Chapter 62: The Peak of Astrology (Part II)

Jonah walked down the spiraling staircase of the "Pillar of Heaven" with the Night Fifteen, the astrological tower was truly amazingly large, the sound of words echoed in the tower, the door of the staircase on the opposite side seemed extremely distant, and every ten yards away, a lighting star array was embedded in the wall, illuminating the dark space with a warm orange light. Accidentally glanced down, Jonah immediately felt dizzy, a layer of cold sweat formed on his back, under the wooden stairs was the abyss of the black hole, he couldn't see how high it was, and the wind that came out of nowhere passed by his ears faintly, and the 17-year-old boy couldn't help but wrap his blue robe tightly.

"If the 'Pillar of Heaven' is counted as ten floors, we are about the height of the sixth floor, and there are now seven hundred and fifty astrologers stationed in the tower, and rooms are assigned according to rank, strength, and status, and those big names are on it. "But we'll have to report to the reception desk at the headquarters on the first floor, every practical astrologer is a valuable asset during this special time, and maybe they can give you an extra studio." Then again, didn't you inherit the old man's 21-814 starline? Your badge is a third-level fire astrologer, and you also use a fire attack array, is it 'Morrowind' and 'Red Spider' against the stars? or ......"

"It's the 'bear' and the boat, the 130-77 line, which I have a high sense of, but 21-814 can capture a little bit ......of it," Jonah replied.

"Oh, it's 21-814, this interstellar line is used as a lighting star array for a lot, and it can be said that it is the best fire interstellar line to get started. Night Fifteen nodded, "When you were fighting, I happened to be looking out from the balcony and saw the power ray of the stars you shot into the sky, and I thought it was very different, so I took the initiative to apply to the scene to check it out." It's not your average 'scorching ray', is it? It's pretty powerful. ”

The 17-year-old boy hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the senior brother the truth: "Yes, I have made some modifications to the Scorching Ray Star Array, and the principle is roughly as follows: start with the input part and use three Gilberto spiral ......"

As they talked, the two of them descended down a long staircase, the hardwood staircase covered with thick carpet that brought a solid touch and eased the panic in Jonah's heart. After a few minutes of walking, he got lost, and although there was only one staircase, the walls, doors, and lighting arrays looked exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell which floors he was in. However, he soon discovered that each room had a radioactive source with a unique profile, and that this radioactive source, strong or weak, of different natures, should be a unique identification method used by astrologers to mark their rooms.

"That's how I see!" Night Fifteen Kingdom exclaimed, "This idea is really novel! Your star array structure doesn't seem to belong to the category of modern astrological theory, where did you get your inspiration? This is not the work that a third-level astrologer can do, worthy of the old man's apprentice, you are a real genius!"

Jonah rubbed his nose embarrassedly: "Don't say that, I'm just...... It's just the power of others. His "Spiral Trident" was inspired by the Stored Star Array left behind by the original astrology mentor Gilberto Gilberneon on the back of the ghost Bahamas, and the space-time star array of the volcanic nation Ecbatana to suppress the crater, but now he doesn't want to reveal his secrets. Thinking of this, Jonah quietly hid his belt in the folds of his robes and tucked the black dragon pendant into his underwear.

"The Vice President must be very happy to see you, I'm serious. The Oriental astrologer didn't ask any questions and said with a smile.

"Thank you...... By the way, what do you mean by the phrase 'good my way'?" the boy asked suddenly.

Night Fifteen patted his chest: "It's just that I'm used to it." Our family originally believed in Taoism, Taoism...... How to say it, it is an ancient religion native to the Eastern Continent, believing in the gods of the Emperor God and the Taishang Sanqing, since the day I became an astrologer apprentice, I have abandoned my faith, after all, the starry sky is the greatest truth...... This incident made the old men of the Ye family half angry!"

As they spoke, the two men walked up the stairs through a floor (or rather ceiling) to the lobby on the ground floor of the Astrology Tower. Jonah was immediately taken aback by the lively atmosphere here, the hall occupied the entire "Pillar of Heaven" ground floor, which seemed quite wide, but at this time there was a long queue inside, and the meandering line did not know how many turns it had turned, and most of the people in line were plainly dressed Orientals, mostly children, some people stood there stiffly and did not dare to look around, and more ** chatted about the sky, eating snacks, spitting on the ground, From time to time, he secretly moved forward to cut the line, making a mess of the whole team, and several astrologer apprentices who maintained order were busy sweating profusely.

"Now that most of the astrologers from the entire continent are concentrated here, once the apprenticeship selection is opened, it will be a great event. Night Fifteen Kingdom sighed, "Besides, the emperor of the Southern Shang Kingdom has great trust in astrologers, for these children of poor families, once they wear the blue robe, it means that they are rich and rich, this is a good way to ascend to the sky." ”

"How are the apprentices chosen?" said Jonah, who was too young to have much memory when he was chosen by Mr. Coshavet, and the only memory he had may have been fake,—— he still couldn't figure out whether he had won the honor through selection or if he had been orphaned by Mr. Coshavet from the bodies of his parents.

Night Fifteen led him down the stairs, "There are roughly four parts in the headquarters hall, the two near the door are the testing department and the registration department, and the back two are the general affairs department and the communication department, and now the testing department is busy to death, we might as well go and add to the chaos." ”

The logic of this sentence made Jonah think for a while before he figured it out, it seems that this senior brother is not as loyal and honest as his face seems, and he is also a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world.

The two men walked through the mahogany partitions, painted screens, openwork bookshelves and cypress bookcases towards the main entrance, where Jonah was overwhelmed by the scenery, the mixture of Eastern and Western elements made for a very strange but harmonious mix of styles, the red wooden floor was painted with gold lacquer with brilliant patterns, and the pattern throughout the hall was obviously a giant star array, but it was impossible to see the whole picture, and it was impossible to guess what function it had.

"Lord Night. "Lord Night. "Everywhere you go, there are low-level astrologers and apprentices who bow their heads respectfully, and the Night Fifteen Kingdom only waved lightly, obviously accustomed to this kind of respect. In the Association of Astrologers, who are not so strict in their rules and etiquette, this kind of scene is a bit strange, "It's nothing, because my identity is a bit special, and it can be regarded as a bridge between the association and the Nanshang Night Family." In addition, I am also the head of the field department of the association's headquarters, although it is only a mere sixth, but I still have some real power. Night Fifteen introduced unconcernedly, "Plus I'm the apprentice of the old man of Koshawar...... You don't know how bad the old man's reputation is at the headquarters, everyone treats him like a plague god, he goes to the headquarters every few years to make a fuss, and his temper is so bad that even Vice President Battheon doesn't dare to provoke this old bastard. ”

The boy smiled wryly and nodded, no one knew more about Teacher Koshawar's stinky temper than him.

There are about twenty staff members in the testing department, and seven or eight desks surround a five-yard diameter high platform, and the entire base is carved out of transparent crystal, which looks crystal clear, and is undoubtedly the top crystal material. The platform is surrounded by large rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topazes, diamonds, pink diamonds, amber, opal, dark crystals, and amethysts, which are supposed to be set according to the main energy properties of the starline. - If Danny saw everything in front of him, he would have pounced on him and wept bitterly over the fist-sized diamond. Jonah couldn't help but think.

At this time, two apprentices in black robes shouted something in the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent, the fence door of the test department was raised, and the people in front of the line rushed in with excitement on their faces, and the people behind him wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, seven or eight strong apprentices hurriedly rushed up to stop them, and put down the fence door with a click, and the crowd was crowded so that the fence creaked, and the noise shook the earth.

"Good to me, Oriental. Night Fifteen shook his head, "This is us Orientals." ”

Waiting for the test was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who, under the instructions of his apprentice, ascended to the high platform and stood in the center of the crystal pedestal, looking curiously east and west. "The thing above is an interstellar augmentation device, which can be said to be a permanent enhanced version of star dust, which can make it easier for ordinary people to capture interstellar energy. Night Fifteen asked Jonah to look up, and a complex polygonal metal object hung above the crystal platform, from which many tentacles made of Mithril rods protruded, "The test is simple, if the subject can sense the presence of the starline, the star array under the base will automatically operate, helping him strip the free energy of the starline, and the corresponding gem will glow. The time of sensing the starline is the first score, the brightness of the gem is the second score, and the two scores represent his sensitivity and manipulation respectively. ”

An apprentice presses the computer button, and the test begins. The young man on the high platform looked around blankly, then closed his eyes, revealing a serious expression, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped. But five minutes later, still not a single gem lit up, and the apprentice announced that he had failed the test, pulling the boy down, and the Oriental boy shouted unwillingly, and foul language came out of his mouth, and he cursed non-stop until he was dragged out of the hall.

"It's really not like a child these days. Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him. Jonah turned his head to see that Seth Battheion, the legendary ninth-level astrologer, user of the Moon Phase Star Array, and leader of the practical astrologers, had appeared at some point and was now standing beside him.
