Chapter 228: Murder and the God of Assassins
Although there was only a brief glimpse before, Zhang Heng's observation ability still wrote down some information points, especially after the old trainer reminded him, Zhang Heng also recalled more details.
She ...... She appears to be barefoot, with a dagger carved into the handle of an eagle's head, and a string of rattan keys hanging from her waist. ”
"How many keys do you have?" The old trainer continued.
"I didn't count, three...... No, it should be four," Zhang Heng paused, "Aside from the corridor connected to the hot tub outside, is there any other place where I can go out?" ”
"I come here a lot to take a bath, and as far as I know, there's no second way out here." The old trainer replied.
"So you mean she just disappeared into thin air?"
The old trainer didn't answer Zhang Heng's question this time, but spit out a somewhat unfamiliar name, "Kreyith." ”
"Who is this?"
"The black-robed woman you met," said the old trainer, "according to your description, it must be Kleirth herself, she is the god of murder and assassins, who rules the delicate balance between all things, and walks between chaos and order, and you are lucky, Kleirs rarely appears in front of people, so few people in this world can see her, and as for her appearance, you should not know it, because everyone who has seen her appearance is no longer in this world." ”
"Why haven't I heard of her divine name?" Zhang Heng frowned.
In order to confirm the identity of the old man in Tang costume, he had made up some mythological knowledge before, and he still had some understanding of the beliefs of the ancient Romans, the worship of the name of the gods on the Roman side was more mixed, and many of the gods in ancient Rome came from Greek mythology, and with the continuous expansion of the empire, there were also messy other beliefs flowing in, such as Jewish Christianity, as well as some ancient religions in Egypt, and even the ancestors of the barbarians were believed, but there was no name Kleis.
"Like I said, not many people get to see her." After the old trainer finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Heng meaningfully.
However, contrary to his expectations, Zhang Heng did not show awe or suspicion when he heard this, but showed a thoughtful look, "I remember, this is not the first time we have met. ”
"Huh?"
Considering the background of the game all along, there is basically a certain god hidden behind each dungeon, and Zhang Heng did briefly wonder if he had met the god in this dungeon, until he recalled where he had seen each other.
"I saw her on the long-necked wine bottle that served the wine, just when I was celebrating when I was officially qualified as a gladiator," Zhang Heng said, "Interesting, did anyone already play such a little trick as psychological suggestion in the second century AD?" ”
Zhang Heng also played a similar method, in the leaker's copy, he used psychological suggestion to unknowingly implant the idea of going to the ski resort in Leia's head, but he didn't expect that now feng shui takes turns, and some people use this method on him.
And the other side's approach is undoubtedly more covert and advanced.
"There's no Kleirth at all, right, the figure I caught glimpsing outside the door is you, judging by your sweaty state, you should have just entered this room not long ago, I should have thought that since there is only one exit from this room, then excluding irrelevant people, the only person left is the answer...... But simple psychological suggestion is impossible for me to hallucinate, and there must be other aids. ”
Zhang Heng lowered his head and thought about it again, "Wine, you or your people have moved their hands and feet in my bottle of wine, right?" ”
Zhang Heng recalled the slave girl holding the amphora bottle, the latter walked straight to him, only he and Varro were standing there, Varro originally wanted to drink, but soon another slave girl came to him with a new bottle of wine, so in the end, only Zhang Heng drank the wine in the bottle alone.
At that time, he felt that the taste of the wine was a little strange, as if it was mixed with some kind of herbs, but Zhang Heng was also the first time to drink wine from the second century AD, so he didn't think much about it at the time, but thinking of what happened to him later, Zhang Heng quickly found the root of the problem.
The old Persian trainer quietly listened to Zhang Heng finish all the analysis before he spoke, "I really didn't see the wrong person, you are the person we are looking for." ”
"We? Oh, so you do have accomplices. Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I prefer to call them companions," said the old Persian trainer, "Also, I watched your final assessment, and I think you hid your strength in the fight, right?" You've even fooled Gabi into discovering Sisnatus and making him the ace of the Victor Arena, but he's lost sight of you. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about."
This kind of thing has neither any evidence nor physical evidence, and Zhang Heng will definitely not admit it.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell Gabi." The old Persian trainer said, "You don't need to be so wary of us, we have no hostility towards you. ”
"You pretending to be gods don't look like you're not hostile," Zhang Heng said, "In order to make me believe what you see, you have also worked hard and made up some kind of murder and assassin gods." ”
"I didn't lie to you." The old Persian trainer blinked, "At least not in the case of Kleis, she is indeed the god we worship. ”
"But you say she's the god of murder and assassins."
"So we're killers and assassins." "I come from an ancient and mysterious organization, and we have a history that is longer than Rome's, thousands of years, but we have kept a low profile during this time, and I think we have some common language in this regard...... If you want to ask me why I'm here, it's simple, I have a bit of a friendship with Gabi, and he invited me to train him as a gladiator, but most of the time I'm actually in charge of training Harbitus alone. ”
"You taught him the steps of Habitus?"
"Mostly, but he also made some of his own improvements on this basis to suit the needs of gladiator performances."
"Then I suggest you continue to cultivate him, because I heard that he seems to want to be the trump card of the Victor Arena," Zhang Heng said euphemistically, "You should focus on him, not to bother me." ”
