The tour bus was still driven by human hands, and the sky and the earth were pitch black. The tour bus shuttled back and forth in lightning, sometimes flying up in the air, and sometimes landing in a close call, like a swimming fish.
However, the people in the car were bumped very badly, especially for the Opal who arrived for the first time.
When the car finally stopped, Opal was pale and almost vomited.
"I wish you a long life!" the driver shouted: "Arrived at your destination safely!"
Opal didn't even know where he was. He only saw a gray central square. The house was very old. When he walked to the edge of the platform, the mercenaries went out one after another, so Opal followed the crowd.
Opposite the gray-black street is a retro building, only three or four stories high, and in the distance is an alloy lightning rod that stands upright in the sky, spreading out thousands of branches, shining in the lightning, attracting people from all directions, between heaven and earth. Crazy thunder and lightning, like a towering thunder tree, forming a spectacular spectacle.
"Excuse me... ah?" Opal suddenly found that no one was there in an instant.
The mercenaries didn't know where they went, but they walked cleanly at once, and the vehicles drove away one after another. Opal understood that these were the vehicles of the mercenary union.
And he doesn't have a car!
In less than five minutes, there were only two people left on the street: Opal and the black trench coater.
"Hello." Opal is almost certain that he is not a mercenary.
The black windbreaker was bumped all the way, and his face was not very good, so he nodded.
It was raining heavily outside. Opal walked to the building that sheltered from the rain. The door was tightly closed, and the temperature dropped. Opal stretched out his hand and said in the thunder, "Are you here alone?! Make friends!"
The black trench coat looked at him for a moment, and said politely, cautiously, "Let's think of a way to get out of here first."
Lightning flashed across the zenith, Opal probed the long street, and the outside was empty.
"I said, man," Opal said. "Do you know where there's a hotel to stay?"
The black trench coat was holding a metal pipe, the smoke dispersed, and he waved his hand: "I'm also a foreigner, I don't know."
"My name is Opal." Opal said, "How about you?"
The black trench coat did not answer.
Suddenly someone outside the door shouted, "Are you taking a car?"
Opal immediately said: "Wait! Great!"
He ran out of the street in the rain and asked, "Is there a charge?" The two met each other, and Opal was startled, and found that it was the young man in the airport who was going to pit him for 3,000 when washing a spaceship - Xun.
Xun said loudly: "Of course! Where are you going? One hundred yuan in the car!"
Opal said: "Do you know where there is a hotel?"
Xun replied: "Take you there! Add another twenty!"
Opal didn't want to be tricked by this guy even in the rain, and said, "Forget it, it's too expensive!"
Anyway, since he is here, it proves that there are occasionally cars passing by.
Xun said loudly: "There is a magnetic storm outside! You fucking hillbilly, wait here for three days!" He said Bi and drove away.
Opal made a rolling gesture and returned to the gate of the Mercenary Union. There were no more cars on the long street.
After nearly an hour, the car drove back and said quickly, "Get in the car! You can't wait! There are no taxis now!"
Opal reluctantly got into the car, gave up a seat, and looked sideways at the tall man in black trench coat at the entrance of the mercenary union, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Get in the car!" Xun yelled at him: "Are you fucking pretending to be cool there?! Don't leave and wait for the lightning to kill you!"
The man put away his cigarette, crossed the mechanical axe as he got in the car, and said, "Thank you."
As soon as his tall stature squeezed in, the compartment immediately seemed very narrow.
Xun drove a broken car and scolded, and Opal said, "Can you be quiet? What do you do? Driving a taxi or washing a spaceship?"
Xun said angrily: "Do anything, just do it to make money."
Opal said casually: "You won't sell us to some mess."
Xun said: "As long as I give money, I still have principles, understand?"
Opal said: "Your principle is money."
Xun replied: "Yes, here we are, I wish you a long life and pay the bill."
After driving for less than three minutes, the car stopped in a small alley. The alley was filled with small bars and hotels, and the colorful lights flickered.
Opal exploded in an instant, roaring: "There are only two streets!"
Xun said: "Two streets are also roads, give me money."
Opal really had nothing to say. He was unfamiliar with his life, and the little good impression he had built up on this planet disappeared immediately under the corruption of Xun.
Opal took out his card and said, "I paid for him."
Xun said, "One hundred and two per person."
The man in black held his weapon in one hand and said, "You didn't say you wanted money just now, I thought it was free."
Opal instantly felt a chilling murderous aura, what did the man in black want to do? Want to fight? !
Xun was not afraid of him at all, and said: "The tavern is full of mercenaries. As long as I shout, someone will come out immediately. People from other places, don't try to be wild in the country of mercenaries."
In an instant, Opal hardly saw the man in black moving, and the mechanical axe was already on Xun's neck. Opal couldn't even tell how he did it. How could it be possible to turn the one-meter-and-a-half-long axe handle in this small space? !
"I'm sure I can cut off your head before you shout." The man in black said casually, "If you know the person, open the door."
Xun looked at him coldly, and Opal suddenly felt gloating in his heart, and immediately thought something was wrong, what if this man really did something? !
The young man was very stubborn, and Opal almost had a premonition that blood would really splash on the carriage next, and he immediately said, "Forget it, open the door and I'll give you the money."
The door opened, and the man in black put the axe and got out of the car. Opal said, "I'll give you one hundred and two. Don't be so stubborn in the future."
Xun looked at the man in black coldly and said, "You fucking wait for the young master!"
The man in black didn't look back and entered the only hotel in the bar street.
Opal crossed the card and quickly said from a distance, "Hey!"
Opal said: "What do you want to do!"
Xun scolded a swear word and said, "Hill bumpkin, remember to tell the boss that Xun brought you here!"
Opal went into the store to stay, the space inside was unexpectedly spacious and clean, he put down his things while looking around, and said to the boss: "Xun brought me here."
There was a pool of water on the carpet at the front desk. The boss sat behind the bar to watch a holographic TV program and said, "I'll give you a 20% discount, from an alien planet? Stay twenty-four a day, hot water, and an ID card for registration."
Opal gave him the card, and the boss didn't even bother to look at it and scribbled it, and replied, "The second room on the left on the third floor, eat at the Cuckoo Bird Restaurant opposite, and pay for it yourself."
Opal asked, "When will the union open?"
The boss glanced at him sideways, sized him up, and said, "You're new here, aren't you here to find someone?"
Opal said: "Being a mercenary."
The boss said casually: "Go to the trade union consultation office on the new Monday. Our calendar here is seventy-two hours a day, fourteen days a week. Magnetic storms come on time on the thirteenth and fourteenth week of the week, and the whole city is closed. There are ten times a year. A week, no month, without using the cosmic year calendar formulated by the Covenant, I wish you a good life and a long life."
Opal was about to go upstairs with his bag on his back, but suddenly he turned around and asked, "I wish you a long life and a hundred years is the greeting here?"
The boss said: "Isn't the only wish of the mercenaries to live a hundred years? Of course, this is just a false point. You can replace a hundred years with a thousand years or a long life."
Opal didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked up the stairs to the third floor and saw the water stains left by the black trench coat on the corridor. He pushed the door and entered the room.
There are almost no facilities in it, only a large bed. Opal is already exhausted. Go to the bathroom. There are the same bathing equipment as the spaceship. After pressing the button, the anti-gravity system rolls the water to form a suspended vortex, massages and washes the whole body. , Opal took a bath and felt comfortable. Lying on the big bed, he suddenly felt a strange sense of loneliness.
E7 came out of his backpack and climbed up against the metal bedside table, and Opal said, "I'll sleep, E7."
He touched left and right on the bed, but couldn't find the light button, and finally said loudly: "Turn off the light!"
The room fell into darkness, the curtains were closed, blocking the lightning and thunder outside the window, the sound insulation effect was very good, and the world fell into silence.
A tired opal slept through his first night in the star.
Ten hours later, when it was still dark, Opal got up to wash, straighten his messy hair, and push the door to go out to eat.
The magnetic storm was still raging outside. Opal crossed the opposite alley in the rain, and there were far fewer mercenaries in the tavern and restaurant. He glanced at the menu and ordered a set meal—Dick Beast Steak and Iris Wine, a specialty of Strong Star.
The food supply here is transported by the other two planets. One is larger than the strong star and has a diameter of about 200,000 kilometers. It is responsible for planting and cultivating all crops, while the other mining star is very small. Mainly supplying energy and industry, the factories on the planet are day and night, producing industrial consumables for the mercenaries - including alloys and spacecraft repair materials.
The energy on the main star is those large lightning rods that Opal sees. They collect the energy of the magnetic storm twice a week and convert it into electricity in the battery for the entire star to use.
"I wish you a long life." The waitress put the plate in front of the opal.
Opal said: "Thank you, and I wish you eternal youth."
After the waitress returned to the bar, she smiled sweetly, with a girl's blush on her face, and lowered her head to wipe a cup.
Opal looked up at the three-dimensional image while eating steak. The projection behind the bar showed the Republic's space TV, which contained news about a riot, and a small spaceship was suppressing a civilian riot on a certain planet.
"Do you mind if I change the table?" the waiter asked with a smile.
Opal said: "Oh of course I don't mind, please."
The waitress switched to the entertainment station, where a handsome man in military uniform was singing. His voice, Opal, was instantly recognized as the opera prince Ledgerson.
She looked at Ledgerson on the projection fascinatedly, with an intoxicated teenage smile on the corner of her mouth. The opera prince is handsome and attractive, and his singing voice is more hypnotic and magical. The neutral and beautiful face is matched with the heroic imperial military uniform.
"He's more beautiful than a woman." The waitress laughed.
"Yes." Opal's eyes were almost reluctant to look away from the projection. His singing flowed naturally in his ears, as if it could evoke something in his heart... What was that feeling
A resonance of the soul is not sung to the ears, but to the heart.
"Youth is a fleeting dream, when you wake up, it's long gone..."
A burst of noise aroused Opal's attention. He turned his eyes to the street outside the restaurant. A black shadow jumped to the ground, and then swept past like a wind. He glanced sideways into the restaurant as he passed by.
At a glance, Opal recognized that it was the man in the black trench coat who was in the same car as him yesterday.
What is he doing? !
Immediately after, another car followed, chasing the man, and shouted in a loud voice, "Don't let him run away!"
Are you fighting? Xun brought people to seek revenge. Sure enough, he couldn't swallow his breath yesterday. Several mercenaries chased the man in the black trench coat. Opal immediately grabbed the drink and rushed out of the restaurant, shouting: "Hey! Wait!"
The five mercenaries plus Xun chased the man in the black trench coat out of the street. The man in the black trench coat ran into a narrow path, and there was no way to go behind him.
Xun shouted loudly, holding an electrified iron rod, while the rest of the mercenaries held weapons and watched the man. A fight is inevitable.
Six-on-one, Opal was on the other side of the alley, and five mercenaries stopped behind them and said, "What's wrong?"
"Don't meddle in your own business!" Xun said impatiently, "Otherwise I'll fight you!"
It’s okay not to say it, as soon as I said it, Opal was aroused by rebellious psychology, and it’s okay to have more people bullying less people, so arrogant? He couldn't help but wanted to help the man in the black trench coat, and immediately pulled out the mechanical sword behind him.
"Yoha." Xun turned around and said sarcastically, "You want to do it too?"
Opal said: "Don't bully outsiders."
As soon as he said that, the five mercenaries behind him all laughed and said quickly: "I haven't settled with you for what happened that day. It's just right, let's beat them together!"
The man in the black trench coat stared at Opal, his arms were turned behind his waist, his hands were interlaced, he held the long-handled axe firmly, and said coldly, "What's your name?"
After Opal drank the drink, he threw the cup away, and the great sword was slanted on the ground, holding the hilt in both hands and turning it upside down.
A thunderstorm flashed across the ceiling, reflecting the wet eight people in the alley. Opal said, "My name is Opal."
"My name is Raymond." The man in black said, "How many can you solve?"
Opal turned his neck and said, "Leave it all to me, you can go."
"Don't talk nonsense! Do it!" Xun roared.
The eight people started at almost the same time! The rain that fell from the sky condensed in the air, flashing white light of thunder and lightning, and Raymond's long-handled axe swept across, and the axe's blade splashed broken water droplets.
The five mercenaries are divided into two teams, one team contains Opal, and the other team rushes towards Raymond!
At the same second, Opal swung his big sword, and there was a loud noise, sticking to the long stick of Xun's hand, which was swaying with electric light. His physical strength was extremely strong. The shoulder hit and flew straight out.
Opal kept his hand, just knocked his weapon into the air and stopped chasing him. Another mercenary realized that this man was not easy to mess with, he flashed his wrist shield with his backhand, and slammed into Opal with a loud shout!
Shield Strike! For the first time, Opal didn't dare to come across this kind of move, so he pulled back and held the sword to block it hard. After a few times, the force surface of the alloy shield was narrow, and it collided with the body, which could not be cracked in a hurry.
On the other side, Raymond let out a loud shout, and the axe handle was swept away. The axe blade and the long handle had both slashing power and the might of the long stick to force the other three mercenaries away. The mercenary's shield was dragged backward, and the man and the shield were thrown at his companion! Another blast of thunder sounded, Opal and Raymond stood side by side, cooperated with each other, and each used weapons to bring down all the provocative people.
Raymond put away the long-handled axe, and was about to say something when electronic noises sounded in all directions.
"Put down your weapons."
"The fight in the city violated Article 117 of the Fierce Star Law, immediately put down your weapons..."
The disc robots that were attached to the ground surrounded them, and there were more and more dozens of them. The color of the opal changed, and Raymond immediately said: "Run!"
Opal: "… "
Raymond turned around and rushed out of the street, followed by Opal. Lie Xing had a large gravity coefficient. After a fierce battle, he was a little out of breath when he ran again.
Opal: "Where are you going?"
Raymond: "This way!"
"Warning, warning. No needless resistance."
The disc robot quickly caught up, and an electric arc flew out, causing Opal to cry. Raymond rushed up the steps of a building and swept across the long-handled axe. The loud bang swept out a shock wave. The glass windows of the two floors shattered into powder and sprayed inward.
Opal: "You!"
Raymond dragged him, the two jumped into the house, knocked over a piece, and rushed out from another window, Opal still twitched when he landed, and then shouted: "Be careful!"
The two bowed their heads, Opal crossed the long sword, sucked and pulled the electric arc shot by the disc robot, and slapped the ground. An electric light scurried along the long street with water, covering the entire street.
Raymond said, "This way!" Without even looking, he slashed open the back door across the street with an axe, ducked in, closed the door, and the two stumbled across the corridor and entered a hall.
The lights came on, and hundreds of disc robots entered from the windows, gates, and skylights on the roof, enveloping the entire hall.
"Put down your weapons immediately! You have violated the law and order!" A serious voice sounded.
"huh...huh...
..." Opal was exhausted.
Raymond was speechless and had to put down his axe. Opal threw the sword and fell on the chair in the hall gasping for breath.
"You're so brave, you actually ran into the mercenary union." The policeman appeared and said coldly, "Raise your hand!"
Only then did Opal notice that the two were in a panic and rushed into the mercenary trade union office.
Three hours later, the Detention Department of the 179th Division of the Liexing Police Station.
Police: "Name."
Opal: "Opal."
Police: "Identity."
Opal: "Red Flame Galaxy, technical advisor of Horrens Mining Company."
Police: "What are you doing here?"
Opal: "Be a mercenary."
The police looked up at him, and Opal said, "I'm innocent. They fought openly on the street, six beat one..."
The policeman said: "Don't be verbose, we have robot video."
Opal said, "When can I go out?"
The police ignored him and got up and left after recording the statement.
So Opal began to squat. Lie Xing's detention center is not very crowded, and the law and order is still very good. The local people basically don't make trouble, and sometimes they go to other planets to settle their grievances privately. It is rare to arrest two foreigners. . Three meals are served as usual, the food is good, there is TV to watch, a small bed, and a toilet.
Opal looked up at the projection TV, which was the speech of the mercenary king Azeroth, like a middle-aged uncle, full of beards on his face, but his eyes were very warm and pure.
After an unknown amount of time, Opal was half asleep in the prison, and the police came over and said, "Hey, you can go out."
Opal said: "Let me go?"
The police said: "Your circumstances are relatively minor, and you will be fined one thousand strong stars. Be careful in the future, don't participate in street fights again, you will know the rules after staying here for a long time."
Opal said, "Where's my friend?"
The policeman said casually: "He has already left, fined 10,000 strong star coins, and temporarily released on bail."
Opal walked out of the police station, the sky was clear, and the shallow water on the street had receded. There were public cars of mercenaries everywhere. When they came, they were escorted to the police car. When they returned, they had to find their own way. After looking at the platform for a long time, the bus only leaves every half an hour. Opal waited for a long time to get on the bus, and he was the only one in the bus.
As long as the registered mercenaries on the strong star can take the transportation provided by the trade union, the benefits and treatment are very good. On the contrary, there are also a lot of taxes drawn from the commission.
He returned to the hotel to pack up for a while, and went out with the E7 and backpack. The boss asked, "Do you want to close the room?"
Opal said: "No, keep it for now, maybe you have to come back."
The boss was still watching TV and said, "After I go to sign up, I will arrange accommodation for you. I wish you a long life."
Opal thought it might be the same, so he paid for the house and asked, "Where's Raymond?"
"That tall man?" said the boss, "leaving in the morning."
Opal came out of the house and took the car to the main street. This city is called Sunlight City. After the magnetic storm passed, the sky was clear and cloudless. Plant irises, and a few strange fluffy creatures drilled around the roadside.
There are people everywhere at the entrance of the Sunlight City Mercenary Union. The glass window that was smashed by Raymond has been repaired. It is crowded with people. The first work cycle after the magnetic storm begins. Almost all the heads of the city have come to inquire about new commissions. Task.
There is a task list on the high wall in the hall, and countless tasks are flying around. Projected fonts and induction screens shuttled over the heads of the boiling crowd. Opal squeezed in, and it was dazzling.
"The Star Airlines train is late, we have completed this task before the deadline!!!" A mercenary leader made a loud noise at the information desk.
The inquirer was a woman and said impatiently, "What can I do! This is none of our business, and the settlement will not be allowed after the expiration date! Go away!"
"You listen to me..."
"Dellin! I'm not afraid of you!" The receptionist was even more sturdy than the head of the regiment: "If you have any questions, ask the chairman! Don't crowd here!"
Opal said: "I... may I ask."
"What's the matter?" the receptionist said, "We don't accept the overdue entrustment here. Go to the chairman of the trade union branch... I don't think I have seen you? New here?"
Opal said: "I'm here to sign up to be a mercenary."
The receptionist said, "Go up the stairs with your left hand, and find the director at the registration office for new members on the third floor."
Opal followed the pointer to the third floor and entered an office. Behind the desk sat a green Mercury man who had not woken up. The antennae on the top of his head were drooping.
"excuse me… "
"Ah." The clerk said, "Rookie, it's been a long time since we've had a newcomer. They all said that there is going to be a war. No one is running towards us. Let me see, what's your name, child?"
Opal said: "My... name is Opal."
"I'm over 600 years old." The clerk sat up straight, opened the drawer with one hand, took out a card reader with the other hand, held the electronic seal with the third hand, and beckoned to him with the fourth hand, saying: " Come here, um, you are human, and you look exactly like the people of the Republic..." He muttered again: "It's rare to be a newcomer, so let's sign up first, look at the regulations, and know the characters? If you don't know, you can read it with the following audio... "
A light screen flew towards Opal, and above it was the code of the country of mercenaries, with nearly 20,000 words.
Including the treaties and responsibilities that need to be abided by after joining the mercenary union: It is not allowed to harm any client, otherwise it will be sentenced according to the seriousness of the circumstances, up to the death penalty.
Mercenaries must abide by the laws of Fierce Star when they perform tasks on this planet. When they go out on missions in other planets, they default to abide by the laws of the star and the alliance law of the Covenant. All actions of mercenaries on the outer planet will have nothing to do with Fierce Star, and the mercenary union will not bear the responsibility. any liability.
After joining, you will enjoy all the benefits of interstellar registered mercenaries, including but not limited to transportation subsidies, room and board allowances and discounts, discounts on hardware maintenance costs such as weapons and spacecraft, medical insurance and pensions.
Opal looked at it and said, "Is there a new person?"
The eyes on the clerk's tentacles did not blink, stared at him, and said, "He passed the test, received the official registration document, and has gone to the lobby on the second floor to look for a job."
Opal said: "I may be able to form a group with him."
"Oh, I don't think so." The clerk said: "You don't seem to have any practical experience, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is a job that loses your head, you obviously... I mean, you'd better sign up for the training first, It's only sixty days. And I don't think you're used to it here."
Opal pulls under the treaty and asks, "What does the training include?"
"Some experience in combat and handling emergencies." The clerk said: "There is also a small amount of spacecraft maintenance, plant and biometric identification, telling you what is dangerous and not to touch, so as not to be reckless... You are a newcomer. New recruits, if they don't train, maybe this is the last we've ever seen."
Opal: "… "
Opal said: "You think me too weak."
The clerk said: "No no, do you know why they arranged me to sit in this office? Of course there is a reason, we Green Mercury people can accurately judge who is strong and who is weak, who is born suitable for fighting, and who should go home. go."
Opal's expression was a little stiff, and he had to admit that the clerk still had some eyesight. The tentacles of the green Mercury man circled around the top of his head. He felt uncomfortable.
"You have a good foundation." The clerk said: "But you don't have much actual combat experience, think about it, child, the cost of training for 60 days is only 3,000 yuan."
Opal took a deep breath and said, "Can I find a job after training?"
"Don't be impetuous, young man." The clerk said, "It obviously depends on your luck, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Even if you don't pass the exam, it will be an unforgettable experience in your life, isn't it?"
Opal nodded slowly, decided to follow his suggestion, and said happily: "I decided to participate in mercenary training, what do I need to prepare?"
The clerk said: "There are many recruits every year, you have to go to the city of war spirit, Azeroth... Our king, no, where their king is, the war spirit is the political capital of Lie Xing, the central school. Responsible for managing you, providing room and board, a 60-day training, are you sure you want to participate?"
Opal said: "Uh, confirm, is the new environment friendly? Is the course difficult?"
The clerk said: "The teachers are also recruits. They have a certain amount of patience. You know, there have been fewer and fewer new recruits in recent years. Except for the homeless homeless, no one has come to Lie Xing. Everyone is afraid of war... We don't accept fugitives. Draw the card here, pay the fee, and go down to the second floor to fill out the form."
Opal paid the fee and went down to the personnel hall on the second floor. Even the second floor was full of people, blushing and arguing with thick necks everywhere. In fact, from the first day he came to Lie Xing, as long as there were many people, Quarrel is everywhere. Several mercenary heads shoved their members roughly and cursed at the clerks.
Captain: "I'm going to fire him right now!"
Clerk: "But his performance hasn't reached the point of being fired by you... It's clearly written in his handbook..."
The mercenary in the other corner shouted, "I need to find a new mercenary group! I'm so fed up with Duke! He almost threw me on Indigo Planet!"
The clerk said calmly: "But he has brought you back..."
"Why every reorganization is like a divorce lawsuit!" The woman's scream came.
Opal was so dizzy and stomped on his head that he finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted: "Enough! Let me in!"
The surroundings fell silent, and Opal glanced at them angrily. The mercenaries suddenly burst into laughter. Opal felt a sense of humiliation being mocked, and began to tire of this planet and regretted his decision to come here.
"Well, I'm a newcomer, a new recruit." Opal said angrily, "I came to sign up, the gentleman on the third floor asked me to come here..."
The female clerk smiled and said, "Welcome, newcomer, you will love it here."
Opal said: "It's looking pretty bad right now."
The mercenary heads scattered behind them, and the voices rang out again. The female clerk said, "I promise that you will regard Lie Xing as your new home, let me see... Need training, um, stamp you, I wish you You successfully passed the training assessment."
Opal looked around and said, "What's this for?"
"Your information will be kept on file in the personnel department, and it will be updated at any time with your grades in the training school." The female clerk said, "In the past 60 days, there may be a group leader who has taken a fancy to you and brought you in. go home."
Opal said blankly: "Oh, this is really good, I'm looking forward to it."
The clerk smiled and said: "Don't be stern, the weather is very good today, go back to Director Coco on the third floor, he will be responsible for sending you to the City of War Souls... I say you! Don't fight there! Stop me!"
Opal squeezed out from a group of savage mercenaries, his clothes were messed up, he stood in the corner of the personnel hall and breathed a sigh of relief, and found that Raymond was standing opposite the crowd.
"Raymond!" Opal yelled at him.
Raymond turned his head to look at him, only glanced at him, and ignored him.
A cool and thin person, Opal is the first time in his life that he has encountered such a character.
With all the documents in place, Opal lifted up a thin sheet and asked, "What is this?"
The clerk said: "This is 'paper', the oldest thing used to record information 20,000 years ago."
Opal said, "The message is written on this?"
The clerk said: "Of course it has been improved a lot. This kind of thing will not fade, will not be burned, and will not rot. It is your eternal commemoration in the country of mercenaries. Take it to the City of Battle Stars to report. You sent a trolley and went out through the corridor at the back door, which was parked at the door. After arriving at the training center, go to the seventeenth floor."
Opal walked through the corridor that he and Raymond ran through yesterday, walked out the back door, and got into the only car, unmanned, and the car flew off the ground. The magnetic storm was raging the day before, and now I can see the whole picture of Sunlight City.
There are special maglev rails on the equator. There are not many vehicles coming and going, but they all run fast. The rails are tens of thousands of meters above the ground, and they cross the broadband urban area. The lake is quietly inlaid on the ground, glittering with the reflection of the Ares star, as gorgeous as a sapphire.
The star spreads out from the gray-blue color of the central equator to the sides, and the color becomes lighter toward the north and south poles, showing the white of snow and ice.
The disc-shaped trolley ascended the track, flew towards the central main city, City of Souls, and stopped at the top of a building.
City of War Soul is far from Sunlight City. Each city seems to have its own characteristics. Sunlight City is more retro, while City of War Soul is more technological.
There is only one direct elevator at the top of the building. Opal went to the seventeenth floor to hand in the registration form and began his training life.
