Zhang Heng's previous performances earned him some money, and he also received a lot of gifts and copper coins from enthusiastic audiences when he won the championship at the Flavian Amphitheater, although most of these things belonged to Makruz, but he could still get the money for renting a house.

And strictly speaking, Zhang Heng is not a naked resignation, after all, Commodus can't wait to provide him with the next offer, and he still has another job at the Balance Blade, so he took the little slave girl to see a few houses, and finally chose the most comfortable house to live in, but the rent is also the most expensive.

The room of the two is located south of Plato's Square, and you can see the Tiber River when you open the window, in addition to the good scenery and wide view, which also reduces the risk of walking the water, but Zhang Heng originally wanted to rent two rooms, but the little slave girl insisted on one, there was no need to waste money, she said that she could sleep on the floor.

Anyway, she had been sleeping like this before Zhang Heng had built her a bed, and most of the slaves slept like this.

"But you're no longer a slave." Zhang Hengdao.

"But don't you want me to take care of your daily life, how to take care of it if you don't have a room, besides, haven't we been living like this before, what's the problem?" The little slave girl blinked.

"Well, let me ask you, have you ever thought about what kind of work you want to do to make a living in the future after you were free?" Zhang Heng said helplessly.

However, what surprised him a little was that the little slave girl actually nodded again and again after hearing this, "Yes, I have seriously considered it." ”

"Oh? It's unexpected, what do you want to do in the future? ”

"I'll clean you up and take care of your daily life." The little slave girl said without thinking.

“…………”

"You need someone to clean and take care of your daily life, right?" The little slave girl asked.

"Well, it seems so." Zhang Heng couldn't refute it, Rome in the second century AD was not modern, it was very convenient to live alone and do anything, there was no toilet, no washing machine, no running water, no convenience store downstairs, and even the kitchen was shared by many people.

Of course, Zhang Heng can survive alone even on a desert island, but in this case, he needs to spend too much energy on maintaining basic survival, so it is still necessary to hire someone to take care of his daily life.

"Then I took care of you for a while, and I did a good job, right?" The little slave girl then asked.

"Well, that's right." Zhang Heng had to nod.

"Did I get a job?" The little slave girl completed the perfect deduction.

“………… Forget it, let's do it for now, and I'll find you some serious errands to support yourself when I get back. Zhang Heng also had to compromise.

So the matter of the house was decided.

Zhang Heng asked the landlord to add another bed, and then gave the little slave girl some money, and asked the latter to purchase some necessary daily necessities.

And Zhang Heng didn't sleep, he was still waiting for someone.

By the time the moon had risen, the streets had become quieter, and the few taverns and entertainment establishments had closed, except for a few drunks who were drunk on the gutters of the alleys. The person Zhang Heng was waiting for finally arrived.

"Is this your new place?" The old Persian trainer came in through the window like a ghost.

"Hmm." Zhang Heng nodded, glanced at the street downstairs, and then closed the window with his hand.

"Looks pretty good." The old Persian trainer looked around, and when his eyes fell on the little slave girl on the bed, he glanced more, "You also brought her out?" You're not as ruthless as you appear to be. ”

"I never said I was ruthless." Zhang Heng replied.

"But it's true that your emotions don't fluctuate much." The old Persian trainer said, "Very well, this is a trait that all Assassins dream of. After saying that, he paused and continued, "You have performed very well before, not only won the championship, but also successfully aroused Commodus's interest in you, if nothing else, he will give you a small thing to do next, if you do it well, he should be ready to reuse you, and you can also smoothly enter the small circle of power next to him, and find out the whereabouts of Ortrus." ”

"Before these things happen, may I ask, were the sudden calls for my freedom earlier today arranged by your Blade of Balance?" Zhang Heng interrupted.

"Are you aware of that?" The old Persian trainer was a little surprised, "But this part is not my responsibility, if you want to know about this, someone may be able to help you." ”

"Who?"

"Priestess, she wants to see you."

Zhang Heng was surprised, according to Dadatis, the organizational structure of the Blade of Balance is actually not complicated, except for a group of peripheral personnel who provide services from the outside, the internal core is a group of top assassins and a priest, there is no nominal leader, among them, Dadatis and these assassins are the sharpest weapons of the Blade of Balance, and they usually form something similar to a council to maintain the operation of the organization, but the priests of Kreiss can mobilize all the power of the Blade of Balance through oracles.

To some extent, she can even be regarded as the actual controller of the Balanced Blade, but in Zhang Heng's guess, the Balanced Blade should be subordinate to a powerful political force, and if so, then the priestess of the Balanced Blade is likely to be just a mouthpiece for that political force.

No matter what the real situation is, the other party is undoubtedly a very key person, Zhang Heng didn't expect that the other party would ask to see him by name before he passed the Balance Blade test to prove his loyalty.

Could it be that the relationship between him and Commodus went well beyond expectations?

Zhang Heng couldn't guess the other party's thoughts for the time being, and the two didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to meet this time, so he didn't immediately agree, but asked, "Do the other core members of the organization know about this meeting?" ”

"Probably not," the old Persian trainer shook his head, "I was also suddenly informed that the priestess wanted to see you, and under normal circumstances, even the core members of the organization would hardly see the priestess's face, and she would not show up without an oracle." ”

"So her appearance now, does that mean a new oracle has appeared?" Zhang Heng frowned.

"No, you don't have to be nervous, this time is different, she just wants to see you." "Also, don't you want to enter the library in the secret quarter, which normally requires the consent of more than two-thirds of the Assassins, but if the priest is willing to help you, she can take you directly to the library." ”
