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

This is an investigation record left by someone 30 years ago—or it looks more like a mutilated voyage diary.

It didn't start from scratch, and the first half of the paper has disappeared.

And this part of the body pressed under the fingers was recorded by members of the expedition team left by William Barents' fleet since they set foot on this land.

The language used in it lacks normal grammar and logic. It can be seen that when this diary was written, the mental state of the recorder was obviously abnormal.

In addition, there are more messy lines and distorted symbols on the parchment that are completely incomprehensible. They are not some kind of magical runes. Pointless scribbles.

It's just that the gloomy and crazy style of writing will make readers feel chills involuntarily... It's like, the recorder wants to record and describe things that she can't describe in words and words in this way.

At best, later readers can only read her fears and the tip of the iceberg she saw from these fragmented words and strange graffiti.

Sibyl Constantine turned a new page, and looked down from what was barely readable.

"September 1596, [-], the weather... There is no need to record the weather in this kind of place. It has been almost a month since we left Captain William's fleet. Presumably our fleet has returned And complete the supplies, according to the agreement, they will go to that island to welcome us in another week."

"We opened a new route and collected precious samples in the polar regions. The only regret is that we couldn't find the ruins of the ancient country mentioned by Miss Constantine. Thinking about it logically, how could someone establish a country in such a place? ? Even that erudite and awe-inspiring lady probably guessed where it was wrong."

"The land under our feet is undoubtedly the end of the world. This is a great journey. I believe everyone present will think so."

"We have begun to return along the original path of the mark, and this diary has come to an end here. Although there are many ups and downs in the process, this will definitely be the most important memory in my life-I will return to my hometown with glory , everything in the future will be as beautiful as the sun.”

If the content of this diary stays here, it is undoubtedly a beautiful story like a fairy tale.

Sibylah looked at the shriveled corpse. In her memory, the owner of this corpse should be a young girl with a healthy wheat complexion and full of vitality.

If she does return to her hometown, as the diary envisions, she should be old enough to tell her grandchildren the legend as a bedtime story.

She looked back and turned to the next page of the diary.

"November 1596, 11...we had a rare blizzard, which was too bad. The snow was so great that we cannot hope that the marks left along the way will all remain intact , I only saw the mark left once within the nearest five kilometers, but fortunately we still have a compass① in our hands."

"I always feel... as if something is following us, inseparable, as if there is an extra member in the team. I hope this is just an illusion, if it is a polar bear or snow wolf Something to make people laugh.”

......

"On November 1596, 11, we were completely lost. The compass was also crazy, and it was taking us in circles. Maybe there are lodestone veins under here, but we didn't encounter this phenomenon at all when we came. This is the third time the damn flag has appeared!”

"We're running low on fuel, but we don't have to worry about food just yet. We can hunt walruses and other creatures... I think we're probably more likely to freeze to death before starving to death."

"We can't give up yet. Captain Barents and the others should have arrived at the agreed place. If they find that we didn't come as promised, they should send people to search and rescue. We...after all, we have left a new mark, They'll find us, just hold on a few more days."

......

"On November 1596, 11, another man died and Macmillan said he wanted to go for a walk...and never returned."

"I can feel that thing is getting closer and closer to us. No, it's not just me now, they all feel that thing, I know it."

"It--doesn't seem to be following us, but is driving us somewhere, maybe that's its or their lair. It can't be a wolf or a bear, it's not something so gentle!"

......

"November 1596, 11, what did I see? Does that country really exist? If Miss Constantine were here, she would--God, what have I said, this is not a place for human beings to set foot at all place."

......

"How long have we been living here on XX, XX, 1596? From that day on, no one had any hope of survival."

"We built this wooden house, sealing the doors, windows and all the gaps, like babes curled up in their swaddling arms, hoping only to escape the doomed end. Maybe it would be nice to end it with a gun like Ricardo did, at least to gain a short-lived Decent and dignified... I don't have much time, I can feel that I am like a lamb on the altar, something is growing where I can't see it."

"I want to know where I am. It is true that we are facing the bottomless abyss. I have seen ghosts from ancient times, all crying out for death again. I have seen what the world cannot see. Secret, and also saw the ending that I will face."

"What appears outside the window - is that the sun, is it fire?"

The content of the diary ends here.Its owner stopped moving at that point.

-

In the corner of the wooden house, Ella has returned to this place from the depths of the snow field, and with her ability to go further than before, she can keenly perceive what was overlooked in the past.After noticing something abnormal, she sighed softly.

"It seems that I am still late, and things have already happened."

Nobold smiled and shook his head.

"Then you are at least more than 200 years late. Don't forget that all of this is an old thing that has already happened and ended. You and I are just spectators."

"Don't think about changing anything. You should read it patiently and accept it - only then will you be qualified to face everything."

Chapter 59 Sudden Talent

Sibyl put away the diary responsibly. Besides these contents, there were also some scribbled notes in the diary.

They are mostly symbols and patterns of unknown meaning. This language looks similar to the content recorded in the Clark A. Nuckt manuscript, but it is far older than them.This should be a rubbing by someone 30 years ago, and it is the ancient Hippoli language left over from the building.

And Gracie, who is also a scholar of ancient languages, also began to try to interpret the content.

This style of writing looks somewhat similar to the Phoenician alphabet, but it has not been simplified and is more complex and cumbersome.

However, since the ancient Greeks had exchanges with the Hiberriers, and even left relevant legends and records, the deciphering work will not be untraceable.

He listed the repeated parts on a piece of manuscript paper and compared them with several ancient characters he had mastered, and then found that his translation work was not difficult.

Is it because of your past research accumulation?

——Not for this reason.

Gracie is very clear about his true level. He has average talent and does not have enough financial resources to collect more information than others. Most of his knowledge sources are only the school library and a few businessmen friends who occasionally visit him. The private collection shared in the salon is revealed.

Just as Gracie had roughly deciphered the first sentence by guesswork and unidentified inspiration, he heard another man begin to murmur.

"The Blessed City of Eternal Day...The golden and silver suns shine on half of the city respectively...wrong or should it be translated as half of the world?"

Sibylla looked down in thought, biting the side of her finger.

"Perhaps it should be half of the year. The golden sunlight refers to the normal polar day phenomenon, but the ancient Hiberilians lived in an era where there was no polar night, and the other half of the year was illuminated by what they called the silver sun."

Prior to thinking and rationality, Gracie corrected the other party's mistakes in such a neat manner, speaking calmly like a client who had experienced that era.

He talked eloquently at first, but after he came back to his senses, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Gracie noticed that Sibilla was staring at herself with a strange, monster-like gaze.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This academician lady is far more knowledgeable and professional than himself. Her accomplishments in ancient languages ​​even amazed some senior professors at Cambridge University.

She is recognized as a genius, an elite, an expert, how could he, who is above average, give his opinions in such a teaching tone in such a place?

Ella watched this scene, and she knew that the facts were far more exaggerated than this gentleman imagined. Sibyl Constantine was simply a person who survived from ancient times to the present.As a wizard in ancient times, those so-called ancient languages ​​were simply the things she used when she was active, and no one in this world was more familiar with them than Sibylah.For her, Ancient Cybrill is closer to the era she lived in, at least she can find some shadows that have not completely faded from the text.

But Gracie Williams deciphered the content of the sentence one step ahead of her.

"I'm just guessing."

he waved his hand

"—No, you probably really cracked something that I didn't expect, and there's nothing to be modest about."

Sibylla patted him on the shoulder,

"Before the snow is still heavy, go back to the stronghold near the cliff with Segner, and let other people there come together. This room should be enough for all of us. There are still some usable people left here. The terrain is not bad, the house is strong, and it is dry enough, which is better than a snow pit dug casually in that kind of place, and Rand's feet will recover faster."

"I will continue to stay here to do the deciphering work. If there is no accident, this will be our long-term stronghold."

"Are you staying here alone?"

Faced with Gracie's question, Sibyl raised her eyebrows.

"It's safe here, at least from the way we opened the door, the team from 30 years ago has not been attacked by wild beasts. By the way, remember to see if the compass still works, although we have more maps and better equipment, but previous experience is always useful.”

Gracie felt that what she said made sense, and without thinking much, she left the cabin with a torch and a cane for exploring the road. It would not be difficult for them who had experience to find this place again.

-

Gracie, who returned to the vicinity of the cliff, was stunned by the sight in front of her. The snow there was turned over in a mess, and there were scattered red blood stains on the ground.

In the center of the crowd, a huge polar bear fell to the ground, with many burn marks on its snow-white fur.Underneath the bear's body were two sled dogs that had been torn to pieces.

"What happened?"

Gracie asked the bearded sergeant, who was smoking a tobacco leaf, and the latter took a few more puffs, then wiped the blood spatter from his face with his thumb.

"As you can see."

"Not long after you left, this big guy attacked us. It should have been hiding nearby for a long time. You are lucky. Beasts usually attack people who are alone. If you run into you, you will only need two harpoons You can't handle this kind of thing."

"It's the first time I've seen a bear this big. The brown bears I've seen in the jungle before are nothing compared to it. It took us two shotgun rounds to bring it down. If it weren't for the sled dogs If there is an early warning, it may take a few people to die to solve it."

Burke stepped on the bear's back and pulled out his hunting knife. He was the one who made the final blow just now.

As he said this, his expression changed.

"By the way, why are you the only one who came back, where are Segner and that academician lady?"

So Gracie explained the cabin they found,

"Since there are wild beasts here, it's safer to live in a wooden house, and we can build some fences later. There are some trees and shrubs down from this hillside. According to Miss Sibilla, we probably want to be around here I stayed there until the spring breeze."

Burke calculated the time, and there was only about half a month left between now and the spring breeze day. This place is not far from the main peak, and it is indeed the most suitable place to camp.

"Okay, help carry this big guy into the car first. It will be enough for us to eat fresh meat for several days. Just dig out the burned areas and clean them."

Gracie nodded in agreement, not forgetting to borrow the compass. The strange phenomena recorded in the diary of strange things did not happen, and the compass pointed normally.

Chapter 60 Dreams and Mutations

Light, dazzling light.

Gracie, who had been accustomed to the dim environment of the polar night, felt very uncomfortable. It took a long time for him to gradually regain focus and see the surrounding scene clearly.

A huge pale sun was suspended in midair, and the entire sky was stained silvery white by its light.It was an existence that couldn't be looked at directly, and when he looked at it hurriedly, his eyes ached like burning.

The body temperature is leaving the body quickly, his limbs and torso are getting colder, as if the blood is frozen inch by inch by the severe cold, and no longer flows.

Instinct made the young man immediately retract his gaze and lower his head.
