Chapter 1233: Can’t Learn, Screwed Up
Rogel looked at the ordinary middle-aged man in front of him and asked curiously: "Why do you want to buy the location information of this drifting object? What is it?"
Astrology is a very niche profession in Ange's main plane, because the stars in the vast void change very little, and there are only a few observable objects coming and going.
More importantly, the main plane no longer has its own divine star, so the largest observable object is missing all of a sudden.
All sunlight is projected onto the plane by the eternal divine light, and there is no change to observe.
But in the Divine Light Alliance, the situation is completely different. Although astrologers are poor, astrology is definitely not a niche profession. It is a profession that many groups are willing to support and has a strong demand. There are even special professional associations and astrology academies.
First of all, the major adventure team mercenaries are the ones who need astrologers the most. They drive airships to explore the major void planes. Without astrologers on the airships, it is easy to get lost. Without star maps in hand, they don’t even know where to fly.
Therefore, after graduation, a large number of astrologers will join the adventure team as pilots.
If you don't want to take risks, but just want to lie in the astrology tower and look at the void at night to make a living, that's fine. Some large organizations, associations, mercenary groups, chambers of commerce, lords, etc. will also recruit some astrologers to guard the tower.
But these tower guards are basically respected old warlocks with students, such as Rogel. The funds are very limited. After the tutor takes the lion's share, the students will get a negligible share.
If the tutor is a little harsh, the students may live worse than the grooms. In order not to starve to death, the students guarding the tower will use all the available tools around them to try to find some extra money.
In the astrology tower, the most useful tool is naturally the astronomical mirror. So after patrolling the key constellations at night, the students will use their free time to complete some private work, such as looking for the ownerless abyss, broken planes, etc.
All of the above tasks can make you rich if you encounter one of them. Even if you encounter them, it will not be their turn. They mainly calculate the route. After all, the relative positions of the major planes are constantly changing. Taking the right route can save a lot of magic crystals.
After taking private jobs, they use the astronomical mirror to patrol the void. Occasionally, there will be some inexplicable discoveries. Some things are unclear about their value, and the mentors are too lazy to occupy them, so they can post messages on the association's bulletin board and let interested people contact them. After negotiating the purchase, they can send them the coordinates.
In the past six months, a magical network has appeared in the Divine Light Alliance - the Soul Home.
This was "invented" by Duke Emre of the Sword of Truth. It is a soul network that uses relay spirits to communicate. Everyone only needs to buy a soul brazier to access the Soul Home through the soul brazier, publish information, contact, purchase, etc.
It is convenient and fast, simple to access, easy to get started, and can also communicate across planes, so it is promoted very quickly.
Because of the Grand Speaker and the Undead Mourning Soldiers, the entire Divine Light Alliance has a very high acceptance of the undead, the dead, and the soul. In addition, the Grand Speaker himself has moved some of his contacts with the alliance's top leaders to the Soul House. Soon, the Soul House has become popular throughout the Divine Light Alliance.
The most lively place in the Soul House is naturally the announcement column, which publishes various bounty tasks, purchases, sales, etc., and the official will also provide guaranteed transactions for both buyers and sellers.
Five days ago, Rogel's student said that he found a strange thing. He took a look at the magic rubbing and found that it was a regular object similar to an olive pit, floating in the void and moving away from the direction of the vast void.
There are all kinds of objects in the void, regular and irregular, and there are very regular round spheres, which are actually naturally formed.
Naturally formed objects are not valuable unless they are precious metals or precious crystals. What is valuable is artificial objects that are not naturally formed.
Rogel couldn't tell whether this olive-shaped object was natural or man-made, so he didn't take it seriously and just let his students hang it on the Soul House. He didn't expect that this inconspicuous thing would attract the other party to come to his door in person for a transaction, which is much more expensive than a guaranteed transaction.
What is this? How could it attract the other party to come to his door in person?
If it were normal, Ogar would have the leisure to chat for a few words, but now he was in no mood at all. He hadn't slept for five days and five nights.
Although for an existence of his level, not sleeping all the time would not affect his physical health, it also meant that his spirit was always tense, making him very irritable.
Taking out ten magic crystals, Ogar put them on the table and said, "This is not the content of the transaction. Take the money and tell me the location. Done."
"Oh, if you don't tell me what it is, then I will cancel the transaction. It's not a big deal to have two stinky dollars. Come on, take your money..." Ogar's attitude made Rogel angry and he wanted to drive him away on the spot.
Although the astrologers were poor, Rogel didn't care about ten magic crystals. These were students' extra income, and the price was much lower than those of professional warlocks outside. Otherwise, why do we say that students are the most cost-effective labor force?
Ogar's team teleported here, and it cost more than ten magic crystals. What is the value of this olive-shaped floating object? Is it worth spending so much to come in person?
Before he finished speaking, Ogar flipped his hand and took out another twenty magic crystals, put them on the table with the original ten, and said lightly: "Location."
"You...what do you mean by this?" Rogel's heart jumped.
Ogar didn't say anything, and turned over thirty more magic crystals. A total of sixty magic crystals were piled on the table.
"This...I..." Rogel was shocked by this posture and was a little at a loss.
Ogar turned his hand over again and found about sixty or seventy magic crystals. There were too many and he didn't bother to order them, so that's about all.
In total, there might be one hundred and thirty magic crystals piled on the table. Rogel couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't care about ten magic crystals, but he couldn't ignore such a pile.
But he was also curious as to why the other party was willing to pay such a high price to find the olive-shaped drifting object.
He looked at Ogar hesitantly, then at the magic crystal on the table, and then at Ogar's hand. Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of increasing the price, Rogel finally gritted his teeth and looked away from the magic crystal. Move away: "I still need to know what it is, otherwise the deal will be cancelled."
What if it's some kind of relic, isn't it more valuable than a mere hundred or dozens of magic crystals? When the time comes, give him a false coordinate and drag the thing back by yourself.
It was a beautiful thought, but it was a pity that the person in front of him was the God Killer. Ogar said in annoyance: "Why can't I learn that guy's skills? What a mess."
As he spoke, Ogar flicked his fingers, and a wisp of powder hit Rogel's body. Soon, Rogel's body felt extremely itchy, and a layer of fungus appeared on his skin.
As soon as the hyphae started to grow, Rogel felt like something was digging into his skin. It wasn't painful but it was super itchy.
Just when Rogel was so itchy that he wanted to tear off his skin, Ogar asked: "Can you tell me the location now? If you don't tell me, these hyphae will parasitize your body forever and make you die again and again." It doesn’t fall off, but I feel like itching to death every moment.”
Thank you for the reward from Watching Flowered Cats in the Smoke.
