Schmidt walked into the center of the hall and joined the ranks of twelve black-robed craftsmen - a sword in his right hand, a crossbow in his left hand, dressed in craftsman's attire and wearing a peaked cap, representing the twelve disciples of the first generation of the Great Venerable Qin Jin, who have now evolved into twelve gatekeepers. Above their heads hung the "One-Eyed Pyramid", just like the hidden symbol of the cross bow on Qin Beiyang's waist.

In the corners of the Great Sanctuary were countless huge objects that could not be accessed from the basement of the murderous mansion, and there must be a spacious entrance to secretly transport them underground.

This time, the Great Venerable did not say a word, and Schmidt spoke on his behalf, just as he did four years ago: "Members of the Artisan Alliance! Great craftsmen from all over the world, please chant in unison the artisan motto - the craftsman will die, but the work will live on. ”

"The craftsman will die, but the work will live on!"

The entire Rotunda is available in different languages, from German, English and French to Italian, Spanish, Russian and even Dutch, Czech, Swedish, Greek and Polish......

This time, Qin Beiyang's Chinese dialect was added.

"The wounds of the world war are gradually healing, and the activities of craftsmen are flourishing in Europe, in North America, and even in Japan and China. We built skyscrapers in Manhattan, aircraft carriers in England, flying machines in Italy, and tanks and armor in France. The long and brutal Russian civil war is over, people are emerging from hunger, and the League of Nations will usher in a prosperous era of lasting peace. The mission that the first generation of Great Venerable Qin Jin arranged for us is nearing completion. ”

Schmidt's German speech was translated into various languages to ensure that everyone in attendance could understand it.

Qin Beiyang was thinking to himself, what was the mission of his Qin ancestor, the first generation of Great Venerables?

"Exterminate the Assassin Alliance, restore peace to the world!"

Schmidt raised his arms and shouted, and the craftsmen below echoed it, and various languages drifted through Tokyo's underground......

In the Longtan Tiger's Den of the World Congress of the Craftsman Alliance, Qin Beiyang sounded extremely harsh - the leader of the Assassin Alliance, the heir of Assasin, and the master of the Assassins of Taibai Mountain, who they had sworn to exterminate, was himself.

Suddenly, the archdeacon with the compass in his hand said in the English London pronunciation: "According to reliable sources, after the internal strife of the world war, the vitality of the Assassin League has been greatly damaged, especially in the countries of Europe. Four years ago, during the Paris Peace Conference, the League of Assassins convened a World Congress to elect Assasin's successor, our sworn enemy. However, their attempt to assassinate the triumvirate of Versailles failed, and the old Assasin of Arabia was killed. ”

"Today, the center of gravity of the Assassin League has shifted to China, and Assasin's heir is also the Grand Leader of the Chinese Assassins." The archdeacon with a ruler in his hand said, but it was English with an American accent, "In the last century, Chinese Assassins imitated Assasin's Heavenly Garden, established the 'Heavenly Academy' on the top of the high mountain, trained a group of young assassins, and frantically excavated tomb beasts in the land of China. ”

"Taking advantage of the continuous internal strife and fratricidal fighting among the Assassin Alliance, which has not yet formed a core, and its so-called 'leader' is only in name, we immediately unite with the warlord forces that rule China to carry out a devastating blow against the Assassin Alliance."

It was the deacon of the Craftsmen's Union who spoke, holding a brick-like hardcover book, but speaking French.

Qin Beiyang was terrified when he heard this, why did he invite him to attend such an important meeting to discuss the life and death of the Craftsman Alliance and the Assassin Alliance? Isn't that a serious leak? He pressed his hand on the back of the nine colors, ready to transform into battle.

The gatekeeper Schmidt leaned over beside the Great Venerable, and the two whispered a few words, and Schmidt said aloud: "Next, start to show the skills of the annual master craftsmen!" ”

Just like in Manhattan four years ago, master craftsmen from all over the world appeared on the stage with a thousand strange tricks, some were still in the Middle Ages, some had entered the steam engine era of the Industrial Revolution, and some were already the electrical civilization of the twentieth century.

Although Qin Beiyang sat in the last row and watched wonderfully, he was apprehensive in his heart, first, for his special identity, and secondly, when did the earthquake come? Or is there no earthquake at all? Or some other terrible disaster?

The last craftsman to appear was Hans Bohl, a German who demonstrated the killing machine "Prussian Rosace Cross Sewing Machine" four years earlier. He was still the youngest member of the Craftsman Alliance other than Qin Beiyang, and this time the machine he showed was a gas chamber. Trapped in the small space of the Great Temple of the Far East, he could only explain the principle of this gas chamber on the drawings.

"Ladies and gentlemen! There are too many people on the planet today, and we simply don't produce enough food to feed so many people. For example, Japan, a narrow island country, is bound to continue to expand into the Asian continent and invade China to gain living space. This is true of Japan, Britain, France, and Germany, and a world war will break out sooner or later! Now in Bavaria, the National Socialist German Workers' Party is gaining popular support, and its leader is an Austrian-born genius who must be supported by the Craftsmen League if they want to eliminate the Assassin League, if they want to grow and realize the ambitions of the first Great Venerable. ”

Hans Bohl's remarks caused a stir below, and the German got down to business: "I just talked about the crisis of living space and the crisis of population. In order to avoid a world war, for the sake of a hard-won peace, it is necessary to exterminate the surplus population - the mentally ill, the elderly, the disabled, the anarchists, the artists, the tuberculosis ghosts, the addicts, and the Jews! But violence is too costly and will provoke a strong revolt from them. Therefore, I invented this gas chamber to silently take their lives in the most civilized and elegant way. And it is extremely efficient, it can eliminate thousands of people at a time, and tens of thousands of people every month. If this set of gas chambers is extended to the whole world and 10,000 are prepared, many scum on the earth can be eliminated, which is a great act of kindness to purify mankind and promote the progress of civilization! ”

Qin Beiyang could understand every word of his German, but he only felt super disgusting, and he almost vomited all the rice balls in his stomach.

At this time, Schmidt whispered a few words to the Great Venerable, and Hans Bohl was prevented from demonstrating the gas chambers.

This is the end of the demonstration of the skills of the master craftsmen, and then everyone can start to speak freely and exchange ideas with each other, which is an annual event of craftsmen who talk freely with each other like brothers.

The gatekeeper Schmidt walked through the crowd and came to Qin Beiyang in the last row, and whispered, "The Great Venerable wants to see you!" ”

Qin Beiyang touched Jiu Se's head and said, "Can I take it with me?" ”

Schmidt, the gatekeeper of the Artisan Alliance, nodded slightly.

Two men and one beast, walking along the edge of the Great Temple of the Far East, entered a granite-decorated living room, where three white-robed deacons were waiting for him.

"This is Compass Deacon Johnson."

"This is Deacon Sheringham."

"This is the canonical deacon Macron."

Schmidt introduced the three major deacons to Qin Beiyang one by one, and they were the second person in the Craftsman Alliance, the central nerve of the daily operation of the Collective Management Alliance, equivalent to the British cabinet and the Qing Dynasty's military aircraft department.

However, the three powerful deacons were quite wary of Qin Beiyang, some expressed contempt for his youth, some discriminated against his Chinese face, and some hated the identity of his Asasin heir, "Chinese Qin Beiyang".

Before meeting with the Great Venerable, they asked Qin Beiyang to hand over the weapons on them. Tang knives and crossbows were confiscated. He was forced to undergo body searches, including an anal examination like a prison check, and searched every corner of his body to prevent assassination tools such as daggers, poisons, and miniature pistols.

Compass Deacon Johnson saw the "one-eyed pyramid" mark on the crossbow: "How did you have this?" ”

"Alexander Andreyev, have you heard of this name?"

Macron said: "I remember this Russian! The world's top master of animal trapping tools. More than a decade ago, he had copied the Tomb Beast for the Artisan Alliance, but it was unfortunately destroyed by the Assassin League. How is he now? ”

"He died, and gave me this crossbow."

"What a pity!" Deacon Xie Linhan took off the burqa on his head, revealing an Englishman's face, "Qin, please leave this big dog behind." ”
