Astral Apostle Chapter 96: Want to learn, I will teach you

At night, the warm light of the brazier's burning reflects on the outer wall of the Golden Castle, and the slate blue masonry presents a orange-red color.

Most of the people have rested, and the castle is silent, with the occasional sound of the scraping of the blades of the guards patrolling.

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

"Duh duh..."

There was a knock on the door.

Roman raised his eyes suspiciously, confirming that he didn't ask his confidants to report at night today, and immediately raised his vigilance.

"Who is it?"

While speaking, he stood up and threw the information into the fire, and activated the power of witchcraft, quietly completing the sympathy with the fire.

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

At this moment, Bill's indistinct voice came from outside the door: "Minister Roman, I'm Bill, I'm here to chat with you."

Here you come so late? Roman was a little surprised and opened the door cautiously.

Bill stood crooked outside the door, his face flushed, his body smelled of alcohol, and a wine bottle was in his hand, and two guards followed behind him.

"What's the matter with you, why are you drinking so much?"

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

"Hiccup, today... 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 my friends for a drink. Do you want to follow me too? Could the Minister Roman do bad things to me? This is someone else's room. It's disrespectful for so many of you to come in, so stay away from me. !”

Mindless Harder and Unhappy Lake looked at each other, but had no choice but to withdraw 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 fine, you don't have to worry about Master Bill's safety, I have guards here too."

Roman smiled at the two guards, and asked his subordinates to guard the door of the house, preventing the two guards from approaching the door, and then closed 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 to look at him, his voice curious.

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

Aren't you dazed?

Roman slandered and felt that Zhou Jing was in a wrong state, so 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 and pressed his chest against his chest with his thumb:

"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 hadn't received the news yet, and it was the first time he heard it.

To be married so soon...Can't Becky wait?

This is not much time...

Many thoughts flashed through Roman's mind, but his face was calm, he raised his glass and smiled:

"It is indeed a pleasure to be able to marry the princess, congratulations to you."

"Yes, I have this honor to marry the royal family, what else 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 skips a beat.

"Princess Shuni is 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.

This is dissatisfaction with the king's marriage?

Roman starts reading comprehension subconsciously.

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

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

——I'm afraid it wasn't because Bill had been suppressed for too long, and now that he drank alcohol, he finally unknowingly revealed his true feelings.

Noticing that Roman's complexion changed slightly, Zhou Jing maintained a drunken appearance, and his heart was clear.

He deliberately drank a lot of alcohol before he came to find Roman, just to pretend to tell the truth after drinking.

Wine is a good disguise. If he wakes up, 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 doubts, the degree will be reduced, and at the same time, they will be more confident and bold.

Bill is not a 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 drink with you tonight."

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

Zhou Jing poured himself tons and tons of alcohol. He said that he was happy, but there was no happiness on his face.

The two were chatting casually, mainly Zhou Jing was talking, and Roman kept echoing.

"Minister Roman, I only have you as a friend in the Golden Castle. It's nice to have someone to talk to."

Zhou Jing pretended to reveal his true feelings.

Roman smiled: "It's also my honor to be friends with Master Bill... But you know so many people in the Golden Castle, don't others count as your friends?"

He was really curious and always felt that Bill's attitude towards him had always been different and overzealous, as if they didn't make much effort to make friends, and the two had 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.

What exactly did I fail to do that made you think I wasn't trying to curry favor with you?

I'm also trying to please you, what's the difference?

Waiting for Roman's response, Zhou Jing suddenly sighed and added:

"And I don't know why, but when I saw you, I felt kind. Maybe it was because of the looks. I always thought we were very similar."

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

Apart from the looks, everyone really looks alike...

Roman endured speechlessness and did not intend to argue with a drunken man, he echoed: "When I first saw you, I actually felt kind, I was thinking, if I have a brother as capable as you That's good. I'm very happy to be friends with someone who has a bad temper like you."

"Haha, chatting with you, my heart is open!"

Zhou Jing gave a thumbs up.

At this time, he suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, when you are old and no longer 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, and 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 it is only separated by an inner wall, we can't see each other.

The royal family locked me in the castle and made me marry them. In the end, they just wanted to deprive me of my freedom. I was not even allowed to leave the city alone. Who knows if it will be more extreme in the future? If you want me to marry a member of the royal family, who knows if the wife I marry is watching me like that group of guards? No matter how beautiful the king said, in fact I am still an outsider!

Anything else to let me inherit the family, but I want to tie me up here and take the children as hostages. The king promised these benefits and felt that he could 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 be like a puppet, obediently accepting their arrangements, and being manipulated into any shape by them, even my own marriage can't be in charge! Maybe when I'm too old to walk, I can regain my freedom, but then, what's the point? "

Zhou Jing, in a Bill's tone, uttered "heart words" all at once, showing that he is actually very clear about his own situation.

Roman's face changed and he shouted: "Bill, you are drunk!"

Zhou Jing was instantly stunned, and he was half awake from the wine.

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'll be a tool when I make a tool, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, anyway, after the marriage, I will accept my fate, this is how my life will be. , there is no other hope."

"Don't worry, we're friends, I won't tell anyone... but you must never say such things to the outside world!"

Romain stood up, a serious warning.

Dude, it's almost done, I really think I'm a loyal minister... Zhou Jing rolled his eyes secretly.

In the past few months, Roman has been slow to act, which shows the indecision and worry about the risks.

Zhou Jing deliberately said these words 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 act quickly.

Seeing Roman's gloomy face, Zhou Jing secretly pouted, but his face showed regret and helplessness for saying the wrong thing, trying to get up, as if he was guilty:

"Sorry to bother you for so long, I should go."

Speaking, 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 his heart was at war between heaven and man.

During this time, he has been asking people to check 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 completely met!

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

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

"Master Bill, if you're really unwilling, I might be able to help you."

Zhou Jing turned around, looking blank: "What are you helping me with?"

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 you get rid of the control of the royal family. The wealth, power, and status you have now will disappear and turn into a royal family. hostility towards you."

"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 obediently, it is more suitable you."

"What do I have to be afraid of, I want freedom more than everything the royal family promises, and I'd rather die!"

Zhou Jing's tone is decisive.

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

"But why should I believe you, you are a privy minister, with a high position, why would you destroy the royal family's plan to help me? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the king? You tell me this now, don't be afraid that I will tell the king ? You believe me so?"

Roman laughed. The more worried Zhou Jing was, the more relieved he was.

"I help you, naturally I have my purpose. You just 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 not on the same path as the royal family, then you help me because you don't want the royal family to master a master pharmacist like me and the new-style alien blood potion formula in my hand... So your needs are also my potion. ."

"I don't deny this, but I do consider you a friend. I understand what you're thinking about, I won't control your freedom like royalty." Roman nodded.

"Why should I trust you?" Zhou Jing frowned.

"I'm not like a king who wants to have everything in his hands, and I never want to control everything."

Speaking, Roman suddenly laughed:

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

"Because you think that after I escape from the control of the royal family, I will have nowhere to stay, and I 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 does not have, and fulfill your dreams."

"What dream 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, when we talked about wealth and power, 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 bids are indeed very high, but they are all vain foreign objects. They are given to you by others and can be taken back at any time. They never really belong to you. And I can give you something more valuable, something far more important than money and status, something that can control your own destiny, and that is... risk-free power! "

The voice falls.

Whoosh——

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.

Scorching breath hits my face.

Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat, pretending to be astonished, clinging to the wall and saying in surprise, "What is this?!"

"In this world, there is more than one source of power for alien blood warriors~IndoMTL.com~ What I master... is called sorcery!"

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

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

"If I want, in a few breaths, I can kill the two blood warrior guards who are watching you.

Witchcraft doesn't have to risk your life like a blood warrior, Master Bill, this is what you dream of, you can exercise your power without risking your life! "

With a wave of Roman's hand, the ball of fire fell into the fireplace and turned into a warm fire again.

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

"If you want to learn, I will teach you!"

—This guy really is a wizard!

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

It's finally a showdown, you hangman!
