With the help of the maid, Lu Xiao changed into a set of clothes commonly used by men when they went out in this era.

To be honest, this stupid outfit made him very uncomfortable.

Regardless of the upper body, the beautifully made medieval lining and trimmed vest look pretty good, but the half-cut bloomers on the lower body are so ugly that Lu Xiao is powerless to complain.

The maid even asked Lu Xiao to put on a pair of white stockings under the bloomers, but Lu Xiao resolutely refused without hesitation.

After all, he doesn't have a dressophile......

When Giovanni first met Lu Xiao, the Assassin brother from the Far East was still tugging at his clothes uncomfortably.

"Hehe~" Giovanni lowered his head slightly and chuckled: "It seems that you are very uncomfortable with this kind of clothes, maybe it is caused by the cultural conflict between the East and the West." ”

Giovanni is a middle-aged handsome uncle with a very aristocratic demeanor, compared with Mario, who has a rough appearance and personality, Giovanni is more in line with Lu Xiao's impression of ancient European aristocrats.

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and sat on the chair opposite him at Giovanni's signal: "If I can, I would like to change into a set of clothes that are more convenient for movement, this kind of half-cut bloomers...... I really can't appreciate it. ”

Giovanni nodded gently: "No problem, I will ask the tailor at home to measure your body data and tailor a set of clothes that meet your requirements, please bear with me for now." ”

"Straight to the point."

The smile on Giovanni's face slowly retracted, and he reached out and tapped the envelope on the table: "Mario's letter mentions that you have completed his training mission perfectly, and I will teach you assassination and stealth techniques for assassins. ”

Giovanni put the leather armarmor that Mario gave to Lu Xiao on the table and asked, "Have you studied this armour?" Any thoughts? ”

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "There has been a preliminary inspection on the road, and there is a pocket blade hidden inside the arm armor, which should be the hidden blade commonly used by assassins, right?" ”

"That's right."

Giovanni put on his armarmor and expertly popped out the sharp blade with a flip of his wrist.

"The three principles of the Assassin Brotherhood are not to kill innocents, to hide their tracks in plain sight, to be part of the crowd, and not to endanger the Brotherhood alliance."

"The Hidden Blade is based on the second principle, and it is the weapon we use the most in our daily missions."

Giovanni didn't go around in circles and say a bunch of big truths, he went straight to the point and introduced the use of the Hidden Blade to Lu Xiao in simple terms.

"According to ancient sources, the original use of the Hidden Blade was to cut off the user's ring finger, and the hook ring was pulled with the little finger to eject the blade from the severed ring finger."

"With the help of Altaïr, the Mentor of the previous Assassins, this more ceremonial design was completely abolished, as the lack of a ring finger was too conspicuous for the Templars to easily identify an Assassin."

Giovanni raised his wrist to demonstrate to Lu Xiao, and the blade of the Hidden Blade popped out of his wrist again with ease.

"The improved Hidden Blade no longer requires a deliberate pull on the hook ring, but instead relies on the pressure generated by shaking the wrist to trigger the trigger to make the blade pop out."

Removing the armarmor and handing it to Lu Xiao, Giovanni motioned for him to try it himself.

"You try to get familiar with the use of the Hidden Blade as soon as possible, tomorrow there is a mission that the Brotherhood needs to dispatch, Mario mentioned in the letter that your bow skills are very strong, you can join me in a team, just in the form of actual combat to show you how to hide and complete the assassination."

……

Giovanni kept his word, and after the secret conversation ended, he quickly recruited a special tailor from the Auditore family to measure Lu Xiao's body, and make a few sets of regular clothes for Lu Xiao to change of clothes as soon as possible, and two sets of hooded assassins to wear for assassination.

The first night at the Auditore House was peaceful, with only the core members of the Auditore family attending the small welcome party, and Federico and Claudia, whom they had not seen before, were very friendly to welcome Uncle Mario's friend.

Claudia, who is not yet 14 years old, has a middle-to-upper appearance and a relatively round face, and her attention to Lu Xiao is more out of curiosity about different races, and she has never seen an Oriental before.

Federico's gaze was more intriguing, obviously he had learned Lu Xiao's true identity from his parents.

The young and vigorous Ezio was still a little unhappy with Lu Xiao, who had become the focus of everyone, and had been pulling Federico with an ugly face during the banquet.

The eldest son of the Auditore family, with a playful smile on his face, teased his younger brother with words, and soon provoked Ezio to the end.

……

The first night was spent safely, and the next morning, Lu Xiao changed back into the travel clothes that had been cleaned and dried by the maid yesterday.

Giovanni asked the bank for leave early through Lorenzo's channels, and the middle-aged handsome uncle also had a set of thorny customer service with a white background on the bed.

Maria made a casual excuse and asked Federico to take Ezio, Petruccio, and Claudia out with them.

Giovanni broke aside his maids and servants, and expertly climbed up the courtyard of his house, leaping onto the roof with a few strokes of force.

"Forehead ......"

Lu Xiao saw Giovanni squatting on the edge of the roof and casting encouraging glances at him, so he could only learn Giovanni's movements and slowly climb up.

Stretching out his hand to pull Lu Xiao, who had climbed under the roof, Giovanni quipped: "In the future, you should practice more climbing in the city, Ezio, who has not yet officially received assassin training, is more agile than you." ”

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes, 'Nonsense, you have been training your son since a few years ago, how can I, a halfway monk, compare with him. ’

Giovanni's joke subverted his influence in Lu Xiao's heart, originally Lu Xiao thought he was a handsome uncle who upheld aristocratic elegance, but he didn't expect Giovanni to have such a witty side.

Sure enough, there is a father and a son, and there is a reason for the character development of Federico and Ezio. ’

Compared to the endless flow of ground, the rooftop space in Florence is significantly more open.

Led by Giovanni, Lu Xiao followed him a little awkwardly, parkouring all the way to his destination along the way.

From the initial rustiness to the gradual adaptation, Lu Xiao's progress speed is really beyond Giovanni's expectations.

"You adapt very quickly, running freely on the rooftops of the city, and most importantly letting go of the fear of heights, so that you can make bold moves with your hands and feet."

When it comes to the speed of learning and progress, Lu Xiao himself feels strange.

Although he was already exercising with jogging, he maintained a good level of physical fitness, and he could quickly get started in Mario's combat training.

But after only half a year, he completed all the training, and even Mario, who is experienced in mentoring juniors, was amazed.

Is it the system? ’

Lu Xiao's system is very Buddhist, and he never takes the initiative to speak out at other times, except for issuing tasks and important tips when necessary.

Fortunately, there will be things in the system, such as Lu Xiao's personal data panel.

Host: Lu Xiao

Strength: 8 (5)

Dexterity: 9 (5)

Constitution: 7 (5)

Spirit: 6 (5)

From the panel, there was no reason for Lu Xiao's rapid progress, the only thing that was questionable was the inexplicable inherent talent of the race.

'Human will? What the heck...... Do humans still have this racial talent? ’
