Release that Witch - Chapter 529

[Chapter 520 The World-Destroying Star]

“Ancestor?” Roland blurted out subconsciously, “What the hell?” Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone’s faces, he coughed twice, “No, I mean… Who knows if what you said is true.”

Then he felt a light pinch on his left shoulder.

“Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, I have evidence to prove it,” the chief bowed his head, “but I can only show it to you alone.”

The rest of the astrologers got up and left the room spontaneously when they heard this. Roland thought for a while, then nodded to the witch and the guards, “Go out first, too.”

Of course, Nightingale would still stay by his side as the last line of defense just in case.

Scattered Star Scholar walked into a small room next to the hall, and it took a long time before he returned to the long table with an iron box in his hand, and placed the iron box respectfully in front of Roland.

“what is this?”

“The instruction left by your ancestor, he has long expected such a thing to happen.”

Roland was surprised: “You mean… close the astrologer?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, this is not the first time this has happened,” the bachelor said with a wry smile. “Although we call alchemy the science of sages, it is actually not equivalent—alchemy products can bring great benefits to the kingdom.” Rich income, but we need to invest a lot of gold dragons every year to buy high-quality crystals and hire craftsmen, and the output is very little. In order to prevent future successors from disbanding the astrology association to save this cost, your ancestors will The decree is engraved, and no one is required to violate it.”

Roland opened the box, and what came into his eyes was a stack of gold flakes. It seems that in order to preserve this order, the Wimbledon family really spared no expense and chose extremely stable gold as the base material for the short book.

He poured all the gold pieces on the table and roughly counted them. There were eight pieces in total, each about three millimeters thick, the size of two palms, and heavy in his hands.

The words written on the first piece are the original words from the mouth of the chief astrologer: “No one can interfere with the astrologer’s gaze at the starry sky. There are mysteries that reveal the fate of the world.”

The second half of the sentence caught Roland’s attention.

In fact, this association itself is very strange-if astrology is really effective, Wimbledon III should not be replaced by the church without warning, but hang the high priest early.

Moreover, even the Scattered Star Scholar himself mentioned that the astrologer “produces very little”… In other words, he did not regard divination as a product, and his helpless expression was exactly the same as the magic stick when he first met him. It’s like two different people.

In short, the ancestors spent a lot of money and manpower to establish such an organization. At the same time, they were afraid that future generations would shut it down because they thought it had no prophecy ability, so they did not hesitate to engrave their will on gold tablets.

Roland didn’t quite believe that the other party was an astronomer who was keen on astrology, or that he set his sights beyond the planet during the reclamation stage.

Obviously, astrologers have a task that has nothing to do with divination, and nine out of ten of them are related to the second half of the sentence.

It’s just that he rummaged through the gold plates at the back, but couldn’t find any relevant descriptions. Instead, it recorded the history of some astrological associations and the basic methods of observing the stars. The last piece even engraved the principle of crystal lens magnification.

The ancestors of the Wimbledon family also seem to have been the chief astrologer here, and a higher-ranking ruler is also mentioned.

However, Roland reviewed the family history a little bit, and found that there was no such part in it.

He picked up the first short book again, pointed to the last half sentence, “What does this mean?”

“I… don’t really know,” the maester shook his head.

Before the words finished, Roland felt a pinch on his right shoulder.

He couldn’t help chuckling, “Listen well, the rules are dead, but people are alive. The instruction left by the ancestors was probably correct when he was alive, but the times have changed. I don’t want to be ruled by a Hundreds of years of rules and regulations. Now I am the king of Graycastle, I can do whatever I want, do you understand?”

Scattered Star Bachelor’s eyes widened, “What? No, you—”

“Even you yourself know that you are wasting money in vain, you don’t know anything about the mysteries of the fate of the world, you didn’t even give a warning when your father was murdered by the church, why should I keep you here and stare at the sky stupidly? Stars can’t be exchanged for golden dragons, so pack your bags and prepare to go to the western region with me.”

Thanks to the bad impression left by the fourth prince in the capital of going his own way and acting recklessly, these words immediately made the face of Scattered Star Scholar very ugly.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, “You will probably regret knowing this news.”

“How would I know if you don’t tell me?” Roland smiled, and had to say that sometimes it is quite effective to intimidate others by pretending to be the dandy of the fourth prince. He is not easy to let this group of elderly people Iron Ax came to ask, so he had to use this method to find the answer.

“We are shouldering a mission that has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has started since Lord Wimbledon arrived in this area. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com “The bachelor calmed down and said, “This news is not impossible. Tell the royal family, but only to the heir who becomes king, and only after he turns thirty.”

“why?”

“Because your ancestors believed that letting the successors know the news too early might cause them to panic and be confused, which would lead to the decline of the kingdom.” He hesitated for a moment, “We are looking for the world-destroying star.”

Roland was taken aback, “What is that?”

“A scarlet star, or rather a crimson moon, when it descends, the world will be plunged into a catastrophe beyond redemption.”

The prince felt his heart skip a beat. Whether it was the ancient book in the ruins or Agatha who belonged to the federation, they all mentioned this word—the red moon is coming. Why would a secular organization pay attention to this?

Could it be that the astrology association and the federation are inextricably linked?

“Be more specific!”

“All I know is from word of mouth from the previous chief,” Diffuse Star said in a deep voice, “It is rumored that there is a red star floating in the starry sky. When it appears in the night like a crescent moon, the world It will be destroyed. Our duty is to find it before it turns into the moon, and if we can discover its trajectory, we can predict the end in advance, which is also the original intention of astrology.”

“Become… the moon?”

“You don’t understand astrology, and it’s normal if you don’t understand it,” the bachelor explained. “The stars are always in motion, such as the sun and the moon. They appear in front of us at a fixed time, and when they alternate, It doesn’t mean that they disappear, but that they temporarily move to a position that we can’t see. We call this moving path a trajectory-in fact, most stars have a trajectory of their own.” (To be continued .)
