Chapter 89: The Tail of the Behemoth (Part II)

In the long dark night and endless trek, time became a meaningless thing, and many times Jonah had hallucinations before his eyes, and he saw a scorching bonfire burning not far ahead, on the fire was a squeaky pig and a burnt yellow pheasant with a tempting aroma, and a steaming pot of porridge was boiling next to it, and a big man wearing a small round hat stood up respectfully and greeted shyly: "Lord Astrologer, I have just prepared porridge, come and warm your body!"

"Toba." The astrologer's apprentice called out to his loyal servant knight, "But you're dead......"

"Yes!" the head of the room was taken aback, took off his small round hat and bowed deeply, "Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Astrologer, I completely forgot about it...... I can't serve you in my life, I'm sorry! I'm sorry ......."

The hallucinations vanished, and a tired Jonah was left empty at his feet, and Gollum tripped over a pit and fell to the ground. He struggled to his feet, lifted the Illumination of Syracina, and before he knew it, he had reached the tail of the behemoth, and the Illumination Array drove away the darkness within fifty yards, and after just one glance, he slapped his head in despair and sat down on the ground.

There was no road in front of him, and there were countless dense giant thorns standing in front of him, and there was no road between the thorns that could accommodate people, and from the morphological point of view, this should be the tail of the ghost Bahamas. Jonah didn't know what he was looking for along the way, and only moved himself forward with a faint hope, and now that faint hope as a firefly burst like a soap bubble, and the astrologer's apprentice relaxed to himself, unable to move a single step again.

The chill soaked through his body like mercury, "Is that all?" Jonah lay on his back on the uneven ground, his eyes confused as he stared at the starry sky. The starlight of the endless sea of sand was exceptionally bright, and the familiar Milky Way stretched across the sky, and his old friend "Bear", the 30th star of the first house, was shining in the northwest sky, "Oh, it's already midnight." Jonah muttered to himself. Judging by the position of the "bear", a new day has come, and he has been walking on the back of the giant beast all night.

For some reason, looking at the starry sky, Mr. Koshavoy's face suddenly appeared among the stars, the strange old man wearing a high pointed hat, his hair and beard were messy, and his small sparkling eyes were hidden between the wrinkles. "Your greatest strength is hard work, young man. The biggest disadvantage is that you have nothing but this advantage. Mr. Koshawar said indistinctly, throwing the workbook on the dining table, "There is no dinner today, go and redo the wrong exercises, and then come to my laboratory to find me." ”

Little Yona stood at the door of the dining room on the bottom floor of the astrology tower with an aggrieved face, "But, teacher, I can get the angle data of the starline without using the Albert equation, as long as the measurement is accurate enough......"

"You think you're smart, don't you?" said Koshava, chewing his food, raising an eyebrow, "Smarter than me, smarter than the old fellows of the Astrologer Society, smarter than the original mentor Gilbernayon?"

"No, no, I didn't ......" Jonah lowered his head and bit his lip.

"You can't see even the simplest things. "There may be many ways to solve the problem, but you only need one, the easiest, the quickest, and the easiest way to find the truth, just one! If all the ways seem to be useless, it means that you have not found the right way, and there is no solution without an answer, but the answer has not yet appeared, do you understand, young man?"

Little Jonah lowered his head and held back the tears in his eyes, "I don't understand, teacher ......"

The strange old man spat out a bone, grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth: "Forget it, go back to your exercises." You're going to grow up one day, and you're going to face all sorts of things, and then think about what I've said. ”

The astrologer's apprentice shuddered, and the figure of the mentor disappeared without a trace. Mr. Koshava, what would you do if you were by my side now, and faced with such a situation?, with a jumble of thoughts in his head, Jonah unconsciously opened the fawnskin bag and began to look for items that might help him. The same familiar object slipped through his stiff fingertips, "If all the ways seem to be useless, then you haven't found the right way......" Jonah read the teacher's teachings, "It's useless...... Useless...... Useless...... Wait a minute. ”

His fingers rested on a cold, smooth surface. It was a glass jar containing the ** girl, the winged green-haired girl, according to Danny's translation, a cursed moonlight elf. Deep in the Spine of the Hindworms, the Moonlight Elves automatically appeared, helping them unravel the last words of the Sand Pirate King. And now, trapped on the back of the ghost Bahamas, will he be able to get the help of this spirit in a bottle again?

Out of nowhere, Jonah rolled over and sat up, holding up the glass jar to look at it, the elf curled up in the bottle and quietly closed his eyes, not even changing his posture, making him wonder if his memories were hallucinations caused by poisonous mushrooms. "Whatever, try it......" The astrologer apprentice nodded secretly, reached out and grabbed the cap and twisted it gently, and the lid was released.

Jonah unconsciously flashed back, guarding against something strange, but nothing changed, and the girl in the bottle still had her eyes closed. He strangely dropped the cap and looked closer into the bottle, when suddenly a burst of green light dazzled his eyes, "Ah!" Jonah exclaimed, taking two steps back and rubbing his eyes, and a dazzling green streak appeared in the air, the moon elf had woken up, and was flying through the air at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.

"Hello, I'm D. Jonah II, an astrologer's apprentice. I...... I need your help. Jonah put his hand on his chest and performed a rather formal courtesy. Whether the moon elves are good or evil, the very existence of this magical magical creature is a miracle, the masterpiece of the creator and main god Shira.

The green light condensed in one point, and the moonlight elf hovered in the air, staring at the massive human on the opposite side with sapphire-like eyes, three pairs of wings vibrating silently behind them, and the snow-white complexion reflected the starlight, like a beautiful work of art.

"Hello, do you understand?" Jonah crouched down cautiously and made eye contact with the Moonlight Elf, "I don't speak any language other than the lingua franca of the Western Continent, are you—do you speak Elven?" this morning...... No, it's yesterday morning, I heard you speak, and I understand it, do you speak the lingua franca of the Western Continent?"

"Contract. ”

After a long silence, the elf finally spoke, her silver-bell-like voice ringing directly in the mind of the astrologer's apprentice. Jonah was stunned: "What did you say?"

“...... Contract!" the Moonlight Elf repeated as she circled in the air, looking a little annoyed.

"Oh, I know, a contract is some kind of instrument that stipulates that one party must serve the other for a certain period of time. Jonah wondered, "And then?"

"......" The elf flew around in annoyance, shaking Jonah's eyes, and with a bang, the moonlight elf appeared between Jonah's eyes, stretched out his fingers like spring onions, pointed to his delicate face, and pointed to the eyebrows of humans, and said viciously: "Sign the contract!"

The astrologer's apprentice suddenly realized. Of course, there is a similar plot in the knight novels I have read before, the knight signs a contract with a powerful guardian on the way to save the princess, and pays a certain price in exchange for the help of magical creatures, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to really happen in reality. Now, he seemed a little hesitant, because Mr. Koshawar had never mentioned the existence of such a wonderful creature, and there was no description of the moonlight elf in the "Geographical Estimation of the Western Continent", and the seal on the bottle cap still had the word "cursed" written on it.

The weak Jonah hesitated and didn't speak, and the elf of the anxious child flew around him, and the bright green trajectory wrapped around him like a silk thread, "Ouch!" Suddenly there was a pain in his head, Jonah reached out and touched it, but he didn't find anything abnormal, but he saw the angry moonlight elf stop in front of him, and as soon as he let go, four or five flaxen curls slowly fell.

"Sure enough, it's an evil elf......" Jonah was taken aback, and hurriedly crouched down to pick up the glass jar and cap, trying to find a way to seal her again. The unbearable moonlight elf flew into his ear, pulling the astrologer's apprentice's ear and shouting, "Stupid! I can only say twenty words a day!"

Jonah was shocked and staggered, but the moonlight elf turned into a green light and flew into the bottle, the cap automatically broke away from Jonah's palm and flew up, and the seal written in Elven language spun slowly. With a click, the cap and body of the bottle merged, the light went out, the moonlight elf was once again locked in the glass jar, and the green-haired girl fell into a deep sleep, looking like a delicate handicraft porcelain doll.

"Uh...... What did she just say, that she could only speak twenty words a day?Is this the curse she has received?" It took Jonah a long time to react. Is there such a strange curse in the world? It seems that it will be another day to ask her for details. Jonah smiled wryly and looked at the sky, the stars glowing coldly, did he have a day? How long could he support this behemoth with no food, no water, and no shelter?

At this time, the bright green trail left by the moonlight elf when it flew back to the glass jar began to fade, and the astrologer apprentice glanced at it, but his eyes froze. The ups and downs of the trajectory were clearly the terrain he had passed along the way—the shape of the back of the ghost Bahamas! At the end of the trajectory, a spiraling curve was drawn, which was clearly a hint of the terrain that the moonlight elf had left him.
