The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 43: Heart of the Desert (Part 1)

"Mushroom Farm Trident", using the knowledge of the mysterious magic circle, Jonah completed the first original star formation in the apprenticeship of an astrologer on the three-masted sailing ship "Bactria's Blast". I don’t know why At the moment when the first test shot was successful, Jonah looked at the three dazzling rays arranged in the equilateral triangle, and Toba’s honest smile appeared in his mind, and he was gradually becoming stronger. Stronger and stronger enough to protect every partner around him, the astrologer apprentice clenched Sila Fauna tightly, and the blood in his body ran unceasingly,,, at least, no longer let the tragedy of Mrs. Room Master repeat itself,

"Only drawing on paper is so powerful. If it is carved on crystal, the larger crystal stone." Danny turned in disbelief and stroked the three small finger-thick holes in the bulkhead. The remaining temperature of her was scalded, and she kept blowing on the tips of her fingers,

"The larger the star array, the stronger the mental power of the driver is required. With my ability, a fist-sized intermediate red crystal is already the limit." Jona thought for a while, "calculated based on input and output power. , The power of the trident is about four to five times greater than the scorching rays of the same scale, and it consumes exactly twice the energy of the spiritual pool."

The eyes of the Stewart guy's eyes lit up: "It can be used as a cannon. The crystal is not a one-time use. Do you need fifty silver coins for one shot?"

Jonah was startled, "It's not a one-off. At the level of a cannon, even if I can barely drive it, I can only fire one shot a day, and the spiritual pool will be emptied."

"Enough is enough." Danny was overjoyed, rubbing his palms: "Look, although you are a cargo, we are a courier business carrier. We have different positions and different opinions, but since we are in the same boat, we have shared the joys and sorrows. Drought tornado, rushing down the big sand waterfall, can also be regarded as a companionship born to death, I think my suggestion is not excessive, it is only a suggestion, of course you have the right to refuse, but after listening, you may not Will simply deny it......"

"If you can find a pure large red crystal, I promise to help you build a cannon-level trident star array to fend off the enemy together." The astrologer apprentice is not a fool, and immediately wakes up and happily agrees,

Danny immediately magically took out a piece of parchment paper filled with words from his white robe, grabbed Jonah's right index finger and dipped it in the ink bottle, and pressed it to the bottom right corner of the paper with a chirping sound. I can’t see the speed and shook the paper in front of Jona: "Look at it clearly. This is a contract that you promised to provide services to this ship. It will take effect today and will be valid for 30 years. The Tocharian Civil Affairs Tribunal officially recognizes. The standard document has the sacred and inviolable effect, my cargo friend, thank you."

"Um,...what." Jonah didn't react yet,

"It's nothing, let's get some air on the deck and take a look at the scenery." Danny smiled and hugged Jona’s shoulders, pulling him up the gangway, "From now on, please also Take care of me. I didn’t expect you to be a very good astrologer before.

"It's nothing, just a little improvement. I also want to thank Hannah for lending me the white cherry blossoms of summer." The apprentice astrologer blushed, touched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly,

"What's the point of being humble, put the cannon thing behind, let's look around first." Danny squeezed Jonah's shoulders and pushed him onto the deck, throwing it to the side of the ship, bending over and heading. An overly exaggerated aristocratic hand-off gift: "Now I present you with the peerless scenery of the endless sand and sea, the unique picture that cannot be copied, the legendary...Forget it, I won't say much, you can see for yourself."

Jonah was already watching. His eyes were so wide that a few particles of flying sand accurately hit the unsuspecting pupils, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but the astrologer apprentice was holding back the soreness of his eyes, no Will blink, because that will temporarily erase the shocking scene in front of me,,, even though it is only a moment,

"Your dementia is the best compliment to the people in the desert." Danny bowed awkwardly,

Hannah stood at the bow of the ship, her short blonde hair shining like a torch in the morning light, "The year I came to the South Continent, I just remembered it, it was the same morning, and my father took me and Danny, Standing shoulder to shoulder on the back of'chacha', looking at the scenery like this, that was the happiest moment of my life." She turned her back to the two men and said in a leisurely voice, "Daddy was still my dad at the time. Not the king of sand pirates known as the "master of the lunatic asylum," a ruthless man running through the sea of ​​sand."

"You remembered wrong, sister, it was Aunt Byanka who was watching the scenery with us." Danny sighed, "At that time, my dad had already started running around and blackmailing the gold coins of the aborigines."

"I think you remembered it wrong, brother, when I was four years old, my dad captured this sandworm with the help of seven sailors, and built a simple shack on the back of the chirping. In September, we came here, the days were still peaceful, everything was beautiful." Hannah turned around and stared at her brother with gray-green eyes,

"No, no." The male Stewart shook his fingers. "In September, the old Bei had already conquered the east side of the Speed ​​Star and started to build the dock. Dad took the full crew with him at that time. Armed sailors explored around in a pocket-sized sandworm and attacked aboriginal tribes one after another, bringing back gold and silver treasures and precious food and water. At that time, Aunt Biyangka accompanied us living on the back of Chicha. And her little attendant."

"Chichi..." The controversy ended with the steam eruption of the big gun "Climb Henry's Prosthesis" when pressurized. Watching Danny slowly lower her head and close her mouth, Hannah gently Relax your right hand on the handle of the gun and nod your head to show encouragement,

"Good, so tall." Jonah finally uttered a complete sigh,

"...Is it." Danny Stewart replied weakly,

In front of the route of "Bactria's Blast", there is a huge undulating and boundless mountain, ochre-yellow mountains rise from the skyline, and the majestic main peak rushes into the sky, Strange rocks on both sides are raised, and the mountain is drooping to both sides, but as far as the horizon is out of sight of Jona, the mountain is not connected to the horizon. Even in the lowest place, there is a large sand waterfall that is far higher than 700 yards. The horrible height of, the rising sun has plated the gold-red outlines of the mountains in the southwest, which looks more majestic and moving,

Such a big mountain appeared in the endless yellow sand. The astronomical apprentices were once again sincerely amazed by the changeable topography of the southern continent. Such a vast mountain must have a moving name. Jonathan wiped his eyes and filled his arms. Turning to the Stewart brothers and sisters expectantly: "What is the name of this mountain."

"Mountain." Danny asked strangely, as if he didn't understand his question, "What mountain."

"This is the mountain." Jonah stretched his hand forward, thinking to himself whether there was something wrong with his expression in the Western Continent,

"You mean...mountain." Danny suddenly laughed and fell to his knees with a plop, hammering the deck: "You said this is a mountain, hahahaha...I thought you could guess it. Yes, what is the name of this mountain, hahaha...Hannah, look, what a lovely cargo friend, hahaha..."

Jonah was ashamed and angry when he was smiling, and Syrah Fauna was in his hand, "What is the laugh? Am I wrong? This is obviously a mountain."

Hannah turned to look at him, with a smile on her mouth, but instead of sprinkling a handful of salt on the injured liver of the astrologer apprentice, she explained: "That's not a mountain. In the usual way of my brother, you What I saw was the great mother of all sandworms in the endless sand sea, the demigod daughter of the main **** Luta, one of the greatest creations in the southern continent, the eternal spiritual totem of desert civilization, where it is, the life of sandworms Where is the home of the Shahai people, where is the center of the entire desert, yes, what you see is..."

"Wait, wait." Danny jumped up and gestured to a stop: "What you said is not exciting enough. You should use a mysterious, proud, and solemn tone to create enough suspense, and then Reveal it all at once, so that it has a dramatic effect. I'll do it again, you learn something, cough." He cleared his throat, "...The center of the entire desert, where is... Yes, you, look. What we got here is..."

"Postworm."

Yona spoke blankly,

"...You **** layman who doesn't know how to perform." Danny puffed out and squatted aside, ignoring him,

In fact, this description comes from Jona’s guess that it should exist and actually exist in the companion chapter of "Geography of the Western Continent": the legendary "Geography of the Southern Continent". The words spoken by the Stewart brothers and sisters are from "Geography of the Southern Continent" The chapter about sandworms in the second chapter "Geographical Calculation and Ecological Research of the Endless Sand Sea", the original text describes the term "postworm": the great mother of all sandworms in the endless sand sea, the half of the main **** Luta The goddess, one of the greatest creations in the South Continent, the eternal spiritual totem of desert civilization, where the worms are, the lives of sandworms are there, the homes of the Shahai people are, and the center of the desert is where. ,

In the endless sand sea, the aboriginal Tantuha people (the ethnic branch of the Colombo people in the southern part of the Western Continent, migrated from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent Desert 20,000 years ago to settle in The loosely gathered tribal form characterized by sandworm mobile architecture,,, "The Formation of Western Races", j?j? Thomas, 2250-2298,) In the culture, the pronunciation of "Hou Chong" is the same as "God", although During the long exchanges with the Tocharian Empire, the Tantuha slowly accepted their belief in the creator and **** of fertility, Luta, but most of the staunch Anglican members still considered them to be heretics because the Tantuhas Worship of the posterior worm is more than any god,

In the "Ten-Year War" that began in 2107, the Tocharian Empire defeated the allied forces of the 14 Tantukha tribes and took over the southeastern territory of the endless sea of ​​sand. This war that led to the complete decline of the desert natives was Caused by the conflict of beliefs, the Tantuha tried to build a figure-eight parade supply station in Namozha province, and erected an ugly statue of the worm opposite the Anglican Church. This rampant behavior touched the scales of the Tocharian Empire. , The Golden City, which was in the honeymoon period with the Anglican Church, was angry. With the help of Buddhist monks and soldiers, the camel cavalry and the sharp machete expedition to the endless sea of ​​sand and won the final victory. People are declining, but both tourists and new colonists in the endless sea of ​​sand should have a sense of awe at the backworm, and prohibit any vulgar and disrespectful behavior, such as: cursing the backworm; cursing the backworm inside; spitting on the backworm Spitting; spitting up blood; peeing; undressing; exposing genital organs; exposing thighs; spitting smoke ring; scratching one's head and posing; shooting; throwing food; throwing feces;
