On the third day of sailing, the peaks of the world's mountains appeared on the skyline.

Xiaobai lay on the railing and looked at the mountains, and said: "I feel so short, we can fly casually." ”

Wang: "That's because it's a long distance, and when you get closer, you'll find that many places are like cliffs, and you can't fly through them at all." ”

"Will it?"

"I don't believe you, ask Nini."

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

Nini: "Actually, most of the peaks you see now are also high in our ship. It's just that...... It's just that the horizon blocks most of the mountain. ”

Xiaobai turned his head to look at Wang again: "Explain." ”

Wang: "You're getting more and more skillful at arousing me." I'm Kaylin's priest......"

Xiaobai: "Yes, yes, the praised, please explain. ”

Wang: "Garia is actually a sphere, the surface of the sphere is curved, and the mountain we see is blocked by the planet itself, but it is only a little bit at the tip. ”

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

Flint was having a drink in the morning, and when he heard Xiaobai's words, he sprayed directly.

Xiaobai: "Isn't that right? ”

"Yes," said the dwarf perfunctorily, "you look short because half of your body is in the dirt." ”

Wang: "This is something that can only happen from afar." In this way, you stand far away, and if you are far enough, we can only see your head. ”

Xiaobai: "It's like I'm buried in the ground?" ”

The king and the dwarf said in unison, "Yes." ”

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

After saying that, she turned into a bald eagle to take off, but Nini grabbed her claws: "No, that's it." When we get to the ground, you can fly away and look at us, and then you will see that the bottom half of our bodies are in the dirt. ”

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

Wang: "Yes, the ship shouldn't be able to fly through it, but it's not a wall, there's a low place for us to get through." The routes we open up will go down in history. ”

Flint: "Kill Shield Road by the way." ”

Elizabeth immediately showed a complicated expression, her family was so rich because the shield road and the shipping river were connected in her main city.

The shield road was almost the only way to cross the world's mountains in bulk outside of shipping, and the Langdon family, to which Elizabeth belonged, made a lot of money by relying on goods from the other side of the world and the specialties of the mountain kingdom.

Wang comforted: "The shipping capacity is small, and the bulk cargo will definitely take the shield road, which will not affect your family's financial resources." ”

As soon as Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, Marika said, "Your Highness may be promoted in the future, and he will no longer be a mortal, so why bother with this?" Even if the Langdons fall, people will remember that Elizabeth Langdon has soared. ”

Elizabeth: "Not necessarily. ”

She glanced at Wang crampedly, and the latter nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's hard to get the materials for upgrading, even considering that I can get a lot of points with theology-related papers, but the materials can't be exchanged for all of them with points."

"I'll probably have to go to the planes to find materials myself."

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

Xiaobai: "Why do I think what you're talking about isn't the same thing?" ”

Elizabeth nodded, "Definitely not." ”

Wang looked stunned: "Isn't it? ”

Xiaobai: "No. ”

Flint laughed, then choked on the wine.

**

Just one day later, the World Mountain Range, which had looked very short the day before, had grown a lot taller.

Xiaobai: "Has this come to an end?" It still looks very short. ”

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

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

Flint: "The Monument of the Peak, a stone monument left on the highest peak of the Eight Peaks at the height of the Mountain Kingdom, used to announce that we dwarves have conquered the highest place in the world. Do you know why the dwarfs' airships are called Leap Peak? That's what came for this monument. ”

Wang was speechless: "I thought that the Leap Peak was a name that came from another plane. The result is just to fly over the stone monument left by the dwarves. ”

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

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

Flint: "It's true that the Eight Peaks are there, but there is a question mark over whether the Dwarven Capital City below the Eight Peaks exists. Some scholars also believe that the capital of the Gunsan Kingdom has always been in the current capital, and the area controlled by the Gunsan Kingdom has always been so large.

"The eight underground cities below the Eight Peaks are just legends. The proof of this is that we have dug so many tunnels and opened up all the underground of the mountains, but we have not found a single mine that leads to the legendary Eight Peaks. ”

Wang: "You can't say that, the kingdom of the mountains doesn't know about the birth hall, does it?" I'm betting that in the official records of the Mountain Kingdom, there isn't even a dwarf who built the Fetal Temple. ”

Flint: "Maybe you know. It's just that I'm a dwarf born in the dwarven area of the human country, so I don't know any of this. When we pass through the metropolis of the mountain kingdom, we can go down and ask. We dwarves love to keep historical records the most, and the archives of the mountain kingdoms have left records for hundreds of years.

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

Marika: "Maybe the Eight Peaks was the dwarven capital of thousands of years ago, or maybe even the capital of the last century. ”

Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, the division of your civilized world in this era is bounded by the disconnection of civilization caused by natural disasters, right?" Will we also become a new era this time? ”

Wang: "It depends on the outcome of our struggle." If Ragnora had fallen and had been killed without any damage, it probably wouldn't have been. Statues of us are erected all over the world, and our songs are sung. ”

Xiaobai: "Sounds good. ”

Wang: "If we don't do a good job, or even fail, and the world is destroyed, then maybe a new era of civilization will appear in tens of thousands of years, and everything we are familiar with now will become the legend of the new era." Oh yes, the humans of the New Age may have six heads, and cysts all over their bodies. ”

"Wow." Elizabeth shrunk her neck, "It's disgusting, let's kill Ragnora." ”

As she said this, she glanced at the fierce star in the sky—now she could see it in the early morning when the sun was not violent.
