The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 26: The Mirror of Eternity (Part 2)

Hannah came in again in the afternoon, brought bandages and potions, and bandaged the wounds on Jona’s palm. Her forehead was also wrapped in bandages, and her forehead was red and swollen like a scrape on the bow of a ship worth 60 silver coins. , But fortunately no blood oozes anymore,

Hannah grabbed Jonah's hand and wiped the stain on the wound with a cotton swab dipped in red potion, "Oh." The sudden pain caused Jonah to shudder and shouted,

Hannah showed that kind of smile again, and looked at him with a little curiosity: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, no, it's okay... It's just a little bit painful." The astrologer apprentice replied weakly, trying to maintain the dignity of a man,

Hannah's slashed lip line has an upward curve,

The breath of the woman made Jonah feel a little dizzy. He secretly retracted his body. For some reason, Danny Stewart, Jonah himself, and all the desert men in the Racing Star Tavern smelled Like the unpleasant mixture of yellow sand, tobacco, alcohol, leather goods and sweat smell, only Hannah’s side is enveloped by the faint fragrance of Ruoyouruowu. Jona does not know whether there is a good smell hidden in her red cloak. Perfume or sachet, I just think this smell is like a refreshing summer breeze,

Hannah’s fingers are slender and soft, with the unique heat of a desert woman. Jona lowers her head and covers her hot cheeks with her hair. The pain in her palm lengthens the time scale, and the sun is quiet, blowing in from the cabin door. With a faintly warm wind, the astrologer apprentice enjoys this silent relationship, but as the tape sticks the white gauze tightly, the contemporary Patriarch Stewart stands up and pats Jonah’s hand: “Well, don’t get wet for these two days. It will be well soon. After a long time, you will not be afraid of this degree of friction after the palms grow calluses. Speaking of which, among the people who work on sailing all year round, only the squeamish guy like Danny still has a pair of tenderness. Hands."

Hannah showed her palm to Jonah. Her palm did indeed have a circle of white calluses floating on the smooth skin surface. Obviously, she didn’t think the calluses ruined the beauty of women, but because of the uniqueness of the sailor. Proud of features,

Jonah couldn’t do anything other than nod her head. Hanna turned her cloak and left the cabin. The astrologer apprentice looked down at her bandaged palm, feeling a little confused,

He picked up the quill again,

The research on the Magic Array of White Sakura in Summer is progressing very slowly. As the sun slants west, the sunlight entering through the cabin door gradually dims. Jona rubs his sore eyes and realizes that he can no longer see the papyrus. He has just described the Mithril thread of the sixth ruby. There are as many as forty thin threads entwined with each other, presenting a chaotic radial shape, but the astrologer apprentice has gradually found the pattern. Starting from the first ruby, these A small half of the numerous Mithril wires are useless. He piled up two stacks of papyrus on his desk, one of which was the magical pistol's energy radiating magical array, and the other half was because of these unknown meanings, but against the magical array. Strange lines that create a burden,

The deeper the research, the more he feels the similarities between the magic array and the star array. They use various geometric shapes to complete the collection, transmission, refinement, excitation and emission of energy, regardless of astrologers and magicians. In fact, the way of using energy is quite similar. Jona scratched his head. What would happen if you use the power of the stars to drive a magic circle? This kind of thing must have been done in the long history of magic in the mainland. But there is no record in all the books he has read,

Danny’s head reappeared at the gangway entrance. Walking down the steps with him, there was a bright lamp. The oval glass cover placed on the brass base cast a warm yellow halo through the glass. , I can’t see what’s burning inside, only a slight “hiss” sound is heard, like a creature in the lampshade who is breathing constantly,

Looking at his cargo, friends looked at this lamp curiously, Danny triumphantly fiddled with the brass lamp holder, and smiled: "This is a lime gas lamp. Just put in limestone powder and put enough pressure on this handle. If you light the flame again, it will keep glowing all night. This is the latest work of the craftsman Qu Weishti, even if it is a new thing in the entire southern continent."

"Qu...what." Jonah said in confusion,

"The western province of the Vedic country is not far from Punjab." The male Stewart explained, "It is a place where ethnic minorities live, the home of skilled craftsmen, and a natural sacred place for steam puppet warlocks. Shiti’s qualified steam puppet warlocks accounted for more than half of the entire continent."

"Oh oh." Jonah didn't understand too much. In his head, the Southern Continent was still a dark area covered with mist. There were scattered country and city names in his memory, and there was no way to combine them. As for the assistant map, he couldn't help asking: "By the way, Danny, is there a book called "Geography of the Southern Continent"."

"What is the calculation." This time it is the opponent's turn to be confused,

"It's okay." The astrologer apprentice hurriedly waved, "I have drawn a small magic circle and found many strange places. If it is more efficient, I can fully replicate the summer white cherry blossoms tonight. It's running mode."

Danny’s eyes lit up: "Really, great, you don’t want to do anything, just do your work, leave the rest to us, I will have dinner in an hour, this time I often Barbecue craftsmanship, fresh four-winged moa wings meat with Danny’s secret barbecue sauce, marinated and flavored, grilled on both sides, tender on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and spicy, it is so fragrant that you can swallow your tongue. Go inside."

Jonah couldn't help but pour cold water: "I didn't say that I could find your father's message, I just summarized the unreasonable places..."

"An la An la, you are an astrologer." Danny seemed more confident than the person involved, "My dad is just a sand thief who doesn't know a few words, he can save anything. Next, a mysterious message that even you can’t solve."

After putting down the hissing strange lamp, Danny walked out of the cabin, Jonah sighed, spread out the papyrus again, and pointed the magic pistol with a magnifying glass. In fact, after an afternoon of work, he had already touched some doorways. , The magic circle used to emit energy rays is basically the same as the "scorching rays". He saw many familiar expressions, and even found a "Gilberto spiral" in the energy amplification part,

The logarithmic spiral, named after Gilberto Gilbernaion, the original astrology teacher, is an entry-level geometric figure that every apprentice astrologer must master. It is used in most of the energy According to Koshava’s words, the “Gilberto Spiral” has almost become the iconic logo of the astrologer in the constellation of the augmented and expanded operation. The doorway is engraved with the geometric pattern of Gilberto's spiral to show respect for the first generation of astrology teachers.

Is there exactly the same spiral shape in the magician’s world? Jonah didn’t know this, but the familiar graphics saved him a lot of effort, as long as the seemingly messy mithril thread was a Jill. Berto screw, the next job is to find the input, output and screw body, and separate the useless parts.

He drew the seventh circle representing the ruby ​​node on the paper. The seventh gem is located in the center of the top of the magic pistol. It is the densest mithril line. It obviously plays an important role in the complex magic circle. But after only one glance, Jonah exclaimed: "What a joke."

None of the fifty mithril threads emitted by this gem is part of the magic circle. In other words, this gem did not play any role in the firing process of the magic pistol. Apprentice astrologer I nervously approached the light source, traced the whereabouts of the line with a magnifying glass, and found that if it is connected with the useless Mithril line among the first six gems, the seventh gem is basically the activation center of another magic circle.

There is another magic circle hidden on the white cherry blossoms in summer,

Jonah was refreshed and quickly took the pile of papyrus with useless lines and spread it out on a table. According to the shape indicated by the seventh gem, he placed the blueprint he had just drawn in the center on the table. I tried several combinations, and quickly formed an incomplete geometric figure. With the seventh gem as the center, the unclear lines extending from the first to sixth gems were clearly part of a huge magic circle. Jonah covered his mouth and was shocked by his discovery,

This hidden circle did not operate. Instead, it was interfering with the operation of the white cherry blossoms of summer, making the magic pistol have to wait for cooling every five shots. Jonah stood up and wanted to shout at the outside. Let Danny share the latest results, but the boy from the Stewart family shouted first with his loud voice: "Set up the reflector, I am in charge of the mast, and you are in charge of the deck."

Hannah replied something, I can’t hear clearly,

Jona immediately rushed up the gangway. Night had fallen, and darkness had enveloped the endless sea of ​​sand, but in the distance ahead, an extremely tall beam of light stood on the horizon, illuminating the sky with a holy white light, "...that Is it the Well of Light?" Staring at the cylinder made up of pure light, Jona opened his mouth wide and asked ambiguous questions.

"Yes, my cargo friend, what's new." Danny hurriedly carried a stack of reflectors and ran past him. By the way, the reflectors were made of silver-plated thin steel plates and light wooden frames. Danny quickly climbed up the scarred main mast, fastened the largest reflector to the top of the mast, and twisted it tightly with a cable. "I know what you are thinking." He didn't forget to chat with Jonah. "Just be here. Just cover the reflector directly above. The light in the well of light is shot vertically. As long as we hide within the ninety-degree projection of the reflector, we are safe."

As the three-masted sailboat approached, the Well of Light became more and more majestic. Compared with the 700-yard big sand waterfall that can only be seen with a high head, this light from the clouds cannot estimate the height at all. The entire field of vision Lit by the bright light, Jonah trembled to see the rare wonders in his life. The dazzling light was driving away the darkness bit by bit. Every yard forward, light and darkness alternate. That majestic , The solemn, unsightly pure light is like the slowly opening door of heaven, welcoming the "Bactria's gust" to sail out of the sea of ​​darkness, into the embrace of the Lord God,

Danny descended to the ground along the mainmast, squinting his eyes: "It's spectacular, isn't it, a great view of the endless sea of ​​sand, don't ask me why this pillar is called the "well" of light, I don't know, besides There is also a legend that when a small number of selected people pass here, they can get the parable of the main **** and see the picture of the past and the future. Therefore, these people call this place the "Mirror of Eternity", this kind of nonsense. I don’t believe it. If the main **** Luta were to send down the oracle, a thunder would have killed my unscrupulous dad as early as fifteen years ago. There is no need to wait until today..."

I can’t hear the nagging to Danny at all, Jonah stroked his chest, trembling and clenching his teeth,
