The Star Knight - Chapter 108
Falcon star is like a grand amusement park. Any celebration and arrangement of the Rottman family that you have seen before is nothing but a small one. The golden river flows outside Yingjie City, and the tour from all over the Empire almost fills the whole planet. This celebration is like a carnival, with bright sunshine on one side and colorful lights and endless fireworks on the other side.
The searchlights whirled among the cities, and the music played by bagpipes and falcons was heard everywhere. The flowers of eulogy sang in unison, and a female voice echoed in the whole star. Every five minutes, the 16 large space stations release daytime celebration fireworks, which bloom in colorful colors high in the sky and spin around the sky with colored smoke tracks.
On one side of the night, there are waves of meteor shower. Every five minutes, there are shining meteors all over the sky, turning into hundreds of billions of bright silver lines flying to the earth.
Opal only felt very confused, extremely confused.
Especially when he was still awake, he fell into a daze, and the ocean of music and flowers instantly flooded him. The welcome girls and beautiful men in the tarmac gave flowers, and put the local special Falcon feather feather hats on their heads, and more warmly came up to kiss him and Raymond’s lips.
Opal felt the wet lips coming up, and suddenly it blew his hair.
“Don’t do this!” “You are bullying minors!” opal said angrily
Raymond was also a little unable to resist this kind of enthusiasm, and repeatedly avoided: “OK, OK! We have business to do… ”
“Not to kiss him!” opal said
Raymond held opal in his arms, and they flew away.
When he got out of the tarmac, there was music, dancing, and flying confetti. Opal’s head hurt a little, and the music of the celebration clanged in his head. The two entered the city of Peregrine, where drunken tourists were everywhere, as well as colorful makeup parades.
Ramon went to the celebration office to report. Opal looked at a cart stall without expression.
“Would you like some?” The boss said with a smile: “delicious hand baked egg cake, condensed milk, honey and Seng Bing province butter, let you eat soft sunshine taste!”
“How much is it?” opal said
The boss said, “there are three flavors, 60 credit points for chocolate, 55 for lemon, and 70 for vanilla…”
Opal: I only have 37 credits. Can I have a half lemon waffle
The boss’s enthusiasm immediately cooled and said, “no way.”
Although opal still wanted to eat, after watching him for a while, he decided not to hypnotize him.
Bored to the corner of the street, he squatted down and noticed that the opposite side of the street was the atomic pool club, with beautiful lights flashing on the signboard. Inside came the excited shouting and the electronic sound of the scoring machine.
Opal seemed to feel that someone was looking at him. It was a pure intuition derived from faith. He had not met him for a long time. He looked around, but only saw the carnival crowd passing by. Moreover, the feeling was very short and disappeared in an instant.
After the third wave of revelry passed, Raymond finally squeezed out of the celebration office and sighed.
“All right?” Said opal.
Raymond sniffed, smelled the waffle truck, and said, “it’s delicious. Do you want to eat it?”
“Not enough money,” opal said
Raymond took another look and said, “I’ll try to…”
His eyes were full of apology, but opal was indifferent and asked, “no money means no money. What can I do? Grab it? Where are you going now? ”
“They’ve arranged an oak hotel for us, and we’ll have to wait for the announcement this afternoon, when they’ll go to the reception at white flower park and chat with people in the lounge,” Raymond said
Opal said, “can’t you withdraw the payment in advance?”
Raymond didn’t answer. Opal only said, “let’s go.”
Raymond and opal are planning to spend the last 37 yuan to buy something to play with. However, the price of Falcon star is so high that it can compete with the Republic of China. A top hat can be sold for 50 yuan on strong star and 500 yuan on white Falcon star. The price of food, souvenirs and entertainment facilities are almost not lower than 100 yuan.
It seems that opal can only buy a 30 credit point balloon with their money.
Raymond was optimistic and said, “when I finish the Commission and get the money, let’s go to the sea to have a meal.”
Opal said with a smile: “this is a good proposal. How much is the Commission remuneration?”
Raymond didn’t speak again. Opal didn’t know why he just wanted to laugh. He held the lamppost and was panting with laughter. Raymond was helpless. He remembered that he had to save money after getting paid because he had to buy fuel for spaceships.
What’s more, iszul’s credit rating in IRC is too low, which is directly related to their credit point purchasing power. The remuneration given by the Commission is 5000 credit points. However, after the evaluation is converted, it is only 2400 left in Raymond’s hands.
More than 2000, only half a ton of fuel.
“It’s not my fault.” Raymond said, “or can’t it all be me, you know, opal?””Well?” Asked opal, raising his eyebrows.
Raymond said: “it also has something to do with our low credit rating, because Colin’s knowledge tells me that the Republic’s credit rating is the highest, with a real one to one ratio, while the empire is only 0.75, but it can’t stand the fact that the empire is rich in resources and expensive. Heavy taxes, private land, and the skill of transferring inflation are much faster than the speed of each credit evaluation by IRC. ”
Opal nodded as if he understood something.
Raymond thought for a while and then said, “the financial seesaw war between the two regimes can only let the neighboring small countries pay the bills. For example, liexing, in order to avoid paying for the high consumption of the Empire, can only issue liexing coins to compete with the star credit points, so as to adjust the prices of the star. Employers can buy the credit points into strong star coins, and then issue a commission. The remuneration is converted back again according to the exchange rate of the credit point on the same day 。”
“But the emperor carltes coveted liexing for a long time. Like the previous time, he allied himself with Azeroth in order to make him cancel the liexing coin, and the currency was fully in line with the Star Alliance…”
They walked slowly along the road, but their hands were always together. Opal said, “what does that mean?”
“It means less credit points, and spanners are aligned with the Empire, so now mercenaries will get less and less credit points, like People are working for the Empire and the Republic. ”
Opal said: “the strong star is even, but why is the credit rating of the optical rotation grip so low?”
Raymond shrugged: “corolin just opened the lock-in state, low is normal, I guess he will probably solve this matter by force.”
Opal said with a smile: “yes, he is the same as you. Everything is solved by fighting.”
Raymond said: “I still hope he wins, so that he will have money. If I have money in the future, I will buy a small planet and do such activities every day.”
“Fried egg cakes every day,” opal said
They laughed together again, helpless and sad.
Ramon enters the Oak Hotel and book a room with the robot at the front desk. He is entrusted with food and accommodation. However, opal is not able to answer the single request, and the two still have to open a room.
The service robot reported that the rest room was full, only the public rest room. But Ramon wanted to reserve another bed, but there were too many people. Opal could only live far away from Raymond.
These trivial things annoyed opal. He wanted to tell Ramon that he didn’t need a bed several times, but how could he live without a bed? Finally, Raymond chose a relatively close robot and asked them to pay a deposit of 550 credit points.
So it stopped.
Raymond and opal both laughed at the front desk for a long time. Opal said, “if you squeeze, you may get into the bed.”
Raymond said with a smile: “go and have a look first This is a good proposal… ”
There are too many tours on the white Falcon star. Even the beds are very nervous. The sleeping cabins are covered with transparent covers. Raymond is tall, and there are not many places left when he lies in. Opal pushes in again, and the two play happily with children.
Hotel robot came to chase people, flashing a warning light: “please do not damage the hotel facilities, each bed can only sleep one person, will please go to the public lounge.”
Opal’s life has never been more embarrassing than this. Raymond thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have to sleep. I’ll sit outside the hotel…”
Opal said: “go back to the spaceship and go to sleep. Xiao Q and E7 are still waiting.”
Raymond said, “no, there has to be at least one person in the hotel waiting for the announcement.”
Opal was helpless again. In fact, he could go back to the spaceship to have a rest, but it didn’t make any sense.
Raymond remembered that the job was to cover food and housing, so he went to pick up the meal. As a result, the lunch he brought back was only ordered by a single person. He could only give it to opal.
Ramon was eating in the public hall without expression.
“I should eat less.” “You can eat it at the party anyway,” opal said
Raymond remembered and said, “yes, we’ll take a bag in and take it back to the ship to eat…”
When they thought of the party Raymond was going to, they were filled with expectation. Opal didn’t know whether he could follow Raymond in, but he made up his mind this time. Even if he was stopped by the guards, he would hypnotize and control them with the force of faith and eat a big meal. Otherwise, I can’t live this life.
“No. 172246 – bed – person, hello -” service machine humanitarian: “you have a takeout at the front desk, please sign for it.”
Opal:
Raymond:
They got up and went to the front desk. They found that it was a big box of three color egg baking cakes. They could smell the sweet smell across the lunch box. Opal’s saliva immediately came down.
Raymond said, “we didn’t order this…”
Opal’s focus is not on this. He immediately said, “do you want money?”
“The takeaway is gone.” A girl took over the position of the robot. When she saw Raymond, she was bright in front of her eyes and said with a smile, “he said he paid the money.”
Opal resolutely put away his lunch box and turned away.Raymond wanted to sign, but the front desk said, “no need to sign.”
Ramon was even more strange and came back and said, “who sent it?”
When Opal opened the lunch box, his eyes lit up and said, “how do I know? It’s a mistake. It doesn’t even have a name. Would you like some? Someone you know? From the employer? ”
Raymond thought for a moment and said, “the employer Maybe, maybe he just came out behind me and saw… ”
Opal fed Ramon a little, and Ramon said, “you eat, I don’t eat…”
Just as he was talking, the communication came again. This time, Raymond asked Ramon to go to the party. When Raymond came back, opal had just finished eating. He wiped his mouth contentedly and got up to follow him.
There was no special bus to pick it up. They took a long time to find the Green Wind Manor, which is located in the westernmost part of the city of Peregrine. Fortunately, they didn’t spend all of the 37 credit points before, otherwise, they didn’t even have enough money for the ride. Opal crowded into a group of strange alien tourists and said, “you can only walk back at night.”
Raymond said, “maybe you can ask Erlin for a fare I believe he will lend us some money. ”
The bus stops at a garden like fork in the road. It’s nearly dusk here. The Peregrine is waving gently in the wind. All the noise in the city is far away. Opal takes a deep breath and feels relaxed and happy. It’s really comfortable.
The people of the Empire enjoyed it so much that they could see the beautiful holographic projection before approaching the white flower manor. Countless illusory scenes were flying in the sky, sometimes gentle tides and sometimes flying green leaves.
“How can I come here now?” A middle-aged man was unhappy.
Raymond said, “I’m sorry. I’m here for the first time. I don’t know the way. Let me introduce you. This is my nephew opal.”
Opal knew that this must be Erlin, the employer in front of him. He was about to shake his hand and exchange greetings. However, Erlin said, “how can you still bring children? Are you here to play? Come on, this way. Make up first. ”
Opal wanted to thank him for his waffle, but the middle-aged man didn’t look at him, which made opal’s politeness disappear. Raymond motioned him not to be angry and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m going right away? And make-up? ”
The middle-aged man said: “of course, walk west from the moonlight path. Don’t be seen by the ladies. It’s very abrupt You can’t go in! Wait outside for your uncle’s work to finish! ”
Opal:
Raymond: —
Opal said, “I’m going to be an adult soon…”
“It has nothing to do with underage…” says Erin
Raymond said, “Mr. Erlin, I promise he won’t make trouble. Just let him in and stay in the garden. He’ll be alone…”
Middle aged man: “impossible! People who attend the party must have invitation cards. If I let you in, I will lose my job! ”
Raymond motioned opal with his eyes. This time opal didn’t understand. He was a little angry. When he raised his hand to hypnotize Erlin, he saw another man coming from the side and said, “Erin, where’s your escort?”
Opal immediately took back his hand. The man who came seemed to be a colleague of Erlin, which made Erlin’s face a little unnatural.
“I’ll be there in a minute.” “A few minutes,” he said
Raymond took opal aside and whispered, “I’ll try to find a way to get acquainted with someone who has some status, and then ask him to ask the master to let you in…”
“I’ll do it myself,” opal said
Raymond didn’t speak. Opal said, “I have my way to make sure there won’t be any big problems. Let me chat up with someone outside the manor. Maybe I can go in with him It takes brains to solve problems, says the adventurer’s manual, doesn’t it? ”
Raymond said, “well, with wisdom, you wait for my news.”
Erin took Raymond away.
Opal was still standing at the gate of the manor. Another young man came to take over Erlin’s position and supervised several guard robots. Opal turned around everywhere and found that there were electronic guards outside the manor, which could not be used to climb. So he went back to the gate and thought about how to get close to the person.
The young man seemed to see his intention and said sarcastically, “what do you want to do?”
Opal said: “Oh, don’t do anything. Be curious. The owner of this house is really rich.”
Young man: “of course, this is the house of Descartes Lord bill. I guess you don’t know who Descartes is.”
Opal noticed that he looked at himself with pity and sympathy, and at the same time had a faint excitement of meeting the poor.
“Who is Mr. Erlin from here?” “He seems afraid of you,” opal said
“He’s the junior housekeeper here,” said the young man
Opal nodded and said, “I guess you are a more senior housekeeper than he is.”
“You’re right.” The young man said without expression.
Just then a man came out of the manor and said to the young man, “sybils, let this gentleman come in.”
Raymond solved it so quickly? Opal is not ready to do something. Is it so easy?The housekeeper, sybils, frowned slightly, and then said politely, “yes, sir.”
This attitude also became too fast. It seems that Ramon Ba got married to a very good guy. Opal entered the manor and said to the man who came to release him, “what do you call it?”
The man said, “I’m just a servant. Your highness Baroque invited you in. Please follow me. We’ll meet him in the garden by the river.”
Opal followed him and saw a strong man talking and laughing with several women. His voice was loud, just like a fool.
“Ah, I have heard of it! I’ve heard about it! ” He exclaimed.
The servant took opal to the edge of the garden and did not go in. He made a “please” sign. Opal knew that this must be Baroque. He first went over and listened patiently to the strong man’s teasing of a group of women. After a brief silence, he said, “hello.”
The strong man turned his head a little strangely. Opal said, “very Thank you for letting me in. ”
Baroque said, “what are you talking about? I don’t know you. ”
“Baroque, you just…”
“Ah Baroque remembered and said, “is this the child? Whatever you want. ”
Opal said, “I miss me…”
“Your Highness’s friend asked him to let you in, sir.” Another girl said kindly.
Baroque said, “yes, yes, what about others? Where did you go again? I’ll find it for you… ”
Opal thought that Raymond should have gone to work, and said, “no more trouble. I’ll find him myself.”
“Well, whatever you want, whatever you want.” Baroque turned red and ignored opal. He said to the women, “Alex, that guy is like a beautiful little white face. He will never stop until the gene operation is perfect. His father doesn’t like this. The gene of Cartesian style is very important. Ha ha ”
” yes, ha ha… ” A group of women trembled with laughter.
Opal stopped interrupting. In a short moment, what did he hear from it? Was this man a prince?
At first, he thought his highness was a simple name. However, when Baroque said this, it seemed that his elder brother or younger brother was involved? And the Royal identity of carltes?
Opal began to understand. He pretended to get the food, and his ears were always alert to collect information.
But Baroque was not stupid either. He belched his wine and said, “well, why are you still here? Go out and eat. The green pine forest is more suitable for you children. Go
Opal nodded. The attendants waiting outside were human beings. Hearing this, he came in and made a gesture, politely asking opal to leave.
The place where Baroque and the women are is a private space. Opal understands.
He decided to go to Ramon first. Just now, when Erin told him to let Ramon walk westward from the moonlit path, opal asked for the way. From time to time, he listened to the guests’ conversation and went to look for Raymond.
On the west side of the moonlit path leads to a magnificent palace. The outside is resplendent, and the inside is full of transparent glass lamps. When Opal saw Erlin standing talking with a maid, he slipped past him quietly, went up the revolving stairs and walked along the carpet. As he walked along, he met Raymond, whose face was painted with colors.
“Opal?” Raymond said, “how did you get in?”
Opal said inexplicably, “didn’t you let me in?”
Raymond said, “I haven’t started delegating.”
“What make-up are you wearing?” opal cried and laughed?! What a fool
Raymond changed into a wide one-piece suit, half red and half blue on his face, a nightcap on his head, and a red nose, like a fruit ball.
“They made me play the clown.” “Talk to people about stars and destiny,” Raymond said
Opal said, “it’s just too It’s insulting. ”
Raymond shook his finger, his eyebrows moved, and he said, “I can’t eat with you anymore.”
Opal said, “it doesn’t matter. You’re busy. Don’t always think about eating.”
Raymond: you always want to eat. By the way, I met a man
“Have you started?” Another clown comes out of the room.
Raymond said, “it’s time to start.”
Two clowns carrying a stack of wide cards sidled up the stairs, opal always felt that the other clown’s voice was a little familiar. He hesitated for a second, thinking whether to use the force of faith to cut in, but he and Raymond left first.
Who is that man? Opal found that another clown was not as tall as Raymond. Raymond was in a red and blue one-piece suit, while the other clown was only up to his shoulder, dressed in black and white, just like the big trump and the little trump. After being genetically modified by Colin, opal’s memory has been blurred a lot. He vaguely feels that the voice sounds familiar and should be a mercenary.
Mercenary on a mission? Play the clown? It’s possible. After all, they are also entrusted by adventurers. Ask Raymond after the banquet. Most of the people don’t know Raymond. In other words, the memory of mercenaries on the burning star has been modified by spanners.Opal followed him down the escalator and was blocked by guards when he tried to enter the central area of the luxury hall.
“This is the VIP lounge. Which family are you from?” Asked the guard, dressed in khaki, politely.
Opal knew he couldn’t get in again. What a trouble He replied, “I want to go to the green pine forest.”
The guard said, “go east along the moonlit path.”
Opal nodded and had to come out again. He did not dare to look back, otherwise it would be too suspicious. Everything was a little suspicious this evening. He had not even inferred who let him in.
Go back and ask Prince Baroque?
Opal needs to sort out the information. When he comes to a fork in the road, he wants to go to the green pine forest to find something to eat, but he suddenly wants to go in another direction.
It felt like something good was waiting for him at the end of the road. It seemed that he could get happiness and happiness when he passed by. It was only a thought that he suddenly moved. The moment of existence was less than half a second. Even he himself did not realize 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 path. When he stops, opal sees a lake in the forest. The water is shining with a meteor shower. He immediately looks up and forgets what to do. His eyes are full of wonder. There was another man standing by the lake.
Under the trees, there are tables and snacks, and bramble wine.
Opal found that the man had been looking down at the lake. He took the wine and snacks on the long table and said, “Hey, friend, would you like some?”
“Wine is impulsive and decadent.” The man by the lake turned and said, “but I think it’s OK to have some occasionally.”
Opal was stunned. He finally knew who let him in.
“I I didn’t expect you to be here, old teacher Opal said, “teacher How do you Teacher
“I wanted to avoid you, opal, but you still found me,” he said with a complex look in his eyes
Opal rushes up and hugs Lecter tightly.
The author has something to say: let’s welcome the teacher back and prepare for the second switch.
let’s drown in the light of the atomic billiard genius Mr. rakert!
