Creed of the heavens

"found it."

Contrary to Lu Xiao's expectations, Rodrigo Borgia did not live in the luxurious mansion of the Pazzi family, but chose the Church of the Assumption, a famous building in the city, as his foothold.

Of course, the defenses around the church were very tight, and a large number of iron cans in full-covered heavy armor blocked the entrances of the church tightly.

How do I get in here?

Lu Xiao stood on the top of the Grossa Tower in annoyance, using her powerful long-distance vision to monitor Rodrigo's every move.

Rodrigo Borgia was also wearing a set of hooded clothes at this time. He was accustomed to a luxurious life and was unwilling to wrong himself even if he hid his identity. He could be recognized at a glance from the gorgeousness of his clothes.

Rodrigo wearing a hood and a man dressed as a monk were talking in a low voice in the atrium of the Church of the Assumption. Unfortunately, Lu Xiao didn't have a good ear and couldn't capture the content of the conversation between the two.

Although Lu Xiao covered up the soldiers who were assassinated by him, it was only a matter of time before the soldiers who switched defenses discovered that someone had sneaked into the city. He had to complete the task before the guards raised their alert.

In short, let's act first, and investigate around the Church of the Assumption, maybe there are hidden defensive loopholes.

Spotting a pile of straw in the hidden courtyard downstairs, Lu Xiao jumped up high with open arms, the passive skill of Leap of Faith was activated, and the Grossa Tower, which took 10 minutes to climb, quickly climbed from top to bottom in just a few seconds.

"Swish"

Climbing out of the pile of straw, Lu Xiao patted the remaining straw on his body, slowed down and pretended to be a passing pedestrian, and slowly approached the Church of the Assumption in the direction of the flow of people.

"Ok?"

When passing by an empty corner of Glossata, Lu Xiao keenly noticed something strange, and left the crowd and turned into the alley.

With a wave of his hand, he brushed away a dusty, unknown protrusion on a moss-covered wall, and a familiar skull appeared before Lu Xiao's eyes.

Assassin's Tomb?it's here?

Lu Xiao observed the distance between the Grossa Tower and the Church of the Assumption, and felt a sudden movement in her heart?

After confirming that no one nearby noticed him, Lu Xiao pulled the skeleton mechanism and jumped in from the secret passage exposed underground.

After landing, Lu Xiao looked around vigilantly.

The moist and foul-smelling air stimulated Lu Xiao's sense of smell. This place seemed to be a section of the city's sewer.

Opposite the wooden platform where Lu Xiao settled down was a sealed door, and beside the door was hidden a general mechanism for the tomb that Lu Xiao had opened several times.

Through the first gate, what Lu Xiao saw was an underground wine cellar filled with a large number of wooden barrels.

Several guards were patrolling back and forth in the wine cellar. This unnatural defense aroused Lu Xiao's suspicion.

Does the wine cellar still need to be guarded?Which prodigal landlord built this wine cellar? The wine barrels are filled with gold?or

Lu Xiao thought of a possibility, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The Catholic Church prohibits alcoholism, but does not restrict priests from drinking a small amount of alcohol. If this is the underground wine cellar of the Church of the Assumption, this level of security is justified.

This is to eliminate all possible uneasy factors around Rodrigo. That old boy is quite afraid of death.

Chapter 32 "The Spaniards"

After sneaking into the wine cellar from the entrance of the tomb, Lu Xiao took advantage of the blind spot between the wine barrel racks, and used the Hidden Sword to silently deal with a guard who was facing away from him.

Dragging the corpse into the pile of debris, Lu Xiao solved the few guards in the wine cellar one by one in almost the same way, and found the entrance to the next area.

Next door to this secret wine cellar is a large library, with a large number of neat bookshelves displayed in it, and guards several times the number of wine cellars guard the place quite tightly.

Entering the library, Lu Xiao observed through clairvoyance and found two forked roads leading to different directions.

One of them is to continue to climb up. There are fewer guards along the way, and it is likely to be the way directly to the assassin's tomb.

The other exit is the gate of the library. There are many guards, and it is temporarily impossible to know where the gate leads.

Choose one?

Lu Xiao hid in the shadow of the lower corner of the library, weighed the difficulty of the action and the priority of the situation, and finally decided to temporarily give up exploring the assassin's tomb and concentrate on breaking through the defense of the gate.

If the wine cellar and the library are really connected to the Church of the Assumption as Lu Xiao guessed, he must hurry up to confirm Rodrigo's whereabouts.

Lu Xiao didn't think that the Spaniard would stay in the back of San Gimignano and wait for the news.

Once the time is right, Rodrigo will definitely go to Florence to preside over the overall situation in person, and there is not enough time left for Lu Xiao to inquire about the news.

What's more, the mercenaries led by Mario are launching a feint attack on San Gimignano outside the city. The so-called gentleman can't stand under the wall, and Rodrigo may withdraw early if he sees the situation is not good.

Compared with the complex terrain of the wine cellar, Lu Xiao's actions in the library are somewhat restrained.

This library is divided into two floors. Lu Xiao is now hiding in the shadow of the passage connecting the first floor with the underground wine cellar.

There are at least a dozen guards patrolling on the first floor, and on the second floor, guards are often seen standing on the edge of the floor and looking down, and the defense is very strong.

In the real world, of course, the guards will not always use a fixed patrol route like in the game, and the randomness is quite large.

Waiting patiently in the corner for 10 minutes, Lu Xiao finally caught the gap between the guard who was facing her and closed her eyes and yawned. Reach out and grab the railing on the second floor.

At this time, the guards on the second floor had just completed a high-altitude scanning patrol, and turned their backs to Lu Xiao.

In order not to waste time and attract the attention of other guards, Lu Xiao used the strength of her waist and abdomen and the momentum of the previous climb, grasped the edge of the second floor with her hands behind her back, and threw her lower body up first.

"rub!"

Before her legs landed on the ground, a sharp blade popped out of Lu Xiao's leather boots. The blade of her left foot slashed across the side of the guard's neck, and the instep of her right foot turned around to block the guard's mouth.

"Well!"

There was only time to let out a muffled grunt, and the guard whose trachea and aorta had been cut collapsed in pain.

Lu Xiao's legs fell to the ground first and then rolled into the second floor. He supported the guard before he fell to the ground and made a noise. Using the solid wooden railing on the second floor as a cover, he hid the body in a blind spot that could not be seen from the opposite side.

After successfully entering the second floor with a good view, the next action will be relatively easy.

Lu Xiao took care of the guards near the observation windows one by one along the interconnecting passages on the second floor, eliminating the risk of being discovered by high-level guards in the next operation.

The main event is coming.

In Nuo Da's library, the patrol routes of more than a dozen guards overlapped and covered a large area of ​​sight. It was basically impossible to kill them silently with the cover of the bookshelves alone.

Fortunately, there are many overhead beams on the high part of this library. Due to the cover of the guards on the second floor, the patrolling guards on the lower floor of the library usually do not look up to observe their heads.

With the help of this blind spot in thinking, Lu Xiao carefully moved silently on the sorghum.

When passing the guards' patrolling area, Lu Xiao could even smell the faint smell of wine on their bodies. It was obvious that they had secretly enjoyed it in the wine cellar not long ago.

You must hurry up, if someone suddenly wants to go down to ask for a drink, you can definitely see the abnormal situation in the wine cellar at a glance.
