On a rainy night in the Imperial City, the Assassin decided to pledge his allegiance to the Emperor for the rest of his life.

- Shadow of the Blade

The weather in Rome was not calm, the summer was so hot that it didn't rain, so it wasn't suitable for growing crops, and the winter was rainy and sometimes snowy. Winter is already cold, coupled with rain, humid air, and evaporation and heat absorption of water on clothes, for some people, it is very easy to catch a cold and get sick.

A cold is not a big deal and only needs to be treated by a natural energy person. But the problem is that not everyone can afford a doctor. For a fragmented country, where there is no social security, health insurance, and even barbaric slavery, everyone but meat eaters is destined to be insulated from doctors.

Therefore, for most people, a cold means death. Moist air is conducive to the growth of bacteria, and at the same time, the decaying human body will also become the best breeding ground for bacteria, and even such things as gangrene, followed by plague, mass death, wailing. But who cares? Whenever a large-scale infectious disease occurs, it is always an inescapable nightmare in people's hearts.

Unlike Earth, though, natural energy works horribly well for this simple plague. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of such things, so the nobles do not need to hide in the countryside like Boccaccio's Decameron during the Great European Plague.

Du Long still remembers that winter, when the clammy air was accompanied by salty rain.

He has already become the number one assassin in Great Qin, he hangs over the streets, because of his proper identity cover, genius quick killing methods, the hidden effect of the natural energy of the shadow, coupled with his cautious and thoughtful personality, everyone in Great Qin has heard his code name, but they don't know who he is. His name is "Hidden Dragon", and he is already firmly at the top of the black market assassin price, and it is worth mentioning that at that time, the Dark Queen and the Demon Clown had not yet been born. The rose has not even been born yet.

The dragon here is not the dragon of the Nine Heavens, nor is it the dragon of the hidden dragon in the abyss. It's the dragon of the big lizard, a dragon as huge as a mountain and as black as a night. It's not auspicious, it's a ferocious beast. Their favorite thing is spitting, each spitting a village, their favorite thing is gold and silver treasures, but they never do it themselves, in any Western fantasy, the stereotype of this dragon is powerful, arrogant and unsightly.

Of course, the dragon has disappeared, and it has been gone for an unknown number of years. Maybe it was in the calamity that the whole clan died. After all, the Darkspawn is their favorite, especially the charcoal-grilled dragon wings.

The Hidden Dragon's mission completion rate is 100%. All of his targets were killed. For the genius Assassin Du Long, he was even able to kill people according to his employer's dictated death. Of course, the means are not brutal, really.

At that time, he was not called Du Long, because he had no culture, he did not have a name.

Yes, the most powerful assassin of Great Qin, drunk like a dead dog on the street. He still remembers the feeling of nausea mixed with nausea, and he still remembers the deep feeling of despair and helplessness. It's not because of some old tunes like romance and green grasslands. The reason is very simple.

Pestilence.

The eldest brother died, and the eldest brother saved him before his death and took him into the sewer brotherhood.

The eldest brother is not a good person, but Du Long is grateful to him. If he didn't have his eldest brother, he could only leave Rome in desperation and go to other parts of Great Qin to sell himself into slavery.

The house is not big, and it smells a bit outside. But a person struggling with hunger will not refuse a bite of food.

The eldest brother is dead, the three cripples are dead, the little ghost is dead, and the barking tiger is dead.

All dead.

In fact, after the development, Du Long's contact with them has been a little less. However, when I learned of their death, I was still so sad. No, it's not really sad. For people like them, the shadow of death is never far away. He was used to parting. The sorrow disappeared little by little as it became commonplace, leaving only incomprehension and doubt.

Why?

He began to wonder why.

Why is their life the way it is? If this is true for all people, it may be providence. But not all of us are like that, are they? Some people get cold in winter, but some people don't. Some people are hungry, but others are not.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

So, he had no choice but to leave.

He took on a mission of rank that he had never taken on before: to assassinate the Emperor.

Du Long's eyes froze and smiled. The sad and sad feeling at that time has disappeared little by little with the years, leaving only memories of the past stories and a little residual feeling.

"Li Tai. Do you know what I used to do? Du Long asked.

"The villain doesn't know." Li Tai arched his hand, expressing his joy and sincerity. It doesn't look like Du Long's top boss.

"It's normal that you don't know. His Majesty destroyed almost all of my information. When I'm dead, no one will remember me. But after His Majesty died, my fame grew a little bit, which is ironic. ”

Du Long laughed twice. By this point, they had come back from the outside. After a brief chat, there is not much to say, nothing more than how Great Qin was in the past, how it is now, and the situation of the prosperous era.

The two sat down.

"Actually, it's very simple."

"At that time, I wanted to assassinate Emperor Ducateo." Dulong said.

The general laughed. Who doesn't know that the first emperor crushed the world with the power of one person, and the space of one hand was destroyed, and no one in the world was invincible. The armed forces can be called the first in the world. Although the general is brave, I think he may not be able to defeat the first emperor. Li Tai said.

"Qi."

"At that time, I was young, young people, who didn't have a dream of being the best in the world."

"What's more, at that time, no matter whether I lived or died, I wanted to do a big job." Dulong said.

"He's strong, but I'm not weak. Although I can't fight on the battlefield to defeat others, but when it comes to killing people and sneaking attacks? Hum. Then I'm really a god who appreciates food, and no one will accept it. ”

Li Tai nodded.

"Needless to say, mages have no armor and no reflexes. I said kill whoever I kill, warrior, I have fought in the south and north in the past few years. In addition to the metamorphosis of the Ji family, I can also defeat them all with endless means, or even kill them, the attack power of tank heroes is too low, and they are very useful on the battlefield, but in a single scene like this, I let him have one hand, and it is still worthwhile! Du Long said.
