The Star Knight - 78. Chapter Seventy-Eight

When Opal opened his eyes again, his body was unspeakably comfortable, and the fatigue of the days was gone.

This was the fourth day he came to the Grip of Xuanguang, opened the door and went out. The two guards outside the door immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Opal waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t need to be too restrictive, but then I thought about it, they were originally soldiers, but they didn’t know what to say.

He touched his groaning belly. It was eleven o’clock in the morning, and he happened to go to the cafeteria to eat, two meals and one meal. As they walked through the hall, civilian officers noticed him and bowed slightly to salute him.

Opal was a little uncomfortable. They didn’t care much about their actions before. So, Cololin was planning to keep him… He went into the cafeteria, and Allen hurried over and said, “Why are you still here? here?”

Opal looked up and said: “What’s wrong? I just woke up.”

Allen said: “Hurry up to the Sky Garden, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Opal said: “But I haven’t eaten yet…”

Allen said, “Don’t eat here. Pack your things and live on it. You don’t have to live on this floor.”

“Allen.” asked another officer outside.

“I forgot about it.” Allen urged Opal to get up and said, “Is your majesty urging?”

The officer said: “He is talking to Lord Ijean, there should be half an hour before lunch.”

Allen was relieved, and quickly walked over with Opal, watching him pack his things, and then took him over seven hundred floors.

There is an oval-shaped living area. The palace stands in the center. There are only a few small robots that shuttle around from time to time to clean the garden. Allen said: “You will live here in the future. You can choose any room. You need to find someone for you. Just go to the elevator platform and press a button, and an orderly will come up to listen to your orders.”

Opal walked up to the terrace and looked around. This was the place where he had come to talk to Kolorin that night. The garden palace was surrounded by lush plants and a transparent energy cover.

“There are no orders here?” Opal was a little weird.

“No.” Allen said: “Your Majesty does not need guards and does not want too many people to stay here, but you are not within this range, you can walk around as you please.”

Opal said: “He doesn’t have a son… or is he a relative?”

Allen shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, “His bodyguards also had the authority to enter and exit here, but only the authority to enter and exit. You are the first person to live on the 700th floor besides your Majesty. . Please cherish this opportunity.”

Opal nodded, and Allen retired outside the garden.

Who is Cororin hosting? He should not be in this place.

When will Rekert contact him? Opal was in a complicated mood. He walked to the side of the palace along the road in the center of the fountain and looked around. Inside was a huge data hall. When he walked in, he found that the walls of the circular hall were full of storage compartments and chips. From the ground all the way to the ceiling.

There were several light-screen readers on the table, and a library robot came to help. Opal waved his hand: “No help is needed.”

He walked through the library. So far, all the doors here are open, and all the way is unimpeded. There is an arsenal. Outside the arsenal is a wide platform, which is expected to be used for martial arts training.

The circular corridor protrudes from the east hall to form a transparent air walkway. Opal walks in the slender and dust-free transparent pipe, as if walking through a height of 10,000 meters in the grip of rotating light.

There is also a metal plate on the ground in front of the aisle with four wheels mounted on it.

Opal knows this is called skateboarding, and also knows how it is played. They used wood on the B-11 star and Oman before. I didn’t expect that Korolin would also like to play this.

He stepped on the metal plate, stomped a few times on the ground, carried a bag on one shoulder, and his slender figure passed through the transparent pipe with a sound, and he stepped on the edge of the metal plate and kicked it up. It felt really great. !

Is anyone still playing this kind of retro stuff now? Opal inspected the metal plate curiously, and found a line of unfamiliar text written underneath, which I couldn’t understand… Now they all use jetted flying boards.

[This is an antique on the ancient earth. 】Cololin’s voice sounded directly in Opal’s mind: 【Opal, your boots are too dirty, remember to wipe them clean after you step on them. 】

Opal looked around awkwardly and replied: [Ok…Okay, Your Majesty, where are you? 】

Cololin: [I have something else, are you hungry? Wait if you are not hungry. 】

Opal nodded, wiped the skateboard clean and put it away. He noticed that a line of gray footprints were left where he walked. A household robot came out to scrub and was immediately unspeakably depressed. He sat down and took off his boots and socks. Leave the corridor barefoot.

The palace is very clean, the carpet is warm and refreshing, and it feels very comfortable to step on the ground with bare feet. Opal has a faint feeling of returning home. Only when he returned to the spacecraft would he take off his army boots. Walking on the carpet is unrestrained and free.

He opened the rooms one by one and looked at them. They were all neatly packed. No one had lived in them. Each room was spacious and bright. The bed was large and comfortable, and the window screens fluttered slightly in the wind.

Like Lie Xing’s, Opal likes this retro pattern very much. Compared with the icy sleeping cabins on many technological planets, this soft big bed makes people feel more intimate.

He put away his simple luggage, and continued to push the door to look at the rooms. Is it a waste to live alone with so many rooms?

The door on the opposite side opened as soon as it was pushed. There seemed to be people living in this room. A shirt was thrown on the bed and a pair of black metal boat shoes were thrown in the corner.

This is Cololin’s room? !

Opal walked around and saw some simple knick-knacks on the table. There was an iron box filled with small stones, as if picked up from the garden.

There is a small robot next to the iron box-a bit like E7, but also like a navigation robot in the Sanctuary of Stars.

The only difference is that its camera is round, which seems to be abandoned for a long time.

Did Cololin do this by himself? Opal picked it up and looked at it carefully. There was no factory serial number. The small square robot was covered with rust. After looking for it for a long time, there was only one manual switch.

Opal opened it, looked at the display panel on its chest, and asked: “Hello, what’s your name?”

The little robot turned on the light with a bang, and fell off with a bang. The opal was taken aback for fear of breaking. However, the little robot was so fast that it rushed towards the wall with a slam, and hit the camera on its head. Falling down when clanging.

“Wait!” Opal hurriedly picked up the camera, thinking that he was in trouble, and when he looked back, the little robot had already rushed out of the room.

“Hey! I said wait!” Opal said: “Stop! Command, standby!”

The little robot crashed in front of the corridor like crazy, opal was crazy thinking it was over! He scrambled to chase, but the little robot was so fast that it shot out of the corridor in the blink of an eye, and Opal rushed to catch it.

The little robot dipped in a circle in the middle of the hall.

“I don’t agree with some of the ideas of your chamber of commerce.” Cololin’s voice sounded.

Opal swooped and rolled in the middle of the hall, and appeared in embarrassment in front of Cololin and another middle-aged man. The two talking in the hall stopped talking at the same time and watched Opal’s series of actions.

“I… I was unintentional!” Opal hurriedly said.

He almost caught the little robot, but it ran too fast, and in an instant it rushed out of his arms.

Cololin said: “This is my apprentice, sir.”

Cololin stretched out his left hand and stroked it smoothly, the switch behind the little robot jumped and stopped in the middle of the hall.

“This is Lord Ijean of the Punnes Chamber of Commerce.”

The middle-aged man bowed slightly towards Opal, and Opal nodded and said, “Hello.”

He was so embarrassed that he lifted the little robot up, and Cololin said: “You are free, Opal.”

Opal stood aside and stared at Cololin.

In the middle of the hall is a throne-like high-backed chair, and Cololin sat in the throne, squinting.

Today he is wearing a black robe, his hair is slightly longer than Raymond, his eyes are like beautiful and deep obsidian, his collar is open, showing his toned chest.

He doesn’t wear shoes like Opal. He wears a black gold ankle chain on his naked/naked ankle, and his elbow rests on the armrest of the throne. Like in a daze.

“Your Majesty.” Lord Ijean said: “Sybil and Long have always been at odds with my philosophy, and the Puence Chamber of Commerce is different from before.”

Cololin said: “You want me to put pressure on the empire. Now I am telling you clearly that I can’t do it. My goal is not in the empire. You can only find other ways to solve it by yourself.”

Lord Yiran didn’t speak, Cororin said, “But I can send you some people to serve as your guard on your business journey. I think the Guard of the King of Meteorites can serve as a bargaining chip in your hands.”

Lord Ijean seems to be still considering it.

Cololin said: “Let’s do it, I promise you that this matter will be resolved in five years, and it should be on the agenda. There will be a period later, Lord.”

Lord Yirang retreated, Coralin pondered for a moment, stretched out a hand, and beckoned at Opal.

Opal walked over, and Cololin’s gaze stayed on the little robot in his hand first, and then moved to his eyes, with a questioning look in his eyes.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” Opal said, “I’m a little curious.”

Cororin took the camera and the little robot and said, “Let me see if it crashed.”

Opal knelt to the throne on one knee, resting his elbow on the arm of the chair, and watched Cololin overhaul.

“Where did you get this?” Opal asked, “Weird little robot.”

Cololin put the camera back on the little robot and said: “A pioneer in exploring high-dimensional space, the navigator on the Wheel of Time gave it to Nolan, and Nolan forwarded it to me.”

Opal said again: “It won’t be broken, I…I think this may be important to you, I’m really sorry, Your Majesty.”

Cololin glanced at Opal and said: “I don’t open it often. Its memorial significance is greater than its practical effect.”

“Can you repair spaceships and assemble robots?” Opal asked.

Cololin handed the little robot to Opal and said, “Take it to my room.”

Opal went and put it back in place. When he came out, lunch was already set. At two places beside the small dining table, Cololin was sitting in the sun, pointing to the other chair, and beckoning him to sit.

The robot puts out the lunch and poured two glasses of wine. The plate is filled with fresh local dishes, including fried fish steaks, shrimp and meat steaks, and fruit as a side meal.

“I have no special requirements for food.” Opal said with a smile.

“Neither did I. What do you eat on the Sphinx?” Cololin said, “I remember Queen Perrin entertained me with desert fish.”

“That was eaten by the nobles.” Opal searched his mind about the customs of the Sphinx, and replied with a smile: “It’s good to have dry bread and a little bacon.”

Cololin raised his cup, and Opal also toasted.

Cololin: “I wish you a long life and a hundred years.”

Opal: “I wish you a long life and a hundred years.”

Opal still has a vague sense of unreality until now-it seems that it was still at home yesterday, and when I wake up, I will have dinner at the table with Kolorin, the king of the meteorites. This is not known to many people in the universe. Think about it.

What was he thinking about? When Opal wanted to find something to say, and didn’t know his emotions, and was thinking about how to start the topic, Cololin spoke first and said:

“What do you think of this place?”

“Very beautiful.” Opal said: “To be honest, it’s not the same as the outside evaluation of you.”

Cololin said with a rare smile: “I don’t care much about how others evaluate me.”

Opal nodded and asked: “Why did you suddenly think of building this place? I mean… You told me yesterday that you used to be a star knight, what is a star knight?”

Cororin said: “The Star Knights are a group of people who have inherited the civilization of the Sekeria Temple. In the eyes of many people, they are like me, an omnipotent existence.”

Opal slowly nodded and looked at Cororin. He was dressed in a black robe and had no extra accessories except for the black gold anklet. He was handsome and masculine, with a solemn and restrained majesty of the king.

Cololin said: “The teacher trained me to become a celestial knight. His name is Reckett. I once thought that one day, I would invite my teacher to the Xuanguang Grip, chat with him, and say Order our original ideals and beliefs, have a cup of tea, and let him appreciate the world I have created.”

Opal said: “Is he still there?”

Cololin nodded and said: “Yes, but his only thought is to kill me, hate and disappointment, self-blame blinded his heart. He lived longer than me, and years have made his thinking fall into a fixed pattern, and he can no longer be rational. Look at what I do.”

Opal did not dare to ask any more, the two had eaten and strolled in the garden.

“Opal, I have to ask you one thing first.” Cololin said solemnly: “Would you like to enter the empire I personally created, inherit my beliefs, and become my apprentice? I will put all my skills I have taught you everything, I think, you have a preliminary concept in the past few days.”

“Yes.” Opal said: “I am willing, Your Majesty.”

Cololin stopped and stared at him earnestly, his eyes seemed to look into the deepest part of Opal’s soul, Opal’s heart was beating wildly, and for a moment he suspected that he could see through the memory under Ledgerson. The barrier completely pulled out the real him, and then gave him a sword.

No… he doesn’t have this ability. Opal thinks of the Aurora Falcon in the inner memory world. The Aurora Falcon is also an undercover agent. Although Reckett did not say too much, since the Aurora Falcon has concealed it from him, it proves that Kolorin cannot Break through the barrier of Ledgerson.

“Your purpose is very simple.” Cololin said: “To be honest, I am not satisfied with you.”

Opal said: “Wh…what? I don’t understand.”

With his hands in thought, Coralin walked through the cold path, and the black gold anklet made a fine sound on his ankle.

“Your form of belief is the most special I have ever seen.” Cololin said: “The abyss, what does the abyss symbolize? In fact, you also know very clearly in your heart that you can only see, you can’t even chase… It may symbolize one This is never available…”

Opal: “Feelings, goals.”

Cororin glanced at Opal and walked to the side of the palace.

“When I was an apprentice.” Cololin said: “I also touched the field of belief with this simple awe. Although it is essentially different from your mentality, in the final analysis, it is the same thing. .”

Opal always felt that every sentence of Cololin’s words was very complicated. He had no time to think about it, and he didn’t allow him to think too much. He had to understand it on the surface and asked: “When you were an apprentice…and I am now Is it the same? To your teacher…well, I mean…”

Cololin said: “To be precise, it is not the same. Back then, I held the thought of respecting my teacher, and worked hard to do everything for his praise and affirmation, because he gave me the soul. I unconsciously imitate his every move and learn from him to guard all the important things in the universe. This is the first time that this constitutes the source of my belief.”

Opal felt something vaguely, and then understood it all in an instant!

He stared at Coralin in a daze, quickly analyzing what he said in the world of internal memory. Cororin thought that Opal fell in love with him!

He once overlapped the image of Raymond and Cololin and then separated, and the crazy miss, attachment and love of Raymond were all left in the world of external memory. Cololin must have read him more than once. In the heart-read his love for himself.

In other words, the thoughts of his admiration were already unobstructed in Cololin’s eyes.

How did he interpret this feeling? Is it admiration for him? Or is it love at first sight in an instant?

No wonder he said that his purpose is very simple. Cololin must think that because Opal is in love with him, he wants to follow him at all times, learn the power of faith for him, and become a star knight… After all, Ledgerson arranged all of this.

But doesn’t he have the slightest affection for Colorin due to the dislocation of his image? Even Opal himself is a little confused. Raymond is his copy. Colorin created a self who is exactly the same from personality to behavior pattern many years ago. Now that I see the ontology, can it be understood as Opal and Raymond were separated for thousands of years. When they met again, they were still the same people, but everything was different.

If you and Raymond are separated for a thousand years, ten thousand years, will he still be him when we meet again?

Opal is completely lost.

He followed Cororin and realized that he was thinking too much. He didn’t know when Cororin would read his heart, and he was unaware of it, but if he was silent for a long time, the other party You will definitely find something wrong.

“Is it not good to be simple?” Opal said.

Corallin stepped on a skateboard and slowly slid across the transparent glass corridor in the sky, saying: “Your attachment is different from mine. This belief will always be questioned by myself. It can last for hundreds of years. It has been stable for thousands of years, but one day it will be replaced by other ideas.”

“Opal, I don’t want you to take my beliefs as your own beliefs. You must have your own ideas and goals.”

Opal chased after him, the two crossed the west corridor, Opal asked again: “Your Majesty, what is your belief?”

Cololin glanced at him, Opal was a little nervous uncomfortably.

He sat down in the middle of the hallway, motioned Opal to sit opposite him, and the two sat cross-legged.

“Let us follow behind the star knight Nolan, to find the origin of this world until the day when the universe collapses, are you willing?” Coralin stared at Opal’s eyes and said in a deep voice.

Opal nodded and said: “Yes, I am willing.”

Cololin said: “If you betray me, I will end your life with my own hands. You must ensure that every word now is worthy of your soul. From now on, you must be loyal to me and no longer be affected by others. Belief affects and shakes.”

“What you have come into contact with before this moment, any hostile thoughts against me, and prejudices against me are no longer valid. I say this and forgive your past at the same time.” Cololin looked at Opal’s eyes , The palm of his hand smoothly passed in front of him: “Whether we were enemies or close friends in the past, all our previous affairs are wiped out. The past is no longer important. You have a future dominated by yourself.”

Opal was shocked secretly, but he had no time to think. He stared at Cololin’s palm. At this moment, he could no longer have the idea of confronting him, and replied seriously: “Yes.”

They were sitting at an altitude of 10,000 meters from the ground, and Cololin said, “Today I will teach you the first lesson, faith, and belief as a star knight.”
