Astral Apostle Chapter 145: Bill, when are you going to die?
The bright moon hangs high and the evening breeze blows.
Students in twos and threes take a walk after dinner, and there are couples chatting with each other, creating a free and laid-back atmosphere.
Zhou Jing is not in the mood to integrate into it now, hurried back to the dormitory, closed the door, and can't wait to reopen the panel, his eyes are full of excitement.
It's been more than half a year since the alien world was disconnected and the main world had passed, so he was waiting eagerly.
Now it is finally connected to the new astral plane, and it is possible to travel through the astral world again.
“The Astral Convergence Period identified by the Exploration Bureau is still a month and a half away, but my panel has entered the Convergence Period ahead of schedule, proving that the plane gravitational threshold required for the panel to start the astral shuttle is better than the shuttle device in the main world. , I can start the shuttle earlier than the explorer, and I won't be disturbed for a while..."
Zhou Jing was overjoyed. Although he had already guessed about this, he was still happy to see that the judgment came true at this time.
Although the guideline of explorers is not to interfere with the development of civilization on one plane, the assumption is good.
But after seeing and hearing about the world of alien beasts, Zhou Jing doesn't have too much extravagance on the degree to which explorers implement this code.
As long as the explorer enters the plane, he has to be more cautious about his actions, and his psychological feelings are completely different. And if you travel in advance, you can obviously have a period of undisturbed and stable activities. No matter what you do, you can take the lead.
Of course, now that I have decided to join the Exploration Bureau in the future, the explorers are not considered enemies... I just walk the world as an astral apostle. In order to "clear the customs", I always have to do things. conflict.
'But it's too early to think about this, it's really happening, let's see what happens. ’
Zhou Jing sat cross-legged on the bed and pondered to himself.
This time, unlike the first time I traveled, I was confused about the astral plane that I was about to enter.
He had already obtained the basic information from Shen Xinqin's science course for explorers on the new star plane of this meeting.
This time, the Exploration Bureau named it "Plane D19". The name in this format is a temporary code name, which means that the main world has not yet determined an official name for this plane.
Named with a code name, it usually represents that the civilization of this plane has many similarities with other planes. The main world has not yet unearthed the iconic characteristics of this plane civilization, and this plane belongs to the judgment of the main world. " Low-value planes".
Like the "Alien Beast Civilization Plane", no matter how the regime evolves, the alien beast is the biggest feature. The technology tree of civilization has been associated with the alien beast, so the Exploration Bureau is named after this.
The "D19 plane" does not have this feature.
This is an ancient world, in the stage of mature agricultural civilization. The political form is dominated by feudal dynasties, and there are multiple national regimes. Although the civilization level is higher than the alien civilization, it is not extraordinary.
There is more than one plane in a similar situation. Even if the names of countries, regimes and cultures are different, the regimes will also change with historical changes. It is not suitable for naming, so they are usually called by code names until the characteristics are found. Just changed the name.
——This is the case for most planes. After many encounters and explorations, they have an official name. This is a normal phenomenon.
It is worth mentioning that many countries and civilizations in many planes have similarities in cultural forms. This has always been one of the key projects studied by the Exploration Bureau. It is believed that there are certain unknown factors that will make the difference Planes produce similar cultural forms.
So the Bureau of Exploration established the criterion of "Planar Culture Lineage", taking the historical and cultural forms of the main world countries as the coordinates to locate the similar cultural forms of each plane country... For example, those close to the Chidu Republic, there are " Aurora Culture", "Zhuhua Culture" and so on.
And the mainstream country of "D19 plane", according to the positioning of the plane's cultural pedigree, is close to the cultural form of the Chidu Republic.
According to the data, the main world and the "D19 plane" have only met once, and no extraordinary power has been found. Only some mortal martial arts are circulated in the military and occasionally appear in the people.
Ordinary people can get fit and agile after practicing, but there are signs of "suspected martial arts budding". They are not extraordinary, and they are not even considered "low-level martial arts" in the main world rating.
...However, this is the data from the last meeting.
Now the main world and the "D19 plane" meet for the second time. Time has passed, and I don't know how much time has passed, and no one knows what it will evolve into. This is the information that explorers need to inquire.
"Even if the times change and the regime changes, the geography and history of this world will not change easily. This is my intelligence advantage."
Zhou Jing is satisfied, this is the benefit brought by the explorer's popular science course, although he only talked about it, it also gave him enough knowledge about the new star world he was about to enter.
The past information shows that the extraordinary power of the new star world is not obvious. He is not too surprised. After all, there are too many planes in the main world, and not every world has extraordinary power.
Although it may not be possible to obtain a new transcendent system from the new star realm this time, as long as the star realm apostle can be put in, it will be able to open the training acceleration, and use it to cultivate the martial arts system method that oneself obtained from the main world.
As long as it has this function, it will not be a loss. This is Zhou Jing's main demand at present.
——Besides, the "D19 plane" has evolved for many years, and it may not have given birth to an extraordinary system, and we will find out when we explore it again.
"However, the biggest problem now is that my two apostle slots are all used up, so I can't open a new apostle..."
Zhou Jing looked at the information on the panel and had a bit of a toothache.
The maximum number of Apostle slots is the number of Eternal Apostles + 1. He now only has two Apostle slots.
And these two slots, occupied by Jason and Bill respectively, are thrown into the disconnected alien world to place actions... Unless one is killed, there is no way to create a new astral apostle.
But these two are really **** capable of living, and they are still holding on!
According to the introduction of the popular science course, after the astral plane is disconnected, the flow of time will change, which may become faster or slower.
Since the two apostles haven't died yet, it means that the time flow of the alien world should not have become too fast.
The only thing Zhou Jing can do at the moment is to consume the chance of rebirth of the Eternal Apostle to recover Jason.
As for Bill, this rambunctious thing, he hasn't been transformed into an eternal apostle, he can only wait for him to die suddenly, and Zhou Jing has nothing to do.
"Do you really want to recycle Jason? Feeling a little bit of a loss..."
Zhou Jing scratched his head.
The Eternal Apostle does not have a maximum income limit, and it can be earned for as long as it is placed, but it is definitely not as good as the prospect of exploring the new star world.
So the apostle slot must be vacant, that's for sure.
It's just that, compared to actively recycling Jason, Bill's sudden death is more profitable.
After all, Bill hasn't "cleared the customs" yet. There is an upper limit on the placement income. After reaching the upper limit, the longer the placement is, the more resources will be wasted.
Moreover, with Bill's witchcraft aptitude, he can unlock the "Spirit of the Wind" to the third level at most, and no matter how hard he trains, he can't break through the limit of talent. This is the limit of his growth.
If you place Bill for a long time, you can brush up the "clearance settlement" evaluation, but it is not suitable to occupy this apostle slot all the time.
So, Zhou Jing didn't want Bill to continue to live at all at this time, and only hoped that he would die soon.
"Oh, Bill, what the **** are you doing, when are you going to die..."
Zhou Jing scratched his head helplessly.
……
Alien World.
Terra calendar, forty-eight years.
Since the independence of each tribe a few years ago, the imperial family has been attacked by enemies on several expeditions, and the crusade has been fruitless. The huge Terra Empire seems to have collapsed overnight.
The various tribes split their borders and the soil, and the originally unified empire territory was split into more than a dozen distinct tribal autonomous territories.
The Terra Empire has not been destroyed. The royal family retreated to Tarn City and several surrounding cities, silently licking the wounds.
For some reason, other tribes did not pursue further, acquiescing to the current power structure and resting on their own.
The fighting ceased, as if all were at peace.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is only a temporary peace, the royal family will not let it go, and the various tribes that once watched and helped each other seem to have a different mind, and their attitude towards the covenant has become ambiguous.
In addition, after several years of implementation, there is a mild abnormal blood potion improved by Master Bill, which has basically replaced the original version and become the mainstream abnormal blood potion.
Although the strengthening effect is weak, the number of alien blood warriors has increased.
However, due to the limitation of workshop output, mild and abnormal blood potions are given priority to supply the army. All the tribes have focused on strengthening their military power, and the royal family is no exception. They have no time to train civilian hunters. They are madly on the road of the arms race, and they dare not stop at all.
In the past few years, the real use of alien blood medicines for the people is far less than before. Due to the rampant chaos of alien beasts and serious damage to hunters, the alien beast hunter industry has not only not grown, but has become much depressed.
During the war that lasted for several years, villages and towns all over the country built docks one after another to resist the harassment of troops and the invasion of alien beasts, but many villages still perished, a large number of villagers moved to towns, and there were fewer and fewer villages in the wilderness.
A large number of fields are deserted and uncultivated, resulting in food shortages year by year and famine sweeping the country.
The tribes had to imitate the imperial system, recruiting hunters to maintain territorial security and ensure agricultural production, but the situation did not improve much, poverty and hunger were rampant.
Due to the changes in the world over the past few years, people's views on Bill have also become complicated.
Bill developed a new type of alien blood potion, and his achievements cannot be concealed. He is a well-deserved master of potions, but he became the fuse of civil unrest because of his betrayal of the royal family.
Many people don't know the inside story and can only throw the blame for ruining their stable life to Bill, which has given him a mixed reputation among the people.
However, after Bill's defection, it seems that the world has evaporated, there is no more news, and no one knows where he went.
In the past few years, the different blood medicines of the royal family and various tribes have not shown any signs of improvement
After analyzing all kinds of signs, many people think that Bill is mostly dead, and they don't know whether to regret or be happy.
……
Somewhere in the wild valley, a large camp is located here, and people come and go.
This is Roman's secret location.
In the center of the camp is a prominent felt tent, surrounded by heavy guards, and no strangers are allowed to approach. It seems to be protecting and guarding.
Roman dragged his fat body and paced to the tent, questioning the guards with his eyes.
The guard leaned forward and reported in a low voice:
"My lord, he didn't want to go out today."
"Hmm."
Roman nodded, motioning for the guards to go away, then opened the curtain and walked into the tent.
What jumped into view was a complete set of medicine preparation table, and a figure preparing medicine, it was Bill.
Bill's movements are extremely skilled, but Roman can't be happy when he sees it.
In the past few years, Bill has not developed any new potions, but has only prepared potions according to the existing formula day after day. Although the quality of the finished product is excellent, this is not what Roman wants.
Nowadays, the new type of alien blood medicine is spreading all over the world, and there are more and more pharmacists who are skilled in the formula. Roman does not lack a maker who follows the script. He is interested in Bill's R&D and innovation ability, and what he wants is to continue to improve Heterogeneous blood medicine, but Bill has not had any new achievements so far.
Also, Bill has become more and more taciturn in recent years, and has rarely communicated with him. Roman still remembers Bill's enthusiasm and talkativeness at the beginning, and the changes are quite abnormal now.
Also, Bill, who also serves as a staff member, has not given any strategic advice over the years, and has not responded even though the custody has gradually tightened.
Roman is really unsure of Bill's thoughts. Over the years, he has been quite wary, and the relationship has undergone subtle changes.
However, everyone is still in a cooperative relationship, and he does not mean to turn his face. He still has Bill in charge of the drug development work, and there is still hope.
All kinds of thoughts turned around in my mind, Roman forced a smile and said:
"Any progress today?"
"No."
Bill didn't look back, his tone unwavering.
"Well...how's your witchcraft going?"
"Normal." Bill cherished his words like gold.
Roman waited for a while, seeing that Bill didn't continue to pull down the family, so he had to cough and talk about business:
"I'm leaving for a few days, and Ma Ke will temporarily issue orders on my behalf to let you know."
"You can go in peace." Bill replied casually.
It doesn't sound like a good word...
Roman was helpless, turned around and left, beckoning the guards to come and continue to guard the place.
He paced back to the main tent on the other side, summoned his confidant Ma Ke, and instructed:
"I'm going out this time to negotiate with some tribes. You have to manage the camp well, close the valley, and bury the traces."
Marco nodded.
Roman thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "Also, show me Bill, if he has any changes, take it down immediately."
Ma Ke puzzled: "Sir, Bill has always been very calm, are you too wary of him?"
"He is indeed very quiet. In recent years, he seems to be a person who has no desires, but this is probably his disguise to confuse and paralyze me. What is he thinking? I completely see not out."
Roman frowned.
The reason why he was so wary was that Bill was also a wizard, and he passed on the sorcery himself and didn't tell anyone.
With this extraordinary power, he does not believe that Bill is willing to be content with the status quo and will inevitably pursue something.
In the beginning, Bill dared to risk his betrayal of the royal family in order to be free, but he has stayed in the camp for the past few years. This kind of performance makes Bill look like a dormant lone wolf. Not guard against.
Thinking about this~IndoMTL.com~ Roman's eyes flashed coldly, and said:
"If Bill tries to escape, you can call in the Guard and kill him!"
Ma Ke was startled, but seeing the cold look in Roman's eyes, he couldn't help nodding: "I understand, don't worry!"
Roman nodded, and then called in other confidants to assign tasks.
After setting everything up, Roman took a group of people and went out to leave.
……
The mountains are foggy, humid and cool.
The day is gone, and the night hangs high.
This valley is shrouded in darkness. Except for the sentry, everyone in the camp returned to the camp to rest. There was no light shining through, and it was unusually quiet.
Meanwhile, in the woods outside the valley
An unknown number of men in black are slowly surrounding the camp, silently.
