Fortunately, Drummon has prepared information for Opal, otherwise he and Raymond will search this ocean of knowledge alone, and I don't know when they will find it.
The two got into the car, followed the retrieval robot into the vast darkness, arrived at the center of the Prophet's library, received a note in a small room, and then headed to the designated bookshelf according to the position of the note.
But even so, there is too much information about the wheel of time, there are tens of thousands of books and folders, as large as the drawings for its manufacture, the background of the times, and the blue book of the interstellar community to start the time plan, which is used on ships. Techniques, family trees of all members, detailed animal lists and more…
There are 118 engine books alone, and there are also notes from researchers who participated in the design and manufacture.
Raymond had his back against the bookshelf, and the two sat on the ground. The books around him were piled high like a hill, while Opal was leaning against his arms. Every time they got a book and flipped through it, they felt it was useless, so they threw them aside. Robots take them away.
After an unknown amount of time, Opal yawned, shook Raymond's chin, and said, "Hello."
"What?" Raymond didn't look up from the book.
Opal always felt that Raymond was a little absent-minded today. He looked around, and there was no one around, so he repeated what the Pope said, Raymond said: "You are unique, what does this mean? In all parallel universes, only a you?"
Opal shrugged: "Maybe, who knows? Why don't you seem to be in shape?"
"Me?" Raymond said blankly, then smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the wrench."
Opal said, "What happened to him?"
Raymond said: "Let him tell you later, but I think of another thing, if in all parallel universes, there is only one person like you beside me in this world, then what about me in other universes? manage?"
Opal said: "Yes!"
He couldn't help but start thinking about how the parallel universe would develop without his own existence. Without him, Rickett might have died on the B-11, and Raymond would be alone, or join someone's mercenary group when he went to the Fierce Star.
Maybe Xun will be a pirate's captive, and Sid the pirate
"When Coroline marched on Fierce Star." Raymond said thoughtfully, "I should die."
Opal thought for a while and said, "No, without me, you may not stay in the strong star, or in other mercenary groups, maybe you will not participate in the war..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows and said, "I might have died when I started working as a mercenary..."
Opal said: "Oh forget it, it doesn't really make much sense to discuss this."
He stretched and stood up and said, "I'll go for a walk."
Raymond snorted solemnly and continued to flip through the information absentmindedly, as if he was thinking about what he would become without Opal at the same time.
In fact, Opal was also quite curious. He drove to the Prophet Library Center and found a person standing there - Andis.
"What are you looking for?" Andis asked proactively.
Opal said, "Well... nothing, come and see."
His original intention was to find some replica technology, but he wouldn't say it. He stood and watched for a while, and saw Andis sorting out a box of notes, with another piece of paper at his hand.
"What is this? The ancient era before the era of light... The records of distant stars?"
Andis said: "This is what the Huanxing Lord asked the Pope for. It involves ancient secret books. I'm sorry that I can't explain it to you in too much detail."
Opal yawned, it was night, he got into the car, went out along the library, wanted to get some fresh air, and returned to the garden outside the Hall of Stars.
"Wrench!" Opal said.
The wrench standing in the garden turned around, his tone still flat and emotionless, and said, "Hi, buddy."
Opal laughed, went up to hug him, and beat him a few times.
Wrench smiled faintly, avoiding Opal's fist, he was more haggard than before, with a feeling of almost morbid frailty, but he was wearing a simple brown leather armor with an iris collar pin on his collar. The armor opal, seen before, is the attire of the mercenary king Azeroth when he attends major ceremonies on festivals.
"What are you doing here?" Opal asked.
"Wait for you." Wrench said tiredly, and sat down on the bench. Opal felt countless feelings in his heart and said, "You still remember me, I thought you had forgotten."
Wrench said, "How can I forget my savior?"
Opal said: "Is there?"
Wrench smiled and said, "Did you forget the time you rescued me from the meteorite carrier?"
Opal sighed: "Let's forget it, how have you been recently?"
Wrench sighed and said, "How many years have you been away from Fierce Star? What's going on? I've been tracking down your whereabouts for a long time..."
Wrench began to tell Opal what happened on the star after he left, intermittently, Opal was surprised to find that Wrench could not even connect his own thoughts, so he tried to read his thoughts while listening to help understanding , many of the past are cluttered, showing him the chaos of Lie Xing.
After Azeroth's death, Wrench led All Star to form an alliance with the Empire, and prompted the Mercenary Union to open up a preferential treatment policy to the Empire, including a series of preferential treatment such as tasks and recruits.
More and more people from the empire entered the Fierce Star. They formed gangs based on their provincial origins and formed a confrontation with the local mercenaries. The empire infiltrated the mercenary trade unions, and the high-level officials were silent about this silent political battle. Eyes, close one eye.
The kingdom of mercenaries began to divide, becoming local mercenaries, new recruits joined after the war by the Star Guards, and visitors from the empire who infiltrated the local empire as the mercenary queen who succeeded the Wrench. The three camps were tit for tat, and the mission became the fuse of all contradictions. Many newly established mercenary groups often fought in the street to compete for the mission, and the situation became very tense. In the end, the conflict broke out after a large-scale fight by a mercenary group.
The local mercenary group took the lead in provoking the incident. After the wrench found out the inside story, he had to dismiss the two A-level mercenary group leaders and investigate. His prestige could not suppress the country of mercenaries, and it aroused a more violent backlash.
Based on false speculations in an anonymous letter, the mercenaries began to accuse him of being a chess piece planted by Cororin on the Fierce Star, and questioned his real purpose after being appointed in danger.
Opal: "… "
"This kind of... This kind of rumor is also, and will some people believe it?" Opal said.
The wrench smiled bitterly: "I don't know who made the rumor. How is this possible? Do you believe it? Since I am a fine work sent by Cororin, why should I lean towards the empire?"
"Well." Opal said guiltyly: "Yes, yes."
The wrench said again: "Urka left, only Rosen stayed in Fierce Star, the A-level mercenary group initiated a joint signature to keep the perpetrators of the group fight..."
"Is it serious?" Opal asked.
Wrench replied: "It's very serious. It was an assassination operation launched at Ledgerson's concert. Their battle affected an important member of the empire, framed, and traced. That day, the whole star was like a civil war... It was not until dawn. I found out that the leader of a B-rank mercenary group escaped, you should have seen him, a guy named Yin Yao, he also participated in this... Reverse... Well, it should be regarded as a revolution."
Opal listened silently, looked up at the wrench, and the wrench said again: "Lily and many others asked me to execute the perpetrators, but not execute the execution, how should I explain to the empire? How to convince the public? So I finally killed them. It's not easy to be a mercenary king. I never wanted to be a mercenary king from the beginning... Rosen, Urka, and Sister Haitang all said I would do it."
"Lily left, Xun and Sid started to oppose me with a lot of mercenary brothers." Wrench said: "Now there is unprecedented chaos on the fierce star, and some of the mercenaries sent by the empire have exposed Azeroth's story. A record, I want to use this to attack the rebel camp, because Azeroth killed the late king Kyle Ray, and signed a 50-year draft peaceful immigration treaty with the Empire, Xun issued a statement, acknowledging the matter of Kyle Ray , saying he's Azeroth's son will make up for the mistakes his father once made... Honestly, do you know how lost I am when these things happen in one day, Opal?"
Opal said: "It's like losing faith in a split second, not knowing the meaning of what you've been doing..."
Wrench nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, yes. I'm starting to waver. I want to hand over the throne to Xun, but their plan is not yet mature. If the empire launches a force to suppress, Lie Xing will only welcome Bikolorin. More terrible bloodbath."
Opal said, "Listen to me, wrench."
Wrench said: "No, let me say, Opal, I'm just a technician, I don't even know how to operate mecha, they don't want to listen to me now, Rosen and Urka used to be loyal to me, everyone has their own Rosen desperately wanted to kill Coroline and avenge his comrade-in-arms Grey Wolf, Haitang wanted to avenge his younger brother, Urka was a retired Imperial Army officer, he had always been in touch with the Imperial Army, and the relationship was still very good... I needed to coordinate these relationships, and they were actually the ones in power, I just... but I didn't listen to them afterwards."
"And in this situation, Lie Xing is not Cororin's opponent at all, so he can only put everything on hold for the time being, without patience, how can the mother star become stronger? Whether it is to sell Lie Xing to the empire or to Iszur , is not what I want..."
Opal said: "Wrench, that anonymous letter was written by me. Sorry, I don't know..."
Wrench's expression was a little confused, then nodded and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter."
Opal said: "I..."
Wrench saw what Opal meant and said, "No, it's okay, Opal, your letter is just an excuse for them to launch violence. That letter contradicts my political inclination and doesn't make much practical sense. In fact, I ... I doubted it too. Are you sure?"
"Coroline implanted the dream in your heart on the mothership." Opal said: "He controls the kingdom of mercenaries by controlling you, this is just my suspicion, but I am not sure if it is... These are all My guess… "
Wrench said: "Yeah."
Opal said: "The Ledgerson concert was for... You didn't listen to his concert?"
The wrench shook his head and said, "No."
Opal said: "Are you okay... wrench?"
The wrench's consciousness seemed to be a little confused. Opal raised his hand to touch his head, but the wrench took his hand down and clenched it tightly. It seemed that the hands they held together contained some kind of inexplicable emotion. in.
"The phantom said that there is a voice in my soul." Wrench said: "So I have been fighting against this voice. Use the method they taught."
"Phantom people?" Opal asked inexplicably.
Wrench said: "Prisoners of the Eye of Igna, they promised to do three things for Firestar."
Opal immediately remembered.
Wrench said: "They don't want to help us deal with Coroline, tell me that my soul is affected by many people. All outside interference must be eliminated."
Opal said, "How do you get rid of distractions?"
Wrench said: "They asked me to sleep less and strengthen my beliefs. I often don't sleep, and I'm really sleepy. I just follow what they said, write down the things I think about before going to bed, just sleep for a while, and sleep for a while. Re-read all of my notes when I wake up to make up my mind."
Opal didn't know what to say, and said, "Don't go back, I'll find a way to talk to Xun and let him come to the country of the arc."
Wrench said: "No, I have to go back, now I'm a bachelor, I spend my last ounce of effort, dedicate my life to the mother star, and fulfill my promise..."
As Wrench said this, Raymond was running from the side of the garden with a book in his hand.
Opal knew that Raymond had found important information, but he had waited for so long anyway, and it was nothing to wait for a while, so he signaled with his eyes.
Raymond nodded to show his understanding, and came over and said, "Wrench, what are you doing here?"
Wrench said: "I ask the Pope to put pressure on the Empire to let Rotman try not to interfere in the internal affairs of Fierce Star. If it is impossible, try to delay the date of sending the Galaxy Discord Team."
Raymond touched the wrench's head, sat down beside Opal, put his arms on Opal's shoulder, and said, "Wrench, you need a lover to accompany you, you are under too much pressure, do I need to introduce you?"
Wrench smiled and said, "No, I'm a married man, thank you for your kindness, Raymond."
Opal glanced at the wrench and said to Raymond, "Something happened to the star."
Raymond nodded slowly and made a questioning wink, and Opal nodded, signaling him to ask.
"Wrench, what do you need most right now?" Raymond said. "Opal and I are willing to provide the best help we can."
Wrench sighed and said: "I want to sleep most now. Opal, it feels much better to say that, the Pope asked me to wait for you in the garden, saying that as long as I see you, I can sleep, maybe it is true of."
Opal moved in his heart and understood what the Pope meant. He said, "Sleep here."
Their holding hands loosened, and Opal held Wrench by the shoulders and let him lie down on the bench against his lap.
"I grant you a dreamless sleep." Opal whispered, then put his hand on the wrench's forehead.
The moment Wrench closed his eyes, the power of Opal's belief invaded his mind, the memory fragments of those fierce stars, the fierce and red-faced quarrel of the mercenary leaders in the God of War Building, the wrench drew his sword in anger, tens of thousands of mercenaries Kneeling on the knees, crying bitterly in the gray rainstorm, war, killing, Lily's scolding and running away...
The picture of memory freezes on him standing in front of the stairs of the God of War Building, his eyes are red and staring at the sky.
The flaming red lips of the Twelve Nebula Mercenaries cut through the sky and left, symbolizing that Lily and their son left his life forever.
Responsibility, betrayal, misunderstanding, the scene flashed again, too late to take a closer look, until Ledgerson stared into his eyes and said something to him.
Opal keenly captured this fleeting moment, and the spirit gathered a force to shatter Ledgerson's image!
The sleeping wrench twitched all over his body in an instant, and Opal went deep again, reaching the wrench's subconscious.
There were raging lava pools and fires, and the lava coalesced into a naked human figure and emerged from the pool, roaring arrogantly at him.
Opal was shocked, and he was about to be expelled from this closed subconscious area, but another voice sounded, and the lava immediately dispersed.
"Opal?" Coroline said, "What are you doing in the mind of the mercenary king?"
"Old... teacher." Opal calmed down and said, "You really controlled him."
Corollin said: "I haven't had time to do anything, you're here to take revenge. If you like this place, I can give it to you. How about I go to the outer consciousness?"
Opal couldn't help laughing and crying: "Can you untie him, teacher?"
Coroline stopped joking with him and said, "Listen, Opal, if you want to defend Fierce Star, you have to prepare to deal with Kyle Ray, and Caer Ray is not something you can handle at this stage, you have to ask the Pope for help , don't go to Liexing to die indiscriminately with your blood on your head."
Opal said: "Is Kyle stronger than you?"
Cororin said: "He used to be the king when I was a mercenary. When I fought against him, I had a little lack of faith. I originally planned to lock him up for a while, and then make a decision after observing it clearly, but your friend released it ahead of time. ."
"Neither I nor the Empire are enemies of Fierce Star, only Kelley is. Think clearly, Opal." After Cororin finished his last words, the lava completely disappeared.
Opal opened his eyes, and Wrench was already asleep.
Raymond whispered, "Is he better?"
Opal nodded and said, "We have to stay here for a while... Find a way to ask the Pope."
