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

At night, the moon disappears without a trace, and the sky is filled with stars like a sea, presenting a magnificent scene in the wilderness far away from the town.

Li Shanren sat cross-legged on a relatively flat slope, looking at the vast stars in silence.

Among those countless stars, perhaps there is one that is his hometown that he can never return to.

"Lord Lisern, we are here."

A calm voice sounded from behind.

"Well, sit down."

Then, two figures in assassin robes walked around to Li Shanren and sat down cross-legged.

The three of them formed a triangle, with no distinction between high and low, no respect for superiority or inferiority, and they all lived together as equals.

After sitting quietly for a while, Li Shanren straightened his back and looked at the two of them seriously.

"I'm sure you can guess that I'm here to give you an answer."

After saying this, he took out the golden apple from his waist bag and slowly placed it on the snow in the middle.

Altair looked at Li Shanren as usual, without saying anything, and waited quietly for a reply.

The younger Ezio could vaguely see a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"First of all, I'm very happy that you are willing to recognize what I said the other day." Li Shanren said seriously, "Secondly, I have thought about your invitation for a long time."

"We do have some things in common. For example, I also hate the Cult of Sloth. If I have the chance, I would not mind destroying them and removing the shackles they have imposed on people."

"We can also agree on some points, such as freedom."

"but......"

Li Shanren paused for a moment and continued:

"I am not suited to be an assassin, nor will I choose to change my job to become an assassin. Moreover, I have not been able to truly accept the inheritance of the Invisible Ones. This is the biggest difference between me and you."

"If you're looking for an assassin companion, I don't think I'd be a good fit."

Hearing this, Ezio's eyes grew a little sad.

Altaïr exhaled lightly and said with a hint of regret: "I understand."

"But I don't mean to reject you completely."

Li Shanren's next words stunned the two of them.

"I can establish a new assassin organization with you, but I have some conditions. Unless it is necessary, I will not participate in your assassin activities, including but not limited to assassinating targets, gathering intelligence, or even recruiting new members."

"At the same time, most of the time I have my own things to do, and I may not always pay attention to your development."

"In the organization, I will provide you with certain financial support and guidance on the organizational structure. I am also willing to discuss free thoughts with you and provide certain suggestions for your development when you need them."

"I will not be your new leader, let alone your supreme leader. I believe that after what happened with the Archbishop of Sloth, you no longer need someone to control and restrict you in everything."

"If you are willing to accept me as I am, then I can join your assassin organization."

After listening carefully, Altaïr and Ezio breathed a sigh of relief.

"We completely agree with what you said, and even some of the conditions are what we hope for."

In fact, if Lord Lisern asked to take charge of all affairs of the Assassin Organization, they would consider whether to accept him.

"Okay, in that case, from today on, we are partners standing on the same front. I will also officially play my role."

Li Shanren smiled lightly.

"I think we can first establish the name of the assassin organization we are about to establish, as well as our common goals, the rules we should abide by, and... the ideas and creeds we believe in."

"Are...are we in such a hurry?" Ezio seemed unprepared. He did not expect things to develop to this point.

“Some of the most basic things can be established first. Anyway, these things have to be done sooner or later. If there are things that need to be modified later, we can discuss them slowly.” Li Shanren said.

"I think that since the organization we founded is fighting for freedom, there is no need to use too many things to constrain everyone in the organization except for the most basic rules."

"As I said before, everything is false and everything is permitted. Even the most detailed rules are meaningless if no one follows them. Even the most absurd things, if we find them to be correct after layers of verification, we should not restrict them with conservative ideas."

Ezio's eyes showed a thoughtful look when he heard this. "Everything is false, everything is permitted... can it be understood this way?"

"Nothing should be set in stone in the face of free thought," Altaïr warned, then looked at Lee Sun-in, "I agree with you. Some things should be established early on."

"I hope that we can maintain this atmosphere in the future." Li Shanren looked at Altair approvingly. "An organization like ours should not have an absolute leader. Any decision should be discussed and communicated, not dictatorial. Even for those who join us later, we should respect their opinions."

"After all, no one can say that their ideas are necessarily right. More often than not, it is best for us to bring out our own ideas and verify and collide with each other, which may lead us to the right path."

"In such an organization, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Everyone is a brother and partner who gathers together for the same goal and ideal. I think such an organization should be called..."

"The Assassin Brotherhood."

"The Assassin Brotherhood..."

Altaïr and Ezio savored the name.

Li Shanren waited quietly for a few seconds, then raised his hand and said, "Now, let's vote by raising hands. Those who agree with this name can raise their hands, and those who disagree can also express their opinions."

Altaïr and Ezio silently raised their left hands, seemingly unable to think of a better name.

It is also possible that to them, no name matters.

"Very good." Li Shanren smiled faintly, "Congratulations on completing the first meeting decision of the Assassin Brotherhood. I suggest that if there are any issues and decisions that need to be discussed in the future, we should follow this model, so that we can collect everyone's opinions to the greatest extent."

"But Lord Lisern..." Ezio couldn't help but ask, "What if there are many people in the future? Do we have to raise our hands to make decisions like this?"

"If you think too many people will affect decision-making, then we can divide everyone into small meeting groups. After each group has discussed a result, they can elect a representative to attend a higher-level meeting and finally make a decision. Of course, this method is only suitable for major resolutions and discussions. If it is just a trivial matter, there is no need to discuss it slowly like this."

Li Shanren said with confidence.

Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "However, considering our current size, it is still a bit too far-fetched to think about such a thing. At least when we only have enough people to hold a small meeting, this form of voting by raising hands can be adopted temporarily. If there is a need in the future, we can change it again."

"I see. My thinking has become rigid." Ezio said awkwardly.

“No, since you can think about the future and raise questions, it means that you look at things with a forward-looking perspective rather than a static one. This is very good.” Li Shanren said with a faint smile.

In the next few hours, they carefully discussed various matters related to the establishment of the Assassin's Brotherhood, and slowly determined all the basic things, including the goals, creeds, basic rules, etc. mentioned by Li Shanren, and even the basic structure of the Assassin's Brotherhood.

Although Li Shanren said that there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates in the Assassin Brotherhood, the necessary assassin levels must be established.

This is not to form top-down control, but to better divide the work and coordinate.

For example, it is impossible to let a trainee assassin who has just joined the organization to carry out difficult and dangerous tasks. Only with the corresponding level can it be easier for him to develop and grow better and for the old to guide the new.

The currently established assassin levels range from the initial apprentice assassin, to the junior assassin, to the elite assassin... There are a total of six levels. The final level is changed from the title of "Master of the Invisibles" to "Master Assassin".

"Then...what should we call you?" Ezio looked at Li Shanren in confusion. "Strictly speaking, you are not an assassin."

Li Shanren smiled.

"Indeed, I am just someone who provides certain guidance or direction to the Brotherhood. Why not...just call me a mentor. Within the organization, I am called the 'Assassin Mentor'."

......

Messianic year 5046.

In a snowy area in the south-central part of the Kingdom of Jonia, the Assassin's Brotherhood was officially established, following the Invisible Ones and the Assassin's Resistance Order, which inherited the former's legacy.

An alien magician named "Lisern" served as the first assassin mentor.

This is where it all begins.
