For a moment, Ella had the urge to rush forward. But her feet took half a step forward and then retracted. The muscles on her face twitched violently. The moment before tears were about to leave, she exhausted all her strength.
He used all his strength to turn his face to the side, and then stumbled towards the depths of the cave.
——According to Hunter Mistertin, there are souls of Tepui priests floating on this island, and they are sacrifices to this soul, and these snakes are controlled by Tepui priests.
Ella knew that she couldn't deal with the giant snake on her own. However, most giant snakes would strangle their prey before eating. It would take some time for it to strangle Amy. So, before that, find out the secret of the Tepui priest.
"Soul" is the only way to save Amy.
For Amy, she is not afraid of any soul!
She used all her strength to run forward at a speed she had never seen before. She fell down several times because she was too panicked. But she got up again and again, hurriedly wiping away her tears, and gritted her teeth again.
Rush forward.
She finally came to the end of the cave, and the huge stone wall and the star map on the stone wall were displayed in front of her eyes, as well as the unfamiliar words carved next to the star map.
"Damn it, is there no way out? Where is that pretending Tepui priest!" Ella threw the candlestick to the ground with abandonment, and the wax was destroyed. However, the star map on the stone wall and the words on both sides were not
It emits fluorescence and stands out in the dark.
Ella slapped herself.
There was no point in being so violent as she just dropped the candlestick. She had to calm down, otherwise she wouldn't be able to save Amy.
She still vaguely remembered that when the pirate reported to her that Hestein was trapped, he mentioned the "star map". Is the star map in the cave referring to the one in front of her?
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then began to look at the stone wall carefully.
As soon as she calmed down, those unfamiliar words immediately took on meaning in her eyes - they were the lost words of the Tepui civilization. Ella had seen some unearthed ancient books of the Tepui civilization in the Royal Library.
Scholars in the territory were also summoned to study and interpret these texts.
Now, relying on her own knowledge, she read out this ancient text word by word:
"In the sixty-sixth year of Mostut III, the enemy prophet came; in the ninth year of Silames II, all wisdom turned to dust; in the same year, at twenty-three o'clock and seventeen on the vernal equinox, we landed on this island. This time
Successful escape will definitely be the cause of the defeat of Antichrist in the future. Therefore, the stars in the sky on that day are painted here. According to the prophecy, after two thousand years, someone will reappear the cause and effect of this day. We respect him as the king and keep him under his command.
, work together to drive out the Antichrist.”
Ella tried hard to use historical knowledge to understand the meaning behind this string of words: In the sixty-sixth year of Mostut III, that was more than 2,300 years ago. In that year, Moses, the leader of the Semites,
Led a group of Semites to escape from the slavery of Tepui. After successfully escaping, this group of Semites continued to harass the Tepui civilization. After three hundred years, that is, in the ninth year of Silames II, they invaded
The capital of Tepui, the Tepui civilization was destroyed. But then the Semites were divided again, and the Tepui area was occupied by the Seven Hills Empire. It was not until 850 years later that a powerful magician who claimed to be the son of God conquered the Semites.
The Te people were unified under the Tianfang Empire.
What Ella didn't know was that in order to decipher this text, Mistertin started from interpreting the Tepui language, then collected and consulted Tepui documents, and finally compiled the chronology of the Tepui kings from more than 2,000 years ago, and further
It took thirty years to calculate the exact year of the Tepui kings.
It only took Ella less than a minute.
The Tepui people have outstanding achievements in astrology. They believe that the stars can predict the misfortunes and blessings of the world. To recreate the cause and effect of that day, does it mean that people need to restore the astrology of the day when the Tepui priests arrived in Antilia?
?
There are 21,600 scales on the astrolabe, which means that the placement of the planets needs to be accurate to minutes of arc.
Ella stamped her foot anxiously. Damn it! How can there be time now to slowly and accurately calculate the star map? Amy will be hanged and swallowed by Basilik at any time!
——No, maybe there is still a chance, but not necessarily.
A glimmer of hope hit Ella's heart, and she remembered that Hestein had just fiddled with this star map not long ago. Before that, Amy had seen Bjorn and a group of pirates gathering together to make careful calculations.
The position of the planet.
Ella began to carefully observe the star chart in front of her - the sun is in Pisces and has not moved for a long time. This is natural. Because the text on both sides has explained that that day is the vernal equinox, and the sun is in Pisces at the vernal equinox every year.
It is the entry-level common sense of astrology. Then there are the positions of the five planets, which have traces of slight movement.
This should be the answer left by Hestein. When the pirates were calculating, Ella took a glance and confirmed that they had considerable attainments in astrology - after all, they were all navigators who made a living on the sea, and often
Use the stars to determine the direction.
But where did they go wrong?
The time was the spring equinox in the ninth year of Silames II, more than two thousand years ago.
Two thousand years ago.
Ella repeated the number.
Suddenly, she realized something, and with trembling hands, she resolutely moved the position of the sun from Pisces to Aries!
In fact, the sun does not always move. Its vernal equinox position moves westward by a certain arc every year. Although it is often ignored because of its small deviation, the current star chart was two thousand years ago, so the sun's deviation must not be ignored.
neglect!
Ella has already calculated the specific offset value, which is 50.2 arc seconds per year!
There are only 21,600 scales on the astrolabe, which only go up to minutes of arc. And the unit Ella measures is arc seconds, which is to divide a circle into 1,296,000 equal parts! The accuracy is more than enough.
In the ninth year of Silames II. Ayla calculated the specific time from this year to now, and then moved the sphere representing the sun to the accurate scale.
The continent in the middle of the star map seemed to be for people to press. Ella moved her hand up, but before pressing it, she hesitated - she only calculated the position of the sun, and the positions of other stars were all seas.
The results of Stein's calculations. Is it really good to believe in Hestein's results without reservation? Or should we check the positions of these stars again?
"Amy, she has no time! Hestein, if you can really calculate the positions of all other planets correctly, I will reluctantly consider setting up a tombstone for you after killing you!"
Ella mustered up her courage and took a heavy photo of the continent in the middle of the astrolabe.
Time seemed to have stopped suddenly, and all other sounds disappeared. Only Ella's heartbeat seemed particularly clear. The air was terrifyingly heavy. After a while, the sound of water flow sounded again, and the sea water continued to pour into the cave. Star map
The fluorescence also disappeared, and the cave became pitch black.
The sound of spitting messages came from all directions, echoing repeatedly in the cave, and seemed to number in the thousands.
"Hestein... Believing you is the biggest mistake I have made in my life."
Ella lost all her strength, her body slowly slid down the stone wall, and finally collapsed on the ground. She couldn't see anything. She only heard the sound of spitting messages getting closer and closer to her.
at this time--
"Icy."
The ancient Tepui language suddenly sounded in the cave.
