Astral Apostle

   Chapter 92 This wave, this wave is called seduction

  The king arranged a room for Bill in the main castle, and even built a pharmacy table specially, and let people bring a whole set of pharmaceutical tools from the workshop as Bill’s exclusive workbench.

   From now on, Bill doesn't even need to go to the workshop to check in and go to work. Instead, he does research in the gold castle. If he wants any materials, he will have them transported directly from the workshop.

   Seeing that King Jinwu Zangjiao's determination was so firm, Zhou Jing had to temporarily accept the arrangement and live in peace.

   In the next two days, accompanied by the two guards Harder and Lake, he carefully walked around the Golden Fort, quietly recording the topographic details into the panel records.

   In addition, knowing that his "chief pharmacist" was staying, many blood relatives of the royal family and court ministers came to visit one after another these days, all with the idea of ​​establishing a good relationship.

   Zhou Jing refused to come, and he happily met a lot of people. When the visitors left, he gave each of them an energy potion as a gift.

  Most people pretended to be squeamish and evaded, and happily accepted the gift, and some even quietly asked if they could help their friends get more.

On this day, Zhou Jing, as always, was walking dogs and hawks surrounded by guards, just like a **** who led Huang Qingcang. When walking through a corridor, he met Roman who was also walking. It seems to have met by chance.

   "What a coincidence, Master Bill." Roman smiled and greeted: "Remember me?"

   "Haha, Minister Roman, of course I remember that the last time we met was a few months ago. We had a good chat. I always wanted to meet and chat with you again." Zhou Jing took the initiative to release his goodwill.

   Feeling Zhou Jing's enthusiasm, Roman was a little surprised.

  The two had only seen each other once, and it was a few months apart. He thought that Bill had been too busy to forget him, but he did not expect that he left such a deep impression on each other.

   Could it be that he is so charismatic that Bill thinks he is a good match?

  Roman was overjoyed, he felt that he had made a good start, and his tone was close:

"It's the same with me. When I saw you at the time, I felt kind. I heard that you lived in Jinbao two days ago. I wanted to visit, but I have some things at hand. I met you on the way..."

  Zhou Jing realized Roman's goodwill, smiled secretly in his heart, and responded cordially on the surface.

   He knew the details of Roman Reigns, and knew that Roman Reigns came to contact him mostly to try to win over him. His current wave was higher, and he just took advantage of the other party's behavior to seduce Roman Reigns in turn.

  The two stopped in the corridor and chatted, each with their own thoughts and meanings, and this wave became a two-way run.

   The lack of thought and unhappiness did not avoid suspicion. He stood around with the guards with their backs to the two, seemingly guarding, but actually listened to the content of the conversation between the two.

  Roman tried his best to use his knowledge, and he talked all over the world and chatted hotly.

  Under Zhou Jing's deliberate enthusiasm, he consciously got closer to Zhou Jing and said with a smile:

"I thought you would achieve success sooner or later, but I didn't expect it so soon. The king appointed you as chief pharmacist, invited you to stay in the golden castle, and even wanted his daughter to marry you. Such an appreciation is amazing, I I haven't congratulated you yet, from now on you will be the top figure in the empire."

   Hearing the words, Zhou Jing's heart moved. Instead of showing happiness, he was slightly melancholy:

   "Yeah, I didn't expect the king to "value" me so much, alas, I only have gratitude in my heart."

   He deliberately accentuated his words.

  Others didn't realize what it was, just taking it literally, but Roman kept noticing the change in Zhou Jing's face, and couldn't help but startled slightly.

   This emotional reaction... It seems that Bill is not very happy to get the treatment that ordinary people can't ask for?

  The royal family's bid didn't impress Bill? Could it be that Bill, despite being a profit-seeking generation, places more importance on freedom and realizes the real goal of the royal family's house arrest, so he doesn't like the benefits given by the royal family?

   Could it be that he really has a show? !

  Roman's eyes lit up.

   No wonder he made up so many brains. With the guards monitoring him, he felt that even if Bill was dissatisfied, he would not dare to express it clearly. He felt that he could only analyze the other party's true thoughts from Bill's detailed performance.

  Roman suppressed the restlessness in his heart and continued to laugh:

"Yeah, the king is really generous to you, he has taken care of all your future needs, no lack of wealth, no lack of power, so that you can live comfortably and lack nothing, it's not like we have to worry about all kinds of affairs every day. ."

   Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Minister Roman, what do you think of wealth and power?"

  Roman was taken aback by the question. He couldn't figure out what Zhou Jing meant, and he said after deliberation, "It's all about the control of resources... The things that one person can use and the manpower that one can command are one's wealth and power."

   Zhou Jing nodded and shook his head again:

   "You are right, but not entirely right. In my opinion, power is the greatest wealth and power. In other words, only by having power can you maintain your own wealth and power."

  Roman raised his brows, and the two guard captains Harder and Lake also turned their heads and looked at Zhou Jing strangely.

   At this time, without waiting for others to speak, Zhou Jing continued to speak with emotion:

"Don't look at me, I like money very much and pursue wealth, but in my heart, I have always had a dream, that is, to gain extraordinary power like the alien blood warriors, to have a powerful body like them, and to be able to do all kinds of magical things. Thing... This is also the original intention of my research on alien blood medicine.

  Unfortunately, I didn't have the guts to drink the alien blood potion that I made, and I wouldn't dare to gamble even if there was only a small chance of failure... Maybe the extraordinary power will never be for a coward like me. Alas, maybe I'm too greedy, how can there be a way in this world to gain power without risking your life? "

  No...really.

  Roman's eyes flashed, and he stared at Zhou Jing.

   When I said just now, Zhou Jing had yearning on his face, and his eyes were full of the brilliance of dreams, but after speaking, he seemed to feel that he was whimsical, for fear of being laughed at, his face became embarrassed... The acting skills were quite in place.

   Seeing this, Roman's mind came alive.

   It turns out that Bill's pursuit is not only a worldly interest, but actually a person who desires power... Roman is not surprised, there are too many people in the world who want power but dare not take risks.

   For most people, this is daydreaming, and it is no different from imagining a windfall and getting rich directly.

  The difference with Bill is that even if he dares not take risks to gain power, he can allow more people to gain power and make contributions far beyond his own desires.

   The extraordinary power that can be obtained without risking his life like a different blood warrior, Roman really knows - he himself is such an example, mastering a power called "witchcraft", which is a secret he has been hiding for many years.

  ‘This chip might impress Bill? ’

   Roman's heart was up and down, and he felt that he had obtained key information.

   He didn't doubt that this was Bill's deliberate temptation. Bill couldn't know that he had the power of witchcraft, and naturally he couldn't try him with words.

  's mind was spinning rapidly. After thinking about it, Roman calmed down and didn't plan to use this chip to win over Bill for the time being.

  Witchcraft power is his personal secret and cannot be revealed easily, and at present he is not sure if Bill is worth revealing the secret himself.

   In addition, who knows if Bill is just talking, he may not be moved by this chip. And even if they were moved, people might be skeptical, fearful, etc., and would rather be content with the status quo rather than offend the royal family, so it would be a waste of money.

   Most importantly, Roman is not sure if Bill is the king's bait for fishing law enforcement, to catch out the members of the court who privately woo Bill, so as to determine who can't be trusted and who has dissent.

   However, vigilance is only out of habit, Roman tends to trust Bill, and is quite satisfied with the harvest of this tentative contact.

   In this wave, he found at least two entry points to win over Bill:

   First, Bill advocates freedom, rejects house arrest, and may be dissatisfied with the king's arrangement. The second is Bill's desire for power, but he doesn't want to risk it...

   Seize these two needs and solve Bill's problem, maybe you can take advantage of the situation and take away the leeks trapped in the field by the royal family!

  Roman's thoughts flew around, but his face showed no expression. He suppressed his inner excitement and continued to chat with Zhou Jing.

   After chatting for another ten dollars, Roman made excuses and left in a hurry.

   Now that he has a direction, he rushes back to figure out a new way to win over.

   On the other side, Zhou Jing smiled and said goodbye to him, watching the back of Roman quickly leave, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

   He could see that Roman received the information he deliberately released, and the big fish took the bait.

  I know the details of Roman's secret opposition to the royal family, and know that Roman is an external force, but Roman is not aware of this.

   Therefore, in Roman's view, it is impossible for Bill to seek his help. He learned that all the information was due to him, and he would not suspect that Zhou Jing deliberately disclosed it.

The speaker is intentional and the listener is intentional. Because of the different information they have, Roman can accurately receive the information he wants to release, so he is not afraid that the guards listening next to him will understand the subtext—these guards who are monitoring do not know that the two are in their eyelids. At the bottom, a key information transfer was completed.

   Zhou Jing did this to give Roman a hope of winning him, and to make Roman feel that there is still a chance to "conquer" him.

  With such external help, I have a better chance of getting out of the house arrest situation of the royal family.

   In addition, with the example of Lynn, Zhou Jing suspects that Roman is also a wizard, and he is several grades stronger than Lynn.

  If you can learn more secrets about witchcraft from Roman, it is naturally more reliable than Lynn's wild way.

   'If he is careful enough, without months of investigation, probing and confirmation, he will not come to a showdown with me... It seems that we can only wait and see when Roman Reigns will make further moves...'

   Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

  …

   After talking with Roman, everything was calm and did not attract attention, and the bodyguards were only regarded as a normal social interaction.

   Two days later, the king summoned Bill and said that he had adopted his suggestion and selected three potion enhancers among the imperial hunters. In the end, three people were willing to try it, so he asked him to check.

   As soon as Zhou Jing came to the living room, he saw three hunters standing in the center of the room, one of whom was the No. 2 Apostle Jason who was being placed.

   "Master Bill, here you are."

   King Becky was also in the room. As soon as he saw Bill coming, he put away his majestic face and greeted him with a smile.

   "Your Majesty the King, Irene Chief Guard." Zhou Jing greeted them politely.

   Becky waved his hand and said:

   "Don't be so polite, let's talk business, they are willing to use new-style potions, but since this is the first time, I'm worried that something will happen, so I want to ask you for any advice. By the way, let me introduce you, this is..."

   Becky opened his mouth to introduce the hunters. Except for Jace, the other two hunters were secondary enhancements, so they were not too familiar.

   When it was Jace's turn, Becky stopped, smiled and said, "I won't introduce this one, you should be familiar with him."

   "Yes, Jace and I are old acquaintances."

   Zhou Jing is not surprised, many people know about this matter, and the king must have investigated it.

   He grinned at Jason and pretended to be polite:

   "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

   "Not bad." Jason's words were short, and his emotional reactions were generally few in the placement mode.

   Zhou Jing glanced at the other two and said loudly: "Do you know the effect of this new medicine? It can grant special abilities to alien beasts, but the fatality rate of failure is higher than the original version. Are you sure there is no problem?"

  Jason was the first to answer, expressionless: "No problem."

   The other two also immediately took a stand.

   Zhou Jing nodded and said in a serious tone:

   "Okay, because this potion is quite special, so I need to know what different blood potions you have taken before. According to your previous enhancements, I can screen out the special abilities that suit you and customize them."

   After finishing speaking, Zhou Jing asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and asked the three to write down the past blood potions.

  Although he knew about Jason's strengthening route, he wasn't pretending, he was still a bit ethical, and he didn't plan to fool the other two hunters.

   Soon Zhou Jing got three pieces of paper, glanced at them, and put them away.

   At this time, Zhou Jing remembered one thing and looked back at King Becky: "Your Majesty, I want to ask, do you plan to let them strengthen under the surveillance of others?"

   Becky hummed without denying it.

   On the one hand, he wanted the pharmacist to observe the strengthening process of the three-type potion, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the hunter would run away after getting the new potion... The original potion did not matter, but he was worried about the leakage of the new potion.

   Zhou Jing shook his head: "I suggest not to do this. It's better to let them strengthen according to their own habits. This is helpful. If a person who strengthens the habit alone is watched, it may affect the success rate."

   "There is such a saying, why haven't I heard of it?" Becky frowned, doubting it.

   "I developed all the medicines. Believe me, no one knows the new medicine better than me."

   Zhou Jing spread his hands confidently.

   Becky hesitated for a while before agreeing: "Okay, then listen to you."

   Hearing this, Zhou Jing's face remained calm, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

   He almost forgot about this, if Jason failed and died suddenly and was seen, then he would no longer be able to continue to be an imperial hunter as "Jess", and he had to implement the private strengthening plan.

   Of course, it is still a bit risky. Even if Jason is killed quietly, the re-launch will take a certain period of time, which will make the king wonder if he ran away with a new type of potion.

If it really happened, I'm afraid it's hard to explain. Maybe we can make a big move and let Jason recognize Roman as the eldest brother. Bill hugged the royal family's thigh and changed the target of the two boats... Zhou Jing shuttled through these days, The more handy, the better understand what it means to act flexibly.

   Instructed the three hunters to talk to each other, and Zhou Jing ended the meeting.

   Right now, the three of them only have intentions, not to strengthen them right away. It is necessary to give the three of them time to adjust their state... When someone feels that they are ready, they can apply for the medicine at any time.

  The guards sent the three away from the Jinbao. Zhou Jing watched this scene, rolled his eyes, and said secretly:

   "You can't let Jason strengthen in placement mode. If you don't do it, you will be a fart. You should wait for the next shuttle cycle to switch to the Star Apostle, and wait until I get on Jason's body before applying for enhancement."
