Astral Apostle Chapter 39: The contradiction between the new blood medicine and the backlog

Along the starry night, Zhou Jing arrived at Baiyuan City with the goatee and Jiama.

When he arrived at the lord's longhouse, he asked the guards to inform him of his intention. After waiting for a while, he was welcomed in and saw the lord Root in the reception room.

"Jason, the guard said you have something to report? Is there a threat from alien beasts in Frostwood Village?"

Root was wearing a fancy dress, glanced at the goatee and Jiama, and then asked Zhou Jing.

"No, it's about the pharmacy..."

Zhou Jing pushed the bound goatee and Gama to the front, and asked Ross to show a few boxes of inferior potions as evidence, explaining their transaction.

The two did not dare not cooperate and confessed to the crime.

After listening to this, Root looked startled, squinted at the two of them, and said angrily, "How could someone do such a thing behind my back? Taking advantage of his position, reselling inventory for money, betraying my trust!"

The two looked at the lord tremblingly, not daring to answer.

Root squatted down and rummaged through the potion. When he saw the defective hunter potion inside, he was furious and slapped the goatee's face with a backhand.

Pop!

The goatee was knocked to the ground, covering his face and daring not to look up.

"You are courting death! Even hunters' supplies, you dare to use them for profit?!"

Root spoke sharply.

Immediately he turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and said solemnly: "The alien hunters guard the clan, and the quality of all supplies must be guaranteed first. This matter has touched the bottom line, don't worry, I will never let it go. They! I will thoroughly investigate the pharmacy and find out all the supervisors involved, as well as the village doctor who supplies them!"

"That's good." Zhou Jing nodded.

Root paused and warned, "Don't talk about this for the time being, lest these worms hear the wind, destroy the clues, and cause confusion."

Are you worried about the fire dragon burning the warehouse... Zhou Jing nodded silently.

Root looked at Goatee and Garma, and said decisively: "Then leave these two people and this batch of inferior potions to me. I still have a lot of things to interrogate them."

"Okay." Zhou Jing had no objection.

What Baron told him was to report the situation, bring the two over, and then the lord would worry about it. After all, he is just an ordinary alien hunter, not a city law enforcer.

Root then forced a smile and said, "Jason, your report was very timely and safeguarded my interests, otherwise I would have been deceived by them for a long time... You really don't consider accepting my invitation. , become my bodyguard?"

"No, I still prefer being a hunter."

"Okay." Root was full of pity, and then smiled: "You have made a great contribution this time. I am a generous person and will never be stingy with rewards."

As he spoke, he asked the butler to whisper a few words, and the butler hurriedly retired.

It didn't take long for the butler to return with a bulging purse in his hand.

Root took the purse, handed it to Zhou Jing, and said solemnly, "One thousand tera silver coins here are my thanks."

"So many?" Zhou Jing raised his brows.

"This is what you deserve." Root said firmly: "The loss you have saved for me is far more than this amount."

Well, if you copied this goatee's home, you could get far more than that...

Zhou Jing's thoughts changed, and he was not surprised. He nodded and accepted it, and threw the purse to Ross on his back.

"I've told you everything I know. I have nothing to do here, so I'll go first."

Zhou Jing did not intend to stay here any longer and left.

Root seemed to be busy interrogating the two of them. He didn't hold back, but just warned again not to let the rumors go.

…

Zhou Jing took Ross out of the lord's longhouse, greeted the guards next to him, and then looked at the sky, it was still morning.

He suddenly got a huge sum of money, but he felt that he couldn't spend it... The pharmacy certainly couldn't go to the pharmacy, and the equipment on his body did not need to be changed for the time being, as if there was no place to spend it.

"It's still early, so let's go to the workshop."

Every time you come to Baiyuan City, the workshop is a must-go place to check whether the product has been updated.

Zhou Jing came to the workshop lightly, and asked the person in charge of the workshop to get the list.

Compared to the last visit, the workshop has some new products... It seems that other hunters have been working hard recently.

"Steelfeather Eagle Beak Hammer, Tyrannosaurus Dagger..."

Zhou Jing glanced at the equipment, most of which he did not need.

He immediately looked at the list of alien blood potions, which was what he needed.

At present, the main goal is to strengthen the second time. It needs to be prepared early to see if there is any suitable medicine as an alternative.

Soon, Zhou Jing realized that he didn't come here in vain.

At present, there are three bottles of high-quality alien blood potions in the workshop inventory, snowwing bat potion, earth rock dragon potion, wind howling tiger potion, the first two are medium-risk alien beasts, and the last is high-risk alien beast.

"Wind Howling Tiger... This kind of beast is also famous for its agility, its strength is equally powerful, and its destructive power is amazing."

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised and fell in love at a glance.

Generally speaking, the follow-up abnormal blood enhancement will conflict or resonate with the previously taken abnormal blood potion, and the abnormal blood potion is collected from the same or similar type of alien beast, the success rate of abnormal blood enhancement will be higher, and the effect will be higher. would be better too.

Therefore, most alien hunters have established a route after the initial enhancement, and subsequent enhancements often only consider the alien blood potions of the same alien beasts, which is the case with Baron.

As for my astral apostle, the first enhancement I used was the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion, which belongs to the leopard species, while the Wind Howling Tiger belongs to the tiger species. Although it is not the same species, it belongs to a similar species, and the route is consistent. .

Zhou Jing had several hunting records in the White Plains City workshop, as well as the exchange quota. Zhou Jing did not hesitate, and immediately asked the person in charge of the workshop to exchange the Feng Xiaohu Potion.

However, the head of the workshop looked embarrassed.

"Jason, I'm sorry, this is a potion that someone else has reserved, and he is in front of you."

Zhou Jing was startled.

It's just luck.

Hunters can reserve a certain type of alien blood potion in the workshop. Once the workshop has a potion that meets their needs, it will be given priority to those who reserve it.

I made an appointment myself, but after all, the time is not long, and the priority is not as good as the hunter who made the appointment earlier.

"Who made an appointment?"

"It's Captain Maggi."

"...What's his name again?"

"Maggi."

The head of the workshop honestly repeated it again.

The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched slightly, struggling to resist the desire to complain about the name.

After taking a sigh of relief, he quickly returned to the topic, wondering:

"There seems to be no such person in the roster of hunters in Baiyuan City."

"Maggi is not a hunter of alien beasts, he is the captain of the personal guard of Lord Root, and he is an alien blood warrior who has been strengthened." The workshop leader explained.

"It turned out to be the lord's bodyguard..."

Zhou Jing was stunned, then frowned:

"No, he's not a hunter, why should he make an appointment at the workshop?"

The most important task of the workshop is to ensure the supply of various products to hunters.

According to the regulations, only alien hunters can make reservations in the workshop. Others do not have the right to make reservations. Even if they spend money, they can only buy spot goods. The priority of queuing is lower than that of hunters.

"Well, he is the captain of the lord's bodyguard after all... The lord specifically told me to allow this person to enjoy the treatment of a hunter." The workshop leader's tone was euphemistic.

"Then I don't care, I want this medicine anyway."

Zhou Jing made a decisive statement.

If the appointment is for a working alien beast hunter, he doesn't mind discussing it with others. If they don't want to, then even if it's a pity, he won't force it.

A lord's bodyguard who doesn't need to hunt? Then pull the chicken and break it down, everyone doesn't know each other, and they won't fight side by side, so what are you doing?

The main function of the Hunter Workshop is to serve alien hunters. Alien warriors who are not hunters should not have the privileged treatment of hunters.

"This is not in line with the rules..." The workshop leader struggled.

Zhou Jing directly interrupted: "It's not in compliance with the rules for you to let a non-hunter alien blood warrior rank ahead of the hunter."

The person in charge of the workshop rubbed his forehead helplessly: "If you take this potion away, Maggi asks, and I have to explain the reason to him."

"You won't tell him it's over?"

"The problem is that I informed him yesterday to come and get it..." The workshop leader smiled wryly.

"You still blame me for being here?"

Zhou Jing raised an eyebrow.

Just at this moment, a burly man with a face full of flesh walked into the workshop. This man was dressed in guard armor, with a shield on his back and a long sword on his waist.

He looked left and right, and soon saw the person in charge of the workshop here, and immediately walked over.

Seeing this, the person in charge of the workshop had a subtle expression, looked at Zhou Jing, and said:

"It seems that you came by coincidence. That guy is Magogee. He has come to pick up the goods. You have to talk to him yourself."

At this moment, Maggi walked forward, gave Zhou Jing a strange look, didn't answer, went directly to the person in charge of the workshop, and said:

"Where's the Feng Xiaohu potion I want? I'm here to get it."

"Cough..." The person in charge of the workshop coughed, pointed at Zhou Jing, and said, "Something happened, and Jason also liked Feng Xiaohu Potion, and he wanted it too."

Maggi was stunned for a moment, then dissatisfied: "Didn't you say I was the first to make an appointment? Why did you let him cut the queue?"

"I think you're cutting the queue." Zhou Jing interjected.

"Are you joking with me?" Maggi sneered: "Or is your brain damaged by a beast, and you can't tell who comes first?"

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and pointed to his feet: "What is this place, do you know?"

"Hunter Workshop, what are you talking about?" Maggi frowned.

"So are you a hunter? Are you eligible to make an appointment at the workshop?"

"What if not? When the lord hired me, he allowed me to enjoy the same treatment as a hunter in the workshop." Maggi snorted coldly: "This is the lord's order, you can shut up and go to the side. , this potion is mine anyway."

Zhou Jing was about to continue to say something, when a solemn and indifferent voice sounded beside him.

"A person who doesn't have to fight with alien beasts with his life gets the same rights as alien beast hunters, and still shows off his power in front of hunters..."

The crowd followed the reputation.

I saw Webb walking in from the door, walking slowly in front of Magogie, his forehead almost up, his tone indifferent:

"You should get out."

Hearing this, Magogee instantly showed an angry look.

He shoved Webber's chest suddenly and shouted, "Don't pretend to be in front of me, I'm the lord's bodyguard, stay away from me and get out of my way!"

The voice just fell.

Bass!

The sound of a knife being drawn suddenly sounded.

The blade, which was flowing with cold light, stuck to Maggi's neck in an instant.

The bone-chilling cold made Maggi froze.

Maggi glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes extending along the arm holding the knife, ending at Zhou Jing's face.

"I advise you not to lose your temper, it's better to leave now." Zhou Jing shook his head.

Maggi laughed angrily: "Domineering to steal other people's things, and even threaten with a knife! Come and see, this is the way of beast hunters!"

Weber brushed off the dust on his chest and said solemnly:

"Our rights are earned by our lives. You don't fight against alien beasts to protect the town, and you show off the same rights as ours. Are you justified?"

"It's the face of 'I've made meritorious deeds, so I'm better than others'! To grab something is to grab something, don't make excuses!"

Maggi glared at the two of them and yelled at them.

Immediately, he pointed at Zhou Jing's nose and said angrily:

"Come on, I'm the lord's bodyguard, you can cut it down if you can, and let me see if your knife is so sharp against people!"

"Correct, it's just the medicine you ordered illegally. It hasn't arrived yet. Strictly speaking, it's not yours."

Zhou Jing said, with a slight force on his wrist, let the blade press a blood line on Maggi's neck, and continued:

"And... provoking someone who could threaten your life is not a wise choice."

Maggi felt the tingling pain in his neck, his face twitched, as if he wanted to be tough.

But in the end, he chose to judge the situation, raised his hands, and stepped back.

Out of range of the blade, Magogie wiped his neck with his hand and felt the wet blood.

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zhou Jing, and said hoarsely, "Yes, you can!"

Having said that, Magogee turned his head and left, not to wait any longer.

Zhou Jing resisted the itch of going up to cut people, put the knife in the sheath, clicked his tongue, and looked at the workshop manager: "You can give me the potion."

"Oh, well..."

The person in charge of the workshop sighed and went to the warehouse to pick up the medicine.

Only then did Zhou Jing look at Weber and nodded, "Thank you."

Webber shook his head: "It's a small matter, I came to see the workshop equipment, and I happened to meet you. Besides, I hated the group of lords and guards."

Zhou Jing nodded, not surprised.

It has been a day or two that the lord and guards of the alien beast hunters are not pleasing to the eye, and the contradictions have been backlogged for a long time.

In the face of ordinary people, the alien hunter is the same as usual.

But when it comes to lords and guards, hunters are so domineering.

——All shrinking eggs dare not fight with alien beasts, and expect them to be treated kindly by desperate hunters, wanting to eat shit.

The hunters can understand the choices of these people, but they hope that these lords and guards have some self-awareness. When they see their hunters, they will quickly detour away, get out of their sight, don't stain their eyes, and don't share the hunters' faces right.

Zhou Jing didn't have a good attitude towards the lord's guards either. If the alien blood potion he was interested in was reserved by a hunter, then he would save face and come across other suitable alien blood potions in the future.

But the other party is the lord's guard, so he is too lazy to give in and has no psychological pressure... He just wants it, no need to pretend.

Webber suddenly asked: "By the way, are you free recently?"

"Why, we want to hunt together?"

"Well, it is said that there is a deadly alien beast that haunts the edge of the Baiyuan City area. After a while, I plan to organize a hunting team to deal with it, so as not to threaten the surrounding area of ​​Baiyuan City, you can't come. ?"

"I will think about it, I will go when I have time."

Zhou Jing didn't respond immediately, not sure whether he would come in person or leave it alone at that time.

The two chatted for a while, and the head of the workshop finally came back and handed the Feng Xiaohu potion to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing collected the potion, said goodbye to Webber, and headed to the Hunter Tavern.

The person in charge of the workshop watched Zhou Jing leave and shook his head ~IndoMTL.com~ hesitantly said:

"Maggi is the captain of the guards, is it okay to offend him?"

"What's the problem?" Webber turned his head to look at him, and said lightly, "Which is more important, a hunter who hunts alien beasts, or a group of useless guards?"

…

On the other side, a dungeon under the lord's longhouse.

The torches are crackling, and the light is dim.

Root looked at the goatee and Gama who were kneeling on the ground in front of him with a cold expression.

He rubbed the ring and said coldly, "I said that the hunter's potion is the bottom line, but you seem to take it seriously, and you still dare to do this business behind my back...why, can't you get enough?"

Goatee hurriedly fell to the ground, shivering.

Gama on the side ignored it, knelt down and moved to Root, tremblingly begging:

"Lord Lord, I don't know their business at all. I'm just reselling the potions. I'll sell them if they pay. I don't know anything about what they're doing in private. My sin is not that serious, can I? put..."

Brush!

The knife shines brightly.

Gama's face froze, staring at the gem dagger in Root's hand, which was standing on his neck at the moment, with traces of blood splattered.

"Don't, don't kill..."

"Shut up."

Root kicked Garma to the wall, then took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood of the gem dagger slowly, looked at the goatee lying on the ground and dared not move, and said lightly:

"Now tell me the information you told the hunter again. With the testimony of this pharmacist, tell me."

The goatee then said with a trembling voice: "Cousin, no one knows our relationship, I definitely didn't betray you!"

Jama was taken aback.

"..." Root narrowed his eyes and sneered to himself.
