Chapter 43 Heart of the Desert

"The Mushroom Farm Trident". Knowledge related to the use of mysterious magic circles. Jonah completed the first original star array in his apprenticeship as an astrologer on the three-masted sailing ship "The Wind of Bactria". I don't know why. The first

The moment the first test shot was successful, Jonah looked at the three dazzling rays arranged in an equilateral triangle. What came to his mind was Toba's honest smile. He was gradually becoming stronger... This was not enough. He needed to be stronger.

Strong enough to protect every partner around him. The astrologer's apprentice held Siela Pina tightly. The blood in his body was flowing endlessly... At least, the tragedy of the room leader would not happen again.

"Just drawing on paper can be so powerful. What if it is engraved on crystal? A big crystal stone." Danny turned around in disbelief and touched the three small holes as thick as his fingers on the bulkhead. The remaining heat from the rays

I heated it a bit and kept blowing on my fingertips.

"The larger the scale of the star array, the stronger the mental power of the driver is required. With my ability, an intermediate red crystal the size of a fist is already the limit." Jonah thought for a moment. "Calculated based on the input and output power. Trident

The power is about four to five times greater than the scorching ray of the same size. At the same time, it consumes exactly twice the energy of the spiritual pool."

The Stewart man's eyes lit up: "It can be used as a cannon. The crystal is not disposable, right? Does it cost fifty silver coins to fire it once?"

Jonah was startled. "It's not a one-time thing. If it's at the level of a cannon, even if I can barely drive it, I can only fire one round a day. The mental pool will be drained."

"That's enough, that's enough." Danny was overjoyed and rubbed his palms together: "Look, although you are the cargo and we are express delivery carriers, we have different positions and different opinions. But since we are on the same boat and share the joys and sorrows, we have weathered the drought and tornado.

. Rushing down the big sand waterfall. It can be regarded as a life-and-death companionship. I think it is not too much for me to make such a suggestion. It is just a suggestion. Of course you have the right to refuse. But after listening to it, you may not reject it outright.

Woolen cloth……"

"If you can find a large piece of pure red crystal, I promise to help you build a cannon-level Trident Star Array to defend against the enemy together." The astrologer apprentice was not an idiot. He immediately woke up and agreed happily.

Danny immediately magically took out a piece of parchment full of words from his white robe. He grabbed Jonah's right index finger and dipped it in the ink bottle. He pressed it on the lower right corner of the paper with a sound, so fast that it was too fast to see clearly.

Quickly, he waved the paper in front of Jonah: "See clearly. This is the contract in which you promise to provide services to this ship. It will take effect from now on. It will be valid for thirty years. It is a standard document officially recognized by the Civil Affairs Tribunal of the Tocharian Empire.

.It has a sacrosanct effect, cargo friend. Thank you.”

"Um...what..." Yona hasn't reacted yet.

"Nothing, nothing. Let's go up to the deck to get some air and take a look at the scenery." Danny smiled and put his arm around Jonah's shoulders and pulled him up the gangway. "From now on, please take good care of me."

I never thought you were a pretty good astrologer. You hide your secrets, man."

"It's nothing. It's just a small improvement. I also want to thank Hannah for lending me the Summer White Cherry Blossom to study." The astrologer's apprentice blushed and touched the back of his head and said sheepishly.

"Why are you being so modest? Put the cannons behind for now. Let's take a look around." Danny squeezed Jonah's shoulders and pushed him onto the deck. He threw him to the side of the ship, bent down and bowed. An exaggerated nobleman's hand-off ceremony: "Now I present to you the peerless scenery of the endless sand sea. A unique picture that cannot be copied. The legendary... forget it. I won't say more. You see for yourself."

Jonah was already watching. His eyes were so wide open that a few flying sand hit his unsuspecting pupils accurately. Tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. However, the astrologer apprentice resisted the pain in his eyes and refused to blink. Eyes. Because that will temporarily erase the shocking scene in front of you...even if it is only for a moment.

"Your dementia is the best compliment to a desert man." Danny bowed unhappily.

Hannah stood at the bow of the ship. Her short blond hair shone like a torch in the morning light. "The year I came to the Southern Continent. Not long after I can remember it. It was the same morning. Dad took Danny and me side by side. Standing shoulder to shoulder on the back of 'Chacha', looking at this scenery, it was the happiest moment in my life." She turned her back to the two men and said in a leisurely voice, "Dad was still my dad at that time. He was not called The king of sand pirates who is the 'Superintendent of the Madhouse'. A ruthless man who roams the sand sea."

"You remember wrong. Sister, the person who was watching the scenery with us was Aunt Biyanka." Danny sighed. "At that time, my father had already started running around extorting gold coins from the indigenous people."

"I think you remembered it wrong. Brother, when I was four years old, my father captured this sand-loving worm with the help of seven sailors. He built a simple shack on the back of Chatter. In September of that year. We are here. The days are still peaceful. Everything is beautiful." Hannah turned back and stared at her brother with gray-green eyes.

"No, no." The man from the Stewart family shook his finger. "In September, Old Bay had already conquered the east side of the Racing Star and started building a dock. At that time, Dad brought fully armed sailors with him. We traveled around in a small pocket sandworm and attacked one indigenous tribe after another. We brought back gold and silver treasures and precious food and water. At that time, we were accompanied by Aunt Byanka and her family on the back of the Chicha. Little follower."

"Chichi..." What ended the argument was the sound of steam erupting from the big gun "Lame Henry's Prosthetic" when it was pressurized. Watching Danny slowly lower his head and close his mouth, Hannah gently relaxed her grip. The right hand on the handle of the gun. Nodding to show encouragement.

"Good, so high." Jonah finally let out a complete sigh.

"...Right." Danny Stewart weakly agreed.

Directly in front of the "Bactrian Wind" route lies a rolling, boundless mountain. Ocher-yellow mountains rise from the skyline. The majestic main peak rushes into the sky. There are strange things on both sides. The rocks are protruding. The mountains hang down on both sides. But until the horizon is beyond Yona's sight, the mountains do not connect with the horizon. Even at the lowest point of the mountain, visual inspection shows that it is far higher than the terrifying height of the 700-yard sand waterfall. The rising sun coats the mountains in the southwest with golden-red outlines, making them look even more majestic and moving.

Such a big mountain appeared in the endless yellow sand. The variety of landforms in the southern continent made the astrologer apprentice feel sincerely amazed again. Such a vast mountain must have a moving name. Jonah wiped his eyes and turned with expectation. Stewart brother and sister: "What's the name of this mountain?"

"Mountain." Danny asked strangely, as if he didn't understand his question. "What mountain."

"It's this mountain." Yona stretched out his hand and pointed forward. While secretly thinking about whether there was something wrong with his expression in the common language of the Western Continent.

"You said this... is a mountain." Danny suddenly burst out laughing. He knelt down with a thump and banged on the deck: "You said this was a mountain. Hahahaha... I thought you could guess it. This What’s the name of the mountain? Hahaha... Hannah, look what a cute cargo friend. Hahaha..."

Jonah was so embarrassed and angry that he laughed. He paused the Siela Pina in his hand. "Why are you laughing? Did I ask the wrong question? This is obviously a mountain."

Hannah turned to look at him, with a smile on her lips. But she didn't add a pinch of salt to the astrologer's apprentice's injured heart. Instead, she explained: "That's not a mountain. To use what my brother often uses, you see. .The great mother of all the sand-loving worms in the endless sand sea. The demigod daughter of the main god Luta. One of the greatest creations in the southern continent. The eternal spiritual totem of the desert civilization. Wherever it is, there is the life of the sand-loving worms. .The home of the Sand Sea people is right there. The center of the entire desert is right there. That’s right. What you see is..."

"Wait a minute." Danny jumped up and made a stop gesture: "What you said is not exciting enough. You should use a mysterious, proud, and grand launch tone to create enough suspense, and then reveal it all at once. Come out. This will have a dramatic effect. Let me do it again. You should learn from it. Ahem." He cleared his throat. "...The center of the entire desert. It's right there...That's right. That's what you see. …”

"Hubworm."

Jonah spoke blankly.

"...You bastard amateur who doesn't know how to perform." Danny let out a sigh of relief and squatted aside in anger, ignoring him.

In fact, this description comes from the companion volume of the "Geographic Survey of the Western Continent" that Jonah guessed should exist and actually exists: the legendary "Geographical Survey of the Southern Continent". The few words spoken by the Stewart brothers and sisters come from the "Geographical Survey of the Southern Continent" Chapter 1 Chapter 2 "Geographical Calculation and Ecological Research of the Endless Sand Sea" is about sand-loving worms. The original text describes the entry "Hydroworm" as follows: The great mother of all sand-loving worms in the Endless Sand Sea. The demigod daughter of the main god Luta .One of the greatest creations in the Southern Continent. The eternal spiritual totem of desert civilization. Wherever the queen worm is, the life of the sand-loving worm is there. The home of the Sand Sea people is there. The center of the entire desert is there.

The indigenous people of the Endless Sand Sea, the Tantuha people (a branch of the Colombo race in the southern part of the Western Continent), migrated from the Western Continent to the desert areas of the Southern Continent and settled there 20,000 years ago. They formed a matrilineal clan, worshiped water, and built sand-loving worms to move A loosely gathered tribal form characterized by architecture... "The Formation of the Western Race". J.J. Thomas. 2250-2298.) In the culture of During the long exchange process of the Fire Empire, the Tantuha people slowly accepted their belief in Luta, the creator and the god of fertility. However, most staunch Anglican members still considered them to be pagans. Worshiped more than any other god.

In the "Ten Years War" that began in 2107, the Tocharian Empire army defeated the 14-tribe coalition of the Tantuha people and took over the southeastern territory of the Endless Sand Sea. This war that led to the complete decline of the desert indigenous people was caused by the conflict of faith. As a result, the Tantuha people tried to establish a figure-eight patrol supply depot in the province of Namoza and erected an ugly statue of a queen opposite the Anglican Church. This rampant behavior touched the back of the Tocharian Empire. It was in line with The golden city in the honeymoon period of the Anglican Church was angry. Camel cavalry and sharp scimitars, with the help of Buddhist monk soldiers, expedition to the endless sand sea. And won the final victory... In summary, although the Tantuha people have declined .However, both tourists and new colonists of the endless sand sea should have awe of the Houworm. Any vulgar and disrespectful behavior is prohibited. For example: cursing the Houworm; internally cursing the Houworm; spitting at the Houworm; spitting ; vomiting blood; peeing; taking off clothes; exposing genitals; exposing thighs; blowing smoke rings; posing; shooting; throwing food; throwing feces; throwing...
