Verse 438: The Key to the World
Last...... Checking?
Although he didn't know what Lancelot's words meant, Norman still subconsciously took out the astrolabe - returning to the mainland was too important, so Shen Junzhu finally handed over the astrolabe.
After seeing Norman take out the astrolabe, Lancelot said again, "Zoom in." ”
Norman threw the astrolabe out of his hand, and after reciting the mantra silently, the astrolabe grew in the wind, and suddenly it was the size of three or four tabletops, floating and slowly spinning in the air.
Norman had seen the astrolabe as early as the time of Chongxiao Pass, and at that time the astrolabe was only the size of a human face disk. At that time, he also wondered, if the astrolabe was only that big, it was indeed enough for humans, but it was too small for the dragon clan, and it was really difficult to control, did he have to transform into a human form every time he used the dragon clan? Later, after Shen Junzhu handed the astrolabe to him and taught him how to use the astrolabe, he finally knew that the astrolabe could still be larger.
The inexplicable line patterns on the astrolabe looked incomparably complex, but after enlargement, not only are they not easier to understand, but they are more detailed and more complex.
Norman's actions also made the other three dragons puzzled.
Chen Qinghe asked, "What are you going to do here?" but Norman ignored him, pretending not to hear.
In fact, Norman really didn't know how to respond, because he himself was now full of question marks, and he didn't know what the Templars were trying to do, so he could only stare at the astrolabe in front of him with a solemn expression and not say a word.
Seeing Norman's troubled appearance, the atmosphere seemed to be solemn for a while, and Chen Qinghe and they didn't feel good to speak again, so they could only close their mouths and stare at the astrolabe with Norman. However, the astrolabe is too complicated, and even if the dragon clan has studied it for thousands of years, it has not been able to understand all of it, and only some public uses such as teleportation and sound transmission have been developed, so after Chen Qinghe and they watched it for a long time, except for feeling dizzy, they couldn't see any other fart.
And at this moment, Lancelot's voice sounded in Norman's heart again.
"The data is quite large, and it will take some time to check the calculation, so please be patient. ”
What exactly is this checking?
Norman wanted to ask immediately, but with Chen Qinghe around, he was really inconvenient to ask, so he had to express his question in sign language.
If Norman suddenly made strange movements in normal times, Chen Qinghe and they would definitely be suspicious, but in the current atmosphere of mysticism created by Norman, Norman's series of actions seemed to Chen Qinghe to be operating the astrolabe, which would only be more like that, but they were not suspicious, which was why Norman dared to communicate with Lancelot in sign language in front of everyone.
Seeing Norman's gesture, Lancelot replied, "This is the geographical environment data recorded in the astrolabe. ”
What is the geographical environment data recorded in the astrolabe?
Another question flashed through Norman's mind, and this time Lancelot had already answered it in detail before he could express it with a gesture.
"According to our repeated calculations and comparisons in the past few days, the real role of the astrolabe should be to record the geographical and astronomical information of this world. All the information of the world you are in is recorded on this small astrolabe, which has been basically confirmed in our data comparison in the past few days, Francis, Nicaro, the realm of the Northland, and even the location, shape, and scope of the moat, etc., can find the corresponding information unit on the astrolabe. ”
"In a sense, the astrolabe is arguably the most precious ultimate artifact we've ever discovered, the key to the world! As for the effects of teleportation and sound transmission that they use, they are just small functions developed on this big foundation, and such a treasure falling into the hands of the dragon clan is completely tyrannical. ”
Key to the World......
Although the astrolabe is also the treasure of the dragon family, its functions are limited, and they are only some auxiliary functions, so the dragon family does not attach too much importance to it and cannot be called the treasure of the dragon family, so Norman can also get it in the name of returning to the mainland. However, in the eyes of the Templars, the astrolabe seemed to be a priceless treasure beyond all else, especially from Lancelot's words, which Norman felt even more acutely.
In Norman's impression, Lancelot had always been mild-mannered, and his choice of words was always calm, even in the most critical moments, and he had never heard such words as "too ignorant" and "tyrannical things" with strong personal emotions, and this was the first time he had ever heard from Lancelot.
Although I don't know why Lancelot looks excited, Norman basically understands what Lancelot said, but he doesn't understand what it has to do with his current situation.
Could it be that the Knights Templar had discovered a new course from the astrolabe?
Lancelot's next words answered Norman's doubts.
"The amount of data in the astrolabe is too large, and there are so many parts that need to be deciphered, which is a huge project for us, so we will put aside other things for the time being and concentrate on the Glorious Path project. And according to our search for the relevant parts of the astrolabe in the past few days, we have finally deciphered the part about the path of glory. ”
"According to the astrolabe data, the world you are in is indeed a sphere, and the frozen continent is at the center of the northernmost axis of rotation of this sphere. There is also relevant data for the Celestial Astrolabe in front of you, which is more than 300 kilometers long, of which 160 kilometers are covered on the frozen continent, and the other 100 are covered on the sea surface. ”
"If the data is finally verified, then it means that the path of glory is still feasible, and the only thing you need to do is to change slightly, from the upward to the downward in this area of more than 300 kilometers, that is, to drill and dive. As for the rest of the part, there is no need to worry, the astrolabe shows that the same windless belt also exists after more than 300 kilometers, reaching the southernmost part of the continent!"
Drill Diving ......
Drilling is not a problem for the white-robed mages present, but diving is a big problem!
According to Lancelot, the area covered by the moat is still more than 100 kilometers above the sea, which means that they have to pass at least 100 kilometers in the sea to do so, but what is the difference between this and going around the edge of the wall that connects the sky?
Norman's hand shook violently, passing his question to Lancelot, and the other three dragons looked even more solemn when they saw this scene.
In their opinion, Long Aotian had reached a critical moment in casting spells.
Lancelot immediately answered Norman's doubts: "According to the data we have, the body of the sea tribe is not specific, and they are likely to not be able to survive in such a low temperature environment, so the probability of sea tribe activity in the next hundred kilometers is only 13.7%, and when the temperature rises to a suitable environment for the sea tribe to live, the moat no longer exists, and it can fly from the air." ”
This sentence woke Norman, the man in his dream.
Yes, with such a low temperature, what other race can survive except the dragon race? Even the demon race that dominated the continent back then has frozen to death on this frozen continent, and the sea tribe is estimated to not survive.
After all his doubts were answered, Norman stopped asking questions, put his hands down, and just stared firmly at the astrolabe in front of him. This was partly because he had to pretend in front of the three dragons, and partly because he had nothing to do now waiting for the Knights Templar to come out.
Norman just stood still, and the other three dragons, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do, so I have to wait with Norman. I don't know if it's because of the large amount of data or whatever, the Templars' actions this time were particularly slow, and they didn't finish after waiting for half a day.
The three dragons, who hadn't eaten for days, were even hungry, and they cast spells to start eating: they conjured piles of magic biscuits and other food, and then cast various water spells to conjure up large quantities of edible water.
That's how they solved the problem of eating and drinking during these ten days.
To say that there are many benefits to becoming a mage, at least when the spell is successful, you will no longer have to worry about starving to death and dying of thirst, but it is not good in the long run, and it is easy to malnourish.
Norman watched them eat, and his stomach subconsciously felt hungry, but now he was pretending to cast a spell, and it was really not good to stop eating suddenly, so he had to pretend not to see it, and continued to stare at the astrolabe in front of him with a solemn face.
In this way, after the three dragons had finished eating and rested for a while, Lancelot's voice finally came.
"The data is correct, the verification is successful!"
