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

"Aren't you—"

"And you, Gracie Williams, why did you join the scientific expedition team to explore the ruins of an ancient country that you didn't even believe in before?"

It was Norberd Hall who suddenly interjected to solve the problem.

Williams?

Ella was shocked, and had a big reaction to this surname. Before that, she only knew the names of everyone in the team, but she didn't know their full names.

So for the first time, she looked this man up and down carefully.

Gracie has a light brown complexion, slightly curly black hair, a high nose bridge, and a shy and elegant smile full of scholarly temperament.But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find any sense of familiarity or similarity to herself.

"What is the relationship between this person and me?"

"You also had a different surname 200 years ago."

Nobold sat with the crowd enjoying the temperature that could not be conveyed in this bubble.

"There is nothing... very direct relationship, just keep reading."

Saying this, he actually sat there humming a ditty that had been outdated for hundreds of years.

This guy is probably completely unreliable, or it has been so long that he can't even remember himself.

Ella speculates maliciously, maybe except for some important things that must be remembered, what Norboard can think of can basically only depend on luck.

"Lord Hall!?"

Gracie was a little nervous and wanted to stand up, but was held down by the other side's shoulders.Norbold Hall also took advantage of the opportunity to sit near the two,

"Don't worry, we are all companions in the scientific expedition team now, and our identities from the outside world have no meaning in this polar region."

The man took some coffee beans, squinted his eyes and sniffed them in front of his nose, and then the corners of his mouth could not help but relax.

"I didn't expect to be able to enjoy such an authentic fragrance here, which is not much worse than the storage in the company building."

He couldn't wait to make himself a cup, and repeated:

"As I said just now, why did you join the scientific expedition team? As you said just now, you probably don't believe in the existence of the ruins of this ancient city, do you?"

"Most of the other people in the team are adventurers or well-known survival experts. The reason they appear here is because their expertise is suitable for this job. They don't care what my purpose is."

"Even if the final destination has nothing, they will get the bounty I guarantee-of course, I don't mean to say that you can't get the reward you deserve. But you, as a Cambridge graduate Elite, why would you take part in an expedition that you don't even believe in?"

Chapter 47 A Little Dream

"Mr. Hall thinks highly of me..."

Gracie Williams was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Compared with the other gentlemen here, I am no different. The reason why I came to the polar expedition is not such a noble thing as intellectual curiosity or the desire to conquer. Like them, I am only for money. My ability just meets the requirements of this job, and the reward you offer is generous enough, so I have no reason to refuse."

Norbold Hall also smiled and shook his head, he was not convinced by this rhetoric.

"Your family is not bad, sir. With your conditions, you can find a decent job after graduation, instead of venturing into such a dangerous polar region. There must be some reason why you have to do this?"

The coffee in the cup was steaming, and the metal jar warmed his hands, and the young man with an embarrassed expression scratched his hair.

"Is this an interview?"

"Take it as an interview, sir. I must at least get to know the employees who will work under me in the future."

Norbird's statement made the young man's eyes light up, which meant that his expedition was half done.

He smiled shyly and hesitated to speak.

"How should I put it... I'm in love with a nice girl."

The young director of the East India Company whistled.

The female academician of Cambridge University continued to try to decipher the language in the manuscript, but the pen in her hand paused for a moment, squinting and looking in their direction.

"I met her at the academy salon at the university."

"Sir, do you believe in love at first sight? I didn't believe in such a thing at first. I thought it was just an irrational fantasy produced by people in a special atmosphere."

"But it wasn't until that day that I realized that her every move, her eyes, her smile was attracting me... We chatted very speculatively until the other members left the salon."

"Isn't that a great start?"

Norbird glanced at the empty metal glass of the other party, and quickly replaced Gracie with a glass of single malt whiskey.

"But she is really outstanding, and even has aristocratic status."

"Although my family is not bad, it can only be regarded as a middle-class family. Now I am completely unworthy of her. Maybe this adventure will bring me confidence, wealth and other things I need."

After finishing speaking, the young man took a sip from the cup that was filled again at some point.

The hot liquid immediately poured into the throat.Gracie blushed, and he was so choked that he coughed uncontrollably.

"Young man, everything you want can be fulfilled."

Norbird patted him on the back with a hearty smile.

"This expedition has been reported and promised by the royal family. As long as you can return to London after completing the expedition, you will be able to participate in His Majesty's award ceremony at York Palace this New Year as a hero who conquered the polar regions."

"And you will get the reward you deserve for working for me-after that, you will not lack wealth and status, so the only thing you need to worry about is whether your sincerity to that lady can withstand the test of time Tested."

"Cough...that's...cough cough, of course, cough!"

Gracie blushed, trying to complete a sentence.He didn't seem to have been exposed to highly distilled alcohol before this, and he seemed very uncomfortable.

At this time, another voice floated from not far away.

"A man must at least have some courage. In my hometown, children as young as ten years old can already drink spirits mixed with whale milk."

It was Segner, an Inuit who surprisingly spoke English fluently despite his heavy accent.

"So you can speak English! Before that, you always asked me to translate for you?"

Gracie was a little taken aback.

"A good hunter will never snatch the prey that others have already targeted, just like I will not snatch your job-and you didn't ask me? Since I was hired by you, you have been translating Every word I said."

Sagna no longer polished the harpoon that had been polished to a shine,

"However, if a city dweller like you is willing to come to such a place in order to pursue a woman, it cannot be said that he has no courage. Work hard."

He patted the young man on the shoulder as well, then sat near the vent and dozed off with his harpoon in his arms.

"He's right, do it well, I also hope to see the young man in our team marry a high-ranking noble lady."

The one who spoke was a tall and strong man. After the igloo warmed up, he took off his coat fiercely, exposing shoulders that were almost thicker than human thighs with blue anchors tattooed on them.

This middle-aged man named Rand is a well-known whaler. According to Rand himself, he plans to add a few big Greenlanders to his hunting list.

There was a burst of heroic but warm laughter in the small snow house.

"At least for this moment, their blessing and the tiny friendship that was born is real."

Norbold Williams said so.

This fragment of consciousness remaining after 200 years, rarely joins the crowd, but just sits in a deserted corner watching the laughing and chatting people.

"Does this include you at the time?"

Ella's words stiffened the man's smile slightly, and the latter just sneered at himself.

"Who knows."

Ella has been observing the man named Gracie Williams, and in her judgment, the possibility of this man being a wizard is almost zero.

Although 200 years had passed, and through the bubbles that were about to burst, she could barely detect the breath of those people, but Gracie still seemed a little too ordinary.

As he said, he was just a college student who just graduated and joined this expedition in pursuit of higher money and status, nothing more.

As for the future he's looking forward to...

Ella shook her head, thinking that this surname might be just a coincidence, and there shouldn't be any connection between this ordinary person and herself.

On the other hand, the character shown by Sibilla is not consistent with the woman he has glimpsed in the long river of time. The reason for this may be attributed to the passage of time, even if it is only a few decades, it is enough to change a lot of things .

The light was dim, the sound of wind and snow outside the house became irritable, and the environment was kept warm by seal oil lamps. People gradually fell asleep under the stimulation of alcohol and fatigue.

At this time, Ella noticed that Miss Prophet's fingers clicked back and forth at a certain frequency, which seemed to be the opening gesture of a spell.

She raised her spirits, it seemed that Sibylah was about to make a move tonight.

Chapter 48 The Postponed Doom

Ella saw the witch, who was at least two thousand years old, wrapped her body in bear skin, gestured to Nobold who was adjusting the oil lamp with her eyes, and then closed her eyes against the suitcase behind her.

But in fact, this is just an illusion left by the confusion spell. She herself has passed through the igloo and appeared a little farther away from the camp.

Nobold showed a charming smile, and then used the same method to leave the snow house.

Ella's figure disappeared, and she wanted to see what kind of actions these two wizards who were hiding their identities in the scientific expedition team would do.

The outside temperature is as low as minus [-] degrees. Ordinary humans may suffer severe frostbite if they expose their skin for at least a short time. The skin and tissues will be necrotic after more than ten seconds. It is not a joke to have fingers or ears frozen off in the polar regions.

But the two thinly dressed people stood facing each other on the top of the snow mountain, and the howling wind, snow and ice crystals just passed through their bodies, as if light and shadow could not interfere at all.

The silver-haired girl was suspended ten meters away from the two of them. She had the previous experience, and she couldn't guarantee whether Sibyl or Nobold felt her presence across time and space.

Although this kind of worry should be unnecessary, even if this level of change occurs, it is impossible to change the flow of the river.

Just as she was thinking about it, Nobold Hall spoke first.

"Dear Miss Prophet, did you call me out so late to invite me to enjoy the polar scenery?"

Sibyl glanced at him, shook her head and smiled wryly.

It seems that the relationship between the two is not as familiar as Ella once saw in the secret room.

"...I really don't know why people like you get that level of power. When I first met, I even suspected that my perception was rusted in a long life. An arrogant and frivolous The little devil in this world is actually the most powerful wizard of this era."

"Aren't you the same? Before I reached the level where I could touch divinity, I never thought that the female student who spent all day in the library would be a prophet who lived for 2000 years."
