Lord of the Star Ocean

The star tower is the star tower of the astrologer, but in the star tower, besides the astrologer, there are guard warriors, handyman servants and star tower apprentices, and the number of star tower apprentices is the largest.

They can be regarded as preparatory astrologers, and they are also working assistants of astrologers. There is a huge gap between apprentices and astrologers. Many star tower apprentices have spent their entire lives failing to cross this gap.

For example, the star tower apprentice in front of him, with gray temples and an old face, looks like he is in his fifties or sixties. Basically, his future is hopeless, and he stays in the star tower purely for survival.

Although he is not a real astrologer, facing Nie Feng and others, this star tower apprentice still showed a dignified posture: "Are you here to test your aptitude?"

Is not this nonsensical? Nie Feng thought to himself.

Compared to Nie Feng's disapproval, the middle-aged businessman was undoubtedly in awe. He bowed obsequiously and said, "Master Astrologer, hello, I'm here to test my son's aptitude."

As he spoke, he skillfully handed over a bulging money bag: "This is the test fee..."

The star tower is open to anyone who wants to test their qualifications, but this service is not free, because testing qualifications requires opening a special star array and consuming energy cores.

So the cost of a test is fifty gold.

For most civilians, this amount of money is not a small amount, and it takes years of frugality to save it. However, except for those families who are really in difficulty, most families will try their best to send their children to the Star Tower for testing, fighting for the chance to reach the sky.

Although the probability is very low, once it is tested that he has the talent to become an astrologer, the child's future can be said to be bright, and the whole family will benefit from it.

When Nie Feng's predecessor was five or six years old, his family sent him to the Star Tower for a test, but he didn't have the relevant talent.

"I'm not an astrologer..."

The old apprentice took the money bag stuffed by the middle-aged businessman, he weighed his face naturally, and a smile appeared on his face.

"come in."

He has been doing testing work for many years, and his experience can be described as extremely rich. As soon as he passed his hands, he knew that there were more than fifty gold coins in this purse, at least ten more.

And these ten coins are a favor fee for him.

The middle-aged businessman straightened up with a smile on his face, turned his head and gave Nie Feng a contemptuous look, then entered the star tower with his wife, child and two guards.

Nie Feng didn't compete with him, he deliberately lagged behind by a few steps and followed with Ye Qingniang, mother and son.

It doesn't matter at all to test first and test later. The talents needed by astrologers are rare.

The test star array is in the center of the entrance hall. It is a field surrounded by five crystal prisms. Each crystal prism is as high as half a person. The top of the crystal prism is inlaid with a star carved with a white energy core, shining brightly under the light.

The person who presided over the test was a real astrologer. He looked older than the star tower apprentices, his hair was all white, and he stood beside the test star array with a drowsy look.

It was only after being reminded by the star tower apprentice that the astrologer came to his senses, waved his hand weakly and said, "Stand inside."

The middle-aged businessman quickly pulled his little fat man over and asked him to stand in the center of the star array.

The astrologer nodded, but he didn't see what he was doing. Beams of light appeared silently on the smooth ground, and an extremely complicated formation suddenly appeared, surrounding the little fat man in the middle.

"Wow~"

The little fat man was taken aback, and cried out as soon as his mouth deflated, tears running down his nose.

At this moment, the nuclear star on a crystal pillar to the right of him suddenly lit up, emitting a faint soft light.

The middle-aged businessman and his wife were overjoyed when they saw this, and they were so excited that they were about to jump up.

These five crystal prisms are the key to testing aptitude. The more stars that light up, the better. The more stars, the stronger the aptitude and the higher the talent.

A star lights up, indicating that this little fat man has the talent of an astrologer!

The old astrologer who was in charge of the test also had his eyes lit up, but soon showed a look of regret, because although the first star was lit, the brightness was not very high, which belonged to the worst qualification.

After a while, seeing that there was no change in the stars, he said, "Half-star talent."

Although it is the worst talent, the middle-aged businessman is still very happy, grinning and saying: "Thank you, thank you astrologer!"

Although it is impossible to become a real astrologer with a half-star talent, it is better to have talent than to have no talent. Even if you are just a star tower apprentice, your status is not as bad as that of the lowest nobleman.

While thanking, he presented the money bag red envelope that had been prepared.

The old astrologer was not polite either. After all, half-star talents are rare on a wild planet like Haoyuanxing. He smiled and said, "If you want to learn astrology, send him to the star tower tomorrow."

The Star Tower will not invest resources in cultivating children with only half-star talent, but if the parents are willing to spend money, the Star Tower is also happy to teach astrology.

As for whether you can master astrology, it depends on your own efforts.

The middle-aged businessman is very rich and doesn't care about spending at all, so he naturally smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord..."

The old astrologer waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Nie Feng: "Are you also here to test?"

Ye Qingniang hurriedly delivered the prepared money bag: "Yes, my lord, both of my children have to be tested."

The middle-aged businessman led the little fat man over arrogantly, and looked at Nie Feng and Ye Qingniang with mocking eyes.

In his opinion, it was a complete waste of money for the two of them to come here with their two children. Maybe they made up everything and owed huge debts in an attempt to reach the sky in one step, but the reality will teach them a cruel lesson!

He didn't leave the star tower right away, and stood by to watch the joke.

And the alluring woman hugged the little fat man and kissed and kissed, and said with a smile on her face, "Xiaobao is awesome!"

At the same time, she also looked at Nie Xiaoying who had just stood on the star array with contempt, and she had exactly the same thoughts as the middle-aged businessman.

An obscure incantation sounded softly, as if whispering from the ancient prehistoric wilderness, and the star formation that had been silent just now lit up again.

Although Nie Xiaoying, who was standing in the middle of the star array, was uneasy, seeing her mother's eyes full of expectation and encouragement, the little girl couldn't help puffing out her chest.

The next moment, she suddenly felt her eyes light up.

A group of bright rays of light instantly caught her eyes, making her dare not look directly!
