Chapter 821
After getting Tiera's approval, Jonathan Hadley immediately contacted other cars in the convoy through the intercom, and adjusted the convoy's driving direction through the navigation, heading towards George Crater.
Their convoy drove in the yellow sand, and the tires left shallow marks on the sand. There was silence all around, and only the faint whistling sound and the roar of the convoy when the wind blew through the desert.
As they got closer and closer to George Crater, a thin layer of sand and dust gradually floated in the sky, blocking the scorching sun, making the whole world look dim.
Tiera sat in the back seat of the jeep with his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was taking a nap.
But Jonathan Hadley, who was sitting next to Tiera, had a completely different expression. He looked extremely excited and was discussing something with geologists and climatologists from other convoys at a fast speed, but he tried to keep his voice down as much as possible for fear of disturbing their big money sponsors.
The convoy continued to move towards George Crater.
The yellow sand in the desert was raised by the convoy, forming a golden dust wave, which looked like a flowing golden river from afar.
Although Tiera closed his eyes, he did not seem to be really asleep, with a smile on his face -
If Harry, Hermione, or other people who were familiar with Tiera were here, they would definitely recognize that this was Tiera's smirk before he was about to do something bad.
But at this time, Jonathan Hadley was completely overwhelmed by excitement and excitement, and kept adjusting the speed and direction of the vehicle nervously to ensure that the convoy could reach the destination smoothly.
The convoy gradually approached George Crater, and the scene of the desert began to become more desolate and mysterious.
The thick sand and dust that looked like a thin mask floated in the air, blocking the scorching sun, making everything around shrouded in a hazy yellow.
Their visibility was extremely reduced.
In this environment, Jonathan had to direct the convoy more carefully to avoid accidents due to poor visibility.
He adjusted the convoy's route from time to time to ensure that the safest and smoothest path could be chosen.
When the convoy approached the edge of George Crater, due to the heavy dust and low visibility, the convoy's speed could be described as a snail's pace. Then he turned to Tierra and said with some worry: "We are almost there, Mr. Lockhart."
"Well, because of the weather, we may need to walk for a while before we can really enter the crater area."
"It's okay, we can just chat." Then Tierra pretended to be curious and asked, "Is the weather here always so bad?"
"Yes, Mr. Lockhart." Jonathan replied, "This kind of off-season sandstorm often blows here."
"Have you found the cause of the formation?" Tierra asked again.
"Not yet," Jonathan replied, "isn't that why we're here? To explore the cause of the sandstorm here."
"Yeah," Tierra nodded, "what do you think might be the cause?"
"It should be the geomagnetic disturbance, and the sand here contains iron ore or magnetism. In short, we have to take samples to confirm it."
"Geomagnetic disturbance?" Tierra muttered, then shook his head, "No, no, it's caused by the remnants of black magic."
"Remnants of black magic?" Jonathan Hadley was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes in his heart.
"140 million years ago, this meteorite hit the earth." Tierra pretended not to hear what Jonathan Hadley was saying in his heart, and continued, "But before this meteorite hit the earth, it passed through the ST-2397 star field and rubbed against a dark planet recorded in the Book of Marcus."
"Oh, the Book of Marcus. Dark planet." Jonathan Hadley began to drawl out the sound, and tried his best to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.
"The planet is called "Eris", a planet full of mystery and darkness, shrouded by thick fog and dark shadows. The surface of the planet is full of strange terrain, such as twisted rocks, dangerous valleys and hidden caves, many of which hide unknown dangers and unpredictable forces. "Tiera ignored Jonathan Hadley's contemptuous attitude and continued to introduce, "The climate on the planet Eris is extremely cold, and the sky is always shrouded in a hazy black fog. Starlight can rarely penetrate this black fog, making the boundary between day and night blurred. "
"On this planet, there lives a great god, who is called the Old One of Ilmice in our human pronunciation. "Tiera introduced.
"Oh, the Great Old One." Jonathan Hadley's eyelids twitched wildly, and he could hardly suppress the urge to roll his eyes.
But on second thought-
This sponsor is a little bit weird, and he is extremely convinced of the so-called black magic and those unimaginable and bizarre outer gods, but he is generous with money!
In the early stage, he directly invested 800,000 pounds and promised to add funds later.
From this point of view, Gilderoy Lockhart is really a good investor.
It's just that he is a little weird, which can even be regarded as his charm. After all.
Such a weird person will not steal his own work!
Nor will he steal his students' work!
"This unique climate and environment provides a breeding ground for Ilmis's dark magic, allowing him to manipulate fear and illusions more easily, further strengthening his dominance on this planet." Tiera continued, then looked at Jonathan Hadley and found that he was trying to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.
"You don't believe it, right?" Tiera asked.
"Ah? What? No. Not really." Jonathan Hadley quickly reached out and rubbed his eyelids and said, "I just didn't sleep well last night, and my eyelids are a little nervous."
However, what Jonathan Hadley was thinking at this time was: Ghosts believe it!
"Is that so?" Tiera did not expose him, but just nodded lightly.
"Then let's continue?" Tiera asked politely.
"Please go ahead, I am very interested in your. Um. story." Jonathan Hadley couldn't take off his gown after all, and couldn't let go of his three views and scientific attitude that he had adhered to for more than 40 years.
"That's what I'm worried about." Tiera frowned slightly, showing a worried look.
