"Are you taking too much care?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No, what we do are small repairs on the original buildings, which will not go against the general trend, and we do not seek fame or profit. We are people living in the shadow of history, and even the vast majority of people I don’t know our existence, which is why the Blade of Balance can be passed on for thousands of years. In fact, most of the time we are just bystanders, and inside the organization we prefer to call ourselves tinkerers.”
The old trainer said, "Speaking of the Balance Blade, the Balance Blade is composed of two parts, one is the core members of the organization. For the first generation of the Balance Blade, it is the convener plus the six strongest assassins in the world. There are seven people in total, and the other part is people who have intercourse with assassins or rely on assassins for their livelihood, including some intelligence dealers, a small number of nobles, and a large number of civilians and slaves at the bottom, as well as weapons dealers and doctors, etc. They are considered balanced. Edge personnel.
"However, with the development of Balance Blade, the number of these two parts has changed. Although the organization has encountered several very serious crises, it is still growing in general, but most of the expansion is peripheral members, core members The number of them is relatively stable. In addition, about 400 years ago, we also began to open to other assassins, allowing them to exchange some information and resources from the organization. Their identities are basically equivalent to peripheral personnel, and the corresponding responsibilities are relatively limited. , in their eyes, the Balance Blade is just an organization that provides services to assassins in exchange for rewards."
"What about your core members, how many people are there?"
The old training is this time, but there is no answer to all questions. "This is a higher-level secret. You will naturally know when you pass the test and take over from me as a candidate to become a member of the organization." The old trainer After a pause, "You asked about what you need to do after joining us, and I can answer this question for you right now.
"Just like the original convener answered the six assassins... Becoming a member of the Balance Blade will not affect your daily life most of the time. In theory, only when the priest receives After the oracle of thinking, the Blade of Balance will summon its members to intervene."
"So all your actions are basically relying on the so-called oracle obtained by a priest? Congratulations, this sounds really reliable, so can I ask how often she usually gets an oracle?"
"Ordinary people can't guess the will of the gods, so no one can predict when the oracle will come," the old trainer finished, thinking for a while and then added, "But if you're asking about the past, then based on past experience, at most Sometimes the oracle appeared six times a month, and at least there was an oracle that appeared only once every 40 years, and some members did not even receive an oracle until they retired.”
"I quite like the latter situation." Zhang Heng said, "But I guess I don't have such good luck. Since you appeared in the gladiator school to find gladiators, it means that a new oracle has appeared."
"That's right." The old trainer nodded.
"Your target is Marcus? No, if it's him, you can solve it yourself. You don't need to cooperate with Habitus. There are quite a lot of targets that gladiators can reach... but it can make you feel headache It should be someone with a high position and weight." Zhang Heng analyzed.
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you the name of the target at this stage, but what I can tell you is that the test for you is indeed related to this oracle. How about it, do you want to be one of us?" Member?" Dadatis asked.
Zhang Heng shrugged when he heard the words, "After I've heard so many secrets about you, do I have a second choice?"
"I know there is still a lot of confusion in my heart, and I can't fully understand our philosophy, but as long as you are willing to open your eyes and observe the world around you carefully, you will feel that balance is everywhere, and I, as your Teacher, I can teach you the way of balance."
"Uh... I don't think it's necessary to teach things like the way of balance. What you said before is quite clear," Zhang Heng said, "I already fully understand your style and philosophy."
"I mean skill in combat."
"Oh, then I'll still listen."
"..."
Dadatis was also a little speechless. He could see that Zhang Heng didn't agree with the concept of the Balance Blade in his heart, and he didn't have much respect for Kreiss. Most Romans are different. In Rome, everyone's worship of gods goes deep into every corner of life. Even for foreign gods, they are very tolerant. The reason why Zhang Heng is willing to join Balance Blade is purely for those assassins' fighting skills. of.
But now Dadatis can't find any other better replacements after losing Habitus, not to mention that in the eyes of Dadatis, Zhang Heng is a natural assassin embryo, he and Habitus The defective products are different, they are simply the most perfect assassin template created by Kreuth himself.
Calm, low-key, with excellent observation and analysis skills. Judging from the three previous fights, his physical fitness and reaction ability are also top-notch. He doesn't even need to be refined, as long as he polishes it a little, he will shine brilliantly. of brilliance.
If such talents cannot be absorbed into the Balance Blade, it will be a loss to the Balance Blade.
In addition, Dadatis himself is also selfish. As he grows older, he has become more and more aware of his inability to do what he wants, so he really started to put the search for an heir on the agenda. The three previous assassinations failed, and his There is loss in my heart, and there is unwillingness, but I am also a little happy besides unwillingness and loss.
Because he reconfirmed that Zhang Heng is the person he is looking for, but the old man is a bit hot now, and he is like all people who fall into unrequited love, comforting his feelings will be something that will be cultivated, how does the other party think The idea of the Balance Blade has nothing to do with Kreiss, anyway, marry first and occupy the pit first.
So he coughed and said, "According to the plan, I should teach you about fighting first, but your own fighting skills are already very strong, so don't worry about this. I can wait for the fighting skills of assassination." I'll teach you later, I think you seem to be very interested in Habitus's footsteps, so I'll start with stealth, which is also one of the basic skills of an assassin."
