Creed of the heavens

After being brought into this world by the system, Lu Xiao's views on beliefs or beliefs began to change subtly.

Not only was this Templar knight who exerted 120 strength by relying on the power of faith, Lu Xiao could also feel the firm belief from him in the contact with Mario.

In order to achieve the belief of the Brotherhood, Mario can let go of the management of the family territory, and devote himself to the cause of the Assassin Brotherhood. For decades, he has never slacked off.

Giovanni obviously has a social status and wealth that most people can't imagine, but he still does not forget his original intention and resolutely fulfills the duties of the Brotherhood. As the leader of the assassins in Florence, he often breaks into the enemy's camp with his own life.

According to the records of the Brotherhood, Giovanni tried his best to prevent the plot of the Templars in the event that Florence's ally, the Duke of Milan, Galeazzo Maria Sforza, was assassinated by the Templars.

Although it failed in the end, it also led to a series of black hands behind the incident, and pointed out to the Brotherhood the identity of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, the contemporary supreme master of the Knights Templar.

As a banker with considerable wealth and respectable social status, Giovanni did not have to continue to be on the front line of the assassin's dangerous cause.

The power of faith drove the Auditore brothers to continue to fight for the cause of the Italian Brotherhood, and they would not stop until the moment their lives stopped.

All kinds of cases that he had heard and seen inevitably had a certain impact on Lu Xiao's outlook on life, and he began to rethink the power of belief.

Is the reason why my spirit attribute in the system panel is so low, is it because I have not established a firm belief?

The fragments of Altai's codex were successfully recovered, and some members were left to clean up the mess at the scene. Giovanni and Lu Xiao, covered in blood, returned to the Auditore mansion through the roof route again without anyone noticing.

According to Giovanni and Mario, every fragment of Altaïr's Codex is encrypted.

After years of research on Altaïr's past deeds, Giovanni finally found a way to decipher the codex, and every page of the Codex posted in the Auditore estate in Monteriggioni has been deciphered by Giovanni.

Although the number of pages of the Codex is still very small and the deciphered parts are fragmented, Giovanni and Mario can still see some clues from the part of the Codex that has been declassified.

"Altaïr's codex secret is divided into two parts."

Giovanni skillfully completed the decryption, and handed the translated part to Lu Xiao to watch.

"Part of it is the application of knowledge and life insights he has learned from the Apple of Eden all his life, including various ways to improve the Hidden Blade, and some weapon designs that transcend the times."

"This page is about something purely theoretical, describing Altaïr's speculation about the origin of the Golden Apple, and his first guess about the creation of the Pieces of Eden."

"First Ming"

Lu Xiao said thoughtfully: "I heard about their deeds when I was in the Ming Dynasty in the east. According to the records left in the ancient ruins, we call the forerunners of the first Ming Dynasty the Isu people."

Giovanni nodded in agreement and said, "We have also received similar information, but the Brotherhood still doesn't know why they made these artifacts of Eden, and why they preserved them for future generations?"

"Too far away, let's get back to the topic." Giovanni clicked on the original page: "In addition to the decrypted content, the pages of the Codex itself also hide some secrets that are difficult to discover. can be observed.”

"It was mentioned in Mario's letter that you also inherited the ability of eagle vision. You should be able to see those strange graphics on the pages of the book, right?"

amount

The corner of Lu Xiao's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he could only bite the bullet and forcefully answer the conversation relying on the information he obtained from the game: "Yes, I found out about it in the Auditore Manor in Monteriggioni, these Graphics, like a map?"

"Yes."

Giovanni sighed, leaned back on the chair and rubbed the space between his brows wearily.

"Mario and I speculate that the map secretly recorded in the Codex should be deciphered by Altaïr from the golden apple, and the purpose is temporarily unknown."

"If all the pages of the book can be collected, it may help us to unearth more ancient artifacts, understand the truth about the destruction of the First Ming, and their true intentions of leaving these artifacts that record knowledge, and better guide the people to pursue freedom. will, and practice the Assassin's Creed passed down by our ancestors."

"Unfortunately, after many years of hard work, Mario and I have only recovered a few pages, and more codexes are still buried in various parts of Italy."

Giovanni frowned and said: "From the perspective of intelligence collection, the Templars who are blatantly in high positions are indeed more efficient than the assassins who hide in the dark."

"Many of the pages we collected were snatched from the Templars. I suspect they have more pages and stored them all over Italy. It's just that the Templars don't have Altaïr's decryption method, so they can't decipher them. What's on the page."

The blood descendants of the Forerunners are not concentrated only in the Assassin Brotherhood.

As Lu Xiao knew, the Templars and the Assassins were just two organizations with different concepts, and there were many descendants of the pioneers with eagle vision in the two organizations.

The graphics that the Brotherhood could see from the Codex could also be seen by someone inside the Templars.

The two sides now each have a part of the Codex, and more parts are buried in various places in Italy. No one can completely piece together the entire map.

Apart from secular disputes over power and influence, the battle between the Italian Brotherhood and the Knights Templar was now centered on Altaïr's pages.

Lu Xiao, who was driving the Prophet, knew exactly what was recorded in the pieced together map.

Altaïr recorded all the burial locations of the Pieces of Eden obtained from the Golden Apple, and the entire Codex had to be assembled in order to liberate the entire three-dimensional map left in the Codex by using the Forerunner technology.

Giovanni stretched out his hands and squeezed his legs, and said to Lu Xiao with a wry smile: "Time is not forgiving. Although I haven't relaxed my physical training, the heavy banker work still involves too much energy after all."

"My physical fitness is no longer comparable to the peak period when I was young, and I may soon retire from the front line. The future of the fraternity still depends on you young people."

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows, and asked jokingly, "For example, Ezio?"

"Ha ha!"

Giovanni shook his head and laughed: "That kid is still very young. When he can settle down his frivolous character, I will really start to concentrate on cultivating him."

"Before that, I will assign more tasks to you and Federico."

Giovanni said somewhat dumbfoundingly: "As you can see, that child's personality is a bit lazy, not as mature and prudent as you, and I'm afraid I will have to trouble you more in the future."

Lu Xiao was a little speechless, is she calling me old in disguise?I am only 25 years old, which is the golden age of young people. Although I am a little older than the young Ezio and Federico.

Chapter 14 Side Quests and Hairline Crisis

After deciphering by Giovanni, the newly obtained pages of the Codex will be sent back to Monteriggioni through secret channels as usual, and kept in the study of the Auditore Manor.

Giovanni entrusted Lu Xiao and Federico to carry out this task together, which happened to let Lu Xiao get acquainted with the city structure of Florence and the intelligence flow channels of the Brotherhood.

When Lu Xiao picked up the original letter from the desktop, the system that had been out of response for a long time suddenly spoke in his head.

"The side mission triggers the collection of Altaïr's Codex."

"Reward: A chance to draw prizes above the world's excellence level or a self-selected excellent level reward."

The sudden release of the task made Lu Xiao pause for a moment. Giovanni noticed his abnormal behavior and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong? Is there anything else I don't understand?"

Lu Xiao remained unchanged, pretending to be calm and replied: "No, I just suddenly remembered something from the past."

Giovanni nodded understandingly: "The deceased is gone, please mourn, what you need to do now is to accumulate more knowledge and skills, and make all preparations for returning to your hometown for revenge in the future."

Giovanni's unauthorized brain supplement made Lu Xiao a little speechless, but he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and nodded with a heavy expression to express his gratitude, skipping this topic and not discussing it again.

Giovanni did not stare at other people's sore spots uninterestedly and continued to ask questions. Just at this time, there was a hustle and bustle from outside the courtyard of the mansion, and the two turned their attention to the outside of the study at the same time.

Ezio and Federico are joking with each other in the atrium, and the two are still discussing a passer-by beauty they hit up before.

Petruccio followed the two brothers with a quiet smile as always, while Claudia rolled her eyes at the two flirtatious brothers with a look of contempt.
