Chapter 16: [Dead Knot]

Chapter 16 The Dead Knot

"The stars in the night sky, the location of those stars, are mysterious. Their position will change strangely over time, and these changes have always been taken as some kind of hint given by the gods to mankind. People tend to think of astrologers, but seem to be people who specialize in studying the riddles left to mankind by these gods.

But all this is wrong!

There is also infinite power in the stars. Even these forces are stronger than the huge storms, raging floods, and monstrous flames we have seen, than all of this! Even so powerful that... The point of doubts that makes me doubtful.

Could it be that such a powerful force was also created by the gods?

Also, these stars seem to have been hanging in the sky since eternity! It was like this a long time ago, even earlier than we know. Maybe even before our world was created!

So, are these stars really created by the gods? According to all the books that can be found now, as well as religious texts, the most unified statement when the stars are mentioned is: "The stars are the decorations left in the sky by the gods when they created this world in order to decorate the beauty of the night of this world, and the gods will change the position of the stars according to their own joys and angers and changes in some things in the world, and these changes are often the revelations left to mankind."

Yes, according to these accounts, the stars seem to have been created together as our world was created, as an appendage of the night sky... But is that really the case?

And just six years ago, when I was thirty-four years old, the sky and stars changed, and at night, there were stars in the sky falling to the sky, and all the astrologers were desperately studying what hints this phenomenon had left us by the gods, but I began to choose another path...

Based on the direction of the falling star that night, and after consulting all the information I could, I decided to find the falling star! It took me three years to walk all over the northern tip of the continent and finally let me find it!

Saying that, the phantom of Semel gently raised her hand, one of her palms emerged from the red robe, palm up, and a small fist-sized black paste stone was gently dragged in her hand.

"This is what I found the 'falling stars.'" Look, it looks like a stone at all! Of course, I only had a small piece knocked down in my hand. When I found it, it was the size of a house. And the local terrain, the ground was smashed into a big hole when it fell, and even I can see where there was a terrible fire, the woods were burned to ashes, and the plains were smashed into valleys! That kind of destructive power can probably only be achieved by the top forbidden spell in magic.

Du Wei couldn't help but sigh anymore.

This female astrologer master named Saimer is really remarkable in Du Wei's eyes!

At least, in this place where the gods created everything, she dared to ask questions ... Moreover, in some ways, she is really close to the truth!

"It is unimaginable that the so-called star is just a huge stone. What's more, this stone is completely different from the known substance in this world! It's hard, and it's full of a magical adsorption... I spent a lot of time searching for experienced magical alchemists, even some elderly blacksmiths, but none of them recognized this new 'substance'! Other words... The stars are not in our world at all! Semel's phantom began to flicker a little, apparently a sign that his magic power was about to run out, and Du Wei quickly cheered up, while praying in his heart that this magic power would last longer.

From then on, I began to question all the claims in the literature that the gods created the world. If we say that the gods created this world, let this world have all life, let this world have day and night, and the seasons change... So, who made all these laws? Is it a god?

I spent almost my whole life studying the stars, and finally found that the so-called "changes in the position of the stars in the sky are all revelations given to mankind by the gods...' is simply absurd! I spent ten years recording and studying the positions of some of the stars that could be seen in the sky, and then for ten years I studied and recorded the positions of these stars every night.

Gradually, on some nights, when the sky was dark and dark clouds obscured the night sky, I could not observe the stars with the naked eye. And at this time, I can only find another way... I thought about magic... Since magic can be used to sense all the subtle changes in nature, can I use magic to sense the position of the stars when I can't see them?

Finally, I discovered the power of the stars! And if I can use this power, then I can be like a magician with the help of the force of nature... With the power of the stars!

And after finding a way to sense the power of the stars, I found another thing that surprised me!

This is... The power of the stars is not only sensible at night!

Even when the sun is high, I can also sense the existence of stars through meditation and by expanding my psychic abilities! They exist in the sky! Day or night! It's just that during the day, their light is covered by the strong sun!

And ten years later, I spent ten years recording the positions of the stars I observed, and found that although they will have some changes, they are actually reincarnated according to certain laws! It's like a cycle! For example, a star runs to the east in the summer, to the west in the winter, and then to the east the next year... Everything seems to be repeated according to a specific trajectory, repeated reincarnation!

Therefore, this is by no means a revelation from the gods to mankind! Not even a riddle left by the gods to mankind! All this is repeated according to a certain law - the rules of the stars! The Law of the Stars! Semel's

phantom gradually weakened, and this was the last moment when his spiritual power was about to run out.

Her voice also became serious: "The temple tells us that the stars are riddles and revelations left by the gods to mankind, and as a result, I found that the position of the stars seems to be repeated according to a fixed set of rules, and has nothing to do with the riddles of any gods; The temple tells us that the stars are the embellishments that the gods leave in the night sky, and I found that the existence of stars is not limited to the night, even in the bright day, although they cannot be seen with the naked eye, they also exist; The temple also told us that the world was created by the gods, and I discovered that the texture of the stars was a stone that had never been seen before, and that it did not belong to any substance known to our world.

The great astrologer finally raised her head and uttered her final summation: "I began to wonder if the stars seemed to have been created by the gods... And in the end, I began to doubt the so-called... God!

Looking at the phantom of this female astrologer in front of him, Du Wei suddenly felt that his heart was full of respect for this woman! Because she is the first person Du Wei has met since he came to this world and dared to question and challenge common sense and authority!

Compared with those who only focus on believing that "the gods create everything", this woman who dares to question and question authority, and spends her life studying it, makes Du Wei feel great respect.

"My life's research is hidden in this room, and the rows of cabinets here are all things I left you. And the other door outside is the doubt I left, if you can't pay attention to the hints I left about the stars, then the person who comes can only find the location of the false door outside, behind that door, is just some worldly treasure, and here, is me, Semel; Kira•; Rollin remains a true legacy in this world!

Suddenly, the pillar of light flashed, and then the light began to dim, and the phantom of the female astrologer gradually became blurredWhen she got up, her voice began to weaken:

"Last hint, in that oil painting in the study, is a magical creature that I created, I sealed it in that 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 studying. All the spells of the star magic that I created, for safety, I did not leave it in words and paper, I left it to that magical creature. You must release it from the seal.

My child, although I don't know how many years it will take for you to discover here, I believe that the great Rollin family will definitely have a genius in magic. You should understand that my life's research and discoveries have questioned the authority of the gods, and such things must be unacceptable to this world! Especially those who represent authority, they will find ways to destroy these. I can't leave all this behind, only in this secret way.

That magical creature, I put a spell on it, only every night, it can be resurrected, during the day, it falls into a deep sleep... Oh, so, like the stars, it cannot be seen with the naked eye during the day. Moreover, only people with strong spiritual power can see its existence at night. I believe that since you can get here, then your spiritual power should be enough to become a great magician. I can teach you all the star magic I created... Remember a spell that you can use to unlock the seal of the painting outside, and when this spell is released, it will unconditionally obey your orders... And after that, it's all about your efforts. The

female astrologer slowly uttered the last incantation, she pronounced each byte clearly, and then at the same time her fingers slowly pinched out a few fingerprints... Du Wei wrote all this down very carefully, and then... With a breath, the light suddenly flashed, and then Huo Ran disappeared!

The room suddenly fell into darkness, Du Wei quickly lit a candle, checked in this room, thinking that there was nothing to do for the time being, Du Wei carefully returned the same way, climbed all the way back along the secret passage.

When he returned to the study, Du Wei was already covered in dust, but fortunately, there was still a large pile of dusty ledgers in the study, so the dust on his body was not difficult to explain.

Closing the secret door on the bookshelf, Du Wei walked in front of the painting: "I have been in and seen everything." Including her last words.

The eyes in the

painting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then revealed a hint of pleading.

Du Wei understood what it meant, and said with a smile: "Are you trying to ask me how to unlock your seal?" Oh, I found it, she left a spell. However, apparently something went wrong here..."

Du Wei smiled bitterly.

The first hint left by Semel was the oil painting on the wall! And the person who can see the oil painting must be a person with strong mental power! And people with strong mental power are almost certainly magicians! You can learn magic even if you don't have to be a magician!

Semel's star magic needs a magician to learn and inherit. That's why she left such a bureau.

If you can't see the moving person on the oil painting, it means that the mental power is insufficient and there is no magical talent.

And if you see it, you can learn magic... Then, the spell left by Semel can unlock the seal on the painting!

However, even the clever Semel probably could not have imagined that a few years later, the Rollin family would produce such a freak as Du Wei!

He clearly possesses outstanding spiritual talent! But in terms of magic induction, he has no talent at all!

In other words, Du Wei could not use the spell left by Semel to unlock the seal, and he could not unlock the seal on the painting.

Without this magical creature left behind by Semel... I'm afraid he won't be able to learn the star magic left by Semel! Because all the magic spells are recorded by the creatures in this painting!

It's like a strange knot, isn't it?

Du Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Obviously guarding a huge treasure, even the door has been opened to him, but he can't enter. This feeling is really helpless...

Suddenly, Du Wei's eyes lit up... Didn't I capture a magician?

That guy can use the lowest level of first-level magic ability and use the top "instantaneous technique", maybe...-
