The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 89: The Tail of the Giant Beast (Middle)

In the long dark night and endless trek, time has become a meaningless thing. There have been many hallucinations in front of Jonah’s eyes. He saw a hot bonfire burning not far in front of him. On the shelves are squeaky roasted suckling pigs and pheasants with a scorching yellow color and attractive aroma, and a pot of steaming meat porridge is cooked next to them. A sturdy man wearing a small round hat respectfully respects I stood up and greeted shyly: "Master Zhan, astrologer, I just prepared the meat porridge, come and warm up your body."

"Toba." The astrologer apprentice called the name of his loyal follower knight, "But, you are dead..."

"Yes." The head of the room was taken aback, took off his small round hat and bowed deeply: "Yes, sorry, astrologer, I completely forgot...I can't serve you in this life. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The illusion disappeared, and the tired Jonah was empty at his feet, and Gudong was tripped to the ground by a pit. He struggled to get up and lifted Syrah Fauna to illuminate. Unknowingly, he had already reached the tail of the giant beast. , The illuminated star array drives away the darkness within fifty yards. After only one glance, he pats his forehead in despair and sits on the ground.

There is no road ahead. Standing in front of you are countless dense thorns. There is no path for people to pass between the thorns. From the morphological point of view, this should be the tail of the ghost Bahamas. Jonah didn’t know this. What I have been looking for along the way, only to drive myself forward with a faint hope, now that faint hope like a firefly is shattering like a soap bubble, the apprentice astrologer relaxes his body voluntarily, and no longer has the strength to move a step. Up,

The cold is like mercury soaking his body, "Is that so." Jonah was lying on the uneven ground with his back to the sky, looking at the starry sky with confusion, the starlight of the endless sea of ​​sand was exceptionally bright, and the familiar Milky Way lay across. In the sky, his old friend, the 30th star "Bear" in the first house, is shining on the northwest sky. "Oh, it's already midnight." Jona muttered to himself, judging from the position of the "bear" , A new day has arrived, he has been walking on the back of the giant beast all night,

For some reason, looking at such a starry sky, Teacher Koshawa’s face suddenly appeared among the stars. The strange old man wore a tall pointed hat, his hair and beard were in a mess, and his small shiny eyes were hidden in wrinkles. In between, "Your greatest strength is diligence, young man, and the greatest weakness is that you have nothing but this strength." Teacher Koshava said vaguely, and threw the exercises on the table. , "Today’s dinner is gone, go and redo the wrong exercises, and then come to my laboratory to find me."

Jonathan Jonah stood aggrieved at the entrance of the restaurant on the bottom of the Astrology Tower, "But, teacher, I can get the angle data of the interstellar line without using Albert's equation, as long as the measurement is accurate..."

"Do you think you are very smart?" Koshawa squeaked his food and raised his eyebrows: "Cleverer than me, cleverer than the old guys of the Astrologer Association, cleverer than the original mentor Gilbernaion. "

"No, no, I didn't..." Jonah lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.

"You can't even see the simplest things." Teacher Koshava snorted disdainfully, "There may be many ways to solve the problem, but you only need one, the simplest one. , The fastest and easiest way to find the truth, as long as there is one, if all the ways seem to be useless, it means that you have not found the right way, there is no answer without a solution, but the answer has not yet appeared, do you understand , Young man."

Jonathan lowered his head, holding back the tears in his eyes, "I don't understand, teacher..."

The old man spit out a bone, grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth: "Forget it, go back and do your exercises, you will grow up one day, face all kinds of things, and then Think about what I said."

The astrologer apprentice shivered, the image of the teacher disappeared without a trace, Mr. Koshava, if you were by my side now, what would you do if you faced this situation? There were chaotic thoughts in your mind. Jonah unconsciously opened the deer leather bag and began to look for items that might be helpful to him. The same familiar items slipped past his stiff fingertips. "If all the methods seem to be useless, then you have not found the right one. The way..." Jonah read the teacher’s teaching silently, "It’s useless...it’s useless...it’s useless...wait."

His fingers rested on a cold and smooth surface. It was a glass jar containing a naked girl. According to Danny’s translation, the green-haired girl with wings was a cursed moonlight elf. In the depths of the Backworm’s Spine, the Moonlight Elf appeared automatically, helping them to unlock the last words of the Sand Pirate King. Now, trapped on the back of the ghost Bahamas, can he get the help of the Elf in the Bottle again?

I don’t know where I got the strength, Jonah turned over and sat up, raised the glass jar and looked at it. The elf curled up in the bottle and closed his eyes quietly. He hadn't changed his posture, making him doubt his memory. Is it an illusion caused by poisonous mushrooms, "Just leave it, try it..." The astrologer apprentice nodded secretly, reached out and grabbed the bottle cap and twisted it lightly. The cap was loosened.

Jonah flashed back unconsciously to prevent something strange from happening, but nothing changed. The girl in the bottle was still closed his eyes. He dropped the bottle cap strangely, and looked close to the bottle. Suddenly A green light dazzled his eyes, "Ah." Jonah exclaimed, stepped back and rubbed his eyes. There was a dazzling green light in the air. The moonlight elf woke up, Flying in the air at a speed that is difficult for the naked eye to capture,

"You, hello, I am the astrologer apprentice d. Jonah II, I...I need your help." Jonah touched his chest and performed a fairly formal etiquette, regardless of whether the moonlight elf was good It’s evil. The existence of this magical creature is a miracle in itself, a masterpiece of the creator and **** Sheila,

The green light condensed at one point, and the moonlight elf hovered in the air, staring at the huge human opposite with sapphire eyes. Three pairs of wings vibrated silently behind them, and the snow-white complexion reflected the starlight, like an exquisite piece. Unparalleled artwork,

"Hello, do you understand." Jonah squatted down cautiously and looked at the Moonlight Elf. "I don’t speak any other languages ​​besides the Western Continent. Do you, do you speak Elvish? , This morning...No, it was yesterday morning. I heard you speak and I understood. Do you speak the lingua franca of the Western Continent."

"Contract."

After a long silence, the elf finally spoke, and her silver bell-like clear voice rang directly in the mind of the astrologer apprentice, and Jona was taken aback: "What did you say."

"...a contract." The Moonlight Elf walked around in the air, repeating, seemingly annoyed,

"Oh, I know, a contract is a kind of instrument that stipulates that one party must serve the other for a certain period of time." Jonah was confused, "And then."

"..." The elf flew around in annoyance, shook Jona’s eyes with flowers, and with a squeak, the moonlight elf appeared between Jona’s eyes, stretched out his fingers like spring onion buds, and pointed at him. The pretty face pointed at the human eyebrows, and said viciously: "Sign the contract."

The astrologer apprentice suddenly realized that there are of course similar plots in the knight novels I have read before. On the way to save the princess, the knight signs a contract with a powerful guardian and pays a certain price in exchange for the help of magical creatures. This kind of thing really happened in reality. Now that it happened, he seemed a little hesitant, because Mr. Koshava never mentioned the existence of this wonderful creature, and "Geography of the Western Continent" also didn't talk about the moonlight elves. According to the description, the seal on the bottle cap also reads "cursed". What if this charming little elf is actually an evil magical creature, signing a contract with her, will he give up his soul?

The weak-character Jonah hesitated and did not speak. The impatient elves were flying around him, the bright green trajectory entwined him like a silk thread, "Ouch." Suddenly, there was a pain in his head and Jonah stretched out his hand. A touch, no abnormality was found, but the angrily moonlight elf stopped in front of him, and when he let go, four or five flax curly hairs slowly fell.

"Sure enough, it's an evil spirit..." Jonah was taken aback, squatted down and picked up the glass jar and bottle cap, trying to find a way to seal her up again, and the unbearable moonlight spirit flew to his ear and pulled. The ear of the astrologer apprentice yelled: "Idiot, I can only say twenty words a day."

Jona was stunned, but the Moonlight Elf turned into a green light and flew into the bottle. The cap of the bottle was automatically separated from Jona’s palm and flew up. The seal written in Elvish language emitted light and slowly rotated with a click. , The bottle cap and the bottle body are integrated, the light is extinguished, the moonlight elf is once again locked into the glass jar, and the green-haired girl falls asleep, looking like an exquisite handicraft porcelain doll,

"Uh... what she said just now, she can only say twenty words a day, is this the curse she suffered." It took a long time for Jonah to realize that there is such a strange curse in the world. , It seems that we have to ask her for details, and we have to wait another day. Jonah smiled bitterly and looked at the sky. The stars glowed coldly. Do I have one day left? There is no food, water, or shelter here. How long can the beast support?

At this time, the bright green track left by the moonlight elves when they flew back to the glass jar began to fade away. The astrologer apprentice glanced, but his eyes froze. The ups and downs of the track clearly meant that he was walking all the way. The terrain that came to pass,,, the shape of the back of the ghost Bahamas, the end of the trajectory, draw a spiral descending curve, this is clearly a reminder, the map of the terrain left by the moonlight elves,——
