Chapter 852 The Assessment Is Coming

From the moment Dadatis became Zhang Heng's teacher, the first request the old man made was for Zhang Heng to hide his relationship with the Balanced Blade.

In the words of Dadatis, this is how an assassin survives.

Especially two hundred years ago, the appearance of the traitor not only failed the Balance Blade's plan to assassinate Octavian, but the core members of the organization were also exposed one after another. They are all the top assassins in the world, possessing otherworldly assassination skills. , however, once they are exposed to the sun, surrounded by state machinery in front and assassinated by hounds in the back, only a few people can survive in the end.

Therefore, the Balanced Blade also learned its lesson later, and the core members no longer revealed their identities to each other. The only people who knew the identities of all members were the Speaker of the Assassin Council and the priest of Cleis. Of course, the organization did not prevent members from communicating in private. When interacting with each other, if you find someone who has a bad temper and is trustworthy, you can tell the other person your true identity.

"You have already met the priest. The current speaker of the Assassin Council is my old friend, the Faceless Man. The two of them know your true identity. In addition, there is Hyacinth."

"Hyacinth, who is he?" Zhang Heng asked.

"What you should ask is who she is. You haven't passed the test and officially become one of us, so I can't tell you too much about her." The expression on Dadatis's face when he mentioned Hyacinth It seemed a little strange, warm and wary, but also mixed with a hint of guilt, "We don't have much contact, but she visited you in person not long ago because I need more people to support you in joining the Blade of Balance, Hyacinth She has a wide network of contacts within the organization, and she has at least three votes in her hands, from herself and her admirers.”

"ha."

"In any case, you don't need to pay too much attention to her. She doesn't like me, and she probably won't like you too much, but you can rest assured that she will not betray your identity to others." Dadatis said, "Except for the three people I mentioned above, no one else in the organization knows your identity. The only information I have released about you is your potential and lack of faith, especially your attitude towards balance. This It’s something I can’t and shouldn’t hide.”

…………

Although Dadatis has left Rome for some time, Zhang Heng has not forgotten the old trainer's instructions. Therefore, although the microphone on the second floor of the tavern unexpectedly chose to side with him, Zhang Heng also guessed that the microphone was probably the same. It came from the Blade of Balance, but when the microphone tried to test Zhang Heng with the teachings of the Blade of Balance, Zhang Heng denied it immediately.

This is mainly because Zhang Heng originally did not want to be too deeply involved with the Balance Blade, especially when the two old enemies, the Balance Blade and the Hound, were about to start a war. For Zhang Heng, he did not want to get involved in this war that did not belong to him. , Dadatis has been sent far away and left the city of Rome, which also means that there is no one in the Blade of Balance that Zhang Heng cares about.

Therefore, Zhang Heng did not have any in-depth research on the identity of the microphone. He did not even ask the priestess to confirm the identity of the microphone. This is why a week later, the group of speakers basically concluded that Zhang Heng was not the person of the Balanced Blade. Because the Balance Blade has always had very high requirements for faith and belonging when recruiting members, they did not expect that there would be people fishing in it.

However, Zhang Heng, who was fishing in the war between the Balanced Blade and the Hound, was quite concerned about another matter.

It has been almost two months since he arrived in the southeastern city. In other words, the next round of evaluation is coming.

Zhang Heng has been preparing for this matter in the next week, because the result of this evaluation will be related to whether he can quickly return to Kang Maode.

Although the new force he formed in the southeastern city still has a lot to do to develop, Zhang Heng has already cleared the most important obstacle for the development of the new force. He believes that Zao Zao, Marcus and others should be able to cope with the increase. situation, and he could withdraw from it and start investigating the whereabouts of Otrus.

Therefore, Zhang Heng needs to achieve as good a result as possible in this assessment.

The person responsible for evaluating the work of the patrol is a young nobleman in the Senate named Fabino, who is famous for his uprightness and selflessness, which is why he was unanimously elected as the evaluator.

Firstly, everyone felt that he was the only one who could do this job without fear of offending others, and secondly, they sent this evil star to the disaster patrol team to prevent him from looking for trouble everywhere in the Senate.

Fabino began to evaluate the work of the patrol teams in each neighborhood half a month ago. He has basically completed most of the city of Rome, leaving only the southeastern city as the last stop.

The reason why the southeastern city was put last is because Fabino felt that there was really nothing interesting to see here.

As for the southeastern city, everyone in Rome knows what a hellish place it is. It is full of criminals and villains. If you can avoid that place, try not to set foot there. However, when Fabino first became the assessor, he had heard a lot of There were rumors about this place, but I didn't know how serious they were, so I took only two guards and went to inspect the work.

As a result, he was robbed before he even reached the door of the patrol. The two guards were no match for the vicious group of men across from them. Not only did Fabino throw away all his valuables, but he also received two punches in the stomach, which he still has until now. The patrol team also failed to help him catch the criminal and recover his things.

It’s not surprising that Fabino gave the patrol team in the southeastern city the lowest score time and time again, and to be fair, it can’t even be said to be a public revenge, because every time Fabino gave the lowest score, he felt that he was a little derelict in his duties. He found that I couldn't find a lower score to accurately describe what I saw with my own eyes.

"That place is ruined and hopeless, and the Senate is doing nothing about it. I bet someone here took bribes, so they turned a blind eye to this situation." Fabino told himself The last friend complained, "I really don't want to see that damn place again."

But having said that, the dedicated Fabino still has to expose his eyes to contamination every two months. However, after the first lesson, he learned well. Now he comes to the southeast city for inspections. In addition to the patrol team giving With the two guards he assigned, he would also bring a team of family guards armed to the teeth, so as to ensure that the previous tragedy would not happen again.

So early that morning, Fabino appeared on the streets of the southeastern city with his luxurious escort team.
