The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 25: The Mirror of Eternity (Part 1)


The atmosphere on the three-masted sailing ship looked a little embarrassing. Seeing the astrologer apprentices with uncertain faces, the Stewart brothers and sisters were a bit at a loss. Danny walked over slowly and tentatively poked Jona with his finger. Arm: "Hey, my cargo friend, how are you doing."

Jonah shook his head heavily. He couldn't tell the betrayer's predictions to new friends who he didn't know well. "I...I'm fine, but I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the cabin now." He bowed his head and walked towards the cabin. Gangway,

Danny obviously saw that he had serious concerns, but he consciously chose to shut up. Jonah walked down the two steps, suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look outside: "What is that."

"The cemetery." Hannah replied,

After the "Bactria's gust" rushed down the big sand waterfall, riding on sand currents and high winds, numerous pale bones began to appear in the desert, huge cylindrical exoskeletons buried in yellow sand scattered all around, broken The bone stubble pointed to the sky like a sharp sword, the deck shook, and the chirping made a strong tremor, but this is not the natural fear of facing the big sand waterfall, but the deep sadness of the same kind of rabbits and foxes.

Looking at Jonah staying on the stairs to observe the surroundings, Danny said: "These are the remains of sand-eaters that died in the big sand waterfall. These are all very difficult challenges. After the exhausted worm fell to the grave, it was washed into this cemetery by quicksand and slowly decayed. In fact, 80% of the newly born females could not pass the first test of the big sand waterfall. Was eliminated by the cruel choice of the main **** Luta."

The three-masted sailing ship passed by the center of an extremely large bone. The tissues that were not completely decomposed were hung on the thick ribs. Each ring of bones half-covered in the sand was higher than the mast of the sailing ship. , Maybe even bigger than the Leiden sisters of the'Racing Stars'." Danny looked up with amazement, "It's a shame that she could have grown into a good girl with infinite power."

"Fate." Hannah looked into the distance,

"Fate..." Jona lowered his head solemnly and walked into the cabin.

At this moment, he realizes that he hates the word "fate" very much. If fate is really unrewriteable and unknowable, why should he get all kinds of clues in advance so that he can surrender weakly in front of the doomed ending again and again, astrology The warlock apprentice held his chest, and outside the beating heart, those pieces of untitled book remnants were making a cold ridicule, and the prophecy of the well of light was vague, but Elliott had already answered him: The demon from the void will once again come to his body, snatching this weak body from the pale soul of the seventeen-year-old boy,

He stumbled into the cabin, walked through the scattered debris, and fell on the bed. The headache of hangover, muscle soreness and dull pain in the palm of his hand came all together, but the omnipresent pain was It made him feel a little relieved. The pain made him difficult to think. As long as he closed his eyes, the pain radiating in his vision like fireworks occupied all the consciousness of the astrologer apprentice. He could no longer be afraid of the upcoming prophecy, and it was hard to breathe. , Can’t remember,

The sound of footsteps sounded gently around, and the collision of glass bottles came. "Boom." A glass of clear water was placed on the bedside table. Jonah opened one eye and saw the clear water in the glass. The sway of the mast sails and tilts left and right,

"Drink water."

It was Hannah Stewart’s voice. The red cloak stopped on the edge of the bed for a while, spinning like a flower, and there was the sound of footsteps. The blonde girl slowly walked up the suspended ladder and left the room,

Jonah didn’t want to move a little finger, but another signal came from his body. The lack of nourishment doubled the temptation of water. He could even smell the scent of water vapor from his mouth, and his throat emitted With a dry sound, Jonah sat up with difficulty, picked up the water glass, and drank it. His swollen fingers made him spill a few drops of water on the sheets. He tried his best to control the instinctive urge to lick the sheets,

In the desert, water is a good medicine for pain. Just a glass of colorless and odorless water makes Jonah feel a lot relieved. In order to escape the fear predicted by the fourth betrayer, he prepares before his ability to think is restored. With a good pen, paper, and protractor, I put the summer white cherry blossoms on a small table and began to depict the magic array of thirteen red crystals.

There was a clanging sound above his head. It should be that Danny started to repair the sailboat. Upon closer inspection, even the interior of the cabin looked dilapidated. The unmaintained wooden walls were full of cracks. The carved ornaments were everywhere. This ship was once a beautiful piece of art, but now it has lost its vitality like a bone in a cemetery, on the edge of weathering and turning into sand. No matter how hard the Stuart brothers and sisters work, they lose the master’s "Bactrian wind". "They are all heading for destruction like a dying old man. At this moment, the astrologer apprentice suddenly understood Danny's desperate desire for money. Maintaining such a three-masted sailboat is an extremely costly and energy-consuming thing.,, ​​speaking of it, Although they have not asked their age, the Stewart brothers and sisters are just young people a few years older than Jonah. The legacy of the ancestors has become a heavy burden. Apprentice astrologers seem to be able to understand this feeling.

"Crack." A big hole appeared on the ceiling above the head, and a man's foot protruded from the decayed wooden plank. "Oh my **** Luta, what a joke, even the deck is going to be finished." Danny said There was a scream from above, withdrawing that foot, and Jonah saw Danny's silly face appear in the big hole: "Um, accident, accident, you are busy with you, cargo friend."

Next, a broken wooden board covered the sky light from the big hole. There was a sound of smashing nails. The hole was barely sealed. Jonah sighed and continued to look down at the magic pistol.

The mithril thread, as thin as a spider silk, strung 13 red crystals three-dimensionally. To reproduce the magic circle on a flat papyrus, it is necessary to clarify the direction of each mithril thread and connect the complicated connections. The relationship is reproduced in a clear form. Jonah spreads out a piece of yellowed papyrus. I don’t know how long this paper has been pressed on the bottom of the bilge, so that every crease is burned with traces of dust and cannot be smoothed.

He dipped a quill pen in full blue ink and drew a small circle on the paper representing the first red crystal. This red crystal is located on the gun handle of the white cherry blossoms in summer and can pass the user’s body temperature. The key activation switch to activate the entire magic circle. Fortunately, Jonah turned out a well-made magnifying glass in the mess of the locker. The convex mirror inlaid in the brass frame is a whole crystal stone mill. It’s made by craftsmen in the Western Continent. There is a line of small characters on the handle of the magnifying glass: "March 644, love you Marilyn."

Jona was taken aback for a moment. The year 644 is the epoch method of the Chinese calendar of St. Boren, which is equivalent to the year of 2282 in the general Chinese calendar. Twenty-four years ago, I did not expect that in the far South Continent, I could actually see people from my hometown. The object, the astrologer apprentice sighed for half a minute, and began to observe the magic pistol with a magnifying glass. The fine mithril wire became clear now. Jonah raised the mirror with his left hand, and drew a line of radiation on the paper with his right hand, starting from the red crystal. There are as many as 31 lines emitted, which are roughly divided into four categories according to the direction. It only took him an hour and a half to draw the first crystal.

"Hungry." Danny poked a head out of the stairs,

"I'm not hungry yet." Jonah didn't look up, and shook his head.

Stuart’s male displeasure said: “Even if you are doing important work now, you can’t be so disrespectful to the only cook on this ship. Loyalty to the food is a very precious quality. You must be grateful. Heart, do it all over again now." After speaking, disappear on the gangway,

Jonah can’t help thinking of a guy who respects food very much, the head of the Golden Hammer Guard, Qiaopu, he doesn’t know what he’s doing now,

"Hungry." Danny poked his head out of the stairs again,

"Very hungry." Jona raised his head cooperatively.

"What a coincidence, I happened to make a very delicious beef risotto. The side dishes are onions, broccoli, potatoes and beans. They are all fresh ingredients purchased from the racing stars yesterday." Danny smiled. He walked down, holding a large plate in his right hand, and gently placed it on the small desk, with his left hand behind him, bent over slightly, and with a mysterious expression, he lifted the silver cover on the plate: "Please enjoy it, cargo friend Sir."

Jonah stared at the good-looking risotto, and he hesitated to pick up the spoon, "Now... it’s all right for dinner, right?"

"Be grateful." Danny snatched the cutlery in his hand angrily, closed the lid with a bang, "Come over."

"But you didn't remind me what I should do..." Jonah said aggrieved, and secretly removed the papyrus under the plate to prevent ruining his research results,

The male Stewart once again bent over with his back, gently lifted the silver cover, smiled and said: "Please enjoy, Mr. Goods friend."

Jona suddenly realized that he took a spoon and shoveled a spoonful of risotto into his mouth, chewed twice, and raised his thumb: "Very delicious."

Danny gave a reserved but stinky smile: "Yes, sir, of course, please comment."

Jonah secretly looked at each other, and saw that Danny did not wink his eyebrows, and immediately understood that he should not speak at this time, so he ate the risotto without making a sound,

"Are there any comments? Thank you for your affirmation." Danny was overjoyed, bowed, and stepped back onto the gangway: "Please take your time, sir." The last few steps turned and ran, kicking. On the deck, his yelling soon came from outside: "Seeing that there is no Hannah, someone finally admits that the food I cooked is delicious, one to one, your endless complaints have been rejected, hahahaha."

The astrologer apprentice chewed the rice grains in his mouth. In all fairness, this is a qualified plate of homemade risotto, but compared to the pot of fragrant but **** beef risotto cooked by the father of Cherry Du’s renting day. , Jonah feels that he can finish a plate of food in such a calm manner, no matter what the chef’s craftsmanship, it is supremely delicious,

But he knew in his heart that such peace must be very short-lived,
