The Star Knight - 27. Chapter Twenty Seven

“I wish you a long life–” Opal hummed, making fighting gestures with both hands.

Raymond sat wiping his weapon and asked, “What’s going crazy again?”

“No.” Opal said stupidly: “Summarizing after the war, I think back to the game just now… You played well. Seeing you and that guy in the air, I was very nervous.”

“You cooperate very well,” Raymond said without raising his head.

Opal said: “You can actually use a big sword?”

Raymond said: “A little bit.”

Opal asked: “Who taught you to fight? I remember you never participated in the mercenary recruit training.”

Raymond replied: “I said it was born, would you believe it?”

Opal turned his head and thought for a while, looked at Raymond, Raymond didn’t say a word, put his long-handled axe aside, and went to sleep in the bedroom. The maid and Mrs. Anta stayed on the spaceship for less than forty hours, and by the way they also made their bedroom very clean.

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

Opal walked to the door of the mercenary union and stopped. Once again, the mission was over, and the mission had to be found again next time. Raymond doesn’t talk much, but he always feels that there are many secrets that are not known. He never mentions his life experience, let alone puts any demands on Opal.

There are a lot fewer people, and all the mercenaries who were commissioned on Monday went out.

Raymond went to the task hall window on the first floor to deliver the task, and the other party said: “Azeroth has no time to see you. The Nanmen Twins and Ms. Lefina have sent him communications during this period of time. You have to send Lei Feina’s chip is handed in. Here is an additional commission allowance-Ms. Refina added 50,000 credits. She is very grateful to you for saving her from the kidnapper. No amount of money can compare to hers. Life, so this little money is just to show your heart…”

“Is she awake?” Opal squeezed to the window and asked.

“Ah, yes.” The staff member said casually: “Click your fingerprint here, and the money will automatically be credited to your account. Azeroth will meet you whenever he is free. He is said to be very busy recently… …Very busy. You got one hundred and five points for this commission. Congratulations, you have been promoted again.”

Raymond looked up at the circular bulletin board on the wall and asked, “How long will it be until the next round of refresh?”

The staff member said: “There are still thirty-six hours, and your collaboration is terminated. I wish you two long lives, the next one!”

The sun was shining outside, and Raymond returned Opal’s mercenary diary to him, and Opal flipped through it-F grade. The promotion requirement is 180 points. Opal said: “How about you?”

Raymond said: “I’m still early, more than three thousand points.”

Opal looked at his mercenary diary, and looked at Raymond’s. The two were silent in the sun.

“So…” Raymond said.

Opal said: “Let’s go together, partner, I’m serious, I am willing to give you the back, you see, you are also willing to fight with me.”

Raymond said: “No. Opal, you are a good comrade-in-arms, loyal, righteous, kind, humble, always always, this is my own reason.”

Opal had nothing to say, Raymond was silent for a moment, and then said: “Partners are separated, I will cooperate again when I have a chance. Goodbye.”

Opal suddenly got angry, and shouted at Raymond: “You won’t rent a boat!”

Raymond said as he walked: “Not every mission requires a spaceship!”

Opal: “Next time I won’t lend you the boat again! There is no way to get a partner! Just wait and see!”

Raymond turned around and walked backwards, poke his finger: “Whatever! You go and see!”

Opal cursed abusively, and spent a while at the gate of the guild, checking his diary.

Earlier, a mercenary group leader said that as long as he was promoted to E-level, he would be recruited into the group, and there were still 180 points to be promoted. Although I forgot who the head of the regiment was, I wandered around in the personnel hall on the second floor after I was promoted.

After these days, I probably know what the commission is about. At least the familiar purpose has been achieved. Wait until the bulletin board is refreshed.

So where do you go next? Liexing has seventy-two hours a day, fourteen days a week, refreshing orders every two days, and issuing six times a week…Thirteenth and fourteen magnetic storm vacations every week.

There are still thirty-six hours before the new round of missions is refreshed. It’s dark, the long night is nowhere to go, the lights are on in the bar, Opal went to dinner, stay in the shop? No, everything is in the spaceship. Go back and play games and wait for the new mission cycle to begin.

He carried a big sword and walked staggeringly under the street light, like a lonely traveler. The street light of Sunlight City is light blue, and the iris will emit a slight red fluorescence at night, mixing in one place. The city is like a purple fairyland.

“I wish you a long life–” Opal helped the drunk on the side of the road and smiled: “Drinking is harmful to your health.”

“Child! Do it hard! Don’t be afraid of hardship!” The drunk solemnly patted the opal shoulder.

Opal also patted him on the shoulder. Many people in this city were retired from veterans, and most of them had quite a wealth of combat experience-such as the innkeeper. After they made enough money, they stopped going to life and death, set up a small business, and had a happy birthday.

Opal enjoys the fresh night breeze, and starts to think of his own, will he do the same? No, his goal is to make a fortune, buy a spaceship with a jump function, and drive around the universe as he pleases to explore areas that have not been marked on the star map.

Reckett said that the star map given to him is still a small area, at most only 3% of the universe. Perhaps the territory of the Republic and the empire is even narrower, where they are located, only 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 set of clothes in a roadside clothing store, wear-resistant military-style trousers, non-slip Chinese boots, vests and jackets. After wearing them, he looked very energetic. He cut his hair again, and his short hair was matched with his wheaten color. The complexion looks sunny and healthy. The mercenaries like to wear it like this, and some also like to wear some weird little things on their coats and jackets, tattoos on their arms, and wear earrings.

Opal was walking on the street with a bag of old clothes. Someone stopped on the side of the road and whistled at him, and asked: “Hi! Beautiful wandering man! Give you a ride? Where do you go?”

Opal smiled and said, “I didn’t expect where to go.”

“Let’s go! Go for a drive!” The man was an unknown mercenary and waved at him. Opal got into the car and the maglev car flew up into the air. Opal said: “Just come back from the mission?”

“Yeah.” The mercenary turned on the music in front of the car and said, “I almost died in the Cancer Nebula. I was relaxing. It’s good to be alive these days.”

Opal smiled and said: “A good life. I wish you a long life.”

In the prosperous night, half of the scorching star was shining brightly, and the city of battle stars shrouded in the dividing line between day and night. Turning to the deep night, the god of war star cast its blazing light onto this land full of blood and hard work.

Opal chatted with the mercenary for a while about their respective missions. When it comes to the auction of the Star of Everlasting, the mercenary smiled and said: “There is such a good thing. I know I’ll follow along to have a good meal.”

The two went around, Opal yawned and said, “Let me get off the tarmac and go back to sleep.”

“Yes.” The mercenary said: “I wish you a long life!”

Opal got out of the car to bid him farewell, walked into the apron, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask his name. But forget it, maybe one day you will run into it.

He began to fall in love with this planet gradually, and he felt a sense of shared honor and disgrace.

“Leave a mission so late?” The policeman said without looking up.

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

The policeman said: “It’s not good to always sleep on the spacecraft. If you have money, go to the suburbs to buy a small house to live in. There are discounts for grade C and above, and the ID card is collected. I wish you a long life.”

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

Xun: “Yes, right, right, you can save a lot of money by entrusting the task here, at least not having to pay a handling fee…”

The voice of the teenager: “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?!”

Xun was taken aback, and said coldly: “Why it’s you again, don’t be nosy.”

Opal pulled the young man’s wrist, pulled him aside, and said seriously: “The entrusted task must go to the union branch. Any union can entrust it. There is a direct train outside. Don’t listen to him. Don’t ask anyone. People show your account…what are you doing?! Do you want to fight?!”

Opal could not help but staggered a few steps as he rushed in front of him, guarding the boy behind him.

Xun roared, “What’s up to you?! Do you want to be beaten again?”

Opal rolled up his sleeves and yelled at him unwillingly: “Come on! I don’t know who wanted to be beaten up. Did you forget what kind of dog you were beaten last time?”

Xun’s face was flushed and he was about to step forward desperately. The several associates behind him obviously remembered the last time they besieged Opal and Raymond, and they did not dare to move forward. Opal drew out the big sword behind him and leaned it towards the ground. No one dared to step forward immediately.

“What! Don’t fight!” The policeman at the exit came over.

Opal raised his eyebrows defiantly, and returned his sword.

Quickly said coldly: “You just wait and see.”

Opal said coldly: “It’s you who are watching! If you want to make money, go and work hard to accept the commission! Don’t be a trash here! You are deceived and deceived and lose the face of a mercenary!”

Shaking quickly with anger, a whole collar, left from Opal.

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

“Sid.” The boy said: “Your name is Opal, um, good name, where am I going now? Here… why do you feel so tired.”

Opal nodded and said, “Go outside and buy a map with a place on it. The gravity coefficient of the star is 1.3. Don’t run and be careful of fractures. It will be fine after a period of adaptation.”

The boy asked: “There are… many cities? Which city is easier to entrust?”

Opal said: “Same, Sunlight City, City of Souls of War can be used, most people in this place are good, worthy of trust, don’t be afraid.”

Xi De said: “Thanks…thank you, I want to entrust a task.”

Opal said: “Go to the union, there will be someone to receive, I don’t know the process. If that guy comes to pester 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 indicate that he was welcome, put his backpack on, went into the apron, and went back to sleep on the spacecraft.

Thirty-six hours passed quickly, and Opal was in waste time in the spacecraft. When playing games, there was grass on his head. The night passed, and when the dawn came, E7 screamed to remind him to get up, and Opal became frizzy. , Take a shower and change new clothes, shave clean beard, ready to welcome the beginning of the new working day.

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

At 0:00 in the morning, a ray of sunlight dyed the morning glow red, and the mercenaries at the entrance of the Sunshine City Labor Union were about to fight.

“Don’t fight here!” Opal was so squeezed that he finally entered the lobby on the first floor.

There were quarreling leaders everywhere along the way, and the female staff screamed: “It’s no use telling me! No, yes, useful——! I’m not afraid of you——!”

Opal went to line up at the window of the single mission, and couldn’t find Raymond. Suddenly he remembered that they were still wearing the ear buckle communicator, touched it subconsciously, and asked, “Hey, man, where are you?”

There was no answer, Raymond must have picked off the communicator. Opal waited a little irritably and shouted: “Hurry up in front of you!”

“Have you heard! The one behind you is urging!” The staff shouted to the person in front of him: “How do I know what the employer has a record of! It’s none of our business, the next one! Get out of here now!”

Opal waited a lot. Seeing that the single-person tasks on the bulletin board were picked up and disappeared, shaking his left leg impatiently, a small robot flew over and stretched out the communicator.

“F-class mercenary opal, you have a communication from the city of sunset.” Electronic voice channel.

Opal thought about the chip Mrs. Anta gave to Azeroth, and immediately picked it up, but there was another voice on the other end: “Hello, is it Mr. Opal?”

Opal responded in a hurry. After listening to the content, he reluctantly said: “I am accepting a commission. What is this? Can’t it be passed on to someone else?!”

“Consultation and tour guide are also part of the entrusted content. The employer has submitted a commission and asked you for special help. I hope you will uphold the mercenary spirit and complete it seriously.”

Opal couldn’t laugh or cry, so he turned around and left the union hall and found an empty car to drive to the city of sunset.

The Union Hall in Sunset City was decorated very luxuriously, but no matter how luxurious the place was, mercenaries were arguing. The young Sid who met on the tarmac yesterday stood at a union clerk and looked up at Opal.

Opal has completely wilted, and with such a tossing method, he has no hope of his mission.

“What can I do for you?” Opal asked.

Sid’s face turned pale, he was shorter than Opal, and said, “I only know you. The gentleman said that my commission rating is too high. I don’t have enough credit points, so I issued a…consultation commission. , I want you to help me sell something.”

Opal said: “What are the details of your mission? How much does it cost?”

The clerk behind Sid said blankly: “Mercenary, I have to remind you that it is illegal to receive an employer’s commission in private. You will be detained for ten days plus three levels in a row.”

Opal was dumbfounded: “I know the rules very well! Let’s follow the process now! I don’t need to remind you, thank you!”

Opal went to swipe the card to accept the designated commission, and said helplessly: “Forget it, let’s have breakfast first, I’ll treat you.”

It was the first time he came to this city. The style was quite different from that of Sunshine City. The buildings all had the color of dusk. Although it was only early in the morning, the whole city was shrouded in dim light and it was very quiet.

Opal wears a pair of crimson sunglasses and a mercenary uniform. Sitting outside the garden cafe, the morning light shines on him, handsome and uninhibited, with a determined masculine charm.

“I only have three thousand credits.” Sid said: “With the things my mother left me during her lifetime. I want to use it for some money, and then entrust the task. The staff said there is no pawnshop here… Maybe some people will buy it. It. I don’t know who to ask. I only know you. Please help me to ask if anyone is willing to buy it.”

“Let me see.” Opal took an item from Sid and asked: “What is this? A gem?”

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 and looked at it over and over again. He couldn’t tell the truth, and said, “Is there a source? How much do you want to sell it for?”

Sid: “Two hundred thousand.”

Opal’s sunglasses almost fell off and asked: “Such a small piece of gadget will sell for two, ten, or ten thousand?!”

Sid: “That’s what they said. I still have 60,000 to 70,000…I need to pay at least 250,000 to deliver the commission. 50,000 as a handling fee, 200,000 to… to the mercenaries.”

Opal: “What type of commission? Don’t let you take the task privately. It’s always okay to ask about the type.”

Sid said with a sad expression, “Looking for someone.”

Opal said: “Are there any detailed clues?”

Sid shook his head.

Opal’s heart is really difficult to do. The task of finding people is the most difficult. Finding people without any clues is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. Basically, a mercenary is reluctant to take on this type of task. It is a waste of time and life to inquire about one planet after another.

Usually the cycle of tracing missions is very long, and the longest can even extend to hundreds of years. Opal itself cannot take on such missions, nor can it attack him. He put the gems down, thought for a while, and said, “I have a friend, maybe he knows what your gems are for. You stay here and wait.”

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

Opal was squeezed and complained, and finally ran up to the second floor, pushed away the person in front of him, and asked the contact person: “Can you find the wrench for me?!”

The liaison officer gave him a white look: “Don’t you have a communicator?”

“Hey!” The mercenary behind him roared: “What kind of attitude are you! How can you treat taxpayers like this! He is also a mercenary! We are all taxed!”

The liaison officer screamed: “What’s so fierce! I’m not afraid of you! Don’t pay taxes if you have the ability! If you don’t pay taxes, you won’t even be able to get the task!”

Opal said: “I’m looking for a wrench! Help me contact him!”

The liaison officer said: “The person in charge of communications hasn’t come to work yet——! Can’t you go to the machine shop and buy a short-wave terrestrial electronic communicator by yourself? It only costs 600 yuan!”

“I will help you find and I will help you find!” someone behind shouted: “His house is in the city of sunset! Brother, please let me go, I have to do something!”

Someone contacted the wrench for Opal. The wrench’s hair was messy, and he looked like he was not awake. He squeezed up the second hallway: “I’m in the lobby on the first floor. What are you doing here?”

Opal said: “Do me a favor.”

Wrench exclaimed: “There is no time, we didn’t even pick up the task this week…”

Opal said: “I pay! Three thousand!”

Wrench said: “Hurry up, hurry up… I won’t charge you.”

Opal and the wrench came down. The wrench took the baseball cap in Lily’s hand and clasped it on her head. Lily turned her head and glanced at Opal and said hello: “Hi! Little Ou! Hello! See you again! What’s the matter? Where are you going, baby?”

Opal: “Lend your boyfriend to use it! Just a moment!”

Wrench: “I’ll be back soon.”

Lily said to the window: “We will find it if we are not well prepared! Sister! We have twelve people to raise, so you can do it! When you send the task, just treat it as the same as before!”

The staff in the window did not eat her set, and suddenly said: “But now I have to re-register the form! Sister! You don’t have all of them, I need fingerprint verification! How else do I register?! I want me to cheat for you. Is it?! You can do it, okay—sister!”

Opal was so quarreled that he looked at Venus, came out with a wrench, and said, “I thought you were leaving on Monday.”

Wrench: “One of our team members went home to do errands, one less person, and now we can’t receive team tasks.”

Opal: “You are too miserable…”

Wrench: “Otherwise, why do you think that group leader is rushing to find a substitute. Come on, what’s the matter? A cup of top sphinx ice cream 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 customers, mostly a small team of two or three people. After receiving the commission, they came out to have breakfast and plan. Task.

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

“This is not a jewellery product.” The wrench carefully tested and murmured: “This is a synthetic product.”

“Is it worth it?” Opal only cares about this.

The wrench was expressionless, and shook his head slightly disapprovingly.

“I think no mercenary will need it. If you are not in a hurry to cash out, you can hand it over to someone from the Galaxy Antiques Association for appraisal, and you may be able to sell it at a high price. Of course, it may be worthless. It’s luck.”

Sid said: “But it’s…my mother’s family heirloom, she told me to keep it safe…”

Wrench asked: “How did you get it? It’s impossible to be in your house from the beginning.”

Sid did not answer.

“How long does it take to sell to the Antiques Association?” Sid asked again.

“It’s hard to tell.” Wrench shrugged: “Maybe at least two or three cosmic years.”

Opal couldn’t bear to see it, and said: “Maybe I can think of other ways, is the person who makes this stuff famous?”

Wrench said: “The material of this thing may be a bit old, but the shaped crystals in the universe have basically existed for hundreds of millions of years, which means nothing. Moreover, there is no factory batch number on it, let alone the name of the manufacturer, and it cannot be used as an antique. Sell, look.”

The wrench injects a beam of light into the gem, and the beam of light diverges after entering the center of the gem, refracting a halo.

Opal didn’t understand at all, and said: “Oh, what does this mean?”

Wrench said: “It is a technique that is rarely seen 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 made up of tens of thousands of lights with completely different frequencies.”

Opal nodded blankly. Sid was confused when he heard. The wrench put away his tools, and after drinking his coffee, he said, “It may be the light signal control center of some complicated machinery, but no one in the known machinery has adopted such a center. Signal transmission method. It may also be a discarded item of a failed test product. I will not buy it. I wish you a long life and I am leaving.”

Opal had to nod his head to bid farewell to the wrench, and Sid sighed.

“Take it away.” Opal said: “I will return the entrustment to you in full. There are two long voyage ships today. You can take a ship to the galaxy…”

“No one wants it.” Sid finally told the truth: “I came from the galaxy, and the pawnshop of the United Chamber of Commerce is only willing to pay 20,000 yuan, because they don’t know what it is.”

Opal said: “When selling antiques?”

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

Sid said: “It can’t be done, it’s too long. My father may be dead.”

Opal was stunned, and then vaguely guessed something. This has something to do with his father? Then the task of tracing people is simply a muddle, and you don’t even know whether you are alive or dead. Most of them are released but no one answers them.

But Opal still said: “Come on, don’t give up.” He himself thought this was a bit silly.

“Hello.” A middle-aged man wearing glasses said politely: “Is it Mr. Opal? I wish you a long life.”

Opal frowned and looked up at him. He felt that the middle-aged man was a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had met.

Opal nodded, wearing glasses, middle-aged humanely: “I’m sorry to disturb you, I have limited time, so I have to offend.” Said Bi clenched his right hand and pressed his left shoulder, bowed politely, Opal After regaining consciousness, they got up and saluted, and the two of them lightly touched their fists and faces. Opal said: “Let’s talk here, Sid, wait for me for a while.”

The middle-aged man said to Xi De: “I won’t take up too much of your time.”

Opal asks the waiter to serve coffee, sits at another table with the middle-aged man, and looks at him for a while, always feeling that this man is very familiar. His face is full of vicissitudes and mature masculine charm, it looks quite old, and the brows behind the glasses are wise and wary. This kind of look has only been seen in Reckett’s eyes. There is a wonderful harmony of elegance and ruggedness.

The middle-aged man has short brown-red hair, the hair on the temples slightly covers his ears, and the stubble on the side of his face is shaved and sexy.

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

Opal can’t remember where he has seen this person, but he is inexplicably familiar.

“Introduce myself, my name is Krilaus Ben Azeroth.” The middle-aged humanity.

Opal: “…”

Opal suddenly realized: “So you shaved your beard and your hair cut short! What am I talking about!”

Azeroth said: “Occasionally… also fix it.”

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