Chapter 19: Darkness as Ever
A few months later, in an inn in Forlì.
"Hi Leonardo, how are you doing?" Ezio arrived at the inn, where Leonardo was lying flat on his bed.
"Oh, Ezio, it's you, Eun's wound has healed completely, it's really an unpleasant memory, by the way, Ezio, did you find that pass?" Leonardo got up and asked this.
"Alas, don't mention it, I didn't find it at all, I originally planned to steal it, but I didn't expect that now I don't even have this pass." Ezio said with some discouragement.
"Well, what is Ezio going to do now?" Leonardo expressed great regret.
"Forget it, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to my mentor for help, he should have a way, anyway, the bridge has been repaired now, and there are no soldiers in ambush." Ezio also looked away, and the Municipal Food Bureau said.
"yes, well, by the way, Ezio hasn't said thank you yet, thank you for saving my life, Ezio." Leonardo thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"No, don't say that, you were originally affected by me, and I should have saved you, and if it were you, you would do the same." Ezio said.
"I'm skeptical! Fighting is not my forte, anyway I owe you a kiss, brother, if your mentor can't do it, I'll let that nobleman give you a pass, I think I still have this face. Leonardo said.
"Thanks, Leonardo, the ship is about to leave, I'll send you."
Just as Ezio and Leonardo reached the docks, a female voice rang in their ears.
"Don't be stupid! I need help! ”
Ezio heard this, and looked at the owner of the voice, and then saw a figure standing on a rock, surrounded by water, and a small boat at some distance from the shore wall, apparently because the owner of the boat had not parked the boat, and the boat was drifting away from the rock.
Ezio shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the boat docked beside him, and when he boarded the boat, he paddled it like a rock.
"Oh! My God! Please, I need help! Help! The woman's voice screamed louder and louder.
"Ma'am." Ezio docked the ship to the lady.
"Oh, you're so kind, and I think you must be very popular with the ladies." The lady said, looking at Ezio.
"Me? No, I don't think there's anything fascinating about me, I just like to help people in need. Ezio escaped.
"That's what makes you fascinating, what's your name?" said the lady.
"Auditore, but please call me Ezio, beautiful lady." Ezio said.
"My name is Caterina, Ezio, and in return for your selfless help to me... Caterina said.
"Maybe you really have something to help me, do you have a pass to Venice? I want to go to Venice. Ezio said to Caterina.
"Hehe, this matter is easy to do, leave it to me." Caterina said with a smile.
Then Ezio and Caterina reached the shore, and Caterina spoke to the inspector who had gone to Venice.
"Yes, sir, you can say whatever you want, my lord," the inspector said with a grovel.
"Okay, I'll take care of everything for you, and he won't stop you anymore." Caterina said to Ezio.
"Thank you, Katarina." Ezio thanked.
"Maybe we'll meet again in the future・・・・・・ and if you're here in Forlì, I'll be honored to invite you to be your guest." Caterina said.
"Yes, then I'll be looking forward to your invitation, goodbye Katarina." Ezio said
"Goodbye, Ezio." Caterina finished speaking and walked away, without the slightest delay.
On a moving ship.
"Be careful, Ezio, do you know who she is?"
"Katerina, what's wrong with a beautiful lady? Leonardo? ”
"Her name is Caterina Sforza, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Milan, and the key is her husband..."
"Her husband?" Ezio was puzzled
"Yes, her husband is a lord of Forlì, and this woman is no less powerful and dangerous than her youth and beauty." Leonardo said.
"Hehe, I'm a person who has a wife, and you've seen my wife, who is talking about beauty..."
Ezio and Leonardo set out on their way to Venice, which was already 1481 by the time they arrived.
"You're Leonardo da Vinci?"
Not long after Ezio and Leonardo disembarked, a young man's voice asked beside them.
"Yes, you are?" Leonardo asked, confused.
"Hello sir, my name is Alves da Vilantino, and my master sent me to take you to your studio, are you ready now?" Alves said.
"Yes, we're ready, you lead the way." Leonardo said.
"Ahh Venice! What place could be more serene, more beautiful, and more perfect! Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the beauty of Venice, the first stop is the Rialto Bridge, and below her is the Grand Canal, which is the symbol and pride of Venice. Alves said, but obviously he wasn't a good tour guide.
"The second stop is here, the church of St. James of Riodo, the oldest church in Venice! Beautiful, right? Look at her bell tower? How beautiful and charming! Come here, there's a better one here. Now this is the third stop, the largest and largest market in Venice, where you can buy oriental spices, silks, etc., you can buy everything..." Alves said, but then his voice faded away.
"You should stay at home."
Not far from Ezio's side, a group of Venetian soldiers threatened a small fish merchant with weapons.
"Why, I've paid the full amount of taxes, and I have the right to do business in it." The little merchant said angrily to the Venetian soldiers.
"Hmph, Emilio didn't say you could do business here." The Venetian soldiers used their weapons to destroy the goods and stalls of small merchants as they spoke, in the image of an ancient city manager.
"No, no, stop, stop." The little businessman said bitterly.
"Well, let's go, there are still places ahead that haven't been introduced." Alves looked like he didn't care about himself, and pulled Leonardo out of here quickly.
"Wait, Ezio, look at this! This thing is awesome, isn't it, can you help me pay for it first, I didn't have my wallet with me in my bag. As he walked past a small shop, Leonardo stopped and picked up a model of a doll and talked excitedly like a child holding his beloved toy.
Just as Ezio was about to take out his wallet, a group of people hurriedly ran past Ezio, and one of them even knocked him down.
"Hey, watch out for idiots." Ezio said like the man who had hit him, and the man turned around and looked at Ezio before running away, while Ezio took out his wallet and bought the doll model.
"The fourth stop, the Saita Palace (PS: some people also call it the Silk Palace), this is the residence of Emio Barbarig, usually I build yì to walk in and take a look, but now for some reason, now..." Alves said with a helpless look.
"Why? Is something wrong? Ezio asked quickly.
"Because Emilio intends to unite all the shops under his own banner, many people oppose it, and because of this, there are frequent riots now." Alves said.
"What kind of turmoil is it?" Ezio asked again.
"The rebels say they're for the people, for freedom or something, and if I say they're doing boring things." Alves said in a sarcastic tone, clearly disdainful of the rebels.
Ezio could only shake his head helplessly at his ridicule, and at this time, Ezio's eyes happened to see the scene taking place in the Seta Palace.
"Those soldiers ruined my stall, and I need an explanation." The small merchant who had destroyed his stall was inside the Saita Palace and said to the brave soldiers who were guarding.
"Hehe, that's the explanation." The brave soldier punched the small merchant in the stomach, and the appearance of the small merchant lying on the ground was obviously a lot of force.
"Ahem, the lord will know about this, and I will report it to the people of the council as well!" The little merchant said viciously, apparently he had not experienced this dark society and did not know that he would not die if he did not die.
"yes, then we can only wish you good luck." One of the guards sneered, and behind him came two soldiers with weapons.
"Wait, what are you doing here?" The little merchant asked in horror as they set it up.
"You've been arrested for disrupting the market!"
"What? Disrupting the market? Did you invent it? I have never heard of it, and I don't know about it! The little merchant shouted, continuing his work, but he was clearly right.
"Now it's there!" The soldier was angry and dragged the small merchant inside.
"No, don't." The little merchant shouted in despair, he already knew what was going to happen to him.
Seeing this scene, Ezio also said inexplicably: "Sure enough, this world is full of darkness. ”
Ezio's words silenced the other two for a while.
The atmosphere of silence lasted until Alves brought Ezio and Leonardo to his studio.
"Well, Monsieur da Vinci, this is your studio, and although we don't have much money to finish it, it's almost there, and you see how beautiful it is, and I wish you great success in Venice." Alves left immediately.
"We've arrived, how awesome! Isn't it, do you want to come in and have a look. Leonardo invited.
"No, I'll be here to visit in a while, and now I need to go to the Seta Palace for a 'deep conversation' with Emilio." Ezio refused.
"That's right, then whatever you want, wait until you're free, or if you have a new secret page, please be sure to come, don't bother, I'll always welcome you."
"Thanks, man."
Then Ezio and Leonardo came to a hug full of 'affection'.

The following are words that have nothing to do with the content of the article, just take a look at those who are interested, and it doesn't matter if you are not interested.
First of all, I would like to thank Citey for rewarding me with 100 starting coins, you are the first person to reward me, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks!
In the comment about the 140515140129236 of book friends, I also express my gratitude first, and then it is your kind reminder, I personally feel that it doesn't matter about the title of the book, anyway, there are a lot of strange names now, so don't care about this little thing! And then there's the relationship you said about the conflict is not strong.,Actually, I know about the author.,But it's not clear that it's because the game itself is not strong in the sense of conflict in "Assassin's Creed 2", or because the author's own writing is not good.,I'm only able to write like this here.,Because the author I'm also writing for the first time.,It's not good to write! Thank you for your understanding!
In fact, the author I wrote Assassin's Creed 2 because I liked the Ezio character in it, so I wrote it, if you are interested, you can play the Ezio trilogy in Assassin's Creed 2, and what I want to write in Assassin's Creed 2 has basically been written, so it will probably be written faster, and the real protagonist Chen Xiaoyao will not be playing soy sauce.
The last is the news about everyone's friendship.,Hehe.,Actually, I'm really happy to be the author.,So many people pay attention to me.,But I also said before.,I'm likely to give up the pit.,So this thing is still waiting.,I hope you don't get weird.。
The other thing that makes me wonder the most is, why can't I reply to you directly in the comments?!
Did I open it the wrong way?!
In the next ten doubts?!
(⊙v⊙)?
