Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

In fact, since the suspicious gap in Professor Nauman's diary ten years ago, the research field of the husband and wife has not been limited to volcanology.

In order to have more time to do research, after the last batch of graduate students under their hands graduated with Ph.

In the end, both of them died in that lonely ghost place in Sammy.

This gave Li Ang the illusion that the long-term mission had just started, and they would follow the track of the Naumans' research and exploration all the way back to the source, and finally uncover the secret that they had been pursuing for more than ten years.

"Adele, let me see the notes left by my uncle, maybe I can find some other clues." Li Ang said.

There are some things that he has to confirm personally, maybe he can find some new clues from them.

"Well, wait a moment, I'll get the notes right now."

After waiting for a short time, Adele brought the notebook over.

But as soon as he got the notes, Li Ang discovered something completely different from before.

"Huh? This is..."

Li Ang had read this notebook before, but at that time the notebook was covered with blood, mud and other dirt, and Li Ang couldn't see the text hidden under the dirt.

Now after Adele's processing, the text on the notebook has been fully revealed.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it?"

Seeing Li Ang's strange reaction, Adele leaned over curiously.

"...I need to confirm some things first." Li Ang said, "Adele, can you copy the text in the notebook again? It doesn't need to be too much, as long as the content on the first page is fine."

"Copy it again? Okay..."

Although she was a little puzzled as to why Li Ang made such a strange request, Adele agreed without any hesitation, because Li Ang had never done anything meaningless.

Soon, Adele was on the desk beside her, transcribing the contents of the first page of the notebook.

"Here you are." Adele handed her transcribed content together with the notebook to Li Ang, "But I don't know how to write this kind of text, so I can only draw it in imitation of it."

Just like foreigners who don't understand Chinese write Chinese characters, they can only draw bit by bit according to the shape of the characters. The characters written in this way may be very strange in the eyes of people who understand Chinese characters.

But now they don't understand the Sarkaz rites, as long as they look similar is enough.

"It's okay, I just want to confirm one thing."

After taking what Adele handed over and comparing the two in the field of perception, the difference is clearly revealed.

"Sure enough, what uncle wrote down is not just a written record... If I guessed correctly, there should be a map hidden in these words."

"Map?! How could there be a map hidden here?"

Adele's surprise was completely written on her face, not because she didn't believe what Li Ang said, but because what Li Ang said just now was really unbelievable.

In these simple symbolic words... How can I hide a map?

"Because what I see is different from yours." Li Ang pointed to his closed eyes and said, "Didn't Shining only grasp a little bit about this kind of writing? Maybe, this is the way I am." correct interpretation of the text."

In Li Ang's field of vision, these symbols on the notebook seemed to come alive. Right above the pages of the notebook, they formed a three-dimensional picture scroll. Li Ang could vaguely distinguish the traces of the mountains and roads from above, from different angles Looking at it, Li Ang can even see the gap between the high and low terrain.

Not surprisingly, this is a very small part of a complete map.

Sarkaz sacrificial oration... This kind of text itself has magical power, and it is definitely not something that can be written simply by imitating the shape.

And Li Ang's perception horizon...According to Adams, this is the 'power' he got from the will of the origin stone, so that he can trigger the hidden meaning of the Sarkaz ritual without knowing the correct method.

On the contrary, it was the words copied by Adele, which Li Ang could not see very clearly.

"In short, we have to find a way to find a map of Sami and see if we can find the corresponding location on the map."

If the location indicated by this hidden map is not in Sami... then things will be a little troublesome.

I'm afraid they can only temporarily stop their plan to go to Sami, what position do these pictures represent.

Chapter 10 Before leaving

This is a very important discovery for Li Ang and Adele.

After visiting Ryan and confirming that there was no other abnormality in his body after waking up, Li Ang and Adele bid farewell to their couple and began intensive preparations for the things they will need next.

First of all, the most important thing is a map of Sami. Through the internal channels of the Supervisory Committee, Li Ang obtained a military map drawn by Ursus when they invaded Sami during the war more than ten years ago.

Back then, Ursus wanted to go to war against all the surrounding countries at the same time, so Casimir also seized a lot of their military supplies.

Although the various markers on this map have not been updated for a long time, for them, the accuracy of this map is enough, and even far exceeds their needs.

Most people live in mobile cities all their lives. Even if they occasionally travel to other mobile cities, they will stick together under the protection of various security agencies and follow the reliable routes they have developed.

But for people or organizations who can use maps, a reliable map is their most basic guarantee.

This is also the first time for Adele to experience the power of a group. If it weren't for the supervision committee, ordinary people would never be able to get this kind of thing. At most, they can get some hand-drawn maps with ridiculously poor accuracy.

Fortunately, the part of the road map found from the notes is indeed located in Sami territory.

After some comparison, Li Ang finally found a mountain range with similar terrain in the corner of the map.

The name marked on the map there is 'Skadino', which means 'the darkest place' in the local Sami language, and the final destination of the Nauman couple is there.

In addition to this road map into the mountains, Li Ang also looked at other parts of the notebook, and some images can also be seen on it, but because the text there has not been deciphered, Li Ang can't know the specifics of those images just by guessing. significance.

Therefore, their next goal is the Sami territory, the mountain range at the northernmost tip of the world.

For this they have to prepare many, many things.

Originally, Adele once suggested that she should wait until next summer when the weather gets warmer before heading to Sami. By then, Sami's climate will be more suitable for human activities than it is now.

But Li Ang didn't agree with Adele's idea.

"If I'm not mistaken, Uncle and the others set off around this season." Li Ang recalled the content in the notebook, and said, "Have you ever wondered why they chose this coldest time to go to SA? rice?"

"This..." Adele opened her mouth in surprise, she had never thought in this direction.

Indeed, the environment of Sami in the wild in winter is extremely harsh. Even Li Ang, a layman, knows it. People like the Naumans who often do scientific research outside don't know?

If you think about it this way, it would be an extremely abnormal thing for them to go deep into Sami at this time.

"Perhaps, they have a reason to go there at such a time."

For example, passages that often appear in stories only appear at a certain time period, or in other words, only in this harsh season is the really suitable time to go deep into that mountain range.

Li Ang and the others knew nothing about the Skadino Mountains. In order to avoid this opportunity, they ended up directly and completely replicating the practice of the Naumans and entering Sami at the coldest time of the year.

"By the way, Adele, what are your requirements for the protective clothing? Do you want something lighter, or better defensive performance? Or other conditions, such as appearance."

"Why do you ask this?" Adele asked a little strangely.

"Because, I plan to use the time before departure to help you prepare a set of protective clothing. Our journey will not be easy. Ordinary clothes... are not suitable for entering that kind of place." Li Ang replied.

What Adele is wearing now is a set of clothes produced by EPOQUE company. On the premise of keeping warm, this set of clothes looks quite good... This is what Sarah told Li Ang, and he can't help it See how this differs from normal clothes.

This suit is adequate for the moving city, but if you're leaving the city, it's best to change into a specially designed outfit, such as the infamous 'Land of Life' collection.

But where they are going next, the environment is so extreme that it is necessary to use 'protective clothing', where the average temperature is below minus [-] degrees, which can treat all dissatisfaction, although both of them can use the origin stone skills related to flames, But if you have protective clothing, you can still save a lot of effort.

"Is that so..."

Adele thought for a while, and then replied, "I don't have any requirements for appearance. It's better to focus on performance, but it's best not to weigh more than [-] kilograms. If it is heavier, it will affect my normal actions."

The physical fitness of the people in the world of Terra is much stronger than that of the people on the earth. A weak girl like Adele can run around with things weighing [-] to [-] kilograms on her back. After two steps, I was out of breath.

"I see, I will help you choose a suitable protective suit as soon as possible." Li Ang nodded and replied.

Now that I want to customize a set of protective clothing, it is too late. Fortunately, Casimir is also located in the frigid zone. There is no market for this type of protective clothing. Some of the top protective clothing can achieve similar effects. Li Ang I already have two similar choices in my mind, and I can ask someone to ask if there is any stock later.

Li Ang wasn't that troublesome. After Director A repaired his armor, he could set off directly.

That suit of armor is also designed to cope with extreme environments. The disadvantage is that it needs to consume origin stone energy during operation and release a lot of heat. Once it overheats, it must be shut down for cooling. However, this defect is not a problem at all in Sami's environment. , it must be able to heat up if it wants to overheat.

And compared with the protective clothing, the defensive performance of the armor will crush all the protective clothing. If Li Ang remembers correctly, the area where the 'heterogeneous' lives... is the northern part of the continent of Terra.

"Then... I'll prepare the consumables that I can use."

Thus, Li Ang and Adele completed the division of labor in this way, preparing for their next trip.

Time passed slowly, and after about four or five days, they almost got together the things they needed.

Chapter 11 Protect her

This morning, everyone came to the Linguang's manor to see off Li Ang and Adele who were about to leave.

"This suit is ugly,"

While helping Adele to organize the protective clothing on her body, Sarah complained, "Look at what we have done to our lovely Adele."

Because an agreement had been reached between Li Ang and the Grand Knight Commander, there was no need to worry about threats from Letania, so Sarah called out Adele's name openly.

After learning of what happened to Adele, the Adeles and the apostles, who had been kept a secret for a while, all expressed their understanding, and they were also willing to provide help within their ability for their next actions.

In fact, they helped a lot in preparing the necessities.

Although Adele often conducts field surveys outside, she is really too young, and no matter how much experience she has, it is impossible to have as much experience as Shining, Manna, and Ren.

Shining also suggested that if Liz's physical condition could improve, she would accompany Li Ang to Sami.

But with Liz's physical condition, it would take at least two or three months to recuperate. Li Ang and the others couldn't wait that long, so they had to give up in the end.

At the same time, Shining also warned them that it is best to hire an experienced guide. There are far more threats in the ice field and snow mountains than imagined. A rookie who hasn't set foot in that environment.

But as for the guide...you can only find them after they enter Sami.

Faced with Sarah's complaints, Li Ang shrugged helplessly, "There is no way to do this. If you want to balance performance and appearance...it is very difficult to do, and this is not a customized product, it can only be temporarily That's it for now."

There are not many protective clothing to deal with this extreme environment. In the end, Li Ang chose the "Trailblazer" series of protective clothing from the "Raytheon" company. Compared with the Trailblazer, other concentrated products have more or less defects.

It's just that the Pioneer series has a flaw. The appearance of this series of protective clothing... To be honest, it's not flattering.

"It's nothing, Sister Sarah, this protective suit is not that ugly."

After putting on the protective clothing, Adele slightly adjusted her awkward position and said.

From the outside, Adele seems to be fatter than before, and the whole person looks chubby. If you look closely, she is actually quite cute, and she is not as ugly as Sarah said.

"Besides, if you're in the mountains, no one will care about such things, right?"

Hearing this, Sarah paused, opened her arms and hugged Adele, and said in a slightly complicated tone, "Adele, you haven't understood what I mean, but I actually don't want you to go there. "

Whether it is Ryan or Sarah, both of them actually strongly oppose Adele's going to Sami, but Adele's will is very firm.

After a few months of deliberation, I almost gave up several times in the middle, and now I have finally made a difficult decision. How can this kind of thinking be easily changed by others?

"Sister Sarah, I..." Adele was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Oh, I know." Sarah sighed, and touched Adele's head helplessly, "No matter what I say, you will still go there, right?"

"……Um."

Knowing that they can't change Adele's thoughts, Sarah and the others say they disagree, but their actual actions have always supported Adele's decision.

Less than a day after Ryan was discharged from the hospital, Sarah saw that he was so energetic, so she mercilessly directed him to help Adele run errands. Poor Ryan didn't even have a day to rest, so she could only listen to Sarah. Ra ordered to run around the city.

In fact, there are many things that Ryan helped to buy back.

"They're starting again."

With a 'dong' sound, Ren placed a big box at Li Ang's feet heavily, and said with some emotion, "They look like this every day, and they really don't get tired of it."

"This is what you want. Some are hard to find, so I can only buy these." Ren pointed to the box on the ground and said.

"It's really bothering you."

"It's nothing," Ren shook his head. "That's all I can help you with now."

Afterwards, Ren hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Li Ang, although it may be redundant for me to say this, you must protect that girl well..."

"Of course, I won't let Adele suffer any harm."

Isn't this what Li Ang has been doing all along?In the future, he wants to go on with this girl.

After that, Li Ang quietly left the room.

This was the last time they stayed in Casimir, so Li Ang didn't bother Adele, leaving space for her and Sarah.

Moreover, Li Ang still has a few last things left unresolved.

After two laps in Linguang Manor, Li Ang found Shining, who was taking care of the bedridden Liz.
