Astral Apostle Chapter 20: Funny

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Frostwood Village is not big. After a few days, all the villagers knew that there was a new recruit in the hunter team. They accepted the new resident of “Jason Wood”, and occasionally they met and said hello. The atmosphere is simple.

Even Ross was known to the villagers, but he never communicated with others and was completely Zhou Jing’s sidekick, so he didn’t have a high sense of presence.

Zhou Jing didn’t let Ross sit idle. He had a very full schedule for this tool man. Not only did he conduct combat training, but he also learned to forge with the blacksmiths in the village.

The blacksmith was reluctant at first, but after contacting him, he found that although Ross did not communicate with people, he would silently perform whatever he asked him to do. The blacksmith then reluctantly accepted Ross as his apprentice… Of course, it mainly depends on Zhou Jing’s face.

In general, the progress of integrating into the village was smoother than Zhou Jing expected.

On this day, Zhou Jing visited the village chief again and expressed his desire to borrow the only map of Shuangmu Village.

The map overview mode of the panel can include the content of the physical map, unlock the nearby areas, and have achievements for the first time to include the physical map.

There are many ways to obtain Astral Points, but the daily collection needs to be settled every time you return to get them. During the advent, the way to obtain Astral Points in real time is mainly to trigger achievements.

In addition to exercising with Baron these days, Zhou Jing has spent the rest of the time following the completion conditions revealed in the [Achievement List], looking for achievements that can be easily triggered at present, trying to earn points.

However, although there are many achievements on the list, there are currently only a few that can be easily accomplished.

After screening, he took the time to do three daily achievements, namely [Rice Bucket], [Thugs], and [Fatigue Driving].

One is eating Haisai, and his stomach is about to explode; one is pulling the hunters to punch and knocking them down ten times in total; the last is exhausting after finishing a day’s exercise Borrowing an animal for farming, rushing cattle against the sunset… Three achievements, a total of 250 Astral Points will be awarded.

The village chief was deeply impressed by Zhou Jing, so he was looking forward to him becoming a hunter of alien beasts and staying in the village, so he naturally agreed to the request to borrow maps.

The two came to the back room, and the village took out a yellowed animal skin roll from the cabinet and spread it out on the table.

Zhou Jing glanced at the content, and his face twitched slightly.

Oh, this painting skill has the realm of preschool age!

But it would be nice to have it, at least people know how to make maps.

Shaking his head, Zhou Jing tried to identify it, and he understood it roughly.

This is a map of the nearby area. In the middle is a town called Baiyuan City. There are many affiliated villages including Shuangmu Village. Shuangmu Village is the remotest remote village.

According to the information I have heard in the past few days, the Terra Empire is not large in size, and its administrative divisions are relatively simple. The highest level is the fortress city, the next level is the town, and finally there is a village like Frostwood Village. scattered.

And Baiyuan City is equivalent to the “main city” of Frostwood Village, and it is also the center of this area.

[Physical map has been found, whether to include it or not]

[Included, the known area refreshed]

[Hint: If you get a map of the same area, it will complement the details and improve the area map]

[Trigger the achievement [Included physical map for the first time]! ]

[Get 200 Astral Points! Get [Accessibility – Map Radar]! ]

“New Accessibility?”

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up, and he took a closer look at the function.

This map radar function can display a map within a certain range nearby, and display the individuals in the area in real time. Unknown individuals are shown in red, and known individuals are shown in green.

“It feels similar to a minimap, and it should be practical in terms of exploration.”

Zhou Jing nodded secretly… But the auxiliary function can only be switched in the pinching stage, and it is definitely impossible to use now.

Starting with a new reward, plus the previous harvest, the astral point at hand reaches 727 points, which is not so tight.

…

Walking out of the village chief’s long house, Zhou Jing heard a childish voice calling him.

“Jason! Jason!”

Zhou Jing turned his head to look.

I saw a boy of about ten years old striding over, his face was flushed red by the cold wind.

The kid’s name is Reiner, Griff’s eldest son.

Zhou Jing spent a few days in the village, mainly communicating with Griff and Baron, so he also got to know Griff’s family.

As soon as he saw this kid running over, Zhou Jing didn’t say a word and quickened his pace.

“Wait for me!” Reiner rushed up and stopped in front of Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing stopped helplessly: “What are you doing?”

“I want to hear stories out there!” Reiner said with excitement.

“It’s a coincidence, I think so too.”

Zhou Jing was expressionless.

This kid has never left Frostwood Village and is full of yearning for the outside world.

Because he was a newcomer from outside, Reiner thought he knew a lot, so he pestered himself to ask questions from time to time, making him a little helpless.

“If you want to know about the outside world, you should go and pester Baron.”

“I dare not… I ran into the forest alone before, and he beat me hard.”

Reiner muttered in a low voice, angrily.

With the power of Baron, if I really want to hit you, you have already fallen apart…

Zhou Jing wondered if he should beat the child too.

At this time, Reiner laughed: “But you will definitely not hit me, my father said you are a good person, you will not bully me!”

“A good man?” Zhou Jing was a little surprised.

Because of his “open-mindedness”, Griff respects him, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with good people. I don’t know how to evaluate him in private.

Reiner raised his chin: “Father has often said in recent days that he admires you very much. Everyone in the village knows that you are always there for friends who have problems with their brains, and take care of people’s daily life every day. Great guy!”

What a friend with a problem in his head… oh~~

Zhou Jing’s expression stiffened and he looked back.

In the shadow of the street corner, there is a familiar figure who is silently peeping.

Ross: (o_O)

Zhou Jing: “…”

It seems that in the eyes of the villagers, I have been taking care of this stupid follower…

Zhou Jing was speechless and shook his head.

“Okay, let’s go, I have to go to training, I don’t have time to talk to you today, I’ll talk about it later.”

“Ah? That’s fine.” Reiner hesitated for a moment, but he moved out of the way, expecting to ask, “Can you tell me the story of the outside world next time?”

“Next time, definitely next time.”

Zhou Jing quickly slipped away.

He was about to head to the training ground, but just after turning around a few houses, he saw a familiar figure.

It was a strangely dressed old man, with oil paint on his face, two feathers on his head, a robe woven with black feathers, and a cane in his hand – it was himself who died in “Will Wood” The witch doctor seen in the replay.

In the past few days, Zhou Jing has not met each other in the village, nor has he specially visited the pharmacist’s hut outside the village.

Seeing Zhou Jing, the witch doctor was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and hesitated in place.

Why, is this because I am afraid that my “family” will make trouble with the doctor?

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and went straight to meet him. He said in a deep voice, “I’m Jason Wood, the new hunter in the village. You should be the witch doctor of Frostwood Village.”

The witch doctor was hunched over with an old-fashioned look, as if he was murmured: “It’s me… I’ve heard of you too.”

“It is said that before my brother died, you were treating him?”

“Yes…” The witch doctor nodded as if too old, but shook his head slightly.

“I haven’t visited you these days. I’m new here and I’m not familiar with the village. Would you mind taking me to your pharmacist’s hut?”

Although Zhou Jing was asking, his tone was firm.

The witch doctor paused on his cane twice, seeming hesitant, and finally nodded.

“Okay, then come with me.”

After speaking, he turned around and led the way slowly.

…

The two walked out of the village and walked along a small dirt road that was manually walked out for a while before they came to a small **** overlooking the village.

There is a sparse grove here, and a small house is located in it, which is the witch doctor’s pharmacist’s hut.

Next to the hut is a flowerbed with many unknown herbs.

The witch doctor opened the door and walked in. Zhou Jing followed behind and entered the door, looking at the interior of the house.

The space inside the house is not small, but there are too many things on display, which makes it seem narrow. There are rows of shelves along the wall, full of old books and some bottles and jars.

Inside is a workbench with a strange set of metal utensils, mostly tools used to make potions.

“It’s a bit messy, you can sit as you like…” The witch doctor sat down slowly.

Zhou Jing looked around, his eyes locked on the only chair in the room under the witch doctor’s ass.

…If it weren’t for your old arms and legs, I would sit on your lap right now.

Zhou Jing shook his head, not caring, and asked, “Speaking of which, I still don’t know your name.”

“…Gama.”

Zhou Jing nodded and continued to ask: “I heard that you used to be a wandering pharmacist? I’m a little curious, how many years have you been in Shuangmu Village?”

“I’m old, I can’t remember, six years or eight years?”

Jiama shook her head, suddenly paused, changed the subject, and sighed:

“Maybe you heard some rumors from Griff. When I was treating your brother, I ran out of all the medicines. I could only do my best, but unfortunately I couldn’t save him in the end.”

Zhou Jing’s heart moved.

This guy took the initiative to mention this… It seems that he thinks this is my intention, and thinks that I am here to ask for guilt.

Zhou Jing remained calm and said slowly:

“I heard Griff say, you stay in the village as a doctor, on the condition that the hunter team help you gather herbs?”

“Yes, yes…”

“Then you’ve been in the village for so many years, you won’t even be able to get the medicine to save one person, right?”

Hearing this, the wrinkles on Jiama’s face seemed to deepen, and she trembled:

“I know that my level is not good, so I stayed in the small village, and I am old, my hands and feet are not obeying orders, and I always fail to make medicines. Hunters need to go into the forest often to hunt, and occasionally get injured. I do it. The potion has been used almost before… Will, I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.

The meaning inside and outside the words is that Jiama knows that her level is poor, so she stayed in the remote place of Shuangmu Village to eat and live as a pensioner?

It sounds quite sincere, but Zhou Jing always felt a little overwhelmed.

It’s just that there is no evidence, so he has to hide his suspicions in his heart.

“Okay, I understand, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

Zhou Jing didn’t bother, feeling that he couldn’t ask Jiama himself anything.

“Thank you, thank you…” Jiama nodded again and again, her voice murmured.

Zhou Jing touched his chin~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly said: “Then you are old and inconvenient to operate. Have you ever thought about finding an apprentice? I have a choice here.”

He wondered if he could pull Ross over to be an apprentice apothecary. Even if Garma claimed to be very poor, he should be able to recognize herbs, and it would be no problem to teach people.

Jama hesitated, but shook her head: “No, I don’t have the energy to teach apprentices…”

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

Not recruiting apprentices… Is it lack of energy, or do you want to?

Look at the meaning of this old age, is it worried that you will teach your apprentices your skills and starve to death?

Is there another secret?

Several thoughts ran through Zhou Jing’s mind.

Although Garma was sincere, he always felt a little suspicious, but right now he has no clue.

It’s going to be a long time in Japan, and I’ll investigate it slowly in the future… At present, there is no need to make extracurricular branches, the most important thing is to develop with peace of mind.

“Okay, I’m sorry to bother you today, I’ll go first.”

People are reluctant to teach herbal medicine, and they cannot force it.

Zhou Jing did not stay any longer and left.

Jama sat silently in the seat for a while, and suddenly opened her eyes, bright and piercing, where did she still look old-fashioned just now.

He walked to the window and looked out to confirm that Zhou Jing was gone.

Only then did Jiama withdraw her gaze and paced the room, looking a little guilty and regretful.

“Tsk, I didn’t expect that Will to have a brother, and he would still stay in the village! I knew that he would give him some medicine. Now it’s troublesome, his brother is staring at him, and I don’t know if he was fooled by me.

At this juncture, there is an outsider who doesn’t know the details in the village, which is really a hidden danger… Alas, I hope there will be no accidents in the next delivery. “

Jama’s face was uncertain.
