The Star Knight - Chapter 113

Silver or absent-minded went downstairs and took the initiative to help opal carry a large stack of cards to the rest room. It was very dark here. Opal went in and looked curiously at the camel hair carpet on the ground – a large box with no seats in it and only a cloud of fog like light in the middle.

“What are we going to do?” When Opal saw that there was no one around, he asked yin or.

Yin or said: “this place is designed to imitate the divination room of the Sphinx witches. A lot of people will come in later. We should improvise and entertain them, but we should not have too much entertainment. We should pay attention to the propriety.”

Opal said, “do you need divination?”

Silver or threw out his cards. Twenty cards floated around and spun slowly. He said to opal, “yes, every time you draw a card, you will find the corresponding person. You will make some nonsense, make fun of it, and ask people what they want to do with divination. If you can’t tell me, I will help you finish the game.”

“Here’s your lyrics. We’ll each take two sentences.”

The guests enter. Two clowns stand around the light and fog. The mysterious music of desert country is blowing in the smell of incense. The women and men sit on the right and the men sit on the left.

People who came today found that the two clowns were one size smaller than yesterday, and began to talk. Some people said, “where is your favorite king?”

The women laughed at each other, and soon all the lights went out, leaving a ball of light spinning in the middle. Some guests drank wine, others looked at the clowns standing on both sides in the center.

“How many times have I seen The bright morning dotes on the mountain top with the emperor’s eyes. ” When yin or’s low voice sounded, opal was startled. He didn’t expect silver or to sing so well!

Silver or singing stopped. It was opal’s turn to sing.

Opal said, “kiss the green meadows with gold red face, and brighten the gray mountains and rivers with magic magic magic”

as soon as opal opened his mouth, all the guests in the audience laughed. He sang very hard, and even with the voice of a male duck when he was a boy, which made many people fall in love.

“Strange, what about the handsome men before?”

“Don’t think about it. These people are waiters from outside…”

“I really like the story that the man told…”

When Opal heard some people talking about Raymond, he could not help crying or laughing. Silver or his eyes indicated that opal had done a good job. After singing, they held up a playing card. Silver or said in a loud voice, “aha, let’s see, who is this?”

“Square three.” Opal gives the card to silver or, silver or passes through the guests sitting on the ground, bows, and smiles mysteriously at a young man.

The boy was startled and said, “I haven’t taken it out yet. How do you know?”

“You’re in love with someone.” Silver or open the door to see the mountain road.

At that time, all the people around laughed. The young man looked at silver or with a smile and said, “no, you guessed wrong. ”

” two words of advice for you. ” Silver or take back the card in his hand: “the arrow is on the string. When you are ready to go, you’d better let it fly. The longer you hold the bow, the more tired you will be. Once you lose your original intention, you will often miss the target. You need advice. You can come to me at any time

The young man’s side was quiet for a while, then several young nobles were laughing in a low voice, silver or take back the card. The young man said, “no, it’s not allowed. It’s not interesting. I’m going to leave.”

Opal glanced at them, and the boy left with one of his companions.

Silver or go back to open the fog, the guests are a little absent-minded, whispering, baclo in the corner to talk to people, and then wantonly laugh, attracted opal’s eyes, but all who know him seem to be used to it.

“Spade six.” Silver or light play.

Opal hooked his finger and motioned for silver or to give him the card. Silver or did it. Opal did not look. He went to a man, who was wearing a top hat and looked at him strangely.

“It’s a child.” Another man laughed and said, “you’re seen by them.”

Two men. The one on the left is wearing a top hat, but the one on the right looks very tender, with silver grey hair and blue eyes.

Silver or frowned a little doubtfully, as if surprised by opal’s observation ability. He could even find out the person who drew the card in the seat through his expression?

Opal did not use this method. The light in the hall was very dark, and he could not see who would have a card. However, he could feel the emotional fluctuation of all the people in the hall when he could tell the color of the suit or the silver. It was only for a moment that he was keenly seized by him.

“You did something you didn’t know for sure not long ago.” Opal whispered in his ear, “there’s a lot of uneasiness in my heart now.”

The man was shocked and looked warily at opal.

After reading his negative emotions, opal grinned strangely, took away the man’s card, and said to him, “I also give you a piece of advice. You need a pillow when you sleep, and you always have to stay behind when you work.”

“Thank you for your advice.” The man said with a smile.

His companion smiles and gives him a punch. The man grabs his fist and signals him to be quiet.

When Opal returned to the center of the meeting, the man did not give any comment on his divination, silver or then draw a card.Then there was barkrow, and silver or his advice was: it is better to plant late than not.

Barkrow laughed and did not respond. After a series of cards opened, some of them left the game, and there were not many left until the end.

Finally, free time, the clown went to the corner to stand, silver or whispered: “do you know that man?”

Opal said, “what? Oh no, I’m just saying, what’s wrong with him? Who is he? ”

He looked at the table, and the man was not in a group with anyone, just sitting alone drinking.

“That’s Justin, the least favored eldest son of the Rotman family, who just returned from the galaxy. He came to the pastoral Festival party alone

Opal nodded slowly. Music came from the hall. It was dark and the banquet was beginning. Guests went out one after another. Opal said, “is this the end? What else do you need to say with others? ”

“Silver or way:” no, you go back to change clothes, this is over, I still have to wait here. ”

Opal was a little strange, but he didn’t ask much. He went up and changed his clown costume and washed his face. When he came down again, he saw a man walking into the divination room.

He vaguely recognized the man, who happened to be silver or the bin corresponding to the first card. It seems that the young man really has some emotional problems, or maybe he has a crush on silver. Opal’s mind is full of strange ideas.

The game is not over, but opal is no longer worried about money. After all, Raymond won the game and came back with a very generous bonus. He was quite confident in ractor, even if he could not win the first prize, he would be stable in the top ten. As long as you enter the top 10, you will get 200000 credit points as rewards.

Do you want to continue the investigation?

Opal took a cup of wine and stood in the corner of the garden, trying to sort out the complicated relationship. In fact, with the information they have collected now, it can be sold at a high price. In the future, after the animal husbandry Festival is over, he will return to the Daewoo Aviation Association to set the next stage of action goals.

Opal tried to explore the distribution of people in the manor by meditation. The chancellor of the exchequer and the wife of the prime minister were talking on the second floor, and several nobles gathered around them.

In the back garden, the person who accompanied him to the serenade was a duke, who should be the one who supported him. Alex didn’t come. He talked to a lot of people at the party, and seemed to bring some people into his camp.

Opal always felt that barkrow was not as stupid as he seemed, or that he was just pretending to be.

Because just when silver or gave him advice, there was a moment when he changed his look, which showed that he was also thinking about something.

If you read the hearts of these people one by one, it will be very interesting. Opal’s evil thought was stirring again. He wanted to know whether these people were really like what they looked like, but most of them were trivial chores. Even if he wanted to read his mind, he had to choose his target first.

After pondering for a long time, opal decided to start with Baccarat. He took the opportunity to walk to the garden and stood not far away from baccarat and the Duke to release his faith.

He stood at just a good distance, and when he released his power of faith, his observation became so keen that he did not even need to read his mind. The conversation between Barlow and the Duke was clear to him.

“I need to know what he thinks.” Said Barlow in a very low voice.

“Only one person in the universe can know what the enemy is thinking, buck, but not even he can know the real intention of that man,” said the old prince

Opal immediately understood that “he” refers to Pope delamont, which is very important for the crown prince, and the other “he” mentioned by the old prince refers to Colin.

“I’ve thought about your proposal these days, but it’s not convenient for me to send messengers to him,” he said

Opal thought that Barlow wanted to ask what the Pope meant. However, the old prince said, “it’s inconvenient for me. After all, the current interstellar political situation is very sensitive, but if he is a smart man, he will send someone to contact you in the near future.”

So opal came to realize that he was talking about Colin

“My mother didn’t support me.” Barkrow sighed and whispered, “she likes that boy Alex better…”

So opal got another very useful news.

“Hello.” The man politely took off his round cap and nodded to him.

Opal instantly regained his vigilance and said, “hello.”

He was so engrossed in his mind that he did not even notice how close he was to the old Duke, but when he had a face-to-face, he immediately recognized that it was the man who had just drawn six spades at the divination meeting.

“Justin.” The man said, “Justin Rotman.”

Opal nodded and shook hands with him. Justin said, “I saw you standing here with your eyes closed just now…”

Opal laughed and said, “I’m listening to music.””Serenade of Changkong island.” Justin said, “a classical music that has been around for a long time in the Empire.”

Opal nodded and said, “what can I do for you?”

Justin seemed a little strange and said with a smile, “you don’t look like your age, I mean…”

“More young and mature?” opal said

They both laughed. Justin said, “a friend of mine just heard your divination and thought you were very interesting. Would you like to go out for a walk?”

Opal was a little reluctant. He still wanted to eavesdrop on barkrow. However, Justin might have something to communicate with here. He put down his glass and said with a smile, “please.”

“It doesn’t have to be so formal.” Justin and Opal left the moonpath and walked all the way to the main hall and said, “I’m just the eldest son that my father doesn’t like.”

Opal said with a smile, “I’m just a down and out adventurer who hasn’t officially grown up. Just a moment. I’ll see my friend and come back in a few minutes

Justin nodded, and opal went back to the dressing room on the second floor to find silver or, at least, to explain or to ask whether the reward could be collected now. However, there was no one in the dressing room, only the clothes that opal had changed.

He went down the stairs to the divination room again. The contents were left in a mess, but they were not collected. A glass of wine was knocked over on the table, and the liquor dripped down the small table. Silver or other clown’s clothes were thrown by the central table.

Opal:

“Silver or, are you here?” Opal road.

No one answered, opal is a little strange, silver or clothes changed here? Or did you go out with the boy? I don’t know how to do / love here What a casual guy. Forget it. Ramon will take care of the reward himself.

As opal walked out of the hall, Justin waited patiently outside the door like a polite gentleman.

Opal noticed that bin didn’t take the initiative to talk to Justin, and he was not very polite. This reminds him of his past when he and Colin attended the tirgat party, and he had a little good feeling for Justin in the same situation.

Justin: where’s your friend? If you don’t mind, let him come with you. ”

Opal: “he’s not here. Please contact him later.”

When they left the white flower manor, opal said, “is there anything interesting on the Falcon star?”

Justin pondered for a moment and then said, “I haven’t been back to the Empire for nearly a hundred years. I’m not sure.”

Opal nodded and said, “where are you going to live now?”

“It’s just 117 astronomical units away from here, my mother’s home,” Justin said

“Hi! Uncle A young man said with a hearty smile.

“Hello, my name is opal.” Opal recognized that the man was Justin’s companion during divination, and he grinned at him kindly.

Justin said, “this is opal. Let me introduce him. His name is shepherd.”

When Opal heard the name, he immediately remembered something and looked at the young man in front of him.

He is a little taller than opal. He looks only ten years old. He is not so handsome, but he has a noble temperament. He is approachable, courteous and polite, rather than haughty upstarts.

“Shepherd…” Opal nodded and said, “hello.”

Justin said, “do you know the fame?”

When Opal remembered, he simply opened the door and said, “your teacher is Er A great man, am I right? ”

“Don’t say it here, let’s change places,” Justin whispered

“How do you know?” the Shepherd said in surprise

Opal said, “I’ve heard of your name.”

The Shepherd said, “but few people know my name except the teacher and some archbishops.”

Opal realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have said. He always thought the shepherd was the real name of the young man in front of him. He asked, “do you have another name?”

The shepherd bowed politely and said, “the name I use more frequently is tochen v. grabini.”

Opal couldn’t remember the long list of names. He said, “I’ll call you shepherd, do you mind?”

The Shepherd said, “of course not. Not many people know my name.” He winked at opal.

Justin has been walking behind them, from time to time will pay attention to the surrounding movement, opal gradually understand that Justin is just to introduce him, really want to see him is the young man named shepherd in front of him.

“What do you do?” The shepherd asked, “are they imperialists?”

Opal handed his own adventurer’s Handbook. The shepherd took a look at it and said, “you are so well informed that you have all this information?”

Opal thought for a moment and said, “I just happened to hear about it.”

“Listen to who?” The shepherd still seems to be a little reluctant to ask.

Opal did not dare to disclose the information to the man in front of him, but said with a smile: “forget, what are you doing here?”The Shepherd said, “come and play with uncle. How many times have we met in the galaxy before, uncle?”

“Well?” Justin is still thinking.

Opal noticed that the shepherd was very tactful and avoided answering his questions positively. He tried to elicit the topic in other ways and said, “that Uncle said you have something to do with me

“Nothing special.” The Shepherd said, “just because you are interesting, I come out to talk with you and have fun. Do you have anything else? With friends? ”

Opal said: “yes, my partner went to participate in the atomic pool game, but it should not be over. The teacher said that the game lasted ten hours Do you like divination, too? ”

The Shepherd said, “well, actually, I have a question. I want you to help me with divination, because your advice to uncle is accurate. I think…”

At this point, Justin opened his mouth and said, “herders, they know more than you think. If you want to get helpful help, you can’t use this way of communication.”

The shepherd was a little embarrassed, but opal had no choice but to laugh. The Shepherd said, “don’t pay attention to uncle. He always likes to teach me a lesson. Go, I’ll take you to a good place.”

They enter the city by car. During this period, the chatting between herdsmen and opal always revolves around the history, culture and customs of the white Falcon star. Until arriving at the square, it has entered the flashy night of Carnival in the whole city. Opal can see the scores of atomic billiards game displayed on the giant light screen in the square, among which ractor and Raymond have entered the top ten.

That’s how we got the 200000 bonus! Opal was overjoyed.

But the shepherd stopped here, looked at the bulletin board for a long time, and said to Justin, “he may get the first prize.”

“As I said, he probably just came for a game,” Justin said

Opal’s heart is beating. They’re talking about ractor?

“The teacher gave me two tasks, one of which was to ask me to investigate a man and see what he wanted to do on the Falcon this time.” The shepherd, aware of opal’s strangeness, no longer covered up and explained to him.

Opal said, “who? I might have information about him. ”

“Find a place to exchange information.” Said the shepherd.

He took opal to a remote cafe, where there were only a few robot waiters. The owner seemed to have gone out to play. Opal ordered a cup of coffee. The shepherd took a sip of it and said, “the Sphinx frozen milk coffee here is very good.”

The amount of information opal got was too much and too messy. He tried to settle his mind and said, “the man you want to investigate is an atomic pool player?”

“You know him, too?” The shepherd squinted.

Opal said, “it’s a tall man. It looks like he’s in his twenties…”

“No, no, No The Shepherd said, “he is a small old man with a long beard and pajamas At least the last time I saw his image, I was wearing pajamas with a bow on his white beard… ”

As for the identity of ractor, opal can’t believe the herdsman casually. He directly sends out the power of faith to read the inner heart of the herdsman. His willpower seems to be very strong. There is a barrier in the spiritual world. Opal tries his best to read only one image.

It’s really the man described by the shepherd.

“Are you all right?” The shepherd asked.

Opal waved his hand and licked his lips. The shepherd leaned on the back of his chair in a loose look and said, “well, my teacher wants me to stay in other places for a few years. I don’t want to leave the city of light, and I’m afraid of another person. So now It’s hard to decide. Originally, I just wanted to ask for divination and get some advice, but now it seems that I am on the wrong side Do you know a lot? ”

Opal said, “the Pope asked you to go to the land of corolin and be his student?”

“Shhh…” The shepherd and Justin looked very flustered. The shepherd covered opal’s mouth with surprise in his eyes, and said, “you know this thing?! God, is there any secret about the universe to the king’s wharf? ”

Opal said, “no, no, no more than ten people in this universe know this secret.”

The herdsman gasped for breath, and opal said, “you don’t have to worry about this. I ask you, when did you hear this news?”

The Shepherd said, “recently. Lord Ramos said that when I finish this work and go back, I will be sent to the optical rotation grip. ”

Did opal think of the New Apprenticeship that Caroline had taken in? It’s a little difficult.

The herdsman’s attitude has changed a lot from the beginning, saying, “do you think I’m going or not?”

“If the pope says you have to go, are you going to run away from home?” opal said

The shepherd shrugged his shoulders and said, “I hear that the disciples of cololin are younger than me, only twelve or thirteen years old…”

“How old are you?” opal said with a smile

The Shepherd said, “nineteen.”

Opal thought that the herdsmen were also very young, and their lives were as young as babies compared with the hundreds of people now.

“Go ahead.” “Colin is a good person and you can learn a lot from him,” opal saidThe shepherd sighed and said, “do you know him?”

Opal said, “I know you. By the way, what do you want the old man to do?”

Opal thought of what the Shepherd said under the square – “he” might win the first place. Doesn’t it mean that lequet will be defeated by him? Is this guy more powerful than ractor?

The Shepherd said, “he knows where a man is, and now many people are looking for that guy. My teacher suspected that the old man was involved in a big conspiracy, and let me remind him properly not to get involved in too much trouble

Opal said, “who’s whereabouts, what’s the trouble?”

The shepherd shook his head helplessly.
