Chapter 109 (1/2)
A long time before opal buried his head in ractor's chest, Lecter touched his head and said, ”I'm sorry, opal.”
”No Opal said, ”don't say that, teacher. I betrayed you.”
”Don't blame yourself, opal,” he said
Opal let go of him. At this moment, his mood in the face of ractor was still complex. He did not do what lakert had given him, and even did not choose his own position. His heart was still yielding to, or even quite submissive to, Colin. He was ashamed of ractor and himself, but when he saw him again, he still rushed forward to hold him with impulse and instinct.
However, after the two separated, he suddenly thought of a lot of things - their relationship was very embarrassing.
Perhaps that's why ractor didn't want to meet him.
”How did you get here?” As if nothing had happened, ractor opened the conversation. He went to the table, poured opal some wine, and poured himself a glass of bramble.
Opal briefly came back from Raymond's identity and said, ”come to investigate one thing, me and I became an adventurer. ”
”I think adventurers are better for you than mercenaries, opal,” he said with a smile, as if unaware of his nervousness
Opal said, ”Oh no, adventurers are too difficult. They need a lot of contacts. You see, without you, I can't even get into this party.”
”The big astronautics Association likes to use Horace's famous saying that we should use our brains to solve problems, not to fight. I believe that even without me, you can successfully get involved. ”
Opal said, ”is hollius strong? How is he? Is it cunning? ”
”He's short, as tall as you are now, but he's the star knight I admire the most, except Nolan. He's smart, thoughtful, and patient. He's prepared for a long time. You'll get used to this pattern. Hollius doesn't like to fight alone. He rarely starts Saber Toothed tigers. Most of the time, he relies on his brain to win battles. From this point of view, Colin is a little like him
Opal suddenly thought of something, he said: ”teacher, you come because of him Did he have any assassination? ”
Ractor held his arm and said, ”no, not because of him, just because of another student of mine.”
Another thing opal found was that the silver bracelet on ractor's wrist was gone.
Lecter noticed that opal was looking at his hand and stretched out his left hand. On his wrist was the string of artificial stone beads that opal had given him a long time ago - a bracelet bought for 400 energy points on B11.
”You still have it,” opal said with a smile
”All the time.” ”There was a break in the middle, and Molly helped me put it on,” rakert said
Opal said, ”where's the Dragon ray?”
”He's sleeping in the stardom. Do you want to see him?” he said
Opal said, ”he a dead sleep? Why don't you take it with you? I mean... ”
”Let's go for a walk over there. What would you like to eat?” said ractor
Opal left the Moonlight Path and walked towards the green pine forest. Opal had too many questions to ask and many problems to solve. The most important thing was that Raymond was playing a clown in the luxurious hall. What would happen if he knew about it?!
”I knew that Colin wanted to kill again.” ”Who's his target this time?” rakert said casually
Opal said: ”I'm not sure. He did have this idea before. Maybe it was the Emperor...”
Opal hesitated, but ractor said, ”he has done his duty as a teacher to you. There is no personal resentment between him and me. The duel is because we have to correct each other's mistakes with our lives. I don't hate him, so you don't have to bear too much burden, opal.”
Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”really, I'm sorry, teacher. I tried my best. Sometimes I think of what you taught me a long time ago. You said that some things can't be done by faith. It's true. I can't do many things. You punish me. I am willing to accept any punishment to show my apology to you, but there are many things that I will still do and choose even if I do it again. ”
”I didn't intend to punish you, opal. I put the Dragon ray in the star sanctuary and planned to live a normal life. Because I failed, I had to reflect on myself and accept failure. Now it's just your friend Rex, not your teacher, as a star knight
Opal:!! ”
Opal didn't know what to say for a moment. Ractor motioned for him to continue along the road.
Opal said, ”did you give up, teacher?”
”No, I didn't give up, opal. I've been thinking a lot these days. On the first day I met you, when you came running with a battery to charge the Dragon ray, I couldn't understand why my faith couldn't beat Caroline. You woke up the fire of my faith. But I was too impatient. I mistakenly thought that this was an opportunity given me by fate, because you made me feel the responsibility of teaching again. After several thousand years of Colin's leaving, I realized the mood of cultivating a person again. So I gathered this belief and tried to fight against Colin again, but I still failed. ”Opal listened in silence. Ractor said, ”after the second failure, I recalled our meeting. The fire of faith was briefly rekindled, not because of cultivating you, but because I knew a friend worthy of my protection. I even regret that I should not allow you to develop on your own, but should take you to the star shrine. We all live together as relatives of each other, teach you all I will and feel the beauty of being accompanied. It's a pity I missed you. ”
”I'm really stubborn. I fought with Colin for thousands of miles with my own knowledge, but I didn't have any idea to experience the feelings and life of human beings.” ”So I can't tell what my belief is. I have no family members, no friends, no strong persistence, no motivation to win. In the end, I even found that I can't even protect you. How can I fight against Colin?” said raikker? So I think clearly, I intend to put down the idea of fighting him and live a life of ordinary people. ”
Opal nodded and said, ”I see, sir.”
”We failed because I lost myself in these long years,” laughs rakert
”It's not too late to understand,” opal said
Reke nodded his head and said, ”it's never too late for a man to understand what he really needs to do.”
Opal said, ”Oh, maybe what I need most is money. I found that since I came to King's Wharf, my belief is to revolve around money...”
”I think a lot of enjoyment is free. In this universe, the free is more than the charge,” he said
”Is it like this?” opal said
”No, of course not. It's also money in essence. Empire people always like to eat gluttonous food. It's one of the seven crimes, which is not good.”
Opal said, ”but if you want to live like an ordinary person, it's necessary to live like this. I think compared with the liquid food of the Republic Eh... ”
”They overeat in virtual networks, too. It's good to be satisfied properly. If anything goes too far, it's terrible. Come with me.”
He took food and opal to the lawn. The green pine forest was noisy and lively. Opal chose a quiet place with few people to sit on the lawn to eat with ractor.
”Maybe one day you will do something for In order to... ” With a fork, opal suddenly thought, ”beat the old man for food Sorry, I still can't change my mouth. ”
Lequet really can't do anything with opal. Opal said, ”why don't you call him black teacher? How about calling you white teacher.”
