Chapter 22 Unintentionally planted willows and willows

When Lu Xiao sat on the dome platform with palpitations and gasped for breath, the system's prompt sounded at this time.

"Congratulations to the host, crossing the crisis of life and death in the climb, the passive skill freerunning is upgraded to D, and the agility is rewarded with 1 point."

The last time I watched the panel, Lu Xiao's agility was 9, which was the highest of all the basic attributes.

After receiving this sudden +1 bonus, he reached 10 points of agility twice as fast as a normal adult male.

"Increasing your skill level can also get attribute rewards?"

System: "Limited to skills that are improved by personal training, E-D rewards 1 point, and an additional +1 bonus points for each level up, and the type of base points awarded is related to the skill classification." ”

I see. ’

Lu Xiao suddenly groaned: "Free running is classified as an agility skill, the next time you are promoted from D to C, it will become 2 points, and the final A-S will reward 5 points?" ’

However, A-S is too far away, and it is even more difficult to rely on self-training to improve. ’

After taking a breath, Lu Xiao got up and tried to move his body, and he could indeed feel that the flexibility of his body had improved slightly, and more changes would take a period of actual testing and adaptive training.

Retracting his thoughts, Lu Xiao turned his attention to the assassin's tomb in front of him.

In addition to a statue of a female Assassin holding a medicine bottle, there are a number of "funerary goods" placed near the gray-white marble sarcophagus in front of the statue, many of which are beautifully crafted precious metal necklaces and jewelry, as well as many paintings and small statues of unknown origin.

There is also an almost identical statue in the Sanctuary of Auditore, which represents the former Assassin Iltani.

Her greatest achievement was the poisoning of Alexander the Great, who was hailed as the King of Conquering, and was therefore regarded as one of the great pioneers by later generations of Assassins.

Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to these belongings, he went straight to the sarcophagus with skull decorations carved on the side.

Lu Xiao, who had already known the mechanism, stretched out his hand and pulled the skeleton carving hard, and the delicate mechanism automatically completed the reorganization and changed into the assassin's badge pattern.

"Click~"

The heavy sarcophagus coffin lid revealed a gap with the activation of the mechanism, and Lu Xiao pushed the coffin lid open, and a "corpse" wrapped in red cloth was stored inside.

I don't know if this corpse is real or fake, and Lu Xiao has no interest in exploring it, he just takes out a striking stone disc from the side of the corpse, and the surface of the disc is engraved with the mark of a medicine bottle, indicating that this token comes from Iltani.

"Side quest trigger: Collect six Assassin tokens to obtain the artificial artifact, Altaïr's armor."

"Reward: A chance to draw a prize above the World Excellence level or a prize of your choice at the Premium Level."

Lu Xiao smiled unexpectedly, "Sure enough, the side quest has been triggered, and the reward is the same as collecting Altaïr's Codex, and it is a relatively long quest line." ”

After finishing the business, Lu Xiao took the time to search for the nearby collections.

He was not greedy, but simply took a few of the most precious ornaments that seemed to be the most prized, which would be divided between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Florence City Hall when the church was renovated later.

Climb up the ladder that descends after the sarcophagus is opened, and the mechanism that opens the dome leads to the exterior of the church, from the top of which you can directly enjoy the view of the city of Florence.

Since the Florentine lord Lorenzo Medici was still at Mass in the church, the vicinity of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore was extremely well guarded.

Lu Xiao simply sat on the top of the church and watched the scenery for a while, until Lorenzo led a large number of his guards to leave, and then Lu Xiao returned to the Auditore mansion through the roof platform.

As soon as he got home, Giovanni appeared and called him over.

"How? Is there a catch? ”

Lu Xiao took out the stone plate on his chest and handed it to him, and Giovanni immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the token carefully.

"That's right, the shape fits perfectly with the statue mechanism of the Underground Sanctuary."

Giovanni put down the stone plate and patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder with relief: "Well done, I finally found one of the six tokens, I hope I can make persistent efforts in the future." ”

"Where are you going to go next?" Do you think there would be other Assassin catacombs in Florence? ”

Lu Xiao looked immobile on the surface, and smiled ambiguously: "Maybe there will be, maybe not, recently I plan to explore the places of interest in the city one by one, and use the elimination method to find them one by one." ”

"Don't talk about that."

In order to avoid Giovanni's continued questioning, Lu Xiao turned the topic to the crisis in Florence: "Mr. Giovanni, have you gained anything from surveillance?" ”

Giovanni shook his head: "Uberto is also a devout believer, today he went to the Church of Santa Maria Novella alone to attend Mass, and did not find anything unusual for the time being. ”

Uberto Alberti, the Florentine standard-bearer of contemporary justice, in charge of the Law and the Trial, was known by the Florentine locals as the Consul and one of Giovanni's most trusted friends.

However, under Lu Xiao's reminder, Giovanni realized that his best friend had the suspicion and motive of betraying the Medici family.

Uberto was a lawyer in his youth, and his family had a feud with the Medici family, and because of the recklessness of some of his relatives, all the Alberti except Uberto were exiled from Florence by the Medici family.

Uberto did not hold a grudge against the Medici family on the surface, and sincerely confessed and apologized to the Medici family with a good attitude that was praised by countless people, and proved his position with practical actions over the years.

As a result, he was valued by Lorenzo and Giovanni, and became a high-ranking official in the city of Florence, and Lorenzo personally accepted his position as the standard-bearer of justice.

In fact, Uberto's betrayal was not without warning, but Giovanni, as the head of the Florentine brotherhood, failed to find him out in time due to the interference of darkness and personal relationships, which directly led to the tragedy of the Auditore family in the original plot.

Under the guidance of Lu Xiao, Giovanni temporarily got rid of the influence of personal feelings and looked at all the high-level officials in Florence from an objective point of view, and the first one to be suspected was Uberto, who had a grudge against the Medici family.

Being targeted by an elite assassin, Uberto, who already has a ghost in his heart, will sooner or later show his feet, and Lu Xiao can be regarded as repaying the Auditore family for taking care of him in this way, so that they can avoid the crisis of being exterminated in the future.

……

Although Lu Xiao was 80% sure that he would be able to find the second Assassin Crypt in the Church of Santa Maria Nueva, he deliberately spent a lot of time searching for various places of interest in Florence in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Brotherhood.

As the saying goes, during Lu Xiao's cover-up action, he accidentally discovered the whereabouts of three pages of Altaïr's Codex, two of which were wild and had been recovered by Lu Xiao and handed over to Giovanni to decipher.

One page of the Codex contains Altaïr's experience with the Hidden Blade and assassination techniques, while the other page contains Altaïr's in-depth analysis of the Assassin's Creed.

He reflected on the idea of the Assassins through the Templars' satire on the Three Principles of the Brotherhood.

To most Assassins, the contents of Altaïr's Codex, labeled 04, were somewhat deviant, and even radically upended the Brotherhood's philosophy.

However, Lu Xiao saw this as a symbol of Altaïr's escape from the organizational constraints of the Assassins and a higher level of overseeing the overall situation, as well as the beginning of his escape from his mere killer positioning and truly becoming a great Assassin mentor.

Giovanni and La Volpe, among others, were troubled by the sarcasm of the Three Principles of the Assassins in the Altai Codex, and had been somewhat absent-minded lately.

Lu Xiao didn't pay attention here, he used this time to complete the preliminary training of the double hidden blade, and further enhanced his combat effectiveness.

Compared to these two unattended pages, the third Codex page is more troublesome.

Once again, the Templars discovered the pages before the Brotherhood, and with their protection, they were kept in a mansion in Florence near the market.

In order to avoid a repeat of the last robbery, this time the Templars planned to act cautiously, not to be alarmed for the time being, and to wait for the follow-up orders from the higher-ups.

Coincidentally, this mansion is one of the properties in the name of the Patch family who had a feud with Lu Xiao some time ago.
