So you found me, after everything has been settled, you and me, the two remaining remaining culprits of the Balance Blade, oh, and maybe your teacher, but considering his age, I doubt he even Might not be able to go where I sent him. Lucilla smiled self-deprecatingly, "We are all members of Balance Blade now, admit it, we have already lost, if I were you, I wouldn't waste precious time on a dying person body, you should leave Rome overnight before they catch you. "
"Maybe." Zhang Heng was noncommittal, and then asked, "What about you? Why don't you go."
"Because I am the daughter of Aurelius, the wife of Lucius, Augusta of the Roman Empire, I will not run away, let alone with my identity, no matter where I flee, people will recognize me." Lucy Radao, "They won't do anything to me for the time being, because I am Commodus's only blood relative, and they must take this into consideration."
"So you plan to understand yourself like this?" Zhang Heng pointed to the jade vial on the ground.
"As I said, we lost this time. I accept this result, but I will not put my life and death in the hands of others. I am in constant anxiety and waiting for that day to come. It is better than this Die with dignity now." Lucilla puffed her chest out, "Don't underestimate a woman's determination, Leopatra VII has her poisonous snake, and I have mine too."
"It's admirable, but I have to correct one point, you lost, not us." Zhang Heng said, "I haven't lost yet."
"Have you lost your mind because of what happened tonight?" Lucilla frowned, "You are not even qualified to participate in this war, so what are you talking about winning or losing?"
"Some things may only be seen more clearly by bystanders." Zhang Hengdao, "Oh, I'm not talking about you without clothes, but before that, I have to confirm one thing with you."
"What is it?" Lucilla asked.
"Is our previous agreement still valid?"
"Our agreement?" Lucilla was puzzled.
"I'll help you get rid of Ortrus, and you take me to the secret library of the Blade of Balance," Zhang Heng said, "As you said, we are the only three people left in the Blade of Balance. I know where I went to have fun, so now it seems that I can only point to you and lead me into the library of the Balance Blade. I believe you can see when I talk here, why I didn't rush out of the city tonight , but to come to you first."
Zhang Heng looked at Lucilla, "I need you to live, at least until I enter the library, which means that this time I am afraid I will make a loss-making deal, not only to kill Ortrus for you as agreed, And I have to help you solve the problem of the hound."
"You are alone now, without any companions or support, and you want to fight two powerful enemies at the same time, what are you going to do?" Lucilla looked skeptical when she heard this, "Wait until tomorrow morning, even if the hounds don't find you You, your wanted posters will be posted all over the streets and alleys of this city."
"Well... since we are the Assassin Organization, let's solve it in an Assassin way this time." Zhang Heng said, "After all, the people who taught me these skills have always emphasized to me that tradition is very important."
"Not to mention that you haven't passed the test to become a real assassin, you don't even know who the target is or where, so how can you kill them?" Lucilla continued to ask.
Zhang Heng smiled, took out three copper coins from his pocket, and arranged them in his palms one by one, "Blade of Balance, Ortrus, Hound, if I can't see what is on the back of any of them, I will follow your suggestion and escape from Rome overnight, and I will not come to see you at all, I wonder if such an answer will satisfy you?"
"Do you know where Ortrus is hiding? And you also know who the leader of the hounds is?" Lucilla's eyes widened. "How is this possible? The Balance Blade has been investigating for so long, but they haven't been able to find this. Otherwise we wouldn't have been defeated."
"As I said, some things may only be seen better by the outside. And I have to admit, it took me a lot of time, and a little bit of luck, to sort out all the problems before tonight Well, fortunately, my luck has always been good."
Zhang Heng stood up from his seat while talking, "If you don't mind, I will start work next."
After speaking, Zhang Heng walked to the balcony, but stopped when he reached a pot of cosmos, "By the way, I do have a question that I haven't thought through clearly. Who is the traitor in the Balance Blade?"
Lucilla shook her head when she heard the words, "There are no traitors in Balance Blade. After the incident two hundred years ago, we have strict requirements for loyalty and belief when selecting members. People like you are aliens. This is why we It's been hard to accept your reasons."
"Oh, I see. The so-called traitors are your people who deliberately turned to Otrus. In this way, the agreement you made with me before was just to confuse the enemy. You don't need to come from Otrus at all. What came out of his mouth, no, even letting me approach Commodus is just for you to distract the enemy, you didn't expect me to find Ortrus at all, right?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, that's right." Lucilla sighed, "Because Otrus's whereabouts are too mysterious, we wanted to use this method to drive a nail in Otrus, but it turns out that Otrus Truss wouldn't trust anyone at all, and in the end our people were used by him to send back wrong information, and eventually the Balance Blade lost the war."
"If you knew Otrus's growth experience, maybe you wouldn't have such illusions." Zhang Heng said.
"What growth experience?"
"Otrus is Commodus's twin brother. He was infected with a strange disease when he was five years old. The initial guess should be that it is a disease called polio in our country, which can cause paralysis and the like. Things, it looks a little deformed, but the court priest said that this child is cursed and will bring bad luck. For the sake of this country and people, he must be killed. I believe you know the tricks behind this matter better than me. After all, it will You should be in your teens too, but it took me a long time to find out this secret."
"Yes, that's right, my father finally had the child killed and declared that he died of a disease." Lucilla said, "I still remember this incident. I can't forget that when he said goodbye at the last time, he saw look at me."
"Actually, your father didn't kill the child, but sent him away secretly, and entrusted him to a confidant who guarded the frontier, so that the child survived, of course, it was not for anyone."
"He is my younger brother?" Lucilla asked in disbelief.
"Yes, so if you change your mind now, there is still time, you know, to let him live or something, after all, he is also your blood relative."
"No, kill him." Lucilla resolutely said, "There is only one person who can live between him and me. If he doesn't die, then I will die. As for his story, you can wait until after you kill him." Tell me more slowly."
"Heh, I like working for the Emperor's House a little bit now, at least you are all very cheerful." Zhang Heng shrugged.
