Chapter 168 The fifth star (Part 1)

Among the four stars that are gradually approaching, the most conspicuous one is the star Rudolph. This brown planet is also a planet that reflects the light of stars, but the special substance on its surface makes its light not as silvery as the moon, but it appears as brown as leather.

In addition to the star Rudolph, there are three other planets. Although they are not eye-catching, they can be found with careful observation. However, he can never find the fifth star in the "Five-Star Bead" mentioned by Gul'dan.

There are ancient astrologers in the Star Refining World, who use the movement of celestial bodies to speculate and predict various major events. They can either become national teachers of a country or fortune tellers on the streets and alleys. The encounters of astrologers are like alchemists before they are recognized, and most people think they are liars.

Ge Zheng had heard that astrologers had a unique way to see all planets clearly. He wanted to go to the astrologers to find out whether it was a dead star or a five-star star.

There happened to be an astrologer in Akhama City. The old man had a lot of eyebrows and beards, all of which were snow-white. However, it is said that he looked like this ten years ago, but he still looked like this ten years later. Ge Zheng understood that if such a profession wanted to live, sometimes he needed some small means, and he didn't think that this person must be a liar.

Even though this astrologer was really a paradise, the visit of the city lord was enough to make the paradise frightened. Marist asked someone to inform him that the city lord had something to ask him. Ge Zheng picked up his two half-blades with strange symbols and walked in. Only three or four square-sized astrology shops were filled with all kinds of strange things. The air-dried bird's heads were tied into a string with ropes hanging next to the door couplet, an unknown black-brown powder package.

In the glass jar, the astrologer sat behind a narrow table, and used a knife to carve various traces of different depths and similar to the embodied characters. The walls on both sides were covered with colorful paper. The astrologer was polite, but did not look humble, and tried to look like a paranormal. Ge Zheng looked at him, looked back at the words on their faces and said, "The ancient Saiyan quantum magic language, coupled with the Anas magic language, is quite intimidating."

When the astrologer heard this, he immediately looked respectful, no longer pretended, and asked carefully: "The city lord is very knowledgeable, what else should I ask me?" Ge Zheng sat down opposite him and asked him, "I heard that you astrologers can know the trajectory of all celestial bodies." The astrologer was a little proud, but said modestly: "Not all, as long as we get close to the continent where we live, we can discover it."

This astrologer seems to be a fool, and he talks happily: "We astrologers believe that every celestial body has its own unique power. As long as we capture the traces left by these forces, we can grasp the trajectory of the celestial body. On the continent we live in, there are some metals that are very sensitive to the power of these celestial bodies - I mean different metals are sensitive to the power of different celestial bodies. We grind all kinds of metals into powder and sprinkle them in a glass jar filled with heavy oil. After astrology processing, these metal powders sense the power of the celestial bodies, and they will automatically condense into small balls, floating in the heavy oil, imitating the trajectory of the celestial body movement. We call this thing the celestial map."

He only said a rough principle, but the part about the core secrets of astrology was not disclosed at all. However, Ge Zheng had no intention of spying on the secrets of astrology. He hurriedly said, "Can you let me see your sky map?"

The astrologer smiled slightly: "I'm happy to serve the city lord." He took out a huge spherical glass jar from the cabinet behind him, filled with a light yellow oil that looked like egg white. The oil was very dense and could float hollow metal balls.

Metal balls floated in the glass jar and moved slowly. In the center of the glass jar, there was a red origin surrounded by many metal balls. The astrologer explained: "This is our star refining world."

Astrologers and everyone in this world believe that all the celestial bodies in the void revolve around the star refining world, but Ge Zheng knew that the truth might not be so.

He stared at the sky map and easily found the string of celestial bodies gradually approaching. They ran very slowly, but it could still be seen that in a few days, they would overlap in a straight line. Ge Zheng counted for a while and found that they were really five metal balls - that is, what Gul'dan said was five-star beads.

A faint gray mark was left behind each metal ball, which was their trajectory. It was very eye-catching in the light yellow heavy oil. Ge Zheng analyzed the trajectory and found the Qiming star Rudolph, and also found the other three planets. However, the fifth planet, Ge Zheng recalled the night sky - the sky was pitch black and empty and nothing, how could there be an extra planet?

He said uncertainly: "Your sky map will not go wrong, right?" "Of course not! I have told the principle that if something goes wrong, then the real sky map will be wrong. Look at the Qiming Star Rudolph, the North Sky Wolf Star Abatu, the giant sign... are all in their respective positions. How can they go wrong?" The astrologer was a little dissatisfied, but quickly controlled his emotions.

Ge Zheng shook his head, pointed to the fifth star and asked, "So what's the name of this star?" The astrologer looked carefully and suddenly frowned. He pondered for a while, and then he frowned several thick black-skinned books from the cabinet behind him. He opened it and searched again and again, but still couldn't find the answer. The astrologer said to Ge Zheng very regretfully but stubbornly: "My Lord, there is no record of this star, but I believe that the principles of astrology will not go wrong, and there is no problem with my heavenly map."

Ge Zheng had to ask again, and suddenly a person stood up behind him and pointed at the fifth star. "Wolf Crow!" Ge Zheng's heart moved. The wolf crow didn't need to sleep. Every night he stood outside the door and looked up at the night sky. He often pointed to the sky with his fingers as if he wanted to point something to Ge Zheng, but every time the sky on his fingers was pitch black and could not see anything. Ge Zheng didn't take it seriously after many times.

This time the wolf crow suddenly stood up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Ge Zheng's mind. He carefully compared the location of the fifth planet and the star refining world, and suddenly realized that the sky where the planet was located was the sky that the wolf crow often pointed to.

If you want to know the secret of this planet, it seems that you are going to ask Gul'dan.

Ge Zheng said goodbye and left the astrological shop. When he left the door, he happened to meet Maris leading a priest in the Dark Temple in a robe. Maris panted and said, "Sir, the mission of the Dark Temple is almost at the gate of the city. Are you going out to greet him?" Originally, such a mission did not require any labor, Ge Zheng went out to welcome him, but Maris could somehow see the relationship between Ge Zheng and Gronia. The last time Gronia left in anger, Ge Zheng knew that Maris knew. As a subordinate, he didn't say much about his immediate superior's emotional debt, so he could only push him indirectly.

Maris asked him to go out of the city to greet him, and he was mostly accompanied by accusations to Gronia, but Ge Zheng himself did not know. The priest of the Dark Temple behind Maris hurriedly said, "Master, the one who led the team to Akhama City this time is Lord Guldan, one of the speakers of our five major divisions." Guldan is the Speaker of the Five Major Divisions of the Dark Temple, that is, the member of the House of Lords of the Temple, and the core power of the temple. Guldan's identity is almost equivalent to the Grand Duke of the Principality.

Ge Zheng happened to have something to ask Gul'dan, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go out of the city to welcome the mission."

When Ge Zheng and others rushed to the west gate, Guldan and his group had already arrived at the gate. After not seeing each other for a year, Guldan was still the same. He smiled and hugged Ge Zheng and said a little bit of farewell.

Ge Zheng's city lord's mansion is still in the plan. So far, the richest city lord in Aosta is still in a down-and-out state of "no fixed place to live", and can only entertain guests in the imperial inn. However, the conditions for the Empire Inn is good, and the staff of the temple do not pay attention to the food and clothing specifications, and there is no complaint when they live in the inn.

Ge Zheng was greeting Gul'dan all the way, but occasionally he took the time to look at Gronia a few times. The demon girl had a cold face, as if she didn't know him at all. Ge Zheng felt a little frustrated, but then he thought: It would be better if he would leave sooner or later. Instead of being entangled with them, it would be better to draw a clear line in advance.

He felt relaxed and no longer had to do anything about this matter. He became more and more chatting and laughing with Gul'dan. This expression fell into Gronia's eyes and immediately made her heart shatter: Could it be that he really didn't feel anything about him?

In the evening, Ge Zheng held a banquet at the best restaurant in Akhama City to welcome the speaker of the Gul'dan branch hall. Ge Zheng asked him, "Speaker, I don't know which five-star consecutive pearl you said to me last time?" The fifth star was related to the identity of the wolf crow, and Ge Zheng was eager to know the details.

Unexpectedly, Gul'dan made a strange expression: "Five-star beads? When did I say five-star beads? It's obviously four-star beads." The people from the Dark God Temple around him also said: "Yes, it's four-star beads, where did the fifth star come from?" Ge Zheng dared not say that his eyes were golden eyes, but he also clearly saw it like a mirror. Others in the Dark God Temple may really not know, but Gul'dan was clearly lying. It seems that he had missed his mouth last time, and he wanted to admit his account at this moment.
