48 Hours a Day

“Do you guys mind a little too much?” Zhang Heng asked.

“No, all we do is minor patches on the original buildings, and we don't go against the big picture, and we don't ask for names or profit, people who live in the shadows of history, even the vast majority of people don't know we exist, which is why the blade of balance can pass on the millennium, in fact most of the time we are just bystanders, and within the organization we prefer to call ourselves patchers. ”

The old trainer said, "Back to the blade of balance, the blade of balance consists of two parts, one of which is the core member of the organization, and for the first generation of the blade of balance, which is the convener plus the six strongest assassins in the world, there are seven of them, and the other is the person who interacts with the assassins or relies on them to earn a living, including some intelligence dealers, a small number of nobles, and a large number of civilians at the bottom, slaves, arms dealers and doctors, among others, who are the peripherals of the blade of balance.

“However, with the development of the blade of balance, both segments of the population have changed in number, and although the organization has also experienced several very serious crises, it has generally grown, although the majority of the growth has been of peripheral members, the number of core members has been relatively stable, having experienced only a few enlargements, and perhaps 400 years ago we have also begun to open ourselves to other assassins, allowing them to exchange some information and resources from the organization, whose status is essentially the same as that of peripherals, and the corresponding blade of balance is, in their view, only an organization that pays for its services to assassins. ”

“How many of your core members are there? ”

The old training is this one without a question and answer, "It's a higher level secret, and when you pass the test and take me from being a candidate to being a part of the organization, you will naturally know.” The old trainer has had a break, "you asked what needs to be done after joining us, and I can answer that right now.

“Just as the original convener answered the words of the six assassins… Being a member of the Blade of Balance will not affect your daily life most of the time, in theory the Blade of Balance will only convene members to intervene when the priest receives the Message from Kleith. ”

“So all of your actions are essentially based on a so-called divine message from a priest? Congratulations, that sounds very reliable. Can I ask her how long she usually gets an apocalypse? ”

“No man can speculate on the will of God, so no one can predict when the message will come," the old trainer said, thinking and adding, "but if you are asking about the past, then, based on past experience, at most, there have been six oracles a month, and at least there have been oracles at intervals of more than forty years, and some members have not even received them until retirement. ”

“I kind of like the latter.” Zhang Hengdao, "but I guess I'm not so lucky, since you showed up at the gladiator school to find gladiators, it means that a new message has already appeared. ”

“Exactly.” The old trainer nodded.

“Your target is Marcus? No, if it's him, you can solve it yourself. Without having to work with Habitus, gladiators can reach a lot of targets... but it should be a big, weighty figure that gives you headaches.” Zhang Heng analyzed.

“Unfortunately, I have not been able to give you the name of the target at this stage, but I can tell you that your test is indeed related to this message. What, do you want to be one of us?” Dadatis asked.

Zhang Heng shrugged, “After hearing so many secrets about you, do I have a second choice? ”

“I know there's a lot of confusion in your mind right now, and you don't fully understand our philosophy, but as long as you're willing to open your eyes and observe the world around you, you'll feel the balance everywhere, and I, as your teacher, can teach you how to balance. ”

“Uh... Professor, I don't think you need to do things like balance. You made it quite clear earlier," Zhang Hengdao, “I already fully understand your style and philosophy. ”

“I am referring to combat skills. ”

“Oh, then I still have to listen. ”

“ ………… ”

Dadatis was also a little speechless, and he could see that Zhang Heng's heart did not agree with the idea of the Blade of Balance, nor did he have much respect for Kreis, which was probably related to him from the East, which made him different from the vast majority of Romans. In Rome, the worship of the Gods penetrated into every corner of life, even for the Gentile Gods, and Zhang Heng's willingness to join the Blade of Balance came purely from the assassins' fighting skills.

But now that Dadatis has lost Habitus, he can't find a better alternative. Not to mention, in Dadatis' eyes, Zhang Heng is a natural assassin embryo. Unlike the debris of Habitus, he is the perfect assassin template created by Kreis himself.

Calm, understated, with excellent observation and analysis skills, his physical qualities and response skills are top notch from those three previous opponents, and he doesn't even need to be carved in detail, just a little polishing will give him a radiant glow.

Failure of such a person to absorb the Blade of Balance would be a loss of the Blade of Balance.

Dadatis himself was also selfish. As he grew older, he had become increasingly overwhelmed, so he really began to put the search for an heir on the agenda. The three previous assassinations were defeated, and his heart was lost and unwilling, but the rest of the unwilling and disappointed was also a little happy.

Because he confirmed once again that Zhang Heng was the person he was looking for, but the old man now shaved his head a bit and picked a hot one. He, like all people caught in single-minded thinking, comforted himself. Such things will be cultivated. How does the other party view the idea of the blade of balance have nothing to do with Kreis, anyway, first marry in the door to occupy the pit, then come to Japan Fangchang, what is there not?

So he coughed and said, "I should have taught you the fighting stuff first, but your own skills in positive combat are already strong, so don't worry about that, I can teach you the assassination skills later, I think you're interested in the Habitus footsteps, so let me start with diving, which is also one of the basic skills of the assassins. ”
