Astral Apostle Chapter 86: Acknowledgment
The Imperial Court of Terra is located in the inner city of the capital. It is a group of castles covering an extremely wide area. The main castle is the most towering and conspicuous. It is the administrative core for the king and the imperial council to exercise power. There are four annexed castles around, each with its own function. , connected to each other by covered bridges.
A high wall separates the court from the commoners. It is guarded by heavy troops and cannot be entered by outsiders.
In the mouth of the people of the royal capital, this castle is generally called "Golden Castle". The meaning of this name is mainly to praise the golden spirit of the Tarn royal family. In fact, there is no gold in the palace castle at all. Rock-blue, with flags bearing the Tarn coat of arms and imperial insignia throughout the outer walls.
After wandering around in the world of alien beasts for so long, this is the first time Zhou Jing has set foot in the imperial court.
He followed Kreber into the inner city gate, and proceeded along the main road known as the "Road of Glory", all the way to the gate of Jinbao, where he temporarily unloaded under the supervision of the guardian of the royal city. Armed, this was able to enter the golden castle.
Evening is just over, just after nightfall, the golden castle is brightly lit, and the guards who have just changed the guard are diligently patrolling.
The Golden Fort is heavily guarded. In order to prevent the supernatural from sneaking in, there are a large number of alien blood enhancers guarding the Golden Fort, guarding the royal city and guarding the royal family.
Generally, a regular patrol team is composed of an alien blood enhancer with several ordinary guards, and there are guards entirely composed of alien blood enhancers.
The alien hunters are not allowed to walk around in the golden castle. Zhou Jing and Kreiber followed the two teams of Wangcheng guards all the way to the imperial conference hall.
This is not an official meeting, but an emergency meeting. After learning about Kreber's report, King Becky Tarn immediately called the members of the Imperial Council to discuss, and called Zhou Jing, the party concerned, to ask about the details of the Deep Rock City Rebellion.
At this time, as soon as Zhou Jing stepped into the imperial conference hall, he found several important officials waiting here. Many of them were familiar faces, all of whom had met when they used the identity of Bill. Among them was Roman.
"Your Majesty, the Ministers, this is the imperial hunter Jace. It was he who personally stopped the atrocities of the gangsters and prevented the tragedy of Deep Rock City from happening."
Kreiber stepped forward and introduced Zhou Jing.
King Becky and many ministers looked at Zhou Jing in unison. It was the first time they met, and they looked up and down.
Zhou Jing also pretended to meet and recognize people for the first time, and glanced at everyone's faces.
"You did a great job." Becky nodded calmly: "I am very happy to see a hero with a sense of honor and responsibility like you in the team of Imperial Hunters."
Zhou Jing nodded slightly, with a calm attitude, not excited by the king's award.
Because "Jason" is different from "Bill", this is a powerful hunter who has experienced many battles and life and death. Powerful and stable is the image that he needs to play.
Seeing his flattering appearance, everyone is not surprised. The strong have temperaments.
Becky didn't mind either, and asked about the details of the Deep Rock City Rebellion. Zhou Jing concealed Lynn's existence, and the others told the truth.
After listening to the specific process, Becky's face showed a look of surprise and asked:
"There are nearly forty alien blood warriors in this gang of gangsters called the Sons of Alien Blood, and most of them were killed by you alone?"
Many ministers present also cast suspicious glances.
They've heard the report before, and that's what makes them question the most.
Aware of the distrust of many ministers, Kreiber helped and explained:
"You don't need to doubt Jace's strength. He is also one of the top elites among the three-time-enhanced hunters. After joining the imperial hunter for more than half a year, he has already become the top-ranking powerhouse among the imperial hunters. Fighting against him is not necessarily a sure win. The most important thing is that Jace still has the determination to continue to strengthen, I am very optimistic about him, maybe he can become another five-time enhanced hunter after me!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing again in amazement.
It's not easy to get Kreber's high evaluation. They didn't expect Kreber to be so optimistic about the hunter named Jace.
A monster hunter who has determination and potential, and may reach the fifth enhancement level in the future, everyone pays more attention.
Irene Tarn, the chief guard of the royal family standing silently next to him, also cast an interesting look.
"Hehehe, he is a respectable old hunter. I hope your future enhancements will go well, and the empire will have one more pillar who has been strengthened five times." Roman smiled and said some polite words.
"I try my best." Zhou Jing didn't say much.
King Becky waved his hand, did not continue the topic, said solemnly:
"Jace, you have made a lot of credit. If the son of alien blood succeeds, it will make other gangsters feel that it is easy to do evil, but fortunately you foiled their conspiracy and did not let things continue to deteriorate, otherwise son of alien blood The success of this will lead to more imitations.”
Speaking, Becky paused, her expression was both angry and helpless:
"But even if these gangsters fail, what's happening in Deep Rock will still have a bad impact, triggering more people's ambitions to do evil. If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and maybe more in the future. The newcomer who got the power of different blood, chose to trample the law..."
Roman echoed at the right time: "Yes, this is just like Jason of Baiyuan City. That person failed to assassinate the lord. Although he died, the impact has already been caused. Later, the lord of Baiyuan City was kidnapped and killed, precisely because someone Imitating him... once this kind of thing starts, it can't be undone."
The crowd nodded in sympathy.
At the beginning, the assassination incident in Baiyuan City was deeply disgusting to everyone present.
Being in the position of those in power, you will never allow your own safety to be threatened. All those who dare not abide by this rule are the public enemies of the ruling class, and they are all mobs.
Although everyone knew that the lord of Baiyuan City was at fault first, they still regarded Jason as a criminal... The first person resisted by assassination, and in the future, there will be more people who feel that there is such a thing as this choose.
The principle of defending the people is better than defending the river. These former ministers vaguely understand the truth, but unfortunately even if they have the idea of stopping the public from talking about this matter, they cannot put it into action. After all, the development of civilization is limited, and the kingship cannot control it too far. Unlike high-tech civilization, it can seal everyone's mouth at any time.
That is, Jason, the initiator, is already dead. Otherwise, he would have been wanted all over the country, and he would never die, and the mysterious murderer who later killed the lord of Baiyuan City, they still haven't given up the pursuit.
What these imperial ministers don't know is that the murderer they are looking for has come before them, but no one recognizes them.
Zhou Jing's expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard.
It's Jason, it's none of my business, Jace.
Becky coughed, calming everyone down, and said slowly:
"In any case, the matter of Deep Rock City will spread sooner or later, so I decided to hold a public execution, to judge and execute the leader of the son of alien blood in public, so that everyone can see the fate of the bandits and the strength of the imperial hunters! "
Everyone was not surprised. Before Zhou Jing arrived, they had already discussed the plan.
Since there is no way to stop the spread of the news, it can only turn the tide of rumors and emphasize the fate of the gangster and Jason's "hero" image.
At this time, Becky looked at Zhou Jing and showed a rare smile: "Jess, you have made great achievements this time, I will give you corresponding rewards to thank you for your dedication, do you have any requirements? "
Zhou Jing pretended to think about it and said, "Nothing else, I don't care about money, this is the duty of the imperial hunters, and I would rather execute Doton personally."
Hearing this, Becky was a little surprised. After pondering for a few seconds, she didn't refuse: "Okay, since it's the criminal you caught, it's up to you to solve it."
After speaking, Becky became more and more fond of Zhou Jing's calm appearance and added:
"You're great and I'll keep following you."
Zhou Jing nodded in greeting, and put Gao Leng to the end.
After talking about the matter, the meeting ended. Zhou Jing said goodbye to the king and others, and followed Kreiber to leave the Jinbao, thinking secretly in his heart.
'The king knows that there is someone like me, and in the future, if you stand on the line of the empire, the road will be easy. ’
This time, there are many eyes and mixed eyes. Zhou Jing did not intend to reveal the independent information of the tribe, and the first time he met the king, his trust was not enough.
Although I didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, I got the king's appreciation and let the king remember him as a character. It is feasible to find a reason to ask for a meeting in the future, unlike the previous time where I couldn't establish contact with the king.
I want to reveal the conspiracy of tribal independence, there are already channels, waiting for the opportunity to do things... Zhou Jing thought to himself.
He has decided to pedal two boats, Bill will take the dry road of Roman, and Jason will naturally take the waterway of the Empire.
Now the situation is not clear, just bet on both sides, risk hedging.
Watching Zhou Jing's back go away, Roman withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering.
A hunter with the potential to strengthen five times... It's a pity, although it is worth attracting, but such hunters often have firm goals and are difficult to buy or conquer.
And the potential is just something that hasn't happened. Maybe the next time I strengthen it, this person will die violently...
Roman shook his head, not intending to make deep contact with Jace for the time being.
Powerful hunters are important, but that's what he sees as such.
Bill, who can develop a different blood potion, is a more worthy target. In comparison, a hunter is nothing at all.
Roman has already prepared a plan, and intends to start a fierce pursuit after Bill finishes closed development, and must bring this talented pharmacist under his command.
……
A day later, the capital posted a notice announcing the Rebellion in Deep Rock City.
The news caused shock to the residents of the capital, and a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, which soon became the main topic of conversation on the streets.
Because propaganda of positive influence requires a model, the empire emphasized Zhou Jing's credit in the notice, intending to establish a heroic image to divert the world's attention from the gangsters.
The title of "Deep Rock City Savior" was certified by the Empire and placed on Zhou Jing's head.
The name "Jace" quickly spread throughout the city ~IndoMTL.com~ became a celebrity among hunters and was heatedly discussed by the residents of the capital.
As the Empire's notices were sent to other cities, the fame of "Jace" gradually spread, and the Incident of Deep Rock was known to more people, causing a sensation everywhere.
For Zhou Jing, the most direct manifestation is that the popularity of the career deed [Rebellion of Deep Rock City] has been continuously improved, and soon reached 5 points, which is equivalent to providing an additional 5% daily income bonus. And with the rise of fame, there is still room for further improvement.
Zhou Jing did not care about the propaganda of the empire. He helped Lin En to settle down in the capital, and occasionally went to Lin En to discuss the remnants of witchcraft. At other times, he stayed at the imperial hunter station, waiting for the public execution of Doton with peace of mind.
The Imperial Hunter's breathing technique has been basically learned. Zhou Jing has already planned to let Jason strengthen it four times, but he is not in a hurry, because Bill is installed in the workshop and is developing a new type of alien blood medicine.
He intends to let Jason use a new type of abnormal blood potion, which should be strengthened more than the normal blood potion.
There are people inside, once the research and development is successful, they can enjoy this benefit first and become the first "new style enhancer"!
