Probably because the strategy in the early stage did not work, the priestess's attitude has changed drastically from before, and even her tone has softened a lot, although it still sounds emotional, but there is no longer that aggressive posture, it is more like discussing with Zhang Heng, and the conditions offered are also very good.

However, Zhang Heng did not immediately agree, negotiating, there is always bargaining, so Zhang Heng paused for a moment and said, "One more thing, after the execution of this oracle, I will not be selected as the executor of the oracle again." ”

"It can't be." The priestess shook her head, "First, it doesn't follow the rules, and secondly, even if I am willing to promise you, I can't do it, although the oracle was issued by me, but the executor was elected by the Assassin Council, if everyone thinks you are suitable to execute the oracle, then you will be selected to execute the oracle, and under normal circumstances, the same person will not be allowed to execute the oracle twice in a row." ”

However, such an answer did not satisfy Zhang Heng, so he continued, "Then you can choose not to send an oracle." I've heard Dadatis say that there have been times when there has not been a single oracle for more than forty years. ”

“…………”

The priestess was speechless when she heard this, "What do you think of me, I am just the spokesperson of Kleiris in the world, I can't decide whether Kleiris will issue an oracle or not, and when he will issue an oracle, and Dadates also told you about the hound, it has not been peaceful recently, even if there is no oracle, you may not be able to be idle." ”

"And what else can you offer me?" Zhang Heng asked.

The priestess bit her lip, "If you must take advantage of this deal, how about adding me?" ”

Zhang Heng was quite surprised, he didn't expect this woman as cold as marble to suddenly say something like this, "Aren't you a priest?" ”

"I'm not a saint of Vesta, and the priesthood of Kleirs doesn't need to be pure, in fact there are things in our teachings that involve men and women, and Kleirs encourages such things, which is part of the balance."

"Thank you...... Your love, really, but I don't have much interest in marble. Zhang Heng said, because there was a black cloth covering his eyes, he couldn't see the gloom that flashed in the eyes of the priestess opposite, which was probably the biggest insult to a woman.

However, the latter's expression quickly returned to normal, and he said coldly, "Then let's make a price for you." ”

"Forget it, I won't be difficult for you, except for letting me into the library, plus letting Dadatis retire early." Zhang Heng changed his condition.

"Huh?" This time it was the priestess's turn, and she didn't expect that Zhang Heng's second condition was actually related to Dadatis.

"That guy is old, although he himself has never admitted this, his skills are as slow as a frozen earthworm, and he can only rely on a little cleverness to live like this, so he is no longer of much use to the Blade of Balance, and now that you have me, you can let that guy go home and retire." Zhang Hengdao.

"You're afraid that the war between us and the hounds will reach him." The priestess suddenly said, "I didn't expect that he still has a lot of weight in your heart, but unless he asks for retirement and passes on the position to you, no one can force him to leave the Balance Blade, so let's do it, I have a good relationship with him, I can find an excuse to trick him into running to some remote place, and when he comes back, it will be at least a year later, and you should have taken his place by then, what do you think?" ”

"Deal." Zhang Hengdao.

The priestess finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, this meeting was completely different from what she expected, it was out of her control from the beginning, whether it was the prison-like carriage, or her subsequent threats failed to let her take the initiative, so she could only spend a greater price to get Zhang Heng's cooperation.

"How do I inform your people when I find Outrus?" Zhang Heng then asked again.

"Go to the perfume shop street and find a perfume shop with irises on the outside, and say you want to buy a bottle of perfume without any smell, and then pay a sesteres to the person who receives you, and he will show you to my person."

After saying this, the priestess's attitude cooled down again, as if she had completely lost interest in Zhang Heng.

So Zhang Heng didn't stay any longer, and lay down in the carriage again, and then the priestess lowered the baffle, called the slaves outside in, and sent Zhang Heng back to the small bridge where he came, but the old Persian trainer and the boat without oars were gone.

The meeting was cautious, and did not reveal any information about the location to him from beginning to end.

Zhang Heng could only tell from the vague sight of the black cloth that he was in a room, and he spent most of his time in that small, damp carriage.

However, if the other party thinks that he can completely hide from him in this way, then he will underestimate him too much. Zhang Heng glanced at the starfish in his hand, this watch has accompanied him through all kinds of copies, and the magic is that no matter what era, no matter how cautious the opponent is, he will ignore the existence of this watch.

It is like a blind spot in the world, although the time above is still the time in the real world, but as long as you multiply the flow rate of the copy, you can also get the time in the copy, Zhang Heng had put it to his ear in the carriage before, and divided the route into equal parts from the ticking interval of the second hand.

He mentally noted the steering of each part of the carriage, and then by the degree of bumps, he also wrote down the road conditions on the way.

But considering that the priestess was probably hiding somewhere to observe him after sending him to the bridge, Zhang Heng did not immediately turn around to find the room where he was a guest, but returned to his residence first.

Zhang Heng slept directly into the morning, and the little slave girl got up early to make the meal, but someone didn't mean to open her eyes at all, so she could only put breakfast on the table, and then dragged her chin on the table in a daze.

As a result, he directly waited for breakfast into lunch, Zhang Heng got up from the bed and yawned, the little slave girl expressed concern about his current situation, "Although we still have half of the money on hand now, if we don't work, we can support it for less than two months, or I'll go to the laundry room to work again." ”

"Do you remember that there are other jobs to do now, don't worry, money is not a problem, someone will send us money soon." Zhang Heng picked up a loaf of bread as he spoke.

As if in response to what he had just said, there was a knock on the door.
