"My lord, I don't understand why you read so many books?"
Neos paused, and took a few books from her arms, and the girl felt much more relaxed in an instant.
But he didn't know that he just stood there, turned a few pages, and put them back.
"Some people kill with the sword, like you, but only one person can be killed at a time; while some people kill with their brains, like me, but they can kill tens of thousands." Neos said as he walked.
"Your dagger needs a whetstone, as my mind needs books."
Neos tapped his temple.
"The use of the brain is the biggest difference between us and beasts."
use your brain...
Holding the thick book in her arms, Fei memorized the word.
When Nios walked halfway, he suddenly looked sideways and looked at the girl holding the book steadily, her steps were solid, her breathing was calm, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "After a long period of training, your foundation has been laid, and your strength, speed and coordination are very good. Has reached the strongest of your age.
But this is far from the upper limit of what you can achieve. "
"I don't understand." Fei honestly shook her head.
She is used to not being able to understand anything adults say.
"The body determines the lower limit, and the consciousness determines the upper limit." Nios said: "It means that you can temporarily put down the physical training,
Use the way of performing tasks to accumulate experience and improve combat awareness. "
"Hey, does your lord have any tasks for me?" Fei blinked, her expression was between excitement and nervousness.
"Yes, I just received the news from Coles that Paulinus will enter the city tomorrow. At that time, he will call all the merchants in the city to discuss the defense of the city and the collection of food." Neos said.
"So, am I going to kill him?" Fei asked, tilting her head.
"No no no."
Neos shook his head, looked at the girl, and smiled: "The person I want you to kill tomorrow is me."
Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Meeting
In the Roman province of Britannia, outside London, black smoke columns rose from hundreds of fires, like black fingers poking into the sky, and the sky was thick with smoke.
Across the Thames, flames spread across the horizon.
The first thing Paulinus did after entering the city was to burn everything outside the city walls.
Docks and warehouses, houses and farmland, countless residents fled into the city overnight with flames on their backs, and the air began to fill with tension.
The carriage passed through the long stream of people, and Nios opened the curtain from the inside, muttering to himself: "Mozi's preparation of the city, the people's houses are made of wood, tiles and stones, and those who can build a city are the best."
"You speak Greek, right?" Coles, who was sitting across from him, smiled respectfully and humbly.
Neos came back to his senses and smiled: "No, this is another language."
"As expected of Lord Neos, I heard that only the nobles in Rome can learn Greek or other languages." Coles admired.
"Want to know what it means?"
"Eh?"
Neos pointed to the people hurrying through the streets: "To defend the city, we must confiscate all available timber and tiles, recruit all the people who can serve as labor,
And even if it cannot be confiscated, all of them must be burned, and they will never be left to the enemy. "
"Ah, no wonder..." Coles was taken aback.
"...I saw the flames last night and thought it was the Celtics."
Neos narrowed his eyes narrowly: "Listen to you, aren't you a Celtic?"
The corner of Coles's mouth twitched twice: "Aha, how come, this is a province of Rome, and I was born and raised on the land of Rome, and I am also a Roman."
Neos lowered his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not speak.
Oops!I'm afraid the other party will be dissatisfied with claiming to be a Roman!
Coles suddenly shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and his face became subtle.
The corners of his mouth were grinning stiffly, his yellow teeth bared, and he forced a smile. His two stubby eyebrows were lifted up forcefully, and there were old tree-like wrinkles on his forehead. Both pathetic and funny.
"My lord, my lord... I don't mean to say that I'm Roman, I'm just, just..."
Nios lowered his head and waved his hands, "It's okay, speaking of it, I would like to thank you for dropping me off this time."
Unable to see the attitude of the other party, Coles felt a little empty in his heart, so he could only quickly go down the steps and said, "It's a great honor for you to get in my car."
"Ha ha......"
Neos raised his eyebrows calmly.
The most successful deceptions in the world are all based on the brains of the deceived.
After a series of foreshadowing and performances, the big businessman in London now regards himself as a member of Paulinus, thinking that he was also invited by the Governor's Palace.
And waiting for a while to go to the house, Paulinus will regard himself as a party with the merchant.
Both parties will think that they are the people brought by the other party, and this is his first step.
"By the way, my lord, where is the slave who has been following you?" Coles tried to find a topic, and when he found that the little slave who was inseparable was missing, he asked.
Neos didn't answer.
Coles hurriedly said that he could send some women to him, young and capable ones.
Neos smiled and stopped talking to him.
Because of this, it will involve the second step.
......
Fei got out from the crowd, lowered her head, and glanced around. After confirming that no one was paying attention to her, she turned her footsteps and turned into the alley under the high wall.
Secretive, low-key, as if blending into the world around you.
This is the guideline for action taught by Neos.
"Remember, girl, as an assassin, always keep yourself out of sight."
"People have a 180-degree field of vision, but most people only choose to look at the fixed things at 90 degrees in the middle, but miss the flicker that they missed in the peripheral vision. Did they really not see it?
No, they just selectively ignore and then habitually forget, which is caused by human instinct. "
"You have to learn to hide in their blind spots, see where they can't see, and overcome and use that instinct."
The falcon suddenly roared in the sky.
Before Fei's brain had time to think, her body had already taken the lead, leaning over and striding in an instant, her petite body escaping into the shadow of the vegetation.
Then at the entrance of the alley, two Roman guards in golden armor and red robes walked through the alley while talking to each other.
Half a minute later, where they passed by, the bushes moved slightly, and the girl got out. After a long sigh of relief, she waved her hand to the falcon in the sky.
The falcon tilted its head in the sky, flapped its wings, and flew a little higher.
After confirming that there was no one around, the girl looked up at the high wall, took a deep breath, and began to back away slowly.
After being unable to retreat, she held her breath, kicked her right foot on the ground, and exploded at an astonishing speed.
Then, under the power brought by the run-up, he jumped lightly, kicked his feet alternately on the wall, grabbed a depression with his right hand, exerted force on his back, and the whole person climbed up like a spider.
"Remember, all climbing must not rely too much on your arms, legs, or back, which are the most powerful parts of your body."
The girl Faye kept in mind Lord Neos' teachings and climbed up the high wall.
Then bend up and walk on the top of the wall like a cat, long training, and the ability to keep lower, so that the top of the wall with a narrow center of gravity is like a wide avenue to her.
Felisuo climbed up to the roof along the wall, his heart began to calm down after beating violently.
In the sky, Fario looked down at the huge mansion. When he saw the girl, the falcon swooped down and landed firmly on her shoulder.
Faye scratched its head with a smile, and squatted on the roof in a posture that was extremely synchronized with Fario.
The gasps became thinner, and she realized she was beginning to adjust.
Underneath, people also began to enter the arena.
Surprise flashed in Fei's eyes, and she saw the acquaintance at the door at a glance.
......
Amidst the flying leaves, the carriage stopped close to the gate of the house.
This is a tall building with its back against the Thames River. The outer wall is made of hard orange marble, like a small fortress.
The slaves of Paulinus greeted every incoming guest at the door, and someone specially took the groom to the parking and resting place.
Coles got out of the car, greeted the leading slave, and then invited Nios behind him.
Neos nodded to them, and the slaves froze for a moment, looking at each other left and right.
According to the owner's requirements, they will remember every incoming guest, remember their preferences and appearance, and ensure that all the etiquette is in place, so as not to embarrass the owner's face.
But this sudden stranger made everyone's minds go blank.
Search to no avail.
But seeing this person's extraordinary clothes and appearance, even the wealthy London businessman Coles respected him, so he could only regard Neos as a distinguished guest brought by Coles.
With a more respectful attitude, he was welcomed into the house.
"The sixth and last representative of a wealthy businessman. Coles, 36 years old, his family is an Irish aristocrat. He moved to London 50 years ago to engage in mining and grain trading." Behind the window, the butler slave patiently explained the identity of each person present.
"Where is that person?" Paulinus raised his jaw.
The housekeeper looked along, and saw a tall and thin person below, dressed in a white robe, embroidered with a strange white bird, but he was graceful and graceful, Xiao Shuxuan held it up, and looked like a god.
"I don't know. I've never seen such clothes and hairstyles on anyone. Is there something new in Rome?" He shook his head.
"But it does look like a big man." Paulinus said softly.
"Well, and those businessmen seem to respect him very much."
Paulinus pondered for a moment: "In that case, I'll go down and meet him personally."
