Creed of the heavens

"This scum is the culprit who ruined your family. Are you sure you want to protect him?"

Dante froze for a moment, then shook his head stubbornly: "I don't know what you are talking about, he is my employer, and I use money to do things."

"Fuck you, let me wake you up!"

Chapter 53

"Oh!"

Although Lu Xiao said that he wanted to fight Dante, the hidden gun hidden in his right arm armor fired at Marco who was slumped on the ground and howling.

The screams stopped abruptly, and Marco's wide-open eyes fell back, and there was a small black hole on his forehead.

"you wanna die!"

The employer was killed in front of him, and Dante, who had a simple thinking circuit, raised his two-handed sword angrily and attacked Lu Xiao.

"call!"

The heavy two-handed sword slashed down on the head, and the violent sound of the wind when the sword cut through the air made Lu Xiao dare not take it head-on, and rolled sideways to the left, deftly dodging the sword.

It's not Lu Xiao's style to just defend and not attack. With back the sleeve gun in his right hand, Lu Xiao holds a short knife in each hand, and stabs Dante's side with both hands.

Dante is not wearing armor, and his movements are more flexible than those of heavy armored fighters.

Taking a step back to avoid Lu Xiao's attack, Dante skillfully folded the epee back and slashed at Lu Xiao from bottom to top.

With the back road blocked, Lu Xiao exerted further force on his feet, and used the forward momentum to charge behind Dante. The dagger in his left hand cut through his lake-green aristocratic coat, and the dagger held backward in his right hand hit the back of Dante's neck with the hilt.

Dante was nearly 2 meters tall, much taller than Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao couldn't reach the opponent's head in the forward posture, so he could only aim at his neck and attack.

Although Dante's fighting instinct is still there, his brain damage has affected his fighting strategy, and he fell into Lu Xiao's routine and lost the opportunity.

"Well!"

Dante let out a muffled groan when he was hit on the back of the neck, but the big man didn't pass out on the spot as Lu Xiao expected, and continued to forcefully lift his leg and kick backwards despite the pain.

"This guy's physique is too buggy!"

Dodging Dante's counterattack, Lu Xiao opened the distance again, and looked at Dante, who was covering his neck with one hand and holding a giant sword in one hand, in surprise.

Fortunately, Marco was killed first, otherwise when fighting with Dante, he might neglect to make up for him.

In the face of this kind of powerful fighter with explosive force but not very smart mind, the best way is to outsmart him.

Lu Xiao observed the height difference in Marco's room, and thought about the next step while avoiding Dante's attack.

"Shh!"

Throwing the rock-climbing hook lock made by Da Vinci towards the beam on the roof, Lu Xiao pulled herself up with all her strength, and soon disappeared from Dante's sight by bouncing on the beam.

Dante was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what he should do. He knocked open the door with his shoulder and planned to chase outside.

"Brush!"

Dante stepped on a ball of iron chains as soon as he went out, and before he could react, the chains tightened immediately, and under Lu Xiao's remote pull, Dante was hung upside down under the crossbeam.

"Tsk! This guy is so heavy!"

Difficult to tie the other end of the hook lock to the support column of the castle, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to a position five meters away from Dante to observe from a distance.

"Despicable! If you still think you are a fighter, put me down, and we will win and lose with dignity!"

Lu Xiao ignored the two-handed sword that the hanged Dante was waving angrily, and said with a smile: "You seem to have made a mistake. I am not a warrior, but an assassin. Why should I confront you head-on?"

Assassins pursue results, just like the creed says, everything is allowed, as long as they can win, any means can be used, and they are not limited to frontal combat.

Originally, Lu Xiao planned to give Dante a happy life, so that he could be relieved from this miserable life, but Dante's extraordinary sixth sense dispelled his idea.

Dante's physique is extraordinary, but after all, he is only a human being. After being hung upside down, he acted indiscriminately without any common sense to speed up blood circulation. It didn't take long for him to roll his eyes and pass out due to brain congestion.

With Marco's death, there is no commander in the small castle who gave orders and coordinated the overall situation.

When Lu Xiao hung Marco's body on the castle tower for public display, the morale of the private soldiers of the Barbarigo family collapsed immediately, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot, trying to get the governor's leniency.

The next job is not in Lu Xiao's area of ​​responsibility. I will hand over the work of bargaining with Governor Mocenigo to Antonio, and Lu Xiao will hand over the unconscious Dante to Bartolomeo, who is also very strong. The big fool took him back and locked him up temporarily.

Dante's wife, Carlota, was not taken to the small castle by the cold-natured Marco. Knowing that Dante was safe, this middle-aged beautiful woman who was quite old but still charming hurried from Barbary. The manor of the Ge family rushed over.

Da Vinci checked the unconscious Dante and found a huge scar on the back of his head that spanned most of the back of his head.

"It was a miracle that he survived the attack on the back of his head. It is impossible for him to recover his memory."

A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Xiao's face: "Usually, that's true, but Leonardo, you also know that there are certain things in this world that don't make sense."

Da Vinci's face changed: "You mean, the artifact of Eden?"

"That's right, I'm going to contact Giovanni and Mario and try to use Dante to test the effect of the shroud."

Teodora frowned and asked, "Are you sure that the shroud can be used for old wounds? The Brotherhood hasn't been able to confirm the real function of the shroud yet, right?"

Bartolomeo is also not optimistic about Lu Xiao's decision: "There is another problem. According to the research of Giovanni and Mario, only people with the blood of the forerunner can resist the side effects to a certain extent. Dante has this Are you qualified?"

Lu Xiao nodded: "When fighting Dante, I found that his sixth sense is very keen, and don't you think his physical fitness is beyond the standard?"

Bartolomeo nodded hastily: "This guy is simply a monster. I think he is extremely powerful among ordinary people. When Dante tried to escape, I felt powerless when I wrestled with others for the first time. Fortunately, Carlo Ta came just in time to talk the guy down."

Although Dante has lost all his memories of the past, he still instinctively obeys Carlotta's words, and only Carlota can persuade him to calm down.

Antonio heard the hidden meaning in Lu Xiao's words: "That is to say, are you planning to leave Venice? When? We haven't had time to thank you yet."

Lu Xiao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "As members of the fraternity, you don't have to be so polite, and I still have some things to deal with in Venice, so I won't leave immediately."

"By the way, Rosa, come here."

Having said that, Antonio beckoned a pretty female thief outside the door to come in, and put a stack of familiar book pages on the table.

"Agostino handed over the seven pages of Altaïr's codex held by the Barbarigo family as promised. We have locked the location of the remaining four pages, and we should be able to obtain them in the near future."

"Also, the assassin's tomb you want to find, we have also determined the location based on the hidden skull mechanism, in the Church of Our Lady of the Visitor and St. Mark's Basilica."

The three of Antonio and Lu Xiao sincerely hugged each other, "Since you don't want to hold a celebration banquet with great fanfare, we will repay you with practical actions."

"While you explore the two Assassin's tombs, the Venetian Brotherhood promises to recover for you the city's only four remaining pages."

Chapter 54 Bow your head and be willing to be a ox?

With the death of Marco, Emilio, and Silvio, three members of the family loyal to the Templars, Barbarigo's position of Patriarch fell to the unruly Agostino.
