"Does this mean that the Godsfall cult has already made their move?" Baiyi asked.
As he spoke, he also expanded his mental strength in a wide range, but after a moment, he retracted it, and asked doubtfully, "But I don't sense any magical waves here."
"From an astrological point of view, the changes of the stars are a form of divination and prediction. The changes happen in advance, so you can't sense them now," the Astrologer replied in a solemn tone. "Although I don't know how it works because there is no specific theoretical basis, countless records since ancient times have proved that such predictions are real. The enemy's plan is about to be activated. You must believe me!" The astrologer replied in a solemn tone that he had never heard before.
"Don't you worry. At least on this matter, I'll trust you," Baiyi replied confidently.
Although astrology was called a trick by the astrologer who had studied it for his whole life, but in fact, there were some personal feelings in it. On one hand, he had come into contact with the knowledge of the earth, and he knew that the stars in this world were fake. On the other hand, astrology, which could only be used to predict natural changes, was used by his colleagues who were blinded by greed to predict the fate of people, and was regarded as a trick.
Objectively speaking, astrology was still useful; otherwise, it would not have survived from the Ancient Rohlserlian Era to the present day. The Astrologer was a fallen gentleman. Before he fell, he had devoted his entire life to studying astrology. He had memorized the positions of every star in the sky, memorized the appearances of every star in every world, and knew what every change in the stars represented. He was like a living star chart.
With his knowledge, as long as he was willing to lie and make the nobles happy, he could become the Royal Chief Astrologer and live a life of luxury and wealth.
However, he resolutely refused to associate with his fellow swindlers and stubbornly resisted the use of astrology to swindle money and power. He had become a clear stream among astrologers who had basically become a group of swindlers. However, the price of being good to himself was that he was excluded and suppressed everywhere. However, he refused to give up no matter what. Even if he was poor and obscure, he had always insisted on his own ideas. He had even written a number of related papers to expose the truth of astrology to the world and attack those who did not do proper work.
According to common sense, what he had done would at most result in him being locked up in a prison cell. However, in the end, he ended up being banished to the void. This was not without the interference of his colleagues who could not stand the sight of him.
It wasn't hard to imagine how such a stubborn scholar would feel when he learned about the knowledge on Earth and realized that what he had been studying and protecting for his entire life wasn't real. The fact that he didn't go crazy on the spot and degenerate into a perverted gentleman was already a testament to his strong will.
In fact, if he wasn't always thinking about rubbing against girls' breasts and licking their legs, he would have been a respectable, upright person. Then, he wouldn't have been so unpopular among the Voidwalkers.
Fortunately, Baiyi trusted the Astrologer's judgment in his field of expertise. However, the problem was, his judgment didn't seem to make much sense. Did it only indirectly prove that Godsfall was indeed trying to create a huge scandal?
"If that's all, why would I do all this?" The Astrologer quickly explained. "Sir Hope, please present the stone fragment chart that you obtained from Mr. Bear in your mind. I will also share a star chart with you. I will mark out the stars that have changed, and you can compare the two charts."
Baiyi hurriedly did as he was told. Suddenly, two images appeared in his mind. After thinking for a while, he tried to adjust the scale of the astrological map and superimposed the two images together. To his surprise, he found that the two images, which were originally unrelated to each other, could actually be superimposed on each other! The positions of the stars that had changed were exactly the same as the large nodes that Mr. Bear had marked!
Baiyi removed the insignificant stones that had not changed, leaving only the nodes that had affected the changes of the stars. When he put them together, they formed a formation!
"This is amazing …" Baiyi sighed inwardly.
"The stars can predict the development and reproduction of all things. This is the first saying that every Astrologer's apprentice learns. Although it may not be entirely true, it is not entirely untrue. At least, if there is a large-scale change on the ground, the stars in the sky will be able to detect it," the Astrologer said.
"More importantly, by observing the changes in the stars, I can calculate the exact location of the changes, just like how I can use the stars to predict the changes in the weather. I'm sure you understand what this means," the Astrologer said.
"Of course …" Baiyi replied, and the Book of Servitude appeared in his hand. "What's the margin of error?"
"About two to three kilometers," the Astrologer answered conservatively.
"That's more than enough! I'll just have to do it a few more times, "Baiyi replied excitedly.
There were many things that could make a sorcerer feel good, but being able to cast a forbidden spell at a place where the enemy was least expecting it to be and strike from afar was definitely the best.
Previously, Baiyi had thought of using the Book of Servitude to strike the nodes from afar. There was no shortage of forbidden spells in the Void that could strike from afar. In the past, when everyone was bored, they would tinker with various spells to pass the time. Naturally, there was no shortage of such spells that could strike from afar.
However, even without using his psychic energy to lock onto a target, Baiyi still needed a general location. After all, the Godsfall cult's formation covered a vast area, and the location that Mr. Bear had provided him was too rough. Baiyi could not even get a general idea of where the node was located, and he only knew which direction to go. Under such circumstances, using a forbidden spell would only be a matter of luck.
However, things were different now. With the Astrologer's help, the error rate was greatly reduced. Even though it was still not very accurate, with the Book of Servitude's help, the error rate was almost negligible due to the sheer quantity of the Book of Servitude.
Soon, the Astrologer provided Baiyi with a set of coordinates, and Baiyi hurriedly selected a suitable spell. He called the owl over and told it to become Mia's armor so that it could take some of the pressure off her shoulders.
The owl obeyed and left. A few moments later, Baiyi heard Mia's voice coming from the treehouse. "Eh? Mr. Owl? Why so sudden? Is Mr. Hope up to something again? You look nice, but don't you think your skirt is a little too long? "
'Why is she still wearing a short skirt at this time?' Baiyi thought to himself. However, now was not the time to lecture the little girl on proper attire. Since Mia was ready, Baiyi began to chant his first spell.
It was the God's Punishment Meteor, which Godsfall had used to attack Eom Village. As the saying went, courtesy demanded reciprocity.
As Baiyi chanted, magical formations appeared on the armor's head, chest, feet, and even on its back. Soon, the formations were dyed in a fiery red, and a dense amount of fire-elemental mana began to gather around Baiyi. The intense waves of mana caused Mr. Bear to wake up from its slumber. When it opened its eyes, it saw Baiyi finish the last syllable of his incantation, and the raging fire-elemental mana disappeared without a trace. The magical formations around Baiyi turned into streams of fiery light and shot up into the sky.
A few moments later, in a direction far, far away from Baiyi, a streak of fiery light streaked across the night sky. Then, a gigantic pillar of fire burst into the sky. Even Mr. Bear, who was so far away, could feel the earth trembling.
"Scary magic … Poor forest …" Mr. Bear sighed helplessly.
"You're awake? Can you sense the nodes again? If any of them disappear, please let me know, "Baiyi said, noticing that Mr. Bear had woken up.
"He attacked a node that was so far away from here?!" Mr. Bear's eyes widened in disbelief, but it quickly regained its composure. As it tried to sense the changes in the distance, it muttered to itself, "Is this the power of magic? No wonder the Wise Mad King gave up on the traditional path of power to pursue this destructive power … "
As soon as it finished its sentence, it was surprised to see that the node that had caused it so much discomfort had disappeared. It hurriedly looked down at the Stone Shattering Array beside it and picked up the biggest stone from it.
Baiyi immediately understood what it meant. He waited for the Astrologer to tell him the location of the second node, and he began to ponder what forbidden spell to use.
Soon, the incantation for the second long-range Earth-elemental forbidden spell was completed. However, this time, the error seemed to be a little too large. Mr. Bear shook its head as it sensed the energy ripples coming from afar. It picked up a piece of dirt and placed it on the right side of a boulder, indicating that the spell was slightly to the right.
With this, Baiyi knew what adjustments to make for the next spell. Since Mr. Bear only needed to sense the direction of the forbidden spell, it did not need to use its Nature's Vision like before. Therefore, it did not have to worry about fainting, and the spell could last for a long time.
Meanwhile, the Archmage, the Scholar Walker, and the rest of the Voidwalkers were busy tinkering with forbidden spells. They increased the range and distance of the spells that Mia could withstand.
