Nicole is the original name of the female demon general who possessed Dugu Ningke's body, and she was the heroine of Xuanyuan Jiansan's True Story on the other side of Yunhe Mountain...... One.

Today's Nicole has not undergone Fu Xiqin's 99 years of soul purification, and is a ruthless Western demon pioneer.

As long as there is an opportunity, Lu Xiao will never have any softness on her.

"Do you like to stand on the roof so much?"

The sudden female voice behind her made Lu Xiao, who was a little distracted, regain her spirits, and the person who came was Tuoba Yuer.

Yu'er stepped on the roof tiles and walked to Lu Xiao's side, and looked at the Dugu County Mansion in the northwest corner of Daxing City with him.

She didn't have clairvoyance like Lu Xiao, and she could only vaguely see the outline of the county king's mansion.

The structural map of the Junwang Mansion that Lu Xiao handed over to Yu'er was very detailed, and even his route suggestions were recorded, like a fool's sneaking into teaching.

Moving her gaze to look at the majestic palace of Daxing City, Yu'er's eyes became a little complicated.

"Still can't put it down?"

Lu Xiao followed Yu'er's gaze to look at the palace, and with his eyesight, he could clearly see the brightly lit Taiji Palace even at night.

took out the Hidden Blade armour that had been specially made for Yu'er from the carry-on space, and Lu Xiao threw it to Yu'er.

"If you want to infiltrate the palace to assassinate Yang Guang, I can make a sneak plan for you and provide you with the most suitable weapon for assassination, but ...... Are you sure you really want to do it? ”

Yu'er hurriedly caught the arm armor thrown by Lu Xiao, and asked confusedly, "What is this?" Arm guards? ”

"Heh~"

Lu Xiao chuckled, stretched out his hands to show Yu'er, shook his arms to trigger the mechanism, and ejected a pair of Ulu Hidden Blades in the middle arm armor.

"This is the Hidden Blade of Hidden Blade, a sect heritage weapon that I acquired in my early years of traveling around the world."

"Because it is very concealed and the wounds caused are small, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most suitable weapon for close assassination."

Under Altheya's analysis, Lu Xiao was already familiar with the mechanism design of the Hidden Blade.

After explaining to Yu'er in detail how to eject the Hidden Blade, the girl quickly became interested in this novel weapon.

"Depending on your personal usage habits, the Hidden Blade set can also be equipped with a variety of matching folding pocket weapons."

Lu Xiao showed Yu'er a folding crossbow and a folding longbow made by Leonardo da Vinci, because firearms were far from appearing in this era, it was very inconvenient to replenish gunpowder and projectiles, Lu Xiao did not show the sleeve gun to Yu'er.

Yu'er happily popped out and put away the Hidden Blade, she didn't plan to add too many weapons to her armarmor for the time being until she learned to use the Hidden Blade proficiently.

After playing around for a while, Yu'er complained to Lu Xiao a little speechlessly: "You diverted the topic in the morning, now you can tell me, how old are you?" ”

Lu Xiao shrugged with a smile: "Who knows, maybe 30, 40?" I can't remember. ”

The speed of time flow between the worlds is different, and Lu Xiao himself can't remember how many years he has experienced in each world.

As more and more worlds are traversed, Lu Xiao's concept of age is becoming more and more blurred, and Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, who have gained immortality because of the materialization of their souls, cannot see their actual age at all from their appearance.

Yu'er shook her head helplessly, and no longer pursued this issue in depth.

"Forget it, let's talk about your sect."

"What kind of organization needs to make this weapon specifically for assassination?"

Lu Xiao: "You have accepted the inheritance of the Hidden Blade, and I originally planned to tell you the beliefs and concepts of the sect before leaving. ”

"My sect is called the Assassin Order, and judging by the name, you should be able to understand what this order stands for on the surface."

The Sui Dynasty was in the 6th-7th centuries AD, and the Assasin sect active during the Crusades was far from established.

Considering this, Lu Xiao did not explain the origin of the sect, skipped it vaguely, and directly told Yu'er about the purpose and philosophy of the sect.

"The core philosophy of the Assassin Order is only eight words."

"All things are false, all things are allowed."

"But it's not that easy to understand these 8 words, and each person's Assassin's Creed will have some differences depending on the experience."

Waving her hand to signal Yu'er to sit down on the roof of the inn, Lu Xiao explained to her face-to-face the conventional understanding of the Assassin's Creed.

"Everything is empty."

"Everything in the world is impermanent, and even the same thing will not remain the same forever."

"Assassins should not be bound by formalized things, nor should they be limited by inherent ideas."

"Everything."

"Dogma is only an instruction, it cannot be blindly taken as a code of conduct, and everyone's creed must be perfected by themselves."

"The Assassin Order has three principles."

"One, don't kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Two, hide your whereabouts in plain sight and become a member of the crowd."

"Three, never endanger the Brotherhood."

After saying the three principles seriously, Lu Xiao deliberately spread his hands to relax the atmosphere: "Although it is said that there are these three principles, you don't have to treat them as iron laws. ”

"As I have taught you before, the core idea of the sect is the liberation of the free will of the world, and at the same time the effective guidance of the people's behavior with proper order."

"If one day you find that the idea of the organization is contrary to the original purpose, you can think about it and make your own decision whether to continue to follow the rigid dogma."

"There has been an Assassin in history who defected from the Order, but he did not violate his beliefs and lived up to his ideals from beginning to end."

"That's one way to interpret everything."

Seeing the confused expression on Yu'er's face, Lu Xiao smiled and rubbed her head: "It may be too early to tell you this, you are not a real assassin yet, try to act according to the concept of an assassin first." ”

"If you meet my standards before the end of the operation to repair the Marks of the Sky, I will formally invite you to join the Order as a mentor of the Assassin Order."

"Now, I'll ask you again."

Lu Xiao straightened her face again: "Tuoba Yu'er, what is your decision?" Do you want to infiltrate the palace and assassinate Yang Guang to avenge the murder of your parents? ”

Yu'er's eyes were very entangled, she subconsciously ejected and retracted her Hidden Blade, and the faint sound of a mechanism touching continued to be heard from the top floor of the quiet inn at night.

"Hey~"

After hesitating for a long time, Yu'er finally sighed: "Forget it, what can you do even if you kill Yang Guang?" My parents never came back to life. ”

"Yang Guang's death will only further exacerbate the already turbulent situation, so that the troubled times will come sooner, and there will definitely be more people who have lost their parents in the cruel war like me."

Lu Xiao nodded noncommittally and said, "I respect your decision, this is your own conclusion after independent thinking." ”

Standing up from the roof and moving his body, Lu Xiao continued to Yu'er: "Remember the hesitation and hesitation when making an important decision today, and don't let the cruel chaotic times paralyze your senses. ”

"When you are gradually numb because you have seen too many joys and sorrows, think back to today's experience and re-examine yourself."

"Are you still acting of your own will? Or under the coercion of the troubled times, he unconsciously began to drift with the tide. ”

People living in this era are bound to make choices in troubled times, and Lu Xiao hopes that Yu'er can always remember her original intention of forgiving Yang Guang, which is a symbol of her benevolent heart.

It's the privilege of being a young person to be confused and uneasy, and these difficult decisions will be an important cornerstone for your continued growth. ’
