Chapter 259: Like a Child Without a Mother

Sonya laughed, “Senior Sister, you actually believe in this?”

The Orange-haired Dancer pursed her lips. “I believe it if it’s something good; if it’s bad, then I don’t.”

Astrology is quite popular in the Stars Kingdom, but it’s just that—popular, without any real authority. After all, the seventy-two constellations are divided by birth dates. If one could truly discern Destiny this way, it might as well be done based on looks or family background, which would likely be far more accurate.

Astrology, rather than being a book of Prophecy, is better described as a book on psychology. People seek these readings not for their literal truth but for a sense of resonance and peace of mind. Many, after all, go through life without receiving a single blessing, praise, or word of comfort. When they see phrases like “Your hardships are over, happiness awaits tomorrow” in their horoscope, it might just save them, giving them the courage to face another day.

“I’m from the Pegasus constellation, what about you, Sonya?”

“I’m from the Moth Constellation.”

“The Moth Constellation, May...” Leoni flipped to a page in the middle. “May is a complex and changeable month for the Moth. Your romantic relationships will face challenges, as endless temptations test your lover; but your career will take off, with countless opportunities helping you to start anew...”

Leoni nodded as she read, “At least it’s half right. You’ll definitely come across many opportunities this month, Junior Sister. Hehe, good thing you’re not in a relationship, or your lover might just get stolen away... What’s with that expression, Junior Sister?”

“Nothing.” Sonya quickly managed her expression, putting on a professional smile. “Let me take a look at that book.”

The rustic girl closely examined the Moth Constellation’s astrology page, growing more astonished by the moment. Not only did many details match, but April’s reading was “This month will bring you a change”... Wasn’t this referring to the appearance of the Observer?

So accurate!

After carefully reading through the Moth Constellation section, Sonya pondered for a moment and decided to look up the Observer’s astrology...

...Ah? What constellation is the Observer again?

Had the Observer ever told me his birthday?

Thinking it over, the Observer didn’t know my birthday either.

We really don’t know much about each other... Realizing this, Sonya couldn’t help but sigh softly, gazing at her own Moth Constellation star chart.

As she looked through the pages, Sonya suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the Moth Constellation.

This star arrangement, wasn’t it the same one from the Commander’s Handbook by Demilo?!

The astrology book listed each star with a name and number. Sonya flipped to the star name directory at the back and quickly found the names of the other two stars marked by Demilo—”Loda” and “Vos.”

Vlozrada?

“Okay.”

That was the extent of their conversation tonight, their atmosphere akin to that of a father returning from a work trip and his daughter who had been looked after by her grandparents—familiar yet distant.

However, after breaking through several Reverse Golden Rains, the two Sorcerers quickly set aside the tedious emotions weighing on their minds.

For the grandeur before them now occupied all their thoughts.

It was a three-story building that stood out from the other ruins and wastelands of the Time Continent with its meticulous ebony double doors and interlocking white brick walls. Colorful stained glass windows shimmered enchantingly under the golden rain, making it impossible to glimpse the interior from outside. Monstrous stone sculptures sat atop the roof, overlooking any visitors from a commanding height.

Although it wasn’t a battle phase, Ashe and Deya felt even more tense than during actual combat.

It was as if they weren’t just exploring the Time Continent, but visiting an ancient seer.

The two exchanged glances, and Ashe, gathering his courage, pushed open the grand doors. The creaking and dragging sound echoed like ripples, awakening remnants long sealed by time.

It was a library.

What met their eyes was a peculiar maze of bookshelves—tall shelves served as walls, and the hanging lamps warmed the knowledge within.

The styles of the bookshelves varied greatly: there were shelves carved from rock, standard wooden shelves, and even fully transparent glass shelves that emitted a faint, technologically advanced glow from pure white shelves; they held not only bound books but also parchment rolls, scrolls, stone tablets, and even small devices resembling USB drives.

Both ancient and advanced—this was their first impression of the library.

“Where is this place?”

“Where is this place?”

Ashe and Deya both instinctively asked each other, then paused momentarily in surprise.

Both simultaneously realized a critical issue—among those who had received formal Sorcerer education, only the Swordswoman was truly knowledgeable!

Without the Swordswoman, they didn’t even know what this new, special building was!

Swordswoman!

Please come back!

The team can’t function without the Swordswoman, just like a child can’t function without a mother!
