Chapter 270: Realistic Assassin
The breeze was blowing in the woods, and a light mist was already faintly spreading, and it did look like it was going to rain heavily.
Shen Mengting casually looked around, and then inserted the giant sword in her hand into the scabbard behind her back. In this way, her hands were free. Perhaps not used to the feeling of her hands being idle, she tried to raise her hands as if she were holding something to feel the current rain.
"It's not raining too much now!" moved her mouth intentionally or unintentionally, and Shen Mengting put down her hand with relief.
The drizzle-like environment makes people feel a different feeling. However, Shen Mengting knows very well that the current situation is still extremely critical, and there should be no relaxation at all.
"Okay! Don't hide anything! You saw what happened just now! Now is not the time to calm down and talk about things. So......" Shen Mengting clasped her arms with both hands, "Chen Tianhao, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Since Shen Mengting said this, Chen Tianhao was ready to be frank and honest. He smashed his eyes into his socket and glanced at Shen Mengting next to him, "You are really a straightforward person!"
"Yes, that's the kind of person I am. Okay, just say whatever you want!" Shen Mengting pouted at the other party, "Why did you remember to follow us after separation?"
Chen Tianhao first took a deep breath, and then confided in relief, "There is one thing I hope you don't misunderstand." As I said, I think your team is good, and it's not a lie. Although it was only a short night, your spirit of helping each other, understanding each other, and worrying about each other's situation really did affect me. I also really feel the warmth of the team from a few of you!"
Before the words were spoken, Chen Tianhao had completely turned around. He didn't look at it with squinted eyes, but looked at Shen Mengting firmly with his eyes.
Shen Mengting could feel the sincerity of the assassin, and she could almost confirm that Chen Tianhao was not lying!
"I know that, don't worry, I've said I'll believe you before, so you don't have to explain anything to me about the 'sincerity of the team'. ”
Chen Tianhao nodded quickly. This nod carries many complex emotions, such as the simple meaning of 'knowing' and the thought of 'helplessness' to let it go.
"Of course for me......" Chen Tianhao took a deep breath and turned his body again. Even, this time he didn't even cast his gaze, "Actually, you should still know one thing - I'm an assassin who gallops between countries!" When he said this, his body unexpectedly straightened, "Then since I am an assassin! It means that I am definitely not the kind of fool who will be full of childish fantasies! In other words, I am a very realistic person." ”
"So when I think about some issues, I tend to think about them in terms of some realities!"
Shen Mengting was a little bored when she heard this, "Okay! I understand! If you have anything realistic, just tell it!"
Chen Tianhao twitched his body as if he was holding back. But soon, he came back to his senses, "You should be clear. I have come to your country of Salan to complete my mission. Unfortunately, the mission was a complete failure, and all of his companions died. Now, I'm the only one left. ”
"The rules of the League of Assassins are: Assassins who don't get things done must be punished! And I don't know how much I will be punished for my failure this time!
Shen Mengting didn't show much surprise when she heard this, "Oh, is that so?" she seemed to be talking to herself, nodding and pouting, "Well, this is normal! I have also heard a little about the rules of the Assassin Alliance." In fact, when you said goodbye, I was still a little worried about you!"
"So, I just hope to find a partner I can trust, and a place where I can help!" Chen Tianhao unconsciously glanced at Shen Mengting.
This time, Shen Mengting was surprised. She shrugged her shoulders as well, "Do you think we can help you?"
"Yes, I didn't say it before, but this team of yours makes me feel warm, so I want to join you. It's always unsafe to wander alone, so it's better to join a better team!"
"Oh! Chen Tianhao! In this way, you are also quite scheming!"
Chen Tianhao did not show any anger or embarrassment for the sudden sarcasm. He nodded slightly, "I always have been, who called me a treacherous assassin!" and he even grinned, revealing his slit-free and neatly aligned teeth.
Shen Mengting didn't show the slightest resistance when she heard this. She smiled shallowly, "Yes! That's understandable! Actually, I hope so." When you join the team, it's good for both of us. One is that you have the ability to be a high-level assassin and can be helpful to our team. And in turn, our team can come to protect you. It's a win-win-win-
"So, that's why I'm coming to you! Of course, I, Chen Tianhao, will definitely not treat you badly. As long as any of your enemies, I will do my best to help. It's like that ...... just now," Chen Tianhao shook his head to the side.
Shen Mengting knew that the 'that' in the assassin's mouth was referring to Zhang Zhijie.
"I really want to thank you just now!"
"No thanks! That's what I'm supposed to do. Anyway, as long as it is your enemy, I, Chen Tianhao, will kill it mercilessly! This is the principle of my repayment for your takeover!"
When Chen Tianhao's words went out, Shen Mengting entered a long period of deep thought. Just now, it was a conversation between you and me, but now it is quiet for a long time - Chen Tianhao is a little used to this.
After a breeze blew, Shen Mengting still rolled up her two dark eyes, "Well, Chen Tianhao, I have listened to your words too." Honestly, I can understand your behavior, but if you had chosen to go with us in the first place, that would have been great!"
"You know a lot of things, and you can only think about them more clearly in the past. It was so good to have a good face at the beginning, so I chose to part with you!"
"But now you've decided to come back, and you're fighting alongside me!"
"That's right, it's not too late to make amends!"
"En!" Shen Mengting chuckled, and her hand that clenched her arms immediately let go. It's just that she still didn't mean to take a step, "But Chen Tianhao!
"What's the matter?" asked Chen Tianhao with a straight face.
"Why would you ...... You'll think our team can protect you!" Shen Mengting shot out a gaze that was enough to see into the other party's inner thoughts, "The Assassin Alliance is a very powerful organization! I have heard that only members of the team who betray the organization will be hunted down to the ends of the earth! So...... How do you feel safe when you join our team?"
"I never thought that when I joined you, I would be safe. But it's better to have a companion to help you than to be alone!"
"But being alone also has the advantage of being alone!For example!" Shen Mengting's eyes twitched to the side, "You can go incognito and completely hide Chen Tianhao's identity!" With a shrug movement, Shen Mengting's head was crooked.
But Chen Tianhao shook his head helplessly, "Then you are a little underestimating the Assassin Alliance." This organization can be said to be a master of the clouds, and there are a lot of powerful assassins who will be sent to hunt me down. I'm never going to die well. The only way is to find a place that can protect me!"
"Oh! That's right!" Shen Mengting nodded thoughtfully. Her nodding was relatively small, in order to think about how powerful the 'League of Assassins' really was!
"And you are my best shelter!" Suddenly, Chen Tianhao actually cast a deep gaze at Shen Mengting, "Actually, you ......" There was a feeling of wanting to swallow in the middle of the sentence. But since then, Chen Tianhao is still determined to let out his words, "You are not idle people, right?"
The sudden words made Shen Mengting take a deep breath, and she quickly moved her gaze to Chen Tianhao. Chen Tianhao's current eyes are unprecedented, full of depression and hesitation.
"Chen Tianhao, you are ...... to say this."
"I can feel it. From being inside that mine, and from your conversations with a few of your friends. In addition......" Chen Tianhao's vision gradually began to disappear, and this look was to recall something, "plus you once described the Sauron Empire, saying the rights and wrongs of that country. From this I conclude that you are an official of the Saran State. How's that? I guess I'm right!"
Shen Mengting couldn't help but admire Chen Tianhao's insight ability. Even though she turned her head, her mood was still highly consistent with Chen Tianhao's, "Chen Tianhao!
"That's really the case!" Chen Tianhao sneered, "It seems that my bet is not wrong! You woman is either a relative of a prince or a minister, or an official in an important position. In short, you must be a woman with some power in the kingdom of Saran!"
Chen Tianhao's words almost hit Shen Mengting's heart, and Shen Mengting spread her hands as if she was no longer guarded, "Should I praise you for your insight as an assassin?"
"That's not necessary! I just want to say that it seems that I made the right bet today!" Chen Tianhao hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
That's exactly what he thought at the beginning. If he runs alone, he will one day be killed by the powerful Assassins sent by the Assassin League. And if he has the protection of a very powerful person in the local area, then he may be able to avoid the fate of being settled by the organization. Although he still had to be careful to prevent assassins from chasing him in the future, it would never be safer to be alone in the wilderness than to stay in the home of a powerful person.
So......
Chen Tianhao decided that it would be better to join Shen Mengting's team, even if the other party refused to take him in, then he must try. Chen Tianhao can only feel a little sense of security now.
"Well, now I understand everything! Okay! Your emotional intelligence really impresses me Shen Mengting. For the sake of your desperate efforts to save me, I will definitely do my best to protect you!"
"Oh! that's good!" Chen Tianhao continued to laugh.
Of course, his smile was echoed by Shen Mengting. Shen Mengting also pursed her lips and bloomed with a sweet smile.
"So...... It's all over!" Chen Tianhao looked into the distance, "What should we do now?"
Shen Mengting also quickly returned to a cautious state, "What should we ...... next" She also looked into the distance, but there was an incidental squinting movement, "Let's run away first!
"What about after you get out of the woods?"
"Of course I'm going to Qingse City! My previous destination is also here!" Shen Mengting moved her gaze, and the position she was looking at was naturally Qingse City facing north.
"Go to Qingse City!" Chen Tianhao snorted lightly. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. After violently moving his eyes, he still approached Shen Mengting before he asked the question that he should have asked a long time ago.
"That's right!" that person ......" looked a little hesitant, but Chen Tianhao still finished speaking, "Who is he?"
can feel the other party's cautious appearance now, Shen Mengting couldn't help but glance at Chen Tianhao is sharp. She knew very well that the 'person' Chen Tianhao asked was still Zhang Zhijie, who almost killed them just now.
"I'll tell you who he is later. But now......" Shen Mengting frowned and glanced in a direction similar to the north, that is, the south, "It's not safe for us to stay here for a long time. So I still recommend talking as you go!"
"Yes, yes, actually, that's exactly what I mean!" Chen Tianhao nodded quickly. This is also the true thought in his heart. If he hadn't seen Shen Mengting not move for a long time just now, he would have ignored the thirty-seven or twenty places, and would have run dozens of miles with a swift wind step before talking.
Although he only had a few tricks for a short time, Chen Tianhao also understood the horror of that magician very well. If it weren't for Chen Tianhao's sudden appearance, coupled with the mage's light enemy, they would not have had a chance to escape.
Therefore, Chen Tianhao thought that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and it was better to stay away as soon as possible, so as to prevent that terrible magician from attacking again.
"Then let's hurry up!" Shen Mengting shook her head at the other side.
"Yes, let's go!"
The two then went from being still to running. They didn't delay for a moment, but rushed forward in a bustling field through the woods. However, during the run, there is still a dialogue with each other.
"Chen Tianhao, I'll tell you about us now! You can open your ears and listen!" Waving her arms to her heart's content, Shen Mengting slowly raised her head.
"Say it!" didn't show much expectation, but in fact, Chen Tianhao's heart couldn't wait.
Today, in this forest, Chen Tianhao thought that he finally had to understand this different team.
The two of them ran forward vigorously, but their mouths never stopped. Shen Mengting told Chen Tianhao almost everything about her.
Chen Tianhao was stunned when he heard it. In the meantime, he even stopped abruptly because he was surprised. Fortunately, with Shen Mengting's constant urging, he was able to raise the pace again.
However, when he heard that the Sauron Empire was about to send troops to invade, Chen Tianhao could no longer hold back the surprise in his heart. He was stunned, and then stopped like a machine that had lost power.
Shen Mengting saw that the shadow next to her disappeared, so she suddenly stopped. At first, she instinctively looked left and right, and after that, she turned her head to look at Chen Tianhao, who was in a state of distraction.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Ahh......h This ......" Chen Tianhao's eyes finally got focused, and he turned his gaze to Shen Mengting in front of him, "What you said is too ......"
"It's surprising, right? Shen Mengting held her mouth tightly, and rushed to Chen Tianhao, who was behind her, "Everyone who hears this information will have the same reaction as you." ”
Thinking back to the first time they told Qian Hao and Shen Jun about such a thing, they were all very surprised.
"But...... But this is also ...... "Chen Tianhao seems to have lost his former sense of calm."
"Hey, why are you so surprised? You're not from Saran. The Sauron Empire is attacking the country of Salan!" Shen Mengting responded.
"I know that. But if the Solo Empire will attack Saran, it means that it will also attack the Shanluo Kingdom one day!"
Don't Chen Tianhao say this, Shen Mengting is right to think about it. The Thorin Empire has always had the ambition to unify all mankind, and after conquering their Saran country, it will definitely invade other human countries.
"Alas, it seems that this is indeed the case!" Shen Mengting sank her shoulders in disappointment.
"But it's too ...... It's too ...... too."
"What is it?"
Chen Tianhao stared at Shen Mengting directly, "I was very surprised when you just said that you were Shen Haiteng's daughter. But I didn't expect that there would be something more surprising to me in the future. You...... Are you sure the Sauron Empire is ready to use troops?"
"Of course I'm sure!, but ......" Shen Mengting wrinkled and shook the head on her neck, "Do you feel very strange about the fact that my father is Shen Haiteng?
"Of course I know!" Chen Tianhao's eyes actually showed a little admiration, "The top five swordsmen of Sailos, the pride of the human race......! You really have to be Shen Haiteng's daughter!"
Being praised by others so much about her father, Shen Mengting's heart was still a little relieved. She straightened her chest, "I don't have to lie to you about this! Shen Haiteng is indeed my father, and I will abide by his last wish to resist all enemies who invade our country!"
"Oh! that's right!" Chen Tianhao thought for a moment after hearing this.
"So, Chen Tianhao, what lies ahead of me and my team is a very difficult task! What we have to face is not just some enemy, but one of the most powerful countries in Celos!"
Shen Mengting said.
