After being decrypted by Giovanni, the newly acquired codex pages were returned to Monteriggioni through secret channels, as is customary, and kept in the study of the Auditore estate.

Giovanni gave this task to Lu Xiao and Federico to carry out together, just so that Lu Xiao could familiarize himself with the urban structure of Florence and the intelligence flow channels of the Brotherhood.

When Lu Xiao picked up the original codex from the desktop, the system that had been unresponsive for a long time suddenly sounded in his head.

"Side quest trigger - collect Altaïr's Codex."

"Reward: A chance to draw a prize above the World Excellence level or a prize of your choice at the Premium Level."

The sudden release of the mission made Lu Xiao's movements pause, and Giovanni noticed his abnormal behavior and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?" Is there anything else you don't understand? ”

Lu Xiao's face remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "No, I just suddenly remembered some past events." ”

Giovanni nodded understandingly: "The deceased is gone, please mourn, what you need to do now is to accumulate more knowledge and skills, and make all preparations for returning to your hometown for revenge in the future." ”

Giovanni's unauthorized brain supplement made Lu Xiao a little speechless, but he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, nodded with a heavy face to express his gratitude, and skipped the topic and did not discuss it again.

Giovanni didn't look at the sore spot of the other person and continued to ask, just as the noise outside the courtyard of the mansion came from the hustle and bustle, and the two of them turned their attention to the outside of the study at the same time.

Ezio and Federico were joking with each other in the atrium, and the two were discussing a certain beautiful passerby they had accosted before.

Petruccio followed the two brothers with a quiet smile as usual, while Claudia rolled her eyes at the two merry brothers with disdain.

With the return of his family, the stiff facial lines that Giovanni had just finished his killing mission softened.

Lu Xiao took the opportunity to say goodbye to Giovanni, low-key avoided the four brothers and sisters chatting in the atrium of the mansion, and sat in the shadow of the building and quietly returned to his guest room.

Sitting at the desk, Lu Xiao immediately asked the system.

"System, what's going on with side quests? Random release? Or is it triggered automatically when you get a key item? ”

System: "Side quests are only triggered when the host comes into contact with certain items and characters, and unlike world quests that must be completed, it is up to the host to decide whether or not to complete them. ”

"The rewards for completing side quests are more generous than those for world quests, and the system recommends that the host try to complete them within their own capabilities."

The system divides all the skills and items that Lu Xiao can have into stages.

Not counting the trash of the broken level, from ordinary to top, it is excellent, fine, extraordinary, rare, epic and legendary.

Corresponding to the skill level, ordinary is equal to F level, the highest legend is S, there is no SS and SR in skills and items, and there is no SSR, and the best skills and equipment are evaluated at most S+, and there is no further up.

The lottery above the Excellence level that collected the rewards of Altaïr's Codex was converted to a skill level of C, which surpassed the highest-level skill that Lu Xiao now possessed, the D-level clairvoyant.

In the novice world, this reward can indeed be considered generous.

Without Isu blood, Lu Xiao was unable to manipulate the Eden artifact as freely as Ezio and Kassandra, and the world of Assassin's Creed did not have much of a powerful supernatural power other than the artifact.

Relying on the accumulation of daily cultivation is the only way for Lu Xiao to improve his strength now, and the lottery opportunity given by the side quest is undoubtedly very important to him.

As for the optional reward of the Elite level, it usually does not become the first choice unless it can accurately lock the ability or equipment that is particularly useful to Lu Xiao at that time.

'Collect Altaïr's Codex......

Lu Xiao rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks with both hands, and he could roughly guess that this task was not easy to complete through the lottery rewards guaranteed by the excellence level.

Altaïr's Codex was scattered and buried throughout Italy by Domenico Auditore.

Although Italy's land area is far less than Lu Xiao's motherland, blindly searching around the Apennine Peninsula is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Mario and Giovanni spent a lot of time searching for them when they were young, and to this day they have not recovered more than 10 pages of Codex, two of which were found by Giovanni during his early trip to Milan.

Considering the time span of the entire Assassin's Creed 2 series, Lu Xiao began to worry about his age.

'After completing the newbie world, I won't be like the old pervert, I have become a middle-aged uncle, right? I don't want my hairline to recede so quickly! ’

"System, does the time spent in the mission world make me get old?"

"Yes, the mission world is also a real world, and the time consumed by the host in any world will be fed back to your body, please make your own reasonable planning."

'Sure enough......'

Lu Xiao scratched his still very thick hair with a headache, "It seems that you can't act according to the rhythm of the original game plot, try to speed up the progress." ’

But just in case, perhaps...... Can I do some insurance in advance? ’

……

Medieval European dining customs were similar to those in ancient China.

Even Ezio, who was usually babbling, did not say a word during the meal, and the knife and fork in his hand minimized the rude noise made when it came into contact with the plate.

No matter how high and jumping out of the day, Ezio and the others have always been children who have grown up with an aristocratic elite education, and the etiquette education they have been receiving can be perfectly reflected in them when they need it.

In contrast, Lu Xiao, who was preoccupied, didn't care so much about the noise of dining, which she was not used to.

Fortunately, everyone in the Auditore family knows that Lu Xiao is from a distant ancient country in the East, and it is understandable that the etiquette is not in place under different customs.

Giovanni was the first to end the meal, elegantly wiping the corner of his mouth with a snow-white napkin.

"Federico, you will lead Lu Xiao tonight and take him to visit the beautiful night view of Fei Lengcui."

Federico, who had just put down his knife and fork, raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw the meaningful look in his father's eyes, he nodded knowingly.

"Yes, father."

Ezio, who was wiping his mouth, said with some dissatisfaction: "Father, I ...... too"

"Nope."

Giovanni stopped his second son's proposal with his eyes: "I have another job to hand over to you, come with me to the study." ”

"Hey~" Ezio glared at Lu Xiao in annoyance: "Okay, father." ”

"Jingle Bell~"

When everyone had finished eating, Maria rang the bell on the table, and a middle-aged head maid immediately pushed open the door and led several servants in to clean up the table.

Lu Xiao left the restaurant and came to the atrium of the mansion under the leadership of Federico, and the two sat on the chairs in the courtyard to enjoy the cool and waited for the meal to be consumed.

Compared with Ubisoft, who used a trilogy to describe his life, due to his untimely death in the original plot, Federico, as Giovanni's eldest son, does not have much information, and Lu Xiao's understanding of him is limited to the information provided by Mario.

After some tentative exchanges, Lu Xiao found that Federico was a very tactful person, and he was not as lacking in emotional intelligence as mentioned in the information.

After chatting and resting for a while, Federico demonstratively climbed to the roof with the help of the walls of his own courtyard, just as Giovanni had done in the afternoon.

Lu Xiao was a little speechless about this: "Are the people in your family used to coming and going so high?" ’

Spit and complain, Lu Xiao still followed Federico and climbed onto the roof.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the brotherhood's special cage for external relations."

'Pigeon? Flying pigeon biography? ’

Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully, "It turns out that Europe will also play this set at this time, is it the technology transmitted by the Brotherhood of the East?" ’
