Chapter 70: Abbas
The Apple of Eden ended the projection, and everyone's eyes shifted from the projection to the dead Al Mualim.
All of a sudden, everyone's mood became a little complicated. The same teacher who had taught them and shown them the way forward was now lying on the ground, without a trace of life. And the people who caused this result were their favored people.
After the silence, Altaïr instructed Malik and his men: "Go and prepare firewood and torches." ”
"What do you do with firewood and torches?" Malik asked, puzzled.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Altaïr said, "I have decided to incinerate Al Mualim's body. ”
"What!?" Malik and the others were shocked. Burning the remains is not in line with the rules of the Assassins.
Altaïr also reluctantly explained: "In order to prevent this from happening again, I know that this is not in line with our rules, but the crisis has forced me to do so. ”
After all, Rashid al-Din raised Altaïr from his infancy to the present. Trained him from an ordinary teenager to a generation of master assassins. A man like a father, confused by the Pieces of Eden, lost in power. Altaïr wasn't sure if Al Mualim would get back on his feet. He really had to do it for the sake of the Assassin Order.
"Okay, let's get ready." Malik got off and took the three people around him and hurried outside to prepare firewood and torches.
"Wait." Altaïr called Malik to stop.
"What, is there anything else?" Malik asked.
Altaïr explained: "Now you ride to Jerusalem and tell them about Al Mualim's death." ”
"Okay, I'll go." Malik immediately arose and went to Jerusalem.
In the back garden, only Altaïr and Osamu Amami were once again left. Oh yes, plus the corpse of a dead Al Mualim.
Do you want to include the Apple of Eden?
Pick up the Apple of Eden from the ground. Tianjian Xiu found that holding this thing in his hand was similar to holding a hollow metal ball.
The system prompts that the host, Osamu Amami, has obtained one of the Pieces of Eden in the game world "Assassin's Creed", one of the special items in the game world, the Apple of Eden.
The [Exclusive] section of the system has been opened, and the host can choose to exchange for items in the [Exclusive] section in the future. Happy playing. ”
Oh, and it's this sudden system prompt again. This [exclusive] page has finally opened.,In the future, you can exchange Eden pieces casually.。
The Holy Grail, the Shroud, the Cross of Eternal Life, and my beloved Great Sword! [Sword of Eden].
The two were silent in the garden for a long time. Altaïr walked over to Al Mualim's body, picked him up, and walked outside. Seeing this, Tianjian Xiu also followed.
Entering the fortress, an Assassin trotted in. He was one of the few assassins who had just gone out with Malik.
"Are you ready for firewood and torches?" Altaïr asked.
"Ready." The assassin replied.
Altaïr nodded, and was about to carry Al Mualim's body and walk underneath the fortress. The Assassin stood behind Altaïr and asked worriedly, "Is this really all over?" Is that wizard really dead? ”
The Assassin was still in the grip of the Assassin.
Altaïr paused, "He's not a wizard, just a normal man with a knack for trickery. ”
With that, he continued to walk to the bottom of the fortress. Amami followed and patted the assassin on the shoulder. "Don't worry, it's over." Altaïr will lead you to a better future. ”
"Some people can't accept this." The Assassin said worriedly about the cremation of the remains.
"Leave it to us."
Amami Xiu and Altaïr made their way down the mountain, and the Assassin followed.
On the way, Altaïr instructed the Assassin again: "I have asked Malik to ride a horse to bring Suxon of Al Mualim to Jerusalem." Can you bring his Su Xun to Akari as well? ”
"No problem."
The Assassin was ordered to trot all the way to the gates of Masyaf, and then immediately mounted his horse and headed to Acre to deliver the news of Al Mualim's death.
When the two reached the bottom of the mountain, a bearded man approached Altaïr and asked with a puzzled face, "What's going on here?" ”
Altaïr looked up and explained, "Our mentor has deceived us all. He had been corrupted by the Templars. ”
"What evidence do you have?" Abbas asked suspiciously, taking two steps forward.
"Come with me, Abbas, I'll explain." After saying this, Altaïr bypassed Abbas and continued on his way.
Only then did Tianjian Xiu know that this person was the same Abbas. The man who would kill Altaïr's youngest son and Altaïr's wife, Maria, in the future.
Abbas still didn't want to believe Altaïr, "What if I'm not satisfied with your answer?" ”
"Then I'll say you're satisfied."
……
On the way, Altaïr explained patiently, "Do you remember the relics we snatched from Robert de Sablé in Solomon's Temple? ”
"It's the holy object that was sent to you to retrieve, but it looks like someone else brought it back, right?"
Naturally, Abbas knew about it. After all, it's a big deal for the organization.
"Yes, it was a Templar tool called the 'Apple of Eden'. He can generate fantasies and control the human mind. He is a lethal weapon. ”
"So, you think Al Mualim is corroded?"
"Yes. Today he used the golden apple to enslave Masyaf, and you saw it with your own eyes. ”
"I don't understand what I'm seeing."
Altaïr did not speak afterwards, as he did not want to continue arguing with the man.
Several people had already arrived at the prepared burning point, a ...... built with firewood Bed?
Altaïr placed Al Mualim's body on it, picked up the torch that had been planted in the side, and lit Al Mualim's clothes.
Flames quickly erupted, burning his corpse.
"Altaïr, no!"
Abbas seemed to know what Altaïr was going to do, and stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late.
Standing in front of Abbas, Altaïr explained: "I have to make sure he doesn't come back." ”
Altaïr was helpless. However, Abbas did not want to listen to Altaïr's explanation, and shouted at him: "This is not our way of doing things!" It is forbidden to burn a person! ”
"Blasphemer!"
One of the onlookers spoke out suddenly.
Faced with the accusations, Altaïr had to explain to them: "Listen to me! This body could be another soul of Al Mualim! I have to make sure of that. ”
"You're lying!"
Abbas stepped forward and shouted at Altaïr: "As long as you exist in this world, it is a mockery of our creed!" You have abandoned our principles for the whims of the moment, while also belittling and humiliating those around you! ”
"Catch him!" In the crowd, Abbas's supporters were embracing him.
Altaïr looked at the crowd with helplessness. Abbas was overjoyed and was about to push Altaïr down.
However, as soon as he approached Altaïr, his hand was halfway out, but someone suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder.
Abbas looked back in surprise. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a fist that was infinitely magnified, and finally smashed into his face.
The tremendous force directly knocked Abbas underneath. Before he fell, he heard a voice.
"Fool, didn't you notice my existence until you didn't notice?"
