Chapter 538: Chapter 274: Mystic Scholar
"Never respond to the strange fluctuations of starlight;
never attempt to understand the ’ravings’ that suddenly flood your mind.
These are signs of high-dinsional beings attempting to establish contact with lower-dinsional consciousness. Once you respond, you will be forever lost in that endless sea of stars."
As Ron continued reading, fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, yet his eyes remained focused, not missing any detail.
Although this knowledge is dangerous, it is filled with profound insight into the essence of the universe. Every page reveals a grander, more peculiar ’truth’.
"Can you feel it? That subtle pressure?"
Eve asked softly, her athyst eyes glinting with concern:
"This is the ’weight’ of knowledge. For many advanced mystical knowledge, this pressure is a constant companion. As one delves deeper into learning, the pressure grows until it becos a constant background noise."
Ron gently closed the booklet, taking a deep breath to calm his heartbeat:
"Indeed. This feeling... it’s much like the experience of reading so abyss-related classics, but also different. Those abyssal texts bring an oppression from exotic realms, whereas this booklet seems like a whisper from the river of ti itself."
"They are fundantally similar," Eve explained:
"Abyssal research confronts spatial dinsional distortion, whereas astrology and history are explorations of the ti dinsion. Space and ti are but two sides of the sa coin."
She retrieved a second booklet from the box.
This one was heavier, and its cover was a peculiar leather that seed to wriggle slightly under the light, like the skin of so living creature.
"This is the core introduction to historical studies."
Eve placed the booklet carefully on the table, her voice becoming more cautious:
"History is not just a simple record of past events, but an active consciousness within the river of ti.
The significant events recorded, especially those key monts that change the course of history, leave ripples in the river of ti, forming so-called ’historical nodes.’
She opened the booklet to show Ron the diagrams and texts within:
"A historian’s true skill lies in directly contacting these ’nodes’ through special ditation to obtain pure and unfaltering historical information.
However, this act itself is an interference with order, and if done improperly, it can easily attract the attention of the Ti Hounds."
"Ti Hounds?"
Ron keenly caught the unfamiliar term.
A difficult-to-describe expression appeared on Eve’s face, between fear and vigilance:
"They are chaotic beings existing outside of ti, responsible for maintaining the stable flow of the river of ti.
They belong neither to the past nor to the future, but are a certain personification of ti itself.
When soone attempts to excessively interfere with the river of ti, especially trying to change those key nodes, the Ti Hounds will appear to erase the source of disturbance."
"Sounds incredibly dangerous,"
Ron comnted, yet his eyes sparkled with the light of knowledge-seeking.
"Indeed it is,"
Eve nodded solemnly:
"But it is this danger that makes history an extrely unique and powerful skill.
True historians are not only studying the past but conversing with ti itself.
Through this dialogue, they can acquire wisdom and foresight beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even summon certain historical projections."
In the next few hours, Eve taught Ron the basic skills of historical sensing and astrological observation in detail.
Although it was only entry-level knowledge, Ron could already feel the profundity and wonder of these two disciplines.
With each new piece of knowledge mastered, his thinking seed to expand, able to perceive subtle energy fluctuations previously undetectable.
At the sa ti, he also felt an invisible weight.
As if soone had placed a heavy stone in his thoughts, making his thinking deeper and more profound.

These prompts appeared in Ron’s mind, causing a slight stir in his heart.
These two new wizardry skills are dangerous, but their potential is obviously considerable.
Especially since their professional ratings both reached three stars, equivalent to his current highest-level profession.
"Thank you for your instruction,"
After hours of intensive learning, Ron expressed gratitude to Eve:
"This knowledge represents a whole new field for . I’ll study cautiously to ensure I don’t draw the attention of those high-dinsional beings."
A gratified smile appeared on Eve’s face:
"Your ability to understand is truly remarkable. The first ti I encountered this knowledge, it took
more than twice the ti to master these basic techniques."
She casually picked up a glass of water from the table, sipped it lightly, then continued:
"History and astrology are complentary disciplines. One explores the past, the other gazes at the starry sky. When combined, they often create even more astonishing sparks."
