William took a deep breath and said to the two with a serious expression: "Prepare your weapons, there are unknown characters trying to invade the Grand Temple." ”

William was the first to remove the pistol from the Grand Temple camp where the team had stayed, while Rebecca walked up to the Animus and tried to wake up Desmond who had infiltrated the memories of the Ancestors.

"Boss, don't be so nervous."

Sean is still trying to trace the origin of the email in order to find out the other party's intentions and true identity.

"The entrance to the Great Temple is tightly sealed, and only those who possess the Golden Apple of Eden can ...... what？！ ”

Before Sean finished speaking, there was a sudden heavy sound of opening the door from the entrance of the Great Temple, and William gestured to the three of them with a serious face.

Desmond, who had just woken up from the Animus, was not very clear about the current situation, but he had already experienced the battle of many ancestors after being trained by the Animus Hemorrhage.

At William's beckoning, Desmond quietly climbed to the beam above the Grand Temple to prepare for assassination, while the other two hid behind cover under William's leadership.

'Who the hell is using Altaïr II's contact channel and Gavin's name?' ’

William was calm on the surface, but he was very uneasy in his heart: 'Could it be that Altaïr II was discovered and captured by the Templars?' ’

"Dad! Be careful with your ......"

Desmond's reminder was only half shouted when a leisurely greeting suddenly came from behind William.

“hello？ Are you William Miles, the Mentor of the Contemporary Assassins? ”

William is over 50 years old, and he has long since lost the fitness skills of his youth, and the sound of inquiry from his ears made his hair explode all over his body, but it is obviously too late to act now.

He was grabbed by the neck by the captors who went around his back at some point, and under the threat of the other party, he had no choice but to throw away the gun in his hand.

"Dangchang~"

The pistol fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Seeing his father being held down from behind, Desmond calmly jumped off the crossbar and flicked his right Hidden Blade in mid-air in an attempt to silently assassinate the elusive intruder.

"Wow~ Don't get excited."

As if he could foretell a prophet, the intruder dodged Desmond's attack with an easy panning step.

While Desmond's center of gravity was unstable on the ground, the intruder reached out and kicked Desmond's buttocks, and at the same time pulled William in his hand in front of him, blocking the shooting track of Rebecca and Sean who were pointing guns at them.

"Shaun Hastings, and Rebecca Crane, right?"

Just like Sean said, if you want to open the Great Temple, you must have the Golden Apple, and it is of course Lu Xiao who uses the "Altai II" to forge Gavin Banks' email...... Or his special squad.

Desmond hurriedly turned around as he got up from the ground and stood firm, the intruder's left hand clasping William's neck, and dragging an unknown stranger with his right hand, who seemed to be unconscious.

"Wait! Don't shoot just yet. ”

Desmond had confirmed that the other party was the best of the best from the previous round of electric and flint exchanges, and he reached out to stop the nervous Rebecca and Sean, who had always been logistics personnel and had little actual combat experience.

William, who was caught, also raised his hands to signal to the three of them to calm down temporarily, and he asked the unknown hijacker behind him in a calm tone: "Friend, who are you?" ”

Seeing Rebecca and Sean pressing down the pistol slightly, Lu Xiao chuckled and let go of William.

"I have no ill will towards you, but I have come from far away to assist you out of good intentions."

William, who was released, sensed the kindness of the other party and motioned for Rebecca and Sean to lower their guns, and Desmond withdrew the ejected Hidden Blade.

At this moment, the unconscious man who was caught by Lu Xiao suddenly burst out, picked up the pistol that William Myers had dropped to the ground, turned around and shot Lu Xiao in the head continuously, until the bullet in the magazine was empty.

However, something frightened the man happened, the bullet hit Lu Xiao's arm in front of his head and had no effect, and the leather armor with a very classical style completely blocked all the attacks of the pistol bullets.

"It's not a loss that a sage with a high concentration of Isu bloodline wakes up from a coma several times faster than a normal person."

Lu Xiao patted the crumpled clothes at the gunshot, and the next second, it appeared in front of the stunned "Sage" as if teleporting, and a ferocious palm cut into his neck.

The blood flow to the major arteries in the neck was forcibly blocked, the "Sage" rolled his eyes and fainted again, and the pistol with empty ammunition fell to the ground again.

William slowly retreated with his hands on the three team members, and Desmond also sensed a strong sense of threat from the unknown intruder with his sixth sense, but the other party did not seem to be hostile to them.

In Desmond's eagle vision, the other party's logo was not hostile red, but the blue represented by the melon-eating crowd, but the "sage" on the ground was shiny red.

William looked back and forth at Lu Xiao, and asked with a puzzled voice, "Altaïr armor?" How did you come to own this artifact? ”

Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "It's not important, the important thing is that you must find a way to stop this disaster that is destined to sweep the world before December 21, 2012, that is, the end of the world that is coming tomorrow, right?" ”

Lu Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed at the bearded man who fell to the ground: "This guy's name is John Standish, one of the Sages of the past generations, Mr. Miles, as a contemporary Assassin Mentor, you should be able to understand what the term Sage means, right?" ”

William nodded slowly, and explained to the unknown Desmond tried: "The Sage is a special being with a super high concentration of Isu bloodline, and in the long history, there have been many legends of the Sage around the world. ”

"They alternate in favor of the Templars and sometimes join the Assassin Brotherhood, and to this day, the Templars and Assassins have not fully understood the origin of the Sage."

"Let the Isu themselves explain this to you."

"Aletea."

With Lu Xiao's call, Altheria's energy phantom appeared indoors, and the four Williams subconsciously took a step back, they didn't expect to see a "living" Isu here.

Alethia was curious about Desmond, and although he was not the heir to Alletea's responsibility, Desmond Miles' presence was also a very important part of Minerva's calculations.

"Hello, human, I'm the Isu Aletya, time is pressing, I'll make a long story short, the so-called Sage ......"

While the other three were listening intently, William devoted some of his attention to Lu Xiao, who was leisurely looking around at the camp layout.

The mysterious man of unknown origin concealed his appearance with a hood, and he could only be inferred from the skin color of his exposed chin - Asian race.

William always felt as if he had seen this man somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Lu Xiao sat in front of Sean's seat, skillfully manipulating his computer to flip through the information.

Sean, who had just finished listening to Altheya Science, was about to open his mouth to get rid of Lu Xiao, who was messing with his personal belongings, but when he saw the familiar sitting posture of the other party, Sean, who was in charge of sorting out the classification materials in William's team, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"You! Impossible, right? Are you the man in Leonardo da Vinci's painting?! ”
