Chapter 15: [The Greatest Female Astrologer]

Chapter 15 Study Treasure II - The Greatest Female Astrologer

Du Wei picked up a candlestick. After thinking for a while, he took off a hanging weapon from the wall, of course, considering his current weak physical strength, he chose a short sword. After a slight hesitation, Du Wei picked up a few new candles and put them into his arms.

Then Du Wei walked into the secret room on the wall.

The faint candle flame can only illuminate the space about two or three steps before and after, fortunately, Du Wei's innate spiritual power is stronger than ordinary people, and his sense of surroundings is also much stronger.

This is a secret passage embedded in a huge stone wall, both sides are cold and hard stone, I don't know how many years old, this secret passage is full of dust, although Du Wei has tried his best to relax every movement, but he still can't avoid stirring up dust and sneezing.

From time to time, his feet would step on some small stones, and the candle flame was flickering, and Du Wei could only stagger forward so carefully.

Fortunately, the place still seems to be ventilated, and although the candle flame flickered, it was not extinguished by the lack of oxygen in the air.

The secret passage walked for a while, a step appeared in front of it, a spiraling step went straight to the ground, the steps were very narrow, and they were also made of stone, which seemed a little rough, but fortunately it was strong enough, just all the way down, according to Du Wei's mental estimate, after walking about thirty layers of steps, he finally saw a small door.

The metal doorknob said that it had long been rusted, and Du Wei held the doorknob and twisted it hard, but found that the door was locked, and the door could not be opened at all. He sighed, and suddenly remembered the sentence engraved on the bookshelf in his mind...

"The spoon is the key..."

Du Wei thought for a while, raised the candle and shone around in front of the door, and finally saw a pattern on the ceiling above the head of the room above the door.

This is a carved pattern, according to the pattern above, Du Wei can barely recognize that this seems to be an astrological chart, he is not very researched on the stars, but because he remembered the "spoon" problem in his mind, he clearly found the "Big Dipper" shaped like a spoon on this astrological chart.

"The spoon is the key..." muttered Du Wei, the ceiling was a bit high for the thirteen-year-old, and even if he stood on tiptoe, his hands could not reach the ceiling. Through the dim candlelight, Du Wei carefully studied this pattern.

One candle was almost burned out, and when Du Wei lit the second candle, his heart suddenly moved, and he remembered an important question!

Key?

Joke!

If this secret passage is discovered, then even if the person who comes in does not have the key, will not find a tool to pry this door open? Without a key, this door can be smashed open by rough means.

That being the case, the key is less important. But the prompt is so special to indicate "key", then there must be a different meaning!

That is to say, if there is no key, other methods such as smashing or prying open are ineffective.

This "key", I'm afraid, cannot be interpreted literally.

Du Wei sat down and thought for a while, and when he stood up again, he jumped up as hard as he could, raised the short sword in his hand and barely knocked on the pattern of the Big Dipper on the ceiling.

Bang!

Du Wei's eyes lit up! The sound seemed a little empty.

He gave up his attempt to pay attention to the door, but bent down, found a gap in the stone slab on the ground, and then inserted the short sword into the gap fiercely, so that the short sword stood on the ground, and then Du Wei reluctantly supported the wall and stepped on the short sword, so that he stood a little higher, although it was still a little shaky, but he could barely reach out and touch the ceiling.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ceiling, and Du Wei fumbled for a while, and could feel that the star pattern on the Big Dipper was obviously different from other places, and he tried some methods, knocking, twisting, turning, and so on.

Finally, he didn't know where he touched, turned it hard, and actually twisted a star stone, and with a click, a floor in the corner of the wall suddenly fell!

A black passage appeared on the ground, and in the passage were steps all the way down!

It's done!

Du Wei let out a low sigh and jumped down from the hilt of his short sword with a smile.

Sure enough, this is a trick! Du Wei was convinced that his guess was correct.

This rusty gate next to it is simply a trick! The real secret is not at all in this door! If the people who come here do not pay attention to the "Big Dipper" according to the prompt, even if they use brute force to open the door, they will not find the real secret here!

Du Wei was convinced that the real secret of this place lay in this black passage that sank into the ground!

He walked to the side of the passage, this entrance is very narrow, only a person can barely enter, the inside is dark, Du Wei first lit a candle and threw it in, by the falling candlelight, you can see that the steps below are not deep, about two or three meters high, it should be a secret room.

Du Wei did not go down immediately, but sat at the entrance of this passage and waited for a while, seeing that there was nothing abnormal below, and then carefully went down the steps.

•;

It was a closed room on all sides, surrounded on all sides by closed stone walls, and on both sides of the walls were rows of iron cabinets, many of which were sealed, and the locks on them were all rusted. And in the middle is a huge stone platform.

This stone platform is about the height of Du Wei's waist, and there are many esoteric and difficult to read patterns on the table, with a large arc in the middle, and all the surrounding dots are the positions of the stars.

Du Wei looked at it for a while, feeling clueless, and then simply gave up the study of the pattern on the table and concentrated on searching on the iron cabinet next to it.

The iron cabinets here are all locked, because of the age, I am afraid that the locks inside have long been rusted to death. Du Wei worked hard for a long time, and just when he felt a little depressed, finally, he cheered and found a drawer that was not locked!

This is also the only drawer on the entire iron cabinet that is not locked!

After opening, a stone box lay quietly in a drawer.

On this stone blind man, a Rollin family coat of arms is engraved on the front!

Du Wei lifted the box with difficulty, then sat down on the ground and carefully opened it. Inside the box was a roll of parchment.

The roll of parchment was densely packed with some words, and after unfolding the parchment, a hexagonal green crystal in the shape of a jewel fell from the roll.

Du Wei patiently lit the third candle he brought, and then quietly read the words on this parchment...

"Dear reader,

you must be a descendant of the Rollin family. So the first thing you have to know is that this is a letter from your ancestors, and I wrote it.She is the wife of the seventh generation patriarch of the Rollin family, the astrologer Semel. Seeing

the first two sentences, Du Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Astrologer, Semel?

Of course, Du Wei knew that in the history of the Rollin family, there was a peculiar family patriarch, who was very interested in astrology and even married a female astrologer. And the family castle where Du Wei is now, the tallest building of the castle, a tall white tower, was specially built by the family patriarch back then, so that his astrologer wife could stay on the tall tower at night to better observe the stars in the night sky!

What Du Wei didn't expect was that this letter was actually from the handwriting of the patriarch's wife, a female astrologer!

He continued reading.

"... As you read this letter, hopefully you will understand that what you will face next will be a risky adventure. You may open a door that has been forbidden for countless eras, because it is likely that behind this door will be a forbidden realm that cannot be touched by humans.

At the same time, this is also the result of my life's research.

If you are ready for adventure, you can take the gem wrapped in this letter, and then you carefully explore the stone table in the room, and you will find an opening, and after inserting the gem, you will get the most complete information I have left. And in order to ensure that the inheritance of information does not fall into the hands of outsiders, the blood of the Rollin family bloodline must be required to start the information, please drop your blood on the gemstone, and the bloodline of the Rollin family will guide you to the information I left behind.

At the end of the letter, there is another line:

"May the great Rollin family prosper, because of my husband, I am deeply in love with this family!"

Your ancestor, Semel; Kira•; Luo Lin left a word"

Du Wei read it in one breath, and his heart couldn't help but be a little more shocked!

Because based on the family history he has seen, he is interested in Semel; Kira•; Rollin (real name is Semel; Kira. It was only after marrying into the Luolin family that he was given the surname of the Luolin family) The impression of the name is very deep.

This woman is the wife of the seventh generation patriarch of the family, a famous female astrology master, and in the field of astrology, she is worthy of admiration! Du Wei's enlightenment teacher, the old scholar Rossiat and also an astrologer, was full of respect when he occasionally mentioned Du Wei's ancestor's wife during the year and a half he had educated. He even accidentally mentioned that this female astrologer named Semel almost seemed to be the best astrologer in the empire in the past two hundred years!

And what impressed Du Wei about this name was not because this Saimer was a great master of astrology, but for another reason.

Because, in the records of the Luolin family that Du Wei has seen, this female astrology master is also a woman who loves her husband deeply.

The seventh generation patriarch of the Luolin family, who married her, did not live long, and died at about fifty years old. This female master of astrology, who was apparently an infatuated woman, committed suicide and died on the third day after her husband's death on the tall white tower that his husband had built for her.

And before she died, the master astrologer carved a sentence on her tower:

"Because of love, we will live forever."

It is precisely because of this last words that Du Wei remembers the famous woman in the history of this family.

Without the slightest hesitation, Du Wei immediately lay down and groped under the stone platform, and soon found the socket mentioned in the letter.

The size of the socket is exactly the same as the shape of that gemstone. Du Wei immediately cut his finger without hesitation and dripped a drop of blood onto the gemstone.

As the gem was inserted into that socket. Du Wei subconsciously took two steps back...

In the dim secret room, suddenly, a strong light erupted from those patterns on the square stone platform in front of him, and this light illuminated the entire room like daylight! That strong light even pierced Du Wei unable to open his eyes!

Immediately, these rays of light gathered together little by little, and finally formed a pillar of light on the stone platform, and in the middle of the pillar of light, a figure appeared!

This is not a real person, but a very real person-like phantom put together by these rays of light!

The size of this phantom is no different from a real person, and Du Wei couldn't help but open his eyes!

He suddenly reacted to something very important!

This Semel, this legendary female astrologer, is probably also an excellent magician! Because of all that happened just now, as well as this phantom in front of you, is clearly a kind of magic!!

The phantom light gradually dimmed down, and finally the strength of the light was just right enough for the human eye to bear.

Du Wei was finally able to see clearly the figure standing in the pillar of light.

A woman wearing a red robe, with long silver hair like snow, her whole body is shrouded in a bright red robe, a face is extremely beautiful, and her eyes seem to be gentle, but the pair of black eyes makes Du Wei feel a trace of enchantment.

"O one who opened the message, I am your ancestor Semel; Kira•; Rollin. The phantom slowly spoke, "This is the last magical message I left behind before I died." The magic array I left behind needs to be opened with the magic crystal that has been instilled with my own magic power, plus the bloodline of the Luolin family. Since you can see this message, it means that you are a descendant of the Rollin family, and you can also get all my unreserved secrets.

Du Wei looked at this lifelike and beautiful woman in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart!

You can use a magic array to keep a message for a hundred years! Such a magic skill is already a super first-class magic master!! This Saimer actually has such skills!

"I have no way of knowing how many years have passed since you activated this message, or how much mana I have left in the magic crystal, so please listen to everything I say, because I am afraid that no magic power can activate this magic array a second time."

Semel's phantom said slowly.

Although he knew that the Saimer in front of him was not a real person, but just a phantom left behind, Du Wei couldn't help but nod.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that what I leave you may bring you endless benefits or endless troubles. Because of my life's work, no one but my husband knows about it. People who open this message, since you can get here, then you must have a certain understanding of astrology, at least astrology. So first of all, one of the most important things I want to tell you is: all the astrologers in this world are wrong! They, all, everyone, are wrong!
