The Star Caller, also known as Agatori, is one of the corners of the "Hexagram Gate" affiliated with the Star Ring Sect. The name comes from the "Surveying Star" in ancient mythology, and is not the actual name in the astrology. This department was responsible for planning sacrifices, classifying knowledge, and retaining copies, and many aspects of astrology intersected with them.
During Geer's narration, Lu Ning also began to learn some astrology knowledge. Some of the writings left by the Star Caller were actually very valuable. In the past, Evarang also filtered out the non-harmful knowledge and spread it out. Unfortunately, the subject of astrology is too unpopular, and very few people really know how to study it, so there is no name for it. Geer is the kind of person who studies carefully. He did not try to challenge the success rate of divination, but started from other aspects to make divination more meaningful.
"Astrology is not about telling us our destiny or changing our destiny." He held up the crystal ball and raised it to a position as high as his head. The universe and starry sky were reflected in the crystal ball.
"It shows connections and correspondences between all things. Many people think that how are stars and people related? However, everything in the world, from appearance to death, is always connected in various ways. This — forms the basis of astrology.”
No one answered, because although Geer's words were not difficult to understand, they were different from the astrology that people usually learn.
"Influence. That's what I call astrology, or everything in divination. It's not a happy thing. You will find that there are inexplicable and incomprehensible connections between seemingly unrelated things. . What kind of hat you wear when you go out today determines the life or death of a noble in another country."
"Teacher, have you really seen these?"
Some students raised their hands to ask questions. Geer was stunned for a moment, and seemed to take a moment to understand that this was not an opinion but a question. The corner of his mouth twitched and he forced a smile: "Yes, you can see it."
"So, can this be changed?" Lu Ning also raised her hand.
"Divination is called this because it is different from prophecy." Geer carefully put down the crystal ball, but the starry sky stayed where it was.
"People have been arguing about the three major categories of divination for four centuries. It's actually a complete waste of time."
Lu Ning glanced at Juno, and she explained to Lu Ning in a low voice.
There are three categories in magic divination. The first one is that the result of divination is absolutely achieved, no matter what you do, it will be useless, which is called the absolute fate category; the second one is that there are many possibilities for divination, as long as you follow the corresponding methods, you can achieve it. Those who can avoid unfavorable situations are called chosen fate types; while the third type is those who act because of divination, which will eventually lead to people achieving the results of divination, and are called twisted fate types. Supporters of the three categories are arguing endlessly about which type of divination is truly correct. After all, they have no definite axiom to argue about except this kind of thing.
"Divination is about finding connections and amplifying influence. No matter which category, in the end, it is the result of the amplification of this influence. As long as you do it, it will have an influence." Geer fiddled with the starry sky in front of him and let it slow down. It slowly expanded and enveloped the entire lecture hall.
"Here comes the fun part." Juno smiled.
"I know that what you like to see is practical examples. Many of you are curious about the difference between me, a Grand Magister-level astrologer, and what you have learned."
Geer tried hard to raise his head, trying to put on a proud expression, but he still looked a little stupid. But no one cared. Everyone was staring at the starry sky and looking forward to what kind of demonstration he would make next.
"Just now, three students raised questions. Thank you very much for your questions and suggestions. I will divine for you. Of course, it is something that is not that important to you, but it is still necessary. How about it?"
This time it was Juno's turn to cast an envious look. Obviously, there was no such episode in the last class because no one asked questions at all.
The starry sky completely enveloped the classroom. Geer raised his hands and muttered something in his mouth. He couldn't hear it clearly, but he felt like he was echoing the stars. That starry sky is obviously a projection of the real sky,
"The first classmate."
Geer obviously adheres to the "sequence" element in astrology. He first pointed out the person who asked him to change the way he lectures: "The stars of Pollux, Guansuo, and Chen Dingsan shine, the main star is the reference, and the dividing line is Mo." , corresponding to the future tense seven seven twenty eight, should be in the Amethyst District, where you can meet the person you want to see."
The student's eyes suddenly lit up.
But Geer didn't continue to explain, and immediately turned to the next one.
"The sky is falling to the right of Yuhuan Palace, which is bad. There are tail lights on the left and right, ghosts are twinned, and the stars in the area are collapsing. This is a sign of danger. If you take the object in the blue mercury area after three days, you will be killed within twenty days."
This time the whole house was in an uproar.
To be honest, those who heard this would not subconsciously refute the bad words, but the result of death was a bit too shocking, and the student's face turned pale.
"Teacher, can this...can..."
"If you don't take anything, give up something and ask for a life, that's feasible." Geer waved his hand and finally looked at Lu Ning.
"The lunar sky is in the sky, the six auxiliary stars of Death Soul are equally divided, and the three stars of Rainbow Sun, Eagle Eagle, and Li Xiang are in separate formations. The future is dangerous. However, what you are looking for corresponds to the darkness of the Aquarius twin stars. It is a fake and should be found tonight. Zi Chou fell into Opal."
Lu Ning in the front didn't understand, but he did in the back.
He should be talking about the first task, rubbings of the magic book. Lu Ning originally wanted to find out on her own, but now it seems that someone has already made a rubbing. Is there a chance to get it tonight?
"Uh...Teacher, I'm not a student of astrology. This position..."
"Oh, I won't give you directions. I won't give you details. If you appear at the right place at the right time, you will naturally meet the conditions." Geer explained.
Lu Ning nodded, seeming to understand.
"But teacher, this is all in the future, and we don't know if you are right now." Someone asked again.
"Restore the past is someone else's business. If you don't use astrology and divination to deduce the future and interpret all things, that's not doing your job properly."

At dusk, the class finally ended. Even though Geer adjusted his speech, Lu Ning still had a headache. He could only know that people like Soygo were very individual and had good academic attainments.
However, two people in a row are related to the former Star Ring Sect. Is this a coincidence? Lu Ning didn't quite believe it.
"It seems that you are going to find what you want tonight?" Juno asked curiously when walking out of the door, "Don't you have to leave now?"
"Absolutely." Lu Ning nodded, "What about you? I see you went to Geer to ask some questions. You understand, you should be better than me, right?"
Juno chuckled: "In other words, I have a little more relevant knowledge. What he said is quite profound, I don't even understand it."
"Humble. I'm in a hurry to leave. Goodbye."
The two parted. Juno smiled and waved as she watched her go away. He found a nearby snack bar and sat down, looking at her for a moment.
"A counterfeit? A rubbing of a magic book? Maybe, but the question is whether we need to make enemies with people now. There are only a few people who clearly show tourist tendencies, but there is no way to tell who Xinzi is..."
When she thought about it for a moment, the food she ordered was brought out, which was a steaming bowl of noodles. But there was a small folded note pressed next to the noodles. While no one was looking around, Juno quickly pulled out the note, touched it slightly with her fingertips, and the touch quickly changed into a visual signal, allowing her to read the information on the paper.
[The net you have cast is too big. Tighten it up to avoid exposing your whereabouts and causing danger. The investigation phase should be over. Now is the time for action. If you are interested, come and talk to me. ——Yours sincerely, Watanabe]
"Oh...this is so embarrassing..."
On the other side, Lu Ning went back to deliver a message to Howard. After packing some things, she rushed out to the Opal District. After all, she had just been there two days ago and she knew the way, so there would be no problem.
We set off after dusk, and by the time we arrived at the Opal District, night had already fallen. The sky was filled with stars twinkling, but Lu Ning still couldn't see what kind of future these stars foreshadowed, and she even felt hungry.
"who?"
Two mages, one male and one female, walked up the road, and their clothes were different from the mainstream crowd. They both had patrol badges on their chests. They were subordinates of the previous temporary captain Kaios.
"I'm here to take classes."
"Class? So late..." The male magician frowned, but his companion was thoughtful.
"For tomorrow morning's class, I walked here from the Moonstone District. There's no teleportation now, and I can't afford to hire a car. I won't be able to come here in time tomorrow." Lu Ning began to show off appropriately.
"She is a lucky one." The female magician shook her head, "It's not easy. Forget it, do you have a place to live?"
"Not yet, I'll look for it later."
"This is where wandering mages gather. If you want to find a safe place, you must find a formal accommodation."
"I don't have that much money..."
The female mage was embarrassed.
"If you only stay for one night and don't mind where you sleep, just go for the hot and sour cocktail." The male mage also came up with an idea, "No one dares to cause trouble there anyway. After all, it is the largest bar here. Except at night, it is really a bit Noisy...you are not taking an exam, so it doesn’t matter, right?"
"It's okay, thank you both."
"It's nothing, student... Boss Kaios always said that he can help. It's just that there will inevitably be some trouble in the Opal District these days. It's not good to have people mixed up." The male mage sighed.
"We are also one of the mixed people." The female mage was helpless.
"Forget it...if that doesn't work, go to the guard house here. We might be able to find a place for you when we rest in the middle of the night. My name is Fred, and her name is Misha, remember?"
Lu Ning nodded, and the two left.
Of course she didn't need to go to the guardhouse. Since she was recommended a hot and sour cocktail, she might as well go and have a look.
At night, it is naturally much busier than before during the day, as this kind of place always is.
As the most popular shop in the area, there are quite a lot of people here at night, and in addition to Jaze who is sitting at the counter as usual, there are also two more waiters who help serve wine and food. One is a short boy with an innocent childlike face, and the other is a young woman with hair dyed green, wearing a sleeveless black dress and red scales on her arms.
"Good evening, Jaze." Lu Ning walked to the bar and naturally received an enthusiastic response.
"Lillian? I didn't expect that you would miss me after just one day. I'm sorry that I can't respond to your enthusiasm with fine wine, but I can treat you to the first glass."
"...Are you used to using this method to get people drunk?"
"That's not true. After all, many people will order a few more drinks once they feel embarrassed. The money earned in this way is much higher than what they pay for a glass of wine."
"Hey, Jaze, you never told me that you invited me to drink because of this!" On a small square table near the bar, a strong man in leather armor raised his arm, "You said you wanted to comfort me when I was injured. soul!"
"It's okay to fill up my wallet at the same time, right? After all, it's normal for a bachelor to spend his money here on drinking besides daily life. Is it possible that you have any unhealthy habits?" Jaze responded very quickly, It instantly gave the strong man a critical blow to his mind.
"I'm sad."
"Does that mean you should be drunk and happy?"
"It makes sense, but are you planning to defraud me of my money again?"
"You call fair trade a scam? Which glass of wine would you not order willingly?" Jaze asked with a smile.
The strong man was speechless, and then ordered a glass of wine.
The rest of the group also burst into laughter. Apparently this kind of thing happens often. Jaze seems to have a very good relationship with everyone here. He has no pressure to joke around and can easily get people to order more things.
Lu Ning drank her first drink. She originally wanted to order something like bread, but Jaze said that the owner Kulu was completely inedible except for his special skill in frying things, so he ordered a fried pork chop for her. .
Most of the guests had their own seats, and only Lu Ning sat at the bar. After Jaze finished everyone's orders, he came over and leaned on the counter to chat with Lu Ning.
"Lillian, why are you free to come here today?"
"Would you believe me if I said I was pointed out?" Lu Ning asked rhetorically.
"Xin, there's everyone in this place, there's a lot of fortune tellers on the streets of Turquoise District." Jaze raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Then there's no explanation. By the way, these two waiters are from your place too? I didn't see them last time."
"I know what you are interested in. Don't worry, that kid is an adult. He just has a harmless face and a darker heart than anyone else. Last time he came here to steal something, he accidentally stole Kulu's overnight stew. , I ended up having vomiting and diarrhea on the spot after eating, and I was forced to clean the kitchen for a week. I didn’t know what was wrong, so I stayed here as a waiter.”
"..." Lu Ning ate the fried pork chop in silence, praying that she would not cause any problems.
"As for that girl, she is also a troublesome person. She has dragon blood in her body. I don't know how she got it. She has some strange alienation phenomena on her body. Logically speaking, it is not uncommon for people with similar diseases, but she can still be so alive and kicking. Not much. By the way, the green hair was dyed by her herself and it has nothing to do with mutation. The most important thing is not to listen to her singing. It has some natural deterrent effects. People with poor physical fitness can easily bleed internally. "
"Sister Jaze, you must be very strong if you can control these two people."
"That's my super strength." Jaze was not modest at all.
