Sargon?

Why am I in Sargon?

Zhou Jinru's memory lingered on his conversation with defender No. 004. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in Sargon, still wearing thick winter clothes, which were traces of Londinium in 1080.

The young man in front of him had a frightened expression on his face, and Zhou Jinru realized that there might be something wrong with his face.

Before he could think too much, he reached out and tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. He looked no different from a Sargonian.

When the men in black who were chasing the young man saw someone intercepting them, they made a decisive decision and retreated. In the blink of an eye, they were gone without a trace.

"how so?!"

In the young man's eyes, the person who tried to kill him was frightened away by the disfigured mysterious man in front of him, and he couldn't help but begin to guess his identity.

Zhou Jinru was very confused. He set out from Sargon and now returned to Sargon. Could it be that he has reached reality?

"What's this place called?"

The young man said truthfully: "Baisha Settlement."

An unfamiliar place name.

Zhou Jinru asked again: "How far is it from Talaat?"

"What did you say?"

The young man got up from the ground, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

"Talaat, the famous oasis city in the Sargon wilderness."

"I've never heard of it," the young man looked at the mysterious man with strange eyes, "I don't know where the oasis city you mentioned is, but if you want a person named Talaat, I will be Talaat."

Talaat, pasha, no oasis city of Talaat…

A ridiculous thought came to Zhou Jinru's heart. Could it be that he had deviated from his original trajectory and came to Sargon a hundred years ago?!

"What era is it now?"

"In the year 996, I am leaving. You come with me and agree to pay you gold. I will keep my promise."

Talaat is an honest and trustworthy man, he always has been, and now that this eccentric man has saved him, he should be accounted for.

Zhou Jinru was shocked from the bottom of his heart. He actually arrived a hundred years ago!

When he tried to activate the defender's power, he found that the energy was dry and could not be used normally.

"Is it a side effect of my excessive use of light form in Vina's dream?"

When Talat saw that the man didn't move, he thought he didn't agree to go with him, so he felt a little disappointed.

Zhou Jinru had no better way at this time. He was sure that he would not be able to find any help because the people he knew were either not born yet or did not know him at all.

Except for the old woman Kelsey, no one knew where she was, and naturally no one would place their hopes on the elusive big lynx.

"Okay, I'll go with you, remember to give me the gold."

First, Zhou Jinru was penniless and needed money.

Secondly, it was also to reassure the young pasha that he wanted something instead of seeking more.

Hearing these words, Talaat felt relieved. If the other party didn't want the gold, he would wonder if he had just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

The two people stayed on the quiet roadside for a while, and then embarked on the road to leave together. On the way, Zhou Jinru had a general understanding of Talaat's current situation.

The young pasha obtained a territory, and he also had 800 people and a small number of guards. The problem was that he had to pass through the areas controlled by several strange princes. It was inevitable that someone would use their brains.

"I came to attend the local royal chief's banquet today, and I only brought three guards with me. I thought it was nothing serious, but I didn't expect that I was attacked."

From Talaat's annoyed expression, it can be seen that the fate of the three guards was not good.

The area of ​​Sargon once had a very powerful empire, but due to the vast territory and the conflicts between the various tribes, it eventually fell apart and became what it is now.

There was no harmony among the pashas, ​​let alone the princes and chiefs below.

Therefore, it was normal for Talaat to be attacked. The question was why he went deep into danger with only three guards and almost died in the end.

The answer to this question is a bit difficult to tell. Talat didn't want to say it, and Zhou Jinru didn't ask. The two of them met for less than half an hour, so there was no need to talk in such depth.

But one thing is clear, Talat has a token in his hand that symbolizes the pasha, a legal document that can prove his legal status and the legitimacy of his territory.

I'm afraid the people who attacked him were also interested in this.

After all, eight hundred citizens are nothing, as long as you think about it, you can easily get them.

The heads of Tallaght are worth much more than these.

Returning to the temporary camp, a powerful Safra man immediately rushed over and said loudly: "Pasha, why did you come back so late? Where is your guard? Could it be..."

"Don't worry, Captain Camp Guard. Although it's a bit dangerous, I'm back and the result is good."

While comforting the captain of the guard, Talat pointed at Zhou Jinru not far away and praised: "Thanks to this warrior, he saved me. Now he is our friend. Get him a set of less conspicuous clothes."

, and a mask, and he needs food and a place to rest."

There had just been an attack and the place was no longer safe. Kemp originally wanted to persuade the Pasha to leave immediately, but Talat had no intention of leaving.

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but take another look at the young pasha, because staying now is the best choice. He can't leave his back to the enemy at any time. Moreover, he is a pasha, the supreme ruler of the region, how can he be subordinated?

Did the royal chief scare away?

It looks like there is something good to watch.

Zhou Jinru collected his thoughts and left with Captain Kemp. He lived alone in a tent. Not long after, the captain personally delivered some food and a set of clothes.

"I want a mirror."

After receiving such a request, Kemp was confused, but he still found a small mirror.

Zhou Jinru was the only one left in the tent. He looked at himself in the mirror quietly, his whole face melted, like a villain from a horror movie. Not only that, but also every part of his body was different.

Degree of ulceration.

"It should be caused by the overload of the light form. My body cannot withstand such a terrible force. What No. 014 said before is correct. Burning life force will gain more powerful power, so powerful that even I can't control it."

Zhou Jinru put on the mask silently. He could not see anyone with a straight face at all. Only a big-hearted person like Talaat was not intimidated.

After the self-examination, sit on the edge of the low bed and eat, feeling the dried up defender energy in your body.

Without the light form, the hole cannot be opened, and there is no way to return to his timeline.

In other words, he was trapped a hundred years ago.

"Just take it one step at a time."

After eating, Zhou Jinru lay on the bed, soothing his tense body. He didn't know how long it had been before he was woken up by a miserable cry.

what happened?

He stood up and opened a corner of the tent. It was dimly lit outside, and he could barely see anything.

Many guards gathered in the camp, everyone holding torches and surrounding them.

Among the crowd, Talaat was kneeling on the ground. In front of him were three corpses. They should all be the bodyguards he brought to the banquet.

The young pasha burst into tears and cried: "Your Excellency, they were all sent by my father to protect me, and they died like this. I am sorry for my father!"

His cry was so loud that the listeners were saddened and the listeners shed tears.

A middle-aged man standing opposite looked embarrassed. How could a pasha cry for his subordinates like this? It was as if he was slapping him in the face with the sole of his shoe. Moreover, such a rollicking behavior was neither persuasive nor persuasive.

.

"Lord Pasha, take care of yourself."

Talaat cried half way through, seemed to be tired, and asked with sobs: "The weather is too hot, I can't take their bodies away, so..."

"I will take responsibility. They are all heroes. They have made great contributions to protecting Lord Pasha. They must be buried well!"

The young pasha nodded: "This makes me feel relieved. Your Excellency, three of my guards were killed. It's too unsafe here. I didn't expect that there were robbers near your mansion. Can you sleep well? He died yesterday."

They are my guards. Maybe they will break into your bedroom tomorrow. I am also very worried about you."

Not to mention how disgusted the king was, he slapped the left cheek and continued to slap the right cheek. He could only move his face towards the young pasha to slap him.

The only thing to blame is that I failed to kill this kid last night!

"You are right in your lesson. I really didn't expect the bandits to be so bold. I will send people to suppress the bandits immediately. For the safety of the people, I will do my best to suppress the bandits!"

There are so many bandits in the Sargon Wilderness that no matter how hard we try to suppress them, we can't wipe them all out, but we still have to say something. After all, the young pasha is also a pasha. With his status here, he can only recognize it by pinching his nose.

Zhou Jinru next to him watched with great interest. Talat Pasha was not that easy to fool. The royal chiefs here really underestimated him.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Talat patted his clothes and stood up. Regardless of the tears on his face, he said calmly: "Your Excellency, your Majesty, my subjects and I are planning to set off today. There will be no more robbers on the road."

?”

"No, of course not. If you are worried, I will send a team of guards to protect your safety!"

Talaat looked at the royal chief with doubtful eyes: "If your army goes to suppress bandits, do you still have the energy left to do other things?"

The prince opened his mouth, but he didn't say the last half of the sentence and walked away in dejection.

Everyone dispersed and began to prepare for departure. Zhou Jinru, who was idle, was discovered by the sharp-eyed young Pasha.
