Release that Witch Chapter 601: Looking up at the stars

Greycastle City of Dawn, Star Observatory.

After the fall of Timothy, the name of Kingdom Capital is no longer here. Scattered Star Scholar thought that there would be a turmoil, but the city order did not change much. People are still busy with their lives. -- farmers cultivated farmland in the suburbs, Stonemason repaired damaged city walls, blacksmiths knocked on the shop ’s armor, and the patrol team continued to play the cat-catch Mouse game with black street refugees. It is still one of the most prosperous cities in the kingdom.

Of course, it is not completely unchanged. For example, every day someone will leave the old Kingdom Capital and go to Western Region for new opportunities. And the old rival of Astrology Association, Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association even moved out of City of Dawn. Now the palace has been replaced by a group of unknown noble. They fight for the land and power left by the old noble all day long, leaving the sages completely aside. No one asked the fate of the kingdom, and no one fortuned the future.

If it wasn't for the officials left by Your Majesty Roland, they would regularly give Astrology Station a sum of food and gold royal. I am afraid that the apprentices would have been scattered.

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

As long as Astrology Station still exists, the mission of Scholar will not be suspended.

"Looking at the stars forever."

The sun slowly sinks into the mountains to the west, the sky changes from orange-yellow to dark red, and finally to dark purple ... After the night falls, the work of astrologer has just begun.

Wind-proof oil lamps are lit on the high platform. Apprentices carry a stargazing instrument out of the warehouse. -- must be very careful. Careless people who damage the instrument will face double punishment of flogging and deduction of salary. The stargazer sent by Taiwan Your Majesty Roland is the treasure among babies.

Scattered Star Scholar When I first got these instruments packed in wooden boxes, I didn't take them too seriously.

It is true that Your Majesty promised to bring more advanced stargazing tools to Astrology Association, but the production of the instrument was an extremely complicated process. It is different from the crude telescope. The movement mechanism that can adjust the distance inside the barrel alone can make the most skilled craftsmen headache for half a month, not to mention the polishing of crystal lenses. It takes about a year from the selection of materials to the production of a stargazer, and it takes about one hundred gold royal.

If there is anything in common in the study of the Sage, it is that both are very costly, but the products obtained by alchemy are often welcomed by noble and wealthy merchants. Astrology is not so good luck. Therefore, generally only the capital of a country has the financial resources and manpower to build an observation platform. And as far as he knows, Western Region's Border Town was a run-down barren land two years ago. Even if the battles plundered a lot of money, who would be willing to give these gold royal to unrelated astrologers?

But when the wooden box was opened, Scattered Star was dumbfounded.

It is the first time that he has seen such a stargazing tool -- different from the bamboo-like instrument used by the association. Its metal tube is the size of a bucket, and the glass mirror embedded in it is so bright that it can show people's shadows. No matter how close you look, you can't find a trace of sanding scratches.

And its movement mechanism is also designed quite cleverly. Just a thumb **** -- at the end can be adjusted by just holding it and turning it gently, and you do n’t need to lock it again after adjusting the distance. It is very convenient to use.

Your Majesty Roland successively sent three batches of a total of six new stargazers, and gave it an easy-to-understand name: "Astronomical Telescope".

Since the Scattered Star has been used once, I no longer want to see those old instruments.

The remaining five telescopes were naturally given to the five most experienced astrologer in Astrology Station.

"Teacher, all the stargazing instruments have been put in place." Big disciple methui reported.

"Are the stars different?"

"Yes," he glanced at the logbook in his hand. "The celestial star Scholar responsible for the direction of the northern area is sick today, and he is replaced by the void star Scholar."

"So light the spark and start stargazing," Chief astrologer ordered.

"Yes!"

The brazier in the center of Astrology Station raises a blazing flame, it symbolizes the brightest star in the night sky, and the astrologers standing around the brazier are its companions. The entire platform is strictly arranged according to constellation. In this way, they are equivalent to standing In the sky, the sky and the stars have become a whole.

In addition to the valuable stargazer, another person who needs time to train is the person who looks up to the stars.

They can only rely on their eyes.

So to become a qualified astrologer, you must learn how to protect your eyes. Scattered Star is fifty-five years old, but his vision is still better than most young people in City of Dawn.

This is not an easy task.

After being screened as astrological apprentices, the only things they can see at night are night stars. Reading under the oil lamp or candle is absolutely forbidden. In addition, you must not go out at noon during the day to avoid the irritation of eyes by strong sunlight.

Meals will also be changed accordingly. First of all, the internal organs and eyeballs of animals must be consumed, and secondly, fish and spices must not be consumed. 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 spice is earthy. The former will destroy the flame element in terrestrial blood food, and the latter will make the eyes dust.

Scattered Star persists for more than forty years.

He believes that the use of human eyes is limited.

In order to use it for stargazing as much as possible, the rest of the time he has rarely read books or constellation maps --. Anyway, those constellation patterns have been firmly imprinted in his mind.

Scholar points his eyes at the observation port --. It looks like a small tube, standing at the end of a thick body.

Obviously, there is a beveled mirror inside, so that the light can break into his eyes.

Fun and practical tips.

astrologer understands this principle, but never thought of using it on a stargazer.

It now seems that it can greatly improve the stargazing environment. At least when watching the high star area, you don't need to look at your waist.

Since the telescope sent by Your Majesty Roland is far better than the old-fashioned stargazer, what the association has to do is to re-examine the existing star area and draw it again. Since using these six Astronomical Telescopes, they have found out again Dozens of dark stars that were previously imperceptible.

Scattered Star Swipe across the area in which he is responsible. Although the constellation will form different shapes with the change of seasons, it may be difficult for a beginner to grasp, but for him, their light is like his face The markings are just as kind.

After observing the first constellation, just as he was about to move the telescope, a tiny amount of light suddenly fell into his eyes.

In a flash, Scholar felt that his blood had coagulated.

He held his breath, focusing all his attention in that direction.

That's not an illusion ...

A faint starburst is hidden between the six stars and the blazing star. Its light is so weak that it seems to be extinguished at any time. But it is obviously different from the surrounding stars: --

It's red.
