You're lying," Lucilla took a deep breath, "you're just saying that so I can forgive you for what you did, and let you go. "
"Maybe maybe not." Pompeianus didn't argue too much on this issue, and there wasn't any panic on his face. In fact, from the moment his identity was exposed until now his His expression was very calm, as if he didn't see the dagger on his chest, and he said leisurely, "No matter how much you hate me, there is at least one thing you can't deny, that is, I am indeed this The best person in the world for you."
"No, you're just a liar full of lies." Lucilla looked at Zhang Heng, who was eating melons and watching the fun, and seemed to have finally made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Kill him! I'll tell you the balance after I kill him." Where is the Blade's library."
"make a deal."
Zhang Heng was also very straightforward. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Hearing this, he pushed the dagger into Pompeianus' chest neatly.
"That's why I like you," Pompeoianus said with a smile, still looking at Lucilla at the last moment of his life, "but don't worry, dear, not even death can separate us."
"What does that mean?" Lucilla's expression changed slightly.
Pompeianus, however, could no longer answer, for he was not breathing.
Zhang Heng drew out the dagger, "He is dead, and I have fulfilled the agreement with you, and it is your turn to fulfill your part."
"Wait, what did he mean by that last sentence?" Lucilla frowned.
"I can't answer your question. My understanding of him is limited to the part related to the hunting dog." Zhang Heng said, "Maybe you should ask yourself, after all, you and him have been married for so long."
Lucilla's expression was a little uncertain, but she finally didn't bother with this question, and said instead, "You seem to have a way to hide in the city, can I hire you to be my assassin, in this war I lost all the assassins from the Balance Blade, but we can recruit new people, you can become the leader of the assassins, all the resources left by the Balance Blade can be deployed by you, and I will also pay You, a lot of money."
Zhang Heng was completely indifferent when he heard the words. He wiped off the blood on the dagger, and then put the dagger back into his arms, "Sorry, the only thing I'm interested in is the whereabouts of the library."
Lucilla's face was sullen when she heard the words, but she quickly settled her emotions.
Although she still has many allies in politics, and she still has the identity of the imperial sister, but the destruction of the Balance Blade has indeed weakened her power a lot, and Zhang Heng was able to kill Ortrus and discover Pompeo. Although it's a pity that Si's hidden identity can't be used by her, Lucilla doesn't want to make another strong enemy for herself at this time.
So she nodded and said, "That's a pity, you wait."
After speaking, Lucilla walked to her dressing table again, took out one of her dressing boxes, and then took out a map from the interlayer below.
"Where is this?" Zhang Heng took the map, opened it and looked at it, a little confused.
"Egypt." Lucilla said, "The secret library of the Blade of Balance was originally located in Greece, but because of the appearance of traitors two hundred years ago, it had to be relocated. For security reasons, those people at that time moved the new library in a desert in Egypt."
"Ha, then it seems that I can enjoy my long-distance travel next, and I hope the scenery along the way is not bad." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
...
After killing Pompeianus, Zhang Heng basically dealt with all the affairs in the city of Rome, and then he returned to the southeast city, mainly to arrange things after he left.
As for why Lucilla was curious about why Marcus, Soap and others didn't betray him for a high reward, the reason is also very simple, not because Zhang Heng's charm is big enough, but because Zhang Heng used his little cheat again He showed his pair of shadow wings in front of Marcus, Soap and others, which had a huge impact on the spirits of several people. It is hard to say how long the effect of this move will be effective, but it was enough for Zhang Heng to get through the time. Difficult situation.
The last place Zhang Heng went to was the Red Nose Blacksmith's Shop, where he took out the props that he had stored there that he could not use temporarily, because if nothing happened, he would not return to this city in the future, and then Zhang Heng Using his lv2 make-up skills to blend in with the team leaving the city, he successfully passed the city gate, and then looked back at Rome behind him.
In just six months here, he went from being a slave to being a gladiator champion to being favored by the emperor, who was bestowed with the status of a free man, gradually became a noble with a fief, and finally became a criminal wanted by the entire empire. More ups and downs than his life experience.
However, Zhang Heng himself did not have much emotional fluctuations, because he was just a passer-by in Rome in the second century AD. For him, whether he was a noble or not here was not even as interesting as admiring the scenery and charm of the city. .
Then Zhang Heng looked back. He has less than a year left in the game in this dungeon, which seems quite long, but considering the traffic conditions on the road at this time, it may take him just to travel from Rome to Egypt. It takes a lot of time. If you go by land, you may not be able to reach your destination in a few months.
But fortunately, you can take a boat and cross the Mediterranean Sea directly, and the current wind direction is suitable for this voyage. Zhang Heng found a grain ship at the pier that is about to return. Don’t be surprised. Modern people think that Egypt is full of deserts and deserts. Pyramids, but in the second century AD, Egypt was known as the granary of the Nile, and the grain shipped from here every year fed half of the population of the Roman Empire.
After paying a gold coin for the boat ticket, Zhang Heng successfully found a bed for himself on the boat, and returning to the sea again made Zhang Heng feel a little kind. They got to know each other so well that after arriving in Egypt, the captain wanted to keep Zhang Heng and let him work on the ship, but the latter declined in the end.
Zhang Heng didn't forget the purpose of his trip. Of course, he still spent two weeks after docking to get a card at the pyramid. Afterwards, Zhang Heng bought 30 camels and prepared enough for himself. After eating food and water for seven months, and hiring a few local guides, I made sufficient preparations before marching towards the desert marked on the map.
