The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 54: The Pool of Hidden Swords (Part 2)
"Tell her, we're going now." Hannah backhanded out the big gun "Clap Henry's Prosthesis" from her back, and pressed the start button to start preheating. Amidst the sneer of the steam eruption, Stewart's contemporary patriarch Scanning everyone: "I don't need her to remind, I also think it will be a bit troublesome today, brother, take good care of Jona, even if you take your own life, don't let him hurt."
"Ok...what." Danny was taken aback, and pursed his mouth: "His life is more valuable than mine. As the best observer, sailor, cook, and porter in the endless sea of sand, my life is comparable This pale apprentice astrologer is much more brilliant."
No one paid any attention to his complaint, led by the Tantuha woman, the group left the main peak and began to move along the north-south spine of the worm. After stepping out of the rock flat, there was no way. The intricate huge rocks filled the field of vision. The whole terrain is slightly undulating, showing a downward trend as a whole. It can be simply divided into three areas: the west slope, the east slope, and the ridge.
"Keep walking on the ridge. You and your guide pay attention to the east slope. Jonah and I are looking for clues on the west slope. Do you understand the sailor." Hannah held a big gun and gave instructions.
"Yes, captain, my lord." Danny replied sarcastically,
Jumping and climbing among rocks with no rules at all, you may slip into the abyss at any time. The physical strength consumed by this march is not comparable to that of the path of worship. It doesn’t take a while, just recovering a little energy. Exhausted, Jona’s body swayed three times before falling to the end of the team. Hannah looked back at him, "If you want to rest, please tell me at any time."
"No need." The astrologer apprentice leaned on his staff and waved weakly. "I walk slowly. While there is still sunshine, you can move forward quickly. It will be harder to find it when it gets dark."
"Understood, don't force it, we won't leave you." Hannah stretched out the big gun, motioned Jonah to hold the barrel, and with force, helped the astrologer apprentice jump over a yard wide trench.
The sun has slanted west, the shadows of the four people have been stretched out, the sky is deep sapphire blue, the western skyline, the sun is sinking into golden-red clouds, and the shadows of undulating sand dunes form a patchwork of natural abstractions Painting, "It's half an hour before sunset." Danny shouted, "...probably."
"Ask the guide, can torches be used to illuminate the Backworm's Ridge." Hannah said,
Danny Stewart asked in Tantuha, and got an affirmative answer, "No problem, the worm's ** must be kept in absolute darkness, and her back does not belong to the divine protection range."
"**." Jona vaguely heard this keyword at the end of the team,
"It's the tunnel below." Danny explained with a grin, "After all, you will understand later."
The sunset in the desert is faster than in the plains. The first moment is still full of sunsets. The next moment, the whole world is plunged into darkness. Jona is struggling to move between the rock crevices with one foot deep and one shallow foot. As soon as he raises his head, the night is Already enveloped the wild, I can’t see Hannah’s red cloak even with my eyes wide open,
"Hey, Hannah, Danny." Fear immediately made the astrologer apprentice's heart contract. He squeezed his staff and shouted, feeling that his voice was blown away by the north wind blowing from the top of the mountain, and could not be heard. How far away, "Hey, where are you, I am here, Danny, Hannah." Jonah closed a horn with his hand, and tried his best to call out the name of his new partner. There was no echo, and the night was like a thick mist. Surround him like this, with the starlight, you can barely see the rock under your feet, but any details ten yards away are blurred, let alone the distant ground a few hundred yards low,
A few minutes later, he beat his head in annoyance. At night, what better signal for distress than light, Jonah squatted down and picked up a piece of oval-shaped granite that was everywhere in the northeast wind. Most of the rubble of the tuyere and the spine of the worm have been weathered into this shape, becoming an ideal carrier for the star array,
Take out a carving knife from the deerskin bag, and Jonah scribbled the outline of the illuminated star array on the granite. Due to the simple structure, the illuminated star array does not have too much room for improvement like the "scorching rays". It just transforms the pure power of stars into pure light. After completing this star formation, Jonah thought for a while, and carved the attacking star formation "Mushroom Farm Trident" he invented on the back of the stone. If it resembles Hannah Saying that something unusual will happen today, so I need at least the strength to protect myself,
Holding the rock in his hand, Jonah feels that there are still some shortcomings. A well-functioning star array requires two parts to work together: a good carrier and a good conductor. Granite is an intermediate carrier. To exert the power of the star array, you also need To embed conductors in the nicks, the ideal ones are of course fine gold and mithril, but now the astrologer apprentice does not have any powdery objects except the scum of the wheat cake.
Scratching his head, Jonah suddenly came up with a crazy idea. Star dust is a wonderful product to enhance the astrologer’s induction ability. After all, it should also be a top conductor of the power of the stars. What other material can It is easier to transmit the power of the stars than the fragments of stars. Jonah carefully took out the glass bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap, blocked the wind with his body, and poured a little bit of star dust into the nicks of the trident star array.
The rainbow-colored powder shimmered in the starlight, and a thin layer of star dust adhered to the bottom of the notch, showing a brilliant colorful luster. "It's too wasteful..." Jona put away the glass bottle in pain, and couldn't bear it. The lighting star array is also coated with a layer of rainbow powder,
The engraving of the gods "Sirafaena" disguised as an old staff. The top of this staff originally had a groove for installing the illuminating red crystal. Jonah embedded the granite into the groove, left and right. As soon as he turned, a soft sound of "click" happened to be stuck. He raised his wand, borrowed power from the starry sky, and ignited the illuminating star array.
With the help of the magical power of the seven artifacts, the astrologer apprentice’s ability to search for interstellar lines, master energy flow, and control star arrays is greatly enhanced. In just a few seconds, the yellowish-brown rock on the head of the stick becomes a crystal clear crystal. The luminous body of the dazzling bright orange-red light illuminates a 300-yard radius in an instant, and the spine of the worm lights up a beacon in the night sky, even the night is bright red,
"Hannah, Danny." Knowing that the other party could not hear, Jonah still yelled, waving his staff,
I immediately received a response this time. In the darkness on the north side, three torches were lit up in sequence, and the nearest torch was lit and dimmed, as if to send out some signal. However, Jona’s words for this light I don’t know anything, I can only use the illuminated star array to draw circles on my head to prove that I am safe and sound.
The three torches did not move, and Jonah understood what they meant: The Stewart brother and sister stayed there waiting for him, "I'll be here soon." He cried out excitedly, and walked quickly in the direction of his companion, but When the apprentice astrologer was in agitated mood, he forgot to pay attention to the jagged crevices under his feet, "Hannah, Danny...Oh." Jonah felt that his feet were empty and his body was out of balance.
It seems that there is only a two-foot-wide gap between the two huge rocks, but the rock formation close to the gap has been eroded by gusts of wind, leaving only a thin shell. Jona’s broken leather boots stepped on the edge of the crust, immediately With a click, I smashed the rock formations and fell down the ridge.
In Jonah’s consciousness, the sky and the earth turned around several times, and dull pain came from his back and arms in sequence, and then a hard wall hit his face upright, shaking his entire head. They were all humming, the astrologer apprentice groaned in a low voice, slowly relaxing his body, even when he fell, he did not relax Sila Fauna, so at this moment, the illuminated star array at the top of the imprint of the gods is still shining, letting After the Venus disperses in front of him, he can check where he has fallen.
A rock wall about 20 yards high shows the distance of the fall. Fortunately, Jonah didn’t fall directly onto this rock flat, but instead rolled down from multiple rocks. Apart from his back and arms, Apart from the knee contusion, there was no other fracture magically. After a few minutes, Jonah sat up slowly, "Ouch..." He yelled, stroking his back with his hand, using astrology. The robe was torn by the rock, and many places on the back were swollen, and it hurt when touched,
"It's really unlucky...Hannah, Danny..." The astrologer apprentice yelled weakly, his eyes widened suddenly, and his throat choked with surprise, "Hey...here..."
"The place where everything begins and ends, the four elements are merged into one, uncovering the secrets of 540 suns for those who travel together."
Segles the Betrayer’s sixth prophecy sounded in Jona’s mind. This is not a coincidence, but fate arranged for him to fall from the ridge. Otherwise, such a marvelous wonder would be impossible to find in a lifetime. Jonah's body was trembling, and using a rod to support his body slowly stood up, "The place where the four elements merge into one...This is here..."
This is a ten-yard square rock flat on the west slope, slightly sunken in the natural **** of the ridge of the worm. It is not visible from the ridge. Jonah pointed out when interpreting the prophecy, although I don’t know what’s missing. What is the fourth element, but you can recognize it when you see this place with your own eyes. At this moment, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It turns out that all four elements are wrong..."
In the center of Shiping is a small water pool two yards in size. The green water is quiet and deep. It is hard to see how deep it is. A small tree grows on the edge of the water pool with a thin, thin stem about one person tall. The stem is topped by a bunch of lush young leaves, and there are a few small pink flowers under the leaves; the petals fall into the pool and rise and fall with the ripples. Jonah’s eyes swept across the falling flowers and saw a trace of crimson deep in the bottom of the pool. Shining, he approached the pool and brought the staff close to the surface of the water. It was hidden under the water through the slightly rippling blue waves. It was clearly a simple hilt with a mithril wire wrapped around the end of the hilt, embedded in it. The huge pink diamonds reflect the brilliance of the illuminated star array, and the pink diamonds appear brighter than the star array itself.
