Astral Apostle - Chapter 99

[Ninety-six want to learn, I teach you]

At night, the warm light of the brazier’s burning reflects on the outer wall of the Jinbao, and the slate-blue masonry presents an orange-red color.

Most of the people had rested, and the castle was silent, with the occasional screeching sound of the blades colliding when the guards patrolled.

In the Privy Councilor’s bedroom, Roman was reading at night with the lights on, flipping through the information.

“Duduu…” There

was a knock on the door.

Roman raised his eyes in confusion, confirming that he had not asked his confidants to report at night today, and immediately raised his guard.

“Who is it?”

As he spoke, he got up and threw the information into the fire, and activated the power of witchcraft, quietly completing the sympathy with the fire.

call!

The fire burst into flames, quickly burning the paper to ashes.

At this time, Bill’s indistinct voice came from outside the door: “Minister Roman, I’m Bill, I’m here to chat with you.”

Come back so late?

Roman was a little surprised and opened the door cautiously.

Outside the door, Bill stood crooked, his face flushed, his body smelled of alcohol, and he was holding a wine bottle. Two guards followed behind him.

“What’s wrong with you, why are you drinking so much alcohol?”

Roman was surprised, remembering that Bill didn’t seem to have a penchant for alcoholism.

“Hiccup, today… I’m happy!”

Zhou Jing staggered into the door, Roman was confused for a while, and welcomed him into the room.

The two guards also wanted to follow in, but Zhou Jing suddenly turned around and shouted loudly:

“I’m here to find friends for a drink, do you want to follow too? Could Minister Roman still do bad things to me? This is someone else’s room. It’s disrespectful for so many people to come in, so stay away from me!”

Mindless Harder and Unhappy Lake looked at each other, but had no choice but to walk out with the guards, not to bother with a drunk.

Although it is a surveillance in the name of protection, it should not be too disgusting to Bill, and the past few months have been peaceful, and the guards are no longer as tight as they were at the beginning.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about the safety of Master Bill, I also have guards here.”

Roman smiled at the two guards, and asked his men to guard the door of the house, so that the two guards would not get close to the door before closing the

door.

He and Bill were alone in the house.

“Master Bill, what’s the matter with you coming to see me so late?” Roman turned his head to look over with curiosity.

Zhou Jing swayed to find a seat, sat down, took a sip of wine, and said with a big tongue: “I’m happy today! I want to chat with you! Come, drink!”

Are you afraid that you are not drunk?

Roman slandered and felt that Zhou Jing was in a wrong state. He took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, touched Zhou Jing, and asked tentatively, “Then why are you so happy today?”

Zhou Jing put the bottle on the table for a meal. , pressed his thumb against his chest:

“Today, His Majesty the King gave me a marriage contract with the princess, and we will marry in two months! Don’t you think this should be happy?!”

Roman’s eyes narrowed, he still Didn’t receive the message, only heard it for the first time at this time.

To be married so soon… Can Becky wait?

It doesn’t take much time…

Many thoughts flashed through Roman’s mind, but his face remained calm. He raised his glass and smiled:

“It is indeed a pleasure to be able to marry the princess, congratulations.”

“Yeah, having this honor with The royal marriage, what can I do other than be happy?”

Zhou Jing took another sip, but his tone was a little lonely.

What does this mean… Roman’s heart moved.

“Princess Shu Ni is very beautiful, aren’t you satisfied?”

“I have to marry whoever the king asks me to marry. Does it matter whether I am beautiful or not?”

Zhou Jing spoke with a big tongue, his face full of drunkenness, and the content of what he said gradually became more sensitive.

Is this dissatisfaction with the king’s marriage?

Roman started reading comprehension subconsciously.

But why did he come to vent his emotions, not afraid of making small reports and telling the king these words?

Roman was secretly suspicious, but seeing Zhou Jing’s appearance of being drunk, and thinking about the result of his trial a few months ago, he felt that he could explain it.

——I’m afraid it’s not because Bill has been suppressed for too long. Now that he has been drinking, he finally unknowingly reveals his true feelings.

Noticing the slight change in Roman’s face, Zhou Jing kept his drunken appearance, and his heart was clear.

He deliberately drank a lot of wine before he came to find Roman, just to pretend that he was telling the truth after drinking.

Wine is a good disguise. If he wakes up sober, Roman will definitely have doubts, such as why he doesn’t ask others to “vent his emotions” and speak ill of the king, and whether he has been noticed by Bill.

And drunk people are emotional, even if they say some extreme remarks, even if Roman has some doubts, the degree will be reduced, and at the same time, he will be more confident and bold.

Bill is not a different blood warrior, but his initial physical fitness is higher than ordinary people, and his resistance to alcohol is not bad. He smells full of alcohol, but he is actually still sober.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you to drink tonight.”

Roman realized that this might be a good opportunity, so he simply sat down and chatted with Zhou Jing for a drink.

Zhou Jing poured himself tons and tons of alcohol, saying that he was happy, but there was no happiness on his face, a look of bitter wine hurting his throat.

The two chatted casually, mainly because Zhou Jing was talking, and Roman kept agreeing.

“Minister Roman, I only have you as a friend in the gold castle. It’s nice to have someone to talk to.”

Zhou Jing pretended to reveal his true feelings.

Roman smiled: “It’s my honor to be friends with Master Bill… But you know so many people in Jinbao, don’t others count as your friends?”

He was really curious, and he always felt Bill’s attitude towards him. They have always been different and overly enthusiastic. It seems that they didn’t make much effort to make friends, and the two have become friends.

Zhou Jing pretended to be excited and patted his chest: “Hey, what kind of friends are other people, they’re just worms who flatter me! I can feel that you are different from them!”

Hearing this, Roman couldn’t help but fall into deep reflection .

Where did I fail to do the right thing to make you think I wasn’t trying to curry favor with you?

I’m obviously trying to please you too, what’s the difference?

Without waiting for Roman’s response, Zhou Jing suddenly sighed and added:

“And I don’t know why, I feel friendly when I see you, maybe it’s because of the looks, I always think we are very similar.”

Roman couldn’t help but looked down and looked With his big belly, he looked at Bill, who looked like a little fat man.

Aside from the looks, everyone really looks alike…

Roman endured speechlessness, not intending to argue with a drunk man, and echoed: “When I first saw you, I actually felt kind, I was thinking, I It would be great to have a brother as capable as you. I am very happy to be friends with someone who has a bad temper like you.”

“Haha, chatting with you makes my heart open!”

Zhou Jing gave a thumbs up.

At this time, he suddenly sighed: “Unfortunately, when you are old and you are not a privy minister, we will never be able to meet again.”

“…Why do you say that?” Roman was surprised.

Zhou Jing’s drunken face showed resentment, as if he couldn’t control his emotions, he vomited bitterly:

“When you are old and you step down as a privy minister, you can’t live in the gold castle, and I can only stay in the gold castle for the rest of my life. Even if there is only an inner wall, we can’t see each other.

The royal family locked me in the castle, They asked me to marry them. In the end, they just wanted to deprive me of my freedom. I was not even allowed to go out of the city alone. Who knows if it will be more extreme in the future? If you insist on marrying a member of the royal family, who knows the wife I marry, Are you watching me like that group of guards? Don’t look at the king’s beautiful words, in fact I’m still an outsider!

What else do you say to let me inherit the family, but want to tie me here and take children as hostages. The king promises these benefits , I feel that I can buy out my freedom and make me willing to be ‘imprisoned’… Yes, I love money and fame, but I don’t want to be a tool all my life.

But now, even if I don’t want to, even if I regret it, I can only Like a puppet, obediently accepting their arrangements, being manipulated into any shape by them, even my own marriage can’t be the master! Maybe when I’m too old to walk, I can regain my freedom, but then, there are still others What’s the meaning?”

Zhou Jing spoke “heartedly” in a Bill’s tone, showing that he was actually very clear about his own situation.

Roman’s expression changed, and he shouted, “Bill, you’re drunk!”

Zhou Jing was suddenly stunned, and he was half awake from the wine, as if he had just woken up from a dream, only to realize that he had said something outrageous.

He deliberately panicked, hesitating:

“I’m just talking casually, don’t tell the king… I’m just an ordinary person, I can’t resist, I can make a tool as a tool, at least I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, anyway, after the marriage, I will accept my fate, This life is like this, there is no other hope.”

“Don’t worry, we are friends, I won’t tell others… But you must never say such things to the outside world!”

Roman stood up and warned solemnly.

Dude, it’s almost done, really treat yourself as a loyal minister… Zhou Jing rolled his eyes secretly.

In the past few months, Roman has been slow to act, showing his inner hesitation and worry about risks.

Zhou Jing said these words deliberately, in order to give Roman a clearer and firmer signal, so that people can really rest assured to fight for themselves, and urged Roman to start quickly.

Seeing Roman’s gloomy expression, Zhou Jing pouted secretly, but his face showed regret and helplessness for saying the wrong thing. He tried to get up, as if he had a guilty conscience:

”

Sorry for bothering you for so long, I should go.”

He patted his face and pretended to sober himself up, then moved his steps towards the door.

Roman looked at Zhou Jing’s back, and in his heart there was a war between heaven and man.

During this time, he has been asking people to examine Bill’s credibility, and there is no problem, basically ruling out the possibility that Bill is the king’s fishing pawn.

Now, Bill confided his heart in front of him again, expressing his resentment and inability to restrict the freedom of the royal family… The conditions for winning this person are fully met!

The only uncertainty was whether Bill was just talking about it, or whether he had the guts to change the situation and how much he was willing to pay for it.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through, just as Zhou Jing was about to touch the door knocker, Roman finally made up his mind and said:

“Master Bill, if you are really unwilling, I may be able to help you.”

Zhou Jing turned back, his face blank: ” What are you helping me?”

Roman said slowly, “Don’t be someone else’s tool, don’t be manipulated like a puppet, and regain your freedom.”

Zhou Jing deliberately froze, stunned on the spot.

At this time, Roman said in a low voice: “However, it depends on what you give up for your freedom and get rid of the control of the royal family. The wealth, power, and status you have now will disappear and turn into the royal family’s control over you. Hostility.”

“What, what are you talking about?” Zhou Jing pretended to be shocked.

“You have heard.” Roman put away his friendly smile and nodded calmly: “I have the ability to help you, but if you dare not accept such a price, you should just live your current life, it is more suitable for you.”

“What do I have to be afraid of, I want freedom more than everything the royal family promised, and I’d rather die if I don’t have freedom!”

Zhou Jing said decisively.

But he immediately expressed strong doubts to Roman, and threw a series of questions:

“But why should I believe you, you are a privy minister, with high authority, why should you destroy the royal family’s plan to help me? You are not afraid of being discovered by the king. Are you telling me this now, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the king? You believe me so?”

Roman laughed, and the more worried Zhou Jing became, the more he felt more at ease.

“I will help you, naturally I have my purpose. You only need to know that I am a privy minister in name, but I am not the same as the royal family.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing’s face changed, as if he had calmed down, and suddenly said:

“Since you are with the royal family.

The royal family is not going all the way, then you help me, just don’t want the royal family to master the master pharmacist like me, and the new blood pharmacy formula in my hand… So your needs are also my pharmacy.”

“I don’t deny this .

A little, but I do regard you as a friend. I understand what you are worrying about, I will not control your freedom like a royal family.” Roman nodded.

“Why should I trust you?” Zhou Jing frowned.

“I’m different from the king. He wants to hold everything in his hands, and I never want to control everything.” After

speaking, Roman suddenly laughed:

“Also, I am confident that you will not leave me.”

“Is it because you think that after I escape from the control of the royal family, I will have nowhere to stay and have no other choice but to stay by your side?” Zhou Jing responded coldly on purpose.

Roman chuckled: “No, I can provide you with something that the royal family doesn’t have to fulfill your dreams.”

“What dreams do I have?” Zhou Jing pretended to be puzzled.

Roman walked slowly to the fireplace, stroking the bricks and stones, and said slowly:

“Remember a few months ago, we talked about what wealth and power are. You said that power is the greatest power, but you dare not take the risk of gaining power in the way of alien blood warriors. The

royal family’s bid is indeed high, but They are all frivolous things, given to you by others, you can take them back at any time, and they never really belong to you. But I can give you something more valuable, something far more important than money and status, something that can control your own destiny , that is… risk-free power!” The

voice fell.

Huhu——

I saw the fire turned into three fire pythons, rising into the air, emitting amazing heat, and the temperature in the room skyrocketed in an instant.

The hot breath came.

Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat, he pretended to be surprised, he pressed against the wall tightly, and said in amazement, “What is this?!”

“In this world, there is not only a source of power for alien blood warriors, but what I have mastered. It

‘s called witchcraft!”

Roman smiled and raised his palm, and the three fire pythons shrank rapidly, turning into three well-behaved little fireballs, suspended in his palm.

Under the light of the fire, he looked at Bill and said slowly:

“If I want, in just a few breaths, I can kill the two guards of alien blood warriors who are watching you around you.

Witchcraft doesn’t have to be risky like alien blood warriors. Fate, Master Bill, this is what you dream of, you can exercise the strength you can get without risking your life!”

Roman waved his hand, and the fire fell into the fireplace, turning into a warm fire again.

After showing all this, he looked at Zhou Jing with bright eyes:

“If you want to learn, I’ll teach you!”

– This guy really is a wizard!

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

You hangman finally showdown!
