Chapter 998: Chapter 827: The Grand Project Gathering Astrologers from Five Cities

Under the gaze of crowds of Black Iron City players, Sariel and the Mermaid arrived at the Wild Rose Tavern.

Initially, Sariel didn’t quite understand the ordinary players’ enthusiasm for spectating, but after watching the live broadcast comments, he realized that most common players who rely on idle mining wouldn’t spend 5000 Mining Coins to travel to other cities; their own main city is their entire game world.

The patrons of the tavern solemnly stood and bowed.

Vivian, looking drowsy as though just awakened, descended from the second floor to greet them: "Greetings, Lord of the Divine Throne, welcome Sage Lord to visit once again."

The Mermaid exclaimed: "Were you sleeping?"

Vivian wiped sweat and replied: "I’ve been busy with the bakery these days, feeling rather exhausted."

Sela instantly noticed something was amiss and urgently said: "This isn’t just exhaustion; it’s excessive mental exhaustion, definitely a result of her intensive training after I gave her the graduation ring, Sariel, don’t disturb her rest."

Sariel had no choice but to say: "Miss Vivian, please take care to rest, no need to come down personally, Lord of the Divine Throne will be here for several days, there’s plenty of time to meet."

The Mermaid laughed: "Indeed, let’s not disturb Miss Vivian’s rest, give me two baguettes, I’ll eat as I stroll and play around."

Vivian smiled: "Right away, and let’s arrange two hot drinks for the two respected guests..."

After leaving the tavern, Sariel was preoccupied with astrology: "Lord of the Divine Throne, shall we go see the astrology lady?"

"Alright."

At this moment, the Black Iron City Church also reacted, Nun Mary appeared again with her followers: "Lord of the Divine Throne, your arrival was so sudden, I’m here to accompany you."

The Mermaid laughed: "Only you need to accompany, others can disperse, don’t block the streets."

"Understood."

Thus, under the close attention and following of players from throughout the city, a group of them arrived at the Astrology Shop in the Dark Alley District.

By now, two elderly ladies were already in the doorway to greet them.

One was Barbara, the other was the mechanical lady from the Bronze City Destiny Wheel Astrology Shop that Metatron had arranged to come over for exchange and study. (Note: Chapter 680 "Additional Lawsuit")

Metatron was quite moved: "They’re quite obedient, came just as mentioned. Sariel, would you help me examine her exchange learning outcomes?"

Sariel was also intrigued: "So you’re from the Bronze City Destiny Wheel Astrology Shop?"

The mechanical lady was overwhelmed: "The Silver Sage Lord actually knows me? Cuixiula feels deeply honored."

Sariel chuckled: "Let’s go inside, I’ll assess you as the Bronze Sage."

The two elderly ladies were extremely respectful: "Please!"

After entering, Sariel began questioning: "Ms. Cuixiula, would you divine the status of the Bronze Sage?"

The mechanical lady raised her hand: "10,000 Mining Coins!"

Pu!

Sariel laughed: "Mei, is your status only worth 10,000 now?"

The mechanical lady led Sariel to a roulette machine and began introducing it: "The wheel is drawn with the sun, moon, five major planets, featuring seven positions, the sun has the highest authority..."

Metatron was astonished: "She even brought her machine to Black Iron City!"

Seeing it once before, Sariel knew the rules: "So do I start spinning the jewel now?"

"Please!"

The jewel began rolling across the wheel, and again landed on the sun position.

Sariel couldn’t help but laugh: "So, should the Bronze Sage meet with the one holding the highest authority?"

The mechanical lady solemnly said: "Correct. Last time, the Bronze Sage came to me for astrology, he also landed on the sun position, and I mentioned that he should meet the Bronze Guardian God, but it seems he didn’t meet him, now there is trouble, which can only be handled by the highest authority holder."

Metatron was stunned. Sariel stopped laughing. The recent trouble in the sewers was very likely related to the Bronze Guardian God.

Sariel asked again: "What specifically is the trouble?"

The mechanical lady said: "The trouble from his last astrology is related to the unresolved murder case of 44 Dancing Girls in Bronze City."

Sariel exclaimed: "So the case hasn’t been resolved?"

The mechanical lady sighed: "If it had been resolved, that gentleman wouldn’t have come to me for astrology."

At this moment, Metatron was enlightened: "So the Emperor will pursue my crime of forging evidence in this case, right?"

Michael said seriously: "Although the crime is pinned on Chun, we really don’t know yet how those 44 Dancing Girls actually died."

The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Just then, the Mermaid spoke up: "Barbara, your visit last time with Master Hubble gave me significant inspiration, I want to learn astrology as well."

Barbara was shocked: "Lord of the Divine Throne, you are a Guardian God, would a god need to learn astrology?"

Sariel seized the opportunity to ask the previous question: "Earlier, I was trapped in the Bronze City sewer, and Lord of the Divine Throne sensed it right away, came to rescue me, isn’t this astrology?"

Barbara and the mechanical lady exchanged glances: "This? We believe it’s Divine Power from the Lord of the Divine Throne." ℯℯ𝑙.

The Mermaid laughed: "Whatever it is, I want to learn it, no problem, right?"

Barbara was uncertain: "I’ve never taught a god, don’t know if there’s an issue, but if Lord of the Divine Throne wishes to learn, it would be an honor for us."

The Mermaid then said to Sariel: "Sage, are you interested? If you’re occupied, you could attend to other matters."

Faced with imperial oppression, attending to other matters seemed pointless. Moreover, learning something alongside a beloved treasure seemed a joyful pursuit?

Sariel decisively sought learning: "I want to learn too."

Raphael felt anxious: "Sariel, old masters study for years just to reach the Master Level, where is the time for you to learn, better help me first."

Sariel instantly decided: "Raphael, you cease searching too, bring your Eve and join, now we have two astrologers available, let’s pursue a major astrology project, predicting the guild leader’s movements. Once my treasure becomes a prophet, even the Emperor wouldn’t dare confront her lightly!"

Raphael laughed heartily: "That’s why I just suggested letting the Mermaid predict the guild leader!"

Michael brightened: "Sariel’s approach is highly feasible; since we’re embarking on a major project, there should be astrologers in Gem City and Silver City as well, Raphael, while returning to Gem City, please invite them, Sariel, please invite them from Silver City too."

Gabriel said: "Raphael might as well also visit Oak City to invite them, use privileges to persuade them over."

Raphael got excited: "Great, this project gathers astrologers from the Five Cities, just the spectacle should astound that fat pig! If the pig dares act rashly, we’ll have Five Cities’ astrologers jointly predict a great calamity for him, scaring him to death!"

Gabriel laughed: "Why predict? His 20 farming and mining operations under supervision have all collapsed, he’s already in deep trouble, probably panicking to find solutions, might even kneel before the Mermaid spontaneously..."
