Chapter 52: Threats
Looking at the ring that Justinian threw to him, the assassin's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously raised his head and said, "Who are you? How come you have such a thing?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Justinian also nodded slightly in his heart. As he had guessed before, the man he met in Agrinion was also an Assassin assassin. But what worried Justinian more
The pattern on this ring is exactly the same as the pattern on the Ark of the Covenant. Now that I think about it, when Alexei III saw it
It makes sense that he would be so afraid when he had this thing in his hand. Justinian had a hunch that the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant must be inextricably linked to Assassin, and even the original owner of Justinian's own body seemed
He is also related to this assassin group. Otherwise, how could he have mastered the close combat skills of the Assassins?
But now, what Justinian wants to do is to use this thing to deceive the trust of the killer in front of him, so as to know who the person behind it is, and actually colludes with foreign enemies to try to murder him. Although he knows it well, Justinian
But I had a premonition that this series of actions could not be instigated by one person, not to mention that as an outsider, it would be even more disadvantageous for me to act rashly without evidence.
So I saw Justinian smiling and saying: "This is originally mine, is there anything strange about it?"
"This is impossible, you are lying, this ring is definitely not yours, you are a Greek, and this is only-" the imprisoned Assassin yelled, looking at Justinian fiercely, but his words still remained
Before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Justinian.
Justinian didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "Only fellow Assassins can own this ring, right? But who said that Greeks can't be it? As long as they grow up in the Eagle's Nest,
It is enough to take an oath to be the defender of the will of the Hidden Imam."
But this made the Assassin a little confused, and he swallowed back what he was about to say, because what Justinian just said was indeed the internal teachings of the Assassin, and indeed the Assassin
Many of them were slaves when they were very young, so it is not impossible for Justinian to claim to be one of them.
Especially the brief confrontation when the assassin tried to assassinate Justinian. Now that I think about it, it did have the meaning of a battlefield assassination, which undoubtedly made the assassin a little shaken.
But this was completely within Justinian's expectation, and he immediately asked: "Can you give me your name now, my compatriot?"
"Nureddin, Nureddin Muzako." The assassin subconsciously lowered his guard and replied, but he immediately realized that he should not trust the person in front of him. Just relying on Justinian's one-sided words, he almost
Then you really treat the other person as one of your own.
Looking at the other party's eyes full of alert again, Justinian did not show any disappointment. Although the other party was still doubtful, he was already very sure that since the other party had violated the prohibition and his hunting goal
If there is any unnecessary intersection, then all subsequent precautions will be in vain in Justinian's view.
This is a killer who is even younger than Justinian. He is completely a child. His youthful age means that he cannot be as troublesome as a truly experienced assassin.
But now Justinian couldn't be too anxious, but stood up slowly, glanced at the other party and said: "I know this is indeed hard for you to believe for a while, my compatriot, but I want to emphasize
In a word, I have to commit myself to this for Lord Sheikh, and your cooperation with Laskaris this time has almost ruined this important plan. If I am not wrong, you are here to deal with
The Seljuks must have contacted Nicaea without permission!"
After finishing speaking, Nureddin Muzako in front of him remained speechless and unmoved, but Justinian still keenly captured the inadvertent shrug of the other party's shoulders. In the previous short conversation, he
It was discovered that the older assassin would habitually shrug his shoulders when his heart fluctuated, which also made Justinian secretly relieved. He was just betting that Assassin's action this time did not win the eagle.
However, in order to deal with the Seljuks, they had to cooperate with Nicaea.
Obviously, he made the right bet this time. Although the Assassin sect is an extreme faction among Shiites, both in terms of doctrine and methods, it is very extreme. However, as its power expands, the sect adopts changing strategies and sometimes joins forces.
The Crusaders fought against the Nazi feudal lords, and sometimes allied themselves with the Nazi feudal lords to deal with the Crusaders. Therefore, it is not a new thing for these killers to be hired by the Byzantines. But this will definitely not be recognized by high-level officials like the Sheikh.
, Justinian deliberately brought out the non-existent Sheikh's decree in order to frustrate the mountain and sway the tiger. And the young assassin did not disappoint him, and indeed took the bait.
Without saying anything else, Justinian immediately walked out of the dungeon, and looking at his retreating back, Nurdin, who was silent for a while, couldn't help but look at the ring that Justinian threw to him, his eyes
There was a hint of fear and uneasiness.

On the other side, the atmosphere in Duke Leo's residence became very tense. When he returned from Countess Agnes's residence, he was "greeted" by the Assassins there as soon as he entered the secret room.
.
"What does this mean? I don't think there is any need to do this, Lord Sabah?" Looking at the Damascus knife shining in front of him, even though Leosgros had always been calm, he had to tighten his grip. It was so powerful that it shocked the Crusaders.
It would be easy for Assassin assassins from all over the world to kill him, but he didn't understand why the other party would do this.
The assassin leader Sabah, who looked at Duke Leo with a pair of cold eyes, never said a word. After a moment, he suddenly withdrew the short knife in front of him and said coldly: "Then give me a
Reason not to kill you."
Watching the other party retract the knife in his hand, Leosgros did not feel relaxed at all, because the other party's murderous intention was still without any pretense, but he still forced himself to calm down and replied calmly: "If you kill me,
I think you should be prepared that no one can leave here alive. Just imagine, if something happens to me, do you have any other place to stay?" At this point, the man's words suddenly turned tough.
.
However, this did not make the Assassin assassin leader in front of him flinch at all. The murderous aura exuding from Sabah suddenly became more intense, which also made the unprepared Leosgros feel a little frightened. (Unfinished)
