At the grand welcome feast, Jonah met the owner of the Harimaya estate, Emir ibn Shaqqar, Prince of Harimaya. Prince Shakar warmly took the arm of the astrologer's apprentice and pulled him to sit at the seat of the extraordinarily long bar table in the ornate banquet hall, but fortunately Asai made countless colors beside him, and the black eyeballs almost came out of his sockets, and then Jonah received the message from the Oriental, and said modestly: "No, no, Prince, I am just an astrologer's apprentice from afar, how can I sit in that honorable position?"

After the translation of the Orientals, the courtesy of the guests made the prince feel good, and he no longer insisted on the two pushes, and sat down on the throne himself, with Jonah and Du Chakar on either side, and Asai beside the astrologer's apprentice. Jonah glanced to the right, and from this position there was no end of the long table, which was densely packed with richly dressed people, men and women, old and young, whether they were relatives or old friends of the Shakar family.

The prince raised his glass, and the feast began. In fact, Jonah had no memory of what he had eaten, or how many times he had touched glasses with the nobles of great honour, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself lying on a large soft and comfortable bed, and he was alone in the richly decorated bedroom, with an arched glass window open, and the night breeze blew the floor-to-ceiling curtains, which smelled of roses and impatiens. Two flickering wall lamps illuminated the room, and Jonah groaned and sat up, suddenly realizing that he was completely naked, wearing nothing but a pair of panties.

"Oh no! I'm an idiot, I've said 10,000 times to be vigilant, be vigilant......" he jumped up in remorse. Fortunately, his clothes were neatly stacked on the low stool beside the bed, the deerskin bag hung on the hanger, and the staff Silafuna leaned against the wall, the smell of soap, obviously washed and dried, and even the not-so-striking staff was carefully cleaned and wiped with a layer of shiny wax. The newly refurbished deerskin bag contained important items such as the Geographical Estimation of the Southern Continent, a glass bottle containing the Moonlight Spirit, star dust, an astrology workbook, gold coins, and precious stones.

"It's over!" Jonah's head banged as if it was about to explode, "no...... Nope!"

The astrologer's apprentice covered his head in despair, "Don't worry, it must have been put away, look ......for it again," he muttered, frantically throwing his clothes everywhere, throwing the contents of the deerskin bag to the ground, kneeling on the ground and rummaging, "No...... Nope!"

The pages of the nameless book are gone.

Jonah fell to his knees on the snow-white wool carpet in a daze, his eyes hollow as if he had lost his soul. Segres's prophecy has always been a source of courage for him to walk in troubled times, and without the guidance of prophecy, he has no idea what reason to support his precarious beliefs.

Just as he was on the verge of collapse, a voice sounded in the room: "I'm sorry, I'm looking for something, don't worry." ”

Jonah stumbled and fell to the ground as if he were electrocuted. When he got up, he deliberately looked at the entire bedroom to make sure that no one else existed, but at this moment, the person who slowly walked out of the shadows behind the curtain had clearly been hiding there, why did he turn a blind eye?, "You, who are you?" He stepped back with a trembling voice, reached out and grabbed the Mark of the Gods, and began to sense 130-77 starline energy, urging the attack star array at the top of the staff.

"Jonah, I'm not an enemy. I'm here to help you. The man took a few steps forward and stepped into the range of the wall lamp, and his figure became clear. She was a person you will never forget at first sight, with an overweight body almost spherical, a small head sunk in fat-deposited neck sockets, and disproportionately short hands and feet, wearing red bloomers, black leather boots with spurs, a loose royal blue cape, and a white braided top hat with a pink bow tied at it.

It is impossible for Jonah to forget such an impressive old friend," ...... Miss Rose?" he opened his mouth dumbfounded, his jaw stiff like a rusty iron tong.

"Call me Rose. The visitor smiled and nodded.

Even if the astrologer apprentice wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that this person would appear in this place at this time. The person in front of her is Miss Ross Ross, the consul of the free town of Sukasa Canyon on the Western Continent, and in the long-distance raid of the Golden Hammer Legion of the Zawi Empire, the Sukasa Gorge has been reduced to ruins under the iron hooves of the dragons, and the guards have been wiped out, and Ross Ross is nowhere to be found. I didn't expect to see her in the palace of the prince of Bactria, the golden city in the far center of the southern continent.

"Y-Why are you here?" stammered Jonah as he pointed to her.

"Put your belongings away first. While the maid was cleaning your body, I noticed that these papyrus sheets that you had kept close to me seemed to be very important, so I hid them in advance. Ross Ross stretched out his chubby hand, fingers pinching the fragments of the nameless book.

Jonah immediately swooped down and snatched the paper, and after a quick glance at the text to make sure it was correct, he stepped back to the wall and let out a long breath.

The Archon Sukasa smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't read the contents, - actually, I can't read the contents, that's not allowed - don't you put on your clothes first?"

The astrologer's apprentice realized that he was still naked, blushing and picking up the clothes that had been thrown on the ground one by one, tightening the belt of his robe, and putting a few extremely important pages back in his underwear pocket, he stabilized his mind, clenched his staff and asked, "Miss Rose, please forgive me for my rudeness, but you must tell me why you are here, now!"

Rose Rose nodded, "Of course you have a right to know something, Jonah. Sit down, and I'll tell you what I can tell you. ”

Jonah sat on the edge of the bed guardedly, and Rose Rose dragged a carved armchair to try it, but found that he couldn't squeeze between the two armrests, so he simply sat down on the soft carpet and pulled out a spicy beef jerky out of nowhere: "Would you like some? The spicy beef slices of the Golden City's specialties are fragrant, crispy, and full of bite, and are a great snack!"

"Uh...... No, thanks. Jonah almost vomited with the complex smell of unknown food mixed with alcohol, and he closed his mouth tightly and declined the offer.

"Okay. The Archon Sukasa threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and chewed it slowly, "I came to the Southern Continent on the ferry from Cherry Ferry, and of course, on the same boat as you. You faint shortly after you get on the boat, and then the Colombo spearman appears on the shore, the ferry's defensive magic array is shattered, and the stern is almost punctured into a sieve, but you are lucky enough to cross the holy river and dock at the south bank port of Sherington. I have had some trouble getting you off the ship, and I can't go with you, so I can only find a reliable courier company to take you to the city of Namoza, where we will arrange for a reception, from where you will be transferred to a steam-drawn carriage to meet us in the city of gold. We almost went crazy when we heard the news that you had left the sailboat and disappeared in the endless sea of sand, but it wasn't long before witnesses spotted you in the small town of Maracanda and boarded the 'Midnight Star' steam carriage run by the Shakar family. So, I was waiting for you in the Harimaya estate, and now, you're here, and it's good. There was a mixed glint in her small eyes, and Jonah was flustered.

This passage was full of too many doubts, and Jonah couldn't think of how to ask for a moment, "You mean, you entrusted me to the Stewart brothers and sisters for two gold coins to send to Namoza as goods?"

Rose Rose nodded: "The entrustment agreement can't transport living people, it can only be used as goods, I'm sorry~"

"Then 'you' are waiting in the Golden City to join me?...... Who the hell are you?" asked the astrologer apprentice, flustered.

"We are the left hand of the ghost. Ross replied.

"What is the left hand of a ghost, and why do you want to control my fate?" asked Jonah.

"I have no right to explain this to you. But we don't control your fate, on the contrary, the whole purpose of our existence is to help people like you pursue their own destiny, and no interference will be allowed. Ross replied.

“...... People like us? You mean you're spying on more people than me?" Jonah asked.

"Yes, but not as many as you might think. -- I should say that it is unexpectedly small. Also, the word 'surveillance' is very inaccurate, and we often refer to it as 'care'. Ross replied.

"Since when......" Jonah asked.

"It's late. Despite our suspicions, it wasn't until Cherry was attacked by the Golden Hammer Legion that we were able to detect your aura and determine your identity. Were you wounded in the battle of the Miracle Meadow?" asked Ross rhetorically.

"Seems to be...... on the arm. Jonah replied.

"That's right, only the blood with a strong breath can attract the attention of the probing array, and the closer the wound is to the heart, the stronger the betrayer's breath becomes. Luckily, Jeffta delivered the ticket to you in time, otherwise we and you would be in big trouble. Ross Ross said.

"The Fallen Darkfire Mage is also one of you?" Jonah was shocked.

"Yes. I. He. A lot of people. - The ghost's left hand. Ross clucked and took a bite of a crispy piece of beef jerky.
