The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 113: Midnight Star (Part 2)

Jonah, who had learned a language of waste wood for no reason, was lying on the haystack with a complicated mood. He could not sleep for a long time. Under the root of the opposite wall, an oriental man named Asai was lying on his side, breathing calmly and long, should Already asleep, the astrologer apprentice carefully stood up to observe the partner in the room, confirming that the other party is asleep, and then took out the untitled book fragment from his arms, and then stared at it,

To be honest, Jonah now has a deep fear of the prophecy of the Betrayer Segles. Every prophetic scene he has experienced is a disaster. No matter how hard he tries, he has failed to prevent a disaster. Happened, but he knew in his heart that it was a mysterious prophet who brought him here with a series of events. Whether or not he is prepared, the next prophecy will be fulfilled at some time and somewhere,

"At the top of the blue castle, Ayala and Gamaliel heard the call of the heavenly messenger, the mountain peaks opened, the rain stopped, and thorn birds appeared on the singing road."

Predicted that Jonah collected a few pieces of scraps of paper, turned over, thinking about the meaning of this sentence, also there is no date to appear, the location is the top of the'blue castle', there is a blue castle in the southern continent Does it exist? It seems necessary to ask Asai tomorrow. Although he doesn’t know the Easterners very well, he seems to be a trustworthy person. If the swordsmanship can be stronger, Ayala and Gamaliel, It refers to myself and those who descended. It seems that when the time comes, the devil will reappear again. Who is the angel of the kingdom? Is it the main **** Sheila hidden in the engraving of the gods Sheila Fauna? There is a path for thorny birds to sing Where does it lead?

The astrologer apprentice was thinking wildly, not knowing when the sleepiness struck, he couldn't help falling asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the sun had already spilled in through the window, and the oriental was standing in front of the window looking at the sky, and he noticed The companion woke up, turned around and smiled: "Good morning, it looks like a good weather for traveling."

Jona rubbed his eyes, and it took a few minutes to remember where he was and who was next to him, "Asai, what time is it now, have the herdsmen been here?"

Asai took out the creaky and tattered pocket watch from his arms and fiddled with it. With the sound of sneering steam, the hands of the watch spun around, and finally pointed to 8:08. "It’s just past 8 o’clock, they It should come soon."

While talking, footsteps sounded outside the door. Two plates of food and two pots of soup were stuffed into the door. Jonah hurriedly shouted: "Quickly tell them who I am and let them open the door."

The oriental man walked to the door and repeated those words from last night. The two herdsmen outside the door looked a little confused after listening to them. They stood there, neither opening the door nor walking away. Jona had an idea and took it out. The astrologer apprentice badge was stuffed along the crack of the door, "Let them see for themselves."

Without Asai’s translation, the people outside suddenly exclaimed, and their footsteps ran away. After a few minutes, the chaotic running and shouting sounded. The Oriental tidied his clothes and laughed: "This is down. ."

The door was pulled open from the outside, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly filled the small stone house. Jonah couldn't help but squinted. After adjusting to the strong sunlight, he was surprised to find a man in a white robe kneeling on the ground outside the door. , The one who knelt down on one leg was the middle-aged uncle who stunned him with a wooden barrel yesterday. At the moment, he doesn’t look mighty at all. He held up the dark blue Astrologer Association badge with both palms. He bowed his head deeply, his shoulders couldn't help shaking,

The apprentices of astrologers never expected that these local residents would attach so much importance to their identity. Having lived in Saint-Borlen for many years, no one has taken the initiative to kneel to him, even a senior astrologer like Koshava. Many passersby bowed and saluted him. He turned his head to look at Asai in surprise. The Oriental smiled and said, "I know why, the war is about to begin. The Great Isaiah Ink is vigorously recruiting powerful people from all walks of life to join the Tocharian army. The members of the five major guilds are even more important. In the face of you big people, he must have issued more perverted regulations than the "Joint Amnesty Decree"."

"Then attacked me yesterday..." Jonah angrily took the badge and put it on his shirt.

"I also know why. As soon as the new regulations came out, there must have been more people cheating and drinking in the name of guild members. The border town of Malakanda must have suffered a lot of dumb losses. Badges, they won’t relax their vigilance.” Asai nodded in understanding, “What do you want me to translate now.”

"Oh, tell them, I forgive them. After breakfast, I want to find the fastest means of transportation to Bactria." Jona sighed, "Yes, of course there is forgiveness My new friend, he can compensate for all the losses of the dead livestock,...you can afford it." After saying this, he gave Asai a little vainly.

The Oriental replied embarrassedly: "I am poor... at least I am poor now..."

Jona reluctantly took out a deerskin bag and found a gold coin. This was accidentally brought out by the Backworm's Ridge when he unearthed the legacy of the Sand Pirate King. A few gold coins and two gems are part of this paragraph. All the souvenirs of the fantastic treasure hunt experience,

Asai repeated what Jona had said to the herdsmen. The leader uncle kissed the feet of the astrologer apprentice with gratitude and said that he did not dare to accept a gold coin for compensation. A few minutes later, they were invited to the largest one in the town. In the house, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, accompanied by the oldest elder in the town. According to the interpretation of the Oriental, this elder was the grandfather of Uncle Cask, and Malakanda was the most An erudite, the honorary mayor of the town,

"Honorary mayor, who is the mayor." Jonah couldn't help asking,

The elders with white beards that grow to their waists wore colorful turbans. They looked a level higher than the herdsmen with white turbans. Grandpa could speak the lingua franca of the Western Continent, and Jona could not help but look at him with admiration. "The mayor is an aristocratic master appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to administer Malakanda. He does not live here. He visits the town from the provincial government every Tuesday. Today happens to be Tuesday, May 7th, at around ten o'clock in the morning. Will arrive." The Honorary Mayor introduced,

"Please dine, please dine." Uncle Barrel at the side of Shili smiled and said in extremely non-standard Spanish,

The two men ate a hearty breakfast and listened to the grandfather’s introduction of Malakanda. As Asai said, in recent months, there have been many swindlers who scammed and deceived with the enlistment of the Great Sebainck. Surprisingly, just last Tuesday, a few were arrested. The mayor was escorted to the provincial government for trial. After repeated apologies, the elder opened his mouth and said, "Master astrologer, you and your swordsman partner You can take today’s steam puppet carriage to Bactria. There is a steam carriage going southeast every day in Malakanda. The carriage passes through Isfarhan, the capital of the Northwestern Province, and crosses the vast territory of the Tocharian Empire. It takes five to seven days to reach the Golden City directly, but only today, on Tuesdays of every week, on the basis of a fixed schedule, there will be a steam carriage specially prepared for VIPs to sail, that is, the Lord Mayor’s ride. The "Midnight Star" steam carriage is the fastest land vehicle in the entire southern continent."

Jonah's eyes lit up, "'Midnight Star', is it soon, how fast."

The honorary mayor proudly said: "Ordinary steam carriages can only drive from Malakanda to the City of Gold in a week, while the'Midnight Star' can go back and forth once a week."

"It only takes three days, which is great, then I can meet the deadline of May 15th and join my friends." Jonah waved his fist excitedly.

"Please have a meal, please have a meal." Uncle Cask thought that there was something dissatisfied with this big man, and whispered around next to him,

"Well, that's great, then I can finish the task before the debilitating period... right." The oriental touched his braid thoughtfully,

Jonah took a sip of fragrant sparkling wine from his glass, "By the way, I know that there is a very large ship in the endless sand sea called the'Racing Star'. Does it have anything to do with the'Midnight Star'? "

"Yes, yes, astrologer, wait a minute." The old man took out a pair of crystal stones and set his eyes on the bridge of his nose from nowhere, took out a dusty book from under the table, and flipped through it. When I arrived at a certain page, I started to mutter: "A long, long time ago, the Southern Continent was still a harmonious and pure land. There were no wars, no disasters, people scattered everywhere, and it was inconvenient to travel. So the Tantuha people created the sand worm building'Star of Speed.' ', the Flores created the steam carriage'Midnight Star', and the Vedic created the mobile castle'Royal Star'. Three stars illuminate the transportation civilization of the entire continent."

Jona thought for a while, "Tantukha people are an indigenous people in the endless sea of ​​sand. I know that the Vedic people are the residents of the Buddha country. Later, the rebels seized power and changed the name to the Vedas, right? , Who is the Flores."

"The aborigines of the southern Tocharian Empire, the inventor of the steam puppet technology, the dwarf race." Asai explained in a low voice,

"What, steam puppet art was not invented by us humans." The astrologer apprentice slammed the table in surprise, "Is there any dwarf in the steam puppet sorcerer association? The steam puppet sorcerer like the lame Henry is also Where did you learn the technology."

"Please have a meal, please have a meal." Uncle Cask said with sweat,

At this moment, the pepper shaker, soup bowl, wine in the wine glass, and dinner fork on the table jumped together, and the thunderous sound resounded across the sky, and the whole ground began to sway. Honorary Mayor He smiled and jumped off his chair: "Master Astrologer, Master Swordsman, the'Midnight Star' has arrived early again. Let's go out together to meet Lord Mayor, a real astrologer, he will be very happy to see Yours."
