The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 17: Song of Sand Falls (Part 1)

"Every adult man has a very terrible enemy. It is invisible and invisible. It can't be defeated no matter how you use it. He can control your thoughts, crush your spirit, and destroy you. The body of your body makes you fall into endless pain, unable to breathe, and difficult to work. Even being alive is a torture. I can’t wait to find a knife to end my life. This enemy has been rampant on the mainland for thousands of years, but no one can overcome it. He, all men succumbed to his lewdness, and even dared not give birth to a heart of challenge. This is endless humiliation... "The above are the horrible remarks made by Teacher Koshava to educate Jonah,

The frightened astrologer apprentice asked blankly: "Teacher, who is that."

"Hangover."

The seventh-level astrologer Koshava, who was holding his head, said bitterly, staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes,

Now Jonah feels the same as the weird old man who has been in the tavern all the time. As soon as he sat up, he was knocked down by a sudden headache, "Oh." Jonah pressed his temples with both hands, feeling 10,000 sharp The dagger protruded from left to right in the skull, crushing his brain and willpower together,

Danny poked his head in from the door: "What's the matter."

"...headache." Jonah replied with a grin,

"Normal." Danny smiled, "If you drink up a bottle of silver-labeled cactus wine like me, you will know what a real hangover is. Take your time, cargo friend."

Jonah picked up a symbolic tie from his body, "Prove that you are our cargo." Danny explained with a smile. Jonah got out of bed slowly and scanned the surroundings. It was a mess but The clean room, the wooden floor underfoot was constantly trembling, and the air was filled with hot sand. "I'm on the boat." He asked, covering his forehead, "What happened last night, it seems that after the lady entered the house, I 'S memory is interrupted..."

"Little cutie told your partner the news, you are drinking and hanging up, that's it." Danny Stewart briefly introduced, "It's 11 noon on May 1st, and we want to cross before the windless period arrives. Dasha Waterfall, you must visit the scenery of Dasha Waterfall, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime."

It took Jona five minutes to walk out of the cabin by holding the walls and up the stairs to the deck. The three-masted sailboat "Bactria's Wind" is riding a strong northeast wind across the endless sandy sea, snaking long. The smoke and dust pulled toward the horizon, and the golden sun's rays made Jona squint, and there was tingling pain in his head.

"What time is the departure, and the ship is repaired." He glanced around. It looked like a temporary repair. The damaged area was reinforced with copper hoops and large rivets, and the curved main mast was wrapped like a layered roll. Layers of iron, a closer look, there are two large patches on the sails,

"At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the night wind was just right, so we didn't wake you up and set sail." Danny patted the side of the ship and smiled openly: "Of course, the other reason is that Lao Bei is asleep, no Will recover the maintenance fee from us..."

What Jonah can do to the embarrassed Stewart is no longer strange. He shook his head and tried to get the headache out of his head. "Hangover is really uncomfortable... By the way, you didn't have time to tell me yesterday. What exactly is Dasha Waterfall."

The Stewart’s male leaned leisurely on the ship’s side and shook his fingers: "No, no, the big sand waterfall is not a thing. It is a ladder in the middle of an endless sea of ​​sand. Simply put, the terrain of the desert is high in the northeast and low in the southwest. The height difference of 700 yards is not reflected in the gentle slope, but a quicksand waterfall 700 yards high is formed in the center of the desert. The northeast wind will be 10,000. Tons of yellow sand is pushed to the southwest, and the sand flows down the cliff to form a waterfall. Except for the flowing sand, it is no different from a real waterfall."

Jonah was surprised: "Then how do we get down."

"Of course it is to sail down." Danny looked at him in a fuss. "Otherwise, what else can swim down."

"Will you not fall." The astrologer apprentice's understanding of the waterfall is limited to a small tributary of the holy river flowing through the Redstone Fort in St. Boren. A small waterfall can be seen from the astrology tower , The **** is 100%, the drop is 5 yards, it looks very turbulent,

Danny explained: "No problem, the big sand waterfall is not straight up and down. As long as there is a slight slope, the sand worms can carry the sailing boat down. Due to the wind, the **** of the sand waterfall changes at any time. Yes, this year seems to be a bit difficult according to Little Cutie, let’s see it with our own eyes in a while."

"Catherine...Miss has left." Because of the effect of alcohol, Jonah's impression of this woman is extremely vague,

"Walking 2 hours earlier than us, her dhow'oasis' is one of the fastest sailing boats in the endless sandy sea. It is built on an elite standard sand-eater, Lao Bei’s last hand-designed work , A very amazing sailing boat." After a few words of praise for Maxime, Danny peeped at his sister in a vain manner. Hannah stood in the bow of the ship and grasped the wheel rudder, seeming not to care about their little conversation,

Jonah pressed his temples hard, waited for the intense pain to pass, and asked in a low voice, "Then, Elliott is waiting for me in the golden city of Bactria. This is not a dream, right."

Danny shook his head, "Don't think about it, my cargo friend, we can't change the route. You can't go anywhere until you reach Moza."

"...Where is that Moza? It can be reached in a few days, and how far is it from the Golden City." The astrologer apprentice raised his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes with the last glimmer of hope,

The male of the Stewart family pondered, "If the wind has been so ideal and the time is not delayed at the post-worm node, it will take about six days. Then Moza is a desert city of the Tocharian Empire, in endless sand. On the edge of the sea, it is 1,200 miles from there by land to the Golden City. Even if you ride the fastest steam puppet-powered carriage, it will take four to five days."

Jonah did a simple mental calculation, and bright colors appeared on his face: "So, it is possible to arrive before the fifteenth."

Danny did not express a clear agreement. He pointed his finger at the sky, "It is possible, but it is possible. The main **** Luta is on top. The world is full of various unknowns, one after another. To make accurate calculations meaningless, we can’t guarantee anything, such as who is waiting for you at Moza, and if you are entrusted to transport you to a friend or an enemy."

This matter is also a puzzle that Jonah thought for a long time but couldn't get the answer. "I don't know, I don't have a clue." The worried astrologer apprentice sighed, looking at the rolling sand dunes passing by, licking Licking dry lips,

"Water." A water bag appeared in front of my eyes,

"Thank you." Jonah took the half-full cowhide water bag, poured a few mouthfuls of cool liquid, and wiped his mouth. To his surprise, it was Hannah Stewart who cared about him.

"I need to know about the white cherry blossoms in summer." My sister looked at him with long, gray and green eyes, her messy short blonde hair looked very dazzling,

"Of course, just let me study it again, a few hours is enough." This is also a topic that Jonah is very interested in, he cheered up and answered,

At this time, there was a regular high-frequency fluctuation on the deck, and the sand bounced on the floor. Jonah raised his foot strangely to observe the ground. There was nothing unusual, "Come on, Hannah." Danny jerked. Jump up, grab a rope and quickly climb up the main mast, jump into the high observation deck,

Hannah immediately went back to the wheel rudder, covering the sun with her palm, "I still can't see how far it is."

"I didn't see...Wait, the sand mist appeared. Yes, the big sand waterfall is within 5 miles." My brother's voice came from the sky, and there was a slight tension and intensity in his voice. The excitement of, "The cargo friend, all the items on the ship, except you, are all fixed on the deck with ropes. Wait a moment, we will experience a very exciting downhill game. It is recommended that you be prepared for safety,,, It’s a good idea to tie it back to the mast yourself."

"What." Jonah didn't react a little,

"Fix yourself." Hannah reminded, and then yelled at her brother: "Can you observe the slope, from which direction to enter, and when will you start to slow down."

"Who do you think I am? You can guess the **** based on the height of the sand fog." Danny shouted back: "It's right to fall anyway. It's not like that every year."

Hannah was angry: "'Bacteria's blast' is not like this in my father's hands. He can always find the place where the **** is the gentlest to pass through. Can you show me something like a navigator? "

Danny appeared to be even more angry than her: "Find out one thing, dear sister, now you are the current owner of the Stewart family. It is your responsibility to protect the three-masted sailboat. You really think that your father is alive. Will you make a foolish act of driving a sailboat without any protective measures into a dry tornado just because you are angry with the Schmidt family?"

Hannah fought back more and more angrily: "Dad will never stick to that pretentious woman like a slime monster without bones. If it weren't for you, a betrayer, to protect her again and again, I would have shot her. She smashed her self-proclaimed little head and avenged her dad in hell."

"Hell, I agree with this." Danny nodded, and then yelled in a louder voice: "You think she is a porcelain doll with two copper coins in the shop. Can you break it when you break it, she But Catherine Maximilian, not to mention the great knight behind her, relying on the old guys in the Star of Racing Tavern who are familiar with her face, as long as you dare to hurt her a single hair, they will be like Like a rag doll, you are torn into pieces that no dad in **** can recognize."

Jonah turned a deaf ear to the quarrel between his brothers and sisters. He opened his mouth wide and stared blankly forward. The bow of the three-masted sailing ship was hung with a statue of the main **** Luta, who was chained and yelled silently. The exquisite statue at this moment , Like a warning scream at the yellow mist that hits the sky and the earth, the blue sky at the end of the desert in front of you has been stained to yellow by the strange mist rising from the skyline. This kind of dust and mist seems to be set off by a tornado of drought. The dust was very close, but after a few seconds, the Clippers rushed into the area covered by the dust and mist. Jonah coughed violently and quickly covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his clothes.
