Chapter 602 Signs of Astrology

Scattered Star's hands trembled, but now was not the time to say anything.

"When the red moon falls, the world will fall into a disaster beyond redemption."

He naturally knew the significance of this prophecy.

After taking a deep breath, the chief astrologer carefully raised his head, for fear of losing this hard-won star because of his unnecessary movements touching the stargazer.

Even if he closes his eyes, he can find the position again.

"Record it, the third east district in early Xia, between Liudao Xing and Blazing Star."

"Yes," Yun fumbled for the book, and then drew a circle on the corresponding position, which meant that there was an extra star on the astrology map, "What's the name?"

"Being not."

"Teacher?" Yun was slightly taken aback.

"Do as I said, don't remember the name." Dispersed Star repeated, "Also call all the bachelors who are currently on the observatory, and then let the apprentices leave...immediately!"

His last sound was close to a growl.

"I'll do it right away," Yun was taken aback, and then ran towards the other astrologers.

May the gods in the sky bless us, Mispersion Star thought.

After a while, all the maesters gathered around the chief astrologer.

From his serious expression, everyone seemed to realize something—since Roland visited the astrological association, the rumors of the World-Destroying Star were no longer a secret among astrologers. The young king even suggested that the chief should hand over the gold plate inherited from the ancestors to all the bachelors for reference, one is to improve their purpose when stargazing, and the other is to give them a sense of responsibility and honor. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Misan Xing always felt that His Majesty's tone of mentioning the doomsday was a bit disapproving.

"Chief, do you..."

He nodded. "I found a red star."

These words made everyone gasp.

"But I don't know if it's a light spot, or an illusion..." Diffuse star waved his hands, "This phenomenon is very common in stargazing, so..."

"So it needs to be reviewed by us." Void Star continued.

"That's right," he nodded, "Let's start with you."

...

Half an hour later, the eight astrologers watched all of them—in order to rule out instrument problems, they also replaced the telescope twice and an old-fashioned stargazer once.

Except for the fact that the latter cannot observe the red star, no matter which astronomical telescope is used, everyone can clearly see the dim star.

One person may be dazzled or have delusions, but not all eight.

Among them, the rose star bachelor with the best eyesight also claimed that he saw the outline of the stars.

The existence of "Red Star" has been confirmed without a doubt.

Then the astrologer fell into a strange silence.

Dispersed Stars didn't know whether it was the blessing or the punishment of the gods. Since they joined the association, all their efforts were dedicated to this day, to find this extinct star that symbolizes misfortune and disaster. But when he really found it, a burst of fear suddenly surged in his heart.

Their efforts have paid off, and the advance prediction of the disaster can save the lives of tens of thousands of people. From this moment on, the Astrological Association will completely surpass the Alchemy Association. This achievement cannot even be measured by a golden dragon, but they The warning is in a sense the worst curse of all.

Predicting the end will be a heavy responsibility for astrologers.

"What should we do?" Someone asked after a long time.

"It stands to reason that this matter should be reported to the king."

"You mean Roland Wimbledon? Will he believe it?"

"Even if he doesn't believe in the stars, they won't disappear."

"No, I mean he might not believe the prophecy about the World Destroyer."

"We have to try anyway, after all, he gave these instruments to the astrologer, so it is impossible to sneer at our words."

"Who knows, he was notoriously stubborn when he was in the capital."

"If he was really stubborn, he wouldn't have left us in the first place!"

"Enough." Dispersing Star raised his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, "Don't reveal the news about the red starlight for now, let's observe for a few more days."

He looked around at every bachelor around him, "It's not enough just to know that it exists, I want to know its trajectory, its speed, and how long it may come to the world. The more clues we collect, the more we will Prophecy is more convincing, understand?"

"As you wish, chief sir." Everyone bowed together.

...

After a week of observation, Diffuse Star felt that this star became more and more incredible.

It won't move.

All the stars are in motion. Sometimes they will appear on the horizon, then slowly rise into the midair, and some will disappear after midnight. This kind of change shows regularity, otherwise there is no trajectory.

But the Extinct Star showed no sign of moving.

The seven days have caused the six-track star to tilt slightly—when autumn comes, it will gradually change from six horizontal lines to six vertical lines, so that the red star is moving away from the center of the two constellations.

It is in this contrast that the diffuse star is surprised that it has not changed, as if it is not a star, but a fixed background under the night.

Since it can't move, it can't get close to the Four Kingdoms.

According to the prophecy, the world-destroying star must come to the world—that is, anyone can directly observe it with the naked eye before disaster will come. If the inscription on the gold plate is correct, does this mean that the apocalypse will never come?

The second point is that its light is changing.

This conclusion comes from Maester Rose Star, whose records show that the star is getting brighter a little bit.

At the beginning when she was the only one who mentioned this matter, Diffuse Star didn't pay attention to it. After all, stars are very stable things, unlike the moon that changes shape and luster all the time. But on the seventh day, the Astrologer who had returned from his illness also put forward the same opinion, and the two of them were the two astrologers with the best eyesight in the association, so he had to pay attention to it.

After convening everyone for a discussion that night, the sudden surprise of the female bachelor made everyone present shudder.

"If coming to the world means letting the people of the kingdom see it, is there such a possibility that even if the world-destroying star does not move, its brighter and brighter light will eventually make it surpass the morning star and become the highest star?" A torch hanging in the air so that everyone can see it?"

These words exploded in the heart of Dixuan Xing like a thunderbolt.

People just don't know how to identify constellations, but it doesn't mean they can't see stars.

Some stars are almost as bright as a quarter moon, and you can always see them on a clear night.

What if that star had a unique, striking color?

The answer is without a doubt.

"I will write to His Majesty Roland now," the chief astrologer said with cold sweat, "I hope it will not be too late."
