Creed of the heavens

"Due to the harsh natural environment, the number of residents on the island is very small, only a few thousand in total."

"And under the ravages and destruction of the volcanic eruption, there is nothing worth exploring there. Mr. Lu, why do you suddenly want to go to Santorini?"

"Intuition, sixth sense."

Lu Xiao said vaguely and perfunctorily: "I have an indescribably strange feeling that something near Thira Santorini is calling me."

"Captain Flynn, you and Ezio continue to go to Cyprus to track down the whereabouts of the mysterious woman. If I don't find it in Santorini, I will hire a ship to go to Cyprus."

Ezio couldn't understand Lu Xiao's intentions, but he still patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder in support and joked: "Be careful yourself, there are many pirates on the Aegean Sea, I don't want to rush back halfway to salvage you."

Chapter 57 Open mouth

Greece in the Renaissance period has long lost the glory of the ancient Greek period, and now Greece is the territory under the name of the Ottoman Empire.

This powerful country spanning the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa is now in its heyday. The strong desire for territorial expansion of the Ottoman Empire made its neighbors dare not relax in the slightest against this powerful Green Church country.

The situation between countries has nothing to do with Lu Xiao, and whoever Greece belongs to has little to do with the purpose of his trip.

But just as Ezio reminded, there are swarms of pirates on the Aegean Sea in this era, and Lu Xiao was attacked by pirates on the way to Thera Island following a small merchant ship.

Fortunately, the strength of this pirate group is relatively weak. There is only one pirate ship transformed from a merchant ship, and its long-range firepower is seriously insufficient. It relies more on boarding battles to kill and deter merchant sailors.

Lu Xiao originally planned to keep a low profile and go to Thira Island to search, but this group of arrogant pirates seemed to be robbing property and at the same time planning to kill people and snatch ships to strengthen themselves.

Being threatened on the head, Lu Xiao didn't care to keep a low profile.

A ship of more than a dozen fighting pirates had no idea that someone on this small merchant ship would dare to resist. Lu Xiao took advantage of a pirate who came to her in unrecognizable steps and was about to plunder her property, so she popped out the Hidden Sword from the front and stabbed him in the chest. Throat.

"Ho! Ho!"

The pirate whose trachea was pierced couldn't make a sound, clutched his neck in pain, and fell to the ground unwillingly with his eyes wide open.

"what!!"

The other passengers and crew around obviously wouldn't cooperate with Lu Xiao's plan for a secret operation. Seeing the pirate falling down with blood spurting from his neck, they all screamed in panic, which attracted the attention of other pirates.

"What the hell are you doing! You want to die!"

Lu Xiao shot a crossbow arrow at the front door of the island that was the first to charge with a scimitar. Before the other pirates could react, Lu Xiao aimed the loaded Hidden Gun at the strongest pirate leader.

"Oh!"

After the clear gunshot, a small hole appeared in the unexplained pirate leader's heart. He looked down at his chest in disbelief, and fell to his knees on the ground with all his strength exhausted, and soon lost his breath of life.

Capture the thief first, and capture the king first. Without the restraint and command of the leader, the pirates who were blown up fell into a panic and fought on their own.

This group of pirates obviously did not do well in the Aegean Sea. They were bare-chested, and most of them held low-quality scimitars made by the Ottoman Empire.

Some of the tougher pirates plucked up the courage to shout and charge towards Lu Xiao, while the other part of the timid ones or those who had other ideas in their hearts took the opportunity to return to the pirate ship and prepare to break away from the small merchant ship.

Relying on higher agility to put his right hand on the side of the arm of the first pirate who was waving his weapon, Lu Xiao moved his arm to slash towards his companion who was preparing to attack together, and at the same time pierced the waist of the pirate with his left hand.

"clang!"

The two scimitars collided, and the movements of the two pirates stagnated for a moment under the force of interaction.

Letting go of the pirate who was losing power rapidly, Lu Xiao popped out the blade of his boot, raised his leg and slashed across the neck of the temporarily immobile pirate, and the two who rushed the fastest fell to the ground and died almost at the same time.

At this time, the three pirates in the back had just left their robbery target, holding their scimitars high and preparing to rush over.

Seeing Lu Xiao killing the two companions effortlessly, the little pirate group's bullying nature was fully exposed. The three of them stopped at the same time and turned their heads to look at each other.

"Swish"

When Lu Xiao shook off the blood on the Hidden Blade and approached the three of them, the three pirates reached a consensus and jumped out from the side of the ship without hesitation.

"crash"

The three pirates who entered the water swam to the pirate ship that had not sailed away with their skilled water skills, and boarded the ship smoothly under the support of their companions who had evacuated in advance, and looked at the killing god standing on the deck of the small merchant ship with lingering fear.

There were no more than a dozen fighters on this pirate ship, and Lu Xiao killed five of them in just a dozen seconds, one of whom was the leader of the pirate group.

The pirates had seen a lot of blood on their hands, and Lu Xiao's efficient method of killing still gave them chills. Following the human instinct of seeking profit and avoiding evil, the pirates decisively chose to escape.

After habitually searching the five corpses for clues, Lu Xiao kicked them all into the sea one by one.

"Alas!"

Seeing Lu Xiao turn his gaze to him, the captain of the small merchant ship's hair stood on end, subconsciously hiding behind the mast, trembling all over, pretending to be an ostrich.

Dumbfounding, he stepped forward and patted the captain on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not a murderer, I won't do anything to you."

"Go ahead, this group of pirates is very weak. If you stay in the middle of the sea for too long, you may encounter a large pirate group."

Carefully confirming again and again that Lu Xiao has no malice towards the ship, and Lu Xiao's threat is also very reasonable, the captain trembled for a while, and finally summoned up the courage to command the ship again.

Hey, has it really become like this?

Noticing that the crew of other passengers consciously stayed away from him, Lu Xiao secretly sighed, which was one of the reasons why he didn't want to make a move unless he had to.

Leave as soon as the ship docks, it will be troublesome if you are reported to the consuls of the surrounding islands by some mean-spirited passenger.

Thira, or Santorini, is a barren and sparsely populated volcanic island. There are no large settlements on the island, only a small fishing village directly named after the island.

After the replenishment and unloading in Santorini Village, the small merchant ship hurriedly sailed further north to Naxos Island without making any stops.

Under the curious eyes of the villagers in the fishing village, Lu Xiao put on her hood and left the small village, stepping on the island floor full of sulfur to go deeper.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey took place during the Peloponnesian War in Greece, around 430 BC, nearly 2000 years after the European Renaissance.

In the past 2000 years, the volcano on Thera Island has erupted many times, and the topography of the entire island has undergone great changes compared with the ancient Greek period.

Lu Xiao searched the island for several days but failed to find the entrance of the suspected Atlantis ruins.

Sitting on the edge of the beach and thinking for a while, Lu Xiao gritted his teeth and cut his arm with the Hidden Blade. When the blood started to flow, he took out the Shroud of Eden and covered it on his hand.

As the shroud of Eden radiated golden light and began to exert its healing effect, Consus, whose spirit resided in the shroud, also got in touch with Lu Xiao again.

"It's a pleasure to talk to you again, Lu Xiao, you want to know this time?"

Before the opening greetings were finished, Consus suddenly made a puzzled voice: "I feel the vibration of the Pieces of Eden, Lu Xiao, where are you now?"

The wound on Lu Xiao's arm had stopped bleeding, and under the magical effect of the Shroud of Eden, the scar was healing rapidly.

Lu Xiao took off the shroud and replied: "The island of Thira in ancient Greece is now called Santorini. It is said that Atlantis, the ruins of the Isu city, is near this island."

"Atlantis?"
