Creed of the heavens

The system didn't intend to tell him the specific time of Lu Xiao's crossing. After the release of the world mission, it fell into complete silence. Without giving any reminder, Lu Xiao could only explore the world by himself.

As the sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, Lu Xiao, who was standing in a daze in the wheat field, began to feel the summer temperature.

Fortunately, there was a cool breeze blowing from time to time on this unknown plain where a large amount of wheat was planted, so Lu Xiao did not suffer too much suffering in the process of leaving the wheat field for the distant castle.

As she gradually approached the small castle built on the hill, the bright sunlight was blocked by the towering city walls, and Lu Xiao also began to see some sparse passers-by on the dirt road.

These pedestrians, who can be seen as farmers at a glance, wear dirty and simple clothes, and it is difficult to tell the exact era from their clothes.

However, judging from their chattering chatter and the surprised and defensive eyes they looked at her, Lu Xiao got some basic information.

Latin, like Italian?And this kind of surprised reaction from people who have never seen the East, and this primitive and muddy loess road can at least be sure that it is not modern.

Speaking of Italy, Lu Xiao had a certain degree of certainty about the timeline of Assassin's Creed he traveled through, but there was a very real problem that followed.

How do I communicate with these locals?

Lu Xiao's troubles didn't last long. A small group of knights galloped from afar, riding their horses and kicking up dust. A few pedestrians on the road hurriedly and respectfully moved aside.

"Sorry!"

The neighing of the horse awakened Lu Xiao, who was in deep thought. Five knights in different clothes held weapons tightly in their hands and surrounded him in a vigilant attitude.

Lu Xiao watched the corners of the mouths of these burly men with bad attitudes twitch, and tried to communicate in the only foreign language he had learned in his 25 years of life: "Eh Heo?"

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao was escorted into the city wall by five knights who could not understand the language with a depressed expression.

The small castle has a small number of residents. Based on the rough calculation of the number of houses, there are probably less than 1000 people living in this city.

As soon as he entered the main road of the city, Lu Xiao saw the dilapidated manor above the stairs at the end of the road by virtue of his clairvoyance.

The most eye-catching thing is not the manor itself, but the carved decoration attached to the small fountain facing the avenue.

Although the exquisite carvings concealed it to a certain extent, Lu Xiao, who had already had preconceived ideas in her heart, could see the information hidden in the fountain carvings at a glance.

It was an irregular triangle, with a sharp upper part and a relatively rounded curved line in the lower part.

Assassin logo.

Sure enough, I traveled through the timeline of Assassin's Creed 2, which is Monteriggioni, the territory of the Auditore family.

Although the manor above the steps looked desolate and dilapidated, with a large number of green creepers hanging on the walls of the manor, the overall appearance was still very conspicuous. This was the Auditore Manor in Lu Xiao's memory.

The crisp sound of metal clashing came from above the stairs, and a strong middle-aged man dressed in ancient European aristocratic costumes was fighting with several armed men in the small square in front of the manor.

When five knights escorted Lu Xiao to the front of the square, the aristocratic man was still able to handle with ease under the attack of many people.

"clang!"

The long sword blocked the broad-bladed ax of one of the opponents, and the nobleman turned the long sword cleverly to relieve the opponent's strength, and cut at the opponent's neck at a strange angle.

The long sword paused by the armed man's neck for a moment, and the ax-wielding burly man, who knew he was out of the game, withdrew from the battle circle knowingly. All opponents were defeated one by one.

"call"

The middle-aged noble with his sword drawn back stood on the spot and adjusted his breathing.

Finally finding a chance to speak, the leading escort knight reported the situation to the panting noble man in Italian, which Lu Xiao could not understand.

As the noble who seemed to be the lord turned around, Lu Xiao finally saw his true face clearly.

This strong nobleman has a majestic face with Chinese characters. His left eye seems to have been blinded long ago. There is no light in the opened eye pupil, and a hideous scar runs through the eye from top to bottom.

Such eye-catching features allowed Lu Xiao to grasp the identity of this person in his heart. Mario Auditore, the brother of the banker Giovanni, uncle of the old pervert, and the contemporary leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins.

In the world view of Assassin's Creed, the dispute between the two major organizations of Assassins and Templars runs through.

Lu Xiao's mission is to collect the Pieces of Eden, and most of the Pieces of Eden, or information related to them, are under the control of the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar.

To obtain the Pieces of Eden, the intelligence networks of the two organizations are indispensable, the only difference is which side to join.

In the past games of Assassin’s Creed, the role played by the player is an assassin most of the time. Many people have a great affinity for assassins, and they have a deep prejudice against the Templars, who are the villains of the game.

But in Lu Xiao's view, the Assassins and the Templars only have conflicting ideas on how to guide the people, and there is no difference in the purpose of the two.

Assassins advocate the liberation of human nature, and stimulate the development of new ideas and infinite creativity of human beings with free will.

The Templars hope to exercise ruling power in the name of order, guide and enlighten mankind, and establish a utopian peaceful world completely under their control.

Freedom and order, the concepts between the two are irreconcilable. Since the distant ancient times, the two sides have started an endless conflict, and even continued to the modern world of Assassin's Creed.

From Lu Xiao's personal point of view, there is no absolute right or wrong in the concepts of Templars and Assassins, and it is not conducive to the development of human civilization for either side to achieve complete victory.

Neither absolute freedom nor absolute order is good for the world process.

The secret struggle between the two sides has promoted the change of the times to a certain extent, and this state of confrontation between the two heroes is the most suitable for the world.

However, in the timeline of Assassin's Creed 2, the Assassin Brotherhood is a better choice than the Templars who have deteriorated internally.

The Grand Master, who controls the authority of the Templar Knights, has gone the wrong way. His heart has been corrupted by the great power, and he has deviated from the original philosophy of the Templar Knights.

Excluding the choice of the Templars, the key to Lu Xiao's completion of the mission will fall on the Brotherhood of Assassins.

It just so happened that the one-eyed aristocratic man in front of him was the leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. As long as he could be persuaded, Lu Xiao would be able to gain access to the huge intelligence network of the Brotherhood of Assassins and the opportunity to learn about the Pieces of Eden scattered all over the world.

So here comes the question, how do I convince Mario to trust me and invite me to join the fraternity despite the language barrier?

Mario looked at Lu Xiao with his only remaining right eye for a while, then suddenly pointed to his chest, and asked a question in a slightly questioning tone.

"Ok?"

Lu Xiao, who couldn't understand Italian, followed Mario's fingers and bowed her head. She was surprised to find a silver necklace hanging on her chest. The pendant of the necklace was engraved with a striking symbol of the Brotherhood of Assassins.

amount

Lu Xiao's brain froze for a moment before recalling the prompt given by the system before.

So that's it, is this the only novice benefit that the system said.

Chapter 3, the first badge at the beginning, the content depends entirely on editing

Now that the system has arranged the identities, the next question is how to cross the language barrier and complete the handover with Mario.

Lu Xiao was stunned for a while by Mario's tongue-like Italian pronunciation, he had no idea what the other party was talking about.

As the leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, Mario noticed Lu Xiao's confusion and embarrassment with his extraordinary insight.

He deliberately slowed down his speech, and tried to communicate with Lu Xiao in many different languages.
