After a friendly talent show, the two sat down again.

Roman put his hands on his knees, and the rings on his hands looked like jewels under the light of the fire. He put away the disguise of a smile. At this time, his demeanor was clear, and he really looked like he had unfathomable strength.

Zhou Jing seemed to have sobered up, grasped the character's mentality, and showed the embarrassment of thinking that his friend was an ordinary person, but did not expect to be a hidden master, and now he got to know the other person's true face for the first time.

After being restrained for a while, seemingly unable to restrain his strong thirst for knowledge, Zhou Jing couldn't help but speak first:

"What is this power called witchcraft? Why have no one ever heard of it?"

Hearing this, Roman explained slowly:

"The history of witchcraft is not long. It appeared at the end of the tribal era. No one knows how the first wizard in the world discovered this power. It is only known that he taught this power to three disciples and asked them to protect the witchcraft.

The secret of the technique is that this kind of power is not suitable for large-scale dissemination.

So the three disciples decided to set a rule. From now on, a wizard can only accept a maximum of three students, and secretly pass on this mysterious power... It is now the sixth generation.

Wizards usually hide among the people, or live in solitary circles, and do not reveal their witchcraft, so it is normal that you have never heard of it. And for safety reasons, wizards have almost no contact with each other. They leave on their own after becoming a master, unless they meet by chance.

Will deliberately look for others. I only met other wizards once with my teacher in my early years, and I have never seen anyone else since."

Zhou Jing was a little surprised that the history of witchcraft was so short, far inferior to that of hunters of exotic beasts... He didn't know whether this power system was born locally or was brought about by life forms from other planes.

Lin En is a wild man. He was lucky enough to pick up an introductory guide to witchcraft. He has no idea about the wizard's origins or current situation. Only now that Roman, an expert, can speak out, can he know more information.

According to Roman, wizards generally live alone and have no contact. In other words, they have no organization at all. They are more scattered than a plate of loose sand and are scattered among the people.

Zhou Jing's mind was spinning and he pretended to be surprised: "So are there many wizards in the world?"

If we follow this inheritance rule and calculate with a 3x multiplier, it seems that the sixth generation can have more than two hundred wizards.

Roman shook his head: "Not everyone is willing to accept students. Most wizards would rather spend time on themselves than teaching, and for some special reasons, it is not good for wizards to accept students. In addition, wizards often appear in the wild.

Sometimes when encountering strange beasts that are difficult to deal with, people will die, so there are not too many wizards in existence."

"What's the special reason?"

Zhou Jing pricked up his ears and spoke curiously.

Roman pondered for a moment and explained: "Okay, I'll tell you first... Practicing witchcraft is not as dangerous as blood potions, but you have to go out in the wild and look for a special existence called the spirit of nature.

, the power of witchcraft mainly comes from it.

Natural spirits are very rare and are distributed in some strange areas. The number is not unlimited. Once acquired by a wizard, they will disappear. The natural spirits in an area regenerate extremely slowly, and may even never regenerate. Therefore, every time a new wizard is cultivated,

There will be one less natural spirit. This is why the first wizard told his disciples not to spread witchcraft on a large scale. It later became the consensus of wizards.":.

Zhou Jing blinked, this was in line with the information he got from Lin En.

Natural spirits are limited. If a person wants to become a wizard, he must fuse at least one natural spirit. In order to become stronger, he must fuse more. Therefore, cultivating students is equivalent to cultivating competitors.

I feel that only wizards who no longer need the spirit of nature to become stronger can have the leisure to recruit students.

"What kind of power is witchcraft?"

Zhou Jing became a curious baby.

Roman was not stingy, and explained a little bit. The content was similar to Linn's Wizard's Guide, but more detailed.

At this time, he changed the topic and said: "Master Bill, have you thought about it and are you willing to accept my conditions?"

Zhou Jing thought for a while: "If a wizard can only teach three people in his life, can I learn?"

Roman nodded: "I have never accepted students. If you agree to my terms, I will teach you witchcraft. You don't have to worry about the risk of obtaining the spirit of nature. I will help you."

Zhou Jing pretended to hesitate:

"But can I learn witchcraft? This kind of power really doesn't require any talent?"

If Roman answered no, it meant that they didn't want to teach him at all, but just used witchcraft as bait to catch him.

But Roman shook his head: "Not everyone can practice witchcraft. It requires talent, but you have no problem."

"How can you tell this?" Zhou Jing wondered.

Roman looked Zhou Jing up and down and said slowly:

"Wizards have a simple way to judge whether a person can practice witchcraft. The first is the perception of nature. Your special ability to analyze various herbs and medicines is a manifestation of the alienation of qualifications in this area, and you have the foundation to become a wizard.

condition.

Secondly, a wizard needs to have strong mental power... In words that you can understand, it means that you are energetic and have active thinking for a long time. You can work around the clock in the workshop, which proves that your mental power is stronger than ordinary people."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's expression became slightly strange.

So people who can stay up late and have a bad liver have the potential to become wizards?

Standards are not only grounded, but also grounded.

[Item analysis function] has always been considered to be his special talent, and in the workshop, he relies on the placement mechanism of the apostles... These two made Roman misunderstand his qualifications. In Roman's eyes, he is still a witchcraft

world genius.

No wonder this guy didn't worry about the embarrassing situation of using witchcraft to win over him, but he couldn't learn it. It turned out that it was through these two misunderstandings that he was directly judged to have the qualifications for witchcraft.

Zhou Jing seemed to be in a tangle, and after more than ten seconds, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then I agree to your conditions. If you can let me learn witchcraft and have a reliable plan to regain my freedom, I will

Yours."

Roman then showed a satisfied smile: "Believe me, compared to the power of witchcraft, everything promised by the royal family is worthless... You don't have to worry about me restricting your freedom like the royal family. Only the ruler wants to control

In everything, I don’t need you to work for me forever, the relationship between us is more like a cooperative relationship. You provide the craftsmanship of the potion, and I give you the power."

Zhou Jing did not respond.

There is not a high degree of trust between the two, and their understanding of each other is limited. I am worried that Roman will fall out after he escapes from trouble, and Roman is also worried that Bill will sell him after the showdown.

But without showing hard goods like witchcraft, it is difficult to win Bill's trust with empty words, and there is no reason to seduce others.

After telling so much information, Bill had already boarded the pirate ship. If he retreated, Roman would not allow it, but he did not tell the threat.

Even cooperation where everyone gets what they need will take risks at the beginning, worrying about this and that. If one party can completely avoid risks, it can only prove that the other party is 80% passive and suffers losses in the cooperation... At present

In this situation, neither of them could get a 100% guarantee and could only admit that there was an element of gambling involved.

At this time, Zhou Jing asked what he had always been curious about:

"You say you are a powerful wizard, but why do you want to be a palace minister and go against the royal family? What are your goals and what are your plans?"

Hearing this, the smile on Roman's face disappeared: "Just think that I can't stand the so-called 'royal family'."

Seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, Zhou Jing didn't give up easily and asked:

"But I know nothing about your goals or your power. How can I trust you? At least you have to tell me which side you represent."

Roman thought for a while and said casually: "The Terra Empire has never belonged to the Tarn royal family, but to all tribes... I represent the interests of each tribe and have a legitimate position, so you don't have to worry about the hostility of the royal family.

, outside the royal capital, the royal family does not have the final say."

There is no concealment in this regard, but the target is still not mentioned, but there is a high probability that this person will not reveal it... Zhou Jing thought secretly.

He changed the topic and asked: "Then how are you going to take me out of the Golden Castle? You won't take me all the way out of the Royal Capital from the main gate of the Golden Castle, right?"

Roman was amused and shook his head: "It's too laborious. There's no need to make such a big fuss. I have a few ideas, you can listen to them."

"you say."

"Despite the tight defense of Jinbao, there are actually my people everywhere, and there are some secret passages. It is not difficult to send you out of Jinbao. What is difficult is not to be discovered. The most troublesome is to avoid the two teams that are following and monitoring you.

Guards, try not to have a direct conflict with them."

Zhou Jing agreed. The mindless and unhappy team kept monitoring him, which made it difficult for him to take any action. Now both teams of guards are still waiting outside, and they can be seen when he goes out.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Roman opened his carrot-like fingers and whispered:

"The first way is to sneak away at the wedding banquet. In two months' time, you will marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the king will hold a palace wedding banquet. At that time, the guards will not monitor you as usual, because it will make you look like a prisoner.

So you get the opportunity to move freely.

You seemed to get the most attention at the wedding banquet, but in fact, others were least prepared for you. The king felt that you were about to marry a member of the royal family, and others did not feel that you would leave their wedding... It was the right time to act, and I had just the right person.

I will take you away while I have the opportunity."

Zhou Jing was noncommittal:

"Try not to delay it until the wedding banquet...Is there any other way?"

Roman touched his chin and muttered: "The second is a stupid way. Find an opportunity to escape the surveillance of the guards within two months and let my men take you to leave the Golden Castle through a secret passage. But the chance is not great. Your two

The guards are not weak in strength, and they work in shifts day and night, so there are usually no gaps. Even if I ask my subordinates to switch contracts with you and pretend to be you, the smell of the alien blood warriors can be detected immediately. "

"Then it's the same as saying it or not, is there anything else?"

"The third method is to take advantage of the chaos. If you can convince the king to let you travel, I can arrange for men to intercept and kidnap you during the chaos. If you can only stay in the golden castle, then I can set fire to the city or assassinate the king.

, in short, cause chaos and find ways to distract the guards... Of course, they may also be more vigilant to protect you."

Zhou Jing helped his forehead.

After listening around, the most reliable one turned out to be escape from marriage.

What kind of drama is this? The story of the runaway prince-in-law's escape?

"How about you take me all the way out? Even if I fail, I can still argue that I was kidnapped."

"hehe."

Roman didn't want to start a fight.

He paused and suggested: "There are still two months left, you can consider what method to use, and I will make some preparations first."

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Roman hummed, suddenly leaned forward, and said sternly: "We are on the same team now. Don't let the news of what we talked about tonight leak out."

"Don't worry, I understand. Don't doubt my determination to regain my freedom."

Zhou Jing also put on a straight face, pretending to be serious.

The two discussed the details for a while, completely determined their intention to cooperate, and then ended the meeting.

Zhou Jing opened the door and walked away surrounded by guards, disappearing into the darkness.

Roman watched his back disappear, then called a few confidants, closed the door and gave instructions.

"Enable everyone in the Golden Castle to be on standby and ready to receive orders at any time."

Several confidants nodded in agreement.

Roman knocked on the table, pondered for a while, and then said: "Also, contact each tribe and inform them that the plan can begin. The king has been vaguely aware of the threat from the tribes, so he used new potions to enhance the royal power and cultivate a larger army. Tell

It will be increasingly difficult for each tribe to become independent in the future, so they cannot wait any longer. The longer it is delayed, the greater the gap in strength will be.

As long as we get a new formula for the strange blood potion, or a potion master like Bill, we will start an attack immediately!"

"Understood!" Several confidants promised solemnly.

Roman lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "In addition, let our informants pay attention to Master Bill's behavior these days, and tell me all information."

He couldn't completely trust Bill, so he still had to send someone to monitor him, for fear that Bill would sell him and fall into the lap of the royal family again.

The confidants followed the orders one after another and filed out, leaving Roman alone in the room.

Roman sat behind the desk, rubbing his temples, his eyes changing.
