Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao hurriedly threw down her staff to support the swaying elderly Cassandra, letting her lean against the boulder firmly.

Cassandra seemed to have lost all perception of everything around her. She stared blankly at the triangular energy body above the relic hall with her cloudy eyes, and murmured a sentence in ancient Greek that Lu Xiao could not understand.

"Earth, mother of all things, I salute you"

As soon as the words fell, Cassandra lost her breath of life, and swallowed her last breath with a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lu Xiao sighed softly, reached out to close Cassandra's half-open eyes and whispered in a low voice: "May death bring you eternal peace, good night, great falconer Cassandra."

The ruins of Atlantis are completely isolated from the outside world by a long water channel, making it impossible to take Cassandra out for burial.

Lu Xiao could only bury her body with gravel in the relic hall, and let her sleep forever with the seal of Atlantis that she had guarded for more than 1900 years.

"buzz"

While reaching out to hold the staff of Hermes, Aletheia's voice and the system's prompt sound echoed in Lu Xiao's head in a dual-channel manner at the same time.

"Detachment, now, let's have a good talk."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the scepter of Hermestris, the artifact of Eden."

"Artifact ability: the holder gains endless lifespan until it is actively passed on to the next owner."

"The scepter has the ability to transform, and can change into any shape according to the will of the holder."

"Warning, to activate the ability of the Rod of Hermes, you need to officially become its owner first. This behavior will cause the host to forcibly complete the world task. Please consider whether to activate the Rod of Hermes by yourself."

Chapter 62 The Great Harvest

Setting foot on the land of Thera Island again, Lu Xiao felt as if she had passed away.

Subconsciously looked down at the upper arm of his left hand, the touch of the golden bracelet under Altaïr's armor made Lu Xiao feel a little heavy.

Taking over the Hermes staff from Cassandra, Lu Xiao also took over her responsibilities at the same time. This heavy sense of responsibility made him unable to let go of it for the time being.

This trip to the ruins of Atlantis was very fruitful, not only recovered the last page of Altaïr's book, but also learned a lot of secrets behind the world of Assassin's Creed from Consus and Aletheia.

In the end, it also inherited the artifact Hermes Rod from Cassandra, and inherited some important legacy left by Cassandra.

Although the amount of Cassandra's inheritance is small, each of them has a significant effect on Lu Xiao's strength.

There are three pieces of inheritance, all of which are the Pieces of Eden that Cassandra has kept by her side over the years.

The first is a degraded version of the Shroud of Eden.

The shroud held by Lu Xiao is the original prototype version, which has the strongest effect and relatively small side effects.

The Shroud kept by Kassandra is a degraded replica made by Juno of stealing Consus' technology.

It only has less than 60 abilities of the shroud prototype, and it will have serious side effects on those who are not strong enough to be healed, semi-permanently affecting the user's spirit.

Although this thing is useless for Lu Xiao, it can just be returned to the Brotherhood of Assassins as a substitute, and the original shroud can be preserved to complete the mission.

The second one is the Golden Apple of Eden that should have been buried in Cyprus. Cassandra took it out from the ancient ruins in Cyprus and put it beside her. Unfortunately, Ezio and others had to make a waste of a trip.

The last piece is the Artifact of Eden, which is of great commemorative significance to Kassandra.

This quaint long sword is the Holy Sword of Eden used by Cassandra's younger brother, Alexios, also known as the Sword of Damocles.

There is not only one Holy Sword of Eden made by Hephaestus, and the one that has appeared many times in history is still scattered somewhere in France.

The sword of Damocles in Lu Xiao's hand has never been seen since the Peloponnesian War in Greece. Cassandra has always regarded it as a relic of her younger brother, and it is cherished and cherished by her side.

After obtaining and activating the staff of Hermes, the time Lu Xiao will stay in this world has entered a countdown, and there is only one year left.

Accidentally obtained 4 Eden Artifacts from Cassandra. Lu Xiao is already very satisfied. In the remaining year, he plans to go to France to try his luck and see if he can get it before the end of the year. Find another Sword of Eden.

According to Aletheia, the Rod of Hermes does have powerful power, allowing the holder to live forever, but holding it for a long time will always test the willpower of the host.

The side effect of the Rod of Hermes is to subtly change the owner's thinking mode. Under its influence, people who are not strong-willed will gradually become tyrannical and arrogant, and lose their modesty and prudence.

Using each piece of Eden will have a corresponding side effect, and this side effect is not only for humans, as the creators of artifacts, the Isu will also suffer from side effects, but they are much less affected than humans.

The side effects of the Shroud of Eden and the Rod of Hermes are aimed at the spirit and will of the person, while actively activating the Apple of Eden will slightly reduce the lifespan, and using the Holy Sword of Eden will greatly consume the energy of the holder The system calls it magic.

Limited by the hippest spirit attribute in the four dimensions and the relatively low level of Isu blood for the time being, Lu Xiao's total magic power is very meager, activating the power of the sword of Damocles once will completely stop it.

The Apple of Eden is essentially just a mobile hard drive and a master key used by the Isu to store data and open mechanisms.

You can use it if you want to. The golden apple can manipulate people's will, distort the subjective will of the controlled person, and force the controlled person to act according to their own ideas.

Altaïr mastered the correct usage of the golden apple. He deciphered a lot of knowledge and information from the Apple of Eden during his lifetime. The man-made artifact armor worn by Lu Xiao was his masterpiece.

Like Altaïr, Lu Xiao didn't intend to use the Apple of Eden purely as a weapon. What he valued was the knowledge stored in the golden apple.

Yi Suming is an advanced civilization that relies on high-tech means to achieve near miracles. The technological means they have mastered are very advanced, far exceeding the human civilization on Earth that Lu Xiao knows.

In fact, the Isu are not completely incapable of resisting the sun's coronal ejection, what limits them is time.

Isu scholars such as Minerva, Juno, and Jupiter came up with as many as five countermeasures, but each one was difficult to succeed due to lack of time.

Yi Suming was finally destroyed by the Toba catastrophe. Human beings who failed to inherit the essence of their technology would never survive the second coronal ejection in 2012 on their own.

The only way is to find the great temple built by Minerva and others, and use the "eye" of Juno's modified base to release a super protective shield covering the entire earth.

But this approach will liberate the consciousness that Juno uploaded to the "eye" using Consus technology from the seal, threatening the future of human beings in this world from another level.

The ancient ruins left by Yi Suming on the earth are scattered, and it is impossible to implement the first four plans of Minerva and others. Lu Xiao can only find another way to avoid future disasters in the world of Assassin's Creed. A promise to the dying Cassandra.

or

Lu Xiao rubbed her chin and murmured, using Juno's preparations to survive the 2012 coronal ejection first, and then arrange a series of sweet baits to lure out Juno's consciousness that escaped the seal of the Great Temple and kill it completely?

In any case, just one year is definitely not enough to implement the plan to destroy Juno.

Moreover, the timeline where Lu Xiao is now is not correct, she must first use Juno to block the disaster in 2012, and then find a way to eliminate this radical Isu who want to enslave mankind to rule the world.

After leaving Thera Island by boat, Lu Xiao did not keep his promise to Ezio and rushed to the island of Cyprus, but went west all the way back to Ancona Port, and then rode back to Monteriggioni Castle in Tuscany.

Mario, who was training mercenaries in the city, was very surprised to see Lu Xiao: "Lu? Why did you come back first? Where's Ezio?"

Lu Xiao modified the story she experienced and told Mario in detail.

In order to prevent Cassandra, a demigod who has lived for more than 1900 years, from appearing in the story and affecting the views of Mario and others, Lu Xiao deliberately concealed her true identity, and only mentioned that the mysterious woman was a wandering assassin and saint. A member of a neutral secret organization among the Templars.

Of course, the fact is not too different, Cassandra is indeed not biased towards either side of order and chaos, even if her descendant Aya founded the prototype of the Assassin Organization.

Hand over the Juno version of the Shroud of Eden and the last page to Mario, and the task of the system's release in Italy will be considered a perfect completion.
