The Star Knight

This spaceship is quite dilapidated. Opal searches his memory and knows that it was snatched from the pirates.

The ship was in a mess, filled with oily parts and energy pools. It took four full days to reach the nearest starry sky gate to the neutral territory of the Lanser Galaxy.

Sang said: "We can use the Star Gate of the Puens Chamber of Commerce to go to the Phantom Star or the female star, which are all members of the Dark Alliance."

Opal clasped his knees and sat on the edge of the console, staring at the starry sky outside the porthole. These days he didn't speak a word, thinking all the time, he kept feeling the life of the stranger on Sphinx. Memories and emotions for him.

"The members of the Dark League have established a pass node with Iszul." Sang said: "Please choose your route."

Opal said: "Master Sang, in the eyes of your phantom star, is there only one title for human beings?"

Sang said: "Yes, the name doesn't mean much to us."

Opal asked: "Do you want to go home and see? If we want to go back, we will pass the fantasy star."

Sang said: "I don't care. For us, Phantom Star doesn't have a great sense of belonging."

Opal set the route to the female star, saying: "But for humans, this may not be the case. We are all attached to the long-lived planet. I heard that you come from a higher-dimensional universe? "

Sang: "Your curiosity is very strong. Yes, for us, the only thing that refers to'home' is magic blue fluorite."

Opal smiled, sitting on the swivel chair, the spacecraft began to jump, countless white lights flickered past, the spacecraft rushed out of the five-dimensional space outside the female Luoxing.

The four dark starry gates revolve around the female star. This planet is different from when he and Raymond came. The canopy of the female girl shows a dark tan spot, and the withering is like an unstoppable disease. , Spreading slowly on the mother of the female dill.

In the second jump, the Star Gate sent a communication: "Star Alliance Gate B2713, identity verification."

Before Opal opened his mouth, the core of Sang lit up, and the communication over there said: "Welcome back to Iszul, Master Sang, and His Majesty Korolin looks forward to your visit."

With a hum, the spaceship was sucked into the fifth dimension again.

The Dark Star Alliance is different from the transition technology used by the Interstellar Astronautics Association. There is no white line of stars and no discomfort caused by the impulse during the transition. The porthole is only darkened suddenly, and it lights up a little bit. I don’t know what is there. Gradually conceived in the dark, countless blurred lights gradually clear, showing stars in the distance.

"Successful jump."

The spaceship accelerates, leading to a strange galaxy with an orange giant star as a star.

There are tens of thousands of planets around this galaxy, and the central star is called Iszul. The yellow light rises and falls, like a huge heart.

Opal opened the star map, entered the name, and found no record of this star.

His star map and everything remained in the Sanctuary of Stars, including the gems that Azeroth gave him, Raymond's necklace, and the star map that Rector gave him.

Before he left, he forgot to ask Rector to ask if the owner of the star chart was Colleen, but that was not important, and Opal would see him soon.

The pirate's star chart doesn't record the position of the star. Isn't Iszul in the Big Astronautical Association?

"There is no information about it." Sang's voice sounded in Opal's mind: "This star is only 1,400 years old."

Opal narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't such a young star very unstable?"

"It is an artificial star." Sang said.

Opal: "..."

Artificial stars!

Opal could hardly believe that the orange giant star in front of him was a work of man. He trembled: "Can stars be made by humans?!"

Sang: "Yes, Caroline made it more than a thousand years ago, and waited for thousands of years. The surrounding planets formed a galaxy under the traction of its gravitational field, and you will immediately see the Dark Star Alliance. 'S main star is now, and its name is Light Grip."

The spacecraft passed through the dense space station and entered the inner planetary system. Opal switched to manual driving. It passed another level along the way and slowly approached the planet.

It was a light-colored planet, as clean as a marble in the universe. The light that Iszul cast on it showed different characteristics through the refraction of the atmosphere. The edge of the western hemisphere is light purple, and the spectral wavelength is constant. Shorten until burgundy in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Opal understands why it is called the Grip of Rotating Light. Such a beautiful planet is like the masterpiece of the Creator.

"Master Sang." There was a communication from the space station: "Welcome to the Grip of Light, you are welcome to land on the central apron."

Close to the surface, Opal saw the city here, this is the territory of the king of the meteorite-without the haze and fog he imagined, nor the black steel castle and the sky-high energy fire, the buildings went straight to the sky, brown The tone is off-white, and the entire planet is planned in an orderly manner.

Thousands of small spaceships took off and landed. The central apron was like a beautiful garden. The rusty and mottled spaceships came to a halt. Opal has been waiting for the robots and the police or the army to be inspected.

However, nothing happened. He opened the cabin door and a ray of sunlight came in. People outside came and went. There were humans in military uniforms and intelligent creatures like tourists.

The gravity coefficient is 1.0, and the proportion of oxygen is 22%, which is very suitable for the planet where humans live.

The little robot came up from all sides and helped them wipe the spaceship. Opal said: "How much? Wait, I didn't bring the money out..."

A soldier came and said, "Who are you without money? Foreigners? Let me see your travel documents..."

A ball of rubble rolled out of the cabin, whirling and twirling to form an aggregated vortex shape, and the phantom star changed shape.

The soldier immediately saluted the gravel and said, "Excuse me for offending."

Sang’s voice sounded in Opal’s mind and said, “Let’s go.”

Opal followed the Phantom Star and walked out of the central apron all the way. The biggest difference here is that it is almost a regular army with strict discipline. An officer hurried over and asked: "Do you need any help? I take the order of the chief. To help you, he sees you with humans."

Sang communicated with him briefly, and the officer turned on the communicator and called a car. He asked Opal and Phantasy to get on the car. Opal said: "Where are you going?"

"Welcome to the Grip of Light." The officer said: "Our destination is New Phoenix, which is the capital of the Grip of Light, and expresses the meaning of rebirth in ancient earth language."

Opal nodded and asked, "My name is Opal, what is your name?"

The officer smiled politely and said, "Meteorite Corps Capital Guard, Seventy-one Army 208, Lieutenant, Robin."

Opal looked at the scenery outside the car, his expression a little sigh.

"For the first time in Iszul?" Robin asked voluntarily: "This is my communication number, you can... uh."

Opal laughed: "I don't have a communicator, I don't even have a small robot at home. Do you want to take me to drink?"

Robin laughed and said, "Why are you so confused?"

Opal said: "I just came from Sphinx."

Robin enters a communication code and hands him the chip, saying, "There is my contact information."

Opal: "Do you usually live in the army? How is the calendar here calculated?"

Robin said: "The Dark Star Alliance uses the cosmic calendar, the rotation period of the grip of the optical rotation is 24 hours, which is counted as one day, and the revolution period is 365 days."

Opal nodded and said, "This is not quite what I expected."

The maglev car was flying on the road, Robin said: "Many people have misunderstood us, this is not important, look at it with your eyes, you will like it here."

The maglev vehicle travels through a green field into a giant city and drives directly to the tallest building in the center.

Its overall appearance is a bit like the city of the soul of war on the star. The difference is that it is more magnificent and more technological. The new Phoenix does not feel like Opal at all. It is not like the world ruled by the king of the meteorite. It is vibrant and diverse. The vehicles flowed endlessly, but in order.

"Allow outside objective light to take pictures?" Opal asked.

"Of course." Robin smiled. "The Celian River is very beautiful. If you are not busy, you can go there. There are all kinds of entertainment facilities. There are many places in the entire planetary system suitable for vacation, as well as the ocean. Star. Green Mercury has joined the Dark League, and I heard that Sphinx is also considering...Here, this is the city of the meteorite, where His Majesty Caroline lives and works."

Robin's car stopped in front of a building, and the security here is still weak.

Opal asked again: "Where does your family live? Do you often go home?"

Robin was a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "Why, do you want to come to my house to play?"

Opal said: "Curious to ask, it doesn't matter."

Robin said: "On the V16 planet not far from here, you are free to entertain you to play."

Opal nodded: "Okay."

Robin signaled: "Are you...I mean, it's a little rude to let a Phantom Star guest wait too long."

Opal noticed that Sang had left the maglev vehicle and was waiting aside. He got out of the car and said goodbye to Robin, saying, "It's nice to meet you."

Robin paid a military salute to him and turned the maglev to leave.

Sang: "Follow me, boy."

Opal followed Sang to climb nearly a thousand steps. His figure was very small in front of the obsidian steps. The thick black outer wall of the city of meteorite refracted the noonday sun.

Opal couldn't help thinking about the people here, recalling Robin's words and deeds. They were not as indifferent and stereotyped as he thought. He felt that Robin seemed to have something in his words, but he didn't know why.

Sang said in Opal’s consciousness: [The man has a slightly negative emotion for you, but still expresses true respect for you.

Opal: [Because I asked too much?

Sang: [No, he is kind and friendly to you, but your inquiry carries a misunderstanding of the Meteor Legion and pity for the soldiers, so he is not very happy.

Opal said: [I didn’t mean that... uh.I'm sorry, I will apologize to him next time.

Sang: [Humans are life imprisoned by the body. You cannot see each other’s souls, so you often misunderstand each other.

Opal and Sang entered the city of Meteorite, where several high-ranking officers talking in a low voice stood, saluting together when they saw them.

Sang paused briefly, and an officer made a "please" gesture, saying, "Please come with me."

Sang's communication with the rest of Opal was completely inaudible. He followed behind the officer and looked at his shoulder badge. There were three stars on it.

The officer took them to a corridor, where there were two guards. Opal noticed that the soldiers here were very good in temperament, figure, and appearance, almost at the same level as the stars.

Sang took Opal through the empty corridor and entered another room. The officer took out the ID card, fingerprint and ID card for double verification, and signaled them to stand on a platform.

"The guard here does not seem to be tight." Opal suddenly said.

With a smile on his back, he said, "How old are you?"

Opal asked: "What rank are you?"

Both sides are asking questions, and neither is answering each other's questions.

The platform slowly ascended, and the officer saluted the illusion star.

Opal said: "I am twenty years old...It should be twenty-one now. You look about the same size as me."

The handsome officer said: "I'm much older than you. If you can see him later, please don't be too courteous, just like you are now."

Opal nodded: "Thank you."

Alan added: "There are some defenses in places you can't see, but the city of Meteorite basically doesn't need too many guards, because His Majesty Caroline is his most powerful defense force."

"Right." Opal murmured: "He is very strong."

"You are about the size of the Aurora Falcon." Allen said, "Come on."

The platform stopped, Sang took Opal out, walked through several corridors, and went down a central spiral staircase, into the open space, where many soldiers and civilians were chatting, and when they saw Sang, they bowed slightly to salute For a time, everyone's eyes focused on it and Opal.

Entering the hallway and exiting the hallway, Opal was almost lost and walked for a full twenty minutes. Sang took him to a hall where two people were standing. When he saw Opal coming in, he watched together. He and Sang.

Sang's voice said in Opal's mind: [Child, my task is completed, goodbye.

Opal: "!!!"

"Wait... wait! Master Sang!" Opal almost shouted, but the gravel decomposed silently, as if turning into countless molecular atoms in the air, penetrating the glass wall outside the hall and disappearing into the distance.

Just left?!Opal hadn't recovered yet. He ran to the glass wall and looked at the sky in the distance. He suddenly found himself already in a very high place. The city at his feet was endless, and the distant mountains were rolling.

He looked for a while, turned around, and looked at the other two.

They are all males. One is tall and thin and bears a stubble, carrying a long alloy stick, the other is very handsome, his eyebrows are raised, and he greets Opal actively: "My name is Bivis, hello ."

Opal shook hands with him, said his name, and shook hands with the man with no borders, knowing that his name was Connor.

competitor?Opal initially had his own ideas.

"Where did you come from?" the Qingxiu boy asked, "Is that the phantom star just now?"

Opal said: "Well, he...want to introduce me to Caroline... Your Majesty."

Connor said: "This is the first time I have seen a phantom star."

Qingxiu boy said, "Me too."

The three briefly greeted a few words. Opal wanted to go to the sun for a while. Then he walked to the glass wall and talked with them about the place. Connor was a logistics man who worked under the pirate, and his name was Bi. The handsome boy of Weiss was the youngest son of a merchant family of a galaxy in the imperial jurisdiction.

They said "the first time I saw the Phantom Star", and it can be inferred that the other two were not recommended by the Phantom Star, and there should be other channels.

Opal said: "I used to be a miner, and later lived in Sphinx for a while. I met a strange phantom star a week ago..."

"Three gentlemen." The officer's voice interrupted their conversation, which happened to be Major General Allen who had just brought Opal and Sang up.

"Master Carolyn still has some time to meet you," Allen said. "He is having an important meeting. From this corridor, to the left hand side of the hall, there is a dedicated cafeteria. Three meals are free. After the meal, please follow the number on the sign to rest in the room, do not move around casually."

The three went to pick up the sign, and Allen took away their ID cards. Opal and the newly-recognized friends went to the cafeteria to order food. The lunch was very rich. People around them occasionally glanced at them, but no one came. Ask their identity.

"Bivis." Connor asked. "Do you know what we are here for?"

The handsome boy shrugged and said, "I heard that he wanted to recruit members of the Guards. Is that true? Opal, did the Illusionist reveal anything to you."

Opal thought for a while, and according to his own memory, said: "The Phantom Man told me he needs someone to help, and asked me if I would like to join the Meteor Legion. I can learn a lot with Caroline."

"The key depends on what he is willing to teach you." Connor said: "I guess he needs someone to help him perform some dangerous task."

"Choose one of the three of us?" The Qingxiu boy was a little puzzled and asked, "Or does it mean that there is task assignment?"

"Who knows?" Opal said indifferently: "If you can't choose me, I hope he will give me some travel expenses to go back, do you want to stay?"

Beavis said: "My dad said this opportunity... is very important to our family. Let's make an appointment."

Opal raised his eyebrows and motioned to him.

Beavis said: "No matter who of us will stay, we will help each other in the future."

Connor smiled: "Of course."

Opal thought for a while and said, "I don't like to promise this kind of thing. If you stay, don't care about me. If I stay, I will take care of you properly. Is that all right?"

Bivis was relieved and the three reached a preliminary agreement.

"I heard that he can read people's hearts." Connor whispered: "When you see him, don't think of any disrespect for him."

Bivis's face was a bit unnatural, saying: "Our whole family respects him very much, he only charges very little tax on where we are..."

Opal said: "Forget it, it is not a fantasy star, no matter how strong it is, it is human. It is impossible. Many leaders like to keep mysterious and make up some of their abilities, so as to deter their men and enemies...you can control yourself. How to say, can you still control what you think?"

The two nodded, knowing that consciousness is difficult to control.

After eating, Opal returned to the bedroom according to the location on the pass. This is an officer's resting place, which is clean and tidy, and also has a bathroom.

He took a bath, sat on the bed in a vest and panties, opened all the drawers that could be opened and took turns to watch it once.

There are fantasy heavens and dream machines, but he doesn't want to play.

There is also a goggle-type information terminal. Opal puts on the goggles and turns on the light screen. There is a bunch of stand-alone games. There are simulated spaceship driving, planet management and development, simulated love, shooting, arms war chess, etc. I tried to connect to the galaxy Internet in the lower right corner. I needed a passcode, so I gave up the idea of ​​going online. I just opened a game and played for a while. It was very boring. I took off my glasses and fell asleep in bed.

It was another dreamless sleep. It seemed that Opal had not had a dream for a long time. When he woke up, he felt very tired, as if he had never slept.

Maybe it's a new relationship that doesn't fit well... Opal moved uncomfortably and continued to sleep on his stomach.

I don't know how long I slept. He yawned, and it was dark outside the window. This time I slept a little better. He put on his clothes and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Beavis was in a daze in the corner, looked up at Opal, and made an advisory look.

Opal wanted to talk to a military officer, but Bivis's face was not so good, so he had to sit opposite him.

"Conner is gone," Beavis said. "He didn't know where he went."

Opal said: "Does he...have a mission? Or where has Korolin arranged to go, have you asked these soldiers?"

Beavis said: "I asked, but they are not clear, this is classified."

With a little fear in his eyes, he said, "Do you think he is still alive?"

Opal said: "Don't think about it, nothing will happen, it may be to let him go home."

After they had dinner, Bivis was half-eaten, and Allen came and said, "Hello, sir, Master Caroline, have time, do you mind meeting with him at this time?"

Bivisden became nervous immediately and asked, "Let's be together?"

Allen said: "No, only you."

Beavis nodded and followed Allen away.

Opal watched him leave and continue to eat.

After dinner, Bivis did not return, and Opal returned to the room himself, lying down for a while.

At twelve o'clock, Allen came over and said to Opal that it was his turn.

Opal got dressed and quickly walked up the hall stairs with Allen and entered a corridor. Allen led him to a person and said, "This is the person recommended by Master Sang. Opal, this is Koror. Lord Lin’s secretary."

Opal nodded and noticed one thing—

"He didn't have his own soldiers?" Opal asked.

Allen said: "No, he doesn't need his own soldiers. Go in."

The secretary opened the door and walked into a large room, signaling Opal to enter the other side door of the large room.

Opal pushed open the door and walked in, a breath of grass rushed in, and inside was a grand sky garden.

The stars were shining on the zenith, and the street lights were lit on both sides of the garden path. He looked curiously at the sides. The lights of the street lights were soft and warm. At the end of the path was a platform, which could see the splendid night view of the whole New Phoenix.

There seemed to be some celebrations on the distant mountains, which were setting off fireworks, and the colorful light illuminated a small piece of night sky from afar.

"Do you like this place?" A thick voice sounded.

Caroline stood on the platform for a moment, and his back gave Opal a certain illusion.

"It's okay, it's not quite what I expected." Opal replied.

He turned around and said, "Are you called Opal?"

This is the first time Opal has seen Caroline's appearance, but how many doubts, how many memories, how many guesses, how many feelings have disappeared in this short glance.

Opal's eyes reflected one of the most familiar people in his life, who will never forget-Raymond, if Raymond is old one day, then it must be what he is now, still handsome, still energetic, with a smile in his face With irresistible and fascinating charm.

He understood many things, but his thoughts were like a flood that broke the embankment, completely overwhelming his reason. All emotions about Raymond were cut off by the barrier set by Ledgerson. They were completely blocked in the inner memory world, and the outer memory was left. Crazy and uncontrolled emotions.

That kind of emotion broke away from the carrier and completely vented into his eyes. In the spiritual world of his external memory, it is an unspeakable thing. It is so distinct and so fierce that it almost burns the soul of Opal into ashes.
