Chapter 16: The Last Assasin

Chinese

A large bamboo forest covers a radius of dozens of miles like a green sea, a thatched hut is built next to the water, in the house, on the bamboo chair sits an old man with crane hair and a childish face, fingers plucking a seven-string guqin, a wisp of fragrant tobacco wafts out of the fist-sized incense burner, with the sound of the piano, like a dreamlike light dance and fluttering.

"Master, he's out." Someone reported it.

The sound of the piano suddenly became intense, and the white smoke suddenly dissipated in the air, and then regained its calm, and a two-foot-long carp jumped out of the water, revealing the white of its belly, and drifted motionless.

"How far?"

"Didn't leave the forest."

"It doesn't matter." The old man continued to play, and at the same time commanded, "Gather the fish and stew it at noon." ”

"Okay, master."

The man happily walked to the shore and threw out a slender bamboo spear, which hit a big carp floating on the water more than ten meters away, holding a string in his hand, and with a shake, the bamboo spear with the fish flew ashore and was grabbed by him.

"Don't act rashly, old fellow!" The old man raised his eyes to look north, sighed, shook his head, and continued to pluck the strings.

In the glass enclosure lay a man, like a disabled person, to be exact, with neat incisions in the joints of his limbs, still bleeding, several infusion lines inserted into his body, and several mechanical arms grasping artificial limbs to meet those incisions.

The man began to shake violently on the operating table, "Increase the dose of anesthesia and prepare for nerve implantation." A man in a white coat said from the side.

Someone hurried in and said to the man in the white coat, "Doctor, the killing god has come out." ”

"Killing gods?" The white coat didn't look back, staring intently at the person in the glass cover, and he muttered to himself, "It's time to speed up!" ”

"The nerves are connected, and the sutures begin."

"Grand Master, the God of Killing has appeared, and we must take action."

"Did he leave?"

"Nope."

"Well-------, got it." The man called Grand Master leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh of relief.

Middle East

On the Arabian Plateau, in a hidden castle, an old man in a white robe, standing by the windowsill, a pigeon walked around, tilting his head from time to time to look at the old man, he held a small note in his hand, and there were only four words on the note: "Killing God appeared".

"Master." Several black-robed people stood solemnly, and one of the leaders spoke.

The old man looked to the west and was silent.

------

In the cave, Zheng Dong said straight to the point: "As long as you can save her, I will never regret your conditions." ”

The white-robed old man looked kind, his eyebrows and eyes expanded, and he laughed out loud before he said, "If you promise, you may not even be able to save your life." ”

Zheng Dong glanced at Mu Yun'er and did not flinch, "I promise." ”

"Well, the first condition is to be my apprentice."

"I do." Zheng Dong has seen his skills, and is sincerely willing to worship this master, "What should I call you?" ”

"In those days, above me was the lord of the castle, that is, the head of the gods, I was the priest of the gods, and below me were the holy priests, the stoics and the devotees." The old man looked at the void and paused for a few seconds, as if he had traveled through time and space, returned to the past, and continued: "Our organization is called Assasin, I should be the last person alive, my real name, I can't remember, call me a priest, right?" ”

"Then I'll call you a Divine Master."

"Well, so be it." The old man nodded in agreement.

"The second thing, help me find something."

"Okay."

"The third thing, go kill a few people."

"Okay."

"Fourth ------"

Zheng Dong's forehead was already full of black lines, and the thickness of his face was also extraordinary, and he put forward a bunch of conditions before he could save him. In addition, he will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, he will delay it for as long as he can, after saving Mu Yun'er, he will fly away, and his conditions will come down first, Zheng Dong secretly calculated.

"Don't worry, the people I let you kill are the ones who deserve to be killed." The old man seemed to see what was on his mind, and continued: "I can't leave here because of her. He pointed to the other crystal coffin next to Mu Yun'er.

Zheng Dong only noticed at this time that there was a beautiful woman lying in the coffin, her pretty face was lifelike, she was wearing a purple robe, purple!

The old man in front of him was the ghost mentioned in the notebook, and he looked at him in amazement, this old man who looked kind-eyed, single-handedly killed all the German soldiers in the bunker, because he carried away the woman in the coffin.

"Master, I agree to all your conditions, how can I save her?" Zheng Dong pointed at Mu Yun'er and said, he couldn't wait.

"You!" The old man raised a finger and pointed it at Zheng Dong's forehead.

"Me?" Zheng Dong's anger rose from his heart, but the finger that pointed at him was like a sword of nothingness, the tip of the sword stopped between his eyebrows, and the palpitating chill made him calm down again and think about the old man's words.

"Yes, it's you." The old man walked to the crystal coffin of the purple-robed woman, opened the cold coffin lid, bent down, and kissed the woman's cold lips affectionately.

What shocked Zheng Dong the most was that the age of the divine master was that he could be a grandfather, and the female corpse in the coffin was only in her twenties, older than Mu Yun'er, and the old man's affectionate kiss made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he felt that the entire worldview had been subverted.

"What year is it?" The priest asked, looking up.

"Gregorian calendar 2019." Zheng Dong replied truthfully.

"According to your modern chronology." The divine master's expression darkened a lot, and he exhaled deeply, "It's 768 years, I didn't expect us to stay here for so long. He grabbed the lid of the coffin with one hand and closed it gently, without any effort.

Wait, Zheng Dong felt a little dizzy, and he had to get to know the whole world again, he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Master, your old man won't be over 800 years old, right?" ”

The Divine Master nodded thoughtfully, "Almost." ”

Zheng Dong decided to go out and sign up for a crash course in religious studies, to live for so long, either immortals or demons, he also wanted to confirm whether he had heard it wrong, pointed to the purple-robed woman in the coffin and said, "Then her grade is also so old?" ”

"Well, she's ten years younger than me, and when I came here, I was thirty."

Zheng Dong touched his chin, fortunately, he didn't fall to the ground, he mustered up his courage, facing a creature with unknown gods and demons, he wanted to ask clearly.

"How did you live this long?"

"You're finally right." The priest regained his kind demeanor, "I drank the water of the Holy Grail. ”

Wait, the brain is even more messy, Holy Grail? However, the legendary relics of a certain sect can bring the dead back to life by drinking the water filled with the Holy Grail. If the Holy Grail really existed and had such an effect, then ------, Zheng Dong suddenly had the urge to bow down and worship a certain religion.

This living divine master, his master, is a treasure in itself, if he is born, those rich old guys in the world will not eat him as Tang monk meat, at least he must be closed and studied to find out a result, longevity has been the ultimate pursuit of emperors and generals since ancient times.

"And how did she die?" Zheng Dong was still skeptical, "Didn't she drink the water in the Holy Grail?" ”

"She didn't drink it, and I angered the Holy See because I did, and they stripped me of my status as Inspector General of the Templars, believing that I had desecrated the holy relics."

Zheng Dong was completely blindsided, and the amount of information was a bit too large for him, "Didn't you just say that you are the priest of Assasin?" ”

The Divine Master sighed and continued, "Yes, I am both a priest of the Assasin Organization and the Inspector General of the Monks of the Knights Templar, and we were hunted down by two forces and then hid here. ”

"Why did Assasin hunt you down?"

"Because my Emily is the only daughter of the Patriarch of God, and her beliefs are different, the Patriarch will not allow her to marry me."

"Beliefs are different, are you a double agent?"

"What is a double agent?"

"It's someone who works for both sides at the same time."

"Well, that's it, for a while, our Knights Templar and Assasin were allies to deal with common enemies, and I was sent by the Knights Templar to the Assasin organization, because for a long time, they gave me the status of a devotee, I made a lot of great contributions, and later promoted to a priest."

Zheng Dong finally cleared his mind, "I understand, you want me to retrieve the Holy Grail and save them, right?" ”

The divine master closed his eyes, and it took a while to open them, his expression was a little complicated, and he said, "After finding her, you can only save her." He pointed at Mu Yun'er.

"Why?"

"Because we have experimented, hundreds of years ago, I went on an assassination mission with three people, and after completing the mission, two of us were seriously injured, and we were like brothers, so Chen Duan and I carried them all back."

The priest paused, as if the past was in front of him, and continued to tell.

"The Holy Grail is the only hope to save them, I went to the temple to steal the Holy Grail, I ran in a hurry, I used the Holy Grail to catch the water and drank, Chen Duan also drank it, the two people who were seriously injured, one has died, the other is on the verge of death, I gave them the water to drink after ------"

Zheng Dong was fascinated by what he heard, and asked eagerly, "What happened later?" ”

"The one who has died, he has not come back to life, the one who is dying------" He seemed to think of someone, and a cold glint of resentment flashed in his eyes, "he is alive, and all the wounds heal on their own." ”

"You mean to say that as long as I find the Holy Grail, Yun'er will be able to recover after drinking it, right?" Zheng Dong finally understood that finding the Holy Grail was something he had to do, and he had a thousandth hope, and he also put in 100% effort.

"That's right, only you can go, if I get out of here, someone will ruin her."

"Master, don't worry, I'll go find the Holy Grail, she may recover after drinking!"

"My poor Amy." The divine master sighed deeply, "She is committing suicide, your woman still has a breath, I have frozen her, she has hope, otherwise she will not survive tonight." ”

The Templars were in trouble with him because of the Holy Grail, and Assasin was chased and killed because he kidnapped his daughter, and his glory and wealth disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he ran to this ice cellar and stayed with his lover for a thousand years.

Zheng Dong couldn't help but sigh, but Mu Yun'er could be saved, and hope ignited in his heart again, "You tell me where the Holy Grail is?" ”

"I don't know."

The answer is more crisp than crisp noodles.
