Returning from the abyss

Chapter 459 Rubbings
Starcaller, also known as Agatori, is one of the corners of the "Six-pointed Star Gate" affiliated to the Starring Sect. Its name comes from the "Sky Surveying Star" in ancient mythology, not the actual name in the astrology.This department is responsible for planning sacrifices, knowledge classification and copy retention, and many parts involved in astrology have intersections with them.

In Geer's narration, Lu Ning also began to learn some knowledge of astrology.Some of the texts left by the Starcaller are actually very valuable, and Avalon once screened out non-harmful knowledge from them and passed them on.But the subject of astrology is too unpopular, and there are very few people who really study it, so the names are unknown.Geer is the kind of intensive study. He didn't try to challenge the success rate of divination, but started from other aspects to make divination more meaningful.

"Astrology is not about telling us our destiny, or changing our destiny." He held up the crystal ball to the height of his head, and the universe and starry sky were reflected in the crystal ball.

"It shows the connection and the correspondence between everything. Many people think that how are stars and people related? However, everything in the world, from appearance to death, is always connected in various ways. — forming the basis of astrology."

No one answered, because although Geer's words are not difficult to understand, they are not the same as the astrology that people usually learn.

"Influence. That's what I call astrology, or rather, all things divination. It's not a happy thing. You'll notice that there are inexplicable, incomprehensible connections between seemingly completely unrelated things." .When you go out today, what kind of hat you wear determines the life and death of a nobleman in another country."

"Teacher, have you really seen these?"

Some students raised their hands to ask questions.Geer was stunned for a moment, and seemed to take a while to understand that this was not an opinion but a question, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile: "I can see it."

"Then, can this be changed?" Lu Ning also raised her hand.

"Divination, the reason why it is called this is because it is different from prophecy." Geer carefully put down the crystal ball, but the starry sky stayed where it was.

"People have been arguing for four centuries over the three major divisions of divination, which is actually a complete waste of time."

Lu Ning glanced at Juno, and she explained to Lu Ning in a low voice.

There are three types of divination in magic. The first type is that the result of divination is absolutely achieved, no matter what you do, it is called absolute fate; the second type is that there are many possibilities in divination, as long as you follow the corresponding method Those who can avoid unfavorable situations are called the category of choosing fate; while the third type acts because of divination, which will eventually cause people to achieve the result of divination, which is called the category of distorted fate.The supporters of the three categories are all arguing over which one of divination is really correct. After all, they don't have a definite axiom to argue about except for this kind of thing.

"Divination is to find connections and amplify the impact. No matter which category, it is the result of the amplification of this impact. As long as you do it, it will have an impact." Geer fiddled with the starry sky in front of him with his fingers, letting it slow down. Slowly expanding, covering the entire lecture hall.

"Now comes the fun part." Juno smiled.

"I know, what you like to see is examples. Many of you are curious about the difference between me, a great magister-level astrologer, and what you have learned."

Geer tried his best to raise his head, trying to put on a haughty expression, but he still looked a little silly.But no one cared, everyone was staring at the starry sky, and also looking forward to what kind of demonstration he would make next.

"Just now, the three students who asked the question. Thank you very much for your question and suggestion. I will do divination for you. Of course, it is not so important to you, but it is still necessary. How about it?"

This time it was Juno's turn to cast an envious look. Obviously, there was no such episode in the last class because no one asked questions.

The starry sky completely enveloped the sky above the classroom. Geer raised his hands high and muttered something in his mouth. He couldn't hear clearly, but he felt like he was echoing the stars.The starry sky is obviously a projection of the real sky,

"The first classmate."

Geer was obviously adhering to the "sequence" element in astrology, and first pointed to the person who made him change the way of teaching: "Bei He Liu, Guan Suo Qi, and Chen Ding three shine, the main star is the reference, and the division is in Mo , corresponding to seven seven two eight in the future, it should be in the Amethyst District, where you can meet whoever you want."

The student's eyes lit up immediately.

But Geer didn't continue to explain, and immediately turned to the next one.

"The sky is slightly falling on the right side of Yuhuan Palace, fierce, the tail is shining on the left and right, the ghosts are twins, and the stars in the area are collapsing, which is a sign of danger. After three days, take the things in the blue mercury area, and within [-] days, you will be killed."

This time the audience was in an uproar.

To be honest, those who can hear this will not subconsciously refute when they hear bad words, but the result of murder is a bit too scary, and the student's face turned pale.

"Teacher, this...can this..."

"Don't take, give up something, ask for life, it's feasible." Geer waved his hand, and finally looked at Lu Ning.

"Zhengkong Taiyin, the six auxiliary stars in the constellation of the Dead Soul are evenly divided, and the three stars of Hongri, Chongying, and Lixiang split up. The future is dangerous. However, the thing you are looking for corresponds to the darkness of the double star of Aquarius. It is a fake and should be released tonight Zichou fell on Opal."

Lu Ning at the front couldn't understand, but at the back she did.

He should be talking about the first task, the rubbings of the magic book.Lu Ning originally wanted to inquire about it by herself, but now it seems that someone has already made a rubbing copy, and there is a chance to get it tonight?
"Uh... Teacher, I don't study astrology, this position..."

"Oh, pointing out the directions, it won't be exhaustive. If you show up at the right place at the right time, you will naturally meet the conditions." Geer explained.

Lu Ning nodded, half understanding.

"But teacher, this is all in the future, and we don't know if you are right." Someone asked again.

"It's someone else's business to restore the past. Astrology and divination, if you don't use it to deduce the future and interpret everything, that's—not doing your job properly."

At dusk, the class finally came to an end.Even though Geer adjusted his speech, Lu Ning still had a terrible headache when he heard it. He could only know that people like Soigo were very individual and academically accomplished.

However, two people in a row are related to the former Star Ring Sect, is this a coincidence?Lu Ning didn't quite believe it.

"It seems that you are going to find the thing you want tonight?" Juno asked curiously when he walked out the door, "Don't you have to start now?"

"Almost." Lu Ning nodded, "What about you? I think you even went to Geer to ask some questions. You understand, you should be better than me, right?"

Juno chuckled: "That is to say, I have a little more relevant knowledge. What he said is quite profound, so I don't understand it halfway."

"Humble. I'm in a hurry to leave. Goodbye."

When the two parted, Juno smiled and waved as he watched her go away, and sat down at a nearby snack bar, looking at her for a moment.

"Forgery? Rubbings of the magic book? Maybe, but the question is whether you need to make friends with people now. There are only a few people who show obvious tourist tendencies, but there is no way to judge who the core is..."

When she thought about it for a while, the food she ordered was brought out, a bowl of steaming hot noodles.However, there is still a small folded note next to the noodles.Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking at her, Juno quickly pulled out the note, touched it slightly with her fingertips, and the sense of touch quickly changed into a visual signal, allowing her to read the information on the paper.

【The net you cast is too big, draw it back, so as not to expose your whereabouts and cause danger. The investigation phase should be over, and now is the time for action.If you are interested, come and talk to me. - Yours sincerely, Watanabe]

"Oh... this is embarrassing..."

On the other side, Lu Ning went back to deliver a message to Howard, packed some things and hurried out to the Opal District.After all, she just went there two days ago, and she knows the way, so there will be no problem.

Depart after dusk, and when we reach the Opal area, the night has already fallen.The sky was full of stars, but Lu Ning still couldn't see what kind of future these stars foreshadowed, and she was even hungry.

"who?"

Walking along the road came two mages whose clothes were different from those of the mainstream crowd, a man and a woman, both of whom had a patrol badge pinned to their chests.

"I'm here to teach."

"Class? It's so late..." The male magician frowned, but his companion was thoughtful.

"Tomorrow morning's class, I walked over from Moonstone District. I haven't sent it yet, and I can't afford to hire a car. How can I come here in time tomorrow." Lu Ning began to sell miserably.

"She's the lucky one." The female magician shook her head, "It's not easy, forget it, do you have a place to live?"

"Not yet, look for it later."

"Wandering mages gather here. If you want to find a safe place, you must be a formal accommodation."

"I don't have that much money..."

The sorceress paused.

"If you only stay for one night, if you don't mind a place to sleep, go to the hot and sour cocktail." The male mage also had an idea, "Anyway, no one dares to make trouble there, after all, it belongs to the biggest bar here. Noisy... You are not taking an exam, so it doesn't matter, right?"

"It's okay, thank you both."

"It's nothing, student... Boss Kaios is always helpful, but it's inevitable that there will be some troubles in Opal District these days. It's not good for people to mix up." The male mage sighed.

"We are also one of the mixed people." The female mage said helplessly.

"Forget it... If it still doesn't work, go to the guard post here. We might be able to find a place for you if we rest in the middle of the night. My name is Fred, and her name is Misha, remember?"

Lu Ning nodded, and the two left.

Of course she doesn't need to go to the guardhouse, since the hot and sour cocktail is recommended, why not go and have a look.

At night, it is naturally much more lively than before during the day, and this kind of place has always been like this.

As the most popular shop in this area, there are quite a lot of people here at night, and besides Jaze who is sitting at the counter as usual, there are two more waiters who help serve wine and dishes.One was a short boy with an innocent childlike face, and the other was a young woman with dyed green hair, a sleeveless black dress, and red scales on her arms.

"Good evening, Jaze." Lu Ning walked to the bar, and naturally received a warm response.

"Lilian? I didn't expect you to miss me after only one day. It's a pity that I can't respond to your enthusiasm with fine wine, but I can treat you to the first glass."

"...Are you used to getting people drunk in this way?"

"That's not true. After all, many people will order a few more drinks if they feel embarrassed. The money they earn is much higher than paying for a glass of wine."

"Hey, Jaze, you didn't tell me that's why you bought me a drink!" On a small square table near the bar, a muscular man in leather armor raised his arm, "You said you wanted to comfort me when I was hurt. mind!"

"At the same time fill my wallet, is that okay? After all, it's normal for a bachelor to spend his money here, besides daily life, on drinking here. Could it be that you have any unhealthy living habits?" Jaze responded very quickly, Instantly gave the strong man a spiritual crit.

"I'm sad."

"Isn't it supposed to be drunk and happy?"

"It makes sense, but are you planning to cheat my money again?"

"You call fair trade a scam? Which glass of wine would you not order willingly?" Jaze asked with a smile.

The strong man was speechless, and then ordered a glass of wine.

The rest of the people burst into laughter, obviously this kind of thing happens often, Jaze seems to have a very good relationship with everyone here, there is no pressure to joke around, and he can easily order some more things.

Lu Ning drank her first drink, and wanted to order something like bread, but Jaze said that the owner Kuru could not eat anything other than frying things, so she ordered a deep-fried pork cutlet for her stomach .

Most of the guests had their own seats, and only Lu Ning sat at the bar. Jaze came over after finishing everyone's orders, and leaned on the counter to chat with Lu Ning.

"Lilian, why are you free today?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was pointed out?" Lu Ning asked back.

"Trust, there are everyone in this place, and you can catch fortune tellers on the streets of Turquoise District." Jaze raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"That's nothing to explain. By the way, these two waiters are also from your place? I haven't seen them since I was here last time."

"I know what you are interested in. Don't worry, that kid is an adult, but he has a harmless face, and his heart is darker than anyone else. The last time I came here to steal something, I accidentally stole Kuru's overnight stew. , As a result, I vomited and had diarrhea on the spot after eating, and after being forced to clean the kitchen for a week, I didn’t know what was wrong, so I stayed here as a waiter.”

"..." Lu Ning silently ate the fried pork cutlet, praying that nothing would happen to her.

"As for that girl, she is also a troublesome person. She has dragon blood in her body, and she doesn't say how she got it. There are some strange alienation phenomena on her body. It is reasonable to say that people with similar symptoms are not uncommon, but they can still be so lively. By the way, the green hair she dyed herself has nothing to do with mutation. The most important thing is not to listen to her singing, it has a natural deterrent effect, and people with poor constitution are prone to internal bleeding."

"Sister Jaze, you must be very strong if you can control these two people."

"That's, I'm super strong." Jaze was not humble at all.
