No matter how brave you are, you have to kneel-Author

Walking into the shortcut was the same as last time. At the beginning, they walked into a dense forest. After walking for a while, it suddenly became clear that a narrow path entered the eyes of the two of them.

"I can't believe that there is such a road here." Altaïr sighed while riding on horseback.

"Well, I also found this place by accident."

"It seems that the road here has been walked before."

Altaïr discovered many footprints in the ground.

"That's what Robert was doing here that day, I don't know what he was doing."

But now that Robert's threat has disappeared, it's time to return to Masiaf as soon as possible.

After spending about 10 hours in the forest, the two left through the exit on the other side.

This crossing directly saved about half a day. It would have taken a day and a half to rush from Jerusalem to Acre.

"Next there is a path that can be crossed. It is the path that local hunters often walk. It is different from the place just now. The terrain is a bit rough." Gao Long meant that horses cannot be ridden there. , can only lead the horse.

"Anyway, it's up to you to lead the way now." Altaïr laughed.

Because it was still a long journey, the two changed horses again in Acre City.

On the road again, through the trail, the big forest is not far away.

It took several hours directly, and when the sky was completely dark, we came to the vicinity of the forest.

Just find a place that looks relatively safe, and rest here.

It took a total of two days to get here from Arsuf. It originally took four days, but now it has been shortened by half.

There are no shortcuts on the next road, and it will take another 5 days to return to Masyaf from this forest.

For the past five days, in order to save time, he kept changing horses from places where he could change horses to a strong horse, and then continued on. Altaïr was naturally very familiar with this area, and knew where to get a horse.

So it took the two of them four and a half days to reach Masyaf's village.

But the strange thing is that even the guard at the door is gone.

I saw one after another the villagers went up the mountain and headed for the fort above.

Gao Long grabbed a villager and asked, "What happened? Where did everyone go?"

The villager looked devout, "They all went to see the master."

After hearing the news, Altaïr quickly asked, "Is it because of the Templars? Are they attacking again?"

"The path he took." The villager said something unclear.

"What way? What are you talking about?" Altaïr was also confused at this time.

"To the light."

"Speak clearly!" Altaïr was a little annoyed at this moment.

"Only what the master shows us is the truth." The villagers said such words inexplicably.

"You're delirious!" Altaïr thought this guy must be crazy.

"You have to go that way, or you will be wiped out. You must obey the master's order." The villagers uttered threatening words.

Gao Long suddenly thought of something, "Is it because of Al Mualim, what did he do to you?"

"Praise the master, lead us to the light." The villagers left after saying that.

"What happened here?!" Altaïr said angrily.

"I don't know, we have to go up to know the truth."

"You're right, let's go now."

The two of them ran up the mountain as they spoke. Along the way, many villagers went up, including men, women and children.

After trotting all the way, I came to the gate.

Some assassins were guarding the door and saw Altaïr and Gao Long coming.

They actually drew out their sharp swords and aimed at them, and then rushed towards the two of them like fanatical believers.

"Follow the Master's orders!"

"For the light! Kill the traitor!"

"For the master! He does not follow the path, destroy him!"

Altaïr didn't want to hurt the innocent, so he could only take Gao Long to fight and retreat.

After exiting a certain range, they still pursued closely.

"Altaïr! This way!" A familiar voice came from a distance, it was Malik, unexpectedly he was also in Masyaf now.

After the two heard about it, they quickly got rid of the assassin's pursuit and ran to Malik's side.

When Malik saw the two coming in, he quickly closed the door.

Then he led the two people away from here and came to a house on the edge of the village.

"You came just in time."

"It seems so."

"Protect yourself, friend, Al Mualim has betrayed us."

"Yes, like betraying those Templars."

Altaïr and Gao Long were also taken aback when such words came out of Malik's mouth.

"How do you know?" Robert had already heard this word a week ago, but Altaïr still didn't believe it at that time.

But now from Malik's mouth, the credibility has greatly increased.

"After you left, I immediately returned to the ruins underground of Solomon's Temple. Robert left a log there, recording the relationship between them." Malik was a little depressed as he spoke, as if thinking of his younger brother, "Look Seeing that made me sad, but it also opened my eyes to the truth. You're right, Altaïr, he's been using us all along, and we're not saving the Holy Land, we're giving it to him."

Malik raised his head as he spoke, and said five words with firm eyes, "He must be stopped!"

"Be careful, Malik. A little carelessness, he will make us like everyone else, you must keep his distance."

"What advice do you have? My blade hand is still strong, and my people are loyal, so I have to do something." It seems that Malik not only came by himself, but also brought his group of right-hand men to the meeting Masyaf.

"To attract the attention of the patrols, count the fort from behind. If you can lure them away from us, we may be able to deal with Al Mualim." Altaïr thought for a moment, then said.

Malik clicked "I'll do what you say."

Seeing that Malik was about to set off, Altaïr suddenly thought of something, "Those people we are facing are not acting on their own wishes. If possible, try not to kill them."

Malik turned his head and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, even though they betrayed our creed, it doesn't mean that we must do the same. I will do my best."

Altaïr knew that this was actually a bit of a force, "That's it, I wish you peace of mind, friend."

"You are here, you can bless us like this." After saying that, Malik left in a hurry.

"What is our plan now? How do we enter that fortress." After Malik left, Gao Long asked Altaïr.

"There are many innocent people, we must be careful not to hurt them." Altaïr seemed to be thinking about the problem. "Let's go over there."

Altaïr stood at the door and pointed to the place where Gao Long took his first leap of faith when he first came to the world of Assassin's Creed.

That is a tower, and you can return to the tower from the cliff next to it.

"Is it really okay?" Gao Long actually had some doubts about this, because it seemed that the tower was not so easy to climb.

Altaïr shrugged and said regretfully, "We have no choice, don't we?"

"Okay then, let's go." Gao Long sighed, looking like he was going to be a Spiderman.
