Chapter 66: Thrilling
"He is your mentor, Al Mualim."
"But he's not a Templar." Altaïr angrily retorted for his mentor. But at this time, he knew that this was the reality. But he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to face it. After all, Al Mualim raised him from childhood to adulthood, a man like his father.
However, as Robert said, he betrayed Altaïr and the entire Assassin Order.
"Have you never wondered why he knows so many things? Where are we, how many members do we have, and what are our goals? Robert listed the same questions.
The clearer it was, the more painful Altaïr became.
The most suspicious thing about Rashid al-Din, as Robert enumerates, is that he knows so much.
Altaïr opened his mouth before he spoke, "Because he is the leader of the Assassins......"
Altaïr knew in his heart that these defenses were weak.
"Yes, and the first of lies, you and I are just two other pawns in his grand game." Robert was a little mocking, "Now, with me going to die, you're the only one left, do you think he'll let you live?" ”
Will Al Mualim kill himself?
"But I'm not interested in treasures."
"Ah, but he has. The only difference between me and your mentor is that he doesn't want to share! ”
"No ......"
"Ironic, isn't it?" Robert said with a mocking sneer: "I, your worst enemy, have always kept you safe. But now, if you kill me, you will also lose your own life. ”
Was he mocking Altaïr? Or are you laughing at yourself?
Robert's eyes had lost their brilliance, apparently dead. Altaïr crouched behind Robert in a daze, reaching for the feather in his arms. But halfway through the hand, it stopped. Then he reached out in front of Robert and covered his eyes.
Now the Grand Master of the Knights Templar is also dead. The rest was Altaïr's mentor, Rashid al-Din. That's what they call Al Mualim.
Altaïr was still kneeling on one knee, his eyes still looking at Robert's corpse, but his mind was not there, but he was constantly recalling the experience of this time.
Because of their own pride, even arrogance. I have caused my good brother Malik to lose his own brother, and I have also deprived him of the Assassin's important left arm.
In his quest for the treasure, he violated the Assassin's creed and killed a poor old man who had nothing to do with it. He also exposed himself to Robbe, with serious consequences.
Al Mualim, the Mentor, gave himself a list and exchanged the lives of nine people on the list for his own lives. Himself as a Master Assassin.
Now the nine names on the list have been removed, but they are known from the mouth of the last person. The leader of the Knights Templar is even the tenth person. What is even more ironic is that this tenth person turned out to be his mentor Al Mualim.
A fact that does not need to be confronted at all. His mentor Al Mualim, who had raised him like a father, had betrayed him.
Betrayed the entire Assassin Order and the tenets of the Assassins' faith.
Altaïr was momentarily confused. At this time, Amamishu squatted beside Altaïr, patted him on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Altaïr, remember, everything is false, and everything is allowed. ”
All things are false, and all things are allowed.
In his confusion, Altaïr continued to silently recite this sentence in his heart, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, revealing the original look of belonging to the Assassin Master.
Altaïr stood up and exhaled softly. "Huh~ Tianjian Xiu, let's go to Masyaf."
Amami Shu laughed softly. Altaïr had finally made up his mind, and the final battle was on.
The two of them peered out of the curtain of the door, and after waiting for a patrol team to pass by, they quickly ran out of the tent. Follow the route you came in before and escape from Arsuf.
However, what the two didn't expect was this. Before leaving the fence of Arsuf, dozens of crusaders stood in order, armed with weapons and torches in their hands. Apparently waiting for two people to appear.
Amami and Altaïr broke out in a cold sweat at this time. Dozens of crusader soldiers, both warriors and archers. Even if the two tried their best and tried their best, they couldn't break through at all. This is simply the fact that there is no need to try.
Amamishu stared at the army in front of him and said to Altaïr, "Dude, I didn't expect you and I to be here today. ”
"yes." Altaïr did not expect that the enemy would be aware of the Assassins' infiltration and place so many soldiers at the exit.
Neither of them expected that the other party would notice it so early. The only thing that puzzled the Assassins now was that Robert was dead, so who had they gather in front of the fence to stop the two from leaving?
The answer was soon revealed. The soldiers spread out in both directions, leaving a path in between. A man in red soft armor with a lion on his chest walked out.
Seeing this person, both Amami Xiu and Altaïr couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were surprised to reveal the identity of the other party, King Lionheart, Richard.
The leader of the crusade, Richard the Lionheart, was standing in front of the Assassin at this time, looking at the two men without saying a word.
The two sides faced off silently. After a long silence, King Richard finally spoke: "Assassin, I have a question for you before you leave. ”
Before we leave? Is it difficult for King Chad to let us go?
Seeing that Xiu couldn't guess King Richard's thoughts, he followed him and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Why?" King Richard asked, "Why do you travel so long distances and risk your life thousands of times just to kill a man?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two knew that King Richard had already noticed the assassination of Robert.
"Why?" Amami Xiu chuckled: "The answer is very simple, what he hopes for is not what we want." In order to prevent his hopes from becoming a reality, I had no choice but to kill him. ”
These words made King Richard's eyebrows raised, and he looked at Tianjian Xiu with interest, guessing the meaning of Tianjian Xiu's words.
Tianjian Xiu changed his mouth and said: "Of course, I don't know the reason for this. ”
With that, Amami patted Altaïr on the shoulder.
King Richard turned his gaze back to Altaïr, "You two have different reasons. Interesting. Tell me your reasoning, Assassin. ”
"He threatens my brothers, and everything we defend."
"Oh? Is it for revenge? ”
"No, not for revenge." Altaïr denied King Richard's claims. "It's justice, and there's the possibility of peace."
"This is what you fought for? Peace, yes? ”
King Richard clearly wanted to say something, but he stopped talking. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers moved out of the way, letting Altaïr and Amami go away.
