Chapter 29

The first mission of the tobacco and sword mercenary Corps was only 4000 credit points, and it had to spend seven days on the planet musu. The new Stargate established a perfect node. There are thousands of breeding stars in this place, which belongs to the interstellar wasteland.

It would have been three years before musu could determine its real ownership. At that time, the Republic would have made administrative plans. However, the owners of these planets could not wait to send a large number of robots to reclaim the land.

It's very cold here. The temperature difference between day and night is close to 40 degrees. Most of the places are desolate, but the land is very fertile. Phosphorus, iron and ammonia, and trace elements are rich. A farmer came with his family and prepared to plant large-scale Mu Su flowers.

Raymond bargained with his employer in the hope that he could pay more for the task. However, the employer was so stingy that he didn't eat it at all.

"I'll buy the right to use it for 20 years." The employer clenched his neck and yelled, "it only cost 18 million! You want me four thousand in a second? "

Raymond had no choice but to come back depressed. They were squatting on the edge of the farm, guarding the greenhouse as scarecrow.

The greenhouse covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers, and we have to drive from one end to the other.

The coefficient of gravity is only 0.7. Opal can't help but feel the pleasure of flying into the air by jumping around in the flower field.

"Oh, Ho!" opal, with a long leg, leaped five meters across the fields of the greenhouse like a hurdle and touched the top of the greenhouse.

"Stop playing!" Raymond said angrily.

Opal hopped around like a spring without restraint, and soon disappeared.

At night, opal came back with his nose. Raymond borrowed a portable atomic furnace from his employer. They built a simple nest and stood by the greenhouse. Even if there was a big shed, the wind still blew everywhere at night, and the temperature dropped to more than 10 degrees below zero.

"Eat it." Raymond served some meat, sprinkled with sunshine pepper, and poured opal a small glass of Sagittarius.

Opal said, "how can I be on duty at night?"

Ramon sat cross legged on the ground and said to himself, "you sleep, I'll be on duty at night."

Opal ate the barbecue and looked up at the house outside the greenhouse in the distance. The lights were bright and yellow, and the employer's family were eating - a cozy, warm nest.

Opal looked at Raymond and Raymond said, "what?"

Opal waved his hand and raised an evil curiosity. He turned his head and radiated the power of faith. First he touched and retreated. Then he secretly spied Raymond's thinking. What was Ramon thinking? It doesn't hurt to read your mind once in a while.

Opal used very little to read his mind, not as much as hypnotism. This was the first time he used it. He read Raymond's thinking and felt a strange wave. It was a few fragmentary fragments, glowing in the dark, advancing gradually Clearer, clearer.

Two moons? Raymond's thinking scene was a black blue sky with two moons on it. The ground was gray, and there were many bodies buried on the ground, just like a ruin.

Opal couldn't help but look up and see three moons in the sky through the greenhouse ceiling.

Raymond then looked up and said, "the moon is beautiful."

Opal makes a sound and analyzes the scene Raymond is thinking about. It should be the place where he has been in the past. He didn't dare to ask. After a while, Ramon's mind changed again. It was a warm place with a fireplace on fire. Like the employer's home, Raymond was lying on the sofa and opal was reading on the carpet.

Ah? I was in his mind. Opal was a little funny.

After dinner, Raymond packed up his things and said, "go to sleep first."

Outside the greenhouse, the night wind is sharp, like wild animals growling uneasily in the dark. Opal and Raymond lean against the glowing atomic furnace and doze together. Raymond squints. Opal looks at the gem in his hand at the fire in the furnace.

"Don't look." Raymond said, "even if it's worth 200000, can you sell it?"

"So it is." "Every regiment has a souvenir. I don't know what Azeroth gave the spanner to their regiment," opal said

Raymond said, "I've heard that some regiments are a cup, and when the twelve star clusters are founded, they get a sword."

Opal said: "maybe when our regiment grows stronger and recruit more comrades in arms, this gem can also become a family heirloom."

Ramon said, "forget it. Now that's enough."

Opal put away the jewel, shrugged his shoulders, and found that he had never seen Raymond sleep Or, I haven't seen him fall asleep.

His thoughts spread wildly, and opal thought of what Rosen said when he handed the gem to him, and Azeroth's first commission when he became a quasi-f-class mercenary.

What is the spirit and feelings of mercenaries?

Money seems to have become a secondary factor. Opal vaguely feels something. In fact, the concept of mercenaries is similar to that of star knights. They are busy in the vast universe, ostensibly in order to earn the remuneration of their employers. But in fact, at the moment of completing the Commission, there are more things besides money as rewards for hard workOpal fell asleep. He felt Ramon put his coat under his head and made him lie down. He got up to visit the flower field.

In the dark, the soldier's boots are like white, and the soldier's boots are bright. With the phosphorous light from the flowers, Raymond thought and laughed. He ran for a few steps, jumped soundlessly, jumped several meters, flew to the top of the greenhouse, and touched the ceiling.

As opal snored, he suddenly felt something approaching the center of the flower field from all directions.

He opened his eyes, underground!

"Raymond?" Opal raised his hand and pressed the silver clasp on his ear.

Raymond landed, stopped, pressed his ear and said, "what?"

The two men were still for a moment at the same time. After learning that Suo Suo's voice became clear, opal said, "there is an enemy!"

Raymond turned around and began to run. Opal grabbed the weapons of the two men leaning against the wall, got up and ran to Ramon! A roar was heard under the moon, and a giant earthworm like alien creature suddenly emerged from the ground and whirled towards Raymond!

Raymond jumps forward and crosses opal in mid air. Opal throws out the long handled axe, and Ramon holds it. The two men spin and land at the same time.

Opal: you support, I'm in front of you

Raymond: I'm a heavy weapon, in front of me

Opal: I'm a shield, in front of me

Raymond: don't be so wordy! Here we are

They are still fighting for the vanguard position. The giant earthworm sends out a piercing roar and plunges into the front.

"Get out of the way!"

Raymond pushed opal away, and the two swept out obliquely. The earthworm hit their previous foothold and got into the mud.

Opal said, "the teacher taught me! The big sword can be attacked and defended! You're in charge of support! "

Ramon said madly, "what can I do later! Here we are again --! "

With two loud bangs, opal rolled in the mud. He got up, saw the raised ground and cut it with a sword. Then the sharp grinding sound of tooth acid was heard. More than ten meters long ground boring insects convulsed painfully and splashed fluorescent mucus on the ground. Opal was not afraid of being hit and swept out. It was dark all around, and there was a man at the entrance of the greenhouse shouting angrily, and the employer came out.

"Don't shoot!" Raymond yelled as several bullets flew around

There was an explosion, a loud noise, and the sound of the broken greenhouse shed. Opal struggled to get up and saw Venus.

Ramon carried opal up. "Is it OK?"

The light in the greenhouse turned on, and the wind was blowing in. When Opal saw Raymond's arm wiped by a light bullet, he exploded in an instant and roared, "what are you doing out there for fun?"

He rushed over, grabbed his employer by the collar and pushed him to the ground. Ramon looked around and picked up the axe. The women screamed. There was chaos outside the greenhouse.

Raymond said, "don't hit the employer! Calm down

Opal is still angry, pointing to the employer with a gun, coldly said: "you remember it for me."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." "My father didn't mean to Let me see. Are you hurt? We have X-ray equipment

The employer's wife came out with a first-aid kit. Raymond waved his hand and simply bandaged it. He took over his coat and put it on. Standing in the middle of the flower field with Opal, looking at the earthworm tail cut off by the axe.

Nearly two meters long, the tail wriggles on the ground. Opal said, "it has no eyes and its digestive juice is corrosive. This creature should rely on ground vibration sensors to determine the enemy's position."

Raymond nodded and said, "find a way to catch this thing."

Late at night, they were shivering with cold and huddled together in the disordered flower fields.

The next morning, at dawn, the workers came out to mend the hole in the greenhouse. The employer's eyes were covered with red silk and his face was very ugly. He came out and said, "your task is over."

"What?" Opal and Raymond have the same voice.

The employer said, "go back immediately. The Commission is over."

"What do you mean?" opal frowned

Raymond motioned to opal to be at ease and said, "we had to do something last night This problem will certainly be solved today. "

The employer roared: "I hired you to come here for nothing! I've made a mess of my flower field. I haven't caught it yet. The greenhouse is broken like this! I want to complain to your superior! "

Opal took a deep breath, thought about it, looked into his eyes and said, "are you sure?"

Employer:

"Wait a minute." Raymond said, "let me negotiate."

He took out the mercenary's diary and said to the employer, "Sir, you'd better take a look at this first. What's the" d "for the task rating entrusted? It means that you don't need to hire a high-level mercenary group. As long as you spend a small amount of 4000 credit points, you can leave when the time is up. Therefore, in principle, you hide some facts from the trade union. "Opal said, "don't talk to him. Let me do it."

"What do you want to do?" The employer was furious and said, "do you want to kill or gain money?"

"No, No Ramon pulled opal aside and whispered, "you're going to help them fix the greenhouse."

"Why should I do this?" opal said

Raymond said, "because I'm the leader."

Opal: "you'd better think of some other reasons. The second rule of the mercenary code is not to yield to the powerful power. Don't oppress me as a commander."

Raymond frowned, "be obedient."

Opal looked at the employer in the distance. He took his sword back and went to repair the greenhouse.

Raymond went back to negotiate with his employer, and opal climbed up impatiently to help the workers.

Raymond said to the employer, "you fired us now. That big guy will come back in a few days. Maybe more. You can't help it. When we go back, we will report the details of the task to the trade union. You see, the diary of the mercenary is written on this page. They will send someone to investigate, and finally deduct 50% of your commission money as a penalty for breach of contract. Since then, you have been blacklisted in the city of mercenaries. No one will take your task again. Why do you have to? "

The employer said, "you don't have this ability at all! I... "

"Have the ability." Raymond said: "last night, it was an accident of incomplete information collection, and you are also responsible. Because you didn't tell us what's going on here. Now that it's clear, we'll help you out. "

"You see." Raymond added, "my men have mended your greenhouse. You can decide for yourself whether to fire us now and put us on the blacklist of the country of mercenaries, or continue to cooperate. "

The employer took a look at opal in the distance and went home.

Opal turned out the greenhouse from the ladder. The sun came out. The earth was warm. The temperature in the greenhouse rose a lot. He looked at the distant wasteland with a thoughtful look.

Raymond came over, and they exchanged glances and knew each other clearly.

"What are you thinking?" Raymond said.

Opal said, "you can use the terrain outside to set up a trap."

"I want to dig a hole down the area where it came out yesterday," Raymond said

Opal: Oh, give me a break. I don't want to drill any more

laughed and said, "so you has the final say."

With his sword on his shoulder, opal looked around and said, "I need a lasso, like the one used by the little green people on kodo to control giant cattle What's it called? "

Ramon puzzled: "what?"

Opal drew the shape of a rope on the ground. In the following time, the two began to work, tying a noose with the remaining long rope of the shed. As time went by, the giant ground borer did not appear again.

Ramon asked, "where did you learn that?"

"What the teacher taught me, he taught me before. When dealing with large dangerous creatures without wisdom, we can try to weaken their combat effectiveness from the aspects of control, fighting, trapping and so on, and finally finish the fight with one strike," opal said

Raymond nodded and opal said, "where did you learn to negotiate with people?"

Raymond tied the rope without lifting his head, and his fingers unscrewed the steel bar with such force that even opal could not match him.

"If it's inborn, do you believe it?" Raymond said.

"But the first time I saw you." "You're not like this at all," opal said, a little confused

"That's because I'm too unfamiliar with the environment. I have to be more careful. I don't know whether the people around me are kind or malicious. Some planets are very dangerous," Raymond said

He looked up at Opal and laughed. Opal looked at his handsome brows and eyes and found that Raymond's vigilance was no longer present when they met for the first time. Instead, there was a familiar look in Raymond's eyes.

It's as if I've seen it in ractor's eyes.

Raymond said, "I didn't like to deal with people before..."

"Now?" opal said

Raymond said, "it's OK. It's OK."

They both laughed, and the girl's voice behind him said, "two gentlemen."

Raymond turned his head. His smile was bright and sunny. The girl was stunned and gave them a basket full of food. She said with a smile, "I'm very sorry about my father's business."

"It doesn't matter," opal waved

"We didn't care," Raymond said

When Opal's lasso was finished, he got up to try, and ran a few steps ahead of him out of the plain. With a sound, he jumped into the sky in the sun. When he turned around, he threw away the wire rope and gave out a flash of rope trace. He fell from his head and feet, and then somersault on the ground. He came and went and played like a juggler.

Raymond laughed and sat down by the greenhouse.

The employer's daughter sat beside him with her knee in her arms, her skirt in order, and she laughed and chatted with him until her father came out in a rage to find someone, and then she went home."You want to marry her?" Opal rolled up the wire rope and came back to ask.

"Maybe." Raymond put a Musa berry in his mouth, looked at him provocatively, and the juice splashed: "what do you always care about this?"

Opal picked some berries at random, and suddenly thrust them into Raymond's mouth. They pushed and pushed each other like big children.

In the greenhouse, they pulled up the intricate thread, like a spider web hanging over the flower field.

The sixth day passed, everything was plain, the flower field was repaired, and the earthworm did not appear again. Opal and Raymond were sitting in the corner of the greenhouse. Opal was holding a big sword. Ramon bent his leg and had a long axe on his shoulder. He dozed in the dim light of the new moon.

"Maybe not again." Raymond said.

"Wait, be patient," opal said

Raymond: people who don't expect you to be impulsive will be patient

Opal: "I've always been patient with the fight, but I've only been patient with people."

Raymond nodded and opal said, "man, what did you do before?"

Raymond was silent. Opal said casually, "it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. I'm just curious."

During his speech, opal did a very cheap thing. He said it was ok, and released his mental power to read Ramon's thoughts secretly.

At the same time, opal's heart is still to teach him this ability, but never used in the place where it should be used to apologize.

He read the same scene again - two moons, a deserted planet factory, and the earth covered with corpses.

The faces of the corpses were all Raymond's faces. One Raymond stood with hundreds of his corpses covering his feet, which looked like a big pit for burying corpses.

Nightmares? Opal squinted, trying to explore Raymond's spiritual world in his thinking activities. What does that mean? He remembered that Rex had said that he had already died in his soul, and that after destroying countless himself, he ushered in a new life

"You'll find out later." Raymond said.

What opal read changed again. He returned to the trade union in the country of mercenaries, which was Raymond's perspective. Opal stood in the noisy hall, pulled his shoulder and said something to him.

Opal began to recall what he said at that time, "I have a spaceship"?

"Opal." Raymond said, "do you hear me?"

A faint vibration came from the ground, which was very weak, but they felt it at the same time. Opal immediately grabbed the lasso and motioned for Raymond to start. They made a gesture. Raymond took the lasso, jumped into the net at the top of the greenhouse, and bounced between the ropes.

Opal pressed the light switch and the whole greenhouse lit up.

With the ground shaking approaching, opal ran quickly to the center of the flower field. Every step was thick and heavy. He ran with his sword on his back until the giant earthworm got out of the mud!

The roar sounded in the quiet night. The ground borer rushed out of the ground and hit the rope net. Opal yelled, "be careful!"

Raymond nearly fell down when the rope net was agitated. Opal kept away from the pipe mouth that was falling on his head and rolled away in a critical moment. Raymond chased after him on the rope net over his head. He made a wrong step and hung upside down. His feet firmly hooked on the rope and twisted the rope, throwing the lasso in the air.

When the arc light flies away, the head of the giant earthworm is covered, and the mouthparts full of fangs are bound firmly. The earthworm rolled all over the ground and crushed down five or six flower racks. Raymond said, "it's you!"

Opal was thrown to pieces. The alloy rope passed in front of him, and subconsciously reached out to grab it. In an instant, he was carried into the air. Giant earthworms scurried around and crushed them. Finally, he smashed into the greenhouse and rushed out of the greenhouse with transparent debris flying all over the sky!

Opal roared, "hurry up! It's harder to grasp than you think

With his left hand in front of him, opal bowed to ward off the debris and mud coming from his face. He was taken out of the warm room like an arrow. When he was in mid air, he grabbed the alloy rope with his backhand and roared, "where do you want to run?" Then one kick on the head of the giant earthworm.

Roaring and hysterical, the giant earthworm twitches and rolls. It rushes left and right on the plain, bowing and rolling. It wants to throw opal down like a mad beast. It rushes its head to the ground several times. However, its mouth organ is firmly trapped by the lasso, unable to swallow soil and dig holes, nor can it spray out disinfectant to hurt the enemy.

After a while, Raymond chased out of the greenhouse, and his mechanical hatchet glowed golden in the moonlight, making an arc and cutting it hard toward the ground.

When Opal lifted the reins, the giant earthworm turned and its tail was cut in two by Raymond.

"Good boy!" Roared opal.

The giant earthworm suddenly went mad, and the digestive juice gushed from the fracture. Raymond and opal simultaneously called out, "be careful!"

Every time opal lifted the reins, he spilled a green acid trail. Raymond avoided the acid and swung his axe with one hand.

Nearly two meters long, the mechanical weapon flickered with electric light, and the long handle made a graceful circle between his fingers and cut it down again.

Raymond pulled his axe to avoid it. The ground borer was convulsed in the acid solution in pain, and rushed blindly out of the wasteland. The two axes had already cut off nearly five meters in length."Chop Small pieces Point Opal was jolted, not forgetting to shout, holding the reins and kicking it.

As the borer dashed further and farther, he bumped into the wireless tower on the edge of the farm. Opaldon was hit by a big bag on his head, and he was carried around in the clouds. Raymond ran as fast as he could. The man held up the mechanical axe in the air, and it was a fierce axe in the roar!

Then he chopped off half of the length of the worm, and the remaining two or three meters of its head was completely exhausted. Opal drew out his big sword behind his back, leaped back and took a sword to nail the rest of its head to the ground.

At that moment, a naked hair of the borer gave a terrible roar, which lasted for five seconds. It spewed out countless digestive acids and shriveled like a rag bag.

Opal touched the big bag on his head and gasped with the iron tower. He was so upset that he vomited out.

"Well done." Raymond said: "wish you a long life -"

opal touched him with one hand and looked back at the greenhouse. It was a mess again.

The next day, the employer was crazy. Opal collected four pieces of earthworm corpses. They were 2.5 meters, 2.5 meters, 3 meters and 2 meters. They were cut into four pieces by Raymond's axe and placed in front of the greenhouse.

"This skin can be sent to you." Raymond said.

"What's the use of this?" roared the employer

"Come on, man." Opal said regretfully, "amity makes money, right? Come on, sign by fingerprint. "

"You just asked us to drive away or kill all the local creatures that invaded the greenhouse, but you didn't ask us to leave the greenhouse as it is," Raymond said

The employer glared at them and said, "you'll see."

"Beautiful," opal said with a smile

Raymond smiles modestly, closes the mercenary's diary and returns to the spaceship with opal to hand over the mission.

When they returned to the union, however, neither of them could laugh.

"How many times have I told you not to offend your employer --" The trade union clerk said, "otherwise, you will be deducted! Points deducted!! We've been sued! You are a disgrace to the city of sunlight! "

Opal roared: "would you please make it clear!! There is something wrong with this Commission... "

The clerk said, "if there is a problem, why don't you apply for arbitration first..."

Opal growled, "I've been frozen in that place for six days and six nights! He almost died in the stomach of a coelenterate... "

Clerk: "it's none of our business! Points to be deducted! "
