Azeroth: "Lefina is very grateful to you and your companions for helping her."
Opal said: "Raymond... uh, have you seen him too?"
Azeroth said: "I didn't see him face to face, I only talked about a few words in the communicator, so I can only ask you for some inside information."
Opal said: "You're welcome, let me think about it..."
Raymond didn't even buy the account of the mercenary king, he really had character. Opal recalled their detailed mission content, Azeroth inserted a few questions from time to time, Opal answered them one by one, and when it came to Bishop Kane, Azeroth asked: "The King of the Meteor Stars obviously did something to him. Some arrangements have been made, haven't you been hypnotized?"
Opal said unnaturally, "No. His name is the King of Meteor?"
Azeroth nodded slowly, Opal always felt that his eyes behind the glasses had already guessed a lot of things, he just felt uncomfortable sitting in front of Azeroth, tried to change the subject, and asked: "The Meteorite King... Cororin, did he take Kane as a... lackey?"
Azeroth said: "Judging from the news delivered by the Sunshine Twins, it is indeed the case. Bishop Kane was brain-dead when his mission failed, and the rescue was ineffective. But I personally think that maybe he was affected by his beliefs. The invasion of the King of Meteor, that guy has always been good at conscious influence and control."
"Suppose Kane mistakenly believed in a non-existent god in a prayer. After all, there are too many unsolved phenomena in the universe. When his belief is shaken, he will be psychologically hinted. Kane turned to another method. Hypnotized Pike, so to speak... It was planned from the beginning to obtain fragments of the star map and kidnap one or more archaeologists to assist them in the interpretation and excavation of the treasure map."
Opal nodded slowly, and someone came from outside the cafe. He bowed and said a few words in Azeroth's ear. Azeroth waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, Rosen."
The man stood aside and acted as a follower.
Azeroth said: "My question is over. It's too late to welcome you. I believe you have integrated into the big family of the mercenary kingdom. How do you feel?"
"Not bad." Opal said: "I like this place very much. Can you help me mention the mercenary level? Just mention E."
The expressions of the followers became very strange, Azeroth laughed, the laughter was very heroic, attracting the attention of many people.
"The rules of the union... uh." Azeroth was amusing: "I can't change it casually."
Opal said: "Actually, I think this planet is really good, but some places are... a little bit like that."
Azeroth said: "Like what?"
Opal thought for a while and said, "Like order, like..."
Opal began to complain to Azeroth about the construction of Fierce Star. If he was more mature, he would not do such a thing, but Opal is still too young after all. Love to point the country's interests. He said anything to Azeroth when he thought of it, including the quarrel in the union, the difficulty of finding a group for the mercenaries, and the difficulty in coordinating.
He talked so much that after a long time in the future, when he thought of this morning in the past, he was so arrogant and boasted in front of the mercenary king who had lived for thousands of years. .
"It's best for each person to rent a mecha when they go out on a mission, which can ensure the safety of everyone's lives." Opal finally suggested.
Azeroth nodded with a smile, and said, "I will consider it when I have money. To be honest, regarding the current situation of the trade union, I have also considered introducing all-electronic information technology, so that everyone can leave after completing the task and return the entrustment. The distribution of personnel and personnel is through the information terminal. But in the end, I feel that it is easy to obliterate everyone's enthusiasm, and it is not conducive to stimulating the communication and morale between the mercenary groups. "
Opal thought for a while and said, "That's right. If there wasn't this link, they would all take on assignments at home, and they wouldn't meet. There are kinds of noisy unions, and there are..."
"Vibrant, fiery and masculine atmosphere, exuberant vitality." Azeroth nodded in approval: "We are a big family, we share weal and woe."
"Then it's okay to continue with the status quo, reduce unemployment and keep point windows and offices," Opal said.
Azeroth said: "A referendum will be launched in a while to try to improve public facilities, try to collect less commission, and transfer the cost to the employer's handling fee as much as possible... By the way, I just heard your comments. Conversation. Who is your employer?"
Opal took off his sunglasses, and regretfully poured bitter water on Azeroth, and said how difficult it was to get up early in the morning to take on a mission, Azeroth listened to the process and said: "Let me see, what gem is it? "
Opal took Sid's stone and gave it to Azeroth, thinking that he might know something because of his knowledge.
Azeroth only observed with his eyes, without any instrument, of course, he couldn't see why.
Azeroth said: "This reminds me of when I was a quasi-F-rank mercenary, the first task I received was to take my employer to tour the entire Fierce Star and act as her tour guide. The employer was Lefina's mother. , with her still a little girl."
The corners of Opal's mouth twitched, and Azeroth said: "200,000, a very suitable price, Rosen."
The entourage behind him nodded and took out a temporary card. Opal straightened his eyes and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
Azeroth said: "Maybe it can play a role in the future. There may not be many things in the universe that can't even see a use for a wrench."
Opal said: "This... I think he will thank you very much, Sid!"
Azeroth immediately said: "No no, I don't want to accept too many thanks, this is a very heavy burden."
The follower named Rosen took out a portable credit card terminal, Azeroth transferred the money, put away the gems, and said, "You saved Lefina and saved me a lot of work, I think it's totally worth it. Otherwise, I'll have to go and rescue my new historical adviser myself, and search and rescue, which is a huge headache."
"Lefina has always been obsessed with ancient culture research, and most of the money is used to fund archaeology and poor disciples, and she has little savings in her life. Because of Parker's incident, all the assets in her name have been frozen, and she can only borrow it. A meager amount of money to repay the life-saving grace of the two, but I personally think that she is the priceless treasure of Lie Xing, and her life is definitely more than 50,000 credit points to us..."
Opal smiled and said, "Uh... Money is an external thing, you are polite, don't mind this issue too much."
Azeroth nodded and said, "I wish you a long life."
The two bowed to each other, Azeroth said goodbye, Opal gave the card to Sid, and said: "So things will always turn around, this is solved, congratulations. Our king bought your gem, Hurry up, now go to entrust the task, I can still catch up with my own entrustment when I go back."
Opal sent Sid to the labor union branch in Sunset City, and watched him carry out the entrusted rating and appraisal. After all the procedures were completed, Opal said: "I registered in Sunlight City, and now I will go back there to pick up the task, let's go. Bye bye."
Sid said gratefully, "How do I get in touch with you?"
Opal thought about it and said, "I will buy a short-wave communicator in a while, and give you the number, and then contact you."
In the mercenary diary, the quest payment was paid, Opal thought about it, returned 2,000 credit points to Sid, and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything for you, keep these for you as living expenses, don't empty it all at once, come on. !"
Opal patted Sid's head, as if seeing himself as a child, patted his shoulder again, and ran out of the union back to Sunlight City.
In the Sunlight City branch, Opal continued to line up. There were fewer people, but the noise was still so loud that the first floor was overturned.
Opal was at the end of the line and looked around. The single-player tasks on the bulletin board had been reduced by nearly half. He was so anxious when he waited, and Raymond's impatient voice came from the front: "I can do it alone! It doesn't take two people! Boss! ! There is no need for two people to work in shifts to keep the greenhouse for seven days..."
"The employer said there must be two people! The employer said it! What's the use of arguing with me about this!" the clerk shouted: "There are so many orders here, so if you apply for a temporary cooperation comrade-in-arms, will you die!! Will you die? !"
Raymond roared: "Four thousand credit points to keep the greenhouse for seven days! Who would take this kind of work! Is two thousand points per person for begging! See for yourself, who will take it? You! You are willing to spend seven days to earn Two thousand o'clock?"
The mercenary behind Raymond said angrily: "I might as well go beg for food! Beggars in the capital of the Republic can earn 20,000 yuan a month! Hurry up! If you can't do it, quit the mission! Don't delay! The next general election will be held. I have to fire these job raters who don't work!"
The clerk suddenly screamed: "Who is afraid of you! If you fire me in this window, there will only be robots left! You won't even be able to receive single-player missions, and you will only lose money if you break the robot! Try it! Big man Hurry up and find a partner! Stop blocking here! It's time to get off work!"
Raymond was so angry that he had nowhere to go, he took a deep breath, looking at the expression he really wanted to throw the mercenary diary on the ground.
When he turned his head, he saw Opal smiling at him.
Raymond still had the shiny earrings on his ears.
Opal handed out the mercenary diary and asked him to apply for cooperation.
Raymond looked at Opal for a while, and instead of picking up his mercenary diary, he waved, "Follow me."
Opal: "?"
Raymond took Opal to the personnel hall on the second floor. Raymond threw the mercenary diary with the ID card into the window and said, "Form a permanent mercenary group."
Opal said: "Organize a group?"
Raymond said: "A group? If you want, hand over your diary and ID card."
On the second floor, there was still a lot of noise. There was no one in the group window. In front of the other window to fill the quota, a group leader grabbed the ears of his group members and shouted loudly.
"Think about it! They're all recruits!" the director of the team office said loudly: "Grouping a group is the same as getting married! Don't be too enthusiastic, don't think about it carefully! I promise you will be finished in a few days! Divorce is not so easy. ! The division of the tour fee will be noisy to death! Look at the team next door to fire the squid can line up until tomorrow... "
Opal: "… "
Raymond: "Don't be long-winded!"
There were group leaders who were angry and lectured everywhere, and the team next door was still roaring: "I was really caught in the door before I recruited you into the group..."
Opal threw out the diary and said, "Let's form a group!" The light screen floated out and let the two print their fingerprints to verify their pupils.
Raymond said: "I want a name."
Opal: "Whatever."
Office Director: "A random mercenary group?"
Raymond and Opal said in unison, "No!"
Office Director: "What the hell! I can't even use this name, someone has already registered it!"
Opal said: "What's the name... let me think about it. Are you a mercenary group? Not very good, I'm a hard worker..."
Raymond said: "You are enough! Let me come."
"Call..." Raymond said, "Smoke and Sword Mercenary Group?"
Opal: "It's just terrifying."
Raymond: "Then you think about it, huh?"
Opal hurriedly said: "This name really couldn't be better."
The smoke and sword mercenary group was established, the team fund account was established, the registration was successful, and Opal and Raymond swore an oath to the code.
Opal said blankly: "I will never raise arms against my comrades..."
Raymond: "One day in the team, never betray, never be tempted by money and power..."
Opal: "I will never abandon my comrades to escape alone..."
Raymond: "Are you serious?"
Opal said blankly, "What?"
Raymond: "I think you're being perfunctory."
Opal said with grief and indignation: "I am really perfunctory, do I still need to say the content of these oaths? It must be done!"
Raymond was silent for a moment, then nodded, the team vowed to establish, and threw a diary out of it, saying, "I wish you a long life, and I wish your team a long life - that's it."
The head of Raymond, the deputy head of Opal - there are only two people.
In the Cuckoo Bird restaurant, the two were sitting at the table. Opal had already filled a belly of coffee in the morning and ate a lot of food, but Raymond hadn't had breakfast yet. down thing.
There is still plenty of time, and Lie Xing is still very leisurely when he is not on a mission. After all, everyone is fighting for their lives, and after leaving the battlefield, they all want to have a quiet and leisurely life. So pubs, cafes, restaurants are everywhere, and there are many entertainment bars. Apart from eating, dressing, and playing, there is no other activity during vacation.
Raymond took the straw of iris wine and pointed to the list of supplies listed by Opal.
Opal said: "I know more and more people, and I have to buy a ground short-wave communicator to facilitate finding people."
Raymond said, "Just buy one. We can communicate with each other." As he spoke, he tapped his ear.
Opal nodded, and Raymond said again: "The mercenary group's station is temporarily postponed, and I can't afford to buy a house. I only have 100,000 credit points, how about you?"
Opal smiled and said, "I changed the ore I brought back from Chi Yanxing... 180,000 plus the latest commission, as well as Mrs. Anta's remuneration, there are about 200,000 credit points."
Raymond nodded and said, "You are richer than me. Let's live in your spaceship for the time being. Let's go back and clean up and make it more comfortable. Anything you need to buy will be debited from the team account, and in the future. Once your level is high, you can scrape together the money to buy a resident station for rest.”
Opal felt a burst of warmth in his heart and said, "Great! How much does it cost to buy a house?"
Raymond said casually: "It's a long-term matter, let's talk about it later."
"I'm going shopping." Opal got up and said.
Raymond nodded. Now they are a long-term team. Many materials must be equipped. Guns are required. The gun control of the God of War system is very loose. If it is used for fighting on the site, once it is found, it will be immediately expelled from the union, or imprisoned or exiled depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, up to the death penalty.
Opal used his and Raymond's ID cards to buy two light bullet guns. They were too expensive. One gun required close to 10,000 credit points, and charging was not cheap.
Cold weapons are not much worse than newly developed guns after incorporating new technologies.
Opal also bought a communicator and went to the Mercenary Union to report it. After registering the communicator number, it was displayed in the electronic yellow pages so that other people could contact.
He came out of the union, found the contact number of the 12th star cluster mercenary group, and added it to the contact list. Suddenly, he was a little curious. He turned on the projection device of Raymond's ID card and glanced at it.
The holographic image slowly rotates in the air, and the content is as follows:
raymond.
Star Nationality: Lyra Whirlpool Galaxy, Canines Five Stars, Planet Number C901AU730.
Gender: Male.
Naturalization time: Guangyuan 20082.
Date of Birth: December 27, 20082, Universal Calendar.
Gene identification code: (hidden password)
Pupil Ripple: (Pattern)
Fingerprint: (hidden password)
Raymond is only 22 years old? Opal didn't expect him to be so young at all, and the appearance of Raymond on the projection was exactly the same as now. In the restaurant across the street from the union, Raymond got up, and Opal immediately turned off the projection device and went across the street to return his ID card.
"Have you bought it?" Raymond took the card and put it away, Opal said, "The team account is where you are."
The two planned for a while, and shared what Opal bought. Raymond took the small ground communicator, which was a small wrist buckle. Opal said: "You are the captain, so wear this on you too."
The two big boys were carrying bags and basking in the sunshine on the streets of Sunlight City. Opal immersed himself in the wristbands on Raymond. His wrists were strong and secure. The two of them were like a landscape in the country of mercenaries.
"Opal?" The voice of the man beside him sounded.
Opal and Raymond looked up at the same time, and Raymond asked, "Who are you?"
The man had long brown-gray hair, dark silver in his gray eyes, a blue trench coat all over his body, and the collar of his shirt turned over from the collar of the trench coat. He was thin, handsome and pale.
"You... ah! You are... Your name is Rosen!" Opal recognized him as Azeroth's entourage.
Rosen nodded slowly, took out a red gem, and said, "This is a gift from the king, congratulations on the establishment of the Yan and Sword Mercenary Group."
"What is this?" Raymond took the red crystal.
Opal immediately understood that this was the heirloom that Azeroth bought from Sid at a cost of 200,000.
"No, no." Opal hurriedly declined: "It's too expensive, I'll take it with good intentions."
"Keep it." Rosen said politely: "When each mercenary group is established, the king will give it a souvenir. I hope you will always remember the meaning it represents, and always keep the principles and feelings of being a mercenary. , I wish you a long life, and farewell."
Opal: "… "
Raymond shook hands with Rosen. After Rosen left, Opal said, "Is there such a thing?"
Opal told the story, and Raymond casually raised the gem, looked at the sun, threw it at random, handed it to Opal, and said, "You keep it."
