Chapter 12: The Use of Leaps of Faith
"Everyone's here, but I really didn't expect Mario to be coming, I thought you should be celebrating with those mercenaries now."
Chen stood on the roof of the Auditore estate and, rarely, did not wear a veil or hat on his body.
"Well, beautiful Chen, don't look at me like this, but I'm also the leader of the Assassins in Italy, and as a qualified leader of the Assassins, of course, I also need to know the full tenets of the Assassins."
Mario stared blankly at Chen Xiaoyao, the goddess who was bathed in the early morning sunshine and did not wear a veil or hat, which completely showed that she seemed to have strayed into the mortal world, and said for a while.
Indeed, just looking at Mario's appearance and figure, it is estimated that it is very likely that no one will mistake Mario for a bandit or a bandit instead of thinking of him as an assassin.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, I think Giovanni and Mario, you two should know that according to some ancient documents, the most recent Assassin organization is the Assassin organization in the Maciaf region that is about two to three hundred years away."
The Assassin Order is arguably the birthplace of the modern Assassin Order, and they are also the heirs of the original Assassin Creed. The original Assassin's Creed was based on three things, the first of which was not to do anything that harmed the interests of the Order. The second point: not to kill innocent people, of course, there is another way of saying not to harm civilians. The third point: to hide in the dark, which means to keep a low profile and concealment. ”
These three were the original Assassin's Creed, but later there was a legendary Master Assassin, Altaïr ibn La'Ahad, who spent his life altering, or more accurately, adding three new and ironic Assassin Creeds: First, we strive to promote peace, but killing is our means. Rule 2: We strive to enlighten people's minds, but we are required to obey a teacher and the tenets of the rules. Article 3: We seek to expose the dangers of blind faith, but we are also its practitioners and most sincere adherents. ”
Chen Xiaoyao said facing the sun, and Chen Xiaoyao's words also caused Giovanni and Mario to nod for a while, because the two of them experienced Assassin careers also made them deeply aware of Altaïr's Assassin's Creed, because Altaïr's Assassin's Creed is not them, no, it should be said to be the abbreviation of all Assassins' lives!
"Mentor, what about what you said to your father that everything is false and everything is allowed?" After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's words, Ezio was even more confused.
"Ezio, you are asking a very good question, 'All things are false, all things are allowed', this sentence does not tell you sù, as an Assassin you can do whatever you want, and it does not grant you the freedom to do what you want to do, it means a knowledge, it can guide you to feel. It wants wisdom that you don't know right now! When you understand it one day, it means that you have become a Master Assassin 'inside'. ”
"These, and that's all, make up the creed of our current Assassins." Chen Xiaoyao said.
"Thank you, mentor, for guiding us." The voices present all bowed deeply to Chen Xiaoyao.
"I've taught you all about the Creed, and now I'm teaching you how to use the Leap of Faith. Taking our creed as a belief turns into non-existent wings, protecting our bodies, and swearing by our creed, this is the leap of faith. ”
After Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, he jumped off the roof of the Auditore Manor and landed on the ground without making a sound.
Although everyone listened to Chen Xiaoyao's Assassin's Creed, and witnessed Chen Xiaoyao jumping from the rooftop of more than a dozen people without making a sound, this is an incredible thing.
However, everyone here still felt very incredible, because it was just some truth to tell the assassins, but it was able to produce such a big reaction.
"I'll come first, I'm the most experienced here as an assassin." Giovanni said.
Then, without them reacting, a jumping Giovanni jumped off the roof.
At this moment, Giovanni, who was in mid-air, felt a miraculous thing, and the hidden instinct of his assassin was actually 'turned on' by himself.
At this moment, it was as if two invisible wings had grown behind me, and the formless and massless wind seemed to hover over my body and ears and make a cry like a goshawk, and my body became lighter than a feather, and when Giovanni thought like this, my body fell to the ground, but there was no sound from the ground.
"Father succeeded, Ezio, you see, father succeeded." Federico shouted at Ezio first.
"yes, we all saw it." Ezio responded to his brother.
Then Mario, Federico, and Ezio all jumped off the roof, and everyone landed safely, but the only pity was that Federico made some noise when he landed because he was lucky not to touch some stones.
"Papapa~~ Congratulations on mastering the leap of faith." Chen Xiaoyao said while clapping his hands.
"No, this qiē is all the credit of the mentor." X4
"But Federico, you're still a little bit short, and you'll have to practice more in the future." Chen Xiaoyao teased Federico.
"This qiē is not my fault, I can only blame the manor for being too tattered." Federico muttered quietly, but it embarrassed Mario.
"What do you say, Federico, you stinky boy, don't look at the manor like this, that's why I didn't bother to repair it, if it was left when my grandfather first built it, the manor would be very beautiful." Mario said awkwardly, causing everyone to laugh without saying a word.
In the evening, Chen Xiaoyao returned to a room in the Auditore Manor.
"Xiaoxue, are you there?" Chen Xiaoyao called Nian Xue for a long time.
"Yes, master." Nian Xue's words immediately appeared in Chen Xiaoyao's mind.
"Xiaoxue, can I trust you?!" Chen Xiaoyao took a deep breath, and then slowly asked Nian Xue, his voice revealing excitement.
"Master, yes." Nian Xue replied.
"Yes, then why do you want to do it, answer me!" Chen Xiaoyao asked calmly, but there was helplessness hidden in his heart.
"Master, do you remember the promise that master made to Xiaoxue?"
"Of course I remember, I naturally remember the promise of those supreme deposits."
"Master, Xiaoxue is actually very happy, because the master thought of it."
"Hehe, Xiaoxue, I thought of it, but I hope there will be no future except for this incident, otherwise I will be really scared."
"Master, this is really the only time, Xiaoxue actually didn't want to do this, but the master didn't disappoint Xiaoxue either."
"If it weren't for the fact that when I told the Auditore family about the Assassins' creed and the leap of faith given to them today, I wouldn't have found out what you did."
"It's really as the master thought, Giovanni didn't know the leap of faith and I did it."
Chen Xiaoyao felt very helpless when he heard Xiaoxue's words.
It turned out that from the very beginning, Nian Xue calculated Chen Xiaoyao, because we all know that Assassin's Creed 2 actually tells three stories of Ezio's life: "Assassin's Creed 2", "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", and "Assassin's Creed: Revelations".
Among them, Assassin's Creed 2 is the story of Ezio's youth, and it is also the time period with the largest and largest span of the Assassin's Creed World era. (1476~1497, the plot time of the first part spanned 21 years.) )
Before that, there was a short film about Giovanni, in the first part of the fight, there is a scene where Giovanni jumps from a height of several meters, and this scene has a leap of faith.
Then it is clear that Giovanni will take a leap of faith, but here, Giovanni will not.
The question then arises as to whether this is an Assassin's Creed that will take a leap of faith, or an Assassin's creed that will not be a leap of faith.
Originally, Chen Xiaoyao thought that Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2 did not know the Leap of Faith because he had not been trained by the Assassins, but when Chen Xiaoyao knew that Giovanni would not know the Leap of Faith, he felt strange, which was also the reason why Chen Xiaoyao was surprised.
You must know that in fact, those Assassin's Creed did not really allow Assassins to use the principle of Leap of Faith, saying that Giovanni could not use Leap of Faith because the Creed was incomplete, which was actually Chen Xiaoyao's deception of Giovanni.
The real reason for the Assassins to be able to use the Leap of Faith has always been the Assassins' basic skill, Concealment.
Concealment was an essential skill for the Assassins to survive, allowing them to walk on rooftops like cats and control their bodies from their enemies. But we all know that the cat falls from the sky, as long as it is not too high, then the principle of safe landing is because when the cat jumps from a height, its eyes can quickly know whether the ground is flat or uneven, if its body is out of balance, the balance organ of its inner ear can also quickly feel, this balance organ will notify the brain of this imbalance, and the brain will report the news to the "headquarters" brain on the one hand, and notify the spinal cord down on the other hand. The spinal nerves of the spinal cord immediately transmit the sensation to the muscles of the limbs, and the muscles of the limbs adjust the muscles of the whole body as quickly as possible to keep the body in a state of balance. In this way, the cat's body is ready before landing on the ground, and the cat's long tail is also an important organ that regulates the balance of the body, so the cat will not fall if it jumps from a height. In addition, cats have thick pads on the soles of their feet, which are soft, soft and elastic. When a cat falls from a height, the meat pads on the soles of its feet help protect it from shocks. So the cat will definitely not be harmed if it falls from a height.
And the leap of faith can also be said to use a similar method, you must know that the method of concealing the control of the body and relaxing the foot, so that the soles of the feet become like meat pads are no worse than cats, and even much more advanced.
Therefore, it is impossible for Giovanni not to have a leap of faith, so the reason for this must be that someone has 'erased' the concept that Giovanni will have a leap of faith, and the only person who can do this is Nian Xue.
