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

He shrugged his shoulders and looked at the dark night and the endless ice fields in the distance. He could occasionally hear the howling of snow wolves farther away from the mountains.Pieces of wind and snow drove across the frozen sea and permafrost, like the ghost of a giant running in the night.

Nobold said nothing, as if he was really just invited to enjoy the night view, with a charming smile on his face.

"You know why I'm looking for you at this time."

Sibyl's voice was faint, but the man who had been smiling slowly frowned.

"The mission of the guide has been basically completed. We have found the Yarak Mountains and the disguise of the main peak that has been locked. Now they can get flowers and praise as the heroes who opened the channel. There is no need to stay here to die."

Nobold gradually restrained his smile, and was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"I thought it would be more reasonable for me to talk about this kind of topic. Could it be that after thousands of years, you still haven't gotten used to the death of humans around you?"

"I am still a human being, and you also understand that the more people like us, the more we have to restrain ourselves and retain our humanity. There is no difference between unrestricted divine mages and monsters. They are a disaster for the world and should be expelled and eradicated. "

Sibylah's topic has become a little dangerous, or if Nobold Hall has been too deeply influenced by divinity, she doesn't mind solving this hidden danger that is enough to threaten the world.

"I'm human too, not some ruthless and cold monster."

"I also hope that each of them can return to their hometown alive. I hope that Rand can add the names of a few big guys to his hunting record and go back to brag in the tavern he often goes to."

"I hope that Inuit hunter can go back to his igloo on the island, he has two children not yet ten years old and a strong and hardworking wife, and the puffins they pickle behind the igloo are time- —Jesus, while I can't take that horrible food at all, he should at least try his much-vaunted wife's cooking."

"I also hope that Gracie can go back to London, marry the girl he likes, and tell the story of his adventures to his future children. If this guy is willing to invite me to his wedding, I would like to offer him my heart bless."

"But...not so much time."

Having said that, his expression became cold, and the cold experience was like the eternal glaciers and permafrost in the polar regions.

Saying so, he took out a black octagonal box from his breast pocket.

The moment this item appeared in the hands of Nobold Hall, Ella felt as if her heart missed a beat!

An indescribable sense of oppression and fear rose from the depths of her heart, and the cold air brought by this moment almost completely froze her.

With Ella's current strength, even if it was a divine item, even if it was part of the body of a true god, she should not have such a reaction.

"What it is!"

The girl noticed that her teeth were chattering, and she could tell at a glance that the box was made of extremely high-purity forbidden magic stones, but even so, there was a trace of breath in the box—no, it was just the air in the air bubbles that were about to shatter. , the atmosphere brought by the images from 200 years ago is already so terrifying!

Sibylah took a deep breath of cold air, but even the extreme cold enough to freeze her lungs could not suppress the restlessness that made her want to turn her head and run away.

"The imprint of doom... is he, and is he closer to this world?"

"There are only less than 50 years left. If we don't respond, the time of this world... will be less than 50 years. By that time, you, me, this scientific research Everyone on the team, the country and the whole world will cease to exist."

"In the face of such a catastrophe—what does personal life and death matter?"

"You can feel it, our strength was suppressed when we approached the main peak, maybe in a few days we will become like ordinary humans, we will be injured and die... in this At such a time, even if it is just a little bit more chance of winning, it is worth it."

Norbold looked down at the ground and the igloo on the back of the hillside, the temperature in his eyes seemed to burn himself.

At this time, Ella's heart was full of turmoil. Leaving aside the imprint of doom that she had never seen before, Norbird's words had already shocked her extremely.

50 years?

The scene she saw was more than 200 years ago. Could it be that the apocalypse was once prevented—or was it successfully delayed?

Chapter 49 Test flight

After one night, the wind and snow outside the snow house subsided a lot, and now it is one of the few convenient times of the day.

After everyone wakes up, Academician Sibilla Constantine demonstrates the possibility of crossing the canyon.

While people were sleeping, a weird device similar to a huge kite was assembled overnight with the materials in her backpack.

The primary materials of this eccentric contraption are lightweight wood, sheet metal, and sturdy oilcloth that drains water.When it is installed on different parts of the human body as expected and fully unfolds the four pairs of flaps, it looks like a legendary flying dragon or a giant bat.

"This thing is—"

Gracie's mouth grew wide, no doubt he'd seen something like it in a book somewhere.

Norboard was also stunned, then laughed dumbfoundedly, and only after a long time spit out a hard-to-pronounce noun.

"Leonardo da Vinci's winged glider?"

"Now it's Sibyl Constantine's modified winged glider. I've made some improvements, and it should be able to glide stably in a short distance."

Sybila nodded to acknowledge the source of their familiarity, but there was a lack of smugness in her tone, which made Ella find some familiarity from her.

"Although the vertical height of the canyon is high, the actual distance from here to the opposite bank is less than 50 meters."

"My plan is for one of us to take a winged glider, reach the opposite bank with a rope, fix one end, and then we can use the rope to build a ropeway to complete the leap. If we start to prepare the gondola and the ropeway from now on, at most It takes two days to reach the other side, which can save us at least half a month."

"This should be the first time in history that humans have conquered the sky. I think you, as explorers, should be very interested in this opportunity."

The Inuit hunter touched the blue-black stubble on his chin. He didn't know anyone named Leonardo da Vinci. In his world view, only seabirds and wind and snow could soar in the sky.

If this strange big guy can really conquer the sky, it can be said to be a great attempt called a miracle.

"Sounds good, but can this thing really fly?"

"Not flying, but gliding."

Sibilla explained,

"The altitude of our mountain is higher than the other side of the cliff... I have done many experiments in Wales. Although this is the first manned experiment, the probability of accidents is not high."

"Not much? How much is it specifically?"

Asked by the whaler who is sensitive to numbers and probabilities because he often hangs out in casinos.

"No more than [-]%, it has a probability of [-]% to [-]% to send us to the other side. This is no longer a gamble."

-

When the members of the scientific expedition team came to the cliff again, they still felt dizzy because of the steep terrain.If there was an accident while gliding, the person who fell to the ground from this height would inevitably be dead.

Even if the probability of success is close to [-]%, but on the other hand, there is a probability of more than [-]/[-] that they will die. Not many people will laugh when faced with such a thing.

The end of the winged glider is tied with a rope. Above it is a strangely shaped metal ring. The gondola is fixed under the glider. It carries some tools and relatively light materials for fixing the rope on the opposite bank. If this test flight To succeed, those who reach the other side need to build a new stronghold there and spend the night.

"Is there really no problem?"

Gracie Williams was a little worried. After all, in his impression, Da Vinci's aircraft design should only exist on drawings.However, what later scholars and speculators who saw business opportunities restored according to the manuscripts did not actually fly into the sky.It became more of an origami model, or an inexpensive toy for kids to pass the time with.

Ella, who was at the end of the team, dismissed their concerns. In fact, the winged glider made by Sibilla was completely pseudoscience, and there were no reliable principles and data to support its stable flight.

Those so-called improvements were not reliable, and they were even a bit cumbersome and useless compared to Leonardo's manuscripts. They just made the shape of the glider more in line with the creator's aesthetics.

Sibylla Constantine believed that the thing could fly for only one reason.

That is, on the metal ring fixed on the tail of the aircraft, there are some obscure and quite powerful magic fluctuations.

Although it cannot be confirmed due to its age, Ayla reckons that it is mostly a magical effect such as anti-gravity or wind element. The major scientific breakthrough of this Sibyl is basically a core part composed of magic and alchemy parts. crappy toys.

Ella thought it would be easier to just hold the metal ring and float across the cliff, even after shedding those flaps and frame entirely.

Norbold Hall's expression when he saw this toy was probably because he saw this.

"She loves this kind of thing, and even made similar props in the student group at Cambridge University, those physics and student professors who worked on Da Vinci's manuscripts couldn't figure out her stuff. The principle of the so-called 'invention' ultimately just attributes those things that cannot be copied to the momentary inspiration and talent of a genius."

Nobold stood behind her again at some point, talking about the past with some nostalgia.

"But that's not all I want to say. This operation was not as smooth as you imagined, and I didn't expect this at the time."

The silver-haired girl turned her head and glanced at him. Her long hair rose and fell in the snowstorm 200 years ago.

"I don't care about your or Sibilla's bad taste, I want to know everything about the "Mark of Doom" and the doomsday that should have happened 150 years ago. "

Norbird seemed to have known that she would say that, but shook his head slowly and firmly.

"It's not the time yet. Check it out with your eyes, trust me for now... I have reasons for doing this."

"At least I'm not in the mood for mischief in such matters."

-

"So now, who of you is interested in giving it a try? Or you can let me do it myself, after all, I am the lightest."

Sibylah stood on the side of the winged glider, and a smooth and flat track was swept out in front of it. You only need to hold on to the handrails, and you can run up to the sky in front of the cliff.

"There is not much time, and the current wind direction is in our favor. But the wind direction in this kind of place may change at any time, and the faster the action, the more dangerous it will be."

"Let me come, if you are really unlucky, only you, Miss Academician, can make it again, right?"

The whaler twisted his neck, pulled on his hard-wearing leather gloves, and took the handle from Sibylah, while the rest of him tied the straps and rope around his waist.

Chapter 50 The First Mishap

"let's start."

Whaler Rand took a deep breath, even though it was filtered with thick towels and seal skins, the icy air made him feel slightly stinging.

The air heated by the mouth and trachea flows through the lungs, the man's heart beats faster, and the blood dissipates the cold and stiffness in the body along the blood vessels.

Think of it as whaling, as if you were punching your enemies in a bar, as if you were pulling your oars toward the sea.

The man tried to convince himself that his gaze was upward and he tried to ignore the hundreds of meters of altitude and the sharp ice cone rocks on the ground.

So he started to run, and his non-slip spike boots splashed snow mist and ice crystals, and every step he took left a shallow footprint on the ground.

But soon, the originally clear footprints became blurred, and Rand was a little surprised.

He never knew that he could run so fast. He was as light as a gust of wind passing over the ground, and as free as a bird flying over the sea.

With each step, he can jump several meters away, and a force is pulling the whaler upwards.

Rand gradually understood this phenomenon, not that his stamina and running speed were increasing, but that he was getting lighter.Something was taking most of his weight and was lifting this 160-pound man into the air!

He closed his eyes and took a step on the ground.

At this time, the sound of gears snapping and wooden wedges turning could be heard in his ear, and two pairs of flaps were deployed on his side, and a sudden thrust pushed the winged glider violently out of the cliff.

The expected feeling of falling did not appear, only the whistling wind and gradually distant cheers were in my ears.

So the whaler opened his eyes again, and what appeared before his eyes was a wonder he had never imagined.

The speed of the snowflakes and mist slowed down, and he was moving through the wind at this time, and he could feel a little resistance in front of him, and the cold wind dried the sweat that oozed from the man's forehead.
