The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 93: The Son of the Dragon (Part 1)


After the conversation with the Moonlight Elf ended, Jonah lay down tightly wrapped in his robes, and was a restless night of sleep. Although he gradually got used to galloping in the endless sea of ​​sand at a speed of fifty knots, the ghost of Bahamas was on his body. Small humans like parasites still wake up from dreams again and again. He hides his body in the corner of a narrow room as much as possible, trying to find a little bit of safety in the dark night,

At last it dawned, and Jonah did not delay another minute. He removed the wooden frame blocking the door and let the sunlight illuminate the small room and the strange symbols on the floor. "Is it violent? …Come on then." He raised the staff Sirafauna, and after a moment of meditation, "Boom." The mushroom farm trident penetrated the floor like a hot red iron spear, a large hole with neat edges. Appearing in the center of the room, "Shoo..." The air was sucked in by the hole, and the astrologer apprentice stepped back vigilantly, watching from a distance,

A few minutes later, the howling caused by the air flow disappeared, indicating that the pressure in the cave and the outside world had reached equilibrium. Jonah slowly walked to the front, lighting up the star array and approaching the entrance of the cave. The dark room, from this angle, it is impossible to judge how big the room is. Jonah tried to shout, the echo appeared empty, indicating that this is a very empty open space,

The room is not too high. Jonah estimated that he would not be injured if he jumped down, but it was a problem to climb up. He thought about it, took off his robe and twisted it into a wooden storage shelf. I tried it hard, the wooden frame did not move, and it could bear the weight of a person.

"Huh..." Jona took two deep breaths while stroking his chest, suppressing the fear in his heart, "Come on." He closed his eyes, forced his legs, and jumped into the second floor room.

The sound of the wind whizzed from behind the ears, and the falling process seemed very long, but at last there was a plop and he landed safely. The astrologer apprentice immediately stood up straight and raised the staff, adjusting the output power of the illuminated star array to the maximum, and the space was wide. 'S room is illuminated, and the light extends to the four walls of the room, without an obstacle casting a shadow around,,, this room is empty,

Jona took a sigh of relief, and then felt a little disappointed. The room was 2,000 square feet in size, showing an irregular oval shape. There were no doors or windows, and the ground was uneven, showing signs of manual excavation, but it never happened. After proper repairs,

"What's the function of such a room..." Jonah muttered to himself. His voice echoed in the empty room. He accidentally frightened himself. He wandered towards a wall and followed The details on the wall became clear, and his expression gradually turned into surprise, "This is... a mural."

He stood in front of a wall and looked at the colorful murals in shock. It turned out that the shape of the room was not an oval, but a polygon composed of twenty-four walls. Each wall was different in width, but all Very flat, twenty-four exquisite murals cover every corner of the house. The one in front of Jonah, in the yellow tone, outlines the undulating curves with charcoal, and a few strokes will cover the boundless sea of ​​sand. Presented before my eyes, the painter’s brushstrokes are very vivid. A black shadow walks through the ocher sand dunes. Jonah recognizes that the black shadow on the painting is the ghost of the Bahamas. On the mural, this behemoth has A huge body, a skull full of spurs, four eyes, three pairs of strong feet, and a long tail. The appearance is not among any creatures he knows, but for some reason, it looks a bit familiar. ,

"Is this what the ghost Bahamas looks like..." the astrologer apprentice murmured. There are a few lines of handwritten characters in the upper right corner of the mural. The font is the same as the symbols on the floor of the room above. It seems that the creator of the mural is on it. The owner of the quiet room, a detail caught Jona’s attention. On the screen, the two pairs of eyes of the ghost Bahamas shed tears at the same time. The red tears, the red water droplets representing tears, are intermittently sprinkled on the long tail of the giant beast. I don’t know the author. What do you want to express,

Jona turned to other screens,

Half an hour later, after reading all the murals, he returned to the center of the room thoughtfully, sat on the floor and hugged the staff, lost in thought. Each mural on the wall represented a frozen moment. Fourteen moments tell a complete story, the story of the ghost of the Bahamas. Although I can’t understand the words left by the painter, the life of the giant beast has been branded in the heart of the astrologer apprentice. The vivid picture directly shakes his soul. , In chronological order, the twenty-four murals tell one by one:

One, a long time ago, there was such an era of magic, where dragons could be seen in every corner of the continent, and different types of dragons ruled the sky of the world;

Two, dragons fight, play, collect treasures, leaving endless legends;

Three, adult male dragons occasionally mate with different species, giving birth to various half-dragon beasts, half-dragon is a species abandoned by the dragon family, and the soul abandoned by the dragon god;

Fourth, the black dragon from the east is the overlord of the sky, with a distinctive slender body and lightning-like flying speed, with flames from its mouth and thunder and lightning with its claw tips;

Fifth, the black dragon came to the southern continent, attracted by the many treasures of the Golden City, and stayed here for a long time;

Six, the black dragon, which is king of the mainland, flies over the endless sea of ​​sand. The first and only mother of the desert looked up from the ground;

Seven, the black dragon landed in front of the queen worm, and the powerful creatures felt each other's power;

Eight, the queen worm becomes the companion of the black dragon, and the whole desert trembles with their joy;

Nine, the war has begun. Golden dragons, silver dragons, copper dragons, brass dragons, bronze dragons, red dragons, green dragons from the West and Chilong, Jiaolong, Kuilong, Yinglong, Huanglong, and Black Dragons from the East Divided into two factions, the war of the dragon race swept the world. Elves, gnomes, cyclops and red monsters, war ghosts, and tree spirits participated in the battle as the help of the two parties. The sky was full of flames and lightning, and the lives of magical creatures disappeared like fireworks. A huge explosion occurred, the endless sand sea capsized to the southwest, and the big sand waterfall appeared;

Ten, the war is not won or lost, the sky has lost the shadow of the dragon race, the black dragon has left and never returned;

Eleventh, the worm gave birth to a new life, and the descendants of the dragon clan remained silent in her body for eight hundred years;

Twelfth, finally, the mother of the desert gave birth to the first and only half-dragon sand-eater. On the day of production, the endless sand sea rained the first heavy rain in 800 years;

Thirteen, the half dragon inherited the power and wisdom of his father, but lost the ability to fly. The powerful black dragon bloodline makes it a dragon, but it can only run with its head down in the desert and eat into the dirty yellow sand. , Not the flowing clouds in the sky;

Fourteen, the half-dragon lost its sanity, running aimlessly in the endless sea of ​​sand, shed blood and tears, chasing after the sun;

Fifteenth, the half dragon ran into the tower where the astrologer lived. The astrologer was very angry and summoned the power of the stars to impose punishment on the half dragon;

Sixteen, the astrologer communicated with the half-dragon through the legendary artifact, and decided to help the black dragon’s heirs retrieve the glory of the dragon race;

Seventeen, the astrologer changed the appearance of the half-dragon body, using its flesh and blood to depict a mysterious array that can store the power of the stars;

Eighteen, the astrologer designed a complicated star array that no one has seen before, telling the children of the black dragon that as long as they run in the desert according to the outline of the star array, one day they may accumulate enough energy to change the appearance of time and space. , Awaken the power of the black dragon and fly to the place where the ancestors have soared for generations;

Nineteen, failed to complete the final work, the astrologer disappeared with his tower, the half dragon firmly remembered the huge star array, but did not know what the last part of the star array looked like;

Twenty, a half-dragon can’t stop. Only by moving fast can it swallow more yellow sand, absorb more nutrients, and build a strong body, so that it can move faster and get closer to its father’s. Footprints, he penetrated sand dunes, smashed mountains, and crushed all obstacles on the strong road into pieces. Nothing can stop the powerful blood of the dragons from marching forward;

Twenty-one, year after year passed, half dragon used endless sand sea as canvas and his own footprints as paintbrushes, drawing the huge star array of astrologers over and over again, it kept trying the last part of the shape, But never succeeded;

Twenty-two, a lonely half-dragon runs alone, and a horrible legend was born because of it. For too long, no one remembers its origin. Its name is filled with the deep hatred of desert people;

Twenty-three, the ascetic monk came to the endless sea of ​​sand, accompanied by the lonely behemoth for a short time, and the monk resonated with the half-dragon, so he realized the supreme truth between the heaven and the earth, and penetrated the mystery of survival and destruction;

Twenty-four, the monk bid farewell to the half-dragon, returned to his country to spread the truth, painted and recorded the story of the half-dragon before leaving, looking forward to the hundreds of years of sorrow and sorrow that the next human fortunate to be with it will learn about it. Perseverance, to provide it with help that monks can’t provide, to help the dragon’s heirs return to the sky,

In the last mural, the monk transformed his image into four faces. Jonah didn’t understand what it meant and whether it meant a change after "piercing through the porch",

The true face of the ghost Bahamas is completely different from the imagination of the astrologer apprentice. He did not expect that the nightmare destroyer of the endless sand sea should have such a life experience. For a hundred years, the lonely half dragon has been endless day and night, persistently drawing the incompleteness over and over again. In the trajectory of the star array, Jonah stroked the rough skin of the giant beast under him, and his heart was full of empathy and desolation,

There are two other things that he did not expect. First, that era of magic that has never been seen in any historical records really exists; second, the first mentor Gilberto Gilbernaion actually played a very important role in it. It can even be said that the first generation of teachers created the legendary ghost of Bahamas. This story has not been included in any astrological books. The unfinished star array disappears into the turbulence of time and space together with the astrological tower Anicia. , If you have known this past, you should ask the first generation instructor to complete this star formation in the illusion of the well of light......
