Chapter 788: The Gift of Marcruz

“So you have an opponent who's also an assassin group?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Yes, and because it was created by the traitors of the Blade of Balance, the organizational structure is very similar to that of the Blade of Balance, no, it should be said that apart from the absence of priests, they are almost duplicates of the Blade of Balance, even with our core membership.” The old trainer was helpless.

“Huh.”

“They were only 200 years old, but they were supported by the rulers at the time, and they grew fast, and they were always against us. I should have waited until you passed the test and added the blade of balance to tell you, but given the current situation, you could have met them later, so get to know them well in advance.” Dadatis said, "Anyway, for your safety's sake, it's best not to discuss the blade of balance in public at any time. ”

“Copy that.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Well, I'll teach you how to hide in the crowd so you know how to deal with what happens when you go out.” Dadatis Road.

…………

Zhang Heng's life was simple for more than a month, and the old trainer would come to him from time to time late at night to continue teaching him his assassin fighting skills, while he would go out during the day and play hide-and-seek cat games with free company paid by several gladiator schools.

Because the old trainer set a requirement for him not to do it, Zhang Hengyi took a lot of effort to cope with the people who followed him at first. As he himself said, his appearance was very special in Rome and it was not easy to hide in the crowd, but in addition to the diving skills given to him by Dadatis, Zhang Heng had another killer, which was his LV2 makeup technique. What surprised the teacher trainer was that Zhang Heng had no master to go through, and under enormous external pressure he began to try to combine makeup and dive to better help himself to hide.

In addition, Zhang Heng also participated in four gladiatorial performances, all four of which won without exception, because each win was very clean and smooth, combined with Marcus' operational packaging, which greatly increased his popularity in a short time.

Almost the entire city of Rome is now aware of the presence of a very powerful Orientalist in the Victor Arena.

Zhang Heng also got a nickname for black lightning. These days he had received more than a hundred love letters. Makrous watched the downward turnout since Sisnarts, and he sat back in the arena with joy.

Soon, however, another thing replaced people's attention.

It is the new emperor of Rome, His Majesty Conmoord, who has finally returned from the front.

Since Neval, the Andonian dynasty has experienced five virtuous monarchs, but interestingly, none of the first four of the five emperors had children to inherit the throne, so they all chose to adopt an adoptive son of exceptional virtue and pass the throne on to his adopted son until Orello had a son named Conmood.

Strictly speaking, Conmaud was not Orello's first son. Before Conmaud, Orello had four sons, but unfortunately, the oldest child lived to be only 11 years old, so Fustina gave birth to another pair of twins for Orello, his brother died at the age of 4, and his brother was Conmaud.

Aurelius then welcomed his seventh son, Marcus, who was taken as his heir at the age of four, died ill at the age of seven, and eventually became Aurelius' only surviving son.

This may sound a little tragic, but given that none of Aurelius' four predecessors eventually had sons to succeed him, Aurelius is doing quite well.

And the philosopher, the emperor, who felt he was on the verge of dying, began to cultivate his sole heir. He brought Khanmoud with him when he was marching for the Germans, personally taught Khanmoud to deal with government and lead the war, and sought military support for him. He also arranged for the marriage between Khanmoud and Krispina, a large family of Romkhs, whose father had two rulers, who had considerable influence in the House of Lords. In Orelli's vision, Krispina would become a bond between Khanmoud and the House of Lords, and the marriage would help Khanmoud to further entrench his rule.

However, Olerio's illness was worse than he thought, and eventually he was not able to teach Khan Maud for longer, who was only 19 years old when he died.

And now, this young man, who should have just begun his sophomore year, has taken the scepter from his father and become the new ruler of the entire Roman Empire.

With his near-saintly father in front of him and the four former masters, people are looking forward to seeing what the new emperor will do, especially when he returns to the center of imperial power.

Neither did Conmoord disappoint his people, and the day after his return to Rome, he announced at the ceremony that a grand martial arts show would be held to reward the army and gain the support of the people.

The young man, who had just reached the age of twenty, had not forgotten his father's instruction that bread and circus performances were essential to the rule of a monarch, and that generous gesture immediately greeted the public with cheer and support.

Meanwhile, the Senate, which was responsible for preparing for the martial arts show, began to take action, and notices and documents were sent to various martial arts schools, not only in Rome, but also to martial arts schools in other cities.

It will undoubtedly be a feast for all to participate in gladiator performances.

“Look, this is the new weapon I've asked people to find for you. ”

This afternoon, Markus suddenly came to the door and brought a gift, two Persian swords, but rather than a sword, the shape was actually closer to the knife, sort of the ancestor of a future Damascus knife.

The two knives that Marcruz brought with him were significantly better than conventional weapons, and Roman weapons of this age had begun to use large quantities of iron and steel, but the quality of the sword was generally poor because of the difficulty of controlling the carbon content.

However, the two Persian swords brought by Marcruz this time can indeed be described as boutique. Not only are they sharp enough, but rarely have the drawbacks of no other sharp weapons. They are also very hard in their own right. It is actually a bit like a samurai knife for future generations. Wrapping low-carbon steel in high-carbon steel can perfectly compatible with the advantages of both.

I just don't know if the caster came across it or really mastered some magical casting method.

Zhang Heng is more inclined to the former, otherwise the entire Roman weapon quality can be taken to the next level.
