So you found me, and after everything was settled, you and me, the only two remaining remnants of Balance Blade, oh, maybe your teacher, but considering his age, I even doubt that he might not be able to go where I sent him." Lucira smiled self-deprecatingly, "We are now all members of Balance Blade, admit that we have lost. If I were you, I would not waste my precious time on a dying man. You should leave Rome overnight before they caught you."

"Maybe," Zhang Heng refused to comment, and then asked, "Where are you? Why don't you leave?"

"Because I am the daughter of Aurelius, the wife of Lucius, Augusta of the Roman Empire, I will not escape, not to mention that in my capacity, no matter where I escape, I will recognize me." Lucira said, "They will not attack me for the time being, because I am Commod's only blood relative, and they must take this into consideration."

"So you plan to understand yourself just like this?" Zhang Heng pointed to the small jade bottle on the ground.

"Like I said, we lost this time, and I accept this result, but I will not hand over my life and death to others. I am in a panic all day long, waiting for that day to come. Rather than doing this, it is better to die with dignity now." Lucyra raised her chest, "Don't underestimate the determination of a woman. Leopatra VII has her venomous snake, and I have mine."

"It's admirable, but I want to correct it. It's you who lost, not us." Zhang Heng said, "I haven't lost yet."

"Have you lost your mind because of what happened tonight?" Lucira frowned. "You are not even qualified to participate in this war, so what are you going to win or lose?"

"Some things may only be seen more clearly by the bystanders." Zhang Heng said, "Oh, I'm not talking about you who are not wearing clothes, but I have to confirm something with you before that."

"What's the matter?" Lucira asked.

“Did our previous agreement still work?”

"Our agreement?" Lucira was puzzled.

"I will help you solve the Utruss, and you will take me to the secret library of Balance Blade," Zhang Heng said. "Just you said, we are the only three remaining Balance Blade. Given that my teacher didn't know where to go to have fun, it seems that I can only point at you and take me into the library of Balance Blade. I believe that when I talk about this, you can also see why I didn't escape from the city tonight, but came to you first."

Zhang Heng looked at Lucira, "I need you to live, at least until I enter the library. This means that I may have to do a loss-making business this time. Not only will I kill Aotrus for you as agreed, but I will also help you solve the trouble of the hunting dog."

"You are alone now, without any companions or support. What do you plan to do if you want to fight two powerful enemies at the same time?" Lucira looked suspicious when she heard this. "When it's dawn tomorrow, even if the Hounds don't find you, your wanted order will be posted throughout the streets and alleys of the city."

"Well... since we are an assassin organization, let's solve the problem this time in an assassin way." Zhang Heng said, "After all, the people who teach me these skills have always emphasized to me that tradition is very important."

"Not to mention that you have not passed the assessment and become a real assassin. You don't even know who you are and where you are, so how can you kill them?" Lucila continued to ask.

Zhang Heng smiled, took out three copper coins from his pocket, and arranged them in his palms in turn, "Blade of Balance, Utrus, Hound, if I can't see what the back of any of the coins is, I will follow your suggestions tonight and escape from Rome overnight. I will never come to see you. I don't know if such an answer will satisfy you?"

"Do you know where Autrus is hiding? And you also know who the leader of the Hound is?" Lucira's eyes widened, "How is this possible? The Balance Blade has been investigating for so long, but it hasn't been able to find these, otherwise we wouldn't have been defeated."

"As I said, there are some things that may only be seen more clearly by the bystanders. And it must be admitted that it took me a lot of time and a little luck to sort out all the questions before tonight. Fortunately, my luck has always been pretty good."

Zhang Heng stood up from his seat as he said, "If you don't mind, I'll start work next."

After saying that, Zhang Heng walked to the balcony, but when he walked to a basin of cosmos, he stopped again, "By the way, I really have a question that I didn't think clearly about, who is the traitor in the Balance Blade?"

Lucira shook her head when she heard this, "There are no traitors in the Balance Blade. After that incident two hundred years ago, we had strict requirements on loyalty and faith when choosing members. People like you are aliens, which is also the reason why it has been difficult for us to accept you."

"Oh, I understand, is the so-called traitor your people deliberately surrender to Autrus? In other words, your previous agreement with me was just to confuse the enemy. You don't need to ask anything from Autrus. No, even letting me approach Commod is just for distracting the enemy. You didn't expect me to find Autrus, right?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's right." Lucyra sighed. "Because Otrus's whereabouts were too mysterious, we wanted to use this method to nail a nail to Otrus. However, it turned out that Otrus would not trust anyone at all. In the end, our people were used to convey the wrong information, which eventually led to the Balance Blade losing the war."

"If you knew Otrus's growth experience, you might not have such fantasies." Zhang Heng said.

“What kind of growth experience?”

"Otrus is Commod's twin brother. He was infected with a strange disease when he was five years old. It was initially speculated that it should be in our... Well, the country is called polio, which can cause paralysis and other things. It looks a bit deformed, but the court priest said that this child was cursed and would bring bad luck. For the sake of this country and people, he must be killed. I believe you know better than me about the trick behind this matter. After all, you should have been a teenager at that time. I have been looking for this secret for a long time."

"Yes, yes, my father ended up killing the child and claimed that he died of illness." Lucira said, "I still remember this, and I can't forget the look he looked at me when he said goodbye."

"In fact, your father did not kill the child, but sent him away secretly and entrusted him to a confidant who guarded the border, so that the child could survive, of course, was not for anyone."

"He's my brother?" Lucira said in disbelief.

"Yes, so if you change your mind now, you know, let him have a way out, after all, he is your blood relative."

"No, kill him." Lucyra made a decisive move. "There is only one person who can survive between him and me. If he doesn't die, I will die. As for his story, you can tell me slowly after killing him."

"Ha, I like to do business for the Emperor's House now, at least you are all very happy." Zhang Heng shrugged.
