Astrology Tower, to me, is a name that is deeply memorable, but should have disappeared into the past long ago.
They are currently an internationally famous evil organization. In the eyes of the world, they are just like the famous Druid radical organization Rendehui (Druids Association for Kindness to Animals), a group of mad dogs that bite whoever they catch.
Just like every notorious organization initially has a tall flag, the Astrology Tower was originally built with lofty ideals.
Whether they are astrologers who are proficient in stargazing, witches who are good at divination, or wizards who are proficient in prophetic spells, they can all predict the future in a certain sense. Therefore, under the call of a highly respected archmage, they "use prophecy to predict the future".
An organization with the goal of "making life better and avoiding avoidable disasters" was established.
So, how did an organization with such good intentions turn into the notorious mad dog it is today?
In the beginning, the Astrology Tower did play a very good role in warning of natural disasters. At that time, unlike the useless prediction spells now, the prediction spell system back then was quite developed and effective, and it was like the God of Destiny, the God of Destiny.
The connection of wires allows them to really avoid natural disasters and avoid disasters.
After a period of golden development, probably around AD 200, the Astrology Tower encountered a problem. No matter how much they paid, they could not predict what would happen after a certain period of time.
In the end, they jointly came to a conclusion. After a certain year or so, the Ashe continent was completely blank.
If a single fortune teller would only think of his own limited ability, and when all the fortune tellers come to such a conclusion, there is only one answer that makes sense - the world is destroyed, and there is no so-called future at all.
Okay. Although predicting the end of the world is indeed not a good thing, at least if you know that it will happen, you should be able to find ways to overcome it.
But the result was in vain. No matter how they predicted or divined, they only got one answer in the end - this world has no future, and they can't even determine where the destruction will come from.
Of course, I can understand the reason why divination and prediction are impossible. All life in this world originates from order and chaos. Naturally, you cannot predict that destruction comes from the mother of all things, or even the specific time of the end.
Well, this is like the torment period of death row prisoners waiting for execution. Unable to find an answer, they watched the end approaching day by day and fell into despair. But an accident gave them hope.
A certain young man who was predicted to become a hero had an accident due to the intervention of the Astrology Tower, and then that future became invisible.
Will the actions of the prophet have an impact on the future? Will the premature death of historical heroes and big figures have an impact on the entire history? If there are enough fluctuations in the fate of the entire world, will the world that is destined to be destroyed still survive?
Well, he went to the doctor in a hurry. Under this indescribable logic, the Astrology Tower seems to have found the most direct way to change the future - to kill heroes and historical figures in advance.
Normal prophets will try their best to avoid the impact of their predictions on their targets. On the contrary, Astrology Tower started its own crazy behavior - hunting historical figures and making the future unknowable.
This is not easy. After all, it is difficult to draw decent conclusions from targeted predictions. Predictions are often just a matter of luck. The active participation of the prophet will make the prediction results even more messy. But if the unlucky guy is hit by the accident... haha
, even if he is a legendary hero in the future, is he capable of resisting as a baby?
The hero who slayed the dragon and saved the world was slandered as the son of the devil, the great craftsman who invented advanced technology was regarded as an unforgivable villain, the saint who saved the country in times of crisis was burned alive as a witch, and the highly respected prophet in the past
They have all become liars and their fate has become a mess due to their reckless behavior.
This is undoubtedly equivalent to starting to overturn the table in a card game that is already destined to be lost. Anyway, one will die in the end. If there is more trouble, there may be variables. This is the hysteria of the prophets who are forced into a desperate situation.
And because they went too far, the God of Destiny's thread of destiny became a mess, alarming the Gods of Order who had little interference in the mortal world, and punished them by directly destroying the headquarters of the Astrology Tower.
Pause a little.
After the divine punishment, the God of Destiny took back most of the prophetic abilities and spells left in the mortal world, and cut off the connection between his divine Palace of Destiny and the mortal prophets, causing the level of prediction in the entire world to plummet.
This happened more than 1,600 years ago.
But now, the predicted doomsday has still not come, and the crime of killing future heroes has surfaced. The astrological tower has naturally become a huge joke, but I know that they were really right about the prediction, and disaster is just around the corner.
.
At this point, predictions about someone's future have been regarded as the biggest taboo of prophets. Most modern prophets only predict things, not people. But obviously, the astrology tower has not been completely destroyed because of this. They are still secretly doing this in the corner.
of past behavior.
However, no one can tell whether they are going crazy to save the world or simply taking revenge on the Gods of Order and the entire world.
They were the ones who made the prophecy about Cavins and I more than three hundred years ago, and we were pushed into a corner by them, and there are traces of their covert interference.
During my travels in later generations, I discovered their black hands in the shadows, so after transforming into the Lord of Eternal Night, I dug them out from the corners one by one and killed them again and again.
But unfortunately, looking at the charred corpse in front of me, the stars and the one-eyed emblem on the finger, it was obvious that I didn't do enough back then.
"You damn remnants of the Astrology Tower, you are so brave, you actually dare to appear in front of me!"
-------------
In the dark room, the seats were lit up one by one, and the participants were silent as before. Finally, the person on the chair spoke.
"Dasos is already urging us, and the spies haven't reported back yet?"
"Hmph, the King of Winter Wolves? Lord Eye of Lum. Actually, I would say that we should kill him first instead of cooperating with him."
"Don't be impatient. Our current goal is to wipe out the bloodline of Lan. We will talk about the rest later. It has been a week and there is still no news? Daxos has already expressed dissatisfaction with us."
It is true to say that they are mad dogs. When prophecy magic cannot be as developed as in ancient times, their goals have become "future heroes and historical figures" and expanded to "heroes and big shots". Anyone in high positions must cooperate with them.
Be on tenterhooks. You never know when you will be stabbed in the back.
"As you know, the Church of the True God belongs to the territory of God. Humanity's prophecy spells will be greatly reduced, and our spies have also encountered a little trouble."
"Um?"
"We sent several druids who can turn into crows..."
In the church, Casio was taking a nap under a tree, but a migratory bird passed by in the sky, and a long golden line cut through the sky. The wild geese landed in response, and several knights hurriedly ran over to pick it up. This free game was just enough to add to the evening meal.
"Although I don't know why Brother Luo Lan wants me to intercept all the birds, it's just a good way to practice my archery skills."
"...All the crows were shot down by the shooters. If they hadn't run fast, they might have been eaten as dinner."
"It seems that we have been prepared for it. Our scout team? Our master thief."
"They were all blown up to the sky. The courtyard was full of goblin mines, as well as various serial bombs and alarm robots. It was more heavily guarded than the goblin bank. We suspect that there are at least four or five engineers permanently stationed in the church.
Grandmaster."
Under the corner of the yard, Green was doing something, but when he was halfway through, he pricked up his ears, then twisted up the basket and ran away, and as expected, someone was chasing after him.
"Damn Green, you are planting landmines everywhere again. How many times have you said that engineering products are dangerous objects and cannot be thrown around randomly. What if they blow up passers-by? Even if they don't blow up outsiders, but they blow up flowers and plants, it's not a good thing!
You see how many times we have repaired the walls in the past few days. When I met the mason yesterday, he actually asked me if I wanted to apply for a monthly ticket. You said that if I change the church of the God of Law into the church of the God of Explosion, Sleepless Man
He won't kill me with a thunderbolt. Hey, listen to me and don't run away."
Dill (finally has a name!), the spell caster who follows Coros, his characteristics...well, you should have seen it, he is very verbose, but he seems to be the natural enemy of the taciturn Green, so I have no idea
He hesitated and gave him the task of guarding the explosive maniac.
"Is our spy master Fei Die? He can easily disguise himself as a believer and enter. With his experience, he should be able to deceive the paladin at the door who seems to be wandering but is actually guarding."
"she....."
Swallowtail is known as the Man with a Thousand Faces, and he is especially good at disguising himself as various women. This time, he was very successful in pretending to be a lady, and he also succeeded in getting close to his primary target, Princess Renee, but...
"Crime-breaking strike!" What followed was a silver holy sword that shone with silver light, spinning and flying out diagonally.
"Hee, I accidentally let go." Even though Renee tried to pretend to be cute, she couldn't hide the fact that her swing of the sword turned into a flying sword.
Kelly shook her head helplessly. Although Renee had made rapid progress after transferring to the Knight of Justice, and even though Roland's teachings were obviously quite methodical, her swordsmanship talent, which had already passed her growth stage, was too poor, at least in a short period of time.
His swordsmanship is still so bad that it's hard to watch him directly.
Looking in the direction in which the sword was flying, she saw Roland's Holy Sword inserted between the thighs of a noble lady, and she immediately panicked.
"Priest, come quickly, there is an injured person... Hmm? Man? Spy? Knights come here, please contact the coffin shop first."
Hearing that his most capable spy had been exposed in such an inexplicable way, as the president of the Oran branch of the Astrology Tower, Eye of Rum simply couldn't believe it.
"I feel that as long as I get close to that church, something will happen inexplicably. Is it the Church of the God of Law or the Church of the God of Doom?"
"Damn it! By the way, is our stealth master gone? Is the Shadow Walker Dikea? There is never a place he can't enter. What happened to him? He is not an opponent who will be defeated by bad luck. Did he also fail?"
"he....."
The Shadowless Walker Dikea is very famous in some areas. It is said that there is no treasure house that he cannot enter. He once stole the blue dragon's treasure, but the Eye of Lum spent a lot of effort to invite him to join the membership.
He himself is just a silver-level thief, but what makes him run rampant is a legendary secret treasure.
[Sewer cloak, legendary item: the wearer turns into a mouse and gains 95% physical damage immunity]
It is with this secret treasure that he can sneak into the treasure house of any kingdom at will. Even if he encounters a super powerful enemy who can see through his transformation, he can still escape with the effect of almost physical immunity.
"Which adult's last communication was 'Why is there a magical cat!!'."
It was already dinner time at the Church of the God of Law, and when a certain cat jumped on the table, I picked it up and threw it aside.
"Go and play, who knows if you ate dead mice and cockroaches,"
"Asshole, I'm not a real cat. Besides, even if I'm a real cat, I'll serve you with big fish and meat every day. Even if I catch mice, I'm just playing with the prey, so how can I eat it? Humph, I originally planned to show you a treasure.
You see, you don’t know good people’s hearts, forget it.”
"What treasure?" When I heard the treasure, my heart immediately moved.
"Haha, this is a transformation cloak that suits you very well. Why don't you try it on?"
"Haha, think of me as stupid. You will give me something good. It must be a cursed item. Will it turn into a mouse or a squirrel? It won't turn into a slime... Look at this, I guessed it right, right?
You damn cat, there’s nothing left for you for dinner, go eat the mice!”
At the same time, in the yard, a short figure covered in injuries was struggling in the grass.
"Damn, what a scary cat. He can actually fight, and he can master both magic and martial arts. He almost died in his hands. Ahem, luckily he took the cloak and left. Ahem, he vomited blood again. It looks like he was injured.
It’s not light, and you can’t climb over the wall or through the main entrance. Then go through the sewer.”
He struggled to open the sewer entrance and reluctantly retracted himself in, only to find that someone had already gone ahead and was waiting for him in the sewer.
"Why is there anyone here, if we are traveling together? Please let me know...wait a minute, it's not a real person, it's a goblin self-destruction dummy!! He's actually racing in the sewers! Who is so boring!"
"Boom!!" "Boom!!"
This time there was obviously a lot of explosives, and the whole house was shaking. When my eyes turned to the dining table, Green immediately stood up and reported.
"Report, according to your instructions, all unstable explosives have been thrown into the sewers for disposal."
"Sewer? Haha, whose thief is so unlucky. It's okay, Green, you did a good job, keep up the good work."
[Ding, congratulations, your plague halo has harmed the 100th target. It has been upgraded to a broom star halo. The halo effect is increased by 50%, and it starts harming your enemies first. Now that you have one hundred, is a thousand still far away?
, please keep up the good work. - That child is really unlucky, but you'd better talk about it, there are your old friends there.] At this time, the system ran out again unwilling to be lonely.
But when I actually arrived at the explosion site, I found the familiar astrologer's emblem. Naturally, I knew that I had met an old friend again, and I immediately became furious.
"When you see one mad dog, there will be a nest of them. Kelly, I'm going to leave. I'll leave this place to you. Diana, Coros, come with me. Let's go hunting for mad dogs."
PS: The new book needs support, please continue to ask for votes. Once you have calmed down, you will continue to explode.
