Chapter Ninety-Three: The Eagle of Freedom
"On the day of the Liudong Temple, you seem to have used our assassin's exclusive weapon~~~~ boy." The Assassin didn't rush to attack, as if trying to figure out something.
"Hmph~~~~ It's not just a Hidden Blade~~~~~ buddy is playing with a double Hidden Blade!" With a brush, Kamiya showed off his two wrists.
In fact, there is nothing to keep secret about this thing, it has been used once, and it is normal for the other party to be wary of his own hands.
"Really...... However, a true assassin is not just a superficial appearance, but a keen sense of being able to accurately grasp his target whenever and wherever he is. β
"Huh~~~~" The whistling wind came, and the Assassin disappeared into thin air, disappearing into the darkness.
"Wherever you are...... No matter where it is......" Fang had just captured with the naked eye, the figure of the assassin seemed to be firmly imprinted in his mind, and the young man raised his eyes to look around, and a yellow shadow suddenly appeared around the darkness.
"There!"
"Whoosh~~~~" A dart flew out quickly.
"Click~~~" With a beautiful turn, the dart that the boy flew out was unloaded by the assassin and grabbed in his hand.
"The eagle soars over the desert of the Levant, and all its prey is invisible in its eyes." The assassin took the boy's dart and stepped out of the shadows.
"In that case, it is necessary to continue." The Assassins still had no intention of attacking.
"We are a branch of the Nichari belonging to the Shia branch of Ismaili. Around the year 1000 A.D., the Auphema in Cairo, Egypt, established a place of study and began to attract acolytes to study and teach them some secret methods so that they could accomplish the sacred tasks according to the will of Allah, and this was the beginning of what we later called the Ismaili movement. β
"For many reasons, the place of learning eventually died, but the fruits of it were passed on. Among its lineage was an extraordinary man, his name was Hassan, the son of Saba. His family grew up in Karasun, a vast area in eastern Iran bordering Afghanistan. Saba is a statesman and a man of great learning, whose ancestors were crew members of the Land of Learning, who once reached the ninth stage of Ismaili, and who passed on everything he knew to his son. β
As a young man, Hassan was taught by Imam Muwafiq, a teacher who chose to mentor only the most promising students and inculcate in them the mystery of gaining power. The imam's method of teaching must have been meritorious, for among Hassan's classmates were the future famous astronomer and poet Umar Khayyam and the Persian king Nizam al-Muleq. When the three were classmates, they had agreed that whoever was the first to gain power would have to assist the other two. β
"Nizam was a man of his trust, and when he took power, he found a position in the palace for his friend Hassan."
"Hassan proved to be a brilliant administrator, who was appreciated first by the king of Persia and then trusted by him. Later, when the Persian court was implicated in civil strife, Hassan fled to Cairo, where he remembered his father's story about the land of learning, and thought he would be spared death there. He had an unexpected encounter with the remaining Ismailis. Those followers were the few remaining core forces of the old group. β
"For decades, they've been waiting for an opportunity and a new leader, the man of destiny who can regroup them β Hassan, and he's that leader."
"With his courtly charm and vast knowledge and ability, a large number of converts soon gathered around Hassan. At the same time, he continued to study and refine the training methods used in the learning grounds. A few months later, accompanied by supporters, Hassan arrived at Mount Albots. Surrounded by towering mountain peaks, it is a huge citadel that has been used for many years by Shiites fleeing Sunni persecution. β
Hassan was so familiar with the terrain that he met with the owner of the castle and paid a fortune to buy it. After that, he renamed the castle - Alamut. β
"Why are you saying this to me!" The boy did not let his guard down in the slightest.
"You wield the weapons of an Assassin and have the unique gift of an Assassin, we ...... There is no reason to fight. Assassin Kamiya said.
"Then it just so happens that I have two more masters on my side, you can choose one to sign a contract with her~~~~~~" Kamiya shot back.
"I mean, if you choose to join me, then I'll spare you in the name of 'Hassan Saba.'"
"Wishful thinking! I won't betray them! Without hesitation, Kamiya refused the Assassin's persuasion.
"Really...... So...... Die. β
"Huh~~~" The figure of the assassin rushed towards the valley quickly.
"Dang!" Long sword after short sword.
"Whew~~~" The assassin punched again.
"Huh~~~~" After Uetani dodged shortly, a backflip widened the distance between him and the Assassin.
"I am the King of Assassins! All Assassins should be at my disposal and fight for me! β
"Whoosh~~" a sword stabbed.
"Dang!" The pitch-black dagger slammed into the golden holy sword once more.
What is the truth?
With faith in our hearts, we see the world as it really is, and we hope that one day all will see it.
The golden light of "~~~~~~~~~" instantly dissipated, and the two people who were fighting were shaken away
"Who's that...... What is that? "Just when Kamiya was shocked.
"Whoosh ~~~~~" three darts galloped closer.
After "Ding ~~~~~" flew one dart, Kamiya flew to dodge the other two.
"Whew~~~~" A strong wind hit behind him.
"Ding!" The speed of his opponent's sword did not allow him to turn, so he held his sword behind him, blocking the Assassin's short blade.
"Obey me, Hassan Saba, it is your destiny as an Assassin to pave my way with your blood." The Assassin's mournful voice came from behind him.
A truly wise person will not point you to the truth, but will teach you to discover it.
When others are blindly chasing the truth, remember-
Everything is empty
"Bang ~~~~~~" golden glow ejected the Assassin some distance again.
"Nani?" That's when Assassin realizes something is wrong.
"Those voices...... Who is it? β
Not only the Assassin, but even the boy with the sword was confused, but he did hear it.
"In that case...... a trace of mist gradually enveloped the surroundings, and countless strange-shaped Assassin clones walked out of the black mist.
Take up your sword, my warrior, and fight for justice, for freedom.
A young man's voice came into the teenager's head again.
"......Shh Fight! Looking at the overwhelming number of Assassins, Kamiya was encouraged by the voice of the mystery and decided to give it a go.
Countless Assassin clones rushed towards the boy, and the boy also attacked head-on, and his momentum was no less than that of the other party.
The sound of "clanging~~~" sword clashing came, and the golden light and shadow flew up and down, fighting with countless sword-wielding shadows.
"You will die here, and only if you die here will the war end, and this town will have real peace." The Assassin continues to fight against the boy's will to fight.
The path of peace is built on the blood of the people, but let's not forget that we want peace, not sacrifice.
The boy felt as if he was about to merge with the voice, and shouted out the words that came out of thin air.
"Thorn service is subordinate to me, it is the iron rule of the Order!" As if offended, the Assassin was furious.
The Assassin had to be alone in blindness in order to understand the dangers of blindness
When others are restricted by the law, rememberβ
Anything goes
Accompanied by the admonition of admonition, the sword in the young man's hand trembled with anger, and scenes from the holy sword entered his mind.
Hardship is their life, and they can only bear it silently.
Parting, haunting their left and right, they can only endure silently.
Plundering, strangling their necks, they can only cry silently.
Finally, they couldn't take it anymore!
They shouted, they pursued, everything, just for two words: freedom!
In the face of Assasin's contemptuous words, the boy raised his head, his gaze fearless; His heart was full of anger!
In the darkness of the night, they fought silently and died silently, just for the dawn to come.
On the battlefield, they followed one after another, staining their homeland with blood, just for the independence of the country.
In the face of adversity, they braved the wind and waves and forged ahead bravely, just for a free tomorrow.
In front of the strong enemy, they stand tall and fearless, only for the future of the nation.
He saw, he heard, he felt, the intersecting emotions, the tragic farewells, and...... The small greatness......
In the vast desert, their thoughts remained.
Before you go, I have a question for you, what is the truth?
With faith in our hearts, we see the world as it really is, and we hope that one day all will see it.
So what is the world?
The illusion, an illusion that we can choose whether or not we want to obey, most people will obey, but we can also transcend it.
What is Transcendence?
Recognizing the principle of "Nothing_is_true, Everything_is_permitted", human law does not arise from the gods, but from reason. I now understand that our creed gives us not the freedom of indulgence, but the wisdom of discernment.
The bustling city has witnessed their vicissitudes.
When I was a young man,
I have freedom, but I don't see it.
I have time, but I don't know it.
I have love, but I don't feel it.
It was only years later that I realized how precious these things were.
Now, in the twilight of my life. Think of these epiphanies as an asset.
Love, Freedom, Time...... They taught me......
How to guide your faith.
Especially love, my dearest and dearest.
Whether it's you and me, or our children and grandchildren, or our brothers and sisters,
And this big, wonderful world that gives us life.
and this unpredictable life.
On the cold snowfield, their persistence is imprinted.
I may not succeed, we may have to fight a lot more, but we will not stop. Compromise, that's everyone's opinion, and I've learned it, but my compromise is not what ordinary people think. I realized that it would take a long time, and that the road ahead was long and dark. The road won't necessarily take me where I want to go, and I probably won't see the end of it, but I'll keep going. Because hope will be with me, and I will keep going when everyone is telling me to turn back. This is my compromise.
In the vast ocean, their flags fluttered.
We are proud that there is no color to represent us, so let the black flag be the symbol of freedom that human beings are born to have! This black flag belongs to you! Be proud!
Before the torrent of revolution, their blood surged.
It will not be dissolved until the constitution is enacted!
What is Level 3?
All!
What does it ask for?
Difference!
What are they doing?
They are in the revolution, Your Majesty.
In the face of the enemy's guns, they were fearless.
We also told them about how we had come here and settled here. We pleaded with them for their natural sense of justice and grace to rejecting the plundering of the same kind, but they also turned a deaf ear to the cries of this righteousness and kindredness.
Therefore we are compelled to declare our separation from them, and to treat them as we do to the other peoples of the world: those who are reconciled to me are friends; Whoever fights with me is the enemy!
In the face of cold bullets, they followed one after another.
I want my body to lie on the banks of the Seine, among the people I have loved so much.
No one is qualified to represent them?
Anyone is qualified to represent them!
"Whew!" The sword swung out, and the throbbing air roared in anger.
They...... Not all assassins, but! They all have the same belief!
"Dang!" The two swords clashed, and the splashing sparks were burning.
You who only know how to take advantage of others, have you ever seen their suffering?
Their swords, in questioning.
Why are we born low?
Their swords, telling.
Why are we miserable all our lives?
His sword is roaring!
We're going to get back what we once had!
The holy sword is swung down, and the thunder is thunderous!
"Boom!" The opponent's weapon flew into the distance.
You who only know how to take advantage of others, have you ever seen them struggle?
You who only know how to use others, have you ever seen their struggle!
You who only know how to take advantage of others, have you ever seen their sacrifices!!
In the face of this bloody question, the countless shadows that fell to the ground looked dazed.
They fought in obscurity all over the world, and they gathered together for the faith in their hearts.
The footsteps never stop.
In the face of a powerful enemy that is almost invincible, for the sake of the faith in their hearts, they give it a go!
The heart is full of determination!
They are everywhere, and they can't stop it.
They are not a shadow of terror, but a banner of faith!
Don't they all have names...... But they all have the same yearning......
In the eyes of the young man, he was fearless, because his heart was no longer lonely.
The right arm was slowly raised, and the fierce sword edge reflected the moonlight, and the edge was shining!
"Today, you are on the opposite side of faith, then I will knock you down! In the name of the Assassins! More for the faith in the heart! β
The weapon in his hand is constantly changing shape.
Unfamiliar names keep circulating in my mind.
But the boy knew that no matter how it changed, no matter what his name was written on
It...... They are no longer weapons of murder
It...... It represents the creed of countless people to follow for a lifetime, and represents the belief of countless people to stick to their lives.
The holy sword was raised high, and the wills gathered here.
"I β Fight for Faith!!"
In the howling cold wind, the holy sword swung down!
It's a verdict, it's a judgment, and it's a cry from the bottom of my heart!
"Boom ββ!" The golden shockwave turned into a raging torrent, breaking through the darkness, shattering the shackles, turning into a ray of dawn, chasing the direction of progress.
Around the boy, blue dots of light fluttered everywhere and flew away.
"Your wish has been fulfilled long ago, because to this day they are still in the darkness, fighting for the light."
With a murmur that didn't seem to belong to a teenager, darkness shrouded the world around him again.
"Life is like this darkness, always with us, and what we can do ...... Only faced. β
He...... Maybe not an Assassin, but at this moment, he was more of an Assassin than anyone else.
Because at the moment, they all have the same beliefs......
Because at this moment, they all have the same yearning......
