The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 129: No Light Dawn (End of Volume One)
"Mr. Odida." Elliott saw the employer in the crowd on the river bank at a glance, and shouted, "Our mission is complete, please send the ticket..."
The sky suddenly brightened, and Jonah raised his head and saw a bolide crashing through the sky and crashing down. "Be careful." Long Ji hurriedly called, and the Bone Centurion grabbed Jonah's collar with one hand to the side. Avoid,
"Boom."
The meteor hit the ground and burst into a rain of fire mixed with soil and flesh. The astrologer apprentice was pressed underneath by the hard bones, almost suffocated by the dense smoke, a fiery red shadow slowly descended, embroidered with complex magic Patterned robe, guild emblem with golden pentagram surrounded by five red beads, black beard, with a pair of yin bird eyes,
"I remember you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be injured by magic backlash. This shame, I want you to double it back." The fifth-level magician Menakmacher held his head proudly and opened it. With both hands, they uttered a deep chant. The tiny red particles were inspired by the fire magician and gathered between his hands like a swarm of bees. The powerful tracking magic "Red Sun Zhiying" is about to reappear,
Long Ji’s fingers flicked the purple thread, and the Skeleton Centurion rushed towards the arrogant magician with a bone blade. The sharp blade slashed on the phantom around Menakmacher’s body, making a sound of gold and iron symphony. The advanced magic robe attached fully activated the defensive circle, isolating the attack of the bones from half a yard away, and the great magician showed a mocking smile on his face,
Elliott walked out of the smoke and dust, launched a full charge, pierced the enemy's chest with a howling lance, but under the influence of the defensive circle, the spur was missed, and the rose knight rubbed shoulders with the great magician. After that, Menakmahe took two steps back due to the strong impact, the circle never broke, and the singing never stopped.
Jona struggled to stand up, clenching the staff in both hands, and was about to launch the scorching rays. The guidance of "Scarlet Sunlight" had been completed. The Grand Mage opened his arms, and the red particles filled the space, "Shake... …Pierce it…burn it…hahahaha…" The commander of the combat caster gave out a wild laugh,
At this time, a dark fireball shot from nowhere, with a purple tail flame, appeared in front of Menakmacher in a blink of an eye, and all the red sun particles it came into contact with were Absorbed, assimilated, and disappeared in the air, the face of the great magician changed color: "It's you again."
In the next moment, Chirizhiying, who lost her goal due to loose control, covered fifty yards of space indiscriminately. Elliott hurried to Jona’s side, raised his shield, and took him, Jona, and the dragon. Ji and Sibi were shielded below, and the tiny explosion sounded like raindrops, but Jonah felt the unusual explosive power of the red particles from the muffled sound of the rose knight. Clouds of smoke erupted all around, and every inch of mud was tumbling. Burning, the ferry fell into a sea of deflagration,
Everything is blurred by the smoke and dust. The astrologer apprentice feels light, and Elliott and Long Ji go into battle again. There are a large number of figures pouring into the ferry in the hazy, shouting, groaning, swords The sound of cross-strikes filled his ears. Jonah didn't know what was going on. He coughed violently and supported his body with a stick, "Elie, Long Ji."
He yelled hard and found that his voice was so weak,
A Lanxun soldier rushed out of the smoke and raised his long sword. Jonah gritted his teeth, and the scorching rays pierced through the enemy's chest, "Long Ji, Ellie." He shouted again, but he was screaming. Without any echo, I could vaguely hear Qiaopu’s voice intermittently somewhere: "You are not a human being, you are...impossible, your swordsmanship...I understand, but how could you..."
He stumbled forward in one direction, his feet suddenly softened, and a corpse tripped Jonah to the ground. He groaned and propped up his body, and found that the smoke and dust close to the ground were not so strong. Unknowingly, he came. Arriving in front of the ferry, the ship emits thick white smoke and blew the trombone, as if it was about to set sail,
Two dragoons came from different directions, and their long lances tore through the smoke. Jonah used all his remaining strength to swing his staff and emit scorching rays, but lost his aim and flew far away from the ears of the cavalry. That’s it, that’s it, that’s it, what a **** of a prophecy, I’m too tired and need a rest... The wound on the arm of the astrologer apprentice cracked, and the constant blood loss made him feel tired, and the head The bruises caused by the heavy landing are also eating away his remaining awakeness, so it’s okay to just fall asleep like this...
The familiar black fireball descended again, penetrating the abdomen of the first cavalryman together with the earth travel dragon, hitting the shield of the second cavalryman, and quickly turning the enemy's shield and arms into dry ashes. The man in black robes and hood, unable to see his face, stepped on the wailing dragoon and walked towards Jonah.
"Jeff Tower..." Jona murmured,
The fallen dark fire mage Jeff Tower approached him, squatted down, and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "You and your father looked like when you were young, but your eyes are exactly the same as Jove."
"Sure enough, are those memories real..." The astrologer apprentice looked weakly at his father's close partner at the time, "...why did you save me."
"This is fate." The Darkfire Mage slowly took off his hood, revealing an extremely horrible face, his face melted like paraffin, flesh and blood flowed down, and nostrils were exposed in the cracks. Mouth and blue eyes without eyelids, "Your mother is right. Dark fire is a cursed spell. I have paid the price I should pay. I endure tremendous pain day and night. The only way to calm the pain is In this way, only in this way...help you, help the blood of the betrayer, "
Jonah's mind was temporarily awake due to the shock, he propped up his body, "Your face...why, what is the blood of the traitor, I don't understand..."
Jeffta shook his head and stretched out his right hand. The skin on the back of his hand also melted. The whole hand looked like a candle that had burned out and recondensed. He grabbed Jonah’s hand and put something In the palm of the astrologer apprentice, "This is my gift for meeting. Unfortunately, after the first meeting, I didn’t find a chance to communicate with you. One day, you will understand everything. I hope we will have a chance to see you again.... Joe Fu and Joshua’s child."
Ignoring Jonah’s confusion, Jeff Tower helped him up and pushed him to the direction of the ferry. Zavi’s soldiers appeared from all directions, "The queen is on board." An officer shouted, Lan Xun infantry and dragoon. Roaring and rushing towards the ferry, "Jeff Tower." Jonah turned his head and yelled. He saw the Dark Fire mage stretch out his hand in the gray fog and made a "goodbye" gesture. There was a roar, and the indestructible black fireball fell into the enemy's formation, coquettishly. The purple tail flame illuminates the smoke and dust,
The helpless apprentice astrologer is like a puppet who has lost his soul. He walks along the slide towards the huge ferry. Pull on the ship: "Can't wait any longer, Captain, we must set sail now."
"Where's your ticket, sir." The old captain wearing a sailing hat appeared in front of him, staring at the scarred young man hesitantly, and Jonah could not help spreading his palm, lying on the palm of his right hand. A shiny silver button, an unforgeable Mithril ticket prepared by my father for the Cherry Ferry,
"Please enter the lower cabin, we are about to set sail." The captain instructed the sailor to send the last guest into the cabin, and then shouted to the engine room: "Is the propeller powered enough."
"Eighty percent of the propeller power is prepared, the captain." The third power mate responded loudly,
"Wheel rudder preparation."
"The wheel rudder is ready, the captain." The helmsman replied immediately,
"The left rudder is full, the propeller power is 40%, and the anchor is lifted." The old captain turned and stood on the bow, facing the harsh river breeze, holding the sailing hat with his hand,
"Full rudder left, 40% oars, and anchor." The chief mate repeated the captain's order,
The ferry made a humming sound, spewing out steam, and the oars were driven by the steam puppet machinery to break the water surface, pushing the ship slowly away from the dock, the anchors were raised, the rudder deflected, and the trumpeter blew a loud sailing signal , The ferry to the southern continent leaves the shore and enters the endless water beyond the holy river,
Jona walked from the stairs to the second-floor cabin. In a 15-yard living room, there were a few senior guests who did not know him. At the end of the corridor were more than ten rooms with locked doors. "Elie, Long Ji." The astrologer apprentice staggered towards those rooms, calling out the name of his partner, passing the porthole, he couldn't help but stop and look at the slowly distant river bank,
The cherry crossing was burning like a bright torch in the night sky. "On October 29, the flames landed and the river was defiled..." Jonah suddenly discovered that the first few words of the prophecy had been fulfilled, but "the river was defiled." "It didn't happen. After just a few seconds of thinking, his face turned pale, turned around, ran up the stairs in the surprised eyes of the senior tenants, and rushed towards the old captain: "Mr. Captain, no, you can't sail now. ."
"Your Excellency, please go back to the cabin." The captain took out the pipe in his mouth and said displeasedly, "As the only captain of the Cherry Ferry for fifteen years, I don't need you to question my decision."
"Ke, from Colombo, today, no, no..." Jona didn't know how to express his inner urgency in words, waving his arms anxiously,
"Today is April 27, the day of the Spring Hunting Festival in Colombo. The cherry ferry ferry sails in spring every year, although this may be the last ferry of the cherry ferry..." The old captain's eyes are facing the cherry ferry There is no joy and sadness in the pupils of the eyes,
"No, Mr. Captain, the boat was originally scheduled to sail at noon time, but today is different. It is now more than three hours after midnight, and the sky has not yet dawned. As mentioned in the "Geographical Calculation of the Western Continent", the people of Colombo The day begins when the sun rises, that is to say, in the eyes of the people in Colombo, it is still late at night on April 26..." Jonah finally said the sentence in full, and then sat weakly on the deck, out of the corner of his eyes. Tears of despair overflowed,
The captain's expression freezes,
This sad prediction...Sure enough, I still want to be the only witness, the astrologer apprentice clenched his fists,
The cry of killing on the shore suddenly weakened, and then there were countless panic wailings, "It's from Colombo."
The black barbarians appeared on the other side of the holy river. Every one of them was a powerful spearman. At this moment, the Colombo people who were attracted by the anger of defiled the holy river were throwing their spears. Tie a rope so that the weapon can be retracted after throwing, so as not to fall into the holy river,
"Full power, full left rudder." The captain yelled hurriedly, without his instructions. The wheel helmsman and the engine room are doing their best to steer the ferry toward the center of the wide sacred river, but in the furious Colombo people In my eyes, the big ship is clumsy like a wild boar struggling in a trap,
The patriarch of the barbarian gave an order in an incomprehensible language. The people of Colombo raised their guns. The next moment, countless black spots like locusts obscured the starry sky, Jonah closed his eyes in despair, and the Zawi soldiers on the shore and The remaining tenants stopped fighting and began to spontaneously attack the Colombo tribe, because they knew that after destroying the ferry, the angry barbarians would vent their anger on them and attack them, bringing the only possibility of survival,
"Defensive circle." The captain's voice was almost bloodshot, and the magician sitting in the center of the ferry was driving the defensive circle. Three layers of bright yellow film rose around the entire ship, completed by multiple magicians, spreading across the entire line. The magic circle of the ferry provides a triple gold defensive shell, which is the biggest support for the entire ship when crossing the holy river.
The first wave of shots smashed into the defensive magic. The powerful impact made the deck obviously tilted. Jona couldn't help but roll back, and his head touched the mast, finally defeating his remaining will, "Long Ji, Eli , Sibi, Yekon,... Jeff Tower... Toba..."
The astrologer apprentice murmured his partner’s name, and fell into the deepest coma, (Volume One Overture: The Dawn of a Troubled World End)
