 4,700 years ago, and once again returned to the four-dimensional universe.

Later, Logan started the Time Wheel again. If Logan is no longer the pilot Logan who drove the Time Wheel at this time…

Opal didn’t dare to think any further, but had to think about the fall of his mother on the B-11 star, and her secret expression about the past… What happened on the Wheel of Time?

If Kyle Rey killed Logan, the navigator on the Wheel of Time, and used the Wheel of Time as a base to create a new clone of Logan, then he would be…

Kyle Lei returned after returning home for the second time. They spent 4700 years to rejuvenate the Wisdom Empire. There are definitely more than just four bases.

A sense of crisis flooded Opal’s heart, and he turned and ran out of the hall.

“Opal!” Raymond said loudly.
