The director of the Wisdom Museum can be said to be a legendary figure. Not only did he be promoted from an ordinary scholar to a director in just seven years, but he also created many research results.

This person can be said to be the first person to study Far Eastern civilization. He has translated a large number of works in the Central Plains over the years after entering the Wisdom Museum, especially his accurate translation of "The Art of War" has always been favored by the senior officials of the empire.

However, in addition to being a scholar, he also has a special identity, that is, he is an astrologer and the descendant of the legendary Canaan astrology.

It’s just that he has not conducted any astrological activities for more than ten years, including night star viewing. The reason for this is not because he hates astrology, but something happened more than ten years ago.

The incident happened fifteen years ago, when he had just completed his entire astrology study from his teacher. When he was in charge of his teacher, his teacher took him to perform an exam-like stargazing.

It should have been just a relatively ordinary stargazing event, but his teacher unfortunately died during that stargazing event. Since then, he has completely given up stargazing and started to study Central Plains culture, and then became a great scholar.

But fifteen years later, he actually regained astrology.

In fact, the reason why he regained astrology was just another coincidence, which was the upcoming meeting with Zhao Weiji.

Originally, their Wisdom Museum needed to have a formal contact with Zhao Weiji because of book translation. When recruiting translation candidates, many scientists signed up to make the director interested in Zhao Weiji and Xinhua City behind him, so he decided to have a contact with Zhao Weiji first with personal information.

The contact time is about tomorrow.

Originally, it was just a meeting, and the surname was private, so something should not have happened. But the actual situation was not like this.

The night before the meeting, the director who should have fallen asleep according to his usual routine schedule has not been able to fall asleep today. A strange emotion began to appear in his heart since the sun sets, which has been bothering him and preventing him from falling asleep.

This strange emotion was the same as the one that bothered him on the day his master died, but he didn't take it seriously that day.

But because he did not take this emotion seriously that day, his master unfortunately died that night.

So when this emotion arose again this time, the director decided to regain the astrology he had given up for many years, because he realized that this time it might be to unravel the secret of his master's death.

Thinking of this, he put on his coat and walked to the balcony, ready to look up at the starry sky that he had never seen again in fifteen years.

Because his master died of stargazing inexplicably, he never looked up at the stars in the night sky in the next fifteen years.

One of the important reasons why he chose to study hard and even chose the extremely difficult Central Plains culture and Chinese characters is that he hopes to use these to divert his attention and make his nights occupied by this knowledge, so he has no time to distract himself from thinking about the dark night sky.

But today, the strange emotions fifteen years ago finally gave him the courage to face the night sky again. When he raised his head, he saw a night sky scene that he would never forget for life, and finally understood the meaning of the first half of the sentence before his death: "A strange star appears, the universe turns."

When his master took him to conduct a stargazing exam, he completely covered the director's eyes before the exam, making it impossible for him to see the starry sky.

Then he was taken to the best star-gazing spot near Baghdad to prepare for the exam. However, after arriving at the star-gazing spot, his master saw the strange phenomena in the starry sky inexplicably entering the dying stage.

So when the director heard the master's voice and unbuttoned his blindfold, he didn't care about looking at the starry sky at all. When he went to check out his master's abnormality, the master grabbed his clothes and said a few words. The first sentence was to give up stargazing and stop looking up at the starry sky. The second sentence was the previous sentence.

Although I don’t know what the master died inexplicably because he saw, as a master astrology master, he actually wanted to completely give up stargazing and astrology. This sentence brought an incredible shock to the director.

The last words of the master's death at home made the director never look up at the starry sky from that moment on, never once.

However, although he had never looked up at the starry sky in fifteen years, his knowledge of astrology was still there, so he could still remember the star chart of their Canaan astrology without any fault.

But why did he finally understand the first half of the sentence of Master before his death? It was because a star appeared in the starry sky. Although it was not very dazzling, it was very eye-catching. This was a star that was not in the star map.

Before that night, the director had never seen this star during the countless stargazings. This should be what the master called a strange star.

However, since there has not been astrology research for many years, the curator at this moment cannot understand what the second half of the master's words means.

However, not understanding what it means does not mean that the director does not intend to pay attention to this star, because this star is quite close to his main star chart at this moment.

The director was puzzled by why this happened. In order to figure out the problem clearly, he did not fall asleep all night.

It was not until the next day that the servant reminded him that there was a guest coming to the door today that he woke up. He had been thinking about it all night, so he hurried to wash and change clothes, preparing to welcome Zhao Weiji's door.

However, while washing up, he was surprised to find that the abnormal emotion had disappeared. I don’t know when it was, but at this time he didn’t have much energy to worry about this issue anymore, because the important guests would come soon.

Probably not long after, the old man Kendi took Zhao Weiji to the director's home. However, not only Kendi and Zhao Weiji, but also Wang Dayuan, because Zhao Weiji needed Wang Dayuan as the translator.

However, what surprised Zhao Weiji was that when the director greeted them at the gate, he actually greeted them in fluent Song Dynasty Mandarin. Although the accent was a little strange, it was undoubtedly the Song Dynasty Mandarin.

"Welcome, welcome, respected Prince of the Song Empire, Lord Zhao Weiji." The director said the welcome speech as he bowed to Zhao Weiji.

The director welcomed Zhao Weiji in the Song Dynasty's official language, but he quickly regained his peace and gave a gift to the director.

"I didn't expect that the Director's Song Dynasty's official language was so smooth. It's really amazing. I wonder what the Director calls him?"

"In Xia Jiabal, Muhammad, you can just call me Jabbar. I am a researcher of Central Plains culture, so I naturally understand some official language of the Song Dynasty."

"You are so polite, Your Excellency Jabbar. I will recommend some for you. This is my companion, Wang Dayuan." Zhao Weiji said, signaling Wang Dayuan to come and salute.

After seeing Wang Dayuan coming to pay his respects, Director Jabbar hurriedly replied.

"It turned out to be Wang Dayuan and Wang Huanzhang. I have been admired for a long time. Several of the Great Song merchants who taught me the Song Dynasty's Mandarin have mentioned you to me."

When Wang Dayuan was a little flattered when he heard that the director knew his name, he quickly said a few polite words.

After a while of greeting at the gate, the director quickly invited them into the home. However, the moment Zhao Weiji entered the director's home, the feeling of the night before returned to the director, which surprised the director.

Although he was surprised, the director did not show it. Instead, he led Zhao Weiji and others into the house and took them to the living room to do it, and then asked the servant to serve drinks and snacks.

At this time, the director was not in the mood to explore the reason why he came back. At this moment, he hoped to understand why so many technical personnel signed up to go to the distant Xinhua City.

So at this moment, he stopped being polite and asked Zhao Weiji directly: "Prince, I have a question below to ask the prince for advice?"

"Would you like."

"Our Smart Hall has roughly agreed to your request. You only need to have a meeting with our entire senior management in a few days and sign an agreement."

"This is a good thing."

"But when we recruited translation volunteers, we encountered a strange thing, that is, many scholars who did not engage in translation research in the past and who were named technical candidates signed up to go to Xinhua City. Can you provide me with clues to answer this question?"

When Zhao Weiji heard about Kareem Kareem's question, he was immediately happy because his plan worked. After he had confirmed that he would return to the Smart Hall, he sent someone to quietly reveal some of the relationship between gold coins and cotton cloth and Xinhua City, as well as some other technical descriptions to the technicians in the Smart Hall.

These are undoubtedly fatal attraction for scholars who have been dealing with technology and science all year round, so when they learn that they have the opportunity to go to Xinhua City, of course, regardless of whether the official needs talents like them, they will sign up first.

"I can only reveal a little clue to you about your question, that is, our Xinhua City has a lot of knowledge beyond your imagination. I think it is those things that attract those scholars."

If Zhao Weiji's words were said to any Arab who did not understand the Central Plains, they would definitely be sure of what they said. However, Jia Bal is a Zhongyuan master. Although he has never been to the Central Plains, he has dealt with merchants from the Central Plains over the years and has obtained books from the Central Plains from them. Therefore, he still knows the techniques of the Central Plains.

Judging from the Central Plains technology he learned, he did not think there was anything that could attract these scholars to travel thousands of miles, because a lot of excellent knowledge had been learned by Arabs.

But just as he was thinking this, Zhao Weiji took out a small box from his pocket, then took out a small stick with a small bump on its head from the box, and scratched the side of the box.

After just a moment of stroke, the little stick actually started to burn itself, and Zhao Weiji used the burning flames on the little stick to ignite the candlestick in front of Jabbar.

This made him convinced that Zhao Weiji's words should be true.
