The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 90: The Tail of the Giant Beast (Part 2)
Jonah blinked his eyes in disbelief, the light was still on the retina, and the traces had been extinguished in the night, he did not dare to delay a minute, taking advantage of the impression of the shape, began to search around the ghost of the Bahamas tail Clues,
Ten minutes later, hope came again. At the bottom of a huge pothole, he found unnatural artificial carvings. Someone had cut a door on the skin of the behemoth that was tougher than metal, the same color as the skin. The door is locked tightly with hinges. If you don’t observe carefully, it’s not easy to find the gap around the door. A door means there is a room, which means a safe haven and a chance for survival. At this time, it is extremely pleasantly surprised. Jonah couldn’t think of other things at all. He tried to knock on the door and found that there was no response. He stepped back two steps and raised Syrah Fauna to directly attack the star formation.
After so long, Jonah recovered from the exhausted spirit pool in the spine of the worm. The "Mushroom Farm Trident" sprayed out from the top of the imprint of the gods, and instantly penetrated the defense. With a bang, the steel gate was blasted to pieces. The astrologer apprentice waited for a few minutes until the temperature of the red-hot iron dropped slightly before jumping over the remains of the gate and entering this mysterious room.
After entering the door and turning a corner, you can see the whole picture of the room. Judging from the color and material of the wall, the room was artificially excavated from the skin of the ghost Bahamas. I don’t know what tools the builders used to deal with the hard beasts. Thick skin, the room is not big, the lighting star array illuminates every corner of the hut, "Food...water." Jonah yelled and ran forward,
The decoration in the room is very simple. The two rows of wooden shelves on the left and right are filled with glass bottles of water, hard cheese and rusks. There are a few straw futons in the middle, which should be used for sleeping. The water bottle and food are thick. The thick dust, I don’t know how long it has been stored, but the dry climate of the desert will not spoil the food. Jonah rushed to grab a piece of bread, brushed off the dust, and took a bite. The hard iron-like food was in his dry mouth. Slowly softening, he held up another bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, filled half of the bottle down, flushed the food from his mouth down the esophagus, "huh..." Yona let out a long breath, all over his body. Sitting limply on the ground, the feeling of the rest of his life was so wonderful. He could feel every crumb of dry bread being greedily absorbed by his stomach and turned into energy rushing in his blood vessels. Jona slowly After eating a piece of bread, a piece of cheese, and drunk a bottle of water, sleepiness hits like mountains and seas. He barely pushed through a row of shelves to block the broken door, and fell asleep on the soft futon with a plop.
He didn't dream. He slept until dawn. It took several minutes before the sleepy Jonah remembered where he was. The sound of wind in his ear reminded him that the ghost of the Bahamas was still moving forward. It’s a little weird for Jonah to sleep so peacefully in such a dangerous place and such a weird cabin,
The astrologer apprentice walked out of the room and stood at the bottom of the pit to look at the sky. The sun was already high and it was a new day. He reached out his hand and stroked the rough and hard skin of the ghost Bahamas with a strange feeling in his heart. Why does this giant beast keep running in the endless sea of sand, and who has dug out a hut on it and lives here? Now, where the owner of the hut has gone, it seems that the moonlight elf in the bottle seems to know what to order , Thinking of this, Jonah took out the glass jar and tried to unscrew the cap, but no matter how hard he could not loosen the cap a little, it seemed that the cursed elf could no longer be able to say twenty words a day. It's out, it's really a weird curse...
There are so many weird things that have happened in the last few days. Jonah temporarily threw the elf in the bottle back into his buckskin bag, and looked back at the cabin he lived in. Apart from the two rows of storage shelves and a few futons, the room There is nothing in it, no personal belongings, no information left by the owner, and the house has no windows. If the door is closed tightly, it will be dark even during the day. It seems that the original owner of the room is like a meditating monk. Or walker,
Looking at the few futons, Jonah moved in his heart. He took the end of the staff Sirafana and pushed the futon apart, revealing the floor of the room. There was something on the floor. The dark brown floor was painted with red paint. With some weird symbols that look like both graphics and words, Jonah tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, completely unaware of the meaning,
The clues that the Moonlight Elf left him yesterday night have now been forgotten. The astrologer apprentice ate and drank enough, filled with food and water all over, and started looking for clues. It took a whole day, except for angles. Outside of the steep and inaccessible fringe, he walked around every corner of the ghost Bahamas’ tail, and did not find a second trace of artificial excavation. He tried to look down, and immediately got scared. The legs and feet are weak. Although the height of the giant beast is not higher than the spine of the worm, the sand waves rising at an astonishing speed of 50 knots cover the sky and the sun. The sand currents surrounding the ghost Bahamas scurry around like a living rattlesnake, hissing There was a noise, and Jonah had no doubt that if he jumped recklessly, he would be torn to pieces by flying sand in an instant,
The sky was getting dark, the astrologer apprentice dragged his tired body back to the hut, blocked the door, and sat down in a daze. He couldn’t find any way to escape from the back of the ghost Bahamas. If he walked toward his head, the wind would change. Big, there is still no hope of escape, Jonah suddenly remembered the shape of the spiral,, if the moonlight spirit is the way to guide him to escape, then there must be something underground in this room,
Would you like to take a look at it?
Jonah squeezed the staff and slowly loosened it. This was repeated several times. In the end, he was cautious and defeated the impulsive. At midnight, you can summon the Moonlight Elf to ask her.” The small farmer’s mindfulness of Jona looked at the rack of supplies contentedly, sat down in a comfortable position, and looked through the "Southern Continent Geographical Survey" with the light of the illuminated star array. "After a night and a day, he has discovered that the ghost of the Bahamas is not perilous on its back. This behemoth seems to have forgotten his existence, and there is nothing that can hurt him.
Time passed quickly. When he went out to check the starry sky for the third time, he found that the "Bear" constellation had moved to the northwestern sky. A new day had arrived. Jonah went back to the room with some excitement, took out the glass jar, and indeed the bottle As soon as the cover is twisted, it opens, and the moonlight spirit turns into a green disc and spins up, hovering in front of him,
"Don't talk and listen to me." The astrologer apprentice stared at the elf and said, "I see. I can only say twenty words a day. That is the curse you have suffered. Head."
The elf in the bottle nodded in relief, and flicked its wings with relief to show appreciation,
"Is there any way to help you get rid of the curse, what can I do." Jonah couldn't help asking,
"Contract." The Moonlight Elf repeated the word again,
Jonah nodded, "I see, signing a contract with you can bring you into contact with the curse, right? How can you sign a contract... and you have to tell me first why you are cursed and why you are sealed in this In the bottle, will you cause any harm to the contractor, for example, the exchange condition is my soul."
The elf began another dazzling flight, and then landed on the top of the staff Sirafana. The green-haired elf sat on the staff in distress, propped his cheeks with his hands, and looked at the opposite side with an angry look. Human,
Jona didn’t know what to say. The Moonlight Elf seemed to be thinking about how to make good use of the remaining eighteen words. The two of them stared at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
"That's right." Suddenly, the apprentice astrologer took out the "Southern Continent Geography" from the buckskin bag, and opened a page casually and spread it on the ground, pointing to the Westland lingua franca on it: "You Which word falls on, it represents the meaning of which word, so that you can communicate without speaking."
The Moonlight Elf glanced at him disdainfully: "Cut, this kind of kid trick can also fool Sadi, the **** of ice and snow." As soon as the words were spoken, she covered her mouth with regret, with a look of collapse. ,
"Three, four, five, six...nineteen..." Jonah shook his fingers and counted. The nervous spirit said nineteen more words today. He put down the big book. "What you mean is that even if the information is transmitted through other means, it is counted within the range of twenty characters, right."
The green-haired elf firmly held his mouth and nodded violently with tears.
"...What you can do with one word, you have to wait for a new day." Jonah stretched out his hands helplessly, and the Moonlight Elf lay on the staff and looked at him sadly, "Or else, you use Draw a map in the same way yesterday and tell me how to leave the ghost Bahamas, and I will tell me the way to sign the contract tomorrow, good luck." Jona suggested,
The Moonlight Elf shook his head,
"...You are afraid that after I leave, I won't sign a contract with you. Is this an exchange condition?" The astrologer apprentice suddenly woke up,
The Moonlight Elf nodded,
The two people stared at each other again, not knowing how to deal with this embarrassing situation,
"Wait..." After a while, Jonah suddenly raised a finger, "By the way, there is no chapter about you in "Geography of the Western Continent", maybe there is in "Geography of the Southern Continent", I I forgot to check the entry of Moonlight Elf. Wait a minute."
He unfolded the big book, and then searched the catalogue with the light that illuminates the star array. The green-haired elf hovered beside him, looking at the astrologer apprentice and turning the pages. What was disappointing was the encyclopedia of the Southern Continent. There are no words about the Moonlight Elf in the middle, but the term "contract" appears in the catalog. Jonah turned to that page, his lips twitched, and he said silently.
The eyes of the elf suddenly lit up,
