[Assassin's Creed] Raging Seas

The deserted island where the Mollingen was temporarily stationed was full of jagged stones at a glance. In the evening, the strong wind howled from the high slope, bringing a bleak atmosphere.After landing, the crew set up simple tents and lit a bonfire.

Shay woke up, but in very bad shape.His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he seemed to be dehydrated.After the ship doctor gave him the necessary examination, he turned to Heisen with a serious expression.

"Master Kenway, Master Cormac, there is one thing I must tell you."

"Our narcotics were destroyed in the fire, and we didn't have enough antiseptic supplies."

"The risk of this surgery is very high, it is up to you whether to do it or not."

Heisen looked at Shay, the patient thought for a while, then nodded silently.

"And my assistant also died in the boat battle. I lack a pair of firm hands to help me hold the patient down."

Shay looked at Heisen.

"Master Kenway."

Hai Sen came to the hospital bed, lowered his head and asked him softly:

"Shay? Do you want me to hold it for you?"

The patient nodded lightly but clearly, looking at him with a little brilliance in his eyes.

In the evening, lights were hung in the tent, and Robert burned the surgical instruments under the candlelight.The sea breeze was howling outside the tent, but there was a dead silence inside, the wind lantern flickered, and the flames danced. Xie Yi sat up supporting himself and asked for a bottle of strong wine. He took several sips before lying down again.

Heisen helped him take off his shirt and licked his chest.He saw a shocking scar on his chest, and Heisen knew that it was left to him by his former classmates on the night of his betrayal.

He pressed his shoulder with one hand to prevent him from struggling, and pressed his chest with the other, feeling the heart beating continuously under his palm, hot and hot.

The blade, which was reddened by the flames, slowly cut into the skin, cutting off the rotten flesh around the wound. Shay didn't say a word, but tightly grasped the bed board, digging deep into the wood with his nails.

Even though Hai Sen had seen too many bloody scenes, he still felt terrified to observe the operation so intuitively.

The sharp blade ran on his skin, and Shay bit his lip until his lips were bitten, and the mouth was full of the smell of blood.I don't know if he touched some nerve, which made him straighten up suddenly, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Don't look, Shay, don't look..."

Heisen had to use more force to hold him down, and covered his eyes with a piece of gauze.

The bright red blood had flowed out, and thick black blood slowly seeped out. Seeing that the incision was enough, Robert inserted the forceps into it, and began to stir and explore inside.

The veins on the man's forehead popped out, his throat throbbed, he couldn't help letting out a weak moan, and suddenly grabbed Hai Sen's wrist with his backhand.

He grasped so tightly, as if every blood vessel seemed to be fused in, and every phalanx seemed to be inlaid with his, exposing the whitish joints forcefully.

Hai Sen held him back with the same strength, making the two identical rings tightly bound together.The man calmed down inexplicably under his comfort, his chest heaved, and then, tears slowly soaked the gauze.

At that moment, Hai Sen only felt that a storm swept through his heart, and suddenly there seemed to be an impulse to go with him even though there was hell in front of him.

The first bullet was dug out, and was thrown into the iron basin with a bang, followed by the second, and the third...

The tent was as silent as death, only the sound of heavy breathing rang around, and it was already midnight when the ship doctor took out all the bullets and the wound was stitched up.It seemed that holding back the pain had exhausted all the energy, the hand let go of Heisen, and it slowly fell down, while his whole body fell into a final, deep coma.

Hai Sen looked at him quietly, this silent but full of cruel and desolate night also exhausted all his energy.He just wanted to raise his hand to wipe his sweat, but found that the wrist that Shay had pinched had become numb at some point.

"MasterKenway, I've done everything I can. As for whether he survives or not, it depends on luck."

The ship's doctor reported to him, but Hai Sen was in a daze, and didn't know what he finally said to him.He thought of the sentence that was always on the lips of Shay. If Shay was still awake, he would definitely reply "My luck is up to me" when he heard this sentence.

When he walked out of the tent, it was already twilight in the sky, and the east was already white.All the crew gathered together and surrounded this small tent.

"ended."

Heisen said that there was neither deep sorrow nor obvious joy on his face, but a calm like stagnant water and deep exhaustion.He looked around coldly, his eyes swept over those silent, longing and hopeful faces one by one, and then he repeated it slowly.

"ended."

He slowly came to the shore, and saw a big lump of Connor sitting by the campfire not far away.

Heisen came to sit opposite him, and Connor glanced at the bruise on his wrist, turned his face away without saying anything, and focused on dealing with the things he cooked on the campfire.

The aroma of meat wafted out quickly, and only then did Heisen realize that he hadn't eaten for a whole day.

"...I'm not a good leader, I'm not even a good father."

he said slowly.

"I shouldn't have let you join the Assassins."

"When your mother was driving me away, I didn't know she was pregnant with you."

"I should keep you by my side and not let you join any organization."

............

However, the current situation is turbulent, and everyone is a duckweed in the tide of history, so how can they control themselves.

"I had a dream."

After an unknown amount of time, Connor said sullenly.

"I saw a man in my dream. He said his name was Desmond. He told me to go to a place."

"He said it was a relic where he could take me back to 1776."

"He showed me what it looks like. I've been to that place, it's in our village, and I used to play hide-and-seek with my friends when I was young."

............

Heisen slowly remembered that it was the place where he had skin-to-skin contact with Canecchio for the first time.

What a distant memory that was, so far away...that it blurred even for a person who had never lost his memory.

He still remembered his disappointment when he found that there wasn't what he needed, but the woman's kiss made up for it.

However, he didn't tell Connor all this.

He didn't laugh at Connor's Arabian Nights, nor did he laugh at him for believing in a dream; he had seen the magic of the ruins, so in the end he just said lightly:

"When I catch up with the Vulcan, I will ask Xie to take you back."

On the first night after the operation, Heisen was by Shay's side, and Shay was always very quiet.He sat across from his hospital bed throughout the night, listening to the rhythmic breathing of the man, feeling inexplicably at ease.

I don't know what turned off the wind lamp, dawn has awakened, and the sun is gradually shining in.

"This time, I'm afraid you will never be able to catch up with the Vulcan again."

A somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed, but Hai Sen didn't answer immediately, he just turned over a page of the illustration book in his hand, and said leisurely:

"How long have you been looking at me like this?"

"you guess."

"From when I first picked up this book."

"......how do you know."

At this moment, Xie Yi looked at him, and couldn't help swallowing the words several times, and finally he had been preparing for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"When we were trapped on the island, even if I was the one who was injured that day, you wouldn't abandon me, would you?"

Hearing that Hai Sen finally closed the book, he shook his head helplessly.

"If I knew you were in such trouble later, let alone the island, I shouldn't have dragged you from that tavern to the boat in the first place."

"Is it that difficult to admit that you care?"

On the second day, Xie Yi's complexion gradually became normal, and the wound healed quickly, and the recovery speed surprised even the ship's doctor.This man of humble origin has a vitality that cannot be underestimated.

On the third day, they returned to Mollingen; on the fifth day, Shay was able to eat normally, and Heisen locked him into the captain's cabin to prevent him from running around on the deck, but the man yelled that he was bored, Heisen I had no choice but to bring him a stack of books.

"...Let me die on the operating table."

Shay rolled his eyes toward the cabin roof, and threw the dead body on the bed.

"I'll watch it with you."

Heisen sat cross-legged across from him,

"If I finish reading a book, what reward can you give me?"

"Um......"

Heisen thought about it seriously.

"Maybe after you go back, I will also promote you to be a regimental leader?"

"real or fake!"

Xie Yi almost jumped out of the bed when he got excited, and then lay down on the ground screaming at the wound. During the whole process, Heisen looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, sighed and took out the thinnest book from the pile of books and threw it to him.

"...If you find it boring, start reading this book first."

Shay tugged at the book sullenly, and suddenly thought of a question.

"Haytham."

"Ok?"

"Have you any such book?"

"What kind of book?"

"It's the kind of... uh, the kind of book that men can read, with pictures."

"......"

Heisen raised his head and watched him silently.

"......"

"Don't look at me with that look, I don't believe you haven't seen it."

They never saw the Vulcan again this time.

On the seventh day, a red owl landed on the ship's side of the Mollingen. Hai Sen recognized it as a letter from the temple headquarters, and quickly caught it and took off the anklet, only to find a note inside.

The information on the note was written using specific symbols, and the content was very brief. It only said that the aboriginal villages in Boston were hit by fire one after another, which made him temporarily give up looking for the Precursor Box and go back to investigate immediately.

After reading it, Hai Sen threw the note into the sea.

They have experienced so much and risked their lives several times, but in the end it was nothing.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a kind of deep exhaustion rising from the bottom of his heart.He raised his head and looked at the sky, only to feel that the Vulcan, the forerunner, and the relics were all like floating clouds in the sky.

He looked at Shay who was not far away. The man had already recovered, and he was standing under the full sail, beating the rhythm of the boat song while steering the helm.The sea breeze blew his short braids, and the red headband fluttered in the wind.

The night was already very deep, and the vast starlight was scattered in the night. The Mollingan had turned and was sailing in the direction they came from.

Xie held the steering wheel with both hands, and the night wind blew his clothes up. He hadn't touched the steering wheel of Molingen for so long, and he couldn't bear to let it go.At this time everything was quiet, he stood under the vast sky, looking at the vast sea under the moonlight, couldn't help singing his favorite boat song.

"As I walked down through Chatham Street,

Afairmaid Idid meet.

Sheaskedmetoseeherhome,

Shelived in Bleeker Street.

Andaway you Santy,

My dear Annie,

Ohyou NewYorkgirls,

Can't you dance the polka"

............

Soon he saw Hai Sen not far away, the man didn't say anything, he just walked up to the helm slowly, came to his side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"It seems that you can go back to your New York girl again."

"Yeah, this time, there are a lot of things to talk about with them."

Hai Sen laughed and stopped talking. Under the vast sky, he suddenly reached out to caress his hand holding the steering wheel.Those hands had long since lost their beauty like jade carvings due to years of fighting, but they had correspondingly acquired a detached concentration, as cold as iron.

They intertwined their fingers, and under the moonlight, the black-haired man raised his face, and the words he uttered seriously seemed like a lifelong oath.

"...I will definitely chase that ship for you, the ends of the earth, and find what you want for you."

After speaking, he leaned forward and put this promise into his mouth.

And ahead of them, where the seagulls circled, was the mainland.After the Nova Scotia peninsula, America is Boston.

Prosperous like brocade, prosperous like a dream.

Although nothing was gained from this voyage, Xie Yi knew that in his heart, there were indeed some things that remained on the boundless sea forever, and remained in this journey.

The ruins of the pioneers in America are located in a cave. When walking on the road, Heisen couldn't help touching the fine lines on the stone wall, and he suddenly seemed to see Canezio.

What a familiar place this is... The prophecy of the past coincides with today's astrology, and the wheels of fate overlap and overlap, pointing to the original trajectory in the dark.

Connor, who was originally born here, is now leaving him here, going to a time and space that he doesn't know yet.

"Aren't you going to see your mother? It's 1760 and she might still be there."

Connor, however, just shook his head.

"No, the situation over there is urgent, what's more, even if I go, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.

They finally reached the depths of the cave, and Heisen took off the amulet and pressed it into the groove.

A slight change suddenly occurred on the originally flat stone wall. At first, there were only faint light and shadows, and then countless strong golden lights suddenly burst out, like sharp wheat awns.In front of them, a corridor with no end was suddenly opened.

In this grand light, Heisen raised his face to look at his only child, and saw that the perseverance in himself and the bravery and stubbornness in Canecchio overlapped in his brown eyes, they are so The resemblance of each other is suddenly the reflection of each other in the long river of time and space.

During the few days they were together, at the beginning they seldom spoke because of the tense relationship, and in the later period, the situation was so full that they had no time to talk. At this time, they were about to part, and in the end they could only sigh.

And in the future, who can say for sure?

Leave everything to time.

It's just that I don't know what it will be like when we meet again 20 years later. Connor is still the same now, and I am afraid that he is already old.

"You saved me once. If you are in trouble after we meet again, I will not stand by."

"From now on, whether we are against each other or not, I will be proud of you."

However, Connor just stared at him. For the first time, this reticent young man had the urge to talk out, but when the words came to his lips, he only left one sentence.

"...When you meet me again in 20 years, please be careful."

After speaking, he stepped onto the long corridor without looking back, the light gradually gathered behind him, and he finally disappeared at the end of the light.It was only a moment of light and darkness, but it took away 20 years of time.

After a long time, the stone wall had already returned to its original state, and Hai Sen turned around slowly, meeting Xie Yi's gaze.

Shay stared at Heisen, and at that moment, he only felt that a soft place in his heart was touched.It was as if countless distant and secret memories spewed out from my heart, and before my eyes were scenes of two people walking hand in hand through gunfire and life and death, like a magnificent poem without sound.

Without saying any more, he took a few steps to hug him, lowered his head and searched for his lips indiscriminately.Heisen didn't resist, they kissed indulgently, desperately and urgently.In the haste, Shay's hair fell down, and he desperately sucked and demanded in Heisen's mouth, with a longing and almost painful expression on his face.

I don't know how long it took for the two to separate, and both were a little out of breath.After the breath calmed down, Shay took off his coat and placed it behind Heisen, letting him lie down.

There is nothing left between heaven and earth, only each other's breath is entangled, and every inch of skin rises with a temperature that can burn everything at the moment of contact.

Hot and humid water vapor floats in the air, sweat evaporates and condenses on the skin one by one, making the world humid.Hai Sen caressed his chest, only to see the wound left by that operation, now only a shallow scar remained.He looked up at the complicated patterns on the top of the cave in a trance, and suddenly let out a sigh from the bottom of his chest. It was probably the meaning of this.

Shay put his cheek on the man's neck, panting slightly, every time he penetrated, it seemed to give him everything of himself, and every collision seemed to dedicate the rest of his life to him.The two forgot the ups and downs, honor and disgrace, life and death and their homeland, tearing their souls wantonly on the land of a foreign land.

Since there is no other salvation, let's embrace each other in the dark

"I'll come to you when I find the box."

Seagulls circled the tops of the masts, and the sea breeze blew the robes of the travelers like flags waving.When we parted, Shay stood on the side of the boat and yelled at the people on the shore.The Maureen Gen sailed slowly, and the huge elite red sails slid down. From then on, it was another journey with no end in sight.

After this farewell, one of them will stay in Boston, while the other will go to France. Since then, the journey has been long and the sea is vast, but you and I are far apart.

"it is good."

Standing under the steps with his hands behind his back, Hai Sen only nodded at him and said.

Mo Lingen slowly set sail, and Xie seemed to have suddenly remembered something and wanted to say it eagerly, but at that moment, he suddenly looked away.

He felt as if he had returned to the scene when he went to sea with his father for the first time: the sea breeze filled the sails, the boat songs echoed in his ears, and the horn of victory resounded through the sky.The spirit buried in his veins is calling him from the depths of the sea to explore and conquer.

It has been four full years since he fled in embarrassment from the place he once regarded as his home.In the past four years, the shadow of killing his comrades in the past has never faded from his side. These nightmares are destined to haunt him for the rest of his life, but he has no regrets.He has already regarded the future of the temple as his belief, and perhaps what he needs in his life is the guidance of such a belief.However, on top of that, there are still other things, such as family affection, such as love, these are the burdens in his life that are difficult to let go.

In this world, there is no way to achieve both. Once the temple is built, it will eventually lose one side.

However, in this world, as long as there is one person who still remembers me, it is worth it; even though you are wandering thousands of miles and fighting in the raging sea, you are still taking refuge in your heart somewhere.

Finish

The author has something to say:

Thanks to all the girls who saw this, here are the following explanations for this article :)

1. In Chapter 3 of this article, Connor said that he did not see the portrait of Shay on the basement wall of the Davenport home, see the first section of AC3Chapter 5.

2. "You saved me once. If you are in trouble after we meet again, I will not stand by." The sentence of Heisen in the final chapter corresponds to the game Chapter 8. Heisen throws a flying knife from the execution ground and cuts the rope to save Connor.

3. It turns out that there is an extra episode, you can search for "[Assassin's Creed] Wasteland Snow".

Finally, thanks again to the girls, thank you for your encouragement and affirmation; the writing is rough, if there is any inappropriateness, please bear with me.
