Messiah's hands trembled, but now was not the time to speak up.
When the red moon comes, the world will be plunged into a catastrophe beyond redemption.
He naturally knew the meaning of this prophecy.
After taking a deep breath, the chief astrologer raised his head cautiously, for fear that he would lose this hard-won star because he bumped into the stargazer with his extra actions.
Even if he closes his eyes he can find this position again.
"Record it, in the third district of East Xia, between Liudao Xing and Chi Tianxing."
"Yes," Yu fumbled for the notebook, and then drew a circle at the corresponding position, which meant that there was another star on the astrological chart, "What about the name?"
"Being not."
"Teacher?" Yun was slightly startled.
"Do as I say, don't remember the name first." Miserable Star repeated, "In addition, gather all the bachelors who are currently on the star-gazing platform, and then let the apprentices leave... Immediately!"
His last sound was close to a growl.
"I'll do it right away," Yun was taken aback, and then ran to the other astrologers.
May the gods in heaven bless us, scattered stars thought.
After a while, all the maesters gathered around the chief astrologer.
From his serious expression, everyone seemed to realize what had happened since Roland visited the Astrology Association, and the rumors of the World-Destroying Star were no longer a secret among astrologers. The young king even suggested that the chief should hand over the ancestral gold tablets to all the bachelors for reference, firstly to improve their purpose in stargazing, and secondly to give them a sense of duty and honor. I don't know if it was an illusion or not, Dispersion Star always felt that His Majesty's tone when he mentioned the doomsday was a little disapproving.
"Chief, are you..."
He nodded. "I found a red star."
This made everyone take a deep breath.
"But I don't know if it's a light spot, or an illusion..." Dispersion Star waved his hand, "This phenomenon is very common in stargazing, so..."
"So it needs to be reviewed by us." Void Star continued.
"Yes," he nodded, "let's start with you."
…
After half an hour, all eight astrologers watched it once. In order to rule out instrument problems, they also replaced two telescopes and an old-fashioned stargazer.
Except that the latter is indeed unable to observe the red star, no matter which astronomical telescope is used, everyone can clearly see the dim star.
One person may be dazzled or delusional, but not all eight.
Among them, the Rose Star Master, who has the best eyesight, also claimed that he saw the outline of the star.
The existence of the red star has been confirmed.
Then the astrologer fell into a strange silence.
The scattered stars do not know whether this is the blessing or punishment of the gods. Since they joined the association, all their efforts have been for this day, in order to find this world-destroying star that shows misfortune and disaster. But when he really found it, there was a sudden panic in his heart.
Their efforts have paid off, and the advance prediction of disasters can save the lives of tens of thousands of people. From this moment on, the Astrology Association will completely surpass the Alchemy Association. This achievement cannot even be measured by the golden dragon, but they 's warning is, in a sense, the most vicious curse.
Predicting the end of the day will be a heavy responsibility for astrologers.
"What should we do?" Someone asked after a long time.
"It stands to reason that this matter should be reported to the king."
"You mean Roland Wimbledon? Will he believe it?"
"He won't disappear even if he doesn't believe in the stars."
"No, I mean he probably won't believe the prophecies about the Destroyer."
"Anyway, I have to try it. After all, he gave these instruments to the astrological station. It is impossible to sneer at our words."
"Who knows, he was notoriously stubborn when he was in the capital."
"If he was really stubborn, he wouldn't have left us in the first place!"
"Enough," Disperse Star raised his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, "Don't reveal the news of Red Starlight for now, we will observe it for a few more days."
He looked around at every maester around him, "It's not enough to know that it exists, I want to understand its trajectory, how fast it travels, and how long it might come to the world. The more clues we gather, the better our The prophecy is more convincing, understand?"
"As you wish, Chief Sir." Everyone bowed in unison.
…
After a week of observations, Dispersion found the star more and more incredible.
It won't move.
All the stars are moving, they sometimes appear on the horizon, and then slowly rise into the air, and some disappear after midnight. This change shows regularity, otherwise there is no trajectory to talk about.
But the Star of Destruction showed no sign of moving at all.
The seven-day period makes the six stars tilt a little bit. When autumn arrives, it will gradually change from six horizontal lines to six vertical lines, so that the red star is moving away from the center of the two constellations.
It is in this contrast that Dispersion Star is surprised that it has not changed, as if it is not a star, but a fixed background under the night.
Since it doesn't move, it can't get close to the four kingdoms.
According to the prophecy, the world-destroying star must come into the world, that is, anyone can directly observe it with the naked eye, and then the disaster will come. If what is engraved on the gold plate is correct, does that mean the doomsday will never come
The second point is that its light is changing.
This conclusion comes from Maester Rose, whose records indicate that the stars are brightening little by little.
At the beginning, when she was the only one who mentioned this matter, scattered stars didn't care. After all, stars are very stable things, unlike the moon, which changes shape and luster all the time. But on the seventh day, the astrologer who returned from illness also put forward the same opinion, and the two of them are the two astrologers with the best eyesight in the association, which has to make him take it seriously.
After convening everyone for a discussion that night, the female bachelor's whim made everyone present shudder.
"If it came to the world to make it visible to the people of the kingdom, is there such a possibility that even if the world-destroying star does not move, the brighter and brighter light will eventually make it surpass the morning star and become a high-hanging star in the sky. A torch in the air, so that everyone can see it?"
This sentence exploded in the heart of Disperse Star like thunder.
People just don't know how to identify constellations, but that doesn't mean they can't see the stars.
Some stars are nearly as bright as a full moon, and you can always see them on a clear night.
What if that star had a unique, striking color
The answer is no doubt.
"I will write to His Majesty Roland now," the chief astrologer said in a cold sweat, "I hope it will not be too late."
