"Every adult man has a very terrible enemy, it is invisible, flickering, no matter how you use it, you can't defeat it, he can control your mind, crush your spirit, destroy your **, Let you fall into endless pain, unable to breathe, difficult to work, even life itself is a kind of torture, eager to find a knife to end your life, this enemy has been rampant on the continent for thousands of years, but no one can subdue him, all men succumb to his obscenity, and do not even dare to give birth to a heart of challenge, this is an infinite humiliation......" The above are the horrific remarks that Teacher Koshawar used to educate Jonah,

The frightened astrologer apprentice asked blankly, "Teacher, who is that?" ”

"Hangover. ”

The seventh-level astrologer Koshava, who was covering his head, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes and said hatefully,

Now Jonah was in sympathy with the strange old man who had been hanging out in the tavern for many years, and as soon as he sat up, he was struck down by a sudden headache, "Oops. Jonah pressed his hands to his temples, and felt ten thousand sharp daggers thrust left and right in the skull, wringing his brain and willpower to pieces.

Danny poked his head in from the doorway, "What's wrong?" ”

“...... Headache. Jonah grinned and replied,

"Normal. Danny grinned, "You'll know what a real hangover is if you've drunk a bottle of Silver Label Cactus like me, take your time, cargo friend." ”

Jonah lifted a symbolic rope from his body, "Prove that you are our cargo." Danny explained with a smile as Jonah slowly got out of bed and looked around, a messy but clean room, the wooden floor shaking beneath his feet and hot sand wafting in the air, "I'm on the boat." He covered his forehead and asked, "What happened last night, it seems that my memory was interrupted after the young lady entered the house......

"The cutie told you the news of your partner, and you drank and hung up, and that's it. "It's 11 p.m. on May 1st, and we want to take advantage of the windless season to cross the Great Sand Falls, and you must visit the scenery of the Great Sand Falls, which you will never forget." ”

It took Jonah five minutes to hold on to the wall and get out of the cabin and up the stairs to the deck, where the three-masted galleon "The Wind of Bactria" was galloping in the endless sea of sand with a strong northeast wind, and the long smoke and dust of the worms were drawn to the sky, and the light of the golden sun made Jonah squint his eyes and his head tingled.

"What time did it depart, the ship was repaired. He looked around, and it looked like a temporary repair, the damage was reinforced with brass hoops and large rivets, the curved mainmast was wrapped in layers of iron like a mille-feuille, and on closer inspection, there were two large patches on the sails,

"At three o'clock in the evening, the night wind was just right, so we didn't wake you up and set sail directly. Danny patted the side of the boat and smiled openly: "Of course, another reason is that Lao Bei is asleep and will not ask us for maintenance fees......"

Jonah was no longer surprised by what the embarrassed Stewart could do, and he shook his head, trying to shake the headache out of his head, "What a hangover...... By the way, you didn't have time to tell me yesterday what the hell the Great Sand Falls is. ”

The man of the Stewart family leaned on the side of the boat leisurely and shook his fingers: "No, no, the big sand waterfall is not a thing, it is a staircase in the middle of the endless sand sea, a joke made by the creator about all the creatures in the desert, simply put, the terrain of the desert is high in the northeast, The south-west is low, and the difference in height of 700 yards is not reflected in the gentle slope, but in the center of the desert a waterfall of quicksand 700 yards high, and the northeast wind pushes the 10,000-ton yellow sand to the southwest, and the sand flows down from the cliff to form a waterfall, which is no different from a real waterfall except that it flows with grains of sand. ”

Jonah was amazed, "Then how are we going to go down?" ”

"Of course, it's a boat. Danny looked at him in surprise, "Otherwise, swim down." ”

"Won't it fall? "The astrologer's apprentice's understanding of the waterfall is limited to a small tributary of the holy river that flows through the Red Stone Fort in St. Borun, and from the astrological tower you can see a small waterfall with a slope of 100% and a drop of 5 yards, which looks very turbulent,

Danny explained: "No problem, the big sand waterfall is not straight up and down, as long as there is a little slope, the sandworm can rush down with a sailboat, due to the wind, the slope of the sand waterfall is changing at any time, according to the cutie, this year seems to be a bit difficult, let's see for ourselves in a moment." ”

Catherina ...... The young lady left. "Because of the effects of alcohol, Jonah had an extremely vague impression of the woman,

"Two hours ahead of us, her dhow 'Oasis' is one of the fastest sailboats in the endless sand sea, built on an elite standard sandworm, the last piece of Lao Bei's own design, a very remarkable sailboat. Complimenting Maximi even a few words, Danny peeked at his sister a little weakly, Hannah stood at the bow of the ship grasping the rudder, and didn't seem to care about their little conversation,

Jonah pressed his temple, waited for a sharp pain to pass, and asked in a low voice, "So, Elliot is waiting for me in the golden city of Bactria, isn't it a dream?" ”

Danny shook his head, "Don't think about it, cargo friend, we can't change the route, you won't be able to go anywhere until we reach Namoza." ”

“...... Where is Namoza, how many days can it be reached, and how far it is from the Golden City. The astrologer apprentice looked up and looked into the other's eyes with the last glimmer of hope,

The man of the Stuart family muttered, "If the wind is always so ideal, and it doesn't delay the time at the Hind Node, it will take about six days, and Mozha City is a desert city of the Tocharian Empire, on the edge of an endless sea of sand, from there it is 1,200 miles away by land to the Golden City, and even if you ride the fastest steam golem-powered carriage, it will take four to five days. ”

Jonah did a simple mental arithmetic, and a bright color appeared on his face: "So, it's possible to arrive before the fifteenth." ”

Danny didn't explicitly agree, he raised his finger and pointed to the sky, "Possibly, it's just a possibility, the Lord God Luta is above, this world is full of all kinds of unknowns, one unknown after another will make precise calculations meaningless, we can't guarantee anything, for example, who is waiting for you in Namoza, whether it is a friend or foe who entrusts us to transport you to it." ”

This is also a mystery that Jonah has been thinking about for a long time but has not been able to find an answer, "I don't know, I don't have a clue. The protruding astrologer apprentice sighed, looked at the rolling sand dunes that flew by, and licked his dry lips,

"Water. "A water bag appeared in front of me,

"Thank you. Jonah took the half-full cowhide water bag, poured a few mouthfuls of cool liquid, wiped his mouth, and was surprised to find that it was Hannah Stewart who cared about him.

"I need to know about the white cherry blossoms of Summer. The younger sister looked at him with narrow gray-green eyes, and her short messy blond hair looked very dazzling.

"Of course, just let me study it a little more, a few hours will be enough. This was also a topic of great interest to Jonah, and he cheered up and replied,

There was a regular fluctuation of high frequency on the deck, and the sand was bouncing on the floor, and Jonah strangely lifted his foot to look at the ground, nothing unusual, "Here it is, Hannah." Danny jumped to his feet, grabbed a rope and quickly climbed up the mainmast, jumping into the high lookout,

Hannah immediately returned to the rudder and shielded her palms from the sun, "I can't see it yet, how far away." ”

"I don't see it either...... Wait, the sand fog has appeared, and yes, the big sand waterfall is within 5 miles. The elder brother's voice came from the air, and there was a slight tension and strong excitement in his voice, "Cargo friend, all the items on the ship, except for you, are all fastened to the deck with ropes, wait a minute, we will experience a very exciting rappelling game, it is recommended that you prepare for safety,,, it is a good idea to tie yourself back to the mast." ”

"What. Jonah didn't react a little,

"Fix yourself. Hannah reminded and yelled at her brother, "Can you see the slope, which direction to enter, and when to start slowing down?" ”

"Who do you think I am, you can guess the slope by the height of the sand and fog. Danny yelled back, "Anyway, if you don't die, that's not how it happens every year." ”

Hannah was furious: "'The Wind of Bactria' is not what it looks like in Daddy's hands, he can always find the gentlest slope to pass through, can you show a little bit of a navigator's look." ”

Danny was even angrier than she was: "Make one thing clear, dear sister, now that you are the current head of the Stewart family, it is your responsibility to protect the three-masted galleon, do you really think that when my father was alive, he would make the foolish act of driving the unprotected sailboat into a dry tornado just because he was angry with the Schmidt family." ”

Hannah shot back angrily, "Daddy wouldn't stick to that pretentious woman like a boneless slime monster, and if it weren't for you, a traitor, who repeatedly protected her, I would have shot her pretentious little head and avenged Daddy in hell." ”

"Hell, I agree with that. Danny nodded, then yelled at a louder voice, "Do you think she's a porcelain doll with two copper coins in the store, and she can be broken if you break it, but she's Catherine? Maximilian, not to mention the great knight behind her, with the old guys in the Star Racing Tavern who know her face well, if you dare to hurt her hair, they will tear you like a rag doll to pieces that the hellish dad can't even recognize." ”

Jona turned a deaf ear to the bickering of his siblings, his mouth wide open, and his eyes glazed out of the schooner, the bow of the three-masted galleon hung with chains, The bow statue of the main god Luta, who opened his mouth and shouted silently, at this moment, the delicate statue seemed to be screaming vigilantly at the overwhelming yellow fog, at the end of the desert ahead, the blue sky had been dyed earthy yellow by the strange fog rising from the skyline, this dust fog seemed to be very close to the dust raised by the dry tornado, but after a few seconds, the clipper rushed into the area covered by the sand fog, Jonah immediately coughed strongly, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his clothes,
