Chapter 141: Sword of the Starry Sky 1 (Yolanda's Gaiden)

170 years later, the world of Kasan, the star field of Ben Chahoban.

Yolanda Chipin, the elf of the HΓ©rault, stared silently at the starry sky outside the porthole. The cold, high-strength glass slightly reflects her cold shadow against the pure black background.

Outside the porthole, at a distance of about two astronomical units, an ice-blue star was spinning wildly. In its violent trajectory, a huge amount of matter was inexplicably attracted and ejected out of its own atmosphere, and at the top of the air crown, it converged into a bright blue band of light, shooting into deep space farther away.

Once upon a time, this giant star had a twin brother. Due to an accidental catastrophe in the universe, its brother collapsed into a magnetar, and quickly moved away from the orbit that had embraced each other.

But even after millions of years, the bond between them has not been broken. This bright blue band of accretive light, wrapped in a large number of deuterium atoms, rushed all the way, following the trajectory of the gravitational well, chasing its twin brother from which it would never return.

The crazy burning blue, the strange and distorted flow trajectory, like the pen in the hand of a surreal painter, the graffiti left in the dark starry sky, abrupt and intense.

This is the Blue Rapids, one of the famous attractions in the Benchahoban Star Field. This star, commonly known as the "Blue Brother", and its brilliant accretion bands attract cosmic tourists.

And, the guys who fancy the wallets of tourists.

Yolanda stared blankly at the cosmic spectacle, except for a pendant on her chest that swayed slightly with the magpie. The pendant is an artificial amber with a completely shriveled eyeball sealed inside.

The Kashan elves, Ted Cogner, leaned against the wall, his hands on his chest, his heels turning in boredom. He knew Yolanda's temper. If you disturb her at this time, you won't have a good face for the next few days.

Almost two hundred years have passed, and the lost elf in front of him has rapidly grown into a powerful captain. Kassandra's well-known ruthless β€”β€”β€”β€” the sword of the stars, Yolanda, a name that often puzzled Ted. It seems that the confused and timid exotic elf when I met him at the beginning will never come back.

Thankfully, at least one thing hasn't changed, then, or now. Every time she came to a new star field, she would stop at the porthole for a long time to gaze.

Just like it is now.

Ted rolled over his hand and looked at his terminal watch and decided not to wait any longer. He had been standing behind her for more than a hundred years and didn't want to wait any longer.

"Goods from Ruigang."

Ted pulled two cigars out of his jacket pocket and handed one to Yolanda. It wasn't until then that Yolanda came back from her trance, and she glanced at Ted and took the cigar.

"Ten out of 10 doctors I've seen will advise me to quit smoking. Ten out of ten gentlemen I've seen would say that smoking makes a woman look cheap. The elf expertly pinched the tail of the cigar.

"I'm the eleventh."

Dr. Ted snapped his fingers, and a bright flame ignited from his fingertips. Two large smoking guns held the flame together and lit the cigar in their hands.

"It tastes good." Savoring the sweet fragrance between her lips and teeth, Yolanda glanced at the sign on the cigarette butt and wrote it down, "So, you went to Ruigang last time?" ”

"yes, just passing by." Ted puffed out a puff of cigarette and noticed Yolanda's mocking look, he paused and confessed, "Well, I was there to defend my MD dissertation. ”

"Ted." Yolanda tilted her head and continued to look out the porthole, "You took the medical exam, and this is not a shameful act that needs to be concealed. ”

"After so many years to deserve its name, I always feel a little embarrassed."

Ted touched his nose.

One hundred and seventy years ago, the world of Kashan was hit by a space-time earthquake of unexplained proportion. Some people are lost in broken time and space, never to find their way home.

However, there are also some new faces that appear in the Kasan world, and Yolanda is one of them. This exotic elf pilots an awesome spaceship and rescues a shipwrecked traveler along the way.

That traveler was Ted Cogner, and he remembered all the details. A sturdy woman jumped into the freezing depths of the sky without any protection, slashed open the rescue pod with her short sword, and then jumped back to the Magpie with him.

That was Ted Cogner's first glimpse of Yolanda Chipin.

Faced with the questioning of this beautiful and powerful person of the opposite sex, Ted made a lie to the gods.

He calls himself a doctor, but in reality, he is just a cook on a spaceship.

"Ted, you don't have to blame yourself." Yolanda held her cigar between her fingers and watched the faint smoke swirl upwards, then caught by the ship's air circulation system, and vanished, "Over the years, you have saved everyone many times, including me. So you're the Magpie's doctor, there's no doubt about that! ”

Yolanda was hit by a spacequake and couldn't find her way home, instead living in the world of Kasan. Fortunately, the ship she drove was very good, because the Magpie was unmatched by several world modifications.

She relied on the Magpie and ran a delivery company. Because the service is quite distinctive, the business is really good, and it can be said that in recent years it has become famous in Kassandra.

Everyone in the crew knew Ted Cogna as a doctor, and they affectionately called him Dr. Ted.

In order to justify his lie, poor Ted had to bite the bullet again and again, flipping through medical books while rescuing his dying companions.

A few years ago, Ted, who was overwhelmed, finally confessed to his friends at a party that he was not a doctor at all, but a cook.

Unexpectedly, everyone didn't think so.

"Ted." At that time, Yolanda said, "Since you are the cook, you will be left to cook." I'm just fed up with Hazan's chowder! ”

Hazan is a giant stitch monster who serves as the Magpie's chief engineer, artillery officer, and cook. This damn bastard is a chowder madman, and he's a hodgepodge himself.

Everyone applauded Yolanda's decision, and even toasted together, including Hazan himself. That's when Ted realized that every partner knew he was an impostor.

It's just that a fake doctor is better than no doctor. Magpie takeaways are all desperate deals, don't think they're giving them beef macaroni. A big war usually leads to a lack of arms and legs, and this is when the rough guys will shout: "Doctor! I need treatment! ”

Then he went to the hospital bed, and threw all his troubles to the poor impostor doctor Ted Cogner, who made him the most doctor-like man on the ship.

Recalling the past, the two people in front of the porthole had some smiles on their lips. Seeing that Ted didn't speak, Yolanda teased his subordinates:

"Ted, you don't really care about medical certificates, it's just a piece of broken paper."

"This piece of broken paper is very important to me."

Ted reached out and flicked the ashes.

I will propose to you as a respectable doctor, not a ridiculous cook, he thought silently.

"Okay." Yolanda didn't understand why the old fellow was so serious about a diploma, but since Ted was so insistent on one thing, it was a little unreasonable for her to be so dismissive. She asked, "What was the outcome of the defense?" ”

Not only was Ted her subordinate, her partner, her long-time friend, but the first person she met in the Kasan world.

Without Ted, Yolanda wouldn't have been able to step out of the shadows so quickly, so this somewhat out of tune Kashan elf has a special meaning for Yolanda.

It makes sense that she should be concerned about the outcome of Ted's defense.

"The result is a mixed bag." Ted replied.

This fake doctor has a lot of experience in clinical practice, but the theoretical foundation is almost zero, and the final defense requires a purely theoretical thesis.

"Fortunately, my dissertation seems to involve a condition that no one has ever touched on before, and the professors even named it 'Ted syndrome', and they are very sure of the significance of my dissertation."

"What's the downside?"

"Probably because of my lack of theoretical level, the professors thought my conclusions were very hasty."

"Oh?"

Yolanda finally turned to Dr. Ted, who was now suddenly interested in Ted Syndrome. Being able to leave her name in a book was a big surprise to her. The Magpie Takeaway is a bunch of bastard warriors, and Yolanda has always thought that if the names of their old buddies appear on paper, they must be on the wanted notice.

Instead of in a bright and spacious classroom, a sanctimonious barking beast pointed and said, "This is Mr. Ted who first discovered this."

It's a terrifying scene!

"Can you tell me what this Ted syndrome is?"

"It's ......"

Dr. Ted was about to show it off, but the conversation was interrupted by the bridge's communication overhead.

"Call the eldest sister, the target has entered the horizon, call the eldest sister, put out the smoke for me!"

Crisp Zhengtai tone.

Shouting on the bridge was Lumi, the intelligence officer of Magpie Delivery, in the form of a cute human boy of eight or nine years old. Of course, we all know that shapeshifters, regardless of age, race, gender, or cuteness, are not taken seriously.

When they first met, Yolanda was really rubbed a lot of oil by this "cute little brother", and was even asked to take a shower together. She can't be blamed for this, there is no record of such a despicable villain as a Transfiguration in Castile.

After learning the truth, Yolanda makes Lumi, the shapeshifter, fully understand the meaning of the word "torment". The cunning shapeshifter was stuffed into Hazan's cauldron and fried in boiling oil for a whole day and a night.

It's a veritable ordeal.

The so-called bridge is just the cockpit in front of the Magpie, and it is only a dozen meters away from the place where Yolanda had just smoked. The only thing that can be attached to the bridge is probably the 180Β° panoramic sunroof on the front. This Falcon-class racing ship has excellent speed performance, but it is actually a small ship, and it is definitely not comparable to the Navy's standard-class battleships.

Of course, they can't compete with the Brilliant that is getting closer and closer in their field of vision.

The Radiance, one of Kassandra's most prestigious luxury yachts, lives up to its name, like a high-beam dog in the dark universe. Even if there was still a distance of 3 light minutes, the Magpie on the bridge was blinded by the light, and had to raise photons to block the barrier.

This out-and-out tycoon ship consumes 80% of its engine power on meaningless light. Of course, for those courtesans, the Radiance is called a real spaceship.

"That fat pig has always had such bad taste." Yolanda kicked the fake Lutami who was in the command seat, pinched the communicator and shouted, "Pigson, fat pig!" Get out, my mother has work to do! ”

When Yolanda and Ted had just landed in Kassandra, they did deliver takeaways for a while. Their main job is to carry hot beef macaroni from the kitchen onto the Magpie and give it to foodies who are too lazy to go out.

Unfortunately, Kassandra's folk customs are quite simple, and many foodies are significantly more interested in beautiful delivery girls than in beef macaroni. After slaughtering a dozen idiots who dared to stretch out his groping hands, Yolanda decided to change his business philosophy.

She removed all the online takeaway product lists, leaving only one sentence:

Dear customer! No matter what you need, the head of the enemy, the XXX of the rival in love, or the top-secret research materials of Ruigang, as long as you place an order, Magpie Takeaway, the mission will be achieved!

It's a very ingenious way of doing business, and Yolanda has put on the cloak of legal business for such an old profession as a killer. Kassandra's top brass noticed her, praising her for "breathing a new life into the lifeless socio-economy."
