After the negotiation with the Wusu tribe was completed, the next day Linge took Saint Xia Liya and Xino back to Osor Mountain, stayed at the top of the mountain, and began the long and tedious surveying and mapping work. Unfortunately,
Yes, a week has passed, a lot of information has been checked, and several piles of manuscript paper have been discarded, but the progress of surveying and mapping has always stayed at zero, without any progress.
The only thing that gave them some comfort was that although the surveying and mapping work was tedious, due to the cold airflow of the snow-capped mountains, the air quality on the 7,000-meter Osol peak was particularly pure, without the barriers of high-rise buildings and industrial exhaust gases.
Finally, the transmission of starlight no longer seems to be limited by distance. Those great constellations that are difficult to see in the city on weekdays, such as the Uranus, the Queen, the Messenger and the Ancient Knights, are all released in this place far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Its own brilliance is so great that travelers can take in a panoramic view of the magnificent and dazzling Milky Way by just raising their heads at night.
Under the starry sky, you can reach out your hand and touch the dreamy starlight, feel the warmth flowing through your veins, and when you lower your head, you will see that the shadows of the mountains are dormant under your feet, accumulating.
The snow reflects the transparent starlight, which stretches and expands on the earth like the veins of stars, until it reaches the edge of the distant mountains. The sky, the earth and the stars are one, indistinguishable from each other. Such a majestic and majestic scene can indeed wash away the emotions in the heart.
Distracted thoughts, and the fatigue that has been troubled by numbers and formulas for a long time, all disappear.
No wonder the Eastern Alps is known as the best place for stargazing in the entire Western Continent. Every year, many people come here in the name of "purifying the soul", hoping to wash themselves with the pure snowflakes and clear starlight of the Snowy Mountains.
The filthy soul returned to the pure and flawless posture when it came into the world. There are many poets, painters and playwrights among them. It is said that in the mid-16th century, the painter Jishan completed his painting after stargazing in the mountain fortress.
In the famous work "A Night in the Mountain Castle", the poet Denely once wrote the popular poem "Snow, you have brought me back to my mother's womb".
However, due to limited conditions, those people can only climb hills of four to five thousand meters at most - which is actually not too small. However, in the Eastern Alps, peaks of four to five thousand meters are indeed everywhere, which is not surprising -
The field of vision is always limited by higher mountains, and the most perfect experience cannot be obtained. Ringer and others are probably the only people in modern history who have been able to climb to the top of the 7,000-meter snow-capped mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the stars.
It is a pity that young people study history rather than literature or painting, so they cannot leave precious works to future generations like those sentimental literary and artistic workers, so that they can also understand their feelings at this time.
The only thing he can do on the manuscript paper now is to write down formulas one by one, fill in the numbers one by one, and after some rigorous and boring calculations, shake his head and cross out all the calculation results, that cold and ruthless
The lines revealed a decisive momentum, and at the same time announced the failure of another calculation.
"The coordinate changes of Akiba and Hoarfrost do not comply with the calculation formula. Either there is an error in Galileo's celestial calendar, or there is a deviation in the calculation process. If it is the latter, it is fine, but if it is the former, it is terrible.
Because most of the data we use now are obtained with reference to the celestial calendar. Once there is an error in the celestial calendar, it means that the previous calculation process is all in vain and we need to start all over again..."
The young man folded the discarded manuscript paper and put it into the wastebasket next to him. He murmured to himself: "However, seasonal errors must also be taken into account. Saint Tomi stayed at Mount Osor for three years.
It took thirteen months, almost three years to determine the positions and coordinates of all the stars, and we only had one winter, which is obviously not rigorous enough. In other words, if the position changes of the constellations in different seasons are also taken into account,
It will take at least a year. To be honest, it’s a bit hard to accept..."
It only took him a year to set out from Linwell City and find the last young Queen in the Grindelwald Fields. Is it possible that mapping the star map is more difficult than gathering the seven Queens of Order?
What's more, even if he has this patience, the Witches' Association may not have it. All signs indicate that their Eden Project is about to enter the final stage. So far, the concentration of magic power in the Mirror Star World has dropped to an astonishing level compared to its heyday.
About 30% of them. If they cannot be stopped in time, even if the goddess comes forward, it will be of no avail.
On the one hand, there is the surveying and mapping work that cannot be careless, and on the other hand, there is the main task that cannot be neglected. Young people are caught in the middle, and they are really in a dilemma.
broken.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, feeling a little helpless: Why did he start to regard fighting against the Witch Association as his main mission? Could it be that he had been in contact with Alice for too long and was gradually assimilated by her? No, it shouldn't be, maybe it's just recently.
I'm just too tired and mentally exhausted. I'll be fine if I take a proper rest.
The young man found an excuse for himself, just like those terminally ill patients who would use various excuses to comfort themselves - in a sense, being assimilated by Alice is indeed no different from being terminally ill.
Ringer stared blankly at the blank manuscript paper spread out on the table. He continued to work, but he might deepen his fatigue, be taken advantage of by the Alice virus, or give up work. Although it would slow down the progress, at least it would ensure his personal safety.
After struggling with this option for a while, I finally chose the latter with all my heart.
Work is limited, but Alice is infinite. Isn't it a fool's errand to try to use limited work to fight against infinite Alice?
He sighed, screwed on the pen cap, and pressed the pen on the manuscript paper to prevent it from being blown away by the wind coming in through the cracks in the wall. Then he stood up and glanced outside, only to realize that it was already dark and the night was heavy.
When it comes, the entire mountain range is shrouded in a dark and quiet atmosphere. Occasionally, one or two birdsong can be heard from the foot of the mountain. Snow owls or white-tailed crows are actually extremely ethereal, and can be heard in the valleys between the mountains.
There was no wind or snow, so Linge decided to go out for a walk to relieve his fatigue. As soon as he walked out of the stone house, he saw Xino waving a spear in the snow, making a rustling sound. The blade of the gun picked up countless snowflakes on the ground, surrounding it.
As she flew up, she was illuminated extremely brightly by the nearby moonlight, which was almost transparent. Together with the long snow-white hair that was spread out, it seemed that it was also dyed with a touch of awe-inspiring moonlight in the flying snow all over the sky.
.
The gun skills of the Goldstaff family, inherited from the pioneer Baron Vince, evolved during the long period of the White Griffin Dynasty's split and war. They are genuine battlefield martial arts that pursue high-efficiency killing. Every move is simple and capable, never
Leaving unnecessary flaws. And the display by Xino is full of an elegant beauty. When the branch-shaped blade of the Holy Spear White Thorn is swayed, it is like the silver blade of moonlight flying up and down, and the rising snowflakes are divided into two parts.
Half, and blends lightly into the moonlight, relaxed and freehand, without any stagnation.
Saint Xalia sat under a big cedar tree, holding the lamb in her arms, gently stroking its white hair, as if stroking soft snowflakes - the lamb had to follow it by itself, because it couldn't
Don't worry, the owner is alone with Ringer. Although it was later discovered that Xino was there, aren't the two girls more dangerous? So it has to step forward, but the flower protector.
A little nervous.
Ringer looked away expressionlessly from the lamb that was showing its teeth in protest, feeling completely calm in his heart. At this time, the two girls also noticed his appearance, and Xino subconsciously stopped waving the spear.
The snowflakes stagnated at first, and then fell down one after another, just like a long-lost snowstorm ushered in on the top of the mountain, and the girl knight stood in the snow and showed a bright smile to the young man: "Good evening, Ringer
, are you finally willing to come out and rest for a while? If you don’t come out again, Xiao Xia will go and pull you out.”
Ringer then looked at the shepherd girl under the tree. The latter blushed and turned her head slightly, her eyes wandering. She did not dare to look at the young man and only defended herself in a low voice: "Because Ringer, you seem to be working too hard.
In fact, there is no need to be so anxious, a balance between work and rest is very important."
This sentence, which Ringo once used to persuade Oveira and Ietta, now turned into a boomerang and hit him.
"I think so."
Xino put away the spear and said to Ringer: "We all know that this matter is very important, but your attitude is indeed a bit anxious. This is not like your style, Ringer. What does Alice say?
, there’s no point in being anxious? It’s very appropriate in the current situation.”
There's no point in being anxious...?
Lin Ge rubbed his brows, and he did feel dizzy. He didn't feel it in the house just now, but now it was very strong when he was blown by the wind on the top of the mountain. Just like what Saint Xia Liya and Xino said
In that way, he has actually been forcing himself during this period, but a liberal arts college student has to do the work of a science student, studying those complicated formulas, data and coordinates every day, how can he not be tired?
"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to it." Lin Ge nodded to the two girls, indicating that he remembered it, and then said with some tangle: "However, if possible, I hope you will not use Alice's words to persuade
I, after all, that sounds... very unconvincing."
"Hahaha, is that so?"
Xino smiled brightly, obviously not taking Ringer's words to heart, and even said a kind word for the golden retriever maid in turn: "Actually, Alice can occasionally say some very philosophical words. Ringer, what do you think of her?"
The prejudice is too deep.”
Ringer was silent for a moment, and suddenly a sentence came out of his mouth: "If some people can only occasionally say some philosophical words, but most of the time they are nonsense, we generally call this kind of person... a mental disorder.
.”
"Is this some kind of joke? Ringer, I didn't expect you to have such a humorous side."
Xino suddenly smiled even more happily, her eyes were curved into crescent moons, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were covered with a layer of snowflakes in the bright moonlight.
Saint Xalia blinked her eyes under the tree, looked at the expressionless Linger on her left, and on her right at Xino who was smiling happily, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It seems a bit careless.
I thought that Xino should be the least threatening person, but now it seems that is not the case.
I had long heard that she had been chatting all night long with Ringo in the small town of Regram. The two hit it off and had a great conversation. Unfortunately, they sat in front of the table in the middle of the night and did not ask about ghosts and gods (Alice’s original words).
I thought this was just a normal interaction between friends, but I didn't expect it to turn into something dangerous.
We have only been on the island for a few months, and we already have such a tacit understanding with Ringer!
You know, he has never told himself a joke before!
Although it is a bad joke, and it is an Alice joke...but it is not important, just like Alice herself is not important!
It seems that it is necessary to raise Xino's danger level to another level, let's raise it to Iyeta's level.
The shepherd girl made her decision silently.
By the way, there are three levels in total in her alert list, and Ietta is stuck in the middle. Above is Olvera, who has some strength and can still operate; below are Lorena and Gloria.
, people also know their own level, they are just here to play. Only Iyeta can’t get up or down. You can let her take the initiative to attack like Olvera. I’m sorry, I can’t do it; but let her admit that she and Rorona
I am also a fun-loving person, and the important thing is to participate, but I am not very willing, so I am stuck here, which is very embarrassing.
By the way, this list was made under the advice of an authority figure who did not want to be named. Although the authority figure with pink hair was still young, he had already seen through the emotional entanglements in the world.
He is an expert in emotional issues. He has made many suggestions for Saint Shalia and achieved outstanding results. She is regarded as her right-hand man and entrusted with important responsibilities.
By the way, in fact, Saint Xalia didn’t know something. Except for her, all the girls on Yunjing Kong Island had a similar list in their hands, and they were all under the name of the person who did not want to be named.
Developed with the help of authoritative people, even the names on the list have not changed, only the objects and their risk levels have been slightly adjusted based on the client's personal needs.
Therefore, the person who holds the list thinks that he is the most competitive person, and the others are just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning...
A pair of invisible black hands, while everyone is unaware, is quietly stirring the whirlpool on the empty island, which is bound to stir up turbulent waves, subvert the old pattern, and bring about new changes!
The lamb in Saint Xalia's arms suddenly shivered, and the girl lowered her head and looked at it with concern: "What's wrong, lamb? Is it cold? Why don't you go back to the house and rest?"
"Hey..." the little sheep screamed, with a confused and helpless sound in its voice. It didn't know why, but it just felt a chill, as if something bad was happening.
At the same time, on Yunjing Sky Island, inside Tianxin Church.
The pink-haired little girl who was immersed in her homework suddenly raised her head with a thoughtful expression. After a while, she tilted her head: "Hey?"
The two friends were very puzzled, even a little scared: "What's wrong, Metien, why are you smiling so happily?"
I suddenly laugh out loud while writing my homework. This kind of thing is definitely terrifying!
"It's nothing, I just feel like something good is about to happen~"
