Chapter 16 Assassin Peter

Tianyi squatted under a bookshelf in the bookstore, looking for something in a cabinet filled with miscellaneous items.

He should be the only one in the bookstore at this moment, but he suddenly spoke: "You are a little capable."

A black shadow stood behind Tianyi at some point, "Do you have eyes behind you?" The visitor was very confident in his secret actions, so he wanted to hear Tianyi explain how he discovered himself.

Tian Yixiao said, "Even if I don't have eyes, I can know that you are approaching." When he answered, he happened to find what he wanted and stood up in his hand.

Seeing that Tianyi was holding a long object, the other party reacted quickly, and immediately raised his hand. A sleeve sword poked out from the cuff and pressed against Tianyi's neck: "Don't move around."

"Look clearly, this is not a weapon." The sharp blade was standing behind the neck, and Tianyi was still listless and looked leisurely: "Can you put away the sword and let me sit and talk?" He paused, turned his face, looked at the other person's eyes, and called out the other person's name: "Mr. Pietro."

Seeing this oriental face, Pietro was slightly stunned and responded: "How do you know my name?"

"Ha... why can't I know." Tianyi gently pushed away the other party's sleeve sword with two fingers and walked towards his seat: "You think you are a top assassin, with anonymous name, a hidden whereabouts, and a neat job. But I think you are just between second-rate and first-rate, and you can't be top-notch at all."

"Hmph... Don't you think you should be careful when your life is threatened?" Pietro was still very confident at this time. He believed that just by raising his hand, he could harvest the life of the person in front of him.

Tianyi yawned, and the expression on his face seemed to mock him: "Friend, your threat is so powerful, I'm so scared that I'm almost asleep."

"Mr. Pietro, I know you have been following Count Boger for a day or two, so you should have noticed that this bookstore is a bit unique," said Tianyi.

Pietro replied, "You are indeed a wizard, are you?"

The night before yesterday, Pietro secretly followed the count as usual, and saw him entering the bookstore. He then surveilled all the way and witnessed the count going to rescue an injured young man. Later, the count returned to the bookstore. So far, Pietro didn't see any name, but after a long time, he felt something was wrong. Why did the bookstore lock the door and Jue didn't come out? Is there a secret passage inside? My stalking was discovered?

Thinking of this, Pietro became more and more uneasy. He monitored all night and did not see the count coming out at dawn. So he found a child, gave the child a few rewards, and asked him to see him for himself. This kind of street wanderer, who was more skilled than a monkey, walked around the bookstore for a few times and found that there was only one window facing the street except for the main gate. So he climbed up the windowsill, crawled in and looked around, and soon ran back to Pietro and told him that it was an empty house.

At first, Pietro didn't believe it, thinking that the child was lying, so he took the risk to confirm it himself, but the house was really empty and there was nothing but the broken walls on all sides. Pietro looked around again and was sure that there was a bookstore here. I heard that the owner was a mysterious foreigner, but no one knew the specific situation of the store. In fact, not many people were visiting.

But why did the room become empty overnight? Haunted? Witchcraft? The man who licked blood from the knife also had something taboo. Pietro only felt nervous, but he remained calm and went to the count's residence the next afternoon to see if the count was back. Unexpectedly, he happened to find out that the count walked out of the residence alone.

After following along the way, the count went to the chimney bar first, and then went to Tianyi's bookstore. The bookstore was still the same bookstore, but the location was in another corner of the city of Rome! At this point, Pietro's brain was short-circuited, because this was a strange thing that could not be explained by common sense, so he decided to come directly to the owner of this bookstore today to seek a reasonable answer.

Tianyi heard the other party’s question and smiled and replied, “What do you think I am? That’s your freedom. I also know that you want to understand why the bookstore disappeared from one place and appeared from another place. But I don’t think there is any need to answer at all. Even if I explain it to you, you may not be able to understand.”

As Tianyi said, he took the thing he had just taken out. It was a black jade piece that looked like a flute.

"For example, this thing - the snake flute. If I tell you that using the power of this thing, you can dig a tunnel and lead to the end of the world, can you imagine its principle?"

Peter said after hearing this: "Well, wizard, it seems you want to show that you are a powerful character." He really didn't plan to continue asking these supernatural phenomena: "Then, tell me a reason not to kill you."

Tianyi sneered: "You want to kill me because you think I am helping Count Boger, but I want to ask you a question, why do you want to track down the Count?"

"Of course it's for the secret hidden behind him." Pietro said: "Actually, I have basically guessed that the so-called secret is probably the treasure left by the Templar. Mr. Wizard, if you are aware of the knowledge and tell me some information about the treasure, maybe I will consider spareing your life."

Tianyi would not give the other party the initiative to guide the conversation at all. He replied: "Is that true, for the sake of treasure... But as far as I know, you will take the assassin's path because of the hatred of the Templars, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, so you responded to Philip IV's secret wanted."

"No matter what trick you are playing..." Pietro's expression became more and more unkind: "My patience is limited!"

"I am forgiving, even if you kill the Count, you will not be able to eliminate that hatred." Tianyi's brainwashing began again: "In this world, there are many people who bear hatred like you, such as the Templars, the Holy See, kings, nobles, chaebols, street villains, saints, bandits, pirates... What do you think your meager power can change? One day you will grow old, your sword blade is no longer sharp and your skills are no longer agile, but people are still suffering, and on the day you die, including after death, it will always be like this."

"What the hell do you want to say..." Peter said.

Tianyi curled the corner of his mouth, and he was waiting for this question: "I just want to make a deal with you."
