The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 11: Sakura of Summer (Part 1)

"Damn it, look what you all did to'Bacteria's Blast'. This ship is as precious as my right eye. You are literally punching my eyeballs with your fingers, Stewart's. Unfilial son.” The guy in the funny black and white plaid robe saw the tragedy of the three-masted sailboat in the twilight, and his face immediately showed a distressed look, “What happened to the main mast? From this abnormal arc, the inside The fiber bundles are beginning to break. In the name of Luta, Danny Stewart, have you rushed into the dry tornado in my beloved sailboat,

This pier sailor named Lao Bei is a sturdy old man with a big belly. He should be wearing some kind of special clothing that serves as a signal or symbol. He has a white beard and a dangling. Large pipes. Just as the two boats approached, Jonah smelled a strong smell of low-quality tobacco from a long distance away.

Danny shook the handle to lower the springboard, and with a bang, the anchor on the top of the wooden springboard firmly buckled the connection platform of the "Racing Star" Pier 2. "Old Bei, although I don't want to admit it, but I I must remind you that the current captain and patron is my dear sister Hannah. As for me, I am just an obedient sailor." He stretched out his hand helplessly, "In addition, your right eye is a glass ball, take your finger Does poking your eyeballs make you feel a little uncomfortable."

Old Bei grabbed the black and white checkered wind-proof hat, revealing the bald forehead with blue veins emerging: "Don’t talk back to me, little Danny, when your father is rampant in the endless sea of ​​sand, you are still running around on the deck with a bare butt. What about a kid who peeped at the cook changing clothes all day and got hot rheumatism from peeing in the desert."

"Uncle Bei, please take care of the'Bacteria's Blast'. We have indeed just escaped from the dry tornado." Hanna said to relieve the siege. She locked the rudder and helped her brother descend one by one. Fengfan, then lightly walked across the springboard and came to Lao Bei,

"Really." Old Bei opened his mouth wide, revealing sparse yellow teeth, and the pipe fell violently. Hannah swiftly stretched out her arm to catch the big pipe and tucked it back into his mouth." You really drove through the desert tornado. Just like your dad back then, why, how many air masses did you jump in, and how fast the limit speed." He sent out a series of vague questions,

Jona helped Danny pack the cable, and secretly asked: "Who is that man named Lao Bei."

Danny sighed: "He is Betty Bernoni. Everyone calls him Old Bei. He is one of the two captains of the racing star, the owner of the east side, the best in the entire endless sea of ​​sand. The owner of the sailing ship building factory, Lao Bei is an old acquaintance of his father. In the past, in this desert, people only knew to use the powerful carrying capacity of sand eater to build buildings on their backs, relying on the survival instinct of these diligent worms. Slowly advance, since my father brought us across the river and introduced the sailing technology of the Western Continent into the endless sand sea, the sailing boat appeared on the back of the big bug, driving the sand bug and the racing history of the entire desert to advance rapidly. Lao Bei is with One of the 33 Zavi people who crossed the river during the same period, the "Bactrian Wind" was built with the help of Lao Bei. In fact, the Schmidt’s "Goddess Light" was also completed by him. Of."

"Thirty-three Zawis." Jonah heard this word and couldn't help repeating it,

"That's another story. It's so long that you are not interested in hearing it." Danny tied the last rope. "You know many of these people, including our father and seven of my fathers. Sailor partner, former Schmidt patron Landon Schmidt, one of the captains of the racing star Lao Bei, traveling merchant Aunt Bianka, etc."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Jonah stretched out his hand, "Why is Lao Bei one of the two captains? A ship can only have one captain."

Danny smiled and pointed to the pedal to signal to disembark, "If it is an ordinary boat, naturally there can only be one captain, but the racing star is not a sailing boat that can be seen everywhere in the endless sand sea. It is the best hotel in the desert. And the best sailing shipyard, before the appearance of the ghost Bahamas, it was once the largest mobile building in size. How can a hotel and a shipyard be combined into one? The answer is no. The east and west sides of the racing star are different. On the west side are restaurants, hotels, dance halls and casinos, and on the east side are Lao Bei’s shipyards and pubs, two captains, two piers, two businesses, do you understand?"

Jonah followed him to the dock, his head was big when he heard him, he just explained one question, and another question followed, "...what is the ghost of Bahamas..."

Danny hesitated in his footsteps, turned his head, his face showed a hesitant expression: "I will tell you when I have time, there are too many questions you have to ask, and you can't finish it in a few words.

"Oh, okay." Jonah shut his mouth interestingly. Just after adapting to the life of Cherry Du, he was thrown into another strange place by fate, and he wanted to know everything here from the beginning. It’s not a good feeling. ,, especially, his current identity is still an important cargo worth two shiny gold coins,

The two people walked down the three-masted sailboat side by side. When the astrologer apprentice walked past the trembling pedals, they accidentally looked down. The floating pedals were covered with rolling yellow sand. Once they stumbled and fell, they would be eaten away immediately. The sand stream from the insects flooded, and there was no time to make a call,

"Don't be afraid, my cargo friend." Danny's self-made name seems to be a smooth one. "In history, no one has ever been killed by falling off a dock pedal or being caught in a sand current."

"That's good." Yona took a breath, stroking his chest,

"Before falling into the desert, they will be looted by the four-winged moa foraging, so they won't let such delicious food." The male Stewart calmly patted the other's shoulder. , Walk quickly to the other side,

"What...Moa." Jona didn't hear the key words clearly and couldn't help asking, but after a few seconds, the answer appeared automatically. A low flapping of wings passed over his head, shadows obscured the sunset, and the astrologer apprentice raised his head. At first glance, my eyes widened,

The giant sand eater carrying the three-deck building of the "Racing Star" stands in front of you like a cliff with a slightly curved line. From his perspective, you can't see the building on the back of the big worm, and the view is grayed out. The yellow knotty rough carapace is full, and it’s not real when it is far away. Just now Jona vaguely saw that there are many small black spots flying around the sand-eaters, like mosquitoes. It’s not a small black spot, just one of the many “mosquitoes” that passed through the head just now is a large bird with a wingspan close to five yards. It has four wings covered with fleshy membranes, has outstanding flying ability and is known to be bad. An ancient creature with individuality: four-winged moa,

The Geography of the Western Continent described it as: very rare and extremely violent. It is advised that solo travelers walking in the savage areas of the Western Continent must stay away from the area where the four-winged moa may live, and if they must approach, they must not draw attention. ; If you have attracted attention, you must not irritate; if you have irritated, you must run away; if you cannot escape, please do not try to resist, immediately lie down on the spot, hold your breath, disguise the corpse, and look through the four-winged moa to pretend to be dead in vain Before the trick, you have at least ten minutes, which is enough to write a suicide note that has been passed down through the ages. If you stand up, the only result will be torn to pieces by the overwhelming flocks of birds and disappear into the world to make your funeral. Become a light comedy where the protagonist is played by a hat and a pair of boots,

Jona didn’t know who wrote this textbook published by the Association of Bachelor of Mathematics and Sciences, but the occasional ridiculous attitude made it difficult for apprentice astrologer apprentices to appreciate it. He did not expect that the gregarious birds of the Western Continent would actually be in the south. There are also distributions on the mainland. Jonah was surprised for a few seconds and slapped his forehead in annoyance. The bird has wings and will not be threatened by the Colombo barbarians on the other side of the holy river. Why can’t he migrate freely across the continent?

Another four-winged bird swooped in sharply. Jonah couldn't help speeding up his steps, covering his head with his hands, and stepped onto the pier. Danny and Lao Bei looked at his embarrassed appearance, and squeezed in unison. Laughing, the astrologer apprentice watched the four-winged moa fly away, grieving: "They are carnivorous birds, beware of what's wrong."

Hannah glared at her elder brother and her elders who were not serious, and comforted Jonah: "Don't pay attention to them, but rest assured, the four-winged moa will not attack humans. There are countless giant sandworms. Parasites are for them to peck at. As early as tens of thousands of years before humans requisitioned large worms as a mobile tool, four-winged birds began to live in harmony with the large worms."

"Then why aren't there these birds on the chirping." Despite this assurance, Jonah looked at the flying birds of prey without worry,

"Chacha is a standard sand eater. The parasites on the standard worm are not enough for four-winged birds to eat. Only this giant sand eater under the constellation of racing can breed fat giant fleas and gadfly." Han Na patiently explained that Jonah felt that this was the most kindly attitude towards him in the past few days, and he couldn't help being a little flattered.

"Okay, let's go up." Danny put a smile away, and asked his sister for some instructions. Hannah nodded, and stepped up the gangway first. "Old Bei, do you want to meet someone at the pier? , Go up for two drinks together." He patted the captain’s fat belly affectionately,

"Who am I waiting for? It's not your turn to be a prodigal son..." Lao Bei gave him an angry look, two pungent and choking puffs of white smoke from his nostrils, "Go up, wait a moment. Meet at the bar, and then introduce this guest to me."

Jonah nodded to the captain on the east side, and followed the Stewart brothers and sisters up the gangway. The outer carapace of this giant sand eater was hollowed out to create a long and tortuous gangway. The stairs were hidden in the carapace, at the end of each flight of stairs. They all have a small platform with a viewing window. Jona couldn’t help but knock on the yellow carapace around him, and the sound he made was the same as steel.
