Opal knew that whether the pastor really didn't know or didn't want to say it, he couldn't get the answer he wanted. The pastor licked his lips, glanced at Justin, and suddenly said, "Uncle, go out and buy us two. Berry milk balls, go."
With a gentle smile at the corner of Justin's mouth, he went out to buy them snacks. Opal glanced at the back of Justin's departure, thinking that as the eldest son of the Rotman family, he seemed to be very ordinary in the empire's jurisdiction.
He also knew that the pastor must have something to say to him.
Pastor: "You know Coroline, am I right?"
Opal: "!!!"
Opal had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes."
The pastor asked, "You can read minds, don't you? I guess you can read minds. Could it be that you are Cororin's apprentice?"
Opal said: "I did follow him for a while, and the inside story is quite complicated. If you go to his side, I think you will know about me."
The shepherd was stunned at first, then laughed, and Opal said, "What do you want to ask, ask, I also have a question to ask you."
The shepherd nodded and looked sideways at the floor-to-ceiling glass window. Justin was waiting for snacks at the stall on the opposite street. The shepherd said, "Can I learn to read minds by following Cororin?"
Opal thought for a while and then asked, "Do you want to learn this?"
The pastor smiled vaguely and said, "I want to know what Uncle is thinking."
Opal said: "That's boring, I never read my lover's mind now."
"You still have a lover!" the pastor exclaimed in surprise.
Opal said: "Yes."
The pastor asked, "Can you teach me to read minds? I can follow you to learn, so I don't have to use the Rotary Grip. I don't want to leave the teacher."
Opal had a bit of a headache. He felt that it was difficult to explain this to the pastor, as if he was a simple child who was born in the Holy See and grew up in the Holy See.
"You go." Opal said: "The ability to read minds requires the power of belief." He made a gesture and said, "That is a skill handed down by the phantom people, you have no power of belief, only teachers... Only the star knight can ignite the fire of faith for you, I can't teach you."
The shepherd nodded thoughtfully, and Opal said, "It's me."
"The teacher also said about this heaven-defying thing..." The pastor raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to say?"
Opal said: "You just said, you have two tasks, what is the other task?"
The pastor thought about it and said, "You have to keep it a secret from me."
Opal said: "Of course."
The pastor said: "Observe the situation, and promote the uncle to the top at the right time, so that he can gain the right to speak and take the initiative. Make him one of the Holy See forces in the Rotman military group... one... Of course, this is what I guess. , the actual situation is just let me and uncle meet, talk about his future development, and promise that when he wants to do something, the Holy See will help him."
Opal was full of surprise and said, "Then the Pope supports Baroque?"
The pastor said, "Maybe, I don't know, and no one knows what the teacher is thinking."
Opal said: "Other people don't know I don't believe, but how can you not know?"
The pastor said, "If you meet my teacher, you will understand, but from what I know about him, I think Baroque is more in his mind."
Opal asked, "Does the Pope hate Ledgerson?"
The pastor's eyes were full of surprise, and Opal immediately knew that this question was right, and there was indeed a clear-cut dispute in the Holy See!
The pastor said: "It's okay, he sometimes hates everyone and sometimes likes everyone, except for me."
Opal said: "He's at odds with Ledgerson."
The pastor thought about it and said, "He doesn't like Alex because Alex and Ledgerson are too close. Alex calls Ledgerson a 'teacher'. If he ascends the throne, he must be Just listen to Ledgerson."
Opal nodded and said, "If I guess right, you must go to Cororin's side."
He vaguely had some kind of ominous premonition. If the conflict between Ledgerson and the Pope has reached a situation that even pastors can see, then it is very likely that there will be a change in the Holy See in the near future. During the period, it may also involve the struggle for power within the Holy See, and it is likely to be interfered by the Emperor Kartus...
If there is a change in power, murder, etc., the situation is likely to be beyond the pastor's ability to deal with, then everything makes sense - when Cororin's disciples did not arrive at the Holy See, Pope Drummond was willing to take the initiative to take the pastor. Sent to Cororin, which means that the Pope wants to protect his disciples through Cororin's power.
So Cororin's reaction was all clear at that time!
Drummond needed a shepherd in exchange for a real assistant. He asked Cororin for an apprentice with a certain strength, but Cororin rejected him on the grounds that Opal was too young to participate in this kind of struggle.
That's why Corolin had an idea, and wanted them to assassinate the emperor or the queen Yinni!
As long as the emperor is dead, the Holy See can easily win the victory, appoint a new successor to the emperor, and gradually eradicate the Rotman family, so everything is solved!
Opal couldn't help but be frightened. He used to be fashionable and unknowing by Cororin's side, but once he came to the outside world, through innumerable things, he found that his backhand and arrangement turned out to be a chain. with a ring.
The pastor said, "Why?"
Opal said, "Your teacher might want to deal with Ledgerson, or someone else... that's my guess."
The shepherd said: "It's easy for him to deal with Ledgerson. I guess Rotman makes him more afraid, otherwise he won't let me come to see the uncle... The Rotman family is difficult to break into, they are self-contained and I don't believe in the Xingchen religion, except for my uncle's dead mother..."
Opal whispered, "Ledgerson can also read minds, as your teacher has always known. As long as he wants to, the Holy See has no secrets in his eyes..."
Pastor: "!!!"
At this moment, Justin came back with some snacks, and the pastor regained his calm expression in an instant. He pretended to be talking about another topic, and said, "If you are interested, you can try to understand our teachings. Not what you think."
Justin said, "Are you preaching again?"
Opal smiled and said, "There are quite a few of your followers in the adventurers."
The three of them stopped talking for a while, Opal and the shepherd were eating berry milk balls with different thoughts, and Justin drank coffee thoughtfully.
After a while he said, "You two are very similar."
"Huh?" The shepherd and Opal said in unison.
Justin laughed, and both the shepherd and Opal looked suspicious.
The atomic pool game in the tavern entered the white-hot stage, and the three of them did not speak, watching the light screen of the broadcast, the group of the old man was currently leading, and Opal saw it.
The broadcast commentator was introducing the old man, and only said that he was Mr. William, from the Cato-like galaxy connected with nine stars, and represented the atomic pool association of this galaxy.
"Look! I'm talking about him." The shepherd motioned Opal to look at the screen.
Opal saw the old man, and his group surpassed Recht's group by 30 million points.
"This is Mr. Bai from the Republic..."
"This man is my teacher," Opal said.
The pastor and Justin nodded, and Justin said, "It's not bad, they're second now."
"That's my... spouse," Opal said. "The man in the hat."
"Pretty handsome," the pastor said.
Raymond wore a white falcon ling hat, covering the upper half of his face, and flashed in front of the camera.
The pastor said: "I mean the mouth is very sexy, and he is more handsome than the uncle."
Opal didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and complimented: "Uncle is also very handsome, uh no, I mean Mr. Rotman..."
Justin said: "He often says I'm ugly. I'm used to it. I don't mind if you call me uncle too."
The shepherd leaned on Opal's shoulders, as if the two of them had become familiar with each other for a while, and said, "Hey, Opal, it's so nice to be young, right? We can call anyone uncle..."
"If you call Cororin like that." Opal whispered in his ear: "He might beat you up."
Pastor: "… "
"I have to go," Opal said. "It's almost over, they'll be out right away."
The pastor said, "Let's go together, I have nothing to do, and get to know your friends by the way?"
"Pastor," Justin said. "You'd better take it easy."
The pastor said: "It's okay, I will fulfill my promise to accompany you tonight..."
Justin: "You..."
Opal was very embarrassed, so he had to pretend he didn't hear it. Anyway, with Rickett here, he must be able to calm down. Maybe let him meet the Pope's little apprentice and know something.
A torrent of cheers resounded through the sky, the atomic pool game was over, some people became rich overnight, and some went bankrupt overnight, countless people shouted in the square with lottery tickets in their hands like crazy, Justin guarded the shepherd and Opal. Walking through the crowd, Opal said, "It's a crazy gamble."
The shepherd said: "This is not an official cosmic competition, you haven't seen the real crazy time..."
"Raymond!" Opal shouted.
Raymond turned around, and Opal rushed up and jumped up, clawing at him and yelling, hammering his head desperately.
Raymond said with a smile: "Second place! We have five million!"
Lecter was still talking, and the pastor narrowed his eyes and saw the old man.
When the show was over, many people in the square came to hug them. One of them burst into tears. He rushed up to hug Recht tightly to kiss him, and said loudly, "You just helped me win 100 million credit points! 100 million!"
Rickett's head was full of black lines to push people away, and the orderly robot began to drive out the troublesome crowd.
"Then, that's it." Recht politely took off the white falcon feather hat, pressed it on his chest and bowed: "I look forward to discussing with you again."
The old man held up his cylindrical hat and said in a loud voice, "Young man - goodbye."
The people in the square gradually dispersed, and they entered the streets and alleys to participate in the carnival waiting for the dawn. Rickett finally got out, his hat had been torn off by someone, and he came over and sighed.
Opal said, "Introduce my new friend. This is Justin..."
Justin winked at Opal and said, "Justin Elliott."
The pastor said: "Tocheng V. Gleibney."
Raymond looked at Justin and the Shepherd from under the brim of the feather hat, and when Opal touched him with his elbow, Raymond took off the hat and said with a smile, "Hello."
Rickett nodded.
Opal added: "This is my teacher Rector, and my old... old..."
Raymond said: "Husband."
Opal said: "Yes, you heard how he called me, so he is my wife."
The pastor burst into a very impolite laugh, and Raymond said, "You know, some people always like to take the initiative to call them, but in fact they are often losers."
Justin laughed: "I understand it very well."
Opal said angrily: 'Hey! "
Raymond couldn't help but picked up Opal and said, "Teacher, how about going to have a late night snack?"
Recht was still thinking, nodded, and the five left along the other side of the square.
Behind the square is a large night market street, and the lights are very brightly lit. The shepherd asked Lecter some words about the old man, and Lecter answered one by one.
Opal and Raymond were buying food at a stall, and he asked, "What's wrong with the old man?"
Raymond said: "I don't know, the teacher seems to be a little jealous of him."
Opal said: "I don't think he can live longer than the teacher. If there is such a person, who would he be? Even the Pope is wary of him."
Raymond said: "Could it be Kyle?"
Opal shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. If I were Kyle Ray, I would definitely show as little public appearance as possible."
The pastor behind them said, "I just bet a million on him hehehe..."
"It proves you have a good eye too," Recht said. He got a message saying: "I have to go back to the club, there are a few things to deal with, you guys have fun."
Raymond said, "Teacher, take this."
Rickett smiled and said, "This is what young people eat." But he still took the snack that Raymond bought, took a bite, and waved goodbye to them.
Justin asked, "He's from the Republic?"
"Yes, he knows Kashi Telan." Raymond said, he took the assorted fruit roll and divided one for each person.
Opal: "Who is that?"
Raymond said: "Ambassador of the Republic."
They walked towards the less crowded area of the night market. Opal finished eating after walking a few steps, and went back to buy three more.
Raymond: "… "
Opal: "This stuff tastes so good, but one costs eighty... I've been wanting to try it..."
Raymond whispered in his ear: "Pay attention to political influence, don't smear adventurers everywhere."
"I also like to eat." The shepherd said to Opal: "The teacher never let me eat outside food..."
Justin said, "That's enough for the two of you."
Raymond listened to Opal telling the story of their acquaintance, and said, "Did you only come here today?"
The shepherd said: "Well, I originally brought a few guards from the monks and soldiers province, but the uncle thought they were in the way, so he sent them all away..."
Justin said: "I also attended the banquet at the White Flower Manor yesterday. Gleibney only arrived today. I think it was you who played the king yesterday."
Raymond laughed: "Yes, and my other temporary partner, a black and white clown... Opal? I thought you would come out to play with him after you finished."
Opal, his mouth full of cream, said, "He left early."
Raymond said, "The remuneration hasn't been settled yet?"
"Who knows?" Opal said.
As he was speaking, there seemed to be some kind of change in the surrounding environment, and a dozen or so guard robots surrounded him.
"It's there!"
"It's them!"
Infrared scanning to locate the outline of the human shape, Opal immediately realized that something was wrong, and Raymond said: "What's going on?"
In an instant, the robots rushed in, and the shepherd smashed the fruit roll on the end of the robot closest to them and said, "Run!"
Justin said: "What are you doing!"
Raymond and Opal were inexplicable. They followed the shepherd and started to run. More and more robots were chasing behind them, chasing after them overwhelmingly. Opal said, "What trouble have you caused!"
The pastor said, "I don't know!"
Justin said: "Don't run! Let's figure it out first!"
The shepherd said: "I can't reveal my identity in front of the imperial officials, this will cause you trouble..."
Opal ran in agony, and the flying robot caught up behind him. Raymond shouted: "Be careful!"
The shepherd chose a place with a lot of people to run, and Opal and Raymond were involved before they knew what happened. This escape became more and more chaotic. Opal was thinking about how to get out, but there was no way to get out! How could he escape from a heavily guarded site like the Star of the White Falcon on someone else's planet? !
Raymond said: "There is no way to escape! Unless you go to the tarmac!"
"It will be shot down!" Opal exclaimed.
He turned back and used the power of faith, and with a humming sound, a window counter flew out of the street, smashing the security robot into the air.
"Wow, what kind of skill is this!" The pastor was stunned.
Opal said: "What purpose are you trying to achieve! Come up with your plan... Shepherd!"
They hid in the lobby of a defunct department store. Four small land mechas broke through the window, and there was a smash of glass flying everywhere. Eight ground laser cannons aimed at the four people standing in the middle of the encirclement.
"Put down your weapons immediately, don't resist." The mecha flashed a red light.
They didn't have any weapons at all, Opal looked at it, and had to throw the fruit omelet in his hand on the ground.
"Adventurer Raymond, you have violated Article 27 of the Imperial Law, and you are now under arrest for the crime of endangering national security. Your three companions have violated the social security law and will be punished by fines or detention. Please don't resist, Otherwise, you will be at your own risk.”
Raymond? Opal is weird.
Raymond's expression was also very dazed, and he asked, "I didn't do anything, what's going on?"
The pastor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was to trouble me, but I was a false alarm."
Opal frowned and said, "Falsely alarm you!"
"Don't be impulsive." Justin said: "Leave everything to me, and I will come forward to solve it."
