Astral Apostle

   Chapter 111 Changes and Accidents

  Due to external pressure, the administrative efficiency of the empire has greatly increased. It didn't take long for the formation of the royal family's Demon Hunting Army to be put on the agenda. Nearly 200 hunters who were willing to listen to the royal family's command were selected among the imperial hunters and incorporated into the Demon Hunting Army.

  Creber took over as the leader of the royal family's Demon Hunters, while Jason took over as the new commander of the Imperial Hunters.

   For such personnel changes, Imperial Hunters have no objection.

   After wrestling with Kreber frequently these days, Jason has already proven his combat effectiveness. According to rumors, he has become one of the strongest hunters, and he is also known as the three warriors of the empire along with Kreber and Irene.

  Although the qualifications are not deep, the hunters respect the strong. Jason is the best among the legendary hunters, and he is also trusted by the royal family, so the succession is a matter of course, and the imperial hunters are all unconvinced.

  Because Jason was taciturn in the idle state, his subjective initiative was not high, so when Zhou Jing routinely checked the recorded images in the preparatory stage of a shuttle, he found that Jason was in the upper position, so he switched the shuttle object and took Jason to handle the affairs in person.

   He made some arrangements, and promoted several hunters to serve as deputies and staff officers to assist in handling the affairs of the imperial hunters, and personally reported to King Becky, taking this opportunity to observe the changes in the court.

   Zhou Jing therefore found that Becky's complexion was not good, and the morale of the court was low. Obviously, they were all overwhelmed by Bill's running away and the independence of the tribe. . .

   Becky didn't have the energy to say more, and asked him to leave after a random order.

   Zhou Jing swaggered out of the golden castle, and the guards saluted.

   Seeing this, Zhou Jing felt a little emotional.

"According to the meaning of the royal family, I will take over as the commander of the Empire Hunter after Kreber has trained me for a few years, but the current turmoil has led to Jason's rapid rise. This is a chain reaction. Bill ran away and helped Jason. Bundle."

   This was a surprise, not in the plan.

   But let the astral apostles enter different industries or factions, and make their own influences, so as to bring benefits to each other. This is an idea that he has long ago, and this time it happened to be effective.

   He opened the panel and took a look. After taking office, he had a new achievement.

  [Trigger the achievement [Empire Hunter Commander]! ]

  [Get 2000 Astral Points! 20 Information State Particles! [Attribute Improvement - Physical Fitness (Small)]! ]

   "Although Jason is already an eternal apostle, there is no need to meet customs clearance requirements, but it is also a good thing to earn some information-state particles to fill the inventory."

   Zhou Jing was secretly happy.

   Although he has become the commander of the imperial hunter, he has not been named the chief hunter of the empire, and one of Jason's new life goals has not yet been achieved.

   But as Crabbe gets older, the title will eventually fall to him...as long as the empire exists.

  The commander of the imperial hunter, with a big reputation, has a huge force under his hand, which can be regarded as a powerful and high-ranking position.

   But Zhou Jing also understands that in fact, this power is not so amazing, because hunters have always been difficult to control, and having status does not mean that they can order imperial hunters to do anything.

   After all, power comes from obedience. Generally, he can only command imperial hunters within the scope of the hunter’s authority, and it is difficult to order hunters with instructions beyond their authority and against their will.

  Fortunately, Zhou Jing has no thoughts of doing things for the time being, and he does not intend to seek personal gain. It is enough to do the commander's duties step by step.

  Jason served in the empire, not only as a spy, but also for the empire, and did not need to deliberately help Roman or the tribal camp.

  Although Bill and Roman are relatively close at present, Zhou Jing is not going to stand on either side.

  I am a bet on both sides, the empire and the tribe will fight if they love to fight. Anyway, my two astral apostles are in positions of power in both camps. Although they are not the leaders who make decisions, they also have a certain amount of power.

   Therefore, whoever wins or loses between the two camps will not lose any money. At present, it is best to fish in troubled waters, and the main goal is to earn some information-state particles.

   This wave is called risk hedging!

   As for the longer-term plan, Zhou Jing hasn't figured it out yet, so he should focus on making some profits now.

   "Speaking of which, the current situation has changed so much, but there is still no sign of the whereabouts of alien lifeforms. Shouldn't this group of people disappear?"

   Zhou Jing couldn't help but be suspicious when he thought of this.

   On the way to doing things, he has been paying attention to whether there are people who are suspected to be alien lifeforms, but after so many shuttle cycles, he has never found any clues.

   He had to guess whether the alien lifeform left this world by some means unknown to him.

   Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Jing suddenly heard someone calling the name "Jess" behind him.

   looked back and found that it was Irene, with Princess Shu Ni by her side.

   "Irene Chief Guard, what do you have to do with me?"

   Zhou Jing asked, and at the same time glanced curiously at Shu Ni who was smiling politely beside him.

  Irene stepped forward and handed out a knife: "This is a miracle weapon, the name of the knife is 'Thunder', it can cut out lightning, just right for you."

   Zhou Jing did not reach out to take it, and said in surprise:

   "I already have a fire, why give me another knife."

   "You're used to using double knives, so I just got a pair for you." Irene said casually.

   "This time, it's still the king's reward? I don't seem to have done a good job recently, right?"

   Zhou Jing was a little puzzled. Since the last time he hunted down Bill Yang Fengyinban, the king had been very critical of the imperial hunters, so he didn't think the king would suddenly give him a reward.

  Irene shrugged and explained: "No, this is a personal gift from Princess Shuni to you, congratulations on becoming the commander of the Empire Hunter."

   Zhou Jing was a little surprised and looked at Shu Ni in surprise.

  Shuni seemed embarrassed and said with a smile, "Commander Jess, I've always heard your father mention you. I know you're a pillar of the empire, and I really want to get to know you. I hope you like this gift."

   "Uh... Since it's the princess's kindness, then I accept it, I like it very much."

   Zhou Jing was in a weird mood and took over the thunder.

   The last time I was with the princess was a few months ago, and I used Bill's body.

   Now that I see Shu Ni again, I didn’t expect a big change, not as introverted and shy as before.

   And the princess who was originally a vase actually has the authority to mobilize the miraculous weapon, and can take it out as a gift. I don’t know if it was from the king, or there is another way.

   The two chatted for a while and got to know each other, and Shu Ni and Irene left together.

   Looking at the backs of the two, Zhou Jing's heart moved.

  From the conversation just now, he found that Shu Ni and Erin were very close-this was a situation that did not exist a few months ago.

   Speaking of which, Irene is Shu Ni's aunt, and Shu Ni seems to have gotten close to Irene through this level of kinship, probably with a certain purpose.

  'It seems that the recent change has had a considerable impact on Shu Ni... I hope she is not radicalized. ’

   Zhou Jing secretly said, guessing that the main reason is probably Bill's escape from marriage, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

   He pulled out the thunder and tested it a little. The mechanism was similar to the fire, but the lightning was released.

   After the development of the three-type different blood medicine, he can release electricity by himself, which is somewhat coincident with the thunder, but the miracle weapon discharge does not consume physical strength, it is somewhat helpful, and can enhance the output.

   Now, Jason's dual swords are replaced by miracle weapons, thunder, fire, and lethality far exceed ordinary weapons, which is a pleasant surprise.

   Zhou Jing put away his double swords and settled down.

   No matter what Shu Ni's intention is, she won't take the gift if she doesn't take it.

  …

  Due to the successive independence of each tribe, the division of the empire, coupled with the standoff between the two sides and the urgent preparations for war, everyone in the country is now in danger and nervous.

  As the atmosphere became more and more tense, the troop movements of the two sides became more frequent, and more and more elites were promoted.

  Jason became the commander of the imperial hunter, and Bill also became a staff officer and the head of pharmacy in the Roman base.

The   Tera Empire did not recognize the legitimacy of tribal independence, but it did not immediately send troops to fight the rebels. If it did not let go, all the tribes would not dare to relax.

   In the atmosphere of mountains and rain, the people of the entire Terra Empire were worried, not knowing when a war would break out, or what the future situation would be like.

   Zhou Jing is also watching the situation.

   He finished the affairs of Jason after taking office, set up a placement plan, and another round of shuttle cycle, turned to Bill's side to practice sorcery.

   It has been more than three months since Bill learned sorcery. With the assistance of his practice acceleration, he has obtained 7 sorcery points, and has pointed out the skill tree of the second and third layers of "Spirit of the Wind".

  The strength has made great progress, and the spirit and energy have reached more than 30 points, which is comparable to the years of practice of normal wizards.

   But he also encountered a bottleneck. Bill's aptitude limit can only open the third-level skill tree, and it cannot be unlocked further up.

   However, there are a total of nine skills in the three-tier skill tree, all of which require 27 sorcery points, and there is still a lot of room for strengthening, so Zhou Jing is not in a hurry.

   ended this shuttle cycle, and Zhou Jing returned to his body.

  Returning to the daily routine, he is already familiar with the road, but this time the prompt popped up on the panel surprised him.

  [This campaign has ended! ]

  [Detected known astral disturbance phenomenon, coordinate calibration...]

[warn! [Alien Beast World] No. 001, the gravitational strength of the plane has fallen below the shuttle threshold, the astral convergence is over... the astral link port is closed, the time stream docking is over... The detection is completed, the current status: [Not available]]

  [Next time of astral meeting: unknown]

  [Note: If there is an Astral Apostle that has been placed in the Astral Realm of [Unavailable], then the Astral Apostle will continue to be active in the placement mode and accumulate placement benefits. But before the next meeting, the main body loses most of the connection with the apostles, cannot come consciously, cannot change the placement plan, cannot perform operations on the apostles, and the apostle files will not be updated in real time... When the astral apostle dies, the carrying information will be sent to the apostle. Earnings return, update files. ]

  [If the Astral Apostle that has been placed is "Eternal Apostle", it can consume one placement opportunity, which is regarded as death and immediately recovered from the Astral Realm where the intersection ends]

   "Huh? The Astral Intersection is over?"

   Zhou Jing was surprised, this was his first trigger.

   Thanks for the 100,000 reward of marttty's leader!
