I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

"This was placed here a year ago." Hoover walked over and looked at the statue.

Including the stone platform, the statue is at least nearly three meters tall. Everyone has to look up at him when they come here.

“He was the origin of the fraternity, the original mentor.

The craftsmen have been carving intermittently for more than half a year. They are very careful and want to restore the charm of the mentor as much as possible. "

Cage nodded, but couldn't help but look at the outline of the face.

His memory was very good, and he was sure that he had definitely seen a similar face.

But it seemed that because it was not completed, he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

The carver was squatting in front of the stone platform at the moment, using a hammer and chisel to carve something on the stone platform, which seemed to be a string of words.

"What is he carving?" Cage asked.

"Creed." Hoover whispered in a low voice, "The creed that everyone in the Brotherhood will implement to the end was also taught by this mentor."

When they entered, about twenty or thirty men and women wearing assassin uniforms also walked into the entrance behind them. Seven or eight of them stood in a queue, facing the unfinished statue in the middle.

The assassins who brought them in stood on both sides.

Hoover also pulled Cage aside.

"This is an initiation ceremony," Hoover explained. "It is presided over by the mentor and takes the oath of formal joining the fraternity."

Several assassins lit all the torches in the secret room, and the flickering firelight illuminated the dark basement red.

Hei Lang stood in front of them and glanced at everyone present.

"I think that since you have come here, you have overcome many tests and stood in front of me.

You should have no confusion in your mind about your future.

What I am going to say next are the words of advice given to me by my mentor.

His words stuck in my heart and became our dogma.

I hope you will engrav these words in your souls forever and pass them on forever. "

Hei Lang's face was very serious and his articulation was very clear.

"While others blindly pursue the truth and reality, remember-"

"Everything is empty." The other assassins around him said together.

The resonance of the voices of dozens of people made it seem as if the entire secret room was vibrating.

"While others are bound by laws and morals, remember—"

"All things are permitted."

"Walking in darkness and serving light, we are"

Everyone, including the group of members who joined the club, also answered the question at this moment.

"Assassin!"

The shadow of the hood obscured their faces, but those pairs of eyes were extremely clear in the darkness.

"All things are false, all things are permitted"

Cage watched all this absentmindedly, silently reciting this creed in his heart, and the fire in his heart burned with it for some unknown reason.

"Okay, you go up." Heilang said, "Before going to the church, do the final branding."

The assassins who had just joined the association nodded and left one after another.

"Heilang, I also want to join the brotherhood."

Cage walked up directly and said.

Hei Lang was not surprised by this, he smiled and said, "Of course, the Brotherhood welcomes all like-minded people to join.

However, whether you can become an assassin depends on whether you can sustain the rigorous training. "

Cage nodded seriously.

"Then let's wait until everything is over." Hei Lang murmured softly.

He looked around, and several main members of the brotherhood were surrounding him.

Hei Lang began to slowly tell them about his experience, and at the same time told Cage's guess.

Hoover nodded and said in agreement, "That makes sense.

Mentor, I will send someone to guard Lorelai right now. "

"It's too late, I will take people there myself." Heilang looked at Hoover, "And you, Hoover, you stay in the manor if we don't come back.

You continue to recuperate and continue the spirit of the brotherhood. "

Hoover was stunned. When he realized what Heilang was going to do, he said anxiously, "Mentor!"

"There is no room for maneuver in this matter." Hei Lang whispered.

He looked at Hoover, his bright eyes like candlelight swaying in the wind.

“Your family’s fields were occupied by nobles, you lost your source of livelihood and fell into the abyss.

When I found you, your mother and wife were starving to death.

After I rescued you, you cried and told me that you never wanted to see that scene again.

Now, is your sentence still useful? "

Hoover fell silent, with a slight struggle on his face.

"Pass on the creed." Hei Lang solemnly asked, seemingly speaking to Hoover and the assassins around him.

"Until the day the world no longer needs the Brotherhood."

He looked to one side and said, "Hagu."

"Yes." Hagu stood up from the crowd. He was also one of the three people who participated in the Headless Horseman incident and was also the elder of the Brotherhood.

"Choose thirty people and let's go to Lorelei together."

"Yes!" Hagu nodded again and again.

Then he turned around and walked out of here, preparing to arrange the horses.

That night, they hurried to Lorelei.

Lorelai's place is in the middle and upper reaches of the Rhine River, so they can't pass by water and can only go by land, so this is why Hei Lang is so anxious.

The people from the cult may have been waiting there for a long time, and Cage, who had cracked the key riddle, naturally followed the team, because his solution may be needed later.

They probably rode along the Rhine River overnight for several days, and finally arrived near Lorelai's slate on the night of the third day.

"Look."

Hagu pointed into the distance. Through the moonlight, they could clearly see that many tents had been set up on the desolate slate rocks at unknown times, and a group of people wearing dark blue cloaks were walking among them.

On the river, many ships were docked, and craftsmen were building a large crane on the shore, which was used to hoist the diving bell.

It was a large, heavy, solid and bottomless barrel-shaped device, resembling a large bell.

By placing the diving bell vertically into the water, the air pressure principle will prevent water from entering the bell and "trap" enough air for the diver to breathe for several hours.

This method requires a large boat, a lifting cable, and more than three divers to operate at the same time and has a limited range of activities.

In addition, they also brought a bucket-shaped submersible, which was an air bucket covered with fur and reinforced with a glass viewing window, and two gloves.

These are already the most advanced diving equipment of this era.

They lowered their bodies, hiding themselves in the grass, slowly approaching, and finally stopped not far away.

They looked at the camp not far away and the divers who were constantly diving to try to find clues at the bottom of the river.
