Maya thought for a while and decided to give up. If it was that easy to figure out the mysteries behind the ruins, Flunza and Rhine wouldn't have been so helpless.
Instead of thinking too much, Maya decided to just tell Rhine. He had been guarding the ruins for a long time. Maybe he knew something.
Thinking of this, Maya did not continue to ponder. She raised her head and looked around. At this time, almost all the people in the Stargazing Hall except for the observers had left.
Maya turned to Dodoro and said, "Let's go."
When Maya was about to leave with Dodoro, a slightly evil voice came from behind. "Hold on a second, Witch Maya."
When Maya heard this voice, she frowned subconsciously. She turned around and saw that it was the "Hung Loser" Schkel, the one she disliked the most among the Observers.
Schker's appearance was filled with a wild, evil, and handsome charm. He was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, and one could see that his muscular body was covered in thick black hair. Together with the goat horns on his head and the iron chains on his ankles, he looked like an imprisoned demon recorded in an ancient leather scroll. He wanted to use his charming words to lure the drowning victim into his trap.
Schker did not bother to hide his voice. When he called out to Maya, he also attracted the attention of other observers.
They watched as Schkel walked toward Maya with a long iron chain in his hand.
Schkel bowed to Maya gracefully. If it weren't for the evil look in his eyes and the strange smile on his face, he would have looked like a noble gentleman.
"How can I help you, Mister Schkel?" Maya was still as indifferent as ever. She didn't call out the Observer's name, which meant that she didn't care about him at all.
This was also very normal. Schkel was the youngest among the observers, but he had been slacking on the stargazing day all year round. Almost every stargazing day, he did not report the prophecies he saw. In fact, this had already caused a lot of criticism from many prophets. Some even said, "A disqualified person is really disqualified." Coupled with the fact that Schker had fused with the bloodline of the Goat-Horned Demon, his wanton behavior made many witches dislike him. He was often singled out as a target during tea parties.
Maya's state of mind had long since passed the age of love. The reason why she disdained Schker was that Schker's strength did not live up to his name, and that he was somewhat disrespectful to women.
Schkel didn't mind Maya's attitude. He just smiled and said, "I'm here to thank you for sharing such a good prophecy with me."
"It's my duty. I also hope to hear Mister Schkel's speech tomorrow."
Schkel smiled but didn't say anything.
Maya raised an eyebrow. "It seems that Mister Schkel still doesn't want to speak tomorrow? That's fine. I have to go now. "
"Wait." Schkel stopped her.
Maya was impatient.... She didn't think Schkel was worthy of the title, but he was still an Observer............
Maya wanted to hear what Schkel had to say, but she noticed that Schkel was looking at Dodoro.
"There's something I want to talk to your student about. Is that okay?" Schicker looked at Dodoro, but his words were meant for Maya's ears.
Maya could see that Schkel was looking at Dodoro with great interest.
Maya realized that Dodoro didn't stop her to thank her for sharing the prophecy. He was here for Dodoro.
Maya frowned. "If you have anything to say, you can say it here."
Schkel was still looking at Dodoro. He wanted to hear Dodoro's answer.
"I'll listen to you, Professor."
Schkel shrugged. "Alright. Actually, what I want to say isn't anything secretive. There's no harm in saying it here." Schkel paused for a second and reached out his hand to touch Dodoro, but Maya stopped him with her cane.
What are you doing? Maya didn't say anything, but her eyes told Schkel something.
"This is the Observatory Hall. I won't hurt Dodoro. I just want to confirm some things, "Schkel said to Maya. His tone was less sinister, and there was a hint of negotiation in it.
Maya didn't put down her cane. She still looked at Schkel cautiously. Clearly, she didn't trust him.
"Fine. I just want to know Dodoro's past." Schkel shrugged.
"I have a feeling that Dodoro is estranged from the present time. It's as if he's not living in the present, but in some unknown era. "
Schkel's words caused some of the Observers to look at Dodoro. However, no one could see Dodoro's past. It was as if he was shrouded in a fog.
Maya noticed that more and more people were looking at Dodoro.
She knew that Dodoro's identity would be exposed one day, but now was not the right time to do so.
"Don't you think Dodoro's time is a bit strange?"
Faced with Schker's confession and doubts, Maya was silent for a long time. She did not want to answer, but she also knew that it was not only Schkel who was asking, but also the attitude of the other observers.
Maya said, "Everyone has secrets. It's not a peaceful thing to pry into other people's secrets for no reason."
"I'm just curious. It's up to Dodoro to answer, isn't it?" Schkel said.
Both Maya and Schkel looked at Dodoro, but Dodoro remained calm as if he wasn't the center of attention.
"The answer is obvious. My student doesn't want to talk about it."
Schkel didn't give up. "How about this? I'll give you a slot in the Temple of Time in exchange for your secret. What do you think?"
"Of course. A slot in the Temple of Time is precious. Not only do I need your secret, but I also need you to be my assistant for twenty years."
Maya was about to drag Dodoro away, but Schkel's words made her pull her hand back.
A slot in the Temple of Time … It was the biggest treasure in the Starliege Temple other than the Star Mystery.
The Star Mystery was open to the public, but the Temple of Time was a secret.
Maya wasn't the only one who was surprised. Was it worth it to trade a slot in the Temple of Time for an apprentice's secret? As for making Dodoro Schkel's assistant, it wasn't a punishment either.
Outsiders might think that Schker was not worthy of his position, but the Observer knew Schker's strength. Although he could not be said to be the best at prophecy, he was definitely not the worst. Moreover, he often saw things that even the Starliege Temple couldn't see.
If Dodoro could become Schkel's assistant for twenty years, it would be the best way for him to train.
Maya remained silent after hearing Schkel's offer. She didn't want to, but she believed that Dodoro wouldn't lose anything by agreeing to it.
Maya believed that the secret of the Progenitors would be exposed sooner or later. Now wasn't the best time, but she was willing to accept such a great reward.
However, neither Maya nor anyone else could make the decision for Dodoro.
It was Dodoro's own decision. After all, it was his secret.
