The Star Knight - 97. Chapter Ninety Seven
In front of the Meteorite Building, the moment Cororin jumped off the mecha, the gluttonous decomposed again, turning into an anklet wrapped around his sturdy ankle.
Soldiers in the hall came and went, bowed and saluted every time they saw him, and then went on their own, winning a battle was as common as eating a meal.
Four generals followed him, and Andorei said: “Where is your majesty’s new apprentice? That kid did a good job…”
Allen motioned not to ask more with his eyes, and Andorei frowned slightly.
Cororin led the four people into the elevator platform. The King of Meteorite held his right wrist in his left hand, standing thoughtfully in the middle, and the four generals stood calmly.
The tallest brawny man with five stars on his shoulder badge, stroked his hair and smiled: “Your Majesty accepted the apprentice? I haven’t seen it yet.”
Ison stretched out his hand and said, “Only such a tall, very clever kid.”
Cololin interrupted the topic and said, “Caesar, you have white hair. You should go for genetic surgery.”
Caesar smiled helplessly, and Andorei said: “I heard that he fell in love with a beautiful girl from the actress.”
Cololin joked: “So this is the real purpose for me to enter the female star?”
Everyone laughed, and Caesar said, “Andorei introduced me to me, Andorei, what do you think of Ellie?”
With a cry, Ithon blew his whistle.
Andorei said, “Have you successfully tamed that fierce horse?”
Caesar smiled to herself, put on her military cap, and said: “It’s almost like she is like an iceberg. I always don’t know what a woman is thinking in her heart.”
Coralin said to them: “Caesar is obviously in love, so how about letting him go and train the horse?”
Several people booed, Allen laughed and said, “It’s not fair, he just finished his vacation.”
Caesar said: “I’m on duty on the actress.”
Ithon joked: “You are just going to pick up girls, by the way on duty.”
Cololin smiled: “There has been no war recently, you can all have a holiday.”
Isoen smiled and said, “If your Majesty doesn’t take the initiative to fight others, of course there will be no war.”
Corallin said with a serious face: “You still have to fight, but it’s not recently. If you want to take a vacation, please ask for leave. I won’t attend the post-war meeting. I will tidy up the things that should be done.”
The elevator platform stopped on the 500th floor, and the four generals saluted Cororin, exited the elevator platform, and headed to the hall. Cororin continued to ascend, returned to the sky garden on the top floor, and entered the palace.
He sat on the throne for a full night until dawn, and then sat until dusk, cold, fortitude, and handsome face like a sculpture.
The army was sweeping the battlefield, and dawn arrived on the third day.
A ray of morning light plunged into the cell, Opal leaned against the wall of the cell, bent his legs, and put one hand on his knee in a daze.
Everything was over, Reckett’s plan was completely broken, and his identity was discovered.
But I don’t know why, vaguely, he has a feeling of letting go of everything, like a relief.
Opal sighed. He was fortunate enough to taste this, the only person in the universe.
If he grew up by Reckett’s side since childhood, followed him, and fulfilled his beliefs, perhaps he would never forgive Cololin for the rest of his life. Finally, he fought vigorously and died.
Or he was born in the Meteorite Empire, and shared the honor and disgrace with this land. Naturally, he will regard Reckett and the Republic as his life’s feud. Following Cororin, he will become his sword and the sword of aggression, and he will be the one in the process of establishing his empire. A piece of strength.
What will Cololin do next? Will you kill him? It’s okay to kill him, it’s a hundred…
Opal sighed.
“You have sighed one hundred and seventeen times.” A familiar voice said next to the prison.
Opal frowned immediately, this voice awakened his memories, but it was very vague.
“Who are you?”
“Opal?” The man said: “Why are you here? No, why is your voice so tender? I’m Jimmyson!”
Opal: “!!!”
When Jimison spoke, Opal immediately remembered.
“Why are you here?!” Opal said.
“You’ve gotten smaller?” Jimmyson leaned from the cell next door to the railing, where there was a gap where the two could see each other.
Jimmyson had red hair and was still wearing a suit jacket. Opal said, “How long have you been here?”
Jimison: “When did you come?”
Opal: “…”
Jimison: “Don’t worry, I will ask first, and you will answer.”
Jimison: “When did you come?”
Opal: “A year ago, I came to be an undercover agent. My teacher planned a plan, but he failed, so I was arrested.”
Jimmyson was silent for a long time, and Opal asked him: “What about you? Why are you here?”
“My story is very simple.” Jimmyson said: “Before Jamie died, we got a star map about a treasure on two neutron stars…”
Opal remembered, these things are like memories from a lifetime.
“No wonder.” Opal recalled some of the details with difficulty, and said: “I said why I didn’t see you. It turned out that I was arrested by the members of the Meteorite Legion.”
Jimmyson smiled bitterly: “Azeroth is also dead, we are all losers, three losers, plus your teacher. A group of useless, Liexing is about to die.”
Opal has to admit that they are all losers in front of Kolorin.
“He hasn’t seen you?” Opal said.
Jimison: “I saw him when I first caught me, a tall old man with white hair…”
Opal said: “Do you think he is familiar?”
Jimison said: “No, what’s the matter?”
Opal didn’t answer, the two sighed at the same time, and couldn’t help laughing together.
Opal leaned back and said, “You are infected by me.”
Jimison said: “You still like to have fun in hardship.”
Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said: “I am myself again. These days I always feel that I… very painful. I am about to become two people. I am always worried in front of Coralin. It feels uncomfortable…”
Jimison said: “You have such a big hatred of him? Why do you listen to your teacher as an undercover agent?”
Opal said: “I’m for…” He thought of Raymond, but at that moment an unstoppable appearance of Cololin appeared in his mind. This kind of conditioned reflex association was very painful, and he couldn’t remember his lover at all. Every time I want to alleviate the pain by thinking of my lover, I can’t avoid thinking of the enemy who looks exactly the same.
Opal said: “For the Lie Star.”
Jimison smiled.
Opal said: “To tell you the truth, whether you succeed or fail, I feel a lot easier after knowing the result. I am too tired. I am not suitable for this job at all. It will be much easier if I die…”
Jimmyson said: “You don’t have to think about it this way. Jamie and I have been together since we were young and we have never separated. After losing Jamie, I have been thinking a lot these days. Let Raymond speak, Raymond To die to protect the Lie Xing, sacrifice in a vigorous battle, in the eyes of our mercenaries, is an affirmation of the value of life.”
Opal said: “That’s not the same, that’s aggression.”
Jimison sneered and said: “The aggression of the mercenaries is still less? Suppress the planetary rebellion, take the employers to open up wasteland, kill the locals, or you see something good, everyone starts to grab it, you are a mercenary, so I don’t think it is reasonable. Everyone also thinks that good things should be given to those with force, and everyone takes it for granted.”
“The Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group often takes on this kind of task, taking advantage of the laws of the Star Alliance. Also, you haven’t seen Kyle Lei when he is still alive, and he is even more frantic than Zelass. The last two factions He insisted on his own opinions and killed himself. In the end, Azeroth won, and he…”
Opal said: “Cololin said, locked him up forever, why don’t you kill him? It’s weird.”
“Ah, yes.” Jimmyson nodded sympathetically, and said, “You also think he should be killed so as not to leak his words. You see, we all think so. This is the logic of Liexing. Kill when it is time to kill. If you kill too many people, you will inevitably be killed, either by bad guys or by monsters, and occasionally stand in the wrong team and be killed by good guys, eaten in your stomach by strange things…I don’t know Kyle What Lei thinks now, but I think the first king may have been chopped off, and now he is embarrassed and funny. All the people who vowed to follow him have died in vain.”
Opal couldn’t laugh or cry, the hatred, the blood, just said plainly from Jimmyson’s mouth.
Opal said: “If you say so, why are you here for revenge?”
Jimmyson said: “I am obsessed. If Jamie is not my other half of my life, but just a comrade-in-arms, maybe I will not care about it. Ordinary comrades-in-arms have not yet made me pay the rest of my life and bet on revenge, but The one who died was Jamison, so I had to kill Cololin because he took half of my soul… either he died or I died.”
Opal said: “Then I have a reason to kill him.”
Jimison said: “Wait, I guess he will not execute you. He has lived for thousands of years and has always been patient.”
Opal grumbled, what can he do without being executed?
More importantly, he is here to avenge the one he loves.
He leaned against the wall and chatted with Jimmyson about the past of the Liestar. He only had this to say. In his life, only this memory made him a treasure, happy, happy, and Jimmyson knew better than He is more. The two talked about the office, the noisy hall, the task of the wrong version, and the mercenary group that was cheated by the employer…
“Hahahaha—” Opal laughed and tears came out.
Jimmyson laughed out of breath and said, “…you know that guy Ulka…”
Opal said: “What are those two monsters doing?”
Jimison said: “I’ll describe it to you once… the scene was… In a residential house, a tentacled man put its tentacles into the hole above another tentacled man’s head…”
Opal: “Hahahaha-why on earth!”
Jimison: “Ulka didn’t know to go away, standing outside the house and watching… and taking pictures of them…”
Opal: “…”
Jimison: “The two tentacles called the police and shouted hooligans! Hooligans! This kind of thing doesn’t matter, how can you take pictures! Finally, Ulkata…he was accused of spying on the mating of alien races. , Was held in a cell for three months…”
Opal laughed and rolled on the ground. The two laughed together. Suddenly Jimmyson stopped laughing alertly and said, “Hush…”
Opal’s crisp childish voice was still laughing, and after a while he also heard the sound of footsteps.
He barely suppressed the laughter, the two stopped talking, each sitting quietly back to back against the same wall.
The vigorous male voice said: “So optimistic?”
Andorei’s voice said: “I found him and the mercenaries, the soldiers can talk more easily.”
The jailer came over and opened the laser cell door. Opal looked up and saw that Andorei had brought another person with five stars on his shoulder badge. This was the highest-ranking officer he had seen in New Phoenix.
He was wearing a military cap with slightly gray hair under the cap. He was about the same size as Andorei, and he was the oldest, with less obvious crow’s feet in the corners of his eyes, just like an approachable uncle.
“This is Caesar.” Andorei said.
Caesar smiled: “Hello, Opal.”
Opal nodded slightly, thinking he was here to take him away, but saw Caesar in prison. The jailer did not close the cell door, and Andorei came in and set up the table and chair, and sat down on the side.
Caesar nodded at him.
Opal read Caesar’s heart, knowing that he was simply coming to see himself, because he was an apprentice of Cololin, chatting, expressing his care, and no other purpose.
“Is this the nutshell of the mother-of-girls?” Opal noticed a bracelet on Caesar’s hand.
Caesar smiled and said, “Have you seen it too?”
He took off the bracelet and handed it to Opal. Opal looked at the bracelet for a while and returned it to him, saying, “Well, every female star can get one when she is born. The locals will give this nut shell to their lover. .”
Andorei said: “Is there still such a rule? I haven’t heard you say it.”
Caesar laughed, put on the bracelet, nodded, and said, “Yes, Ellie’s sister told me too.”
“Ellie?” Opal seemed to think of the name.
“Chairman of the Actress Union Council.” Caesar smiled: “A strong woman, have you heard of her too?”
“Ah…” Opal remembered, but he replied: “Maybe I have heard that, I also heard that the mother of Nuo Luo likes boys. Have you ever been to the top of the tree?”
Caesar laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, “No, the old man doesn’t have the energy to climb trees, unlike you young people.”
Opal grumbled. The light outside this prison is just right. It is built on the edge of the Meteorite Building. It is three hundred stories high. If you want to escape from the prison, you will not be able to escape. Use the power of faith to control Caesar and Andorei. Take it yourself? As long as he took a step, he would be discovered by Coralin, but now that he doesn’t want to go anywhere.
Andorei got up, walked around in the cell to look at the environment, and said, “The equipment is okay. It should be a private prison set up by your Majesty. Who is next door?”
Caesar said: “A mercenary, the kid Zark captured last time.”
Jimmyson had been listening to their conversation quietly, without speaking.
“Are you older than the teacher?” Opal said.
“No.” Caesar said: “He is the oldest, just like our elder brother, among the seven generals, except for the three sacrificed, my qualifications are already the first to follow him, Andore, Isoen, Ah Lun is my junior, why did Your Majesty lock you up? Is it convenient to talk about? Do you need me to explain to you something that is inconvenient for you to say?”
Andorei looked at Caesar inquiringly. Opal caught what they were thinking in this short moment and said: “I made a mistake and made the teacher angry. Don’t help me intercede.”
Both Caesar and Andorei laughed.
“You can know it in your heart.” Caesar said: “Actually, I just heard that you are here, so I came to see you. Your Majesty may just be in a bad mood for a while, so he won’t be particularly embarrassed.”
Andorei said: “He has his own principles and will not irritate you because of small things. Since you know that you think so, you need to review it for a while.”
Caesar nodded and said, “Young man, understandable.”
Andorei said: “During this period of time, you need to reflect on yourself and think about it. It’s always good.”
Opal knew what they were thinking, and they all believed that Cololin took him into custody temporarily to give him a chance. He didn’t explain his situation anymore. It was easier for him to maintain his current relationship with Caesar and Andore. accept.
Opal said: “I see.”
Caesar took out a bottle of wine, put it on the table, and said, “We will see you again in a while.”
Opal said: “I wish you a smooth relationship.”
Caesar couldn’t help but smile, and even Andorei laughed. Opal said: “Love can make you a lot younger. You should go for a genetic surgery.”
“Yes.” Caesar left the cell and said: “His Majesty has not been injected with fresh blood for a long time. I like you more than the group of Aurora Falcons.”
Andorei said: “Young people always have a vigor that our old man can’t match.”
The two generals left side by side.
Opal turned the bottle on the table, unscrewed the cap of the female laurel spirits, and asked: “Spirits, fine wines, Jimmyson, taste it?”
Jimison said, “Come on, who are those two guys?”
Opal: “Two of the four generals under Colonn…”
Jimmison put his mouth to the fence, Opal held the bottle with both hands and gave him a drink. He drank some more, coming and going, the two emptied a bottle of wine, Opal knocked on the bottle. , Singing loudly in prison.
Outside at night, the galaxy shimmered in the clear sky, Jimmyson began to go drunk, yelling like a coyote, Opal sang loudly the nursery rhymes sung to him by his mother before on B-11.
“Good!” Jimmyson applauded frantically.
Opal said: “Come one by one! It’s your turn!”
The two amused themselves like crazy men, bumping into each other, Jimmyson raised his breath and sang loudly: “The blood and fighting spirit are condensed in our hearts…”
Opal: “Change one for another, don’t come to the national anthem! I’m tired of listening!”
Jimison: “You come one!”
Opal: “Sing to you… what my mother sang… hiccups, the past is no longer, the future is invisible…”
Jimison: “No… it doesn’t sound good!”
The sound of footsteps came again, Opal’s face flushed with drinking, and the child’s drunk eyes were hazy, and asked: “Is there any more wine?”
“Someone wants to see you.” The leading officer said.
Opal’s body is too small. It used to be not so easy to get drunk when drinking Nvluo fruit wine. However, Caesar brought no ordinary goods. Half a bottle of aged wine was digested by the body of a ten-year-old child. The alcohol concentration Enough to make him muddled, walking dangling.
“I wish you a long life–” Jimmyson said helplessly, leaning against the fence, “See you again in the next life–”
“You too, comrade-in-arms–” Opal said, “Don’t miss me…”
The officer took the opal out, stood on the lifting board, and finally stopped outside the sky garden, and made a sign of please with one hand to signal him to enter.
“Your Majesty has something to ask you.” The officer said.
Opal staggered into the sky garden, and the fresh night breeze made him sober.
What does Cololin want to ask him? Opal’s heart was beating. He didn’t expect that he would face this unavoidable interrogation so soon. He turned around subconsciously, and wanted to go back to the prison, but thought it was impossible.
He walked to the edge of the platform, and thought that if he jumped down, he would be overwhelmed…but when he thought about it, he would always come.
He dragged his weary footsteps and boarded the main entrance of the palace. In the darkness, the ceiling on the top of the palace was swirling with natural starlight.
The exterior wall of the entire palace became a piece of transparency, as if cast by crystal, light refracted on the pillars, walls, and ceiling, like another star lake full of radiance and dreams.
Cololin sat on his throne, looking at Opal.
Opal stood in the middle of the hall, and at that moment he suddenly felt that he was very small, so insignificant.
Cololin said: “Looking at your short-lived, rare, fleeting sincerity and feelings for me, I give you a chance to reform and renew, let go of your past, and follow me from today. By my side, let’s forget everything.”
Opal stood alone in the hall, drunk on him, looked at him blankly, and gave his own answer after a long time.
“No.” He said: “You are not Raymond, I am still Opal, I will not give in.”
