Zhou Jing did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "Are you a wandering hunter from Baiyuan City?"
"You know me?" Weber wondered.
Zhou Jing smiled: "I haven't met you, but when we first met, I found you staring at my face, full of surprise, as if I had seen someone who looks similar to me. Now you Calling Jason's name, it is not difficult to judge that you were once a hunter of White Plains City, if you are not mistaken, you and Jason were once hunting partners."
This passage revealed enough information, and Weber became more and more sure of his guess, but still confirmed and asked, "Then who are you?"
Zhou Jing put away his smile, deliberately lowered his voice, and pretended to be cautious:
"Jason is my brother, but I don't have a surname now, just Jace."
Sure enough, it's a blood relationship, so I know I guessed right!
Weber believed it right away, he didn't know Jason that well, and immediately accepted this rhetoric that was in line with his common sense.
After all, the fact that the two look alike is irrefutable proof... The previous speculation that Jason was resurrected from the dead is still too absurd.
- It can't be the same person, not to mention the common sense that the dead can't be resurrected, just the two people's conversation performance is quite different, this Jace is obviously not as stern as Jason, and his brain is much better than that arrogant Jason. .
He is not surprised that Jace concealed his surname. With the assassination of the lord to this day, the name "Jason Wood" is known by too many people. This surname is eye-catching, and incognito can avoid a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Webb was suddenly silent - although Jace was Jason's brother, he was still a stranger to him, and after recognizing his identity, he didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Weber thought of a question and wondered:
"You are Jason's brother and a hunter who has been strengthened three times. Why did Jason not follow you, but went to Baiyuan City to become a hunter? If I were with you, maybe Jason wouldn't have to die..."
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "I know what you're thinking, but our family never depends on others, even if we are brothers, we must separate when we reach a certain age, scattered all over the place, and live our own lives-independence, this is our Wood. family training!"
A look of surprise appeared on Webb's muscular face.
Since the tribal era, the concept of living in a group has been dissolved in the blood of the world, and it is difficult for him to understand this family motto.
But as an experienced hunter, Weber suddenly thought that there are many exotic animals in nature with similar habits, which would allow members of the group to forage for food and experience alone, and then return to the group.
Often members of the tribe die in the process, and the alien beasts that survive will be stronger, which is a cold and cruel survival habit.
'Wood... appears to be a cruel family. ' Webber thought such a thought.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Zhou Jing's words, nor the strong tenacity brought about by this family training, but he just didn't understand it.
"But your brother died, and you really... oh!"
Weber asked the question subconsciously, and suddenly a flash of inspiration suddenly opened his eyes.
Yes, the lord of Baiyuan City, Root, was kidnapped and torn apart, and the murderer is suspected to be a three-time enhancer!
The strength matches, the motive matches... The case is solved!
The murderer must be Jess - half a year after Jason's death, his brother went to White Plains City, took Root's life, and achieved revenge!
Weber was suddenly enlightened, and only felt that everything was right.
A cruel family, cruel to its own people, must be even more cruel to the enemy! Usually independent of each other, but once a relative dies, the Wood family will definitely give violent revenge!
Weber was stunned.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing raised his brows and said meaningfully: "Some things, don't say anything if you guess, I believe in your relationship with Jason."
Weber came back to his senses and looked serious: "I will keep a secret for you."
He didn't mean to expose it at first, the question was just to understand the confusion, and now that he got the answer, he was satisfied, and had no other thoughts.
Although Weber does not approve of killing the lord by crime, he is not pedantic. Since there is no evidence of death and no one finds out, he will not betray Jason's relatives.
What's more, Root was regarded as an enemy by the hunters of Baiyuan City. If it weren't for the fact that he was hacked to death as a lord, Jace just did what he wanted to do but resisted it... When he heard the news of Root's death, he was I was so happy that I ate three bowls of meat.
Zhou Jing nodded, trusting the hunter's conduct.
If he was ruthless, he might be thinking about shutting his mouth at the moment, but Zhou Jing had no such idea at all. After all, he was a former comrade-in-arms, and it was not a big deal to be recognized in his eyes.
Do you know what an eternal apostle is, I'm afraid of an egg!
After chatting for a while and telling Weber the "truth", Zhou Jing walked out of the tent and exhaled softly.
This acquaintance won't reveal anything, but the side effect is that Weber really thinks there is a "Wood family" in the world that has begun to go incognito...
"Small problems, small problems."
Zhou Jing muttered a few words, then put the matter down, opened the panel and took a look.
The panel at this point has several prompts.
[Trigger Achievement [First Kill-Different Blood Warrior (Secondary Enhancement)]]
[Get 1000 astral points! [Quality Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Small)] x1, [Quality Enhancement - Resistance (Small)] x1]
[Trigger Achievement [Different Blood Killer (Ten Kills)]]
[Get 1000 astral points! ]
Overwhelming Doton and his gang, triggered two achievements and made a small profit.
Because Zhou Jing hadn't executed Dodun yet and planned to bring him back to the capital to gain prestige, the first kill achievement of the three-time enhancer had not yet been triggered, but he was bound to get it, and it was no joke to apply for the execution in person.
In addition to the achievement, this time a special prompt was triggered.
[You get career deeds - [Revolt in Deep Rock City]! ]
[Rating: City Level]
[Current reputation bonus: +1]
"What is this?" Zhou Jing was triggered for the first time and explained.
When involved in some special events and making an impact, there is a chance to trigger career events, which is related to legend. The higher the spread, influence, historical significance and other factors of this deed, the more legendary it will increase, which is dynamic.
It is equivalent to the "celebrity deeds" and "great achievements" of an astral apostle in the current world, which can bring fame and prestige.
As long as you promote "life deeds", you can increase the reputation bonus, but the upper limit depends on the nature of the matter itself - promotion is also realistic, and there is a limit to boasting.
"It's strange. I was quite a sensation when I assassinated the lord. I gave a lot of legends, but I didn't trigger this thing. I don't know what the judgment probability is."
Zhou Jing touched his chin, but he didn't have a clue, so he didn't bother.
Anyway, it is a good thing to increase the popularity, this thing can improve the income of each regression settlement and placement settlement.
Closing the panel, Zhou Jing touched the witchcraft book that was stored close to him, his eyes flashing.
"It's time to talk to that 'Wizard'."
…
Lynn opened his eyes slowly, and what he saw was an unfamiliar roof, and he was lying on a wooden bed.
Excessive use of witchcraft caused a splitting headache, as if his brain was being stirred, he groaned and couldn't help covering his forehead.
At this moment, a man's voice sounded beside him.
"Are you awake?"
Lynn turned his head to look and found a strong and burly man sitting beside the bed, vaguely familiar.
Pieces of memory sprang up in the confused head, piecing together the experience before the coma.
Lynn suddenly remembered that he was being chased and killed by the bandits before he fainted due to overdraft. He was at the end of the road. Suddenly, a strong man from the sky tore the bandits in half, and it was the man in front of him.
"You saved me?"
"Yes, I am Imperial Hunter Jess." Zhou Jing nodded.
"Uh, thank you Jace."
Lin En's tone was sincere, but his face was unnatural and his eyes were dodging.
He was glad that he was rescued and was grateful, but he was worried that the scene where he used sorcery to stop the bandits would be seen, revealing his peculiarities, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Unfortunately, things did not develop in the direction he prayed for. Zhou Jing looked at him with great interest and said:
"I see that you can manipulate earth and stone. This is not the ability of alien blood enhancement, aren't you going to explain it?"
Still found out... Lynn was helpless, and didn't know how to refute, but just kept silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing took out the witchcraft book from his arms: "I have read this book, the ability you use is called witchcraft, right?"
Lin En was shocked, and quickly touched his chest, finding it was empty, and immediately reached out to grab the book in a hurry.
"Give me the book back!"
Zhou Jing easily avoided Lin En's hand, shook his head and said, "Answer my question first, where did you get this book from?"
Lin En's small arms and legs couldn't twist Zhou Jing at all. He tried several times to no avail, so he had to give up and said helplessly, "I dug it up."
Zhou Jing shook the book: "Tell me in detail."
Lynn pursed his lips and struggled for a while, but he still recognized the situation and compromised. He didn't dare to make trouble in front of the imperial hunters, and told his origins in frustration.
A few years ago, he was still a bookkeeper for a caravan. He followed the team to do business. One day he was attacked by a strange beast in the wild, and the team fled. He fell into a hole on the way to escape, and was lucky to avoid the alien. beast.
When he fell into the hole, something hit him on the back and found that there was half a black hard object buried in the ground, so he dug out the soil with his hands and pulled out an old box with a book in it. , is this remnant book that records the knowledge of witchcraft.
After a lucky escape, Lynn began to delve into the contents of the book and found that he seemed to be able to practice the witchcraft knowledge recorded above. According to the contents of the book, he traveled everywhere to find the spirit of nature that can inspire the power of witchcraft. After being chased by alien beasts, he accidentally discovered a spirit of nature, and it was difficult to integrate it into his body. The magical power of the earth element.
After that, he lived in seclusion in the nearby Deep Rock City, daring not to reveal his abilities, and devoted himself to studying the contents of the witchcraft book until today.
"...so you have the power of witchcraft and do nothing but stay at home?"
Zhou Jing raised his brows.
"I don't dare to use it, or someone will find out, and someone will surely take away my book."
Lin En hesitated, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jing, his expression seemed to say that I really had foresight.
Possessing extraordinary power, he also wanted to show off and start a new life, but he was afraid to take this step because of his worries, so he kept locking himself in the room and trying to study witchcraft knowledge, suppressing his inner impulse.
Although it was exposed now, which made him panic, he was inexplicably relieved, as if he wanted others to know but had to hide his ability, and finally he was forced to be known, so he no longer had to hide himself.
Lin En is willing to compromise and answer, there are some factors in this aspect, and he has held it back for too long... At the same time, because Zhou Jing is his savior, he does not feel Zhou Jing's hostility.
After listening to Lin En's explanation, Zhou Jing rubbed his temples.
I thought this was a wizard with a heritage, but I didn't expect it to be a self-taught. It seems that I can't get information about other wizards in the world from Lynn's mouth.
"Now that I know your abilities, what are you going to do?" Zhou Jing asked with arms crossed.
"I don't know either." Lynn looked confused: "What do you want me to do?"
He couldn't do anything about killing people, and he couldn't beat Zhou Jing, and he didn't even think in this direction in his heart.
He only prayed that Zhou Jing would not be malicious, even if he was in good condition, he would probably not be able to beat this person, not to mention that he was overdrawn now.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
Zhou Jing looked at him carefully for a while, suddenly smiled, and threw the witchcraft book back into Lin En's arms.
"Don't be nervous, I'm asking you these things just out of curiosity. I've never seen such a power before, and I don't plan to do anything to you."
Lin En quickly grabbed the book and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhou Jing in surprise: "Aren't you going to take my book?"
"Need not."
Zhou Jing shook his head. He had read it completely, and he could read it from the experience log at any time.
He paused, looked at Lynn's lost and found surprised expression, and said with a smile:
"You have extraordinary talents. Would you like to accept my employment? I will pay you, on the condition that I also want to study the knowledge of this book."
"This..." Lynn hesitated for a moment.
Zhou Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The book says that the spirit of nature will only appear in some inaccessible places, and it is generally very dangerous. With my protection, you will not have to worry about the threats in the wild, and you can boldly search for the spirit of nature. I am already an insider. If you go to others to cooperate, more people will know. I have no ill will towards you, others may not necessarily, so it is the best and safest choice to cooperate with me. "
Hearing this, Lynn was moved.
In the two years of seclusion, witchcraft has hardly progressed, and it still only integrates one spirit of nature, because he dare not go into the wild to find new spirits of nature.
This trick of myself can't deal with the wild beasts that are too strong at all, luck can favor once, but it will not always be so lucky.
And this powerful hunter is right, he is already an insider, and the ship is done. Instead of thinking about continuing to hide, it is also good to work together.
"Can you let me think about it?" Lynn would be undecided for a while.
"Of course, before I leave Deep Rock, you can take your time."
Zhou Jing speaks well.
Recruiting Lynn was the result of his consideration. Rather than simply taking away a book, it was naturally more beneficial to bring someone who had successfully practiced witchcraft. A living example was better than a dead book.
But he doesn't force it. If Lynn really doesn't want to, then forget it. It's a big deal to study so-called witchcraft on his own. The book has already written clearly how to get started.
Only by looking for the spirit of nature can the power of witchcraft be unlocked. The spirit of nature is quite rare and can only be discovered by the special method recorded in the book. It takes luck to find this thing.
The astral apostles have a lot of trial and error costs. If Lynn can succeed, the apostles will naturally have more chances.
However, Zhou Jing felt that there was a high probability that Lin En would agree, not only because he was a benefactor, but also because the person's performance just now revealed a mentality between the extraordinary and the commoner, and he was not a strong character.
As long as they can gain trust, have no malice, and bring what they need to the other party, people should not mind sharing and cooperation.
Zhou Jing got up and left, walked out of the room, raised his hand to cover the shade, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Witchcraft system... I don't know what it would be like to use."
