CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 265: THE BIZARRE SKILLS OF THE ASTROLOGER

"Ove? Alas, that’s truly Gula’s regret."

Derbius shook his head: "What a pity, that bunch of fools from the Materialist School finally produced a legend."

The rule tremors from a few days ago, he also felt them.

But Lin Ke, hearing Derbius’s words, widened his eyes and said: "Mr. Derbius... that bunch of fools from the Materialist School?"

Oh dear...

Lin Ke thought of a possibility.

"Because I’m from the Idealist School, heheheheheh..."

Derbius squinted at Lin Ke: "You’re Ove’s disciple, so you believe this world is made up of matter?"

"Mr. Derbius, could you please not laugh like that?" Lin Ke felt a bit helpless: "Anyway, please drop it."

He did not want to answer such questions about Idealism versus Materialism. It was a death trap.

Even someone as good-natured as Ove used to get angry at such questions, let alone this old man in front of him who seemed to have a bad temper.

"Hehe, cunning little kid." Derbius chuckled twice, about to mock the flaws and shortcomings of the Materialist School, when suddenly he recalled the math problem in Lin Ke’s dream that caused his astrology sphere to shatter...

Thus, he suddenly fell silent, and after a while said: "Let me check for you. The person you mentioned, is he the Wild Boar Great Shaman, right? My divination usually doesn’t involve legends and gods, but since that kid, Ove, is to my taste, I’ll take a look."

As he spoke, Derbius waved his hand, and all the windows of the wood cabin closed in response, plunging the room into darkness, causing Rica to hold Lin Ke’s body tighter.

"Kekalu, Sasakapuedo..."

At this time, a string of some ancient secret words emerged from Derbius’s mouth, and the air began to tremble. Mysterious laws began to appear.

Star Law, Moon Law, Light Law, Dark Law, Fate Law...

Derbius, indeed worthy of being an ancient legendary [Astrologer], surprisingly had more or less exposure to such powerful laws.

After reciting the incantation, Derbius mocked himself with a laugh: "Don’t be fooled by how formidable each law seems, but these powerful laws are the hardest to master! Three thousand years have passed, and I haven’t progressed an inch, hehe..."

Lin Ke felt a chill; it wasn’t as simple as he thought.

"Hey, it’s coming." Suddenly, behind Derbius, black tentacles appeared like octopus arms, reaching towards Lin Ke and Rica.

"Don’t move!"

Derbius said in a deep voice, and Lin Ke and Rica were instantly bound motionless by the tentacles.

There was no wet, slippery feeling, nor any sticky, gooey sensation.

Instead, there was a warm, candle-like burning sensation.

Derbius’s eyes were momentarily sprouting seven or eight octopus-like tendrils, extending out, ferociously licking the eight cracked astrology sphere in front of them.

Instantly, specks of light emerged from the astrology sphere, and then burrowed into Derbius’s eyes.

Those light spots merged into Derbius’s eyes, and then converted into energy transmitted through the tentacles into Lin Ke and Rica’s bodies.

The skills of an [Astrologer] are so bizarre...

Lin Ke only felt his sanity dropping rapidly, but thinking about it, this profession has existed since ancient times, so it’s quite normal.

At this moment, Lin Ke only felt his eyes burning, and then suddenly he saw a scene!

It was an incredibly dark sky, surrounded by countless skeletons of creatures around a blazing altar.

A short-statured Ratman, with a left eye completely white and a right eye light blue.

He was standing on the altar.

This Ratman put on a hood on himself, holding a scepter made of a human infant’s skull in his right hand.

Beside him, under the altar, there was a vague silhouette, seemingly using some skill on him.

As a result, amid a transformation, the strange-eyed Ratman’s body gradually became taller, his appearance more ferocious and terrifying.

The Wild Boar Great Shaman is the Ratman in disguise!

Lin Ke’s expression shook, finally realizing he was trapped in a fallacy.

All the clues he had gathered before might have been smokescreens disseminated by the hidden mastermind!

For what purpose?

Perhaps, it was just to lead him.

Lead him to embitten against the Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince of the Gula Royal Family, to suspect Lady Gardener!

No...

Lin Ke suddenly thought of something more terrifying.

And just at this moment, the scene shifted.

The "Wild Boar-man" bowed towards the vague dark figure beside him.

Bowing!

This was a ritual from the Mythical Era Holy Life Alliance!

Where lesser beings bowed to unitary beings, unitary beings bowed to regular beings...

And so on!

This signified submission!

Of course, after the Gula Kingdom became preeminent, the rituals of Naseng have basically changed.

For example, the ritual to express mutual respect became lightly tapping the position above the heart with the right hand.

Once the "Wild Boar-man" finished bowing to the shadow beside him, he turned around, preparing to bow again.

Behind him, however, was a ball of light.

Yet, at this moment, a terrifying heat and prickling pain emerged from his sight, causing Lin Ke to involuntarily close his eyes.

"Dominator! Dominator Level!" Derbius exclaimed in shock beside him, while the tentacles that emerged from his eye pupils suddenly melted like pork fat touching a flame, turning into pus in an instant.

He staggered back several steps, grabbing the edge of a chair, his aura in turmoil.

This matter also involves a Dominator!

Lin Ke also realized, the blurry figure appearing at the beginning of the scene was a legend; though it was unclear, it didn’t matter.

And the second figure that appeared was actually a Dominator!

A Dominator Level entity was involved in this conspiracy!

How many Dominators does Naseng have?

The Gula Kingdom has three: the Human Race’s Insomnia Emperor, the Moon Goddess, and the Dragon Race’s Five-Colored Dragon Mother.

In the Holy Life Alliance, the Phoenix Race’s Sun God, and the Life Deer Race’s Primordial Leaf.

In the Eternal Freeze Court, the Frost Wolf Race’s Earth Wolf.

Adding on that bowing gesture...

"Sun God!" Lin Ke opened his eyes, all bloodshot, clearly irritated by the intense light just now.

"I... I really want to drag the Goddess of Fortune out and give her a beating. Why am I so unlucky!" Derbius didn’t say much but rather let out a miserable wail.

Just now, his astrology sphere gained seven more cracks, and in an instant, he was injured from trying to spy on a Dominator.

Could this be the curse the Goddess of Fortune cast on him back then?

Though Lin Ke’s mind was full of the Sun God right now, he also felt a bit sorry for Derbius, so he said: "Mr. Derbius, I didn’t anticipate the involvement of a Dominator behind the scenes. Consider this as me owing you a favor."

He indeed hadn’t expected it!

At most, he thought there would be two or three legends involved, at the very most adding the God of Ratman.

But now it seems...

Behind the God of Ratman, there is also the Sun God!

"Alright, you two leave now!" Derbius was in a terrible mood, didn’t want to see Lin Ke and Rica for even a second.

Hence, Lin Ke and Rica left.
