The 103rd chapter “observation of the Stars”
Let us not care what is happening in the ice field for a moment……
Three days later, on the eve of the Roland E, 960 years later in the capital
Located along the Lancang Grand Canal, this city was by far one of the biggest in the Roland Eenerations of eed from a mere moat and into a trans-Imperial territorial river: this river could reach into the very heart of the northwestern lands of the eh as the Eo far into the East into the open sea Not only that, this river also acted as a divide between the South and Northern line of the Eine the importance of this river in the present Roland Empire
It was on this fateful day on top of the city’s wall, the sunset in the evening sky was ever so majestic as it slowly took its course over the northern Lancang Grand Canal On average, the northern and southern walls of the city could reach as high as 20 hest tower could even reach 30 ht These defenses were all built hundreds of years in the past when the E a civil war That era was also the tiustine dynasty rose into power In order to go against the Northwest rebellion and the separatist warlords, the Ethen the defenses on the northwestern side If one were to stand on top of the 30 meter towers, they could even see far into the distance of the northern banks of the Lancang Grand Canal The distance between the tas no less than ten ht on the eve of the national day, the president of the ist willthe stars, they will predict the future destiny of the e year… Naturally, there will be no less than several famous scholars around the event to scroll a feery articles to ht now on top of the city wall, two tea watch instead of the city aruards Under the protection of these special soldiers, several prohest point of the northern tower, anxiously awaiting the results froh the results were the same every year, but every noble that participated in this event would assume a face of worry and care, otherwise, how can they show their patriotic self?
The only person that looked a bit unco oldfrom the southern part of the empire, this black robe was made from the silk of a certain pure black silkworm Due to its rarity, the annual production of this fabric was no more than 200 pounds per year, thus the price of this old Named ‘Golden Silk’, this fabric is mainly only used as a tribute in the Palace As for the ses to leak into the open reat wealth or power could possibly afford to wear clothing’s made out of this silk
This old man may look very old, but his hair and beard was still black as the night This was especially true for his eyes when reen eyes Thanks to this distinct feature, this oldhim
About two steps behind this old man stood four to five tall, short, fat and thin people Each of these individuals had drooping eyelids but their eyes carried a serious intent to the quietly behind this certain old ician’s styled robe Shockingly enough, every one of these individuals had a e on their chest… Not only that, they were all wearing gold colored clover badges, syhth level!
As for that old es of his robe like that of burning fla was that of a sold, but the pattern was very sie had a subtle lustering shi+ne to it
Continent-wide, this badge was one of a kind! Froious than the token of the eician’s union
Wearing the expensive black silken robe with an olive leaf badge on his chest, Dorgan was looking boringly at the astrologist in front of hi a heap of nonsense, this astrologist was looking towards the nightly sky trying to perforan had a strong disists He is a traditional icians had always looked down on two types of professions One kind is a ician’s union, Dorgan had in the past proposed to expel this profession froician’s union The second kind is a divination astrologist In his view, the idea of looking at the sky and stars to figure out the will of God is all nonsense and trickery Only those that could delve into ic and the forces of this world will be able to understand God’s will, this is his belief
As the last of the Sun’s light disappears over the horizon, the sky finally darkens to reveal the gliht
Wearing a ist continued his ridiculous act…
What really bored Dorgan is that regardless of the divinations result, no one actually believes it But this event is a ood in front of the Es, but as the president of the ician’s union, he had already exposed hi to this occasion and participating in this cere a form of respect towards the iician’s union needed to acquire a large a
To ht was also very cold Unfortunately, in order to highlight their respect towards God, none of these powerful ht off the chill By forcing all these old bones to stand there all night in the cold, Dorgan would so ceremony is actually a way for the Eainst thelanced doards the bottoate was already waiting below for the divination results Traditionally, the teate would send the results to the Royal Palace and the Te both “Majesty’s”, the emperor and the Pope pray at the Palace and the Teuidance
But the situation this year is soroup did not coates As for the Holy knight leaders that represented the tele one showed up In order to fill up the nuht
Three of the Holy Knight leaders, one mutinied, tere killed This news had already spread across the entire continent It appears the Tee crisis Rumor has it that even the Teade knight leader Hussein
The relationshi+p between the Magician’s union and the tean was inwardly gloating
Most likely, his Majesty the Pope s contained inside his heart and still forced to preside over such a Grand praying cerehts when it crossed hisout loud while doing so
As a rule, in these kinds of divination ceremonies, no one is allowed to an’s identity, who can reprimand him? On behalf of the emperor… A Royal Cabinet carefully looks at this president of the ician’s union
(Now if a star suddenly shoots through the sky, then it really would be hilarious) Dorgan randohts
It was nearly 100 years ago on the eve of the national day, a shooting star trailed across the sky as if falling down! That shocking scene terrified everyone and as a result, everyone took it as an on from God The word spread and ru that evil spirits have descended on the eures in the capital attacked their opposition using this as an excuse Eventually, the Eed into this and as a result, many were executed in order to calo Now in the present, the Te crisis So if the sao, wouldn’t it cause the Royal faain?
Wrapped in these an idly waited for the cereht, the court astrologist in front of him seemed to look like he had run ten kilo down as if his body eak beyond reason, his face was covered in sweat as he prepared a parch at the unknown symbols scrawled onto the parchment, it was most likely that only this certain individual would understand what he really wrote
“Good! Thank God for his blessing, the E up the parchist soleate
It must be really hard for him…… To be forced to annually perforan secretly sneered, but his face was still pretending to be very happy Seeing the court delegate coan soleer to cast a per this spell, the parche and the ink wouldn’t fade away for at least the next 100 years Afterwards, this parch scraould even be saved and put into storage within the palace…
Actually, this kind of permanent solidification spell can be casually pulled off by a fifth level an to personally do this, but in order to keep up appearances, this process was still needed
Finally finishi+ng his work for the night, Dorgan lets out a sigh at being able to go back to his tower
This night really was cold
As if it was ht will not be cal to leave, a whistling sound could be heard next to their ears co from over the horizon As everyone looked over at the northeastern direction, a shi+ning light was currently trailing across the sky With a red body and a long tail, this object was getting bigger and bigger in appearance as it drew closer Like a broo the very sky itself In aze and landed far into the west horizon…
Everyone was stunned at this point, as if dully looking at the scene that just appeared in front of theates face suddenly changed colors with an alare openStar! Star fall!!! Shooting Star!!”
This call i the crowd as if a stone was thrown into a calm pond of water After the initial call, the expression on these people changed to all sorts ofor worried, but a sht, and certain individuals were secretly pleased……
All in all… Every person ca this terrible event There was the small portion of people that could recall the event fro momentum to plot their course of action…
The only ones not speaking was this president Dorgan and the court divination astrologist
What was different between thean felt all of this was a little ridiculous He is a ical phenouidance It’s just that earlier he had a ht about all of this, so he felt it was absurd to put hiist
As for that Court Divination astrologist, he was already scared silly fro star! This is obviously a great on! He had personally performed a “divination” and the results hestar iht afterwards Wouldn’t this mean he had violently slapped himself in the face?
Loss of face is small, but if this incurs his Majesty’s wrath, then it wasfuture
After ist fell completely backwards on his ass, but no one around hiive hio when the shooting star appeared over the sky, the Emperor at the tiist!
From the looks of it… This person seems to be another unlucky fool
Whether it is a shooting star or anything else, Dorgan doesn’t want to be dragged into this conflict of the ian turned to face the already pale looking cabinet
It was just then, aup the towers pushed over a bunch of nobles in his way If not for the high leveled badge he earing and the fauards would haveany an and whispered a feords into his ears
Originally Dorgan was still so the way thisto the words whispered into his ears, Dorgan’s face suddenly turned pale!
Tre near this president of thethat could cause this person to be so pale
“He’s…… Really dead?” Dorgan’s face was as soet: “Certain?”
