Mystic Dominator

"See you at night, remember to collect information."

"Okay, be safe."

"..."

Ronald and Pablo rested in the room for half a day, during which time the two never had a conversation again.

They didn't ask each other a few words until they set off the next day.

Saying goodbye to the cult warlock, Ronald went to the location of the astronomy department alone again.

Surrounded by the wizard apprentices of the barrier mountain.

The place is not difficult to find out.

Ronald asked about the way, and then walked through the complex mountain city. It took more than an hour to arrive at the location of the Astronomy Department before noon.

Due to subject influence.

The location of the Astronomy Department is quite high. Excluding the six-person council that occupies the top of the mountain and is connected to the Well of Judgment, this is the tallest exposed building on Barrier Mountain.

Go out from the horizontal door with a similar architectural style to the observation deck.

Ronald didn't see that wide platform this time.

There is only a solitary arch bridge hanging on the side of the mountain, connecting to the only solitary tower a hundred meters away.

This tower belonging to the Astronomy Department has a black exterior with silver patterns as supplements. Compared with the tower of the Prophecy Department, its cross-sectional area is obviously more than twice as wide, and the magic power fluctuations contained in it are not added. strong cover.

And the most attractive thing about this magic tower...

Sure enough, it's still the top of the tower.

A huge instrument with many star molds embedded in it is placed there, and it is constantly rotating according to certain rules. At the same time, the orbits and speeds of these star molds are still different.

Ronald could see that it was similar to an astronomical instrument type.

But with the blessing of magical power, it is hard to estimate what this thing is useful for.

Ronald stopped and observed for half a minute.

During this period, no one was seen coming and going in and out of the tower of the Astronomy Department.

Compared with the situation of several subjects he saw on the road, this place is definitely regarded as deserted.

"..."

Standing still and scratching his hair, Ronald stepped forward.

After approaching, more details of the magic tower were revealed in front of him. Those silver lines all over the surface of the tower, if you look closely, you can find that their material is actually some kind of metal substance.

Take Ronald's exaggerated vision.

You can even vaguely see the distribution of finer lines inside.

Ronald raised his eyebrows, then reached out to knock on the door.

crunch——

The harsh sound of hinges rubbing against the edge of the door frame.

The tower of the astronomy department is not locked, as long as someone pushes it gently outside, it will open honestly.

Shaking his head and walking into the tower, Ronald couldn't help but sigh:

"Is the management really so loose..."

Go inside the tower.

Apart from the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, the first floor is surrounded by a simple square, guarded by only a few magic puppets made of metal, all of which are shaped like humans.

When Ronald appeared, these puppets just took a look.

There is no unnecessary action.

Did Katerina log her identity into these guard puppets?

Thinking of this, Ronald went up the stairs.

Starting from the second floor, the tower of the Astronomy Department finally looks like a magic tower.

A floor for storing books, a floor for conducting experiments, a floor for storing special items...

These necessary facilities appeared one by one, but the overall situation was still very small.

And even now that the time is approaching noon, there are still people sleeping loosely in the magic tower, and the test bench on the side is there, giving people a feeling that this place is a bit dangerous.

The location came more than two-thirds of the way up the tower.

The situation changed again.

From the floor here up, several floors in a row are surrounded by steel walls, and the door is locked so that you can't see what's going on inside.

"..."

This is a situation unique to astronomy.

Or... are other magic towers like this?

Ronald's expression was a little subtle, but after he crossed the floors surrounded by steel, a red-haired Katerina immediately came into view.

On this extremely high floor, the person in charge of the astronomy department transformed the entire three-story magic tower into his own living room. Katerina was preparing lunch in front of the open kitchen when Ronald walked up.

With Ronald's sense of smell...

He could even smell the woman frying eggs.

"Yo, Derek, you're here."

Katerina discovered Ronald without accident.

But she didn't look back, but continued to process the lunch, and at the same time turned her back to Ronald and invited: "You can sit down and rest first, I'm just preparing lunch, and you can try it too."

Ronald refused without hesitation:

"I'm not hungry..."

"But haven't you eaten? You are all from the astronomy department, so you don't need to be alienated from me."

Katerina interrupted Ronald's refusal without looking back, and at the same time directly stated the fact that Ronald did not have lunch.

How did Katrina know about this?

This guy spies on himself?

A series of questions quickly flashed through Ronald's mind.

But since he entered the barrier mountain, he has been careful and alert to what happened around him. Under the double guarantee of Ronald himself and Pablol, it is unlikely that they will be monitored.

Watching Katerina's busy back in front of the kitchen.

Ronald confirmed once again that this was not an easy wizard to deal with.

Slightly bowing his head, he obeyed Katerina's invitation and left the spiral staircase to enter the floor.

After sitting down in the same semi-open living room, Ronald immediately noticed the things on the table in front of him.

— This is an unfinished manuscript.

——The handwriting is neat, but there are a lot of traces of alteration and correction.

This was written by Katrina?

Ronald glanced at Katerina with some concern.

The guy who was still cooking didn't care about Ronald's movements at all, and just concentrated on dealing with the ingredients in front of him.

So, Ronald unceremoniously picked up the manuscript in front of him.

The fingers are habitually pressed under the above text.

[The development of civilization will bring certain (strike out), and will bring extremely exaggerated material needs. At the same time, the growth rate of the population will also surge during the development process. A normal level of productivity (crossed out), even if calculated with the power of a wizard, I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with this upward trend...]

"..."

Ronald raised his eyebrows looking at the content inside, and then continued to turn the pages.

[Aiming at this problem, how to solve this phenomenon is necessary.

—— Concentrate resources and enslave ordinary people without the ability to cast spells (cross out)

——Diffusion of spell knowledge on a large scale, essentially improving group productivity?

This method can solve short-term (crossed out) and long-term productivity problems, but the resource limitations of the world itself still exist, and later control must be adjusted by controlling the population...]

Finished another section.

Ronald was about to continue turning the page when Katerina's footsteps came in front of him:

"Yo, Drake."

"Are you interested in what I write?"
