Chapter 1233: Can't Learn, Screwed Up
Rogel looked at the ordinary middle-aged man in front of him and asked curiously, "Why do you want to buy the location information of this drifting object? What is it?"
Astrology is a very niche profession in Ange's main plane, because the stars in the vast void change very little, and there are only a few observable objects coming and going.
More importantly, the main plane no longer has its own divine star, so the largest observable object is suddenly missing.
All sunlight is the eternal divine light projected onto the plane, and there is no change to be observed.
But in the Divine Light Alliance, the situation is completely different. Although astrologers are poor, astrology is definitely not a niche profession. It is a profession that many groups are willing to support and has a strong demand. There are even specialized professional associations and astrology colleges.
First of all, the major adventure teams and mercenary groups are in need of astrologers. They drive airships to explore various void planes. Without astrologers on the airships, it is easy to get lost. Without star maps in hand, they don't even know where to fly.
Therefore, after graduation, a large number of astrologers will join the adventure team as pilots.
If you don't want to take risks and just want to lie in the astrology tower and stare into the void at night to make a living, that's fine too. Some large organizations, associations, mercenary groups, chambers of commerce, lords, etc. will also recruit some astrologers to guard the tower.
However, these tower-guarding warlocks are basically respected old warlocks who lead students, such as Rogel. The funds are very limited, and after the tutors take the lion's share, what remains for the students is insignificant.
If the tutor is a little harsh, the students may live worse than the grooms. In order to avoid starving to death, the students guarding the tower will use all the available tools around them to try to find some extra money.
In the Astrology Tower, the most useful tool is naturally the astrolabe. So after patrolling the key constellations at night, students will use their free time to complete some private work, such as searching for the Unowned Abyss, Broken Planes, etc.
If they encounter any of the above tasks, they can get rich. Even if they encounter them, it will not be their turn. They mainly calculate the flight routes. After all, the relative positions of the major planes are constantly changing, and taking the right route can save a lot of magic crystals.
After taking private work, I would use the astronomical mirror to patrol the void, and occasionally I would make some inexplicable discoveries. The value of some things was unclear, and the instructor was too lazy to occupy them, so I could post a message on the association's bulletin board and ask interested people to contact me. After negotiating the purchase, I could send them the coordinates.
In the past six months, a magical network has emerged in the Divine Light Alliance - the House of Souls.
This was 'invented' by Duke Emre of the Sword of Truth. It was a soul network that used relay spirits to communicate. Everyone only needed to buy a soul brazier, and they could access the soul home through the soul brazier to publish information, contact, acquire, and so on.
It is convenient and fast, simple to access, easy to use, and can communicate across dimensions, so it can be promoted very quickly.
Because of the Grand Chancellor and the Mourning Undead Soldiers, the entire Divine Light Alliance has a very high acceptance of the undead, the dead, the souls, and the like. In addition, the Grand Chancellor himself also moved some of his contacts with the alliance's top leaders to the House of Souls. Soon, the House of Souls became popular throughout the Divine Light Alliance.
The busiest place in the Soul House is naturally the announcement column, where various bounty tasks, purchases, sales, etc. are posted. The official will also provide guaranteed transactions for both buyers and sellers.
Five days ago, Rogel's student said that he had discovered something strange. He took a look at the magic rubbing and saw a regular object similar to an olive pit, floating in the void and moving away in the direction of the vast void.
There are all kinds of objects in the void, both regular and irregular. There are very regular round spheres, which are actually formed naturally.
Naturally formed objects are not valuable unless they are precious metals or precious crystals. What are valuable are man-made objects that are not naturally formed.
Roger couldn't tell whether this olive-shaped object was natural or man-made, so he didn't take it seriously and just asked his student to hang it on the Soul House. He didn't expect that this inconspicuous thing would attract the other party to come to his door in person to trade, which was much more expensive than a guaranteed transaction.
What is this thing? It can actually attract the other party to come to the door in person?
If it were any other time, Ogar would have the leisure to chat for a while, but now he was in no mood at all. He hadn't slept for five days and five nights.
Although for a being of his level, not sleeping all the time would not affect his physical health, it also meant that his mind was always tense, making him very irritable.
Taking out ten magic crystals, Ogar placed them on the table and said, "This is not part of the deal. Take the money, tell me the location, done."
"Oh, if you don't tell me what it is, I will cancel the deal. It's no big deal to have two stinky bucks. Come on, take your money..." Ogar's attitude made Rogel angry, and he wanted to kick him out on the spot.
Although the astrologer is poor, Roger would not be so cheap as to look down on ten magic crystals. These are originally extra income earned by students, and the pricing is much lower than those of professional warlocks outside. Otherwise, why do people say that students are the most cost-effective labor force?
It cost more than ten magic crystals to teleport Ogar's team here. So what's the value of this olive-shaped floating object? Is it worth spending so much to come here in person?
Before he finished speaking, Ogar flipped his hand and took out another twenty magic crystals, placed them on the table together with the original ten, and said lightly: "Location."
"You...what do you mean?" Roger's heart skipped a beat.
Ogar didn't say anything either. He flipped his hand and took out another thirty, making a total of sixty magic crystals piled on the table.
"This...I..." Roger was so frightened by this situation that he didn't know what to do.
Ogar flipped his hands again and pulled out about sixty or seventy magic crystals. There were too many and he was too lazy to count them. It was enough to have almost everything.
There were probably one hundred and thirty magic crystals piled on the table. Roger could no longer sit still. He could ignore ten magic crystals, but he couldn't ignore such a pile.
But he was also very curious about why the other party was willing to spend such a huge price to find the olive-shaped drifting object.
Hesitantly looking at Ogar, then at the magic crystal on the table, and then at Ogar's hand, he saw that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of raising the price any further. Finally, Rogel gritted his teeth and moved his eyes away from the magic crystal: "I still need to know what that thing is, otherwise cancel the deal."
What if it is some kind of relic, not more valuable than a few hundred magic crystals? Then give him a fake coordinate and drag the thing back by himself.
It was a nice thought, but the man in front of him was the God Slayer. Ogar said in frustration: "Why can't I learn that guy's skills? I screwed up."
As he spoke, Ogal flicked his fingers and a wisp of powder bounced onto Rogel's body. Soon, Rogel's body became extremely itchy and a layer of mold appeared on his skin.
As soon as the mycelium started to grow, Rogel felt something drilling into his skin. It didn't hurt, but it was extremely itchy.
Just when Rogel was itching so much that he wanted to tear off his skin, Ogal asked, "Can you tell me the location now? If you don't, these hyphae will always parasitize on your body, making it impossible for you to die, but you will itch to death every moment."
Thank you for the reward.
