Chapter 242: The Old Man

The Blade of Balance unilaterally severed the connection with Zhang Heng, but this did not mean that Zhang Heng could not find them at all.

Zhang Heng had been blindfolded in the carriage before to meet the priestess on the priestess's territory, Zhang Heng silently recorded the sounds and road conditions along the way in his heart, but then he reached an agreement with the priestess, plus he was busy working as a consultant for Commodus, so he didn't explore it for the time being.

Now that Zhang Heng needs to reconnect with the Blade of Balance, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally this path.

Later, Zhang Heng found Marcus and asked the latter to get a carriage, in order to restore the situation of that night as much as possible, Zhang Heng even ordered a carriage that was exactly the same as the one he had been lying on before, and let Marcus drive the carriage to the arched bridge by the Tiber River in the middle of the night.

Zhang Heng had been in the carriage here before, so this time if he wanted to find the road he had traveled that night, he also needed to start from here and follow his memories to return to the place where he met the priestess.

However, Zhang Heng's first night attempt failed.

This is because there was a rain in the afternoon, which changed the condition of the road surface, even if there was only a slight deviation, but cumulatively it still had a great impact on Zhang Heng, who recognized the direction with the sense of bumps and sound.

So Zhang Heng had to wait until the next day, and tomorrow was the day to inspect the barracks, in other words, Zhang Heng couldn't fail again tonight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to contact the Blade of Balance before inspecting the barracks.

Fortunately, he was lucky on this day, not only did it not rain again, but the sun was also full at noon, which basically eliminated the impact of yesterday's rain, so when Zhang Heng returned to the carriage and commanded Marcus, who was driving the car in front, the accuracy rate finally improved a lot.

But even so, it took the two four hours to find their ultimate goal through trial and error and turning back.

Zhang Heng got off the carriage, looked at Domus in front of him, and asked Marcus on the side, "Do you know whose house is here?" ”

Marcus had apparently done his homework in advance, and immediately replied, "The owner of this Domus is Skrutus, a young man from the Korasu family, but it is said that he himself rarely came here again about two years ago, and now only an old servant who guards the door still lives in it." ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "I'll do the rest alone, you can go back." ”

Marcus didn't ask much when he heard this, turned his head and drove the carriage away, this is also what Zhang Heng admires most about him, this young man knows very well what things to ask and what not to ask.

And when Marcus's figure disappeared into the street, Zhang Heng put on a hood.

Now is a special moment, not to mention whether there are people with the Balance Blade inside, even if this place is really a secret stronghold of the priestess, considering the existence of traitors in the Balance Blade, Zhang Heng also decided to show up less if he can.

So he jumped over the wall and into the antechamber.

And as soon as he landed, the hairs on his body stood up, because a dagger silently stabbed at his waist, fortunately, Zhang Heng's reaction was fast enough, plus he had been strengthening his way of moving during this time, so that he could dodge this knife at the last moment.

But the opponent's attack did not stop, but became more ferocious, and at the same time drew another dagger.

And Zhang Heng also pulled out his two Persian swords, threw them back, as if there were eyes on his back, and accurately held the dagger of the sneak attacker, his action also made the sneak attacker slightly stunned, and Zhang Heng naturally did not waste this rare opportunity, and finally turned his body around and saw the attacker's face.

Blocked by a veil, although Zhang Heng couldn't see the other party's appearance, he recognized that it was the woman wearing a veil in the perfume shop who attacked him before.

When the two met, Zhang Heng saw that this woman should also be an assassin, but he didn't expect her level to be so good, just based on the few rounds of the two just now, her assassination level was already above the old Persian trainer.

Zhang Heng therefore speculated that the other party was likely to be a core member of the Balance Blade.

And the veiled woman on the opposite side obviously recognized Zhang Heng, not by appearance, but by Zhang Heng's moves.

"It seems that Dadatis really values you, and taught you all the tricks of pressing the bottom of the box." The veiled woman spoke, "Of course, you're a quick learner, you were still in the Victor Arena when I first met you, and you shouldn't have been able to avoid the assassination I just had." ”

Zhang Hengxuan immediately thought of something, the four people who Dadatis had told him knew his identity, and at this moment, the woman in front of him was obviously not a priestess, nor was she an Assassin Speaker Faceless, so there was only one possibility left, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "You are a hyacinth?" ”

"Looks like Dadatis told you about me." The veiled woman said, "I'm curious what he thinks of me." ”

Zhang Heng could see that Hyacinth and Daddatis had some kind of complicated relationship, and they were not pure friends, so he still tried his best to say something good for the old Persian trainer, saying, "He said that you are the best assassin he has ever met. ”

Hyacinth sneered when he heard this, "Save it, I know him, he can't say such a thing, he did tell me that you have unlimited potential, like an unpolished gem, as long as you rub it casually, you will become the strongest assassin in the whole of Rome in the future." ”

"Well...... this"

Zhang Heng was interrupted by Hyacinth before he could say anything, "But now it seems that he is exaggerating, you haven't been able to kill Aoterus to complete the test for so long, it seems that even if you have talent, you are limited." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, didn't you have nothing to do with Otheros for so long?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically, "You don't even know what he looks like." ”

"That was before, and now that we've found an opportunity to assassinate Otlus, I'm afraid you're going to fail the test, and whether or not the organization will accept it after that needs to wait until this is over to evaluate." Hyacinth said lightly.

"The opportunity you are talking about will not be tomorrow when Commodus inspects the barracks, but as far as I know, Oterus's physical condition does not allow him to appear in public." Zhang Heng didn't care about Hyacinth's slightly sarcastic tone, but said.

"We know that the Ottrus who will be with Commodus tomorrow is a fake." Hyacinth's answer was beyond Zhang Heng's expectations, she paused here, and continued, "We not only know that Otlus is fake, but also know why the real Otlus released this news, in addition to seducing us, more importantly, to cover up his true purpose." Hyacinth thrust the dagger back into his waist.

"But anyway, it's pretty good that you can touch here, and thank you for the information, especially the fact that Ottrus is physically inconvenient, and we'll check it when we find the target, other than that, do you have anything else?" Although Hyacinth's tone was quite polite, his body movements had already revealed that he didn't want Zhang Heng to stay here longer.

It's not because Zhang Heng is unhappy, but because there are other important things to do at hand.

Zhang Heng also saw this, and when he heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, and nodded, "Then I wish you all the best tomorrow." ”
