The two Assassins who were caught had hard-mouthed mouths that many people had imagined.

The guards of the dungeon tried all kinds of methods to get them to speak, but this did not affect Clinde's good mood, he and Zhang Heng are now sitting in the guard room, eating the freshly roasted little suckling pig, while listening to the screams coming from the torture room at the end of the corridor.

"Interesting," Clint put down his knife and fork, "I don't think Ortrus would have thought that I would be helping him find out who killed him when he died." ”

Clint originally thought that Zhang Heng would still not speak, because the latter had not spoken anything since he came to the dungeon with him, and he sat there with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.

Clinder thought that Zhang Heng was panicked because of the death of Outrus, after all, in the previous admonition incident, Zhang Heng did not choose to be with him, and it was easy for Clinder to suspect that he had secretly fallen to Outrus, and as a result, Zhang Heng's new thigh only appeared for less than half a day before he died.

Therefore, Clint felt that he could still understand the grief in Zhang Heng's heart at this moment, but what he didn't expect was that this time Zhang Heng opened his eyes and asked, "When did you and Otrus meet?" ”

"Well, probably four years ago," Clint said happily as he was in a good mood now and didn't mind answering the question, and in fact he needed someone to help him remember the toughest adversary he had ever faced in his life, "I had just come to work with Your Majesty, and we were fighting against the damned Germanic tribes on the Rhine, and Your Majesty mentioned to me a man named Otlus, saying that he had a good brain and was loyal enough, but I had never met Otlus. ”

"Was Orterus already at Your Majesty's side when you fought the Germans?"

"No, to be exact, Ortrus is not in the barracks like us, but stays in Rome to take care of his affairs for His Majesty, the two of us have a clear division of labor, but he will also put forward some of his opinions and suggestions on the war at the front from time to time, he seems to understand the hearts of the people, especially the thoughts of the civilians in the city of Rome, it is he who told His Majesty that the people are tired of the long wars over the years, and it is that Cummodus is determined to end all this."

Clinder paused, then continued, "Otlus seems to have his specialty, huh...... The channel for gathering intelligence, he knows what the commoners think, which is not difficult for me to understand, because you can pay people to go around the city and ask those who live at the bottom what they are thinking, but he is also very clear about what the nobles are thinking, which makes me a little difficult to understand, especially some very secret secrets, it is estimated that there will be no second person in the entire city of Rome except for the person concerned to know the secret, this guy is like some kind of witchcraft, can drill into your head, which is also one of the reasons why I don't like him very much. ”

Seeing that Zhang Heng had been listening carefully, and now there was nothing else to do except eat pork and chat, Clinder continued, "But Your Majesty believes in him very much, to be honest, I have never seen Your Majesty believe in a person so much, I have always gotten along well with Your Majesty, but I know that Your Majesty will never trust me as much as you trust Otlus, I admit that I am a little jealous of that guy, but the smart Otlus is not without mistakes."

"About three years ago, His Majesty returned to Rome briefly in order to marry Queen Christina, Orterus arranged for them to take a boat tour of the Tiber River, you know, the main thing is to give them a little space to get along with lovers, Your Majesty did not bring a guard, and the queen and the queen both traveled in plain clothes, but I didn't expect to meet a group of boatmen at the dock to ask for wages, blocked the river, and made a lot of trouble, fortunately, in the end His Majesty and the queen were fine, but after coming back, His Majesty was also a little dissatisfied with Ortrus, Because of such a big thing, he didn't get any news in advance. ”

Clinder sighed, "That's one of the few times when Ortellus will be deflated, and after I fought with him for so many years, I basically didn't take any advantage, and this time, he was about to defeat me, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of a group of assassins, which is really ironic, the almost omniscient Ortrus died under a sudden sharp arrow." ”

After Clint finished speaking, he picked up a piece of pork with a fork, "To our old friend! Even though I've always considered him an adversary, I also think that maybe one day we can sit down and have a meal together or something, but now that will never happen. ”

And at this moment, a jailer covered in blood came over and said respectfully to Clint and Zhang Heng, "Two adults, one of the prisoners has decided to speak, but he said that he would tell you in person." ”

Clinder pursed his lips and glanced at the sunlight shining down the stairs outside, "Is it already dawn?" Sure enough, time will pass very quickly when I recall the past, okay, then let's go and listen to what he has to say. ”

…………

The one who decided to speak was one of the younger assassins, who was still a woman, but after countless rounds of torture, her body was now in a terrible state and almost lost any physical characteristics.

Clint only glanced at it and looked away, avoiding spitting out the roast pork he had just eaten, but he still said gently, "We don't really want to embarrass you too much, after all, you are just tools, tell us who is behind the scenes, and I will find you a doctor." ”

However, the female assassin laughed miserably when she heard this, "I know that I can't survive my injuries, do I?" ”

"Well, at least I can make your death a little more comfortable." Clinder shrugged.

The female assassin nodded, "Then you put your head over and I'll tell you who the main messenger is." ”

Clinder turned his gaze to the jailer who had tortured the female assassin earlier, and the jailer nodded, signaling that the female assassin was no longer capable of hurting people.

So Clinder leaned his face in, "Well, I've done as you say." ”

He was greeted by a bloodshot from the female assassin, "Don't dream, you can destroy my body, but Kreis will take my soul with you, for balance is hidden between all things, everywhere." ”

"Damn woman!" Clinder was angry when he was smacked in the face, but he had no one to take revenge against, because after saying this, the female assassin used the last of her strength and died with her eyes open.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth alive?" Clinder could only vent his anger on a jailer in charge of torture, "Do you know how angry Your Majesty is when Advisor Orterus is assassinated? If you can't find the main messenger behind this, don't want to stay here, go to the border post on the Rhine and be in the company of those stinking Germans! ”

As he spoke, Clint took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva and blood from his face, and then asked Zhang Heng, "What did she say in the end?" Kreis, and the hell that balances everything and stuff, you know what it is? ”

Clint just asked casually, and he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to say later.

"Well, I know something."
