Chapter 149: The Journey of the Four (Part II)

"Wait a minute...... This evil aura ......" Jonah stopped.

There was only one carriage parked in the backyard, a rather tall carriage. Compared to the steam-powered carriage "Midnight Star", which was like a steel behemoth, this strange carriage with pure wooden structure, oriental arches and cornices, gold and green paintwork, and looked like a pavilion with four wheels under it, and at the back of the carriage was a wide platform, covered with a pile of gray linoleum cloth, and from a distance, Jonah felt an ominous smell emanating from the ground, a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but clench his staff.

"It's inevitable that the first time you see a guest, you'll be scared. The broker rubbed his hands and said, "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, hurry up and explain to all the distinguished guests." ”

The coachman Lao Wang's round face had two drunken flushes, and he spoke a bit of an accent in the lingua franca of the Western Continent, but he was quite fluent: "I am Wang Huaiqin, the twenty-eighth generation of the outer gate descendant of the Heavenly Master Dao, I couldn't learn it, I was driven out of the mountain gate, and I relied on the little ability left by my ancestor to make a living." I don't have any other skills, what I do best is refining this thing to pull the cart, with me, this beast can't turn over anything, you don't have to be afraid. My carriage is called 'Chuanding', and it is unique in the whole continent. As he spoke, he walked over and untied the rope and ripped off the linoleum cloth. On the platform is mounted a huge winch, which turns the gears through the vertical shaft and finally drives the two wheels behind. The power source of this "rickshaw" is a humanoid giant beast, a giant man twice as tall as Jonah sits on a platform, covered with black iron armor from top to bottom, his head, hands, and feet are shackled, and he is locked with iron chains as thick as children's arms, and his head is wrapped in iron chains and his facial features are invisible. As soon as he felt the daylight, the giant man's body began to squirm, and a low roar came out of his mouth, causing the iron locks on his body to rattle.

"Five-faced corpse!" Jonah exclaimed. In Suiyang City, the pitchfork team had a brief battle with the five-faced corpse, and this kind of monster that was not afraid of sword soldiers and infinite strength made him feel uneasy, who knew that it had become the engine of the carriage here.

The coachman, Lao Wang, looked at him in surprise, "The guest has insight, this is a five-sided corpse sewn from five corpses—nameless corpses legally bought from Yizhuang (a public institution where the corpses are parked)—tireless and powerful, and it is the most suitable for pulling the cart, as long as the guest does not go to the back compartment to provoke it." In addition, every day when the time comes, I have to cast a spell to inject the aura of heaven and earth into the spell, and at that time, everyone should just sleep and not watch, otherwise the anger of the living people will cause this thing to go crazy. ”

Jonah couldn't help but speak: "Is the Heavenly Master Dao a folk religion, why haven't I seen the temple of the Heavenly Master Dao along the way? Where do the believers usually operate? Who controls the five-faced corpse? I have seen a 'Swallowing Pill Five-Faced Corpse' refined from the corpse of a believer, it is really terrifying......

The coachman, Wang, glanced at him again, "That's impossible, guest." The method of controlling the five-faced corpse of Tun Dan was cut off as early as my ancestor's generation, and since the decline of the Heavenly Master's Dao, who would dare to appear on the street in a grand manner. ...... Please get on the bus. ”

The group got into the carriage one after another. The space in the carriage is quite spacious, with two couches facing each other, which can accommodate four people to sit comfortably and sleep, Jonah and Long Shenlu sit in the front position, and the man in black and the magician sit opposite. "Everyone, have a good trip, if you have a fate, you will see you again!" the broker Lao Zhao waved his hand enthusiastically. The coachman Lao Wang sat on the seat on the roof of the car, waved the whip with his right hand and made a crisp sound, and pinched the trick with his left hand and recited the mantra: "Go to the city of Sang! It's not early today, the target is Nanyi Yiyi, which is one hundred and fifty miles away...... Walking!" the five-sided corpse muttered as he turned the winch, the shaft creaking, the cork-wrapped wheels pushing the ground, and the carriage began to move slowly. As the five-faced corpse turned the winch again and again, the speed of the car quickly accelerated, rushed out of the alley, turned onto the post road, and the wheels rotated smoothly on the smooth post road, leaving Nan Eryi behind in the blink of an eye.

The four of them each occupied the corner of the carriage, their eyes bumping into each other in the air, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. The man in black seemed to be quite wary of the magician, sitting far away, and from time to time throwing a look to Jonah that he couldn't read; the fifth-level fire magician was half-lying on the couch with a big grin, with his staff on his pillow, looking at this, looking at that, and he didn't know what he was talking to himself; Long Shenlu held the famous sword "gluttony" and shrunk vigilantly into a ball without speaking, and the astrologer lowered his head and thought about this strange journey, thinking about things in a mess.

If you want to find a chance to be alone with the man in black, how can you secretly make an appointment with him after everyone is asleep? And the magician is not hostile to himself, has he not discovered his identity, or is he not a member of the Brotherhood, or is he pretending to be harmless but quietly waiting for the opportunity to make a move? One of the fire magicians that Jonah is most impressed by is Menakmakher, the head of the Zavi Empire's Golden Hammer Legion Battle Spellcasting Team and the great magician of the fire type, who encountered in Cherry Ferry on the Western Continent, if it were not for the "Dark Fire" at that time Jeffta came to the rescue, and the scaled Pitchfork squad was almost wiped out by the strong man with a single blow. But now, unlike in the past, there is one thing in the deerskin bag that conveys faith to Jonah, and that is the Fire Astrologer Badge of Level 5 issued by the Astrologer Guild. Yes, I'm also a level 5 astrologer now, if I have to fight...... Only believe in yourself!

Jonah stared at the magician, clutching the staff of Siracina. Unexpectedly, the magician took the initiative to speak: "What's your name, kid? ”

"Oh, me?" the 17-year-old pointed to the tip of his nose in a panic, he didn't think to give himself a fake name at all, and then he was confused, "I, my name is...... I'm Assai, sir, the son of a farmer from the Western Continent, and I want to go to Pingyin City to find relatives. ”

Xiaolong replied simply: "I am Lu Zishuo, a member of the Lu family in Pingyin. "Jonah knows that the Lu family is the puppet of the Long family, a relatively powerless family among the seventeen families in the East, this identity is neither noticeable nor easy to be underestimated, it is a very appropriate disguise.

The magician's stiff black face squeezed out a hint of laughter: "Oh, Assai, what's that name...... A Westerner, an Oriental, two people go to find a relative together? What is the name of the relative? He is very rich when he is young, and he is a mage with a magic staff? What is the swordsman holding a sword? How many levels?"

“...... It's just an ordinary cane, and I'm ...... An accountant. Jonah replied quickly.

"I'm a sword sharpener. Long Shenlu replied fluently.

"Accountant and sword sharpener. Hum. The fire mage stretched out his right hand as if he wanted to shake hands with the two teenagers, but as if he remembered something, he quickly retracted his hand, "I am a fifth-level archmage certified by the association, you can call me Master Basda! In addition, I am also the senior deacon of the Brotherhood, do you know the Brotherhood? I don't know, yes, it doesn't matter, it won't be long before everyone knows the name of the Red Owl Brotherhood." He looked triumphantly.

The eyes of the man in black immediately condensed like the tip of a needle, and the temperature in the carriage dropped several degrees in an instant, and Jonah hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We know, Master Basda......!

"Of course you have to take care of me, the Magician Association is in Pingyin City, who will take care of you if I don't take care of you?" Master Basta shook his head at the two teenagers, "You have to study more when you go out, learn more from strong people like me, one day, you can go on the right path and become useful talents to the world...... It's not easy to be a magician, in addition to natural sensitivity and control, you also have to have a smart mind, a broad mind, noble qualities, and excellent mathematical ability, without any of them, you can't rise to the height of a great magician......

Long Shenlu sighed quietly, holding his sword and twisting his head out the window. Jonah smiled wryly and said a few words, sweating profusely. "I'm going to rest. At this time, the man in black finally opened his mouth to help them ask for a stalemate, leaned on the carriage with his arms crossed, and said coldly.

"Cut, boring. Master Basta took a sip and threw his head on the soft couch, and in less than half a minute he was the first to snore.

At this time, Jonah suddenly felt as if his body was about to leave his body, "...... Listen!" he whispered in surprise, relaxing. The surroundings quickly dimmed, and the world became a hazy shadow, and four flames of different colors gradually lit up, which were the souls of the other three passengers and the coachman. Jonah felt something noteworthy about it, but the listener's voice interrupted his momentary confusion: "Jonah. ”

"Miss Rose, is that you?" the 17-year-old let out a vibration of his soul excitedly.

"I am the listener. The same emotionless soul ripple, but it was clearly not Ross-Ross's voice, "There are too many distractions, the communication is short, don't ask questions, listen carefully." ”

"Where is Miss Ross, who are you?" said Jonah in astonishment.

The listener ignored his inquiry, "Great changes are happening, everything in the prophecy book will be accelerated, and what is happening to you will speed everything up." Jonah, you will be in great danger, the ghost's left hand is already fully activated, but it is unable to confront the enemy head-on. The protector is about to arrive at you, and more importantly, recognize the direction in which you are going, and the only one who can help you is yourself. Good luck, heir to the precious Seglas bloodline. Goodbye. ”

"Wait, I haven't ...... yet," Jonah called anxiously, and the surroundings had turned bright, and the communication was over. It was the shortest session of the session, and the new listener didn't convey any clear message at all, which only made the astrologer even more confused.

The world is back to its original state. The magician's snoring stopped, and he lifted his eyelids to look at Jonah, and fell back asleep.
