The Star Knight

"I wish you a long life—" Opal hummed, gesturing with his hands.

Raymond sat and wiped his weapon and asked, "What's going crazy?"

"No." Opal said stupidly: "After doing the battle, I summed it up, and I think about the game just now... You played well. It's very nervous to see you and the guy fighting in the air."

"You cooperated well." Raymond didn't look up.

Opal said: "Are you actually using big swords?"

Raymond said, "A little bit."

Opal asked: "Who taught you to fight? I remember you did not participate in the mercenary recruit training."

Raymond replied: "I said it was born, will you believe it?"

Opal turned his head for a moment and looked at Raymond. Raymond said nothing. He put his long-handled axe aside and went into the bedroom to sleep.The maid and Mrs. Anta lived on the spaceship for less than forty hours, and by the way, cleaned up their bedrooms.

They returned to the star on Tuesday, the magnetic storm has passed, and a new work week is coming.

Opal walked to the mercenary trade union gate and stopped, and the mission was over again.Raymond didn't talk much, but he always felt that there were a lot of unknown secrets. He never mentioned his life experience, nor did he make any request to Opal.

There were far fewer people, and the mercenaries who were entrusted on Monday all left for the mission.

Raymond delivered the task to the window of the mission hall on the first floor, and the other party said: "Azeroth has no time to see you. The South Gate Twins and Ms. Refina have sent him a communication during this time. You have to send Lei Fina’s chips are handed in. There is also an additional commission allowance-the 50,000 credit points added by Ms. Refina. She is very grateful to you for saving her from the kidnappers. No amount of money can match her. Life, so this little money is just talking..."

"Is she already awake?" Opal squeezed to the window and asked.

"Ah, yes." The staff said carelessly: "Press a fingerprint here, the money will be automatically drawn on your account. When Azeroth is free, he will meet you when he is free. He has recently been said to be busy... …Very busy. You got 105 points for this commission, congratulations, you are promoted again."

Raymond looked up at the circular bulletin board on the wall and asked, "How long is it until the next round of refreshing?"

The staff said: "There are still thirty-six hours, and your collaborative relationship is lifted. I wish you two long lives and the next one!"

The sun was shining outside, and Raymond returned the opal mercenary diary to him, and Opal flipped it through-F-level.The promotion requirement is 180 points.Opal Road: "How about you?"

Raymond said: "I'm still early, more than three thousand points."

Opal looked at his mercenary diary and Raymond's, and they were silent in the sun.

"So..." Raymond said.

Opal said: "Let's go together, partner, I mean seriously, I am willing to give you your back, you see, you are willing to fight with me."

Raymond said: "No. Opal, you are a good comrade-in-arms, loyalty, justice, kindness, humility, and always have been, this is my own reason."

Opal had nothing to say, Raymond was silent for a moment, and then said: "Party, I will cooperate again next time. Bye."

Suddenly, Opal shouted at Raymond: "You will not rent a boat!"

Raymond said while walking: "Not every mission needs a spaceship!"

Opal: "I won't lend you the boat again next time! I don't want to get a partner! I can't wait!"

Raymond turned back and walked back, poking his finger: "Just whatever you want!"

Opal cursed a swearing angrily and posted a dumb moment at the gate of the guild to examine his diary.

A mercenary commander previously said that as long as he was promoted to the E-level, he was recruited into the regiment, and he could be promoted with another 180.Although I forgot who the leader was, after going to the personnel hall on the second floor to wander around, I always encountered myself.

After these days, I probably know what is going on. At least I have achieved the purpose of familiarity. I will try harder after the bulletin board is refreshed.

So where do we go next?The star is seventy-two hours a day, fourteen days a week, and the commission is refreshed every two days. It is released six times a week...Thirteen-fourteen magnetic storms are on vacation.

There are thirty-six hours before a new round of tasks is refreshed. It is dark. There is nowhere to go in the long night. The light is on in the bar. Opal went to dinner and stayed in the store?No, everything is in the spaceship, go back to play games, and wait for a new round of mission cycle to begin.

He carried a big sword on his back and walked swaying under the street lights, like a lonely traveler. The street lights of Sunlight City are light blue, and the iris will emit a slight red fluorescence at night, mixed in one place, all The city is like a purple fairyland.

"I wish you a long life—" Opal helped the drunk on the roadside and smiled: "Alcohol is harmful to health."

"Children! Work hard! Don't be afraid of difficulties!" The drunk man patted solemnly on Opal's shoulder.

Opal also patted him on the shoulder. Many people in this city were retired from veterans, and most of them have quite rich combat experience-such as the innkeeper.After they have earned enough money, they will no longer be born and die, set up a small business, and have a birthday.

Opal enjoyed the fresh night breeze, and when he began to think of himself, would he do the same?No, his goal is to make a fortune, buy a spaceship with a transition function, drive around in the universe at will, and explore areas that have not been marked on the star map.

Rector said that the star map given to him is still a very small place, accounting for at most 3% of the universe. Perhaps the territory of the Republic and the Empire is more narrow, and they are only in 1% of the area.

There are too many places where the starry sky door has not been opened, and no one even knows where the end of the universe is, perhaps it has no territory in itself.

Opal bought a suit at the roadside clothing store, wear-resistant military trousers, non-slip Zhongbang boots, vest and jacket. After wearing it, he looked very energetic, cut his hair again, and his short hair was matched with his wheat-colored Skin color, looks sunny and healthy.The mercenaries like to wear it like this, and some also like to put some weird little things on their jackets and jackets, dotted patterns on their arms, wearing earrings or something.

Opal walked the street with a bag of old clothes, someone stopped on the roadside, whistled at him, and asked, "Hi! Wandering beautiful man! Take a ride? Where do you go?"

Opal laughed: "I didn't expect where to go."

"Let's go! Go for a ride!" The man was an unknown mercenary, and he beckoned at him. Opal got into the car, and the maglev vehicle flew into the air. Opal said: "I just returned from the mission?"

"Yeah." The mercenary turned on the music in front of the car and said, "I almost died in the Cancer Nebula, distracted, and it's really good to live this year."

Opal laughed: "It's a good life. I wish you a long life."

In the prosperous night, half of the stars are brightly lit, and the city of battle stars is shrouded in the boundary between day and night. Turning to the deep night, the star of God of War cast its blazing light on this land full of blood and hard work.

Opal chatted with the mercenary about their respective missions for a while, and when talking about the auction of the Eternal Star, the mercenary smiled and said: "There is such a good thing, I start to think that there is little money, and our head did not take it early. Know and follow the meal."

The two went around, and Opal yawned and said, "Let the apron drop me off and go back to sleep."

"OK." The mercenary said: "I wish you a long life!"

Opal got off and said goodbye to him, walked into the apron, and suddenly remembered to forget to ask his name.Forget it, maybe it will happen one day.

He began to like this planet gradually, feeling a sense of honor and shame.

"Is there a mission so late?" The policeman didn't look up.

"Come back to sleep." Opal lazily said: "Sleep on the spaceship."

The police said: "Always sleeping on the spaceship is not good. If you have money, go to the suburbs to buy a small house to live. There is a discount for the C level or above. The identity card is received. I wish you a long life."

Opal passed through, went to the IRC in the apron to check the accounts, and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

Xun: "Yes, yes, entrusting tasks with us can save a lot of money, at least no fees..."

The teenager's voice: "I don't have much money, but please help me."

Xun: "No problem, let me check your account first."

Opal said blankly: "What are you doing again?!"

I was taken aback, and said coldly: "Why are you again, don't do much business."

Opal took the teenager's wrist and pulled him aside, and said seriously to him: "The commissioned task will go to the union branch. Any union can be commissioned. There is a direct train outside, don't listen to him. Don't ask any People show your account... What are you doing?! Do you want to fight?!"

Opal couldn't help but say that the rush to the front was staggering a few steps, protecting the boy behind him.

Quickly shouted: "What is your business?! Do you want to be beaten again?"

Opal lifted his sleeves and shouted at him reluctantly: "Come on! I don't know who wants to be beaten. Did you forget the dog-like appearance last time?"

Xun's face was flushed and he had to go forward desperately. Several of his associates clearly remembered the last siege of Opal and Raymond.Opal pulled out the big sword behind him and leaned towards the ground, and no one dared to step forward.

"Do what! Don't fight!" The policeman who came out of the gate came.

Opal raised his eyebrows provocatively and closed his sword.

Quickly coldly said: "You look around."

Opal said coldly: "It's you who walk and see! If you want to make money, you will try to accept the commission yourself! Don't be a waste here! You are kidnapped and the mercenary's face is lost!"

Quickly trembling with anger, a full collar left from Opal.

The teenager was speechless for a while, and Opal said: "My name is Opal, what is your name?"

"Side." The teenager said: "Your name is Opal, um, good name, where am I going now? Here... why do I feel so tired."

Opal nodded and said, "Go outside and buy a map with the place marked on it. The star's gravity coefficient is 1.3. Don't run carefully and fracture. It will be fine after adjusting for a while."

The teenager asked: "There are...many cities? Which city is easier to commission?"

Opal Road: "Likewise, the city of Sunshine and the City of Soul of War are all acceptable. Most people in this place are good. It is worth believing.

Sid said: "Thank you...Thank you, I want to entrust a task."

Opal said: "Go to the union, there is a special person to receive, I don't know the process. If the guy comes back to haunt you again, you tell him, let him be careful."

Sid nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, I will remember you, Opal."

Opal waved his hand to signal that it was polite, carry the backpack back, enter the apron, and return to the spacecraft to sleep.

Thirty-six hours passed quickly, and Opal was dead in the spaceship, playing games with grass on his head. When the night passed, when the dawn came, E7 beeped to remind him to get up, Opal frizzled. , Take a bath and change your clothes, shave your beard, and prepare to welcome the start of the new working day.

Find a group, or take a single mission and continue to work hard.

At 0 o'clock in the morning, a ray of sunlight dyed the glow of the morning glow red, and mercenaries squeezed at the door of the union of the Sunshine City.

"Don't fight here!" Opal staggered and finally entered the lobby on the first floor.

The heads of the quarrels were everywhere along the way, and the female staff screamed: "It's no use telling me! No, there is, it's! I'm not afraid of you--!"

Opal went to the queue at the single mission window and couldn't find Raymond. Suddenly remembering that they were still wearing ear-clip communicators, they touched it subconsciously and asked, "Hey, man, where are you?"

Without answering, Raymond must have removed the communicator. Opal waited a little irritably and shouted: "Hurry up in front of you!"

"Have you heard! You are rushing behind!" The staff shouted to the person in front of him: "How do I know what the employer has a case! This is not our business, the next one! Let go!"

Opal waited, and saw that the single task on the bulletin board was picked up and disappeared one by one, shaking his left leg impatiently, and a small robot flew over and stretched out the communicator.

"F-class mercenary opal, you have communication from the sunset city." Electronic soundtrack.

Opal thought of the chip that Mrs. Anta gave Azeroth, and immediately received it, but there was another voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Opal?"

Opal responded in a hurry. After listening to the content, he said helplessly: "I'm receiving the commission. What is this? Can't I pass it on to others?"

"Consulting and tour guides are also part of the entrustment. The employer submitted a commission and asked for special help from you. I hope that you will adhere to the spirit of mercenaries and complete it seriously."

Opal couldn't help crying, so he turned around and left the union hall, and found an empty car to drive to the sunset city.

The union hall of the sunset city is decorated with high-end luxury, but there are mercenaries arguing in the luxurious place. The young Sid, who met on the apron yesterday, stood at a union clerk and looked up at Opal.

Opal utterly annihilated, such a tossing method, no one expected his task.

"Can I help you?" asked Opal.

Sid's face was pale, shorter than Opal, and he said, "I only know you. The gentleman said that my commission rating is too high. There are not enough credit points, so I issued a...consult commission , Would you like to help me sell something."

Opal Road: "What are the details of your mission? How much does it cost?"

The clerk behind Sid said expressionlessly: "Mercenary, I have to remind you that it is illegal to take the employer’s entrustment privately, and you will be detained for ten days with a three-level downgrade."

Opal couldn't help crying: "I know the rules very well! Let's go through the process now! No need to remind you, thank you!"

Opal went to the card to accept the designated commission, but said helplessly: "Forget it, let's have a breakfast first, I will treat you."

This is the first time he has come to this city. The style is very different from that of Sun City. The buildings are all dusk-colored. Although it is only early morning, the whole city is shrouded in a glimmer of light and very quiet.

Opal wore crimson sunglasses and a mercenary uniform, sitting outside the garden cafe, and the morning light sprinkled on him, handsome and uninhibited, with a firm male charm.

"I only have three thousand credit points," Sid said. "I left something with my mother before I died. I want to use it for some money and then commission the task. The staff said that there is no pawnshop here... Maybe some people will buy it. It. I don’t know who to ask. I only know you. Please ask me if anyone wants to buy it."

"Let me see." Opal took a thing from Sid and asked, "What is this? Jewel?"

Sid nodded and said: "My mother died when I was very young. It is the only heirloom she left to me..."

Opal's long fingers rubbed the red gem over and over and couldn't see the end. He said, "Is there a history? How much do you want to sell with it?"

Sid: "Two hundred thousand."

Opal's sunglasses almost fell off and asked: "Such a small piece of stuff will sell for two, ten, ten thousand?!"

Sid: "That's what they said. I still have 60,000 to 70,000... I need to pay at least 250,000 in order to deliver the commission. 50,000 as a handling fee, 200,000 to ... to the mercenaries."

Opal: "What type of delegation? Don't allow private tasks, just ask the type."

Sid looked sadly: "Finding people."

Opal Road: "Are there any detailed clues?"

Sid shook his head.

Opal's heart is really difficult to find. The task of tracing people is the most difficult. The tracing of people without any clues is no less than a needle in a haystack. Basically, a mercenary is not willing to take this type of task.Asking one planet after another is a waste of time and life.

Usually the period of the tracing task is very long, and the longest can even extend to hundreds of years. It is impossible for Opal himself to take this task, and he cannot attack him.He put the gem down for a while and said, "I have a friend who may know what your gem is for, you are here and so on."

Opal got up and went to the union, and the disaster finally came-the bulletin board of the sunset city was refreshed.There were noisy mercenaries everywhere, filling the hall.

Opal was squeezed in misery, and finally ran up to the second floor, pushing away the person in front of him, looking for the liaison: "Can you help me find the wrench?!"

The contact person gave him a white look: "Do you not have a communicator?"

"Hey!" the mercenary behind shouted: "What attitude do you have! How can this be to the taxpayer! He is also a mercenary! We all pay taxes!"

The liaison screamed: "What is fierce! I am not afraid of you! Don't pay taxes if you have the ability! You can't even receive the task without paying taxes!"

Opal said: "I'm looking for a wrench! Help me contact him!"

The liaison said: "The person in charge of communication hasn't come to work yet! Can't you go to the machine shop to buy a short-wave terrestrial electronic communicator yourself? Only six hundred yuan!"

"I help you find me help you find it!" someone shouted later: "His house is in the city of the setting sun! Brother, if you let it go, I have to do something!"

Someone contacted Opal with the wrench. The wrench had a messy hair and looked like he didn't wake up. He squeezed onto the second floor: "I'm in the lobby on the first floor. What are you doing here?"

Opal said: "Do me a favor."

The wrench said bitterly: "Without time, we didn't even get the task this week..."

Opal said: "I pay! Three thousand!"

Wrench said: "Hurry up...no money for you."

Opal and the wrench came down. The wrench took the baseball cap in Lily's hand and buckled it on her head. Lily turned her head and greeted Opal: "Hi! Little Ou! Hello! Meet again! What's the matter? Where are you going, baby?"

Opal: "Let your boyfriend use it! Just one click!"

Wrench: "Come back now."

Lily said to the window: "We will find it together if we have different systems! Sister! We have twelve people to raise. You can do it! You just need to do the same thing as before when you send the task!"

The staff at the window did not eat her set, and suddenly said: "But now you have to re-register the form! Sister! You are all missing, I want fingerprint verification! Otherwise, how can I register?! I want you to cheat for you Really? You can do it well-sister!"

Opal was so arrogant that Venus stared out with a wrench and said, "I thought you were leaving on Monday."

Wrench: "We have a team member to go home and work, there is one less person, and now we can't receive team tasks."

Opal: "You are so miserable..."

Wrench: "Otherwise, why do you think the group leader is in a hurry to find a replacement. Let's say, what's the matter? Have a top Sphinx coffee, thank you."

The wrench sat down in front of the open-air cafe and snapped his fingers. The machine waiter went to serve coffee. There were more guests. Most of them were small teams of two or three people. They came out to have breakfast and plan after receiving the commission in the sunset city. task.

Sid explained the intention, the wrench took the gem in his hand, took out a pair of lenses, a small toolbox, and a radio generator from his pocket.

"This is not a jewelry product." The wrench carefully tested and muttered: "This is a synthetic product."

"Is it valuable?" Opal only cares about this.

The wrench was expressionless and shook his head gently.

"I don’t think any mercenaries will need it. If you don’t rush to cash out, you can give it to the people of the Galaxy Antiques Association for an appraisal fee. Maybe you can sell a high price. Of course, it may be worthless. Look at luck."

Sid said: "But it is... the heirloom of my mother's family, she told me to keep it safe..."

The wrench asked: "From what channel? You can't be in your house from the beginning."

Sid did not answer.

"How long does it take to sell them to the Antiques Association?" Sid asked again.

"It's hard to say." Wrench said with a shrug: "It may take at least two or three cosmic years."

Opal looked a little unbearable and said, "Maybe you can think of other ways to make this stuff famous?"

Wrench said: "The material of this stuff may be a little old, but the shaped crystals in the universe have basically existed for hundreds of millions of years, which can't explain anything. Moreover, there is no factory batch number on it, nor the name of the manufacturer, and it cannot be used as an antique. Sell, look."

The wrench injects a beam of light into the gemstone, and the beam of light spreads out after entering the center of the gemstone, reflecting a halo.

Opal didn't understand it at all and said, "Oh, what does this mean?"

The wrench said: "It is a technique that was rare in ancient times. The crystal structure inside is relatively complicated. The divergent light is refracted by tens of thousands of crystal clusters, showing different and distinguishing characteristics, forming a halo. In fact, Inside, the halo is composed of tens of thousands of beams with completely different frequencies."

Opal nodded blankly, and Sid heard a sense of confusion. The wrench put away the tool and finished drinking coffee. "It may be the optical signal control center of some complex machinery, but no one in the known machinery currently adopts this center." The way the signal is transmitted. It may also be abandonment of the failed test article. I will not buy it. I wish you a long life, and I am gone."

Opal nodded and said goodbye to the wrench, Sid sighed.

"Put it away." Opal said: "I will return the commission to you in full. There are two long-distance sailing ships today. You can take the boat to the Milky Way..."

"No one wants it." Sid finally told the truth: "I came from the Milky Way. The pawn shop of the United Chamber of Commerce is only willing to pay 20,000, because they don't know what this is."

Opal Road: "When antiques sell?"

Sid shook his head, Opal said: "Listen, try again, maybe there will be a turnaround."

Sid said: "It can't be done, the time is too long, my dad may be dead."

Opal stunned, then vaguely guessed something, this is related to his father?So the tracing mission is a complete mess. I don’t even know the life and death.

But Opal still said: "Come on, don't give up." He himself felt that this was a bit silly.

"Hello." A middle-aged man with glasses politely said: "Is it Mr. Opal? Wish you a long life."

Opal frowned and looked up at him, feeling that this middle-aged man was a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Opal nodded, wearing glasses, middle-aged man said: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I have limited time, so I have to offend." Said Bi right hand clenched on his left shoulder, bowed politely, Opal After recovering from the gods, he got up and saluted, and the two fists touched gently.Opal said: "Speak here, Sid, wait a minute for me."

The middle-aged man said to Sid: "I won't take up too much of your time."

Opal asked the waiter to have coffee, sat down with another middle-aged man at another table, looked at him for a moment, and always felt that he was very familiar.His face had a sense of vicissitudes and mature male charm, and it looked quite old, and his eyebrows behind the glasses were wise and warlike, which he had only seen in Rector's eyes.There is a wonderful sense of harmony between elegance and ruggedness.

The middle-aged man has short reddish brown hair, the hair of two temples slightly covers the ears, and the stubble of the side face is trimmed with a sexy blue.

His fingers are thick and long, his hands are large, and he wears two rings on his middle and index fingers.

Opal couldn't remember where he had seen this person before, but he couldn't tell the familiar.

"Introduce yourself, my name is Krilaus Ben Azeroth." Middle-aged humane.

Opal: "..."

Opal suddenly realized: "So you shaved your beard and cut your hair short! I said it!"

Azeroth said: "Occasionally... also trim it."

The two were relatively speechless for a moment, and Opal realized that sitting in front of him was the spiritual pillar of the entire Ares galaxy-the legendary undefeated God of War, mercenary king Azeroth.
