Chapter 253: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
Zhang Heng used the fastest speed to deal with the male priest who had fallen out to release the water, and then came to the temple door and glanced inside.
Unlike the pitch black in the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Juno was brightly lit.
Zhang Heng saw two entourages helping a male priest sort out something, which should have been valuable information from the mouths of those children just now.
The position of the three of them was a little far away from the gate, and Zhang Heng estimated that it would be difficult for him to touch the three of them before the other party noticed it, so Zhang Heng took off the [Plague Bone Arch] on his back.
The first arrow accurately hit the throat of an attendant, and before the attendant could speak, his body slid down the marble pillar behind him, and another attendant beside him was awakened by the movement of the arrow into his body, and while drawing his weapon, he opened his mouth to warn loudly, but he didn't expect that he would follow in the footsteps of his companion, and the second arrow came much faster than he expected, and it pierced directly through his heart.
In order to solve these two entourages in the shortest possible time, Zhang Heng used ordinary arrows for the first arrow, but for the second arrow, he used [Paris's Arrow], that is, he immediately released his finger after aiming at it, and the next moment the automatic hit of [Paris's Arrow] took effect, and he corrected the flight route.
And when the two attendants fell, the priest who was immersed in arranging the papyrus realized something and raised his head, but Zhang Heng's Persian sword was already on his neck.
"Where's Otlus?" Zhang Heng said in a low voice.
"Who?" The priest looked a little panicked, "I don't know what Otlus is, this is the temple of Juno the Queen of Heaven, we don't have much money, if you want to rob someone, you should go to those nobles under the mountain." ”
"You know I'm not here for the money." Zhang Hengdao.
However, as soon as he had finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from behind the statue room.
The priest's face showed a hint of joy, knowing that someone was coming this way, and the stealth journey of the man in black in front of him was probably coming to an end.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng reacted simply when he heard the footsteps, and directly pushed the Persian sword in his hand into his neck, and the priest looked at the blood coming out of his throat, and it seemed a little incredulous.
And Zhang Heng had already leaned sideways outside the entrance of the corridor.
The owner of the footsteps saw the priest who was holding his neck before he got out of the corridor, so he subconsciously wanted to walk in to see what was going on, but he saw a figure plunging into his arms, and Zhang Heng also took advantage of this leap to insert a dagger into the heart of the comer.
So far, he has eliminated five enemies, basically all within one move, trying not to let the dead make too much noise and be discovered.
It's not that Zhang Heng suddenly wanted to pursue a five-star achievement of stealth clearance on a whim, but because he knew that Aotrus had a secret passage that could lead directly to Commodus's study, and the other end of the secret passage was likely to be connected to the temple, and in addition, Zhang Heng didn't know if there was another exit or something along the way.
In order not to make trouble for himself as much as possible, Zhang Heng certainly hoped that this trouble could be solved before Aoterus drilled into the secret passage, so he chose to fight stealthily.
So far, the progress has been quite smooth, although he has not been able to ask the location of Otrumus directly from the mouth of the male priest, but fortunately, the temple is not particularly large, Zhang Heng put away the [Paris Arrow] and continued to walk along the corridor.
The oil lamp on the stone wall of the corridor was not as bright as in the hall outside, casting Zhang Heng's shadow onto the wall, shaky and a little gloomy.
In particular, there are one or two stone rooms in the surrounding area, which seem to be quite old, and they should have been the rooms where the priests lived hundreds of years ago, but then the temple has been expanded several times, and now the priests have a new residence, and it has become a place to store archives and sundries.
However, Zhang Heng walked for a while and found some things wrong, first of all, he had walked a long way, and he could feel that the terrain had been decreasing, and secondly, there were many more stone chambers here than the Jupiter Temple next door, and many of the stone chambers were still connected to each other, like a labyrinth, so Zhang Heng had to pay attention to the path he had walked when searching.
But with a loud rumbling sound, Zhang Heng turned around again and found that there was suddenly an extra boulder on the road when he came.
At the same time, the voice of Ortrus sounded behind him.
"Who sent you to kill me?"
Zhang Heng turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from, but there was only a stone wall there, and there was no figure, and at the same time, Ottrus's sneer sounded again, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't see me, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
"I want to hear about it." Zhang Heng walked to the stone wall as he spoke, looking up at it.
"This is Hades," Ortrus' voice was a little eerie, "except for people like me who have died once, no living person can get out of here......
"Huh." Zhang Heng knew that the Hades were not just mythical, in fact, there was a Hades in the Roman Forum.
Right next to the gilded pillar, which symbolizes the beginning of all roads, there is a small building, the upper part of which was called the umbilical cord by the Romans, and the lower part of which is Hades. The people of Rome believed that the living world on earth and the private world below were connected by a crack, and that Hades would open its doors for three days a year, and these days were also considered evil days.
But of course Zhang Heng wouldn't believe these things, he quickly found what he was looking for on the stone wall, it was a copper pipe, hidden in the cracks of the stone, and Ottrus relied on this copper pipe to let his voice come over, and pretended to be a ghost with the gimmick of the underworld.
Zhang Heng leaned close to the copper pipe and muttered a few vague words, he knew that at this time, Aoterus Bacheng on the other side of the copper pipe was pricking up his ears and carefully distinguishing what he was talking about, so Zhang Heng took out a dagger and scraped it the copper pipe a few times.
On the other side, Ottrus immediately realized what an enhanced version of the chalk board was, and he almost didn't vomit out of dinner by someone's wave attack.
Zhang Heng is not idle, purely to block Aotrus, Otlus is smart this time, but he was mistaken by cleverness, and he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, wanting to scare Zhang Heng with the name of Hades and his own vocal separation.
I have to admit that his methods are still quite powerful in this era, coupled with his home-made truth elixir before, Zhang Heng even felt that Ottrus was wronged by Commodus as a consultant, he should be an inventor or a scientific pioneer in the second century AD, and enlighten all mankind.
But this little spark of his thoughts was completely at the level of the second grade of primary school in front of Zhang Heng, who had received nine years of compulsory education and approached the baptism of science, and Zhang Heng also judged from the fact that Aoterus could hear him speak by the brass, and the latter was not far from him.
Zhang Heng sent Outrus a set of sonic attacks in the hope of angering Outrus, so that Outrus didn't have to rush to drill the tunnel and honestly wait for him to come to the door.
