It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"So this is the resting place of a certain god, or the place where the Son of God is about to be born?"

Nobold gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, remember what I said earlier?"

"In my long life, I have found several ruins and world entrances that may be sleeping gods. The land of exile, the sunken city, the cellar of no light, the polar circle of ice flames, the abandoned country... .”

"What do you think it looks like here?"

Ella's voice became a little dry unconsciously, and the very familiar names and prayers in the past emerged in her mind.

"The polar circle of ice flame... is this the sleeping place of "Yafum"? "

Chapter 39 Beyond the North Wind

"Yeah, that's where it all started—"

Nobold smiled, and every word he said shook the world that Ella used to be familiar with, shattered her common sense and cognition, and dug a deep shovel into the secret buried in the distant past.

"Aren't you curious, why you can inherit part of Yafum's divinity, and why you can use his power without being polluted when you are still very weak?"

"Did you ask yourself this question one night in the past? What is the connection between you and that existence, and what kind of inseparable relationship is there - or simply, what are you?"

Cables and ladders were dropped on one side of the side of the boat. In such an extreme environment, there is no man-made pier. Even whether the frozen soil under your feet is firm or not requires a certain amount of common sense and luck to be determined.

The bodies of the sailors were wrapped in thick felt and bearskin. They put on non-slip spiked boots and thick leather gloves, with almost no skin exposed.

Excessively thick warm clothing will inevitably cause some troubles in action, but the crew are all strong men with strong skills, and they quickly adapt and complete the landing with this.

In just a few minutes, two figures who did not belong to this era stood silently on the deck near the ice ocean, making one feel that they had been silent for a whole century.

Ella looked at the towering snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the distance, and breathed out gently, her expression not showing much emotion.

"I do care a little bit, but just the issue of life experience can't shake me now."

If Norbold's passage had been placed before she awoke from Nod's serpent's mansion, it might have been able to plunge her into a vortex of self-doubt, sighing in fear of her unknown past.

But that's a thing of the past—whether it's lamentation or fear, there are people in this world who are willing to stand by her side.She has no reason to give up, it's better to be with someone.

"So what if I am the son of God born by Yafum? Compared with being your daughter, it doesn't seem to make much difference if my own father is an evil god. One's background and so-called truth will change one's position."

"Now and in the future, I am just the wizard Ella Williams. The reason why I am willing to stand here to explore the truth is just to hope that it can help me face the end, that's all."

Nobold showed a gratified smile,

"Since you can think like this, I can feel at ease...Let's go, let us embark on the old path again, and unravel all the secrets in this place of beginning and place of end."

-

Like a dedicated tour guide, Norbert Williams always followed the girl at a constant pace.

"The name of this mountain is Yalaq. Its main peak is over 7000 meters above sea level. In the local language, the word Yalak means "the crown of the goddess." "

"Its coordinates are quite special and hidden. Even wizards like you and me want to discover its existence is not an easy task."

"I first got a record of it in manuscripts of exotic folklore collected by the fleets of the East India Company at my liking."

"A man named...well, seems to be Clark A. Nuckett or Colette...whatever, I don't remember his name anymore."

The two followed the sailors, and everything around them was coated with a layer of tea-brown like a rolling background.With the exception of a few men who remained to guard the ship and what was left of it, the crew and the two ancient wizards set out along the ice sheet to leave the perilous permafrost of the coast in search of stronger ground.

Ayla noticed that at the head of the procession, the former "Norbold Williams" was examining a scroll of maps and old manuscripts with a compass in hand.The handwritten signature of Mr. Clark A. Nuckett is faintly visible on the cover of the manuscript.

At the time, Norbord, who was still young, seemed unsure about the clues pointed to by the map, and was just groping for some clues.

"Who is Clark?"

Ella didn't have much memory of the name.

"He was a knowledgeable folklorist and a low-level wizard. Clark believed that he could master powerful magical power from folklore and legends from various places. Although the scholar did not get what he wanted, his textual research The overly detailed transcript still left me with some quite valuable clues.”

"One of the records concerning the ruins of ancient Hiberil caught my attention."

"Ancient Hybril?"

Ella searched her own memory. As Kraft's executive officer, she was completely a master in mystic knowledge.

"I remember that it should be the country located in the extreme north of the world in Greek legend. Kraft's purpose of action is to grasp all the mythical heritage of the material world. According to the records more than 100 years ago, we also sent a team to the North Pole, but However, no record can be found that can be called the remains of the ancient country.”

"Even in the folk myths of the local people, there are only some fragments of information that cannot be called information. The concentration of magic power and the ground veins in the polar regions cannot support us to establish a transmission point, so in the end we had to give up the exploration of the polar regions."

"Hey, master all the mysterious heritage of the material world?"

Nobold laughed,

"How arrogant this is, but... understandable."

"You are right. Ancient Hiberia was a mythical country passed down by the Greek population. This Greek word means "the land beyond the north wind". "

"It is rumored that the lifespan of the Hyberilians can reach a thousand years. They only experience the sunrise once a year, and the sun never sets."

The silver-haired girl frowned slightly. This description... reminded her of something uncomfortable.

"But it's still too much of a coincidence. You said that Clark was just a second-rate wizard, or that you found the exact entrance to the ruins with just one of his notes and scattered clues?"

Nobold shook his head calmly.

"Of course not. If I only rely on myself, I will probably get the same result as you - but Sibyl is different. She is a wizard who has survived from the distant past. In the age when the mystery has not yet slept, she can naturally get more Lost knowledge, that's the envy."

With that said, the team has traversed more than five kilometers of permafrost and snowfields, and there are more rocks and snow plants that can tolerate this climate in the area close to the mountains.This team, which was active more than 200 years ago, chose to camp at the foot of the mountain.

Chapter 40 Extreme Night

The temperature in the Yarraq Mountains is below minus thirty degrees even during the day.

Unlike the legendary land where the sun never sets, it is actually horribly cold, and Yarak Mountain will be covered by snowstorms and thick clouds almost all the time of the day, and only very rarely can the living be moved. .

In such an environment, how to spend the night is by no means a matter of sloppiness. If people who fall asleep without adequate preparations are likely to be unable to wake up again.

In the scene like a faded film, it was difficult for Ella to judge the weather and time at that time, but judging from the actions of this expedition team, they seemed to intend to camp here overnight and did not plan to continue exploring today.

One of them, a thick male sailor with dark yellow skin and deep-set eye sockets, mumbled a lot of words in a language that Ella was not familiar with, while the other man, who was relatively thin compared to the others, immediately said in English with a strange accent:

"Segner means that we have entered the polar night circle, and it is not a sensible thing to explore during such a time period. He once again suggested that the respected Academician Constantine temporarily stay in a city outside the polar circle until the spring equinox After all, this means that we only need to wait another month to get better weather and more time for activities.”

And his narration obviously failed to change the mind of the only woman in the team. Most of the young lady of the scholar just sat beside the fire made of solid whale oil, burning hot water, and kept writing in the manuscript. Write and draw.

"Academician Constantine?"

Ella noticed the title and asked casually.

"Sibyl Constantine is the pseudonym she uses in the UK. Nominally, Ms. Sibilla is a fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge University. She once obtained a degree in theology and ancient linguistics, so some people call her Constantine. Sister Ding or Master Constantine, whatever."

"It was at that school that I first learned of her existence."

Nobold explained,

"You know, wizards of our level have some wonderful sense of connection with each other. At that time, I was also quite surprised that a female student studying theology in a mortal university would have survived from a long time ago ancient prophets to this day."

"Her existence is enough to drive wizards and scholars throughout the mysterious world crazy. I remember that there was a wizarding organization called the Twilight Society in a certain era... Those people spent an unknown amount of time pursuing her legacy. and resources, but the real Sibylla lives right under their noses.”

"I used her name when I mobilized people this time. I paid a considerable bounty and hired people with rich experience in survival to set up a scientific expedition team to search for the legendary ancient Hiberil across half of the world."

Ella frowned as she watched the men sitting around the campfire in the cave to keep warm.

"Why are you bringing these ordinary people here? Are you and Sibylla not enough to explore the Yarak Mountains?"

"That's the place where gods sleep."

As if recalling something, Nobold's eyes flickered, and an undisguised happy smile came from his throat.

"They will give themselves sufficient protection before they fall asleep. The more people like you and me, the harder it is to find clues under their deliberate cover. If there is no guide, even finding this mountain range It's also difficult, it doesn't exist on the world map and it doesn't have a unique flavor."

"In contrast, ordinary people are able to detect more abnormalities that we have not noticed. They will feel that the weather has become abnormally cold, the harvest of crops has increased or decreased, and the subtle time changes of sunrise and sunset can be detected from these abnormalities. Get inspired."

“Don’t overlook the capabilities and greatness of ordinary human beings.”

"Divinity is not omnipotent. Except for a few existences with special authority, when they look down on the world, they are like us observing the ants under our feet. Have you noticed any differences in the patterns of one ant from those of the same kind? ?”

"Even if you have this ability, you may not really notice it, and it only takes a blink of an eye for it to blend into the shadows of ant colonies and vegetation."

"It's quite simple for us to destroy an ant colony, but it's a different thing to know what they are thinking and what they will do. It's like they will never understand the end of facing destruction. People who have the ability to leave this planet, why would they stay and wait for the doomsday for some insignificant reasons.”

I don't know when, Ella always felt that Norbord's words meant something else.He didn't just lament a few meaningless rhetoric in the heat of the moment, this man... seemed to be implying something to himself.

"You want to say—"

As this strange feeling gradually deepened, Ella looked at the man sitting beside the phantom of the campfire, as if immersed in false warmth, trying to confirm the doubts in her heart.

But at this moment, a slight tingling sensation interrupted her thoughts, and the sound echoing in her ears became clearer.

It seemed that the outsiders had indeed found some wonderful way to connect with her. At most one more attempt, she should be able to have a simple conversation with that voice.

More than that, Ella even noticed that the power of pollution was fading.If the terrible influence brought by those two sacred objects can be weakened to half, maybe she really has a chance to leave the seal and return to the place she is familiar with.

But this feeling of joy did not last long, and the girl came back to her senses in the next moment.The end is approaching, and if a solution cannot be found, there is no point in returning to the material world and returning to Kraft.

The girl shook her head and refocused her attention on the scientific expedition team from 200 years ago.

She learned from the little translator that the man in thick seal skin was named Sagena, and it seemed that this was not the first time Sagena had mentioned this opinion to the initiator of the adventure.

This Inuit who lives in a city around the polar circle cannot understand why outsiders would choose to enter the snow-capped mountains at this time. Even his bravest compatriots would not be willing to risk entering the polar night circle to hunt at this time. .

They prefer to live in the warm igloo of life, enjoy the salted food stored in advance, and drink a cup of warm whale milk.

However, the remuneration paid by this team is really surprising. He has never seen so much gold in his life. Saigon even doubts that the funder of the expedition team, that man with a face full of luxury, can buy it. The whole village where he lived.

As for the other strong sailors who came from afar, those who were attracted by the commission to join the team did not seem to be easy to dismiss.

At an indeterminate time, the world outside the bonfire was dark, and the exhaustion brought by the long-distance voyage made people fall asleep after enjoying the food. This was the first day they arrived in the Yarak Mountains.

Chapter 41 Phased Testing

Ling sank a radiant translucent sphere into the pool in front of the gray-white crystal statue, and it completely merged into it the moment it touched the water surface, without even splashing or ripples.

Green, yellow, and moon-white light mixed with this blood-like impurity entangled and spread in the reflection of the water surface, gradually overflowing the cup surface.
