Chapter 753: Chapter 542 Lord Lind Attempts to Protect Innocence_2

Golden hair, a handsome face, and a gentle smile always present when speaking, like a Loyal Knight who could be extracted from any fairy tale.

She couldn’t sense more than that, but it was clear that the other party was incredibly powerful, otherwise Princess Magdalena wouldn’t have pledged her allegiance to him.

The red-haired girl stared at the face, and suddenly, fragments of images began to flicker before her eyes.

With a gasp, she drew Lord Lind’s attention away from his conversation.

The others noticed as well.

The person standing behind the red-haired girl instinctively covered her mouth.

Such impropriety in such a serious and important setting was very bad.

"Sorry, Isi has a lively personality,"

an elder among the Astrologers came forward voluntarily, offering his apologies.

"Being able to keep a child spirited and living life is what we must strive for, it is evident that she is very relaxed here." Lind wasn’t going to be upset over such a minor issue.

Before him were no less than 36 Astrologers.

Furthermore, these individuals could work together collaboratively to perform Divinations.

If combined with some magical powers, perhaps they could produce effects beyond imagination.

No one can refuse the foresight of the future, provided the visions of the future do not include one’s own demise.

The theory that knowing the future anchors it has always made Lind cautious about foresight, yet he still desired more, and Divination was indeed necessary.

"Thank you for your kindness," said the elder.

Before coming here, they had already been aware of what awaited them.

The Astrologers didn’t need to be puzzled over loyalty.

But as to whether they genuinely wanted to work for Lind Armand, they hadn’t reached a unanimous decision.

Changing the Lord they served could affect the development of future events; of course, it could also push everything toward a future direction. Being informed about the future was already valuable, and historically, all who knew and yet changed the future essentially facilitated those future events to occur.

"I am Gao Nan; you can call me Old Astrologer," the elder introduced himself, "We can perform Divinations for you, give you warnings, but we need a quiet space that won’t be easily disturbed."

Lind nodded lightly.

"Make any requests you have, I’ll fulfill them, but when can we begin the first Divination?"

Gao Nan looked hesitant.

"If you wish, now."

"Then let’s proceed now."

They sat cross-legged, ready for the ensuing Divination matters.

Compared to magic, more mystifying objects were slowly brought out and set up; Lind tried to discern something from them but found items like cow horns, dried rat, feathers of some unknown bird species, even hairless dried tails, bugs, and more.

But there was no magic fluctuating, nor were these rare materials.

With Gao Nan as the center, they set up for the Divination formally; they still wore hoods covering their faces, then murmured and chanted something quietly.

Lind’s gaze swept over the people present; the strongest among them was the Old Astrologer, Gao Nan, whose realm reached the Epic Rank. However, the combat power he displayed wasn’t threatening, only ranging between stages 2-3.

And as a non-combatant type of Astrologer, in a head-on battle with an enemy of equal combat strength, Gao Nan was almost undoubtedly destined to lose.

Lind’s gaze returned to the first person who had cried out in alarm at the sight of him.

She was the only juvenile figure in the entire group.

After sitting down, she repeatedly glanced in Lind’s direction.

As their gazes met again, Lind sent his own look her way; their eyes collided in mid-air, and with curiosity, she blinked at Lind as if she were observing something intriguing. Lind smiled in response, prompting her to quickly avert her gaze.

A girl with a strong sense of curiosity.

Unexpected to find such a personality among Astrologers; he had thought they were all witches who constantly murmured about the future.

It was the first time Lind had proactively allowed others to predict the future for him, displaying strong interest.

Unfortunately, the Astrologers did not ask him whether he wanted to know about career, love, work, etc., and then perform targeted Divinations; instead, they all simultaneously closed their eyes, as if waiting for something.

After a long while, Old Astrologer Gao Nan opened his eyes.

"I saw a massive eye, so vast it filled the sky, larger than the land beneath our feet, and you stand on the land looking up at this eye," he said.

Lind remembered the vision he once had while with Mei Lulan.

"How should I interpret this?" Lind asked.

"This is the future scenario we have seen, regarding you," said the Old Astrologer Gao Nan.

"I thought you always... well..." Lind did not finish his sentence.

Always obtaining a muddled concept and then interpreting it vaguely.

But since this is a vision of the future, and I have already been involved with it twice in the dark, I have to pay attention to it.

Yet, there’s no need to take it too seriously, as that scene obviously seems quite distant from me.

"Thank you for your divination."

He arranged for people to take care of the astrologers, their accommodation, and their future scope of work, trying hard to keep the Undead from disturbing them.

Of course, in Lind’s view, it was also interesting to perform divination for the Undead.

Unfortunately, there were only thirty-six astrologers, unable to meet the needs of thousands of Undead.

As a Lord and an enthusiast of information gathering, Lind would certainly not let go of the method the astrologers used to acquire their power.

And the Old Astrologer Gao Nan did not refuse.

This is an ancient sheepskin scroll, which shows it has been around for many years; he carefully spread out the scroll.

Prophet Path.

Some of the materials inside were easy to collect, but one key ingredient caught Lind’s attention.

"Starchild Scales?"

Lind remembered the time when he was in the northwest of the Rand Kingdom and encountered a group of not very powerful enemies.

Those miners.

Their Magic Potion recipe required Starchild Scales.

"What are Starchild Scales?" Lind actively inquired.

The Old Astrologer Gao Nan said, "This is related to a disaster that will descend upon this land in several decades, those celestial visitors, some of whom carry a special power. We once obtained Starchild Scales in an ancient collision and gained a part of their power from it."

"I see."

He had not expected that a Magic Potion recipe he did not pay much attention to at that time could involve so much.

"Where can more Starchild Scales be obtained?" asked Lind.

"We do not know, because every Magic Potion Stone that the astrologers once used consisted of Starchild Scales that had been preserved and passed down from long ago. We haven’t used it in over a decade," said Gao Nan.

"Over a decade?" Lind did not believe this statement.

He looked towards the red-haired girl, whose age definitely did not exceed 15 years.

"Isi is a natural awaken, she is a born astrologer," said the Old Astrologer Gao Nan, "she has the ability to see the future of certain people. She does not need to absorb the corrupt power of celestial objects like us."

"Isi?" Lind looked at the red-haired girl, "You have been staring at me since the beginning, have you seen something in me?"

"I saw you holding my hand dancing, and also..." she suddenly blushed, "kissing me."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Especially when the astrologers looked at Lind with scrutinizing eyes.

Lord Lind is known for his chastity, how could he possibly make a move on a young girl like you.

"It seems that being a natural astrologer is false," Lind coughed and said.

"It’s true!"

The red-haired girl could not bear the defamation, she was extremely confident in her ability.

"At a ball, and it looks like it happened recently, I haven’t grown taller yet, you were wearing clothes similar to what you’re wearing now." She gestured, even moving closer to Lind, trying to grab his hand and wrap it around her waist.

But this move was hard to succeed. Lind’s arm was like a heavy iron block, she simply couldn’t move it.

And she was almost half a head shorter than Lind.

Fortunately, people didn’t linger too long on this subject, tacitly ending the conversation.

Isi was also pulled away.

"That child is somewhat lively," said the Old Astrologer Gao Nan once more.

"Yes," Lind nodded in agreement.

Not conducive to preserving his honorable and upright image, today he would decree that balls be banned for the next three years, or that astrologers are not allowed to attend balls for three years, nor would he attend himself.

He must protect his reputation!
