In a room in the town hall that had been temporarily converted into a master bedroom, Talia Ogu, who had just finished taking a shower, had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Bruce Wayne standing all over again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She didn't speak, but silently looked at his back, thinking about a lot of things, and her face was cloudy for a while. It took a while for her to put on a gentle appearance, came to his back, and naturally put her arms around his waist.

"Honey, do you have any thoughts in your head?" She asked softly. "Don't hide it from me. We're about to become the rulers of the oldest organization in the world, and you should be excited and expectant, not looking at the window and not knowing what to think. I cut you off from the past, and those unhappy things and that unhappy expression were part of it. I want you to do what you want to do, instead of calculating all day long. Tell me about your concerns, and then I'll figure out how to smooth out your frowning brow. ”

Tilting his head to look at Talia, Bruce Wayne patted her hand lightly, smiled at her, and returned to his previous expression.

"Yes, I'm worried." "Whether we admit it or not, Carmodus is a threat to us. And this threat, even if I become Lei Xiaogu, it will not be eliminated, nor will it change the fact that he is stronger than me. ”

Hearing this, Talia stopped smiling and nodded slowly. She thought of the situation before Bruce Wayne, but she couldn't help but think about it deeply. After all, Lei Xiaogu's matter has not been completely finalized. Things have to come one by one. They needed Mordo's support for now, and she wasn't going to do anything that might cause the two sides to turn on each other. Yesterday's temptation to ask the other party about Hugo Strange was already the most risky decision she had made in all her time. As a result, I almost made a move, but fortunately the other party restrained myself.

"I think he's already expressed his attitude and bottom line very well, and we shouldn't mess with him again at this stage." After thinking about it, Talia said, "We still need him. Even if he doesn't need to fight us in a duel with the other faction, just having him on our side can add points to the elders. Whatever it is, we have to endure it first. When you become Lei Xiaogu, the Council of Elders won't be able to control us, and we can do more. ”

Talia's words failed to convince Bruce Wayne completely. The latter pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.

"I guess it's not as simple as you think."

"What do you mean?" Although a little dissatisfied, Talia still followed Bruce Wayne's words and asked.

Bruce Wayne pondered for a moment, then spoke again, "We've been occupying Gotham for almost sixty hours, right?" Telephone, internet, transportation, and television media are all under our control. And it's been more than forty-eight hours since we got the news back to Nandapaba. Until now, the Presbyterian Church has not sent anyone to thoroughly verify our work, nor has it allowed us to destroy Gotham. I wonder what's going on here that we don't know about. ”

His words startled Talia. The latter, after thinking for a moment, shook his head heavily.

"No, I only corresponded with the elders yesterday. He said that after learning about our results, it would take a little time to review them. He told me that it wouldn't be too long, three days at most. In other words, after twenty hours at most, the Council of Elders will announce that you are the new Thunder Gu! ”

"Really? That's what he said, and as far as I know, there is no precedent in the Assassin League for such a designation for the position of Thunder Ancient. In other words, all the rules are just what he says and we listen to. I was disgusted by this total subjection. At this, he paused. Not to mention that I have a more reasonable guess. ”

"What speculation?" Talia then asked. She had been helped by the Presbyterian Church when the situation was almost desperate, so she subconsciously did not suspect the Presbyterian Church. But now that Bruce Wayne said that, she also realized that there might be something wrong with it.

"I suspect that the situation is not as settled as we thought it would be, waiting for the Council of Elders to receive and validate our results." Bruce Wayne replied with a cold face, "I suspect that our ...... No, I suspect my competitors are still alive. ”

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Talia's capillary tube stood up all of a sudden, and the whole person froze.

"Zorro? That's impossible! She exclaimed, "I saw his body in pieces!" You saw it too! ”

How much she wished Bruce Wayne could tell her it was just a joke, how much she wished someone could prove to her that Zorro was really dead. On the other hand, it seems that Zorro has also left a very deep impression on her heart, even if she usually doesn't admit it, she won't show it. Without him, Zorro had already sabotaged a plan she thought was seamless—the Bane nuclear weapons incident; In addition, Zorro organizes a counterattack to solve what she thought was irreversible - the Zitari invasion of Gotham. And if Zorro really didn't die this time, then she suspected that her scruples about Zorro were going to rise to the level of fear.

It's a pity that Bruce Wayne didn't give her the recognition and assurance she wanted.

"Yes, you saw it, I saw it, but why do I always feel like there's something wrong with it?" Bruce Wayne shook his head slowly, looked at her and said, "Perhaps...... We've all seen the power of magic, and there's even a master magician on our side. It's just that...... Is he really on our side? ”

Talia jerked away from Bruce Wayne, walked to the edge of the wine cabinet, poured himself a full glass of wine, and poured it down in one gulp before looking back at Bruce Wayne. At this time, there was no warmth in her eyes and her expression - even if it was pretended.

"What do you want to say?"

Bruce Wayne didn't care, still looking at her lightly: "I want to say, no, what I want to ask is, if the body of that guy we see is what Mordo wants us to see?" ”

"This ......"

"Mordo is not like the Bronze Tiger, the kind that wants to Miss Siva, he is just a person you have found temporarily, in the name of the Assassin League, using our manpower and material resources to do what he wants. Don't forget, he's a defector from the legendary line of the Supreme Magi, and I find myself unable to give him more trust. Besides, he did say yesterday that let's not force him to fight on our enemy's side...... Think about it, if Zorro is dead, I have no rivals, if it is a sure thing that I will become Lei Xiaogu, then what else can our enemies buy him for? ”

"No, no, no, it shouldn't come to this. Yesterday it was just his angry words. Also, even if Zorro is really alive, even if the images we see are caused by magic, it doesn't mean that it is the magic he released. After all, there are not many people who understand magic, but there are also many ......" At this point, Talia, who was already a little trembling, poured another glass of wine. And after this glass of wine, she no longer trembled, and her face, which had turned red from the upsurge of wine, had been replaced with a layer of fortitude. "Okay, come on, what are you going to do?"

Seeing her like this, Bruce Wayne also came to the wine cabinet, poured her half a glass of wine, handed it to her, and then brought a glass himself, and poured it down.

"I used to calculate all the possible changes after something happened, and then make arrangements for each one by one. Now that I've cut myself off from the past, that habit is a clever way of doing things. So...... Tell me about his weaknesses, and everything you know about him and the representative of the elders behind you. And the Ancient One, is there any way we can reach her? Because once he does jump to our enemy's side, I need to find a way to kill him in the first place! ”
