The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 2: The Ship of the Storm (Part 2)

Danny showed a relieved expression: "Thank God Luta, you finally asked this question. I was holding my lungs about to explode. First of all, we are in a huge desert on the northwest side of the South Continent.' Endless sand sea', the north of the desert is cut off by the holy river, and a small part of the south side enters the territory of the Tocharian Empire. There are a lot of people living on the sand in the desert. Let’s talk more about it when you have time... the most important thing What’s more, there is a kind of cute big bug “sand eater” with a mild temperature in the desert. They crawl on the surface of the desert quickly, swallowing a lot of sand, and expelling it from behind, absorbing the small life in the sand as nourishment. The principle of the sand boat , Is to use these sand-eaters...Although my father was not the one who discovered this method, he was the first captain who combined the sand-eaters with the three-masted sailboat, a great inventor."

Jonah felt his chin rattling, shaking because of his incomprehensible exotic atmosphere: "You mean, there are many such bugs crawling under the boat..."

Danny shook his finger: "No, no, dear friend...Ah no, cargo, you are too underestimated by the creatures of the endless sea of ​​sand, just stand up and take a look at the gunwale, you can understand everything,,, Go quickly, I will block my sister's sight for you. If Hannah sees you running around, she will surely kill you with one shot, and then collapse me,...think about it, maybe it's the first shot. I, I'll exchange you for money again, who knows, she has completely inherited her father's temper. Thinking of this makes people sad..."

The astrologer apprentice stood up dazedly, held the mast and walked a few steps to the side, looked down, and immediately understood Danny’s meaning,

The entire sailboat "Bactria's Blast" was completely built on the back of a huge sand-eater. This golden-yellow worm is at least two hundred yards in length from head to tail and more than 30 yards in width. The carapace on the back of the knot is hard and flat, and it is integrated with the lower deck of the sailing boat. From the angle where Jonah is standing, you can see half of the head of the sandworm. In fact, it is difficult to tell if you do not judge from the direction of advancement. Which side of the cylindrical bug is the head and which side is the tail,

The lower body of the sand-eater is buried in the yellow sand. As it moves fast, it keeps swallowing a lot of sand into its body cavity and ejects it from the tail. It has no eyes and ears, but it is endless. In the desert, there is nothing to see and listen to,

"beautiful, this is our pet'chacha'. He has served our family ever since his father tamed it and built a sailboat. He worked hard and complained. Apart from a little indigestion, he was as healthy as a seventeen. -Year-old great boy, yes, Jonah, right? How old are you." Danny stood next to Jonah and said,

"Seventeen years old." The thin apprentice astrologer answered honestly,

Danny Stewart looked at him up and down for a long while, "If my chatter becomes a human, it will never be as yellow and thin as you. You need to eat more, friends,...goods."

At this moment, the hull suddenly bumped, and a muffled thunderous sound came from the front. Jonah hurriedly grasped the side of the ship, Hannah Stewart turned her head and stared coldly at her brother: "Brother, chat. I started to have indigestion, just because of the big rocks that you swallowed while driving, and why the cargo was running around on my boat."

Seeing she was about to reach out and remove the huge gun from her back, Danny hurriedly grabbed the astrologer apprentice’s shoulder and shook it, "Look, you see, everything is under control, I just explained to him Let’s take a look at the glory of the Stewart family, let the name of Haifeng better spread, and do some publicity for the Stewart express service..."

"What... express delivery." Jonah was overwhelmed by the new terms one after another. He staggered in Danny's hands while trying hard to ask,

"Stewart's'Bacteria's Blast' express service, the so-called express delivery, is to quickly send goods from one place to another, and to cross the endless sea of ​​sand. There is no more reliable transportation than chatting. Tools. On this route, our speed is second to none. Since the change of line, we have not disappointed a customer." Danny proudly said,

"...change career." Jonah seemed to hear an easily overlooked keyword, "What did you do before."

"...Pirate, I should say, sand thief..." Danny whispered,

"Ah, in other words, you rob and kill..."

Jonah’s exclamation could not be completed, a muffled thunder-like sound rolled under his feet, and the deck was upside down, causing Jonah to plop and slam his ass. Danny seemed prepared and stood there straight. , Staring at the tail of the sandworm with a melancholy expression: "Poor chirping, when the money is earned, you must find a worm doctor to treat you digestive problems. Hannah, I heard that there is a parade doctor near the worm. , The technology is very good, the Schmidt’s sand eater got cellulite, and the speed dropped very sharply, and he cured it."

"Don't talk to me about the **** Schmidt's house, brother." The tall woman stopped her brother's chattering with a white eye,

At this time, the muffled thunder has reached the end of the sand worm, and the tip of the chirping tail arched in pain. With the naked eye, a bulging thing can be seen protruding under the carapace, rolling towards the sand mouth, "what else Ah..." Jonah sat on the floor and helplessly grasped the side of the ship made of hard teak.

"Boom."

With a loud and deafening noise, a cloud of black smoke that obscured the sky came out from the tail of the chicha. The smoke exuded a pungent smell, and was blown into the cabin by the side wind. Jona’s eyes went dark, and he saw almost everything. No more, "cough cough cough..." He bent over and coughed, grabbing the ship’s side and daring not to let go,

I don’t know how long the black smoke was gradually blown away, and the sailing boat left a long black track on the desert. The billowing smoke climbed to the horizon like a long snake, and the body of the chirping became stable and even felt The sand worms solved the burden and sprinkled joy in the desert happily,

Jonah wiped a handful of choked tears, and his tears dimly discovered that the Stewart brothers and sisters were wrapped around their mouth and nose with a white turban. Hannah's eyes were still cold, and Danny's eyes were trying to laugh and sympathize. Complex light,

"I will know how to protect myself in the future, my friend,...that, cargo." My brother walked over, helped Jonah, and patted the black dust on his body. "Every time I swallow a big stone, I can't chat It is discharged in time and stuck in the body. After a period of time, the food residue adsorbed on the surface of the body cavity becomes a mess, creating a large amount of methane, but the bloating is uncomfortable. People with constipation can feel it... So , Although farting is very undecent for this lady, but for physiological needs, even the great **** Luta can’t prevent it from happening naturally..."

"This bug is still...female." The astrologer apprentice reluctantly discovered that the world is full of cruel facts that are unacceptable,

The Stewart brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and Danny smiled, "This is common sense. All the sand eater worms running in the endless sea of ​​sand are all females. Male sand eaters are small bugs with wings, about the size of your arm. Long, when you see all the queens who eat the sandworms: the queen worms, you will know what a complete matrilineal society is. Speaking of women being the masters, this is not a traditional custom in the Western Continent, do you think , Folks." He cast a look at Jonah,

Jona stayed there puzzled, letting Danny's small eyes pass by, and banged against the mast and smashed to pieces,

"Women in charge make you feel uncomfortable, brother." Hannah glanced at her brother and stretched out her hand to touch the gun.

Danny immediately said with a good-tempered smile: "No no, sister, it’s just a friendly biological discussion. That, although this boy from St. Boren is just our goods, but out of courtesy, we still have to be formal. Introduce, Hannah, this is Jonah, the apprentice of the astrologer, Jonah, this is the generation owner of the Stewart family, the owner of the three-masted sailing ship "Bactria's Blast", and the chatting breeder Hannah Stewart. , My dear sister."

"Hello, ma'am." Jona, who is confused about the situation, bends down and salutes politely,

Hannah ignored him, "Tie the cargo, brother." With a word, she turned back to the rudder,

Jonah stared at the huge metal weapon behind her blankly, wondering about his role on the sand thief ship. If these bandits were to kill, would he have the ability to resist, and the spirit pool recovered. Xiaoban, it seems to be able to release two or three scorching lights. Of course, if there are materials, a few "failed streamers" are also good choices,

Danny thought he was interested in that weapon, and enthusiastically introduced: "When Hannah inherited the sailboat, she also inherited two legendary weapons from her father. The one on her back is the highest power of the steam puppet. One of the masterpieces, the famous gun "The Prosthesis of Lame Henry"; under the cloak, she also hides a magic short gun, the "Summer White Cherry", which was personally cast by the master of magic weapons in the West Continent, Heftsbach. , One of the two guns should belong to me, but my father was obviously a little delirious before he died. Nothing was left to me except the underwear in the closet...Before he died, I I don’t even know that Patriarch Stewart, who is well-known in the South Continent and has endless seas of sand, is actually a weird uncle with underwear collectors..."

Speaking of his dead father, Danny seemed a bit resentful, but Jonah ignored his little sentimentality, and instead opened his eyes wide: "Wait a minute, what's the name of that big gun."

"The prosthesis of the lame Henry, I know it is a very weird name, but if I am used to it, I think it is quite black and humorous, hahaha, think about it, holding the prosthesis of the lame..."

"Clap Henry."

The astrologer apprentice reminded me of the old friend of Koshava’s teacher, the owner of the steamship "Clap Henry", the legendary steam puppet master who gave him "Clap Henry II", the old man named Henry Although he has only one side relationship with him, for some reason, Jonah always feels very close to the old man,

"Tell me, how did you get this gun." Jonah yelled at Hannah's back,

"Oh oh, you really do not live or die, friend, oh no, cargo." Danny Stewart covered his eyes,
