Chapter 357 On the Road
"Mr. Hylton, is it really okay for your observatory to just place the entrance to this headquarters in a residential building? Will it not be discovered by a white knight?"
Annan was now following the director of the observatory on the long stairs leading to the mountain.
Just as he had guessed, the observatory's headquarters was set up halfway up the mountain, and the equipment used for stargazing was set up on the top of the highest mountain.
Although the journey to the top of the mountain was not long, Annan felt a little bored while walking, so he casually chatted with the station director who was walking in front.
"No problem. Our observatory has many different hiding places in reality. Moreover, not everyone can control and use the entrance to our side, the star map. It is very simple to take it away. We have hidden it. It’s been many years, but I’m very experienced.”
Joseph, the director of the observatory. Hylton smiled in response.
"But didn't you cooperate with the White Knight before? You got a new stargazing telescope so quickly, and you must have taken a lot of supplies there, right? This way you are not exposed?"
Annan didn't want to test anything, he simply said whatever came to his mind.
The director of the observatory who was walking in front didn't mind. He responded smoothly.
"Of course, we did need a lot of supplies, and most importantly, the obsolete old astronomical telescope provided to us by White Knight was also quite large, so it was not easy to transport it. However, we still succeeded and were not destroyed. The White Knight is tracking that although our magic technology is not as good as what the academy has, we are also an organization that has been rooted in this world for a long time and we have some means."
Annan was walking when he suddenly felt an unusual coldness.
He turned his head in confusion and looked down at the partially incomplete observatory building halfway up the mountain.
He probably didn't go very far, and the mountain wasn't very high, but when he stepped over a certain level of stairs, it was as if he had penetrated some boundary, and the atmosphere around him began to change.
If you are a slow person, you may not notice it even if you reach the top of the mountain. However, Annan, who has strong inspiration, will catch the changes immediately.
"Mr. Director, actually I have a question, why do you want to come to me at this time?"
Annan originally expected that it might take a long time before he could visit the observatory's headquarters.
However, some time ago, the observatory suddenly passed Munch. Wright told Annan they were ready.
Shortly after that, Monk conducted a series of dark magic resistance tests on Annan.
Annan naturally passed everything smoothly.
This is not Munch's job originally, and he is not good at it. He said that the current test is actually not complete enough. It should have been carried out in a more suitable place with more professional personnel. However, considering Annan's past performance, In fact, it is not as good as more additional tests.
"Because the time is just right, I think this is a good opportunity. Some things cannot be too late."
Joseph. Hailton spoke lightly, completely missing the real point, just like what he said before.
"Annan Grant, if I guessed correctly, the academy should have found you a long time ago. In this case, I have to be just in case."
"Do you know something?"
Annan didn't want to guess riddles, he spoke straightforwardly.
The sturdy man walking in front seemed to smile.
"Rather than saying that I know, it's better to say that our observatory has always had some guesses about the college. We have always been observing. Unfortunately, after so long, we have not found the answer because we have never had face-to-face contact with the college. , we have never been to the academy, and the only thing we can be sure of is that the changes in the academy we have seen before may be related to you."
Annan was shocked when he understood. However, he knew that it would be useless to continue asking. The other party would not tell the details, so he stopped wasting his words.
"Mr. Director, is there anything I should pay attention to during the next stargazing? Are there any dangers?"
"Before you arrived, we had already arranged everything. You only need to use the astronomical telescope above to observe the stars. As for the danger, of course it exists. I think you already understand it and are mentally prepared. of."
Needless to say, there was danger. Annan had been warned a long time ago that stargazing at the observatory was a highly dangerous activity. He knew this and was willing to come.
Because he also wanted to see clearly the starry sky in this other world.
“Why did our ancestors who founded the observatory engage in stargazing?”
"In order to explore the truth of this other world, in order to satisfy my own curiosity."
The director is very aware of this.
Although, after a certain period of time, the observatory will shoulder another kind of responsibility, he must also admit that there is not much difference between them now and the predecessors who founded the observatory.
"In this other world, or should I say a foreign land, there is always only night. The sun does not exist here. The moon here changes frequently and is unpredictable and unpredictable. The most important thing is the stars here, which are also unpredictable and swaying. Uncertain."
Since Annan has the ability to freely enter and exit the other world, he will enter here when he is free, and he has the knowledge support of the academy. He naturally knows how the starry sky in the other world is unpredictable.
Even if you continue to observe the starry sky here at the same location, you will find that the locations of the stars change every once in a while.
The starry sky in this world is more like random changes than chaos.
It is precisely because the stars in the sky are completely unreliable that it becomes very dangerous to move forward in the other world, and you may lose your way anytime and anywhere.
"Some people have said that the starry sky in foreign lands is false, but others have said that the starry sky here is real, but we can't see through it, we can't see through it, we can't understand it, we can't see it clearly."
Unknowingly, the two of them were almost at the top of the mountain.
Originally, the mountain where the observatory headquarters is located is not very high. With the well-trained feet of the two people, it didn't take long to reach it.
"It seems that your resistance to black magic is really high, which is a good thing."
After stepping onto the stairs at the end, the director looked back at Annan behind him.
"Annan, you may have noticed that the atmosphere and environment here are full of black magic. This is natural. In order to observe the starry sky, the preparations we have made are not just a large astronomical telescope."
The director went first, opened the door of the building where the telescope was located, and invited the guests to enter.
"Please come here and let us do some stargazing that requires risking our lives."
