When the gangsters heard this, they looked at each other, can they still play like this? Someone who robbed them of their money and then used that money to hire them?

What is this, a copper child calls them in vain without spending?

But now they do need money to spend, and in the end, the little gangster who took the lead reacted relatively quickly, they have lost this money, and if they don't agree, they won't be able to get the money back, so it's better to listen to the other party's conditions first.

So he spoke, "Do you want us to teach the people of the Unap Arena a lesson?" ”

"Oh no, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." Zhang Heng said, "It has nothing to do with Unap Arena, I just want you to help me investigate something else." ”

Zhang Heng briefly introduced the matter of the former antique dealer, and then said, "Under normal circumstances, Varro was sold, and it was indeed a waste to be thrown into the gladiator school with his ability, obviously someone had greeted Makruz in advance, Varro's wife and his friend were only civilians, and they shouldn't be able to do this, I need your help to check out, who is behind this, friendly reminder, can you find a slave trader called Chickpea to understand, I'll give you ten Denarius first, I'll give you the rest of the money after it's done, what do you think, and if this cooperation is pleasant, maybe I'll look for you again next time. ”

The leading thug glanced at his companion, one of the four hesitated, and the other three nodded at him. So the leading thug also nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Wise choice, come to me at the gladiator school when you have news." Zhang Heng counted out ten silver coins and returned them to the five thugs along with the short sword.

…………

Varro's affairs Zhang Heng has always been a handy helper, for example, before he instructed Varro to pass the final assessment, and when there was a scuffle of twelve people, he chose to give Varro a sweep after solving Nashika, instead of helping the latter solve his opponent himself, it was also to help Varro enhance his confidence, because if nothing else, the two would not team up again.

And this time the matter is similar, Zhang Heng has always guessed that there is a mastermind behind Varro's matter, and it will not be so easy for the latter to get free, but at that time, both of them were still in the training camp, Zhang Heng didn't say much, since there is a chance now, let these five thugs who bumped into his hands go to check, if it goes well, at least let the former antique dealer know who his real enemy is.

In addition, Zhang Heng is also trying to cultivate some people who can do things for himself, after all, he is just an outsider to the city of Rome, and his ability to deal with the three religions and nine streams is not as strong as that of the local snake, and he is still a slave and has not been freed.

Of course, according to Dadatis, the Balance Blade has a group of very good peripheral personnel, but Zhang Heng is still in the testing period, so he doesn't need those people, and even if Zhang Heng finally passes the test and really joins the Balance Blade, he can't fully trust the Balance Blade, and he still has to form his own team after all, not necessarily these five people, but you can start with five people first.

In short, whether it is on the side of the gladiator school or on the side of the Blade of Balance, Zhang Heng needs to keep a hand.

After the attack, Zhang Heng didn't go to the temple again, not because he was worried that the people in the Unap Arena would do anything to him again, but because the sky had begun to darken.

So Zhang Heng returned to the gladiator school, Makruz seemed to be really optimistic about him, not only agreed to his request but also changed his residence, Zhang Heng walked into the new room, and found that the room was more than twice as big, and this time there was no need to listen to other people's snoring, and there was also a female slave girl in the room who was dedicated to him, who could not only take care of his daily life, but also meet his needs in some aspects.

However, Zhang Heng is still more accustomed to living alone, but considering that the latter may be punished after driving the girl away, Zhang Heng didn't say anything in the end, and went to bed after a simple wash after dark.

This time his senses were much sharper, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Dadatis standing in front of the bed.

The old trainer beckoned to him, and the two of them walked around the sleeping girl on the floor to the outside of the house.

In the previous week, Dadatis had also come to Zhang Heng a few times, but it was all in the middle of the night, and the old trainer didn't seem to want to be seen interacting with Zhang Heng, but there seemed to be no such problem between him and Habitus before.

"How's it going, did you have a good afternoon?" Dadatis asked.

"You found the people who attacked me?" Zhang Heng was a little surprised, because in his opinion, those gangsters were not lying.

"You're only half right, people are indeed found in other arenas, I just gave them your basic information in advance, and with your performance in the twelve-person melee, anyone who is not stupid will attack you." The old trainer said leisurely, "Very good, you asked Makruz for the right to go out freely, and our next stage of training is going to be carried out outside." ”

"Huh?"

"The stealth you've been practicing for so long should come in handy, only actual combat can help you digest theoretical knowledge." "You have to get rid of the little tail that follows you, and you can't do it like this time." ”

"It doesn't sound difficult." Zhang Heng said, even if he didn't learn to stealth, he could get rid of the stalkers with his speed.

"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean, you need to stay around them and not be detected by them, that's the stealth of the assassins." The old trainer said.

"Are you serious?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically, "I'm a foreigner, and it's hard to ignore my appearance in the crowd." ”

"So that's the best way to show an assassin's stealth ability." Dadatis's straightforward words made it difficult for Zhang Heng to refute.

The old trainer paused and continued, "You are so good at what you need to do to solve a problem as soon as you think about how to solve it on your own, which is fine in normal times, but it will hinder your progress on the path of an assassin, and if you want to be a good assassin, you need to overcome this." ”

Although Dadatis's tone was similar to usual, Zhang Heng still heard a hint of something out of it, and asked, "Have you been in any trouble lately?" ”

"The organization does have some objections to recruiting you, but that's not what I'm worried about." The old trainer hesitated and decided to tell Zhang Heng the truth, "About two hundred years ago, there was a traitor in our organization, who took refuge in the Roman Emperor Octavian at the time, and with the help of Octavian, he also formed an assassin organization, specializing in assassinating members of the Balance Blade, I don't want to be seen and close to you There is also a reason for this, I have had to show my head outside because of some things over the years, although I have done some disguises, but I can't hide the real master." ”
