Jonah lifted the curtains and looked out curiously.The Harrymayan Manor is located on the outskirts of the Golden City, connected to the Harimaya Palace by a secret passageway, and the astrologer apprentices have not yet seen the streets of the famous city of Bactria, the economic and cultural center of the southern continent. The carriage drove out of the manor and along the golden road towards the west gate of Bactria, and a majestic golden city appeared in front of it, "Oh!" Jonah exclaimed in heartfelt exclamation, he had always thought that "Golden City" was just an adjective to express the richness of the city, but he did not expect that the walls of this great city were really golden, and every smooth wall tile glittered in the sun, making it difficult to look at directly.

"It is said that the powder of chalcopyrite was added to the firing of the wall tiles, and each brick cost more than five silver coins. "The Tocharian Empire is the richest nation in the world. ”

The sound of horses' hooves rattled through the city gates, and when they saw the royal camel eagle coat of arms on the side door of the carriage, four Tocharian guards armed with swords and spears bowed together and respectfully let them go. When I got closer, I realized that the walls of the Golden City were slightly shorter than the Red Stone Fort, but the thickness was very amazing, and it took a minute for the carriage to drive out of the long dark doorway, and the coachman knocked on the small window and turned back to report: "This street is called Caliph Street, and it is a place where merchants from the entire Southern Continent gather, and there is nothing here that you can't buy." The Tower of Astrology is at the end of Khalifa Street, my lord. ”

"Go straight to the Tower of Astrology, thank you. After listening to Assai's translation, Jonah gave the command.

The Oriental looked at him with blank eyes: "But I still want to go shopping...... I've heard that there are several well-known weapons and armor shops in the mainland, as well as a legendary barbecue shop that only serves 20 customers a day......!

The coachman smiled: "Lord Swordsman is right, the 'Anvil of White Steel', 'Unicorn', 'Cracked Silk', and 'Slug Nest' in the middle of Caliph Street are all very famous equipment shops, and the most skilled blacksmiths and enchanted weapons masters in the Southern Continent are stationed here. The barbecue restaurant is half a block away, and reservations have been waiting for a month, so if you want to try it, you might as well ask the prince to arrange a seat. ”

"Straight to the astrology tower, thank you. Jonah repeated calmly. The Oriental had no choice but to translate to the coachman.

"Yes, sir. The coachman raised his whip and rang the bell on the front of the carriage, and the pedestrians dodged when they saw the royal carriage, and the four-wheeled carriage sped along the bustling road.

Outside the window, there are blackened crowds and rows of shops, the streets are lined with two-storey buildings made of yellow rocks, and the unintelligible signs of the southern continent are hidden behind tall palm and oil palm trees, and the cacophony of hawkers, words and the tinkling of musical instrument shops are all in the air, and the unique smell of tropical plants wafts through the air, coupled with the tantalizing aroma of fresh fruit and barbecued food. Jonah found himself in a long time not in such a lively place, and although he was sometimes afraid of being close to others, the street really gave him a sense of "being alive".

"Oh, look, the Punjab Beast Spirit Shop. Asai pointed out excitedly, "I've wanted to buy one for a long time to play, I don't know if it's expensive?"

Cherry Watara's memories flashed through the mind of the astrologer's apprentice, "Let's go shopping after we come out of the astrology tower, and I want to buy one too." He said with a sigh.

Khalifa Street is about 5,000 yards long, and at the end of the street is a small square with five streets in the shape of a star, and in the center of the square stands an astrology tower made of gray stones. Before the carriage was stable, Jonah felt the obvious fluctuation of the power of the stars at the top of the tower, and he happily opened the door and jumped down, looking up at the tall gray tower: "Great, the association has not been withdrawn yet!"

Dongfang people got out of the car and looked up and down at the unremarkable building: "It doesn't look very popular." You see, the door seems to be closed, so it's not like you're going out for lunch. ”

Jonah walked to the tower door, the two wooden doors were tightly closed, the doors had an intricate relief pattern, and various lines converged at the doorknob, and Jonah's eyes lit up: "Look, the pattern on the door is a star array. Let me see...... It doesn't seem to have any practical effect, it should be a star array for detection, and the doorknob is the input point. ”

"Try, try. Asai instigated.

The astrologer's apprentice put his staff in his belt, walked up the two steps, held the two brass doorknobs with both hands, closed his eyes and mobilized the power of the stars, the starline from the 130-77 pairs of stars quietly vibrate, and the starry sky energy like broken jade passed through his body to the doorknob, and was dispersed and absorbed by the star array carved on the door. The lines on the wooden door were embedded with thin Mithril filaments, and at this moment the entire pattern began to glow with the bright orange-red glow of the 130-77 starline.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" the Oriental watched with great interest. Some passers-by saw this rare sight, and began to buzz and talk about it, and the coachman waved his whip and pointed to the royal camel eagle coat of arms on the carriage with a blank face, and the people immediately lowered their heads and turned to disperse, and in an instant the lively little square was gone.

Jonah was constantly pumping energy into the star array, and the strange thing was that this star array of unknown purpose greedily absorbed the power of the stars like a bottomless pit, but there was no further change. The capacity of his spiritual pool has been promoted by continuous combat training and the symbiosis contract with magic elves, and it has become very broad, but at this time, the liquid level is rapidly decreasing, and half of his spiritual energy has been consumed in an instant. "Strange ......" he muttered to himself, deciding to hold on for another half a minute and stop typing before his mental power was three-quarters of the way out, but the brighter and brighter star array began to absorb energy automatically, and the doorknob sucked into his palm like two magnets, unable to break free with all his might.

"Ahh......h The remaining spiritual power faded away like water in a funnel, and the vast power of the stars poured from his hands into the star array, and the two doors began to vibrate, emitting a roaring low-frequency noise, and the light had already brightened over the daylight. "Brother Jonah, are you alright?" said Asai finally turned his head and looked at him with concern. "What a ghost...... Come and save me......" Jonah called silently as his lips moved, sweat crackling and dripping. In a few seconds, his spiritual pool will become a dry well, what is the result of overdrawing his mental strength? The coma that almost killed him was the answer, "Ah, Ah Sai......" He gradually lost the strength to open his mouth.

"Is there something wrong with this guy?" asked the coachman.

"Seems so, sir. The driver touched his chin and said.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jonah. Asai nodded, "Ahh As soon as his hands left the brass doorknob, his strength immediately returned, and Jonah jumped to his feet, touching the big footprints on his face and saying, "Whew...... Great, just a little bit!"

The Oriental raised his eyebrows in confusion: "You mean it's good to be kicked?

At this moment the two doors creaked and turned, and the tower of astrology finally opened slowly in front of them, and Jonah jumped up the steps in three steps and two steps, and rushed in, and was stunned after taking two steps. Asai then walked in, "What's wrong...... Huh, what are you doing?"

The two men stared blankly at the inside of the Astrology Tower. According to the structure of Master Koshava's astrology tower, there should have been a hall, a servant's room, and a circle of spiraling stairs upward, but at this moment they saw only a white chaos, and the space in front of them and above was all gone, and all that could be seen was the black marble floor five yards square under their feet, and the star emblem of the Astrologer Society was engraved on the ground.

"Is it a spatial array? no, no, is this some kind of hallucination?" Jonah reached out to test the white smoke, which seemed to be light and fluttering, but it was heavy and strong, keeping his fingers out.

"Anyway, it's some kind of ban. The Oriental touched his chin and thought, "It seems to be very strong." ”

At this time, an old voice sounded overhead: "I am von Dennanso, an eighth-level astrologer and secretary general of the Southern Continent Astrology Association, hello, a member from afar. ”

"Y-Hello!" Jonah straightened up and tightened his grip on his staff.

"Relax, it's magic gramophone. - In your words, the storage of the star array. Asai looked up.

Sure enough, the voice said to himself: "Because the war is about to begin, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy in the Western Continent, the Astrologers Association has decided to recall all members of the Southern Continent, and ask the astrologers and apprentices who have not yet received the news to immediately leave for Suiyang City in the Eastern Continent to report to the headquarters of the Astrologers Association." All the astrology towers in the Southern Continent have been closed, and for the convenience of astrologers who choose to stay in the war zone, the location of the association in the Golden City has retained the automatic rating verification function, and the rating of astrologers below level 4 has been completely simplified, good luck. ”

The sound stopped. With a thud, something fell to the ground, and Jonah walked over to pick up the small package, undoing three layers of white cotton cloth, revealing that inside were a badge, two books, and a stack of bottles and cans. Against a dark blue background representing the starry sky, there are three bright red stars that shimmer like real stars.

The Oriental craned his neck with great interest and looked at it, "It's not the same as what you're wearing." ”

"Third or third level astrologer!!" Jonah's blood clotted all over his body, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. With trembling hands, he took off the badge he was wearing, and found that the star on the apprentice's badge had gone out of its own accord, turning into a black round piece of scrap metal.

"Upgraded?" said Assai applauded.

"Not only did he skip the formal apprenticeship examination, but he was also promoted to four levels in a row...... "Astrologer Apprentice - no, the third-level astrologer held the hot badge with tears in his eyes.
