Chapter 35: Heading to Acre
On the way to Acre, there were no more words between Amami Shu and Altaïr, because for a while, the two had nothing to talk about.
So Tianjian Xiu thought about finding some topics to talk about with the second master. After thinking about it for a long time, Amami Shu also thought about the matter between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templars.
Acre is still far from Damascus, so no matter how much you ride today, you can't catch up, and the two of them didn't ride particularly fast, and they were ready to rest for the night somewhere on the way.
If the horse is not riding fast, it is natural to talk about some topics to relieve loneliness.
"Altaïr, how many years have you been an official Master Assassin?"
How many years have I been an official Assassin myself? Thinking of this question, Altaïr was really a little emotional for a while.
"When I was twenty-five years old, I was officially recognized as a Master Assassin by Al Mualim, and it has been two years now."
Two years was not a lot, but Altaïr's two years as Master Assassin and what he had done in the years before he became a Master Assassin was a lot.
When Altaïr was 24 years old, an undercover agent of the Order allowed the Templars to capture Masyaf, who returned from the field and killed him all the way. On the way, he rescued a lot of villagers, and finally killed the traitor and rescued Al Mualim, so he changed from an ordinary assassin to a master assassin.
After becoming Master Assassin, Altaïr became proud. In 1190, Al Mualim sent Altaïr to find a Piece of Eden known as the Holy Grail.
After a constant search, Altaïr learned of the location of the Holy Grail, in a palace of sand. Unfortunately, nothing was found in a golden chest in the Sand Palace, so he suspected that the Holy Grail had fallen into the hands of the Templars.
Later, in the process of searching for the Holy Grail, Altaïr solved the Templar attack on Acre, and finally found a woman named Adha in a Templar stronghold in Jerusalem, and this woman claimed to be the Holy Grail.
Later, Altaïr fell in love with the woman, but the Templars later took her and transported her by ship to an unknown location.
For more than a year, Altaïr had been on a mission and had been inquiring about Adha's information, but there had been no news.
Amamishu had just wanted to find something to talk about, but he didn't expect Altaïr to show such an emotional and pained expression.
Tianjian Xiu also guessed a point, which may be related to Adha.
Adha's affair really made him very sad. It was the one who made him think for a while that he would be the one who would accompany her as she grew old, make him stop killing, and make him put down the Hidden Blade in his hand.
Altaïr sighed secretly, retracting his grief. Only then did I remember that just now Amami Shu asked him how many years he had been an Assassin Master, so he asked Amami Shu the same question.
"What about you, looking at your appearance, you're not very old, how long have you been a Master Assassin?"
Altaïr also asked how long he had been a Master Assassin, not how long he had been an Assassin, despite the fact that Amami was only seventeen years old now. After all, the people who can be entrusted with this kind of cross-regional mission, and who also receive the mission of the Piece of Eden, are definitely master assassins.
This question was not so difficult to answer, and Amami Shu replied directly: "I haven't been a Master Assassin for a long time, just over a week. ”
When Altaïr heard this, he was stunned, but he didn't expect that the assassin next to him had only been promoted to master for a short time.
Altaïr didn't think much about it, how far it was from the Celestial Empire to Syria, and it had only been a week since he became a master assassin, so Altaïr didn't hear such an obvious bug.
After that, the two of them casually chatted about some things in the past, but basically Tianjian Xiu listened to Altaïr's story again, after all, his own story can't be told casually.
We talked until the evening, when the two men rode past a small village and decided to stay at the watchtower for one night.
But below the watchtower, there is a group of guards guarding there.
The two looked at each other, tied the horse to the manger, and then secretly thought about the approaching of the watchtower.
It was already dark, and the two men in white robes and hoods did not attract the attention of the guards.
Among the guards was a man dressed in white and wearing a helmet resembling a spittoon on his head.
Amami Shu remembered that everyone who wore such a helmet was a Templar.
And when Tianjian Xiu found this person, the system also issued a task.
"System task release:
Side Quests/Kill the Templars
Rewards: For every Templar killed, 20 equipment points, 10 skill points, and 5 attribute points. ”
Tianjian Xiu listened to it, and was happy, the task of the system is always so timely.
The Templars were very skilled, and almost every Templar had the same fighting power as Altaïr.
So this grandson can't have a hard anus, he has to play yin.
So Amami Shu said in Altaïr's ear: "Altaïr, this guard is easy to solve, but the man with the spittoon on his head is a Templar warrior with high combat effectiveness, so we'd better assassinate him first, and then deal with those guards." ”
Altaïr nodded, agreeing with Amami's idea. After all, they don't want to solve things in troublesome ways, they can be simpler, and the Assassin's Creed says to keep a low profile.
The guards were scattered among themselves, and the Templar was standing in an open area, and now it was a little friendly to figure out how to get closer.
Just walk behind you little by little.
Throwing his Hidden Blade, Amami began to move closer and closer to the Templar, and Altaïr, who was assassinating the other guards.
Closer, closer and closer.
With only three or four meters left from the Templar, Amami held his breath to prevent his breathing from being heard by the Templars.
Two meters! The best distance!
Within close range, Amami Shu began to run, and the sound of heavy footsteps finally caught the attention of the Templar. He turned his head to see which of the guards in the team had come to him at this time.
Before he could turn around, however, Amami Shu came behind him, his left arm reaching out to his chest, and he hugged the Templar in his arms, while the Hidden Blade of his right hand, at the same time, stabbed the Templar in the back of the waist.
"Uh~"
The Templars snorted in pain, their brains buzzed, their consciousness drifted, and their legs went limp. In order to prevent the spittoon on his head from making a noise when he falls, Amami Shu slowly lowers him to the ground.
When he drew his Hidden Blade and withdrew it, and the sound of the system sounded in his ears, it meant that the Templar in front of him was dead.
Arriving at the bottom of the watchtower, Amami discovered that Altaïr had eliminated all the guards and that their bodies had been dumped on a cart filled with grass.
"Solved?"
Seeing that the heavens were coming over, Altaïr asked.
Tianjian Xiu nodded, and Altaïr then said: "Their team is usually about ten people, I just solved the four people around the watchtower, and there are other places, let's go and solve them, so that tonight can be more stable." ”
"No problem."
Heaven sees the way of cultivation.
