Astral Apostle Chapter 110: Changes and surprises
Due to external pressure, the administrative efficiency of the empire has greatly increased. It didn't take long for the formation of the Royal Demon Hunting Army to be put on the agenda. Nearly 200 hunters who were willing to listen to the royal family's command were selected among the imperial hunters and incorporated into the Demon Hunting Army. military.
Creber takes over as the head of the Royal Demon Hunters, while Jason takes over as the new commander of the Imperial Hunters.
Imperial Hunters have no objection to such a personnel change.
After frequent wrestling with Kreber these days, Jason has already proven his combat effectiveness. According to rumors, he has become one of the strongest hunters, and is also known as the three warriors of the empire along with Kreber and Irene.
Although his qualifications are not deep, the hunters respect the strong. Jason is the leader of the legendary hunters, and he is also trusted by the royal family, so the succession is a matter of course, and the imperial hunters are not satisfied.
Because Jason was taciturn in the idle state, and his subjective initiative was not high, Zhou Jing routinely checked the recorded images during the preparatory phase of a shuttle, and found that Jason was in the upper position, so he switched the shuttle object and took Jason to handle affairs in person.
He made some arrangements, and promoted several hunters to be their deputy and staff officers to assist in handling the affairs of the imperial hunters, and personally reported to King Becky, taking this opportunity to observe the changes in the court.
Zhou Jing found out that Becky's complexion was not good, and the morale of the court was low. Obviously, they were all overwhelmed by Bill's running away and the independence of the tribe...
Becky didn't have the energy to say more, and after a random order, he let him go.
Zhou Jing swaggered out of the golden castle, and the guards saluted.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing felt a little emotional.
"According to the meaning of the royal family, I will take over as the commander of the Empire Hunter after Kreber has trained me for a few years, but the current turmoil has led to Jason's rapid rise. This is a chain reaction. Jason."
This was a surprise and was not planned.
But let the astral apostles enter different industries or factions, make their own influence, and thus bring benefits to each other, this is his long-standing idea, and this time it happened to be effective.
He opened the panel and glanced at it. After taking office, he had a new achievement.
[Trigger the achievement [Empire Hunter Commander]! ]
[Get 2000 Astral Points! 20 Information State Particles! [Attribute Improvement-Physical Fitness (Small)]! ]
"Although Jason is already an eternal apostle, there is no need to meet customs clearance requirements, but it is also a good thing to earn some information particles to fill the inventory."
Zhou Jing was secretly happy.
Although he has become the commander of the Imperial Hunter, he has not yet been named the Chief Hunter of the Empire, and one of Jason's new life goals has not yet been achieved.
But as Crabbe gets older, the title will eventually fall to him...as long as the empire exists.
Imperial hunter commander, with a big reputation, has a huge force under his hand, and can be regarded as a powerful and high-ranking position.
But Zhou Jing also understands that, in fact, this power is not so amazing, because hunters have always been difficult to control, and having a position does not mean that you can order imperial hunters to do anything.
After all, power comes from obedience. Generally, I can only command imperial hunters within the scope of the hunter's authority, and it is difficult to order hunters with instructions beyond their authority and against their will.
Fortunately, Zhou Jing has no intention of making trouble for the time being, and does not intend to seek personal gain. It is enough to do the commander's duties step by step.
Jason served in the empire, not only as a spy, but also for the empire, and did not need to deliberately help Roman or the tribal faction.
Although Bill and Roman are relatively close at present, Zhou Jing is not going to stand on either side.
I am a bet on both sides, and the empire and the tribe will fight if they love each other. Anyway, my two astral apostles are in positions of power in both camps. Although they are not the leaders who make decisions, they also have a certain amount of power.
So whoever wins or loses from the two camps will not lose any money. At present, it is best to fish in troubled waters, and the main goal is to earn some information-state particles.
This wave is called risk hedging!
As for the longer-term plan, Zhou Jing hasn't figured it out yet, and the main thing is to make some profits for now.
"Speaking of which, the current situation has undergone such a big change, but there is still no sign of the whereabouts of alien lifeforms. Shouldn't this group of people disappear?"
Zhou Jing thought of this, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
On the way to his troubles, he has been paying attention to whether there are people suspected of alien lifeforms appearing, but after so many times of shuttle cycles, he has never found any clues.
He had to guess whether the alien lifeform left this world by some means unknown to him.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Jing suddenly heard someone calling the name "Jess" behind him.
Looking back, I found that it was Irene, with Princess Shu Ni by her side.
"Irene Chief Guard, what can I do for you?"
Zhou Jing asked, and at the same time glanced curiously at Shu Ni who was smiling politely next to her.
Irene stepped forward and handed out a knife: "This is a miraculous weapon, the name of the knife is 'Thunder', it can cut out lightning, just right for you."
Zhou Jing did not reach out to take it, and said in surprise:
"I already have a fire, why give me another knife."
"You're used to using two knives, so I just got a pair for you." Irene said casually.
"Is it still the king's reward this time? I don't seem to have done a good job recently, do I?"
Zhou Jing was a little puzzled. Since the last time he chased down Bill Yang Fengyin, the king had been very critical of the imperial hunters, so he didn't think the king would suddenly give him a reward.
Irene shrugged and explained: "No, this is a personal gift from Princess Shuni, congratulations on becoming the commander of the Imperial Hunter."
Zhou Jing was a little surprised and looked at Shu Ni in surprise.
Shu Ni seemed embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Commander Jess, I have always heard your father mention you. I know you are a pillar of the empire, and I really want to get to know you. I hope you will like this gift."
"Uh... Since it's the princess's kindness, then I accept it, I like it very much."
Zhou Jing was in a weird mood and took over the thunder.
The last time I saw the princess was a few months ago, on Bill's body.
Seeing Shu Ni again now, I didn't expect a big change, not as introverted and shy as before.
And the princess who was originally a vase actually has the authority to mobilize the miraculous weapon, and can take it out as a gift. I don't know if it was taken from the king, or there is another way.
The two chatted for a while and got to know each other for a while, and then Shu Ni and Irene left together.
Looking at the backs of the two, Zhou Jing's heart moved.
From the conversation just now, he found that Shu Ni and Erin were very close, which was a situation that did not exist a few months ago.
Speaking of which, Irene is Shu Ni's aunt, and Shu Ni seems to have gotten close to Irene through this level of kinship, probably with a certain purpose.
'It seems that the recent change has had a considerable impact on Shu Ni... I hope she is not radicalized. ’
Zhou Jing secretly thought that the main reason was probably Bill's escape from marriage, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
He pulled out the thunder and experimented a little. The mechanism was similar to the fire, but the lightning was released.
After the development of the three-type alien blood potion, I can release electricity by myself, which is somewhat coincident with the thunder, but the miracle weapon discharge does not consume physical strength, which is somewhat helpful and can enhance the output.
This time, Jason's dual knives are replaced by miracle weapons, thunder, fire, and lethality far exceed ordinary weapons, which is a pleasant surprise.
Zhou Jing put away his swords and settled down.
No matter what Shu Ni's intention is, she doesn't take the gift for nothing.
……
Due to the successive independence of various tribes, the division of the empire, and the stalemate between the two sides, and urgent preparations for war, everyone in the country is now in danger and nervous.
As the atmosphere became more and more tense, the troop movements on both sides became more frequent, and more and more elites were promoted.
Jason became the commander of the imperial hunters, and Bill became the staff and the head of pharmacy in the Roman base.
The Terra Empire did not recognize the legitimacy of tribal independence, but it did not immediately send troops to crusade the rebels. If it did not let go, all the tribes would not dare to relax.
In an atmosphere where the mountains and rains are about to come, the people of the entire Terra Empire are worried, not knowing when a war will break out, and what the future situation will be like.
Zhou Jing is also watching the situation.
He finished Jason's affairs after taking office, set up a placement plan, and another round of shuttle cycle, and turned to Bill's side to practice sorcery.
It has been more than three months since Bill learned sorcery. With the help of his practice acceleration, he has obtained 7 sorcery points, and he has pointed out the skill tree of the second and third layers of "Spirit of the Wind".
The strength has made great progress, and the spirit and energy have reached more than 30 points, which is comparable to the years of practice of normal wizards.
But it also encountered a bottleneck. Bill's aptitude limit can only open the third level of the skill tree, and it cannot be unlocked further up.
However, the three-tier skill tree has a total of nine skills, all of which require 27 sorcery points, and there is still a lot of room for strengthening, so Zhou Jing is not in a hurry.
Ending this shuttle cycle, Zhou Jing returned to his body.
Returning to his daily life, he is already familiar with it, but this time the prompt popped up on the panel surprised him.
[This run has ended! ]
[Detected a known astral disturbance ~IndoMTL.com~ Coordinate calibration...]
[WARNING! [Alien World] No. 001, the gravitational strength of the plane has fallen below the shuttle threshold, the astral meeting is over... the astral link port is closed, the time stream docking is over... The detection is completed, the current status: [Cannot be placed]]
[Next time of astral meeting: unknown]
[Note: If there is an Astral Apostle that has been placed in the Astral World of [Unavailable], then the Astral Apostle will continue to operate in the placement mode and accumulate placement benefits. But before the next meeting, the main body loses most of the connection with the apostles, cannot come to consciousness, cannot change the placement plan, cannot perform operations on the apostles, and the apostle files will not be updated in real time... When the astral apostle dies, the information will be sent to the apostle. Earnings return, update files. ]
[If the placed astral apostle is an "eternal apostle", it can consume one placement opportunity, which is regarded as death and immediately recovered from the astral world where the intersection ends]
"Huh? The end of the astral meeting?"
Zhou Jing was surprised, this was his first trigger.
