"Bang!"

Although Lu Xiao said that he was going to fight Dante, the Hidden Gun hidden in the armor of his right arm took the first step to fire at Marco, who was lying on the ground and wailing.

The screams came to an abrupt end, and Marco's wide eyes fell backwards, leaving him with a small blackened hole in his forehead.

"You! Look for death! ”

The employer was killed in front of him, and Dante, who had a simple thinking circuit, angrily raised his two-handed sword to attack Lu Xiao.

"Whew!"

The heavy two-handed sword slashed down on the head, and the violent wind-breaking sound when the sword body cut through the air made Lu Xiao dare not make a hard connection, and rolled sideways to the left, deftly dodging the sword.

It is not Lu Xiao's style to only defend and not attack, retracting the sleeve gun in his right hand, Lu Xiao held a short knife in each hand, and stabbed Dante's side waist with both hands.

Dante is not wearing armor and is more agile than a heavily armored warrior.

Stepping back to dodge Lu Xiao's attack, Dante skillfully folded his heavy sword back and slashed at Lu Xiao from the bottom up.

The back road was blocked, Lu Xiao made further efforts under his feet, and with the help of the forward momentum, he struck behind Dante, the short knife in his left hand cut through his lake-green aristocratic coat, and the short knife in his right hand was struck at the back of his neck with the hilt.

Dante is nearly 2 meters tall, much taller than Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao can't reach the opponent's head in the forward posture, so he can only aim at his neck to attack.

Although Dante's fighting instinct is still there, the damage to his brain affects his combat strategy, and he loses the lead by Lu Xiao's routine.

"Hmm!"

The hit in the back of the neck made Dante let out a muffled snort, but the big man did not fall unconscious on the spot as Lu Xiao expected, and continued to raise his leg and kick backwards in the pain.

"This guy's physique is too buggy!"

Dodging Dante's counterattack, Lu Xiao regained his distance and looked at Dante in disbelief with one hand covering his neck and holding a giant sword in one hand.

It's good to kill Marco first, otherwise you might have neglected to make up for him when you fought with Dante. ’

In the face of such a powerful warrior who is explosive in force but not very smart in his brain, the best way is to outwit.

Lu Xiao observed the height difference in Marco's room, and thought of the next countermeasure while dodging Dante's attack.

"Huh!"

Throwing out the hook lock made by Leonardo da Vinci to the beam of the roof, Lu Xiao pulled himself up with his arm, and soon disappeared from Dante's field of vision by jumping three times on the beam.

It took a few seconds for Dante, who had not had enough brains, to realize what he should do, and he slammed his shoulder into the door and planned to chase him out.

"Brush!"

Dante stepped on a ball of iron chains as soon as he went out, and before he could react, the chains immediately tightened, and Dante was hung upside down under the beam under Lu Xiao's remote pull.

"Tsk! This guy is so heavy! ”

Tying the other end of the hook lock to the supporting column of the castle with difficulty, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked to a position five meters away in front of Dante to observe from a distance.

"Despicable! If you still think you're a warrior, put me down, and we'll win and lose with dignity! ”

Lu Xiao ignored Dante's two-handed sword that was angrily waved upside down, and said with a smile: "You seem to have made a mistake, I am not a warrior, but an assassin, why should I face you head-on?" ”

The Assassins sought results, and as the Creed stated, everything was allowed, and any means could be used to achieve victory, including but not limited to frontal combat.

Originally, Lu Xiao planned to give Dante a painful pleasure and let him get relief from this miserable life, but Dante's extraordinary sixth sense dispelled his thoughts.

Dante has a good physique, but after all, he is only a human being, and after being hung upside down, he acted indiscriminately without common sense to speed up blood circulation, and it didn't take long for him to roll his eyes and faint because of brain congestion.

……

With Marco's death, there was no commander in the castle who gave orders.

When Lu Xiao hung Marco's body on the castle tower for public display, the morale of the Barbarigo family's private soldiers immediately collapsed, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot, trying to obtain leniency from the governor.

The next work is not the area that Lu Xiao is responsible for, and the bargaining with the governor of Mocenigo will be handed over to Antonio, and Lu Xiao will hand over the unconscious Dante to Bartolomeo, who is also very strong, and ask him to bring this stupid big man back and lock him up temporarily.

Dante's wife, Carlotta, was not taken to the castle by the cold-natured Marco, and when Dante was found to be safe, the middle-aged woman, who was quite old but still charming, hurried from the Barbarigo family's estate.

Leonardo da Vinci examined the unconscious Dante and found a large scar at the back of his head, spanning most of the back of his head.

"It is a miracle that he survived with an attack on the back of the head, and it is impossible for him to recover his memory."

Lu Xiao had a mysterious smile on his face: "Normally, this is true, but ...... Leonardo, you also know that there are certain things in this world that are unreasonable. ”

Leonardo da Vinci's face moved: "You mean, the Eden artifact?" ”

"That's right, I'm going to contact Giovanni and Mario and try to test the effect of the Shroud with Dante."

Teodora frowned and asked, "Are you sure the Shroud can be useful for old wounds from the past?" The Brotherhood hasn't been able to determine the true purpose of the Shroud yet, has it? ”

Bartolomeo was also not optimistic about Lu Xiao's decision: "There is another problem, according to Giovanni and Mario's research, the Shroud can only resist the side effects to a certain extent if it has the blood of the Precursors, Dante...... Does he have that qualification? ”

Lu Xiao nodded: "When fighting Dante, I found that his sixth sense is very sharp, and his physical fitness is ...... Don't you think it's too much? ”

Bartolomeo nodded hurriedly: "This guy is a monster, I think he is infinitely powerful among ordinary people, when Dante tried to escape before, I felt powerless for the first time when wrestling with people, but fortunately Carlotta came in time to persuade this guy." ”

Although Dante has lost all memories of his past, he still instinctively listens to Carlotta, and only Carlotta can convince him to be quiet.

Antonio heard the implicit meaning of Lu Xiao's words: "In other words, you are planning to leave Venice?" When? We haven't had time to thank you yet. ”

Lu Xiao waved his hand again and again: "I am also a member of the Brotherhood, so I don't have to be so polite, and I still have some things to deal with in Venice, so I won't leave immediately." ”

"By the way, Rosa, come here."

With that, Antonio beckoned a rather flamboyant-looking female thief outside the door to come in and place a familiar stack of pages on the table.

"Agostino has handed over the seven Altaïr Codex pages in the possession of the Barbarigo family as promised, and we have secured the remaining four pages, which should be available in the near future."

"Also, the Assassin Tomb you are looking for, we have also determined the location according to the hidden skull mechanism, in the Church of Our Lady of the Visitor and St. Mark's Basilica."

Antonio and the three of them hugged Lu Xiao sincerely: "Since you don't want to hold a celebration banquet with great fanfare, we will repay you with practical actions." ”

"During your exploration of the two Assassin Catacombs, the Venetian Brotherhood is guaranteed to recover the city's four remaining pages."
