"Egypt, can I still get in touch with you?"

"Yes." Unas replied.

"So...... Tell them not to use force lightly, I am out of danger now, and I will be able to return soon. My fingers slowly circled the cup: "Don't say a word about anything else." ”

Unas was silent and nodded.

There was a sound of the door opening from the front, and Unas looked guarded, and I said, "Don't worry, it's Immorton who has returned." ”

He turned to look at me, and I said, "I can hear his footsteps." ”

Immorton did return, and he walked over to the table and poured himself a glass of water, but before he could drink it, the copper cup had been pinched and shaped.

He stood there with a grim face, and I distinctly heard the slight rattle of the bones in his hands from too much force.

"Did you see him?"

"Yes, from afar." "I don't even know how I got back, in my imagination I've killed him countless times, each time in a different way, each time taking longer than the last," Immorton said. ”

I took his hand, his palms hot and his fingertips cold.

"There's no chance now, but there will come a day."

He nodded, and I asked with some trepidation, "Little Golden ......"

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

I let out a cheer as I saw the gold slipping out of his sleeve.

But Xiao Jin was silent and his eyes were closed.

"Hungry." "It's been a long time since it's eaten, it's too weak," Immorton said. ”

So what to do? Starving to such an extent that it is a bit difficult to get it to wake up and eat on its own. But there is no nutritional infusion in this era.

"I'll mix some vegetable paste and stuff it down, and it'll be fine." "You know, there are places where snakes hibernate, and it's okay to sleep for a long time without eating," Immorton said. This guy is going to be fine, don't worry. ”

The three of us made food for Kim together, because there was nothing else to do right now. But while doing it, we are discussing about leaving.

"Did they doubt your identity?"

"No, it won't." Immorton said, "Who would doubt a noble priest in these days? ”

I smiled and watched as Unas cut the dish into strips, diced, and minced. His knife is so fast, and so are his hands. But when he chopped vegetables, why did he have a murderous aura? I don't think this handful of greens should have offended him when he was alive......

Maybe he thinks this greens is some imaginary enemy, and is cutting the flesh of the enemy?

"Then when do you think the city defense will be loosened? How can we leave? ”

"I'll have people set it up and make an illusion of someone running away outside the city and by the sea, and I think the city defense will always be loosened. Although the sea route to Egypt is now sealed, we can take a detour back to Egypt via Assyria. Immorton squeezed Kim's mouth open and fed him the mixed vegetable batter.

Vegetarian snake ...... Well, there's probably only one in the world.

Because of the hurry, I forgot about it when I left last night. I feel sorry for it.

However, Xiao Jin, who soon woke up, was first extremely irritable, as if someone had stripped off a piece of scales and bitten off the tip of his tail, and then he lay there motionless like a punctured balloon, which was very abnormal.

I picked it up, whispered sorry to it, and forgot it in the palace of Vitado.

Kim tilted his head and ignored me.

It's angry, isn't it?

I touched it and put it down, but in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around my hand, and it was very tight.

I wonder if it wants revenge for throwing it away, and therefore wants to pull itself into my flesh.

I asked Immorton to find me two men's clothes, I wasn't short, so I could wear a slightly thinner men's robe, and then I wanted to cut my hair short, but the two men next to me didn't agree. Immorton said things weren't that dangerous, and Unas said that the Bitados had a habit of keeping their hair and that they would hide knives in their hair, so I could just tie my hair up without cutting it off.

Then the rest of the time we dug a cellar, which was necessary. Because the pit had just been dug and hidden, another inspection came.

I sat in the cellar with Unas, the narrow bottom and the walls supported by stone slabs, and I didn't feel damp or smelly of mud. We listened as the men came in, searched, and then left again.

There is also the problem of food, because Immorton himself lives in this courtyard behind the temple, and it turns out that he does not open a group, but others only send one food, but there are three of us, which is obviously not enough. So Unas went out every day, bought or stole some food, I asked him for practical experience in swordsmanship, my actual combat is far from enough, and he is a professional who is full of knives and kills people without blinking, I am an amateur among amateurs, this kind of experience is not something that can be learned in a good life in the deep palace, I have to learn a lot.

For example, Immorton and Unas can cook food and taste good, while I, although I have eaten well in the past few years, my ten fingers have really never touched a drop of spring water. It's really hard to say what I can make the next time I cook. The old man taught me something about how to survive in the wild, but knowing and practicing are two different things.

When you think of an old man, you will inevitably think of another person at that time.

Izmi under the pseudonym Luka.

At that time he looked ...... is still a jade tree-like teenager.

Right now...... The appearance is still a jade tree, but it is a jade tree with a black and rotten core.

The boy who was eating barbecue with me is gone.

Unas told me that his reaction had become instinctive, and that even his hairs stood on end when the blade approached. Judgment of killing machines, sensitivity to attacks......

I think I really need to hone on this, I used to rely too much on Xiaojin.

Unas sneaked out at night a few times, but I think if his goal is to kill Izmi again, then this mission is impossible to complete at this stage, and Immorton also persuaded him, telling him that we are still in danger now, and even if we can kill him, the three of them will probably be exposed together.

Unas was more silent than ever, wiping his blade and sword all day.

The royal city of Bittado is still completely locked down, and the king and prince of Bittado are not seriously injured, and in this age of no antibiotics, inflammation can be fatal. No one can come in, and no one can get out. The soldiers continued to search for the Assassins from house to house, but each time it was more routine than usual.

When I woke up during the night, Immorton gave me the bed, and he and Unas were bunks outside.

I felt a little cold and sweaty.

Immorton's voice came from outside: "What's wrong?" ”

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead: "It's nothing...... I had a nightmare. ”

He was silent for a moment: "Do you want to drink water?" ”

"No need." I thought for a moment: "Can you ......?"

Before I could say what I wanted, I heard him get up, come in with a felt and pillow, and lay it out in front of my bed.

I looked at him with a blanket, and he whispered, "I'm here with you, sleep, don't be afraid." ”

I nodded, and lay down again.

Immorton whispered poetry in the dark......

The Nile, the river of life......

From the beginning, to eternity......

His voice was low and excitingly magnetic, like a whirling night wind, like a ......

It is like the sound of the Nile River flowing slowly, which makes people feel inexplicably intoxicated by peace.

I don't know how long he kept reading, but I just remember that it seemed that the warm and gentle voice had not gone away.

It's always there, which makes me down-to-earth and at ease.

The next day, there was good news, and Immorton's old suspicions had finally worked. It's not for me to say, this suspicious array also needs some skills, it can't be too obvious, it will make people question. Of course, it's too superficial and not easy for people to spot. It took a few days of work for Immorton and the spies from Egypt to work together to finally remove martial law from the city. But the sea ban is still in place.

We can finally leave.
