Creed of the heavens

In a panic, Vieri, not forgetting the education he had received since he was a child, pulled out the gorgeous long sword at his waist and issued an order: "Archers shoot!"

Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, the gray-robed man did not stay where he was, and gave up the iron can in front of him and hid again in the shadow of the building.

The Templar captain staggered and took two steps backwards, finally unable to maintain his body's center of gravity, and his body wearing heavy armor crashed to the ground.

A Templar beside Vieri hastily stepped forward to check, and found that the heavy armored captain's neck armor was pierced through a tiny opening, and the blood gushing from the neck artery had spread from the armor, apparently Hopeless.

"Damn assassin!"

Vieri also noticed the tragic situation of the highest-ranking Templar captain, he gritted his teeth and swung the long sword in his hand indiscriminately.

"Find it quickly! I want to get the exact number of assassins who invaded the mansion in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes!"

Some people were left to protect Vieri, while the other Templars dispersed in an orderly manner to search the mansion.

More shocking corpses appeared in front of their eyes. Most of the corpses had only very small wounds, but the location of these wounds was very fatal, which directly led to their deaths.

"call"

Relying on the stupid order to divide the troops issued by the pig-like opponent, Lu Xiao, who had just exercised vigorously, sneaked into the weakly defended mansion.

After forcefully using the Hidden Blade through the armor many times in a row, Lu Xiao could feel that the Hidden Blade on the right hand side began to become blunt.

Although it was a little different from the original plan, he managed to sneak into the mansion smoothly.

Given Vieri's personality, the manuscripts were probably placed in the master bedroom of the mansion for his own safekeeping.

Lu Xiao quietly bypassed the Templars who were searching for her whereabouts, and took advantage of Vieri's nervousness and unable to think calmly, quietly slipped into his bedroom through the window on the other side.

bingo

Carefully opened the small box on the table with the Hidden Blade, and the encrypted book pages stored inside proved that it was Altaïr's Codex.

Taking out the letter from the box and putting it into the secret pocket on his chest, Lu Xiao closed the lid again, quietly exited the room from the original path, and closed the window for Vieri intimately.

It wasn't that Lu Xiao didn't want to take this opportunity to kill Vieri, but this coward who was afraid of death was accompanied by nearly ten Templar guards.

When the enemy was on high alert, it was difficult for Lu Xiao to kill all the guards around Vieri quickly by surprise, but it was easy for him to fall into the quagmire.

Even in the tense task state, Lu Xiao still maintained enough calmness. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he immediately decided to evacuate.

"Uh!"

He rushed out from the shadow of the building, covered the mouth of a Templar knight blocking the way from behind, and stabbed the Hidden Blade with his left hand in good condition from the back of his neck.

The templar knight couldn't scream, and only let out a muffled grunt under Lu Xiao's restraint.

Dragging the corpse into the shadows to hide, Lu Xiao quickly climbed up the wall and jumped outside the mansion.

"there!"

Someone found Lu Xiao climbing up the wall, but when the archer shot the arrow, Lu Xiao had already landed on the other side of the house, and disappeared into the market stalls with complex terrain in two or three steps.

Seeing the fleeing figure of the other party, Vieri finally woke up from the hot-blooded state, his heart felt cold, and he hurried back to his room to check the situation.

Seeing that the box on the table was safe and sound, Vieri relaxed his nervousness, but when he opened the box for further inspection, the blood pressure of the heir to the Patch family was once again full.

"Chase! Chase me! You must get back the stolen notebook!"

At this time, it was too late to issue the pursuit order belatedly. Lu Xiao, who had repeatedly surveyed the surrounding terrain, quickly left the market, climbed to the roof again and fled quickly, and returned to Auditore's house in just a quarter of an hour. Mansion.

"call"

Putting down the hood that was soaked in blood, Lu Xiao began to calm down the shortness of breath caused by the long-term high-speed running.

The system just sent out a new prompt at this time: "The random mission is completed, sneak into the Templar stronghold to take the handbook, and reward a lucky draw opportunity for an excellent level in this world."

Oh?

"crunch"

Before Lu Xiao could check the reward, one of the doors of Auditore's mansion opened quietly, and a sneaky shadow came out of the room with his waist bent, and happened to meet Lu Xiao who was resting in the atrium.

The two people who looked at each other saw each other's face clearly with the help of the faint moonlight, Lu Xiao looked at Ezio in front of him a little speechlessly: "Where are you going to slip away at this time? Isn't Madam Maria's education not strict enough? "

Ezio also looked in surprise at the large traces of blood dotted on Lu Xiao's gray robe: "Lu, what are you?"

"Looks like it's time."

Giovanni, who had been autistic for many days, stepped out of the shadows and looked at Ezio with a serious expression.

"You two come with me, this is not a place to talk, don't wake Petruccio and Claudia."

Chapter 25 Boot Blade

The bewildered Ezio followed Giovanni with Lu Xiao in amazement, watching his father activate the mechanism hidden in the study and descend down a staircase to the basement of the mansion.

After Giovanni lit the lights in the room, Ezio looked at the furnishings in the basement in astonishment. He lived in the Auditore mansion in Florence for more than ten years and never knew that there was such a secret room in the basement of his house.

Ignoring the surprised Ezio for the time being, Giovanni turned his gaze to Lu Xiao, and glanced at the bloodstains on his assassin's clothes.

"Lu, have you sneaked into the Patch family's market stronghold alone?"

"Ah."

Lu Xiao took out the page of the manuscript from her arms and handed it to Giovanni: "Fortunately, the rookie Vieri is in charge of guarding. If it were an experienced general, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for me to succeed."

"Vieri?"

Ezio couldn't bear the loneliness and interjected from the sidelines. He asked with a confused look: "What are you talking about? Infiltrating the stronghold? What's the matter with the red marks on Lu Xiao's body? Are they all blood? "

Giovanni raised his hand to stop the second son's [-] questions: "Calm down, Ezio, I will explain to you in detail later, please keep quiet now."

Giovanni lowered his head and looked at the pages of the handwritten letter that was still warm in his hand. Giovanni sighed softly: "I didn't expect that our understanding of the creed is not as good as you, a newcomer who just joined. This adventure has worked hard for you."

"However, I have something to ask you."

Giovanni looked at Lu Xiao seriously: "What do you think of Altaïr's doubts? Do you also think that there is an inseparable contradiction between the creed we have adhered to for many years and the reality?"

"Yeah." Lu Xiao scratched his head: "Mr. Giovanni, my opinion may be a bit deviant to you veteran assassins."

"In my opinion, the most fundamental purpose of the Templars and the Assassins is to guide mankind to continue to progress. The only difference is that we and the Templars want to adopt different methods."

"Assassins pursue free will and innovative ideas. I call this style of behavior chaos, while Temple Knights advocate using power to control people's hearts. I call it order."

"Order and chaos, this world cannot do without either."
