Creed of the heavens

"Whether it is the Templars or our Brotherhood of Assassins, it is not easy to invade the Louvre without arousing the king's vigilance. Both sides will definitely try their best to create obstacles for each other."

"Your arrival has given us one more trump card that we can take out."

Center solemnly suggested: "Lu, the Brotherhood of Paris will do its best to help you block the Templars. You happened to use your identity as an outsider to sneak into the Louvre and quietly take out the holy sword."

Chapter 65 Saint

As a newcomer, Lu Xiao's understanding of the situation in Paris is limited to the small amount of information provided to him by Mario before departure from Italy.

As Vincent said, in France, which advocates freedom and romance, the concept of Assassins has been recognized unprecedentedly, and the Brotherhood is extremely rare and has reached a delicate balance with the Templars.

During the Middle Ages, the control of the Catholic Church was unprecedented, and even the selection of kings in some countries would be influenced by the pope's wishes.

It was during this period that the Templars secretly formed an alliance with the Holy See, and the Templars were behind the Crusades several times.

The weak situation of the Italian Assassins is not an exception. The Templars, who control the official power, have formed a suppressive posture against the Assassins throughout Europe, but the situation of this strange flower in France is quite special.

Vincent does not have the habit of showing off like traditional nobles. His family should have risen only in the last generation or two.

He gave Lu Xiao a detailed introduction to the current situation in France in as short a language as possible.

In a word, the Parisian Brotherhood headed by Vincent hoped that Lu Xiao would sneak into the Louvre and steal the holy sword while they and the Templars were restraining each other and both sides were short of manpower.

It doesn't sound difficult, but the Louvre, as one of the landmark buildings in France, of course has very tight defenses.

The Louvre was built in 1204 and has been used as a royal palace by the French royal family since Charles V.

Since Charles V, several generations of French kings have funded the intermittent expansion of the Louvre, and the interior decoration has been updated countless times. The interior of the palace is extremely luxurious.

However, the strange thing is that in the 350 years after Charles V, the French royal family gradually stopped living in this palace due to the frequent expansion of the Louvre, but straightened the Fontainebleau Palace, which was originally used as a residence.

Although the Louvre was neglected by the French royal family, the palace was not completely abandoned. Instead, it restored the function given by Philip II when it was originally built to store precious treasures belonging to the royal family.

Before Lu Xiao left for the Louvre, Vincent also told him a bad news.

"Not only did we call for foreign aid, but the Templars also took action. They transferred a mysterious figure called a saint by the local church in the Holy Roman Empire. You must pay attention to him when you enter the Louvre to find the holy sword. The presence."

"Holy one?"

Lu Xiao's brows twitched. Could it be the kind of saint I thought?

Lu Xiaotong has played many generations of Assassin's Creed, and he still has a deep impression of the title of saint.

The name of the saint first came from Assassin's Creed Black Flag. The saint at that time was a Welshman named Bartholomew Roberts.

There is also a saint John Standish in the modern plot of Black Flag, and Jacques de Molay and François Thomas Germain mentioned in the follow-up Assassin's Creed Revolution are also saints.

According to the information provided by Aletheia, the same soul sleeps in the body of all the saints, and this soul originates from Aita the Isu, the husband of the conspirator Juno.

Aita voluntarily became the subject of his wife Juno when the Isu civilization was studying how to resist the Toba catastrophe.

This experiment was the inspiration that Juno got after stealing Consus's technology. She planned to transfer Aita's consciousness body into a synthetic compound with stronger resistance, so that the Isu could obtain immortality in another way.

As long as they can escape the devastating coronal ejection, the Isu people will be able to escape from the man-made composite medium they hide in, and use the instruments buried deep in the underground shelter to create a new body for themselves and complete the Isu civilization restart.

There is nothing wrong with the idea itself, the problem lies with Juno.

There was a problem with the half-baked technology she obtained by relying on cheating and abduction, and Aita, who was a test subject, died because of this.

Juno did not despair, she secretly manipulated the genetic code of human beings, implanting a hidden trigger that randomly activates and changes the genetic structure of individuals.

Once a newborn is "lucky" and triggers the mechanism Juno set in DNA, his appearance will gradually change into that of Aita, and this set of recessive DNA will gradually develop towards him during the person's growth. Imbues Aita with the memories she had in the past.

Under the influence of the recessive gene buried by Juno, these Aita "larvae" have an Isu DNA concentration far exceeding the limit of human beings, even reaching a maximum of 10.

The high concentration of Isu DNA endows these people with some supernatural abilities that are different from ordinary people, such as a powerful sixth sense, and the trans-age knowledge derived from Aita's memory.

Some of the larvae were driven mad by the instilled memories of Aita every moment, and those who survived this period would be called "Holy Ones" by contemporary Assassins and Templars because of their unique and powerful abilities.

Each generation of saints has different personalities while inheriting Aita's memory. They have joined the Assassins and assisted the Templars.

According to the secret records of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, at least seven saints have appeared so far.

The first recorded saints come from the Sumerian civilization, when Gilgamesh ruled the city-state of Uruk.

Later, the saint appeared in Babylon, Huns, India, Byzantium, Maya, Mongolia and other countries.

The most recent record comes from France in the 1314th and [-]th centuries. The saint at that time was named Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Templars, and he was one of the holders of the Sword of Eden.

Under Vincent's arrangement, Lu Xiao temporarily settled in the mansion of the Messier family, waiting silently for the night to fall.

During this time, Lu Xiao first took a nap to recover the physical strength and energy consumed during the long journey.

After breaking away from deep sleep, Lu Xiao began to think about the true origin and purpose of this man called a saint in a state of light sleep meditation.

The last saint was Jacques de Molay, the Supreme Master of the Knights Templar, the holder of the Holy Sword of Eden, and now there is another German called the Holy One, and he came here specifically for the Holy Sword. Just a pure coincidence, right?

Thinking of the saint Francois Germain who fought against the Assassin Arno Dorian during the French Revolution, Lu Xiao raised his vigilance.

It seems that the process of obtaining the holy sword will not be so smooth.

When Lu Xiao finished recuperating, Paris had already entered dusk, and night was gradually falling.

During this period of time, Lu Xiao asked Vincent about the approximate location where the ashes of the saint "Jean of Arc" were thrown, and under the puzzled look of the other party, she went to the Seine River alone.

Lu Xiao was no longer a rookie. After completing many difficult missions for the Brotherhood of Assassins, his reputation was already very loud among brotherhoods all over Europe.

After Lu Xiao returned from going out alone, Vincent didn't talk nonsense, and immediately called the assassins of the Brotherhood to set off to provide support for Lu Xiao's sneaking into the Louvre, and try his best to contain the Templars.

The inside and outside of the Louvre are still brightly lit at night, and there are a large number of heavily armed French soldiers patrolling near this extremely gorgeous palace.

The defense of the Louvre is tight, but because the French princes and nobles will add to it from time to time, the overall structure of the Louvre is not considered in terms of preventing infiltration, leaving loopholes in many places.

She successfully passed through one of the secret passages informed by Vincent to enter the interior of the Louvre. With the help of the dark color of Altaïr's armor, Lu Xiao walked through the Louvre without anyone noticing, avoiding the sight of the guards.

After entering the inner hall of the Louvre, relying on the resonance between the artifacts of Eden, Lu Xiao saw the simple long sword displayed among a large number of royal treasures at a glance.

But at the same time, he also found something strange when he opened the eagle pupil.

Although it was impossible to find out exactly where the enemy was, Lu Xiao's powerful sixth sense from the Isu bloodline was frantically alarming him, and there were people hiding in the dark nearby who held strong hostility towards him.

Lu Xiao licked the slightly dry lips under the hood, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, let's play hide and seek, Mr. Saint.
