In this continent of the Origin World, there was a saying: The stars in the sky were the portrayal of the soul itself. Every soul born in this world would have a star that corresponded to their own fate and power.
What was important to note was that this was not an ancient story or a romantic legend among astrologers, but a fact.
A fact.
Everyone on this continent would have a star that corresponded to them when they were born, and these stars would be recorded for preservation and identity verification. In Fangzheng's eyes, this method was no different from fingerprint and DNA verification in his own world, but ….. there were still some differences.
And now, Fangzheng was here to verify his thoughts.
According to the memories of the original owner in his mind, Fangzheng was sure that if the Country of Saints issued a wanted order, then the "Star Mark" of this body would be attached. It was just like how a fingerprint comparison was necessary to catch a fugitive. If his "Star Mark" was the same as the "Star Mark" of the fugitive, then no matter how he dressed up or what he changed into, he would not be able to escape the eyes of the executioners.
After understanding this point, Fangzheng had a very bold idea.
If the birth of a soul corresponded to a star, then the soul of this body had already died. Did his rebirth mean that a star that belonged to him would be born in this starry sky?
If his guess was correct, then as long as he could obtain the "Star Mark", he could completely erase the possible remaining problems of this body. At that time, even if the knights of the Country of Saints found him, as long as they could not match the "Star Mark", they would not be able to arrest him. The Country of Saints believed in the Goddess of Order, so they could not blatantly overthrow their own laws and beliefs.
This was the same logic as in his own world, where the prosecution couldn't find the corresponding fingerprints and DNA, so they couldn't send the criminal to court. Of course, if you wanted to, you could also make it a false case, but don't blame Fangzheng for being ruthless.
This was also another reason why Fangzheng came to this city. The official Star Coat of Arms could only be issued in the city hall. At the same time, this was also a procedure that foreigners had to go through when they came to live here. After all, not everyone would run around with their identity documents. Sometimes, as long as they verified the Star Coat of Arms and confirmed that they were not on the wanted list, they could at least get a "good citizen certificate."
Fangzheng clearly remembered the "Star Mark" of the original owner of this body. What he needed to do now was to confirm whether his "Star Mark" was the same as the original owner's. If they didn't agree, then the plan could continue. If they agreed, then Fangzheng could leave in the shortest time possible. Although running to the wilderness to join forces with the cultists and mercenaries was not Fangzheng's original intention, if it didn't work out, this was the only way.
It's here.
Looking at the heavy wooden door in front of him, Fangzheng took a deep breath. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Soon, an indistinct voice came from behind the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the other party's response, Fangzheng pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked into the room.
The room looked a little dim. There wasn't a ceiling above him, but a round dome made of glass. On both sides of the wall were bookshelves full of thick books, making the whole astrology room look more like a small library. In the middle of the room was a heavy and wide desk. Behind the desk sat a short figure in a black robe. From his appearance ….. he didn't look much different from a fortune-telling wizard.
"I'm here for an astrological authentication."
Fangzheng came to the desk and handed over the document in his hand. As for the other party, he sat in his chair and looked motionlessly at the documents Fangzheng had placed on the table before nodding.
"Please put your hand on the crystal ball. You may begin."
The Astrologer's voice was a little low, but Fangzheng didn't care. He followed the Astrologer's instructions and placed his hands on the crystal ball in front of him. Then, the Astrologer reached out his hand and placed it on the other side of the crystal ball. He chanted a few incantations in a low voice.
"Hum —"
In the next moment, the originally transparent crystal ball shimmered with beams of light. Following that, a blob of darkness gradually appeared. Following that, stars appeared in it. From afar, it looked like the star chart of the Milky Way that Fangzheng had seen on television. But ….. what did it mean? Fangzheng couldn't understand it at all.
But the Astrologer in front of him didn't seem to be the same. After seeing Fangzheng's astrology, the Astrologer couldn't help but scream and stand up.
"Huh?!"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Looking at the Astrologer's actions, Fangzheng's heart tightened, but he still put on a curious expression and looked at the Astrologer. At the same time, Fangzheng began to silently calculate what he should do next. If his identity was exposed, should he leave directly? Or should he kill the Astrologer before leaving?
"Ah, no … .there's no problem … .it's just …."
The Astrologer was completely unaware that his life was in danger. He lowered his body and carefully looked at the crystal ball, then muttered to himself.
"This astrology … .is very rare … .that … .sir, can you allow me to record it?"
"This …."
Hearing the Astrologer's answer, Fangzheng finally relaxed. He frowned and pretended to be hesitant. In the end, he reluctantly asked.
"Is this a necessary step?"
"Ah, no, no, no, it's not, sir."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the Astrologer hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's just that this rare astrology is very valuable for research, so I want to ask if you allow me to record it."
"Hmm …."
This time, Fangzheng didn't answer immediately. He pretended to be thinking, and at the same time, he secretly recalled the function of astrology. For ordinary people, astrology was something similar to "fingerprints" and "DNA" verification. For professionals, astrology was also the source of their power. There were also rumors that some very rare ancient astrologers could predict a person's fate through the orbit of the stars.
The so-called rare astrology was actually a bit similar to the rare supernova explosions in Fangzheng's world. It could be said that apart from professional circles, these things had no effect on the outside world. For example, people in Fangzheng's world were talking about gravitational waves, but for 95% of the public, there was no difference whether they existed or not.
"Okay."
After thinking for a moment, Fangzheng nodded. Hearing his answer, the Astrologer seemed very happy. He hurriedly stood up and thanked Fangzheng while walking to the bookshelf next to him.
"Thank you, sir. You're such a good person. I promise I won't leak this astrology record. By the way, where's my record book … .whoa!"
It was unknown if he was too excited, but the astrologer accidentally stepped on his robe. He screamed and fell forward. Fangzheng, who was beside him, was quick to catch him.
At this moment, Fangzheng realized that something was amiss.
Because he clearly felt a soft touch, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
"That, that …"
At this moment, the Astrologer also raised his head. The hood fell off his head, revealing a head full of thick, dark brown curly hair and a fair and cute little face.
It was a young girl. On the surface, she seemed to be around the same age as the owner of the body that Fangzheng had reincarnated into.
Maybe even smaller.
At this moment, the girl's face was completely red as she stared blankly at him.
"Are you all right, miss?"
Looking at his expression, Fangzheng coughed and let go of his right hand. The girl stared at him blankly, and after a moment, she suddenly let out a low cry, hugging her head as she squatted down and curled up into a ball.
"…"
"…"
For a moment, the air became quiet again.
