Chapter 1221: The Non-existing Bloody Moon




Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

As far as Roland knew, the Chief Astrologer was a man of honor and responsibility . Although he had not made any particularly extraordinary contributions to the astronomical research, he had founded the Arithmetic Academy and trained many students . He also assisted with the statistical analysis . In a sense, he extended the influence of the Astrology Association and expanded this old organization into one that could rival the Society of Alchemists .

Dispersion Star had come to apologize multiple times for his negligence and failure to predict the premature appearance of the Bloody Moon . However, as Roland had been too busy with various events lately, he had dismissed him . Nobody ever anticipated that the Bloody Moon would appear so early, and Roland had never intended to rely on the Astrology Association to predict the Bloody Moon . He used their service simply because these scholars knew arithmetics .

The word "must" alarmed Roland . Disperson Star would have never used such an almost impertinent word had this not been an emergency . Therefore, Roland immediately headed to the Arithmetic Academy in the south of the city after he hung up .

The so-called observatory was only an attic of the Arithmetic Academy . The astrologers used this little attic as their temporary observatory before they moved to the top floor of the Miracle Building . Since the construction of the Miracle Building had taken longer than planned, Roland had made them a large telescope and transformed the attic into a revolving observatory so that they could continue with their astrological work .

Dispersion Star and the other astrologers had been waiting for Roland for a while . They soon went to their knee as they saw Roland come in . "Your Majesty," they chorused .

"Please rise," Roland said as he waved his hand casually . "Let's jump into the business . What did you find?"





"Your Majesty, please follow me," Dispersion Star said solemny as he led Roland to the attic at the top .

Roland immediately saw that the floor was littered with drafts and drawings . He believed they were the calculations of the orbits of various stars . In fact, Roland only knew very little about astronomy . After having obtained basic knowledge of physics and mathematics through two years of studying, these astrologers had now surpassed him .

Dispersion Star followed Roland into the attic, leaving the other astrologers outside . The moment the door was shut, Roland noticed that the old Chief Astrologer was wearing an extremely grave expression as if he were about to make his last will .

"Roland . . . " Nightingale muttered as she tugged his sleeve .

Roland nodded in comprehension . He knew Nightingale would protect him if he was in danger, but he was curious as to why the discovery alerted the astrologers so much .

"Your Majesty, we've been observing the movement of the Bloody Moon these days, as well as its change," Dispersion Star finally spoke after a moment of silence . "Since we failed to predict its appearance, we would like to make amends for our previous faults . We wanted to calculate its size and where its star district is . That's the duty of the Astrologers Association . However, the discovery horrified us . "

Horrified? Roland's brows contracted . This was not the word he expected to hear . "What do you mean? Get to the point . "

"Yes, Your Majesty," Dispersion Star obeyed in a low voice . "The Star of Extinction is probably a hoax . The Bloody Moon . . . doesn't exist . "

Roland was stunned . He turned around and looked through the window involuntarily . The crimson sphere was still aloft in the air, as sinister as ever .

"Are you saying that the thing over there . . . doesn't exist?"

"I couldn't believe it either when I made the conclusion . On the contrary, I found it quite amusing . However, gradually, we started to take it seriously," Dispersion Star said after a sigh, and his voice became more confident . "Yes, Your Majesty, it doesn't exist . According to the materials passed down to us and your books, we're positive that the giant star over there doesn't affect other stars . "

"When we drew the star chart and calculated the orbits of the other stars in the star district where the Bloody Moon is situated, we found not a single star deviate from its course, which means that the Bloody Moon doesn't affect those stars at all, nor does it affect us . "

"In addition, there's no change in its own movement either . Before, the Bloody Moon was stationary in the sky, which indicates that it was moving at the same rate as us . But now, it's still stationary, despite that it's so close . That doesn't make sense . "





Roland immediately understood what the old scholar meant . "If we remove it from the sky . . . "

"Then it'll explain everything," Dispersion Star replied while nodding . "Only when it isn't there will everything on the earth looks normal . In other words, wherever the Bloody Moon is, it won't make a difference to our world . "

Roland fell silent .

Now, he understood why the Chief Astrologer had been hesitant . The legend of the Bloody Moon and its relationship with the Battle of Divine Will were solely hearsay stories from the ancient Taquila witches without any solid proof . As the headmaster of the Arithmetic Academy, Dispersion Star had also heard about those witches . If it turned out that the witches were all lying, the discovery would probably jeopardize the healthy relationship between the witches and the king .

But Roland completely trusted the witches . He enjoyed helping Celine conduct research and taking the God's Punishment Witches to the Dream World . Even if they lied, Roland would still like to be with them .

At least, the demons did exist .

"Are you positive?"

"Your Majesty, I wasn't until I received a letter from one of my friends in the old king's city this morning," Dispersion Star said as he produced a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it open . There was a drawing of the Bloody Moon . "As he observed the moon from a different location, the calculation might be a little different . My friend used to be a noble, but he's very interested in astronomy . Therefore, I asked him to calculate the star district from another location . His calculation is very different from ours . It isn't even a minor error . That means that the Bloody Moon is stationary everywhere . It's not only stationary in relation to this area but to the whole continent!"

Roland's heart skipped a beat .

"Your Majesty, it isn't possible that a physical object remains stationary in relation to everything!" Dispersion Star proclaimed slowly .

Roland suddenly remembered the red speck in the Dream World . It was always the same no matter how he viewed it .

In the Dream World, it had a different name .

Erosion .
