Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

Xiao Hei tidied up his appearance and made sure there was nothing rude before looking at the house in front of him.

It's an ordinary residential building in New York. It's hard to imagine that Sir Crawford's daughter would work in such an environment.

But when I think of the dilapidated scene of Crawford Manor, everything seems to be explained.

Laura Crawford is an excellent historian and explorer who has explored countless ancient ruins. She has published exploration reports on ruins in Yamatai, Maya, Mongolia and other places, and has made great contributions to the study of human history. Not a small contribution.

However, her name often appears on the wanted list of the Continental Hotel, and the organization that wants her is called Holy Trinity, also known as Trinity.

The name Holy Trinity evolved from the Christian description of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

However, only those who know something about this organization understand that the Trinity they are talking about is not the respect for God, but the worship of the "Father of Insight", "Mother of Wisdom" and "Son of the Oracle" , so it is called the Holy Trinity.

Sound familiar?

Yes, it was the original object of faith of the Order of the Ancients in "Assassin's Creed".

The Holy Trinity and the Knights Templar can be said to be two independent branches of the Order of the Ancients, similar to the difference between Christianity and Catholicism.

The Holy Trinity also advocates the research and excavation of ancient ruins and the search for Isu artifacts to achieve its own goals; while the Knights Templar Order advocates the use of power and fear to rule the world in politics and economy that are closer to life. .

The two methods are different, but they are both pursuing the same goal, which is to control everything.

If the Holy Trinity Order's actions have been proceeding in an orderly manner over the past few thousand years, then problems have arisen since the 21st century.

The people who caused the problem were Sir Crawford and his daughter Laura.

Sir Crawford is a knight awarded by the British royal family. He has extensive research on ancient ruins and history. However, one of his studies touched upon the interests of the Holy Trinity Order, so with the full cooperation of the Holy Trinity Order and the Knights Templar Order, public opinion and various forces were used to put pressure on it. In the end, Sir Crawford chose to commit suicide.

Because the object of his research is the "Holy Shroud", one of the Isu artifacts.

As an adult, Laura went to Siberia to explore and learned the truth about the "Holy Shroud". Jacob, a man who claimed to be a "prophet", also provided a lot of help to him against the Holy Trinity Order.

Laura's confrontation with Holy Trinity has lasted for more than ten years.

Originally, the Assassin Brotherhood wanted to invite more than just Laura, but another guy named Nathan Drake didn't have a good reputation and was often called a "grave robber." And like Laura, he didn't know which ancient tomb he entered and was cursed. It basically collapsed wherever he went. If they both entered the same ancient tomb together, they might not be able to get out.

Xiao Hei thought about it and took the elevator upstairs. The living conditions in this residential building were not good, and there was a strange smell in the elevator, which made Xiao Hei frown.

After getting out of the elevator and looking at the house number, Xiao Hei could only cough and knock on the door a few times.

"squeak--"

The door opened, making a harsh and unpleasant sound. Inside the door, a tall and thick man was frowning and looking at the BlackBro in a suit and tie in front of him: "What's the matter?"

"Um, hello, my name is Blake Williams, and I'm here to see Ms. Laura." Xiao Hei tried his best to squeeze out a friendly smile, because the aura exuded by the strong man in front of him was really huge. Of course, the main reason is that the taste is a bit big. "I have made an appointment with Ms. Laura to visit. Are you Mr. Jonah?"

"Jonah! Let him in, he is a guest."

Inside the house, a shout came from what seemed to be a mature woman.

"Okay, please come in, Mr. Black." Jonah's face became less suspicious and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the Holy Trinity has been pursuing Laura more and more recently. I have to Not prepared.”

"That's why I came here this time." Xiao Hei smiled slightly, nodded towards Jonah, and walked into the room.

There were research materials scattered on the floor, a wooden board covered with notes and connecting lines on the wall, and several wine bottles scattered beside the sofa. The whole room was indescribably messy.

"Uh, sorry, I drank too much last night and didn't have time to clean up..." Jonah scratched his head sheepishly, and then began to clean up the messy items on the ground.

In the back room, a woman with a good face walked over and stretched out her right hand: "Hello, Mr. Black, I am Laura, Laura Crawford."

"Hello, Ms. Laura." Xiao Hei smiled slightly and held his hand. "On behalf of the Yan Nation Assassin Brotherhood, I would like to say hello to you."

"I won't say any more polite words. I heard that this time, your organization discovered an ancient ruins?" Laura stretched out her hand to indicate to Xiao Hei to sit down, and said straight to the point, "I have always wanted to go to Yan Country, there. The ancient ruins must be very interesting.”

"Yes." Xiao Hei said seriously, "We discovered an ancient tomb deep in the Shennongjia area of ​​Northern Hubei Province in the Yan Kingdom. Currently, a scientific expedition team has been formed to conduct part of the exploration, but we have not yet explored the depths of the ruins. Go deeper, because two members of the scientific expedition team are missing in the ruins.”

"Based on the known information from the current scientific expedition team, we have reason to believe that there are holy relics inside the ruins, and more, there are dangerous traps."

“We want to work with professionals.”

"Shennongjia... there won't be any savages there, right?" Laura joked to ease the atmosphere, "I can leave at any time. I told you when we contacted you earlier that I was being recruited by an organization called 'Holy Trinity' Wanted, I hope your organization can provide protection. In exchange, I will go explore the ruins."

"Any treasures obtained belong to the Yan Kingdom. I just hope that I can keep some pictures and data for research."

"We will provide protection and at the same time give you 200 million US dollars as a reward, Miss Laura." Xiao Hei nodded, "In fact, the Yan Kingdom Brotherhood sent me here this time to escort you to Yan Kingdom."

"Ah? You? Is there anything wrong with your physique?" Jonah looked at Xiao Hei, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, in confusion and asked.

Xiao Hei stood up slowly and said with a smile.

"I, Blake Williams, am just an ordinary hotel manager at the Tokyo Continental Hotel. I don't have as powerful abilities as those professional killers."

"However, I have more or less taught some students in the fraternity."

"They call me the Master Assassin."
