Chapter 1 The Golden Compass

Under the vast starry sky is an endless black and blue sea, the sea surface is windless and waves, the water waves are like mirrors, and the dhow is moving on it without even feeling it is moving forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I leaned on the side of the ship, looking up at the starry sky, without sorrow or joy, as if I had been a monk.

Sophie sat beside me, staring at me, only twenty centimeters apart, but we were both silent in our own world.

I don't know what Sophie was thinking, I don't even know when she's sitting next to me. All I have in my heart is this golden compass in my hand, and only it can give me the strength to forget the pain for a while.

The golden compass does not point north, but points to what the person who holds it wants most. It represents the direction of man's greatest desires.

Now the golden compass points to the dhow directly in front of the dhow, where my greatest desire, the Gate of Time and Space!

In the ruins of the Mayan royal tribe, Sophie and I were rescued from the crystal skull and discovered that Dr. Zheng was the true leader of the Pirates of the Caribbean, who coveted the magical power of the Scepter of Life, and with his men and a large army of mercenaries with the world's most advanced weapons, he completely exterminated the ancient tribe that was suffering from the double suffering of the greatest earthquake and volcanic eruption in history.

It's ridiculous to say that in the face of unfavorable situations and sheer power, the so-called magical sorcery becomes vulnerable.

Dr. Zheng got what he wanted, and with an added bonus, the Scepter of Death! The combination of the two scepters is the true scepter of the king.

I don't know if Dr. Zheng will conquer the world with it, but the Golden Compass was indeed discovered because of this complete King's Scepter.

I was telling him about my magical experience in the underworld, and it was a coincidence that Dr. Cheng seemed to find it uncomfortable to have the scepter pinned to his waist, so he pulled it out.

And we were standing in front of the huge crystal skull, and at the moment when Doctor Zheng pulled out the king's scepter, the death black diamond as big as a fist instantly erupted into pitch-black magic light, and at the same time, the left eye of the crystal skull also emitted a magical laser light, which immediately attracted the attention of all of us.

"What is this?" Physician Zheng was very precious to this treasure of his, and suddenly became worried.

When I saw the Death Diamond facing the left eye of the Crystal Skull, I couldn't help but feel a stir in my heart and blurted out, "Quick, try the White Diamond in its right eye!" ”

Physician Zheng didn't know that I was blind, seeing my eager expression, thinking that I had found some treasure mechanism, although he was suspicious, he still dropped the scepter one by one according to his words, and pointed the white diamond towards the right eye of the crystal skull, and a miracle appeared, after the white diamond was a ball of holy white light, the right eye of the crystal skull also radiated the same laser light as the left eye, and at the same time, a rapid sound erupted from the inside of the nose bone of the crystal skull, and the golden compass was ejected from the inside.

"The Golden Compass? Artifact of desire. Physician Zheng picked up the golden compass from the ground and stared at the small pure gold thing, shocked and unable to help but reveal its origin.

"The Golden Compass, is it an artifact of desire?" I've never heard of it, but since it came out of a crystal skull, I'm sure it must have something to do with the Space-Time Gate, and maybe it's the clue to finding the real space-time gate. But how did Dr. Cheng learn about these uses?

I was thinking about how to get it from him, but Dr. Zheng handed it to me, "Since you are looking for the gate of time and space, then this one holds this thing, I believe, you can find it." ”

Having the compass in my hand, I was confused, really confused, I didn't understand why he was helping me.

When the golden compass came into my hand, the little hands on it immediately changed direction and pointed to the sea.

Physician Zheng smiled, "Looks like you still need a boat." ”

After saying that, Doctor Zheng beckoned one of his subordinates to come closer, "Free up a boat for this gentleman and meet all his requests." ”

After the order, Dr. Zheng said to me, "Come with him, I still have a lot of things to do, such as dividing the spoils, I must be present, preside over it personally, so I won't accompany you." ”

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that I hadn't recovered from the shock, "Are you curious why I am so generous to help you?" ”

I nodded.

"Because your story is fascinating to me, I also want to know what exactly you mean by the 'Time and Space Gate'?" After saying that, Dr. Zheng walked away, he didn't go far, and then turned back and said, "If you have a chance to come back and tell me, don't forget, my real name is Zheng He!" ”

"Thank you!" I shouted at Dr. Zheng's back.

He didn't look back, waved his hand and walked away.

To this day, I still don't know why Dr. Zheng helped me, his real intentions may not be simple, of course, it may be that I am thinking too much, maybe he is just curious, or he thinks that I am not annoying, that's all.

I woke up from my dream, only to find Sophie sitting next to me, and when I looked back at her, I saw her gaze over me looking at the sea, and I asked softly, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Stars," Sophie didn't look at me and still stared at the sea, "there are countless stars in the sea!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, turned my head, and saw that the black and blue sea surface turned into a starry sky when I dreamed, and countless plankton emitted a faint shimmer, as if the sky full of stars had fallen into the deep sea. It's a beautiful sight!

Sophie looked at the sea, patted her side and motioned me over, I moved to sit down, she immediately leaned over, afraid of the cold and snuggled up to me, I hugged her, looking at the two starry skies in the sky and the sea, as if I was at the junction of the two worlds of dream and reality, I didn't know where to go.

"Can you kiss me?" Sophie said dreamily.

I don't know why, I really kissed her. After kissing, I was surprised, why is this, is it because of this dreamlike starry sky? I don't know, I just know that I should be infinitely sad, but now I hold her, and there is no sadness at all.

Sophie stood up, she was barefoot, she stepped on the deck silently, walked towards the cabin, and when she came to the entrance, she turned back and waved to me, I didn't refuse, I really went with her.

After a few seconds, the dhow began to jolt as if it had encountered an undercurrent.

When the boat was finally calm again, Sophie said to me, "Thank you! ”

I gently patted her on the back and didn't speak.

When I fell asleep tiredly, Sophie, who was naked, suddenly began to weep softly.

In my sleep I rolled over, Sophie hurriedly held back her tears, wiped away her tears, gently leaned over and hugged me and closed her eyes.
