The Star Knight - 15. Chapter Fifteen

Opal finally used hypnotism once intolerable, only to find that it could really solve the problem. Directly, without suspense, all troubles are over in one go. It’s no wonder that Reckett said that you can’t rely on this ability, or you will be assimilated by the darkness.

I don’t know if the dark star knight once thought like this. This is an addictive ability. Opal decided that he would never use it unless he encountered life and death.

At night, the sky is dark, and lightning is still raging in the night sky.

The stranded immigrants finally calmed down, each looking for a place to rest, waiting for the storm to pass.

The rotation of Liexing is 72 cosmic hours, while the rotation of B-11 is 25 cosmic hours. The gravity of the new planet is overweight, the environment is noisy, and every day is very long. Opal is not used to it and is already a little sleepy. When the Interstellar Alliance divided each day into twenty-four universes, this was before the light era, ancient humans Basically, I need to sleep and rest every eighteen to twenty hours or so.

He bought a newspaper with a map, turned on the E7 projection device, and sat in the corner seat to read Liexing’s news and map briefings. Liexing focuses on the mercenary industry, and the mercenaries are a group of people who solve cosmic incidents. They are responsible for escorting business, accepting assigned interstellar adventures, reclaiming desolate planets, searching for missing persons in space, and recovering the cargo of the wrecked spacecraft.

Some large mercenary groups will even participate in wars between galaxies and planets-after all, the planets in many star systems have not yet formed a community.

The two major forces of the Republic and the Empire compete with each other, and there are independent regimes on these asteroids, and occasionally they hire thugs here to solve problems, or spy on the enemy, or carry out assassinations.

There are also going to certain dangerous planets to collect minerals, plants and even biological specimens and so on.

This profession does everything. Every day, thousands of commissions are sent from all over the universe to the fierce stars. They are evaluated by the mercenary union and released to the mercenaries who are suitable to take over. The union will draw a percentage after completing the task. They either fight alone, or operate in groups of more than one person. Except for the twice-weekly magnetic lightning storm all-star vacation, the tarmac will flow constantly, and countless spacecraft set sail and land.

There are nearly one million registered personnel in the Mercenary Union, and this number is still increasing slowly. The whole Liexing is divided into ordinary residential areas and the central area on the equator.

The central area is in charge of all the tasks of the entire galaxy and is entrusted to be dispatched from here. It is a belt-shaped city, like the belt of a fiery star, with both sides of the equator used for residential and other purposes.

With so much information flooding in at once, Opal is also a bit overwhelming.

The little robot came over with a tray with a tin foil bag and a drink on it. Opal planned to save money first and said, “No, thank you, I won’t eat it.”

“Then there is no money.” A woman next to me kindly reminded: “Lie Star Airlines compensates for the food of the guests stranded on the tarmac.”

Opal immediately said: “Come back! Wait!”

The little robot turned back, Opal took food, and the small box was filled with hot, clay-like white gel. The opal took a bite and found that it has many layers, each with a different taste.

“It tastes good.” Opal said.

The people sitting around laughed again, some sarcasmly, who treated him as a hillbilly, and some who thought him funny.

Opal asked the mature and beautiful woman: “Are you a mercenary?”

“Lily.” She replied: “Twelve Nebula Mercenary Corps.”

Opal nodded and said, “I want to be a mercenary.”

Someone turned around and said, “Hey, man, I suggest you go back and forth from where to go. For example, go back to take over your parents’ company, or marry your girlfriend, or go back to Interstellar United School to study. That’s what you should do. Things, otherwise you have less than 30 days left to live.”

“Don’t bully him.” Someone in the front row turned around and said, “There are fewer and fewer people willing to come to Liexing.”

“Don’t listen to him.” Lily said with a smile: “You are welcome to come to the God of War galaxy, but you have the most troublesome time.”

Opal nodded and said, “I’ve found out that it’s not so… friendly here.”

Lily said: “When you blend into Liexing, you will love it.”

Opal said: “Hope, how long will the thunderstorm take?”

Lily said: “Two days, according to the time here.”

One hundred and forty-four hours… Opal was completely speechless and asked, “Is there no other way to leave?”

The man on the left of Opal said: “The last train of Star Airlines is delayed. I hope the union can think of other ways.”

Opal understands, I’m afraid there are tens of thousands of people here, so the quarrel was so intense just now. He stretched out his hand, shook hands with the man, and introduced himself: “Opal.”

The man was handsome, dressed in a blue spaceship technician jacket, shook hands with him, and said casually: “My name is a wrench.”

Very strange name, Opal thought, Wrench said: “Lily is my love.”

Opal nodded, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and said: “I will change positions with you.”

The people around laughed again. Opal looked around and found a sign on their neckline. I immediately understood that the people nearby were all from a mercenary group. There are about ten people-twelve people, the twelve Nebula mercenary group.

The spanner hugged Lily, and Lily leaned on his shoulder to sleep. Opal read the newspaper for a while and found that there is no government on this planet, only labor unions, and their stay on the tarmac has been in the news.

The newspaper also mentioned a mercenary king named Azeroth. The kingdom… does have a king.

“He is only responsible for perfecting the rules of the predecessors, and does not interfere too much in the internal affairs.” The wrench put his arms around his girlfriend, and said casually: “Or not exactly, it is just a soul figure of Liexing, the strongest, double S grade. Mercenary.”

Opal knew that Wrench was also reading his newspaper, and he would only say so when he saw him staying on the page where Azeroth posted his speech.

Opal then chatted with him: “Who is in charge of the management of this planet?”

Wrench said: “Political affairs are formulated and ruled by the presidium of the mercenary union. They are a group of inefficient guys. Recently, I heard that imperial lackeys have come in.”

“War is coming soon,” said a bald head in front.

Someone echoed: “I hope you don’t come in. It’s good to have money to participate in the war, but it’s not a good time to start a war in Liexing.”

Opal nodded thoughtfully, and seeing Azeroth’s speech mentioning that he would not join the Dark Star Alliance, he asked: “What is the Dark Star Alliance?”

“Obviously you don’t care much about current affairs.” Wrench said tediously: “Korolin’s power is getting bigger and bigger, and I have tried to persuade Azeroth several times to let the God of War galaxy join the Dark Star Alliance.”

Opal was shocked when he heard the name, frowned and looked at the wrench, and asked, “What kind of person is Cololin? Is he strong?”

“Who knows?” the man in the front row interjected, “I don’t know where it came from. It is said that he is a celestial knight, but I think his name sounds like the long arms and legs of the planet Aikman. Yes, two weird heads.”

Everyone laughed, and Opal joked: “There can be no racial discrimination against other races.”

“Ah, you must be from the Republic. The citizens of the Republic are very free, very democratic, and very compassionate. They also know about racial discrimination or something-introduce myself, my name is Kun.” The man in front did not look back and stretched out his backhand. Shaking hands with him, he was a foolish ruffian.

Opal said: “I come from the Chiyan galaxy, which is ruled by the Republican government.”

“You dress like a hillbilly.” Kun said, “It’s not like talking, it’s very decent.”

Opal smiled modestly, flipped the newspaper down, and asked, “How will Azeroth deal with that guy named Coralin?”

“Who knows?” Wrench said casually: “What he says, let’s do it, start a war or join, it’s up to his idea.”

“But you said.” Opal doubted: “He is not a ruler.”

Wrench said: “He does not interfere in internal affairs, but he has a decisive say in diplomacy, because he is our king, he is just too lazy…Of course, he said to the outside world that he was too busy. Azeroth changed two things. Second time mercenary rules, and sit and watch it work… If you become a mercenary in the future, you will understand.”

Opal asked: “He is very strong?”

Wrench nodded thoughtfully and said, “Very strong.”

“Head, do you want to challenge him? Use your wrench?” Kun laughed and teased him.

Wrench said: “I’m not interested, I’m just a technician, and you are going to go.”

The group member next door to Kun said: “I listened to the news from the people of Eternal Nebula, saying that even the real star knight is not Cororin’s opponent.”

Opal’s heart stunned again, do they know Reckett too?

However, Kun said casually: “Forget it, there are no real or fake star knights, they are all imagined. Some galaxies feel that the Star Alliance treats them unfairly, and they always imagine some guys upholding justice. ”

Opal wanted to hear the comments and legends about the Star Knights, but they didn’t say anything. Instead, they talked about the mission. Opal then asked: “You just came back from the mission? Have you completed it? what.”

Wrench eyebrows moved and said, “Go to Qingwei in the Pegasus Nebula and resolve a local conflict.”

“Those can’t be called human beings.” A bald head in the front row reminded: “Team leader, if you say that, it’s easy to be caught by loopholes and cause trouble.”

Wrench said: “Oh, I’m just talking about it casually. The LifeGene Company is going to open a plantation there. The local creatures always like to make trouble, so let’s clear them.”

Opal nodded slowly, and asked: “Apart from these, what else does the mercenary do?”

“Sometimes it’s to find someone…such as investigating a spacecraft that hasn’t heard from, sometimes it’s to investigate ancient ruins, and sometimes it’s not for any purpose, to take a trip to some planet that no one dares to go to, and investigate it. Not suitable for colonial living…” Wrench said: “You will learn this, provided that you are alive.”

Opal asked again: “How can I find a mercenary group that I am willing to join? I have a spaceship, a little combat skills, and a star map…”

“Listen.” The wrench interrupted Opal, and he looked up as if he had noticed something. Opal followed his gaze and found him looking at someone on the far side of the hall.

He was a tall man, taller than an Opal, about 190 cm tall, wearing a black trench coat, standing in the corner drinking a drink, behind him was carrying a long weapon, it was a long handle. ax.

Opal had seen it, and Reckett had considered letting him use this kind of axe, but after trying many weapons, he finally chose the best sword for him.

Opal thought Wrench was going to say something to the man in the black trench coat, but Wrench withdrew his gaze, as if he was just looking at it casually. His face was still awake, and he said, “Listen clearly, kid.”

At this moment, riots broke out in the hall.

The crowd at the front got up and rushed towards the exit, and the people at the back followed suit.

Lily yawned and opened her eyes lazily. The members of the Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group got up one after another. Someone in front of them said: “The car is coming! Get in the car!”

Wrench said to Opal: “Spaceships, skills, these are secondary. The key lies in the spirit-to become a mercenary, not afraid of the unknown, overcome all difficulties, adventurous spirit and courage to advance through the difficulties, with them, Don’t be afraid to find a team that suits you.”

“Baby said so well.” Lily laughed.

Wrench laughed lazily, holding Lily’s hand, Opal nodded thoughtfully, and the crowd rushed toward the exit to take a ride away from the tarmac.

More and more people, Opal was squeezed at the end, and the twelve star clusters were squeezed away. The wrench was the first person he met after he came to Liexing. As a technician, he was actually the head of a mercenary group. Opal said loudly: “Nice to meet you! Wrench!”

The wrench’s hand reached out from the crowd and waved without looking back.

Opal is at the end of the flow of people, and visitors from a foreign country cannot follow them. What is the next step? First go to the city to find a place to live.

Opal put E7 in his backpack, looked up at the map near the exit, and scrolled along with the gene company advertisement:

[Still worried about not finding your beautiful spouse? Gene extraction and ancestor generation synthesis, so that you don’t need to endure the daily quarrel in love, avoid huge marriage expenses, and directly reproduce your next generation perfectly. 】

On the huge city map light screen outside the tarmac, all the city names are dazzling. The major cities are all distributed on the equator. The corresponding longitude lines rise along the latitude, and they are residential areas of different styles.

There is no sea in Liexing, and all the places where the liquid water gathers are lakes. Each lake is close to the size of a city. Opal walks and looks at it, but the people behind can’t help pushing him out of the apron hall.

The wrench was nowhere to be found. As soon as he came out, the storm was overwhelming, and the thunder blasted to deaf ears. The lightning seemed to be less than a hundred meters above their heads.

Opal was soaked in the rain, and he hurriedly escaped from the crowd to hide from the rain. There were chaotic people around him. At this moment, he suddenly noticed a man standing outside the exit—the man in the black trench coat he had seen earlier.

He carried a mechanical long-handled axe on his back, a combined suitcase at his feet, and his gloomy side face was looming in the white light of lightning. It’s not pretty, but it’s very smelly. The bridge of the nose is high, the eyebrows are rainy, and there is a metal tube that I haven’t seen before. A faint smoke comes out of the tube.

“Hey! Don’t smoke there—!” the police yelled, “Go over there in line to get on the bus! Hurry up! Only this bus!”

The man put away the metal pipe, Opal turned back to line up and couldn’t help but analyze the man with the observation method taught by Reckett. He is not a tourist, and he should not be a mercenary either. Wrench noticed him just now.

This person may have arrived on a public voyage spacecraft, without his own spacecraft, otherwise he would not carry a suitcase. He is also looking for a job?

Opal also found that many people were looking at the man. He glanced around, and it seemed that these mercenaries had certain skills. So when he came out of the tarmac just now, many people must have noticed himself. Opal laughed at himself in his heart, so conspicuous, it is difficult not to be noticed.

“Recruit egg?” Someone smiled at Opal kindly: “Welcome to be a mercenary! Hold on!”

Opal smiled and said, “Thank you.”

The stranger greeted him and got into the car following the torrent of the crowd. The police yelled one by one during the thunderstorm: “Where are you going! Who doesn’t know how to take a car! You! Where are you going!”

Opal said loudly: “I don’t know!”

The policeman asked: “Sightseeing or finding a job! Where are you going!”

Another thunder blasted.

Opal said: “Go to the city! There are union offices!”

Policeman: “This is all cars going to the city! Every city has a union office! Which city are you going to?”

Opal: “Where did you arrive?!”

Police: “Du, here, and get off at the entrance of the union–!” He pushed him hard and said, “Don’t delay anymore!!! Let’s go!!!”

This is a large shuttle-type sightseeing tour bus with hundreds of seats. More and more people are getting on the bus. Each of them fastened their seat belts. The man in the black trench coat actually got in the same car as Opal. , He took the big axe off his back and leaned against the window.

There were many people in the car watching him. The tour bus was full, bent against the ground, passed thunderbolt and thunder, and flew to the end of the road covered by dark clouds with a white wave.
