When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Lord Lisern..."

Altaïr and Ezio walked into the tent and their eyes fell on the golden apple in Li Shanren's hand.

"Could it be that you have already tried to accept the inheritance?"

They naturally also saw the golden light emanating from the tent before, so it was no wonder that they had such an association.

Li Shanren hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I guess so."

"So... did you succeed?" Ezio noticed Li Shanren's expression, and there was a hint of inexplicable nervousness in his eyes.

He seemed to be hoping that "Lord Lithern" would be recognized by the Golden Apple.

"If you mean activating the golden apple, then... sort of."

Li Shanren shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"Did something unexpected happen?" Altaïr's eyes narrowed, and he could hear the complex emotions in the words.

"I can only tell you that, unfortunately, I was not able to obtain the inheritance of the Invisible One." Li Shanren admitted truthfully, "But I got something more unexpected from the golden apple."

After saying this, he slightly raised the golden apple in his hand, his eyes flashing.

[Item Name]: Golden Ball of Destiny

[Item Type]: Valuables

[Explanation]: A broken vessel that contains a little power of destiny. After being activated by special techniques or energy, it can be used to peek into the important destiny related to oneself. Some people use this to hide their inheritance in this destiny, waiting for the successor to inherit. Rumor has it that the Milts who believed in destiny extremely were eventually swallowed up by destiny.

"Will those who believe in fate eventually be swallowed up by fate..."

Li Shanren looked at the golden apple that had been repaired and dyed by Rune, with complex colors in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and looked back at Altaïr and Ezio, who were waiting patiently.

"I'm sorry, I can't share what I saw with you, but I can say that it has nothing to do with the Hidden Ones,"

He then handed the Golden Apple back to Altaïr.

"Although I failed to obtain the inheritance of the Invisible One, I did activate the Golden Apple. According to the previous transaction, it has been used once."

Moreover, it was almost broken... I don't know if it was because the scene was too horrifying and the vessel could not withstand the fate it symbolized, which led to its damage.

Altaïr and Ezio looked at each other and did not take the golden apple from Li Shanren.

The two of them sat down where they were and looked at Li Shanren solemnly.

"Lord Lisern, the words you just taught us have given us great inspiration. You can even say that they have helped us to concentrate our minds again and pointed out the true path for us."

"I'm just saying some of the things I know." Li Shanren waved his hand and smiled.

"But for us, this is also a great favor, no less than your willingness to shelter us during this journey." Ezio interjected.

Altaïr looked at Li Shanren with respect. "Although I don't know why you are willing to tell us that, I know that anyone who can come up with such a theory must be a follower of freedom. Moreover... you did activate the Golden Apple just now. Even if you didn't obtain the inheritance of the Hidden Ones, at least you got the recognition of the Golden Apple."

“So, we would like to invite you to join our cause.”

"Invite me?" Li Shanren smiled and completely broke away from his previous melancholy thoughts.

He was not surprised by Altaïr's invitation, or rather, he had anticipated this development the moment he chose to express his theory to the two of them.

"Yes, even if it's just to provide us with guidance, we want you to follow us to liberate those people who are under unreasonable constraints." Ezio said nervously, "Of course, we are not forcing you to join."

Li Shanren hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think about this matter. Can I give you an answer in a few days?"

"Of course," Altaïr said immediately.

No rejection means there is hope.

Then he pulled Ezio up and said, "We will leave the golden apple with you for now. You can also try to see if you can really obtain the inheritance. We will not disturb you anymore."

After that, the two of them left the tent together, leaving Li Shanren alone in the tent to ponder.

......

During the next three days, nothing special happened, and the group headed smoothly along the kingdom's main road towards the city of Belkinworth.

They also passed a small village along the way, but unfortunately they were unable to purchase a new carriage from it, so the two slave girls had to continue following the caravan.

Of course, they could also abandon the carriage now and leave on their own.

The caravan had already traveled hundreds of miles, and it would not be easy for the slave hunters from Olin City to catch up.

However, the group of slave hunters is spread throughout the kingdom and even the entire continent. If they leave now, they may be targeted by other slave hunters.

During these days, Love and Avril became Swanna's helpers, helping to set up tents and prepare dinner when camping was needed.

In return, they could eat together and share a tent.

After all, if they don't work and just get food and tents for free, wouldn't that be like supporting two masters?

Altaïr and his companions would often help each other during their journeys. They ate and lived together every day and became more and more familiar with each other.

Upon learning that the children in the team were slaves abducted by the Order of Sloth, and then rescued by "Lisern" and temporarily adopted by him, both Altaïr and his companions, as well as the two slave girls, were very surprised.

Behavior like this is very rare even in this world.

Even if there are, most of them have impure intentions.

But Lord Lisern seemed to simply want to do this and had never asked for anything in return.

Such behavior more or less won the respect of Altaïr and others who had just joined the team and the two slave girls.

Tifa and Eivor did not tell anyone that Lisern had been marked as a slave before and then removed. They thought that this matter might involve Lisern's secrets, and talking about it casually might cause unnecessary trouble.

After learning about this, Altaïr and Ezio believed even more that "Lord Lison" supported free will, and therefore looked forward to his joining.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Shanren's advice, Artair, who was already at the top of the elite level, climbed to the gold level after sitting for a day and a night.

There was almost no movement when Altaïr broke through. He just sat quietly for a while, and then all his breath suddenly disappeared.

Only Ezio, who was sitting next to Altaïr at the time, noticed this.

He watched in amazement as Altaïr was sitting there, but neither his Eagle Vision nor his sense of the enemy's presence could detect him.

After a while, Altaïr's figure gradually faded, and even his presence could not be detected in sight. Even when Ezio tried to reach out and touch him, he could only feel air.

Silent, invisible and bodyless.

When Altaïr reappeared, he was already sitting behind Ezio. He touched the shocked young man with his hand, almost scaring him to death.

It was at that time that Altaïr calmly told Ezio that he had become a gold-level transcendent.

However, as a transcendent who inherited the legacy of the Invisible Ones, Altaïr still had to slowly explore which gold-level abilities he possessed.

But what is certain is that the basic abilities of assassins have undergone a breakthrough improvement.

Altaïr himself has been at the top of the elite level for many years and has accumulated enough. All he needs is an opportunity to break through.

However, for some extraordinary people, this opportunity may not come in their entire lifetime.

After experiencing the destruction of the Assassins' resistance and re-understanding the path he should take, Altaïr completely accepted everything about the Hidden Ones, and his ascent was a natural result.

......

During these days, almost no one came to disturb Li Shanren.

Because everyone could see that this "Lord Lisern" seemed to be carrying a heavy heart recently. He spent most of his time sitting alone in a carriage that only carried goods, letting his mysterious headless knight drive the car for him while he hid in the carriage.

Only when they stopped to rest would Alice sit quietly beside him for a while.

Occasionally, everyone could see an extremely complex expression on Lord Lisern's face, including boredom, sorrow, uneasiness, and even inexplicable anger, but after the anger, he would reveal an unpredictable sneer.

In short, despite their concerns and curiosity, no one knew what Lord Lisern was thinking.

Only Altaïr and Ezio were suspicious and wondered if it had anything to do with their invitation that night.

In the slightly bumpy carriage, Li Shanren stared at the restored blessed memory in the palm of his hand. After his expression changed from gloomy to bright, he let out a light breath and slowly put down his palm.

It has to be said that the scene he saw through the golden apple that day brought him great pressure.

Even though he has been trying to relieve this pressure in various ways, the uneasy feeling has always weighed heavily on his heart.

Especially the Skeleton King. Even though he is now far away from Olin City, based on the scene, it seems that they will have some interactions.

This left Li Shanren with an ever-present sense of crisis.

If he were to be seen by the other party again, if the other party really had the ability to make it impossible for a person to be resurrected, if the Great Rune in his hand was really taken away by the other party...

After this incident, the threat level of the Skeleton King in Li Shanren's mind was immediately raised to the top, even surpassing the Cult of Sloth.

After all, the Order of Sloth could at most give him a slave mark, not take his life.

This Skeleton King might really have a way to kill him completely.

Thinking about the huge gap between himself and the other party, if something really happened, he might not even have the strength to resist.

Under all kinds of pressure, Li Shanren had for the first time the idea of ​​improving his strength as quickly as possible at all costs in order to gain the ability to protect himself.

Otherwise, with his lazy style, he would rarely take the initiative to repair the blessed memory in advance and go to the border unless it was necessary.

"If all else fails, I can only go find the White Mask..."

Li Shanren whispered to himself, with a slight gloom on his face.
