"What's wrong?"
Herman and Eugene looked at Kirk with a sad face.Kirk told the two heads of the house the cynicism he had just heard, and suggested, "Why don't we fire those racist guys?"
”Herman frowned when he heard this, "If you do this, there will be a trick in their mouths, and we will become racists." ”Eugene nodded and confirmed, "That's right, this is just a quick solution, and it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, not only a handle, but also a big deal."
The brand image we had built up so hard collapsed. ”Kirk crossed his waist and pointed at Herman and said, "I don't care, I don't want to have such a person in our family business anyway."
Ideas will spread, and most employees remember us well now, but it doesn't mean that they will be like this in the future. ”Herman couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, Kirk's words naturally had her sense, and Herman also understood the reason why she said this."
That's right, Kirk, you go back first today, and I'll discuss with my eldest brother how to deal with it, okay?"
Kirk is not a person who admits to death and is messing around, so he gave Herman a blank look and went back on his own.Herman smoked his pipe worriedly and glanced at Eugene, "What do you say?"
”Eugene spread his hands helplessly, "How can we solve the problems that have not been solved for so many years in ancient and modern times?"
”"Or, hold a wave of staff meetings first?
On the surface, we don't name and scold, but we can condemn it. ”Herman had an idea and suggested."
It's a good idea, come on, let's sketch out what to say."———— climbing up the ice sheet, the two extremes of temperature form a strange difference.At the foot of Katla Volcano, the ice sheet is covered with snow and fog, but by the time you reach the mountainside, you can already sweat.At this time, there were only two people who went up the mountain, Jobbutran and the mouse, and the fat man was not equipped, so he stayed at the bottom of the mountain as a response in case of accidents."
Lord Chobuteran, go further and put on protective gear."
The mouse wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief and stopped leading the way."
How long is it until the black ice cave we're going to?"
Jobuterron asked.He glanced at the gloomy sky, and the thick black smoke from the volcano seemed to fill the air with the smell of sulfur."
If you go up another 300 meters, you will reach the location of the black ice cave.Before exploring the Black Ice Cave, you'll have to change into another set of equipment. ”The mouse patiently explained, and then casually shook the bag in his hand, "And when it matters, maybe you will need these treasures." ”“。。。
Won't you blow up the black powder like this?
”Jo Butlet gave the mouse a blank look and said angrily."
Hehe, I removed all the leads before I came over, and now it's okay to shake it."
The mouse smirked."
Pick it up, just in case."
Jobuterrand looked up solemnly at the black ice cave known to the Icelandic people as the 'Devil's Throat' on the slope not far from the ridge.The lower ground is covered with a thin layer of ice, and snow boots alone are not enough to climb up, and you have to rely on crampons and ropes left by your predecessors to climb up steadily.If you look down from the middle of the mountain, you will find that you are far away from the world inhabited by humans, and there is no other scenery except for the snow.Jobbuterrand began to wonder the fact that the legendary village existed.The sun was hanging lower and lower in the sky, and there wasn't much daylight, so the two of them had to complete this adventure before the sun went down, otherwise it would be a very unwise choice to camp in the temperatures close to minus twenty degrees at night.The mountains of Katla Volcano are meandering, but on this mysterious island of Iceland, Katla Volcano is even more mysterious.The spikes of black smoke towered gloomily in the shadows, and the sunlight through the black smoke cast a reddish glow on the white ice, like blood, but not blood.The wind from the north swept intermittently across the desolate ridge, and the screech of the witch Katla seemed to be in the bitter wind, making the rat restless, but Jobron's presence reassured him.The two of them stopped and walked, and the higher they went, the more the wind added obstacles to the two of them.The rats found a sheltered rock wall, and the two of them lit a fire in the same place to recuperate.Chobuterrand, who was roasting the fire, was silent, and the mouse looked at Jobbutrand's face and noticed that he seemed to have something on his mind."
What are you thinking, my lord?"
The rat asked with concern."
Coincidence."
Joke Trand recalled the burnt oil painting on the Cookropes in the captain's room.The same gloom, the same oppression, except that the vague but magnificent city that has not yet been found, the Katla volcano seems to meet the gist of it.The eternal silence of white, red, and black is intertwined, as real as a dream, but with a frightening and oppressive atmosphere."
Is this what you want me to explore, Nyaratotip?"
Jobuterrand muttered to himself.When the mouse inadvertently heard the name Nyaratotip, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and pulled the warm clothes made of heavy fur on his body with his hands.The two fell into an awkward silence as the mouse reached out his gloved hand and gently brushed the snow from the ground, revealing the rock formations underneath."
Huh?""
What's wrong?""
Master Chobutron, come and have a look."
The rat first stood up, took out a brush from his backpack, and then carefully lay on the ground, gently sweeping it with the brush, as if restoring a precious archaeological object.Seeing the mouse's solemn expression, Jobuterrand walked over to the mouse, crouched down, and took a closer look."
We're at Katla Volcano, right?"
The rat muttered to himself.Jobuterrand rolled his eyes, "Are you a tour guide or am I a tour guide?"
”"Master Jot Brown, do you know anything about the surface structure of volcanoes?"
The mouse said seriously with a straight face."
Probably know.The surface structure should be basalt, tuff, agglomerate and breccia, and the type of rock will be determined according to the activity of the volcano due to the large amount of volcanic debris that will flow out after the eruption.What's wrong?
Did you find anything here?
”Jot Brown recalls the material he memorized in order to disguise himself as an archaeology exchange student, and tells all he knows.The rat nodded excitedly, "You're right, but this piece of rock under our feet isn't any of the kind of rock you're talking about.Nor is it andesite or rhyolite that the magma contains.See these stripes?
I have reason to believe that this piece of our feet is the most historically monumental discovery in human geology!
This should be a complete piece of graphite. ”Jobuterron frowned, pulled out the knife he had with him, and slashed it on the ground.Zila!
As soon as the knife fell, the rock on the ground did not move, but the knife in Jot Brown's hand collapsed into a gap."
Graphite doesn't have that hardness, right?
It takes a mineral such as corundum or diamond to break up a synthetic gang with a hardness of six. ”The mouse's eyes became fiery, and he gently touched the ground, a little excited, and a little dazed."
Of course, ordinary graphite doesn't have this strength, but this one is different.Look at the opaque and greasy material, the dark color, and the dust stuck to my gloves.Such treasures have only been hidden under people's noses, obscured by heavy snow and fear of volcanoes.I believe that this material can disrupt the existing manufacturing market and spread to people's lives. ”1 When Jobtron heard this, his heart trembled, "Do you think this is a naturally formed material?"

”The mouse looked up and was speechless for a moment."
Maybe...Right?
”Chobuterrand shook his head, walked over to the rock wall, and waved his hand.The snow on the rock wall fell to the ground, revealing the true face behind it."
Even this whole piece is made of the same material, do you still naively think that it will be natural?"
Jobuterrand couldn't bear the excitement of beating the rats, but the truth at this time was so cruel that he couldn't bear to ignore it."
What is impossible under the magic of nature?"
The rat walked to the rock wall and reached out to touch it gently.Even through his gloves, he could still feel the chill coming from the graphite layer.Jobuterron sighed, "Then can you explain how this came about?"
”On the rock wall, there is a five-pointed star pattern surrounded by eight tentacles, which are connected to form a circle.The ends of the tentacles extend in different directions, like the gossip that the Oriental alchemists hold in the palm of their hands all year round.The inner circle of the tentacle has two pairs of hideous bat wings, and in the center of the pentagram there is an open eye.The strange patterns on the rock wall are so natural that if you don't look closely, you can easily ignore the past."
What is this?!"
The mouse recoiled in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief."
What's the weight of this?
The key issue is that this pattern cannot appear on the rock wall out of thin air.Unless... ”"It's really not a natural material, it's artificially made."
The rat muttered to himself."
Well, it doesn't have to be people.So far, human civilization has not had enough advanced technology to develop such materials.Maybe it won't be possible until decades later?
”Jobbutran smiled bitterly, and at this time, Umr's long-lost voice sounded in his head."
The sigil of the old gods.A seal that drives away evil beings.It was used by the Ancients against the Cthulhu invasion. ”Jobutron's smile froze, and then he immediately remembered the imprint in front of him.The sigil that can be used against an old ruler of Cthulhu's level obviously has some evil warding effect, and it may be possible to use it in the future."
Rats come here."
Chobuterron took out a pen from his backpack and drew an imprint on the mouse's hand that was identical to the one on the rock wall."
Maybe when it matters, this thing will work better than black powder."
Jobuterron said with a self-deprecation."
What the hell is this?"
The mouse said suspiciously."
Think of it as a protective charm left over from prehistoric civilizations.If you're scared, you can stay.As we had agreed, you don't have to follow me on an adventure. ”After Jobron had made a mark on his hand, he straightened himself up and prepared to continue climbing.The rat did not reply, but stepped on the campfire, took his bags and walked silently ahead.The corners of Jobbutron's mouth raised, and he stepped forward and patted the mouse on the shoulder, "Okay, double your salary." ”The rat turned around and said earnestly to Jobbutrean, "It doesn't matter if the salary is not paid or not.When this adventure is over, can you teach me something about the mystical side?
I wanted to know what was killing my family. ”"It's even more dangerous, are you sure?"
Jobuterrand asked solemnly."
I've been swept up by you, do you think I have a way out?"
The rat put on a rogue look and spread his hands."
Apprentices?
I didn't expect to be at this age. ”Jobuterrand sneered, remembering the days of training day and night under Arnold, and the crybaby Tristhene who never seemed to grow up."
Let's live until then, boy."
The two continued to walk forward against the bitter cold wind, by which time the sun had begun to set, as if hope was about to fall.The further you go up the mountain, the more you can see that oppressive black, the black from graphite.It took two people more than two hours on this mountain to reach the legendary black ice cave in a short distance of 300 meters on the flat ground.Just standing at the entrance of the black ice cave, you can already feel the seeping frost feeling, and the sound of the mountain wind shuttling in the black ice cave echoes in your ears.Jobuterron resolutely walked in.He stood at the entrance of the cave, holding aloft the only kerosene lamp that could be used for lighting in the black ice cave, carefully examining the ice around him.The regular outline of the entrance to the cave made Giobuterrand a little confused, the general ice cave is usually semi-circular, but here it is neat and square, like a natural cave has been forcibly shaped into a more regular and symmetrical shape by a magical hand.There are no stalactites or stalagmites growing in the black ice cave, but more like a smooth, smooth and smooth passage that has been artificially grounded; Looking through the entrance of the cave is like seeing the extremely complex structure of the cave inside.These complex structures seem to form a beehive-like three-dimensional structure.As the rat said earlier, the surface of the ice here is covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, which causes the ice to reflect a deep dark color.I don't know if the yellow light of the kerosene lamp caused the reflection of the ice, but there were some light green spots of light in the ice under my feet, which looked like some talc.The crevices and craters in the surrounding ice seem to have formed some kind of unusual shape.The gentle breeze will be spread by the malice in the black ice cave, arousing the fear of human beings for those ancient myths in the forbidden texts, and making people feel disgusted and terrifying associations in their hearts.Everything here is full of anomalous meanings, like the big mouth of a demon, waiting for the two to be swallowed up by the endless darkness.It's a devouring labyrinth.
