48 Hours a Day

“Why did you throw me in the river? ”

“As your teacher told you, I am the priest of Kleith and do not like people who disrespect Kleith.” The marble-cold channel.

“Then I'm afraid you're going to have to kill the whole city of Rome, because there aren't many people in the city who believe in Kreis. ”

“Don't argue cunningly, they are not our people, but you are, or you may be in the future… Your teacher has chosen you as his successor, not only to inherit his skills, but also to inherit his mission to maintain the balance of everything in the world.” The priestess's fingers stroked the edge of the compartment.

“Otherwise, what do you think I've worked so hard to get close to Commodore for, adding bricks and tiles to the prosperity and stability of Rome?” Zhang Heng asked in the trunk.

“Don't try to deceive me, I know you only joined the Blade of Balance for the sake of those assassin books in the library. People like you, even if they are stronger, will become a scourge sooner or later without faith, and I should probably strangle danger in the cradle before it's too late. ”

“Perhaps you should, but then no one will be able to tell you where Autrus is.” Zhang Hengfangdao.

“Are you threatening me? ”

“No, you threatened me first. ”

Zhang Heng did not retreat in the face of the strong pressure exerted by the priestess. Instead, he was opposed to the needle sharp and inclined. He did not seem to have considered the consequences of provoking each other. If the old trainer were here, he would probably get angry and roll his eyes, because Zhang Heng's words on the bridge were like he didn't hear a word.

However, when Zhang Heng finished this sentence, there was a long period of silence outside the compartment.

The priestess outside seemed to be thinking about having Zhang Hengjin thrown into the river, but after another time Zhang Hengdian's baffle was removed again.

The marble-cold voice outside said, “Now you can come out. ”

Zhang Heng heard that he crawled out of the narrow compartment and then pointed to the black cloth on his face, "What about this thing? ”

“Don't take it easy, you better wear it honestly if you don't want to die. ”

“It doesn't look like you've had a good time lately, otherwise it would be pointless to live so cautiously. ”

The black cloth is not completely sealed, the light outside can penetrate, Zhang Heng can also see a blurred outline, it should be the priestess herself, but the other side should wear a mask, in other words, even if he suddenly took off the cloth on his face, he can't see the other side's true face.

The bigger significance of the cloth is just to test his loyalty.

The priestess could not help but say, “We do not need to live to be interesting, as long as we remember the meaning of everyone's existence. ”

“This is truly pure faith, admirable.” Zhang Hengton, "but with all due respect, if that's true, why are you meeting me in private with someone else? ”

The priestess laughed and her laugh was as cold as her voice when she spoke, "You think you know everything, don't you? ”

“I've never said that myself.” Zhang Hengjingdao.

“You are as arrogant as the rumors say that you won the championship at the Flavian Circular Theatre and accidentally gained your freedom, and you do not intend to put the Blade of Balance in your eyes again. ”

“I don't think it's an accident to be free.” Zhang Hengtang said.

“Then you're not stupid enough. If we can give you your freedom, then naturally you can take it away from you, whether or not you're carrying Commodore's thigh.” Priestess Coldway.

“Sounds like your political allies are strong enough to reassure me, so what else do you want from me? ”

The priestess hummed, "There's something you need to do. ”

“Is this a message? ”

“No.” The priestess silenced.

“Is that an order from the Assassin's Council, with the consent of more than half of the assassins? ”

“Nor is it. ”

“Oh, why should I listen to you like that?” Zhang Hengdao.

Along the way, Zhang Heng had been thinking about why the priestess had suddenly met him. There was no need to do such adventurous things as the other party, and there were other assassins hiding the blade of balance. It was also unusual for the two men to appear hostile as soon as they met.

Zhang Heng carefully recalled that he should not have done anything to offend her before, then there is only one possibility for the other party to adopt this attitude.

It is a wise political skill to intimidate him as soon as he comes up and try to take the initiative because the other party has asked for him but does not want him to have the handle.

However, she usually dealt with simple assassins with little political experience. It was a little too much to think about using it against Zhang Heng. At the time, Zhang Heng was comfortable with the intricate political environment on Nassau Island. How could she be so easily frightened?

So when they first met, the conversation was full of gunpowder, the lips and tongues fought, no one would step back and eventually split the fall color evenly.

But the result was a failure for the priestess, because she was the one who had something to ask for, and if she lost her initiative, it meant that she had little bargaining power in the ensuing negotiations.

However, Zhang Heng was not pushed too tight. After all, the negotiation should also listen to the other party's quote. And then he said, “Tell me what you want me to do. ”

“I hope you don't kill Otrus when you find him.” The priestess speaks amazing.

Zhang Henghuang praised his eyebrows, “Wait, am I listening correctly, you, the priest of Kleis, are asking me not to kill the target of the Messenger? ”

“No, I didn't ask you to spare Otrus, I just asked you not to kill him so fast when you found him.” The priestess stressed, "Something has changed during this time, and I need to know something from him first, so I want you to tell me when you find out where he is, and I'll send someone to talk to him first, but don't worry, I'll leave him to you afterwards to complete the test, and you won't lose anything. ”

“So it seems that the gods you believe in are a little less forward-looking, then? ”

“And didn't you want to go into the library? Because of your faith stance, other assassins in Division may not agree to let you into the library, but I can take you straight in, bypass the assassin council vote, you help me, I help you, we get what we need. What do you think?” The priestess finally threw the chips on her side.
