Chapter 11 - The Apostolic Association

Chapter 11 - The Apostolic Association

The shock brought by the spiral strangulation was so strong that when Chen Yue flew past Lili Dan and the blonde youth, the two of them panicked and maneuvered their flying beasts away, not even having the slightest intention of helping their friends to take revenge.

It wasn't that they were unrighteous, but in high altitude, unless you had the strength of the seventh rank or above, you couldn't use any magic or fighting qi in high speed flight, it was purely the type of flying beast and the skill of the manoeuvring.

Chen Yue had just proved that he was unbeatable in terms of skill, and he also ignored the type of flying beast.

How many people would dare to stop such an opponent and have the confidence to avenge their friends instead of being humiliated?

With such thoughts, Chen Yue flew past with ease. Not only Lili Dan and the blonde youth, but also the other bystanders, were so immersed in the strong shock Chen Yue had brought them that no one dared to come up and talk to them for a while.

It was only after the flying camel's back disappeared that they snapped out of it, seemingly, not even knowing any bit of information about Chen Yue ......

It was only after flying far away that Chen Yue returned the operation to the imperialist who regarded him as a deity. Harnessing the flying camel was still very mentally demanding, especially the feeling of human-beast fusion that came with domestication, which tested one's nerves.

The Frozen Rabbit's life aura had also dulled to the point of invisibility. His fingers rubbed the Frozen Rabbit's head compassionately, and the little fellow showed his teeth with a tired smile.

Choosing a more comfortable position, Chen Yue lay down, his eyes slightly narrowed as he closed his eyes to recuperate, and by the time his spirit had mostly returned, he could already see the Freehold.

Looking down at the huge black shadow below, Chen Yue drew in a breath of cold air.

Only after seeing it with his own eyes could he realise the incomparable size of the Freedom Capital. Standing thousands of metres in the air, everything below looked like a molehill, but the Freedom Capital in front of him made Chen Yue feel that he was the molehill.

The closer he flew, the more he could feel a pressure like a mountain coming down on him.

"One, two ......." Standing on the flying beast, Chen Yue counted the numbers, "Eleven, there are actually eleven cities."

He couldn't help the shocked look that surfaced on his face, yes, the Freedom Capital was not a single city, but a huge cluster of cities that were all extremely close together, if it wasn't for the different sparseness of the buildings, it would have been impossible to tell these eleven urban areas out.

"Worthy of being the number one city in the Heavenly Leaf Empire, this weather alone is unparalleled." Chen Yue sighed in admiration, even compared to the super metropolises on Earth in his previous life, the Capital of Freedom was not inferior at all.

The number of flying beasts here was even more dense, with flying beasts constantly flying up and landing from the city, and there was even a huge flow of people on the ground going in and out of the city.

The two of them flew towards the nearest landing area.

"Welcome to Freedom City, this is District 9." As the flying beast descended from the sky towards the landing zone, a pleasant voice came from a lookout set up in mid-air: "Please observe the order of air travel, fly south-west, there is space available for landing there."

Dozens of watchtowers were erected in the huge landing area like an airfield, and the flying beasts landed in an orderly manner under their command, without any sense of chaos, which was an eye-opening experience for Chen Yue.

Flying beasts were not allowed to pass within the Free Capital City, and their landings and take-offs were all in the outer eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh zones, so the Imperials could only send Chen Yue here. Once he left the landing zone, looking at the tall buildings in front of him, Chen Yue was immediately dumbfounded.

Where was the Apostolic Association in such a large Free City?

But the next moment, he knew how this worry was superfluous ......

Seeming to see Chen Yue's hesitation, the dozen or so men leaning against the carriage by the roadside brightened up and all gathered around, talking and introducing themselves.

"My lord, this is your first time in the Free Capital, right? Just tell me where you want to go, this road, I know it well ......"

"Choose me, my carriage is the fastest ......"

"And me, my price is the fairest ......"

......

With a slight frown on both eyebrows, Chen Yue waved his hand to interrupt these chattering men and touched his bulging money bag, feeling much more confident in his heart. The first time he came to the other world, he was stuffed with a large sum of money by Ling Yue'er before he left Qiya City, otherwise he would not have had the money to take the expensive flying beast, of course he also understood in his heart that the money was definitely stuffed by Nod to please himself, but he had helped them to be tax free, so naturally he received it with peace of mind and would not feel half guilty.

"I want to go to the Apostolic Association, who knows the way?"

After asking, it was surprising that everyone knew, which put Chen Yue's mind at ease. He chose a middle-aged man who looked loyal and honest, and after negotiating the price, he got on the other party's carriage.

The unsuccessful carriage drivers were full of indignation and spat indignantly towards the distant carriage, "Bah, another one who wants to try his luck, I curse him and get thrown out by the Apostle Lord."

......

The Apostolic Association was located in the third district, a long way from the outer ninth district, and it was only when the sun was setting in the west that they managed to reach it.

The huge tower-shaped building towering into the clouds was unique in the third district, and together with the dozen of subsidiary buildings surrounding it, one could distinguish it from the countless buildings at first glance.

Standing outside the gates of the Apostles' Association, Chen Yue's heart could not help but feel a surge of emotion.

However, when he walked into the association hall, the scene he saw instantly made Chen Yue feel like he was in the wrong place.

"Is this ...... an apostle association or a mercenary union?" The number of fighters and magicians sitting around in the hall was huge, and Chen Yue felt the urge to step outside and look at the sign.

"What a hell, I'm afraid that the Wizard Association and the Duelist Association don't even have this many professionals." What made Chen Yue most speechless was that among so many professionals in the hall, there was not a single Apostle ......

If not for the fact that the professionals here were all unusually quiet and did not even dare to speak loudly, Chen Yue would really wonder if the extremely popular Mercenary Union had opened a branch here.

The many professionals in the hall were also the first to notice Chen Yue standing at the entrance, and a sharp gaze immediately shot over. After seeing that Chen Yue was dressed as neither a magician nor a fighter, a look of dismay surfaced in his eyes, and there were even a few people who showed disdain without hiding it.

"Uh." With a somewhat indecisive shrug, Chen Yue filtered out all these uncomfortable gazes and walked towards the reception desk in the centre of the hall.

Seeing him act like this, more people shook their heads, looking like they were watching a good show, and those few people who had previously disdained him even gave a straightforward "snort" and let out a mocking sound.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Yue was a bit puzzled, he was an apostle who had come to report to the Apostolic Association, was there anything to laugh about?

The mockery in the eyes of the professionals in the hall intensified as he pondered in his mind, but his steps did not stop. Just as Chen Yue had managed to walk half the distance, there was a sudden blackness in front of him as a huge figure stood up, followed by a sinking of his shoulders and a pair of arms wrapped around himself, pressing him into a chair.

"Hey, big guy, what are you messing with."

"That's right, a rare good show and you're ruining it."

......

Before Chen Yue could question the other party's rude actions, the hall suddenly erupted into chaos as if a stone had been thrown into the calm water, and a group of people blamed the big man who had pulled Chen Yue down, many of them showing extremely discontented expressions.

"Quiet." At that moment, a clear female voice rang out from the reception desk, it was not loud and did not contain any power, but the people in the hall were as silent as if they had seen a cat.

A young girl with a clear face stood behind the reception desk and swept a discontented glance at the hall, then at Chen Yue, who had caused the commotion, with more or less reproach in her eyes.

Chen Yue looked at the hall, there was no shortage of third and fourth ranked professionals, even strong as fifth ranked professionals, he saw two of them, however, Chen Yue turned his gaze to the reception desk.

If he was not mistaken, the badge worn on the chest of that clean-cut young girl was ...... first rank.

What was wrong with this world, was it wrong?

It was fine to see a large number of magicians and fighters in the Apostolic Association, but a large group of senior professionals were even scared to make a sound by the words of a small girl of the first rank ......

"Hey, hey, just get used to it, that's how it is here." The big man who pulled Chen Yue laughed in a low voice, looked at Chen Yue's young face and chided with some regret, "I say, little fellow, even if you want to come here to try your luck, but is it necessary to be so direct? I've seen 129 people like you walk straight up and try to take a chance, but every single one of them was thrown out without exception, and you think you're the only exception?"

"Taking a chance?" Chen Yue found that the truth seemed to be a little different from what he had thought, and it was only at this moment that he sized up this large man who was acting slightly rude, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Surprisingly, he was a third-ranked Dou Shi.

"Could it not be?" The big man looked at Chen Yue with an odd expression, "You wouldn't have been tricked by someone, would you, this is the Apostle Association, although there are more professionals, you still have to go to the Mercenary Association if you want to post a mission."

"The Apostolic Association is what I'm looking for." Chen Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Also, please move your arm away, it's heavy."

The big man smiled sarcastically and took his arm away, "I am not doing this for your own good, since you are not looking for the wrong place, then, like us, you must be hoping to be lucky enough to be seen by one of the apostles and become his follower, then I am even more right, the rule here is that only the apostles can choose their followers, walking up like you did just now would be absolutely There's no hope at all, and you'll annoy one of the apostles."

"You think I'm here because I want to become a follower of a certain apostle?" Chen Yue's expression became incomparably odd, no wonder there were so many magicians and fighters in the hall, it turned out that they had all come with the intention of being able to become an apostle's follower, but was the difference in status between the two that great?

"That's for sure, just look at that little girl, she's the one Lord Vinnia saw as a follower, that's why no one here dares to offend him, tsk, what luck, eh, wait, where are you going?"

Without noticing, Chen Yue stood up, and the big man could only watch with unusual regret as Chen Yue walked towards the reception desk.

"This little fellow, why is he so stubborn."

The other people in the hall all became excited at once, but due to the warning from the young lady before, they all dared not raise their voices, and just looked at Chen Yue as if he was a fool.

Already two of the nearest doujinshi stood up, rubbing their fists together, waiting for the next moment to throw this guy who dared to disobey the rules out.

The fresh young girl who had become Vinnia's follower raised her head in dismay, looking at Chen Yue with an unconcealed surprise in her eyes.

"That, I don't really want to become a follower of whoever, in fact, I'm here to register." Chen Yue helplessly waved his hand and added, "I am an apostle."
