Dragon Zero

"Would you like to go up and take a look?" Bing Zhixie watched that Crescent Moon had risen to the top of the mast, and the cold light shone the sand into a curtain of blue.

Shakhan said: "You are so brave. The boat with such a weird atmosphere doesn't seem like a place to enter casually."

"You better not go up casually."

A melodious male voice sounded outside the Sensen Ghost Ship, and the Moonlight Dragon roared and then fell to the ground.

Shakhan and Bing Zhixie saw a man wearing a black leather jacket and black leather gloves, walking towards the wind. He wore a feathered hat, pressed silver curly hair, and slanted his waist. With a slender sword slung, long boots stepped on the sand, making a gentle rubbing sound.

"Who?"

The man said: "I have no malice, don't be nervous."

"Who are you?" Shakhan asked, and the purple dragon sword on his back was inserted into the ground.

"Venedin." The man said three words briefly and stopped ten meters away from them.

"You told us not to go up?"

Venedin said: "If you go up, you may not be able to come back."

"Oh, why? Is it special?"

Venedin looked up at the ship, the old mast creaked, and he said: "This is probably an old ship that was banished. It wanders in the turbulence of time and space. I don’t know how many years it has been trapped in it. .It is a ghost ship, coming silently, leaving no shadow, whoever gets on this ship will be taken by it to another world, a world that does not belong to us, it may be a netherworld, it may be purgatory Huangquan."

"Is there really such a thing in the world?" Shakhan was curious and suspicious, he asked: "You seem to know this ship very well?"

"I don't understand." Venedin said: "All I know is this."

Shakhan looked at the boat and wondered for himself.

Bing Zhixie still had doubts about this, and asked, "Why does it appear here? It's not a coincidence, right?"

Venedin left his finger and said, "Please look there."

"Huh?" Bing Zhixie looked up at the moon, only to see that the crooked moon was missing one piece, as if it had been bitten by something. He was a little surprised: "Lunar eclipse?" The missing corner of the crescent moon is only a small part. If you don't look carefully, you think it is covered by clouds: "What does this have to do with the ghost ship?"

Venedin said: "Perhaps the ghost ship was affected by both the lunar eclipse and the sand temple."

If Bing Zhixie realized something: "So the appearance and disappearance of the Sand Temple is also related to this?"

Venedin laughed and said nothing.

Shakhan asked again: "Who are you on earth?"

"A person who shouldn't be alive."

Bing Zhixie said uncomfortably: "Don't play tricks with me. Are you the one who left footprints next to the remains of the Illusory Rock Troll during the day?"

"Yes, it's me."

Bing Zhixie saw the sword beside him: "Did you kill the magic rock troll?"

"No." Venedin said, "It was dead when I came. I only got here one night before you."

"You are also here for the Sand Temple?" Shakhan asked.

At this time, a strong wind came suddenly, and Haifeng Road fell on the ground. When I saw Venedin, I was shocked by an accident.

Bing Zhixie looked at the gust of wind.

Hayate said, "I think you haven't gone back, thinking something happened. Huh!" He blinked and looked in the direction of the giant ship.

Bing Zhixie saw that the shadow of the sail on the sand was disappearing, and suddenly turned around and saw that the huge ship with a height of more than a dozen buildings suddenly disappeared, only to see the afterimage of the ship before it finally disappeared.

The ship disappeared silently, just as it came. Venedin sighed faintly: "It's like a regular ferry. It will leave empty without waiting for new passengers, and return to the netherworld." After speaking, his body suddenly floated backwards, behind his shoulders for some reason. Out of the large cloak: "You shouldn't come to the Temple of Sand, you can't enter that place." After speaking, the cloak completely wrapped his body and disappeared into the night sky faintly, just like when the ghost ship went.

Looking at the moon in the sky at this time, the little partial lunar eclipse disappeared, and the crescent moon returned to its full shape.

Haifeng wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Bing Zhixie: "This place is too secretive. Let's go back to the airship first."

The three returned to the Fuxing airship, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the lace on the boat, they did not get on the boat, and chatted about what had happened in the wind shelter outside the boat.

After getting to know their situation, Haifeng said, "I knew that person just now." He told Bing the embarrassment that he had been corrupted by that person's "Weeping Red Lotus". He thought he would be laughed at by Usher Bing, but was disappointed.

The three of them sat quietly on the sand, recalling what the man said just now. This Venedin seemed to know a lot, but they said half of them were left half, which made people unable to guess his details.

One night later, at dawn the next day, Shakhan gathered Ayyub's bones, found a place to bury, and carved a stone tablet. Alice and the others don't know what happened last night, waiting for Tyson's airship to arrive. Calculated by time and distance, I can probably get here this morning.

Bing Zhixie and Haifeng prepared the items needed to enter the Sand Temple, and both of them have a little basic introduction to Space Magic, and they can still do it simply by storing some things. However, Bing Zhixie still had a grudge against Venedin's words, especially the phrase ‘you can’t enter that place’. After experiencing the ghost ship incident last night, he felt that the Sand Temple was probably not a place where one wanted to enter, and perhaps it was completely different from all the previous tombs of Princess Gronas. If it is really like what Venedin said, he can't enter the Temple of Sand, then this trip to find the Temple will be nothing, and the next opportunity will have to wait forty-four years.

At breakfast, Bing Zhixie and Ruola talked about the ghost ship. Alice was very surprised when she heard it. Ruola cared more about the image of angels and demons. She asked: "Can you describe that ship to me? Is there anything special about the shape of the giant ship?"

Bing Zhixie said: "The shape of the ship is indeed a bit special. I can't say many details, because it was night and Shakhan and I didn't have time to observe the hull carefully. When the partial lunar eclipse disappeared, the ship disappeared.

Ruola said: "The characteristics of a ship are also an important entry point for the study of ancient civilizations. Knowing the characteristics of the ship, you can determine when it came from. Although the current history of the understanding of ancient civilizations and ancient countries is very thin, incomplete, and even There are ancient civilizations that may not have been discovered, and ancient countries that have disappeared. But as long as you study carefully, it is possible to find its source from the information about the broken glass."

Shakhan suddenly asked: "By the way, Miss Ruola, do you know the Jah's Den? The name makes me feel very familiar, but I can't remember where I have heard or seen this word."

"Jah Devil...Jah Devil...Jah..." Ruola repeated the word several times and shook his head: "I have an impression of the name Jah. This impression should come from the Bemte culture related to angels and demons. It’s a pity that there are very few book records about Bemte in history and archaeology. Most of what I know comes from the notes of my teacher."

"Books..." Shakhan thought.
