The Star Knight

The star of the Kestrel is like a grand playground. The celebrations that have been seen anywhere before and the arrangement of the Rotman family are almost nothing.The Golden River flows outside the heroic city, and tourists from all over the empire fill almost the entire planet. This celebration is like a carnival, on one side is the bright sun shining across the earth, on the other side is the night lights Fireworks that will never end.

The searchlights revolved around the city, the music of bagpipes and falcons rang everywhere, the flowers of the eulogy sang in unison, and a female voice echoed throughout the star.Sixteen large space stations will release daylight fireworks every five minutes. They bloom colorfully in the sky, dragging the tracks of colorful smoke to rotate in the sky.

On the side of the night is a wave of meteor showers, and every five minutes there will be a sky of shining meteors, turning into hundreds of billions of bright silver lines and flying to the earth.

Opal just felt very chaotic, extremely chaotic.

Especially when he was still awake, he fell down, the ocean of music and flowers drowned him instantly, the welcome girls and beautiful men in the apron sent flowers, and put the local special falcon feather cap Put it on their heads and kiss more passionately-kiss him and Raymond's lips.

Opal felt wet lips kissed, and suddenly burst into hair.

"Don't do this!" Opal angered: "You are bullying minors!"

Raymond was also a little unable to resist this enthusiasm, and repeatedly avoided: "Okay, okay! We have business matters..."

Opal said: "You are not allowed to kiss him!"

Raymond embraced Opal, and the two fled as if they were flying.

Out of the apron, there were music, dance, and flying colorful confetti. Opal was tossing his head a little, and the music of the celebration rang in his head.The two entered the city of Kestrel, where drunk tourists were everywhere, as well as colorful parades on the streets.

Raymond went to the celebration office to report, and Opal stared blankly at a cart stall.

"Come on?" The boss smiled and said: "Delicious hand-baked egg pie, condensed milk, honey and monk's butter, let you taste the soft sunshine!"

Opal Road: "How much?"

The boss said: "There are three flavors, 60 credits for chocolate, 55 for lemons, 70 for vanilla..."

Opal: "I only have 37 credit points, can I buy half a lemon-flavored quiche?"

The enthusiasm of the boss immediately froze and said, "No."

Although Opal still wanted to eat, after watching him for a while, he decided not to hypnotize him.

He walked boringly to the corner of the street and squatted. He noticed that it was the Atomic Pool Club across the street. There were beautiful lights flashing on the signboard, and there were excited shouts and electronic sounds of the machine scoring.

Opal seemed to feel that someone was watching him, it was a kind of intuition that was purely based on faith. It felt that he hadn’t encountered it in a long time. He turned his head to look around, but only saw the carnival crowd passing by, and it felt very Shortly, it disappeared in an instant.

After the third wave of carnival crowds passed, Raymond finally squeezed out of the celebration office and exhaled.

"Okay?" Opal said.

Raymond sniffed his nose and smelled the scent on the quiche, saying, "It's very fragrant, do you want to eat it?"

Opal Road: "Not enough money."

Raymond looked again and said, "I think of a way..."

His eyes were full of apology. Opal didn't matter. He asked, "No money means no money. What can you do? Do you want to grab it? Where do you go now?"

Raymond said: "They arranged an oak hotel for us. We have to wait for the announcement this afternoon. At that time, we will go to Baihua Manor to attend the reception and chat with the guests in the lounge."

Opal Road: "Can't I get paid in advance?"

Raymond didn't answer, and Opal had to say: "Go."

Raymond took Opal's shoulders, and the two planned to buy something to play with the last 37 yuan, but the price of the star of the Hayabusa was too high, and it had a fight with the Republic. A bowler hat was on the martial star. Fifty is on sale, and about 500 on the Falcon Star. Food, souvenirs, and entertainment facilities are rarely sold at prices below one hundred.

Opal seems to see that with their money they can only buy a balloon with thirty credits.

Raymond is still very optimistic, saying: "When I finish the commission and get the money, let's go to the sea to have a meal."

Opal laughed: "This is a good proposal. What is the commission remuneration?"

Raymond stopped talking again, and Opal didn't know why he just wanted to laugh. He was panting while holding the lamppost. Raymond looked helpless, remembering that the money he had gotten had to be saved, because he had to buy spaceship fuel.

Moreover, Iszul’s credit rating in IRC is too low, which is directly linked to the purchasing power of their credit points. The commission is 5,000 credit points, but after the evaluation is converted, only Raymond has left The next two thousand four hundred.

More than 2,000 points, only enough to buy half a ton of fuel.

"This can't blame me." Raymond said: "Or can't blame me all, you know, Opal?"

"Huh?" Opal asked, raising his eyebrows.

Raymond said: "Our credit rating is too low also has a certain relationship, because the knowledge of Caroline tells me that the Republic's credit rating is the highest, the real one to one ratio, while the Empire has only 0.75, but it can't stand The Empire is rich in resources and expensive. Heavy taxes, private ownership of land, and inflation pass-through skills are far greater than the speed of each IRC reassessing credit."

Opal nodded and seemed to understand something.

Raymond thought for a while and said: "The financial tug-of-war between the two major powers can only allow the neighboring small countries to pay the bills. Like Lixing, in order not to pay for the high consumption of the empire, they can only issue Lixing coins to compete with interstellar credit points. In order to adjust the price of this star, let the employers buy the credit points into martyr coins, and then issue the commission, and the reward will be redeemed again according to the exchange rate of the credit point on the day.

"But the emperor Carters has been coveting the star for a long time. Like the previous time, he made an alliance with Azeroth, just to let him cancel the star, and the currency is completely in line with the star alliance..."

They walked slowly along the road, but their hands were always held together. Opal said: "What does that mean?"

Raymond said: "Representing the reduction of credit points, the wrench and the empire are allied, so now the mercenaries will get fewer and fewer credit points, just like... everyone is working for the empire and the republic."

Opal said: "Let's forget it, but why is the credit rating of Xuanguang grip so low?"

Raymond shrugged: "Korolin just opened the locked state, and low is normal. I guess he mostly wants to solve this matter by force."

Opal laughed: "Yeah, he is just like you, everything is solved by playing."

Raymond said: "I still hope he wins, so that there will be money, and in the future, I will buy a small planet and do this kind of activity every day."

Opal said: "Eat omelette every day."

The two laughed together again, both helpless and sad.

Raymond entered the Oak Hotel and booked a room for the robot at the front desk. The entrustment he received was for food and lodging. However, Opal was a single entrustment without response, and the two had to open a room.

The service robot reports that the rest room is full. There is only a public rest room, and Raymond wants to book another bed, but there are too many people. Opal can only live far away from Raymond.

These trivial things annoyed Opal. He wanted to tell Raymond several times that he didn't need a bed, but how would he live without a bed?In the end, Raymond chose a relatively recent one. The robot asked them to pay a deposit of 550 credit points.

So this stopped.

Both Raymond and Opal laughed at the front desk. After a long laugh, Opal said: "Squeeze, maybe you can live in the bed."

Raymond smiled and said with a smile: "Let's go first... this proposal is good..."

There are too many tourists on the Star of the Falcon. Even the bed is very tight. The bed cover like the sleeping cabin is covered with a transparent cover. Raymond was originally tall. After lying down, there was not much space left. Opal squeezed in again. The two played like a kid.

The hotel robot came to catch people and flashed a light to warn: "Please do not damage the hotel facilities. You can only sleep one person per bed. Please come to the public lounge for the guests."

Opal has never encountered anything more embarrassing in his life. Raymond thought about it and said, "I don't need to sleep, I sit outside the hotel..."

Opal said: "Let's go back to the spacecraft and go to sleep. Little Q and E7 are still waiting."

Raymond said: "No, at least one person has to wait for the notice in the hotel."

Opal is helpless again, in fact, he can go back to the spacecraft to rest, but this is meaningless.

Raymond remembered that the job was for food and accommodation, so he went to receive the meal, but the lunch he brought back was only a single-served meal, and he could only give Opal without asking.

Opal eats in the public lounge, and Raymond looks blankly on one side.

"I should eat less." Opal said: "Anyway, you can eat at the banquet."

Raymond remembered it and said, "Yes, we take a bag in and take things back to the spaceship to eat..."

The two thought of the banquet that Raymond was going to, and they were full of anticipation. Opal did not know whether he could follow Raymond, but he made up his mind this time, even if he was stopped by the guard, he had to hypnotize with the power of faith. Control them and go in for a big meal.Otherwise, this day is really impossible.

"No. 172246-bed-guest, hello -" said the service robot: "You have a takeaway at the front desk, please go to sign."

Opal: "?"

Raymond: "?"

The two got up and headed towards the front desk, and found that it was a large box of three-colored egg baked cakes, and the sweet smell could be smelled across the lunch box. The saliva of Opal came down instantly.

Raymond said: "We didn't order this..."

Opal's focus is not on this, immediately said: "Do you want money?"

"The takeaway has already gone." A girl took over the position of the robot. When she saw Raymond, her eyes lit up and smiled: "He said he paid."

Opal decisively put away the lunch box and turned away.

Raymond wanted to sign, but the front desk said: "No sign is needed."

Raymond was even stranger and came back and said, "Who sent it?"

Opal opened the lunch box, and his eyes glowed immediately, and said, "How do I know? I sent it wrong, and I didn't even have a name. Would you try it? Is it someone you know? Employer gave it?"

Raymond thought for a while and said, "The employer...maybe, maybe he just came out behind me and saw..."

Opal fed Raymond a little bit, Raymond said: "You eat, I don't eat..."

The communication came again while he was speaking. This time he asked Raymond to go to the banquet. When Raymond came back, Opal just finished eating. With a contented mouth, he got up and followed.

There was no special car to pick them up. They took a long time to find the Green Wind Manor located on the west side of the city of Falcon. Fortunately, they did not spend the 37 credits before, otherwise the money for the ride was not enough, Opal crowded In a bunch of strange-looking tourists aliens, said: "At night I can only walk back."

Raymond said: "Maybe you can ask Erlin for a fare...I believe he should lend us some money."

The car stopped at the garden-like junction of Sancha. It was almost dusk here. The sky-drenched white falcon swayed gently in the wind. All the noise of the city was away. Opal took a deep breath and felt relaxed and happy. , It's so comfortable.

The people of the Empire would enjoy it too much, and they could see beautiful holographic projections before they approached Baihua Manor. Numerous unreal scenes flew around in the sky, sometimes the gentle tide in the sky, and sometimes the green leaves flying.

"How come it's not until now?!" said a middle-aged man.

Raymond busy said: "I'm sorry, this is the first time I come to the Star of the Falcon. I don't know the way. Let me introduce it. This is my nephew Opal."

Opal knew that the employer in front of him must be Erin. He was about to shake his hand. When he said a few words, Erin said: "Why do you still bring children? Are you here to play? Hurry up and go from here , Make up first."

Opal wanted to thank him for his quiche, but the middle-aged man didn’t look at him, and the slight politeness of Opal disappeared completely. Raymond signaled that he should not be angry and said, "Sorry. , Go right away? Need makeup?"

Middle-aged man said: "Of course, walk westwards from the moonlight trail, don't be seen by the ladies, this is very abrupt...you can't go in! Wait for your uncle's work to be finished outside!"

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

Opal Road: "I will be an adult soon..."

Erin Road: "It has nothing to do with underage..."

Raymond said: "Mr. Erin, I promise that he will not go into trouble, let him go in and stay in the garden, he will stay alone..."

The middle-aged humane said: "Impossible! The people attending the banquet must have invitations. If someone finds me letting you in, I will lose my job!"

Raymond gestured to Opal with his eyes. This time Opal did not understand, and he was a little angry. When he raised his hand to hypnotize Erin, he saw another person coming from the side and mocked: "Erin, you Where is the escort invited?"

Opal immediately withdrew his hand, and the person who came seemed to be a colleague with Erin, which made Erin's face a bit unnatural.

"Arrive immediately." He said, "A few minutes."

Raymond took Opal aside and whispered: "I will find a way after I go in, find someone with identity to get acquainted, and then let him ask the master to let you in..."

Opal said: "Let me do it myself."

Raymond didn't speak, and Opal said: "I have my way to ensure that there will be no major problems. Let me find someone casually outside the manor, maybe he can go in with him... Solving problems requires brains and risk The manual says, isn’t it?"

Raymond said: "Well, with wisdom, you first wait for my news."

Erin took Raymond away.

Opal was still standing in front of the manor’s door, and the young man came to take over Erin’s position and supervised several guard robots. Opal turned around and found that there were electronic guards outside the manor that could not be climbed. Then he went back to the gate and wondered how to get close to the guest.

The young man seemed to see his intentions and said sarcastically: "What do you want to do?"

Opal said: "Oh, don't do anything, curious to see, the owner of this family is really rich."

The young man said: "Of course, this is Lord Descartes Bill's mansion. I guess you must not know who Master Descartes is."

Opal noticed that he looked at his eyes with pity and sympathy, and at the same time there was a faint sense of excitement to see the poor.

"Who is Mr. Erin here?" Opal said: "He seems afraid of you?"

The young man said, "He is a low-level housekeeper here."

Opal nodded and said, "I guess you are a more advanced butler."

"You guessed it," the young man said blankly.

At this time, a man came out of the manor and said to the young man: "Sibers, let this gentleman come in."

Raymond solved it so quickly?Opal is not ready to do something, it is so easy?

The butler named Sybils frowned slightly, and then said politely: "Observe, sir."

This attitude has become too fast, it seems that Raymond Ba has become a terrible guy, Opal entered the manor, and said to the man who came to release: "How do you call it?"

The man said: "I'm just a servant. Your Highness Baroque invited you to come in. Please come with me. We will meet him in the garden by the river."

Opal followed, and saw a strong man talking with a few women, his voice was loud, like a fool.

"Ah, I've heard it! I heard it there!" he shouted.

The attendant took Opal to the edge of the garden and stopped going in again, making a "please" gesture. Opal knew that it must be Baroque. He first walked over and patiently listened to the strong man who had teased a group of women , It was just right when it was quiet for a short time: "Hello."

The strong man turned his head a little strangely, Opal said: "Very...Thank you for letting me in."

Baroque said: "What did you say? I don't know you."

A luxuriously dressed girl smiled and said, "Baroque, you just..."

"Ah!" Baroque remembered, and said, "This is the kid? You are free."

Opal Road: "I miss me..."

"Your Highness friend asked him to let you in, sir." Another girl said kindly.

Baroque said: "Right, right, what about others? Where are you going again? I'll help you find..."

Opal thought Raymond should have gone away to work, and then said: "I won't trouble you, I will go find him myself."

"Well, you are free, you are free." Baroque turned red and ignored Opal, and then said to the women: "Alex's guy is like a beautiful white face, and he will not stop perfecting genetic surgery. , The father and emperor hate this the least, the genes of the Cartesian style are very important hahaha..."

"Yeah ha ha ha ha..." A group of women laughed tremblingly.

Opal no longer plugs in, and what he heard from here in just a moment-could it be that this man is a prince?

At first he thought His Royal Highness was a simple title, but listening to Baroque's words, it seemed to involve his brother or brother again?And the royal identity of Carters?

Opal began to understand a little, he pretended to get food, his ears were always alert to gather information.

However, Baroque was not stupid. He burped and said, "Uh, why are you still here? Go out and eat, the pine forest is more suitable for you children, go!"

Opal nodded, and the waiter outside was a personal elite. Hearing this, he came in and made a gesture, politely asking Opal to leave.

The place where Baroque and the women were is a private space, and Opal understood.

He decided to go to Raymond first, and just after Erin said that Raymond was going west from the moonlight trail, Opal asked for directions, and from time to time listened to the guests’ conversations, and went to find Raymond.

The west side of the moonlight path leads to a luxurious palace, the outside is brilliant, the inside is completely transparent glass lanterns, the lights are bright, Opal sees Erin standing and talking with a maid, and sneaks past him. , On the spiral staircase, when walking along the carpet, it just happened to meet the colorful painted Raymond face.

"Opal?" Raymond said: "How did you come in?"

Opal inexplicably said: "Aren't you letting me in?"

Raymond said: "I have not started commissioning."

Opal couldn't help crying: "What kind of makeup are you wearing?! It's stupid!"

Raymond put on a large jumpsuit, his face painted half red and half blue, his head was covered with a nightcap, his nose was painted red, like a fruit ball.

"They asked me to act as a clown," Raymond said. "Talk to guests about interstellar and destiny."

Opal said: "It's just...too insulting."

Raymond shook his finger, his eyebrows moved, and it didn't matter, saying, "I probably can't eat with you."

Opal said: "It doesn't matter, you are busy with you, don't always think about eating."

Raymond: "You always think about eating, yes, I met someone..."

"Has it started?" Another clown came out of the room.

Raymond said: "It's time to start."

The two clowns carried a wide stack of cards past the stairs, and Opal always felt that the other clown had a familiar voice.He hesitated briefly for a second, thinking about whether to use the power of faith to cut in, but he and Raymond first left.

Who is that person?Opal found that the other clown was not as tall as Raymond. Raymond wore a red and blue jumpsuit, while the other clown only reached his shoulders. The costume was black and white, just like the dress of the big ace and the little ace.Since Opal was genetically modified by Caroline, his memory has been blurred a lot, and he vaguely felt that this sound seemed familiar, and should be a mercenary.

Mercenary missions?Play as a clown?This is possible. After all, they were also entrusted by the adventurer to ask Raymond after the banquet. Most of the people did not know Raymond, that is to say, the mercenaries on the martial stars were all remembered. The wrench has been modified.

Opal followed the rotating escalator and was blocked by the guard when he wanted to enter the central area of ​​the luxury hall.

"This is a VIP lounge. Which family are you from?" the guard in a khaki military uniform asked politely.

Opal knew he couldn't get in again, so troublesome...he replied: "I want to go to the pine forest."

The guard said: "Go east along the moonlight trail."

Opal nodded and had to come out again. He didn't dare to look back, otherwise it would be too suspicious. Everything was a little suspicious this evening. He hasn't even inferred who put him in until now.

Go back and ask Prince Baroque?

Opal needed to sort out the information. He walked to the bifurcation and wanted to go to the pine forest to find some food, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to go in the other direction.

It feels like there is something good waiting for him at the end of the road, as if walking past to get happiness and happiness, this is just his sudden thought, the moment of existence is less than half a second, not even himself Aware of the emergence and disappearance of this idea, but in short, he chose this secret path.

The dense path leads to the woods deep in the moonlight trail. When he stopped, Opal saw a lake in the forest. The lake shone with zenith meteor shower. He immediately looked up and forgot what he had to do. His eyes were full of exclamation.There was another person standing by the lake.

Under the tree there are dining tables and snacks, thorn wine.

Opal found that the man kept looking down at the lake and took the wine and snacks on the long table and said, "Hey, friend, are you here?"

"Wine is easily impulsive and decadent." The man by the lake turned around and said, "But I think it's okay to come occasionally."

Opal froze for a moment, and he finally knew who let him in.

"I...I didn't expect you to be here, old, teacher." Opal said: "Teacher...how are you...teacher!"

Rector's eyes were full of complex meaning, saying: "I wanted to avoid you, Opal, but I didn't expect you to find me anymore."

Opal rushed up and hugged tightly with Rector.
