Chapter 435 The mountains in the distance

On the third day of sailing, the peaks of the World Mountains appeared on the skyline.

Xiaobai lay on the railing and looked at the mountains, and said: "It feels so short. We can leap easily."

Wang: "That's because it's far away. When you get closer, you'll find that many places are like cliffs and you can't fly over them at all."

"can you?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Nini."

Xiaobai turned her head. Even when she was hanging on the railing, she had to hold her head high to see Nini's face.

Nini: "Actually, most of the row of mountains we see now are higher than where our spacecraft is. It's just...it's just that the horizon blocks most of the mountains."

Xiaobai turned to look at Wang again: "Explain."

Wang: "You are becoming more and more skillful in summoning me. I am Kailin's pastor..."

Xiaobai: "Yes, the person being praised, please explain."

Wang: "Gloria is actually a sphere. The surface of the sphere is curved. The mountains we see are blocked by the planet itself, but are actually just a little bit at the tip."

Xiaobai looked at Wang and then at the mountain in the distance: "Is that so? So the mountain looks very short, but it is actually blocked by the planet itself? Then I look very short, so it must be blocked by the planet, right? "

Flint was having a morning drink when he heard Xiaobai's words and immediately squirted.

Xiaobai: "Isn't it right?"

"That's right," the dwarf said perfunctorily, "You look short because half of your body is in the soil."

Wang: "This, this, is something that only happens in the distance. In this way, if you stand far away, as long as you are far enough, we can only see your head."

Xiaobai: "As if I was buried in the soil?"

The king and the dwarf said in unison: "Yes."

Xiaobai tilted his head: "Nini, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, she turned to watch the bald eagle about to take off, but Nini grabbed her paw: "No, that's it. When you get to the ground in the future, you can fly far away to see us, and then you will find us landing." Half of the body is in the soil."

Xiaobai: "Well, I'll try it when I get to the ground. So those small peaks are actually super high mountains?"

Wang: "Yes, the spaceship should not be able to fly directly over it, but it is not a wall. There is a low place for us to get through. The route we have opened will be famous in history."

Flint: "Kill Shield Road by the way."

Elizabeth immediately showed a complicated expression. The reason why her family is so rich is because the Shield Road and the shipping river are connected in their main city.

The Shield Road is almost the only way to cross the world's mountains in bulk besides sea transportation. Relying on the goods from the other side of the world and the specialties of the Mountain Kingdom, the Langdon family to which Elizabeth belongs makes a lot of money.

Wang consoled him: "The shipping capacity is small, so bulk goods must still go the shield route. It will not affect your family's financial resources."

As soon as Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, Malika said: "Your Highness may be promoted in the future and no longer a mortal, so why worry about this anymore? Even if the Langdon family declines, people will remember that Elizabeth Langdon has ascended."

Elizabeth: "That's not necessarily the case."

She glanced at Wang nervously, who nodded seriously: "Yes, it is difficult to collect the materials for promotion. Even considering that I can get a lot of points with theology-related papers, the materials cannot be obtained with points. All obtained in exchange.     “I may have to go to various planes myself to look for materials. "

Marika: "You see, he's even willing to find materials for you."

Xiaobai: "Why do I feel that you are not talking about the same thing?"

Elizabeth nodded: "Definitely not."

Wang looked stunned: "Isn't it?"

Xiaobai: "No."

Flint laughed, then choked on his drink.

Just one day later, the World Mountains, which looked very short the day before, grew a lot taller.

Xiaobai: "Has it reached the end of its length? It still looks very short."

Wang: "Don't worry, you will have to look up at the mountains tomorrow."

Nini pointed to the front right: "There is a stone monument on that mountain peak!"

Flint: "The Pinnacle Monument. When the Mountain Kingdom was at its peak, the stone monument left on the highest peak of the Eight Peaks was used to announce that we dwarves had conquered the highest place in the world. Do you know why the dwarfs' airship is called Flying Over the Pinnacle? ?I came here just for this monument."

Wang was stunned: "I thought Leaping to the Peak was a name passed down from another plane. But it turned out that it was just a stone monument left by the dwarves."

Nini: "That's the Eight Peaks. The last time I crossed the World Mountains, I was running on the ground and didn't have such a good view, so I didn't see it."

Xiaobai: "Since the Eight Peaks are so easy to find, why didn't the dwarves restore your old capital underground?"

Flint: "It's true that the Eight Peaks are there, but there is a question mark as to whether the dwarf capital below the Eight Peaks exists. Some scholars also believe that the capital of the Mountain Kingdom has always been the current capital, in the area controlled by the Mountain Kingdom It has always been this big.

"The eight underground cities under the Eight Peaks are just legends. The evidence is that we have dug so many mine tunnels and opened up all the underground mountains, but we have not found a single mine tunnel leading to the legendary Eight Peaks."

King: "You can't say that. The Gunshan Kingdom doesn't know about the Fetal Movement Palace, right? I bet the official records of the Gunshan Kingdom don't even include the line of dwarves who built the Fetal Movement Palace."

Flint: "Maybe I know. It's just that I was a dwarf who was born in the dwarf area of ​​​​the human country, so I don't know these things. When we pass by the metropolis of the Mountain Kingdom, we can go down and ask. We dwarves like to keep historical records most. The archives of the Mountain Kingdom contain hundreds of years of records.

"By the way, this also proves that the legend of the Eight Peaks may be just a legend. After all, there is no such thing in the official records."

Marika: "Maybe Eight Peaks was the dwarf capital thousands of years ago, or even the capital of the previous era."

Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, the eras of your civilized world are divided by the interruption of civilization due to natural disasters, right? Will we also become a new era this time?"

Wang: "Then it depends on the result of our struggle. If Ragnola falls and is driven back without causing any damage, then it probably won't happen. Our statues will be erected around the world and our songs will be sung."

Xiaobai: "It sounds pretty good."

Wang: "If we don't do it well, or even fail, and the world is destroyed, then a new era of civilization may appear tens of thousands of years later, and everything we are familiar with now will become the legend of the new era. Oh, by the way, the humans of the new era There were probably six heads and cysts all over his body.”

"Ugh." Elizabeth shrank her neck, "That's disgusting. Let's just kill Ragnola."

While saying this, she glanced at the evil star in the sky - now in the early morning when the sun is not strong, the evil star can also be seen.
