Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
As far as Roland knew, the Chief Astrologer was a h he had not made any particularly extraordinary contributions to the astronomical research, he had founded the Arithmetic Academy and trained many students He also assisted with the statistical analysis In a sense, he extended the influence of the Astrology Association and expanded this old organization into one that could rival the Society of Alcheize ence and failure to predict the premature appearance of the Bloody Moon However, as Roland had been too busy with various events lately, he had dismissed him Nobody ever anticipated that the Bloody Moon would appear so early, and Roland had never intended to rely on the Astrology Association to predict the Bloody Moon He used their service simply because these scholars knew arithmetics
The word "must" alarmed Roland Disperson Star would have never used such an alency Therefore, Roland immediately headed to the Arith up
The so-called observatory was only an attic of the Arithers used this little attic as their temporary observatory before theySince the construction of the Miracle Building had taken longer than planned, Roland had e telescope and transfor observatory so that they could continue with their astrological work
Dispersion Star and the other astrologers had been waiting for Roland for a while They soon went to their knee as they saw Roland come in "Your Majesty," they chorused
"Please rise," Roland said as he waved his hand casually "Let's jump into the business What did you find?"
"Your Majesty, please follow me," Dispersion Star said solemny as he led Roland to the attic at the top
Roland immediately saw that the floor was littered with drafts and drawings He believed they were the calculations of the orbits of various stars In fact, Roland only knew very little about astronoe of physics and ers had now surpassed hi the other astrologers outside The moment the door was shut, Roland noticed that the old Chief Astrologer earing an extrerave expression as if he were about to ale ed his sleeve
Roland nodded in coale would protect hier, but he was curious as to why the discovery alerted the astrologers sothe e," Dispersion Star finally spoke after a moment of silence "Since we failed to predict its appearance, ould like to make amends for our previous faults We wanted to calculate its size and where its star district is That's the duty of the Astrologers Association However, the discovery horrified us"
Horrified? Roland's brows contracted This was not the word he expected to hear "What do you mean? Get to the point"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Dispersion Star obeyed in a low voice "The Star of Extinction is probably a hoax The Bloody Moon doesn't exist"
Roland was stunned He turned around and looked through theinvoluntarily The crimson sphere was still aloft in the air, as sinister as ever
"Are you saying that the thing over there doesn't exist?"
"I couldn't believe it either when IHowever, gradually, we started to take it seriously," Dispersion Star said after a sigh, and his voice became more confident "Yes, Your Majesty, it doesn't exist According to the materials passed down to us and your books, we're positive that the giant star over there doesn't affect other stars"
