Chapter 1095: I Like You

~8 min read 1,505 words

With Anthony personally acting as a stooge, the whole task was completed very smoothly. In just one meeting, Tian Ya went from a little-known newcomer principal to one of the six nominators of the Astrology Alliance who were qualified to nominate.

Of course, the temporary statement is that these nominations are only for some extra resources, but as long as there are a few more times and it becomes a convention, who will remember how Tian Ya's qualifications came from at the beginning.

Coming to the Sea of Omniscience, Luo Re Er and the others were like cavemen who entered the city, and their mouths never closed. A newly built mage tower stood on a desert island on the sea.

Because of the terrain, the sea surface of the Sea of Omniscience only has a thin layer of air, no atmosphere and plane barrier. Looking out, it is a starry void, dark and pure, which is a place very suitable for star-gazing.

The Astrology Alliance has many mages who travel long distances to those harsh abyss planes to establish the most suitable star-gazing strongholds.

But the abyss plane is difficult to build a large star-gazing tower. The stronghold is not only harsh in environment, but the supporting facilities are not complete. The toilets are all thrown on the spot, and the materials are scarce. It is not a comfortable place to go.

Now such an abyss plane suitable for star-gazing has appeared with a well-equipped and warm and comfortable star-gazing tower. Just stepping here has made everyone sigh again and again.

The oldest astrologer sighed: "My right arm was frozen when I was tracking fire meteors in a cold abyss plane that year. If there was a star-gazing tower there that year, my hand would not have been broken."

Tian Ya asked with concern: "Can't move? Why not go for treatment?"

"Can't cure, frozen for too long, already necrotic. The companion gave me first aid and used petrification to harden it, so as not to fester and rot, otherwise, by the time I returned from the abyss, my arm would have rotted long ago. But the price is that it is completely necrotic and cannot be cured." The astrologer laughed, very free and easy.

Tian Ya said with regret: "That's a pity. The God of Omniscience knows many people. I will ask if there is any way to treat this kind of injury."

"Heh, although it is unlikely, Tian Ya, you have a heart. Don't take it too seriously. I am at this age, and I have seen it open long ago."

While chatting, they stepped into the top floor, and everyone was immediately shocked by the huge aperture star-gazing mirror.

Du Luo Ken adopted the star-gazing mirror design of Deity Deity Diluni in the main plane, a reflecting large-aperture star-gazing mirror. Deity Deity Diluni's actually quite small, the eyepiece diameter is only three meters, but the design is very advanced, but Deity Deity Diluni does not have the ability to build it larger.

But Du Luo Ken has Ang. In terms of building star-gazing mirrors, Ang's most powerful thing is not cutting glass. After all, 8-meter diameter glass, let the genius space beautiful girl Xi Lu Di do it, she can also barely complete it, at most fail a few times, always can cut out suitable ones.

Ang's most powerful thing is the Scale Ring, which can weigh the spherical and non-spherical surfaces at a glance, where they are asymmetrical, where they are not flat, and where the arc is not enough, and can calibrate in real time.

Such a large diameter, but if there is a little error, the imaging will be blurry.

The five astrologers who tried to look were all shocked and speechless. The trial activity was very successful, making them want to recharge on the spot.

Until they were sent back, they couldn't get rid of the shock.

Luo Yue Er, the youngest, was also fifty or sixty years old, but he was as excited as a fisherman who had just caught a big fish, constantly telling other astrologers in the venue about that shocking scene.

This made others who couldn't see it even more itchy, and turned to request Tian Ya to get a few more places.

When you master resources that others don't have, it is easy to establish prestige

"Find another opportunity to establish some authority, deal with some stubborn prick, and combine favors with deterrence—done. It's a pity it went too smoothly; no stubborn prick jumped out. Even that Luo Re Er is going around bragging about the Astrological Tower, wanting to replace his family's with this kind," Anthony said with some regret.

Nage Li Si curled his lip in annoyance: "You're actually regretting not being able to establish authority? Tell me, after going to such great lengths, what did you gain?"

"Hehe, you'll have to ask Du Luo Ken about that." Anthony pursed his lips toward a direction in the venue.

It wasn't just Anthony who snuck in; there were also Yin Bi and Du Luo Ken, under the name of the Star Astrology Academy, who were currently handing out business cards all over the world.

At the beginning, they didn't hand out business cards because no one knew what the Star Astrology Academy was back then. It's different now; this name is currently red-hot, and soon they were surrounded by a crowd of people.

After the meeting ended, Yin Bi invited a bunch of people to dinner, and they soon became familiar with each other, while Du Luo Ken also got to know a bunch of mages with high technical skills and strong professional abilities.

Not long after, Du Luo Ken brought back a piece of news: "Regarding the direction of the consciousness projection of Aimali, someone told me that in the six thousand years of recorded history, a star there has had three instances of significant brightness increases. The most recent one was six hundred years ago; at the same time as the brightness increased, a blue ring appeared next to the star and lasted for three nights."

Anthony looked blank: "What does this represent?"

"That is a blueshift, representing that it threw something in our direction six hundred years ago," Nage Li Si said.

"So he not only projected his consciousness, but also threw things at us? Do they know what it is?" Anthony asked in surprise.

Du Luo Ken said: "This is exactly the purpose of him mentioning this to me. He hopes I can find an opportunity to use the star-gazing mirror to look in that direction and see if there is anything special there."

"We've already looked; we can't see anything," Nage Li Si said. When they had just finished building the star-gazing tower, they immediately had Xisilu adjust the orientation to observe it, but they didn't find anything special.

By the way, the star-seeking magic spirit of the star-gazing tower is Xisilu, and the stand for the astrology mirror is built from Silent Magic Vines. Stuffing him inside just happens to solve both the issues of a body and star-seeking, but Xisilu is a bit unwilling. If there are spare bodies later, one still needs to be saved for him.

Du Luo Ken spread his hands: "Right, but I can't tell them, otherwise they would be curious why we are paying attention to that orientation. However, at least we got the observational data they have passed down for six thousand years. We really must join the alliance; otherwise, such precious data would never be told to us so casually."

Anthony was just about to say something when he suddenly heard Ang's summons: "My lord is calling me? I'll go back immediately."

Rushing back to the Sea of Omniscience, he saw the subordinate of the Grand Speaker standing there all alone, the Zhuoshan Administrator Liya. Ang had no time to deal with her and was busy farming on his own. Both his hands had penetrated space and disappeared; only his shoulders could be seen fluttering, busy without stop.

Anthony looked at Liya in confusion: "Why are you here?"

This Liya's contact with them was only when he provided treatment to her when the Light Disaster first broke out; they hadn't been in touch much since then. Now that she suddenly showed up out of the blue, had something happened?

Liya looked at Anthony with a complex expression and said: "I like you."

"Pfft..." A short, sharp spraying sound came from afar, but it quickly went silent.

Anthony glanced toward Ang's direction and found Ang looking up at the sky, as if thinking about something, only his previously fluttering shoulders were now motionless.

Anthony was between laughter and tears, stammering awkwardly: "You... this... why is it so sudden? I have no mental preparat..."

Liya said solemnly: "For the sake of the fact that I once liked you, please answer me seriously: what did the Grand Speaker encounter here with you last time? Why did he change completely after going back?"
