The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 11: The Rose with the Sword (Part 1)

Jonah seemed to have a long dream. After opening his eyes, he found that he couldn't remember any details.

He looked around. This is a tall and wide round stone house, surrounded by the only door, and six simple wooden beds along the wall. The long and narrow windows hang in the air at a height of seven feet, shining a dazzling ray of sunlight on his face. Above, there was dust floating in the air, and the damp floor exuded an unpleasant smell.

"Anyone?" Jonah yelled, his voice echoing in the empty room. No one answered.

The sudden pain in his left leg made him scream, and the broken leg wrapped in crooked and twisted bandages reminded him of a lot of things that happened after the fall of "The Lame Henry II," but like a forgotten dream, there was no memory.

"Demon!" Jonah cursed, moved his body to get out of bed, and found his magic wand by the wall, but his buckskin bag was nowhere to be found. His coins, gems, star array, food and water disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, the prophecy book in the closet was lying quietly in the interlayer of the underwear, Jonah's fingers touched the rough papyrus with body temperature, and he let out a long sigh.

He is not afraid of pain. The star **** is above. Compared to the eternal night sky, the pain of the flesh is subtle, short-lived, and weak. The astrologer pursues the strength of the soul in the name of knowledge; but Jonah feels about the demons that appear in his body from time to time. Deeply afraid, imagine that there is a demon from the Void Ether. With the help of his body, he walks the world as a 17-year-old d. Jonah II, an apprentice of a fourth-level astrologer, spreading the horror and horror from the depths of hell. The plague is simply the most terrifying nightmare for scholars with pious beliefs. He gritted his teeth and trembled.

"I still have a chance, the devil is not strong enough."

Jonah squeezed his magic wand and whispered to himself.

The devil is still unable to seize his entire body. For some reason, he can only come to the world intermittently, as long as he maintains his id, records every behavior, and makes up for the damage caused by the devil; at the same time, he exercises his mind and body. A strong spirit, one day, can suppress or even seal demons in the body.

Jonah remembered the prophecy of the untitled book:

"On October 6, Gamaliel descended from the sky with all the selected pagans. Ayala could not see him, Ayala could not hear him, but he lived in the palace of bones and did not feel Panicked.'Don't approach the mirror', Gamaliel gave him advice."

The devil in the prophecy is not limited to this one in his body. More people in the world have become puppets of the devil. What should he do?

Segnes the Betrayer's untitled book will surely give him guidance, illuminating unknown directions like the "bear" in the first house of stars hanging in the southern sky.

Believe in the night sky, obey fate, and even...save the world. Thinking of this, Jonah condensed his eyes, snorted, propped up his body with a staff, dragged his injured leg to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the heavy mottled wooden door.

Let the wheel of fate turn.

He didn't hesitate to face the dazzling sunlight.

"Good afternoon. Too much sleep will make us worry about your cervical spine. Kingdom Knight Lancelot once said that every man needs two things: a sharp sword and a suitable pillow. The latter is sometimes more important. Something." A gentle and pleasant male voice said to him, "Our name is Elliott Castlefield. It is a pleasure to meet you, the guest in room 51."

Jonah raised his head. This was a young blond knight, smiling friendly, stroking his chest with his right hand on the back of the tall unicorn, exercising ancient etiquette.

"Uh, hello, I'm Jonah, an apprentice astrologer." Jonah bent over and saluted. The unicorn glanced at him with arrogant eyes and snapped his nose.

"Astrologer? Your Excellency Jonah, if we take the liberty, you are a member of the five major guilds, why do you appear alone in this lack of axioms?" the knight asked suspiciously.

"My teacher told me that the tyrant Yelizawitan unilaterally tore up the "Joint Amnesty Decree", and now there is no guild shelter in the entire Western Continent, and his terrestrial dragoon attacked our horoscopes on the red soil plateau. Shuta." Jonah thought of Mr. Koshava, who had just separated, feeling like two worlds. Is the teacher okay? Unclear thoughts arose in his mind.

"This news is true? Then we need to report it to the director immediately." Elliott was taken aback, "Sorry, I'll be back soon." With a long hiss, the unicorn raised his silver palm up. The huge horseshoe stood up, shielding the sun, and Jona took a step back. Amidst the sound of drums pounding the ground, he saw the knight’s blood-red cloak turning around several houses like the wind, disappearing, and the cloak shone brightly underneath it. His silver armor dazzled his eyes.

The sun hung high in the sky, making people's bones tingle for a while, Jona leaned on the door of the house with a magic wand, surrounded by black stone houses, there was no end in sight, the air was quiet, and I could vaguely hear the water running in the distance. Voice.

He took a moment to analyze his situation. It must be the cherry crossing here. The sound of the water came from beyond the holy river. So he reached the destination. After he fell and broke his leg, the demon did not do anything to hurt himself. As for whether he hurt others, Jonah Not sure, but relying on his weak body at the age of seventeen, he can't expect much damage.

The knight calls himself "the tenant of room 51."

Jonah looked back and saw that "a51" was engraved on this black stone round house. There are a52 and a50 on the left and right sides, and a7 on the back. The number of the previous building is not visible.

With the mathematical ability of the astrologer apprentice, Jonah quickly drew the plane sketch of the cherry crossing in his heart: the black houses are arranged in a circle, the number of the inner circle is smaller than the outer circle, and the knight Elliott ran towards the center of the circle. , Which shows that the importance of the interior is higher than that of the exterior, and many houses must surround a decision center.

The "Western Continent Geographical Survey" mentioned the definition of "hostel", that is, the owner of the house obtains benefits by renting out the right to use the house and selling services such as catering and room cleaning. He is currently a "tenant", that is, the owner of a "hostel" When the consumer must be possessed by the devil, he made a lease contract with the hotel manager.

As he was thinking, a gust of wind blew, and Elliott and the unicorn landed lightly in front of him.

"Please enter the house and wait a while, the head of the room will be back soon. There is food and water here. Please use it." The knight bowed politely and passed a cheesecloth pocket.

Jonah took this opportunity to see the knight’s face clearly. Under his neatly combed blond hair as bright as the sun, there was an impeccable handsome face of the Western Continent, and his sapphire eyes hid flourishes. Enthusiasm for vitality and fire.

Jona was stunned. On the armor of the knight's chest, he saw the ancient coat of arms mentioned in a certain book: blooming roses entwined with blood-stained swords.

"Elliott, you are...the rose knight?" Jonah took the food bag and asked carefully.

"Yes, astrologer, occupation is our life." The knight hit the left atrium with the back of his right hand, and the armor collided with a crisp sound. The unicorn nodded slightly to show cooperation.

"I'm just an apprentice." Jonah added, feeling a little at a loss at the same time.

The Rose Knights are the eternal legends of the Western Continent. They do not belong to any country or regime. No one knows where they came from and how they make a living. For hundreds of years, the name of the Rose Knights has appeared in poems and bedside stories time and time again. , Never disappeared.

According to the legend, the Rose Knight will appear next to lovers who are deeply attached to each other, help them remove all worldly obstacles and protect their love, until the man decides to propose to the woman, the Rose Knight will be in the brightest night of the moonlight , Placed a bunch of silver roses gently on the girl’s bed, and then quietly left; for lovers who walked into the church holding silver roses, love will be blessed forever.

In other novels, the Rose Knights are portrayed as undead spirits cursed by Sheila, the **** of words and paintings. They can only appear at night and live on the nutrients of love. Because of Sheila’s curse, they will never be able to interact with The mounts were separated, and the moment the unicorn fell was the time when the ashes were wiped out.

Seventh-level astrologer Koshava likes to talk about topics that have nothing to do with work at the dinner table. The rose knight is burned into Jona's memory with the taste of thick soup and garlic bread. Today, in the sunshine of Cherry Du, he saw a living legend, how could he not be surprised.
