GOR Chapter 16: Dead Knot
"The stars in the night sky, the positions of the stars, are filled with endless mysteries. Their positions would undergo some strange changes as time passed, and these changes had always been regarded as some kind of hint that the gods had bestowed upon humans. People often believe that astrologers are people who specialize in studying the riddles left behind by the Gods for mankind.
"However, all of this is wrong!
The stars also contain an endless amount of power. These forces are even more powerful than the huge storms, the raging floods, the monstrous flames, and everything else that we have seen! It is so powerful that … it makes me suspicious.
Such a powerful force, could it also be created by the Gods?
"Also, these stars, it seems that they have been hanging in the sky since ancient times! They have been like this since a long time ago, even before we know of them. Perhaps even before our world was created!
"If so, were these stars really created by the Gods? According to all the books that could be found, as well as the religious classics, whenever the stars were mentioned, the most unified explanation was: "The stars are decorations that the gods left in the sky when they created this world to embellish the beauty of this world at night. At the same time, the gods will change the position of the stars according to their own moods and the changes in the world. These changes are often the inspiration that they leave for humans."
"Yes, according to these explanations, the stars seemed to have been created at the same time as our world was created, as an accessory to the night sky … but, is that really the case?
"Six years ago, when I was 34 years old, there was a change in the stars in the sky. At night, there were stars falling from the sky. All the astrologers were desperately trying to figure out what kind of hint the Gods left for us. However, I, began to choose another path …
"According to the direction of the falling stars that night, I looked up all the information that I could find and decided to find the falling star! "I spent a total of three years, walking all over the northern part of the continent, and finally, I found it!"
After saying that, Saimel's illusion gently raised her hand. One of her palms emerged from the red robe, palm facing upwards. In her hand was a small piece of black stone the size of a fist.
"This is the 'falling star' that I found. Look, it looks like a piece of rock from the outside! Of course, I only had a small piece in my hand. When I found it, it was as big as a house. Moreover, I could see the terrain of the area. When it fell, it created a huge crater in the ground. I could even see that there had been a terrible fire there. The forest had been burned to ashes, and the plains had been smashed into a valley! That kind of destructive power, I'm afraid that only the most powerful Forbidden Spells can achieve that. "
Du Wei couldn't help but sigh.
In Du Wei's eyes, this female Astrology master named Saimel was really amazing!
At the very least, in this place where everything was revered and worshipped by the gods, she dared to raise questions … Furthermore, from a certain point of view, she was already somewhat close to the truth!
"What's hard to imagine is that the so-called star is just a huge rock. More importantly, this stone was completely different from any known material in this world! It's hard, and it's filled with a kind of magic absorption … I spent a lot of time and looked for many experienced magic alchemists, and even some old blacksmiths, but none of them could recognize this new 'material'! In other words … this star is not even from our world! " Saimel's phantom began to flicker. Obviously, this was a sign that her magic was about to run out. Du Wei quickly pulled himself together, and at the same time, prayed that this magic could last for a little longer.
"From then on, I began to question all the theories in the literature about the gods creating this world. If the gods created this world, gave this world all life, gave this world day and night, and the alternation of the four seasons … Then, may I ask, who was the one who made all these laws? Was it the gods?
I spent almost my entire life studying the stars, and finally found out that the so-called 'the changes in the position of the stars in the sky are a revelation given to humans by the gods' … This kind of saying is simply ridiculous! I spent ten years recording and studying the positions of the stars in the sky. Then, in these ten years, I studied and recorded the positions of these stars every night.
Gradually, on some nights, when the sky darkened and dark clouds covered the night sky, I couldn't use my naked eyes to observe the stars. At this time, I could only find another way … I thought of magic … Since magic can be used to sense all the minute changes in nature, then, when I can't see the stars, can I use magic to sense the position of the stars?
Finally, I discovered the power of the stars! And if I can use this power, then I can use the power of the stars, just like how mages use the power of nature!
And after finding a way to sense the power of the stars, I discovered something that surprised me!
This is … the power of the stars, it can't only be sensed at night!
Even during the day when the sun is high up in the sky, I can still use meditation to expand my spiritual senses and sense the existence of the stars! They exist in the sky! No matter if it's day or night! It's just that during the day, their light is covered by the strong sun!
Ten years have passed, and I spent ten years recording the positions of the stars that I observed. I found that although there were some changes, they were actually changes according to a certain pattern of reincarnation! All of this is like a cycle! For example, a star, it is in the east during the summer, in the west during the winter, and then in the second year, it will go to the east again … Everything seems to follow a certain path, repeating the cycle!
So, this is definitely not a revelation given to humans by the gods! It is also not a riddle left behind by the gods! All of this is repeating according to a certain pattern — the rules of the stars! The rules of the stars! "
Saimel's phantom gradually weakened. This was the moment when her spiritual power was about to be exhausted.
Her voice became very serious. "The Shrines told us that the stars are a riddle and a revelation left behind by the gods. In the end, I found out that the position of the stars seems to be changing according to a set of fixed rules, and it has nothing to do with the riddle of the gods. The Shrines told us that the stars are embellishments left behind by the gods in the night sky. In the end, I found out that the existence of the stars is not limited to the night sky. Even during the bright day, although invisible to the naked eye, they exist as well. The Shrines told us that the world was created by the gods. In the end, I found out that the texture of the stars is a type of stone that I have never seen before. It does not belong to any material known to our world."
The great female astrologer finally raised her head and gave her final conclusion. "I began to doubt whether the stars were created by the gods … In the end, I began to doubt the so-called … gods!"
Looking at the phantom of the female astrologer in front of him, Du Wei suddenly felt his heart filled with respect for this woman! Because she was the first person Du Wei met who dared to question and challenge common sense and authority after coming to this world!
Compared to those who wholeheartedly believe in "God created everything", this woman who dared to raise questions and question authority and spent her entire life on research, is more worthy of Du-Wei's respect.
"My life's research is hidden in this room. The rows of cabinets here are the things I left behind for you. The door outside is a trap I left behind. If you don't pay attention to the hints I left behind about the stars, then you can only find the location of the fake door outside. Behind the fake door, there are only some worldly treasures. This is the real legacy that I, Saimel # 8226, Kira # 8226, Rollin, have left in this world! "
Suddenly, the pillar of light flashed, and then the light began to dim. The phantom of the female astrologer gradually became blurred, and her voice began to weaken.
"The last hint is that in the oil painting in the study, there is a magical creature I created. I sealed it in the oil painting, and it will be your guide to learn all this. And everything in this room, you must have its help and guidance when you study. All the spells of the stars I created, for safety, I didn't leave them on paper. I left them to the magical creature. You must release it from the seal.
My child, although I don't know how many years it will take you to discover this place, I believe that in the great Rowling family, there will be a genius in magic. You should understand that my life's research and discovery questioned the authority of the gods. Such a thing is certainly unacceptable to this world! Especially those who represented authority, they would think of ways to destroy them. I can't leave all this behind openly, so I can only use this secret method.
That magical creature, I cast a spell on it. It can only be resurrected at night, and during the day, it will fall into a deep sleep … Haha, this way, it's the same as the stars, it can't be seen by the naked eye during the day. Moreover, only people with strong mental strength can see its existence at night. I believe that since you can come here, your mental strength should be enough to become an excellent magician. I can teach you all the Star Magic that I created … Remember this incantation. You can use this incantation to unlock the seal on the painting outside. After this incantation is released, it will listen to your orders unconditionally … And from now on, everything will depend on your hard work. "
The female astrologer slowly said the last sentence of the spell, she pronounced every word clearly, and then slowly made a few fingerprints with her fingers … Du Wei carefully remembered all of this, and then … With a whoosh, the light suddenly flashed, and then suddenly disappeared!
The room suddenly fell into darkness. Du Wei quickly lit the candle, and checked the room. When he felt that there was nothing to do for the time being, Du Wei carefully returned to the way he came, crawling all the way back along the secret path.
When he returned to the study, Du Wei was already covered in dust, but fortunately, there was a large pile of dusty account books in the study, so the dust on his body was not difficult to explain.
After closing the secret door on the bookshelf, Du Wei walked to the front of the oil painting, "I went in and saw everything. Including her last words. "
The pair of eyes in the oil painting seemed to be relieved, and then showed a trace of pleading.
Du Wei understood what it meant and said with a smile, "You want to ask me how to undo your seal? Oh, I have already found it, she left behind a spell. However, there is clearly a slight mistake … "
Du Wei gave a wry smile.
The first hint that Saimel left behind was about the oil painting on the wall! And to be able to see the oil painting, one must have a strong spiritual force! And those with a strong spiritual force were almost certainly magicians! Even if they were not magicians, they could still learn magic!
Saimel's Star Magic required a magician to learn and inherit it. Thus, she left behind such a trap.
If one could not see the moving figure in the oil painting, it meant that one did not have enough spiritual force and talent for magic.
And those who could see it could learn magic … then, the spell that Saimel left behind could undo the seal on the oil painting!
However, even the smart Saimel would not have thought that after so many years, the Rowling family would give birth to a freak like Du Wei!
He clearly had an outstanding talent for spiritual power! But when it came to sensing magic, he had no talent at all!
In other words, Du Wei could not use the spell that Saimel left behind to undo the seal, he could not undo the seal on the oil painting.
Without this magical creature that Saimel left behind … he would not be able to learn the Star Magic that Saimel left behind! Because all the magic spells were recorded by the creature in the oil painting!
It was as if he had fallen into a strange deadlock, wasn't it?
Du Wei could not help but give a wry smile.
He was obviously guarding a huge treasure, and the door was already open for him, but he could not enter. This kind of feeling was really a little helpless …
Suddenly, Du Wei's eyes lit up … Didn't I catch a magician?
That guy could use the lowest level of magic and use the highest level of "Instant Cast Spell", maybe …
