The Star Knight

The first mission of the Yan and Sword Mercenary Corps was only 4,000 credits, and it was tragic to stay on the Musu planet for seven days. The new Star Gate established a perfect node. There are thousands of breeding planets here. Belonging to the wasteland between the stars.

It would have to wait for three cosmic years before the Musu Galaxy could determine its true attribution. At that time, the Republic will make administrative plans. However, the owners of the ownership of these planets can’t wait to start sending a large number of robots for reclamation.

It is very cold here. The temperature difference between day and night is close to the 40-degree cosmic temperature scale. Most places are desolate, but the land is very fertile. The phosphorus, iron and ammonia, and trace elements are rich in content. A farmer dragged his family to come and prepare for the big Musu flowers are planted in the area.

Raymond bargained with the employer, hoping to add some task reward, but the employer was so stingy that he didn't eat this set at all.

"I bought the right to use for twenty years." The employer shouted with his neck: "It only cost 18 million yuan! Do you want me 4,000 at once?"

Raymond was helpless and had to come back depressed. The two crouched beside the farm and acted as scarecrows to guard the greenhouse.

The greenhouse covers an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, and you have to drive from one end to the other.

With a gravity coefficient of only 0.7, Opal couldn’t help but jump around, hopping among the flower fields and feeling the thrill of flying into the air.

"Yohe--" Opal had a long leg, hurdled five meters in the greenhouse between the fields, and touched the ceiling of the greenhouse.

"Don't play!" Raymond said angrily.

Opal bouncing around, like an unrestrained spring, ran away after a while.

At night, Opal dragged his nose back, and Raymond borrowed a portable atomic furnace from his employer. The two set up a simple nest. They stayed at the greenhouse and watched the night. Even if there was a shed, the night wind was still blowing from nowhere. Later, the temperature dropped to minus ten degrees.

"Let's eat." Raymond divided some meat, sprinkled with sunny peppers, and poured Opal a small glass of Sagittarius volcanic spirits.

Opal Road: "How to be on duty at night?"

Raymond sat cross-legged on the ground and said to himself: "You sleep, I will be on duty at night."

Opal was eating barbecue, looking up at the house outside the greenhouse outside, which was brightly lit with a bright yellow light, and the employer's family was eating — it was a cozy and warm little den.

Opal glanced at Raymond, Raymond said: "How?"

Opal waved his hand, raised an evil curiosity, turned his head, and exuded the power of conviction. He first retreated, and then sneaked a peek into Raymond's thinking.What is Raymond thinking?Occasionally, reading your mind once is harmless.

Opal's mind reading is very, very little, not as much as hypnosis. This is the first time he has used it in his eighth classic. He read Raymond's thinking and felt a strange fluctuation.It was a few fragmentary pieces, glowing in the dark, gradually advancing... clearer, clearer.

Two moons?The scene in Raymond's thinking is a black-blue sky with two moons on it, the ground is gray, and many corpses are buried on the ground, just like a ruin.

Opal couldn't help but raise his head, across the greenhouse roof, and saw three moons in the sky.

Raymond looked up and said, "Moonlight is beautiful."

Opal yelled and analyzed the scene that Raymond was thinking, that should be where he had stayed in the past.He didn’t dare to ask, and after a while, Raymond thought of another picture-it was a warm place with a burning fireplace in it, just like the employer’s home, Raymond was lying on the sofa. Sitting on the carpet reading.

Hey?I actually appeared in his mind, and Opal was a little funny.

After eating, Raymond packed up and said, "Go to bed first."

The night breeze outside the greenhouse was like a beast roaring uncomfortably in the dark. Opal and Raymond slept together against the glowing atomic furnace. Raymond narrowed his eyes. Opal looked at the gem in his hand against the fire in the furnace.

"Don't read it," Raymond said. "Even if it's worth 200,000, can you still sell it?"

"Also." Opal said: "Every regiment has a souvenir. I don't know what Azeroth gave the wrench to their regiment."

Raymond said: "I heard that some clusters are a cup, and when the twelve star cluster was established, they got a sword."

Opal said: "Or when our regiment grows and recruits more comrades, this gem can also become a heirloom."

Raymond said: "Forget it, now it's enough."

Opal put away the jewels, shrugged, and found out that he had never seen Raymond sleeping...or rather, he had never seen him fall asleep.

Thoughts spread out indefinitely, and Opal thought about what Rosen said when he handed the gem to him, and the first commission Azeroth received when he became a quasi-F mercenary.

What is the spirit and feelings of mercenaries?

Money seems to have become a secondary factor. What Opal felt faintly. The mercenaries’ ideas are actually similar to the Star Knights. They are busy in the vast universe. On the surface, they are to earn employers’ compensation, but in fact they are The moment you complete the commission, in addition to money, there are more things in return for your hard work...

Opal fell asleep, feeling Raymond put his coat under his head, let him lie down, and got up to patrol the flower field.

Raymond was holding a cigarette, wearing a white vest and mercenary trousers, his boots stepped over the wet mud, a star of red dots looming in the darkness.Mu Suhua exudes phosphorous light. Raymond laughed thinking about it, ran a few steps, jumped silently, jumped a few meters, flew to the top of the greenhouse, and touched the ceiling.

Opal snored, and suddenly suffocated in the quiet night, feeling something approaching towards the center of the flower field from all directions.

He opened his eyes and was underground!

"Raymond?" Opal raised his hand and pressed the silver buckle on his pinna.

Raymond landed, stopped, pressed his ears, and said, "Why?"

The two were silent for a while, and learned that Suo Suo's voice gradually became clear. Opal said: "There are enemies!"

Raymond turned around and started to run. Opal grabbed the weapons of the two leaning against the wall and got up and ran towards Raymond!A roar sounded under the moon, and a giant earthworm-like alien creature suddenly emerged from the ground, spinning and swallowing towards Raymond!

Leimong leapt forward and crossed with Opal in the air. Opal threw a long-handled axe, which Raymond held, and the two took advantage of a spin and landed at the same time.

Opal: "You support, I block the front!"

Raymond: "I am a heavy weapon, ahead of me!"

Opal: "I am a shield-type fighting force, ahead of me!"

Raymond: "Don't be wordy! Come here!"

The two were still fighting for the striker position, and the giant earthworm made a harsh roar and pierced its head forward.

"Flash off!"

Raymond pushed Opal away, the two swept out obliquely, and the earthworms were hitting their previous footings and digging into the mud.

Opal said: "Teacher! The sword can be attacked and defended! You are responsible for support!"

Raymond said frantically: "I have something to say later! Come here again!"

With two loud bangs, Opal fluttered, rolled in the mud, got up, and saw a sword cut off from the raised ground, followed by the sound of sharp teeth acid rubbing, which was more than ten meters long. The worm cramped painfully, flapping on the ground, spilling fluorescent mucus, and Opal was swept away without warning.There were no fingers in the darkness, and there were men shouting angrily at the entrance of the greenhouse.

Several flare flew around, and Raymond shouted: "Don't shoot!"

An explosion, a loud noise, the sound of a cracked greenhouse shed, Opal struggled to get up, staring at Venus.

Raymond carried Opal: "It's alright."

The lights in the greenhouse were turned on, and the wind was pouring inwards. Opal saw Raymond's arm wiped by the light flare and exploded in an instant. He shouted: "What fun are you coming out for!"

He rushed over to grab the employer's collar and pushed him to the ground. Raymond looked around and retrieved the axe, the woman screamed, and there was chaos outside the greenhouse.

Raymond said: "Don't hit the employer! Calm down!"

Opal still burst into flames, pointing at the employer with a gun, coldly said: "You remember it for me."

"I'm sorry I'm sorry," the employer's daughter said: "My dad didn't mean it... I see, is it hurt? We have a radiation medical device."

The employer's wife came out with a first-aid kit, Raymond waved his hand in a gesture, simply bandaged it, and took on his coat.Standing with Opal in the middle of the flower field, looking at the tail of the earthworm cut off by the axe.

The nearly two-meter-long worm tail creeps on the ground, Opal said: "Without eyes, the digestive juice is corrosive. This kind of creature should rely on ground vibration sensing to determine the enemy's position."

Raymond nodded and said, "Find a way to catch this stuff."

Late at night, the two shuddered and shrunk together in a mess of flower fields.

The next morning, it was dawn, and the workers came out to fill the holes in the greenhouse. The employer's eyes were covered with red silk, and his face was very unsightly. He came out and said, "Your task is finished."

"What?" Opal and Raymond spoke in unison.

The employer said: "Go back immediately and the delegation will end."

Opal frowned: "What do you mean?"

Raymond signaled Opal a little bit more and said, "We were also forced to do what happened last night...Today we can certainly solve this problem."

The employer shouted: "It's not a job to hire you to eat in vain! I made a mess of my flower field, but I haven't grasped the thing yet. The greenhouse is broken like this! I'm looking for your superior to complain!"

Opal took a deep breath, thought about it, stared at his eyes, and said, "Are you sure?"

employer:"……"

"Slow down." Raymond said: "Let me negotiate."

He took out the diary of the mercenary and said to the employer: "Sir, you'd better look at this first. Regarding the task rating of this commission, it is a'D'. What does D stand for? It means you don't need to hire a too senior mercenary group As long as it costs very little 4,000 credits, two people are required to work in a vigil on shift, and you can leave when time is up, so in principle, you conceal some facts from the union."

Opal said: "No need to talk to him, let me come."

"What do you want to do!" The employer angered angrily: "Want to make money and kill lives!"

"No, no." Raymond pulled Opal aside and whispered into his ear: "You can help them make up the greenhouse."

Opal has no channel: "Why should I do this?"

Raymond said: "Because I am the leader."

Opal: "You better think of some other reason. Article 2 of the Mercenary Code, don't succumb to power, don't use the identity of the leader to press me."

Raymond frowned: "Obey."

Opal glanced arrogantly at the distant employers, withdrew the big sword behind his back and went to repair the greenhouse.

Raymond went back to the employer to negotiate, and Opal climbed up anxiously to help the workers.

Raymond said to the employer: "You fired us now, that big guy will come again in a few days, maybe more, you have no way. And we will report the task details to the union after we go back, you see, the mercenary diary It’s all written on this page. They will send someone to investigate, and finally deduct your 50% commission, as a fine for breach of contract, and you will be on the blacklist of the mercenary capital. Your mission is over, why not?"

The employer said: "You don't have this ability at all! I..."

"With this ability," Raymond said: "Last night was purely an accident with incomplete information collection, and you also have a certain responsibility. Because you didn't tell us what is happening here. Now that it is clear, we will help you solve it."

"Look," Raymond said again. "My people have already repaired your greenhouse. Think about it yourself. Would you like to fire us now, go on the blacklist of mercenary countries, or continue to cooperate."

The employer glanced at Opal in the distance, and went home in a daze.

Opal turned out of the greenhouse from the ladder, the sun came out, the ground was warm, and the temperature in the greenhouse rose a lot.He looked at the wasteland in the distance, a thoughtful look.

Raymond came over and the two exchanged glances, and they understood each other.

"What are you thinking?" Raymond said.

Opal Answer: "You can use the terrain outside to lay a trap."

Raymond said: "I want to dig a hole along the area it drilled yesterday to see."

Opal: "Oh, forgive me, I really don't want to drill holes anymore."

Raymond laughed and said, "Then you have the final say."

Opal carrying the big sword, looked around and said, "I need a lasso, like the kind used by the little green people to control giant bulls on Kodo stars... what is it called?"

Raymond puzzled: "What?"

Opal drew a rope shape on the ground, and in the following time, the two began to work hard, knotting a lasso with the remaining long rope of the scaffold.Time passed slowly, this time the giant earthworm did not reappear.

Raymond asked, "Where did you learn these?"

Opal said: "The teacher taught me that he taught me before. When dealing with large and dangerous creatures without intelligence, you can try to weaken its combat power from the aspects of control, wrestling, and trapping, and finally end the fight with another blow."

Raymond nodded, and Opal said, "Where did you learn to negotiate with people?"

Raymond knotted the rope without lifting his head. His fingers unscrewed the steel bar with great force, not even Opal.

"If you are born with it, do you believe it?" Raymond said.

"But the first time I saw you." Opal said a little puzzled: "You are not like this now."

Raymond said: "That's because I'm too new to the environment. Beware of it. I don't know if the humans around me are benevolent or malicious. Some planets are very dangerous."

He looked up at Opal and smiled. Opal stared at his handsome eyebrows and found that compared to the first time they met, the alert look in Raymond's eyes was gone. Instead, it was a familiar look.

Seems to have seen in Rector's eyes.

Raymond said: "I didn't like dealing with people before..."

Opal Road: "Now?"

Raymond said: "It's okay, okay."

Both laughed, and the voice of the girl behind her said, "Two gentlemen."

Raymond turned his head. His smile was bright and full of sunshine. The girl was stunned and gave them a basket full of food. She smiled and said, "I'm very sorry for my father's business."

Opal waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."

Raymond said: "We are not mindful."

Opal’s lasso was ready, he got up to try, ran out of the plain a few steps before rushing to the sky, leaped aloft in the sun, and shook off the steel rope happily as he turned, shaking a flash of rope.He fell from his head to his feet and then flipped over on the ground, juggling back and forth.

Raymond laughed and sat down beside the greenhouse.

The employer's daughter hugged her knees, arranged the skirt and sat beside him, and chatted with him with a smile, until her father rushed out to find someone, before going home.

"Do you want to marry her?" Opal rolled up the rope and asked back.

"Perhaps." Raymond put a Musu berry in his mouth and looked at him provocatively, the juice splashed: "What do you care about this?"

Opal picked a few berries at random, and suddenly threw them into Raymond's mouth, and the two pushed and played like a big child.

They took the intricate thread in the greenhouse of the greenhouse, like a spider web covering the flower field.

The sixth day passed, everything was plain, the flower fields were repaired, and the earthworms did not reappear.Opal and Raymond were sitting in the corner of the greenhouse. Opal was holding a big sword. Raymond bent his leg, and with a long axe on his shoulder, took a nap in the light of the moon.

"Maybe not coming again," Raymond said.

Opal said: "Wait, be patient."

Raymond: "I can't think of people like you who have the urge to be patient."

Opal: "I have always been very patient with fighting, and I only have patience with others."

Raymond nodded, and Opal said: "Dude, what did you do before?"

Raymond was silent, and Opal said casually: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I'm just curious."

During the speech, Opal did a very cheap thing. While talking on the mouth, it was okay, while releasing his mental strength, secretly reading Raymond's thoughts.

At the same time, in the heart of Opal, he still apologized to the poor Master Rector who had taught him this skill but had never used it in the place he should use.

He read the same scene again-two moons, a deserted abandoned planet factory, covered with corpses.

The faces of the corpses were Raymond's face. A Raymond was standing. Hundreds of his corpses covered his feet.

Nightmare?Opal narrowed his eyes and tried to explore his spiritual world in Raymond's thinking activities.What does this stand for?He remembered what Rector once said, that the self in the soul has died, and after destroying countless selves, usher in a new life...

"You will know later." Raymond said.

The scene that Opal read changed again, and he returned to the trade union of the mercenary country, which was Raymond's perspective-Opal stood in the noisy hall, pulled his shoulders, and said something to him .

Opal began to recall what he said at the time, "I have a spaceship"?

"Op." Raymond said: "Have you heard?"

There was a faint vibration on the ground, which was very weak, but they felt it at the same time. Opal immediately grabbed the lasso and motioned for Raymond to start. The two made a gesture. Raymond took the lasso, jumped, and jumped on. The rope net at the top of the greenhouse bounces between the ropes.

Opal pressed the light switch, and the whole greenhouse lit up.

The ground vibration kept approaching, and Opal ran quickly to the center of the flower field. Every step was thick and heavy. He ran fast with his sword until the giant earthworm got out of the mud!

The roar sounded in a quiet night, the earthworm rushed out of the ground and hit the rope net, Opal shouted: "Be careful!"

The rope net was turbulent, and Raymond almost fell. Opal avoided the large mouth of the head and rolled in a thousand hairs to avoid. Raymond chased on the rope net above his head, a wrong step, hanging upside down, feet Tighten the rope tightly and twist the lasso in the air.

The arc flew away, and the head of the giant earthworm was nestled, and the mouthpiece with fangs was suddenly firmly tied.Earthworms rolled all over, rolling down five or six flower stands sideways, Raymond said: "It's your turn!"

Opal was slammed with seven meats and eight elements, and the alloy rope passed by in front of him. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed him. He was taken to the sky in an instant, and the giant earthworms were scurrying around and finally slammed into the greenhouse. Transparent debris flying across the sky rushed out of the greenhouse!

Opal shouted: "Hurry up! It's harder than you think!"

Opal guarded his left hand in front of him, bowed away from the debris and flower mud coming out of the face, and was taken out of the outside room like an arrow. The person backhanded the alloy cable in the air and shouted: "Where do I want to run!" Then he kicked the head of the giant earthworm.

The roar was hysterical, the giant earthworm twitched and twitched, rushed left and right on the plain, the whole body arched, rolled, and wanted to throw Opal down, like a crazy beast, several times rushed his head to the ground, but his mouth was locked by the lasso Trapped, it is unable to swallow the soil and dig holes, nor can it spew out digestive juice to hurt the enemy.

It was said that sooner or later, Raymond chased out of the greenhouse, and his mechanical long-handled axe glowed golden under the moonlight, drawing an arc and slashing down towards the ground.

Opal mentioned the reins, the giant earthworm turned, and his tail was cut by Raymond and cut in two.

"Good--!" Opal shouted.

The giant earthworm suddenly went crazy, and the digestive juices spewed out from the break. Raymond and Opal shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"

It dragged the fluorescent green acid all the way, and every time Opal raised the reins, a green acid trace was spilled. Raymond avoided the acid and raised his long-handed axe with one hand.

The nearly two-meter-long mechanical weapon flashed with electric awns, and the long handle circled gracefully between his fingers and fell again.

With a single blow, Raymond dragged his axe with his hands to avoid it. The earthworms spasmed painfully in the acid, rammed all the way, and bluntly rushed out of the wasteland. The two axes have been cut off nearly five meters in length.

"Chop... small piece... point!" Opal shouted without being forgotten, bumping the reins, and kicked it again.

The earthworms rushed farther and farther, hitting the wireless tower on the edge of the farm. Opal was hit with a big bag on his head. The cloud was brought around in the fog, and Raymond tried to run. Man lifts a mechanical axe in mid-air, and a fierce axe in the roar!

At that moment, the ground worm was chopped off another half of the length, and the head of the remaining two or three meters was completely exhausted. Opal pulled out the big sword behind him, leapt back, and shot it, nailing the remaining head to the ground.

At that moment, the earth-shaking insect's bare hair made a horrible roar, which lasted for five seconds. It sprayed countless digestive acid and collapsed like a rag pocket.

Opal touched the big bag on his head, supported the tower to gasp, turned upside down, and vomited.

"Good job." Raymond said: "I wish you a long life—"

Opal touched him with a fist in one hand, turned back to look at the greenhouse, and it was messy again.

The next day, the employer was going crazy. Opal collected the neat corpses of four earthworms, 2.5 meters, 2.5 meters, 3 meters, and 2 meters. They were neatly chopped into four sections by Raymond axe and placed in front of the greenhouse.

"This leather can be sent to you." Raymond said.

The employer shouted irritably: "What's the use of this?"

"Don't be like this, man." Opal said regretfully: "Harmony makes a fortune, right? Come, sign your order by fingerprint."

Raymond said: "You just entrusted us to drive away, or kill all the local creatures that invaded the greenhouse, but did not ask us to leave the greenhouse as it is."

The employer stared at them fiercely and said, "Let me show you!"

Opal laughed: "Pretty."

Raymond smiled modestly, closed the mercenary diary, and returned to the Opal to take over the mission.

However, when they returned to the union, neither of them could laugh.

"How many times have I told you not to offend your employer--" the union clerk said: "Otherwise you will be deducted! Deductions! We have already been complained! You are simply the shame of Sunshine City!"

Opal shouted: "Could you please figure it out!!! This commission is inherently problematic..."

The clerk said: "If you have problems, why don't you apply for institutional arbitration first..."

Opal growled: "I was frozen in that ghost place for six days and six nights! I almost died in the stomach of a coelenterate..."

Clerk: "It's none of our business! Points deducted!"
