Chapter 1259

"why?"

Zhang Tuohai wondered why the other party showed such a look, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Absolutely can't go to Rome. Lose that thing. When we go to Rome, the only thing waiting for us is the death penalty. There is no room for us. We still have time to run. Let's go west and cross the strait to Britannia, which is the frontier of the empire. We might survive there."

"The commander of the Ninth Army stationed there is my own brother."

Sophia said.

Seeing Sophia's panicked look, Zhang Tuohai became more and more curious about what was in the box.

What on earth could make the consul's daughter panic so much that she might even be killed.

"If things are really as bad as you imagined, are you sure that your own brother will not betray you?"

"And, even so, we can't get through, because the barbarian army is to the west, and we escaped with great difficulty. If we go that way, we will run into the barbarian army head-on."

Zhang Tuohai asked tentatively.

"No..." Sophia was about to say no, but she swallowed the words halfway through.

She knew the importance of that thing better than others, if it was lost, her own brother might be the first to report her.

"Can't go to Britannia, let me think about where else I can go."

Sofia put her head in her hands.

Zhang Tuohai didn't speak, just waited quietly at the side.

After a while, Sophia suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Since we can't go west, we can go east to Byzantine Polis, which is also the border of the empire. However, it is a transportation hub and there are many heretics. We are hiding there, and it is difficult to find us. No matter how bad it is, We can hide in the land of the heathen."

At this time, the game pops up a prompt.

[The task branch appears. 】

[Main task 3: Escort Sophia to the base of the Ninth Army of Britannia. 】

【Main task three: Escort Sophia to Byzantine Polis. 】

[Main task three: Twist Sophia to Rome. 】

"This……"

Looking at the task branch, Zhang Tuohai thought deeply.

The first one must not be chosen, the barbarian army is entrenched on the road to Britannia.

In addition, there is still an unstable Ninth Army in the local area, and there are too many variables along the way.

Twisting Sophia to Rome is not a good option either.

After all, he was also a member of the escort, so if he lost something, he was also related.

After going to Rome, there may not be credit, but guilt is certain.

Especially, even the consul's daughter couldn't resist, let alone a little centurion.

After thinking about it, it seems that only going to Byzantine Polis is the best choice.

Zhang Tuohai made a decision.

"I will take you to Byzantine Polis, but there is one condition, that is, listen to my words on the way, otherwise, don't blame my ruthless men and send you back to Rome."

"No, let me do anything as long as it doesn't send me back to Rome, please, I don't want to go back to Rome."

Sophia cried.

Seeing Sophia's appearance, Zhang Tuohai became more and more sure that those boxes were not simple.

"Control your emotions, don't mess up if nothing happens."

Zhang Tuohai got out of the carriage and continued walking forward with his subordinates.

Zhang Tuohai glanced back at these subordinates, it would not be appropriate to continue leading them now.

With so many people, wherever they go is a big target. In addition, many people's mouths are not strict, and their whereabouts are easily exposed.

The best way is to kill all these people.

Absolutely keep the secret.

However, Zhang Tuohai didn't want to be so extreme. After all, these people followed him and didn't do anything excessive, and they were very dedicated.

Zhang Tuohai

Decided to find an opportunity to throw them off, and each will live in peace.

After all, it was his greatest mercy not to kill them.

In a place close to Rome, Zhang Tuohai chose a dark and windy night to take Sophia away from the main force.

"They won't betray us, will they?"

Sophia asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they don't know our whereabouts, and they can't do anything if they want to betray us."

Zhang Tuohai took Sophia all the way west along the road.

The two did not encounter any danger on the road.

Zhang Tuohai didn't even bother to do anything about the short-sighted thieves, so he just called a security guard with an umbrella and dealt with them directly.

The only problem is that the food in this world is not good, the meat is not good, and you have to go to the toilet in the open.

Zhang Tuohai was almost bitten by a snake once.

From then on, Zhang Tuohai would summon a security guard to clean up the surrounding area every time he wanted to go to the toilet.

In this way, the two came all the way to Byzantine Polis.

Although I heard Sophia tell about the majesty of Byzantine Polis more than once, when I saw it for the first time, Zhang Tuohai still marveled at its prosperity.

The towering city wall is 20 meters high, and the road leading to the city is full of caravans.

In the harbor in the distance, the masts are as dense as the forest, and the city is full of people.

Merchants from all over the place trade here with accents from all over the place.

"It seems that it is indeed a good enemy who is hiding."

Zhang Tuohai took a look at this big city. With the current means, it is really not easy to find someone in such a big city.

Just as Zhang Tuohai was about to take Sophia into Byzantine Polis, he suddenly felt the trembling of the windbreaker, guiding him towards a hill not far from the city.

Zhang Tuohai opened the windbreaker and found that those boxes were causing the trouble.

During the period, he tried to open those boxes, but he used various methods, including but not limited to, using various weapons such as crowbars, saws, hammers, and axes to open the boxes.

But in the end all ended in failure.

He had planned to wait to bring the thing back into the real world and slice it open with a chainsaw.

But now, those boxes have responded.

"Is there something on that mountain?"

Zhang Tuohai's heart skipped a beat.

Just then, a game prompt popped up.

【Main task branch】

[Main task 4: Go to the holy mountain and find the secret of the box. 】

[Main task four: Enter Byzantine Polis as if nothing happened. 】

"Of course I'll take a look."

Zhang Tuohai made a decision without even thinking about it.

If he didn't understand the secrets of these boxes, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

In particular, these boxes can actually break through the barrier of space equipment, which is enough to show that the rank of these things is definitely not low.

There might be a big gain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai turned around and walked towards the hill not far away.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Zhang Tuohai leaving directly, Sophia couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"There are things that guide me there. I'm going to have a look. You can choose to go into the city alone, or follow along."

After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he threw down a bag of money obtained from an unknown thief, and strode towards the hill.
