"Mr. Odida. Elliott saw the employer in the crowd on the riverbank and shouted, "Our mission is accomplished, please ...... the ticket."

The sky suddenly brightened, and Jonah looked up to see a meteor piercing the sky and landing, "Be careful. Ryuki shouted hurriedly, and the Centurion of Bones grabbed Jonah's collar with one hand and ducked to the side.

"Boom. ”

The meteor hit the ground, erupting in a rain of fire mixed with dirt and flesh, the astrologer apprentice was crushed under the hard white bones, almost suffocated by the smoke, a fiery red shadow slowly descended, a magic robe embroidered with intricate magic patterns, a guild emblem of a golden pentagram surrounded by five red beads, and a pair of gloomy eyes on top of a black beard,

"I remember you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been hurt by the magic backlash, and I'm going to make you pay back this shame. "The fifth-level great magician Menakmakher held his head proudly, opened his hands, and let out a low chant, and the tiny red particles were inspired by the fire magician to gather between his hands like a swarm, and the powerful tracking magic "Red Sun Glow" was about to reappear,

Long Ji's fingers flicked up the purple line, the skeleton centurion rushed towards the conceited magician with a bone blade in his hand, the sharp blade slashed at the phantom around Menakmach's body, making a strange sound of gold and iron, and the high-level magic robe activated the defensive circle with all its strength, isolating the attack of the white bone half a yard away, and the great magician had a mocking smile on his face,

Elliott stepped out of the smoke and dust, and charged with all his might, stabbing his enemy in the chest with a whistling cavalry, but he was deflected by the stabbing of the defensive circle, the rose knight and the archmage passed by, Menacmacher took two steps back from the strong impact, the circle never broke, and the chanting never stopped,

Jonah struggled to his feet, his hands clenched around his staff and he was about to shoot a scorching ray, the guidance of the "Red Sun" was completed, the archmage opened his arms, and red particles filled the space, "Tremble...... Let's pierce it...... Burn it...... Hahahaha...... "The leader of the Battle Spellcaster let out a wild laugh,

At this moment, a dark fireball shot out of nowhere, with a purple demonic tail flame, appeared in front of Menakmakher in the blink of an eye, and all the particles of the red sun that it touched were absorbed, assimilated, and eliminated in the air, and the great magician's face changed color: "It's you again." ”

In the next moment, the red sun indiscriminately covered the space of fifty yards due to the loss of control, Elliott hurried to Jonah's side, raised his shield aloft, and protected himself, Jonah, Ryuki, and Sibi underneath, the tiny explosion sounded like raindrops, but Jonah felt the unusual explosion power of the red particles from the muffled snort of the rose knight, and a monstrous cloud of smoke and dust erupted all around, and every inch of dirt was tumbling and burning, and the ferry was plunged into a sea of explosive fire,

Everything was blurred by the smoke and dust, the astrologer apprentice felt light, Elliot and the dragon queen were once again engaged in battle, and in the haze there were a large number of figures pouring into the ferry, shouting, moaning, sword clashing filled his ears, Jonah didn't know what was happening, he coughed violently, and supported his body with his staff, "Eli, dragon queen." ”

He shouted hard, and found that his voice was so weak,

A Blue Commander soldier rushed out of the smoke and raised his sword, Jonah gritted his teeth, and the scorching rays pierced through the enemy's chest, "Long Ji, Eli." He shouted again, but there was no response, and he could faintly hear Chope's voice coming intermittently somewhere: "You're not human, you're ...... Impossible, your swordsmanship...... I see, but how could you ......"

He stumbled in one direction, and suddenly his feet went limp, and a corpse tripped Jonah to the ground, and he groaned and propped himself up, and found that the smoke and dust close to the ground were not so strong, and before he knew it, he came to the front of the ferry, and the boat came out with thick white smoke, and blew the trombone, as if it was about to set sail,

Two dragoons came from different directions, the long lance tore through the smoke, Jonah used the last strength to wield his staff and send out a scorching ray, but he lost his head and passed far past the ears of the cavalry, enough is enough, is it like this, that's it, what a hell prophecy, I'm too tired and need a break...... The astrologer's apprentice's arm was torn apart, he was tired from the constant loss of blood, and the bruise on his head from the heavy landing was eating away at what little consciousness he had left......

The familiar black fireball descended again, piercing the belly of the first cavalry along with the earth-walking dragon, striking the shield of the second cavalryman, quickly reducing the enemy's shield and arms to dry ashes, and a man in a black robe and hooded with a difficult face stepped on the dragoons who were wailing loudly, and walked towards Jonah,

"Jeffta...... "Jonah muttered,

Jeffta, the fallen Darkfire Mage, approached him, crouched down, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "You look like your father when you are young, but your eyes are exactly the same as those of Jove. ”

"Sure enough, are those memories real......" The astrologer's apprentice looked feebly at his father's close companion, "...... Why are you saving me. ”

"It's fate. The Darkfire Mage slowly removed his hood, revealing an extremely terrifying face, his face completely melted like paraffin, his flesh flowing downward, and his nostrils, mouth, and blue eyes without eyelids were exposed through the cracks, "Your mother is right, Darkfire is a cursed spell, I have paid the price I deserve, I have endured great pain day and night, and the only way to put the pain to rest is this, only this way...... Help you, help the blood of the betrayer,"

Jonah's sanity was momentarily awake from the shock, and he propped himself up, "Your face...... Why, what betrayer's blood, I don't understand ......"

Jefta shook his head and stretched out his right hand, the skin on the back of his hand also melted, the whole hand looked like a candle that had been burned out and re-condensed, he grabbed Jonah's hand and placed something in the palm of the astrologer's apprentice hand, "This is my meeting gift, it's a pity that after the first meeting, I didn't find a chance to communicate with you, one day, you will understand everything, I hope we will have a chance to meet again,...... Jove's child with Joshua. ”

Ignoring Jonah's confusion, Jeffta helped him up and pushed him in the direction of the ferry, where Zawi's soldiers appeared from all directions, "The queen is on the boat." "An officer shouted, and the Blue Commander and Dragoons roared and rushed to the ferry," Jeffta. Jonah turned his head and shouted as the Darkfire Mage reached out in the gray mist and made a "goodbye" gesture, and the whistle rang out, and the invincible black fireball fell into the enemy formation, and the bewitching purple tail flame illuminated the smoke and dust,

The helpless astrologer's apprentice, like a soulless puppet, walked down the slipway to the huge ferry, and the moment he stepped on the gangplank, a strong sailor grabbed him by the arm and pulled him onto the ship: "Can't wait any longer, captain, we must set sail now." ”

"Where's your ticket, Your Excellency. The old captain in the nautical hat appeared in front of him, staring at the scarred boy with some hesitation, and Jonah involuntarily spread his palm, and lying in the palm of his right hand was a shiny silver button, the unimitateable Mithril ticket that Daddy had prepared for the cherry ferry ship.

"Please get into the lower cabin, we're set sail. The captain instructed the sailor to bring the last guest into the cabin, and then shouted to the engine room: "Is the oars sufficient?" ”

"Eighty percent of the paddle power is prepared, Your Excellency, Captain. The three pairs of power replied loudly,

"Rudder ready. ”

"Helm ready, Your Excellency. The helmsman immediately replied,

"The left rudder is full, the propeller power is 40 percent, and the anchor is lifted. The old captain turned and stood at the bow of the boat, facing the cold river breeze, and pressed his hand on the nautical cap.

"Full rudder left, forty percent of the oars, anchor. "The first mate repeats the captain's order,

The ferry made a buzzing sound and spewed steam, the oars broke through the water driven by the steam puppet machinery, pushing the boat slowly away from the dock, the iron anchor was raised, the rudder was deflected, the trumpeter sounded the loud sailing horn, and the ferry to the southern continent left the shore and entered the boundless water on the other side of the holy river.

Jonah walked up the stairs into the second-floor guest cabin, a living room fifteen yards square with a few high-class tenants he didn't know, and at the end of the hallway were more than a dozen rooms with locked doors, "Eli, Long Ji." The astrologer's apprentice staggered to the rooms, calling out his companion's name, and as he passed the porthole, he couldn't help but stop and look at the riverbank, which was slowly moving away.

"On October 29, the flames fell, and the river was defiled......" Jonah suddenly found that the first few words of the prophecy had been fulfilled, but "the river was defiled" did not happen, and after only a few seconds of thought, his face turned pale, and he turned around, ran up the stairs under the surprised eyes of the senior tenant, and rushed to the old captain: "Mr. Captain, no, you can't sail now." ”

"Your Excellency, please return to the cabin. The captain took out the pipe from his mouth and said disapprehantly, "As the only captain of the Cherry Ferry in fifteen years, I don't need you to question my decision. ”

"Colem, Colombo, today, no, can't ......" Jonah didn't know how to express his inner urgency in words, waving his arms anxiously,

"Today is April 27th, the day of the Colombo Spring Hunting Festival, the time when the Cherry Ferry sets sail in the spring every year, although this may be the last ferry to Cherry Ferry......" The old captain's eyes met the fire of Cherry Ferry, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes,

"No, Mr. Captain, it was noon when the ship was scheduled to leave, but today is different, it is now more than three hours after midnight, and the sky has not yet dawned, as mentioned in the "Geographical Measurement of the Western Continent", the Colombo people's day begins when the sun rises, that is, in the eyes of the Colombo people, it is still the middle of the night on April 26......" Jonah finally said the sentence completely, and then sat down on the deck weakly, tears of despair overflowing from the corners of his eyes,

The captain's expression froze,

This sad prophecy...... Do you really want to be the only witness yourself, the astrologer apprentice clenched his fists,

The shouts of killing on the shore suddenly subsided, and then there were countless wails of terror, "It's Colombo." ”

The black-pressed barbarians appeared on the banks of the holy river, and each of them was a strong spear-thrower, and at this moment, the Colombo-people, attracted by the anger of the defiled holy river, were tying ropes to their spears, so that they could withdraw their weapons after throwing them, and not fall into the holy river.

"Full power, full left rudder. The captain shouted hastily, and without his command, the helmsman and engine room were doing their best to steer the ferry into the middle of the wide holy river, but in the eyes of the furious Colombo, the ship was clumsy like a boar struggling in a trap,

The patriarch of the barbarians gave the order in an incomprehensible language, the Colombo people raised their throwing guns, and in the next moment, countless black spots like flying locusts obscured the starry sky, Jonah closed his eyes in despair, and the Zawi soldiers on the shore stopped fighting with the remaining tenants and began to attack the Colombo tribes spontaneously, because they knew that after destroying the ferry, the angry barbarians would vent their anger on them and take the initiative to attack, bringing the only chance of survival,

"Defend the circle. The captain's voice was almost bloodshot, the magician sitting in the center of the ferry drove the defensive circle, and three layers of bright yellow membranes rose around the entire boat, and the magic array completed by many magicians and spread throughout the ferry provided a triple gold defensive shell, which was the biggest reliance of the entire ship when crossing the other side of the holy river,

The first wave of throwing spears shattered on the defensive magic, and the powerful impact caused the deck to tilt significantly, and Jonah involuntarily rolled backwards, his head touching the mast, and finally broke his remaining will, "Ryuki, Eli, Sibby, Jekong,...... Jeff Tower...... Toba ......"

The astrologer's apprentice muttered his partner's name and fell into the deepest coma, (Book 1 Overture: The End of the Dawn of Troubled Times)
