Astral Apostle Chapter 97: Showdown and cooperation

After a friendly talent show, the two took their seats again.

Roman put his hands on his knees, and the rings on his hands looked jewel-like under the firelight.

Zhou Jing seemed to have sobered up, pinched the character's mentality, and showed the cramped feeling that he thought his friend was an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to be a hidden master, and now he is the first to know the true face of the other party.

Restricted for a while, as if unable to hold back his strong thirst for knowledge, Zhou Jing couldn't help but speak first:

"What's up with this power called witchcraft? Why hasn't anyone heard of it?"

Hearing this, Roman explained slowly:

"The history of witchcraft is not long. It appeared at the end of the tribal era. No one knows how the first wizard in the world discovered this power. It is only known that he taught this power to three disciples and instructed the three People keep witchcraft a secret, believing that the power is not suitable for mass dissemination.

So the three disciples decided to make a rule. In the future, a wizard can only accept three students at most, and secretly inherit this mysterious power... So far, it is the sixth generation.

Wizards generally hide in the folk, or live in isolation, and do not reveal their own witchcraft, so it is normal that you have not heard of it. And for the sake of safety, there is almost no contact between wizards, and they leave on their own after leaving the apprenticeship. Unless they meet by chance, they will not deliberately look for others. I only met other wizards once in my early years with my teacher, and never again. "

Zhou Jing was a little surprised. The history of witchcraft is so short, far inferior to that of alien beast hunters... I don't know whether this power system was born locally or brought about by alien lifeforms.

Lin is a wild man. Luckily, he picked up an introductory guide book on witchcraft. He has no idea about the origin and current situation of wizards.

According to Roman, wizards generally live alone and do not communicate with each other. In other words, they have no organization at all. They are more scattered than a plate of loose sand, scattered among the people.

Zhou Jing's thoughts turned and pretended to be surprised: "So are there many wizards in the world?"

According to this inheritance rule, with a multiplier of 3x, it seems that the sixth generation can have more than 200 wizards.

Roman shook his head: "Not everyone is willing to accept students. Most wizards prefer to spend their time on themselves rather than teaching, and for some special reasons, accepting students is not good for wizards. In addition, wizards are often haunted. In the wild, sometimes encountering alien beasts that are difficult to deal with will also kill people, so there are not too many wizards in existence."

"What is the special reason?"

Zhou Jing pricked up his ears and spoke with curiosity.

Roman pondered for a while, then explained: "Okay, let me tell you first... Practicing sorcery, although not as dangerous as the blood potion, must be in the wild, looking for a kind of spirit called nature. The special existence of witchcraft mainly comes from it.

And the spirit of nature is very rare, distributed in some strange areas, and the number is not infinite. Once acquired by a wizard, it will disappear. The spirit of nature in an area regenerates extremely slowly, and may even never regenerate. So every time a new wizard is trained, there will be one less spirit of nature. This is the reason why the first wizard told his disciples not to spread witchcraft on a large scale, which later became the consensus of wizards. ”:.

Zhou Jing blinked, but this matched the information he got from Lynn.

The spirit of nature is limited. To become a wizard, one must integrate at least one spirit of nature. In order to become stronger, more must be integrated. Therefore, cultivating students is equivalent to cultivating competitors.

I feel that only wizards who no longer need the spirit of nature to become stronger will have the leisure to accept students.

"What kind of power is witchcraft?"

Zhou Jing became a curious baby.

Roman is not stingy, and explained a little bit, which is similar to Lynn's wizard's instruction manual, but a little more detailed.

At this time, he changed the subject and said, "Master Bill, have you considered it, are you willing to accept my conditions?"

Zhou Jing thought for a while: "If a wizard can only teach three people in his life, can I learn it?"

Roman nodded: "I have never accepted a student. If you agree to my conditions, I will teach you witchcraft. You don't have to worry about the risk of acquiring the spirit of nature. I will help you."

Zhou Jing pretended to hesitate:

"But can I learn sorcery? Does this power really require any talent?"

If Roman replied no, it means that they didn't want to teach him at all, they just used witchcraft as bait to catch him.

But Roman shook his head: "Witchcraft can't be practiced by anyone, it requires talent, but you have no problem."

"How do you see this?" Zhou Jing wondered.

Roman looked at Zhou Jing up and down and said slowly:

"Wizards have a simple method to determine whether a person can practice witchcraft. The first is the perception of nature. Your special ability to analyze various herbs and potions is the embodiment of the alienation of this aptitude. Basic requirements for wizards.

Secondly, a wizard needs a strong mental strength... In words that you can understand, it means that you are energetic, your mind is active for a long time, and you can work in the workshop without sleep, which proves that your mental strength is stronger than ordinary people. "

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's expression became slightly strange.

So people who can stay up late have the potential to become wizards?

Standards are not only down-to-earth, but also down-to-earth.

[Item analysis function] has always been considered to be his special talent, while in the workshop, it relies on the placement mechanism of the apostles... These two make Roman misunderstood his aptitude. It is estimated that in Roman's eyes, he Still a genius in the wizarding world.

No wonder this coercion is not worried about the embarrassing situation of using witchcraft to win him over, but he can't learn it. It turned out that through these two misunderstandings, it was directly determined that he was qualified for witchcraft.

Zhou Jing seemed to be in a tangle, and after more than ten seconds, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I agree to your conditions, if you can let me learn witchcraft, and have a reliable plan to set me free , I am yours."

Roman then showed a satisfied smile: "Trust me, compared to the power of witchcraft, everything the royal family promises is worthless... You don't have to worry about me restricting your freedom like the royal family, only the rulers I just want to control everything, I don't need you to work for me forever, we are more like a cooperative relationship. You provide the craftsmanship of the potion, and I give you the strength."

Zhou Jing did not respond.

There is not a high degree of trust between the two, and their understanding of each other is limited. I am worried that Roman will turn his face after getting out of trouble, and Roman is also worried that Bill will sell it after the showdown.

Don't show hard stuff like witchcraft, it's hard to convince Bill with empty words, and there's no reason to tempt people.

Having said so much information, Bill is already on the pirate ship. If he backs down, Roman will not allow it, but he just didn't say the threat.

Even when it comes to cooperating to get what you need, you take risks in the beginning, worrying about this and worrying about that. If one party can completely avoid risks, it can only prove that the other party is 80% passive and disadvantaged in the cooperation... Under the current situation, neither of them can obtain a 100% guarantee, and they can only admit that there is an element of gambling.

At this time, Zhou Jing asked what he had been curious about:

"You say you are a powerful wizard, but why do you want to be a court minister and fight against the royal family? What are your goals and plans?"

Hearing this, the smile on Roman's face disappeared: "Just think that I can't stand the so-called 'royal family'."

Seeing that people didn't want to go into details, Zhou Jing did not give up easily and asked:

"But I don't know anything about your goals or your forces. How can I trust you? At least you have to tell me which side you represent."

Roman thought for a while and said casually: "The Terra Empire has never belonged to the Tarn royal family, but belonged to all tribes... I represent the interests of each tribe and have a legitimate position, so you don't have to worry about it. The hostility of the royal family, outside the capital, cannot be determined by the royal family."

I didn't hide this aspect, but I still didn't say the target, but this person probably won't reveal it... Zhou Jing secretly said.

He changed the subject and asked, "Then how are you going to take me out of the Golden Fort? You won't take me from the main gate of the Golden Fort all the way to the capital, right?"

Roman was amused and shook his head: "It's too laborious, there's no need to make such a big noise. I have a few ideas, you can listen to them."

"You said."

"Don't look at the strong defense of the golden castle. In fact, there are my people everywhere, and there are some secret passages. It is not difficult to send you out of the golden castle. the two guards, try not to confront them head-on."

Zhou Jing agrees. The mindless and unhappy team has been monitoring, and it is difficult for him to carry out any action. Now both teams of guards are still waiting outside, and you can see them when you go out.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Roman clenched his radish-like fingers and whispered:

"The first way is to slip away at the wedding banquet. Two months later, you marry the princess, and the king will hold a palace wedding banquet. At that time, the guards will not keep an eye on you as usual, because it is difficult to live in the scene, like a prisoner, so you can move freely.

You seem to get the most attention at the wedding banquet, but in fact others are the least defensive about you. The king thinks that you are about to marry a member of the royal family. The person just took the opportunity to take you away. "

Zhou Jing is noncommittal:

"Try not to delay the wedding reception...is there any other way?"

Roman touched his chin and pondered: "The second is a stupid way, find an opportunity to get rid of the guard's surveillance within two months, and let my subordinates take you away from the golden castle, but the chance is not big, you The strength of the two guards is not weak, and they work day and night, and there is generally no gap. Even if I ask my subordinates to switch packages with you and pretend to be you, the alien blood warrior's sense of smell can immediately distinguish it."

"Then it's the same as saying no, is there anything else?"

"The third method is to take advantage of the chaos. If you can convince the king to let you go, I can arrange for someone to kill you and take you away. If you can only stay in the golden castle, you can set the city on fire. Or assassinate the king, cause chaos, find a way to distract the guards... of course they may also be more vigilant to protect you."

Zhou Jing held his forehead.

After listening around, the most reliable one turned out to be escaping marriage.

What kind of drama is this?

"Why don't you take me all the way out, even if I fail, I can still argue that I was kidnapped."

"Hehe."

Roman doesn't want to fight.

He paused and suggested: "There are still two months, you can consider what method to use, I will do some preparations first."

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Roman hummed, suddenly leaned forward, and said with a serious tone: "We are all the same now, don't miss out on what we said tonight."

"Rest assured, I understand, and don't doubt my determination to regain my freedom."

Zhou Jing also turned his face and pretended to be serious.

The two discussed the details for a while and completely determined their intention to cooperate, and the meeting ended.

Zhou Jing opened the door, and surrounded by the guards, he disappeared into the darkness.

Roman watched his back disappear, so he summoned a few confidants, closed the door and ordered.

"Enable everyone in the golden castle, all on standby, ready to receive orders at any time."

Several henchmen nodded yes.

Roman tapped on the table, pondered for a while, and said: "Also, go to contact the various tribes~IndoMTL.com~ and inform them that the plan can begin. The king has faintly sensed the threat of the tribe, so he used a new type of potion to strengthen the royal power, Cultivate a larger army. Tell each clan that it will become more and more difficult for them to become independent in the future, so they can't wait any longer.

As soon as we get our hands on the new alien blood potion formula, or a master potionist like Bill, we'll make a move! "

"Understood!" Several confidants solemnly agreed.

Roman lowered his voice and said solemnly: "In addition, let our eyeliner pay attention to Master Bill's behavior these days, and tell me all the information."

He couldn't completely trust Bill, so he still had to send someone to monitor him, for fear that Bill would sell him and hug the royal family's thighs again.

The confidants followed orders and filed out, leaving Roman alone in the room.

Roman sits behind his desk, kneading his temples, his eyes changing.

After preparing for so long, it's finally time to do it... I didn't expect a pharmacist to detonate this change. Provide you with the fastest Astral Apostle update, 097 Showdown and Co-op free reading. :.
