Astral Apostle Chapter 58: Unexpected information

Zhou Jing led Rose through the streets and alleys with ease under the cover of night and houses.

A group of blood guards pursued persistently, but they couldn't keep up with Zhou Jing's speed and were gradually thrown away.

After running with all its strength for a while, the rapid sound of the bell suddenly resounded throughout the city.

Clang clang clang——

The guards rang the alarm bells, and the whole town was alarmed.

Teams of untidyly dressed guards rushed out of the barracks and hurriedly deployed their defenses.

However, the size of the town is so large, even if an alarm is issued, the pursuers cannot reach Zhou Jing's front, and the defenders on the city wall have limited manpower, so they cannot completely intercept it.

Not long after the alarm sounded, Zhou Jing had already run under the city wall.

The defenses in this section were sparse, with only a few guards, looking out from the crenel, they also found Zhou Jing and the other two.

Zhou Jing climbed up the aisle of the city wall in a flowing manner, and turned to look at the guards next to him.

Seeing this, a few guards opened their teeth and claws with their weapons, as if they would rush up at any time, but the distance gradually widened as they moved forward, and they all mastered the essence of the moonwalk.

The corner of Zhou Jing's mouth grinned, and he ignored the few people, leading Rose over the wall and walking away.

Several guards watched the two of them disappear into the thick night, their faces full of annoyance.

After a while, many blood guards chased to this city wall. Hearing that the thief had already carried the lord and ran away, the guards didn't work at all, and they were immediately furious.

"Why don't you stop it?!"

"Damn it, if you stop, we'll be there!"

The different blood guards shouted angrily.

The guards obediently listened to the accusations, and rolled their eyes in secret on the surface of fear.

Laughing to death, I don't want to stop at all.

The guards of the different blood seemed to hate iron for being weak, scolded the guards, and then went out of the city to chase for a while, feeling that it was almost done, and then returned with an expression of failing.

On the surface, they blamed the guards for not stopping the thief, but in fact they secretly rejoiced that the thief was not stopped.

Because they were already calm during the pursuit.

The enemy seems to be strengthened three times...or forget it.

Everyone plays on every occasion, shows their intentions, and shows that they are trying their best, and then go back to each house to find their own mothers.

As for Root...good luck to him.

On the other side, many townspeople were woken up by the alarm, went to the street to observe, whispered to each other to inquire about the situation, and were shocked to learn that the lord had been sneaked into and kidnapped.

Hey, finally there is a hero who will do justice for the sky!

As long as Lute exists, Baiyuan City will become more and more depressed, but he is still the lord regardless of the loss of Baiyuan City residents. Many urban residents have long been dissatisfied with this. Yet the empire does nothing, and there is nothing they can do.

Hearing this suddenly at this time, most of the citizens were not angry at all, but wished to celebrate with each other.

As word of mouth spread, the news of Root's kidnapping spread throughout the city like a hurricane that night.

Many secretly prayed for Root.

——Please tear up the ticket!

…

Out of Baiyuan City, Zhou Jing led Ross to run for a while, and soon found that the pursuers had given up.

"I will stop chasing so soon, tsk, it seems that Root is really unpopular."

Zhou Jing curled his lips, and led Rose to find a hidden area in the wild, put down the unconscious Root, and woke him up.

As soon as Lute opened his eyes and saw Zhou Jing's face again, he panicked, sat on the ground and moved back hastily, just wanting to stay away from Zhou Jing, speaking incoherently:

"How can you still be alive, I saw you dead with my own eyes! What are you!"

He couldn't understand why Jason was able to come back from the dead. This had already broken his three views. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think at all.

Zhou Jing grabbed Lute back to his crotch, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Do you think that the matter is over, and the dead will not come back to settle accounts?"

Rut trembled like chaff, facing Jason who was beyond his understanding, his psychological defense was completely broken.

He regarded Zhou Jing as a murderous ghost, and he had nothing but fear in his heart.

"You, what do you want?"

"I ask, you answer, and cooperate honestly, otherwise my friend will be happy to do something to you."

Zhou Jing pointed to Ross, and said casually:

"He is proficient in more than one hundred torture methods, and he can definitely help you understand your own body structure."

Root turned his head to look at Rose, and immediately believed it... With his expressionless face, he must be a ruthless man who kills without blinking an eye!

Zhou Jing asked what he wanted to know.

Root was so frightened that his defenses were broken, his brain was shut down, and he basically asked and answered, without the courage to resist at all.

Not long after, Zhou Jing asked the truth about Lute sending people to attack and kill him, as well as the deeper inside story.

"...So, you secretly conveyed benefits to the tribe and accumulated strength, in response to that Roman's call, to rebel and split the empire one day, and to fight for independence?"

Zhou Jing blinked, secretly surprised.

Because of Root's overreaction back then, he suspected there was an inside story, but he didn't know before that that a lord in a remote place like Root was actually related to a seemingly extensive rebellion plan.

The leader of this rebellion plan is a guy named "Roman", who is also the backer behind Lute, who holds a high position in the court of the Terra Empire. Zhou Jing heard this name for the first time.

All the tribal lords who participated in this rebellion plan, with Roman's plan as a link, formed an indirect covenant with each other, and waited for a certain day to rise up together.

What Root knows is only a part of the list, and he still doesn't know all the people involved in this plan.

Zhou Jing asked carefully, and got a general understanding of the motives of these tribal lords.

The empire was jointly established by the tribes, but now it has been trying to weaken the inherent tribal power, and the empire has replaced the original position of the tribes, absorbing a lot of resources, and the strength is changing.

Many tribes feel dissatisfied, thinking that with everyone's support, the empire can be established, but now there is a tendency to run out of birds, so they decide to respond.

The Terra Empire has been established for more than 40 years, and the threat of alien beasts still exists, but the living environment has improved a lot. The various tribes believe that they no longer need to be united, and they are more and more dissatisfied that the empire is in charge of their heads—so in Roman’s Under the consideration of lobbying and various factors, many tribal lords have the idea of ​​getting rid of the rule of the empire.

It is not necessary to overthrow the royal family, it will hurt both sides, and the so-called "throne" is actually not valued by the various tribes in the Alien Beast World... It has only been forty years since the tribal era entered the imperial era, and the rule of the royal family is still legal. Not fully established.

Every tribe that has survived from the barbaric era can be regarded as "orthodox".

Because of their support, the empire was established. If they are all independent, can the rule of the empire be justified?

Based on similar judgments, the various tribes decided not to obey the orders of the empire, intending to establish themselves as kings, to achieve complete autonomy, to get rid of the leadership of the imperial royal family, and then to use offensive and defensive alliances to make the empire be wary of rats and dare not use weapons.

"Would you like to split a unified regime into a bunch of small regimes, each making their own decisions..."

Zhou Jing was thoughtful.

To put this situation in a simpler way, it can be understood as... various tribes, including the imperial royal family, jointly funded and started the company. Everyone is an investor, and the helm of the company is held by the imperial royal family.

But now, the head of the company wants to turn the company into a monopoly and dilute everyone's shares, so the various investors quit and plan to withdraw their capital and start their own company... Thinking about it this way, the situation seems to be clear.

Zhou Jing can understand the thoughts of each tribe. Judging from the situation of the world of alien beasts, maybe this kind of independence really has a good chance of success.

But what Zhou Jing was curious about was the motive of the leading "Roman".

Having lobbied so many tribal lords, secretly pulling up a team, intending to split the empire... Is this person an ambitious man? What benefits does he get from it?

Only listening to Lute's description without personal contact, it was difficult for Zhou Jing to establish a clear image of this Roman.

Zhou Jing shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and asked about the situation of the cropped man... In contrast, he was more concerned about the origin of the cropped man.

However, Root didn't know about this. He only knew that there was a force behind the cropped man, who had a cooperative relationship with Roman, and that this person was also the secret guard sent by Roman to protect him.

The intersection of Lute and the mysterious forces behind the inch-headed man is limited to providing some supplies every year, such as food, ore, medicinal herbs and other things.

The handover method is often to transport the materials to different locations. After Root's people leave, this mysterious force will send people to take away the things again, and the two sides will not meet.

But since the death of the inch-headed man, his connection with that mysterious force has also been broken.

"Since the handover is on your side, that mysterious force must have a base nearby..."

Zhou Jing frowned and pondered.

It's a pity that Root didn't know the location at all, so he couldn't find it, so he was looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even Root didn't know the real origin of the inch-headed man. However, he somehow got a clue.

The careerist named Roman has a deeper connection with the forces behind the inch-cut man, so he must know more.

Zhou Jing asked all the things he cared about, and got the information he wanted.

After he drained Root's information, he didn't have any interest in talking about it, so he cut the man's throat with a single knife.

A line of blood emerges.

Rut stared wide-eyed, clutching his bleeding neck, with a look of pain on his face.

I have been guarding against the living all the time, but I never thought that I would die in the hands of a "dead man" in the end...

But inexplicably, he was a little relieved.

Having been suffering for more than half a year, I was worried every day, like a walking dead...Maybe only by dying at the hands of this undead can I be freed from the nightmare...

Lute fell to the ground, feeling the passing of life, the past appeared in front of his eyes, but it seemed to be something from his previous life, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Zhou Jing didn't look at Lute's body again, and there was no reason to let him go.

Putting the knife back into its sheath, he muttered to himself.

"Someone wants to split the empire... Roman..."

To be honest~IndoMTL.com~ Whether these lords fight for independence, what happens to the empire and the tribe in the end, has little to do with him.

Both sides have their own reasons, and he doesn't have any sense of belonging to the Terra Empire, so he doesn't care that much.

What Zhou Jing was thinking about was how to use the information he accidentally learned, and how to find an opportunity to earn resources from this incident...

"In the eyes of outsiders, I am still a dead person, and I am not suitable to appear in the surrounding area again, so as not to be recognized by my former hunter companions.

It seems that it is time to leave the area of ​​Baiyuan City... Maybe go to the capital to get closer to the core of power, so that the information I have obtained can be of value... and Roman is in the capital, the only way to get in touch with him is to go there . "

Zhou Jing's eyes flickered.

In addition, the royal capital has concentrated a lot of resources, and it is safe to have access to more different blood potions and hunter's breath resources.

——Maybe there is a good place for the Eternal Apostle to hang up and develop.
