> "League of Assassins? ”

The bow across the North Atlantic, Qin Beiyang was more interested in the latter.

"Have you ever heard of Assassins?"

"Assasin's Heavenly Garden?"

Anna remembered Professor Wang's extended reading in the Peking University class, and also remembered the passage of "The Feud of Monte Cristo".

"The Persian and Arab Assassin sects of the Middle Ages were a source of fear throughout Eurasia. They trained the Assassins in the Alpine Castle, and regarded assassination as a shortcut to the kingdom of heaven. In the end, it was the Mongol expedition that conquered Persia and wiped out the Assassin Order, which the Yuan History calls the 'Wooden Thorn Kingdom'. ”

"I hate assassins the most!"

Ouyang Anna remembered her father who was killed, as well as "Sister Ayou". Qin Beiyang tugged at her sleeve, afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her and leak her mouth.

"All kinds of unreliable legends, such as Alexandre Dumas and Scott's, there have been many mysterious 'artisan unions'."

“Free-Mason？”

Qin Beiyang remembered the English letters written by Haneda Taiki with his finger dipped in sake.

"Not bad." Li Longsheng always glanced at the nine-colored glass-colored eyes, "I also heard that the Craftsmen Alliance reveres two sages, one is Aristotle in ancient Greece, and the other is Mozi in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in China. ”

There are two huge portraits at the meeting of the Artisan Union, an ancient Greek and an ancient Chinese, presumably these two.

"Aristotle and Mozi are both encyclopedic masters of the 'Axial Age' of human civilization. Aristotle established Western logic and metaphysics, and determined that all celestial bodies are material entities, and the earth is composed of four elements: water, air, fire, and earth, and made great contributions to physics, mechanics, optics, and biology until it was replaced by Newton. ”

Qin Beiyang remembered the library of Kyoto's No. 3 High School, Professor Yamamoto's words: "Mozi is not inferior, right?" ”

"Of course, Mozi is not only a thinker who loves, does not attack, and defend, but is also proficient in physics, mechanics, and optics, and is also a master craftsman, especially good at war machines."

"Ancient Greece and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mankind in the twentieth century seems to have returned to that era."

"Straight to the point!" Li Longsheng looked at the skyline of the Atlantic Ocean, "It is said that the founder of the Artisan Alliance, the first Great Venerable, once helped the Mongols conquer the Heavenly Garden of Assasin and destroy the Assassin Order, so the two sides formed a bond. ”

"The history of mankind after the Middle Ages is the history of the secret war between the League of Assassins and the League of Artisans, two secret organizations?"

On the ship crossing the North Atlantic, Qin Beiyang's vest was chilling - he had been to the alpine lair of the Assassins, graduated from the "Heavenly Academy" that resembled Assasin, and had recently become a junior member of the Craftsman Alliance. Shaped like a double spy, he must be hunted down by both sides at the same time.

"The profession of assassin will never go away! It's like the craft of a craftsman, passed down from generation to generation, never interrupted. ”

After the fall of the Assasin Order, the League of Assassins was re-established in the Caucasus Mountains, bringing together Assassins from the East and the West. It is said that many of the greatest assassinations in history were the involvement of the League of Assassins – Prince of Orange William the Silent of the Netherlands, Henry IV, the first king of the Bourbon dynasty of France, and Tsar Alexander II of Russia. ”

Qin Beiyang and Ouyang Anna could hear it, so they moved a small bench and sat in front of the beautiful man doctor.

"The Artisan Union is also changing history! Seafaring helped Columbus discover the New World; Firearms helped the burghers defeat the feudal knights. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen intervened in many behind-the-scenes struggles. The most famous example is the American Civil War. The Artisan Union supported the Northern Union because the Artisans developed the Industrial Revolution and opposed slavery; The League of Assassins supported the Confederacy, but it had nothing to do with slavery, but what the Artisans supported, the Assassins against! ”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend? This was the logic of the Assassin's thinking. Understand that it was no accident that President Lincoln was assassinated in the same month as the victory in the Civil War. ”

"What about the world war that just ended?"

Anna asked, the purpose of the diplomatic delegation's trip was to go to Paris to solve the post-war problems.

"There is a saying - the Craftsmen League supports the Entente, and the Assassin League supports the Allies."

"Dr. Li, you are a Cambridge Doctor of Physics, why don't you join the Craftsmen Union?"

"First, the Union of Artisans only accepts craftsmen who have been passed down from generation to generation; Second, the Artisan Union excludes highly educated people, and a Cambridge Ph.D. like me doesn't even have a door. ”

"Rejecting high education?"

Qin Beiyang remembered that when he joined the Craftsman Alliance, the gatekeeper Schmidt specially asked about his academic qualifications, and it turned out that he didn't finish his first year of high school...... Fortunately, he didn't say what he graduated from the "Heavenly Academy".

"There's a third point – the Artisan Union only accepts male members."

"Ridiculous!"

Anna is most concerned about the topic of gender equality, and she considers herself a feminist.

Li Longsheng squatted down and looked at Jiuse and said, "That night in Manhattan, New York, Harlem, I have witnessed its majestic appearance!" However, it doesn't fit the canine profile, can I take a look at its teeth? ”

Qin Beiyang's complexion changed, and Jiuse did not have the sharp canine teeth of a dog, but a row of parallel teeth, which was not conducive to biting and more conducive to chewing, although it never ate or drank water.

"I'm sorry, it won't listen to you."

Jiuse also glared at Li Longsheng with glass-colored eyeballs, crouching beside his master, disguised as a cat and a dog.

"When he was a student at Cambridge University, he used to listen to paleontology professors in his spare time. The oddly shaped animals are most likely surviving species from antiquity, so-called 'living fossils', such as the Australian platypus, the monitor lizard of the Comoros, and the Chinese cat and bear. ”

Anna asked more: "Mr. Li, you are so knowledgeable, did you study in Europe since childhood?" ”

"I was born in Beijing, and my parents have long since died. At the age of 20, I went abroad to study abroad, studied at Cambridge for eight years, and just got my doctorate. ”

It's Longxi Chengji again! Li Tang's royal family looked at it, and Qin Beiyang remembered Li Botong of Longxi Hall in Deshengmen, Beijing.

"Descendants of the Tang Dynasty royal family?"

"I am a direct descendant of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and my father named me Li Longsheng, inheriting the meaning of Kaiyuan Sheng. But I haven't found Yang Yuhuan yet! ”

Li Longsheng glanced at Ouyang Anna with his peripheral vision, and the hint couldn't be more obvious.

In the spring in the North Atlantic, the cold sea breeze blew Anna's curly black hair, she took Qin Beiyang's arm, flashed her glass-colored eyes and said, "Then you have to have a daughter-in-law first!" I don't want to die in Ma Weipo. Even if the king uses the country to exchange my favor, the little woman only thinks of the former alliance of wood and stone! ”

Qin Beiyang stared at her glass-colored eyes, and suddenly, there seemed to be a raging fire in her lungs, and countless silver needles pierced her heart.

He began to cough violently, as if he was about to vomit his heart and lungs into the sea. Li Longsheng handed out a handkerchief at the right time. Qin Beiyang's face was pale and slumped on the deck, and a large pool of blood plum blossoms on his white handkerchief was ......

Anna rubbed his chest anxiously: "Beiyang, what's wrong with you?" I'll take you to the doctor! ”

"No, I know why."

He was already angry, staring directly at the nine colors, the heart of this small town tomb beast, the spirit stone, emitting fiery energy, burning the young life of his master.

Since slaying the dragon in the East China Sea Dharma Mountain, the Nine Colors have devoured the heart of the Evil Dragon Town Tomb Beast, and the Boy and Girl Town Tomb Beast Spirit Stone of the Yoshino Ancient Tomb Tomb Tomb Beast in Nara, Japan, and the power has become stronger and stronger. Sometimes the heat emitted in the middle of the night makes people dizzy, even nauseous and vomiting, and they are discouraged......

Qin Beiyang's remaining life is running out.
