The Star Knight

Opal finally couldn't bear it anymore and used hypnosis once, only to feel that it could really solve the problem.Straightforward, without any suspense, all troubles are over in one go.No wonder Rector said that he could not rely on this ability, otherwise he would be assimilated by darkness.

I don't know if that dark star knight thought like himself. This is an addictive ability. Opal decided not to use it again unless he was in a life-or-death situation.

At night, the sky was dark, and lightning was 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 Limestar 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. The Star Alliance divides each day into 24 universes. This is the work and rest of ancient humans before the Era of Light Basically, you need to sleep and rest every eighteen to twenty hours.

He bought a newspaper with a map, turned on the projection device of the E7, and sat in the corner seat to watch Lie Xing's current news and map introduction.Liexing is mainly engaged in the mercenary industry, and mercenaries are a group of people who solve cosmic problems. They are responsible for escorting businesses, accepting assigned interstellar adventures, reclaiming desolate planets, searching for missing people in space, and recovering cargo from wrecked spaceships.

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, the Republic and the Empire, compete with each other, and there are independent regimes on these asteroids. Occasionally, thugs here are hired to solve problems, spy on the enemy, or carry out assassinations.

There are also some dangerous planets to collect ores, plants and even biological specimens and so on.

This profession can do everything. Every day, thousands of commissions are sent from all over the universe to Lie Xing. They are evaluated by the Mercenary United Union and released to the mercenaries who are suitable to take over. The union will take a commission for completing the task.They either fight alone or in groups.Except for the twice-weekly magnetic lightning storm all-star vacation, the tarmac will be constantly flowing, and countless spaceships take off and land.

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

The central area is in charge of all tasks in the entire galaxy, and the commissions are dispatched from here. It is a belt-shaped city, like the belt of a fierce star, and the two sides of the equator are used for residential areas and other purposes.

With so much information pouring in at once, Opal is a bit overwhelmed.

The little robot came over with a tray, which contained tinfoil packets and drinks. Opal planned to save money first, and said, "No, thank you, I won't eat."

"That's free of charge." A woman next to her kindly reminded: "Burning Star Airlines compensates for the food of the guests stranded on the tarmac."

Opal immediately said: "Come back! Wait!"

The little robot spun back, Opal took the food, and the little box contained a warm, 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 ridiculed him as a country bumpkin, and some thought he was funny.

Opal asked the mature and beautiful woman, "Are you a mercenary?"

"Lily." She replied, "Twelve Nebula Mercenaries."

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

Someone in the front turned around and said, "Hey, man, I suggest you go back and forth from where you came from, for example, go back to take over your parents' company, or marry your girlfriend, or go back to Star United School. This is what you should do 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 Lie Xing now."

"Don't listen to him." Lily said with a smile: "You are welcome to the Ares Galaxy, but you have encountered the most troublesome time."

Opal nodded and said, "I've already discovered that this place is not very... friendly."

Lily said, "When you fit into Blazing Star, you're going to love it."

Opal said: "I hope, how long will the thunderstorm last?"

Lily said, "Two days, calculated according to the time here."

140 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 late, I hope the union can think of other ways,"

Opal understood that there must be tens of thousands of people here, that's why 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, wearing a blue spaceship technician coat, shook hands with him, and casually said, "My name is Wrench."

Very strange name, Opal thought, and the wrench said again: "Lily is my lover."

Opal nodded, suddenly realized something was wrong, got up quickly and said, "I'll change places with you guys."

The people around laughed again. Opal looked around and found that there was a logo on their necklines. He immediately understood that the people nearby belonged to a mercenary group.There were about a dozen people—twelve people, the Twelve Nebula Mercenaries.

Spanner put his arms around Lily, and Lily was sleeping on his shoulder. Opal read the newspaper for a while, and found that there was no government on this planet, only trade unions, and their stranded on the tarmac had already been in the news.

The newspaper also mentioned a mercenary king named Azeroth, and the kingdom...does have a king.

"He is only responsible for perfecting the rules of the predecessors, and does not interfere too much in internal affairs." Wrench put his arms around his girlfriend, and said casually: "Or not entirely, it is just a soul of Lie Xing, the strongest, double S rank Mercenary."

Opal knew that Spanner was also reading his newspaper, and only said so when he saw that he had been staying on the page where Azeroth released his speech.

Opal chatted with him: "Who is in charge of the management of this planet?"

The wrench said: "Political affairs are formulated and adjudicated by the presidium of the mercenary union. They are a group of inefficient guys. Recently, I heard that some imperial lackeys have sneaked in."

"A war is about to begin." A bald man in front said.

Someone echoed: "I hope you don't get involved. It's good to have money to participate in the war, but it's not a good feeling to start a war in Lie Xing."

Opal nodded thoughtfully, seeing Azeroth's speech mentioning that he would not join the Dark Star Alliance, he asked, "What is the Dark Star Alliance?"

"You obviously don't care much about current affairs." Wrench said dullly: "Kororin's power is getting stronger and stronger, 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, looked at the wrench with a frown, and asked, "What kind of person is Corolin? Is he strong?"

"Who knows?" The man in the front row interjected, "It came out of nowhere. It is said that he is a star knight, but I think his name sounds like the kind of long-armed and long-legged man from Planet Ekman." Yes, two-headed monster."

Everyone laughed, and Opal joked: "You can't discriminate against other races."

"Ah, you must be from the Republic. The citizens of the Republic are very free, democratic, compassionate, and know about racial discrimination. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kun." The man in front stretched out his hand without looking back Shake hands with him, he is a foolish ruffian.

Opal said: "I come from the Chiyan galaxy, which is ruled by the republican government."

"You dress like a country bumpkin." Kun said, "You don't talk like that. You're very personable."

Opal smiled modestly, turned the newspaper upside down, and asked, "How will Azeroth deal with that guy named Coroline?"

"Who knows?" Wrench said casually, "We will do whatever he says, start a war or join us, it's all up to him."

"But you said." Opal wondered: "He is not the ruler."

The wrench said: "He does not interfere in internal affairs, but he has the decisive say in diplomacy, because he is our king, he is just too lazy...Of course, he said that he was too busy to the public. Azeroth changed two times. Learn the Mercenary Code for the first time and sit back and watch it work...and if you become a mercenary in the future, you'll understand."

Opal asked: "Is he very strong?"

Wrench nodded thoughtfully and said, "Very strong."

"Captain, are you going to challenge him? Use your wrench?" Kun teased him jokingly.

Wrench said: "I'm not interested. I'm just a technician. If you want to go, you should go."

The team member next door to Kun said: "I heard the news from the Eternal Nebula that even the real Star Knight is not Cororin's opponent."

Opal's heart trembled again, they also know Rector?

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 who uphold justice. "

Opal wanted to hear the comments and legends about Star Knight, but they stopped talking and talked about the mission instead. Opal asked casually: "You just came back from the mission? Have you finished it? Did you do something? What."

Spanner twitched his eyebrows and said, "Go to Qingwei Wu in Tianma Nebula to resolve a local conflict."

"Those can't be called human beings." A bald man in the front row reminded: "Leader, if you say that, it's easy to be caught and looking for trouble."

The wrench said: "Oh, I was just talking casually. Life Genomics is going to open a plantation there. The local creatures always like to make trouble, so let's get rid of them."

Opal nodded slowly, and asked again: "Aside from these, what else do mercenaries do?"

"Sometimes it is to find someone... such as investigating a spaceship that has not been heard from, sometimes it is to investigate ancient ruins, and sometimes there is no purpose, to go to some planets that no one dares to go, and the investigation is suitable Not suitable for colonization..." Wrench said: "You will learn this, the premise is to live."

Opal asked again: "What method should I use to find a mercenary group that is willing to let me join? I have a spaceship, some combat skills, and a star map..."

"Listen." 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.

It was a tall man, taller than Opal, about 190 centimeters, wearing a black windbreaker, standing in a corner drinking a drink, carrying a very long weapon on his back, it was a long-handled large ax.

Opal has seen it before, and Rector once considered letting him use this kind of axe, but after trying many weapons, he finally chose the great sword that suits him best.

Opal thought that Wrench was about to express his opinion on the man in the black windbreaker, but Wrench looked away, as if he was just looking casually, with a sleepy look on his face, and said, "Listen clearly, kid."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall.

The people in the front got up and rushed towards the exit, and the people behind also got up.

Lily yawned, and lazily opened her eyes. People from the Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group got up one after another, and someone in front said, "The car is coming! Get in the car!"

The wrench said to Opal: "Spaceships, skills, these are secondary. The key lies in the spirit—becoming a mercenary, not fearing the unknown, overcoming all difficulties, and the adventurous spirit and courage to advance despite difficulties. With them, you can Don’t be afraid to find a team that suits you.”

"That's really good, baby." Lily laughed.

Wrench laughed languidly, took Lily's hand, Opal nodded thoughtfully, and the crowd surged toward the exit, heading for a ride off the tarmac.

There were more and more people, and Opal was squeezed at the end, separated from the Twelve Stars. Wrench was the first person he met after coming to Lie Xing. As a technician, he was actually the head of a mercenary group. Opal said loudly: "Nice to meet you! Wrench!"

A wrench hand stuck out from the crowd and waved it without looking back.

Opal is at the end of the flow of people. Visitors from a foreign land can never follow them. What is the next step?First go to the city to find a place to live.

Opal put the E7 in his backpack, looked up at the map near the exit, and there was an advertisement of the genetic company scrolling beside it: [Still worried that you can't find your beautiful spouse?Gene extraction and ancestral synthesis, so that you don't have to endure daily quarrels in love, avoid huge wedding 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, and the corresponding longitude rises along the latitude, and there are residential areas with different styles.

There is no sea in Liexing, and all the liquid water gathers are lakes. Each lake is close to the size of a city. Opal walked and watched, but the people behind couldn't stop pushing him, pushing him out of the apron hall.

The wrench had gone nowhere. As soon as they came out, the storm was overwhelming, and the thunder was deafening. The lightning seemed to be less than a hundred meters above their heads. As far as the eye could see, there were white lights flying everywhere.

Opal was drenched by the rain, and hurriedly escaped from the crowd to hide from the rain, surrounded by chaotic people. At this moment, he suddenly noticed a person standing outside the exit—the man in the black windbreaker he had seen earlier.

He was carrying a mechanical long-handled ax on his back, and a combination suitcase was placed at his feet, his gloomy side face looming in the white light of lightning.He is not good-looking, but has a very good taste, with a high nose bridge, rainy eyebrows, and a metal pipe that Opal has never seen before, with faint smoke coming out of the pipe head.

"Hey! Don't smoke there—!" the police yelled, "Go over there and queue up for the bus! Hurry up! There's only one bus left!"

The man put away the metal pipe, and Opal went back to line up, unable to bear the observation method taught by Rector to analyze this man.He wasn't a tourist, and he probably wasn't a mercenary either. Wrench noticed him just now.

This person may have come on a public voyage spacecraft. He doesn't have his own spacecraft, otherwise he wouldn't be carrying a suitcase.He also came to look for a job?

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

"A new recruit?" Someone smiled at Opal kindly: "Welcome to be a mercenary! Hold on!"

Opal smiled and said, "Thank you."

The strangers said hello and got into the car with the crowd. The police yelled one by one in 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 looking for a job! Where are you going!"

There was another thunderclap.

Opal said: "Go to the city! There is a trade union office!"

Policeman: "This is full of cars going to the city! Every city has a union office! Which city are you going to!"

Opal: "Where did it arrive?!"

Policeman: "Du, get off at the gate of the trade union—!" He pushed him vigorously and said, "Don't delay any longer!! Let's go!"

This is a large shuttle bus with hundreds of seats. More and more people are getting on the bus. Everyone is fastening their seat belts. The man in the black windbreaker actually got on the same bus as Opal. , He took down the big ax behind his back and leaned against the window.

There were many people in the car looking at him. The tour bus was full, and it bent out close to the ground, passed through the thunder and thunder, and flew to the end of the road shrouded in dark clouds with a white wave.
