"How long do they live. "The astrologer's apprentice couldn't help asking,

Danny slowed down and walked in front of Jonah, "About 80 to 120 years for a standard sandeater, Chirp was only 6 years old when he was captured by my dad and built the three-masted sailboat, and she is only a little girl until now, giant sandeaters generally have a lifespan of about 300 years, and the 'Leiden sisters' who carry the racing star are 140 years old according to Lao Bei, and they are still very healthy." ”

"What about the males. Jonah remembered the little winged insects he had said about flying,

"3 days. Danny replied without thinking,

Jonah's eyes widened again,

"It's not strange, cargo friend, I said it's a feminist society. The male of the Stewart family, Gu Ying, sighed in self-pity, "You are lucky, you should be able to catch up with this year's mating season, the route of our trip happens to pass through the postworm node of the parade figure 8, you can visit the spectacular scene of the sandeater looking for a mate, the postworm is now located not far from the south side of the big sand waterfall." ”

Jonah's little head couldn't accept so many new terms at once, and shook his head in confusion, "Cruise 8 characters, back insect node, big sand waterfall." ”

"Go to the tavern and have a drink and talk. Danny stepped up the stairs with great interest, looking like he had lost too much conversation in his sister's cold gaze, and now he found a guy who didn't understand anything, and he could enjoy the happy time of chatting and farting,

Jonah stopped at a viewing platform, the oval porthole was the magnificent sunset over the endless sea of sand, the deep blue sun Quiavello was slowly sinking into the undulating sand dunes of the skyline, the cloudless orange-red light stained the desert into an abstract landscape of light and dark, and a dhow slowly sailed out of the horizon, full of sails in the gradually increasing wind.

The windless period passed, and the north wind blowing from the wide water on the other side of the holy river once again brought endless life to the desert, Jonah stretched out his finger and felt the strength and scorching heat of the north wind blowing into the porthole, and he stared in admiration at the magnificent sand sea that the Creator had given to the southern continent, which was completely different from the western continent, but there was no companion by his side to admire it, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings,

"Don't stop, cargo friend, the road is still very long. Danny shouted from above,

The astrologer's apprentice sighed and stepped up the steps,

The winding gangway took ten minutes to come to an end, and grasping the railing onto the creaking wooden deck, Jonah found himself at the bottom of the third deck of the Racing Star, with a long corridor around the deck behind him, and beyond the railing was a vast sea of sand, and the dhow was much closer, but even smaller because of the difference in height.

"The port side is much stronger, they have a steam golem-powered escalator, and Bei is an old ......antique who picks the door," Danny grumbled, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with the sleeves of his white robe, he had already exhausted his strength in the dry tornado, and the steep gangway was a big challenge for all three of them.

"The port side is where the rich stay. Hannah glanced at him expressionlessly,

"I didn't get the prize for this delivery...... Danny looked Jonah up and down maliciously, and a chill ran down the back of the astrologer's apprentice worth two gold coins, "Yo, sister, isn't that the little cutie sailboat of the Maximilian family." Danny suddenly shouted, squinting his eyes into the dazzling sunset, and he also spotted the little dhow,

Hannah approached the railing and glanced at it, and said coldly, "That's right, then." ”

"Nothing, let's go inside. Danny gave up trying to have a conversation, leading the way, and the third deck was dotted with the various departments of the sailing shipyard, and at every doorway, Jonah looked inward curiously, some rooms filled with the sound of smashing nails and the smell of wood, and in other rooms there was hot molten iron and blacksmiths clanging sledgehammers.

"How I didn't see the sailboat. Jonah asked,

"The sailboats under repair and construction are at Pier 3. Danny replied, looking at the other party who didn't seem to understand, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Two sandworms, the one on the left is Sister Layton on the port side, the right one is Sister Layton on the port side, the sister is Pier 1 on the left, and the sister is Pier 2 on the right, and there is Pier 3 hidden in the gap between the two big worms, and after a while, Lao Bei will drive the 'Wind of Bactria' into Pier 3 for maintenance, we can see it in the tavern." ”

"Oh. Jonah still didn't understand, but was too embarrassed to ask,

The three of them spiraled up from another gangway, the second deck was the residence of the sailors and repairmen, plus a few simple guest rooms, the group did not stop, and went directly to the first deck, the top deck of the port side of the racing star was empty, the supplies were scattered and tied to the deck with ropes, and among the scattered cargo, there was a tattered and leaky cabin, just one glance, Jonah felt close, this house was too similar to the dilapidated house of Daddy Cherry,

By this time it was already dark, there was no lighting on the port deck, the dim light of the cabin brought light to a radius of twenty yards, and the noisy laughter and scolding and the crisp sound of wine glasses could be heard from far away, Danny swallowed his saliva and quickened his pace: "I smell the smell of sparkling wine, sister, cold sparkling wine, do you feel it." ”

"All I hear is our purse bags groaning. Hannah gave her brother a merciless blow, "Today the cannon fired." ”

"50 silver coins. Danny screamed, suddenly withered, and muttered and dragged his feet: "They all said don't be angry, you have to rush into the dry tornado, and 50 silver coins will be lost in one shot, and the reward for delivery has not been received, so 50 silver coins will be lost first...... I don't know how much it will cost to repair the sailboat this time, in other words, how much money we owe Lao Bei, if ...... I'm just saying that if, if Lao Bei asks us for this astronomical amount of money, then can you consider marrying him to pay off the debt. ”

Jonah walked behind and didn't see what kind of look Hannah Stewart looked at his brother, but Danny changed his words smoothly, "...... I'm going to consider the possibility of marrying Edward Schmidt, that big diamond smashed into eight petals and just pick one piece is enough to pay off the debt......"

As he spoke, he walked to the hut, but the astrologer's apprentice suddenly stopped and said tremblingly, "Is this, has this house always been like this?" ”

"It's been like that since the year 2267 in the continental calendar. The boy of the Stewart family replied very elegantly, "I don't know what happened before. ”

Jonah did the math for a moment, "Isn't it 15 years ago, that is, when your father brought you to the Southern Continent, the Racing Star already existed, didn't you say that he only developed sailing skills since he came?" ”

The Stuart siblings glanced at each other, and Danny spread his hands: "You misunderstood, cargo friend, long before the thirty-three Zawi people crossed the river, the endless sand sea had a splendid civilization for a long time, and the construction of the racing star can be traced back to 80 years ago, of course, it was not called at that time." 'Racing Star', just the largest mobile building and the best hotel in the desert, after Lao Bei came here, he took half ownership from its original owner, opened a sailing shipyard, and built many famous clippers in the sand sea with the help of his father, from this time on, this big guy was renamed Racing Star, until now, it has not been fitted with sails, so you can think that it is not a boat, as for this tavern......"

Hannah stepped through the door and walked inside, "Be careful." Jonah shouted, reaching out and grabbing her cloak,

The bright red cloak rolled up the dust, and the astrologer's apprentice's eyes flickered, and the forehead once again came with a cold, hard touch, this time against the door of the head was not the sneering gun, but a small, white ivory petal-shaped red crystal made of white ivory more like a work of art than a murder weapon, the pistol was held in a chocolate-skinned, slender and powerful hand, the owner of the hand was staring at his prey with a pair of gray-green eyes containing murderous intent, as long as the fingers trembled slightly, he could harvest the life of the offender,

"Two gold coins, sister, don't be impulsive. Danny howled miserably,

Jonah's eyes couldn't see the muzzle of the gun because of the proximity, but the glowing thirteen red crystals caught his attention, each crystal stone was connected to each other by extremely thin threads of mythril, and the fire magical energy continued to move on the surface of the spear along the mysterious patterns carved by the mythril filaments, accumulating an astonishing amount of heat, this energy collection method is similar to the "scorching ray" The star array is very similar, the only difference from astrology is that the pistol does not mobilize the power of the stars, but squeezes heat from a hedron with abundant energy at the back of the gun.

"Wait, this kind of fire-based magic array is very interesting...... "The curiosity of knowledge overwhelmed the fear,,, in fact, for some reason, Jonah was not so afraid of Hannah Stewart's death threats, perhaps because he saw the shallow sympathy and banter in her cold eyes, and the astrologer's apprentice reached out and stroked the ruby on the body of the gun, "Wait a minute, don't move, oh, it turns out that this is a spiral compression, it really looks like a star array......" He gripped the barrel of the gun in Danny's glazed eyes, carefully observing the direction of the Mithril thread,

"You ......" Hannah surprisingly did not express anger in the face of his offense, she watched with some curiosity as the other party carefully studied her delicate magic pistol, spit out a word, and did not follow,

"Cargo friends, don't play, do you know how important you are. "You're a month's supply for the three-masted schooner, or two full nights of accommodation at the Starboard Racing Hotel...... The name of that spear is 'Summer White Sakura', a relic left to us by Dad, don't you know all of these, it is one of the three masterpieces of the magic weapon master Hefzbach, in addition to it, there are two other pieces are the shield 'Night Steel', and the ......"

The two parties ignored his desperate gaze, and stood in the dim light of the tavern, each with their own thoughts, and without saying a word, the door of the tavern was half a yard away from them, but half a yard away from them was a dark bottomless abyss,

They stood at the west end of the top deck on the port side, far away from the port deck, the east and west sides of the original racing star were separated from each other, only connected by several floating trestles in the bow and stern of the ship, and the two sandeaters were not essentially fixed together, but only relied on the tacit understanding of the twins to move forward side by side.

At the bottom of the deep gap between the east and west side buildings, in the inner gap of the two parallel large insects, is Lao Bei's pier 3, and this bizarre tavern, built on the abyss, is connected to the top deck of the port side by only a few supporting beams, and there is a four-foot gap from the edge of the deck to the crumbling threshold of the tavern, and looking down from the gap, you can see hundreds of yards far below, a few lights illuminating the hidden dock, rolling yellow sand, "the wind of Bactria" is slowly entering the berth, and behind it, there is a nimble dhow,
