Chapter 21: Arcturus (1)

"Damn Atifa."

In the empty tower of astrology, Angelil grumbled in a low voice.

This afternoon, a few unknown ministers sent a wagon of astrological files, saying that they were the first quarter horoscope files of the branch in astrological towers throughout the empire, and as the new administrator of the astrological towers, sorting out these astrological files was an important part of Angelil's daily work.

The Okasim Empire is a vast empire, and at the same point in time, the observations of the astrological towers located in the southernmost part of the empire and the northernmost part of the empire naturally differed.

In addition, there will also be traces of meteors in various parts of the empire, which may be traces left by the enemy astrologer after divination, which is quite important strategic information, and Angelyl has to do is to sort out the daily astrological dossier, and then compare what is different, and finally summarize the corresponding information to the local commanders and the palace.

"Ugh."

Angelil continued to sigh and then stuffed the fine peony shrimp into her mouth.

Before the sweet, rich aftertaste disappeared on the tip of her tongue, she picked up the red wine glass next to her and shook it, then drank the occassim salute inside.

As the only astrological minister in the royal palace, her meals are distributed separately from the royal kitchen, and with the intention of eating Atifa, Angelil eats and drinks nonsense every night while feeling sorry for the moon.

"Hiccup."

Satisfied, Angelelle pushed the dining cart away on her feet, then leaned back in her chair, resting her hands behind her head, and staring silently at the starry sky overhead.

Tonight, the sky was bright, and Angelil saw the Big Dipper at a glance, and its spoon handle pointed straight to the east, indicating that spring had arrived.

The southernmost constellation Leo is a curved sickle, with a star shining brightly and emitting a blue-white light, which is the natal planet of Oreo Pravor, which the Venadans often refer to as the "Little Emperor Star".

Angelil rummaged through the pile of astrological files for a while, and turned over the astrological files of the astrological stations in the south, south, and northwest of the empire, and this star field had not changed much, and it had been shining well in the sky.

She recorded it in the daily astrological newspaper.

"The Leo astrolabe is fine."

The gaze continues to the west, several star clusters are guarded around the constellation Leo, and the big people will not choose the stars in this area as their natal planets, so there is nothing to observe, and after comparing other astrological files, Angelil recorded them truthfully in the daily newspaper.

After monitoring the Big Dipper, she rubbed her somewhat sour eyes, and then yawned and observed the bright star on the handle of the Big Dipper's spoon.

I knew I wouldn't drink so much, and now I'm a little sleepy, she thought to herself.

The bright star is hanging high in the corner of the starry curtain, and it is said that this star is the life star of Ikra IX, but this star hangs in this place every day, and in the words of astrologers, Ikra IX is strong and will not die for a while.

There was nothing unusual about the star, and Angelil symbolically flipped through the astrological files of the rest of the astrological towers, and then opened the astrological daily newspaper, which read.

"Arcturus is fine."

She was about to put down her pen, but her eyes suddenly noticed the astrological file of the astrological tower in the eastern part of the empire, the position of Arcturus had been splashed with ink, and she craned her neck to look at the astrological daily below.

"January 3, 227 Empire, banded meteor in the Consids."

The three words of the constellation of Crows have obviously been altered, I don't know if it is a clerical error or something else, the trajectory of the meteor is marked at the bottom of the astrological daily newspaper, and it is drawn from the northeast to the southwest, which seems to be very hasty.

Angelil pulled out all the astrological files for January 3, 227, and the horoscopes in the south and west of the empire were all out of the ordinary, and the horoscopes in the north of the empire were written as "banded meteors in the Constellations". But the strange thing is that the three words Raven have also been altered.

Angelille looked suspicious, thinking of the previous Arcturus anomaly, and focused her gaze on the area.

The position of Arcturus is not unusual, and there are also shooting stars marked with black dots on the side of the constellation Crow, which is consistent with what is described in the astrological journal, but Angelil still feels that something is wrong.

She rolled up the astrological journal and held it in her hand, then tilted her head, the starlight shining in her eyes.

After a few moments, she spread the journal roll back on, then reached out and stroked the area of Arcturus, which had a noticeable bulge.

Angelyl picked at the raised edge with her fingernails, a piece of paper that had been glued on.

She felt like she had found something extraordinary, so she held her breath and carefully tore the piece of paper open.

There was a blank space underneath the paper, with Arcturus with it, and an area around it had been torn off.

Staring at the astrological journal, Angelil muttered.

"Who would do this if it was misguided, or was hiding a truth? What is his purpose? ”

Angelil frowned and pondered, puzzled for a long time.

After a while, she sorted out the two revised files, and compared them to the sea of stars in the night sky, Arcturus was twinkling not far from the Big Dipper.

Angelil trotted two steps towards the terrace, and she pushed the door open, standing on the terrace at the top of the astrological tower, looking up at the starry sky overhead.

Flowing starlight poured out from her, stacking into a silvery nebula that slowly swirled around Angelil. The nebula was like a reflection of the starry sky in the sky, expanding and contracting with Angelil's breathing.

Angelil held her breath, and the starlight in her eyes bloomed, lighting up the stars in the nebula one by one, and after all the stars had bloomed, the nebula suddenly spun violently as if it had been stimulated by something.

Angelyl had not yet fully mastered this form of astrology, so she threw her head back and gritted her teeth.

The cluster spun faster and faster, and a pale light shot into the sky and then projected into her natal planet, Antarde, and if anyone observed it during this time, they could sense that an astrologer was going back to the horoscope in Turin.

The clusters suddenly slowed down, surging like slides before freezing around Angelil.

Angelyl lowered her head, looking at the slides frame by frame.

With her ability, she can only go back to a specific month of the star cluster, and to go back to a certain day, she can only observe it with the naked eye, which is a time-consuming and laborious task.

But the astrological tower keeper's dinner was not in vain, it was full of active nutritional supplements, and after about two hours, Angelil still did not observe the constellation Crows with meteor showers in the star cluster.

She gasped and closed her eyes, intending to look at the clusters around her later, but her weak body no longer supported her.

Angelil fell to her knees in agony, using her last strength to stir the cluster, but the cluster's movement had slowed down, indicating that Angelil was on the verge of losing her strength, and she finally fell to the ground in exhaustion.

As she slowly closed her eyes, the starlight quickly dissipated, and a meteor from due north to south flashed near Arcturus.
