The Star Knight

Opal and Raymond each came out wearing glasses, Raymond went to IRC to receive the wages during the war, and Opal was talking to a man.

"Sunshine City is good." Opal said, "Go to Sunshine City and attend recruit training... Let me see. No, no, I don't smoke."

Forget it or smoke a little, Opal took the man's cigarette, took a puff, and coughed violently at the door of the IRC.

"You look like a mercenary?" The man smiled in disbelief. "My name is Karens. I retired from the Republic Army and came here to seek an errand. Can you take care of me?"

"Hey! What are you doing to him?!" Raymond came out with a displeased face.

Opal coughed and waved his hands, and said angrily, "I'm still C+!"

Cullens said: "What kind of military rank is C+ similar to?"

"You'll know later." Raymond said coldly, leaving the tarmac with Opal's shoulders on his shoulders. Cullens said, "Hey, wait!"

He carried a travel bag and said with a smile: "I don't mean to offend, may I ask..."

"Opal!" A mercenary shouted loudly, "Where did you go?"

Opal greeted them with a smile, and someone he knew came over and said, "Wrench is looking for you, he has been promoted to S-rank mercenary."

Opal chatted with people, stood in line outside the hall, and waited for the bus. Raymond was still as cool as before, and he simply answered "yes", "no" or nodded slightly when he exchanged greetings.

There was a commotion in the corner of the hall, and the police shouted: "Don't fight! Give me peace of mind!"

Opal asked the unknown mercenary, "What's going on?"

"There are more and more people coming to Lie Xing." The mercenary said helplessly: "Those who apply for political asylum, those who make a living, and those who come to do business... The king beat Cororin until he ran away with his tail between his legs. running towards us."

Cullens, smoking a cigarette, stood behind and smiled.

Raymond said: "This also means that Lie Xing will be more prosperous in the future."

"That's what you said." A person from another team interjected, "But there are too many outsiders, which will always cause a lot of trouble."

Opal said: "Don't say that. When I came here, the first person I met was Wrench. He told me that Lie Xing is very inclusive. I will regard this place as my hometown, right?"

He turned his head again, smiled at Cullens and said, "I hope you can integrate here smoothly."

"Thank you." Cullens nodded.

The car came, and the mercenaries got into the car one after another. The scenery on both sides of the road passed by, and there were construction robots everywhere. During the time when Opal left Liexing, the entire planet was successfully rebuilt. Seventy percent, it is almost impossible to see that they have experienced the baptism of war.

In this war, Lie Xing paid a painful price of 26 registered mercenaries, and Azeroth proved a truth to the entire Star Alliance with his blood and sacrifices—Colorin is not invincible, even if he is allied with Phantom Star, Possess a powerful mecha that surpasses human technological knowledge and a super aircraft carrier comparable to the Republic.

All his chances of winning were defeated in front of the god of war Azeroth, and he fled back to his territory with the few remaining warships.

The Empire and the Republic began to put the extermination of Cororin on the agenda, preparing to completely eliminate the dictatorship of Cororin in the near future.

The mercenary guild in Sunshine City has already opened, they are not in a hurry to pick up the mission, they first strolled around the shopping street, went to the weapon equipment store to buy earbuds, Raymond lost his long-handled axe, and wanted to change weapons, Ou Puzzled, Bo asked, "Is the long-handled battle ax bad?"

"I want...to stand in front." Raymond said, "I'm going to switch to a combination of a shield and a one-handed sword, so that when we fight..."

"Don't be kidding!" Opal said with a frantic expression on his face: "My great sword is a shield-type job, and you have also changed it to a defensive unit. How can two defensive units get missions? Besides, you can use shields and one-handed swords. Is it?"

Raymond said: "If you don't know, you can learn it. How about you use a gun instead and stand behind me?"

Opal said: "No, what a mess, you can't take my job!"

Raymond and Opal quarreled for a long time in the weapon shop, and finally Raymond had to give in. He thought about it for a while and said, "I'll try this."

The boss said: "This is imported from the empire. It is called a mass-energy impact gun. It is suitable for chopping, thrusting and long-range shooting. It is very powerful. The ground troops of the Second Army are equipped with this."

"It's a bit like a mortar." Raymond said, "I'll try."

The impact gun is 1.3 meters long. One end of the gun is like a heavy ax that Raymond used to use, with an electromagnetic cutting edge. Raymond weighed the handle of the gun, made a circle, and held the end of the ax with his elbow. Point the muzzle at the other end of the gun handle to the outside of the store, and lightly pull the trigger.

Opal thought of the weapons on the Kolorin Dark Mecha, which seemed to be similar to this one, and the power of course couldn't be compared.

Raymond was very satisfied with this new weapon, and said, "I want it. From now on, you only need to hide behind me, and the enemy can't charge us..."

Opal sneered: "Yeah, who was caught by a group of mad scientists last time for experiments..."

Lei Meng said seriously: "In the past, I just concealed my strength from you. You don't believe me? To tell you the truth, I just..."

The two came out of the store in a row, and Lei Meng said, "To be honest, I have never dared to show my strength in front of you, for fear of arousing your suspicion..."

Opal: "This statement is too vulgar, can't you change some other lines?"

Raymond: "You'll know soon, even S-rank mercenaries are no match for me."

Opal said: "I haven't shown my true strength either. The teacher said that as long as my belief is strong enough, I can destroy the entire universe..."

Raymond: "..."

Opal completely took Raymond's declaration as a joke.

Raymond said: "Go and accept the task, I'll let you see it."

Opal sneered: "Look at what? I think you only look aggressive when...that or something. In fact, you are a housework or sex service robot."

Raymond was greatly insulted and said angrily, "We'll see!"

Opal said: "Just wait and see."

In Twilight City, Spanner sat down in the open-air coffee shop, sighed and said, "Finally found you, three cups of original black coffee, no milk and sugar. I invite you today."

Opal and Raymond looked at the wrench expressionlessly.

Wrench: "Where did you go?"

Opal: "When I treat guests, you order Sphinx iced coffee. When you treat guests, I can only drink plain black coffee without sugar?"

Raymond: "Forget it, let me treat you. You leave after drinking the black coffee. Opal is so full of anger. I will have a hard time in the future..."

Wrench said, "It's good to have a raw drink once in a while...you two are finally in love?"

The corner of Opal's mouth twitched, the robot brought coffee, and Raymond lazily leaned on the chair, and said, "What? Do you have any experience to impart? For example, how do you usually coax your wife who loves to spend money..."

Opal: "Let's change the subject, it's really stupid to come to you today."

Wrench said with his sleepwalking voice expressionlessly: "Experience? Speaking of sex is something that requires technology, you can consider throwing away the fantasy paradise and try the primitive way without any auxiliary and electric stimulation. Experience unrestrained love nakedly, after all, the stimulation of machines is easy to cause burnout.”

"Assuming there is no fantasy paradise, you have to get together to study how to stimulate each other's prostate, how to find the appropriate position and frequency, how to mobilize the whole body, and how to fully enjoy the pleasure, instead of waiting for the fantasy paradise to pass the orgasm through neurons The exciting way is delivered to your door, why not find it by yourself, lovers can seek the tacit understanding of body and mind through these processes... Of course, the premise is that your physical condition is sufficient, I think you should have the capital to look down on others, Raymond, maybe Opal Not bad, will it be slightly inferior compared to you..."

Opal: "What has Azeroth said recently?"

Wrench: "Wang is very strong, and he must have good conditions, but I never inquire about his private life."

Raymond spewed out his coffee.

Opal: "I'm asking about the post-war affairs! Please, end this topic."

Wrench: "This war has brought us a lot of losses. Three S-level mercenaries are missing. Jamie sacrificed. Jimison canceled his mercenary diary and left Lie Xing, saying that he would never come back. The same thing Haitang also did it, because the dead Aurora Falcon was her younger brother."

Opal never expected such shocking news when the wrench opened its mouth.

"What about the others?" Raymond asked.

"Grey Wolf was recuperating in Rembrandt, and fell in love with a historian by the way. Poor Rosen continued to be the fifth son. I once thought Rosen and Gray Wolf would get married..." Wrench yawned and said dullly: "Urka is gone too, to chase after his pirate princess."

"Is there only one S mercenary left behind?" Raymond said.

The wrench raised his eyebrows and said, "I stayed behind with Rosen, you can't say that Rosen is not human."

Opal laughed out loud. Raymond obviously forgot about Wrench's advancement, and was very embarrassed. After a moment of silence, Wrench said again: "The number of registered mercenaries in Lie Xing has been increasing by seven hundred per day during this period. You see , are all foreigners, the recruit school can’t accept so many students, so they can only stay there for a while, and there are more than ten fights a day.”

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

"Dragons and snakes are mixed, and the Empire and the Republic have sent quite a few... It's not appropriate to say spies, but many recruits have political missions on them." Wrench said: "You understand."

Opal nodded thoughtfully. After the battle between Lie Xing and Cororin, the status of the Star Alliance was promoted. This kind of penetration is taken for granted. Not everyone who comes to be a mercenary has an adventurous spirit. It is estimated that the Empire and the Republic The underground personnel of the forces have infiltrated. "

"I'm leaving." Wrench said: "Thank you very much for saving me."

"You're welcome." Raymond nodded and said, "I wish you a long life, you always seem to be sleepy."

While paying the bill, Wrench said, "Recently, especially, the workload is too heavy, and I can't even accept the commission. I can't sleep well. Lily even quarrels with me. Being a man is really hard."

Opal looked into the eyes of the wrench, looked at his dark circles, and suddenly thought that the wrench had been caught by Corolin for a while, wondering if there would be some mental sequelae, and asked: "You have often had strange dreams recently. ?"

Wrench was startled, then shook his head and said, "No, I seldom dream, and even if I do dream, I can't remember most of them."

Opal said goodbye to Wrench, and after he left, Raymond said, "He doesn't think these two cups of coffee are a thank you for saving his life, right?"

"I think it's very possible." Opal said dumbfounded, "Hey! Serve some fresh milk and virgin flower candy! This gentleman will pay the bill!"

Raymond: "..."

That afternoon, Opal and Lei Meng went to the civil affairs office of the trade union in the City of Souls of War. The department for concluding marriage treaties hadn’t opened yet. The civil affairs office only had a dilapidated temporary room, and they didn’t provide registered marriage services. They said they would come back in 30 days.

Opal had to hang out with Raymond boredly, looking for their friends, Sid and Xun went out on a mission, Captain AE was not there, Opal remembered Sui Yan's funeral, and tried to contact Yin Jian—he was also not there.

They stood in the Sunshine City branch for a while, and decided to go out to entrust.

The survey of the ancient ruins received last time has been automatically canceled after the deadline, and the new round of commissions was picked up by other mercenary groups. The clerk said to a mercenary group leader from behind the window: "Be brave! Be brave! Lie Xing needs money!"

Lei Meng hugged Opal from behind, raised his head and said, "Go to the female star?"

The problem of the female star seems to be more serious. Opal remembered that the last commission was only to assist in the arrest of poachers. After a few cycles of magnetic storms, the level of this task was raised to B.

Reward 46 credits, and capture the leader of the poaching organization... Lei Meng murmured: "[-] points, go?"

Opal: "Four... 46 credits?! [-] points?! Are you kidding me?"

Raymond: "Strange? We are now a B-level regiment, and we need 800 million points to upgrade."

Opal: "This is too much!"

Lie Xing's entrustment was evaluated by the trade union, and it was only then that Opal realized that there were very few mercenary groups like himself and Raymond who advanced quickly, and most of them advanced steadily and slowly.

The B-level group is usually defaulted to be a team of more than 20 people, with a commission of 50 to 80 yuan for a commission, excluding fuel, consumables, food and accommodation, and sharing it with the members, each person is only [-] to [-] to [-].

Dividing the rewards of twenty people between two people is simply a huge profit, but the most important thing is whether it can be completed.

Or whether it can be completed alive and come back.

Raymond: "Go to the female star and have a honeymoon by the way, what do you think?"

Opal: "Are you sure this is really a honeymoon? I think we might be dealing with an army. Anything else?"

Raymond: "Honey, I can deal with an army of no more than 1000 people. You don't have to do anything, just leave it to me, and I mean it."

Opal: "..."

"Then next." Opal said: "You'd better not leave anyone behind. After capturing 1000 people alive empty-handed, I will... I will..."

Raymond: "Just play Fantasy Paradise for three days by yourself and let me enjoy it?"

The people around burst into laughter, Opal poked Raymond on the shoulder, and Raymond took over the task and took him to the shopping street for preparations.
