Astral Apostle

  Chapter 59 Unexpected Information

   Zhou Jing took Ross, and under the cover of the night and the house, he walked through the streets and alleys with ease.

   A group of alien-blooded guards persevered in pursuit, but they couldn't keep up with Zhou Jing's speed and were gradually thrown away.

   ran with all his strength for a while, and the rapid bell suddenly rang throughout the city.

  clang clang——

The    guards sounded the alarm, alarming the entire town.

   Teams of poorly dressed guards rushed out of the barracks and hurriedly deployed their defenses.

   However, the area of ​​the town is so large that even if an alarm is issued, the chasing troops will not be able to reach Zhou Jing, and the defenders of the city wall are limited in number and cannot be fully intercepted.

   Soon after the alarm sounded, Zhou Jing had already run under the city wall.

   This section was sparsely deployed, and there were only a few guards. Looking through the crenel, they also found Zhou Jing and the two.

   Zhou Jing climbed up the aisle of the city wall and turned to look at the guards next to him.

   Several guards saw this, holding their weapons and showing their teeth and claws, as if they would rush up at any time, but the distance was slowly pulled away as they moved forward, and they all mastered the essence of spacewalking.

   Zhou Jing's mouth twitched, he ignored a few people, and led Ross over the wall and walked away.

   Several guards watched the two disappear into the thick night, with expressions of annoyance on their faces.

   After a while, many alien-blooded guards chased after the city wall. Hearing that the thief had already carried the lord and ran away, the guards did not play a role at all, and he was immediately furious.

   "Why don't you stop?!"

   "Damn, if you stop, we'll be there!"

  The alien blood guards shouted angrily.

  The guards listened to the accusations obediently, on the surface they were sincere and fearful, and they rolled their eyes secretly.

   laughed to death, didn't want to stop at all.

  The alien-blooded guards seemed to hate that iron could not become steel, and scolded the guards for a while, then went out of the city after a symbolic chase for a while, feeling that it was almost done, and then returned with an expression of lack of success.

   On the surface, they accused the guards of not stopping the thief, but in fact they were secretly glad that the thief was not stopped.

   Because in the process of chasing, they have calmed down.

   The enemy is suspected to have been strengthened three times... or forget it.

  Everyone made a show at the scene, the meaning was good, and they showed their best efforts, and then went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

   As for Root...good luck to him.

   On the other side, many town residents were awakened by the alarm, went to the street to observe, whispered to each other to inquire about the situation, and were shocked when they learned that the lord had been sneaked in and kidnapped.

  hoo, finally there is a hero who walks the path for heaven!

As long as    Root exists, Baiyuan City will become more and more depressed, but he is still the lord regardless of the loss of the residents of Baiyuan City. Many urban residents have long been dissatisfied with this. However, the Empire did not act, they were powerless.

   Hearing about this all of a sudden, most of the citizens were not angry at all, but wanted to celebrate with their crowns.

   As word of mouth spread, the news of Root's kidnapping spread like a hurricane throughout the city that night.

   Many people secretly prayed for Root.

  ——Please be sure to tear up the ticket!

  …

   After leaving Baiyuan City, Zhou Jing ran with Ross for a while, and soon found that the pursuers had given up.

   "Stop chasing so soon, tsk, it seems that Root is really unpopular."

   Zhou Jing pouted, took Rose to a hidden area in the wild, put down the unconscious Root, and woke him up.

  Lute opened his eyes and saw Zhou Jing's face again, he panicked, sat on the ground and moved back hastily, just wanting to stay away from Zhou Jing, incoherent:

   "How could you be alive, I saw you die! What the **** are you!"

   He couldn't figure out why Jason was able to come back to life. This has broken his three views. His mind was a mess, and he couldn't think at all.

   Zhou Jing grabbed Root back under his crotch, raised his eyebrows and said:

   "Do you think the matter is over and the dead will not come back to settle accounts?"

  Root trembled like a chaff. Facing Jason who was beyond his own understanding, his psychological defense was completely broken.

   He regarded Zhou Jing as a life-threatening ghost, and there was only fear in his heart, and no other thoughts.

   "You, what do you want?"

   "I ask, you answer, cooperate honestly, or my friend will be happy to do something to you."

   Zhou Jing pointed at Ross and said casually:

   "He is proficient in more than 100 kinds of torture methods, and can definitely help you understand your own body structure."

   Root turned his head to look at Ross, and immediately believed... This expressionless face must be a ruthless man who kills without blinking!

   Zhou Jing asked what he wanted to know.

   Root has been frightened to break his defenses, his brain has shut down, he basically asked what he asked and answered, and he had no courage to resist.

   After a while, Zhou Jing asked the truth about the fact that Root sent someone to kill him, as well as the deeper inside story.

   "...So, you secretly conveyed benefits for the tribe and accumulated strength in order to respond to Roman's call to rebel and split the empire one day and seek independence?"

   Zhou Jing blinked, secretly surprised.

  Because of Root's overreaction at the beginning, he suspected that there was an insider, but he didn't know before that the lord of a remote place like Root was actually involved in a rebellion plan that seemed to involve a very wide range.

   The leader of this rebellion plan was a guy named "Roman", who was also the backer behind Root. He held a high position in the court of the Terra Empire. Zhou Jing heard this name for the first time.

   All the tribal lords who participated in this rebellion plan, using Roman's plan as a link, formed an indirect alliance with each other, waiting for a day when they would rise up together.

  Root knows only part of the list, not all the people involved in the project.

   Zhou Jing asked carefully and got a general understanding of the motives of these tribal lords.

  Empire was established by the alliance of tribes, but now it has been secretly trying to weaken the inherent tribal power, and the empire has replaced the original position of the tribe, absorbing a lot of resources, and its strength is changing.

  Many tribes felt resentful, believing that with everyone’s support, the empire was established, but now there is a tendency to hide everything, so they decided to respond.

The Terra Empire has been established for more than 40 years, and the threat of alien beasts still exists, but the living environment has improved a lot. Each tribe believes that it is no longer necessary to form a group, and they are increasingly dissatisfied with the empire on their heads. Considering the factors, many tribal lords have the idea of ​​getting rid of the imperial rule.

It is not necessary to overthrow the royal family, it will hurt both sides, and the tribes in the alien world don't really value the so-called "throne"... It has only been 40 years since the tribal era entered the imperial era, and the legality of the royal family's rule has not been completely established. stand up.

   Every tribe that has survived from the barbaric era to the present can be regarded as "orthodox".

   Because of their support, the empire was established. If they are all independent, can the rule of the empire be justified?

  Because of similar judgments, each tribe decided to no longer obey the empire, and planned to become kings and become fully autonomous, get rid of the leadership of the imperial family, and then pass the offensive and defensive alliances.

   "Do you want to split a unified regime into a bunch of small regimes, each making decisions..."

   Zhou Jing was thoughtful.

   This situation can be said in a simple way, it can be understood as... All the tribes including the imperial family invested together to open a company, everyone is an investor, and the company is helmed by the imperial family.

   And now, the person at the helm of the company wants to turn the company into a one-man government and dilute everyone's shares, so the various investors quit and plan to withdraw their capital and start their own company... If you think about it this way, the situation seems to be clear.

   Zhou Jing can understand the thoughts of each tribe. Judging from the situation in the alien world, maybe this kind of independence really has a good chance of success.

   But what Zhou Jing was curious about was the motive of this lead "Roman".

   After lobbying so many tribal lords, he secretly raised a team and planned to split the empire... Is this person a careerist? What benefits does he get from it?

  Only listening to Root's description without personal contact, Zhou Jing had difficulty establishing a clear image of this Roman.

   Zhou Jing shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and asked about the short-headed man... In contrast, he was more concerned about the short-headed man's origins.

   However, Root didn't know about it, he only knew that there was a force behind the inch-headed man, who had a cooperative relationship with Roman, who was also a secret guard sent by Roman to protect him.

The intersection of    Root and the mysterious forces behind the short-headed man is limited to providing some supplies every year, such as food, ores, herbs and other things.

   The way of handover is often to transport materials to different locations. After Root's people leave, this mysterious force will send people to take things away, and the two sides do not meet.

   But since the death of the inch-headed man, his connection with that mysterious force has also been cut off.

   "Since the handover is on your side, that mysterious force must have a base nearby..."

   Zhou Jing frowned and pondered.

  Unfortunately, Root doesn't know the location at all, so he can't find it, looking for a needle in a haystack.

   The real origin of the inch-headed man, even Root does not know. However, he somehow got a clue.

  The ambitious man named Roman has a deeper connection with the forces behind the inch-tou man, and he must know more things.

   Zhou Jing asked about the things he cared about and got the information he wanted.

  After he drained Root's information, he was not interested in a mouth-cannon, and cut the man's throat with a knife.

  A blood line appeared.

   Root widened his eyes and covered his bleeding neck, a look of pain on his face.

   has been guarding against the living, but never thought that he would eventually die in the hands of a "dead"...

  Inexplicably, he was a little relieved.

   After suffering for more than half a year, I was worried every day, like a walking dead... Maybe only by dying in the hands of this undead can I escape from the nightmare...

  Root fell to the ground, feeling the passing of life, the past appeared in front of his eyes, but it seemed like something from a previous life, and he slowly closed his eyes.

   Zhou Jing didn't look at Root's corpse again, and didn't let him go.

   Withdrawing the knife into the sheath, he pondered to himself.

   "Someone wants to split the empire... Roman..."

   To be honest, whether these lords are fighting for independence or not, it has little to do with what the empire and clans are going to do in the end.

   Both sides have their own reasons, and he doesn't have any sense of belonging to the Terra Empire, and he doesn't care that much.

   Zhou Jing was thinking about how to make use of this information when he accidentally learned about it, and find a way to find an opportunity to earn resources from this incident...

   "In the eyes of outsiders, I am still a dead person, and it is not suitable for me to appear in the surrounding area, so as not to be recognized by my former hunter companions.

   It seems that it is time to leave the White Plains City area... Maybe go to the capital to get close to the core of power, and the information I got can be of value... And Roman is in the capital, and if you want to contact him, you have to go there. "

   Zhou Jing's eyes flashed.

   In addition, the capital has concentrated a lot of resources, and can access more resources of alien blood medicine and hunter's breath, and it is very safe.

   - Maybe there is a good place for the Eternal Apostle to hang up and grow.

   Push the book "I really don't want to fight with gods"
