Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Stars of Destruction

"Ancestor?" Roland blurted out subconsciously, "What the hell?" Seeing everyone showing a surprised expression, he coughed twice, "No, I mean... who knows if what you are saying is true."

Then he felt his left shoulder be gently pinched.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. I have evidence," the chief said, "but it can only be shown to you alone."

The other astrologers stood up and left the room after hearing this. Roland thought for a while and nodded to the witch and guards, "You guys go out first."

Of course, the Nightingale will still stay by his side as the last line of defense just in case.

Bachelor of Difference Star walked into a small cottage next to the hall, and after a long time he returned to the long table with an iron box and placed it respectfully in front of Roland.

"What's this?"

"He had expected such a thing to happen after the order left by your ancestor."

Roland said in surprise: "You mean...close the astrology platform?"

"Yes, your majesty, this is not the first time this happened," the scholar smiled bitterly. "Although we are known as the Sage of the Sage, we are not actually equivalent to the fact that alchemy products can bring rich income to the kingdom. We need to invest a large amount of golden dragons every year to buy high-quality crystals and hire craftsmen, and the output is very small. In order to avoid the successors of later generations who want to save this cost and dissolve the astrological association, your ancestors engrave the will and ask no one to violate it."

Roland opened the box and saw a stack of gold pieces. It seemed that in order to preserve this order, the Wimbledon family really spared no effort and chose gold with extremely stable nature as the basis for the Jianshu.

He poured all the golden pieces on the table and counted roughly. There were eight pieces in total, each about three millimeters thick, the size of two palms, and it was heavy in his hand.

The first piece of the book is exactly the original words written by the chief astrologist: No one can interfere with the astrology platform gazing at the starry sky, where there is a mystery that shows the fate of the world.

The second half of the sentence caught Roland's attention.

In fact, this association itself is strange. If astrology is really effective, Wimbledon III should not be replaced by the church without any warning, but hang the high priest early. Moreover, even the Bachelor of Difference Star himself mentioned that the astrology platform produced very little... In other words, he did not regard divination as a product, and his helpless expression was completely different from the charlatan look when he first met him.

In short, the ancestors spent a lot of money and manpower to establish such an organization, and at the same time, they were afraid that their descendants would shut it down because they thought it had no prophecy, so they would engrave their will on the golden piece. Roland didn't believe that the other party was an astronomy enthusiast who was passionate about astrology, or they turned their attention outside the planet during the reclamation stage. Obviously, astrologers had a task that had nothing to do with divination, and these were probably related to the second half of the sentence.

However, he searched through the golden pieces at the end and found no relevant description. Instead, he recorded some history of astrological associations and basic methods of observing stars. The last piece even had the principle of enlarging crystal lenses. The ancestors of the Wimbledon family seemed to have been the chief astrologer here, and also mentioned a higher-ranking steward. However, Roland briefly reviewed the family history and found that there was no content in this part.

He picked up the first piece of Jianshu again and pointed to the last half sentence, "What does this mean?"

"I... don't know much," the bachelor shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, Roland felt his right shoulder being pinched.

He couldn't help but chuckled, "Listen, rules are dead, and people are alive. The command left by his ancestors was probably correct when he was alive, but times have changed. I am not like being bound by a rule that has been hundreds of years. Now I am the king of Gray Castle, do whatever I want, do you understand?"

The Bachelor of Divergent Star widened his eyes, "What? No, you"

"Even you know that you are spending money in vain, and you don't know anything about the mystery of the fate of the world. When your father was murdered by the church, you didn't even warn me. Why do I keep you here and stare at the sky stupidly? The stars cannot be exchanged for the golden dragon. Put your luggage and prepare to go to the Western Region with me."

Thanks to the bad impression that the four princes had left in the capital of their own way of doing things and doing things recklessly, these words immediately made the face of the Miscellaneous Star Master look very ugly.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "You may regret knowing this news."

"How can I know if you don't say it?" Roland smiled. He had to say that sometimes it was quite effective to scare others as a playboy of the fourth prince. For this group of older people, he didn't want Tie Axe to ask, so he had to use this method to find the answer.

"We are on a mission that lasts for hundreds of years, starting from the initial arrival of Lord Wimbledon in this area." The bachelor calmed down before speaking, "This news is not something that cannot be told to the royal family, but it can only be revealed to the heir who became the king, and must wait until he reaches the age of thirty."

"Why?"

"Because your ancestors believed that letting the heirs know the news too early could cause them to panic and confusion, which would lead to the decline of the kingdom," he hesitated for a moment, "we are looking for the world-destroying star."

Roland was stunned, "What is that?"

"A scarlet star, or red moon, when it comes, the world will be in a disaster that will never be restored."

The prince felt a sudden thunder. Whether it was the ancient books in the ruins or the Aegas, who belonged to the Federation, mentioned the word "Red Moon" coming. Why would a secular organization pay attention to this? Does astrological associations have a close relationship with the Federation? "Speak carefully!"

"All I know is from the word of mouth of the previous chief," said Diffusion Star in a deep voice. "As the rumors are that a red star is floating in the starry sky. When it appears in the night like a crescent moon, the world will be destroyed. Our duty is to find it before it becomes the moon. If we can find its trajectory, we can predict the end of the world in advance. This is also the original intention of astrology."

"Become...the moon?"
