Perhaps it was because of the strange things that happened in the Execution Grounds two years ago, that the Templars thought that the Assassins had also begun to use the "Artifacts of Eden" that they did not recognize, or perhaps because the activities of the Auditore family had been too frequent in the past two years, and the Templars believed that the Assassins had changed their style from previous years and began to develop their power in a big way, or of course, it was also possible that the leader of the Templar Order, Rodrigo Borgia, simply wanted to rise to power in order to gain more power...... Anyway, the result was to convene the power of the organization to make him go from "cardinal" to "pope".

The former Pope, who had been standing in front of Rodrigo, always had a way to immortalize him, and as for those members of the Church who disobeyed his ascension, cough, do you want to be purged by the bloody methods of the Templar Order? Or do you want to be brainwashed by the Edenic artifact [Scepter] in his hand?

As a result, a "Alexander VI" who made a lot of money, transported truckloads of women to the Vatican, had a 'close' relationship with illegitimate daughters, and eliminated opponents by assassination.

- To be honest, the above information has nothing to do with Leeds, no matter how you look at it, Rodrigo is just a ruler who is obsessed with power and money, at most his life is a little corrupt, his methods are not moral, and he has no ****** thoughts. Looking back at the Assassin Order? Life is rotten, hey, Ezio is still a playboy who can't control the lower half of his body, okay! As for the immorality of the means, well, one of the Assassins was also the leader of the Thieves' Guild, in other words, his subordinates did their daily work to "steal other people's legitimate property", was that very moral, and was it called sacrifice for the freedom of mankind?

Of course, after ignoring elements such as beliefs and dogmas, a guy who "wantonly amassed money, transported truckloads of girls to the Vatican, had an 'intimate' relationship with illegitimate daughters, and assassinated opponents" is also considered the scum of mankind, and it is not too much to regard him as a "red monster".

"Is this the Vatican? The building is much grandiose and magnificent...... "Leeds came to the Vatican by boat to kill this guy in the form of parkour."

"Here. That damn pulsatilla over there! ”

"Your sister, look for death!" Just like an author who just writes a book quietly, never deliberately offends anyone even if the quality of the article is unsatisfactory, and ends up being insulted by readers who watch the pirated edition, Leeds is very innocent when he comes to report for the first time...... Since you're so innocent, it's okay to hang up and beat someone who mocks her hair like Dongfang Zhansuke, right?

“…… Not? "Still. It seems that you can't hang each other.

The reason is that this is the girl, the foul-mouthed thief girl that Ezio brought from Venice.

Well, Liz could only reluctantly follow the girl who was obviously leading the way and trotted all the way to a remote and gloomy hut.

"Sure enough...... since Ezio's future wives have appeared, and it's nothing surprising to see all the adult men of the Auditore family in the house, "Didn't you say you wanted to get a turtle up?" Why are they all here again? ”

"Hmph, this kind of thing is usually done by us assassins, where can you interfere with a person from another world who doesn't know where to come from...... Also, didn't you leave before me! The action is too slow! "Even though my body is aging, I can no longer play the way of youth. Mario, however, was the most ambitious of the Auditore family.

Frederick was about to explain: "We weren't going to sit idly by in the first place...... After all, the Golden Apple is in our possession, and the Knights Templar will continue to harass us, but it will take some time to slowly weaken the Templars' power. ”

"By 'a period of time', how long does it mean ......?" Liz laughed.

"Ahem, you know......" Frederick shrugged, tired from chatting with smart people.

In fact, according to their intentions, they still have to coax for a few years, while instigating and pulling out Rodrigo's minions, and showing their deeds with minions that can be replaced by someone else at any time.

"I knew that...... So why come along? I don't believe in 'I'm worried you're in danger'~~" Liz said.

"What you say is too hurtful~" Although it is a big truth, on the one hand, Lez is training parkour every day. They weren't the same group of Assassins, and the relationship between the two sides wasn't so good that Leeds would have to risk his own life if he died. On the other hand, Leeds has power armor, Gauss rifles, electric lightsabers, stealth suits, and people in god suits don't need to worry about them.

Ezio sighed and told the truth: "Because we have received information, Rodrigo is plotting to capture another golden apple......"

"Another golden apple? How many ...... is this thing? "Such a magical thing is not the only item in this world, it seems that I still underestimated the technical level of the [ancient civilization] of this world.

"Who knows...... Because I don't know how many golden apples there are in this world. So after sending someone over there to stop it, we decided to stop Rodrigo at the root. ”

It is not so much about killing Rodrigo as it is about seizing the Scepter, just as the same governor of the pit people was poisoned, and another governor of the pit people was propped up. The next Templar leader was not necessarily better with than Rodrigo.

"You're such a self-inflicted organization......"

"I'll take that as a compliment to us," Giovanni wasn't half annoyed, "then...... Leeds, would you be interested in working with us one more time after the rescue operation two years ago? ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Knights Templar may seem very religious in their name, but originally it was only an "underground military organization", and it was only a matter of nearly a hundred years that it had been mixed with the Holy See in the true sense of the word. With Rodrigo becoming the "Pope", its power developed at an astonishing rate, and the center of the Holy See, the Vatican, became the main stronghold of the Templar Order in an instant......

Yes, it is not possible to say that each of the five guards patrolling the walls must be members of the Templar Order, but their captain is definitely one of them, as there is a red cross on his left hand of armor.

A small rock slammed into the captain's helmet.

"Huh?" There are a few good-tempered guards who can be guards, and when they turn their heads, they are staring around with murderous anger.

And then

"Hahaha, I'm "Parkour King" Leeds is going to conquer the Vatican today!" A white-haired man dressed as an aristocrat was seen standing on the stone railing of the city wall.

“…… Catch him for me! (To be continued.) )

PS: I always feel that Assassin's Creed is not written in a meaningful way...... I can't find what I felt before...... Is there too little place to complain?
