3.01 The steam machinery drove the wind out of the three channel holes, pushing the lame Henry airship forward high in the sky, the low and regular noise was drowsy, but Jonah was in high spirits, he sat on the deck, took a large sip of light sparkling wine from his glass, and squinted his eyes to feel the warmth of the sun.

"It's been a long time, and I don't dare to recognize each other, little Jonah. The white-haired old gentleman in a black dress and a red bow tie stood opposite him on crutches, with a kind smile on his bushy face.

The astrologer tried to stand up and salute, but his legs did not listen, "Thank you, Mr. Henry...... If you count the 'Lame Henry II' you gave me at that time, this is the second time you have saved my life. ”

"Just call me Captain. The old man smiled, "Don't be polite to me, that fellow in Koshawar is so lucky to have an heir like you." Leave time to you young people, and if you want to find me, I will read in the captain's room. ”

Lame Henry waved at the group and walked slowly to the bridge with a limp step. As soon as the captain walked away, the atmosphere on the deck suddenly became lively, "Have you been injured, cargo friend, look at you, you are covered in blood, and your clothes are still full of holes, what a good robe, it's silk, right?" "Brother, quickly take off your clothes and let me check your body, otherwise what if there is some secret injury that affects the inheritance?"

The two men spoke at the same time, and the chatter was so loud that Jonah's head was loud. Danny Stewart and Sibby stopped at the same time, glaring at each other viciously, sparks crackling in their for tat gaze. Hannah Stewart walked over and dragged her unruly brother away by Danny's collar, while the grasshopper obediently closed her mouth amid the smiling eyes of Long Ji.

"Eli, Dragon, how are you all doing? How did you get to the Southern Continent in Sibi, Hannah, Danny, how did you get on the airship?" exclaimed Jonah, delighting in his gulp. The Advent had disappeared from his body without warning a few minutes earlier, and it was a wonderful feeling to regain control of his body, and although his heart was still worried about the fate of his partner on the "Royal Star", the joy of reunion filled the 17-year-old's heart at this moment.

"Is that okay?" The Rose Knight gave Ryuki and Hannah inquiring glances, and after the two ladies agreed, the handsome blonde Knight began to explain the ins and outs of everything: "That's right, Lord Jonah. Miss Long Ji and I lost contact with you after arriving at the Cherington ferry port on the southern continent, and after many attempts to no avail, we received a message about the man and must leave for Tocharian immediately, so we can only leave for the task of delivering the message and set off on a sailboat. Our boat was slower, and it had been several days since we reached a town on the southern shore of the Endless Sand Sea, where we met Miss Hannah and Mr. Danny, and they were looking for you. We rode together in a steam carriage to Bactria, and as soon as we got off the carriage, we were greeted at the palace of Prince Harimaya, who relayed to us your movements in the Golden City, entertained us with great hospitality, and invited us to the Harimaya Castle for a banquet of Isaiba Inck the Great. ”

As Elliott spoke, the unicorn kept arching its head affectionately over Jonah's arm, making the boy giggle. While stroking the unicorn's snow-white mane, the astrologer asked, "But hasn't the little grasshopper been with you all this time?"

"Don't call me a grasshopper!" Sibi waved his little fist viciously.

The Rose Knight nodded, "Yes, Lord Jonah. At that great feast, we met the unexpected: Mr. Henry, the captain of the lame Henry, who was teaching Miss Sibby the basic table manners of the Southern Continent, and it was a miraculous encounter. At this time, we received new news that the man had immediately moved to the Vedic kingdom in the southeast, which was in line with the direction you were heading, and it happened that Mr. Henry had completed the mission of the royal family of St. Borun, and wanted to continue to travel the world, so we came to the Vedas together on the lame Henry. ”

"Little grasshopper, how did you meet Mr. Captain?" asked Jonah.

"Don't call me a grasshopper!" Sibby's little paws stretched out, simulating the movement of twisting his ears, "When we retreated from the Miracle Meadow to Cherry Crossing, Zavi's army had already attacked, and Daddy and Isaac Chios of the Storm Knight were in full swing, and then the Colombo people also gathered, and it was a mess! I don't know how many days I slept, but by the time I woke up, Cherry Ferry was in ruins, with no Zawi people, tenants, and natives gone, only corpses and smoking wreckage of houses. I was terrified, and looked at the faces of each corpse one by one, afraid that it was you, or Sister Ryuhime, or Eli...... It wasn't until I had seen thousands of corpses that I was relieved to know that you had crossed the Holy River and run to the Southern Continent. ”

"I'm sorry, Sibi ......" The astrologer bowed his head, and the rose knight and the oriental woman also showed unbearable expressions.

"What nonsense!" the little grasshopper laughed and scolded: "Knowing that you are safe and sound, I am too late to be happy! At this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the huge airship came down, and the lame old man came out and said with a sad face: 'It's really late!

"Be polite. Ryuji gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Alright. The captain and grandfather walked out, looking at the ruins with a depressed look. I immediately became happy, and ran over to ask him if he was the legendary lame Henry, and if the airship was coming to pick him up. He said yes, for an old friend of the royal family of Saint-Boren. I'll just say it's okay, the queen has already taken the ferry to the other side, and it's still too late for us to set off to the southern continent to chase after us. The captain and grandfather were very happy, and we got on the boat and crossed the holy river at full speed, who knew that the elusive natives appeared again, and threw a lot of flying spears when the airship took off, and broke the rear thrusters, so that we could only fly and repair at the same time, - I also helped a lot - we flew over the holy river for two and a half days to reach the southern continent, and the queen was still in Cherrington, but Sister Long Ji and Eli had already left, and you were nowhere to be seen, brother. We can only pick up the queen and go to the Golden City, the capital of Tochar. Sibi chattered and jumped excitedly: "I wanted to go out to find everyone as soon as I landed, but the captain and grandfather told me a very good news! I have been staying in that inexplicably big palace to study the materials, but you have also missed the old brother!"

The Rose Knight and Ryuki glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly. The little grasshopper didn't see their expressions, and grabbed Jonah's hand with emotion: "Do you know what the news is? Brother, the captain and grandfather said that as long as certain conditions are met, make a deal with the god of death, and the dead can be resurrected!

Sibby pinched Jonah's hand, but he didn't feel the pain for a while, and said dumbfounded, "Toba...... It is impossible, how can human beings be brought back from the dead? This is against the basic rules of the world!"

"Of course!" Sibi shouted, his green eyes shining frighteningly, "said the captain and grandfather, who has been wandering around the world for so many years, is very familiar with every legend. 'As long as the seven seals of the gods are gathered in one place, the soul of the deceased is summoned from the god of death, and the body is reshaped using the soil of the Santu River, the dead can be resurrected', this legend is spread in every corner of the continent, it should be true! That is to say, as long as we find the seven artifacts, we can make the uncle stand in front of us again!"

The astrologer said dumbfoundedly, "Oh yes, Jekong also said that collecting all the seven 'Dharma Phases' can regenerate the soul of Saru Aswati, and that is also talking about seven artifacts......"

Elliott mused, "We discussed this matter with Mr. Henry, and this legend exists in the cultures of all peoples, and its origins can be traced back thousands of years to the time when civilization was just mined. At this point, he shook his head again, "But that's unrealistic." Two of the seven Seals of the Gods are in the hands of the Anglican Church and the Magicians' Guild, one is in the possession of the vast empire of the Eastern Continent, and the rest have been lost in the long history, and it is said that the disappearance of the artifact is related to the original teacher of astrology, Lord Gilberto Gilberneon, but no one is sure ......"

"There is indeed a connection. For a moment, Jonah didn't know whether to tell him about the three artifacts he was carrying, because it sounded too shocking, and a moment earlier, the listener had just told him that the artifact was a necessity for the "ritual", and that he had no idea what the "ritual" was. "If there's a chance, we're going to go all out to find it!" he nodded, and stood up with all his strength.

"Of course, brother, for the sake of uncle!" cried Sibby.

"For the sake of the roommate, of course. Elliott tapped his breastplate.

"For Toba. Ryuhime whispered.

Holding hands in one place, the partners of Cherry Ferry are reunited at this moment, and although they have different goals, their souls are bound by a distant ideal. The 17-year-old boy looked at his familiar companion and his mood fluctuated. His gaze met with Ryuji, and the deep eyes of the oriental woman once again let him sink deeply, bang, bang, bang, the young heart began to beat faster, pumping hot blood onto his cheeks, Jonah had long forgotten this feeling of intoxication, and the original restless throbbing had been hidden deep in his heart, and only then did it surface.

"For the sake of the legendary Toba. Cargo friend, we have decided to follow you, this is our decision, the second option in Dad's will. Danny Stewart's hand came out of nowhere.

"Thank you, Danny......" Jonah smiled, pretending that he hadn't lost his temper to Ryuki. His eyes slipped past Danny, and ten yards away, a tall, emaciated figure stood on the side of the ship, silently looking at the white clouds flowing beneath the boat. Hannah Stewart never spoke to him, and she seemed to keep her distance from the young astrologer.

For some reason, Jonah looked at the slender figure wrapped in a red cloak, and his heart was beating chaotically again.

- What the hell is wrong with me?
