Lu Yuan looked at the cover of the book, which was about the size of a human head. It read "Northern Observation Methods and Distribution of Stars" provided by the Astrological Society.

The long list of names almost made Lu Yuan think he was back in his university days writing his thesis.

Lu Yuan raised his head and said to Eli, "I just received the badge, so I'm here to register it."

Lu Yuan glanced at the thick book: "Where did you get this book? There aren't any books about stars or celestial phenomena in the library, not a single one."

"This is a task assigned to me by the Grand Knight Commander of Astronomy." Eli pushed the book towards Lu Yuan.

"Let me understand the stars and galaxies. This is a book that the Grand Knight of Astrology treasured especially for him."

"May I take a look?" Lu Yuan asked, intrigued by the thick book in front of him.

"See?" Eli nodded.

"Although the book belongs to the Grand Knight of Astronomy, according to him, it's not a rare book. Why don't you take a look?"

Hearing Eli say that, Lu Yuan didn't hold back.

He moved the thick book in front of him. Besides the long list of names on the cover, the book's cover featured constellations drawn in various colors.

They are distributed in spherical or rhomboid shapes, composed of various colors interwoven with red, much like the appearance of various galaxies in Lu Yuan's knowledge, but with some slight differences.

Opening the outer cover made of parchment and cardboard, the first page contains an introduction to the book.

This book, compiled by the Northern Branch of the Astronomical Society, is based on decades of observations recorded by the Star Observatory. It represents the testing and research conducted to ensure that the results of star observations from different regions of the Empire were consistent.

Then came the words of a president of an astrology society:

"The place we inhabit is already so vast. There are still places unexplored by humankind, where the most evil creatures are born. And in the sky, there are endless stars. They hang high in the heavens, twinkling with mesmerizing light. They seem to hold countless possibilities."

"For this reason, those who are obsessed with the stars have conducted research for thousands of years, and have opened up a new path of astrology in the field of knowledge. We use the stars as our guide and the twinkling of starlight as our mark, in an attempt to find a way out for the future, or perhaps to take our bodies a step further by relying on the radiance of the stars."

"This book contains some records of observations of the stars in the North. Note that this book does not provide detailed explanations of specific star systems, but only offers preliminary insights to prevent newcomers to the path of astrological knowledge from going astray. May you find peace of mind among the stars."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the opening introduction. He hadn't expected that there would be such people in this era, and that they seemed to have been observing for over a thousand years.

Clearly, the technology in this world has been enhanced in a terrifyingly bizarre way.

Its dark background is densely dotted with hundreds and thousands of stars, which are connected by thin lines to form concentric orbits.

Next to it are labels in small print and numbers. Looking further, you'll find explanations for these labels, listing the names of the stars and the patterns of their movements.

Lu Yuan scanned the vast star map and suddenly paused, because he didn't know if the blue Earth where he had been before was among the countless stars.

I only regret that I lack this knowledge, and I can't even find a reference point.

"Sigh," Lu Yuan sighed softly.

At that very moment, something seemed to be activated in Lu Yuan's body, and the next instant, the gray and white characters in front of him jumped out wildly.

Congratulations on acquiring the new passive skill: The Stargazer (1/?)

The heretics, summoned by the stars, seem to have sensed something different. Chase after the boundless starry sky; perhaps you will find what you seek there.

Lu Yuan looked somewhat dazed at this sudden passive situation.

Just then, in a place unseen by Lu Yuan, in that vast, dark depths, in that almost boundless dark place, faint colored light began to appear, as if something was beginning to awaken.

Sigh, I can't understand it myself.

Although a new notification popped up, reminding Lu Yuan of how he came to this world, what was the use?

I can't understand what's happening in front of me at all, and that thing is a passive skill.

If I have the chance, I'll see if I can join the astrology club.

Lu Yuan silently pushed the book back.

"Have you been spending all these past few days here?" Lu Yuan asked, looking at Eli.

Eli put the book away and placed it back in front of him: "I need to understand astrology first so that the Grand Knight of Astronomy can teach me better later. Of course, I also have other tasks, sigh, they're quite tedious."

"Okay, as long as you enjoy it," Lu Yuan said.

Lu Yuan lowered his voice slightly after saying this, and after making sure no one else was around, he continued to ask:

"By the way, do you know what's been happening in Watchtower City lately? It seems a few knights from the academy have been transferred, and I heard that even we freshmen will be involved."

Eli was taken aback.

What? How come I didn't know?

He immediately realized something: "Okay, I'll go back and ask the Grand Knight of Astronomy today. Come to the library again tomorrow and I'll tell you."

"Thanks." Lu Yuan nodded.

Eli's expression was also somewhat solemn, because he was also a member of the Night's Watch, and he knew very well that there were quite a few Night's Watch members stationed in Watchtown.

The fact that they now need to seek help from the outside world clearly indicates that something unpleasant has happened.

As Lu Yuan was his colleague, it was only natural that they should help each other.

Eli realized that since he was a student of the Grand Knight Commander of Astrology, anything that happened at the Knight Academy would most likely not affect him.

But Lu Yuan is different.

Lu Yuan also got up to say goodbye to Eli, preparing to leave first.

The main purpose of this visit to the library was to confirm the quantity and orientation of the books. I will come back later to look at them at my leisure when I have more time.

Well, it's getting late, I should go back and rest. I have other classes tomorrow.

I plan to finish auditing the other courses in the next couple of days to see if there are any I want.

And the same goes for that ancient music theory teacher; quickly find that teacher and see if you can get some help.

As soon as Lu Yuan left the library, Eli's turning of the pages in the hall gradually stopped.

He recalled the words the Grand Knight Commander had spoken to him privately: Lu Yuan seemed to carry some secret and hope, and the Grand Knight Commander had told him to spend more time with Lu Yuan.
