The Star Knight - Chapter 111
“Liexing…” “It’s a very complicated place. I can’t define it. I don’t think even the previous mercenary kings can tell what the planet means,” he said
Opal, with a shaggy hair and a yawn, followed ractor through an alley. At two o’clock in the afternoon, he had just woken up and was still in a daze when he came to look for him.
This is the most crowded place in dandelion square. After taking him to a simple lunch, the two of them crowded through the crowd and finally left the noisy central area.
Lecter was wearing sunglasses, and today he was wearing a suit that looked like a technician’s suit, with a number plate “13” on his shoulder.
“I think it has extraordinary significance for me and for Colin,” opal said
“Liexing” is a big dye vat. There is no position of justice and evil on this planet. During the reign of Kyle ray, he was very crazy. When Azeroth succeeded, the mercenary union tended to be disordered and chaotic. Do you understand what the teacher said, opal
Opal has known Rex for such a long time, but from time to time he still finds his words a little confusing. He said, “I can roughly understand. You mean, what mercenaries do is not necessarily good or bad.”
Rick nodded his head and said, “chaos is the middle zone between light and darkness. The strong gain wealth and prestige, while the weak die quietly and become white bones. Have you ever thought about what makes countless people go to liexing one after another to pursue their life value regardless of the danger of their lives
“I think it’s blood. It’s just like what the mercenary Charter says. It’s living for fighting and dying for fighting, maybe.”
Rick nodded, took opal into the hall and said, “at the beginning, I didn’t approve of Colin going to liexing, because it was too difficult to test a person there. It was like a kind and righteous organization. Everyone felt its warmth and would do their best to seek benefits for the organization spontaneously. No one can tell what he did Right or wrong Here we are, right here. ”
Opal followed up on a small bar, and ractor said, “this is my little apprentice. Opal, Nini, opal’s expenses are on my account.”
Opal said hello to the people nearby, and immediately someone saw ractor and said, “what have you done to him! Ractor! I don’t see you’re still interested in children! ”
Opal’s face is not very good-looking. Ractor ignores them and takes opal into the basement. There are several people operating the bar in front of the large-scale virtual screen machine. A man says, “Rhett, do you want to challenge again?”
“A new game, alternating magnetic field, iron, uranium, polonium,” said ractor, putting on his special gloves
Several people sat back to their positions, and some of them followed them down to watch the battle. Lakert said casually: “just teaching apprentices, practice competitions.”
“Ractor, do you want to take this kid to the court as a partner?” The man sitting opposite laughed.
Lecter, smiling as if not excited at all, motioned for opal to come over. Opal sat down with a drink and whispered, “he’s not your opponent, is he, teacher?”
“Of course not.” “As long as I want to win, the whole empire is no match for me,” Lecter whispered
Opal lowered his voice excitedly: “really? What about the Republic? ”
“Maybe there are so many unknown experts. First of all, we have to arrange the formation,” he said
Tens of thousands of light spheres corresponding to atoms rolled out with music. Opal said, “I will, I will! I’ve played it in a video game too
Every time opal plays atomic billiards in the game machine, the system automatically arranges and delivers them. Unexpectedly, in this kind of retro underground arena, the players have to line up themselves. He noticed that there is a light screen beside them. On the light screen, there are various array contents. When he took it to see it, ractor said, “don’t look, just look at the teacher’s skill.”
At the moment of opal’s head up, lakert radiates the power of faith, which is directly connected with his thoughts. It is a very strange experience. From subconscious to superficial thinking, all his actions are completely open to opal. Their thoughts and memories are completely compatible in this moment, just like the moment when lektor ignited his belief fire on B11, their souls It’s totally candid.
He saw that there was a fog in the deep of Rex’s consciousness, which was full of guilt, pain and regret. All kinds of negative emotions were gathered together. Opal directly felt that Rex had owed and upset him. He wanted to try to say something and tell him that it really didn’t matter. However, before he opened his mouth, he felt his consciousness turned into a light and dispersed the group fog.
“Watch out, opal.” As usual, as if nothing had happened, opal returned to his senses and began to arrange the atomic billiard formation.
The rules of the game are not complicated. The two sides arrange the formation in the virtual quasi-static state, and use the micro connection mode to launch some atoms in their hands into the site platform.These atoms are shown in the field as many light balls, each corresponding to an atom, hit the scorer can get the corresponding points. However, atoms are in motion at all times. Under the influence of an energy device, they slow down to the extent that the human eye can see, but they still maintain the motion characteristics of collision with each other, bringing out unpredictable tracks.
The playground will also add a magnetic field to it, adding more fun.
Opal’s atomic billiards game is just a virtual scene of computer chips. Now when we meet this kind of game using real atoms, we finally feel the reason why it is attractive.
“Are you ready?” “Let’s get started, put in…”
Opal holds his breath. Ractor pulls the bar.
“…… In the world of atomic billiards. ”
Voice down, rickettson, crash, all atoms are unbound! It was like the innumerable stars that burst out at the time of creation, shining into the center of the field.
Opal couldn’t help exclamation. Ractor raised his eyebrows and began to rotate the controller with a smile. Two large rotating rods drove hundreds of small magnetic giant wheels to start. Everywhere, there were flashes of atomic light balls. The marbles left in his hand went into the grooves one after another and were fired out one after another. The scoreboard soared rapidly. Opal was dazzled and looked at ray nervously from time to time Curt’s points are sometimes attracted by the flurry of billiards.
Every moment there are smashed marbles being cleared out of the platform. Rakert’s score is slowly climbing. However, he has more bullets than his opponent, and the gap is widening.
The other side realized the tactics of ractor and changed from hard hitting to evasion, and lakert immediately released the last batch of marbles in hand.
The marbles were so overwhelming that they completely suppressed their opponents on the field.
However, the other side has already formed an integral advantage. Rickert is far behind from the beginning. As time goes by, opal almost thinks that he is going to lose. After all, he is more than 1.6 million behind. However, in the disordered torrent, atoms seem to follow some strange law and follow the established path little by little, as if the integrals dropped earlier were just before the work In preparation, they changed from chaos to order, until in the last 12 seconds, Rickert’s integral was indeed exceeded!
The man on the opposite side looked at all this as if he didn’t believe it. The system began to count down. Three, two, one. The bright light flashed and lit up the eyes of Laker and his opponent. At the last moment, all the billiards were still, and the scoreboard jingled. The two sides in the calculation field had the remaining billiards to add points. Rakert won with an advantage of 800000.
“So handsome!” ‘cried opal.
Ractor picked up opal’s glass, took a drink, and said, “now do you understand?”
Opal said, “let me have a try? I want to play this, too exciting! Teacher, let’s fight each other. ”
The loser said, “even if you beat me, you can’t beat the master Alex invited.”
Rakert packed up his chips and said, “what won’t win? Are you playing this just to win? Rivado, what you lose is not strength, but realm. ”
Opal couldn’t help laughing. The loser, choked by a word from Rex, turned pale and got up and left.
That afternoon, lektor first turned on the constant magnetic field and taught opal some of the most elementary tactics. As soon as he started, opal learned quite quickly and spent the whole afternoon figuring out all the rules.
“Are you going to the game, teacher?” Opal road.
Ractor leaned against the edge of a table, drank his coffee thoughtfully and nodded.
“Do you need another partner?” opal asked
“It needs a partner, but I don’t think it’s you, opal,” said raikker
“But you’ve learned very fast, so to speak, the teacher is skilled because he has played atomic billiards for thousands of years. If you learn with you, it may not be better than you.”
Opal said, “your entry is about the same as that of Xiao Ke. It took you about three hours.”
Opal said, “who taught you this? Nolan, too? ”
“For a long time, I’ve forgotten what the man looked like. He was an old man. He was very old. He met him on Yatu, and now the planet has changed…”
There was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and a man entered the private room directly. Opal said, “Raymond!”
Raymond said, “how are you doing?”
“How do you know we’re here?” opal said
Ractor throws a tin of coffee to Raymond, who says, “thank you very much.”
“Don’t be too fussy, what about the ladies and ladies?” said Rhett
Opal understood that when lequet and Baroque knew each other, they should have known Raymond’s work schedule.
Raymond, smiling awkwardly, sat down in the corner and said, “there’s nothing too embarrassing about it, opal. Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? ”
Opal sat by Raymond’s side, and Ramon held him in his arms. Opal said, “let’s have dinner together in the evening. Do you want to go to the party?”Raymond nodded, looked at the time, and said, “you want to go to white flower manor before eight o’clock. Have you made any progress in atomic billiards?”
Now it was five o’clock. Opal looked at his opponent and was excited. He said, “let’s have a fight? It’s all real stuff. ”
Raymond said, “I don’t really know. Come on. You can give us some advice. ”
Lequet went to find someone to start the game. Opal played pool with Raymond. After learning from him all afternoon, he easily got rid of Raymond’s score of more than 100000 yuan. Raymond laughed bitterly and shook his head.
“He’s better than you.” “But it’s not a routine, Raymond. Do you want to learn the formal game play?”
Opal saw that this was just an opportunity to promote the two people to be familiar with each other. He hastened to say, “follow me, learn quickly.”
Ramon didn’t get tangled. He sat down. Ractor stood behind him and said, “have you played before?”
Raymond nodded: “I played with Opal a few times.”
“I mean, you have a natural memory of it,” rakert said
Raymond thought for a moment and said, “yes, I’m familiar with it. I can play it if I start, but I don’t know how to play it well.”
Opal put his arm around Raymond’s waist behind his back, put his head on his shoulder to watch him hit him, and Lecter pointed out beside them. Opal had learned it once, and he was surprised to find that Ramon learned faster than him!
What is this!
Opal got angry and said, “teacher! What you just comforted me is not true
Raymond frowned. “What?”
He had Colin’s body memory in his genes. Lakert said directly in opal’s mind: Colin’s atomic billiards are masters.
“Oh.” Opal road.
Raymond:
Opal said, “what level are you? Teacher? ”
Raymond:
Ractor laughed and did not answer him.
Raymond played nearly ten games and wanted to play again, but Rickert said, “go to dinner and talk about opal’s commission.”
When Opal thought of his hidden task, Raymond said, “just in time, I have a few questions to ask you.”
He took them out of the tavern and went to eat on the first floor of another restaurant. The environment here was very good. There was a play of regison’s opera. Opal sat down and began to prepare his information. No one was more suitable to inquire about information than ractor. It was strange to say that since he saw ractor, he ate him, used him, and asked him to help. He didn’t feel a little bit of this I’m sorry.
Raymond, on the other hand, was a little uncomfortable. At first, he would thank him repeatedly, but gradually, he let go.
When the three ordered, Raymond said, “I want to find out what’s going on between the two princes of carltes.”
However, it is not like that the interests of the people who are not in the pursuit of the Republic are far-reaching, that is to say, the pursuit of the interests of the common people is not far-reaching in the pursuit of the interests of the common people As far as meteorite empire is concerned, all forces are concerned about this. ”
Opal said, “but the news hasn’t spread, has it?”
Ractor nodded slowly, and then said, “in fact, if you hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have thought about it. After all, it’s not the first time in the past few hundred years that carltes has been rumored to be a prime minister.”
Opal doubts: “but did not succeed?”
Raymond folded up the adventurer’s Handbook, squinted a little, and said, “if it’s true, then we might get fake news.”
“Most of the rumors are credible. After all, the interstellar situation has become more unstable after Levi’s defeat. The Republic is declining year by year, and it is an indisputable fact that the imperial power is growing stronger and stronger. I used to think that such a system as the Empire will not last long, but Forget about it. It’s too complicated. It involves the history of the Empire itself, the location of the stars, resources and other conditions. ”
Raymond asked, “who do you want to be the crown prince?”
“I don’t get involved in politics,” said raikker
Opal said: “then change the way, teacher, who do you think will become the crown prince?”
“A lot of people think Alex is more popular.” “But I don’t think he’s a leader, he’s a very obvious artist, a painter, a singer, a genius in the creative industry, can ignore other people’s comments, but as an emperor, he can’t. So I don’t think Alex is fit to govern the planet, even in the present age of constitutional monarchy, where the prime minister is responsible for all government affairs… ”
“What is the prime minister’s task?” Opal did not understand.
“The emperor commands the army and formulates survival strategies. The prime minister is loyal to the people. As the representative of the people, he puts pressure on the royal family, and the house strives for the interests of the common people and aristocratic Lords. This management method is very complicated and can’t be explained clearly for a moment. Go back and I’ll give you a clip and you can read it carefully.”Opal said, “that is to say, the emperor is actually not in charge of affairs.”
“He’s in charge, but he’s left to the prime minister what he can’t please, and if there’s a threat to his regime, carltes is sure to take action,” he said
Ramon said, “I have to go to work. You keep talking.”
“You haven’t eaten yet,” Lecter said
Raymond said with a smile: “I don’t have a high demand for food. Just have enough energy. Opal, you can eat more. I’ll see you in the evening.”
“Come on.” Opal took his hand. Ramon thought of something. He turned back and kissed opal’s lips.
He was still a little embarrassed to do it in front of Rex. He didn’t dare to look at him again and left the restaurant.
Opal’s face was a little red, and he said, “er Teacher, let’s go on
“You’re a happy child,” he said with a smile
Opal nodded and said, “Raymond is fine. You don’t have to eat anything, you don’t have to spend money. You’ve been trying to make money. ”
Ractor fell into a long thought. After a long time, he said, “carltes didn’t say anything. Maybe he was testing his two sons. It’s true that there is a good relationship between him and Alex. He is more inclined to his student than to the Empire. In those years, carltes appreciated him after listening to his opera. He wanted to hire him as Alex’s court teacher, and he also liked Alex very much and had the idea of cultivating Alex into his student… ”
“What kind of students?” “Star fox students or singing students?”
“Maybe both, but he didn’t have a strong desire to perform, so he chose Molly, the pirate’s daughter, who was also fond of the stage, and ran away from home because she was obsessed with his singing,” rakert said
Opal suddenly found that it was very good to follow ractor. At least, there were a lot of gossips to listen to. He always knew something he had never heard of. When he was thinking about this, he immediately noticed it and said, “now it’s my turn to ask you. You have to fully satisfy the teacher’s curiosity occasionally. Has Colin ever commented on this matter in front of you Price? ”
Opal thought for a moment, shook his head and said, “it doesn’t seem to exist. Let me think about it…”
The robot waiters serve the food. Ray’s special feature is that opal has never eaten before, but it smells delicious. It’s like a steak made of meat mixed with fish. Opal cuts the steak with a knife and says, “he said that the Pope and the emperor had a little principled problem. I think it might be about this Wait, teacher
Lecter also realized that they were relatively silent for a long time, and their thoughts were directly connected. He read the fragments from opal’s memory, and his knife and fork trembled slightly.
“According to the information he got.” Opal said: “the Pope doesn’t want Alex to be crown prince. He has differences with the emperor and the Rottman family. Is that right? That is to say… ”
Ractor said in a deep voice, “as you can infer, it’s true. No wonder I always feel that the Pope is on guard against regison. That boy has been lying to me. So, delamon has already reached an agreement with Colin
