Chapter 1196

Roger looked at the plain-looking middle-aged man in front of him and asked curiously: "Why does your Excellency want to buy the location information of this drifting object? What is it?"

Astrology in Ang's main plane is a very niche profession, because there are very few changes in the star signs in the Boundless Great Void, and there are only a few observable objects coming and going.

More importantly, the main plane no longer has its own God Star, which suddenly reduces the largest observable object.

All sunlight is the projection of the ancient God Light onto the plane, and there is no change at all for observation.

But here in the Holy Light Alliance, the situation is completely different. Although astrologers are poor, astrology is definitely not niche. It is a profession that many groups are willing to support and has a strong rigid demand, and there are even specialized professional associations and astrology academies.

First of all, those who need astrologers most are the major adventure teams and mercenary groups. They drive airships to explore major void planes. Without an astrologer on the airship, it is easy to get lost. Without a star map in hand, they don't even know where to fly.

So after a large number of astrologers graduate, they will join adventure teams to serve as pilots.

If you don't want to take risks and just want to lie in the astrology tower and watch 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.

But these tower-guarding astrologers are basically respected old astrologers bringing students, such as Roger. The funding is very limited. After the mentor takes the big share, what is distributed to the students is negligible.

If the mentor is a bit harsh, the students might live worse than the groom. In order not to be starved to death, the students guarding the tower will use all available tools around them to try to find some extra money.

In the astrology tower, the most useful tool is naturally the astrological mirror. So after patrolling the key star signs at night, the students will use their spare time to complete some private work, such as looking for ownerless abysses, broken planes, etc.

The above tasks are all things that can make a fortune if you encounter one, but if you encounter one, it won't be their turn. They mainly calculate routes. After all, the relative positions of the major planes are constantly changing, and walking the right route can save a lot of magic crystals.

After taking private work, using the astrological mirror to patrol the void, occasionally there will be some inexplicable discoveries. Some things are not clear about their value, and the mentor is too lazy to occupy them, so they can post news on the association's bulletin board, let interested people come to contact, and after negotiating the purchase, they can send them the coordinates.

In the last six months, a magical network has appeared in the Holy Light Alliance—the Soul Home.

This was "invented" by Duke Emre of the Sword of Truth, a soul network that uses relay spirit channels to communicate. Everyone only needs to buy a soul brazier to access the Soul Home through the soul brazier, publish information, contact, acquire, etc.

It is convenient, fast, simple to access, easy to get started, and can communicate across planes, so it is promoted very quickly.

Because of the Grand Speaker and the Mourning Undead Soldiers, the entire Holy Light Alliance has a very high acceptance of undead, ghosts, souls, etc. Coupled with the fact that the Grand Speaker himself moved some contacts with the alliance's high-level officials to the Soul Home, soon, the Soul Home became popular throughout the Holy Light Alliance.

The liveliest place in the Soul Home is naturally the bulletin board, where various bounty tasks, purchase requests, sales, etc. are published. The official will also provide guaranteed transactions for both buyers and sellers.

Roger's student said five days ago that he had discovered a strange thing. He took a look at the magic rubbing. It was a regular object similar to an olive pit, floating in the void, moving away in the direction of the Boundless Great Void.

There are all kinds of objects in the void, regular and irregular. There are very regular spherical spheres, but in fact, they are naturally formed.

Naturally formed objects, unless they are precious metals or precious crystals, are not valuable. What is valuable is man-made objects that are not naturally formed.

Roger couldn't tell whether this olive-shaped object was natural or man-made, and didn't take it to heart. He casually let the student hang it on the Soul Home. Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous thing actually attracted the other party to come to the door for a transaction in person, which is much more expensive than a guaranteed transaction.

What is this thing? It actually attracted the other party to come to the door in person?

If it were normal times, Ogar would still have the leisure to chat a few words, but now he has no mood at all. He hasn't slept for five days and five nights.

Although for an existence of his level, not sleeping will not affect his physical health, it also means that his spirit has been tense, making him very irritable.

Taking out ten magic crystals, Ogar placed them on the table and said: "This is not the content of the transaction. Take the money, tell me the location, done."

"Oh my, if you don't tell me what it is, then I will cancel the transaction. Is it amazing to have two stinky money? Go, go, go, take your money..." Ogar's attitude made Roger angry, and he wanted to drive people away on the spot.

Although astrologers are poor, Roger wouldn't care about ten magic crystals. This was originally extra money earned by the students. The pricing was far lower than those professional astrologers outside. Otherwise, why say that students are the most cost-effective labor?

The magic crystals spent by Ogar's team to teleport over were more than ten. Then what is the value of this olive-shaped drifter? Is it worth spending so much to come to the door in person?

Before he finished speaking, Ogar turned his hand and took out twenty magic crystals, placed them on the table with the original ten, and said lightly: "Location."

"You... what do you mean?" Roger's heart jumped.

Ogar didn't speak, and turned his hand again to take out thirty crystals, a total of sixty magic crystals piled on the table.

"This... I..." Roger was shocked by this posture and was a bit at a loss.

Ogar turned his hand again and took out about sixty or seventy magic crystals. The quantity was too large, and he was too lazy to count. It was about enough.

With a total of maybe 130 magic crystals piled on the table, Roger couldn't sit still anymore. He could ignore ten magic crystals, but he couldn't ignore such a pile.

However, he was also very curious why the other party was willing to spend such a high price to find that olive-shaped drifter.

Hesitantly looking at Ogar, then at the magic crystals on the table, and then at Ogar's hand, seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of raising the price, Roger finally gritted his teeth and moved his eyes away from the magic crystals: "I still have to know what it is, otherwise I will cancel the transaction."

What if it is some kind of ruin? Isn't it more precious than a mere 100-plus magic crystals? At that time, give him a fake coordinate, and go drag that thing back yourself.

Thinking very beautifully, it is a pity that the person in front of him is a God Slayer. Only heard Ogar say annoyedly: "Why can't I learn that guy's technique? Messed up."

While speaking, Ogar flicked his finger, and a wisp of powder flicked onto Roger. Soon, Roger's body was extremely itchy, and a layer of mold filaments grew on his skin.

As soon as the filaments grew, Roger felt something drilling into his skin. It didn't hurt but was super itchy.

Just when Roger was so itchy that he wanted to tear off the skin on his body, Ogar asked: "Can you tell me the location now? If you don't say it again, these filaments will parasitize on your body forever, making you unable to die, but itchy to death every moment."
