After successfully completing his mission in Paris, Lu Xiao originally thought that he would be able to return to Italy before the end of April, but some unexpected events delayed his steps, and he did not return to Forlì, the base camp of Caterina's territory, until mid-May.

Over the past few years, the Assassin Brotherhood has provided him with a lot of help, training Lu Xiao from scratch to become an elite Assassin who has experienced a lot of battles.

Before leaving this world, Lu Xiao planned to give some rewards to the Assassin Organization who was about to say goodbye.

When Philippe Messier asked Lu Xiao for advice on how to grow up quickly and become the hope for the future in the eyes of the elders, Lu Xiao unreservedly told the young noble young master the insights and experiences he had accumulated over the years.

Philip is willing to put aside his pride and ask for advice from himself, proving that he is still self-motivated, and not hopeless.

As the leader of the French Brotherhood of Assassins, Vincent was very strict with his children, often beating and scolding, and rarely giving encouragement or praise.

Although Lu Xiao and Philip are not the same age, compared with the old-fashioned teaching of the older generation, Lu Xiao, who is closer to the younger people, has a better way to get Philip to listen to his experience and persuasion.

The Parisian Assassin family, which advocated freedom and romance, was not limited to Philippe, and the news of the upper circles always spread quickly.

When Lu Xiao packed his luggage and was about to say goodbye to Vincent and the others, Philip's "fox friends and dog friends" came to the door one after another to ask for advice.

As a last resort, Lu Xiao stayed in Paris for more than a month, and it was not until Mario's letter of notice arrived that he bid farewell to a group of Parisian nobles and young masters and set out on his way home.

When Lu Xiao arrived in Folì and was greeted by Caterina's hospitality, rumors about him gradually spread in France.

The junior assassins who had received his psychological counseling and practical combat education did not know when they gave him the title of mentor.

……

The mission to storm the Sistine Chapel was wide-ranging, and Lu Xiao, following Mario's instructions, brought Caterina, an ally of the Assassins, to Monteriggioni for a battle meeting.

Not only the minor lord of Romagna, Caterina, but also the lord of Florence, Lorenzo, and the lords of Siena, Pisa, Lucca, and other regions also gathered at the Ostore estate.

The Viceroy of Venice, Mocenigo, also sent Agostino Barbarigo as his envoy.

Antonio, Bartolomeo, Teodora and other members of the Brotherhood from all over Italy also gathered.

The Auditore estate is full of big names, and Caterina is already inconspicuous in comparison.

"Yo~ Our 'mentor' is finally back."

This yin and yang voice came from Ezio.

Ezio, who was in charge of his duties, had a good fight with the Templar dispatch on the island of Cyprus, but in the end, both sides were informed almost simultaneously that the golden apple in Cyprus had already been taken, and the mysterious woman had been found by Lu Xiao.

After returning to Italy from Cyprus, he wanted to settle accounts with Lu Xiao, but at that time, Lu Xiao had just left for France, and Ezio's breath had only broken out until now.

"Mentor?"

Lu Xiao didn't care about Ezio's weird tone, he knew that the other party didn't really hate him, but just jokingly vented his dissatisfaction.

"When did I get that name?"

"Humph!"

Ezio raised his head in dissatisfaction: "Think about it yourself!" ”

Ezio, who had left half a sentence, turned to leave, and Federico, who had arrived from Siena not long ago, shook his head amusedly.

"It seems that my dear brother is not mature enough and needs more experience."

Under Federico's explanation, Lu Xiao learned about the title given to him by the young French assassins, which made him a little flattered and a little laughing.

The term Mentor of the Assassins is not something to be called casually, and only those who can get the Brotherhood in the right direction can be recognized as the Mentor of the Assassins of the present day, and are usually highly respected within the Order.

Lu Xiao considered himself to be just a junior, at most a member of the Mesozoic Brotherhood of the Assassins, far from being highly respected, and he was deserved the title of mentor.

Federico smiled disappreciatively: "Anyway, it's just the younger generation shouting and playing, and my father and Uncle Mario haven't publicly objected, you don't have to worry too much, Ezio is just joking." ”

The lords of all places could not stay in Monteriggioni for long.

After meeting in person and agreeing to act together, the lords, led by Lorenzo Medici, returned to the local territorial capitals, leaving only a few representatives to continue to maintain contact with the parties.

Silence returned to the Auditore Manor, and the remaining members of the Brotherhood gathered in the underground Auditore Chapel to discuss the details of how to infiltrate the Sistine Chapel around the Golden Apple of Eden.

Mario, as the moderator of the meeting, looked around at everyone present: "First of all, we would like to thank Lu for earning the respect of our French counterparts for our Italian Brotherhood and for taking the Sword of Eden from the Templar Sage Dietrich Heinz. ”

During the Renaissance, the French, who had reunited at the hands of Louis XI, were indeed entitled to despise the Italians compared to the fragmented city-state system of Italy.

When the two Brotherhoods were exchanging, the Italian Assassins did feel a little aggrieved in the face of their French counterparts.

Lu Xiao picked up the Eden Holy Sword taken from the Louvre with both hands and showed it to the thorns present, and under the activation of his Isu bloodline, the surface of this holy sword glowed with a faint golden light.

With the support of the Sacred Heart hanging on his chest, Lu Xiao's consumption when using the Sword of Eden has been reduced, and he is able to exert the powerful passive effect of the Sword of Eden - leadership.

Leadership is a bit mysterious, but it does exist and can be counted as a kind of charisma.

It was with the leadership of the Holy Sword that Joan of Arc was able to become a French national hero who led the army against the invasion of the British army as a village girl.

And it was precisely with the passive effect of the Sword of Eden that Lu Xiao was able to make those unruly French gentlemen listen to his teachings and obtain the title of mentor from them.

As they grew older, Giovanni and Mario and others gradually retired from the front line and became the management of the Assassin Order.

Lu Xiao and Ezio and other new generations who are gradually growing up are the core combat force that infiltrated the Sistine Chapel this time.

With this in mind, Mario decided to temporarily hand over the holy sword to Lu Xiao for safekeeping, which may play a certain role when invading the Sistine Chapel to find the secret room.

"The selection of the pope has been decided, with Rodrigo Borgia designated as the next pope, and the enthronement ceremony is expected to be completed in the Sistine Cathedral in early July."

"We must seize the Pope's Staff before Rodrigo and open the door to the Chamber of Secrets."

Giovanni added: "Rodrigo would have thought of that as well, and Rome would have been very well guarded on the day of his accession to the throne. ”

"Lorenzo and other lords have agreed to send troops to threaten Rome at the same time that day, and they will help us contain the main force of the Holy See as much as possible, and the next action will depend on us."

Mario looked at Lu Xiao with a solemn face: "Lu, this infiltration team is led by you, we must succeed in one blow, we don't have a second chance." ”

Lu Xiao nodded with a serious expression and said, "I know that I will do my best to help the Brotherhood complete this most important task." ”

When the mission is complete, it's time for me to retire. ’
