Chapter 283: Observation 2

Chapter 283: Observation 2

"An unfamiliar powerful Blood Clan? Forgive my directness, but the Star Observation is the highest form of observation under the deities, and unless one is aware of the results of the observation, it is impossible for anyone to change the destined course of the stars..."

The ethereal shadow spoke.

However, as it spoke, it quickly noticed Duke Yoroc’s increasingly impatient expression and hurriedly changed its tone:

"Of course, if Lord Yoroc truly wishes to observe again, the loyal Adast is more than willing to serve..."

"Then let’s begin."

Duke Yoroc rubbed his temples.

"Very well, please place the Star Sacrifices according to the ritual. Since this is the third observation for the same purpose, the offerings consumed this time will be four times that of the first."

Duke Yoroc nodded, his hand shimmering, and out appeared a series of precious magical materials such as Falling Star Stone, Moon God’s Tears, Sacrificial Gold, and Star Illusion Incense.

He carefully placed them around the crystal ball, forming a six-pointed star pattern, and then began to recite the spell with modulation.

Specks of starlight bloomed atop the crystal base, and under the crystal ball, a mysterious Array dazzled with starlight emerged.

Duke Yoroc exhaled softly and commanded:

"Adast, begin."

"I obey your command."

The ethereal shadow answered reverently.

Subsequently, a brilliant radiance burst forth on the crystal ball, and the ethereal shadow transformed into photons that surged into it. Specks of starlight continuously rotated within the crystal ball, casting splendid and mysterious galaxies on the ceiling of the quiet chamber.

Duke Yoroc watched the dazzling crystal ball with solemn focus, his hands subconsciously clenched, seemingly very anxious.

After a long time, the brilliant light gradually dimmed, the splendid galaxy on the ceiling suddenly receded, and was reabsorbed by the crystal ball. The crystal ball flickered briefly before the ethereal shadow reappeared above.

"How did it turn out?"

Duke Yoroc hurriedly asked.

"Strange! Truly strange! The result of the divination has changed! And changed so drastically..."

The crystal ball flickered slightly as the surprised voice of the ethereal shadow emerged.

Duke Yoroc’s eyelids twitched, and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat:

"What exactly?"

"Very poor, extremely poor! The starlight is dim, the life star has reversed, and even the adjunct stars that were supposed to return to their places have changed their paths... This is almost a declaration of the bankruptcy of the Returning Star Plan!"

"Not only that, the main star is dim, with a lurking tendency to collapse. The danger lies not only in the Returning Star Plan, but also those executing the plan will fall into great risk..."

The ethereal shadow spoke with a stern voice.

While speaking, it couldn’t help but ask:

"Lord Yoroc, what exactly did you do? Could there have been some mistake that provoked the wrath of the other Blood Clans, or even caused the Princes to take action?"

"Forgive Adast for being direct, but such a disastrous observation result has not been seen by Adast for over a thousand years. The last time was when one of your cousins observed his own fate, and he had unwittingly slept in the coffin used by Lord Yabaton for sleep... Later, he was indeed dried and made into a specimen by Lord Yabaton and hung in the castle..."

"The current observation results are not much different; your Returning Star Plan is almost certainly doomed to fail. Not only will the plan fail, but even the future of the Nais Clan is obscured by clouds, making an already perilous journey even more dangerous..."

"Lord Yoroc, in the presence of which deity did you desecrate Their divine statue? This isn’t simply a matter of a powerful Blood Clan disrupting the plans... Honestly, after seeing this result, Adast has even begun to contemplate fleeing, but alas, Adast has no legs..."

Duke Yoroc: ...

"Is it that severe?"

His eyes widened, his expression full of disbelief:

"Adast, could you have observed something incorrectly?"

"Lord Yoroc, Adast too hopes that this result is incorrect, but as for whether the result of the Star Observation is right or wrong, you as an elder of the Nais Clan should know better than I..."

Duke Yoroc was silent.

"I want to observe the future situation and trends of the Northern Territory Lowlands."

After some thought, Duke Yoroc spoke again.

"The future situation and trends of the Northern Territory Lowlands? Lord Yoroc, forgive Adast for being direct, but if the Returning Star Plan fails, observing the Northern Land Lowlands will also be meaningless. Adast can foresee with the crystal ball that the result will certainly not be the Nais Clan successfully taking control. Even so, do you still wish to observe?"

"Do as I say, prepare for the observation."

Duke Yoroc said coldly.

The first observation was unexpected; he, of course, knew that observing the Northern Territory would likely yield no better results.

But what he needed was not the result, but to understand through the observation of the Northern Territory what exactly he was facing.

Although he couldn’t determine the strength of the mysterious Bloodline warrior, a believer of the Mitra Bloodline from the Nais clan could not possibly create a crisis for the entire Nais Clan. He needed to perform an Observation to gather more information.

"Alright...okay, please arrange the necessary Star Sacrifice according to the ritual."

After hearing Duke Yoroc’s words, the illusion above the crystal ball spoke obediently.

Duke Yoroc nodded and once again took out various rare magical materials, arranging them with a wince, and started chanting the spell with emphasis and pause.

Soon, the dazzling starlight descended once again, and the Star Crystal began the second Observation.

Moments later, the starlight faded, and the illusionary shadow flickered slightly.

The airy voice appeared again, but this time, it was more puzzled:

"Strange...really strange... Adast’s Observation has yielded no result..."

"No result?"

Duke Yoroc’s gaze sharpened.

He frowned and said,

"Are you sure? Could there have been a mistake?"

"Impossible! The wise Adast, personally crafted by Lord Cosy as an Observation Holy Artifact, there is no one in Mireya more adept at Star Observation than Adast! Adast is certain that his Observation was effective, yet it yielded no results..."

"Strange...it’s indeed very strange!"

The illusionary shadow shook its head.

Hearing the illusionary shadow’s words, Duke Yoroc’s expression changed slightly:

"The Observation was effective? Are you sure it was effective?"

"Of course, Adast is absolutely certain."

The illusionary shadow answered.

Duke Yoroc fell silent.

His expression fluctuated, his gaze carrying a tinge of astonishment.

An effective Observation wasn’t supposed to yield no results.

Unless...the target of the Observation was shielded and protected, preventing the feedback from the Observation.

However, blocking the feedback from an Observer’s Observation is much more difficult than performing the Observation itself, especially when the Observation involves a Holy Artifact and a Legend.

Although Duke Yoroc wouldn’t arrogantly believe his Observation Technique was the strongest in the world of Mireya, he was also very certain that there weren’t many in the entire Mireya who could block his control of the Star Crystal from performing an Observation.

Unless...a more powerful force had personally interfered!

With this thought, Duke Yoroc’s expression grew even more puzzled.

Could it be, the gaze of the Contract God Mitra had truly fallen on Castel?

Was it the power of the Contract God Mitra that was preventing his Observation?

Was that mysterious Bloodline truly a believer of Mitra, and the Holy Royal Court was planning to act against the Nais Clan?!

If that was truly the case, then it was trouble— the current Nais Clan did not possess the strength to contend with the Holy Royal Court...

Information...

He needed more information!

The deities had not walked the earth for many years, their will executed by the deities’ Deputies.

If the Holy Royal Court truly had further intentions toward the Nais Clan, he needed to quickly determine the true identity of that Bloodline!

"Lord Yoroc, are you...all right? You seem to look very pale."

The illusionary shadow spoke cautiously.

Duke Yoroc took a deep breath and asked:

"Adast, do you still have enough stored starlight to continue the Observation?"

"Of course, Lord Yoroc, it has been seven years since you last used me, and there is still enough starlight left for you to perform two more Star Observations."

The illusionary shadow answered.

Duke Yoroc nodded, his gaze flickering, and said:

"If that’s the case, help me perform an Observation one more time."

"This time...I want to observe the identity of that strong Bloodline I encountered today!"
