Some people say that diligence can make up for stupidity, and a person who is born stupid, as long as he is willing to pay several times more sweat than ordinary people, or even more than ten times more sweat, then he may be able to catch up with some people who are naturally gifted with talent but are willing not to work hard, which is true.

But this doesn't work very well in the world of magic.

The so-called genius is 99 percent diligence and 1 percent inspiration, but in fact, that 1 percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99 percent sweat...... Some people are born to remember, some people are born with a strong ability to comprehend, and some people are far smarter than others when they are children, we have to say that there is no shortage of geniuses in the world.

Throughout the millennial history of human history, how many great magicians have been recorded in history, and they are undoubtedly outstanding people who have contributed to human magic, such as great magicians and even holy magicians.

One thing you can't deny is that magic does need to be learned by someone who is inspired, and it can't be represented by a few spells or gestures.

Some people, after learning magic all their lives, know where something is wrong and where they can improve, but they can't figure out where it is.

And [Astrology] is even more so!

The so-called astrology is a type of prophetic magic that uses the change of the direction of the stars and a series of complex theories to predict what will happen in the future.

Astrologers believe that all objects in the world have their corresponding laws of change, such as the rising moon and setting moons, which is the most basic law of the world, and all objects in this world must obey this law.

At a certain stage in the development of alchemy, almost most of the magicians, oh, alchemists as they were called at the time, were madly pursuing eternal life because of the fear of death.

So what is immortal?

Lakes will inevitably dry up, rocks will inevitably be weathered, and people will inevitably die...... Is there really an eternity in the world?

This problem has been continued from alchemists to magicians, and then, some magicians have absorbed the power of demons, some magicians have gradually come into contact with the [Dead Realm], and some magicians have begun to worship the legendary gods, and so on, among them, there are some magicians who have turned to the study of the stars, and they are the predecessors of astrologers.

The original astrologers believed that according to the basic laws of the world, there is no eternal life in this world, and even the gods have left legends of falling.

So what is eternal?

Stars!

Those stars that are above all living things, and do not know that they have existed for tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years, are the closest objects to eternity.

Eternity means omniscience, and astrologers believe in this!

If the history of magic between black and white magicians is well documented, then astrologers are really self-made, and it took them hundreds of years to compile a relatively complete set of star movements.

It has to be said that to become an astrologer, it is obviously impossible to achieve without enough patience.

While the dark magicians are refining the most devastating magic and even forbidden spells again and again, the astrologers are intently observing whether the celestial bodies have changed in the slightest, and while the white magicians have succeeded in combining the light element with the power of faith to complete a magical spell that shocks the world, astrologers are concentrating on drawing the celestial motions of the stars.

It can be said that a guy without perseverance and perseverance will never become an astrologer!

But then again, even if you have enough perseverance and perseverance, it is only a prerequisite to become an astrologer, and a person who can only observe the stars and draw their movements is not a qualified astrologer.

Don't forget, astrology is prophetic magic!

If space magic is a magic that some ordinary magicians have never had the opportunity to contact in their lifetime, then prophecy magic is afraid that more than ninety percent of people will be eliminated on this basis.

To put it bluntly, astrology is a prophetic magic that is difficult, very difficult, and boring to understand, because it requires not only all the movements of the stars to be memorized, but also some extremely mysterious knowledge, and most importantly, inspiration.

Inspiration may not be exact, but it's the same thing, a true astrologer can see the future from a crystal ball, and an ordinary magician can't figure out what it is all about, even if he gives him ten crystal balls.

Astrology is a very mysterious magical science, which is not something that ordinary people can understand.

It was once said that if you reach the level of a great magician in the field of dark magic, then you are actually a real genius, and if you want to reach the level of a great magician in the field of astrology...... Ahem, is that really something that humans can do?

Throughout the history of astrologers for hundreds of years, there have only been two astrologers who can reach the level of omniscience, and these two are respectively honored as "prophets", and the last prophet was more than 130 years ago...... In fact, the Imperial Royal Magic Association has always had a headache about the astrologers' magician ratings, because those astrologers themselves don't have much strength, maybe some astrologers are enough for you to let him perform a fireball technique, how can this be evaluated?

Fortunately, astrologers don't seem to care about the Wizarding Society's ratings, and they are willing to spend their lives with the title of Magician's Apprentice, so perhaps they should spend that time studying the stars rather than taking the time to go to Sassen to take the Magician Rating.

As a result, up to the present one hundred and thirty years, the empire has not yet had a great magician among the third astrologers...... Of course, this phenomenon may not last long, and in ten or twenty years, the third astrologer in human history will appear, that is, the prophet...... All the astrologers who live in the astrological city of Scottel firmly believe this, and they firmly believe that they can break the embarrassing situation that no one in the astrological world has reached the great magician with an apprentice in ten years!

And this apprentice is called Abel Keynes, that is, the granddaughter of the Grand Magician Gretel Keynes, the director of the Reox Academy, that is, the person who is standing in front of Jiang Zhe and them at this moment, Professor Hodd specially came to invite, the seemingly fierce, but quite beautiful female magician, although she is only twenty-seven or eight years old, but she has been favored by all the magicians in the Wizard Tower, perhaps, in the near future, the world can really give birth to a third omniscient prophet-level astrologer.

Of course, it's only in the future, at least for now, the sorceress looks ...... Hmm, it looks a little childish?

"Didn't you understand me?" Seeing Professor Hodd standing motionless and his expression very stiff, the sorceress Abel suddenly became angry for some reason, glared at him, and hurriedly said angrily, "If you understand, go back quickly, and by the way, tell my irresponsible grandfather that I am doing well here! Hmph! Why didn't you come here at the beginning, but now you need me, and come to me to go back?"

It can be seen that Abel is very angry, but the strange thing is that the little guys, as bystanders, have a faint illusion, why do they still have a bit of resentment in those few words that sound like anger?

"It seems that there is trouble......" seemed to be in response to Allen's words, Jiang Zhe shook his head helplessly, looking at Professor Huo De's embarrassed expression and a little funny, in his impression, Professor Huo De is a very kind, but very powerful black magician, can say a word to him, that female magician, what is the origin?

"This ......" Professor Hodd rubbed his hands a little uneasily under the intently gaze of several little guys, and said embarrassedly, "Originally...... You didn't want to leave it in the first place, did you...... I wanted to stay, but wasn't it...... Didn't you fail the assessment of the elders in the mage tower......"

"Well," said Abel, who seemed to recall something interesting, and then straightened her face again, glared at Professor Hodd and said, "Do you remember what you said at the time?"

"Huh?" Professor Hodd was stunned, seeing that Abel's face was getting worse and worse on the other side, and hurriedly said, "Of course I remember, I said that I would ......come over when I was free," he said, he glanced at the little ones who were watching the show, and then at Abel, who was looking expectant, and stammered, "Come here...... Come and accompany ...... Play with you......"

"Poof!" Lavia couldn't help but laugh, and the three boys beside her were dumbfounded.

More than ten years ago...... Professor Hodd must be in his twenties, right? and the sorceress must be in her teens...... Play?

"Ahem!" Seeing that Professor Hodd's eyes were a little wrong, Jiang Zhe reminded Allen with a small cough that his mouth was wide open.

"It's good to remember......" Maybe Abel also realized that it seemed a little too much to say this in front of a few little guys, and muttered a little red face, then looked up and asked, "Then I ask you, why did you lie to me?!"

"I lied...... Okay, yes, I lied to ...... No, no, no, I didn't lie to you," Professor Hodd explained, shaking his head, with a gesture, "I did think so at first, but then ...... That, you know, I was looking for Mentor Barrett, and I didn't know where the mentor had gone until I met you and the dean, but then I found out ......" As he spoke, Professor Hodd's tone suddenly became gloomy, and he paused, shook his head and said, "I don't want to affect you......"

"What affects me?" "Abel was a little stunned when she heard this, and then she seemed to think of something, and said with a somewhat imperceptible smile, "Even if you can't pass the assessment of the Mage Tower, it doesn't mean that you ......" As she spoke, she seemed to realize something, hesitated, sighed softly and said, "Forget it, since you are here, you can stay in Vandel for two days......

"Hmm?" The sudden change in Abeer's tone of voice surprised both Professor Huo De and Jiang Zhe.

"Don't get me wrong!" glaring at Professor Hodd hatefully, Abel said in a cold voice, "I just saw you coming from Reox and let you stay in the Mage Tower for two days, and I didn't say that I was going to follow ...... Go back with you!"

"Hehe......" Professor Huo De smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'm indeed a little tired...... "The seemingly ordinary words hide an imperceptible tiredness.

And this, Abel also seemed to be aware of this, and glanced deeply at Professor Huo De with inexplicable complicated eyes, then turned her head, smiled at a few little guys and said, "Go in, little ones, don't be scared by the strange guys inside!"

"Strange guy?" Jiang Zhe glanced at Allen suspiciously, and the latter shrugged his shoulders in confusion.

So, under the guidance of Abel, the group walked through the iron door and entered the interior of the mage Tafandel, and interestingly, when Alan passed by Gardian, he did not forget to make a grimace at him, so angry that Gardian's iron face turned green, and his lips squirmed vigorously, as if he was saying something, but there was no sound...... It seems that he is indeed afraid of Arbel...... After passing through the huge iron gate, walking through a passage of about thirty yards, and then passing through a wooden door, they really entered the interior of the mage Tafandel, and at this time, Jiang Zhe and the others realized the true meaning of Abel's words...... If the residence of those magicians in Scottel is comparable to the slums of the Empire, then this is simply a refugee concentration camp, looking at dozens of silver-haired old people who dragged them to the ground for a long time, Jiang Zhe thought for a while that Elder Jeffs was using [Magic Mirror], especially when he looked at the picture of those old people gathered around, as if they were arguing more than talking...... "Your algorithm is not right, I tested this theory a week ago, you are wrong!"

"Who's wrong? Your algorithm is wrong, I verified it three days ago, you're wrong!"

"I was yesterday!"

"I just now!"

Looking at the two old men with white beards and a lot of white beards, they stared at each other like children, and the rest of the old people helped the two of them, and the fierceness of the momentum almost didn't start, for a while, Jiang Zhe felt as if he had come to the wrong place, which was too far from the scene in his fantasy, right?

O Mage Tower, this is Mage Tavandel, the magical sanctuary of all dark mages...... Jiang Zhe glanced at Scott beside him, and found that his companion seemed to be shocked, so shocked that he was a little dumbfounded, his glasses were crooked, and Allen's expression on the side was a little funny.

"It seems that not all magicians like quiet ......" For some reason, Jiang Zhe said to his companions, or to himself.

Just when the little ones were a little dumbfounded, they saw Abel frowning, walked straight to the middle of the group of old men, snatched the parchment from the hands of the two old men, and said angrily, "What are you arguing about! I've only been away for a while!"

One floor suddenly fell silent, and an old man with small glasses and hair like a bird's nest said, "You can't blame me this time, if you want to blame that old guy Wellman, I have worked hard for more than a week, and he dares to say that it is wrong......"

"You're wrong!" the old man named Wellman blew his beard and glared, then glanced at Abel, his tone suddenly softened, and whispered, "Abel, he's really wrong......"

"You're wrong......"

"You're wrong!"

"You're wrong......"

"You ......"

"Alright!" said Abel, stomping her foot hard, and the floor fell silent again.

"You don't look at what time ......," muttered quietly, and Abel gestured with her eyes to Professor Huo De and Jiang Zhe, who were standing near the door.

It was only then that the old people noticed that these guests coughed twice in embarrassment and dispersed.

After some astonishment, Jiang Zhe paid attention to the interior of the Mage Tower, and he found that there was only this huge room on the first floor of the Mage Tower, and the room was full of all kinds of tables, and the tables were messily littered with all kinds of books, parchment, quills, half-stained magic array demonstration drawings with ink, half-made of some kind of precision puppets, messy discarded paper balls, half-eaten bread, and so on...... Is this really the mage Tafandel? Jiang Zhe once again felt a little suspicious of his whereabouts.

"Okay, come here," Abel beckoned to Jiang Zhe and the others, and pointed to the old men who had returned to their seats and regained their normal demeanor.

"The one in the white pajamas...... The white and white magic robes were Professor Bamber, one of the teachers who taught me astrology. As she spoke, Abel glared fiercely at the elder, who was smiling, smiling kindly at the little ones, as if nothing had happened.

"The one who sits with his back to you is ...... That is Professor Jelbart, he is an outstanding alchemist......" At the same time as Abel's introduction, the elder subconsciously turned his head, chewing something in his mouth, and when he saw the half of the bread in his hand, Abel's eyes widened, and he quickly changed the introduction.

"The one who is working on the drawings is Professor Wellman, who is also a great astrologer and one of my mentors......" said Abel, giving him a worried look at Professor Wellman, who was concerned about his own research.

Immediately afterwards, Abel introduced all the magicians, but it could be seen that those old magicians were not very interested in Professor Huo De and Jiang Zhe and a few other little guys, and when Abel introduced them, it was already very good to be able to show a smile.

"And what about you, sister?" asked Lavia in a whisper after Abel's introduction.

This made Abel stunned, patted Lavia's head and smiled, "Me...... My name is Abel, you can just call me Sister Abel, what about you?"

"My name is Lavia, Lavia Fahualia......"

"Fahualia?" Fahualia was stunned, then seemed to understand something, smiled slightly, stroked Lavia's flaming hair, looked at Jiang Zhe and the boys and said, "As boys, you are too inactive, how can you let the lady speak first?"

"It's rude," said Scott, who had just finished speaking, made a very standardized aristocratic etiquette, and said respectfully, "Scott, Scott Ogier, it's an honor to meet you!"

After Scott, Alan also gave a knightly salute and said with a grin, "Alan, Alan Scander, it's an honor to meet you, beautiful lady......"

"You should call me Miss Abel," Abel smiled and corrected Alan's speech, and then turned to look at Jiang Zhe while Eren was a little embarrassed and sneered.

"Suos!" Jiang Zhe didn't know those complicated etiquette very well, and he was afraid of making mistakes when he still drew a gourd, so Suo lowered his head slightly and bowed his head to be etiquette, but in the end, he really didn't like those etiquette very much.

"Oh......" Xiao You glanced at Jiang Zhe in surprise, and Abel nodded, completely ignoring Professor Hodd, and said to a few children with a smile, "Would you like to visit Fandel?"

"Yes!" said Allen, looking a little interested, turning his head to look around, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask a question, Miss Abel?"

"Of course!"

"The people who live here are all ...... It's all ......" quietly pointed to the professors who were sitting in their places busy with their own research, and Alan asked in a low voice.

"Of course not, there are young ......," said with a smile, and Abel's words suddenly changed, and she said with a slight smile, "but even the youngest is enough to be your grandfather...... Oh, not all of Vander's professors here, but, unfortunately, some of them are resting, some are busy with their own research, and some are checking Vander's power furnace, which is able to float in the air, all thanks to those magic arrays and the power furnaces that provide energy, and circuits...... Well, let's talk about this then, so I'll take you to see Vanderle first, okay?"

"Okay......"

"Let's go later!" Professor Hodd seemed to have finally made up his mind, ignoring Abel's disgruntled and inexplicable eyes, and said seriously, "Abel, there's no hurry to visit Vander, we're here to let you ...... this time."

"Looking for someone, right?" interrupting Professor Hodd's words, looking at his slightly embarrassed expression, Abelle said angrily, "If it weren't for this person, maybe you wouldn't have come here at all, would you?

Glancing at Abel's frosty face, Alan squeezed Scott and Jiang Zhe, and whispered, "It's over, it's called my full name......

"Shut up!" Scott whispered.

In the eyes of several little guys, I saw Professor Huo De's face turn red for a while, and after taking a deep breath, he said in an extremely serious tone, "I don't expect you to understand, but ...... This matter is very important, and the dean said that the man is very dangerous......"

"Dean?" said Abel, snorting, "I know, my grandfather asked you to come to me for help, right?"

“...... Please!"

Looking at Professor Hodd's serious and persistent eyes, Abel was finally defeated after staring at him for a while, turning around and dropping a word.

"Follow me!"

Following in the footsteps of Abel, she followed the circular cylindrical staircase of unknown number of floors to the upper floor of Vander, starting from the second floor, the rooms here are generally used as a place for magicians to rest and study, so the houses in Scottel City are just decorations.

After an unknown number of similar floors, the group finally arrived at Abel's room.

Contrary to Jiang Zhe's original expectations, this is a very feminine room, of course, this only refers to some items in the room, such as mirrors, curtains, and dolls...... When Abel's face was slightly red, and she carried the dolls to the inner room without saying a word, Jiang Zhe was looking around the room.

The color of the room is mainly dark blue, with a white star pattern, like a vast starry sky, and the most conspicuous thing in the whole room is probably the bronze star trajectory model on the long table, and a crystal ball the size of two fists.

After a while, Abel walked out of the inner room, sat behind the long table, looked at Professor Hodd and sighed slightly in disappointment, and said angrily, "What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Argus, Argus Bart Cranfield!"
