Release that Witch

Gray Fortress Shuguang City, Guanxingtai.

After the fall of Tiffco, there was no name for Wang Duo in this place. The Dianxing Bachelor had thought that it would usher in a turmoil, but the urban order did not change much. People are still busy with their own lives - the farmers are farming the fields in the suburbs, the stonemasons repairing the damaged walls, the blacksmiths are beating the armor of the shop, and the patrols continue to play the game of cats and mice with the black street sluts. It is still one of the most prosperous cities in the kingdom.

Of course, there is no change at all. For example, every day someone will leave the old king and go to the west to seek new opportunities. The old rival of the astrology association, the Wangdu Alchemy Association, moved away from Shuguang City. Now the palace has been replaced by a group of unknown aristocrats who have been squandering the land and power left by the old aristocrats all day long and completely throwing the sages aside. No one asked about the fate of the kingdom, and no one was divining the future.

If it weren't for the officials left by Roland, they would regularly give the astrologer a grain and a golden dragon. I am afraid that the apprentices have long since disappeared.

Fortunately, they can still maintain the operation of the association.

As long as the astrology still exists, the mission of the bachelors will not be suspended.

"Looking up at the stars forever."

The sun slowly sinks into the mountains to the west, the sky turns from orange to dark red, and finally turns to deep purple... After the night falls, the work of the astrologers has just begun.

On the high platform, a windproof oil lamp was ignited, and the apprentices carried a star-gauge instrument from the storeroom. They had to be very careful. The careless person who damaged the instrument would face double punishments for flogging and deduction of salary, especially those of Roland. The stargazer sent by His Majesty is the treasure of the baby.

The Master of Diffuse Stars did not take it too seriously when they first got these instruments in wooden boxes.

It is true that His Majesty has promised to bring more advanced star-gazing tools to Astrology, but the production of instruments is an extremely complicated process. It is different from the shoddy lookout mirror. The activity mechanism that can adjust the distance inside the barrel can make the most skilled craftsmen have a headache for the first half of the month, not to mention the polishing of the crystal lens. It takes about one year from the selection of materials to the production of a stargazer, and the Golden Dragon is about 100 pieces.

If there is anything in common with the study of the sages, then both are very costly, but the products obtained by alchemy are often welcomed by nobles and wealthy businessmen. Astrology is not so lucky, so generally only The capital of a country has the financial resources and the construction of a star-studded platform. As far as he knows, Bianbu Town in the West was a ruined barren land two years ago. Even if the four wars plundered a lot of money, who would be willing to give these golden dragons to unrelated asteroids?

But when the wooden box was taken apart, the diffuse star was stupid.

For the first time, he saw such a star-gazing tool—unlike the bamboo-like instrument used in the association. Its metal cylinder is full of buckets, and the glass mirror embedded in it is so bright that it can shine. How to look close, can not find a trace of polished scratches.

And its activity organization is also designed to be quite clever, just a thumb with a large thumb at the end - as long as the pinch is rotated, the distance of the lens can be adjusted, and after the distance is adjusted, it is not necessary to lock it again. Very convenient.

Roland has sent three batches of six new stargazers in succession, and has given it an easy-to-understand name: "Astronomical Telescope."

Since the use of the diffuse star once, it is no longer willing to look at the old-fashioned instruments.

The remaining five telescopes were naturally handed over to the five most astrologers in the astrology.

"Teacher, all stargazing instruments have been placed in place." The big disciple reported.

"Is the star different?"

"Yes," he glanced at the notebook in his hand. "The bachelor of the Tianmang Star, who is in charge of the direction of the North District, is sick today. Instead of him, he is a star of the Nether Star."

"So ignite the spark, start watching the stars," the chief astrologer ordered.

"Yes!"

The brazier in the center of the astrological center ignited the blazing flame. It symbolizes the brightest star in the night sky. The astrologers who stand around the brazier are its companions. The whole platform is strictly in accordance with the astrology. As a result, they are also standing. In the sky, it is a whole with the stars.

In addition to the valuable stargazers, another person who needs time to cultivate is the one who looks up at the stars.

They can only rely on their own eyes.

So to become a qualified astrologer, you must learn how to protect your eyes. The diffuse star is fifty-five years old, but his vision is still better than most young people in Twilight.

This is not an easy task.

After screening to become astrologers, they can only watch night stars at night. Reading books under oil lamps or candles is absolutely forbidden. In addition, they should not go out at noon during the day to avoid the strong sunlight irritating the eyes.

The food will also change accordingly. First, you must eat the animal's internal organs and eyeballs, and secondly, you must not eat fish and spices. According to the knowledge passed down by astrology, eating more blood food can make the eyes brighter, but the fish is water-based, and the spices are earthy. The former will destroy the fire pigment in the land-based blood food, and the latter will make the eyes dust.

The diffuse star has persisted for more than forty years.

He believes that people's eyes use time is limited.

In order to use it as much as possible for stargazing, the rest of the time he has rarely read books or astrological maps - anyway, the constellation patterns are firmly imprinted on his mind.

The bachelor pointed his eyes at the lookout - it was like a tiny tube standing at the end of a thick barrel.

Obviously there is a beveled mirror placed in it to make the light fold into your own eyes.

Interesting and practical tips.

Although the astrologer understands this principle, he never thought of using it on a stargazer.

Now it seems that it can greatly improve the star-gazing environment, at least when watching the high-star area, do not have to look at it.

Since the telescope sent by Roland is far better than the old-fashioned stargazer, the thing that the association has to do is to re-observe the existing star area. Since the use of these six astronomical telescopes, they have discovered Ten dark stars that were previously undetectable.

The diffuse star sweeps through the area that he is responsible for. The constellation, although it will change into different shapes with the seasons, may be difficult for beginners to master. For him, their light is like their own face. The markings are as welcoming.

After observing the first star area, just as he was preparing to move the telescope, a little insignificant light suddenly came into his eyes.

In an instant, the bachelor felt that his blood had solidified.

He held his breath and concentrated his attention in that direction.

That is not an illusion...

A dim star is hidden between the six stars and the blazing star, and its light is so weak that it seems to be extinguished at any time. But the difference from the surrounding stars is -

It is red.
