Chapter 319: Silas's Layout
Behemoth, the great beast recorded in the book of Job in the Old Testament: "Behemoth, and behold the hippopotamus, and I have made you and behemoth, and it eats grass like an ox, and its strength is in its loins, and its strength is in the sinews of its belly." Its tail is as straight as a fir tree, its muscles are as strong as stone, and its bones are as hard as copper and iron. The river is overflowing, and it does not fight, even if the waters of the Jordan River rise to its mouth, it is safe. ”
Although they had not yet met Behemoth, nor did they know the spirit of the other party's words, since it could be tied with Leviathan in mythology, its strength was also doubtful.
However, fortunately, their spirit also has a certain advantage when facing the dragon genus such as the King of the Sea and Water and their subspecies.
Schneider and Chu Zihang's Spirit of Words are both Monarch Flames, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees can at least help them immunity to the Emperor of Words and Ice. The second is Susie's Spirit of Words, the Sword Master, which was reflected in the last time she faced Constantine's Bronze Serpent-faced soldier.
Seemingly using the mind to manipulate metal, the Spirit of the Sword actually uses the field to manipulate the magnetic field, which is densely covered with magnetic field lines, which can magnetize metal objects, and the metal objects after magnetization move and accelerate along the magnetic field lines, causing an effect similar to that of mind controlling metal objects.
The principle of the Sword is magnetism, and materials containing metal elements such as iron, cobalt, and nickel are ferromagnetic in the greenhouse, making them the easiest items to control. However, once these metal objects are heated above the Curie temperature, they lose their ferromagnetism, so those spirits that can cause high temperatures are the nemesis of the spirits of words.
But in the same way, in a low temperature environment, more metal elements will show ferromagnetism that they do not have, so the sword will be more powerful and accurate in a lower temperature environment. The only things that are immune to the effects of the Spirit of Words and Blades are recycled metals, and a very small number of ultra-stable metals and special alloys, such as austenitic stainless steels in modern materials.
And in the extremely cold environment in the depths of the Arctic Circle, even those bronze that are extremely weak in electromagnetism at room temperature can become weapons in Susie's hands, and this time Susie is no longer just twelve alchemy flying swords, but dozens of various alloy swords forged by the equipment department, all of which are stored in the storage warehouse behind the snowmobile.
It's a pity that if Eri and Zero are also ......
As a super high-risk spirit with serial number 111, Eri's Speech Spirit Judgment is simply a nuclear-level weapon of destruction after overcoming the erosion of its own bloodline, even if it is the first generation, it does not dare to underestimate it, especially after the only White King who can cancel this kind of speech spirit is completely dead.
As for Zero, she has the Blood Seal Mirror Child, whether she copies Susie's Speech Spirit Sword Emperor or Chu Zihang's Speech Spirit Jun Yan, she can play a great role in the battle situation. It's a pity that Zero, who repelled Lancelot, left the Kassel Academy with the female ninja named Mai Sakatoku, and no one knows where they went, not even Eva, but they should be returning to Mao.
As for which organization Mai Jiude works for, Eva has no way of knowing, and she doesn't even know what other companions Mai Jiude has, so she doesn't know anything about it.
This is almost impossible for Eva, as long as Eva has the heart to investigate, it is almost impossible to have people and organizations that cannot be traced, but the result is so shocking that even the school board began to wonder if there was something wrong with Eva's system, and specially sent someone to EVA's computer room to overhaul it, and checked Eva's hub, but found no problems.
Turing, who was originally the father of the computer, planned to overhaul Eva himself, but overhauling Eva required shutting down Eva for at least a week, during which everything needed to be handled manually. And the encirclement and suppression plan of the king of the sea and water is just around the corner, so the secret party can only temporarily postpone the maintenance plan.
Of course, these possible problems did not affect the mission, and Eva's abilities were well recognized. Based on the real-time satellite map provided by Eva, Schneider and the others avoided a snowstorm and smoothly arrived at the place where they had hired a guide on their last trip to Greenland.
This time it was not the middle-aged Inuit man hired last time, according to the description of the newly hired guide on the phone, the middle-aged Inuit man took his daughter out to teach her to hunt, but he didn't come back.
Due to the scarcity of the Inuit population, the families are relatively united. Although it is not enough to treat other people's children as their own, but whenever Xue is home alone, everyone will take turns to take her home to take care of her. Although the well-behaved and sensible Xue later became a little taciturn, she would also help the adults who took care of her to do what she could, so Xue was usually very popular with the villagers. So the middle-aged man and Xue haven't come back for so long, and the big guy can't help but feel worried.
A team of forty people was organized in the village, and the search began in the center of the village.
The search was fast, after all, they were all experienced hunters who had lived here for decades, and they only had to think about where they would take their children to learn to hunt, and there were only five or six hunting spots that were not far away and slightly safer this season.
Soon, a team of ten people found the hunting area where the father and daughter had been, but they found only a group of sled dogs frozen to the ground, the puddle of blood on the ground, the long strips of blood that had been dragged to the glacier cleft, and the fur coats that looked like they had been scratched by their claws.
Judging from the traces at the scene, the father and daughter should have encountered some kind of beast and then killed, which inevitably made everyone feel disappointed and sad. But more of it was fear, because of the sled dogs that had turned into ice.
Although the Inuit were not blood-drinking savages and used all kinds of modern vehicles and electronics, they were still superstitious at heart, believing that the beast that killed the father and daughter was some kind of elf, especially since it came from the shaman of their village.
In the mythological system of the Inuit, there are many powerful elves, and their status is comparable to that of the gods in the mythological system, believing that rain, snow, wind, sea, and even animals are controlled by the spirit of qi Sila () and the moon spirit Takkik (Takkik), perhaps the father and daughter accidentally hunted some animals that should not be hunted, causing the anger of the elves.
Although in mythology, the elves are mostly friendly to people, they can also be very ruthless at times, especially the sea elves, who are very sensitive to the mistakes made by humans and punish them with bad weather, failed hunts, attacks by wild beasts, and diseases. People take refuge from disasters by chanting mantras, carrying masks and amulets, or changing their shamans.
As a result, shamans held a high position in the Inuit people, and when shamans made such inferences, people also chose to believe it, and followed the shaman to recite a mantra and pray to the elves to calm their anger for three consecutive days in the place where the father and daughter were killed.
Schneider frowned slightly after listening to the guide's narration of the rather strange "story", and he keenly smelled a trace of unusual breath from this "story".
It wasn't surprising that the sled dogs turned into ice withers, apparently by the Leviathan or the unmet Behemoth, or the Lord of the Sea and Water behind them, but what struck him as strange was the fur coat and blood stains on the ground from the beasts of the father and daughter......
Although dragons are very similar to reptiles, they rarely eat people. From various classics, it can be learned that the civilization of the dragon clan is also quite advanced, and the alchemy used by the dragons has created a lot of magical tools for them, and those tools are even human beings with modern civilization, whether they use technology or alchemy, they cannot make imitations with similar effects.
Dragons are more like omnivores, in some ways, eating everything from meat, vegetables and fruits to rice as a tribute to humans, and dragons with a certain intelligence even refuse to eat raw food and only cooked food. As for cannibalism, although it is not excluded that a few dragons have these hobbies, normal dragons will never eat people.
The so-called rumor of dragon cannibalism is nothing more than someone accidentally bumping into a few dragons with special food preferences, and then other humans don't know the truth to spread the truth, but even if there are a few ogres among humans, isn't it? The reason why this theory was eventually widely spread was also deliberately spread by the people who fought against the dragons in ancient times in order to boost the morale of the humans who fought against the dragons, and even the secret party itself refuted the rumors, and even explained it in the textbook of the course "Dragon Biology" at the Kassel Academy.
So, Schneider felt that the death of the father and daughter seemed somewhat unusual.
Leviathan definitely doesn't eat people, and this is all too clear to him when he fights Leviathan head-on and even shoots and wounds Leviathan. And the twin sons of the king of the sea and water, the kind of king who is high above, will have this hobby of cannibalism?
Schneider shook his head, he felt that this possibility, although not completely ruled out, was very small.
Could it be the suspected but untraceable Behemoth?
Schneider suggested to the new guide that he wanted to pay homage to the place where the father and daughter were killed, on the grounds that the middle-aged man had served as the guide the last time he had visited, and that the cooperation between the two sides was very "pleasant". However, the guide said that it had become a forbidden area, and no one dared to take them there, and Schneider did not force it.
After all, the father and daughter have been in trouble for a long time, and even if there are any traces, they should be covered by ice and snow, and the probability of not being able to find useful clues is too low, and he doesn't want to make enemies with this Inuit guide.
After a while, the guide packed his luggage and was just about to set off with Schneider, when a gust of wind swept in, accompanied by a goose-feather snow falling from the sky.
"Oh my God, it's bad weather, Mr. Schneider, I'm afraid you're going to have to stay in the village for a while."
The Inuit guide shook his head, but his expression was composed.
This year, the temperature has dropped significantly, and the blizzards are much more frequent than usual. Not to mention the situation that he had to stay in the village temporarily in a snowstorm before departure, and he experienced it many times as a senior guide, which is not surprising. And he can also earn a sum of money from Schneider and others for food and accommodation, so his mood has become a little happier because of the coming of the snowstorm.
Outside the village of Inuit, two figures, a man and a woman, were suspended in mid-air, hidden in the blizzard, and even Eva's satellites could not observe their presence.
"Silas, why don't you just kill them?" The petite but majestic girl asked.
Silas smiled and looked down at the village below: "What's the use of killing them?" It's just a swarm of ants. ”
"We have a lot of enemies this time, you should feel it, the slut Jörmungandr and the fool Fenrir have arrived, and the human who killed Odin."
Sedna nodded expressionlessly, with a cold expression: "Yermungad's aura is very strong, and now she may be able to compete with the two of us alone." Fenrir felt more demented than he looked thousands of years ago, but his strength hadn't faded by a point, and he was still the strongest of our eight twins. ”
"And the human, he ...... He's really strong...... So strong that I don't even think we have any hope of surviving in front of him. ”
Sedna gritted her teeth, even though she shouldn't have said such frustrating things as a monarch, it was a reality she couldn't escape.
"That's right, so in order to survive, we'll have to use some stratagem."
"For example?"
"I'm going to use these humans as bait to lure all our enemies here and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Silas's eyes were full of excitement, and he seemed to be sure of this matter.
Sedna didn't understand why Silas looked so confident, she couldn't think of any way to break the game after thinking about it for a long time, especially when it came to gathering all the enemies in one place.
"Not to mention how you managed to lure all the enemies here, even if you succeeded, all of them would only be stronger when they came together, and our odds would be lower. It's extremely difficult to break them one by one, but how do you plan to do it? ”
"When it's hot, it's a matter of little means."
"For example?"
Silas smiled slightly, with a hint of madness in his smile.
"For example...... Nine Infants! ”
