The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 104: Walking Alone on Stars and Moon Nights (Part 1)
"Change" is the most terrible thing. Not everyone likes magnificent adventures. Although Jonah is very yearning for the stories in knight novels, the introverted teenagers don’t like strange things. If time can stay On a sunny and warm afternoon on the red earth plains, it’s so great that the days of curling up on the bed in the small room of the astrology tower and reading astrology books can last forever. Mr. Koshava is fiddling with the equipment in the laboratory on the top of the tower, and the sky is far away. The Redstone Fort was plated with dazzling gold by the sun, the air was as calm as a transparent crystal, and the aroma of food came. The cook began to prepare dinner, put down the charcoal pen and stretched out, playing with the little steam puppet robot "Limp Leg Henry II", waiting for the time for dinner,
Jonah is willing to use all he can give in exchange for this precious time. This journey is torturing the souls of astrologers all the time. Segles the Betrayer manipulates himself with invisible lines, fighting along the way, Laughing, meeting and parting are so unreal in retrospect. It turns out that Jonah’s memory disappeared as quietly as the two years experienced in the Tongtian Tower. Sometimes facing the mirror, the 17-year-old could hardly recognize who the person in the mirror was. ,
At this moment, he has crossed the threshold with one foot, and silently said to his friends "Treasure." Changes, great changes come again, from the moment when he reunited with the pitchfork partners, Jonah knew this. The day will come at last, but I didn’t expect it to come so fast and so urgently. Only this time, Segles’ prophecy revealed the prospect of death. Jonah seemed to see the faceless prophet hiding in the tomb with a grim sneer. : I know that this is a road to hell, I will not hesitate to embark on the journey,
"Please wait, your Excellency Jonathan."
A gentle voice sounded from behind, and green vines broke out of the soil, gently entwining the ankles of the astrologer, Elliott said calmly: "Miss Long Ji’s whereabouts is very clear, as the daughter of the patriarch of the big family , Even if the crime imposed on her is serious, it will be convicted after a long trial. Don’t be so impulsive. Please leave a moment and discuss some things clearly."
"Ellie, Ellie." The little grasshopper grabbed the rose knight's red cloak, flusteredly not knowing what to say,
"...I see, I was too impulsive." Jonah took a few seconds to think, nodded, turned around in silence, and the vines tying the ankles withered, dried, and turned into fly ash. , The astrologer stayed at the door, standing on the dividing line between staying and leaving, using his posture to build a wall of decisiveness between himself and his partner,
The knight said: "Mr. Long Shenlin, can you tell me about the situation of the Long family, if you violate your cultural tradition or oath, of course you can refuse."
Xiaolong said excitedly: "I will say, and I will tell you what I know." His chest wrapped in gauze fell together, turning a blind eye to the blood oozing out of his chest. The pattern of peaceful coexistence, although the families ruling the country have changed from time to time over the past few hundred years, large-scale wars rarely occur. There are 17 large families with a long history in the mainland, known as the "Eastern Seventeen", each family All of them have great strength, among which the four schools of Dragon, Meng, Mo, and Wu are the most powerful."
"The Mo Family is the imperial clan after the rule of Qin, right? The notice I saw at the gate of the city yesterday..." Danny interrupted,
"Yes, the post-Qin is the largest of the six countries." Long Shenlin pointed to the topographic map on the wall, "occupying the entire northeastern region of the eastern continent, and the Meng family is the ruler of the remnant Qi kingdom. , They are located in the east of the Southern Shang Dynasty, the capital city of Wen, 1,580 miles away from Suiyang City."
The boy from the Stewart family has a headache and said: "I don't understand the geography of the East, but why are the names of countries so strange."
Xiaolong replied: "The six eastern kingdoms are Southern Shang, Remnant Qi, Later Qin, Liang Sui, Last Han, Late Tang. As for where the name came from, I don’t know exactly where the name came from. The empire existed, and the current country was born after the empire was destroyed... The Mo family and the Meng family ruled two countries. The Long family is in Pingyin, the capital of the Liang and Sui kingdoms, and currently has no ruling power, and the Wu family is in the late Tang state, the northernmost part of the mainland. There is no political power. In addition to the four families, there are Yejia, Jiang, Kong, Ying, Lu, Zhao, Lu, Cai, Ban, Ji, Tantai, Fifth, Zhu Xie's family..."
Hannah absently listened to the explanation. The focus of her gaze was on Jonah. The boy had never felt the scorching eyes of Stewart’s contemporary Patriarch. He was printing every word Xiaolong said into his mind. This stranger The Eastern Continent will become his own adventure stage. Every piece of information is extremely important.
"Please continue." The Rose Knight thoughtfully,
Long Shenlin breathed a sigh of relief, "The main house of the Long Family is located in the outskirts of Pingyin, the capital of the Liang and Sui Dynasty, in the outskirts of Pingyin, the "Black City". The oldest presbytery hall in the house has a history of more than 600 years. I entered it once at the ceremony of joining the Shadow Sect. As a child of my separation, I am not allowed to enter the courtyard above the second level. Long Although the family is not in power, the Lu family currently in power in the Liang Sui Kingdom is the least powerful among the seventeen families in the East, and the Long family has a pivotal influence on the country."
"What kind of power are you using in battle." Elliott asked, "It's an ability that we don't understand..."
The dragon froze for a while, and after a long time, he nodded solemnly: "This is all to punish grandma...The reason why the Eastern Seventeen Families are strong is that each family has two secrets: first, generation. The inherited unique practice method is passed down to children and not to daughters, and the inheritance is not divided; second, the bloodline ability brought by the pure blood line, in the Long family, the practice method is called the'nine methods', which includes..."
His figure flashed, turning into a black light to move horizontally and horizontally in the room, "Papa" bounced on the wall four times, and appeared in place with great ease, "Footwork and lightness are'limping dragons'."
Immediately afterwards, the color of Xiaolong's body became lighter and lighter, until the shadow that melted into the house disappeared. The partners looked around and heard a voice from the other side of the laboratory: "Shadow hiding method'Fairy Dragon'."
He reappeared, clutching his chest and slowly approached the crowd, "In addition to the method of observing the breath, knowing fate, and predicting bad luck, the "crowd dragon", these are the three methods I have learned, originally as a child of a foreign surname , I don’t have the right to learn the'Nine Laws', but after being appreciated by my grandfather and joining the Shadow Sect, I can get three kinds of exercises."
"Ke Longji's fighting style is different." The knight said,
"Yes, the grandmother Zhang Xing Grandma is the purest dragon family, the heir of the family of the Long Family’s ancestors and grandchildren. When they were young, the elders such as Taizu Grandpa and Great Grandpa grandfather used the bones of children to give punishment. Grandma grandmother’s ability to “marriage in the dark”, this bloodline ability is much more profound than the “nine methods”, grandma grandma doesn’t need to learn these superficial methods at all.” Long Shenlin replied, “Except for one of the three methods I know. In addition, the'Nine Techniques' also include many abilities, the wounds on my body..." He unconsciously stroked the blood-stained bandage, "It was caused by Taizu Grandpa using the'Scythe Dragon'. This is in the'Nine Techniques' The highest method is that killing is invisible, and you can't see how it was done... If it wasn't for her grandma to punish her..."
Elliott suddenly asked: "Then'Feiguang' is the practice method of the Tantai family. According to you, they also have unique abilities carried in their blood."
Long Shenlin nodded: "Yes, each family has a different policy. The Tantai family is the only assassin group that accepts murder commissions among the Seventeen Eastern families. Their family rules stipulate that they cannot fight unless the elders agree. We use our unique ability in the middle. We walked all the way from Tantai Ligong, and there is no Tantai killer to activate the bloodline ability."
"...What crime did Long Ji commit?" Jonah said unbearably. This question has been in my heart for a long time, and finally broke out, "For someone in your Long family, she is alone, one Woman, walking all over the world alone, eating and sleeping, waving and killing people, without any help from the dragon family; now she is tied back to her hometown for trial. This is how your dragon family repays people. What is going on with you Orientals? Yes, Ellie, what's the matter with you, last night why didn't you wake us up immediately to catch up, and watched her be taken away...she would die."
He knows that these words are very rude, but if it is not so, he can't calm his inner excitement,
"I'm sorry." The rose knight lowered his head. "We are knights who obey the vows. We can't disobey Miss Long Ji's orders. Since the moment we promised to help her send the first silver rose, any behavior that violates her will will Turning into flames to burn our souls, Miss Long Ji ordered me...not to look for her."
Long Shenlin gritted his teeth and said: "It's all my fault." He put the long sword "Jai Xuan" on his back, enduring the pain of the wound and clenched his fists, "I don't know what the crime is for grandma torturing grandma. ...Anyway, I will go to her old man now."
Sibidong looked west, so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears, she usually twittered like a little bird with her mouth slumped and she couldn't say anything. Hannah stroked her hair, long and narrow green. Looking at Jonah without blinking, Danny Stewart stood behind his sister with a very strange expression, sad and happy, plus a little confused,
"...I should say I'm sorry." Jonah said with difficulty, "At least tell me a little more about Long Ji, I just found out at this time that I almost know nothing about her, Ah Li, is it okay, how did you meet her."
The knight was taken aback and looked up, "Now?...I know."
