The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 151: Interview with five-faced corpses at night (middle)
When thinking about this question, Jonah shuddered severely. The glass that was just filled with cold shochu overflowed with crystal clear liquor. Master Busta took a distressed breath, Long Shenlin whispered. Q: "What's wrong."
"Nothing..." The 17-year-old lowered his head to resist the fear that was born, and tried his best to squeeze a smile. He remembered that when he entered the gate of the inn, Master Busta said: "Jona , Can you..." This sentence itself is nothing special, probably because he wanted him to find a way to provide lighting, but when introducing himself in the carriage, Jonah told two strangers that he was called "Asai", a fire magic It is impossible for the teacher to know his real name, and the word "Jona" that he blurted out inadvertently is like the twilight drum morning bell awakening the astrologer: there is no other possibility. This person is a member of the Brotherhood and has truly mastered his identity, just waiting for reinforcements or It’s just looking for hands-on opportunities,
"Why don't you eat, don't be picky eaters at a young age, what are you doing with a scarf on your face, I really don't understand the children now." Master Busta squinted at Jonah.
"I...I have an abscess on my face, it will scare others, so... I'll start." Jonah calmed his mind, picked up a piece of meat from the tray, tore it into four, and slightly lifted the mask. Slowly chewing in the mouth. Compared with the western food culture, the oriental people obviously pay more attention to the things that are delivered to the mouth. This simple pork breast is delicious and flexible, and it has delicious gravy when chewed. Penetrating into his mouth, it can be said to be delicious, but Jonah doesn’t want to taste the food. He chews the food nervously, watching the magician opposite, fully guarding against attacks that may come at any time.
Witt Witson also noticed his strangeness and cast an inquiring look at him. Jonah shook his head slightly without responding. Now the most reasonable choice is to end this weird atmosphere and return to the room. , Wait until the appointed moment to sneak out and meet the protector, and then make plans,
Master Busta took a glass of wine and drank it in one go. He breathed out a sigh of wine and wiped his mouth with satisfaction: "It's still delicious Eastern food. Now the little demons in my belly are a little bit Get comfort, hope that tomorrow’s dinner will not let us down, right... Do you think it’s not, Brother Asai."
"Yes, yes, who said no, Master Busta." Jonah lowered his head and gritted his teeth quietly,, now I remember that it is too late to pretend, no matter what you are planning , As long as you have precautions in advance... the big deal is to let go of the battle,
Suddenly a night breeze blew across the porch and rolled up the dust on the ground. The small swaying flame on the table went out, and the abandoned hostel was plunged into darkness. Jonah immediately grabbed the staff and jumped up from the stool and started at the same time. With the two magic arrays of defense and speed on the belt of Edinmont, the eyes are completely dark, and the enemy may launch an attack from any direction. Now activating the illuminated star array will only become the enemy's target. You can only stay alert and wait patiently... The thick night is suffocating, the air is full of stale smells, every dust inhaled into the nostrils is as sharp as a knife, the 17-year-old can hear his heart beating, overwhelming the nocturnal insects in the grass outside. The sound of tweets,
"Don't move anyone." Master Busta's roar suddenly sounded,
Jonah didn’t move. He suddenly felt that the magician’s voice sounded a bit familiar. He must have heard it somewhere before, but it was slightly different from the sound ripples in his memory. It was not only an enemy, but also someone he had come into contact with. The enemy, the young man strengthened this idea, could not help holding his breath, and moved quietly to the outside,
“Don’t move anyone. I’ve already focused on that piece of dried meat. There is only one piece of the best tenderloin in the whole plate of dried meat. If you steal my meat in the dark, just wash your neck and wait for death." The fire magician roared,
"..." Jonah didn't expect this passage to appear. He didn't know how to react for a while. Could it be his own misjudgment, he was not an enemy, or he was preparing some magical magic?
"Fire mage, why don't you use lighting spells." A cold voice sounded, that was the voice of Witson, the man in black,
"Pop." A cluster of sparks burst out suddenly, illuminating the space in the center of the room briefly. Master Busta was playing with the fire sickle and flint. A **** face was horribly reflected, and Witte Witson appeared. Three yards away, a long folding cane appeared in his hand, making a defensive action. Long Shenlin's face appeared in the shadow behind the fire magician, and the famous sword "gluttonous" was out of its sheath by an inch, revealing rust marks. Scattered black blade,
At this moment, the man in black glanced at the magic shield that emerged from Jonah's body and nodded. Jonah then looked at Long Shenlin and desperately signaled Xiao Long not to act rashly. Long Shenlin's complexion was a little confused, whether it was After understanding Jonah’s suggestion, the magician was unconscious and stared at the flint and fire scythe in his hand,
The spark extinguished and darkness came again. Jonah took a deep breath. The enemy did not take the lead. If Long Shenlin attacked rashly, it would increase all the variables. I only hope that he can stop in time, and the astrologer will move towards the table. Two steps forward, I hear the "click" sound of rubbing the flint and continue,
"Pop." Another cluster of sparks lit up, and Vit Witson appeared to the right of Master Basda. He raised his folding cane high, looking like he wanted to be the first to start, and Long Shenlin came to Jona. , Holding the long sword, his expression even more puzzled, Jonah screamed at the man in black with a headache, thinking about what happened tonight and why everything is developing in the direction of chaos, as the fire magician at the center of the storm. He was still ignorant and ignorant, muttering, "I can burn the house with fire magic. It's better to light a candle. The driver doesn't know how to bring a lime lamp. It's really a colorless bastard......" Leave the gadget in hand,
The spark extinguished and the darkness came again. Jonah felt so nervous that his life span had been shortened by two years. He pulled Long Shenlin's sleeve beside him, pulled him back to the table, fumbled and sat down, " The simple proposition "After this dinner" is a thousand times more difficult than imagined. Until everything is figured out, no war can be waged.
Finally a pulsating flame appeared in the air, warm orange light illuminating the room, Master Busta protected a candle with both hands, carefully dripped the candle wax, fixed the candle on the table, and looked at the tray. He laughed openly and said: "No one really stole my tenderloin. You are really considerate and good travel companions. It seems that this will be a very happy journey, hahaha...then I'm not welcome. "He picked up the dried meat and put it in his mouth, and chewed it up.
Witt Witson, Jonah, and Long Shenlin are still sitting in their original positions, as if they have never moved. The three people’s eyes criss-cross in the air, and no one can be sure that they understand the meaning of the other two. , Jonah has a splitting headache. At this moment, he hopes to learn the time and space star array of Gilberto Gilbernaion, the original astrology tutor, so that this moment of time can flow quickly...
Forty minutes later, the difficult dinner was finally over. Master Busta ate four rolls of pancakes, a catty of dried meat, three green onions, and a whole pot of cold wine. He belched his teeth and began to pick his teeth. The remaining three had nothing but worry. Simply filling his stomach heavily, the magician picked up the candle and stood up, "Go upstairs to sleep, follow me, and be careful of your feet, even if any of you falls to death, I won't be sad, don't you think, brother Asai."
"Of course..." Jonah replied in annoyance,
Four people stepped on the decaying stairs, the wooden boards creaked and the dust fell down, but fortunately it did not collapse. There were four rooms on both sides of the corridor on the second floor, and the windows were nailed down, so it looked darker and the two rooms on the left. With rusty iron locks hanging, the two rooms on the right opened with doors. The magician walked into the first room under the thick dust and yelled: "Yeah, the coachman is pretty good at being a human being. It looks like sleeping now. No problem."
There is a bed on the east and west sides of the house. Although the bed is not broken, the old coachman simply cleaned it, spread hay on it, and then covered it with sheets. It looked like a decent bed. Master Busta sat down on the bed on the east side and stretched his waist: "The meaning of travel is to eat and sleep. Since there is nothing to do, it is better to go to bed earlier. Two children, go to that room. The room belongs to an adult."
"Well, good night." Jonah has been waiting for these words for a long time, and immediately pulled Long Shenlin and turned away. Long Shenlin slid into the darkness of the second bedroom like a fish and pried it open with a long sword. The wooden boards nailed to the window, the faint starlight shone in, so that the two could barely see each other's faces. Jona closed the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping outside, and whispered to Xiaolong, "Mr. Witson is People who come to help me, I will go out to meet him in a while, so please stay here to monitor Master Busta, but it is best not to fight... There are too many things that I don’t understand."
Long Shenlin nodded: "I see, Senior Jonah, please be careful."
The two sat in the room and waited for the time to pass. When thinking about in the dark, an hour seemed quite long, "...okay." The appointed time finally came, and Jonah put away the hourglass and stood up." I set off."
"Call out loudly if you have something, I can hear it."
"Okay, I'm fine, it's my partner."
The astrologer opened the door cautiously, and walked on tiptoes through the dark corridor. The wood floor that was hollowed out by insects trembled under his feet, and every time he landed, he was frightened. It took him seven or eight minutes to quietly breathe. I slipped out of the hostel, walked to the small courtyard opposite by the faint starlight, turned around the courtyard door, and a figure in black was standing quietly by the ancient well, waiting,
"You are finally here."
