Law of the Devil Chapter 599: [Night into the Star Museum]
Chapter 599 [Night Into the Star Museum]
A group of pegasus left the city and headed northwest.
Only in the middle of the night, I came to the Tulip House in Brokeback Mountain.
Du Wei met Chris in the other house. This guy, the head of a griffin breeder here recently seems to be very addicted, but Du Wei muttered a little in his heart.
I came to see Chris this time, and Du Wei didn't make nonsense, and said straightforwardly, "I'm going to the front to fight the sinners."
"Well, I know." Chris was holding a little gryphon, which is now the body of the attached golden dragon. Although it has become a human figure, there is a strong dragon power. Under the repression of Longwei, he was held by Chris, but he didn't dare to struggle, he looked afraid.
The old guy was holding a griffon, but he looked lazy, but was similar to those lazy guys in the capital holding cats and dogs in the sun. Du Wei looked a little dissatisfied and frowned, "I want to bring a team of lions鹫 The knight came to the front. "
"Oh, take it." Chris was only a little more serious: "Now that I have completed the empty riding training, I can give you a hundred rides."
But after saying this, the light in the old guy's eyes dimmed, and he continued to "snoring" with the pet in his arms.
"Chris." Du Wei sighed: "I ran to save you from the cage, but it didn't make you stay here to take care of yourself! I need your help! I need strength! I am on the front line , I'm not afraid of the crime ... But what if I encounter any of those gods? What you said at the beginning, God can't give me, the devil can. But you have been here since you came out with me ... ... "
Stop here. Looking at Chris indifferent, Dewey was a little annoyed: "You promised me the power! And the devil's treasure ... I need those things!"
"I'll give it to you." Chris raised his eyelids. "It's not time now."
"It's been a few months." Du Wei was dissatisfied: "How is it time?"
Chris laughed. The old guy now belongs to the Prince of the Dragon Three, and has become a human figure. He is quite handsome, but there is always an evil spirit in Chris' eyes: "You are in a hurry , Dewey? "
"Crap. I'm going to go to the front with the sinners desperately." Du Wei shook his head: "I don't believe in the goddess. Since she doesn't show up, I always have to do something ... After all, I'm human."
"I'm a fugitive." Chris sighed. "I can't go to the front line with you. I guess the goddess doesn't know I've escaped yet, otherwise I wouldn't have been so secure. Sitting here, she was arrested long ago. So, I ca n’t show up to help you openly fight, this is one of them.
Chris groaned for a while: "Second ... the place left by Her Majesty ... the place. You can't go there if you want. I know how to get there, but what I can tell you is that there is Some doorways can only be opened under special circumstances and conditions. Where is the door leading to! Huh, if it is not so complicated, how can we survive the goddess for ten thousand years! "
"Special time, special conditions?"
Chris smiled slightly. He looked up and pointed to the top of his head, his voice was quiet: "When the sun is annihilated by darkness."
Du Wei left the courtyard and thought about Chris' words when he was on the way.
When the sun was annihilated by darkness?
Is it night?
No, the old guy said something special. There are nights every day, not special.
So ...
Du Wei's eyes light up: "Total Solar Eclipse!"
He then suddenly became cold!
Hell! Total solar eclipse! !!
God knows when the total solar eclipse of this world will wait to appear once! In case it only happens once in decades! Then I ... didn't I have to wait? !! !!
Thinking of this, Du Wei was riding on the horse and couldn't help but take a nap. He died nine lives and saved the old guy Chris. If you have to wait for decades ... the daylily is cold!
His old Chris is an undead creature, with almost infinite life, and his soul can be transferred repeatedly. Not to mention decades, it can wait even hundreds of years!
But ... I can't wait.
Du Wei couldn't help raising his whip fiercely and took a hard stroke to urge his horse to speed up all the way. Returned to the Imperial City.
That night. Du Wei did not even dare to delay for a moment, and immediately brought people. In the middle of the night, he ran to knock on the door of the empire's "Star Museum".
The Astrological Museum of the Roland Empire is a national astronomical institution. Of course, in the Roland Empire, this kind of astrological museum is not the astronomical observation institution in the true sense, and it is more unlikely to be like the American nasa.
This place is more of an astrologist's department.
People in this world believe in astrology, and they also believe that astrology can see the will of the heavens or gods from the sky and the stars. Even in the palace, this position of court astrologist is maintained all year round. Whenever national events such as National Day and Memorial Day are performed, court astrologists will be used to observe astrology and perform divination.
The curator of the Astrological Museum is also the chief astrologist of the court.
Objectively speaking, although this kind of place has nothing to do with the real "astronomy", it is a truly **** stick institution with a strong feudal superstition color, even more **** stick than the church. However, from the historical perspective, the Empire Land Star Museum has still produced a few remarkable figures.
Among them, Duverdina is the great-grandmother Semel, and in the past, he once briefly served as the curator of the Imperial Planetarium. This position is very honorable.
Being able to serve as the curator is almost tantamount to showing that you are the first astrologer recognized by the mainland.
The astrology museum also feeds a lot of astrologists. On weekdays, it is also responsible for various divination for those imperial nobles. Whatever the daily affairs such as marriage and funeral, the existence of these astrologists is indispensable.
The people in this area, although they do n’t have much power, are undoubtedly in a prominent position. Many aristocrats also respect the people of the Star Museum.
May be in the middle of the night. Du Weike, no matter how many, directly sent a team of cavalry to knock on the door. Finally, if it wasn't finally someone ran out to open the door, I'm afraid that those northwestern defending cavalry from Du Wei would hit the door directly.
Du Wei himself, who also owns the title of a court astrologist, has almost forgotten the title himself. Anyway, there are too many titles on his head: magician, duke of the empire, admiral of the empire, former minister of the northwest military and politics. Member of the Imperial Academy of Magic, Dean of the Imperial Academy of Magic, Dean of the Imperial Military Academy, court magician, court scholar ...
Too many titles, Du Wei himself too lazy to remember. But today, the title of the court astrologist has given him a lot of usefulness.
Because there is a special rule for the Star Museum. And it is also clearly stipulated by the Empire State Law: Any outsider is not allowed to enter the astrological museum to look up information!
Because a lot of secrets are kept in the Astrological Museum, they are all national events in the past years. Among the results of astrological divination, there are naturally good and bad.
Despite this so-called divination, in Dewey's view most of them are deceiving tactics. But after all, people in this world believe in these things, and once national events have an unfavorable result in divination, the empire will secretly archive these results in order to maintain the stability of the people.
Therefore, the Star Museum is not for anyone to go in and consult the information.
Fortunately, Du Wei has the title of a court astrologist, and he is not in the ban.
Woke up in the middle of the night. Seeing a group of cavalry rushing in like a wolf and tiger, most of the astrologers in the astrological museum are weak people. Where have you seen this? On the spot, I was fainted by two, and Du Wei didn't talk nonsense. He straightened his identity and said that he would borrow some materials kept in the astrological museum.
The curator of the Astrological Museum rushed out and faced the imperial star, although he was the chief astrologist of the court. I dare not put on display. The Lord Duke can be considered his companion, and he is also an astrologist. The curator also wanted to be close, but Du Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, plunged into the archives storeroom in the museum, and found a pile of old materials covered by dust in the middle of the night, and finally found what he needed !!
Eclipse!
Then he turned on the light, and Du Wei sat on the dusty warehouse floor, covering his nose and frowning.
eclipse ... eclipse ...
Du Wei turned around for one night, and when it was about to dawn, he finally found what he was looking for
Although the astrologer of this world is a purely superstitious divination activity, at least, he has recorded some strange astronomical phenomena. Eclipses and eclipses are naturally included.
When Dewey found a line of text on a rundown parchment, his heart was cold for a moment.
"In the summer of the seventy-two years of the Empire, in the afternoon, the sky and the sun wheel were invaded by darkness ... the heavens and the earth are full of light, and the day is like the night ..."
Fortunately, Du Wei is very familiar with the ancient grammar of Roland's continental writing, and it is not too difficult to read these ancient records.
But ... the most recent total solar eclipse happened two hundred years ago ... when is the next time? !!
Keep looking ... Finally, I found the content that made Du Wei relieved.
In the Astrological Museum, there are several records of the strange astronomical phenomenon of the eclipse. The earliest total eclipse record is more than 800 years ago. Du Wei simply calculated that the time of the total solar eclipse in this world is not very accurate. Generally speaking, it should happen once in more than two hundred years. Of course, it is not possible to exclude some records from being damaged or missing.
In this way, the last total solar eclipse was more than 200 years ago, so the next time, it should not be too far away.
If you are lucky, maybe in the near future, if you are unlucky, wait for more than ten years, maybe.
This result is mixed.
Due to the result, Du Wei scrutinized it again carefully. After confirming that there were no omissions, he stood up. The air in the warehouse was really bad, and the air was full of a smell of rotten dust.
Just as Du Wei rummaged in the warehouse, his guard cavalry was guarding the door outside. No one was allowed to enter and disturb him. Those astrologers awakened in the middle of the night, including the curator, could only stay outside.
Du Wei patted the dirt on his body. Just before leaving, he turned around, but accidentally saw a strange symbol on an iron frame in the innermost corner of this warehouse ...
Du Wei glanced at it purely casually, but when he saw the symbol, his heart moved.
Subconsciously walked over. On the iron frame, there was a row of densely packed boxes filled with lime soil. Naturally, the box was filled with nitrate and antiseptic materials.
But at the corner of this shelf, a black box looks weird: the color is black but not bright, but with a faint luster. At first glance, it is somewhat indistinguishable whether the box is Wood is still iron.
The mark above is half covered by dust, and Du Wei gently stretches out his hand to wipe it, which reveals his original appearance.
Du Wei ’s expression was shocked, just because he recognized the mark!
Finger touched, the seven star-like patterns cleverly formed a contour like a spoon.
Big Dipper! ?
Du Wei carefully took the box down and held it in his hands twice, with a heavy weight. There was a pull ring at the opening of the box, and Du Wei reached out subconsciously.
Two clicks, there seems to be a sound of mechanical rotation inside.
Yi? Actually mechanical?
But then, suddenly, two small holes were exposed at the opening of the box, two beeps, and two dark rays burst out from the inside, and shot towards Du Wei's face!
Du Wei's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his fingers in front of him, making two flutters. He reached out and saw between his fingers, but two crossbow arrows that were only one cigarette long!
The arrow body is black, and it is completely iron, but I don't know what paint is applied, but there are no signs of rust. Above the arrow, with a faint blue light, Du Wei moved, sniffed, and immediately recognized it, which was a highly potent magic potion.
His curiosity was hooked!
