Chapter 440 Astrology

"Are we still going to Middenheim? Does Master Volan have any additional information?"

The young man's weak questioning was forced back by the old wizard's stern eyes.

"That's not something you should know and don't talk about in public."

The weak but urgent tone made the apprentice obey, and no one knew whether he had learned the lesson.

.

An astute human being, it seems that he knows very well that confidential conversations do not exist for some creatures.

Like the lizard-men who are eavesdropping right now, or worse, the rat-men.

When Lynch grabbed the tail of the Eshin assassin, he paid more attention to the two wizards.

Not just any human being can attract the attention of a Skaven. The most likely person to be noticed is someone who is not strong but has an important identity, or who knows some of the secrets of the Skaven.

The fact that they were not silenced on the road shows that these two wizards did not know the Skaven's secret information.

They obviously have other identities.

.

The two wizards hid in the room with a routine that conformed to people's stereotypes. They didn't even order tea and just ate dry food.

They seemed suspicious of everything else.

"Can you say it now? I don't know why it's us."

"Shh! It's not safe here. You just need to remember that no matter how big the conflict between us and them is, it can't change our determination to fight against corruption!"

The sonorous and powerful words of the old wizard blocked the apprentice's doubts. The school was full of doubts about the cooperation with the Imperial Academy of Magic. Although many of them were former masters of elemental magic, they had just changed camps.

He didn't dare to mention the words "demon" or "chaos", which might cause the hidden warlock to locate him.

Language also has magic, and everything in the world has magic.

The apprentice was frightened by the old wizard's posture and glanced uneasily at the gaps in the room, as if there was a pair of eyes hidden in every inconspicuous gap.

"Are they here?"

"They're in the crowd."

The wizard recalled the message from the Imperial Academy of Magic. The mages from the Academy expressed concern about the recent frequent vicious incidents. Every city seemed to be hiding evil spirits, but when they launched the purge at night, the city was clean. Occasionally there are one or two pawns who were caught.

Some academy instructors believe that they are hidden within the mages.

This is a rare invitation and request for help from the Magic Academy to the Elemental Guild. The elemental mages can ignore it, but they can't let go of their former friendship.

No matter how long they quarreled over ideas, it could not change the fact that they had studied elemental magic together.

They don't have to bleed, they just need to mark the suspicious areas and leave safely with the clues.

Even if only a few people know about this cooperation, there is no guarantee that the trip will be safe. Countless lessons have taught the mages that there is no secret place in the world.

The old wizard suspected that the famous "Purple Hand" was fanning the flames, or it might be the "Red Crown" trying to cause new chaos.

He knew of some dangerous organizations, but no one could be sure of their status, and spying on the Demonic Order was extremely dangerous.

After arriving at the foot of Mount Middenheim, the wizard was more afraid of the talk among the people than the possible threat of the cult.

some businessmen and laborers

Everyone seemed to be dissatisfied, and the wizard was not sure if there was any hidden incitement behind the scenes.

The empire is indeed facing a dangerous moment. The maesters have freed people from traditional labor. The imperial people have begun to turn their attention to the ocean. When the harvest brought back by the ocean is not enough to satisfy the people, they now seem to have noticed the empire itself.

The wealthy longed to be richer, and if they could not fill their pockets, they would find ways to subtract some of the gold and silver they gave to the empire.

The old wizard understands the greed of businessmen and the workers' demands for more wages.

But the timing of their displeasure was wrong.

The auspicious moon has drooped low, and the bright moonlight has hidden the stars.

The cool breeze was blowing outside the house. After killing the mice, Lynch wandered around for a while, always paying attention to the wizard's movements.

But they didn't say anything, just talked about some empty references and went to sleep.

Just based on their superficial thinking activities, Lynch could tell that they were worried about dangers coming from the dark.

But the lizard man is not sure what the threat in the dark is, the demonic cult? Rat man? Beastmen? Or humans who disagree?

The puzzle became a kind of fun now, and when he was directly connected to Isil, the slightest interest was lost.

Because Isil has it covered.

He is not too obsessed with getting anything now. What makes him still insist on being troubled by the material world is just the mystery left by Ashoranka.

The white-moon night was calm and short, and the hearty calls cared for peaceful sleep. By the time all the liveliest taverns closed their doors, it was already midnight.

The evil moon only shows its corner in the second half of the night, and the crescent moon appears on the side of the auspicious moon, like a scar on the world.

The powerful green light overshadowed the moonlight, and after about an hour it changed its trajectory and disappeared.

The light of the white moon had dimmed a little, and Lin Qi could clearly see the light spots and arrangement of the constellations.

Everything was not in its familiar position. Ichi's horns were on top of Tebok's wings. The Serpent constellation occupied a lonely corner of the starry sky, scattering light representing bloodshed in vain.

The stars in the sky seemed to be affected by invisible influences. It may be that the evil moon interfered with the order, or it may be that the power of chaos once again disrupted the starry sky.

The anomaly lasted until near dawn, and Razkotto's cosmic alignment was restored just before daybreak.

When the sun illuminated the ground again, Lynch saw not only lazy people waking up from sleep, but also speakers who began to disturb the quiet after a simple breakfast.

The aerial ropeway at the foot of Mount Middenheim in the distance was busy transporting people. The caller in the White Wolf City, who had also just woken up, followed the crowd and woke up every village.

By the time Tigris and the others finished breakfast, all the hot-blooded people who made impassioned speeches were near Lynch.

".Undue taxes. Nobles' palaces. We must unite to speak out for the people."

The lizard people don't care much about human opinions. This is their internal matter, but it sounds like some kind of rebellious thought is spreading and they are trying to bring their opinions to the rulers.

To give their words more weight, they are enlisting people's support.

They talked a lot in random directions, mostly talking about the current situation of the empire, the basic operations of various regions, and some things that were not convenient to be made public.

Lynch roughly extracted the core point - they want freer trade and give traders more say.

Naturally, thoughts are mixed, and some people are denouncing the "evil aristocrats" or simply want to increase their income from labor.
