"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Under the dark canopy.

It seems lonely in the stargazing building.

A wisp of smoke was dissipating.

The room smelled of freshly burned paper.

It was rare for Soraka not to wear her usual heavy astrological robes today, but to change into a costume that was probably her own race, which had a bit of wilderness vitality and a sense of life.

She looked at her only personal disciple, laughed, and said unexpectedly gently, "Girl, you have grown taller again." ”

"Yes." Anne nodded, glanced at her teacher with some confusion, and always felt that something was wrong today.

Is it an astrologer's delusion?

"Come here, sit down next to me." Soraka looked at Anne and beckoned to her, motioning for her to sit with her.

Anne obediently came to Soraka's side and sat down in the window seat.

From her vantage point, she could see the sky outside through the transparent magic crystal window.

The sky was gray.

Not a good day.

"Girl, how long have you been studying with me?" Soraka looked at Anne for a moment, then turned her head to look out the window again, and after a moment, she suddenly asked.

"It's been almost three years." Anne didn't understand how Soraka had said this uncharacteristically today, she had the impression that this teacher of hers had always been a strict teacher who did not smile.

As the closest person to fate in the world, an astrologer, she has never wasted her time lamenting uselessness in life.

Even if it weren't for the warmth she occasionally showed to herself, Anne would have wondered if she really had such a thing as emotion.

Still, it has been completely swallowed up by the majestic starry sky.

The thought that the astrologer might end up like this made Anne palpitate.

Because. She was afraid that she would lose her emotions.

It is also because, really, she is an extremely gifted and excellent astrologer apprentice.

Soraka has praised Anne's talent more than once, and said that if she had been studying astrology since she was a child, then. There is no doubt that she will be able to win the god position in this life.

God?

Anne didn't really care.

If you become a god, you don't have that person around you.

Well, this god, don't do it.

"Girl, do you remember what I first taught you?" At this point, Soraka interrupted Anne's musings.

"Yes." Anne nodded, even more puzzled.

"Try again, show me, and let me see, my only disciple of Soraka. What kind of point has it reached? Soraka still smiled softly, but it made Anne even more confused.

But she was only puzzled that Soraka's kindness to her was not only for teaching her astrology, but also for more than that, with warm protection.

So she didn't refuse, stood up and picked up a piece of moonstone that had been placed on the table.

The so-called originally taught something even astrology. Or the original content of divination.

Throw the moonstone and judge good luck or bad luck according to the condition of the moonstone.

Moonstone is a type of stone that is a specialty of Soraka's hometown. It is divided into two sides, yin and yang, the yin side is dark and rough, and the yang side is smooth and shiny.

This is said to be due to the fact that the sunny side is exposed to the moon's rays for a long time and absorbs the essence of the moon.

The divination results are obvious, that is, the yang side is good luck, and the yin side is bad luck.

Very simple divination method.

It can't even be called divination.

It can only be called a test of luck.

Gamblers in general. Children do it.

But this is an introductory lesson in astrology.

Moreover, it is a very, very important part, because it is said that when astrology is completed. Those great astrologers only need to rely on the yin and yang sides of the moon stone to perceive the qiē of the world, and they no longer need complicated tools and careful rituals.

So, this can be said to be the beginning and end of astrology.

It contains the most essential parts of astrology.

The strength of an astrologer can be known only by how accurate his moonstone is.

"So, teacher, I'm going to start." Anne took a deep breath, and for some reason, this simplest, and most practiced divination, was extremely heavy at the moment.

Is it true that it contains the ultimate wisdom of astrology?

"Yes." Soraka nodded, her figure in the dim light of the sky, with a sense of sacredness and magnification.

It's unpredictable.

“…… Wait a minute. As soon as Anne was about to gather her spirits, she suddenly thought of a question, "Teacher, what is divination?" ”

"Don't do anything divination, don't think about anything in your heart." Soraka gave an extremely puzzling answer.

"What...... Don't even think about it? Anne was eager to ask what the result of this divination would be.

But she held back.

She began to close her eyes, perceiving the stars of the heavens with all her might, letting the power of the stars guide the results in her hands, the answers.

This is the true meaning of moonstone divination, not a random throw.

As a result, it was all the answer of the stars.

The infinite power of the stars converged into Anne's hands, and she gradually emptied herself, as Soraka had said, thinking of nothing.

A qiē let the heavens speak.

"Let's go—" Moonstone took off his hand and slammed lightly on the table, making a crisp crashing sound.

The answer is......

"Teacher, it's okay, I'll do it again." Anne felt the subtlety of the atmosphere.

Overcast skies.

A stargazing tower with no lights.

Silent Mentor.

One qiē and one qiē all seem bizarre and paradoxical.

Today......

What's wrong?

"It's okay." Soraka still smiled, and she picked up the moonstone and rubbed it against the dull and rough side.

Under the dark skylight.

Actually, there is an indescribable, desolate feeling.

Yes, that's the result.

"Teacher......" Anne felt something stuck in her throat, and she suddenly ...... I want to cry.

But why cry?

"Annie, my little Annie." Sorakamo clung to the mottled moonstone like a mother singing a lullaby, calling out to his only disciple.

"Yes, teacher, I'm here." Anne was a little overwhelmed, she forcibly resisted the urge to cry, and just looked at Soraka.

There was a vague feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"Let's go, let's go, and from now on, you'll be a true astrologer." Soraka waved her hand and told Anne to leave.

"Teacher ......"

"Let's go, you're already out of school." Soraka's voice calmed down, no longer gentle, but back to his former indifference and calmness.

"Teacher, I see." Anne nodded, and respectfully walked backwards out of the stargazing tower.

Faintly, a singing voice came from the empty building:

"Let's go, let's go, my child."

"Your future path should be ......"

"How, hard ......"

Ethereal, like an ancient wind roar.

That night, it rained heavily.

One of the triumvirate of the Holy Alliance, the woman who was once closest to a god in the world, and the astrology genius of the Moon Clan, Soraka.

disappeared into this world.

Silent. (To be continued......)

PS: There is only one change.

I'm sorry.

Slept.

Ask for a monthly pass.
