Hevelius, the last astronomer who observed the starry sky with the naked eye, had already invented the telescope when he studied the starry sky. At that time, astronomers generally used optical equipment such as astronomical telescopes, but Hevelius insisted that only what the naked eye saw was real, and he still insisted on observing the starry sky with the naked eye as before.
The lack of optical equipment did not affect Hevelius's achievements. He distinguished and named many constellations, among which Lacerta was a constellation discovered and named by Hevelius.
Lacerta means lizard or chameleon in Hevelius' hometown.
When Rudolf entered Hevelius' hometown and this town, he found that it was not much bigger than Leman.
This seems to be a forgotten town with many old stone buildings in the town, and the form of these stone buildings seems to be in the era of the Knight Kingdom. There are no details or decorations on the rough stone walls, and even the guardrails of the balconies are made of stone, unlike the current buildings. With the promotion of smelting technology, the balconies are all iron railings.
The tallest building in the town is located on the edge of the town. There is an observatory there. There is no huge telescope in the observatory, but only a tower-like platform. On the platform is where Hevelius studies constellations.
It is hard to imagine that Hevelius was on that platform, observing the movement of stars with his naked eyes, and then recording the movement of those stars on drawings.
Hevelius's observatory has been abandoned by the Alchemy Council. It has no practical function and is now an unpopular tourist attraction.
This attraction is so unpopular that no one is willing to climb the platform. Some people in the town have always wanted to demolish the observatory and move the stones from the observatory back home to build walls.
For ordinary people, many of the alchemists' research is actually useless. They don't understand why the city council wants to keep this stone platform. Such a good big stone, a big stone that has not been weathered for hundreds of years, is a good wall material.
"Young man, did you only know about the astronomer Hevelius from reading books? Let me tell you, when Hevelius was alive, this town was all for his service, which gave him plenty of time to look up and stare blankly. Go and see, there is a sculpture of Hevelius next to the observatory, an old man looking up and staring blankly."
After arriving at the observatory, Rudolf saw that the observatory was very old and had not been repaired. The wooden components on it had long been rotten, the windows and doors were gone, but fortunately the spiral staircase was made of stone, which did not affect people climbing up.
Rudolf climbed up the observatory in the second half of the night. This attraction was indeed unpopular, with no staff on duty and no one to watch over it.
In the second half of the night, only two or three windows in the town had lights on, and there were no patrolmen on the road. This was really a town forgotten by the times. There was another reason why there were few people in the town. All the young people in the town were conscripted by the conscription office. The north was fighting with the nobles, and the Constitutional Army was urgently expanding its army.
Taking out a star stone, Rudolf began to draw the star hexagram.
In the sky more than ten kilometers away from the town, three airships were rushing towards the town.
On the airship, the director of the regional court looked serious and even a little flustered.
Because the Carolingian Lothair royal family suddenly announced the restoration, knight riots broke out in many places in the kingdom. The 7th-level word spirit of the Carolingian Parliament had to do a divination about the rear every day to avoid a city in the rear from causing great harm.
The word spirit made a prediction some time ago that a certain northern constellation might be abnormal, so the courts of various places were asked to patrol the direct areas of each northern constellation.
The place that the director of the court was going to patrol today was the Hevelius Observatory, where the Lacerta wizard was born in history.
This kind of patrol is very inefficient. The larger the constellation, the larger the direct area. Every point on the ground is a direct area of a certain constellation, and it is impossible to prevent wizards from being promoted by patrolling.
And it is extremely unrealistic to deploy enough forces to deal with the 7th level Beitian wizard in the direct area of each constellation.
Beitian wizards are already very terrifying on the continent. Wizards are stronger than apostles of the same level. Starting from the 5th level wizard, promotion requires 3 apostle relics, and he will accommodate the abilities of three apostles.
The director believes that it will be difficult for their regional court to deal with a 7th level wizard. Even if it is difficult, he has to do it. If the knight nobles collude with a 7th level wizard, it will become more difficult to deal with.
Rudolf did a divination before the promotion, and the divination result told him that the promotion was a little unexpected, but there was no need to worry.
The star stone was crushed into powder by Rudolf, flew out from his fingers, and flew to the ground of the platform. The star stone powder slowly moved and transformed into a scorpion tiger hexagram pattern on the platform.
Inside the double-line circle are two inverted intersecting equilateral triangles, forming a hexagram pattern. Three parallel circles appear in the middle of the hexagram, and inside the circles is a constellation pattern unique to the Scorpio.
Rudolf took out three relics, the main relic, the 7th-level zombie relic, the ghost shadow, the secondary relic, the 7th-level water wizard relic, the dolphin blood, and the 7th-level fraud priest relic, the fraud copper coin, and placed them in the three circles in turn.
Looking up at the top of his head, he found every bright star in the Scorpio, connected the bright stars, and imagined it as a chameleon.
Under the effect of the Scorpio hexagram, the three relics began to emit strands of apostle power. When the three apostle powers entered the Scorpio hexagram, the starlight in the Scorpio star field in the sky suddenly flickered, making it the brightest star field in the starry sky.
On the airship of the Judgment Hall ten kilometers away, the wizard witch hunter hurriedly reported to the director: "Director! There is a response in the Scorpio Tiger constellation! Someone is being promoted and wants to be promoted to a wizard of the Northern Scorpio Tiger constellation!"
"What stage has he been promoted to!"
"I don't know, Director. My level is too low. I can only vaguely sense that the star power in the direction of Scorpio Tiger constellation has become extremely active and extremely rich, but I can't sense what specific stage it has reached."
The director hesitated again and again, and finally issued an order to speed up. The House of Lords attaches great importance to the stability of the rear. If there is a big turmoil here, he will not survive. It is better to go and see, just in case he can negotiate. Even at worst, he is better off being a martyr than running away directly.
On the high platform, the Scorpio Tiger constellation hexagram is filled with the power of the apostles of the three relics. It has the conditions to receive the star power of Scorpio Tiger constellation. Rudolf began to receive the star power.
The zombie power in the main relic, the 7th level ghost shadow, the wizard star power in the secondary relic, the dolphin blood, and the fraudulent divine power in another secondary relic, the fraud copper coin, all entered Rudolph's body.
These apostle powers mixed in Rudolph's body. After the apostle power reached a certain concentration, the stars in the Scorpio in the sky became brighter, and the huge Scorpio star power suddenly surged out. Then, the stars in this star field dimmed and became the same as before.
Rudolph looked up, but did not see the blue star power of Scorpio. He was not panicked, because this involved the characteristics of the Scorpio star power. Scorpio represents chameleon. Rudolph could not see the star power because these star powers have extremely strong concealment characteristics. Rudolph's naked eyes can't see them at all, and even the danger intuition can't sense the Scorpio star power.
But he knew that the secret ceremony was going very smoothly, and the Scorpio star power was on the way down.
This is the characteristic of Lacerta, unknowable, uncheckable, and super stealth ability.
In the distance, the wizard hunter on the airship was sweating profusely: "What's going on? Why did the star power fall in the middle? Is there something wrong with the wizard's relics? Or is the astrological hexagram wrong?"
