Chapter 821

"Why did you throw me into the river?"

"Your teacher told you that I am the priest of cleis and I don't like people who are disrespectful to him." The voice as cold as marble said.

"I'm afraid you're going to kill all the people in Rome, because there are not many people who believe in cleis in this city."

"Don't quibble, they are not our people, but you are, or you may be in the future Your teacher chooses you as his successor. You should not only inherit his ability, but also his mission to maintain the balance of all things in the world. " The priestess's fingers caressed the edge of the carriage.

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm trying so hard to get close to Commodus for, to contribute to the prosperity and stability of Rome?" Zhang Heng in the carriage asked.

"Don't try to deceive me. I know that you join the blade of balance only for the assassin's books in the library. No matter how powerful you are, no faith will become a disaster sooner or later. Maybe I should nip the danger in the cradle before it's too late."

"Maybe you should, but then no one will be able to tell you where otrus is." Zhang Heng light way.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, you threatened me first."

In the face of the powerful pressure given by the priestess, Zhang Heng did not retreat. Instead, he fought tit for tat and did not give in. It seemed that he had not considered the consequences of provoking each other. If the old trainer was here, he would be angry, because Zhang Heng didn't listen to a word when he was on the bridge.

But when Zhang Heng finished his sentence, there was a long silence outside the car.

The priestess outside seemed to be thinking about whether to ask someone to throw Zhang hengzhen into the river, but after a while, the baffle on Zhang Heng's head was removed.

The voice outside, as cold as marble, said, "now you can come out."

Zhang Heng Wen Yan climbed out of the narrow carriage, and then pointed to the black cloth on his face, "what about this thing?"

"Don't push an inch. If you don't want to die, you'd better wear it honestly."

"It seems that you haven't had a good time recently, otherwise it would be boring to live so carefully."

The black cloth is not completely sealed. The light outside can penetrate through, and Zhang Heng can see a vague outline, which should be the priestess herself, but the other person's face should still be wearing a mask. In other words, even if he suddenly takes off the cloth strip on his face, he can't see the other person's true face.

The greater significance of the cloth is just to test whether he is loyal or not.

The priestess said, "we don't need to live happily, just remember the meaning of everyone's existence."

"It's pure faith. It's admirable." Zhang Heng paused, "but, with all due respect, if it's true, why do you want to see me in private from other people?"

The priestess laughed, her laughter as cold as her voice. "You think you know everything, don't you?"

"I never said that myself." Zhang Heng said calmly.

"You are as arrogant as the rumor has it that you have won the championship in Flavian amphitheater and gained freedom by accident, so you don't want to put the blade of balance in your eyes again."

"I don't think it's an accident that I got my freedom." Zhang Heng said calmly.

"Then you're not stupid enough. Since we can give you freedom, we can take it away from you, no matter whether you hold Commaud's thigh or not." The priestess said coldly.

"It sounds like your political allies are quite strong, so I can rest assured. In that case, what else can I do for you?"

The priestess snorted, "there's something for you to do."

"Is this the oracle?"

"No The priestess said after a long silence.

"Is that an order from the assassin Council, approved by more than half of the assassins?"

"Not either."

"Oh, then why should I listen to you?" Zhang Hengdao.

Along the way, Zhang Heng had been thinking about the reason why the priestess suddenly met him. As the other side, there was no need to take such an adventure. Besides, she had to hide from other assassins of the balance blade. As soon as they met, she seemed hostile, which was also abnormal.

Zhang Heng carefully recalled that he should have done nothing to offend her before, so there is only one possibility for the other party to adopt this attitude.

- the other party asks for help from him, but he doesn't want to get hold of it. That's why he uses this method to intimidate him and try to take the initiative. This is a very clever political skill.

However, it's OK for her to deal with those simple assassins who have no political experience. It's a bit too much for her to deal with Zhang Heng. At the beginning, Zhang Heng was able to cope with the complicated political environment on Nassau island. How could she be so easily frightened.Therefore, when they first met, the conversation was full of gunpowder. The two sides fought each other, and neither of them would step back. Finally, they were even.

But this result is a failure for the priestess, because she is the one who has something to ask for. Once she loses the initiative, it means that she will not have much bargaining power in the next negotiation.

However, Zhang Heng did not force too tight, after all, negotiations also have to listen to each other's offer. Then he said, "tell me what you want me to do first."

"I hope you don't kill otrus when you find him." The words of the priestess are astonishing.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "wait, I heard you right. You, the priest of cleis, are asking me not to kill the target of the oracle?"

"No, I didn't ask you to spare otrus, I just asked you not to kill him so soon when you find him." The priestess stressed, "the situation has changed during this period. I need to learn something from him first, so I hope you will tell me after you find his whereabouts. I will send someone to chat with him first, but don't worry, I will still leave him to you after that, so that you can complete the test, and you won't have any loss."

"So it seems that the gods you believe in are not forward-looking, and then what?"

"Then don't you want to go into the library? Because of your belief and position, other assassins of the organization may not agree to let you into the library, but I can directly take you in, bypass the vote of the assassin Council, you help me, I help you, we get what we need, what do you think? " The priestess finally threw out her chips.
