After the initiation ceremony, the next step is the ceremony to take over as a mentor.

William. Miles took out an ancient parchment scroll from a bookshelf not far away, and though he knew every word in it, he read it word by word.

"Ask the Mentor's successor to remember the Three Commandments of the Assassins. No innocent people should be harmed. ”

Bella replied softly, "Yes." ”

"Hidden in public."

"Yes."

"Never implicate the Brotherhood."

"Yes."

According to Bella's understanding, this three commandments are a bit of a recitation of the rules of the door, what is not to kill, not to betray the teacher, and so on.

Actual? In fact, when the time comes, you will be improvised, how can there be such a dogma, there is such a thing as door rules, just listen to it and it's over.

William. Miles finished his program and stepped aside.

Gavin. Banksy pulled out a brown codex and whispered it as well: "I'm reciting Mentor Altaïr. Ibn . La'Ahad wrote a different interpretation of the Three Commandments of the Assassins. Ask the mentor successor to listen carefully. ”

Bella could only continue to nod: "Yes." ”

"We seek peace, but we kill people as a means.

We enlighten the intellect, but we require members to obey a guru and a set of rules.

We want to expose the dangers of blind faith to the people, but we ourselves are doing blind faith.

This is the paradoxical nature that is innate with us. Subsequent Mentors should keep in mind that free will does not mean that people can ignore consequences and moral constraints, and that the Assassin's Creed requires Assassins to exercise deep self-discipline and moral consideration, to show respect for the opinions, opinions, and beliefs of other cultures, and to accept their own mistakes. ”

"Yes......"

After this set of not-so-cumbersome formalities, Bella officially took over as the mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood.

The first thing in front of her at this time was what to do with Daniel. Cross, the blonde man they caught before.

As a direct descendant of the Russian Assassins, and having awakened many of the Assassin skills of his ancestors, Daniel. The fact that Cross was able to be brought to his former mentor and received by him in person shows that he is an exceptional talent.

However, he exploited the Brotherhood's trust in him, killed the Mentor, and brutally purged the Assassin Brotherhood, a heinous felony.

If that's all there is to it, Bella took matters into her own hands, went up and slashed her neck with a knife, and avenged her former mentor, her position would undoubtedly be more secure.

Can Daniel. Cross was brainwashed with a golden apple, and the act of killing the mentor was not a subjective intention, which needs to be pondered.

The first of the three commandments of the Assassin Brotherhood is that you must not kill innocent people. Cross is a tool in this matter, a knife, and is the knife also guilty? The one who is guilty is the one who bears the sword.

If you leave today's occasion, then many things, whether it is the three commandments or the three sarcasm, can be ignored, and a sentence of revenge for the former mentor can be covered up, and no one will say anything.

But before the words fell, it was a bit out of place to raise the butcher's knife and kill people indiscriminately.

The Assassin Brotherhood is an organization with very high moral standards, and does not advocate revenge and revenge, where the Order's philosophy is often greater than personal grudges.

"What is the Brotherhood going to do with Daniel. Cross, what's your opinion? Bella asked the two.

"It's all up to the mentor."

"I don't have any opinion."

The two didn't answer and kicked the ball back.

Bella didn't talk nonsense, she began to do what she wanted: "Put Daniel. Cross brought it up. ”

The basement door opened, and two fraternity members dragged Daniel. Cross came in, they couldn't see Bella's face hidden under the hood, they only knew that it was a female mentor, and at this time they all bowed in unison, without half a word of nonsense, left people behind, and turned to leave.

Imprisoned in the dungeons of the Osaka Brotherhood of Assassins, Daniel Murphy. Cross was not abused, but was heavily handcuffed and shackled.

"Daniel. Cross, you killed the former mentor of the Brotherhood, do you have anything to defend yourself now? Bella asked.

The blonde man's face was a little haggard, but his mental state was much better than before, and he looked directly at Bella.

"I'm Nikolai. Orelov's great-grandson, but I joined the Templars, and they deliberately washed my memory out of order to infiltrate the Assassin Brotherhood. ”

He sighed, "The Knights Templar have been very good to me, but the Assassin Brotherhood is also like my home, it's all my family, I'm ...... I really have nothing to defend, please let me go. ”

He knelt on the ground, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes to die.

Bella nodded, and threw a new question: "Would you rather die as a member of the Knights Templar or as a member of the Assassin Brotherhood?" ”

Well? Daniel. Cross opened his eyes, and he hesitated.

The left and right are dead, there seems to be no difference, but in fact, for these people with ideals, the difference is very big.

He had to think about it.

Bella waited all the time, and William and Gavin stood there motionless like sculptures.

Daniel. Cross seemed to think for a long time, and then said a little dryly, "If I could, I would like to die as a member of the Assassin Brotherhood." ”

Bella pulled a throwing knife from her belt and tossed it lightly.

"Following the ancient tradition of the Assassin Brotherhood, by cutting off the ring finger of your left hand as a sign of repentance, I allow you to return to the Assassin Brotherhood and be buried according to the rites of the Brotherhood after death."

She was only talking about repentance, it was a personal matter, and she didn't say anything forgiving, because there was no need to say it.

The leaders of the organization are all killed, and this can be forgiven? No matter how innocent he is, he has to die, Daniel. Cross must die!

Daniel. Cross picked up the knife and looked at his left hand.

A somewhat cruel smile crossed his lips, and the next moment, he slashed off the ring finger of his left hand.

"From this day forward, if a member of the Brotherhood wants to return to the organization, the first step must be to cut off his left ring finger."

Bella issued her first order as a mentor.

"Yes."

"Yes."

William and Gavin nodded together, agreeing with the order.

William turned around and Daniel again. Cross said the incision that 'everything is false, everything is allowed', and it was kind of to reintegrate this man into the organization of the Brotherhood.

"Thank you, thank you, that's great." Daniel. Cross smiled and nodded to the others, then held the throwing knife in his backhand and slit his own neck with a single sword.

The three of them watched indifferently until Gavin walked over and touched Daniel. Cross's arteries, confirming that the man was dead, allowed his men to drag the body away.
