Duke Yorok hurried out of the spire and, led by a beautiful elf waiter, entered the most tranquil meditation room on Luna Island.
As soon as he entered, his originally calm expression suddenly became gloomy.
He quickly came to the magic table in the meditation room, took out a glittering crystal ball from his arms, and gently placed it on the crystal base on the magic table.
"Crystal Spirit, come out and see me."
Duke Yorok silently chanted a spell and gently rubbed the surface of the crystal ball.
Colorful light flickered in the crystal ball, and an illusory purple shadow slowly emerged above the crystal ball.
As soon as the purple shadow appeared, a cheerful and frivolous voice came out of the crystal ball like a string of pearls:
"Hey! Good morning, Lord Yorok! It is now 10 o'clock in the evening on Luna Island. You haven't called out Adast for divination for 2569 days, 12 hours and 31 minutes. The last time you called out Adast was when something happened to the ruling family of the Northern Lowlands. After that, you never took out Adast again. The days without your call were really a lonely and unbearable wait. Poor Adast could only sing in the void out of boredom. Perhaps you may not believe it, but Adast seems to have some talent in singing. During the time waiting for you, Adast created three songs and seven poems by himself. Now for you..."
"Shut up! Ardast!"
Duke Yorock shouted and pressed down the glittering crystal ball as if he was pressing down the head of a chattering dog.
The crystal ball suddenly became quiet.
"Get ready, I'm going to conduct a star divination of the highest standard!"
Duke York said coldly.
The crystal ball did not answer.
Duke York frowned:
"Adast?"
The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the frivolous voice sounded again, with a tentative tone:
"Sir Yorok, didn't you... tell me to shut up?"
Duke of York: ...
Veins bulged on the back of his palm covering the crystal ball, and he took several deep breaths before he could resist slapping the talkative Crystal Spirit to death.
If the spirit of the holy artifact had not been fixed from the moment the holy artifact was formed, he really wanted to smash the star of divination inherited from the Nice family and recast it, and replace it with a less talkative holy artifact of divination.
"I just don't want to listen to your meaningless trash talk anymore. Prepare a star divination of the highest standard. Tell me if you can do it now?"
He asked with the last bit of patience he had.
After hearing what Duke Yorok said, the voice of the crystal ball soon became cheerful:
"Okay, Lord Yorok, it's great to be able to serve you again! The stars are bright tonight, which is very suitable for divination. Adast is always ready to serve you! However, you don't look very well. Are you feeling unwell or have you encountered any difficulties? If you are feeling unwell, Adast knows that there is a kind of excellent herbal medicine in Luna Island, which is very helpful for blood descendants like you. You..."
"Shut up!"
Duke Yorok pressed down on the crystal ball, almost gritting his teeth, and the pressure from his body exploded instantly.
The crystal ball suddenly became quiet again.
Duke Yorok took a deep breath, slowly calmed down the pressure, and said coldly:
"Just answer my questions. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into the orc toilet!"
The crystal ball trembled slightly, as if it was shivering, and the frivolous voice became much more guilty:
"Okay...Okay, what do you want to see?"
"I want to observe the success rate of the Return Star Project again."
After thinking for a while, Duke Yorok said in a deep voice.
"What is the success rate of the Star Return Project? Sir Yorok, didn't you already make a divination about this 4021 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes ago? And you also made a second divination 2569 days, 12 hours and 34 minutes ago..."
"If you have forgotten the previous divination results, Adast is happy to retell you the astrological signs. The divination results 4021 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes ago showed that although the Ness clan's return to the stars plan has risks, it will be smooth sailing as long as you choose the right path. The astrological signs show that the place of hope is in the north of the new moon. As long as you get the support of the north of the new moon, the return to the stars plan will be safe and worry-free..."
"The divination results from 2569 days, 12 hours and 34 minutes ago show that the Ness clan's return to the stars plan is on the right track. As long as it is carried out according to the predetermined star trajectory, there is almost no possibility of failure. This divination was not interfered with by the consecration of the Holy Royal Court. Adast can ensure the accuracy of the divination results."
"Do you...really want to do a third divination? Adast believes that it is meaningless to have a divination with an inevitable result. Star divination is the highest standard of divination under the gods, with extraordinary reliability and accuracy. Repeating the divination is just a waste of resources."
The illusory shadow on the crystal ball started talking again, but this time, Duke Yorok did not show any impatience.
His expression was extremely serious and his eyes were uncertain.
Noticing Duke Yorok's expression, the illusory shadow suddenly stopped and said cautiously:
"Sir Yorok, is it possible that... something unexpected has happened?"
Duke Yorok glanced at the crystal ball and said in a deep voice:
"That's why I summoned you for the third divination. A strange and powerful vampire appeared in the northern lowlands and disrupted our plans."
"A strange and powerful vampire? Excuse me, star divination is the highest level of divination under the gods. Unless someone knows the existence of the divination results, it is impossible for someone to change the destined star trajectory..."
Said the illusory shadow.
However, as he was speaking, he soon noticed that Duke York was becoming increasingly impatient, and quickly changed his words:
"Of course, if Lord Yorok really wants to re-observe it, the loyal Adast is also willing to serve..."
"Then let's get started."
Duke York rubbed his temple.
"Okay, please place the star offerings according to the ritual. Since this is the third time we are observing the same purpose, the offerings consumed this time will be four times that of the first time."
Duke Yorok nodded, and a series of precious magic materials appeared in his hand with a flash of light, including Falling Star Stone, Tears of the Moon Goddess, Sacrificial Gold, Star Fantasy Incense, etc.
He was seen carefully placing them around the crystal ball to form a hexagram, and then chanting a spell in a rhythmic manner.
Stars bloomed on the crystal stand, and a mysterious magic circle with brilliant starlight appeared under the crystal ball.
Duke Yorok exhaled lightly and ordered:
"Adast, let's begin."
"I will follow your orders."
The illusory shadow replied respectfully.
Then, a brilliant light bloomed on the crystal ball, and illusory shadows transformed into flying photons that poured into it. The starlight continued to rotate in the crystal ball, casting colorful light and projecting a magnificent and mysterious galaxy on the dome of the quiet room.
Duke Yorock looked solemn, staring intently at the starry crystal ball, his hands clenched subconsciously, seeming to be quite nervous.
After a long time, the brilliant light gradually weakened, and the magnificent galaxy on the dome suddenly shrank and was taken back into the crystal ball. After the crystal ball flickered slightly for a moment, the illusory shadow reappeared above it.
"what's the result?"
Duke Yorrock asked quickly.
"Strange! It's really strange! The result of the divination has changed! And it has changed so drastically..."
The crystal ball flickered slightly, and the surprised voice of the phantom shadow was heard.
Duke Yorok's eyelids twitched, and his heart skipped a beat unconsciously:
"How exactly?"
"Very bad, very bad! The starlight is dim, the fate star is reversed, and even the follower star that was supposed to return to its position has changed its orbit... This almost declares the failure of the return to the star plan!"
"Not only that, the main star is dim and has the potential to collapse. It's not just the Return to the Star Plan that is in danger, even the people who carry out the plan will be in great risk..."
The phantom shadow's voice said seriously.
Then, it couldn't help asking:
"Sir Yorok, what did you do? Did something go wrong, causing the anger of the other Blood Clans and even causing the prince to take action?"
"Pardon Adast for being frank, but I haven't seen such a tragic result in more than a thousand years. The last time I saw it was when one of your compatriots of three generations divined his own fate, and he had just accidentally slept in the coffin that His Majesty Abaddon was sleeping in... Later, His Majesty Abaddon dried him up and made him into a specimen that was hung on the castle..."
"The current divination results are similar. Your Return to the Stars plan is almost certain to fail. Not only will the plan fail, but even the future of the Ness clan will be obscured by clouds, making the already dangerous future even more dangerous..."
"Sir Yorok, did you desecrate the statue of a certain god in front of her? This is not as simple as a powerful vampire interfering with the plan... To be honest, after seeing this result, Adast has already thought about running away, but it's a pity that Adast has no legs..."
Duke of York: ...
"Is it so serious?"
He widened his eyes, his expression full of disbelief:
"Adast, did you make a mistake in your divination?"
"Sir Yorok, Adast also hopes that this result is wrong, but as an elder of the Ness clan, you should know better than me whether the result of the Star Observation is right or wrong..."
Duke York was silent.
"I want to observe the future situation and direction of the Northern Lowlands."
After thinking for a while, Duke York said again.
"What will be the future situation and direction of the Northern Lowlands? Lord Yorok, forgive Adast for being blunt, but if the Return to Star Plan fails, observing the Northern Lowlands will be meaningless. Adast can predict with his crystal ball that the result will definitely not be that the Ness Clan will successfully control it. Even so, do you still want to observe it?"
"Do as I say and prepare to observe the divination."
Duke York said coldly.
The result of the first divination was unexpected. He knew that observing the northern border would probably not bring any good results either.
But what he needed was not the result, but to judge what he was facing by observing the Northern Territory.
Although he was unsure of the strength of the mysterious vampire, a vampire follower of Mithra could not possibly have the ability to put the entire Ness clan in crisis. He needed to obtain more information through divination.
"Okay...Okay, please follow the ritual and return the necessary star offerings to their proper places."
After hearing what Duke Yorok said, the shadow above the crystal ball said honestly.
Duke Yorok nodded, took out various rare magic materials again, arranged them with great pains, and chanted a rhythmic spell.
Soon, the colorful starlight descended once again, and the Star Crystal began its second observation.
After a moment, the starlight faded and the illusory shadows flickered slightly.
The frivolous voice appeared again, but this time, it was more confused:
"Strange... Really strange... Adast's divination actually yielded no results..."
"no result?"
Duke York's eyes narrowed slightly.
He frowned and said:
"Are you sure? Is there something wrong?"
"Impossible! The wise Adast is a sacred instrument of divination made by His Majesty Cosi himself. No one in Miria is better at divination of the stars than Adast! Adast is sure that his divination is indeed effective, but he did not get the corresponding results..."
“Strange… It’s so strange!”
The illusory shadow shook his head.
After hearing what the phantom shadow said, Duke Yorok's expression changed slightly:
"The divination is effective? Are you sure it is effective?"
"Of course, Adast is absolutely sure."
The illusory shadow replied.
Duke York was silent.
His expression was changing and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
An effective divination cannot be without results.
Unless... the target of the observation is obscured and protected, preventing the observation's feedback.
However, preventing divination feedback from the divination of the divination is much more difficult than performing divination, especially when the divination is performed by a holy artifact and a legendary.
Although Duke Yorok was not so arrogant as to think that his divination skills were the strongest in the world of Miria, he was very sure that there were probably not many people in the entire Miria who could stop him from manipulating the Star Crystal for divination.
Unless... there is a more powerful force interfering personally!
Thinking of this, Duke York's expression became more and more confused.
Could it be that Mithra, the god of contracts, really has his eyes on Castel
Is it the power of Mithra, the god of contracts, that is preventing him from observing
That mysterious vampire is really a follower of Mithra, and the Holy Court wants to take action against the Ness clan? !
If this is true, then it will be troublesome. The current Ness clan does not have enough power to compete with the Holy King's Court...
intelligence…
He needs more information!
The gods have not walked on earth for many years, and those who carry out the will of gods are the agents of gods.
If the Holy Royal Court really has further ideas about the Ness clan, then he needs to investigate the true identity and specific strength of that vampire as soon as possible!
"Sir Yorok, are you... okay? You look very unwell."
The illusory shadow said cautiously.
Duke Yorok took a deep breath and asked:
"Adast, can you still use the starlight you stored to observe divination?"
"Of course, Lord Yorok, you haven't used me for seven years, and the remaining starlight is enough for you to perform two star divinations."
The illusory shadow replied.
Duke Yorok nodded, his eyes flickered, and said:
"In that case, help me to read the divination again."
"This time... I want to find out the identity of the powerful vampire I met today!"
