The Star Knight - 57. Chapter Fifty Seven

Opal put his finger in, moved his thumb in one place, resting his head on the back of the chair, and caught Wendy’s thoughts with a slight movement – two little girls running on top of the sunny sea of trees, and then the sky was overwhelming. The flames of war and loud quarrels, and the mutual attacks between the female stars.

(I must find a way to keep them, they are the only turning point. Through them, ask the god of war for help.) Wendy thought.

Wendy took Raymond’s mercenary diary and looked at it for a long time, and said: “You can increase your reward. We can give you what you want. Mr. Raymond.” She stared at the diary and said, “You and yours Since the partner is a B-level mercenary group, he must also have the corresponding strength.”

Raymond didn’t interrupt her, walked to the side of the conference hall and sat down.

Opal said: “This has nothing to do with strength, and Azeroth will not agree to send troops to assist you just because we are on the female star. This is against the system. You’d better dispel this idea.”

The word Opal hits Wendy’s key point, and everyone in the council is watching him.

Wendy said: “Then change the way, as long as you are willing to help us solve the problem, the commission will be successfully completed, and the content of the task is as long as you…”

“Wendy.” An old man interrupted unceremoniously: “What can these two mercenaries do?”

Opal was lying on the swivel chair, without opening his eyes, he began to read the thoughts of the people in the room one by one, six women, three men, almost all thinking that Opal and Raymond could not do this, both How can an individual enter the militant base in the desert area to rescue people? What’s more, more than 400 members of the Nymphoma Council who were imprisoned by the rebels were rescued.

When he read the old man, Opal opened his eyes, and he keenly captured the details of the old man’s thinking-how to pass the news out.

This person is a spy.

Opal closed his eyes and said, “Your sister is not the only one, there are at least a few hundred.”

Wendy had a surprised expression on her face, and then he pondered for a moment, and said: “Yes, I want to invite you to the desert area to rescue our compatriots who were taken away. Inside are my sister and 416. A member of the female star council. The enemy is about to launch a final attack. According to the patrol, they are discussing sending out all the firepower to take this place in one fell swoop.”

Raymond asked: “When will it strike?”

Wendy: “I don’t know, it may be a few days later, or it may be tonight. Time is very precious. We must rescue all the hostages as soon as possible. Otherwise, the hostages are in their hands and we dare not go to war.”

Opal: “You have the ability to defeat the enemy after you rescue the hostages?”

Wendy: “Yes.”

Opal said: “I don’t quite believe it.”

Wendy took a deep breath and said, “It won’t bother you. I will send it to you. You can give it as many people as you need. In fact, we are in a meeting before you arrive, and we are talking about this issue.”

“We have a hundred soldiers fully prepared. They are all death squads. They can set off at any time, as long as they can rescue them. Everything is easy. The two can lead them, and after the people are rescued, let the defense team cover and retreat. .”

“In this way, I think… the previous task entrustment has not changed much in difficulty compared with the current one. For the actual trouble, I will apply to the committee for a fee. I think I can provide an additional 200,000 yuan. Credits are added, that’s it.”

Opal read Wendy’s thoughts and said: “Can the hostages play a key role in determining the war?”

Wendy added: “Yes, I have no comment on the future plan. If we win this war, we will give two fruits of the mother of the daughters. You are welcome to come to the daughters at any time.”

Opal took out a fruit.

Wendy was startled again, and then smiled: “You already have this thing? No wonder, what do I say.”

Another middle-aged woman on the side said: “It is normal for people who can reach the mother tree safely to have fruit. Let’s put it this way, if we fail, we will guarantee that our guests will not be implicated. After confirming the surrender, we will Send the two away in time.”

Another young girl said softly: “I agree with Wendy’s proposal. There is also a mercenary, maybe you can invite several gentlemen to act together, what do you think?”

Opal squinted his eyes, read the person’s heart, and understood her thoughts–their previous words seemed to them that they knew a lot, and they obviously came prepared. It is impossible for a prepared person without the strength to save people. Now when we talk about terms, it’s mostly just for money. They seem to be willing to make money.

And there is a mercenary on the female star? Opal wondered, who was it? Are you here to do the task?

Both Raymond and Opal are considering, Wendy said: “The two can go shopping nearby, discuss, eat something, and come to me at any time. I live in the wooden house on the west side.”

The congressmen dispersed, Opal put his feet down and got up. When he was about to talk to Raymond, Wendy stood at the door and said softly: “Sir.”

“My name is Opal.” Opal replied.

“Mr. Opal, do you know what the fruit of the mother of Nymphs symbolizes?” Wendy asked.

Raymond looked at her with a little puzzled, Opal thought for a while, and said: “Nutella tree will not attack the person who holds the fruit of the mother tree, is it?”

Wendy nodded and smiled softly: “Yes, but not only that. The female star has its own unique civilization. It is said that we are primitive people. We have not developed science and technology, and have never opened up planetary science and technology. Even without joining the Big Interstellar Technology Alliance, we have always followed the habit of natural union with in-laws.”

Opal said: “And the people of your actress are also very verbose. I always like to explain the cause and effect clearly.”

Wendy smiled and said, “This is…our habit. I’m sorry. I say too much about irrelevant things. What I want to say is that every female star is born by his mother and raised by his parents. After a child is born, he can get a fruit of the mother of Luo Nuo… No matter where the child goes in the Star Alliance, this fruit can prove that he is a Luo Nuren. For drinking the water here, eating here The natives who grew up with the food of the food, they have the breath of the parent star in their bodies, and they will not be attacked by the trees. In fact, they don’t need fruits. The mother of Nuluo gives each child a fruit, which is what the children give them. Half of it is used.”

“If the person who gave you the fruit is a girl, it means that she is willing to entrust her life to you and enter into a marriage relationship with you.” Wendy said: “If it is a boy, it means that he is willing to be with you for a lifetime. Good brothers, each other has the strongest loyalty to this friendship.”

“The person who I want to give you fruit may not mention this to you.” Wendy smiled and left the meeting.

A beam of light at dusk is projected from the hole in the shade of hundreds of meters high, shrouding the entire garden in the sun, just like spotlights on the stage, the place outside the sun is still a quiet night, forming a spectacular wonder .

Raymond was sitting at the table outside the restaurant for dinner. Opal was silent, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked, “Will you pick it up?”

Raymond said: “It’s not difficult to save a few people. You don’t need to go shopping here. I’ll come back after the rescue. Let’s go on vacation here again. What do you think?”

“Forget it.” Opal said: “400 people, can you save them all by one?”

Raymond moved his eyebrows and asked, “Don’t believe me make a bet?”

The corners of Opal’s mouth twitched, and Raymond said: “Listen, now seriously, we’d better have someone stay behind. I suspect there are spies among them. Most of our news has been passed on.”

Opal was a little surprised. He had obtained the information through mind reading, and Raymond actually knew about it? !

“How did you know?” Opal asked tentatively.

“I guess.” The fork in the fingertips of Raymond whirled, carefully scratched out the yolk of Yeniao’s egg, picked it up, and fed it to the opal.

Opal likes to eat tender egg yolks. He slapped his lips with satisfaction and found that Raymond was looking at his lips. Opal was inexplicably aware of Raymond’s inner activity-he fed himself the egg yolk, because he wanted to see how he licked his lips. .

Raymond likes to watch him lick his lips.

Opal generously licked the egg yolk at the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows at him.

Raymond swallowed, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

The two of them are like big boys who are beginning to love each other, and they talk about love in the twilight.

“What are you laughing at?” Raymond recovered and continued to eat his dinner.

“Nothing.” Opal said amused: “What do you want?”

Raymond said: “I don’t know who the spy is. You have to find the spy first and set a trap.”

Opal: “No need to find, the spy is the old man.”

Raymond frowned: “Oss? Are you talking about an old man with gray hair? I saw the work permit on his chest. The name is Oss.”

Opal: “I don’t know what his name is…”

Raymond: “Are you sure? This must not be a guess.”

Opal said: “If you are talking about the same person as me…” Opal saw a person out of the corner of his eye, and immediately said: “Look over there, hurry up!”

The two turned their heads at the same time. The old man who had spoken in the parliament was talking with Wendy. They were standing far away, and Raymond said, “It’s him! Oss, the vice chairman of the Botanical Research Promotion Association.”

Opal said: “I’m talking about him too.”

Raymond: “Give me proof, how do you know he is a spy?”

Opal said: “There is no evidence, it is intuition. Is it okay to answer this way?”

Opal didn’t dare to tell Raymond about mind reading. Once Raymond knew that he could read minds, he might feel that there was no interest in the two of them anymore, which was very boring. In fact, Opal almost never reads Raymond’s heart. He enjoys the love that is revealed more. Just like now, if Raymond knows he can read the mind, maybe he won’t be too lazy to say a lot of things.

Raymond asked suspiciously: “Intuition?”

Opal: “Intuition.”

Raymond thought for a while, and finally said: “Think of a way to persuade Wendy that after the rescue operation, I will not take it alone. I will give you all a hundred people. Stay here to hunt. Be sure to catch all the enemies. ”

“In this way, when I rescue the person, you also grab the opponent’s person in your hand, and the battle will be completely reversed.”

Opal said: “You’re just afraid that even Wendy will be taken away, and no one will be paid.”

Raymond laughed, pushed his plate after eating, and said, “I’ll talk to her.”

Opal said: “By the way, ask Mu Shu’s home, I hope he is still alive.”

The village is very small, maybe it was built temporarily. The waitress came to pick up the dishes. Opal asked, “Is this your political center?”

The waitress smiled and said: “No, this is called Adosna, in the ancient female Luoxing language, it is the city of night and the holy land of female Luoxing. The administrative capital is in the middle of the equatorial rift, and it is a floating city in the sky. After the war began It was occupied by the rebels. Ellie took us to hide here, seeking shelter from the mother tree.”

Opal nodded thoughtfully, ordered another Ye Lu drink, and the waitress said, “Which planet are you from? Not a local? Tourist?”

Opal said: “Liexing, home of mercenaries, have you heard of it?”

The waitress smiled: “Ah, no wonder, you and your companions are mercenaries?”

Opal nodded, the waitress sat down on the edge of the beam of light, took out a small box, began to do the handwork, and said casually: “I heard that Lie Xing is one of the two most beautiful planets in the universe for men, isn’t it? Are the men in your place tall and handsome?”

Opal said: “There is such a saying? I only know that actresses and Sphinx are rich in beautiful women.”

The waitress said: “The Lie Xing and the Sangbing Province are rich in beautiful men. This is also recognized. The Lie Xing’s men are full of masculine charm, like the god of war…Azeroth; the priests of the Sangbing Province are also very handsome. A man from Sangbing Province.”

Opal thought for a while, and found that this is indeed the case. Liexing’s men are handsome and tall, and almost invariably they are beautiful men. Even the rude and unshaven men have a wild and unruly beauty.

I’ve been to many places. It is true that the average score of the men of the Liestar is the highest. Needless to say, Suiyan is a kind of grassy person. Even Xun and Yinlan, and even the dumb old Parker, who has only worked together once, are also very handsome and heroic.

“Nu Luo is the hometown of beautiful women.” Opal said: “You are also very beautiful.”

“Thank you.” With an intoxicating smile on the face of the waitress, she bowed her head to make a hand-made flower, full of fragrance, she said: “I am a mixed-race, my father is not a local.”

The light of the setting sun gradually faded and turned into a magnificent purple. Opal looked up at the small hole in the canopy of the distant mother of the mother, and saw a twinkling star.

The whole planet has dimmed, and the star Jade will orbit a huge planet. This planet will block the star’s light. After 47 hours, when it leaves the shadow of the planet and the solar eclipse has passed, the day will come again.

The fireflies were flying in the quiet eclipse night, reflecting the handsome face of Opal. He stunned for a while, and suddenly heard someone say: “Hi, beautiful man. I thought you were missing.”

“Yinlong?” Opal recognized him immediately. Yinlong turned over the garden railing of the restaurant, smiled with sunshine, came over and sat down in the chair, snapped his fingers, and said, “Give me a cup of green coffee. ”

“Choose my account, let’s get some fried kiwi fruit circle.” Opal said: “Why are you here? The mercenary they said is you?”

Yinluo said, “I’m here to give Xiao Sui’s ashes to his two mothers, and I ran into your team leader at Wendy’s, and he asked me to join you temporarily to carry out this commission.” He took out a female Luo. Guo showed it to Opal and said, “This is what Xiao Sui gave me before his death. It is a precious thing in his life. I have to fulfill his wish to go home.”

Opal only remembered this, and sighed. He looked at Yinluo and knew that his relationship with Suiyan was mostly unusual. Maybe there was a lover’s intimacy in it. He comforted: “It’s all over. .”

Yinlan smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, Xiao Sui’s mother is a female star. She said that when Xiao Sui died, she felt it. His soul came back through the universe as early as the same day. She opened the urn a few days ago. Mother Luo took his ashes away.”

Opal said: “Take it? Where to take it?”

Yin’an shrugged.

The waitress came over with a tray and smiled: “You only have shells in your hands. The fruit of the mother of radishes is not edible. Its seeds will automatically peel off and be buried in the soil, giving birth to new trees, and they will bear fruit. The fruit that comes out is called Nv Luoguo.”

Opal understood, Yin Lu said: “Then I think the mother of Nuo Luo took away Xiao Sui’s soul, maybe he will become a seed in the next life…”

Opal smiled and said: “It’s not bad to be a tree, standing in the sun.”

Yinlan said, “At least you don’t need to move your nest.”

Both of them laughed, and the sorrow of losing their comrades was alleviated a lot.

Yinyuan came earlier than Opal and Raymond, and knew a little bit more about the female star. Three hundred universes ago, the female star had a coup and the parliament was revoked. There is no doubt that there is an empire behind it. Supported, the members of the former female radish council were kept under constant surveillance.

It wasn’t until Wendy, the chairman of the “Association for the Promotion of Plant Research”, exercised a legal provision to let local parliamentarians join the association through her sister, Ai Li, to effectively protect everyone’s safety.

These councillors left the floating city in the middle of the Rift Valley one after another to seek refuge in Luo’s mother. They were suddenly attacked on the road, and many were taken away-more than 400 people including Ai Li became hostages of the New Development Engineering Department.

They took the hostages and demanded the surrender of the members of the Plant Research Promotion Association.

It was sixteen days ago when Yinlan came here. Not long after Wendy brought the refugees to his home, their chances of victory were extremely slim. The empire was too powerful, and armed mechanical guards were sent to protect the expatriates and factories. Outside the atmosphere.

But the only Republic that has the right to fight against the empire has left the actress cleanly, and even the factory is no longer needed, as if for fear of getting into this thorny trouble.

“Don’t care about the Republic?” Opal said.

“Perhaps because of policy.” Raymond returned, and he brought Wendy over and sat down at the table.

Wendy said: “The Republic has another political policy. They don’t want to conflict with the empire, or in other words, they put their eyes on other planets.”

Opal said: “But you are also a member of the Star Alliance, so no one else will care about this?”

“Who dares to control?” Yinlong said: “The only country that can contend with the empire is the Republic.”

Also, Opal is no longer the ignorant boy who left the Chiyan Galaxy. He already knows that the Empire is a huge political machine with 7,000 planets, and the Republic has 3,300 registered planets. In these two star alliances The territories of the superpowers of China are huge, and the other small countries will definitely not be able to intervene if they really want to start a war.

Originally, Wendy’s plan was to ask Yinlan to help and lead a hundred death squads to carry out rescue missions. Now that Opal and Raymond are here, the plan has changed again.

Wendy said, “Can you give us a private room?”

The waitress said, “Now, Wendy.”

She pressed a button to unfold the huge rotating green leaves underground, separating the space around the tea table, forming a bud-like independent private room, and the blue fluorescent flower on the top illuminates the interior of the private room, which is very romantic.

“I intend to do this.” Raymond inserted an information card into the card slot of E7, and E7 began to read the map information.

Raymond turned on the projection of E7 and said: “I did reconnaissance just now. Oss is indeed a spy. He passed the message outside that the place where the hostages were actually held was not far from the sea of trees. It was an abandoned underground fertilizer center. They used this As a stronghold, we are ready to launch the final action…Wait until we leave with the death squad.”

Wendy said, “How did you discover…”

“Guess.” Opal said.

Yinlan smiled, touched Opal’s head, and said, “He is very good.”

Wendy took a deep breath and said, “Fortunately you found the spy, this time…”

“You’re welcome.” Opal smiled modestly and said: “Go on, don’t waste time.”

Both Yinlan and Raymond laughed. Raymond called up the map of Shuhai. The map was complicated and the terrain was uneven. Opal found the red dot on it and said, “Is it here?”

“Yeah.” Raymond said, “Fifty-five kilometers.”

Opal: “Out of the scope of the contactor.”

Raymond: “Are you talking about ear buckles? I guess I can barely receive the signal.”

Opal: “What are you going to do?”

Raymond said: “In five hours, the action will begin. Yinyuan gathered everyone together, evacuated to the second-level trunk and protected them. There is a refuge fifty meters above us, which is reserved for your soldiers. Fifty people disguised as ordinary residents, and fifty people lay in ambush on the spot, waiting for the other to rob people. Opal led them to catch them alive as much as possible when they could not catch them…”

Opal said: “I’m afraid it’s hard to deal with, what is the origin of the poacher?”

Raymond: “A small part are imperial soldiers in disguise, and most of them are rascals from other galaxies.”

Opal nodded slowly. When the empire sent disguised poachers in the first place, considering the interstellar influence, it should not dare to send thugs to the female star on a large scale. It is not too difficult to deal with.

The same task was placed a few months ago, when Opal met members of the regular army.

The interstellar rating of the mercenaries has always been inferior to that of the regular army. After all, the Imperial Army has been systematically taught and well-trained, and the combat quality is not a little bit higher than that of Liexing’s miscellaneous soldiers.

However, the recent battle has made the entire Lie Star’s military evaluation jump higher. The mercenaries who survived are all cruel characters who have been on the battlefield and desperately fought their lives.

The empire has not encountered a large-scale war since 300 years ago, and simulation training alone cannot reach the realm of mercenaries who have fought on the edge of life and death.

The battlefield is the best examination room. Those who fail lose their lives, those who have the strength have passed the rigorous assessment, and Opal and Raymond both scored high. This is their capital.

Opal: “How many people are there?”

Wendy said: “The rebels have a maximum of 600 people, and they have to send people to the base where the hostages are held. At most, they can only send 500 people.”

Opal said: “Are you sure there are only five hundred?”

Wendy nodded and said, “The empire dare not send troops directly. Five hundred people are already the limit of poachers. The female stars who defect to them are our compatriots, and no one will attack their own people, let alone. Come to attack Nuluo’s mother.”

Raymond said: “Five hundred people are easy to solve. The local army dare not attack the compatriots in the shade of the mother of Luo Nuo, this is their belief.”

Opal nodded slowly, five to six hundred people, in the case of preparation, win more with less, not difficult.

After the agreement was reached, Wendy said to Opal: “The friend you are looking for, Mu Shu, has been contacted. He is in another shelter, more than 300 kilometers away. We sent him a newsletter in the afternoon and he heard you coming. Things are very happy, but he can’t leave the underground refuge. Now it’s dangerous everywhere outside. If he encounters a poacher, he may be killed on the spot at any time…”

Opal hurriedly said: “Tell him not to come out! I will visit him after I solve the task.”

“I helped you tell him.” Raymond said: “After the commission is over, find him out to gather and have a drink.”

Opal said: “Yes, that’s it.”

The four of them split up to prepare. Yinyuan led the people to evacuate. There was a rotating staircase in the giant air root. Opal followed up to set up an ambush. The mother of Nuluo’s air root was hard. I don’t know what material it was. He knocked on the wall. , A middle-aged woman said: “Half of her body has become fossils.”

She was a member of Parliament whom Opal had met before, and Opal nodded at her.

“Mother of Nymph…” Opal said, “She secretes milk?”

The middle-aged woman carried her skirt and walked at the end of the crowd. She said to Opal: “44% of the mother’s body has been petrified in the long history and integrated with this planet. We are about to board her branch, and then Go up and reach the top of the canopy, you will see her still spreading her branches and leaves.”

“After these shoots are removed, her sap will ooze out, which is the source of milk.”

People looked up at the height of the spiral staircase inside the air roots. Every hollow air root had refugees climbing. The migration team of 140,000 people was extremely magnificent. They walked for ten minutes to reach the top of the tree. People flooded in.

The branches extend in all directions, each one is as spacious as the streets of Liexing, and the interlaced parts of the branches build a platform.

Opal yelled below: “Hey! Raymond!”

Raymond had become a little black spot, waving his hand upwards.
