The Star Knight - 28. Chapter Twenty Eight

Azeroth: “Lefina is very grateful to you and your companions for your assistance to her.”

Opal said: “Raymond… uh, have you seen him too?”

Azeroth said: “I didn’t see him face to face, I only talked a few words in the communicator, so I can only ask you for some internal information.”

Opal said: “You are polite, let me think about…”

Raymond didn’t even buy the mercenary king’s account. He really had a personality. Opal recalled their detailed mission content. Azeroth inserted a few questions from time to time, and Opal answered one by one. When it came to Bishop Kane, Azeroth asked: “The King of Meteor is obviously acting on him. With some decorations, haven’t you been hypnotized?”

Opal said unnaturally: “No. He is called the King of Meteorites?”

Azeroth nodded slowly. Opal always felt that the gaze behind his glasses had guessed a lot of things. He only felt that sitting in front of Azeroth was uncomfortable. He tried to divert the topic and asked: “Meteor Wang…Kololin, did he accept Kane as…a lackey?”

Azeroth said: “Judging from the news from the Sunshine Twins, this is indeed the case. Bishop Kane was brain-dead when his mission failed, and the rescue was ineffective. But I personally think that perhaps he was received in terms of faith. The invasion of the King of Meteorite, that guy has always been very good at consciousness influence and control.”

“Suppose Kane mistakenly believes in a god that does not exist in a prayer. After all, there are too many unexplained phenomena in the universe. When his belief is shaken, he will be psychologically hinted. Kane switched to another method. I hypnotized Pike, so to speak… This incident was planned from the beginning, with the goal of obtaining star map fragments, and kidnapping one or more archaeologists to assist them in the interpretation and excavation of the treasure map.”

Opal nodded slowly, and a person came up outside the cafe, bowed and said a few words in Azeroth’s ear. Azeroth waved his hand and said, “Wait a minute, Rosen.”

The man stood aside and acted as a follower.

Azeroth said: “My question is over. It’s too late to welcome you. I believe you have integrated into the big family of the mercenary kingdom. How do you feel?”

“Not bad.” Opal said: “I like this place very much. Can you help me raise the mercenary level? Just mention E.”

The expression of the entourage became very weird, and Azeroth laughed loudly, the laughter was very bold, attracting a lot of people’s attention.

“The rules of the trade union… uh.” Azeroth was funny: “I can’t modify it casually.”

Opal said: “Actually I think this planet is really good, but some places are… a bit of that.”

Azeroth said: “For example?”

Opal thought for a while and said: “For example, order, such as…”

Opal began to complain to Azeroth about the construction of the fierce star. If his mentality were more mature, he would not do such a thing, but after all, Opal is still too young, and there are young people who deserve it. Love instructs Jiangshan’s interest. He told Azeroth what he thought of, including quarrels in the union, difficulty in finding a group for mercenaries, difficulty in coordination, and so on.

He talked so much that after a long time in the future, thinking of this early morning of the year, he was brazen and boastful in front of the mercenary king who had lived for thousands of years. .

“It is best that everyone can rent a mecha when they are out of the mission, which can ensure the safety of everyone’s life.” Opal finally suggested.

Azeroth nodded with a smile and said, “I will consider it when I have money. To be honest, regarding the status quo of the trade union, I have also considered introducing all-electronic information technology so that everyone can leave after receiving the task and return the commission. The distribution of personnel and personnel go through the information terminal. But in the end, I feel that this will easily wipe out everyone’s enthusiasm, and it is not conducive to motivating the exchanges and morale between the mercenary groups.”

Opal thought about it for a while and said, “Yes. If there is no such link, all the tasks are entrusted at home, so they won’t meet. There are kinds of noisy unions, there are kinds of…”

“Energetic, fiery and masculine atmosphere, vigorous vitality.” Azeroth nodded approvingly: “We are a big family, we share honor and disgrace.”

Opal said: “Then it’s okay to continue to maintain the status quo. You can also reduce the unemployment rate and keep some windows and offices.”

Azeroth said: “After a while, a referendum will be launched to try to improve public facilities, collect as little commission as possible, and transfer the cost to the employer’s handling fee as much as possible… By the way, I heard from you just now. Dialogue. Is that your employer?”

Opal took off his sunglasses, regretfully pours bitterness towards Azeroth, and talked about how difficult it is to get up early in the morning to take on the task, Azeroth listened to the process and said: “Let me see, what gem is it? ”

Opal took Sid’s stone and gave it to Azeroth, thinking that he was knowledgeable and might know something.

Azeroth only observes with his eyes, without the aid of any equipment, of course, he can’t see why.

Azeroth said: “This reminds me that when I was a quasi-F-class mercenary, the first task I received was to take my employer to tour the entire fiery star and act as her tour guide. The employer was Refina’s mother. , With her as a little girl.”

Opal’s mouth twitched, and Azeroth said, “Two hundred thousand, a very reasonable price, Rosen.”

The entourage behind him nodded and took out a temporary card. Opal looked straight and asked, “You want to buy it?”

Azeroth said: “Maybe it will work in the future. Even the wrench can’t see the purpose. Maybe there are not many in the universe.”

Opal said: “This…I think he will thank you very much, Sid!”

Azeroth immediately said: “No, no, I don’t want to accept too much thanks, this is a very heavy burden.”

The entourage named Rosen took out a portable credit card terminal, Azeroth transferred the account, put the gems away, and said, “You saved Refina and saved me a lot of effort. I think it’s totally worth it. . Otherwise, I’ll have to save my new history consultant personally, tracing people plus search and rescue, which is a very headache.”

“Refina has always been fascinated by ancient culture research. Most of the money is used to fund archaeology and the disciples who have fallen apart. She has little savings in her life. Because of Parker, all the assets under her name have been frozen and can only be borrowed. A meager amount of money to repay the two people for their life-saving grace, but I personally think that she is the priceless treasure of Liexing, and her life is definitely more than 50,000 credits for us…”

Opal smiled and said: “Uh…Money is all foreign objects, so be polite, don’t mind this question too much.”

Azeroth nodded and said, “I wish you a long life and a hundred years.”

The two saluted each other, Azeroth bid farewell, Opal gave the card to Sid, and said: “So things will always turn around, and this will be resolved, congratulations. Our king bought your gems. Hurry up, now go to entrust the task, and I will be able to catch my entrustment when I go back.”

Opal sent Sid to the labor union branch of Sunset City and watched him conduct entrusted rating and appraisal. After all the procedures were completed, Opal said: “I registered in Sunlight City, and now I will go back to pick up the task and go. Goodbye.”

Sid said gratefully, “How can I contact you?”

Opal thought for a while and said: “I will buy a shortwave communicator in a while, and I will give you the number at that time, and then contact me.”

In the mercenary diary, the task was paid. Opal thought for a while, returned two thousand credits to Sid, and said: “Actually, I didn’t do anything for you. These are reserved for you as living expenses. Don’t empty it out. Come on. !”

Opal touched Sid’s head, as if seeing himself as a child, patted him on the shoulder again, and ran out of the union back to Sunlight City.

In the Sunshine City branch, Opal continued to line up. There were fewer people, but he was still clamoring to overturn the first floor.

Opal was at the end of the line and looked around. The single-player missions on the bulletin board had been reduced by nearly half. When he was so anxious, Raymond’s impatient voice came from the front: “I can do it alone! No need for two people! Boss There is no need for two people to work in shifts to stay in the greenhouse for seven days…”

“The employer said there must be two people! The employer said! What’s the use of you arguing with me!” The clerk shouted: “There are so many orders here, so if you apply for a temporary collaboration comrade, will it die!! Will it die? !”

Raymond roared: “Four thousand credits keep the greenhouse for seven days! Who will pick up this kind of work! Is the two thousand points per person begging? You see for yourself, who will pick you up? You! You are willing to spend seven days earning money Two thousand points?”

The mercenary behind Raymond said angrily: “I might as well go begging! The beggars in the capital of the Republic can earn 20,000 yuan a month! Hurry up! If you don’t do it, retreat the task! Don’t delay the time! The next national election I must fire these task raters who eat and not work!”

The clerk suddenly screamed: “Who is afraid of you! Fired me at this window and there are only robots left! At that time, you will not even be able to receive a single task, and you can only lose money if you break the robot! Try it! Big guy You hurry up to find a partner! Don’t stand in here anymore! It’s time to get off work!”

Leimen got nowhere to get out of his stomach, took a deep breath, seeing his expression really want to throw the mercenary diary to the ground.

When I turned my head I saw Opal looking at him and smiling.

Raymond also wore that shiny ear buckle on his ear.

Opal handed out the diary of the mercenary and asked him to apply for collaboration.

Raymond looked at Opal for a while, did not pick up his mercenary diary, and beckoned: “Come with me.”

Opal: “?”

Raymond took the Opal to the personnel hall on the second floor. Raymond threw the mercenary diary with his ID card into the window and said, “Form a permanent mercenary group.”

Opal said: “Group?”

Raymond said: “Group? If you like, hand in your diary and ID card.”

The second floor was still clamoring, and there was no one at the group window. In front of another window to fill the place, a group leader grabbed his group member’s ear and spoke loudly.

“Think about it! All recruits!” The director of the team office said loudly, “Grouping is the same as getting married! Don’t think about it, don’t think it through! I promise you will be over in a few days! Divorce is not so easy! ! The division of the tour fee will bother you to death! You see, the team next door can be fired until tomorrow…”

Opal: “…”

Raymond: “Don’t be wordy!”

Everywhere was an angry group leader, and the team next door was still roaring: “I was really caught in the door before I recruited you to join the group…”

Opal threw out the diary and said: “Group!” The light screen floated out, allowing the two to print their fingerprints to verify their pupils.

Raymond said: “Think of the name.”

Opal: “Whatever.”

Director of the Office: “Any mercenary group?”

Raymond and Opal said in unison: “No!”

Office director: “What’s so bad! I don’t want to use this name, someone has already registered!”

Opal said: “What name… I think about it. Begging the mercenary group? Not very good, I am a hard worker…”

Raymond said: “Enough of you! Let me come.”

“Call…” Raymond said, “Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps?”

Opal: “It’s terrible.”

Raymond: “Then you think about it yourself, huh?”

Opal hurriedly said: “This name couldn’t be better.”

The Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps was established, the team fund account was established, and the registration was successful. Opal and Raymond took an oath to the code.

Opal said blankly: “I will never raise weapons to my comrades…”

Raymond: “One day in the team, never betray, never be tempted by money and power…”

Opal: “I will never abandon my comrades to escape alone…”

Raymond: “You are serious.”

Opal said blankly: “What?”

Raymond: “I think you are very perfunctory.”

Opal said angrily: “I’m really perfunctory, do you still need to talk about the content of these oaths? It must be done!”

Lei Meng stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded, the team vows to establish, and throws out the diary in it, saying: “I wish you a long life, and I wish your team a long life-it’s okay.”

Commander Raymond, deputy commander of Opal-only two people.

In the Cuckoo restaurant, the two were sitting at the table. Opal had already had a cup of coffee in the morning and had eaten a lot of food, but Raymond hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. The two opened their mercenary diaries as they ate and planned to pick them up. Things down.

There is still plenty of time, and it is still very leisurely when Liexing is not on a mission. After all, everyone is struggling with their lives. After retiring from the battlefield, they want to live a peaceful and stable life. So pubs, coffee shops, restaurants are everywhere, and there are also many entertainment bars. Apart from eating, clothing and playing, there are no other activities during vacation.

With the straw of iris wine in his mouth, Raymond pointed to the list of supplies listed by Opal.

Opal said: “I know more and more people. I have to buy a terrestrial shortwave communicator to find people.”

Raymond said: “Just buy one, we can communicate with each other.” He tapped his ear buttons with his fingers.

Opal nodded, and Raymond said again: “The mercenary group station is temporarily postponed, and I can’t afford a house. I only have 100,000 credits. How about you?”

Opal smiled and said: “The ore I brought back from Chiyan Star has been exchanged…180,000 plus the most recent commission, as well as Mrs. Anta’s remuneration, there are more than 200,000 credits.”

Raymond nodded and said, “You have more money than me. During this time, let’s live on your spaceship. Let’s go back and clean up and arrange it more comfortably. What you need to buy will be withdrawn from the team account. If the level is high, then pool the money to buy a station for rest.”

There was warmth in Opal’s heart and said: “Great! How much does it cost to buy a house?”

Raymond said casually: “It’s a very long-term thing, let’s talk about it later.”

“I’ll go shopping.” Opal stood up and said.

Raymond nodded. Now they are a long-term team. Many materials must be equipped. Guns are required. Guns in the Ares Galaxy are very loose. You can buy all kinds of guns, but they are never allowed in their own. The use of fighting on the site, once found out, immediately expelled from the trade union, depending on the severity of the circumstances or exile, the highest sentence is to death.

Opal used his and Raymond ID cards to buy two shotguns. They were too expensive, and each gun required close to 10,000 credits. The charging was not cheap, so it was better to save some use first.

The cold weapon fusion new technology is not much worse than the newly developed gun.

Opal also bought a communicator and reported it to the mercenary union. After registering the communicator number, it was displayed in the electronic yellow page so that the others could contact.

He came out of the trade union, found the contact number of the Mercenary Group of the Twelve Star Clusters, added to the contact list, suddenly a little curious, turned on the projection device of the Raymond ID card, and took a look.

The holographic image rotates slowly in the air, and the content is as follows:

Raymond.

Stars: the spiral galaxy in Lyra, the five-star canine tooth, planet number C901AU730.

Gender: male.

Naturalization time: Guangjiyuan 20082.

Date of birth: December 27, 20082.

Gene identification code: (Hidden password)

Pupil ripples: (pattern)

Fingerprint: (Hidden password)

Raymond is 22 years old? Opal had never expected him to be so young, and the appearance of Raymond on the projection was exactly the same as it is now. In the restaurant across the street from the union, Raymond got up, Opal immediately turned off the projection device, and crossed the street to return his ID card.

“Bought it?” Raymond took the card and put it away, Opal said: “Leave the team account with you.”

The two planned for a moment and shared the things that Opal bought back. Raymond took over the small ground communicator, a small wrist buckle, and Opal said: “You are the captain, wear this on you too.”

Two big boys carrying their bags and basking in the sunshine on the streets of Sunlight City, Opal buried his head and put on a wristband to Raymond. His wrists were strong and safe, and the two were like a landscape in the land of mercenaries.

“Opal?” The voice of the man on the side sounded.

Opal and Raymond looked up at the same time, Raymond asked: “Who are you?”

The man has long brown-gray hair, a touch of dark silver in his eyes, a blue windbreaker all over, and the shirt collar is turned out from the windbreaker collar. He is thin, handsome and pale.

“You…ah! You are… your name is Rosen!” Opal recognized him, and it was Azeroth’s entourage.

Rosen nodded slowly, took out a red gem, and said, “This is a gift from the king. Congratulations on the establishment of the Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps.”

“What is this?” Raymond took the red crystal.

Opal immediately understood that this was an heirloom that Azeroth had bought from Sid for 200,000 yuan.

“No, no.” Opal hurriedly retorted: “It’s too expensive, kindly.”

“Keep it.” Rosen said politely: “When every mercenary group is established, the king will give it a souvenir. I hope you will always remember the meaning it represents, and always retain the principles and feelings of becoming a mercenary. , I wish you a long life and goodbye.”

Opal: “…”

Raymond shook hands with Rosen, and after Rosen left, Opal said, “Is there such a thing?”

Opal told the story, Raymond casually lifted the gem, looked at the daylight, tossed it casually, and handed it to Opal, saying: “You keep it.”
