Views:

Zhang Heng used the fastest speed to deal with the male priest who fell out to release the water, and then came to the temple door and took a look inside.

Unlike the darkness in the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Juno is brightly lit.

Zhang Heng saw two attendants helping a male priest sort out something, which should be the valuable information he got from those children just now.

The location of the three of them was a little far from the gate. Zhang Heng estimated that it would be difficult for him to touch the three of them before the other party noticed, so Zhang Heng took off the [Plague Bone Bow] on his back.

The first arrow accurately hit the throat of a follower. Before the follower could make a sound, his body slid down the marble pillar behind him. Another follower beside him was awakened by the sound of the arrow being shot into his body, and pulled out Putting on the weapon, he opened his mouth to warn loudly, but he didn't expect that he would follow in the footsteps of his companions, and the second arrow came much faster than he expected, and directly pierced his heart.

In order to get rid of these two attendants in the shortest time, Zhang Heng used ordinary arrows for the first arrow, and [Paris' Arrow] for the second arrow. Open the finger, and the next moment [Paris Arrow]'s automatic hit to the vitals will take effect, and the flight route will be corrected by itself.

But when the two attendants fell down, the priest who was busy sorting out the papyrus realized something and raised his head, only to find that Zhang Heng's Persian sword was already on his neck.

"Where is Ortrus?" Zhang Heng asked in a low voice.

"Who?" The priest seemed a little panicked, "I don't know what Ortrus is. This is the temple of Queen Juno. We don't have much money. If you want to rob someone, you should go to the nobles down the mountain."

"You know I'm not here for the money." Zhang Heng said.

However, just as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from behind the statue room.

There was a look of joy on the priest's face, knowing that someone was coming this way, and the stealth journey of the man in black in front of him might be over.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng reacted simply when he heard the footsteps, and directly pushed the Persian sword in his hand into his neck. The priest looked at the blood gushing from his throat, and seemed a little unbelievable .

And Zhang Heng was already leaning sideways outside the entrance of the corridor.

Before the owner of the footsteps came out of the corridor, he saw the priest covering his neck with his hand, so he subconsciously wanted to walk in to see what happened, but he saw a figure plunge into his arms, Zhang Heng also used this leap to insert a dagger into the heart of the visitor.

So far, he has dealt with five enemies, basically within one move, trying to prevent the dead from making too many noises and being discovered.

It's not that Zhang Heng suddenly wanted to pursue a five-star achievement of stealth clearance on a whim, but because he knew that Ortrus had a secret passage that could lead directly to Commodus's study, and the other end of the secret passage might not even In addition, Zhang Heng didn't know if there were other exits on the way.

In order not to cause trouble for himself as much as possible, Zhang Heng certainly hoped to solve this trouble before Ortrus got into the secret passage, so he chose the stealthy fighting method.

So far, the progress has been smooth. Although the male priest did not directly ask where Otrus is, but fortunately the temple is not particularly large, Zhang Heng put it away and took back the [Paris Arrow] ], continue walking along the corridor.

The oil lamp on the stone wall of the corridor was not as bright as in the hall outside, casting Zhang Heng's shadow on the wall, wobbling and looking a little gloomy.

In particular, there are one or two stone chambers around here and there, which seem to be quite old. They should be the rooms where the priests lived hundreds of years ago. However, the temple has been expanded several times, and now the priests have new residences. , Here also became a place to store files and sundries.

However, after Zhang Heng walked for a while, he also found something wrong. First, he had walked a long way, and he could feel that the terrain had been lowering. Second, there were many more stone chambers here than the Jupiter Temple next door. , and many of the stone chambers are connected to each other, like a maze, so Zhang Heng had to pay attention to write down the path he walked when searching.

But with a loud rumbling noise, Zhang Heng turned his head again and found that there was a huge boulder suddenly on the road when he came.

At the same time Ortrus' voice sounded behind him.

"Who sent you to kill me?"

Zhang Heng turned his head and looked at the place where the sound came from, but there was only a stone wall there, and there was no one. At the same time, Otrus's sneer sounded again, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't see me , do you know where this is?"

"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Heng walked to the stone wall while talking, and looked up at it.

"This is the Hades," Otrus's voice seemed a little gloomy, "except for people like me who have died once, other living people can't get out of here..."

"Ha." Zhang Heng knew that the Underworld was not just in the myths. In fact, there was a Hades in the Roman Forum.

Just beside the gilded pillar that symbolizes the beginning of all roads, there is a small building, the upper part was called the umbilical cord by the Romans, and the lower part was Hades. People in the city of Rome believed that the living world on the ground and the private world below were connected by a crack. There were three days a year when the gates of Hades would open, and these days were also considered unlucky days.

But of course Zhang Heng would not believe these things. He quickly found what he was looking for on the stone wall. It was a copper pipe hidden between the stone cracks. Otrus was leaning on this copper pipe. Let your own voice come over, and play tricks with the gimmick of Hades.

Zhang Heng approached the copper pipe and muttered a few vague words in a low voice. He knew that Otrus on the other side of the copper pipe was probably pricking up his ears to distinguish what he was talking about, so Zhang Heng took out his dagger , Scraped a few times vigorously on the copper pipe.

Otrus on the other side immediately realized what an enhanced version of a chalk-drawing blackboard is, and he almost didn't have dinner vomited out by someone's wave attack.

Zhang Heng wasn't just idle and doing nothing but just adding to the troubles of Otrus. This time Otrus was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. He lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. The sound separation scares Zhang Heng.

I have to admit that his method is still very powerful in this era. In addition to his homemade veritaserum before, Zhang Heng even felt that Ortrus had wronged him by being an advisor to Commodus. An inventor or scientific pioneer or something, enlightening all mankind.

But his small spark of thought is completely at the level of the second grade in elementary school in front of Zhang Heng, who has received nine years of compulsory education and is close to the baptism of science. Moreover, Zhang Heng can hear him speak from the brass pipe in Ortrus It was judged that the latter was not far away from him.

Zhang Heng gave Otrus a set of sonic attacks in the hope of angering Otrus, telling Otrus not to rush into the tunnel, and honestly waiting for him to come to the door.
