The Imperial Palace of Terra is located in the inner city of the royal capital. It is a complex of castles that occupies an extremely large area. The main castle is the most towering and conspicuous. It is the administrative core for the king and the royal council to exercise power. There are four annexes scattered around it, each with its own function and interacting with each other.

The covered bridges are connected together.

A high wall separated the palace from the common people. It was heavily guarded and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

Among 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, no part of the palace castle is golden at all, but is in a rock-blue color.

Flags with the Tarn family coat of arms and imperial emblems are hung everywhere on the outer walls.

After living in the world of alien beasts for so long, this is the first time Zhou Jing has set foot in the imperial court.

He followed Kreb into the inner city gate and walked along the main road known as the "Road of Glory", all the way to the gate of the Golden Castle. Under the supervision of the gatekeepers here, he temporarily disarmed.

Only then was he able to enter the Golden Castle.

It was just after dusk and night had just fallen, the lights were brightly lit inside the castle, and the guards who had just changed their posts were patrolling conscientiously.

The Golden Castle is heavily guarded. In order to prevent extraordinary beings from sneaking in, the Golden Castle is guarded by a large number of different-blood strengthened people, as well as the royal city and royal guards.

Generally, a regular patrol team consists of a different blood enhancer and several ordinary guards, and sentries composed entirely of different blood enhancers are guarding everywhere.

Hunters of exotic beasts are not allowed to move around freely in the golden castle. Zhou Jing and Kraibo followed the two teams of royal city guards all the way to the imperial conference hall.

This time was not an official interview, but an emergency meeting. After learning of Kleiber's report, King Becky Tarn immediately convened the members of the Royal Council for discussion, and summoned Zhou Jing, the person involved, to inquire about the details of the rebellion in Deep Rock City.

At this time, as soon as Zhou Jing stepped into the imperial conference hall, he found several important ministers waiting here. Many of them were familiar faces, people he had met when he was using the identity of Bill, and among them was Roman.

"Your Majesty the King, distinguished ministers, this is the Imperial Hunter Jace. It was he who personally stopped the gangsters' atrocities and prevented the tragedy in Deep Rock City from happening."

Creber took a step forward and introduced Zhou Jing.

King Beki and many ministers all looked at Zhou Jing, who they knew was their first meeting, and looked him up and down.

Zhou Jing also pretended to recognize someone when they met for the first time, and glanced at everyone's faces.

"You did a good job." Becky nodded calmly: "I am very happy to see that there is a hero like you with a sense of honor and responsibility in the team of Empire Hunters."

Zhou Jing nodded slightly, with a calm attitude, not excited by the king's award.

Because "Jason" is different from "Bill". He is a powerful hunter who has experienced hundreds of battles and experienced life and death. Strong and steady is the image he needs to portray.

Seeing his unfazed appearance, everyone was not surprised. Strong people have temperaments.

Becky didn't mind either and asked about the details of the rebellion in Deep Rock City. Zhou Jing concealed Lin En's existence and told the truth about the others.

After hearing the specific process, Becky had a look of surprise on her face and asked:

"This gang of gangsters called Sons of Different Blood has nearly forty different blood warriors. Most of them were killed by you alone?"

Many ministers present also cast suspicious glances.

They had heard the report before, and this was the thing that made them question it the most.

Sensing the distrust of many ministers, Creber helped speak and explained:

"You don't have to doubt Jace's strength. He is also one of the best among the hunters who have been strengthened three times. He has only been a member of the Empire Hunter for more than half a year and has already become a top-ranked warrior among the Empire Hunters. Even if he is a hunter who has been strengthened four times, fighting with him

The most important thing is that Jace still has the determination to continue to strengthen. I am very optimistic about him, maybe he can become another hunter who has been strengthened five times after me!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing in surprise again.

It was not easy to get Creb's high praise. They didn't expect that Creb was so optimistic about this hunter named Jace.

An exotic beast hunter with determination and potential who may reach five enhanced levels in the future has received a higher level of attention from everyone.

Eileen Tarn, the royal guard captain who stood silently next to him, also cast an interesting look.

"Hahaha, you are such an old hunter who deserves respect. I hope your future enhancements will go well and give the empire another pillar who has been strengthened five times." Roman greeted with a smile and said some kind words.

"I'll try my best." Zhou Jing didn't say much.

King Beki waved his hand, did not continue the topic, and said in a deep voice:

"Jace, you have made a great contribution. If the Son of Different Blood succeeds, it will make other gangsters find it easy to do evil. Fortunately, you defeated their plot and did not let things worsen. Otherwise, the success of the Son of Different Blood will be

Inciting more people to imitate.”

As she spoke, Becky paused, her expression both angry and helpless:

"But even if this group of gangsters fails, what happened in Deep Rock City will still have a bad impact and trigger more people's ambitions to commit evil. There will be a second time if there is a first time, and there may be more people with different blood in the future.

A newcomer with strength, chooses to trample on the law..."

Roman agreed in time: "Yes, this is just like Jason in White Plains City. That person failed to assassinate the lord. Although he died, the impact was already caused. Later, the lord of White Plains City was kidnapped and killed precisely because someone imitated him...

…Once something like this has started, it can’t be undone.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The assassination incident in Baiyuan City made everyone here deeply disgusted.

From the position of a person in power, one must never allow one's own safety to be threatened. Anyone who dares to disobey this rule is a public enemy of the ruling class and a mob.

Although everyone knew that the lord of White Plains City was at fault, they still regarded Jason as a criminal... The first person to resist by assassination would make more people think that they still have this option when encountering problems.

These imperial ministers vaguely understood the principle of guarding the people's words more than guarding the river. Unfortunately, even if they had the idea of ​​​​stopping people from talking about this matter, they could not take action. After all, the development of civilization is limited, and the royal power cannot control it too far.

, unlike high-tech civilization that can silence everyone at any time.

That is to say, Jason, the instigator, is already dead, otherwise he would have been wanted throughout the country and would not stop until his death. However, they still have not given up on tracing the mysterious murderer who later killed the lord of White Plains City.

However, what these imperial ministers didn't know was that the murderer they were looking for had already arrived in front of them, but no one recognized him.

Zhou Jing's expression was calm, as if he didn't hear anything.

It's Jason he's talking about. It's none of my business, Jace.

Becky coughed, quieting everyone down, and said slowly:

"No matter what, the matter in Deep Rock City will spread sooner or later, so I decided to hold a public execution. The leader of the Sons of Different Blood will be tried and executed in public, so that everyone can see the fate of the gangsters and the strength of the Empire Hunters!"

No one was surprised. They had already discussed this plan before Zhou Jing arrived.

Since there is no way to stop the spread of the news, we can only reverse the direction of the rumors and emphasize the fate of the gangsters and Jason's "hero" image.

At this time, Becky looked at Zhou Jing and showed a rare smile: "Jace, you have made great achievements this time. I will give you a corresponding reward to thank you for your dedication. Do you have any requirements?"

Zhou Jing pretended to think for a while and said: "Nothing else, I don't care about money. This is the duty of an empire hunter. Compared with this, I would rather execute Duodun myself."

Hearing this, Becky was a little surprised. She pondered for a few seconds and did not refuse: "Okay, since it is the criminal you caught with your own hands, you will solve it."

After saying that, looking at Zhou Jing's calm look, Becky fell in love even more and added:

"You are very good, I will always pay attention to you."

Zhou Jing nodded in greeting and pretended to be aloof to the end.

After talking about the matter, the meeting ended. Zhou Jing bid farewell to the king and others, and followed Kleiber to leave the Golden Castle, making secret plans in his heart.

'The king knows that there is a person like me, and if he stands on the side of the empire from now on, things will be easier for him.'

This time there were too many people and Zhou Jing had no intention of revealing the independent information of the tribe. Moreover, it was the first time he met the king and his trust level was not high enough.

Although he did not take the opportunity to cause trouble, he was appreciated by the king and made the king remember him as a person. It would be feasible to find reasons to ask for a meeting in the future, unlike before when he was unable to establish contact with the king.

If you want to reveal the conspiracy of tribal independence, you already have channels. You can make trouble by waiting for the opportunity... Zhou Jing thought to himself.

He had decided to use two boats, Bill would take Roman's dry route, and Jason would naturally take the Empire's water route.

Now that the situation is unclear, it's time to bet on both ends and hedge risks.

Watching Zhou Jing walk away, Roman retracted his gaze, his eyes twinkling.

A hunter with the potential to be strengthened five times... It's a pity. Although it is worth wooing, such hunters often have firm goals and are difficult to bribe or subdue.

And potential is just something that has not yet happened. Maybe next time it is strengthened, this person will die suddenly...

Roman shook his head, not planning to have any deep contact with Jace for the time being.

Although a powerful hunter is important, in his eyes it is just that.

Bill, who can develop exotic blood potions, is a more worthy target. In comparison, a hunter is nothing.

Roman had already hatched a plan, planning to launch a fierce pursuit after Bill ended the closed development, and must take this exceptionally talented pharmacist under his wing.

…

One day later, the royal capital posted a notice announcing the chaos in Deep Rock City.

This news shocked the residents of the royal capital, and soon became the main topic in the streets.

Because promoting a positive influence requires a model, the empire emphasized Zhou Jing's contribution in the notice, intending to establish a heroic image and divert the world's attention from the gangsters.

The title "Savior of Deep Rock City" was certified by the empire and was crowned on Zhou Jing's head.

The name "Jace" quickly spread throughout the city, becoming a celebrity among hunters and being discussed enthusiastically by the residents of the royal capital.

As the empire's notices were sent to other cities, "Jace's" reputation gradually spread, and the rebellion in Deep Rock City became known to more people, causing a sensation in various places.

For Zhou Jing, the most direct manifestation is that the legendary level of the career deed [Deep Rock City Rebellion] continues to increase, and soon reaches 5 points, which is equivalent to providing an additional 5% daily income bonus, and as the

As the reputation increases, there is still room for further improvement.

Zhou Jing did not care about the empire's propaganda. He helped Lin En settle down in the royal capital. He occasionally went to Lin En to discuss the broken books on witchcraft. At other times, he stayed at the empire hunter station and waited for public executions.

Having almost finished learning the Imperial Hunter's Breathing Technique, Zhou Jing had already planned to have Jason strengthened four times, but he was not in a hurry because Bill was stationed inside the workshop and was developing a new type of alien blood potion, and he already had some ideas.

He planned to let Jason use a new type of alien blood potion, which should be stronger than the normal blood potion.
