Astral Apostle

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, Zhou Jing seemed to be unable to contain his strong thirst for knowledge. Zhou Jing couldn't help but speak first:

"What's with this power called sorcery? Why haven't I 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 kind of power, only that he taught this power to three disciples and instructed the three of them to guard the witchcraft. the secrets of the technique, believing that this power is not suitable for mass dissemination.

So the three disciples decided to make a rule. 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.

Wizards generally hide in the folk, or live in isolation, and do not reveal their own witchcraft, so it is normal that you have not heard of it. And for the sake of safety, there is almost no contact between wizards, and they leave on their own after leaving the apprenticeship. Unless they meet by chance, they will not deliberately look for others. I only met other wizards once in my early years with my teacher, and never again. "

Zhou Jing was a little surprised that the history of witchcraft was so short, far inferior to that of alien beast hunters... I don't know whether this power system was born locally or brought about by alien lifeforms.

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?"

According to this inheritance rule, 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. Rather than teaching, most wizards would rather spend their time on themselves, and for some special reasons, accepting students is not good for wizards. In addition, wizards often appear in the wild, Sometimes encountering alien beasts that are difficult to deal with,

People also die, so there aren't too many wizards in existence. "

"What special reason?"

Zhou Jing pricked up his ears and spoke with curiosity.

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.

The spirit of nature is very rare, distributed in some strange areas, and the number is not unlimited. Once acquired by a wizard, it will disappear. The regeneration of the spirit of nature in an area is extremely slow, and may even never regenerate. So every time a new wizard is trained, there will be one less spirit of nature. This is the reason why the first wizard told his disciples not to spread witchcraft on a large scale, which later became the consensus of wizards. ":.

Zhou Jing blinked, but 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 as 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 a student. If you agree to my conditions, I will teach you witchcraft. You don't have to worry about the risk of acquiring the spirit of nature, I will help you."

Zhou Jing pretended to hesitate:

"But can I learn sorcery? Does this kind of power really require any talent?"

If Roman replied no, it meant that they didn't want to teach him at all, but just used witchcraft as bait to catch 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. Your special ability to analyze various herbs and potions is the embodiment of the alienation of this aspect of qualification, and you have the foundation to become a wizard. condition.

Secondly, a wizard needs a strong mental power... In words that you can understand, it means that you have strong energy, your mind is active for a long time, and you can work in the workshop without sleep, which proves that your mental power 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."

Only then did Roman show 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 rulers want 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 the 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 say 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, the smile on Roman's face disappeared: "You can think that I can't stand the so-called 'royal family'."

Seeing that people didn't want to go into details, Zhou Jing did not give up easily, and asked:

"But I don't know anything about your goals and your power. How can I trust you? 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 of the capital, the royal family has the final say."

I didn't hide this aspect, but I 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 from the main gate of Jinbao to the capital, right?"

Roman was amused and shook his head: "It's too laborious, there's no need to make such a big noise. I have a few ideas, you can listen to them."

"you say."

"Don't look at the strong defense of the golden castle. In fact, there are my people everywhere, and there are some secret passages. It is not difficult to send you out of the golden castle. Guards, try not to have a head-on conflict with them."

Zhou Jing agreed. The mindless and unhappy team kept monitoring, and it was difficult for him to carry out any action. Now both teams of guards are still waiting outside, and they can be seen when they go out.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, 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 an eye on you as usual, because it will be difficult to live in the scene, like a prisoner, So you get the opportunity to move freely.

You seem to get the most attention at the wedding banquet, but in fact others are the least defensive about you. The king thinks that you are about to marry a member of the royal family. Take the opportunity to take you away. "

Zhou Jing is noncommittal:

"Try not to delay until the wedding reception... 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 tell.”

"Then it's the same as saying it without saying it, is there anything else?"

"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 assassinate the king. , In short, cause confusion, try to divert the guards... Of course, they may also be more vigilant to protect you."

Zhou Jing supported 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 that I was kidnapped."

"Ha ha."

Roman didn't want to fight.

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

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Roman snorted, suddenly leaned forward, and said sternly: "We are all the same 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 also turned his face 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 yes.

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 potion to enhance his royal power, Cultivate a larger army. Tell each tribe that it will become more and more difficult for them to become independent in the future, so they can't wait any longer. The longer it takes, the bigger the gap in strength.

As long as we get the new formula of alien blood pharmacy, or a master pharmacist like Bill, we will act immediately! "

"Understood!" Several confidants solemnly agreed.

Roman lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Also, let our eyeliner pay attention to Master Bill's behavior these days, and tell me all the information."

He couldn't completely trust Bill, and he still had to send someone to monitor him, for fear that Bill would sell him and hug 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. Bringing you the fastest Astral Apostle update, 097 Showdown and Co-op free reading. :.
