Chapter 134 (1/2)
The White River is the most famous scenery in the capital of the king's Wharf. It is like a spiral river rising from the top of the peak of CLEK. It flows down the surface layer by layer. Along the undulating terrain, the king's Wharf is divided into seventy-one circular islands, and the rolling river flows into the deep pit in the center of the capital, forming a magnificent waterfall. .
billions of years before there was no trace of human beings in the universe, a comet hit the king's Wharf, driving its surface into a huge pit with a depth of 10000 meters. In 3007, human explorers arrived at the wharf and named it the abyss of destiny.
Later, the grand astronautics association was built not far from the abyss of destiny. The administrative center of the whole capital was the grand astronautics Association, while the neighborhood of the abyss of destiny became a prosperous commercial and living area.
Since arriving at the king's Wharf, opal has been working hard for a living. Now it is the first time that he can put down his burden and enjoy life with Rickert and Raymond. Three people came to the maple leaf bridge, many drunk adventurers hugged the girl and touched each other's bottles.
”Another era is coming to an end -” someone yelled.
”It's getting worse every year.” His partner echoed: ”the hell of mankind, generation by generation worse...”
At the corner of the street, young monks and soldiers singers played the lute, and their voices echoed in the distant night and under the starlight.
Raymond chose a tavern that didn't look too busy. The three of them walked up to the second floor. Opal said, ”are you OK, teacher.”
ray is tired, but his words are full of spirit. He said, ”I didn't go there in vain. Let's talk about you first.”
Ramon told Rex about what happened in the land of arc of light. Opal noticed that he had omitted a lot of internal information, including opal driving Phoenix to fly out of the atmosphere to pursue legeson. At that time, Raymond still stayed on the ground to fight with Kyle ray. What did they talk about? Raymond didn't mention it to ractor.
Opal took a look at Raymond and did not express much objection. Finally, he added, ”the Pope's whereabouts are unknown. I don't know when I can find him.”
”You can think of him as dead,” he said
Raymond took a sip of the rose wine and said, ”he is dead indeed.”
”No, Raymond, I mean, he may have been longing for death, and in the end, though it was a little tortuous, he finally got it.”
Opal: No, he didn't want to
”Isn't that what regison analyzed? I believe that no one in this universe knows the Pope better than legeson. After all, he has always regarded drummon as an imaginary enemy. When the shepherd was born and raised by dramon himself, he speculated to me more than once: drummon was tired of endless life and wanted to pass the Pope's position to the shepherd. Anyway, I think that's the end of the matter. Maybe I'll meet drummon in the future
Raymond was silent, as if thinking about some difficult decision. Ractor noticed his silence, which was almost abnormal.
”I have two messages.” ”On the issue of liexing, the pirate king soron intervened in the internal affairs of liexing, and planned to take the opportunity to support the mercenary revolution and overthrow the current mercenary king, inleco kaqis, in the near future Tyranny? That seems to be the case
As expected, opal's way of thinking really started, and lektor said, ”so we should go to liexing. Now many forces are staring at the land of mercenaries. Its ownership will determine the transformation of the whole star.”
Raymond said, ”why? I don't quite understand. The strong star has such a big effect? ”
”Yes, because carltes made a statement in private not long ago, he opened up two battlefields for Alex and Baroque,” he said. The great astronautics Association and the land of mercenaries. The emperor hinted to Prime Minister Descartes that the glory project should be regarded as the trial of two princes. Whoever controls these two institutions first and completes the glorious plan and takes the land of mercenaries and the great astronautics association under the imperial command will be the successor of the lion system. ”
Opal immediately said, ”this is not fair!”
Ractor laughed.
Opal didn't know what to say at all. He said in disbelief: ”the fight between the two princes is going to take the country of mercenaries into operation?”
”This is the normal between the stars, and the history is always the same. The test of the inheritors can't be put in their own country. Of course, I don't agree with this solution, but the teacher can't influence the emperor's decision-making, so he can only change the situation on the star as much as possible.”
Raymond pondered for a moment, and then said, ”will they fight at the burning star?”
”There is a great possibility that, yes, the Republic will not sit by and watch the Rotman family make plans, because Justin, the newly appointed nobleman who returned to the Empire, on behalf of tifeng, and the new pope both chose the Baroque side. If the Baroque camp is completely defeated, then Alex's next target will certainly take the Vatican and the Republic for a knife.”
Opal said, ”do we have to go now?”
”Another problem is that on Jin Yaoxing, after my investigation, I found that Alex had imprisoned the chairman of the grand astronautics Association,” said Rex
Opal:!! ”
Raymond frowned slightly, which coincided with the information they had just received at a meeting in the association.”So we have to split up.” ”All the way to liexing, he helped the king of mercenaries to keep his throne, and on the other, he went to jinyaoxing to rescue chairman Douglas
Raymond asked, ”does the GSA know about the president's imprisonment?”
Lecter slowly shook his head and looked into Raymond's eyes. Opal said, ”how could you not know?”
”He went to negotiate with empress Yinni and asked to keep the status of the grand astronautics Association, but Yinni put him under house arrest. Maybe it is true in the information I got. I need an assistant. Who of you will come with me?” he said
Opal said, ”I'll go to the strong star, Raymond. You will accompany the teacher to Jin Yaoxing.”
Raymond nodded and said, ”can you handle the situation of strong star?”
Opal said, ”it should be OK, teacher. Look.”
He took off the ring and put it in front of ractor, who had noticed the ring for a long time, but had not asked any questions. Only now did he pick it up. The jewel twinkled the light on the tavern ceiling, casting a dense halo, just like a solid.
”Lord Phoenix.” ”The ancient gods are on our side, indeed,” he said. This time the teacher is sure to win. Opal, I think the best thing is for you to follow me to Jinyao, Ramon to Lieh
Opal frowned and said, ”but Raymond doesn't have mecha...”
”You can stay out of the war for the time being, or you can ask for a photon 3700 from ileco,” raikker said. The sooner things on our side can be solved, the sooner we can leave to support you. The situation in the imperial political field is much more complicated than you think. I need the spiritual help of opal. ”
Raymond thought for a moment and said, ”it's OK. Maybe Kyle ray will appear in the strong star.”
”It will be in liexing, he is the most important piece in this war. The former mercenary king wants to recover his kingdom,” said rakert
Opal was a little worried about the status quo of liexing, and that Raymond would not be able to cope with it. However, since ractor insisted, he had to be separated from Raymond temporarily according to his assignment.
”You go shopping.” ”When NASA opens tomorrow morning, we'll finish our mission report and we'll start off,” raikker said
Opal had a lot to say to ractor, but since they were going to act together, there was still a lot of time to go. In the evening, the three men separated temporarily. Opal and Raymond wandered around looking for something to eat. They had nothing to do, so they went back to the second floor of the tavern together.
Ractor leaned against the window and gazed into the abyss of fate in the distance. In front of him was a small pot of Sphinx frozen milk coffee. The light of the candle leaped and reflected on his face. .
”back again?” He said.
”There's no place to go.” Raymond said, and opal into the card seat, the three people are so silent do not speak, opal hands over and over washing a deck of cards, want to start with what topic about Kyle ray, replicator and Raymond.
After all, with ractor there, he might be able to give Ramon some advice.
”Teacher.” Raymond said, ”do you have any wishes in your life?”
”When I was a slave, I dreamed of having a little planet of my own, where plants were planted, food was prepared, and a rescue station was set up to give food to the vagrants in the universe,” he said. Listen to the stories they bring from all over the planet. ”
Opal said, ”now?”
”Now I don't have a lot of ideas. Be an adventurer and live with you. ”
Raymond said, ”did Nolan save you from the slave planet?”
”I've always been grateful to him for opening the door to a new world for me,” he said, nodding slowly
Opal flipped his cards and said, ”I find that there is a big difference between the minds of the illusionists and the human beings.”
Ractor said, ”Nolan told me that he needed to choose a person, one who had suffered from darkness and pain since childhood, and vowed to break everything. Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that Colin is more suitable for his successor
”Why do you do that?” Raymond frowned and asked, ”can't ordinary people or nobles be Knights of the stars?”
”The struggle of the last man and the mission of Superman.” ”It's too complicated to say, and when I chose Caroline and opal, I unconsciously followed the rules that Nolan had given me. Hollius was a special case in a critical situation, and the stardom chose four people in succession - me, regison, Colin, opal
”On the four of us.” ”They all share the same characteristics,” rakert mused
”Have you been slaves?” Opal asked, ”did you ever do that, too?”
”Legeson It can be said that he did not work hard, but he also experienced a period of questioning himself and hating the rules of civilization. ”
”Well, they come from another universe. They follow a principle and hope to find the original people born in pain and hatred, and break all the universal morality and values. Selfishness, self-sufficiency, freedom. Before the light age, a philosopher said that when God is dead, the transcendent will become the new master. What Nolan has been looking for is this transcendent. ”Raymond said, ”the last man Is the last man referring to people like us? I've heard of that, too
Opal said blankly, ”who has heard of it?”
Raymond said: ”Kyle ray, he mentioned that he thought Colin will be the one who has established a new order of replicators and humans. ”
”Fortunately he did not.” ”After I met opal, I realized Nolan's true belief that he wanted to find someone who would destroy everything and build a new order,” he said
Opal's ring vibrated slightly, and Phoenix's voice rang out, saying, ”rakert, the thought and behavior of wagra's life are not necessarily suitable for this universe.”
”In these years, sir.” ”We're all looking for a way to work,” he said. Opal may be able to open up a new situation. ”
Phoenix replied, ”I hope so, Rex.”
The two sides stopped talking, and ractor said, ”Raymond, would you like to play a game of atomic billiards with me?”
Raymond said happily, ”of course, teacher.”
Lecter summoned the waiter, opened the mini Court on the table, and with a loud, colorful simulation of atoms scattered, the two men put on a single piece of glass, and started.
Opal looked at it for a while. He was a little sleepy, so he slept on Raymond's lap.
”In the face of the enemy's superb skills and endless successors, you only need to do one thing.” ”Follow your innermost guidance,” says rakett
”No matter who it is?” Raymond said.
Rickert nodded slowly, and the number on the scoreboard kept turning up. He said in a deep voice: ”no matter how many appearances confuse you in front of you, you must adhere to your original starting point. When you start the first Collider, the fate of the whole game will be determined.”
”But I can't guess what the enemy thinks, and sometimes I don't even know...”
”It's normal not to see the whole situation in the field.” ”Jump out at any time, don't let yourself be a part of the Bureau...” he said
It was already light when Opal woke up.
Early in the morning, the king's Wharf was in the sun, opal yawned, and Raymond and Raikkonen were still playing their last pool game.
Rex: ”so don't forget what you meant. Give yourself faith, and you won't lose yourself. ”
”Thank you, teacher.” Ramon turned off the atomic pool machine and got up to check out.
Opal looked at ractor, suspecting that he had guessed many things, but did not say it in front of Raymond.
They went back to the Daewoo Association, but he stayed up all night, but he was very energetic. After breakfast, he looked up a lot of materials and said, ”here is a commission. Ramon, you can take over. It's a historical consultant about the protection of the strong star.”
”Madame Anta?” Asked opal, in a spirit.
Raymond picked up and said, ”protect leifena from the civil war. If possible, ask her to live in Jin Yaoxing for a period of time. The client is anonymous. I'm going to follow.”
Ramon put in all the information about liexing by the way. Opal said, ”time VI is for you. When you get there, remember to see if the smoke and sword mercenaries are still there.”
Raymond said, ”yes, don't worry.”
Opal was still a little uneasy, and told him, ”don't be too anxious to be a hero. First investigate the situation, and then go back and act together when my teacher and I are finished.”
”I see.” Raymond said with a smile, ”long winded.”
He got on the ship, turned around and said, ”opal, I love you.”
Opal said, ”I love you too. Good luck.”
Raymond closes the hatch, time VI lifts off and leaves King's Wharf.
Opal stood for a while, E7 whirled around beside him, as if unwilling to be left behind. Raymond took Xiao Q away, opal took E7 into action. On the way back, E7 gave E7 a little foot, and E7 turned around like a gyroscope.
”Don't you want to be with me? e7。” Asked opal.
E7 Di Di Di lights up to indicate that there is no such thing, cleverly follows behind opal.
Rett was also checking information in the Daewoo Association. Opal got up and said, ”Sir, I'll talk to you about Raymond.”
Ractor raised his hand and motioned to him not to speak. He turned on the light screen, and lines of text leaped across the screen.
Opal leaned over and looked with him over the shoulder of Rex, more like two brothers than apprentices, and the content stopped at one paragraph.
Opal: did Douglas know the queen? He's under house arrest, won't the queen plead for him? ”
”What do you think?” he said
Opal said, ”er I think yini may want to protect the chairman, so she won't let him participate in this matter? ”
”I lied to you, Douglas is fine. He's not under house arrest,” raikker said
Opal:
Rickert copied the information into the E7's memory and said, ”I hid this from Ramon. Actually, I didn't save Douglas. Would you be angry?”Opal frowned and said, ”of course not, but what is the real commission?”
”Let's go to the spaceship and say, dragon ray or Phoenix?”
Opal was excited again for a moment, forgetting other things and saying, ”Phoenix!”
Lecter smiles. Opal stands in the remote part of the tarmac and stretches his left hand. The color ring on his ring finger instantly decomposes. The ruby is suspended in the air and becomes a luminous center. The debris is like a storm of color. In an instant, it sweeps around the body, and then it is assembled and inlaid into a dark space shuttle.
From the bow to the tail of the shuttle, it presents a fiery streamline. Its wings are warped, just like the wings expanding in the sun. The tail slowly drops down to the landing platform. Ractor laughs: ”I didn't expect to be able to ride Phoenix again in thousands of years.”
