The Star Knight

Humming, humming, the sound of the electric current kept rising, and the surroundings instantly lit up. Thousands of prisons glowed at the same time. The strong light was so strong that it almost blinded everyone's eyes. Countless small circles flew from all directions.

In an instant, the entire Lonely Star lit up, and the periphery of the star was covered with tangled blue electric lights.

Strange sounds sounded around them, as if directly affecting their thinking, like electronic sounds rather than electronic sounds. Opal could almost guess what it was—the automatic defense mechanism set off to capture the escaped prisoner!

The small electric arcs glowed brightly, forming a sea of ​​electric light one after another, covering the entire central area, locking all the phantom stars who flew away, and the vertical space of tens of thousands of square meters was full of escaping blue light, but it seemed that time had stopped Generally, it is firmly fixed in mid-air by countless magnetic fields.

"Wrench." In the public channel, Lily asked: "The lighting has been restored, continue with the original plan?"

"Go out the same way." The voice of the wrench said, "Ramon, what's the matter with you?"

Raymond replied: "The phantom star has been locked again."

Wrench: "There are still three hours before entering the gravitational field of the neutron star, and there are still 22 hours before the lonely star is completely swallowed by the gravitational field. You can retreat now."

Raymond: "Let's go, leave that way."

Opal: "Shenke, retreat quickly, is there a spaceship?"

Shane Ke said: "Yes."

Raymond told them to leave here, Opal turned around and stopped on the long bridge, Raymond said: "Do you want to stay?"

The soldiers of the Republic had left, and the central platform was covered with corpses. Harley didn't know where he went. The wounded and pirates of the Meteor Corps were groaning in pain. Opal said, "Will the wrench come again?"

Raymond said, "That's what he said just now."

There are still things to finish, Opal thought of the commission of the wrench vigilantly, what did Azeroth tell him?He pulled Raymond and said, "Stay and have a look."

Raymond thought for a while and said, "Leave four hours to run."

Opal: "Yes, I want to know what Azeroth asked the wrench to get, it must not be so simple..."

They jumped up to a high place, sat down where they could look down, and waited for the wrench.

Not far away, there is a phantom star bound by a magnetic lock. When the electromagnetic light lock is opened, all the phantom stars have shown their prototypes. This is the first time that Opal has the opportunity to take a serious look at their actual shapes.

A spherical light nucleus is suspended in the air, and countless electric arcs are rolling around the nucleus.

Raymond said: "Is this the prototype of the phantom star?"

Opal said: "Maybe, it's different from what we saw last time."

Raymond nodded, checked the time, and the two snuggled together, waiting for the movement on the platform below.

The interior of Lonely Star was restored to lighting, and all the cells seemed to be operating as usual. The sound of the electric current fluctuated, and a beam of light was cast from the central dome, shining on the entire platform.

"Can you talk to them?" Raymond asked.

Opal shook his head and said, "Hey, buddy, have a word."

The phantom star ignored Opal.

Lei Meng said in a deep voice: "I heard that the phantom star people are a group of guys that are difficult to deal with. And they are rarely encountered. They don't communicate with humans at all... just like creatures from another dimension."

Opal said: "I suspect that none of this life form is a thing in this universe...shh."

Wrench appeared with his men.

He was carrying a box, standing in the center of the platform, above his head, surrounded by phantom stars floating around.People from the Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group stepped forward to check the injured one after another, and stood around to guard.

"Everyone, hello." Wrench gave a mercenary salute first.

The surrounding area was very quiet, and Opal could almost feel that the attention of all life forms in the hall was focused on the wrench in the center of the light.

"I think we can communicate." Wrench said: "I came with the invitation of the leader of the fierce star, Azeroth, the king of mercenaries. If you don't want to communicate with me, then I will leave."

Opal frowned and whispered, "Azeroth knows the situation here?"

Raymond said: "It's unlikely. He just said that before coming here, no one knew that this was the territory of the phantom star people, and the interior of the planet cannot send communications to the outside world... What do you think?"

If Wrench hadn't discussed with Azeroth after arriving at Lone Star, then this should have been decided in advance.

Wrench said, "We have less than two hours, and I will wait here until Lone Star begins to enter the gravitational field."

In front of all the Phantom Stars, he installed a small device in the center of the platform, projected 36 sides of computing technology, and then entered a series of codes, the platform was filled with energy and slowly rose, revealing a tray.

On the tray was a small knife with a gold handle and red blade, and another recess in which a small spherical object appeared to have been placed.

But the groove is now empty, save for a pocket knife.

Opal held his breath immediately. He saw the wrench picking up something on the platform, but he couldn't see what was on it. Is that Nolan's relic?

"Stop your movements, human." The echo sounded in the empty hall.

Opal: "!!!"

Raymond: "..."

Several mercenaries raised their heads at the same time, wrenched their wrench and said, "Would you like to talk?"

Echoed: "What do you want to do?"

Opal narrowed his eyes, and recognized that the language used by the echo was not a common language of mankind, nor was it a phantom astral language. It seemed to be a kind of electric wave that directly acts on the thinking activities of the brain.

The wrench didn't touch the knife again, and said politely: "Our leader asked me to come and unshackle you, and hope that Lie Xing can become your loyal ally."

Opal: "Azeroth wants to buy these Phantom Stars?"

Raymond: "It's very possible...does he want to use them to fight against Cororin's allies? It's not easy..."

Echoed: "Allies?"

The wrench said: "The revolution started by Igna Nolan 2 years ago caused the phantom star to split. Don't you all want to go back to your homeland? To be honest, our human planet is in trouble, and now the phantom star is gone. It is no longer the phantom star 2 years ago, and your clansmen have been controlled by a human named Corolin, who broke the balance of the universe, did whatever he wanted, and wantonly destroyed."

Echo said: "This is not our responsibility. Since following Igna to come here, we have nothing to do with our home planet."

The wrench said: "Okay, that's all I can say. I thought that everyone who was exiled would want to go out and have a look."

The echo fell silent, and the wrench carefully picked up the knife and put it away in a box.

Echo said: "It's useless for you to take Nolan's relics away, it's just a commemoration of him. It symbolizes that he separated the past from his own soul and stored it here."

The wrench closed the box and said: "Even so, we can't watch it enter the neutron star's force field forever... This planet will be destroyed in a few thousand years, maybe it won't leave the force field next time. "

Lei Meng said in a low voice: "Wrench is indeed very smart, as expected of an S-rank mercenary."

Opal was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean? What do you think the knife will be useful for?"

Raymond said: "He can't convince these phantom star rebels, at least he can bring the knife back to Azeroth to exchange... Azeroth can use Nolan's relic as a condition to establish a certain relationship with phantom star. "

Opal: "But they may also come to snatch this relic."

Raymond said: "He must have another trick, you see."

The wrench released a group of small robots and began to dismantle the magnetic field generator in the cell, which is the most effective weapon to bind the phantom star, and the echo rang again.

"You don't know why Nolan came here."

Wrench said: "Uh... I heard that because of an unexpected coup, there will always be many small twists and turns in history..."

"Do not."

"This is Nolan's self-exile, the death and rebirth of his beliefs. All of us here, like him, are waiting for the final judgment."

"But there's no question he's over himself," Wrench said.

"He's not dead." Opal said suddenly, Wrench frowned slightly, unexpectedly he was still here.

Opal said, "I know he's not dead, he left for a while after he got here, didn't he?"

Spanner slightly frowned at Opal, looked at him questioningly, but didn't speak.

Opal appeared from behind the bunker and walked onto the central platform. He knew very well in his heart that the Star Knight was passed down from generation to generation, and Recter's ability originated from Nolan, so Nolan was Recter's teacher—and Recter His age is far less than [-] years old, so the only explanation is: Nolan only stayed in Lone Star for a while, and then left here to train Rector and build apprentices on Muse Star. palace.

Opal looked up at the Phantom Starman and said, "Why not seek the rebirth of faith in another way? Nolan can leave here, and of course you can too."

He vaguely noticed one thing - the power of belief of the star knights must have something to do with the magic star, and it has a lot to do with it. The magic star is good at mind control, so the ability of the star knights is most likely Cong Nuo It was passed down from Lan.

Echo: "You know a lot, you know Nolan?"

Opal knows that his thinking activities just now have been exposed to the surveillance of all the phantom stars. These phantom stars have lived for a full 2 years, and their abilities are far inferior to those of the dog legs on the Coronian mothership. Maybe they were there A few of them can set off a shocking change. If these old phantom stars are willing to form an alliance with Lie Xing, they probably don't have to worry about Corolin anymore.

Opal said indifferently: "Oh, I'm just talking casually...please feel free, everyone."

"Colorin?" said the echo, "is the name of your enemy Cororin?"

"Yes." Opal said, "Honey, let's go."

Raymond glanced around the high-altitude phantom star, turned around and left with Opal on his shoulder.

Echo said: "Release the lock mechanism, I promise to join you temporarily, but not now."

Wrench said: "You must promise not to make enemies with Lie Xing."

The cores of all the phantom starmen lit up at the same time, and the arcs imprisoned in the outer layer flickered, as if they were increasing their energy to suppress the electric waves they released.

"We need to investigate." Echo said: "If the situation is really as you think, according to the principle of ancient phantom star immigration, the Salama United Legion will agree to assist you and mentally suppress all our companions who destroy the stability of this universe. "

"Open the lock, human, you will never understand the meaning of my race's existence in this universe."

The wrench was silent for a moment, and said: "Then I will equate your reply to... Lie Xing and your Salama Legion have reached a friendly covenant."

"This is not consistent." Echo said: "Your life is too short. One day, when you know where the phantom race came from, you may be able to truly understand that our history is longer than yours. Now, release the imprisonment."

Opal and Raymond waited at the exit, hesitated for a moment with the wrench, then looked up, turned on the communicator, and said, "Kai, turn off the security system, you can retreat now."

With a buzzing sound, all the electric arcs gradually dimmed, and then disappeared.

There was a whistling sound, hundreds of blue lights flashed, and all of them disappeared.

"Is that all gone?" Opal said.

"Their speed is close to the speed of light." Wrench said: "It's far away now."

Wrench, Raymond, and Opal were silent, and Wrench said, "I hope I didn't do anything wrong."

Raymond said: "No, you did the right thing. I think this group of Phantom Star prisoners can help the Mercenary Kingdom a lot."

Opal said: "But do you think they will do what they say?"

"Except for human beings." Wrench said: "Almost all advanced intelligent life forms in the universe do what they say and do what they say. In many races, the word lying is not even used. Are you alright?"

Several regiment members brought a magnetic field generator over, wrench said: "We have to leave here immediately, go! Kai, did you hear that? Leave Lone Star immediately, and we will enter the gravitational range in three hours."

The passage is much brighter than when they came, Opal still said: "Even if their speed is the speed of light, it will take more than 3000 million years to go back to the phantom star..."

The wrench said: "No, they have their own way of passage. The Phantom Stars can freely enter the fifth dimension, but their travel time in the fifth dimension will be relatively longer than ours..."

Raymond said: "This time the harvest is not small."

The wrench walked in the front, and said as he walked: "Yes, we can disassemble a few of these magnetic field generators when we go back to research new and improved products, so that the Phantom Star lackeys under Corolin will have nothing to do with us... If it goes well If he does, he might be able to block all the mental disturbances of the Meteor King, you know...his hypnotism is too powerful..."

Opal reminded: "There is another Nolan's relic."

The wrench tossed the box containing the metal knife in his hand and said, "This is a windfall, do you want it?"

Opal: "..."

Raymond smiled and said, "I offer 100 million and transfer it to us? Opal likes this kind of little thing very much."

The wrench said regretfully: "Oh no, I can't give it to you if you want it any more. It is against the law to keep the harvest during the mission privately, and it must be handed over to Azeroth. If you like it, you can ask the king, maybe he will give it to you." I am willing to sell it to you at a low price, and I am willing to let you pay in installments, because you rescued his son, and it is obviously a good deal to exchange a son for a fruit knife..."

While talking, several people stopped in their tracks.

"It's another mercenary," said a low voice.

Wrench: "Yeah, it's the mercenaries who ruined your good deed again."

On a tarmac leading to the surface of Silent Star stood a dark gray Meteor Mech, lined up beside it, followed by six large combat robots.

"I made a bet with Harley." Zarke's voice said, "See which way you will go, and you will bump into this big fish."

Wrench whispered: "Everyone, prepare to break out."

The eight people held their weapons at the same time, and wrenched: "Raymond and Opal follow me, move!"

At the same time, Lei Meng and Opal finally saw the multiplayer combat power of the Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group, and even used a hand-to-hand combat team to forcibly challenge a mecha!Lightning flashed all over the ground, electromagnetic bombs and light energy bombs flew randomly, and the mech turned on its thrusters and charged at an incomparably fast speed, aiming directly at the wrench in the crowd!

In an instant, the flow of time seemed to become extremely slow. Opal drew his sword, and Raymond manipulated the long cannon to fire. One shot hit the mech's chest. After the earth-shattering explosion, Raymond and Opal guarded the wrench on the left and the right, Rolled on the spot and got under the mech.

The moment the mecha flew into the air, the three of them slid under it, swung the suitcase with a wrench, and the lid opened with a clatter, releasing countless vibrating robots, which were firmly attached to the mecha, emitting high-frequency vibrations.

The oscillating sound caused Opal's eardrums to suffer severe pain and nearly bleed, and his body was covered with dazzling white light. A light bullet flew over and hit Opal's wrist, causing him to scream.

There was a burst of vibrations in the distance, and Lonely Star finally entered the range of the gravitational field. All the cells spread out to the two sides, and were attached to the inner wall of the asteroid under the action of strong gravity. All the debris along the corridor flew up and spontaneously attracted to the two sides.

An invisible gravitational force forms a roaring sea tide, like a thousand troops ascending.

Wrench shouted: "Run!"

The next moment Raymond reached out and grabbed Opal, shouting: "You run first!"

His body was getting heavier and heavier, Opal hung his injured right hand, and swung his sword with his left hand to create an arc. A robot disintegrated and crashed in front of him. Gritting his teeth and carrying the door, he pried the alloy door open a crack.The wrench stuffed the bomb into the crack of the door, and the two turned around and swooped down, lying down.

Wrench: "Attention all units, activate the spacesuit immediately!"

The bomb exploded, and the ring-shaped sound wave of the concussion bomb blasted a big hole in the door. The wind howled, everyone shouted loudly, and were rolled out of the hole. Opal pressed his belt, opened the force field space suit, and suddenly felt a wrench. Something stuffed into his hand.

Before he had time to look down, he was swept out of the vacuum universe in a dazed state. When he flew out, his head was still bumped against the door, and his eyes immediately turned black.

"Damn! Wrench!" Opal roared.

"Leader! You're doing this again!" Kun said angrily.

The five members of the Twelve Nebula Mercenary Group were instantly thrown out by the space suction, and when they were in mid-air, they turned around and fired dense bullets towards the entrance of the cave.

The next moment, Lei Meng flew upside down, turned gracefully in the air, and used the force of this rotation to throw out an ax beam, and slashed away!

There was a loud bang, and the mech chasing to the door was hit by intensive firepower, and fell back again. With his left hand, he pushed out a defensive shield, just in time to meet Lei Meng who had adjusted his position.

Lei Meng turned the handle of the axe, holding the shock gun in his left hand, and said in a deep voice, "Go back."

Then the trigger was pulled, and the radiant energy cluster flew out, blasting the meteorite mech back into the lonely star. The flashing electric light on the entire surface of the asteroid was pulled into a line under the action of the gravitational field, and burst out from the mechanical groove on the surface of the planet. , like clusters of blooming fireworks being pulled towards the north and south poles, and then built into a huge olive-shaped power grid, which gets longer and longer.

"E7!" Opal yelled the comm switch.

Raymond held the opal in his left hand, fired a few shots one after another, and flew towards Era-VI with the help of recoil. The flaming red lips of Twelve Nebula's spaceship emitted tractor light, sucking the mercenaries in space into the cabin one by one.

More pirate ships and meteor warships chased after them and fired artillery fire at them.

Opal and Raymond fell into the isolation cabin, the airtight door was closed, pressurized, the inner cabin door opened, the two unbuckled their belts, and strode towards the console.

The sound of the wrench sounded in the communication channel: "Attention all units, the flaming red lips are escorting you..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a space battle between countless space jet robots and intensive artillery fire. Opal shouted: "Wrench! How about you!"

The wrench said: "It doesn't matter to us, you are responsible for taking the Future Lord back through the star gate!"

Flame Red Lips released the first wave of interference robots, followed by the second wave. In the dark space, thousands of stars flashed crazily, and the small self-explosive robots attached to the enemy spacecraft, sending out big explosions one after another.The pirate ship was in hot pursuit, only chasing the Flame Red Lip, but the sixteen propellers of the Flame Red Lip were turned on at the same time, and the speed was actually faster than the pirate spaceship, and it flew away in a while.

Xun said in the communication channel: "Call Times-VI and apply to return."

Opal was half dead from exhaustion, lying on the sofa exhaustedly, Lei Meng sat in front of the console to connect to the communication, Chao Xun said: "It's better to go to another star door, just in case."

Xun said: "Received, the future lord has set up automatic follow."

Raymond redid the route, turned around, and saw Opal looking at a small box.

"Why are you there?" Raymond asked.

Opal said: "The wrench was handed to me when I came out."

Raymond: "What do you mean? Send us off?"

Opal shrugged and said, "I think he's probably not so generous, he just wants us to bring it back to Lie Xing."

Opal poured out Nolan's belongings, and the knife landed on the coffee table with a clang, with a line of phantom star tattooed on the blade.

"Do you think it's going to be a mech?" Opal said.

Lei Meng heard Opal talk about this matter, he pondered for a while, picked up his knife and looked at it, and said, "Is it possible for this kind of thing to transform into a ten-meter-high mech?"

Opal nodded and said, "Yes, it's very possible. The teacher's mecha is just a bracelet, tied around his wrist."

The knife was only as big as Raymond's finger. He looked at it over and over for a long time, tried to cut the pulp of his finger flatly, and said, "It's not sharp."

Opal: "The phantom star said it was just a souvenir of Nolan... If it wasn't a mecha, then Nolan's mecha would never be found again."

Raymond put it in the middle of the coffee table and said, "But how do you wake it up? Do you want to keep it for yourself? This is obviously... bad."

Opal gave up this plan, and Raymond smiled and said, "If you really want it, how about I go to Azeroth and buy it?"

Opal said helplessly: "I don't think he will transfer it to us."

Raymond said, "You can threaten him with Xun."

Opal: "Then he won't transfer it to us! Wake up, wife!"

"You are the wife." Raymond smiled.

He held Opal in his arms and lay on his side on the ground. He hugged Opal from behind. The two lay quietly looking at Nolan's knife. Raymond said, "It may not be the machine you want. A, maybe it's just a weapon that can effectively kill the phantom star people, or it's just like what they say... the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual effect."

Opal hummed, threw the knife back on the coffee table, and said, "Forget it, even if there is a mecha, the two of us can't use it."

Raymond smiled and said, "I've never been very interested in these things."

Opal turned around lazily, looked at Raymond's handsome face, brushed his hair, and said, "I always wanted a mecha of my own, just like the teacher's, but it's not too big now. Interested."

Raymond looked into Opal's eyes and whispered, "Why."

Opal ticked the corner of his mouth cynically, and said, "Because I already got a robot, and this robot is obviously cuter than the mecha."

Raymond laughed, put his arms around him, and put his lips on Opal's.
