Astral Apostle

When talking about the strange beast hunter's inferior pure problem in the past, Baron sighed and obviously hated the situation.

Zhou Jing suddenly rolled her eyes, "speaking of which, is it necessary for the lord to recruit xenoblood warrior? If you want them to be their own guards, who are you defending?"

" Who knows." Baron scratched his head, and then his face was stern: "Don't think about accepting the lord's solicitation. If you are bought for a little money, I will look down on you as well."

"That's not it. Yes."

Zhou Jing waved her hand, secretly analyzing it in her heart.

The lord recruiting transcenders as guards will definitely not be collecting stamps.

There seem to be several reasons, fear of strange beast hunters, fear of other lords, guard against risky assassinations, strengthen their own armed forces, etc...

He is quite skeptical, it was first. One lord recruited the xenoblood warrior, and the other lord took a look-oh, a good transcender, you brat what do you mean, do you want to mess with us?

So various lords followed suit one after another, recruited xenoblood warrior, started an "arms race", and just rolled it up!

'Well, although the environment of this world is united, the signs of infighting should have appeared after Terra was founded forty years. '

Zhou Jing secretly speculated.

He has inquired that the lord of the Terra Empire generally only governs a town and surrounding villages, but the source of the lord is divided into two types... If the town is rebuilt from a tribal settlement, then the lord Most of them are blood relatives of this tribe; if the town is newly built after the establishment of the empire, then the lord is probably an appointed official of the empire.

There are both the shadow of enfeoffment and the shadow of counties and counties. When he first learned about it, he felt a little strange, but now that he thinks about it, there seems to be some game in it.

When the Terra Empire was first established, it was in the form of an alliance of various tribes, not an unification. Therefore, the power of the tribe still remained in the empire and became an area with a certain degree of autonomy, but only obeyed the orders of the "Royal Family".

Rut Crowe, the lord of White Essence City, is a blood relative of a tribe, and the predecessor of White Essence City is also a settlement of a tribe. To some extent, this city and surrounding villages belong to Rut belongs to the clan, and then the imperial city.

As for the meaning of tribal blood relatives, Zhou Jing has already figured it out these days.

In the past, human beings multiplied in the form of tribes. During the long development, some clansman opened their branches and scattered leaves and formed huge families within the tribe, so they took the surname inheritance to facilitate mutual identification—— This is the origin of the blood relatives of the tribe.

Each surname represents the Great Family in a certain tribe. There are many people in the tribe and generally have a higher status in the tribe. It is equivalent to the branch of the faction in the tribe. But in Barbarian Desolate Era, because of the difficulty of survival, everyone focuses on keeping a group for warmth, and the blood relatives of the tribe are not much different from other tribe members.

After the founding of Terra, the major tribes formed alliances and merged into the country, and the living environment gradually stabilized. Some tribal blood relatives began to be active in various fields such as politics, commerce, and military.

With the advantages of a large number of family members, network support, control of tribal resources, etc., step by step, he has accumulated power and wealth, and gradually separated from the ordinary person... In Zhou Jing's view, this is the nobleman of this world The early stage of origin.

Baron doesn’t care much about politics, and only knows some furs, but Zhou Jing, based on the analysis of the known situation, feels that these tribal blood relatives that gradually form aristocratic interest groups will most likely be one of the ruling problems faced by the Terra Empire. one.

'So this kind of mixed lord system with divisions and counties, I am afraid that the Terra Empire Leader deliberately made some countermeasures...' Zhou Jing wondered.

Although strange beasts are the main threat to human beings in this world, the general environment is consistent with the outside... But he does not believe that after the establishment of a country by multiple tribes, there will be no infighting, which is not in line with the laws of history.

'Don't think about this for now...' Zhou Jing shook his head. He just habitually analyzes and feels that these are a little far away from him. Now he just wants to gain extraordinary power.

……

The town is quite lively. The three of them turned a few streets and soon came to a building. There was a wooden token with a beast head hanging on the door beside the door. There are two guards.

This is the Hunter's Workshop in White Essence City.

Compared with other lively streets, Dao Idol, it is much deserted here, and ordinary residents in the city generally don't come here.

At this moment, a cart is parked in front of the hunter's workshop. A silver-gray giant wolf's corpse is tied to the cart. A strange beast hunter carrying a lance is working with a workshop staff. bargain.

When the three of Zhou Jing were coming, the strange beast hunter subconsciously turned his head and looked at it, then suddenly smiled and raised his hand to say hello.

"Hey, Baron, meet again."

"Haha, it's you, Weiss."

Baron laughed, the two of them are obviously Familiar.

Walking to the side of the cart, Baron glanced at the giant wolf's corpse and said:

"Is there another harvest? The crescent wolf... a good prey."

The strange beast hunter known as Weiss, hearing this laughed: "Good luck, this monster wanted to slaughter me, but I lowered my head and shot it back and smashed its egg, which was easy to win. "

Speaking, Weiss glanced at Zhou Jing again, said curiously: "Who is this? White Essence City new strange beast hunter?"

Baron shook his head "His name is Jason Wood. He is a genius I met. He has followed me to exercise in the past few months. I am going to the city this time to bring him to strengthen with different blood."

"Genius? "

Weiss was very interested and looked at Zhou Jing.

"I..." Zhou Jing opened her mouth and wanted to say hello.

However, suddenly, Weiss was short in front of him, and disappeared from sight with a chuckle.

In the next instant, Zhou Jing noticed a pair of muscular arms around his waist and abdomen from behind, exploding with a strong force, trying to pull him out by the roots.

Want to give me a back fall? Is this how the hunters greet each other?

Zhou Jing almost subconsciously, his hands immediately pressed the arms that hug her waist, and then her legs were crossed, and he took a stride, one of the legs pinched Weiss’s feet behind her, not letting herself Was lifted up.

The two suddenly fell into a wrestling position.

Weiss couldn't help but laughed: "Oh boy, do you have the courage, dare to compare strength with me, a serious strange beast hunter, you..."

Halfway through, his face suddenly changed.

He suddenly discovered that with his strength, Zhou Jing couldn't even move Zhou Jing.

Although he is not a strength-type strengthening direction, his strength is also extraordinary. How can it be impossible for even an ordinary person to suppress it? !

Zhou Jing gripped Weiss's arm tightly, slowly but steadily breaking it away from her waist and abdomen.

As soon as he broke free from the hug, he suddenly let go, his body exploded back, and his shoulders slammed into Weiss's chest.

bang!

The thick muscles collided with a muffled noise.

Weiss thumped back and walked a few steps before standing still, grinning, looking at Zhou Jing in surprise.

Baron has been on the sidelines without stopping. Until now, he only took pleasure in other people's misfortune and laughed:

"How about Weiss, you're flat, don't look at Jason's different blood enhancement, You may not be as strong as him."

"...What's the situation with this guy?"

Weiss rubbed his chest, his tone astonished.

He originally wanted to try Baron’s "genius" physical fitness. It’s better to throw someone on a big horse, then shake his head and educate him, saying "the future is yours" and other encouragement. But didn't expect this result.

An ordinary person is almost stronger than him, which is outrageous!

For people with such extraordinary natural talents, if they are strengthened by different blood, wouldn't they be chasing the battle strength of the second strengthening?

Weiss's scalp is a bit numb, so I understand what Baron refers to as "genius".

At this time, Zhou Jing shook his hand and stared at Weiss: "The way you say hello is very unique."

He doesn't mind very much. Strange beast hunters are mostly martial arts, although they are just It seems a bit weird to him as an interstellar citizen, but it may be a common situation in the hunter culture that is more primordial in this world.

In the past few months, Zhou Jing has learned how to live in the countryside, and try not to use the concept of Interstellar Era to evaluate their behavior.

Weiss rubbed his chest muscles and grinned: "Haha, don't mind, I just want to see how strong you are and whether you can withstand the enhancement of the different blood... It seems you must be fine, almost I’m about to squash my chest muscles."

After that, he paused, pressed his thumb against his chest, happily said:

"I’m Weiss, Baron’s old friend. , Is also active in the vicinity of White Essence City for a long time. Maybe we will hunt side by side in the future."

"Maybe."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Baron raised his chin: "The past few days we will all stay in the city, when the time comes, see you at the Hunter Pub."

"Okay, then you do something, I Continue to sell my prey."

Weiss nodded, turned around and continued to bargain with the workshop staff.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Baron patted Zhou Jing, walked to the hunter's workshop.

……

The two enter the workshop, and the entrance is a hall. There are strange beast specimens hanging on the wall, and different strange beasts are placed on the shelves. Equipment made of materials.

The hunter's workshop is responsible for processing the prey submitted by the strange beast hunter, making xenoblood potion, making various equipment, and then providing it to the strange beast hunter.

According to the laws of the Terra Empire, every town must have a hunter's workshop. The central government of the empire will allocate funds, but the lord is also responsible for maintaining it and needs to be responsible for a part of the funding.

Empire’s most important support for the workshop is actually to provide technicians.

Because not every town can recruit qualified xenoblood potion masters and artisans, the important technicians in each workshop are trained by the empire or transferred from large tribe artisans and assigned by airborne...In other words , The level is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Seeing someone coming, the workshop staff behind the counter immediately walked up and greeted them with a smile: "Two hunters, do you need anything?"

Baron nodded: "I am Baron of Frostwood Village. I have submitted prey many times here. Here is my record. I plan to change the xenoblood potion."

hearing this, the workshop staff asked two people After a while, I went to the back room to report.

After a while, a thin man walked out, wearing a fine robe, seeming to be of extraordinary status.

"Baron, I see you again, I can hardly remember when you last visited." When the thin man saw Baron, he opened his arms and made a welcome gesture, laughing. .

"I was injured some time ago and I am recuperating."

Baron explained, and then introduced to Zhou Jing in a low voice, saying that this person in front of him is the Chief- of White Essence City Workshop. In-Charge.

"It turned out to be like this." Chief-In-Charge nodded at the workshop, and then changed the subject: "You said you want a new xenoblood potion. Are you finally ready to try a second boost? "

"It's not me, it's strengthening him." Baron pointed to Zhou Jing.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge's eyes fell on Zhou Jing, said curiously:

"This is?"

"Jason Wood..." Zhou Jing had to introduce herself again.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge looked at Zhou Jing with a little curiosity, but didn't say anything. After a brief introduction, he then agreed to Baron's request.

"Baron, you have seven records in the workshop. You can get the potion anytime you want. Come with me. I will show you the inventory and see which potion you want to choose."

p>

After that, Chief-In-Charge of the workshop made a please gesture and took the entire group to the warehouse of the workshop.

Along the way through the winding corridor, a few people came to a warehouse full of boxes.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge picked up a thick notepad from the shelf entering the door, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Baron and Zhou Jing.

"Now we have eleven xenoblood potion in stock. The materials used and possible strengthening directions are written on it. See which one you want."

The xenoblood potion mainly depends on what inventory is in the hunter's workshop. Of course, if it is not what you want, you can make an appointment and wait until the workshop is in stock.

Or more directly, hunt down the favorite strange beast yourself, and bring it to the workshop for processing.

Zhou Jing glanced at the list.

Iron-clad beast potion, turnback dragon potion, kiwi bird potion...

In addition to physical exercise these days, he also learned some strange beast knowledge from Baron. At this time, most of The strange beast's name can be recognized.

"How is the quality of this batch?" Baron asked casually while looking through it.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge: "Three are novice works, seven are works by proficient Potion Master, and one is a Potion Master who performs exceptionally well with good quality."

"Then we have good luck." Baron laughed and turned his head to look towards Zhou Jing: "Look, see if that high-quality xenoblood potion is the strengthening direction you want, if there is no problem, choose it Now."

These days, Zhou Jing has heard Baron talk about the mechanism of different blood enhancement. Choosing the first xenoblood potion is very important, and it almost determines the future enhancement route.

The first potion Baron used, the main strengthening direction is strength and defense. It is good at frontal meet force with force, and it is a material for MT.

In addition, the better the quality of the medicine, the less likely it is to inherit the weakness of the strange beast.

Zhou Jing glanced at the materials of this high-quality medicine.

——Lightning Leopard Potion.

This is a strange beast that is known for its speed and burst, as well as the special ability of discharge. It belongs to the ranks of high-risk strange beasts. The strengthening direction is agility, reaction, explosive power, and a certain resistance to electric shock.

'Gao Min Gao's explosive route...looks good. '

Zhou Jing is a little excited.

Compared with pure strength, it is agile and fast in battle, and may be better to use.

But...

Zhou Jing pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly said:

"Baron, this request may be a bit sudden, but...I can take two A potion? Just as I borrowed it from you."

Baron was taken aback.

"Do you want two xenoblood potions? What are you doing with them?"

It’s useless if you take too much, you can only use one...is it possible that I want to continue Strengthen twice? Isn't that just for death?

Even if you have an extraordinary natural talent, that wouldn't work!

Seeing Baron’s expression of "you are not kidding me", Zhou Jing knew that the other party would be wrong, and immediately waved his hand to explain:

"I don’t plan to continuously strengthen , I just want one more choice... You are willing to change a potion for me, I already owe you a favor, this second one, I definitely can’t use you for nothing, as I borrowed it."

Lightning Leopard Potion, he really liked it, but he didn't plan to use it directly.

The danger of xenoblood potion is still unclear. He still decided to get another xenoblood potion to satisfy Ross’s wishes, so that this loyal entourage can get the year for something even in dreams trial. Opportunities for medicine and make contributions to the organization.

I will look at the effect next to me and what my performance will be after taking the medicine, so I can know it in my heart.

Although "Jason Wood" is dead, the ability can still be inherited, but using a new vest to reconnect with Baron, and mix it up to the point where the other party is willing to exchange potions for himself, and it will cost a lot Energy, so Zhou Jing feels that he should be more careful the first time he faces the strengthening of the different blood.

Baron touched his bald head, but still didn't quite understand Zhou Jing's reasons.

What's the point of having one more choice? Isn't the best potion used in the end anyway?

But he didn't delve into it either-since the world view was subverted by Zhou Jing, this has been his habit of Zhou Jing.

"Well, just treat it as if you borrowed it...Although I still don't understand what you mean, as long as you don't use the potion continuously." Baron agreed.

He doesn't really matter. On the contrary, he has accumulated a lot of records, and he does not plan to strengthen it again, so it is no problem to change Zhou Jing to another one.

Besides, they said it was borrowed and will be repaid in the future, so Baron is even more okay.

Zhou Jing was not sure whether Baron would agree or not, but when she saw that she hadn't refused, she let go.

He took another look at the list, then opened the mouth and said: "Then give me this Lightning Leopard Potion, and...Dark Fox Potion."

Most The strengthening direction of xenoblood potion is all qualities such as strength, endurance, agility, and Dark Fox is a strange beast that specializes in hiding and stealth, and the strengthening direction is special.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge quickly pulled out two wooden boxes from the warehouse and opened the display.

There is a bright red potion in each box, and the name of the potion is marked on the bottle.

"Here are the two bottles of xenoblood potion you want." Chief-In-Charge of the workshop gave the box to Zhou Jing and asked: "Can you strengthen it now? We can provide a room."

"No, I'll go back and prepare."

Zhou Jing shook his head.

Use xenoblood potion as long as you drink it, there is no other process, so there is not much difference between using it privately and using it here... it is all right, and there is no need to save it, and the problem cannot be cured.

Go back to find Ross to test the medicine, so you don't need to let Baron know for the time being.

Workshop Chief-In-Charge said with a smile: "Well, I look forward to seeing you again...Of course, you who have become a strange beast hunter."

" Thanks." Zhou Jing nodded.

I looked down at the xenoblood potion in the box, my heart was beating.

The "key" is already in my hands.

Next, just try to use this "key" to open the door of Transcendent World.

...

It was already afternoon after changing the potion. The two left the workshop and found a hotel in the city.

Baron paid for the room for three days and looked back towards Zhou Jing:

"You should rest first. I will go out to meet a few friends. You'd better wait for me to come back. Then use the potion, so I can help you watch it so that no one is disturbed."

"Well, I also need some time to think about it and adjust the status."

Zhou Jing nodded, it's pretty serious.

Watching Baron leave, Zhou Jing took Ross back to her room, refused the special service suggested by the hotel maid, and closed the door.

For a time, there were only two people in the room.

Zhou Jing confirmed that the doors and windows are closed, and then he found out the Dark Fox Potion and handed it to Ross. He said with earnest words:

"brother, now it is you who contribute to the organization It's time."

Ross glanced at Zhou Jing, then looked down towards the potion in his hand, without moving.

If there is no objection, it is agreed!

Zhou Jing pressed Ross’s shoulders hard, and seriously said:

"Hey, I got bored."

Ross was silently nodded and pulled out the cork. Raise your head and drink up the Dark Fox Potion in one gulp.

Zhou Jing kept her eyes on the side, waiting for the next reaction.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Ross still stood upright and nothing happened.

Zhou Jing:(눈_눈)

Ross:(o_O)

The two big eyes staring at small eyes, Ross's eyes are quite innocent.

No response? Is the potion expired, or is the follower physique special?

Zhou Jing scratched his head.

Just when he was about to check if something went wrong

Crack,crack--

A intensive skeleton noise was uploaded from Ross.

His face quickly bulged with black blood vessels, twisting like a small snake, and his body twitched from time to time, like an unconscious nerve reflex.

However, Ross is expressionless, his eyes always fixed on Zhou Jing.

If it weren’t for the details, Zhou Jing would almost think this was a cold-blooded killer without pain or emotion.

"It seems that it takes a certain amount of metabolic time for the medicine to take effect! The big one is coming!"

Zhou Jing suddenly came to his mind.

He quickly took a research mentality and carefully observed Ross's physical changes.

In the past three months, I have grown rapidly, but Ross’s attributes have not increased at all, and are at the same level as the initial person.

The stronger the body, the higher the success rate of using xenoblood potion. Although it is not completely impossible for an ordinary person to perform heterogeneous enhancement, the success rate is very slim.

However, for an aptitude like Ross, when he grows up naturally, will he go in the Year of the Monkey?

So xenoblood potion is such an extraordinary item, don’t need it for nothing!

Zhou Jing asked Ross to be the first to perform heterogeneous enhancement. In addition to the purpose of testing the medicine, it also made Ross a gamble.

Anyway, every Astral Apostle has a chance to resurrect the entourage for free. If Ross belches because of this, he can also pull it back once.

And if it succeeds, wouldn't it be earned?

If you win, you will get a powerful follower. If you fail, you still have the original dumb ratio.

There is such a chance of trial and error, don't bet on when to wait at this time!

……

Time passed by one minute after another, and the dim sky outside the window was gradually replaced by night.

The raised blood vessels on Ross's face gradually calmed down, and his body stopped twitching.

During this process, the muscles on his body have grown vaguely, but they are not too swollen. If you don't look carefully, it will not be easy to notice.

Zhou Jing poked Ross's chest muscles. It feels different from the shriveled hands before. Now it is full of elasticity.

"Is this a success?"

Ross's gaze still follows Zhou Jing, nodded by an insignificant degree.

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised, and opened the entourage's attribute panel to take a look.
