The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 115: The Golden Road (middle)
This is a difficult journey. Although there is no boy to accompany the wine, the mayor is enthusiastically talking about the "White Night" anecdote that happened not long ago. "The entire aristocratic circle of the Tocharian Empire is in Discussing what the wonders of the white night are all about, the Anglican priests said that the lord **** Luta thundered and frightened the world because of his anger. You know, Luta is the **** of fertility, and he is known for being a wise, upright, and brave king. Emperor Sebainck was angry when he opened the door of same-sex marriage, which was sealed by the gods, but according to the gossip I got..." Du Shakar showed a mysterious expression, looked around, and motioned. The two guests got closer, "...That is a super weapon being tested by the Tocharian military, a super weapon that can win wars. Do not tell anyone about this news. From the Vedic spies, this news can Sold fifty gold coins..."
Knowing that Lord Mayor was bragging wildly, Jonah could only agree, "Help the'Ghost Bahamas' that is rampant in the endless sea of sand to become a giant dragon." It's better to rot in his stomach, Asai Smiling and chatting with Shakar, he glanced at the astrologer apprentice, as if he knew something, Jona looked away with a guilty conscience,
The welcome banquet held in the luxury compartment of the Midnight Star lasted from morning until late at night. The Lord Mayor didn’t force his spirits until he opened his mouth and yawned for the fortieth time, then he put a smile on his face and pleaded guilty: "Master Astrologer, Master Swordsman, it's late at night, then I will go back to the cabin and rest. The room on the right hand side of the passage has prepared beds for both of you. Of course, it is perfectly fine to stay overnight in this carriage, and the maid will clean up the room immediately. ."
The Easterners also sent Zhen Du out of the room with a smile on his face, and tactfully refused the maid’s request to clean up the room, closed the door, and plopped on the sofa with a strange cry: "Nobleman, I am most afraid of peace. Dealing with the nobles, especially the noble masters who have a small power......"
Jonah said with sleepy eyes: "Oh, he's gone, I can't understand what you are talking about, and I have fallen asleep twice. This kind of stamina is quite strong after drinking."
Asai raised nice eyebrows and looked at the 17-year-old opposite with interest: "You are really a weird guy, Brother Jonah, who trusts me, a stranger who doesn't know the foundation. Whether it’s the food of the herders or Shakar’s cactus wine, you can eat and drink as soon as you pick it up. Are you afraid that these are traps."
The astrologer apprentice thought for a while, and exclaimed: "Yes, after leaving Cherry Du, I have been reminding myself to be vigilant and why I still made this kind of mistake."
The oriental screamed for joy and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, there are no more than two kinds of people who can live in troubled times, one is the vigilant person, and the other is the lucky person. Look You are a lucky guy."
While he was talking, there was a sound of mechanical running in Asai’s arms, steam popped from the neckline and cuffs, so hot that the oriental jumped up, and hurriedly took out the mechanical pocket watch, "Forgot to forget, I am scheduled until midnight, and it's time."
The tattered steam pocket watch rang loudly for a while, a small door clicked on the dial, and a little man in a bowler hat holding a wooden box came out, and the little man opened the box in his hand. A little oriole flew out of the middle. The oriole opened its mouth and screamed twelve clearly. It flew back into the box. The little man took off his hat and bowed. He closed the lid and walked back. The small door clicked. Turn off, the steam chich is discharged from the pressure relief valve, and the pocket watch slowly quiets down.
Jonah saw his eyes straight, "Wow, what a great pocket watch."
The oriental put the watch into his jacket and smiled with some complacency: "This is the masterpiece of the Flores Steam Puppet Warlock. If it weren't for some damage now, you can perform more tricks."
"Oh, these dwarves are really great engineers. By the way, what are you going to do at midnight." The astrologer apprentice couldn't help asking,
"Test the degree of strength recovery." Asai stood up and walked to the center of the room, moving his body. Jonah noticed that the sleeves of his jacket were always rolled up, revealing a pair of soft but contradictory muscles. The arm with a sense of strength, there seems to be a tattoo pattern on the elbow, which is blocked by the sleeves and can’t be seen clearly.
"You mean, as time goes by, your strength is increasing every day, isn't it? Is this a curse, or a physical problem." This question has been held in Jona’s heart for a long time, now it’s the right time Blurted out,
The oriental scratched his head, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his thin mouth: "I don't know how to explain it to you, it's not a curse, it should be said... it's some kind of seal, my power is limited by this kind of seal. Rising and falling like tides, only one day per month can reach the highest state,,, this highest state is only about 50% of the original strength, of course, there will be one day when it is the weakest, such as being taken by the herdsman uncle. The day the barrel knocked out..." Asai shrugged helplessly, and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
"Then how strong were you when you were the strongest, and how strong were you before being sealed." Jonah was very interested in the strength of his new companion, and asked, sitting upright,
The Easterner was stunned for a moment, grinned, showing white and white teeth: "Fucking you, he was only a conscientious murderer when he was the strongest, but now, if you want to be obedient and obedient, you have to use it. How about the strength to go to the whole body......"
He twisted his waist and took out the sword. The blood-red light flashed away. Jonah still didn't see the dagger. This time he didn't cut to the wall, but left a sword mark on his left arm. , The wound was white, slightly rolled outwards, strangely, no drop of blood came out,
"Ah, what are you doing." The astrologer apprentice stood up and exclaimed,
"An La An La, Brother Jona, it's just a strange ritual in the East." Asai waved his hand to indicate that everything was normal. He tore off a beautiful embroidered tapestry without distress and entangled it indiscriminately on the wound. "Sometimes I I wonder why a sword has to see blood every day. Does metal **** blood? This is not scientific, right,,, but you know, Dongfang, hey." He shook his head mockingly.
Jonah was stunned, a blood-sucking dagger. This picture reminded him of the battle scene of Cherry Crossing. The dagger that Long Ji used when summoning the skeleton lovers would absorb the blood of the master. The blood of the Eastern woman turned into the driving force for the bone fight. It was also from the East, and she also possessed a blood-sucking dagger. Will the man in front of him have some connection with Long Ji?
He wanted to ask, and then closed his mouth again. Asai was right. The two of them knew each other in only a day. It was too early and too early for a conversation that could be discussed. The Eastern Continent is as big as tens of millions of people. I happened to run into a man who knew Long Ji, this chance is too small, too small,
"Um...how is the strength restored." The astrologer apprentice finally filled the silence brought about by the brief ideological struggle with this question,
Asai sat back on the sofa, his dark eyes staring at the flickering wall lamp: “It’s a little bit stronger than yesterday, but it’s too early. This month seems to be particularly difficult. It is estimated that it will only be possible on the release day. Regain more than 20% of the strength, and then things will become very tricky."
"Where are you going and what do you do." Jonah asked, feeling inappropriate as soon as the words were spoken. For traveling companions who live together for a short time, this sentence can be regarded as simple and deep,
The Easterners are not surprised, and replied with a good temper: "After arriving in Bhaktriya, I will take the long-distance carriage from the Golden City to the Vedic country and go to the Vedic capital of Masha Raja to do something. As for what it is, it’s really hard to say..."
"Of course, everyone has secrets." Jonah hurriedly responded,
The two were silent for a while, and the astrologer apprentice took out the sealed glass jar and took a look. Although the new day has come, the moonlight elves are still sleeping, it seems like Xiaobai said, she is really angry If it’s broken, you have to sleep well to express your anger,
I don’t know who started the head first. The two men started chatting together one after another. Jonah talked about his experience in general, skipping the fragments about the prophecy and the secrets of the Zavi people, and expressed My nostalgia for Elliott, Longji, Sibi, Yekon and other partners, and also expressed my worries about the recent situation of the Stewart brothers and sisters. Asai is a good person to talk to, and he always comforts him with a gentle male voice, and occasionally talks about it. Talking about his own situation, Jonah learned that the Oriental is a shrewd but very off-line guy. He often gets into a dilemma for some inexplicable things. For example, when he came to the South Continent to do business this time, he actually met someone in a tavern. The guy lost a bet for five months and had to spend one hundred and fifty days with the sheep in the other’s ranch.
"Your bet... is time." Jona asked strangely,
"My bet is time, because time is precious to me; his bet is beard, because beard is his most precious thing. We bet that the next person who walks into the bar that day will be a man or a woman. I guess it's a woman, he guessed it's a man." Asai recalled annoyedly,
"It was a man who came in." Jonah asked,
"It was a farm bar in the middle of the Great Gobi. No other customer came in for the whole day." The Oriental looked depressed: "So we both lost, and he was forced to join his husband. He shaved his beard under the witness, but I can only live on his farm temporarily until that long period of time is over..."
"Ah, his husband." The astrologer apprentice captured this horrifying detail,
"Yes, that guy's name is Langdon Schmidt. I can't forget the name... His same-sex husband is a very elegant and lovely man. I don't know the name, but he should be of noble origin. "Asai has an unpleasant expression, "A very harmonious couple."
Jonah thinks he has heard the name again, but I really don’t bother to think about its origin. Perhaps it was caused by the vibration and noise of the steam carriage. Before goodnight, Jonah fell asleep. This Sleep soundly until you wake up with a pair of fat and soft hands,
"He said, the provincial government is here." The oriental man standing next to the smiling Lord Mayor translated,
