When Lu Xiao's hands touched the surface of Altaïr's armor, the system's prompt sound rang out at the right time.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest - obtaining the armor of the artificial artifact Altaïr, and rewarding a chance to draw a lottery or a reward of the elite level of your choice, please choose by yourself."

Lu Xiao, who had already thought about it, used up this precious reward without saying a word.

"Choose your own elite level rewards and exchange them for D-rank Isu bloodline."

"D-class Isu bloodline exchange, Isu DNA concentration cap of 1%, reference characters, Ezio Auditore, Desmond Miles, are you sure to exchange?"

"Sure."

"The reward has been redeemed, please familiarize yourself with the abilities granted by the bloodline passive skill."

"Ugh!"

Lu Xiao's hands holding Altaïr's armor suddenly trembled, and he could feel a tingling pain all over his body from the inside out.

Lu Xiao's sudden muffled snort startled the three Auditore assassins present.

"Lu?"

"Are you alright? Something wrong with the armor? ”

Fortunately, the pain of transforming the body only lasted for a few seconds, and Lu Xiao didn't have time to feel the particularity of the Isu bloodline, so he turned around and said to the three of them with a smile: "It's not a big problem, it's just that this armor seems to have some kind of resonance with my bloodline." ”

This statement did not arouse the suspicion of the three, after all, the Precursor bloodline itself hid many secrets.

Readjusting his breathing, Lu Xiao took off the gray thorn he was wearing on the spot and put on the full set of Altaïr's armor.

Altaïr's armor had a very different undertone from the white-gray tones used by the Brotherhood, and the entire set was a deep black.

With only a small amount of metal and leather armor of unknown material, the entire armor set is indeed very light to wear.

Ezio eagerly popped out his Hidden Blade and proposed to Lu Xiao, "Try the defense of this armor?" ”

Lu Xiao nodded and stretched out his hand in front of Ezio.

The sharp Hidden Blade cut into the seemingly inconspicuous cloth material, surprisingly without causing any damage.

"This ......"

Mario and Giovanni's eyes widened in surprise, and Ezio, who was doing it himself, was even more stunned as he twisted the material of his armor and rubbed it.

"What the hell is this? Invulnerable? ”

Lu Xiao thought about it, shook his head and vetoed: "This can only prove that it can prevent the sharp nature of the sword to a certain extent, Ezio, go find a blunt weapon, and let's try its impact resistance again." ”

Altaïr's armor, which he had relied on to learn about the Golden Apple, proved to be incredibly defensive.

The cloth parts of the armor can withstand sharp sharp objects, and blunt blows to the leather and metal armor parts that protect the vital parts will greatly reduce the impact force, greatly enhancing the user's survivability, and the light armor will not affect the normal activities of the assassin.

'It's really worthy of the black technology of the First Civilization, and the value of this armor itself may be higher than the rewards given by the system. ’

……

With the armor Altaïr left to the younger Assassins, the next thing to consider was the healing effect of the Shroud of Eden on Dante.

Before he had time to carefully test the new abilities brought by the Isu bloodline, Lu Xiao could already vaguely feel that his sixth sense had been greatly enhanced, and this was still without turning on Eagle Vision.

Receiving the small box containing the Shroud of Eden from Giovanni's hand, Lu Xiao could feel that the Shroud's allure to him had decreased significantly.

Open the lid and carefully remove the folded reddish-brown shroud from the inside.

The moment he touched the shroud, Lu Xiao's mind flashed through many strange pictures, some ancient and some of which high-tech era he couldn't tell.

'First Civilization? ’

For contemporary people, these marquee-like images are difficult for them to understand, but Lu Xiao can treat these images as holograms, and quickly adapts to this strange feeling.

At the same time as the picture was playing, the murmuring sound that could not hear the specific content clearly also began to reach Lu Xiao's ears...... Or rather, it reverberates directly in his brain.

Holding his breath and calming his mind, Lu Xiao put the open brown shroud over the back of Dante's head.

The miraculous phenomenon happened.

The old scar on the back of Dante's head that had come into contact with the shroud suddenly glowed with a faint golden glow, and his muscular body began to tremble slightly.

The four people led by Lu Xiao subconsciously stayed away from Dante's workbench, and after about half a minute, the golden light on the shroud gradually dissipated, and Dante also regained his calm.

Mario asked tentatively, "It's over?" The result? ”

Lu Xiao stepped forward to open the shroud, and the hideous wound on the back of Dante's head miraculously disappeared, leaving only a part of the smooth scalp that was inexplicably bald, which looked funny and weird.

"Whew~" Giovanni exhaled in disbelief: "So, the real effect of the shroud is to heal injuries?" Are there any side effects in people who have been cured? ”

Lu Xiao didn't answer, he fell into a trance-like state holding the shroud.

The D-class Isu bloodline has a precursor DNA concentration that exceeds that of Giovanni and Mario, which is basically the same as Ezio, who can easily use the golden apple in the original plot of the game, and Lu Xiao can faintly hear a gradually clear voice from inside the shroud.

"Hello, human, I'm Consus the Isu."

It was a warm and calm man's voice, and he pulled Lu Xiao's consciousness into the strange spiritual space attached to the shroud.

"Lu?"

Giovanni's question was not answered, and he stepped forward suspiciously, ready to reach out and shake Lu Xiao awake in a daze.

"Wait!"

Mario grabbed Giovanni, and he looked at Lu Xiao, who was distracted, with a thoughtful look: "Don't move him yet, Lu is a determined assassin, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to lose consciousness for such a long time, it should be that the shroud has some kind of connection with him." ”

"Wait and see what happens, and if you find danger, immediately pull the shroud from Lu's hand."

……

At this time, Lu Xiao lost most of his perception of what was happening in the outside world, and he was communicating with an Isu who called himself Consus.

"Consus? My name is Lu Xiao, and you are an Isu? ”

"Yes and no."

Consus said with emotion: "To be precise, I am the spirit body that Consus copied and uploaded into the Shroud, and my physical body was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago. ”

"I'm glad that humans can still hear me, I haven't been able to speak to anyone for more than half a century since I cut off contact with that little girl named Joan of Arc."

"Joan of Arc?"

Lu Xiao was stunned: "Joan of Arc? During the Anglo-French War, French folk recognized national heroes? ”

"Well, we're probably talking about the same person, the French pious girl named Joan of Arc Dalke."

Lu Xiao's mind flashed, and he suddenly recalled the legend about Joan of Arc.

"You...... Are you the voice of the 'Lord' that Joan of Arc speaks? Are you guiding Joan of Arc in action? ”

"Hehe~"

Consus chuckled and said, "I have no intention of offending Joan of Arc's faith, but that little girl's belief in the 'Lord' is too religious, and in order to be able to communicate with her normally, I can only follow her understanding and default to being St. Michael in her mouth, and carry the message for her instead of the 'Lord'." ”

Suddenly hearing the shocking secret about Joan of Arc, Lu Xiao was surprised and planned to continue asking, but Consus sped up to stop him from asking questions that he hadn't yet spoken.

"Lu Xiao, I also hope to have more communication opportunities with you, but my time for this life is coming."

"Remember, I can only communicate with humans normally for a short period of time when the Shroud is working."

"If you still want to gain more knowledge and activate the healing function of the Shroud, I will slowly tell you everything I know."

"But beware, only humans with Isu blood can withstand the healing effects of the Shroud, and ordinary people will only be tempted by the side effects of the Shroud and lose their minds."

Consus's voice faded away, and Lu Xiao's spirit finally broke away from the shroud's attraction and returned to the real world.

"Lu! Are you okay? ”

Seeing that Lu Xiao's eyes were regaining their agility, Giovanni, Mario, and Ezio hurriedly gathered around with concern.

Lu Xiao rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and sorted out the amazing information he suddenly obtained.

"I'm fine, it's just ......"

Looking at the shroud in his hand, Lu Xiao said thoughtfully: "There is an Isu consciousness named Consus remaining in the shroud, and in the next period of time, I plan to borrow the shroud temporarily, and try to get more information related to the Pieces of Eden and the First Civilization through communicating with him." ”
