There is also a reason why Ortrus did not escape immediately.
Zhang Heng not only changed into a black suit this time, but also put on a hood. Although Otrus noticed Zhang Heng's arrival in time, he didn't know where the assassin was sent.
According to the news he got, the Blade of Balance was finished, and there was only one alternate member left outside. Even if he was still alive, he should be too busy to take care of himself and would not come to trouble him. Although the Hound is now an ally with him, but Ortrus was not completely at ease with them either. The two sides formed an alliance because of a common enemy. Now that the enemy is gone, the relationship between the allies will naturally be dissolved.
If the assassin was sent by the Hound, Otrus would not be too surprised. In addition, he has other enemies, big and small. Otrus needs to confirm his identity at the first time. Who is the opponent, especially how did the opponent get to his hiding place.
These temples hide the biggest secret of Ortrus. If the things in the stone seat of the statue are exposed, let alone what kind of impact it will bring, his most important information channel will be cut off from now on. Although Otrus's own ability is not bad, it's like a magician has lost his best magic.
Ortrus still wants to keep this secret if possible, which is why he took the risk of talking to Zhang Heng.
Otrus has always been a very cautious person, but at the same time he is also a very conceited person. He is very confident in his voice tricks. Coupled with the name of Hades, no matter how determined a person is standing here tonight Everyone should be nervous.
As a result, Otrus received a small gift from Zhang Heng. Otrus was indeed furious at the beginning, wishing to cut the corpse of a bastard who scraped a copper pipe with a knife, but after that After the side effect of the sound passed, his head gradually calmed down, and Ortrus realized that it might not be safe for him to stay here any longer.
He even regretted why he didn't leave early in the morning.
Fortunately, there should be time to go again now. Otrus did not hesitate this time, grabbed his cane, and said to the guards around him, "Let's go to the tunnel."
Hearing the words, the guards protected him in the middle, and then moved from the side door to another stone room.
However, they only took two steps, and the guard at the back of the line suddenly fell to his knees. His back was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the rest of the guards also became nervous. They spontaneously divided into two teams, one team stayed to block the enemy, and the remaining two continued to protect Otrus and ran towards the stone chamber with the tunnel.
Otrus, who was already inconvenient in his legs and feet, fell in the panic, and his cane flew aside, but Otrus had no time to pick it up. Although the copper pipe has a good effect on transmitting sound, with distance In order to better hear what Zhang Heng was saying, he chose a stone room closer to Zhang Heng, but the price was that he could not directly enter the tunnel from that stone room. Walk a short distance, but fortunately, this distance is not long, only about fifty meters.
But now Otrus feels that this is the longest fifty meters in his life.
Otrus was immediately helped up by two guards around him shortly after he fell, and the guards almost ran with him for the next 30 meters. Otrus vaguely heard the sound of fighting behind him, But the sound didn't last long.
It disappeared after a few seconds, and hope rose again in Ortrus' heart.
Because there were six people left in the team, all of whom he brought from the frontier, it stands to reason that it is impossible for them to be dealt with so quickly, so they have a greater hope of killing the assassin, but Ortrus did not stop there. He stopped, and still ran towards the authentic stone chamber.
He was less than two meters away from the stone room, but the next moment, he felt a gust of air passing by his ears, and then the guard on his left was shot and fell to the ground, with Otru Si also lost his center of gravity, and the guard on his right wanted to draw out his weapon to resist.
However, the figure holding the Persian sword on the opposite side easily cut open his chest without much effort.
After that, Zhang Heng walked up to Otrus who was still crawling forward. The latter had already climbed to the door, almost touching the door of the stone chamber, but then he heard the voice behind him, "Your sister asked me to You send her greetings."
At this moment, Otrus finally could no longer maintain the calmness and pride of the past, and begged, "No, it's impossible, I can double the amount she pays you, not ten times, if you change it kill me!"
"I feel your sincerity, but I'm sorry, you can't give what she paid me." Zhang Heng grabbed Otrus's hair while talking.
The fear in Otrus' eyes gradually turned into anger, and he kept repeating, "No, I have escaped from death once! I won't just die here, I won't just Died here like this."
"It's a pity, but I'm afraid you are really going to die this time, but the good news is that everyone has heard the news of your death five days ago, and I also attended the funeral held by His Majesty, which was pretty good." Zhang Heng slit Ortrus' throat as he spoke.
The latter's fear and anger finally turned into unwillingness, which was forever frozen in his eyes.
...
Zhang Heng solved the first goal of the night, but encountered some troubles when going out from the stone chamber maze. Since the way he came in was blocked, Zhang Heng had to go around a long way before restarting. Back on the ground, it was almost dawn by this time.
Zhang Heng saw the wanted portrait of him posted on the street, so he had to put on his hood while there were not many people, and returned to the southeast city first. The deepest hidden one.
The leader of the hounds.
Zhang Heng didn't get any clues about him before. It is mysterious enough to say that Otrus, but compared with the leader of the hound generation, Otrus's name is at least known to everyone in the upper class. In contrast, whether the leader of the hound exists is a problem. If it was not for an accident, Zhang Heng would not have known the identity of the other party.
Zhang Heng originally wanted to assassinate the leader of the hounds after killing Ortrus, but he was accidentally trapped by the maze, and missed that night. When the reward was posted, Zhang Heng's actions were greatly affected. Fortunately, since Zhang Heng knew who the leader of the hounds was, he also knew what the best chance to assassinate him was.
Zhang Heng simply stopped moving, just quietly waiting for the other party to come to his door.
