Chapter 820 Priest

In order to avoid being seen by the apartment manager, Zhang Heng and Dadatis still walked out of the window when leaving.

In the Tiber River downstairs, there is a small boat left by Dadatis, which is about the size of two people.

When Zhang Heng got into the boat, he found that there was no oar in it, so he asked the old Persian trainer on the opposite side, "How are we going to go?"

"Relax, we just need to go down the river." The old trainer said as he untied the cable.

The next moment, the boat began to float downstream under the influence of the current.

Zhang Heng and Dadatis sat at the bow and the stern of the boat.

Although you can't see the bustle and bustle on both sides of the Tiber River during the day, the Tiber River has a unique scenery at night. The stars in the sky are reflected in the river, like a transparent ribbon inlaid with agate, and the reflection of the moon follows the boats. It rippled, and then came back together after being broken.

"You were right not to come to me during the day." The old Persian trainer at the stern said suddenly, "It's not very safe outside these days. It's best for us to reduce unnecessary meetings, especially in front of outsiders. You have to remember to pretend you don’t know me.”

"Um?"

"Remember the enemies of the Balanced Blade I told you about before?"

"Oh, that traitor who joined forces with Octavian two hundred years ago? I remember you said before that he formed an assassin organization with a similar structure to the Balanced Blade, specifically to deal with the Balanced Blade."

"Yes, its name is hound," Dadatis said, "We have fought many times overtly or covertly in the past two hundred years, but about sixty years ago, our people once severely injured Hound, successfully assassinated most of Hound’s core members.”

"So your people are doing pretty well, what next?"

"Then the few remaining survivors among the hounds disappeared and did not appear again for a long time. It was not until about half a year ago that we found traces of the hounds."

"Do you think they are coming back?" Zhang Heng asked.

"It's not that I'm about to come back, but I've already come back." The old trainer's face looked serious. "We just received news that a core member was assassinated while investigating a target suspected of being a hound in Britannia. Unfortunately, he died. And we don’t have any clues about the murderer.”

"Did the hound do it?"

"We don't know yet, but we can't think of any other possibility besides the hound. The assassin who was killed was codenamed Blackfish. He may not be the most powerful assassin in the organization, but he can definitely be regarded as the most cautious one. A group of people, and he was originally from Britannia, so he was considered a local leader there. In addition to the power of the organization, he also had many personal friends there, so his death also deeply shocked other members of the organization."

"You are worried about this matter." Zhang Heng looked into the eyes of the old trainer.

"Yes, the reappearance of the hound shows that the survivors of the sixty-year-old war did not give up revenge, but secretly accumulated strength. They have been preparing for such a long time, and they will definitely not just think about it when they show up again. It's as simple as killing one or two people, which probably means a new war is coming, a war between the Balanced Blade and the Hound."

Dadatis expressed his worries, "Although the Balanced Blade won the battle sixty years ago, we have lived a little too comfortably in the past sixty years and have not the slightest understanding of the new hounds. But our enemies must have been studying us, and once they decide to take action, they will definitely hit our vital points."

"But didn't you tell me that you were already planning to retire?" Zhang Heng said, "In that case, it's better to retire as soon as possible, so that the rest of the matter will have nothing to do with you."

"Am I the kind of person who runs away from battle?" The old trainer was dissatisfied when he heard this, "And you are not willing to learn the art of balance from me honestly. It is not enough for you to be only interested in the fighting part. You must know that no matter what, All kinds of fighting skills are just means. Our mission is to maintain the balance of all things in the world for Creus. You need to keep this in mind at all times, because it is this that distinguishes us from other assassins."

"Uh-huh." Zhang Heng responded casually.

Upon seeing this, Dadatis couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This student of his was good at everything and could be called a perfect template for an assassin. The only problem was that he could never accept the belief of the Balanced Blade. If it were before, Dadatis would have thought that it didn't matter if he took his time. As long as Zhang Heng was willing to join the Blade of Balance, he would be able to gradually integrate into it subtly.

But after receiving the news of Heiyu's death, Dadatis realized that he might not have so much time.

While the two were talking, the boat had drifted under an arch bridge. Dadatis retracted his thoughts, stretched out a hand, and knocked twice rhythmically on a certain part of the bridge pier. The next moment, he fell from the bridge. A ladder.

The old trainer made a sign of invitation, so Zhang Heng climbed up the ladder to the bridge.

There was a carriage parked there, and the black carriage was tightly wrapped.

"Don't think too much. This is a special period. The priest is of great significance to the Balanced Blade, so we need to ensure her safety as much as possible."

"I understand." Zhang Heng took the blindfolded black cloth and climbed into the carriage. It was said to be a carriage, but it was still very different from the carriages specially used for riding in later generations. It only had two wheels. , far less comfortable than those in later generations, and there were no doors or windows. Zhang Heng climbed in through a small opening and felt like he was lying in a coffin.

Especially when the only small opening was sealed by Dadatis.

"I can only send you here. Someone will take you along the way. Remember to show respect when you see the priest. She hates people who are disrespectful to Cleis."

"It's not difficult to guess." Zhang Heng snorted, feeling the cramped and cold surroundings.

Fortunately, the journey was not too long. After about half an hour, they arrived at their destination. But no one called Zhang Heng to get out of the carriage. Instead, four slaves directly carried the carriage.

Zhang Heng counted silently in his mind. After about a hundred steps, he was put down again.

After that, there was no sound around. The slaves seemed to have left, and he seemed to have been forgotten.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that a voice with almost no emotion and as cold as marble sounded from his ears, "You are quite able to keep your composure. You are not afraid that I will just throw you into the river." go?"
