Roland was very impressed by this chief astrologer, who not only abides by etiquette, but also pays great attention to his responsibilities. Although there are not many achievements in stargazing, the Arithmetic Institute has done a good job. Not only has it cultivated a large number of talents for Neverwinter City, but also participated in the overall calculation work of various departments of the Executive Office. It can be said that the Astrology Association is in him. Under the leadership of , little by little, the predicament of having the name of virtuous learning but no influence in the past has been reversed little by little, and its weight is almost comparable to that of the Alchemist Association.
On the day when the red moon first appeared in the world, because the scattered star failed to issue a warning in advance, it came to the door many times to plead guilty. However, Roland was so busy dealing with emergencies in Neverwinter at the time that he directly asked his guard to send the other party back. After all, no one could have predicted that this thing would come so suddenly, not to mention that he never really expected the Astrological Society to discover the red moon from the very beginning.
People who observe etiquette like this actually use the word "must", and their discovery is probably extraordinary. After Roland hung up the phone, he immediately brought his personal guards and rushed to the Arithmetic Institute in the south of the city.
The so-called Star Observation Deck is just an attic in the Arithmetic Academy. Before the astrologers moved to the top floor of the Miracle Building, this place temporarily became their temporary star gazing place. Of course, because the construction of the spectacle took longer than expected, in order to avoid the disparity between the initially drawn pie and the actual treatment, which would cause a psychological gap, he also specially made several large-caliber astronomical telescopes for these people, and put the top floor of the attic. It has been transformed into a professional stargazing place that can rotate freely.
Entering the courtyard, the scattered star scholar had been waiting for a long time with a group of astrologers. When they saw Roland in person, they all knelt down on one knee, "Meet Your Majesty!"
"Get up," Roland waved his hand at will, indicating that the business is more important, "I won't say more gossip, what did you find?"
"Your Majesty, please come with me." The old scholar led him to the top floor of the attic with a solemn expression.
Opening the door, Roland saw that the floor of the room was covered with drafts of calculations and hand-drawn line drawings. Judging from his shallow astronomical attainments, it should be the trajectory calculation of some stars. In fact, the little astronomical knowledge he knew was enough to bluff each other at the beginning. After he taught elementary physics and mathematics, these people had studied for nearly two years, and their practical application level was already above him.
Except for the scattered star bachelor, other astrologers did not follow in, but stayed outside. The moment he closed the door, Roland caught a very serious look on the faces of those with gray hair, as if what he was going to say next was no different from his last words.
"Roland..." Nightingale couldn't help tugging at his sleeve secretly.
Roland nodded calmly, with Nightingale behind him to protect him. He wasn't worried about any danger, but he was very curious about what kind of discovery could make this group of astrologers behave so cautiously.
"Your Majesty, these days everyone has been observing the trajectory of the red moon and the changes it brings." After a moment of silence, Dispersive Star finally said, "Since we haven't been able to accurately predict its arrival, we at least hope to make some compensation. , such as determining the sector and size it is in, otherwise the mission given to the Society of Astrologers in the first place would be meaningless. But the results we get these days are horrifying.”
Frightened... terribly? Roland frowned, it really didn't seem like a word that could be associated with discovery, "What do you mean? Say the point."
"Yes," the bachelor lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, the World Destruction Star is probably a hoax, the Red Moon... doesn't exist."
He couldn't help being stunned, then turned his head subconsciously to look out the window, the scarlet sphere was still hanging high in the air, and it didn't mean to dissipate at all.
"You said that thing... doesn't exist?"
"When I first thought of this conclusion, I also thought it was a little funny, but as the observation continued, no one in the astrological association could laugh anymore." Dispersive star let out a breath. Once he started, he seemed to rest. The burden is average, and the words are much smoother, "Yes, Your Majesty, it does not exist. Based on the observational data accumulated over the past hundred years and the knowledge you have imparted, we can fully conclude that such a huge star cannot be ignored by others. The stars make an impact."
"However, according to the redrawn star map, everyone tracked and calculated the starbursts in the area where the Star of Destruction was originally located, and noticed that none of the stars were displaced because of its departure. This shows that the Star of Destruction has neither It affects those stars, but it doesn't affect us."
"Not only that, it didn't even affect itself, and the star of the world has not been moving before. This situation often means that it keeps rotating in synchronization with us. But now it is still in static synchronization after closing the distance, so It is unreasonable that the disparate speed changes do not show the slightest on the World Destruction Star."
Roland quickly understood what the old scholar meant, "If it's removed from the air..."
"Then everything makes sense," Mass star nodded. "Only when it does not exist, everything will appear normal, or whether the red moon is there or not, it makes no difference to the world."
Roland couldn't help falling into silence when he heard the words.
He probably understood why the chief astrologer was hesitant and cautious. The rumors of the battle between the Red Moon and Divine Will all came from the Taquila ancient witch. As the dean of the Arithmetic Academy, the scattered star will always be more or less when contacting the central carrier. Rarely will you hear some inside stories about them. If it turns out that these are all lies fabricated by the federation, it will cause irreparable damage to the relationship between the two parties.
It's just that Roland didn't think about this at all. Other lords might have a rift when they heard this, but for him, whether it was watching Celine study the Rubik's Cube, or taking the God's Punishment Witch on the pedestrian street, it was a lot of fun. , even if the basis of cooperation is greatly reduced, he does not mind continuing to maintain this relationship.
What's more, the threat of the devil is real.
"Are you sure this judgment is correct and reliable?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this conclusion, until I received a letter from a friend in the old capital this morning, and I dared to make a conclusion." The Master Miss Star took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and spread it out, only to see the drawing on it. What seems to be the positioning map of the red moon, "Due to the different observation locations, the positions of the stars will be slightly deflected. Although this old friend of mine used to be a nobleman, he is very interested in astronomy, so I asked him to Another azimuth check the star area where the red moon is located, and it turns out that the reply he sent back is very different from the position we observed, and it can hardly be explained by the error! That is to say, if it is used as a reference point, it means that From any angle, it is fixed in one place not only relative to the earth we are in, but also relative to everyone!"
Hearing this, Roland's heart jumped.
"Your Majesty, everything in the world is divided into front, back, left and right, high and low, and things that will not change from any angle cannot be entities!" Mass Star said word by word.
In Roland's mind, it suddenly appeared that he saw the red spot in the dream world, although the shape was extremely irregular, but no matter how he turned around it, he saw the same appearance.
In dreams, it has another name.
erosion.
