Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao knew very well what was in the secret room, and knew that the Brotherhood would be disappointed by it.

Since Lu Xiao came to the world of Assassin's Creed, the original history has been greatly deflected. He is very curious whether the information Minerva left in the secret room will change because of this.

Aletheia is also a little confused about Minerva, who is wise and close to the demon. Minerva, who was given the title of Goddess of Wisdom by humans, is one of the most famous scholars in the contemporary Isu. Nuo broke his wrist.

It's a pity that Minerva has long since died, and she didn't leave her own consciousness like Consus and Aletheia. What she left in the secret room was only the self-response holographic image that had been prepared, which could barely be regarded as one of her A wisp of remnant soul.

It's ironic when you think about it.

Lu Xiao secretly sighed that both the assassins and the Templars thought that there would be powerful weapons hidden in the secret room, and neither of them thought that what was left in the secret room was just a warning and reminder, and this piece of information was aimed at the modern times hundreds of years later. people.

During the final preparation time, Lu Xiao stayed at the Auditore Sanctuary and was unable to retreat. Under the guidance of Aletheia, she retrieved the information from the Golden Apple of Eden, and slowly read and absorbed knowledge.

Even Aletheia doesn't know the exact number of Eden's golden apples left over from the catastrophe of Toba, but she is sure that the information recorded in each apple is completely different.

Altaïr had already eaten through the golden apples he obtained, and most of the relevant information was recorded in his handbook.

The one in Lu Xiao's hand recorded a lot of new content, including the detailed description of the Isu's gene modification technology.

It's a pity that Lu Xiao, who was born as a white-collar worker, is not a scholar engaged in scientific research. He can't understand these technologies full of professional terms.

With Aletheia's assisted explanation, Lu Xiao unexpectedly found a technique that might be useful to him in this pile of materials full of academic terms.

Lu Xiao is not unfamiliar with this technology, it has appeared in the DLC of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, it can transform humans with Isu blood into orthodox Isu people.

According to Aletheia, this technology was originally used by some Isu to prolong the lifespan of their human partners. After all, the human life span of a mere hundred years is too short for the Isu who live for thousands of years.

Purebred Isu people have strong physical fitness and a super sixth sense that Lu Xiao has not fully understood so far. Some individuals with extraordinary talents, such as Minerva, can even penetrate tens of thousands of years into the future with the help of instruments. .

Logically speaking, Lu Xiao, who has exchanged the blood of the Isu, should eventually move forward to become an Isu.

But the "human will" hanging in his talent box puzzled Lu Xiao and hesitated at the same time.

All explanations of this racial talent called human will are question marks. After obtaining the system, Lu Xiao's learning ability and physical training progress speed have been greatly improved. Preliminary speculation should be related to this unknown racial talent.

No matter how high the concentration of Isu DNA is in Lu Xiao's body, as long as he hasn't gotten rid of the human category, this racial talent should always exist.

But once he completely transforms himself into an Isu, human will will probably disappear, and the consequences are still unknown.

What exactly does human will mean?

Lu Xiao thought about it but couldn't get any clues. The row of question marks on the talent description seemed to mock his overreaching.

Forget it, let’s put it aside for now, anyway, it will be impossible to obtain the equipment needed to transform humans into Isu for a while. Perhaps in the future time travel, this strange racial talent will gradually reveal its mysterious veil.

The Isu civilization has long been shattered, and most of the knowledge Lu Xiao obtained from the golden apple could not be used quickly, but this knowledge did give him a lot of inspiration.

Leonardo da Vinci received Lu Xiao's call, and hurriedly returned to Monteriggioni under the escort of the personnel arranged by Governor Mocenigo.

"Ah my friend, long time no see."

After nearly one year of separation, Da Vinci's beard grew longer, but his temperament did not change, he was still so optimistic and cheerful, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

Known as the all-round genius, Da Vinci's thinking mode is not limited by the common sense of the current era, and he also has a fairly strong ability to do things independently.

Lu Xiao told Da Vinci part of the Isu technology he obtained from the Golden Apple, and the two discussed and modified it, and occasionally asked Consus to come out to provide some suggestions.

The metallurgical technology of the Isu is far superior to the contemporary ones. Although it is impossible to restore Hephaestus' craftsmanship without equipment, Da Vinci, inspired by the Isu technology, updated Lu Xiao's complete set of equipment .

The reworked Hidden Blade has become sharper, and the Hidden Blade and Hidden Gun on the right arm have been integrated and transformed. They are no longer just two separate weapons, but are combined into a pocket gun blade.

Relying on the idea of ​​fixed ammunition and breech loading put forward by Lu Xiao, the ingenious Da Vinci completed the research and development of the repeating gun hundreds of years in advance.

Under Lu Xiao's solemn reminder, Da Vinci vowed not to disclose this technology to anyone.

But he has an old-fashioned request, hoping to draw a personal portrait for Lu Xiao.

The parting was imminent, Lu Xiao no longer insisted on refusing, Da Vinci finally got what he wanted, and spent a whole day completing the prototype of the whole painting.

While some people waited anxiously and some waited silently for the countdown, Rodrigo Borgia's enthronement day arrived as scheduled.

Lu Xiao and the others, who set off early, have already arrived in Rome, the eternal city, and are now ambushing in a dwelling near the Sistine Chapel.

The new Pope is about to ascend the throne, and the city of Rome has already been in a jubilation. Pink petals are flying everywhere in the city. The intoxicating fragrance has triggered many carnival banquets.

The soldiers of the Holy See ignored the spontaneously organized celebrations of the people, and patrolled the city nervously, eliminating all unstable factors that might endanger the safety of the new Pope.

A large number of the Holy See's troops had gathered on the border of the Greater Rome region. It was impossible to hide the large-scale military mobilization of the emerging forces headed by Florence. The armies of both sides started a tense confrontation in their respective border areas.

Under the containment of Lorenzo and other lords, the number of soldiers in Rome was severely reduced, which gave Lu Xiao, Ezio, Federico and others a more relaxed environment for activities.

A total of more than 50 elite assassins were summoned from all over Italy. After being screened by Lu Xiao, only 12 elites were left to directly participate in the operation. Possibly distracting guards around the church.

"Clang! Clang!"

The big bell rang from the tower of the Sistine Cathedral, and the solemn and solemn bell rang throughout the city of Rome. No matter what they were doing when they heard the bell, almost all the residents stopped their work and folded their hands together. Silent prayer in the direction of the Sistine Chapel.

A group of unsightly people moved quietly among the crowd with their eyes closed and their heads bowed, gradually approaching the main building of the Sistine Chapel.

Rodrigo, wearing a red yarmulke, was wearing a complicated papal attire, and his face was slightly older than the last time we met.

With the blessings of countless believers, Rodrigo completed the announcement ceremony outside the church square, and entered the church under the guard of a large number of guards and monks.

it's time.

Disperse, act!

Lu Xiao made a tactical gesture that had been discussed in advance, and the assassins responsible for the harassment hid in the crowd and threw stones at the Roman guards guarding outside the church.

The riot was triggered by this. Under the deliberate guidance of the assassins, the chaotic flow of people attacked the door of the church. Fanatical believers rushed forward, trying to enter the church to obtain the Pope's personal blessing.

Lu Xiao and the other infiltration team broke away from the crowd when the guards gathered at the main entrance to form a human wall, and sneaked in from the weakly defended side of the church.

It was too conspicuous for more than a dozen people to act together in the church. Lu Xiao arranged for six of them to stay behind and issue an early warning at any time. The remaining six entered the main church in two ways.

The loud hymns sung by many people at the same time are echoing in the church. Lu Xiao, Ezio, and Federico sneaked in from the second-floor windows of the left corridor, and quickly locked on to Luo, who stood at the front and took the lead in singing the hymns. Drigo.

Is that the pope's staff?

Lu Xiao looked at the gray-haired Rodrigo. The staff he held in his hand had a very strange shape. There were three metal rods extending out from the top of the main structure. If Lu Xiao could describe it

It looks like a miniature version of an all-metal utility pole. Which tasteless Isu designed this?

Chapter 69 EX ~ Curry Stick (Fog)

About the pope's staff Lu Xiao thinks that the original purpose of this thing was not a staff at all, but that the Catholics who accidentally found this artifact of Eden forcibly gave it a name and function.

In fact, the real purpose of the Pope's staff is as one of the two necessary items to open the Isu Vault.
