Astral Apostle Chapter 172

Chapter 171 - Attribute Breaking 100 (1)

After deliberately revealing his item analysis talent, things changed significantly.

As the news spread, soon, the entire workshop knew about Zhou Jing’s “talent.”

Over the past few days, Zhou Jing could feel the complicated gazes of the other craftsmen. They were no longer looking for someone who screwed them over but at an unattainable existence.

Many craftsmen had also vaguely heard rumors that the workshop had decided to let Zhou Jing take on a special position in the future and become the only person appointed by the workshop to test potions.

In the future, all the potions created by others would be handed over to Zhou Jing to taste and measure. This meant that he was no longer just a craftsman, but the “important research equipment” of the Empire Workshop, which was above everyone else.

As long as he did not lose this talent, Bill would always have such a special status.

This was no longer a matter of envy or jealousy. The unreachable gap in talent made one lose the will to chase after him. It was as if Bill had suddenly turned from a hated Competitive King who screwed them over into a story told by a bystander.

Zhou Jing did not pay too much attention to the thoughts of his colleagues in the workshop. After revealing his “talent,” he submitted the Sword-Tailed Eagle Potion and also accepted another mission to improve the blood potion. He continued to farm missions and obtain more recipes for free.

After a few days, Zhou Jing was once again visited by the higher-ups of the workshop. They said that they wanted to bring him to see someone.

“Who wants to see me?”

Zhou Jing put down the herbs he was grinding and turned to look at them, his tone curious.

The Governing Officer forced a smile. “The King wants to see you.”

The King! Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up.

His hard work had finally attracted the attention of the top echelons of this world.

However, it was actually the Terra King… Not only did he catch a fish, but it was a humongous one!

After using three Apostles to travel back and forth in the Mutant World for more than a year, he finally met the ruler of the country.

Upon coming into contact with the core of authority, he would finally step into a new level…

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Zhou Jing’s mind. He deliberately put on a terrified and honored expression, like a commoner meeting the ruler of a country for the first time.

“What should I do when I meet the King?”

“Don’t be afraid. Just talk normally. The King just wants to know more about you.”

The higher-ups of the workshop took turns to comfort him. After seeing that Zhou Jing had “calmed down,” they brought him along.

The group walked out of the workshop and arrived at the main house of the Imperial Hunter Base. At this moment, there were a large number of guards guarding this place, as well as many strong Mutant Blood Warriors standing guard. They were all Royal Guardians as well as the Palace Guards.

On the training ground opposite the main house, many hunters were sitting, standing, or squatting. They looked at this side from afar without any unnecessary movements.

The two sides were separated by the street. It was not a confrontation, but it was clear that there were two sides.

Zhou Jing saw Jason’s figure in the crowd of people on the training ground. However, he deliberately looked away and followed the higher-ups of the workshop into the main house without looking back, leaving only his back view to the people outside.

There were already many people standing in the room, many of them clad in the guards’ attire. Zhou Jing immediately saw the person sitting on the main seat. It was a middle-aged man with a crown on his head.

“This is the King?”

Zhou Jing’s heart stirred. After sizing up the king, he subconsciously looked around and realized that there were a few personal guards standing beside the king. They were all wearing the same steel armor and were covered in the royal family’s emblems. Their armors were quite exquisite.

One of them was quite eye-catching. She was the only female among the guards. She had long, curly lake-green hair that was tied up behind her head, looking like she was in her thirties or forties. Her skin was fair, and she still had her charm. Her appearance seemed to resemble the King as well.

Before he walked in, the female guard had been staring at a short man not far away. It was Commander Keriber of the Imperial Hunters. He was also present for this meeting.

While he was observing, the Officer beside him quickly stepped forward and bowed to the king.

“Your Majesty, this is Bill… Bill, this is the King of the Terra Empire, from the glorious bloodline of Tarn, His Majesty Becky·Tarn!”

“Uh, hello, King?”

Zhou Jing pretended to be flustered and imitated the Head of the workshop, performing a clumsy bow.

Seeing this, Becky smiled and stood up from his seat. He extended his palm in welcome, and as he calmly spoke,

“There’s no need to be so reserved. Please sit down, Bill.”

The attendants came up to serve them, and everyone took their seats.

There were no other court officials present, but the workshop Head still introduced a few important figures to Zhou Jing. Everyone nodded at Zhou Jing.

Soon, he reached the introduction of the two people Zhou Jing had noticed before.

“… This is the commander of the Imperial Hunters, Kleiber. He is one of only two Fifth Enhancers of the Empire.”

Keriber smiled and said kindly to Zhou Jing, “It’s our first time meeting. Let’s interact more in the future.”

“I’m afraid we’re old acquaintances… but that’s with Jason’s identity.”

Now that it was Bill’s identity, it was the first time they had met. Naturally, the other party could not recognize his true appearance.

Zhou Jing smiled to himself and pretended to greet him.

The Head then looked at the female guard from before and coughed, “This is the captain of the royal guards, Irene·Tarn. She is another Fifth Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior in the Empire.”

Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered.

It was indeed her.

Throughout his days here, Zhou Jing had asked around and discovered that the other Fifth Enhancement Warrior the Empire had was of this name. This signified that the person was from the Tarn family… He just didn’t know if he was the King’s elder or younger sister.
