Chapter 285: The Inheritance of Faith
As a person who controls time to a certain extent, Lu Xiao has always thought that the statement of predetermined fate is very mysterious, and there is no need to believe in it.
The words of the curse wrist can be understood in another way, and can be translated as King Hassan only beheaded those who should be beheaded.
But who should be beheaded and who should not be beheaded is completely up to Wang Hassan himself, and outsiders can't force it.
As early as when the system released the name of the new world, Lu Xiao began to speculate about Alayah's intention to throw him into the Sixth Persona Zone.
The Assasin Order was one of those possibilities he speculated.
As the founder of the Assasin Order, the first Hassan, if Lu Xiao is really connected with the Assasin Order, it is likely to be related to Wang Hassan.
It's not that Lu Xiao looks down on the rest of the 18th generation Hassan, but their strength can be described as very different compared with Wang Hassan.
The Assasin Order has a rule.
If the contemporary Hassan goes to the Temple of the Late Bell to turn to the first generation, it means that he is unable to take on the responsibility that the name Hassan Sabah represents.
Wang Hassan will come to the aid of the modern Hassan, but at the cost of cutting off the head of the Hassan as punishment.
For this reason, King Hassan is also known as the Hassan who killed Hassan.
The curse wrist is the sixth anomaly, and the contemporary Hassan, unless it is a last resort, he will not take the initiative to go to the Evening Bell Temple to kill himself.
Out of kindness, he reminded Lu Xiao a few words, and seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, the cursed wrist no longer continued to persuade.
The pact with the people of the mountains has been formalized and the tasks have been assigned, so all that needs to be done is to act according to the plan.
Fujimaru and Matthew set off south in an all-terrain vehicle made by Leonardo da Vinci to try to convince Ramses II to fight against the Lion King.
Leonardo da Vinci stayed in the village and worked with Romeni to find out how to solve the problem of food shortages.
Lu Xiao also said goodbye to the cursed wrist, Arash and Bedwell, who had not yet recovered from the village, and set out from the north of the village to climb higher in the mountains.
The Evening Bell Temple is located at the summit of this mountain range, and according to the local word of mouth, the temple where King Hassan lives is also known as the Yazlar Temple, which means Angel of Death.
As the altitude climbed, the oxygen content in the air became thinner, and the beasts of the mountains disappeared, replaced by a large number of half-crazy monsters and wandering ghosts.
Lu Xiao continued to climb while slaying the demonic beasts and necromancy, and at the same time began to adjust the rhythm of his breathing to adapt to the rapidly changing oxygen environment.
The mountain road leading to the Evening Bell Temple was narrow and rugged, and the closer he got to that simple temple, the more Lu Xiao could feel the breath of death seeping into his soul.
The surrounding undead should have been attracted to this and acted as the gatekeeper of the Evening Bell Temple in disguise.
"Bell~Bell~"
When Lu Xiao finally climbed to the gate of the Evening Bell Temple, the big bell on the upper floor of the temple suddenly rang automatically inexplicably.
"Uh......"
Lu Xiao felt a little furious in his heart, the evening bell was not a good omen, maybe this was Wang Hassan's last warning to him.
As a sacred place in the line of Hassan Sabah, the Temple of the Evening Bell is completely closed to the public.
The reason why Curse Wrist and Bai Maung revealed the situation of the Evening Bell Temple to Lu Xiao was because they felt a specious aura of sectarian belief from this stranger, and mistakenly thought that Lu Xiao was related to the Assasin Sect...... Of course, it is actually related, but the world is different.
"Suck~exhal~"
About to meet the symbol of death, the crown Assassin, Lu Xiao took a deep breath and adjusted, stabilized his emotions, and then stepped across the completely open door of the Evening Bell Temple.
The area of the Evening Bell Temple is not large, and the entire temple has only one main building and a tower with a large bell hanging from it.
After entering the Evening Bell Temple, the first thing that caught Lu Xiao's eyes was the statue of the Angel of Death standing on both sides.
The statues' outstretched hands were folded together, and a faint blue fire burned in the palms of the two statues, providing a dim and frustrating cold light for the Evening Bell Temple.
Ever since he stepped into this temple, Lu Xiao's sixth sense began to send him an uninterrupted warning, and the continuous threat like a pinprick made the hairs on Lu Xiao's body stand on end.
There was no human breath in the entire temple building, and I don't know if it was an illusion caused by excessive pressure, Lu Xiao always felt that there was a lingering ghostly scream in his ears.
"Who is coming, and why did you trespass on the Evening Bell Temple?"
An abrupt low voice sounded from behind Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao didn't feel the slightest sense of the person's approach.
Alert and quickly turned around, what appeared in front of Lu Xiao was a tall figure wearing metal armor and a skull mask on his face.
The man's body was surrounded by lingering dark blue ghosts, unconscious souls that did not cause any harm to the armored man, as if they had become a part of his body.
This tall man with a skull mask is none other than the owner of the Temple of the Evening Bells, the first Hassan of the Assasin Order, the Man of the Mountain.
Silently staring at Lu Xiao for a moment, Wang Hassan asked again in a deep voice.
"Assassin, you have some of the beliefs of the Assasin sect, tell me the truth, and I will consider punishment for you trespassing in the Temple of the Evening Bell at my discretion."
Lu Xiao is also a person who has been through storms for a long time, and the panic and panic only lasted for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"It's an honor to meet you."
"I come from another parallel world, and I was once fortunate enough to be trained by the Assassin Order."
"Assassin...... Organization? ”
Wang Hassan is no stranger to the existence of parallel worlds, and his focus is on the second half of Lu Xiao's sentence.
After a moment of silence, Wang Hassan asked again: "Not the Order, but the Organization?" ”
"Yes."
Lu Xiao replied solemnly: "During the time of my training, the Middle East headquarters of the Assassin Order was breached by Hulegu, a descendant of Genghis Khan, and the titular Assassin Order perished. ”
"But the spirit of Assasin was not broken, and the five crusades allowed the cultures of the Eastern and Western worlds to come into exchange with each other, and the core ideas of the sect flowed into Western Europe, and branches of the Assassin Order were established in various European countries."
Wang Hassan seemed to be very interested in Lu Xiao's story, and instead of rashly attacking, he listened with great interest to Lu Xiao's description of the Assassin Organization in the other world.
"All things are allowed, all things are false?"
"Hum Hum Hum ~"
As Lu Xiao recited the aphorisms of the Assassin Order, Wang Hassan's emotions visibly fluctuated, and a low, happy laugh erupted from under his mask.
"As you said, the religious structure of the reorganized Assassin Order and the Assasin Order is vastly different, but the core idea remains the same."
"Very good."
The eyes exposed from Wang Hassan's mask suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the door of the Evening Bell Temple closed by itself under the action of an unknown force.
"An assassin from another world, you took the initiative to ask for help despite the advice of all appearances and curse wrists, you should have come to your senses in advance, right?"
"Boom!"
A two-handed giant sword appeared in Wang Hassan's hand and plunged deep into the ground inside the temple.
"As the inheritor of the Assasin Faith and the original leader of the Assasin Order, I give you a chance."
Wang Hassan pulled out the giant sword that was inserted into the ground with one hand, and his body turned into a dark blue soul fire and disappeared in the temple.
"Through my trial, I will absolve you of the offense of trespassing on the Evening Bell Temple."
"Show me all you can do, 'Mentor.'"
