Probably because the previous strategy didn't work, the attitude of the priestess has changed drastically from before, and even her tone has softened a lot. Although it still sounds emotionless, she no longer has that aggressive posture, more like He was negotiating with Zhang Heng, and the conditions offered were very favorable.
However, Zhang Heng did not immediately agree. Negotiations are always about haggling, so Zhang Heng paused for a moment and said, "One more thing, after the execution of this oracle, I will not be selected as an oracle again." executor."
"It's impossible." The priestess shook her head, "Firstly, it's against the rules, and secondly, even if I am willing to agree to you, I can't do it. Although I issued the oracle, the executor was elected by the Council of Assassins. , if everyone thinks that you are suitable to execute the oracle, then you will be selected to execute the oracle, and generally the same person will not be allowed to execute the oracle twice in a row."
However, such an answer did not satisfy Zhang Heng, so he continued, "Then you can choose not to issue an oracle. I heard from Dadatis that there were no oracles in more than 40 years before."
"..."
The priestess was speechless, "What do you think of me? I'm just the spokesperson of Kreis in the world. I can't decide whether or when Kreis will issue the oracle, and the matter of the hounds is Dada. Tis also told you that the recent period has not been peaceful, even if there is no oracle, you may not be able to relax."
"Then what else can you offer me?" Zhang Heng asked.
The priestess bit her lip, "If you must take advantage of this transaction, how about including me?"
Zhang Heng was quite surprised. He didn't expect this woman as cold as marble to say such words suddenly, "Aren't you a priest?"
"I'm not the saint of Vesta. The priests of Keluis don't need to be pure. In fact, our teachings also involve things between men and women. Keluis encourages such things. part of the balance."
"Thank you... for your kindness, really, but I'm not interested in marble." Zhang Heng said, because there was a black cloth covering his eyes, he couldn't see the flash of anger in the eyes of the priestess opposite, which is probably the worst thing for a woman. insult.
However, the latter's expression quickly returned to normal, and he said coldly, "Then it's up to you to set the price."
"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you, except let me go to the library, and let Dadatis retire early." Zhang Heng changed the conditions.
"Huh?" It was the priestess' turn to be the one who got the accident. She didn't expect Zhang Heng's second condition to be related to Dadatis.
"That guy is already old, although he himself has never admitted this, his skills are as slow as a frozen earthworm, and he can only rely on a little cleverness to fool around like this, so he doesn't have much knowledge about the Balance Blade. Useful, besides, now that you have me, you can let that guy go home to retire." Zhang Heng said.
"You are worried that the war between us and the hounds will affect him." The priestess suddenly said, "I didn't expect that he still has a lot of weight in your heart, but unless he asks to retire and pass the position to you , no one can force him to leave Balance Blade, how about this, I have a good relationship with him, I can find an excuse to trick him to some remote place for a trip, and when he comes back, it will be at least a year later, then You should have taken his place by then, what do you think?"
"Deal." Zhang Heng said.
The priestess finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. This meeting was completely different from what she had imagined, and it was out of her control from the very beginning. Neither the prison-like carriage nor her subsequent threats allowed her to occupy it. She took the initiative, so she had to pay a higher price to get Zhang Heng's cooperation.
"How should I notify you when I find Otrus?" Zhang Heng then asked.
"Go to Perfume Shop Street, find a perfume shop with iris flowers outside, say you want to buy a bottle of perfume without any smell, and then pay a sestus to the person who receives you, and he will lead you to my person of."
After talking about this matter, the attitude of the priestess became cold again, as if she had completely lost interest in Zhang Heng.
So Zhang Heng didn't stay any longer with a wink, and lay down in the carriage again. Then the priestess lowered the baffle, called the slaves outside, and sent Zhang Heng back to the small bridge where he came. The old Persian trainer and the oarless boat were gone.
The other party seemed very cautious in this meeting, and did not disclose any information related to the location to him from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Heng could only tell from the blurred vision through the black cloth that he was in a room. Other than that, he spent most of his time in that small, damp compartment.
However, if the other party thinks that they can completely hide it from him, then they are underestimating him too much. Zhang Heng glanced at the starfish in his hand. This watch accompanied him through various dungeons, and it was amazing that no matter what era, no matter how cautious his opponent was, he would ignore the existence of this watch.
It is like a blind spot in the world. Although the above time is still the time in the real world, you can also get the time in the instance by multiplying it by the flow rate of the instance. Zhang Heng put it by his ear in the car before. , divide the route into equal parts from the tick interval of the second hand.
He mentally recorded the steering of each part of the carriage, and then recorded the road conditions during the journey through the degree of bumps.
But considering that the priestess was probably hiding somewhere to observe him after sending him to the bridge, Zhang Heng didn't immediately turn around to find the room where he was a guest, but returned to his own residence first.
Zhang Heng fell asleep straight into the morning, and the little female slave got up early to prepare the meal, but someone didn't seem to open her eyes at all, so she could only put the breakfast on the table, and then dragged Jaws twitched at the table.
As a result, after waiting for breakfast, Zhang Heng got up from the bed and yawned. The little female slave expressed concern about his current situation, "Although we still have money left on hand, Half, but if you don't work, you can last for less than two months, or I'll go to the laundry room to work again."
"Did you remember that there are other jobs to do now? Don't worry, money is not a problem. Someone will send us money soon." Zhang Heng picked up a piece of bread while talking.
As if in response to what he just said, there was a knock on the door immediately.
