Chapter 30: The Second Scroll

Seeing that the other party was willing to explain honestly, Zhen Xiang said to Ishtar: "Okay, you can let him go."

Ishtar shook his hand and let go of the assassin's head and said, "Lord Saint, please don't let me do this kind of hard work in the future, so that it is more appropriate for the Knight Captain Garsilon to do it." ”

"Didn't he know what my smile was like? What if he couldn't help but open his eyes for a moment and saw me, wouldn't it be manslaughter? Zhen Xiang asked the Assassin, "So what are you going to say next?" Who is the man who sent you? ”

The assassin glanced up at Zhen Xiang with trepidation, and then asked, "What is that......?" You won't be laughing anymore, will you? ”

Zhen Xiang said calmly: "If you don't say it again, I don't dare to guarantee whether I can control my mouth." ”

The assassin panicked, "I'll say it!" The man who sent me was actually the one who sent me...... I'll tell you the truth, I'm actually a magician of the temple myself. It's just that I'm a magician trained by the previous Pope, and now I'm working under Elder Wilde and don't usually show up in the Temple, so the Pope doesn't know me......"

Wilde? The name...... How does it feel like it's the name of an artist in your own world......

Zhen Xiang looked at Ishtar, who nodded and said, "Indeed, Elder Wilde has always disliked the Pope. When the Pope first took office, Elder Wilde was the one who was most vehemently opposed...... It was only because there was no suitable candidate for the pope at that time that Elder Wilde had no choice but to let the Pope take office......"

The assassin saw that Zhen Xiang was still waiting for him to speak, so he said, "Also! Elder Wilde told me that when I assassinated the Holy Maiden, I must choose the most visible situation, and if I killed the Holy Maiden in front of everyone's eyes, the Pope would lose part of his credibility, and he would not be able to protect the Holy Maiden in the temple, and after the Holy Maiden was killed, he would not be able to find the murderer behind it...... In fact, I had hidden a wrapped poison between my teeth before the mission, and I was going to kill myself by eating the poison when I was caught......"

Zhen Xiang was curious when he heard this: "Then why are you still alive now?" Are you afraid of death? ”

"No......" the assassin blushed, "I...... Before I could eat the poison, the chief knight shoved the cup into his mouth, and then the poison between my teeth fell right into the cup and fell down the cup to the ground......"

That's really embarrassing...... Fortunately, Gasilun's guy is fast, otherwise this last clue would have been cut off.

So Zhen Xiang patted the assassin on the shoulder and asked, "Is there anyone at home?" ”

The Assassin replied, "No one...... I am an orphan who was adopted by a previous pope...... So after the death of the previous pope, I went with Elder Wilde, who had the best relationship with the Pope......"

Zhen Xiang nodded, and said: "Then you don't have to follow that Wilde in the future, follow me, I promise you will eat meat every day." ”

"I ...... I'm vegan......"

"......" Zhen Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Can you give some face?" You ...... Forget it, anyway, you've done it all now, and I promise you that I won't hurt you. But the person who ordered you to do this is an elder of the temple, and you must have no way to go back, right? What are you going to do now? Mess with me and let me cover you, or ...... Fleeing to the ends of the earth? To the south of Heaney's swamp, the power of the temple is not very large, so you shouldn't be found if you go there, right? ”

The magician pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you are willing to accept me, I will surely saddle your horse and do your best, and then die!" ”

"I suddenly don't want you anymore......" When Zhen Xiang said this, he saw that the other party's face became extremely ugly, so he waved his hand and said, "Teasing you, what are you doing so seriously?" I mean...... If you're willing to follow me, be careful that you might be killed by another Assassin sent by Wilde at any time. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Holy Maiden, you can expose Elder Wilde!" As long as I testify, I can make the assassination of you by Elder Wilde public, and even if he were an elder of the Temple, he would not be able to be forgiven......"

"Was it useful for you to testify?" Zhen Xiang spread his hands and said, "Let's not say that we don't have any evidence to prove that you were sent by him, even if you have that evidence...... When the time comes, he won't admit it, and then he will find another opportunity to kill you, and in the end, he will die without proof. ”

Ishtar also nodded and said, "What the Holy Maiden said is right, we have no evidence to prove that Elder Wilde sent you to assassinate the Holy Maiden. Even if we are asked next, we can only say that you are a survivor of a bandit den that was wiped out by the Temple, and you chose to assassinate the Holy Maiden for revenge. No one else can know about this except to tell His Holiness the Pope and the Chief Templar......"

The magician had no choice but to say, "So...... So, Holy Maiden, can you guarantee the safety of my life......"

"Don't be cowardly, you have prepared poison before to have the courage to commit suicide, but now you are afraid of being killed by Wilde?"

"I ...... I was impulsive at the time, but now that brute force is gone, I still want to survive......"

Zhen Xiang didn't mind taking this guy in, but Zhen Xiang was also a little worried about whether what he said was true? Was it the elder named Wilde who sent him to kill himself? Or in fact, everything he is saying now is false, and it is also his plan to surrender to himself and be his own subordinate. All in order to be able to assassinate yourself more easily in the future......

It's not that Zhen Xiang doesn't want to believe others, but Zhen Xiang was frightened by the sneak attack just now, in case of such a sneak attack in the future, can Ishtar still save himself?

Ania and they are not there, they can't do anything by themselves, and they have someone next to them who may kill them at any time...... It's too risky to do that.

So Zhen Xiang said to him: "I won't let you be my subordinate, I just said that I was just teasing you, but if you want, you can go to work with the current pope, I can make an exception for the pope to accept you, of course, the premise is that you are willing to work hard." If you know that you are fishing and paddling all day after you go, there is nothing the Pope can do about it. ”

"That'...... So I...... I would like to work under His Holiness the Pope! ”
