The headquarters of the League of Assassins on Tiber Island did not have the Apple of Eden III.

Yes.

This is the record from Sloane's notebook, and according to the above record, the fragment of the third Apple of Eden that has reached Baker's hand is actually the fragment in the possession of the Assassin League headquarters.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Because, if there is only this fragment left on Tiber Island, then why don't you want to get it back after being taken away by Sloane?

It's not scientific.

And it doesn't quite conform to the law that has always regarded the protection of the Apple of Eden as a major responsibility.

That's what Baker thought at first.

Soon, the answer to the story was explained in Sloane's diary in his notebook.

Let's be honest.

Sloan wasn't just an obsessive-compulsive person, but he was also a diary freak, which was a bit puzzling to Baker, but the e-diary was quite useful to Baker.

1957 was also the year the eighteen-year-old Sloan defected from Tiber Island after seeing his name appear on the Loom of Destiny.

After Sloane arrived in New York, the League of Assassins sent someone over, and Sloan hid in a basement in Queens, New York.

By 1960, all of a sudden, the League of Assassins seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

At first, Sloan was also puzzled, but it wasn't until Sloan finished a few orders and made a fortune that he learned some news.

Originally.

In 1959, Tiber Island, which was vulnerable to internal strength, was invaded by the Templars, who had been hostile to each other for hundreds of years, due to the Assassins' Coalition's search for Sloane.

Even.

The Assassins who had come to New York were also ambushed by the Templars, and all the older Assassins who knew what Sloan had stolen were killed.

The League of Assassins was also devastated.

The few remaining veteran Assassins planned to cancel Sloane's wanted arrest after some communication.

The reason is simple.

Sloane was also an Assassin in how he defected, and their dislike for the Templars was written in the legacy, and if the Templars were targeting them, then it would not matter if Tiber Island fell as long as they could not get the Apple of Eden.

Sloan was let go in such a daze, and then lived in a dashing manner until he was sent to the point of no return by the father and son of the cross with a very simple faith because of fraud.

So......

This explains why the Assassins ordered the Assassins to capture Wesley alive, thinking that they should have gone to the textile factory to find it, and then did not find the Apple of Eden Fragments, believing that Wesley had obtained it.

In order not to attract the attention of other people, or to paralyze the Templars who are now rooted in the Federation, the reason why the Assassin Alliance chose to offer a bounty instead of sending Assassins over no matter how anxious the Assassins were.

All right.

It was for this reason that Baker really had no intention of killing Wesley.

I had already thought about throwing the black cauldron to Wesley, but I couldn't just take the black cauldron back for a momentary pleasure.

Baker walked over to the bar at the bar, ordered a bourbon, and looked at the time, ready to wait for the intelligence seller to come over.

That's when it happened.

Baker overheard the conversation between the two Assassins next to him.

At first, Baker didn't care, but when the Assassin said a word, Baker interrupted his entry.

"Sorry to excuse me."

Baker turned to the Mexican-American Assassin, who was talking to his companion about what had happened at Kendini International Airport in New York, "You just said that Tiber Island had made a move?" ”

Mexicans looked up at Baker, who spoke up, and looked at Baker's black-haired, plain face for a moment, and then asked uncertainly, "Hero?" ”

Baker nodded.

As Baker said before, he is also somewhat famous in the assassin world, on the one hand, because of Beck's maverick principles, and on the other hand, because of Beck's maverick order-taking area.

After confirming his identity, the Mexican-American Assassin said: "Yes, it should be from Tiber Island, right, the surveillance at the airport shows that an assassin dressed in the Middle Ages was captured at the door of the toilet. ”

"Video surveillance?" Baker frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The Mexican-American pulled out his cell phone, pulled up a copy of the video from the airport's surveillance and handed it to Baker.

After reading it, Baker thanked the Mexican-American Assassin and returned to his seat.

The video surveillance just now did show a medieval figure dressed in red and white robes.

But Baker was pretty sure that this was not an assassin of the League of Assassins.

Organizations that have been inherited for many years, hundreds of years or even thousands of years have more or less their own unique skills.

The ancestor of the Assassin world, the League of Assassins, is even more so.

Eagle Eye.

The bullet turns.

A leap of faith.

These three abilities that can be called BUGS are the signature skills of the Assassins League, or the exclusive skills of the three halls of the Assassins Alliance.

For example, Callum Lynch, who has been in the history of the League of Assassins, is an assassin who combines Hawkeye and Leap of Faith and becomes the face of the Alliance.

During his time in the League of Assassins, Sloane also learned to turn bullets.

Of course.

In addition to these three BUG-like abilities, which are considered inheritance skills, there is also an ability that must be learned by the Assassins League.

That is, any Assassin of the League of Assassins must also learn how to hide himself in plain sight.

Let's put it this way.

After this hidden skill is practiced, even if you are alone with another person, then even if you give that person ten days, he will not find out that you exist.

Belch......

The skill effect is similar to the effect of the male protagonist in the story of a certain Korean movie "Empty Room", living in your house, eating with you, and dating your wife, the kind you can't even detect.

Of course.

That effect is the effect after Dacheng, and the only person in the history of the League of Assassins who has practiced this skill to the point of Dacheng is the legendary Assassin Callum Lynch, and no one has been able to practice it to this level now.

But......

Even if it can't achieve Dacheng's stealth effect, it can still be used to dodge the camera.

Then the question arises.

If it wasn't the Tiber Island Assassin who appeared on camera, who could be the person in disguise?

The answer is clear at a glance.

There was no one other than the Templars, who had been hostile to the Assassin League for millennia.

Such a coincidence.

Baker was aware of this, because he had come here today to buy a copy of the Templar Shadow Company.

That's when it happened.

"Hello, Moulton!"

Baker came back to his senses and turned to look at the man who was calling out to him.

Smile slightly.

"Hello, Red Devils!"
