Assassin's Creed, one of the signature games of Tudou (Ubisoft), Lu Xiao also played the latest Odyssey at home not long ago.

From the original Assassin's Creed 1 to the recent Odyssey, there have been many canon sequels to Assassin's Creed, and it's hard to tell the timeline he's in based on a medieval classical castle alone.

After all, even in modern times, there are still many relatively intact medieval castles in Europe, and the possibility of him traveling to a modern timeline cannot be completely ruled out.

The system did not intend to tell him the specific time of Lu Xiao's crossing, and after the world mission was released, it fell completely silent, without giving any hints, and Lu Xiao could only explore the world on his own.

As the sun gradually rose to mid-heaven, Lu Xiao, who was standing in a daze in the wheat field, began to feel the temperature of summer.

Fortunately, there was a cool breeze blowing from time to time on this unknown plain where a lot of wheat was grown, and Lu Xiao finally didn't suffer too much when he left the wheat field and went to the distant castle.

As he got closer to the small castle built on the hill, the bright sunlight was blocked by the towering city walls, Lu Xiao also began to see some sparse passers-by on the dirt avenue.

At first glance, it is clear that these pedestrians are peasants, dressed in dirty and simple clothes, and it is difficult to tell the exact age from their clothing.

However, judging by their chattering conversations, as well as the surprised and defensive eyes that looked at him, Lu Xiao obtained some of the most basic information.

'Latin, like Italian?' And this kind of surprised reaction that has not seen the Orientals, and this primitive and muddy loess avenue...... At least it's not modern. ’

When it comes to Italy, Lu Xiao has a certain grasp of the Assassin's Creed timeline he has traversed, but then there is a very real problem.

'How am I going to communicate with these locals......

Lu Xiao's troubles didn't last long, a small team of knights rode up dust and galloped from afar, and a small number of pedestrians on the road hurriedly and respectfully moved to the side of the road.

"Wow!"

The neighing of horses woke up Lu Xiao, who was deep in thought, and five knights in uneven clothes clenched their weapons in their hands and surrounded him with a guarded attitude.

Lu Xiao looked at these big men with poor attitudes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, trying to communicate in the only foreign language he had learned in his 25 years of life: "Uh...... Hello？ ”

……

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao was escorted into the city wall by five knights who did not understand the language with a depressed face.

The small castle is inhabited by a small number of people, and a rough estimate of the number of houses in this city is probably less than 1,000 people.

As soon as he entered the main road of the city, Lu Xiao saw the dilapidated manor on the stairs at the end of the road with the vision bonus brought to him by clairvoyance.

The most striking thing is not the manor house itself, but the carved decoration attached to the small fountain facing the avenue.

Although the exquisite carving made a certain degree of disguise, Lu Xiao, who had a preconceived idea in his heart, saw the hidden information of the fountain carving at a glance.

It is an irregular triangle, with a sharp upper part and a relatively rounded curved line at the bottom.

The Assassin's emblem.

Sure enough, I was crossing the timeline of Assassin's Creed 2, Monteriggioni, the territory of the Auditore family. ’

Although the manor above the steps looks desolate and dilapidated, and there are a large number of emerald green creepers hanging on the walls of the manor, the overall appearance is still very conspicuous, this is the Auditore Manor in Lu Xiao's memory.

The crisp sound of metal clashes came from above the stairs, and a strong, middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an ancient European aristocrat was engaged with several armed men in the small square in front of the manor.

When the five knights escorted Lu Xiao to the front of the square, the noble man was still at ease under the attack of many people.

"Bell!"

The sword blocked the broad-bladed axe of one of his opponents, and the aristocratic man turned the sword with skill to unload the opponent's strength, cutting at the opponent's flawed neck at a strange angle.

The long sword paused for a moment beside the armed man's neck, and the axe-wielding man, who knew that he was out, withdrew from the battle circle with interest, and the noble man maintained his flexible movement in the middle of the attack, defeating all the opponents who attacked him one by one in a matter of minutes.

"Whew~"

The middle-aged nobleman who put his sword back in turn stood in place and adjusted his breathing.

Finally found an opportunity to speak, and the leading escort knight reported the situation to the aristocratic man who was panting in Italian that Lu Xiao did not understand.

As the nobleman who was suspected of being a lord turned around, Lu Xiao finally saw his true face.

The sturdy aristocrat had a majestic face, his left eye seemed to have been blinded, and there was no brilliance in his open eyes, and a hideous scar ran through the eye from top to bottom.

Such striking features made Lu Xiao have a certain identity in his heart'Mario Auditore, the brother of the banker Giovanni, the uncle of the old pervert, and the contemporary leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. ’

In the world of Assassin's Creed, the Assassin is not sweet...... The dispute between the two Templar organizations runs throughout.

Lu Xiao was tasked with collecting the Pieces of Eden, and most of the Pieces of Eden, or information related to them, were under the control of the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar.

In order to obtain the Pieces of Eden, the intelligence networks of the two organizations are indispensable, and the only difference is which side to join.

In the successive games of Assassin's Creed, the player has played the role of an Assassin for the most part, and many people have a great affinity for the Assassin and a deep prejudice against the Templars as the game's villains.

However, in Lu Xiao's view, the Assassins and the Templars only had a conflict of ideas on how to guide the people, and there was no difference between the two purposes.

The Assassins believed in the emancipation of humanity and the use of free will to inspire the development of new human ideas and boundless creativity.

The Templars, on the other hand, wanted to exercise their ruling power in the name of order, guiding and enlightening humanity to establish a utopian and peaceful world under their control.

The idea of freedom and order, the two is irreconcilable, and from distant antiquity, the two sides began to clash endlessly, even continuing into the modern day of the Assassin's Creed worldview.

From Lu Xiao's personal point of view, there was no absolute right or wrong between the Templars and the Assassins, and it would not be conducive to the development of human civilization for either side to achieve complete victory.

Neither absolute freedom nor absolute order is a good thing for the course of the world.

The secret struggle between the two sides has promoted the change of the times to a certain extent, and this state of opposition between the two heroes is the most suitable for the world.

However, in the timeline of Assassin's Creed 2, the Assassin Brotherhood is a better choice than the Templars who have deteriorated internally.

The Grand Master, who held the authority of the Templars, went down the wrong path, corrupted by the immense power and deviated from the original ideals of the Templars.

Excluding the Templars' choice, the key to Lu Xiao's mission to complete the task would fall on the Assassin Brotherhood.

It just so happened that the one-eyed aristocratic man in front of him was the leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, and as long as he could be convinced, Lu Xiao would be able to gain access to the Assassin Brotherhood's vast intelligence network and the opportunity to learn about the Pieces of Eden scattered around the world.

So the question is, how do I convince Mario to believe in me and invite me to join the Brotherhood without a language barrier? ’

Mario looked at Lu Xiao with his only remaining right eye for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to his chest, asking a question in a slightly questioning tone.

"Huh?"

Lu Xiao, who couldn't understand Italian, followed Mario's fingers and lowered her head, shocked to find that a silver necklace was hanging from her chest, and the pendant part of the necklace was carved with eye-catching Assassin Brotherhood symbols.

'Forehead ......'

Lu Xiao's brain crashed for a moment, and then he recalled the prompt given by the system before.

I see, is this what the system calls a one-time newbie benefit? ’
