After Giovanni left a promise to leave, Lu Xiao fell into deep thought in his room.

The Codex is 30 pages in length, scattered all over Italy, and it is impossible for me to remember the location of each one of them over the years. ’

But only six Assassin Tombs were different. ’

Lu Xiao touched his chin with all his thoughts, "If my memory is correct, two of the six assassin tombs are in Florence and two are in Venice, a water city in northern Italy. ’

The remaining two tombs, one in San Gimignano and one in a castle called Forlì, were significantly less difficult to collect than the large number of Codexes. ’

Venice and Forlì aside, Tuscany alone is home to three Assassin catacombs.

Among them, the tokens in the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore have been taken out by Lu Xiao, and Giovanni sent someone to send them back to the Auditore Church.

Then Ya sped up. ’

Obtain the Assassin token in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to travel to San Gimignano and search for Rodrigo Borgia in the search for the Assassin Crypt. ’

……

After all, Giovanni and La Volpe were middle-aged veteran assassins, and their years of experience had allowed them to develop their own set of values and outlook on life.

Although they were momentarily confused by Altaïr's criticism of the Assassin's Creed, they both quickly came to their senses and reaffirmed their convictions.

According to Lu Xiao's understanding, the Assassin's Creed is not always static.

As the adage goes, everything is false and everything is allowed.

Sticking to your life creeds and sticking to them is the right way to carry on the Assassin spirit, rather than being caught up in an endless struggle with the Templars because of hatred and faction rivalry.

In this regard, Lu Xiao was more sympathetic to the idea of a traitor to the Assassin Organization in the future.

During their millennia of struggle against the Templars, the Assassins had a time of upholding justice like the Italian Brotherhood in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Templars of this era, led by Rodrigo Borgia, had clearly gone astray, and the Assassins were truly righteous and just.

But there is light and shadow, and in the 18th century, the Mentor Assassins of the New World branch of the Brotherhood made a big mistake because of his excessive attachment to the Eden artifact, which directly led to the earthquake that killed countless innocents in Port-au-Prince, Lisbon.

In the same way, the Templars were not villains at every point in their history, and they had periods when they were dedicated to guiding the world towards good, and even had the Templar Grand Master willing to work with the Assassins to build a better future.

Like the moderate supreme ambassador of the Knights Templar branch in France in the 18th century, François de la Serre.

Unfortunately, the fundamental philosophical differences between the two organizations made it difficult for the two organizations to work together for a long time, and there were many within the Templars who were adamantly opposed to working with the Assassins, and the two eventually parted ways.

As an outsider, Lu Xiao was able to stand more calmly and soberly outside the hatred of the two organizations, and examine the ideas of both the Assassins and the Templars from an objective perspective.

Now that the Templars are stumped by obsession and are running wild in the direction of depravity and corruption under the leadership of Rodrigo, Lu Xiao is naturally willing to help the Assassins set things right.

But in the unlikely event that one day the Assassins would go to extremes for various reasons, Lu Xiao would not mind being like Shay Komack and temporarily accepting the guidance of the Father of Insight to reintroduce the Assassins to the right path in another way.

Giovanni, who returned to normal, continued to keep Uberto Alberti under surveillance, and he soon found some clues under the careful search.

Uberto Alberti is almost certain to have betrayed the Medici family, secretly linking up with the Patch family and a certain cabal against the Medici.

Although Giovanni was bitter about the betrayal of his best friend, as an Assassin with strong faith, he quickly adjusted his mindset and shared the information he received from Uberto's house with the Florentine Brotherhood.

"Uberto and the Cabal often meet in the crypt of the church of Santa Maria Novella."

Giovanni gritted his teeth and said to himself: "The party has been held secretly countless times, but I have never doubted Uberto because of my trust in him, which is my dereliction of duty. ”

Lu Xiao had received relevant information from Giovanni before, and Uberto would go to the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella to attend Mass every Sunday.

Paula waved her hand disapprerovingly and said, "Giovanni, skip your self-examination and get back to business." ”

"Have you found out who the cabal is?"

Giovanni glanced at Paola gratefully, and nodded solemnly: "Basically, it has been clarified, in addition to Jacob, Francesco and Vieri of the Uberto and Pache families, there are four other cabals that are expected to participate in the subversion of Medici's rule." ”

"Antonio Maffei, Francesco Salviati, Bernardo Baroncelli and Stefano Bargone."

The cunning fox La Volpe touched the corners of her eyebrows with a headache: "They are all people who have a lot of energy in Florence or Tuscany, and I know Bernardo better among them." ”

"My thieves had already found out that he was secretly smuggling some weapons into the city while being a banker of the Patch family, but I didn't expect him to be a member of the Templars."

"In addition, Bernardo also goes to the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella every Sunday, and it seems that they took advantage of this opportunity to meet in secret."

"Sunday......" Giovanni said categorically, clenching his fists, "we must know more about this cabal, at least when and how they intend to overthrow the Medici family." ”

Lu Xiao stood up at this time and said: "Leave this task to me, recently I found a secret assassin's mark on the outside of the New Virgin's Basilica, which is exactly the same as the mechanism I found at the top of the Church of the Hundred Flowers of Our Lady, and it is likely that it is also a secret mechanism." ”

"I speculate that this mechanism should be connected to the secret passage into the Assassin Crypt beneath the Basilica of Our Lady."

"Oh?"

La Volpe said with some surprise, "It just so happens that my thieves have also discovered the Assassin mark disguised as a skull. ”

"I have the same opinion as Lu, the assassin tomb under the Basilica of Our Lady of the New Lady should be connected to the basement of the church, we can send someone to sneak into the passage before the Sunday to search, and maybe we can eavesdrop on some important information in the tomb."

……

At Lu Xiao's voluntary request, Giovanni agreed to his suggestion.

Accompanied by La Volpe, the two made their way to the secret office of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella.

"Click~"

Lu Xiao pulled the skeleton in the same way, and the skeleton carving that had been reassembled turned into an assassin's mark, and a secret passage to the underground was revealed in the sound of the mechanism.

La Volpe patted Lu Xiao's back and promised, "Don't worry about going in, the thieves and I will help you take care of the back road." ”

"Everything is unknown in the tomb** department, you must be vigilant when you sneak alone."

Lu Xiao gave a thumbs up freely: "No problem, I'll hand it over to you behind my back, don't let people discover this secret passage." ”
