Astral Apostle - Chapter 101

[Ninety-seven showdowns and cooperation]

After a friendly talent show, the two took their seats again.

Roman put his hands on his knees, and the rings on his hands looked jewel-like under the light of the fire.

Zhou Jing seemed to have sobered up, grasped the character’s mentality, and showed the cramped feeling that he thought his friend was an ordinary person but didn’t expect to be a hidden master, and now he was only the first time he knew his true face.

After being restrained for a while, as if he could not contain his strong thirst for knowledge, Zhou Jing couldn’t help but speak first:

“What is this power called witchcraft? Why have you never heard of it?”

Hearing this, Roman explained slowly. :

“The history of witchcraft is not long. It appeared at the end of the tribal era. No one knows how the first wizard in the world discovered this power, only that he taught this power to three disciples and instructed them to keep it The secret of witchcraft, thinking that this kind of power is not suitable for large-scale dissemination.

So the three disciples decided to make a rule that in the future, a wizard can only accept three students at most, and secretly inherit this mysterious power… So far, it is the sixth generation. Now

.

Wizards generally hide in the people, or live in isolation, and do not reveal their own witchcraft, so it is normal that you have never heard of it. Moreover, for safety, wizards rarely communicate with each other, and leave on their own after leaving the teacher, unless they meet by chance. Otherwise, I will not deliberately seek others. I only met other wizards with my teacher once in the early years, and I have never seen anyone since.”

Zhou Jing was a little surprised, the history of witchcraft is so short, far inferior to the alien hunter… …I don’t know whether this power system was born locally or brought about by an alien life form.

Lynn is a wild man. Luckily, he picked up an introductory guide book on witchcraft. He doesn’t know the origin and current situation of wizards. Now that an expert like Roman opens his mouth, he can know more information.

According to Roman, wizards generally live alone and do not communicate with each other. In other words, they have no organization at all. They are more scattered than a plate of loose sand, scattered among the people.

Zhou Jing thought about it and pretended to be surprised: “So are there many wizards in the world?”

If you follow this inheritance rule and calculate with a multiplier of 3x, it seems that the sixth generation can have more than 200 wizards.

Roman shook his head: “Not everyone is willing to accept students. Most wizards prefer to spend their time on themselves rather than teaching, and for some special reasons, accepting students is not good for wizards. In addition, wizards often appear in the wild, Sometimes people will die when encountering alien beasts that are difficult to deal with

, so there are not too many wizards in existence.”

“What’s the special reason?”

Zhou Jing pricked up his ears and said curiously.

Roman pondered for a while, then explained: “Okay, let me tell you first… Practicing sorcery, although it is not as dangerous as a blood potion, must be found in the wild, looking for a special existence called the spirit of nature. , the power of witchcraft mainly comes from it.

And the spirit of nature is very rare, distributed in some strange areas, the number is not unlimited, once acquired by the wizard, it will disappear, the regeneration of the spirit of nature in an area is extremely slow, and may even be permanent. No rebirth. So every time a new wizard is trained, there will be one less spirit of nature, which is why the first wizard told his disciples not to spread witchcraft on a large scale, and it became the consensus of wizards later.”:.

Zhou Jing blinked, This matched the information he got from Lynn.

The spirit of nature is limited. To become a wizard, one must at least integrate one spirit of nature. In order to become stronger, more must be integrated. Therefore, cultivating students is equivalent to cultivating competitors.

I felt that only wizards who no longer needed the spirit of nature to become stronger would have the leisure to accept students.

“What kind of power is witchcraft?”

Zhou Jing acted like a curious baby.

Roman was not stingy, and explained it a little bit, which is similar to Lynn’s wizard’s instruction manual, but more detailed.

At this time, he changed the subject and said, “Master Bill, have you considered it, are you willing to accept my conditions?”

Zhou Jing thought for a while: “If a wizard can only teach three people in his life, can I learn it?”

Roman nodded: “I have never accepted students, you agree to my conditions, I will teach you witchcraft, you don’t have to worry I will help you with the risk of acquiring the spirit of nature.”

Zhou Jing pretended hesitantly: “But can I learn

witchcraft

? This kind of power really doesn’t require any talent?”

He just used witchcraft as bait and hooked him.

However, Roman shook his head: “Witchcraft cannot be practiced by anyone, it requires talent, but you have no problem.”

“How do you see this?” Zhou Jing wondered.

Roman looked at Zhou Jing up and down, and said slowly:

“Wizards have a simple method to judge whether a person can practice witchcraft. The first is the perception of nature, and your special ability to analyze various herbs and potions is this aspect. The manifestation of the alienation of aptitude has the basic conditions to become a wizard.

Secondly, a wizard needs a strong mental strength… In words that you can understand, it means that you are energetic, your mind is active for a long time, and you can work in the workshop without sleep and rest. Mental strength is stronger than ordinary people.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing’s expression became slightly strange.

So people who can stay up late and burst their livers have the potential to become wizards?

The standard is not only grounded, but also grounded.

[Item analysis function] has always been considered to be his special talent, while in the workshop, he relies on the placement mechanism of the apostles… These two make Roman misunderstood his aptitude. It is estimated that in Roman’s eyes, he is still witchcraft genius of the world.

No wonder this coercion is not worried about the embarrassing situation of using witchcraft to win him over, but he can’t learn it. It turned out that through these two misunderstandings, it was directly determined that he was qualified for witchcraft.

Zhou Jing seemed to be in a tangle, and after more than ten seconds, he gritted his teeth: “Okay, then I agree to your conditions, if you can let me learn sorcery and have a reliable plan for me to regain my freedom, I will be Yours.”

Roman showed a satisfied smile: “Trust me, compared to the power of witchcraft, everything the royal family promises is worthless… You don’t have to worry about me restricting your freedom like the royal family, Only the ruler wants to control everything, I don’t need you to work for me forever, we are more like a cooperative relationship. You provide the craftsmanship of the potion, and I give you strength.”

Zhou Jing did not respond.

There is not a high degree of trust between the two, and mutual understanding is limited. I am worried that Roman will turn over after getting out of trouble, and Roman is also worried that Bill will sell it after the showdown.

But if you don’t show hard stuff like witchcraft, it’s hard to convince Bill with empty words, and there’s no reason to lure people into it.

Having said so much information, Bill is already on the pirate ship. If he backs down, Roman won’t allow it, but he just didn’t say the threat.

Even in the cooperation of getting what they need, at the beginning, they will take risks, worry about this and worry about that.

If one party can completely avoid risks, it can only prove that the other party is 80% passive and disadvantaged in the cooperation… Under the current situation, neither of them can obtain a 100% guarantee, and they can only admit that there is an element of gambling.

At this time, Zhou Jing asked what he had always been curious about:

“You said you are a powerful wizard, but why do you want to be a court minister and fight against the royal family? What are your goals and plans?”

Hearing this, Roman The smile on his face faded: “Just think that I don’t like the so-called ‘royal family’.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to go into details, Zhou Jing didn’t give up easily, and asked,

“But I don’t know anything about your goal. , I don’t know anything about your power, how can I trust you with confidence? At least you have to tell me which side you represent.”

Roman thought for a while and said casually: “The Terra Empire has never belonged to the Tarn royal family, but to all the tribes… I represent the interests of each tribe and have a legitimate position, so you don’t have to worry about the hostility of the royal family. , outside the capital, the royal family has the final say.”

He didn’t hide this aspect, but he still didn’t say the target, but this person probably won’t reveal it… Zhou Jing secretly said.

He changed the subject and asked, “Then how are you going to take me out of Jinbao? You won’t take me all the way to the capital from the main gate of Jinbao, right?”

Roman was amused and shook his head: “It’s too laborious, there’s no need There is such a big movement. I have a few ideas, you can listen to them.”

“You said.”

“Don’t look at the strong defense of Jinbao, in fact, my people are everywhere, and there are some secret channels to send you out of Jinbao. Fort is not difficult, what is difficult is not to be discovered, the most troublesome is to avoid the two guards who are following and monitoring you, and try not to have a head-on conflict with them.”

Zhou Jing agreed, the mindless and unhappy team kept monitoring, only It would be difficult for him to carry out any action, and now both teams of guards are still waiting outside, and you can see them when you go out.

“Then what are you going to do?”

Hearing that, Roman clenched his radish-like fingers and whispered,

“The first way is to slip away at the wedding banquet. Two months later, you will marry the princess, and the king will hold a palace wedding banquet. At that time, the guards will not keep watch on you as usual, because it is difficult to live in the scene, like a prisoner, so you can have the opportunity to move freely.

You seem to be the most concerned at the wedding banquet, but in fact others are the least defensive against you Yes, the king thinks that you are about to marry a member of the royal family, and others don’t think you will leave your wedding… It’s the time to act, and my people just took the opportunity to take you away.”

Zhou Jing was noncommittal:

“Try not to delay the wedding… Is there any other way?”

Roman touched his chin and pondered: “The second is a stupid way, find an opportunity to get rid of the guard’s surveillance within two months, and let my subordinates take you out of the golden castle through the secret way, but the chance is not big, your two The guards are not weak, and they work day and night, so there is generally no gap. Even if I ask my subordinates to switch packages with you and pretend to be you, the alien blood warrior’s sense of smell can immediately distinguish it.

” ”

The third method is to take advantage of the chaos. If you can convince the king to let you go, I can arrange for someone to intercept you and take you away. If you can only stay in the golden castle, you can set fire to the city or Assassinating the king, in short, will cause chaos, try to divert the guards… Of course, they may also be more vigilant to protect you.”

Zhou Jing held his forehead.

After listening in a circle, the most reliable one turned out to be escaping marriage.

What kind of drama is this?

“Why don’t you take me all the way out, even if I fail, I can still justify being kidnapped.”

“Haha.”

Roman didn’t want to argue.

He paused and suggested: “There are still two months, you can consider what method to use, I will do some preparations first.”

“Okay, I will go back and think about it.”

Zhou Jing nodded.

Roman hummed, suddenly leaned forward, and said sternly, “We’re on the same road now, don’t leak the news about what we said tonight.”

“Don’t worry, I understand, don’t doubt my determination to regain my freedom.”

Zhou Jing He also put his face down and pretended to be serious.

The two discussed the details for a while and completely determined the intention of cooperation, and then ended the meeting.

Zhou Jing opened the door, and, surrounded by the guards, he disappeared into the darkness.

Roman watched his back disappear, and only then did he summon a few confidants and closed the door to instruct him.

“Enable everyone in the golden castle, all stand by, ready to receive orders at any time.”

Several confidants nodded in agreement.

Roman tapped the table, pondered for a while, and said: “Also, go to contact the various tribes, and inform them that the plan can begin. The king has faintly sensed the threat of the tribe, so he used a new type of medicine to strengthen the royal power, Cultivate a larger army. Tell the tribes that it will be more and more difficult for them to become independent in the future, so they can’t wait any longer. The longer the delay, the bigger the gap in strength.

As long as we get the new formula of alien blood potion, or a potion master like Bill , I’ll make trouble right away!”

“Understood!” Several confidants solemnly agreed.

Roman lowered his voice and said solemnly: “Also, let our eyes be on Master Bill’s behavior these days, and tell me all the information.”

He couldn’t completely trust Bill, so he still had to send someone to monitor him, for fear that Bill would be sold. He, hugged the royal family’s thighs again.

The confidants took orders one after another and filed out, leaving only Roman alone in the room.

Roman sat behind the desk, kneading his temples, his eyes changed.

After preparing for so long, it’s finally time to start… I didn’t expect a pharmacist to detonate this change.
