Jonah struggled with the cable with the last of his strength as he shouted, "Hurry up, I'm going to be torn in half......"

"Boom. ”

A muffled sound came from overhead, the cannonball exploded at the top of the dry tornado, the filling inside the projectile turned into a brilliant firework, blowing away the rain clouds gathered on the tornado column, the shape of the whirlwind changed significantly, the sand pillar up to 4000 yards tilted outward, the peripheral wind instantly decreased, the pressure on Jonah's hand was light, and the mainmast immediately rebounded,

"8,7......" Hannah counted down at the bow of the ship, and Danny stood nervously behind the cannon, observing the movement of the tornado, "The tornado will swing back in about ten seconds, so be sure to get out on time." He shouted to his sister,

“2，1...... Disengage. Hannah Stewart bit her lip and turned the rudder sharply, the sand flow at the tail of the chirp changed direction, and the "winds of Bactria" began to fight against the inward pull of the dry tornado, struggling to survive like a moth trapped in a spider's web, "All sails 50 degrees backwards." ”

The elder brother crossed over to Jonah and quickly adjusted the sails, and now the speed of the three-masted galleon had been pushed to nearly 50 knots, and there was a violent roll due to the change of course, and the bucket, the tub, the cargo, and Jonah gurgled and rolled to starboard together, and the palms of the astrologer's apprentice were worn out, and when he accidentally let go of the cable, he fell into a ball with the debris, "Oops." "He hit his head on the railing, and reached out to grasp the side of the ship,

"Let's go. The sister roared anxiously, the sailboat trembled and creaked in the great attraction of the tornado, and several large wooden barrels filled with water on the port side were pulled up by the whirlwind, and disappeared in an instant into the whirlpool of yellow sand.

"The tornado swung back. Danny shouted in despair,

The pillar of sand, which was bent outward by the force of the explosion, began to rebound, like a giant's whip 4,000 yards long and 500 yards thick, pressing towards the top of his head with the infinite power of destroying the world, and at this moment, the three-masted galleon had a violent jolt, Jonah was knocked to the ground, lying flat on the deck panting, and suddenly he found that the deck had recovered its level, and it was no longer full of strong winds and suffocating yellow sand, he propped himself up and looked out, "The wind of Bactria" Like an arrow from a string shooting out of a dry tornado whirlpool, speeding at an astonishing speed in the endless sea of sand, the sand pillar that reaches the sky and the earth flies away, and the yellow sand spewed out from the tail of the chirp covers the sky and the sun.

"It worked. His eyes widened in disbelief,

"We really did it, sister. Danny jumped up excitedly and rushed towards his sister, opening his arms to give Hannah a hug, he was greeted by a boot print on his face, Hannah trampled his brother under his feet, gasping for breath quickly, his bronzed skin was red with excitement, beads of sweat and dust covered his forehead, but his gray-green eyes were full of pride, "Daddy, did you see, I did it......"

A smile appeared on the astrologer's apprentice's face, and he coughed, "Ahem, so, is it finally over, I now understand Danny, the desert dry tornado is really a nightmare......"

The elder brother lay on the ground, glanced at him with strange eyes, and shook his finger: "It's over, no, no, it's just the beginning, I said, there will be 15 to 20 groups of dry tornadoes this time, and the next thing to do is to catapult between tornado air masses, with the help of each tornado acceleration, so that you can maintain a high speed for a long time, otherwise once you break away, the speed will drop quickly." ”

Jonah was dumbfounded: "But you said the main mast is almost untenable......"

"I'll adjust the sail force, rest assured, cargo friend, we won't let the precious gift left by Dad be damaged, the gales of Bactria are the pride of the Stewart family. Danny confidently patted the deck, and with a click, a broken plank shattered in two, and Gollum fell into the cabin.

Hannah stretched out her hand and pointed ahead: "Second dry tornado, all sails 85 degrees, enter in 20 seconds." ”

"Understood. Danny jumped up and ran towards the cable, and Jonah covered his eyes helplessly,

If the challenge of the first tornado was one of the nightmares of an astrologer's apprentice, the next hour was twenty nightmares in a row, and Hannah sat down behind the rudder wearily, wiping the sweat and sand from her face, and muttered, "I will never forget this day." ”

"We should never forget this day. Danny lay on the deck with his hands and feet outstretched, looking at the sky, leaving the dry tornado area, and the sky immediately cleared, and the sunset over the desert area took on an orange-red hue, gilding the undulating sand dunes with brilliant outlines.

Jonah spat out a mouthful of sand and glanced at the broken schooner, "Your ship will not forget this day, and now, who will untie me?" ”

Jonah used up the last of his strength to help him in the third tornado, so he asked Danny Stewart to tie him back to the mainmast so that he wouldn't fall and break his head, and now looking around at the messy deck, the broken bow spinnaker, the loss of most of his supplies, and the exhausted brother and sister, the astrologer's apprentice was full of incomprehension, but now the priority was the painful feeling of the legendary seasickness,

When his brother cut the rope with a dagger, Jonah staggered two steps on the deck with a heavy head, held on to the side of the ship, and vomited happily, Danny patted him on the back understandingly: "Spit up all the contents of the stomach, and then drink a little hot soup, it will help, I remember the year when I first came to the Southern Continent, my sister held a small bucket all day and didn't dare to let go, and the vomiting ghost almost became her nickname......"

Hannah glanced at him coldly, "...... Until the sailors put this nickname on me. "It wasn't until a year later that we got used to sailing, and it wasn't easy. ”

Jonah raised his head, wiped his mouth, except for water and half a hard cake, there was really not much in his stomach to squirt, and sat on the ground, Jonah gasped and asked, "I have long wanted to ask, why do you have to rush into the dry tornado, the competition is really so heavy." ”

The brother and sister glanced at each other, and Jonah found that whenever he said something wrong, the Stuart brother and sister exchanged a helpless look, "Cargo friend, to survive in the endless sea of sand, the most important thing is to maintain the courage to challenge, only by constantly challenging, challenging the magical creation of the creator, challenging the enemy, challenging yourself, can you become stronger." Danny sat beside him, looked down at his bloody hands, and said,

"Why get stronger. The astrologer's apprentice asked feebly,

"Do you need a reason to be stronger? Danny puzzled, "The main god Luta is above, all creatures in this world are trying their best to become stronger, only by being strong, can they get more rights to live, have a broader vision, protect what needs to be guarded, and create the future of their own will, is this reason enough?" ”

Jonah was stunned,

Pitchfork's companions are unknown, and there is no news of them, the demons in him have not appeared for a long time, but there is a deep danger lurking, the prophecies of the betrayers come one after another, bringing disaster after disaster, he has no way of knowing what secrets are hidden in his parents, the Darkfire Mage Jeffta and the Priest Koshava, in this strange continent, he is alone and helpless, and all he can rely on is the name of the apprentice of the fourth-level astrologer, and the astrological abilities that are so weak that they are useless,

Why do people want to be strong,

If you are strong, you can protect your Pitchfork's companions, destroy the demons in your body, prevent disasters from happening, search for the truth of your memories, and hold your head high in the unknown world to welcome one storm after another, aren't these enough reasons?

Lying on his bed in a thin quilt for countless sad nights, he was deeply ashamed of his incompetence, and he asked the Lord God Sheila more than once, and asked the mysterious betrayer Segres why he had bestowed such a pale and powerless boy with a cruel fate, and of course, no one gave him an answer,

Now, on the three-masted galleon in the endless sea of sand, the son of the sand thief gave him the answer in his heart,

"I'm going to be stronger. Jonah, the astrologer's apprentice, clenched his fists and said,

"Of course, cargo friends. Danny smiled, "Keep challenging, keep getting stronger, this is a man's world." After peeking at his sister, he immediately changed his words: "...... This is the world of men and brave women. ”

Hannah slowly stood up, patted the sand on the red cloak, took off the big gun "Lame Henry's prosthesis", carefully cleaned the floating sand in the chamber and mechanism, "The Wind of Bactria" sailed at an astonishing speed of about 60 knots in the sea of sand, "Before the speed drops to 20 knots, the windless period will pass, and today due to the appearance of a dry tornado, the desert storm will not come, and a northeast wind of four to five will blow at night, which is very suitable for sailing." Danny observed the clouds on the horizon and reported his observations.

Hannah put the big gun on her back and fiddled with the compass: "It seems that the 'Racing Star' is nearby, and we need to overhaul the mast." ”

"And the sails, and the cables, and the deck, and the keel, and the steering gear, and the bow sail, and many more, sister. Danny said with a wry smile,

A small black dot appeared on the undulating skyline, and as the three-masted galleon moved quickly, the black dot grew larger, "Oh, what is that?" Jonah couldn't help but exclaim, a huge ship without sails appeared in view, the three-story rectangular deck was built on two side-by-side sandeaters, moving slowly at the speed of the sandeaters themselves, and the countless windows on the side of the ships ** warm lights, in the gradually dimming sky, like a brightly lit moving castle,

The closer you get to the ship, the smaller the "Winds of Bactria" becomes, and the chirping is incomparably smaller than the two sandeaters, like ants crawling under boulders, "This is the 'Racing Star', the famous mobile hotel and sailboat repair factory in the endless sand sea, Hannah, go to Pier 2, there are vacant seats." Danny pointed to the front right,

The three-masted galleon raised its sails, slowed down, and drew an arc towards the big ship, and Jonah found that there was a connecting dock on the side of each large worm under the large ship's seat, and the dock on the left was moored with two sailboats, and the dock on the right was empty, and a man in a black and white plaid costume stood there waving his flag,

"Hey, old Bei, it's me. Danny Stewart jumped on the bow of the ship and waved enthusiastically.

"Stewart, where is your beautiful and unsympathetic sister, I haven't seen her for a month, I miss her so much. The man who called Lao Bei laughed, took the rope that Danny had thrown, and tied it to the mooring pier.

Hannah poked her head out from behind her brother and glared at him, and Danny smiled wryly, "You see, it's just as distressing to meet a man with a normal sexual orientation." ”
