Lu Xiao didn't look at it on the surface, but her heart suddenly chuckled.

"Ancestor? What do you mean? ”

Lu Xiao observed the expressions of Desmond, Sean and Rebecca out of the corner of his eye, just like William, they all looked like they were taken for granted, obviously knowing what William was talking about.

Lu Xiao's eyes were on the Animus who was being carried to the car, and his heart suddenly moved, "Could it be that the ancestral memory that Desmond is pursuing is not Ezio, but me?" ’

In fact, as Lu Xiao had guessed, except for some genetic fragments that had been deliberately blocked by the system, Desmond had experienced everything from Lu Xiao's initial arrival in Italy to his departure from the world of Assassin's Creed.

Censored footage includes his secret conversation with Kassandra at the ruins of Atlantis, as well as most of the system-related memories.

The genetic map they obtained first came from Rousseau Lilao, the child of Caterina and Lu Xiao, and the mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins after Ezio.

The Miles family inherited Rousseau's paternal bloodline, and although they were puzzled if they could continue to explore Lu Xiao's genes, the DNA memories of the legendary Assassins of many generations after Rousseau alone were enough to make them gain a lot.

After receiving William's detailed explanation, Lu Xiao's mood was a little complicated, although it was not his intention, he still left an indelible footprint in the world of Assassin's Creed.

"I originally intended for Rousseau to live his life in peace as an ordinary nobleman, why did he end up joining the Assassin Order?"

"Creation makes people."

William handed Lu Xiao a cup of strong coffee that he had brewed, and Sean, who had a strong historical background, explained to Lu Xiao: "In the era when Rousseau Lirao lived, Italy happened to be invaded by France led by Charles VIII. ”

"Rousseau Lirao was born in Forlì, the capital of Romagna, the second wave of Italian territory besieged by French troops after the fall of Lombardy."

"Nominally, Rousseau was the son of the previous Romagna lord Girolamo, but the members of the Brotherhood at the time were well aware that this was just a pretense, and that Rousseau's biological father was a legendary Assassin of the East."

Next, Sean's series of embarrassing blows made Lu Xiao very uncomfortable, and later assassins listed all of Lu Xiao's achievements one by one, and beautified them by themselves.

These include Lu Xiao's defeat of the Templar Grand Master Rodrigo Borgia twice, and leading the Italian Brotherhood to uncover the true secrets of the Roman Vault, which Leonardo da Vinci called a close friend who inspired each other's hearts.

It was through Minerva's prompt in the Roman vault that Desmond found the Altaïr Golden Apple, which was recovered by Rousseau and Ezio from Istanbul and then buried under the Colosseum, and successfully entered the Grand Temple on the American continent through this "key".

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have a question, as far as I know, Rousseau should not have inherited my Isu bloodline, how did he become an assassin?" ”

William continued, "Not all Assassins have Precursor blood. ”

"There is an old saying in the East that hard work makes up for mistakes, and Rousseau Lelao grew up in the special context of the French invasion, his hometown of Romagna was destroyed by the French, and Rousseau and his mother Madame Sforza had no choice but to flee to Florence for refuge."

"With a desire for revenge, Rousseau, under the rigorous training of his mentor Ezio Auditore, and with his own hard work, he developed the ability to see with an eagle's eye."

This was something that Lu Xiao hadn't thought of, but he had indeed heard of a similar situation from Mario a long time ago.

Some were born with the Isu lineage, but they did not awaken the ability of Eagle Vision until the moment of their natural death.

And some people obviously don't have the blood of the forerunners, but they can get the weaker Eagle Vision with the hard training of the day after tomorrow.

According to William, the elite contemporary Assassin Gavin Banks is a living example.

Lu Xiao originally planned to remove the threat of Juno and Corona Projectile and separated from William's team, but the secret information that Sean and others told him aroused Lu Xiao's curiosity, making him unconsciously follow William's team for an extra distance.

The situation facing the Assassin Brotherhood today is not much different from that of ancient times.

The Templars still maintained good relations with the official powers, but this time they did not deal with the authorities as a Knights, but as wealthy capitalists, secretly manipulating the course of development in various capitalist countries.

Abstergo Industries, this is the new disguise that the Knights Templar have put on themselves.

William was the mentor of the Brotherhood, and with the Grand Temple out of business, he still had a lot to discuss with Gavin Banks, who was in charge of Altaïr II.

Without the pressure of the older and more serious William, the three young people led by Desmond immediately gathered around Lu Xiao.

Among them, Sean, a scholar who is familiar with ancient and modern history, is most interested in Lu Xiao's experience over the past few hundred years.

Rebecca, a technician, was more concerned about the two Isu who stayed on Lu Xiao's body, while Desmond wanted to be mentored by Lu Xiao, a legendary veteran who had lived for hundreds of years, in terms of assassin skills such as combat and stealth.

Although there were countless generations in between, Desmond was indeed a descendant of Lu Xiao's bloodline, and his request for advice made Lu Xiao feel a little soft-hearted, agreeing to follow them for the time being, and answer some of the Assassin Order's questions about ancient history.

"I know you're curious about why I've survived from the Renaissance to the present."

Lu Xiao turned the bracelet buckled on his left arm back into the prototype, and the golden double snake staff appeared in front of the three of them, and even William, who was driving, couldn't help but look through the inverted mirror.

"This is the Staff of Hermes Trismegistes, and those who passed it on to me disliked the name and simply called it the Staff of Hermes."

"Just as you guessed."

Seeing the desire for knowledge in the eyes of the four people, Lu Xiao answered their questions briskly: "The Staff of Hermes is one of the Eden artifacts left by the Isu civilization, and its biggest effect is to freeze the life of the holder. ”

Lu Xiao spent nearly an hour telling the four people present the secrets of the Isu civilization he knew, and Alethea would occasionally add a few words.

As she was about to enter the port town closest to the Grand Temple, Aletheia, who was answering Rebecca's question, suddenly paused.

"Lu Xiao, someone is trying to hack into the car radio channel in an attempt to eavesdrop on our conversation."

Altheia's reminder did not surprise Lu Xiao, as early as when he entered the main highway connecting the various cities, Lu Xiao's sixth sense began to warn him, and someone nearby was secretly monitoring the SUV.

"Guys, we're in trouble."

Lu Xiao turned on his eagle vision and glanced around, with a high concentration of Isu blood, his eagle vision limit observation distance was far above Desmond, and his sixth sense was also sharper than him.

On a small hill next to the avenue, two armed men wearing tactical vests and holding high-powered sniper rifles have already pointed their guns at the SUV in which William's team is riding, ready to open fire at any moment.

The two snipers were also flanked by a number of similarly hostile red companions, who may have been planning to refrain from sniping at the SUV for the time being.

"Altheia, reverse track the radio signal and mark the detailed location of the enemy on the car navigation map."

William was also taken aback by the large number of red dots that appeared on the map, although he had already guessed that the Templars would find their tracks, but he did not expect that the speed would be so fast and so many people would come.

"There are about 100 people, which is a large-scale transfer of personnel for modern society."

Lu Xiao held his chin in his hand and groaned, "William, your goal should be to go to the port to rendezvous with Altaïr II, right?" ”

William: "That's right, but it doesn't seem to be going that well. ”

Keeping all the red dots on the navigation map in mind, Lu Xiao put his hand on the car door and said to the four of them with a smile: "It's a pleasure to chat with you, at least let me know that my bloodline is still the inheritor." ”

Desmond stood up in surprise: "Senior, are you ......?"

"Wow!"

Lu Xiao opened the rear door of the SUV and jumped out of the car that was driving at high speed, and with his strong body balance, he only stumbled on the ground for two steps before regaining his footing.

With his back to the fast-moving SUV and thumbs up, Lu Xiao said goodbye to Desmond and the others through the headset he had obtained from William not long ago.

"Go, I'm just a passerby in this world now, the future belongs to you, let me, an old guy, help you buy a little time."
