The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 44: The Heart of the Desert (Part 2)

Now this "Geographical Survey of the Southern Continent" is lying quietly in the cargo hold of the three-masted sailing ship. Of course, the apprentice astrologer has not seen the two hundred and thirty-three kinds of irreverent feats listed in the chapter, but Stewart The reminders from his brothers and sisters were enough to make him understand that this amazing mountain in front of him is the legendary worm body,

"Is the queen worm really a ‘worm’? If so, how big is it... can it move?" Jona murmured,

"Since I am the mother of all sandworms, of course the worms are worms. Use your brain to make good cargo friends." Danny muttered, "Its movement speed is also close to 2 knots, 　 get close to you. I can feel it. The worms are constantly wandering in the endless sea of ​​sand, and all the figure 8 cruise routes of the sandworms are constantly changing. They can sense the direction of the worms in a way that humans can’t understand. Fortunately, The wandering route of the posterior worm is a relatively small natural figure eight, so that the patrol route of the sandworm is relatively fixed."

Jonah suddenly remembered what he had talked about before, "By the way, didn’t you say that when the mating season comes, male sandworms will fly all over the sky and mate with large female worms? Then why do you say that worms are everything? Mothers who are addicted to sandworms do not have their own parents."

"The two things are not at all contradictory, you will understand when you see it with your own eyes." Danny smiled and sold it, suddenly remembering something, his expression condensed, he patted his head, and walked over to grab the appointment. Na’s sleeves: "That’s right... My dad said in the message that his inheritance is near the postworm node. Now, can you find any way to find the position of the inheritance, cargo friend,"

Regarding the message of the King of Sand Pirates, Jonah had witnessed everything in the body occupied by the descent. He had also thought about this issue, but he could not find any confidence in the lack of the dagger "Blood Tornado". Out of the treasure, "Well, this...I need to study it." He replied faintly,

"Hurry up, man." Danny urged: "At the current speed, we will arrive at the post-worm node in seven hours."

"It's still seven hours." Jona, who has little experience in life, doesn't understand the truth of "Looking at the mountain and running to death",

"Nonsense, don't look close, it's actually more than a hundred miles away." The Stewart guy patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, come on, talk whatever you need, and we still have enough water. It's enough, if it can help you think... it's better to take a bath."

Looking at Danny’s painful expression when he put forward the above suggestions, Jonah knew that the endless sand sea residents love and hate bathing. Due to the full load of departure and the midway supply of the "Racing Star", he has since boarded the ship. Since the astrologer apprentice has not been troubled by lack of water, the water bottle in the cabin is always filled with sweet clean water, and washing his face does not seem so luxurious. But at this time, when it comes to taking a bath, Danny’s mouth began to twitch and barely pretended to be. A bold expression of "just use it",

"I... can you." Jonah said, the last time I took a bath was at Cherry Crossing. If Toba watched the door and simply rubbed his body in a wooden bucket, it would be considered a bath. It’s okay if I don’t usually think about this problem. Once the thought of taking a bath comes to my mind, there will be ubiquitous itchiness all over my body, like tens of thousands of small reptiles appearing on the skin, drilling and drilling into the body along every fold of the body. , Jonah rubbed his back secretly on the railing, staring at Hannah at the bow of the ship.

Hannah Stewart thought for a few seconds: "Of course, we had good luck this time. If this northeasterly wind continues, it won't take long to reach the Moza. Water is enough. Please use it. "

Five minutes later, Jonah appeared in the washroom at the stern part of the "Bactria's Blast". It was said that it was a washroom, but it was a narrow chamber covered with wooden boards on three sides, and one open facing the desert. Standing in the hut, three steps in front of him is the whispering tail carapace, and further away, there is the track of sand-loving worms emitting yellow sand billowing, and the tumbling course of dust and smoke crawls to the horizon like a serpentine snake.

When you lower your head, you can clearly see the large brass rivets passing through the wooden deck and firmly nailed to the sandworm's carapace. Because it is close to the end of the big worm, the vibration here is much greater than the middle deck. Jonah could not help but sway from the left to the right amid the blast of propulsion noise, holding on to the wall and barely stabilizing his figure,

"The scenery is beautiful, isn't it." The door opened a gap, and Danny passed in a set of well-washed underwear, a pair of old boots and a blue robe with a hood. He squeezed his face to the crack of the door again, with a smile on his face: "This room was originally used by the dead ghost father to execute traitors and executed prisoners. He stood at your position and smashed the head of some hapless ghost with a bang. Melon, the corpse fell into the desert and was immediately buried deep by the sand spouted by the chatter. For the endless sand sea people, this is a decent funeral, right?"

Jonah shuddered, and took a step aside, afraid that he would step on the shadow of the king of sand thief. He shook the blue robe and opened it. It was clear from the pattern and sewing technique. An astrologer's robe, the number three to four numbers larger than the one he was wearing, should belong to a burly astrologer, "This... how did it come." As soon as this question was spoken, he regretted it. Now, what is the source of the items found on the sand thief ship?

Danny scratched his head: "It's strange to say, you may not know that there are seven cabins in'Bacteria's Wind'. In addition to the three cabins where you, me, and sister live, there is also a storage of trophies. Room, food storage room, weapon preparation room and personal belongings room. The last cabin is where the father and the seven sailors stored their personal belongings. There are many weird things (of course, nothing valuable). This robe is not a trophy, but an item belonging to one of them. If you are interested, you can go in for a while and see what suits you. It's useless to keep it anyway, just take it."

"Sand Pirates sailors will have astrologer robes." Jonah felt that the three-masted ship was buried in countless secrets, "Well, thank you, I will take a look after the shower." /

"By the way, my cargo friend, where did you get your ugly staff." The Stewart man asked curiously, "Do you want to take it with you in the bath? Pass it to me and I will keep it for you. "

"No." Jonah nervously hugged the disguised "Sirafaena", "I mean...no, I'm fine."

"Whatever you want." Danny shrugged and slammed the door. "I have turned on the pump. Pulling the rope above my head will cause water to flow down. You must save some money."

"I see." Jonah nodded,

He took off his dirty and torn clothes one by one, and when he touched his underwear pocket, he suddenly felt a sudden heart. A few pages of the untitled book lay quietly there, waiting for the son of destiny to continue reading, astrology The apprentice warlock was filled with fear and confusion, holding the yellowed paper, and daring not to turn to the next prophecy,

"In the place of eternal glory, Ayala and Gamaliel met for the first time. They embraced each other and spoke the words of the saints." This prophecy has been fulfilled. In the legendary astrology tower "Anglicia" The ruins, the time-space intersecting point "Mirror of Eternity" made by the original astrology teacher Gilberto Gilbernaion, Jonah felt for the first time the actions of the descendants with a clear mind, and in his own body, with The Adventists had their first conversation, and the taste was not wonderful. If it were to "hug each other", Segles, the all-knowing traitor, undoubtedly made a joke with himself with frivolous words.

Jonah’s fingers were trembling, and every prophecy that had been fulfilled in the past made him feel deep pain. Thinking that there are so many dense words waiting in the future, he felt his heart tightened with fear and struggled. After a long time, he finally bit his lip, unfolded the old papyrus, and found the last prophecy,

"In the place of eternal glory, Ayala and Gamaliel met for the first time. They embraced each other and spoke the words of the saints."

Then, he moved his lips lightly, and read the narrative of the next nameless book in a dry voice:

"The place where everything begins and ends, the four elements are merged into one, uncovering the secrets of 540 suns for those who travel together."

"That's it." Jonah read this prophecy five times, and the pounding heart gradually subsided. Unlike any of the previous prophecies, this prophecy seemed to have nothing to do with him. The “companion” found a secret scene in an unknown location, and predicted that the exact time and geographic location did not appear, and it did not seem to be dangerous. Jona felt a little settled in his heart. He carefully collected the remaining pages of paper and took it off. Put off your underwear and stack it aside, ready to take a bath first,

One side of the house faces the endless sea of ​​sand, but in the deserted desert, Jonah has no reason to feel shy. He finds a thin rope above his head and pulls it tentatively, and a piston on the roof opens. The warm water rushed down and poured on his head. The astrologer apprentice closed his eyes and felt the water flow through the skin to wash away the sand and dust. Every molecule in the body stretched and swelled under the infiltration of water, giving out contentment. Moaning,

A small steam puppet machine pumps the clean water in the water tank to the top deck, and slowly flows through the vast aft cabin roof. The heat of the desert sun can heat the water to a suitable level in a short time. Temperature, the golden yellow Materaktiri becomes a natural water heater,

"The power of the sun...different from the power of the stars, it is a passionate and powerful force..." Jonah stretched out his hand and rubbed his dirty curly hair, while sighing. Suddenly, his movements stopped. , A thought came to his mind, Jonah wiped his face, shook the water on his head, rushed to the corner of the room, picked up a piece of untitled book paper, and said: "Untie five hundred and forty for those who travel. The secret of the sun..."

Three suns are shining on the continent, the golden matraktelli, the bright red Yiucotel, and the dark blue Quiavello appear in turn for ten days. If "five hundred and forty suns" refer to Is the number of times each sun appears, so this period of time is......

After a simple mental arithmetic, the apprentice astrologer opened his mouth in shock: "Brother and sister Stewart...15 years."
