Creed of the heavens

Although Hulagu captured Masyaf Castle, he also suffered crazy revenge from the Assassin Brotherhood.

Years after the capture of Masyaf, he was assassinated by Nariguyi, a member of the Mongol Brotherhood, and the Assassins finally avenged the brutal ruler.

And this Naili Guyi was the most valued apprentice of Gao Qulan who assassinated Genghis Khan back then.

"It was decades after Hulagu's death that we regained the news that the Holy Sword somehow fell into the hands of Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar at the time."

"With the assistance of King Philip IV of France, the Brotherhood broke through the Temple Tower, the headquarters of the Templars in Paris, but they were unable to find the whereabouts of the Sword of Eden."

Lu Xiao, who has played the first game of the Great Revolution, is quite clear about this period of history. The holy sword was hidden in the underground chamber of the temple tower by Jacques de Molay's deputy. It was not obtained by Joan of Arc until the Hundred Years War between England and France.

After "Joan of Arc" was burned to death by the Templars for heresy, the body of the sword of Eden fell into the hands of the Templars again.

Lu Xiao just took this opportunity to ask Jovari about the current whereabouts of the holy sword.

Giovanni lowered his head and pondered for a while, recalling: "According to the information passed between Mario and other branches of the Brotherhood in Europe, the recovered Holy Sword was brought back to England by the Templars."

"But in the long struggle for the throne between the Houses of Lancaster and House of York, the British Templar branch was also involved in this endless civil war, and the Holy Sword was lost again, and the Knights Templar did not know it. its whereabouts."

"Is it lost again?"

Lu Xiao had a headache and tapped her forehead with her fingers.

The two families of Lancaster and York are descendants of King Edward III of England. In order to compete for the throne, there has been an intermittent civil war for more than 30 years between the two families.

Lu Xiao had learned about this period of history through film and television dramas before. This civil war was given a poetic name by the great writer Shakespeare in the historical drama Henry VI in the 16th century. War of the Roses, or War of the Roses.

Giovanni was a little puzzled by Lu Xiao's troubles: "Lu, do you care about the Holy Sword of Eden?"

Lu Xiao came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "That's not true, I'm very curious about all the Pieces of Eden, not limited to the Holy Sword of Eden."

Giovanni smiled understandingly: "It's normal to have this kind of curiosity. When I was young, I also studied the Shroud of Eden repeatedly, but unfortunately I couldn't find out its real usage."

Lu Xiao's heart moved, and she asked indistinctly along the topic: "When I was in Monteriggioni, I heard Mario say that the shroud is still in the hands of the Brotherhood?"

Giovanni nodded: "That's right, and it's stored in Florence."

Seeing the eager expression on Lu Xiao's face, Giovanni patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "As a reward for your effort in retrieving the manuscript this time, I allow you to temporarily study it with the authority of the leader of the Florentine Brotherhood. shroud."

"If you need it, I will send someone to deliver it to you, but I want to remind you first."

Giovanni's face became serious: "While all the Pieces of Eden have powerful power, they also have great side effects on the holder."

"People who don't have the blood of the forerunners can hardly resist the temptation of the Pieces of Eden. Even Mario and I must concentrate on resisting the erosion of the will by the shroud. You must be careful about this."

Lu Xiao said clearly: "I see, I don't plan to take a break for the time being, and I'll ask you for research on the shroud after this busy period."

The Shroud of Eden is related to Lu Xiao's test of the world mission mechanism. Unfortunately, Lu Xiao is still unable to effectively resist the terrifying side effects brought by the Pieces of Eden. Once he comes into contact with the Shroud, he is likely to be controlled by it on the spot lose myself.

To gain resistance to the Pieces of Eden, one must first obtain the Isu bloodline inheritance.

Lu Xiao already has some ideas about this.

For the side missions of collecting Altaïr's Codex and six Assassin's tokens, the final reward is a lottery above the excellence level, or an optional reward of the elite level.

One of the mission rewards, Lu Xiao planned to choose the excellent self-selection, which would be used to exchange for low-concentration Isu blood, and obtain the minimum resistance to the Eden artifact.

To successfully collect the artifact of Eden, the exchange of Isu blood is inevitable.

Lu Xiao has already found the relevant exchange items in the system's passive skill list.

In addition to being able to use the Eden Artifact, the Isu blood can also use the basic attribute bonuses and special abilities that come with it, which can also improve Lu Xiao's personal strength to a certain extent.

The next thing to consider is how to complete these two side missions as soon as possible to get rewards.

Chapter 27 The Cabal Emerges

After Giovanni promised to leave, Lu Xiao fell into deep thought in her room.

There are as many as 30 pages of letters, and they are scattered all over Italy. After so many years, it is impossible for me to remember the location of each letter clearly.

But only 6 of the Assassin's tombs are different.

Lu Xiao rubbed her chin with all her thoughts. If my memory is correct, two of the six assassin tombs are in Florence, and two are in Venice, the water city in northern Italy.

The remaining two tombs are located in San Gimignano and a castle named Forli. Compared with the large number of letters, the difficulty of collecting Assassin tokens is significantly lower.

Not to mention the water city of Venice and Forli, there are three Assassin graves buried in the Tuscany region alone.

Among them, the token in the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore has been taken out by Lu Xiao, and Giovanni sent someone to send it back to the Auditore Church.

Then Ya quickened his speed of action.

Get the Assassin's Token in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella as soon as possible, and then go to San Gimignano to search for Rodrigo Borgia's whereabouts while looking for the Assassin's tomb.

After all, Giovanni, La Volpe and others are middle-aged senior assassins. Years of experience have allowed them to develop their own set of values ​​and outlook on life.

Although they were confused for a short period of time under Altaïr's criticism of Assassin's Creed, they all quickly sobered up and re-established their beliefs.

According to Lu Xiao's understanding, Assassin's Creed is not always static.

As the saying goes, all things are false and all things are permitted.

Adhering to the creed of life that one believes in and carrying it through is the correct way to inherit the Assassin's spirit, rather than blindly falling into the endless struggle with the Templars because of hatred and camp opposition.

In this regard, Lu Xiao agrees with the idea of ​​a future traitor from the Assassin Organization.

In the thousands of years of struggle against the Templars, the Assassins have upheld justice like the Italian Brotherhood in the 1516th and [-]th centuries.

Under the leadership of Rodrigo Borgia, the Templars of this era have obviously gone astray. What the Assassins really represent is justice and justice.

But where there is light, there is shadow. The Assassin mentor of the New World Branch of the Brotherhood in the 18th century made a big mistake because of his obsession with the artifact of Eden, which directly led to the earthquake in Port-au-Prince in Lisbon that took countless innocent lives. occur.

In the same way, the Templars did not stand as villains at every point in history. They also had a period when they devoted themselves to guiding the world to be good, and even the highest masters of the Templars were willing to cooperate with the Assassins to build a better future together.

Like François de la Serre, the moderate supreme ambassador of the 18th century French chapter of the Knights Templar.

Unfortunately, the fundamental differences in philosophy between the two organizations made it difficult for the two sides to cooperate for a long time, and there were also many people in the Templars who were firmly opposed to cooperating with the Assassins, so the two parties eventually parted ways.

As an outsider, Lu Xiao was able to stand calmly and soberly outside the hatred between the two organizations, and examine the ideas of both the Assassins and the Templars from an objective perspective.

Now that the Templars are being held back by their obsession, and under the leadership of Rodrigo, they are rushing all the way in the direction of corruption. Lu Xiao is naturally willing to help the assassins put things right.

But if one day the assassin also goes to extremes due to various reasons, Lu Xiao doesn't mind temporarily accepting the guidance of the father of insight like Xie Yikomark, and using another method to bring the assassin back on the right track.

Giovanni, who had returned to normal, continued to monitor Uberto Alberti, and he soon obtained some clues through careful searching.

Uberto Alberti was basically certain that he had betrayed the Medici family, and secretly connected with the Pazzi family and a conspiracy against the Medici.
