Release that Witch

601. Chapter 601 looks up at the stars

    Greycastle City of Dawn, Stargazing.

    After Timothy’s fall, there was no name for Kingdom Capital. The Scattered Star Scholar thought it would usher in a turmoil, but the city order did not change much. People are still busy with their lives – farmers farmed farmland in the suburbs, Stonemason repaired damaged walls, blacksmiths tapped the armor of the store, and the patrols continued to play the game of Cats with the Black Street lover. It is still one of the most prosperous cities in the kingdom.

    Of course, there is no change at all. For example, every day someone leaves Old Kingdom Capital and goes to the Western Region to seek new opportunities. The old rival of the Astrology Association, the Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association, moved away from the City of Dawn. Now the palace has been replaced with a group of unknown nobles. They have been entangled in the land and power left over by the old nobles all day long, completely throwing the sages aside. No one asked about the fate of the kingdom, and no one was divining the future.

    If the officials left by Your Majesty Roland would regularly give Astrology Station a grain and gold royal, I am afraid that the apprentices have long since disappeared.

    Fortunately, they can still maintain the operation of the association.

    As long as Astrology Station still exists, the mission of the Scholars will not be suspended.

    “Looking up at the stars forever.”

    The sun slowly sinks into the mountains in the west, the sky turns from orange to dark red, and finally turns into deep purple…After the night fell, the work of the astrologers was just beginning.

    On the high platform, a windproof oil lamp was ignited, and the apprentices carried a star-gauge instrument from the warehouse. They had to be very careful. The careless person who damaged the instrument would face double punishments for flogging and deduction of pay, especially those of your house. The stargazer sent by Majesty Roland is the treasure of the baby.

    The Scattered Star Scholar didn’t take it too seriously when he first got the instruments in the wooden box.

    It is true that Your Majesty has promised to bring more advanced stargazing tools to the Astrology Association, but the production of the instrument is an extremely complex process. It is different from the shredded telescope. The organ that can adjust the distance inside the barrel can make the most skilled craftsmen have a headache for the first half of the month, not to mention the crystal lens. It takes about a year from a selection of materials to the production of a stargazer, and the cost of gold royal is about one hundred.

    If there is anything in common with the study of the sages, then both are very costly, but the products obtained by alchemy are often welcomed by noble and wealthy businessmen. Astrology is not so lucky, so generally only The capital of a country has the financial resources and manpower to build a star-gazing platform. As far as he knows, the Western Region’s Border Town was a ruined barren land two years ago. Even if the four wars plundered a lot of money, who would be willing to give these gold royals to unrelated asteroids?

    But when the wooden box was taken apart, Scattered Star suddenly stupid.

    For the first time, he saw such a star-gazing tool—unlike the bamboo-like instrument used in the association. Its metal cylinder is full of buckets, and the glass mirror embedded in it is so bright that it can shine. How to look close, can not find a trace of polished scratches.

    And its activity mechanism is also designed to be quite clever, just a thumb with a large thumb at the end – as long as the pinch is rotated, the distance adjustment of the lens can be achieved, and the distance does not need to be locked again after use, and it is used. Very convenient.

    Your Majesty Roland has sent three batches of six new stargazers and created an easy-to-understand name: “Astronomical Telescope”.

    Since Scattered Star has been used once, it is no longer willing to look at old-fashioned instruments.

    The remaining five telescopes were naturally handed over to the five most experienced astrologers in Astrology Station.

    “Teacher, all stargazing instruments are already in place.”The big disciple reported.

    “Is the star different?”

    “Yes,” he looked at the notebook in his hand. “Scholar, who is in charge of the direction of the North District, is sick today. Instead of him, it is the Sky Star Scholar.”

    “So ignite the spark and start watching the stars,” the chief astrologer ordered.

    “Yes!”

    The central brazier of Astrology Station is a flaming flame. It symbolizes the brightest star in the night sky. The astrologers standing around the brazier are its companions. The whole platform is strictly in accordance with the constellation. As a result, they are also standing in the sky. Among them, it has become a whole with the stars.

    In addition to the valuable stargazer, another person who needs time to cultivate is the one who looks up at the stars.

    They can only rely on their own eyes.

    So to become a qualified astrologer, you must learn how to protect your eyes. Scattered Star is fifty-five, but his vision is still better than most young people in the City of Dawn.

    This is not an easy task.

    After screening to become astrologers, they can only see the night stars in the night. Reading books under the oil lamp or candle is absolutely forbidden. In addition, they should not go out at noon during the day to avoid the strong sunlight irritating the eyes.

    The food will be changed at the same time. First, the animal’s internal organs and eyeballs must be eaten, and secondly, fish and spices should not be eaten. According to the knowledge passed down by astrology, eating more blood food can make the eyes brighter, but the fish is water-based, and the spices are earthy. The former will destroy the fire pigment in the land-based blood food, and the latter will make the eyes dust.

    Scattered Star has been in business for over forty years.

    He believes that people’s eyes use time is limited.

    In order to use it as much as possible for stargazing, the rest of the time he has seldom read books or constellation diagrams – anyway, the constellation patterns are firmly imprinted on his mind.

    Scholar pointed his eyes at the lookout – it was like a tiny tube standing at the end of a thick barrel.

    Obviously there is a beveled mirror placed in it to refract light into your eyes.

    Interesting and practical tips.

    Although astrologer understands this principle, he never thought about using it on a stargazer.

    Now it seems that it can greatly improve the star-gazing environment, at least when watching the high-star area, do not have to look around.

    Since the telescope from Your Majesty Roland is far better than the old-fashioned stargazer, the thing that the association has to do is to re-observe the existing stars, and since using the six Astronomical Telescopes, they have discovered Dozens of dark stars that were previously difficult to detect.

    Scattered Star sweeps through the area that he is responsible for. The constellation, although it will change shape with the seasons, may be difficult for beginners to master. For him, their light is like their own face. The markings are as welcoming.

    After observing the first star area, just as he was preparing to move the telescope, a negligible light suddenly came into his eyes.

    In an instant, Scholar felt that his blood had solidified.

    He held his breath and concentrated his attention in that direction.

    That is not an illusion…

    A dim star is hidden between the six stars and the blazing star. Its light is so weak that it seems to be extinguished at any time. But the difference from the surrounding stars is –

    It is red.
