In the afternoon Hannah came in again, brought bandages and potions, and bandaged the wound on the palm of Jonah's hand, and her own forehead was also bandaged, and the place where the bow of the ship worth 60 silver was like a bruise, but fortunately there was no more blood oozing,

Hannah grabbed Jonah's hand and wiped the stain from the wound with a cotton swab dipped in the red potion, "Oops. The sudden pain made Jonah shiver and scream,

Hannah looked at him with a little curiosity, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It hurts, no, it's okay...... It's just a little painful. The astrologer's apprentice replied weakly, trying to maintain the dignity of manhood,

Hannah's knife-like lip line rises in an upward arc,

The smell of the woman made Jonah feel a little dizzy, and he secretly shrank back, for some reason, Danny Stewart, Jonah himself, and all the desert men in the Racing Star Tavern smelled like an unpleasant mixture of yellow sand, tobacco, alcohol, leather goods, and sweat, only Hannah's side was shrouded in a faint fragrance, Jonah didn't know if there was a nice perfume or sachet hidden in her red cloak, but she felt that this smell was like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day,

Hannah's fingers were slender and soft, with the characteristic heat of a desert woman, Jonah lowered his head and covered his hot cheeks with his hair, the pain in his palm stretched the time scale, the sun was quiet, and a leisurely hot wind blew in outside the hatch, the astrologer apprentice enjoyed this wordless relationship a little, but as the tape stuck to the white gauze, Stuart's contemporary head of the house stood up and patted Jonah's hand: " Well, don't get wet for these two days, it will be fine soon, after a long time, after the palm grows calluses, I am not afraid of this level of friction, speaking of which, among the people who work on the sailboat all year round, only a squeamish guy like Danny still has a pair of delicate hands. ”

Hannah showed Jona her palm, her palm did have a whitish callus, floating slightly on the surface of the smooth skin, apparently she did not think that calluses ruined the beauty of a woman, but was proud of the unique characteristics of the sailor,

Jonah couldn't do anything but nod his head, Hannah spun his cloak and left the cabin, and the astrologer's apprentice looked down at his bandaged palm, and couldn't help but feel a little confused,

He picked up the quill again,

The research of the Summer White Sakura Magic Array is progressing very slowly, as the shadow of the sun is slanting westward, the sunlight entering through the cabin door** is gradually dimming, Jonah rubs his sore eyes, and finds that he can no longer see the complex lines on the papyrus, he has just finished drawing the sixth ruby of the Mithril thread, as many as forty thin threads are intertwined with each other, It took on a haphazard radial shape, but the astrologer's apprentice had gradually found a pattern, starting with the first ruby, a small half of these numerous Mithril wires were useless, and he piled up two stacks of papyrus on his desk, one of which was the magic pistol's energy radiating magic circle, and the other half was these strange lines of unknown meaning that burdened the circle,

The more he studied, the more he felt the similarities between the magic array and the star array, both of which used various geometric shapes to complete the collection, conduction, refinement, stimulation and radiation of energy, don't look at the beliefs of astrologers and magicians, in fact, the use of energy is quite similar, Jonah scratched his head,,, if you use the power of the stars to drive a magic array, what will happen, in the long history of magic in the continent, this kind of thing must have been done, but it is not recorded in all the books he has read,

Danny's head reappeared at the gangway, and with him down the steps, there was a bright lamp, and the oval glass cover placed on the brass base cast a warm yellow halo, through the glass, it was impossible to see what was burning inside, only a slight "hissing" sound was heard, like some creature in the lampshade was constantly gasping,

Looking at his cargo friend curiously looked at this lamp, Danny proudly fiddled with the brass lamp holder and said with a smile: "This is a lime gas lamp, as long as you put in the limestone powder, use this handle to increase the pressure, and then light the lamp flame, it will always shine all night, this is the latest work of the Qu Weishiti craftsman, even if it is a new thing in the entire southern continent." ”

"Qu ...... What the. Jonah said confusedly,

"The western province of the Vedas, not far from Punjab. "It's a minority settlement, home to skilled craftsmen, and a natural sanctuary for steam puppeteers, who make up more than half of the continent every year. ”

"Oooh. Jonah didn't understand too much, in his head, the Southern Continent was still a dark area covered with mist, and the names of several countries and cities scattered in his memory were scattered everywhere, and there was no way to assemble a map, so he couldn't help asking: "By the way, Danny, is there a book called "Geographical Estimation of the Southern Continent". ”

"What a calculation. "This time it's the other party's turn to be confused,

"It's okay, it's okay. The astrologer apprentice hurriedly waved his hand, "I have already drawn a small half of the magic circle, and found many strange places, if it is more efficient, I can completely replicate the operation of the summer white cherry blossom tonight." ”

Danny's eyes lit up: "Really, great, you don't have to do anything, just do your job, leave the rest to us, dinner will be served in an hour, this time I often barbecue the craft, fresh four-winged moa wing wing meat plus Danny's secret barbecue sauce, marinated into the flavor, grilled on both sides, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and spicy, you are so fragrant that you swallow your tongue in your stomach." ”

Jonah couldn't help but pour cold water and said, "I didn't say that I could find your father's message, but I just summarized the unreasonable......"

"Ann, you're an astrologer. Danny seemed more confident than the person concerned, "My dad is just a sand thief who can't read a few words, and there will be any mysterious information that he can keep and that even you can't solve." ”

After putting down the strange hissing lamp, Danny walked out of the cabin, Jonah sighed, spread out the papyrus again, and pointed the magic pistol with a magnifying glass, in fact, after an afternoon's work, he had already found some doorways, the magic array used to shoot energy rays was basically the same as the "scorching ray", he saw many familiar expressions, and even found a "Gilberto spiral" in the energy amplification part,

The logarithmic spiral, named after the original astrology instructor Gilberto Gilberneon, is an entry-level geometry that every astrologer apprentice must master, and it is used in most star arrays that require energy amplification operations, according to Mr. Koshavoy, the "Gilberto Spiral" It has almost become the signature logo of astrologers, and the entrance of the magnificent 590-yard-high astrology tower at the headquarters of the astrologer association on the eastern continent is engraved with the geometric pattern of the Gilberto spiral as a sign of respect for the first astrology teachers.

Jonah didn't know if there was an exact spiral shape in the wizard's world, but the familiar graphics saved him a lot of effort, as long as he decided that the seemingly messy Mithril thread was a Gilberto spiral, and the next job was to find the input, output, and spiral body, and separate the useless parts.

He drew a seventh circle on the paper representing the ruby node, the seventh gem in the center of the top of the magic pistol, where the Mithril lines were the densest, and obviously played an important role in the complex magic circle, but after just one glance, Jonah exclaimed, "What a joke." ”

The fifty Mithril threads emitted by this gem, none of them were part of the magic array, that is, this gem did not play any role at all during the firing of the magic pistol, and the astrologer apprentice nervously approached the light source, traced the whereabouts of the lines with a magnifying glass, and then found that if it was connected with the useless Mithril threads in the first six gems, the seventh gem was simply the activation center of another magic array,

There is another magic circle hidden on the white cherry blossoms of summer,

Jonah perked up, quickly took the stack of papyrus with useless lines depicted, spread out the table, according to the form indicated by the seventh gem, he put the drawing he had just drawn in the center, tried several combinations on the table, and soon formed a broken geometric figure, centered on the seventh gem, the first to sixth gems extended with lines of unknown meaning were clearly part of a huge magic array, Jonah covered his mouth, shocked by his discovery,

The hidden circle was not working, but was interfering with the operation of the summer white cherry blossoms, so that the magic pistol had to wait for it to cool down every five shots, Jonah stood up and wanted to shout outside for Danny to share the latest results, but the male of the Stewart family used his loud voice to shout first, "Set up the reflector, I'll take care of the mast, and you will take care of the deck." ”

Hannah responded with something that I couldn't hear clearly,

Jonah immediately rushed up the gangway, night had fallen, and darkness covered the endless sea of sand, but far ahead, an incomparably tall pillar of light stood on the horizon, illuminating the heavens with holy white light," ...... Is that the Well of Light? Staring at the cylinder of pure light, Jonah opened his mouth wide and asked vaguely,

"Yes, cargo friends, what's new. Danny hurriedly ran past him with a stack of reflectors, and by the way, the reflectors were made of thin silver-plated steel plates and lightweight wooden frames, and Danny climbed up the scarred mainmast, fastened the largest reflector to the top of the mast, and wrapped it tightly with a cable, "I know what you're thinking." He didn't forget to make small talk to Jonah, "As long as we cover the reflector directly above, the light in the Well of Light is vertical, and as long as we take refuge in the ninety-degree projection of the reflector, we are safe." ”

As the three-masted galleon approached, the well of light became more and more majestic, compared to the 700 yards of sand waterfall that could only be seen with his head held high, the light that shone from the clouds could not be estimated in height at all, and the whole field of vision was ignited by the snowy light, and Jonah trembled to see a rare spectacle in his life, the dazzling light was driving out the darkness little by little, and with each yard of progress, light and darkness alternated, and the majestic, solemn, and incomprehensible pure light was like a gate of heaven slowly opening, greeting" The gales of Bactria "sailed out of the sea of darkness into the arms of the Lord God,

Danny landed on the ground along the mainmast, squinting his eyes: "It's spectacular, isn't it, a great view of the endless sand sea, don't ask me why this pillar is called the 'well' of light, I don't know, there is also a legend that a small number of the Chosen One can get the metaphor of the Lord God when they pass through here, and see the picture of the past and the future, so these people call this place ' Mirror of Eternity', I don't believe in this kind of nonsense, if the main god Luta was going to send down an oracle, he should have killed my unscrupulous father with a thunderbolt fifteen years ago, and I don't have to wait until today to ......"

Unable to hear Danny's nagging at all, Jonah put his hand on his chest, trembling and clenching his teeth,
