The Star Knight - 108. Chapter One Hundred Eight

The White Falcon Star is like a grand playground. The celebration of any place I have seen before and the arrangement of the Rotman family are nothing short of nothing. The Golden River flows outside the city of Heroes. Tourists from all over the empire almost fill the entire planet. This celebration is like a carnival. One side is filled with bright sunshine, and the other side is full of night lights and lanterns. Fireworks that never end.

The searchlights revolve between cities, and the music of bagpipes and falcons sounded everywhere, and the flowers of carols sang in unison, converging into a female voice reverberating throughout the star. Sixteen large-scale space stations will release daytime celebration fireworks every five minutes. They bloom colorfully high in the sky, dragging the trajectory of colored smoke to rotate in the sky.

On one side of the night, there are waves of meteor showers, and shining meteors appear all over the sky every five minutes, turning into hundreds of billions of bright silver lines to fly to the earth.

Opal only feels very messy, extremely messy.

Especially when he was not awake, he came down in a daze, and the ocean of music and flowers instantly overwhelmed him. The welcoming girls and beautiful men on the tarmac presented flowers and the local special white falcon feather quilt hats. Put it on their heads, and kiss him more passionately—kissing the lips of him and Raymond.

Opal felt his wet lips come up, and his hair exploded in a sudden.

“Don’t be like this!” Opal said angrily: “You are bullying a minor!”

Raymond couldn’t resist this enthusiasm a little too, and repeatedly evaded: “Alright, alright! We have business affairs…”

Opal said: “Don’t even kiss him!”

Raymond took Opal in a hug, and the two of them fled as if flying.

Out of the tarmac, there were music, dances, and flying colorful confetti everywhere. The opal was tossed so that his headache was a little bit painful, and the music of the celebration choked in his head. The two entered the city of white falcons, where drunk tourists were everywhere, and there were colorful make-up parades all over the street.

Raymond went to the celebration office to report, and Opal looked at a cart stand blankly.

“Come on?” The boss laughed: “Delicious hand-baked egg pancakes, condensed milk, honey and monks to save butter, so you can taste the soft sunshine!”

Opal said: “How much is it?”

The boss said: “There are three flavors, sixty credits for chocolate, fifty-five for lemon, and seventy for vanilla…”

Opal: “I only have thirty-seven credits. Can I buy half a lemon-flavored omelet and try it?”

The boss’s enthusiasm immediately went cold, and he said, “No.”

Although Opal still wanted to eat it, after watching him for a while, I decided not to hypnotize him.

He walked to the corner of the street boredly and squatted down, and noticed that the Atomic Pool Club was on the opposite street, with beautiful lights flashing on the sign, and there were excitement screams and the electronic sound of the machine scoring.

Opal seemed to feel that someone was looking at him. It was an intuition purely derived from faith. It felt like he hadn’t encountered it for a long time. He turned his head and looked around, but only saw the carnival crowd passing by, and it felt very Short, disappeared in an instant.

After the third wave of carnival crowds passed, Raymond finally squeezed out from the celebration office and sighed.

“Alright?” Opal said.

Raymond sniffed, smelled the scent of the waffle cart, and said, “It’s delicious, do you want to eat it?”

Opal said: “Not enough money.”

Raymond took another look and said: “I want to find a way…”

His eyes were full of apologetics, but Opal didn’t matter. He asked, “If you have no money, you have no money. What can you do? Can you grab it? Where are you going now?”

Raymond said: “They arranged an Oak Hotel for us. We have to wait for the notice this afternoon. They will go to the White Flower Manor to attend the reception and chat with the guests in the lounge.”

Opal said: “Can’t you get paid in advance?”

Raymond didn’t answer, Opal had to say: “Let’s go.”

Raymond draped Opal on his shoulders. The two were planning to spend the last thirty-seven dollars to buy something to play with. However, the price of the White Falcon Star is too high, and it can compete with the Republic. A top hat is in Lie Xing. It sells for 50 on the top, and about 500 on the White Falcon Star. There are almost no prices lower than 100 for food, souvenirs, and entertainment facilities.

Opal looked like it could only buy a 30-credit balloon with their money.

Raymond was still very optimistic and said, “When I complete the commission and get the money, let’s go to the sea for a meal.”

Opal smiled and said: “This proposal is not bad, how much is the commission?”

Raymond didn’t speak again. Opal didn’t know why he just wanted to laugh. He was holding the street light pole laughing and panting. Raymond looked helpless, thinking that he had to save money after getting paid, because he had to buy spacecraft fuel.

Moreover, Iszul’s credit rating in the IRC is too low, which is directly linked to their credit point purchasing power. The commission given is 5,000 credit points. However, after the evaluation is completed, it is only left in the hands of Raymond. Under two thousand four hundred.

More than two thousand points, only enough to buy half a ton of fuel.

“You can’t blame me,” Raymond said, “Or you can’t blame me all, you know, Opal?”

“Huh?” Opal asked with raised eyebrows.

Raymond said: “Our credit rating is too low also has something to do with it, because Cololin’s knowledge tells me that the credit rating of the Republic is the highest, a real one-to-one ratio, while the Empire has only 0.75, but it can’t stand it. The empire is rich in resources and expensive. The techniques of heavy taxes, private ownership of land, and inflation transfer are far greater than the speed of each IRC re-assessment.”

Opal nodded, seeming to understand something.

Raymond thought for a while and then said: “The financial tug-of-war between the two major regimes can only allow small neighboring countries to pay the bill. In order not to pay for the empire’s high consumption, Lie Xing can only issue Lie Xing coins to compete with interstellar credit points. In order to adjust the price of the local star, employers can buy the credit points into Liexing coins, and then issue the commission, and the remuneration will be exchanged again according to the exchange rate of the credit point on the day.”

“But the Emperor Kartes has been coveting the Lie Star for a long time. Like the previous time, he made an alliance with Azeroth, just to let him cancel the Lie Star coin, and the currency and the Star Alliance are fully integrated…”

They walked slowly along the road, but always held their hands together, Opal said: “What does that mean?”

Raymond said: “It means that the credit points are reduced, and the wrenches are allied with the empire, so now the mercenaries will get fewer and fewer credit points, just like…everyone is working for the empire and the Republic.”

Opal said: “Never mind the fierce star, but why is the credit rating of Rotating Grip so low?”

Raymond shrugged and said: “Kololin has just opened up the state of lockdown. It is normal to be low. I guess he will mostly use force to resolve this matter.”

Opal smiled and said: “Yes, he is the same as you, and everything is solved by calling.”

Raymond said: “I still hope that he will win, so that he will have money, and if I have money in the future, I will buy a small planet and do this kind of activity every day.”

Opal said: “Eat omelet every day.”

The two laughed together again, helpless and sad.

Raymond entered the Oak Tree Hotel and booked a room for the robot at the front desk. The entrustment he got was for board and lodging, but Opal was a single entrustment that was unacceptable, and the two had to open a room.

The service robot reported that the rest room was full, only the public rest room, and Raymond wanted to book another bed, but there were too many people. Opal could only live far away from Raymond.

These trivial things made Opal very annoying. Several times he wanted to tell Raymond that he didn’t use a bed, but how could he live without a bed? In the end, Raymond chose a relatively recent one, and the robot asked them to pay a deposit of five hundred and fifty credits.

So it stopped.

Both Raymond and Opal laughed at the front desk. After laughing for a long time, Opal said: “Squeeze, maybe you can live in the bed.”

Leimen endured a smile and said, “Let’s take a look first… This proposal is good…”

There are too many tourists on the White Falcon Star, and even the beds are very tight. The sleeping cabin is covered with a transparent cover. Raymond is already tall. After lying down, there is not much space left. Opal squeezed in again. The two of them were playing like children.

The hotel robot came over to drive people, flashing the lights and issued a warning: “Please don’t damage the hotel facilities. Each bed can only sleep one person. Please go to the public lounge to meet guests.”

Opal has never encountered anything more embarrassing than this in his life. Raymond thought for a while and said: “I don’t need to sleep, I will sit outside the hotel…”

Opal said: “It’s better to go back to the spaceship and go to sleep, Xiao Q and E7 are still waiting.”

Raymond said: “No, at least one person must be in the hotel waiting for the notice.”

Opal is helpless again. In fact, he can go back to the spacecraft to rest, but it doesn’t make much sense.

Raymond remembered that this job included board and lodging, so he went to pick up the meal, but the lunch he brought back was only a single set meal, and he could only eat it for Opal without asking.

Opal was eating in the public lounge, while Raymond looked blankly on one side.

“I should eat less.” Opal said: “You can eat at the banquet anyway.”

Raymond remembered, and said, “Yes, let’s take a bag in, and bring things back to the spaceship to eat…”

The two of them thought of the banquet that Raymond was going to, and they were full of anticipation in an instant. Opal didn’t know if he could follow Raymond in, but he made up his mind this time, even if he was stopped by the guards, he had to use the power of faith to hypnotize Control them and go in for a big meal. Otherwise, this day is really impossible.

“No. 172246-bed-guest, hello -” the service robot said: “You have a takeaway at the front desk, please sign for it.”

Opal: “?”

Raymond: “???”

The two got up and went to the front desk and found that it was a large box of three-color egg bakery. The sweet scent could be smelled through the lunch box, and the opal’s saliva fell instantly.

Raymond said: “We didn’t order this…”

Opal’s focus is not on this, and immediately said: “Do you want money?”

“The takeaway has gone.” A girl took over the position of the robot. When she saw Raymond, her eyes lit up and smiled: “He said he paid.”

Opal decisively put away the lunch box and turned away.

Raymond wanted to sign for it, but the front desk said: “No need to sign for.”

Raymond was even more weird. He came back and said, “Who gave it to you?”

Opal opened the lunch box, his eyes glowed immediately, and said: “How did I know? I gave it wrong, I don’t even have a name, can you taste something? Is it someone you know? The employer gave it?”

Raymond thought for a while, and said: “The employer…maybe, maybe he just came out behind me and saw…”

Opal fed some to Raymond, Raymond said: “You eat it, I won’t eat…”

The newsletter came again when he was talking. This time he asked Raymond to go to the banquet. When Raymond came back, he just finished eating the opal, wiped his mouth contentedly, got up and followed away.

There was no special car to pick them up. They traveled for a long time to find the Green Wind Manor at the westernmost side of the City of White Falcon. Fortunately, the 37 credits were not used up before, otherwise they would not even have enough money for a ride. Opal is crowded. In a bunch of strange tourist aliens, said: “I can only walk back at night.”

Raymond said: “Maybe you can ask Erlin for a fare…I believe he will lend us some money.”

The special car stopped at a garden-like three-way intersection. It was almost dusk, and the sky full of white falcon flowers gently swayed in the wind. All the noise in the city was far away. Opal took a deep breath and felt relaxed and happy. , It’s so comfortable.

The people of the empire can enjoy it too much. They can see beautiful holographic projections before they even get close to the White Flower Manor. Numerous illusory scenes are flying in the sky, sometimes the gentle tides all over the sky, and sometimes the flying green leaves.

“How come until now?!” a middle-aged man said displeased.

Leimen hurriedly said: “I’m sorry, this is the first time I came to Bai Falcon Star. I don’t know the way. Let me introduce you. This is my nephew Opal.”

Opal knew that this man in front of him must be the employer Erlin. He was about to shake his hand and greeted a few words, but Erlin said: “Why are you still bringing a child? You are here to play? Hurry up and go from here. , Go make-up first.”

Opal wanted to thank him for his quiche, but the middle-aged man didn’t even look at him, making Opal’s slight politeness disappear completely. Raymond motioned him not to get angry and said, “Sorry, sorry. , Go right away? Do you want to put on makeup?”

The middle-aged humane said: “Of course, walk west from the Moonlight Trail. Don’t be seen by the ladies. This is very abrupt… You can’t go in! Wait outside for your uncle’s work to finish!”

Opal: “…”

Raymond: “…”

Opal said: “I’m going to be an adult soon……”

Erlin said: “This has nothing to do with being an adult or a minor…”

Raymond said: “Mr. Erlin, I promise he will not cause trouble, just let him in and stay in the garden, he will stay alone…”

Middle-aged humanity: “Impossible! Those who attend the banquet must have invitations. If someone finds out that I let you in, I will lose my job!”

Raymond motioned to Opal with his eyes. Opal didn’t understand this time, and he was a little angry. When he raised his hand to hypnotize Erlin, he saw another person coming from the side and laughed: “Erin, you Where’s the escort invited?”

Opal immediately withdrew his hand. The person who came seemed to be a colleague with Erlin, which made Erlin’s expression a little unnatural.

“I’ll be here soon.” He said, “A few minutes.”

Raymond took the Opal aside and whispered: “After I go in, I will find a way to find someone with an identity to get acquainted with, and then let him ask the master to let you in…”

Opal said: “I’ll do it myself.”

Raymond said nothing, Opal said: “I have my way, I promise that there won’t be any major problems. Let me find someone outside the manor to strike up a conversation, and you may be able to go in after him… Solve problems with your mind and risk. It says in the home manual, doesn’t it?”

Raymond said: “Well, use wisdom, you first wait for my message.”

Erlin took Raymond away.

Opal still stood at the entrance of the manor and looked around. The other young man came over to take over Erlin’s position and supervised several guarding robots. Opal turned around and found that there were electronic guarding devices outside the manor, which could not be used for climbing. He went back to the gate and wondered how to approach a guest.

The young man seemed to see his intentions and said mockingly: “What do you want to do?”

Opal said: “Oh, don’t do anything, look curiously, the owner of this house is really rich.”

The young man said, “Of course, this is the residence of Lord Descartes Bill. I guess you must not know who Lord Descartes is.”

Opal noticed that he looked at him with pity and sympathy in his eyes, and at the same time there was a vague sense of excitement of seeing the poor.

“Who is Mr. Erlin here?” Opal said, “He seems to be afraid of you?”

The young man said: “He is the low-level housekeeper here.”

Opal nodded and said, “I guess you are a more senior butler than him.”

“You guessed it.” The young man said blankly.

At this moment, a person walked out of the manor and said to the young man: “Sibirs, let this gentleman in.”

Raymond solved it so soon? Opal is not ready to do something, it is so easy?

The butler who called Sybils frowned slightly, then said politely: “Yes, sir.”

This attitude has also become too fast. It seems that Raymond has fawned on an incredible guy. Opal entered the manor and said to the man who came forward: “How do you call it?”

The man said: “I’m just an attendant. His Royal Highness Baroque invited you in. Please follow me. We will meet him in the garden by the river.”

Opal followed and saw a strong man talking and laughing with several women, his voice was loud, like a fool.

“Ah, I’ve heard of it! I’ve heard of it!” he said loudly.

The attendant took Opal to the edge of the garden and did not go in again. He made a “please” gesture. Opal knew that this must be Baroque. He first walked over and patiently listened to the strong man molesting a group of women. After a brief quiet, he just opened his mouth and said: “Hello.”

The brawny man turned his head a little strangely, and Opal said, “Thank you very much…thank you for letting me in.”

Baroque said: “What did you say? I don’t know you.”

A luxuriously dressed girl smiled: “Baroque, you just…”

“Ah!” Baroque remembered, and said, “This is the kid? You are free.”

Opal said: “I miss me…”

“Your Highness’s friend asked him to let you in, sir.” Another girl said kindly.

Baroque said: “Yes, what about others? Where did they go? I’ll help you find…”

Opal thought that Raymond should have gone to work, and said: “Don’t bother you, I will find him by myself.”

“Well, you are at will, at will.” Baroque’s face flushed, and he ignored the opal, and said to the women: “That guy Alex is like a beauty-loving little white face, he won’t stop if he doesn’t make genetic surgery perfect. , The father doesn’t like this the least, the gene of Kartes’ style is very important hahaha…”

“Yeah ha ha ha ha…” A group of women trembled with laughter.

Opal stopped talking, and in a short moment, what was heard from it-could it be that this man is a prince?

At first, he only thought that His Highness was a simple name, but hearing Baroque’s words, it seemed that his elder brother or younger brother was involved? And the royal status of Cultus?

Opal started to understand a little bit. He pretended to get food, and his ears were always wary of collecting information.

However, Baroque is not stupid. He hiccuped and said, “Uh, why are you still here? Go out and eat. The green pine forest is more suitable for you kids, go!”

Opal nodded, and the waiter waiting outside was a personal spirit. Hearing this, he came in and made a gesture, politely asking Opal to leave.

The place where Baroque and the women are is a private space, Opal understands.

He decided to find Raymond first. Hearing Erlin told Raymond to go west from the Moonlight Path, Opal asked for directions, listening to the conversations of the guests from time to time, and went to look for Raymond.

The west side of the Moonlight Path leads to a luxurious palace. The outside is magnificent and the inside is completely transparent glass lanterns. The lights are shining. Opal saw Erlin standing and talking with a maid, so he slipped past him. , Went up the spiral staircase and walked along the carpet, and hit the face of the colorfully painted Raymond.

“Opal?” Raymond said: “How did you get in?”

Opal said inexplicably: “Didn’t you let me in?”

Raymond said: “I haven’t started commissioning yet.”

Opal was dumbfounded: “What kind of makeup are you putting on?! It’s so stupid!”

Raymond put on a wide jumpsuit, his face was painted half red and half blue, his head was put on a night cap, and his nose was painted red, like a fruit ball.

“They let me play the role of a clown.” Raymond said: “Talk to the guests about interstellar and destiny.”

Opal said: “This is simply…too insulting.”

Raymond shook his fingers, his eyebrows moved, indicating that it didn’t matter, and said: “I probably can’t eat with you anymore.”

Opal said: “It doesn’t matter, you are busy with you, don’t always think about eating.”

Raymond: “You always want to eat. By the way, I ran into someone…”

“Has it started?” Another clown came out of the room.

Raymond said: “You can start.”

The two clowns walked sideways from the stairs carrying a stack of wide playing cards, and Opal always felt that the other clown’s voice was a bit familiar. He hesitated briefly for a second, and when he was thinking about whether to use the power of faith to cut in, he and Raymond left first.

Who is that person? Opal found that another clown did not have Raymond high. Raymond was wearing a red and blue one-piece suit, while the other clown only reached his shoulders, and his attire was black and white, just like the costumes of the big ace and the little ace. Since Opal was genetically modified by Cololin, his memory has been blurred a lot, and he vaguely felt that the voice seemed familiar, and he should be a mercenary.

Mercenary out of mission? Playing as a clown? This is possible. After all, they were also entrusted by the adventurer. After the banquet, please ask Raymond. Most of those people don’t know Raymond anymore. The wrench has been modified.

Opal followed down the escalator and was blocked by guards when he wanted to enter the central area of the grand lobby.

“This is the VIP lounge, which family do you belong to?” the guard in khaki military uniform asked politely.

Opal knew he couldn’t get in again, it was really troublesome… He replied: “I want to go to the green pine forest.”

The guard said, “Go east along the Moonlight Path.”

Opal nodded and had to come out again. He didn’t dare to look back, otherwise it would be too suspicious. Everything was a bit suspicious this evening. He hadn’t even figured out who let him in until now.

Go back and ask Prince Baroque?

Opal needs to sort out information. He walked to a fork in the road. He wanted to go to the green pine forest to find something to eat, but he didn’t know why, he suddenly wanted to go in the other direction.

It feels like something good is waiting for him at the end of the road, as if he can get happiness and happiness by walking over it. This is just his sudden thought, and the moment of existence is less than half a second, not even he himself. Aware of the emergence and disappearance of this idea, but in short, he chose this secret path.

The secret path leads to the woods in the depths of the Moonlight Path. When he stopped, Opal saw a lake in the forest with a meteor shower shining from the sky. He immediately raised his head, forgetting what to do, and his eyes were full of wonder. There was another person standing by the lake.

There is also a table with snacks and thorn wine under the tree.

Opal found that the man had been looking down at the lake, so he took the wine and small snacks on the long table and said, “Hey, friend, would you like to have some?”

“Wine is easy to be impulsive, and it is easy to be decadent.” The man by the lake turned around and said, “But I think it’s okay to have some occasionally.”

Opal was stunned, he finally knew who had let him in.

“I… I didn’t expect you to be here, old, teacher.” Opal said: “Teacher… how do you… teacher!”

Reckett’s eyes were full of complicated meaning, and he said, “I wanted to avoid you, Opal, but I didn’t expect you to find me.”

Opal rushed forward and hugged Reckett tightly.
