7. Scorpio Party
The hallway of the garden of the mansion.
The two brothers, Cuman and Oman, were anxiously waiting.
Octavian and Li Xiang came over.
The two brothers said in unison: "Augustus! ”
Octavian nodded.
Cuman saw that there were outsiders present, but he didn't dare to say anything in his heart.
Octavian, knowing that the two brothers were cautious men, said, "Oh! It doesn't matter, just say what you have, and you don't need to shy away from it. ”
"Our brothers divided into two routes, one for the tailor and the other for the blacksmith." Cuman said.
"I went to the tailor's house and found the tailor naked and hanged." Orman said.
Octavian was surprised: "'Dead'? ”
"At the time, I thought it was suicide, but all of a sudden, the tailor's cloth piled up, and a masked man in black appeared." Orman said.
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "The tailor must have been killed by the man in black, originally wanted to pretend to commit suicide, but because you went quickly, the man in black didn't get out in time, hid behind the pile of cloth, and waited for you to leave, he left again." ”
"Did the man in black get it?" Octavian asked hurriedly.
Orman replied, "Two brothers were killed, but the man in black escaped. "It's very sad.
Octavian thought to himself: The two Auman brothers are all top masters of the Holy Martial Hall, and they have not been able to capture them, it seems that the man in black is really not simple!
Orman continued, "The Man in Black has used a secret weapon. ”
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "'Hidden weapon'? ”
Orman gave the six-pointed star dart to Octavian.
Octavian took the dart, looked at it, and gave it to Li Xiang again.
As soon as Li Xiang saw the shape of the dart, he immediately thought of the symbol of the Jews, so he blurted out, "Star of David".
The three of them said in unison: "'Star of David'?!" ”
"What is the Star of David?" Cuman asked.
Li Xiang thought to himself: Oops! If this is a sign of the Jews, then Judea will have to suffer terrible bad luck, and now Judea is only a very inconspicuous province under the jurisdiction of the "Roman Empire", the assassination of the "emperor" is equivalent to rebellion, as long as the "emperor" ordered, a brutal massacre is naturally inevitable, and with the current comprehensive strength of the Jews, there is no other way than to become a lamb to the slaughter. I knew I wouldn't have much to talk about, but now I really want to pump my mouth. At this time, I accidentally looked up and saw the brightest star in the sky, and I had an idea, and said, "Oh! I said that this dart looked a lot like the brightest star in the sky, the brightest star, and we called it the 'Star of David'. ”
"Oh! You say that star! We don't call it 'Star of David' here, we call it 'North Star'. Cuman said.
Li Xiang smiled secretly, continued to study, saw the scorpion pattern in the middle of the dart, and hurriedly said, "There is a scorpion on it." ”
"Not only that, but the material of this dart is quite special, neither gold, not silver, not copper, not iron." Orman said.
Cuman said: "No one in the city of Rome knows such a special material. ”
Li Xiang took a closer look at the dart, then checked it with his hand, and said, "It's not too heavy." ”
"It wasn't heavy, but it was shot deep into the stone by the man in black." Orman said.
Li Xiang felt a little incredible, and said, "A dart can shoot into a stone, but it can still not be deformed?" It looks like this thing must be made of some kind of 'super alloy'.
The three of them said in unison: "'Super Alloy'? ”
"It's an alloy that's more powerful than ordinary alloys." Li Xiang replied.
"If you know the approximate composition of this 'super alloy', you can synthesize this metal, and then use this alloy to make weapons, so that the weight of swords, shields and spears will be lighter, but the hardness will be stronger." Octavian said.
Cuman answered, saying, "Helmets and armor should also be made of this alloy." ”
"By the way, there are also chariots, in short, everything that can be changed has been changed, and it is absolutely invincible to start a war like this!" Auman said.
Li Xiang thought to himself: Listening to it, these three are obviously "warmongers" with leaping thinking, and they can actually expand from alloys that don't know what composition to war, I really obey You!
Octavian said to Li Xiang: "Li Xiang! You're an angel of God! I guess I know everything, right? Do you know the material of this dart? ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: although part of the company's business was the development and trade of metal resources in the past, and he had a certain understanding of a considerable part of the metal, he was not a 'metal analyzer', how could he know the specific composition and formula ratio by casually touching an alloy?
Octavian saw that Li Xiang had been speechless for a long time, and his face was embarrassed, so he said, "Is it inconvenient to reveal it to us?" If so, then I'm not going to be able to force others. ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: How can I answer this? If I directly answer that I don't know, I am afraid that they will doubt my identity as a 'divine envoy', treat me as a 'divine stick', and let me be imprisoned for ten years and eight years, then I will vomit blood. But if I lie to them that I know what the dart is made of, it will die sooner than if I pretended to be a so-called 'divine messenger'.
Seeing that Li Xiang still didn't speak, as if he was "fugue", the three of them looked at each other.
At this time, Li Xiang said: "If I really know everything, then I am not a 'divine messenger' but a god, right?" ”
Octavian smiled and said, "It's better if you just say you don't know?" Still thinking about it for a long time? Is it perennial 'with the king like a tiger', becoming cautious in words and deeds? ”
"'Companion is like a tiger'? I? ”
"Aren't you a 'divine messenger'? It should be a perennial service to God, right? ”
Li Xiang smiled and nodded against his will.
Cuman went on to talk about the darts, "As far as we know, the scorpion motif on the darts originated from a mysterious group of assassins called the 'Scorpions'. ”
Octavian said: "'Scorpio'? So, is there anything more detailed about this Scorpio? ”
"Some say it's in Judea, some say it's in Mesopotamia, and some say it's rest." Orman replied.
"Others say it's in Arabia. ”
"In that case, it means that there are no clues." Octavian said.
"Oh! I remember that the man in black was as light as a swallow, as if he could fly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Orman said.
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "That's light work." ”
"'Light work'?" Orman asked.
"I've only seen it in martial arts movies."
The three of them were surprised and said in unison: "'Martial arts film'? ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: Every sentence must be explained, if it goes on like this, won't it tire people to death! Forget it, don't explain. So he took out the mobile phone stuffed in his waist pocket, found a martial arts movie video in the mobile phone and clicked play.
Looking at this small box of sound and filming, it is really magical, and the plot of the movie is very exciting, the three of them actually watched the video attentively, until the video was broadcast, and the three of them were still unsatisfied.
Li Xiang shook his sore arm, shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "Isn't the light skill of the man in black similar to that in martial arts movies?" ”
Orman nodded and said, "It's about the same, but it seems to be more powerful in martial arts movies." ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: The martial arts movies are just stunts! The man in black is a real kung fu.
Octavian said, "What about the Germanic blacksmith?" ”
"His head was cut off, and his head was hung on the wall." Cuman replied.
"So cruel!" Li Xiang said.
Octavian pondered, and after a while, suddenly said, "Go, go to the house of Achillus."
