Nios pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I did this to deliberately disclose false news to the other party, so as to have the effect of guiding the enemy's actions."

"That...you don't need to explain, my lord." Fei raised her little hand.

"And we don't have a gathering of assassins, and we won't gather at Coles' house. Instead, we will ambush at the place where Fario is actually detained."

"My lord, I said I don't want to know."

Neos turned to the moon and shook his sleeves: "But the outside of the city is already in danger, Paulinus must only mobilize the garrison inside the city, and the guards in the prison will be greatly reduced by then."

"grown ups......"

Neos turned his head and smiled: "What else do you want to ask?"

Fei blinked: "Actually, my lord, you just want to say it yourself. It doesn't matter whether anyone asks or not, but you must say it."

"..."

Neos paused for a moment and said, "Quiet, listen carefully."

"Oh."

......

The night is getting darker, but the hustle and bustle does not fall into the day.Soldiers with torches shuttled through the city, the blacksmith's fire filled the night sky with the sound of hammering iron, and the slaves carrying supplies came and went. Residents hid in blankets, feeling the tense atmosphere in the air, making it difficult to fall asleep.

In the tent, the tall soldier who broke in suddenly finished his report.

Paulinus slammed his clenched fist on the table: "Nios! Are you sure the assassin is called that man!"

"Yes, I was right under their feet, and I could hear them clearly!" The tall soldier stood up straight and nodded.

"How dare he! How dare he!" Paulinus gritted his teeth, his face like red-hot iron.

As a person who was chased all the way by him, he actually appeared under his nose like this, and after scolding himself at the banquet, he left generously!

This is more than a provocation, it is an insult!

People almost spit in his face face to face!

"What are we going to do, my lord?" the adjutant asked frightenedly.

"Kill him, definitely kill him!"

Paulinus growled, his eyes were filled with real anger, his clenched teeth were almost bleeding.

"Everyone involved, whether it's the assassin or Coles, everyone who has come into contact with him must not be let go!"

"Gather the garrison in the city for me, everyone who enters Coles' house tomorrow night will not stay!"

"understand!"

......

"Sorry, Coles, although it hasn't been long, it's still a pleasure to meet you." Neos stood at the window, watching the soldiers gather from a distance, and walked towards the mansion on the river bank.

There was a crackling sound behind him.

Neos turned around.

Fei looked down at the clothes on her body with a look of surprise.

The neat and close-fitting gray suit, the brown bearskin waist, the dagger and sword sheath hanging on it, the simple pattern carved on the iron wrist armor, coupled with the wide and deep hood, instantly enhances the style Several layers.

"Do you like it, this is customized by me, it can make you move more easily while providing protection, and the hood can also prevent pedestrians from seeing your face clearly."

Nios smiled: "As for your weapon, I have thought of a weapon that allows you to flip your wrist and a dagger can pop out from under your sleeve.

But how to do it, I have to study and research, so I can only trouble you to hold it for a while. "

"How dare..."

Fei shook her head: "...I am already very grateful for your consideration for me!"

"Really." Nios twitched the corner of his mouth, hesitating to speak.

The falcon suddenly flapped its wings and called a few times.

Fei realized that something was wrong with Neos, and raised his head: "My lord? Do you have anything to say?"

Neos froze for a moment, pondered for a few seconds, and called, "Fei."

"Yes?" Fei tilted her head.

"Don't you blame me?" Neos asked.

"What are you blaming, sir?"

Neos closed his eyes: "That is... to train you as a tool to kill people, and treat you as a pawn in your hand."

Fei shook her head ignorantly: "No."

"I'm not curious, I betrayed the innocent Coles so easily?"

Fei blinked and blinked: "Why are you curious?"

Neos slowly opened his eyes: "Then what if one day I leave you behind, just like them?"

"If doing that can help adults..."

The girl pursed her lips, knelt down on one knee, lowered her head slightly, and put on the hood: "...I am willing to give everything."

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, the sound of soldiers and horses, screams, and the sound of wind blowing leaves.

Neos looked directly at the girl for a long time, thinking of many things for no reason.The first time I picked her up in the cave, I hugged my sister's body and cried until I fainted; I knelt in the muddy ground and begged myself not to abandon her; look like...

She should have had a better life instead of being a heartless assassin like herself.

What have I done?

Neos touched his chest subconsciously, wanting to feel whether he still had a conscience.

Those Celtic warriors who were used by him, the London businessman who was betrayed by him, and the ignorant girl who was transformed by him...

No guilt, no empathy, it's as if everything is justified.

What exactly did he have to go through to give birth to such a jerk-level character like himself?

Nios stood up with the corner of the table, forcibly suppressed the turning thoughts, and smiled habitually: "Okay, let's go, and save Fario."

......

At night, the moonlight floats.

Neos, who left the hotel, walked into the alley, fast first and then slow, and entered the state of walking when he approached the temple in the city.

The corner ahead is faintly bright, and the fire is getting brighter, someone is coming!

Neos stepped forward suddenly and stood in front of the patrolling Roman soldiers with an extremely calm expression.

"There's someone behind you."

"Who?" The soldier turned around.

"I!"

The lips hidden under the hood hooked, and the black shadow fell like an eagle.

Assassination in the air!

......

Neos hummed a ditty and walked out from the corner unsteadily.

"Hey, whoever you are, leave me now!" roared the Roman soldier, drew his dagger and approached him.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed.

The soldier didn't pay attention to the groove in the darkness beside him, and stuck out a hand, and then his neck felt cold, and blood gushed like a tide.

Neos raised his eyebrows, looked at the fallen soldiers, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, someone is injured here!"

After a quick smoke, wipe yourself and leave.

The girl also reacted quickly, turned around, climbed to the top of the wall a few times, and disappeared into the night.

That night, the entire city of London began to lose its tranquility.

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Returning and Leaving

The wind from the sea to the east blows through the mane, and a touch of tenderness and fragrance breaks into the stench.Like a mother's fingertips.

After staying in the dark for so long, Fario almost forgot what light is.

In a trance, it seems to go back to a long time ago, the birds are singing, the river is pulsating, and the cloud-shrouded sacred mountain is under the white curtain of the sky.

"Fario, what did you see?" Father's gentle voice echoed in his ears.

"The sun passes by the gray star and enters the wolf palace. The main star remains unchanged, but Xiling will rise, which means that the war is coming. So father, is the Lord God going to punish us?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? Don't you really think that the group of old maids on Shenshan will answer me?"

"But... father, we are druids!"

"Your father, I have been the high priest for 38 years. I haven't heard the fairy of the lake speak to me once. The Green Prophet sleeps every day. Maybe the gods have forgotten us."

"but......"

"but what?"

Fario said weakly: "But don't we still have to show the astrology and divination to the leaders of the various tribes?"

"Do you think those leaders really believe this?"

The old man leaned under the tent, took a sip from the wine jar at his waist, "They just can't fight anymore, they want to find an excuse to stop the war, or they are bored, and then find a reason to start the war?"

"The only ones who really believe in this are the peasants, miners and warriors. After all, they are only obedient if they believe in it."

"And our mission is far greater than this!"

In the evening long ago, the sky was dim yellow and bright blue.

Father and son, teachers and students are all dressed in green, sitting in Stonehenge on the grassy knoll, looking side by side at the Welsh wilderness.

Then not long after Fario became high priest, the Romans set foot on the island with their legions.
