June is almost over, but the catacombs of Paris are as cold as late autumn.

Qin Beiyang looked at the face of Fangzi beside him, and then stared at the face of the ghost mask, and then remembered that in that nightmare of the "Kingdom of Heaven", he had seen this face, which was beside Meng Po.

The people who appear in the dream are real......

Assemblies of the League of Assassins.

The Arabs, who had met Qin Beiyang, walked to the tomb of Louis XVI in fluttering clothes. Next to him was a slender young Frenchman, wearing a suit and tie that didn't look like an assassin. Facing hundreds of Assassins from all over the world, the Frenchman raised the iron plate of the pentagram and shouted: "Everyone, on behalf of the Assassins, I announce that the Assassins League Conference has officially begun!" ”

There was a commotion below, and I almost pulled out my gun and opened fire. Qin Beiyang, Qi Yuanshan, and Fangzi shrank in the corners of the walls full of skulls, trying not to be recognized.

Qin Beiyang secretly thought to himself - the Assassin Alliance and the Artisan Alliance, this is a pair of happy enemies who have loved and killed each other for six hundred years. Even though they have diametrically opposed purposes, they behave in the same way, and they are all medieval-style secret societies.

"I am an anarchist who believes that all mankind is brothers and sisters, and the kings have made us kill each other, killing tens of millions of young lives with machine guns, barbed wire, and gas bombs. What is Nationalism? It's the cancer of the twentieth century! ”

The French anarchists who presided over the Assassin Conference aroused the suspicions of many in the audience, and soon heard the shout: "Long live Indian independence!" ”

"Long live Korean independence!"

"Long live the independence of Armenia!"

The Assassins, who came from small and weak colonial countries, shouted slogans to express their defense of nationalism.

The young French did not panic, waved their hands and said: "We respect the idea of small and weak peoples to defend their right to self-determination, and we also oppose racial discrimination, and all ethnic groups are equal." Tonight, choose to meet in front of the tomb of Louis XVI in the Catacombs of Paris, because he was the only king to die on the guillotine. ”

Yoshiko softly translated French into Chinese. Qin Beiyang thought in his heart that Charles II was also executed by Parliament during the English Revolution, but the guillotine had not yet been invented at that time, and the executioner used the traditional way of beheading.

"The Paris Peace Conference was not a meeting of peace, but a meeting of the victors to share the spoils. Weak nations must unite against the great powers doing whatever they want - the small clerks who have not yet dried up draw a few borders on the map at random, which decided the fate of millions of people and planted the seeds of a second world war. The French became more and more vehement, and walked back to the Arabs, "who gave birth to a country called Iraq, which was stuffed with Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Assyrians, and Jews, and became a British colony." Then there was Syria, with the same diverse ethnic groups and sects, which became a French colony. ”

"The Versailles Triumvirate – French Prime Minister Clemenceau, British Prime Minister Lloyd Georges, and US President Wilson – they are the enemies of the whole world!"

Suddenly, the assassin wearing a ghost mask standing beside Ah Yu said a word in skilled French.

Ah You raised his arm, and everyone was silent. She enjoyed a high status among the Assassins. She muttered a Chinese saying: "There are traitors among us!" ”

Ghost Mask is translated into French, English, German, Japanese, and Arabic.

Mole? traitor

More than a hundred assassins exchanged ears and looked at each other to see who the traitor was next to him.

As a junior member of the Craftsman Alliance, Qin Beiyang was a veritable "traitor" when he infiltrated the Assassin Alliance's conference. He clenched the ring-headed Tang knife, and Qi Yuanshan also put his hand on the gun, ready to fight to the death.

And behind them, there were a dozen or so heads, hiding a pair of resolute gray eyeballs. A curly beard that covers almost half of his face, and a fox hunting hat, like a ruthless assassin.

But he was not an assassin, he was the sheriff of the Paris police station, and what Ah Yu called a "mole", and the jet-black beard was disguised.

There was an Asian beside Xavier, wearing a black top hat and a suit, and even wrapped around his neck, covering the lower half of his face - Ye Kenan, the famous detective of the Beijing Police Department, under his trademark thick eyebrows, a pair of sharp eyes had already probed the back of Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan's heads.

A few hours earlier, Ecknan had visited the Paris Police Department and learned about the Assassins' League meeting. Among the Assassins who came to Paris, in addition to the Arab descendants of the Assassins, it is said that the highest status was a group of Assassins from China. This is also the reason why Sheriff Xavier invited Ye Kenan to participate in the case, otherwise he would not have looked at the Chinese more. Soon after, the German delegation in the Latin Quarter was assassinated, and a Polish Assassin was captured and killed by biting through the cyanide. But Xavier retrieved a Pentagram of Assassins from him.

Following this clue, the Catacombs of Paris, where the League of Assassins Convention was held, were finally found.

Xavier marveled at the Assassins' thoughtfulness, the catacombs were like a vast labyrinth that no one had ever walked through. The police could not carry out the siege because the exit connected all over Paris. He decided to infiltrate the Assassins first to investigate the details of the Assassins and their plan of action, so that he could have a chance to catch them all.

None of the police officers in Paris dared to carry out this mission with Xavier, and everyone knew that the assassins were cruel, and once exposed, there was no place to bury them - wrong, the Catacombs of Paris, save the purchase of a cemetery!

Only the Chinese Inspector Ye Ke volunteered to fight alongside his French counterparts.

They were simply disguised, each carrying two pistols and self-defense weapons such as daggers. Entering the catacombs in advance, Yeklan and Sheriff Xavier easily killed the janitors, seized the tunnel map, and went to the secret graveyard of Louis XVI according to the map, and infiltrated the Assassin League assembly.

Hearing the word "traitor" of Ah You, Ye Kenan pulled his nose with his scarf again, like a masked man - this is also the standard configuration of assassins, there are more than a dozen masked ones in the field, and there are a few one-eyed dragons.

He stared at Ah You, who was in the spotlight on the stage - this fourteen-year-old girl on Dharma Mountain in the East China Sea, a fifteen-year-old girl in Leiyin Cave in Fangshan, Beijing, is only sixteen years old now, what is the origin? Become the master of the Assassins?

"For the sake of justice in the world, we must not only kill the triumvirate, but also kill the emperor's head."

Ah Yu spoke again, and it was still the Ghost Mask Assassin who translated for her.

Qin Beiyang at the bottom secretly thought - how could she have such a bitter hatred for the emperor? Always thinking about cutting off the emperor's head?

Ten years ago, in the secret room of Emperor Guangxu's Chongling Underground Palace, a six-year-old girl, A You, was almost buried by the old eunuch for the emperor - and her twin brother has been frozen in the ground forever by mercury, this is the source of her hatred?

Ghost Mask continued: "In the past four years of world wars, the Craftsman Alliance has secretly supported the Entente, if the Big Three are allowed to divide the world...... For more than 600 years, we have lost the war between the League of Assassins and the League of Artisans. ”

The French anarchist said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I announce the plan of action of the League of Assassins - tomorrow is the day of the Treaty of Versailles, for the sake of the oppressed and weak peoples, for the sake of permanent peace throughout the world. At one o'clock in the morning, we set off from here and headed to the Palace of Versailles to assassinate Clemenceau, Lloyd-Georges, and Wilson. ”

Before the words fell, there was a cheer below.

"There are more than a hundred people attending the Assassins' League conference, but the Palace of Versailles is heavily guarded, and we only have one way to sneak in. In order to avoid being discovered by the guards, only thirteen top assassins were allowed to participate in tonight's operation. ”

"Thirteen places, meaning Jesus and his twelve disciples?"

Someone asked a question below, and the Frenchman nodded and said, "Yes, that's the idea." ”

Qin Beiyang made a rough calculation, which meant that tonight, 90% of the assassins here would be eliminated.

Sure enough, the French anarchists said: "Guys, only the strong who survived will be given a place in the operation." The best of them will be rewarded with the Assassins' Golden Dagger! ”

A tall man walked up to the stage, and the Chinese Assassins' master, Ah You, bowed respectfully to him.

The man was an Arab in his sixties, dressed in a black robe, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, a beard that dragged down his cheeks, eyes like a falcon, a tall and straight nose, and thin lips on both sides.

He is the heir to the Assassins today.

The old Arab hero raised his right hand, a glittering golden dagger, wrapped in a Moroccan leather sheath set with several Indian gemstones. Pulling out the crescent-shaped dagger, the tip of the hook catches the eye, and the cold light sparkles in the air, like a meteor falling. The surface of Louis XVI's sarcophagus, on the tip of the nose of the statue of the King, is cut out with a deep imprint. If it's a real person, not only will you not be able to keep your nose, but you may also lose your lips.

"The Assassins know that this Assassins' golden dagger is the heir of his ancestor Huo Shan, who has assassinated many medieval European monarchs and the knights of the Crusaders."

There was a commotion and commotion below, and people were eager to try. The golden dagger was not exclusive to the Arabs, since the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, they belonged to other peoples, such as the Turks, Persians, Indians, and even Albanians. Whoever gets this dagger is the highest honor in the Assassin world, and he is directly promoted to the great leader of the Assassin League.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Assassin Test is about to begin - the loser may die! The loser can die! The loser can die! The French said three times in a row as a warning, "Give everyone three minutes to think about it, and those who are afraid can quit the ...... immediately."

Everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, some of the timid withdrew one after another. Three minutes later, there were about half of the Assassins left in the catacombs, and a rough count of sixty heads.

Qin Beiyang, Qi Yuanshan, and Fangzi all stayed. A few feet behind them, Sheriff Xavier and Detective Yeke were also immovable.

The Grand Leader of the League of Assassins, the old Arab Assassin, nodded: "Begin!" ”

The anarchist pulled out a hammer and slammed it into Louis XVI's sarcophagus, smashing the marble statue of the king to pieces...... Everyone present was surprised and wondered, could it be that the assassins had to rob the tomb before they were tested?

The blood-warming jade pendant on Qin Beiyang's chest began to get hot.
