Opal talked all morning that day, and Raymond just listened quietly, frowning.
He was always naked, holding Opal in his arms, and Opal said a lot on and off, including Coroline, including Rector, including Cullens.
Finally, Opal said: "Do you think it is different from before? Have you forgotten anything? Or is there any extra memory?"
"No." Raymond said solemnly: "I feel like this, I was still in the battle at Fierce Star just now, the mecha called the police, and then I was cold all over, seeing myself... and you. I thought it was just before death. Hallucination, so many things happened in the middle."
He took Opal and got up, walked out of the laboratory, and said, "Is it the genetic surgery that Cororin gave you? How did you become so small?"
"Yeah." Opal still hasn't recovered, he just felt like he had a very long dream. He and Raymond entered the 500th floor and took the first step in the sky garden. All of his strength was exhausted, and an irresistible drowsiness struck, one stumbled to the ground, and Raymond said, "Opal!"
"I let him sleep for a while." Coroline said, "I have something to tell you."
Raymond entered the Hanging Garden with Opal in his arms, looked around, and walked to the palace. Coroline sat on the throne, half-hidden in the darkness.
Corinthian said: "The room is over there. Take him into the room."
Raymond took Opal back to the room, and Corinthian said, "You can wear my clothes."
Raymond's beautiful eyebrows twitched. Coroline was exactly the same as him. Raymond said, "You are my father? Opal told me about the King of Meteor..."
"It happened these days." Coroline said: "I think Opal has already told you, and now I want to talk to you about your past, but also our past."
Raymond put on his clothes, and Coroline returned to the throne and said, "Would you rather stay here to be king, or leave and accompany Opal to the universe?"
Raymond said: "I only have him in my life. Anyway, thank you for making me."
Ke Luo Lin was silent for a long time, and then said: "I think the difference is this... To be exact, the first one you didn't make, was my comrade-in-arms, the former mercenary king of Lie Xing Kyle Lei... "
I don't know how long I slept, Opal woke up.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and could hardly tell whether everything before was a dream or reality, he immediately rolled over and got out of bed, shouting, "Raymond!"
He quickly ran out of the corridor, braked suddenly outside the hall, and saw Coroline sitting on the throne, Raymond standing in the hall, the two faced each other and stood silently.
The scene was too strange, two identical Raymonds, or identical Coroline.
Opal saw that there seemed to be a line between them, and countless fragments of memory were transmitted between them. He sensed that Coroline was telling Raymond something, and he released the power of his belief to probe and found that it was Some messy lore, sailing, ships, theories and history, combat skills, everything, all poured into Raymond.
"You don't have the power of faith." Coroline said, "But it's over. I believe you won't betray me. Don't run to the place I want to level, and be blasted to ashes again, I can't save it. you."
Raymond said: "I see, I know the power of belief, but you don't need to ignite it for me."
Cororin smiled and said, "Opal really wanted to kill me to avenge his comrades, Opal, is that so?"
Raymond said: "Whatever Opal thinks, the responsibility lies with me. Maybe one day I will indeed come to solve you."
Coroline said meaningfully: "Maybe you really have this opportunity. If I die, you can replace me forever and sit on this throne."
He got up and left the palace, turned into a black iron giant and rushed to the sky, and Raymond stepped onto the throne and sat down, as if he had become another Cororin.
Opal looked at him blankly.
Raymond said, "Come here, wife."
When Opal heard the title, he felt familiar and said, "How do you feel now?"
Raymond replied, "It sucks, how can you have sex when you're so young?"
Opal burst into laughter, climbed over to Raymond, stroked his forehead with one hand, felt his thoughts, and said, "Well, you are Raymond, and you have no power of belief."
Raymond grabbed Opal's hand, pressed his hand to his chest, and said, "Here's the proof that I'm real."
Opal hugged his neck, frowned and said, "Where did the teacher go?"
Raymond glanced at Opal a little strangely and said, "You still love him very much, but he thinks you hate him."
Opal said: "It's really strange, I can't tell whether I love him or hate him, he is exactly like you... It feels like the same person. What did he say to you?"
Raymond thought for a while and said, "How old are you now? How many years will it take to grow up?"
Opal: "You answer my question first."
Raymond said: "You have to answer me first, this is more important!"
Opal: "Oh you sex robot, what is the first thing you do when you wake up besides having sex! Didn't the teacher format your sex program?!"
Raymond: "… "
Opal: "… "
Raymond said: "I feel very guilty about this! I'm not used to it. I haven't dared to kiss you since I came out of the nutrition cabin..."
Opal leaned forward and kissed Raymond's lips. Raymond was a little nervous. After a while, the two of them looked at each other and found the first feeling.
Opal sighed: "Seriously, what did he tell you?"
Raymond said: "Teach me a lot of knowledge, let me find out the whereabouts of the wheel of time."
This is consistent with what Cororin said at first, and Opal finally felt relieved, and after a while he said, "He didn't put any bombs on you."
Raymond said: "God... He is me in a sense. Do you think I would do such a thing?"
Opal said: "I found that you are not touched by our reunion at all! Have you been remodeled in your brain?"
Raymond: "We danced in the Battle Spirit Plaza only a few hours ago, and when we got into a mecha and came back to find that our wife had turned into a child, it was like a dream. I almost wondered if this was true, you still want me How are you moved?"
Opal laughed and almost fell to the ground. When he thinks about it seriously, it is true. He waited for two years and lived in despair every day. only ten minutes.
Raymond frowned and thought, hugged Opal on his body, and the two cuddled, Opal said: "Where did the teacher go?"
Raymond said: "He went after Kyle Ray."
Opal said: "What about us?"
Raymond said: "Let's spend the night here first, and leave tomorrow. If there is anything, he will let me handle it for him."
Opal nodded and said, "Come here and show you something fun."
Raymond and Opal, one big and one small, went to the back of the palace and walked through the transparent air corridor. Opal stepped on a skateboard and taught Raymond to play. Just fine.
Opal went to bed early that night, and Raymond still didn't need to sleep, so he hugged him and thought in the dark.
When he got up early the next morning, Opal went into the hall and found Raymond sitting on the throne, explaining things to several generals.
The Dark Alliance's prestige jumped again after Iszur's victory against the Republic, and all the Covenant nations were reconsidering and formulating a new phased diplomatic strategy with Cororin. No longer teaching Opal anything new, Cororin spends most of his time planning the country.
Opal vaguely sensed that Coroline was making a plan that would apply for a long time to come.
"Your Majesty, just as you predicted, Livy and Tirrat had a falling out." Caesar brought the latest news: "He resigned as the commander of the alien system defense, officially retired, and returned to the silver-gray galaxy. ."
Raymond said: "Well, it's the same as I guessed."
Caesar paced the hall and said: "But there is one inconsistency, Tifeng enabled Cullens and let him take over the entire alien defense front. We analyzed the deployment information, and Cullens did not show in any battles. He is too strong, but I think that since Tifeng dares to use him, he should also be a rare and powerful opponent."
Raymond asked, "What do you think that means?"
Caesar looked up at Raymond, as if he was a little surprised that Cororin would use a question at such a time, saying, "Tifeng remains on the Floodlight Source. Your Majesty, we have just made a new peace with the Republic. Diplomatic treaty, I don't think it's appropriate to act rashly. I don't think it's a good idea to assassinate Li Wei."
Raymond frowned and said following Caesar's words: "Yes, the plan to assassinate Li Wei is temporarily withdrawn, and he will push Cullens to the forefront... Forget it, put it on hold for the time being."
"It seems that Pope Drummond is willing to have a good talk with us." Ithone said: "The ambassador he sent to us clearly mentioned that his time is running out."
Raymond didn't answer and fell into a long meditation.
"I won't consider it at the moment." Finally, Raymond said, "I have something to do recently and I have to go out."
Opal stood outside the corridor and felt that he was very unfamiliar at the moment. In any case, he could not accept that the person sitting on the throne was Raymond. Even if it was really him, Opal felt that his former lover had become a king, and he saw it in his eyes. Full of strangeness and alienation.
However, Raymond noticed that he was coming, and just smiled at him, blinked, and looked at him at a glance-does it look like it
Opal laughed helplessly, sat on top of Raymond, and said, "The teacher and I will be away for a while, and we will leave today."
Caesar nodded and said, "Going on vacation?"
Raymond said: "There are some personal matters to deal with."
"Your spaceship is ready." Ithone said.
Raymond said: "Send it up, I will check it myself once, Opal, go pack your things and prepare to go."
Opal returned to the room and saw a spaceship parked in the sky garden.
Raymond went to Corinthian's room, and Opal said, "What are you looking for?"
Raymond glanced out and said, "He handed us a few things for me to take away..."
Raymond took out a tin box, which contained his necklace, and another small box. The little robot, Xiao Q, came out, and E7 made a circle around it, and the two robots ran together.
Opal changed his clothes, packed his things and came out. He saw Raymond wearing a mercenary jacket, military trousers and military boots, wearing goggles, standing beside the spaceship welding a light cannon.
That ship was the Age VI, exactly like the one Opal's mother had left him, the only difference was the mottled rust—it became a gluttonous black-gold shell.
It gleamed beautifully in the sun quietly, like a mottled black salmon.
"Your Majesty," said a researcher, "I think it's better to make appropriate improvements to the power furnace..."
"No, that's enough."
Raymond dismissed the mechanic beside him, pushed up the goggles, put it on his forehead, and smiled at Opal.
"Let's go." Raymond said, "Get on the spaceship, Opal, let's go on a mission, I want to take you to know this universe."
