Chapter 57: The Light of Dawn I

The light of the torches faded, Hannah stood up, and added animal fat to the three torches in turn, and Jonah watched in a daze as the red-cloaked woman walked past him, and found himself asleep on the cold stone lawn, covered with a warm blanket and an arm on it, and the owner of the arm, of course, was Danny Stewart, the dishonest fellow who slept with his hands and feet spread out and snoring, without the alarm of a "responsible man".

As the Tantuha guide curled up beside the rock wall, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or praying, Jonah propped himself up, rubbed his eyes, and whispered, "What time is it?" ”

"You're awake. Hannah put the oil pot in her rucksack, walked over to him and sat down, holding the big gun "Lame Henry's prosthetic" in her arms: "There is still about an hour before dawn, let's sleep a little longer." ”

"You didn't sleep all night. Looking at the tiredness on the face of the head of the Stewart family, Jonah suddenly felt a little ashamed, "Go and get some rest, I'll be in charge of guarding and waking you up at dawn." ”

Hannah Stewart shook her head: "No need, I'm not tired yet, in fact, I always feel like I'm being followed along the way, my brother is right, there are enemies watching us, I need to be vigilant." ”

The astrologer's apprentice was startled, and immediately drove away the sleepiness, he grabbed the staff of Silafina with his right hand, and the handle of the magic pistol with his left hand, his eyes scanned the quiet color: "Where, where." ”

Hannah chuckled, "Don't be too nervous, if my brother and I can't catch the tracker's shadow, it means they're not around, at least, not on this stone flat." ”

"Who will follow you, enemy. Jonah looked up to see if there was really an enemy lurking on the ridge overhead, and he was a little excited to try his new attack array that he had never used in actual combat.

"I don't know, the Stewart family has a lot of enemies, but I've never encountered anyone who sneaks up in this way. Hannah didn't seem to have a clue, she looked down and fiddled with the valve on the spear, checked the magic crystal balance in the steam golem mechanical center, pulled the bolt, and made an aiming motion, "But I'm not afraid, the Stewarts are never afraid of the challenge of the enemy, in the dictionary of the king of sand thieves, there is only death, no defeat." She tilted her head and stared at Jonah with unwavering gray-green eyes, her long golden eyelashes glistening in the firelight,

Jonah stared at the silhouette of the blonde woman in the light of the torch, and felt a little stupid, "Ahem...... he coughed to cover his gaffe, and said without saying anything, "By the way, that ...... The Tantuha guide, she didn't have any questions, she always felt that there was something strange about her behavior. ”

"Don't think too much about it, the natives are somewhat different from us, and of course, I'll be wary of that. Hannah shifted the subject: "Tell me your story, you've been on the three-masted for some days, and I don't know you at all." ”

"Me. The astrologer apprentice was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the tip of his nose: "My story, I don't have any stories to tell......"

"Say, everybody has a story. Hannah stretched, curled up, clutched the spear tightly, pressed her cheek to the steel barrel and looked at Jonah,

“...... Well, when did it start, you know, I was an astrologer apprentice, and since I was a child, I lived in the tower of astrology in the laterite plains of St. Boren, learning from my teacher Coshavoy, and then the war began......" As he spoke, Jonah himself fell into his memories, and the images of the past flashed one by one,

"I left the Tower of Astrology and came to Cherry Ferry to meet the most important companions of my life. ”

Dressed in green, the archer Sibi with bright wheat-colored short hair is a half-elf with superb swordsmanship, and he is also the one who teaches him the rules of survival of Cherry Crossing, Cherry Ferry is a strange place, the owner here is called Daddy, and he is a powerful person who has the ability to protect the entire town from intrusion in the chaotic Western Continent, Cherry Ferry has hundreds of rooms, and the guests who pay the fee to live in the guest rooms are protected by Daddy, and the guests who live in the same room naturally become the companions of the team,

In order to pay the rent before the rent payment date, there were constant battles between the teams, and he lived in room A51, and his companions were friendly people, and the strong man who waved his fists to knock the enemy into the air was called Toba, a strong and shy mountain man who had left his homeland and used to grow mushrooms for a living. And with a serrated knife, but the brain is not very good, always looking at the distance in a daze The red-haired man called Yakong, who came from the Buddha Kingdom of the Southern Continent to hold the sword, the black-haired woman from the far east, her name is Long Ji, she and the blonde knight Elliot riding a unicorn are companions, and they travel the world together in search of a certain man.

"And then, and then we got to know each other. ”

After a number of missions, the ship of Cherry Ferry to the southern continent is about to set sail, and their team must complete a mission in exchange for a ticket, at that time the Zavi Empire has defeated the last great power in the Western Continent, Bazelar, the new Queen retreats from the royal city, and with the fugitive Queen St. Bouren, along the narrow mountain path towards Cherry Crossing, the last task is to intercept the pursuers of the Zavi Empire until the two Queen Majesties reach Cherry Ferry safely, this sounds like a joke, the entire Western Continent is moaning under Zawi's iron horse, only six people, but to launch an ambush against the invincible Zawi cavalry, It is said that the highest combat power of the Zavi Empire, one of the only four Storm Knights on the continent, and the legion commander Isaacchios are also in pursuit,

"Later, then we completed the task, but at such a heavy cost......"

A catastrophe, Isaacchios, the Storm Knight, appeared, Toba sacrificed himself, and when the enemy army dispersed and found his body, Sibi collapsed, and she kept talking to the horrific corpse until she was exhausted, and slept in Toba's cold arms, and after cremating the venerable warrior, the companions returned to Cherry Crossing, which was already a sea of fire, and the last battle was not over, every collision between Daddy and Isaacchios caused a violent explosion, and the cavalry and tenants around them died innocently, and no one dared to approach the axis of the storm,

Finally, at the moment of boarding, the earth shook, and the barbarians all over the mountains roared and rushed to the cherry crossing, and countless sharp spears covered every inch of the burning land of the cherry ferry like raindrops, and the spring hunting festival ended early, and the cherry ferry of the ferry was sent out in advance because of the Zawi cavalry, which was destroyed by Zawi's ambition and the anger of the barbarians,

"In this way, I came to the Southern Continent, and because of a mysterious client, you were transported to the hell Namoza City as a cargo,...... That's my story. ”

Spit out the last word, Jonah wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head to look at the sky, didn't want Hannah to see his vulnerability, no one spoke, the torch blew and blew sparks, the grease dripped on the ground, the wind blew the hem of the red cloak, the contemporary head of Stuart let out a long breath, Jonah realized that Hannah had fallen asleep at some point, and her little face leaning on the barrel of the gun looked quiet and serene, making it difficult to imagine that such a girl who had just grown up would always carry the history and glory of a mysterious family,

A ray of light stung Jonah's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the eastern skyline, the sun had not yet risen, but the sunlight reflected by the clouds had begun to illuminate the vast endless sea of sand, and the first ray of light of Matraktili was sprinkled in the center of the small stone lawn.

"Come on, the sun is out. The astrologer's apprentice jumped up and shouted,

Hannah almost immediately stood beside him, as if he had never fallen asleep, and Danny slowly sat up and yawned, "It's dawn, liar...... It's still dark, and the sky is full of stars......"

The Tantuha guide also opened his eyes and watched their movements curiously,

"It's now, and if it's too late, you'll miss the opportunity. Jonah hurried to the east side of the waterhole, crouched down beside the knife stuck in the ground, suddenly remembered something, and asked hurriedly: "I forgot one thing, Hannah, do you have any gems such as colorless and transparent crystal or agate, preferably cut polyhedra." ”

"Gems, gems. Danny, who had not yet woken up, reacted strongly when he heard this word,

Hannah looked a little overwhelmed: "There were a lot of them when my father was alive, and in the past few years, all of them have been sold...... I don't think there's ......."

"So what to do, damn it. Jonah thumped his head in frustration, "I forgot the key step, I knew that grinding a lens from quartz stone could make do with it, but it's definitely too late now." ”

"Oh yes. Hannah was stunned for a moment, and slowly unbuckled the clasp of the cloak, revealing a slender neck, "This is given to me by the second uncle before his death shortly after my father's death, and I have always carried it on my body as a souvenir for my father, is it the crystal stone you said." ”

"What, the second mate gave you a souvenir, why I don't know at all. Danny jumped up like a thorn in his buttocks, "Is it a gem, I'll take a look, I'll see." ”

People's eyes focused on Hannah's palm, she held a thin red rope in her palm, and at the end of the rope was tied a crystal clear pear-shaped crystal, although it was not as dazzling as a diamond, but the white crystal shone with a unique clear luster.

"Wait......" Danny stretched out his finger and pointed to the gem, stammering a little, "This, isn't this the white crystal on the 'Blood Storm', why is it here for you." ”

"I don't care about discussing it, I'll talk about it later. Jonah ran over in a hurry, snatched the crystal and rushed to the knife that was stuck in the ground, and suddenly turned around and took out the "Summer White Sakura" and threw it at Danny Stewart: "Catch." ”

"Don't throw it away, if you break it, Hannah won't eat us both raw. Danny was shocked, and a fish leap held the magic pistol firmly in his arms, and squatted on the ground for a while.
