It's a pine tree,—— or "it's supposed to be a pine tree." When something that is so familiar in everyday life that there is no misunderstanding at all is magnified to a thousandfold bizarre scale, the person's judgment will be somewhat problematic. Jonah climbed up the tree's wall-wide trunk for twenty minutes (the diameter of the trunk could be seen from two thousand yards away, but when he walked under the tree, he found that there was no bend in the trunk as far as the eye could see, like an overwhelming wooden wall), and the bark was covered with knots, folds, and fissures, which made the climb easier, and with the help of the "floating" circle, Jonah climbed without much effort. But when a dark green spear fell from the sky and almost pierced him like a purple cabbage on a chicken skewer, the boy realized that nothing is smooth sailing in the world.

The spear grazed the boy's scalp and fell to the ground, and Jonah, who had escaped, finally confirmed the species of the tree,—— which was undoubtedly a pine needle that had fallen from a high place. "Be careful!" shouted Hannah fifty yards down, "be careful to avoid these pine needles, and there's a hole in the tree diagonally above you, and it's terrible if there's a big bug or something in there, and it's best to change course to avoid it!"

"Got it!" the astrologer replied, keeping his hands and feet on his hands and feet as he continued to climb upward. He didn't notice the lonely expression on Hannah's face, because his heart was condensed into a complex whirlpool of anxiety and joy, and Long Ji's words caused an uproar in the heart of the 17-year-old boy, and he only had one thing on his mind at this time: to leave this world and go to the world where Long Ji was. His soul was too full to accommodate a companion, and he didn't look at Hannah, just then and now, his eyes could only see the sky.

Hannah silently lowered her arm to relieve the pain in her right wrist. Holding a gun in her right hand to keep her guard and her left hand to climb, this action was very physically demanding, even if her body was trained in the endless sea of sand, it was the strange atmosphere between the two of them that made her even more tired. For the first time in her life, Hannah Stewart felt that she was a superfluous person, and she looked up at the corners of the astrologer's clothes fluttering in the wind, and a sad thought arose in her heart: what will change in this world? The sunny sea of yellow sand, but even his own sailboat has become someone else's belongings, which corner of the mainland is there still a hometown to go back to?

After the call with Ryuhime, Jonah decided to find a suitable location to open the space-time star array and open the passage to another world. Since it fell from the sky, the closer it was to the sky, the easier it was to return to the place where it came, right? With this simple thought in mind, the boy saw at a glance the tallest tree in the entire huge forest, the tall tower that stood in the dense vegetation and pointed to the sky,—— a large tree that was supposed to be a pine tree.

Ropes tie the two together, which was Hannah's idea, so that whoever stumbles and falls, the other can be the last resort. If it weren't for the insistence of the woman in red, Jonah would not have tied a hemp rope around his waist at all, and he was so desperate that he would like to step into the sky and fly to another woman through time and space. Along the way, he walked in such a hurry that he didn't even know that Hannah had shot away a few monsters, and after climbing the tree, he climbed all the way up, refusing to stop to let Hannah rest, he was a sensitive and understanding teenager, but at this point he forgot about the existence of people around him.

This awkward tour lasted a full two hours. As the altitude rises, the sky seems closer and closer, and although it is impossible to see where the sun is shining, the whole world is as bright as an afternoon in an endless sea of sand. From this vantage point, you can see many trees towering into the clouds, and the bodies of humans, elves, dwarves, giants, beasts, monsters, and creatures of unknown species are wrapped in sporangia and slowly rising, and the forest is like a pot of boiling hot water constantly bubbling up. The sprangite spheres suddenly vanished into thin air when they reached a certain height, and a space-time rift was above each spor-producing giant tree, holding up the finished product with magical energy and sending it into a space-time portal that led to nowhere.

"Soon, soon......" Jonah wiped the sweat from his forehead and grabbed a tree branch and gasped for air. "My idea is right, the time and space factors here are already unstable, it seems that opening the channel is not as difficult as I imagined, as long as the star array is slightly changed, so that the input part is more in line with the specifications of this world, and the output can be slightly more than compliant, after all, it is a one-time use...... Wait!" He suddenly looked nervous, took out his staff from his belt and held it tightly, closed his eyes to sense the existence of the starline, and after a few seconds, the young man's expression relaxed: "Whew, I'm scared to death, fortunately, the starline can be found here, the angle has not changed, the clarity is good, it seems that even if it is a different space, it also abides by the rules of the world......"

After a short break, he continued his ascent and spent twenty minutes climbing up the treetops. The foliage of this huge pine tree is so dense that you have to walk along the branches to the end of the pine branches, and stand on top of the trembling pine needles to see the scenery outside. The boy fearlessly stepped on the pine needles like a single-plank bridge, and Hannah worried behind him: "Go slower, be careful, if a gust of wind blows, you will be in trouble!"

"No, no, there's no wind here. Jonah walked to the end of the pine needles and greeted the clear sky with open arms. This is the commanding height of the whole world, with the green earth spreading out at his feet, and the clear sky overhead, he looks back and says happily: "The so-called wind is caused by the flow of air elements, and the air elements will migrate from places with high concentrations to places with low concentrations, which produces the winds of the continents. But the air elements of this world are equilibrium, and the concentrations are exactly the same, both below and here. The flow doesn't happen, there is no wind blowing, what a wonderful feeling, Hannah, when you close your eyes, you can't tell if you're standing on such a high place. ”

Hannah Stewart cautiously walked with a gun in his left hand: "That being said, it's a problem if there's a monster, such a big forest, maybe even a mosquito is the size of a bird." ”

Jonah shook his head, "Haven't you noticed yet? There is not a single living soul in this whole world, and those abandoned bodies are just shells that move instinctively, and they will die after a short time." We may be the only intelligent beings here, this place, no one has ever been to this place at all. ”

The contemporary head of Stewart's house walked up to a pine needle next to him and sat down with the big gun "Admiral" in his arms: "Okay, I'm here to watch, whatever you have to do, be careful." ”

Without hearing his partner's advice, Jonah had already begun to study the problem of the star array pattern, and he pulled out bottles and cans, protractors, papyrus, charcoal, and carving knife from his bag, and muttered: " That's right, the star array left by Mr. Gilberton on the back of the ghost Bahamas uses a very wonderful triple reverse helix, and now that I think about it, although it will lose 20% of the input energy, it can effectively tune the band of the power of the stars, and suddenly adjust the frequency spectrum to the band that is most suitable for communicating time and space, which is really a very ingenious design...... As for the star array left by the first mentor on the submarine ship 'San Gilberto', it can be seen that it is a work from a different period, and the structure is reduced to a terrible degree, and there is only one enlargement and one rectification to complete all the input parts, if you guess correctly, most of the lines are not simple curves, but are composed of several tiny Gilberto spirals, which can not only streamline the structure, but also improve efficiency......"

He writes and draws on paper, turns his ideas into graphics, throws used scratch paper behind him, and writes down the conclusions he has reached. In a windless world, papyrus painted with mystical patterns is quietly arranged on top of dark green pine needles, like a white snow falling on a green path at night.

Hannah sat next to her, quietly watching the astrologer do her job. Her gaze swept over the ends of Jonah's curly brown hair to the blue and turquoise skyline. The green eyes blinked, and the girl in red suddenly hummed softly, humming a desolate Western Continent minor tune. Jonah had never heard Hannah sing, but at this moment, he couldn't hear the distant singing voice, buried in the geometry.

It was the song that the last captain of "The Wind of Bactria" would have sung when he and seven sailors had drunk on a starlit night in the endless sandy sea.

"The winds that blow from the Red Plains, the rain clouds that drift across the hills of Yagu, the holy river, never stop in Zawi.

O woman who lit the candle for me, thou hast been blown and blown by the wind and blown to my side, why is the hut so dark tonight, have the rain clouds taken thee away. ”

In the myths and stories of the Zawi Empire, there is a beautiful woman who was blown into the farm by the wind and became a farmer's wife, and she would light a candle in the living room every day when it was dark to light the farmer's way home, "When I can't see the candlelight one day, it means that I am going back, and it will rain in the sky, and it will be the carriage that takes me home galloping among the clouds." The farmer did not believe it until he stumbled home drunk on a rainy night carrying his wife's favorite honey, and saw that the wooden house was dark and silent like a pasture. He never saw that beautiful woman again. In the days of growing old, the farmer realizes that he did not cherish that God-given partner at all,—— but what is the use of regretting?
