Astral Apostle

   Chapter 87 Appreciation

The Imperial Court of Terra is located in the inner city of the royal 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 and mutual benefit. The bridges are connected together.

   A circle of high walls separates the palace from the commoners. It is guarded by heavy troops, and outsiders cannot enter.

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, the palace castle is not golden at all, but slate blue. Banners with Tarn's coat of arms and imperial insignia hang everywhere on the outer walls.

   After wandering around in the world of alien beasts for so long, it was the first time that Zhou Jing set foot in the imperial court.

He followed Kreber into the gate of the inner city, followed the main road known as the "Road of Glory", all the way to the gate of Jinbao, where he temporarily disarmed under the supervision of the guardian of the king's city. was able to enter the golden castle.

   Evening just passed, just after nightfall, the golden castle was brightly lit, and the guards who had just changed the guard were patrolling diligently.

  The Golden Fort is heavily guarded. In order to prevent extraordinary people from sneaking in, there are a large number of different blood enhancers guarding the Golden Fort, guardians of the royal city, and royal guards.

  A regular patrol team is usually composed of a different blood enhancer with several ordinary guards, and there are sentries composed entirely of different blood enhancers guarding everywhere.

   Alien hunters are not allowed to walk around in the golden castle. Zhou Jing and Kreiber followed the two teams of king city guards all the way to the imperial conference hall.

   This was 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.

   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 King, all the former ministers, this is the imperial hunter Jace. It was he who personally stopped the atrocities of the gangsters and prevented the Deep Rock City tragedy."

  Kreiber stepped forward and introduced Zhou Jing.

   King Becky and many ministers all looked at Zhou Jing. In their knowledge, 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 good job." Becky nodded calmly: "I'm glad 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 had a look of surprise on her face and asked:

   "There are nearly forty alien blood warriors in this gang of gangsters called Sons of Alien Blood, most of them were killed by you alone?"

   Many ministers present also cast suspicious eyes.

   They've heard the report before, and that's what makes them question the most.

   Aware of the distrust of many ministers, Kreiber helped to speak and explained:

"You don't have to doubt Jace's strength. He is also one of the top elites among the hunters who have been strengthened three times. After joining the hunters of the empire for more than half a year, he has already become the strongest among the hunters of the empire. It’s not necessarily a sure win. The most important thing is that Jess still has the determination to continue strengthening. I’m very optimistic about him. Maybe he can become another five-time strengthening hunter after me!”

   Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but looked at Zhou Jing again in amazement.

   It was not easy to get Kreber's high evaluation. They didn't expect Kreber to be so optimistic about this hunter named Jace.

   An alien hunter who has determination and potential, and may reach five enhancement levels in the future, and everyone pays more attention.

Next to   , the head of the royal guard, Irene Tarn, who stood silently, also cast an interesting look.

   "Hehe, he is really a respectable old hunter. I hope your future enhancements 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:

"Jess, 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. Fortunately, you foiled their conspiracy and did not let things continue to deteriorate, otherwise the success of son of alien blood will be More people will imitate it.”

   said, Becky paused, his expression was both angry and helpless:

"But even if these gangsters fail, what happened in Deep Rock City will still have a bad impact, triggering more people's ambitions to do evil. With the first time, there will be a second time, and there may be more alien blood in the future. A newcomer of power, choose to trample the law..."

Roman agreed in a timely manner: "Yes, this is just like Jason in 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 because someone imitated him... Once this kind of thing starts, it can’t be undone.”

  Everyone nodded and resonated deeply.

   At the beginning, the assassination incident in Baiyuan City was deeply disgusting for everyone present.

   Being in the position of those in power, we must never allow our 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, more people will feel that they have this choice when they encounter things.

  The reason of defending the people is better than that of defending the river. These imperial ministers vaguely understand, 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, the initiator Jason 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.

   However, what these imperial ministers did not know was that the murderer they were looking for had come before them, but no one recognized 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:

   "No matter what, the matter of Deep Rock City will spread sooner or later, so I decided to hold a public execution, and the leader of the son of alien blood will be tried and executed 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 it is impossible to stop the spread of the news, it can only reverse the wind of rumors and emphasize the fate of the gangsters and Jace's "hero" image.

   At this time, Becky looked at Zhou Jing and showed a rare smile: "Jess, you have done a great job 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 responsibility of the imperial hunters, and I would rather execute Doton personally."

   Hearing this, Becky was a little surprised. He pondered for a few seconds, but did not refuse: "Okay, since it's a criminal you caught, it's up to you to solve it."

After   , looking at Zhou Jing's calm appearance, Becky loved it more and more, and added:

   "You're very nice, I'll keep following you."

   Zhou Jing nodded in greeting, and installed Gao Leng to the end.

   After talking about the matter, the meeting ended. Zhou Jing bid farewell to the king and others, and followed Kreber to leave the Jinbao, thinking secretly in his heart.

  ‘The king knows that there is a person 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 reveal the meaning of independent clan information, and the first time he met the king, his trust was not enough.

  Although he didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, he was appreciated by the king and let the king remember him as a character. In the future, it would be feasible to find a reason to ask for a meeting, unlike the previous failure to establish contact with the king.

  I want to reveal the conspiracy of tribal independence, there is already a channel, waiting for the opportunity to do things... Zhou Jing thought to himself.

   He has decided to pedal two boats, Bill takes the dry road of Roman, and Jason naturally takes the waterway of the Empire.

   Now the situation is not clear, just bet on both sides and hedge the risk.

   Watching Zhou Jing's back go away, Roman withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering.

   A hunter with five enhancement potential... It's a pity, although it is worth attracting, but such hunters often have firm goals and are difficult to be bought or conquered.

   And the potential is just something that hasn’t happened yet, maybe the next time he strengthens, this person will die suddenly…

  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.

   Bill, who can develop a different blood medicine, 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 ends the closed development, and must bring this talented pharmacist under his command.

  …

   A day later, the capital posted a notice to publicize the Deep Rock City Rebellion.

The news of    shocked the residents of the royal capital, and a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, which soon became the main topic of the streets and alleys.

  Because propaganda of positive influence requires a model, the empire emphasized Zhou Jing's contribution 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, 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 City was known to more people, causing a sensation all over the place.

For Zhou Jing, the most direct manifestation is that the popularity of the career deed [Rebellion in 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 There is still room for further improvement.

Zhou Jing didn't 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 roughly completed. Zhou Jing has 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 abnormal blood medicine.

   He intends to let Jason use a new type of abnormal blood medicine, which should be strengthened more than the normal abnormal blood medicine.

   There are people inside, once the research and development is successful, you can enjoy this benefit first and become the first "new style enhancer"!
