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

Traveling all the way through the starry night, Zhou Jing escorted Goatee and Jia Ma to Baiyuan City smoothly.

Arriving 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 Lord Root in the reception room.

"Jason, the guard said you have something to report? Is there a strange beast threat in Shuangmu Village?"

Wearing a fine attire, Root glanced at Goatee and Gamma, and then asked Zhou Jing.

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

Zhou Jing pushed the goatee and Jiama who were tied together to the front, asked Rose to show several boxes of inferior medicine as evidence, and explained the transaction between the two of them.

The two dared not cooperate and confessed to the crime.

After listening, Lute showed a shocked face, squinted at the two of them, and said angrily: "Someone actually did this behind my back? Using his position to resell inventory to make money, he failed my trust!"

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

Root squatted down, flipped through the potion, saw the defective hunter potion inside, flew into a rage, and slapped the goatee face with his backhand.

Crack!

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

"You're looking for death! How dare you use hunter's supplies for profit?!"

Root snapped.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and said in a deep voice, "Beast hunters protect the tribe, and the quality of all supplies must be guaranteed first. This matter has reached the bottom line. Don't worry, I will never let it go." They! I will thoroughly investigate the pharmacy, find out all the supervisors involved in the case, and the village doctor who supplies them!"

"That's good." Zhou Jing nodded.

Lute paused, and warned: "Don't tell this matter for now, lest these moths get wind of it, destroy the clues, and cause confusion."

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

Lute looked at Goatee and Gamma, and said decisively, "Then leave these two people and this batch of inferior medicine 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 and bring the two of them here, and then the lord will worry about it. After all, he is just an ordinary beast hunter, not a city law enforcer.

Root forced a smile and said, "Jason, your report was timely and protected my interests, otherwise I will be 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." Lute was full of regret, and then smiled: "You have made a great contribution this time, I am a generous person, and I will never be stingy with rewards."

As he spoke, he approached the butler to whisper a few words, and the butler hurriedly left.

Not long after, the butler came back with a bulging money bag in his hand.

Lute took the money bag, handed it to Zhou Jing, and said in a deep voice, "I thank you for the thousand tera silver coins here."

"So many?" Zhou Jing frowned.

"You deserve it." Root said firmly, "The loss you saved for me far exceeds this amount."

Well, if you copy this goatee's house, you can get far more than this amount...

As soon as Zhou Jing thought about it, he was not surprised. He nodded and accepted it, and threw the money bag to Rose to carry.

"I've already told you everything I know. It's none of my business here, so I'll go first."

Zhou Jing didn't intend to stay here any longer, so he took his leave and left.

Root seemed to be busy interrogating the two of them, so he didn't try to keep them, but he just told him not to leak the news.

……

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

He suddenly got a huge amount of money, but he felt like he couldn't spend it... Certainly he couldn't go to the pharmacy, and there was no need to change the equipment on his body for the time being, so there seemed to be nowhere to spend it.

"It's still early, let's find a workshop."

Every time you come to Baiyuan City, the workshop is a must-go place, to check if the products have been updated.

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

Compared with the last visit, there are some new products in the workshop... It seems that other hunters have been working hard recently.

"Steel Feather Eagle Beak Hammer, Violent Dragon Dagger..."

Zhou Jing glanced at the equipment, most of which he didn't need.

He then looked at the list of different blood potions, this is what he needs.

The current main goal is the secondary strengthening, and preparations need to be made early to see if there are suitable medicines as alternatives.

Soon, Zhou Jing realized that he did not come in vain.

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

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

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised, and immediately fell in love with him at a glance.

Generally speaking, the subsequent blood enhancement will conflict or resonate with the blood medicine that has been taken before, and the blood medicine is collected from the same or similar kind of beast, the success rate of blood enhancement will be higher, and the effect will be higher. It will be better too.

Therefore, most of the alien beast hunters have established a route after the initial enhancement, and the follow-up enhancement often only considers the alien blood potion of the same kind of alien beast, which is the case for Baron.

As for my astral apostle, I used the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion for the first strengthening, which belongs to a leopard-species beast, while the Wind Roaring Tiger belongs to a tiger-species beast. Although they are not the same species, they belong to a similar species, and the route is consistent. .

He had several hunting records in the workshop of Baiyuan City, as well as the exchange quota. Zhou Jing didn't hesitate, and immediately asked the workshop leader to exchange for the Wind Roaring Tiger Potion.

However, the person in charge of the workshop showed a troubled look.

"Jason, I'm sorry, this is a medicine that someone else ordered, and he is ahead of you."

Zhou Jing was startled.

This is luck.

Hunters can reserve a certain type of different blood potion in the workshop. Once the workshop has a potion that meets their needs, it will be given priority to the pre-ordered potion.

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

"Who made the appointment?"

"It's Captain Maggie."

"...can you tell me again what his name is?"

"Maggie."

The person in charge of the workshop honestly repeated it.

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

After taking a breath, he hurriedly returned to the topic, wondering:

"It seems that there is no such person in the hunter list of Baiyuan City."

"Maggie is not a beast hunter, he is the captain of Lord Root's personal guard, a strengthened blood warrior." The person in charge of the workshop explained.

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

Zhou Jing was stunned, then frowned:

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

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

According to the regulations, only the beast hunters can make an appointment in the workshop. Others do not have the right to make an appointment.

"Well, he is the captain of the lord's guard after all... The lord specifically told me that he is allowed to enjoy the treatment of a hunter." The head of the workshop said in a tactful tone.

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

Zhou Jing made a decisive statement.

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

How about a lord's guard who doesn't need to participate in the hunt? Then let's pull the chicken and break it down, we don't know each other, and we don't know how to fight side by side, so why should we do it.

The main function of the hunter workshop is to serve the beast hunters. The blood warriors who are not hunters should not have the privileges of hunters.

"This is against the rules..." the person in charge of the workshop struggled.

Zhou Jing interrupted directly: "It's also against the rules for you to let a blood warrior who is not a hunter rank ahead of the hunter."

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

"If you don't tell him, it will be over?"

"The problem is that I notified him yesterday to pick it up..." the person in charge of the workshop smiled wryly.

"You still blame me for the coincidence?"

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

Just at this time, a burly man walked into the workshop. He was wearing a bodyguard armor with a shield on his back and a long sword at his waist.

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

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

"It seems that you came here by coincidence. That guy is Maggie. He is here to pick up the goods. You can talk to him yourself."

At this time, Ma Geji walked up, gave Zhou Jing a strange look, ignored him, went directly to the person in charge of the workshop, and said:

"Where's the Wind Howling Tiger 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, Jason also fell in love with Feng Xiaohu Potion, and he wants it too."

Maggie was taken aback for a moment, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that I made an appointment first? Why did you let him jump in line?"

"I think you are jumping the queue." Zhou Jing interrupted.

"Are you joking with me?" Maggie sneered, "Or is your brain damaged by a strange beast, so you can't tell who came first?"

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and pointed to his feet: "Do you know what this place is?"

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

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

"So what? When the lord hired me, he allowed me to enjoy the same treatment as a hunter in the workshop." Maggie snorted coldly: "This is the lord's order, you can shut up and get out of here , anyway, this potion is mine."

Zhou Jing was about to continue to say something, when a solemn and indifferent voice sounded from the side.

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

Everyone followed the prestige.

I saw Weber walking in from the door, walking slowly in front of Maggie, his forehead almost pushed up, and his tone was indifferent:

"You should go."

Hearing this, Maggie instantly showed an angry expression.

He shoved Wei Bo's chest violently, and shouted: "Stop pretending to me, I am the head of the lord's bodyguard, stay away from me, and get the **** out of here!"

The voice just fell.

Bass!

The sound of drawing a knife suddenly sounded.

The blade with cold light was attached to Maggie's neck in an instant.

The biting cold made Maggie's movements stiff.

Ma Geji glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes extended along the arm holding the knife, and the end point was Zhou Jing's face.

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

Ma Geji laughed angrily: "Steal other people's things overbearingly, and even threaten with knives! Come and see, this is the way of a beast hunter!"

Wei Bo wiped off the dust on his chest, and said in a deep voice:

"Our rights are what we fought for. You don't fight against alien beasts to protect the town, and you show off the same rights as us. Are you justified?"

"It's the face of 'I have made meritorious service so I am superior to others' again! Grabbing things is stealing things, don't make excuses!"

Maggie glared at the two of them and cursed loudly.

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

"Come, come, come, I'm the lord's bodyguard. If you have the ability, chop it off and let me see if your knife for chopping up strange beasts is as sharp against humans as well!"

"Correct me, it's just the potion you ordered illegally. It hasn't arrived in your hands yet. Strictly speaking, it's not yours."

As Zhou Jing spoke, he exerted a little force on his wrist, causing the blade to draw a line of blood on Ma Geji's neck, and continued:

"And... stimulating someone who can threaten your life is not a wise choice."

Feeling the tingling pain in his neck, Maggie's face twitched, as if he wanted to be tough to the end.

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

Getting out of the range of the blade, Maggie wiped his neck with his hand, feeling the wet blood.

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

After finishing speaking, Maggie turned around and left without staying any longer.

Zhou Jing resisted the itchiness of his hands when he went up to chop people, put the knife back into its sheath, clicked his tongue, and looked at the person in charge of the workshop: "You can give me the potion."

"Well, well..."

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

Zhou Jing then looked at Weber, nodded and said, "Thank you."

Wei Bo shook his head: "It's a small matter, I came to see the equipment of the workshop, just happened to meet, and I stood by your side... Besides, I hate the group of lord's guards."

Zhou Jing nodded, not surprised.

It's not been a day or two since the beast hunter disliked the lord's guards, and the conflicts had been accumulated for a long time.

Facing ordinary people, the beast hunter was the same as usual.

But the hunters are really so domineering towards the lord's guards.

——I have shrunk my eggs and dared not fight with strange beasts. I still expect them to be friendly to these desperate hunters, and I want to eat ass.

The hunters can understand the choices of these people, but they hope that these lord guards have some self-knowledge. right.

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

But the other party is the lord's guard, so he is too lazy to give in, and he has no psychological pressure... He just wants it, so he doesn't need to pretend.

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

"Why, do you want to hunt together?"

"Well, it is said that there is a deadly beast haunting the edge of Baiyuan City. 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. Are you coming or not? ?”

"I'll think about it and go when I'm free."

Zhou Jing didn't respond immediately, not sure if he came down in person at that time, or in a state of being put aside.

The two chatted for a while, and the person in charge of the workshop finally came back and handed the Feng Xiaohu medicine to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing put away the potion, bid farewell to Weber, and headed to the Hunter's Tavern.

The person in charge of the workshop watched Zhou Jing leave, shook his head, and said hesitantly:

"Maggie is the captain of the guard~IndoMTL.com~ Is it okay to offend him?"

"What's the problem?" Weber turned his head and glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Which is more important, a hunter hunting wild beasts or a group of useless guards?"

……

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

The torches crackled and the light dimmed.

Lute looked at Goatee and Gamma kneeling on the ground in front of him with a cold expression.

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

Goatee hurriedly lay down on the ground, trembling.

Jia Ma on the side ignored Lute, knelt down and moved towards Lute, begging in a trembling voice:

"My lord, I don't know their business at all. I'm just reselling medicine. I'll sell it if they pay for it. I don't know anything about what they do in private. My crime is not that serious. Can you Put..."

Swipe!

The light of the knife shines.

Jia Ma's face froze, staring fixedly at the jeweled dagger in Lute's hand, which was currently resting on his neck, with traces of blood dripping out.

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

"Shut up."

Lute kicked Jia Ma to the wall, then took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped the blood from the gem dagger, looked at the goatee who was lying on the ground and dared not move, and said indifferently:

"Now tell the information you told that hunter again, with the testimony of this pharmacist, let's tell it."

Goatee said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, no one knows about our relationship, I never betrayed you!"

Jia Ma was taken aback.

"..." Lute narrowed his eyes immediately and sneered secretly.
