Creed of the heavens

The Assassins of the Brotherhood of Paris, as well as allies associated with the Assassins, accepted the invitation to the banquet.

As the protagonist of this celebration banquet, Lu Xiao was a little uncomfortable with the overly enthusiastic and unrestrained romance of the French. She rejected many aristocratic ladies who made explicit proposals to him one after another, and finally got a moment of rest and came to the garden of the Messier house Rest quietly.

The mission was successfully completed, and Vincent kept his promise to temporarily hand over the Sword of Eden to me for safekeeping. Next, it's time to return to Italy and prepare for my last mission in the world of Assassin's Creed.

Just when Lu Xiao was deep in thought, his keen sixth sense suddenly gave him a warning.

Raising her eyebrows, Lu Xiao turned her head to look at the shadow of the garden: "Come out, Master Philip, please speak up if you have anything to say."

Chapter 67 "The Mentor"

Successfully completing the mission in Paris, Lu Xiao originally thought that he would be able to return to Italy before the end of April, but some unexpected events delayed his progress, and he did not return to Forli, the base camp of Catalina's territory, until mid-May.

In the past few years, the Brotherhood of Assassins has provided him with a lot of help, training Lu Xiao from scratch to become an elite assassin who has experienced many battles.

Before leaving this world, Lu Xiao intends to make some return to the Assassin Organization who is about to say goodbye.

When Philip Messier asked Lu Xiao for advice on how to grow up quickly and become the future hope in the eyes of the elders with an awkward face, Lu Xiao unreservedly told the young nobleman his insights and experiences accumulated over the years.

Philip is willing to let go of his pride and ask himself for advice, which proves that he is still motivated and is not hopeless.

Vincent, as the leader of the French Brotherhood of Assassins, although he was good at dancing and passionate, he taught his children extremely strictly, beat and scolded them frequently, and seldom gave encouragement or praise.

Although Lu Xiao and Philip are not considered to be of the same age, compared to the rigid teachings of the older generation, Lu Xiao, who is closer to young people, has a better way to make Philip listen to his experience and persuasion.

The Parisian Assassin family advocating freedom and romance is not limited to a dude like Philip, news of the upper class always spreads quickly.

When Lu Xiao packed her luggage and was about to bid farewell to Vincent and others, Philip's "hunters and dog friends" came to ask for advice one after another.

As a last resort, Lu Xiao stayed in Paris for more than a month. It was not until Mario's notification letter arrived that he bid farewell to a group of Paris nobles and set out on his way home.

When Lu Xiao arrived in Dafoli, under the warm hospitality of Katerina, the rumors about him gradually spread in France.

The junior assassins who received his psychological counseling and practical education gave him the title mentor at some point.

The task of breaking into the Sistine Chapel involved a lot. According to Mario's instructions, Lu Xiao brought Katerina, who was an ally of the assassins, to Monteriggioni to participate in the combat meeting.

Not only Caterina, the little lord of Romagna, but also Lorenzo, the lord of Florence, and the lords of Siena, Pisa, Lucca and other regions also gathered in the Ostrore Manor.

The Doge of Venice, Mocenigo, also sent Agostino Barbarigo as his special envoy.

Brotherhood members from all over Italy, including Antonio, Bartolomeo, and Teodora, also gathered.

The Auditore Manor was full of big shots, but Katerina was already inconspicuous in comparison.

"Yo our mentor is finally back."

This eerie voice came from Ezio.

Ezio, who had a heavy responsibility, had a big fight with the Templar dispatchers on Cyprus Island, and performed well, but in the end both parties were notified almost at the same time that the golden apple of Cyprus had already been taken away, and the mysterious woman had also been taken away. Lu Xiao found it.

Ezio, who was put together, was busy for nothing. After returning to Italy from Cyprus, he wanted to settle with Lu Xiao angrily, but at that time Lu Xiao had just left for France, and Ezio had been holding back his breath until now.

"tutor?"

Lu Xiao didn't care about Ezio's sly tone, he knew that the other party didn't really hate him, but just vented his dissatisfaction jokingly.

"Since when did I have such a title?"

"Humph!"

Ezio raised his head in dissatisfaction: "Think about it yourself!"

Ezio, who left behind half a sentence, turned around and left. Federico, who had just arrived from Siena not long ago, shook his head in amusement.

"It seems that my dear brother is not mature enough and needs more experience."

Under Federico's explanation, Lu Xiao finally knew the title given to him by the group of young assassins in France, which made him feel a little bit dumbfounded when he was flattered.

The term "Assassin Mentor" should not be called casually. Only those who can move in the right direction of the Brotherhood can be recognized as contemporary Assassin Mentors, usually those who are highly respected within the organization.

Lu Xiao thinks that he is only a junior, at most a Mesozoic member of the Brotherhood of Assassins, far from being respected, and he deserves the title of mentor.

Federico smiled nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's just the younger generation shouting for fun, and my father and Uncle Mario didn't publicly express their objections. You don't have to care too much, Ezio was just joking."

The lords from all over the world are too busy to stay in Monteriggioni for long.

After meeting in person and making an agreement to act together, the lord headed by Lorenzo Medici returned to the capitals of the territories in advance, leaving only a few representatives to continue to maintain contact with all parties.

Tranquility was restored in the Auditore Manor, and the surviving members of the Brotherhood gathered in the underground Auditore Chapel to discuss the detailed procedures for sneaking into the Sistine Chapel around the Golden Apple of Eden.

As the host of the meeting, Mario looked around the crowd: "First of all, we would like to thank Lu, who won the respect of our French counterparts for our Italian Brotherhood, and won the victory from Dietrich Heinz, the Holy Knight of the Templars. Got the Sword of Eden."

During the Renaissance, compared with Italy's fragmented city-state system, the French who had reunified under Louis XI were indeed qualified to despise the Italians.

When the brotherhoods of the two countries communicated, the Italian Assassins felt a little aggrieved facing their French counterparts.

Lu Xiao held up the Holy Sword of Eden that he took away from the Louvre with both hands and showed it to the assassins present. Activated by his Isu blood, the surface of this holy sword glowed with a faint golden light.

With the help of the Sacred Heart hanging on his chest, Lu Xiao's consumption when using the Holy Sword of Eden has been reduced, and he can exert the powerful passive effect leadership of the Holy Sword of Eden.

The term leadership is rather mysterious, but it does exist, and it can be regarded as a kind of personality charm.

It is precisely by virtue of the leadership endowed by the holy sword that Joan of Arc, as a village girl, can become a French national hero who leads the army and resists the invasion of the British army.

And it was by virtue of the passive effect of the Holy Sword of Eden that Lu Xiao could make those rebellious French dudes follow his teachings, and obtained the title of mentor from them.

As they grow older, Giovanni, Mario and others have gradually withdrawn from the front line and become the management of the Assassin Organization.

Lu Xiao, Ezio and other new generations who have gradually grown up are the core forces for sneaking into the Sistine Chapel this time.

With this in mind, Mario decides to temporarily hand over the holy sword to Lu Xiao for safekeeping, which may play a role in invading the Sistine Chapel to find the secret room.

"The selection of the Pope has been settled, and Rodrigo Borgia has been named as the next Pope, and the enthronement ceremony is expected to be completed in the Sistine Chapel in early July."

"The opportunity is not lost, we must seize the Pope's staff before Rodrigo and open the door to the secret room."

Giovanni also added: "Rodrigo must have thought of this, and Rome's defenses will be very tight on the accession day."

"Lorenzo and other local lords agreed to send troops to threaten Rome at the same time on the same day. They will help us contain the main force of the Holy See as much as possible. The next action depends on us."

Mario looked at Lu Xiao solemnly: "Lu, you will lead the infiltration team this time. You must succeed in one attack. We don't have a second chance."

Lu Xiao nodded with a serious expression: "I know, I will do my best to help the Brotherhood complete this most important task."

After the task is completed, it is time for me to retire.
