Chapter 56: Choice
"It's amazing! When did you get out of town? Claudia exclaimed.
"I guess that's not the point." Su Bai shrugged his shoulders, looked at Ezio, and pointed to the carriage on the side of the road behind him, "That should be the carriage that Paula prepared for us." You go and ask. ”
"Okay."
Ezio stepped forward, and after a few words with the coachman, he turned and shouted, "That's right, it's the carriage." Come on. ”
Claudia held her mother and walked that way.
Getting into the carriage, the coachman flicked his whip and the carriage headed for Monterigioni.
In the carriage, Claudia put her hands on her cheeks and said with sorrow: "Why did we encounter such an unfortunate thing. ”
"I don't know." Ezio, who was looking in the direction of Florence in a daze, replied.
"Can we go back to our old lives?" Claudia asked again.
"I don't know."
After a moment of silence, Claudia asked, "What will happen to our home?" ”
"I don't know!" Ezio's voice raised.
"If we're going to die...... Will they give us a decent funeral? ”
Ezio turned his head, looked at Claudia, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, they will ......"
Hearing this answer, Claudia's face became even more sorrowful: "But I don't want to die yet." ”
Su Bai almost laughed out loud.
At this time, Ezio looked at Su Bai and said in a complicated tone: "Christina, she ...... Refused. ”
"What?" Claudia asked, confused.
Ezio didn't answer her, and his face was sad.
Su Bai sighed and said, "It's not surprising, Ezio. She has her own family, her home in Florence, and that's hard for anyone to part with. And ......"
He paused slightly, and said meaningfully, "This may be the best decision for her." It's not necessarily a good thing to follow you away. ”
"You're right." The gloom on Ezio's face became even darker, and he nodded heavily, and then said with some confusion, "Now that even I don't know what the future holds, how can I take Christina with me?" ”
Su Bai looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Ezio, I've heard a sentence before, and I think you might be able to use it one day." ”
"What?"
Su Bai looked into his eyes and said slowly, "If I have a sharp sword in my hand, I can't hug you." If I don't have a sword in my hand, I can't protect you. ”
Ezio was stunned for a moment, and there was a look in his eyes that seemed to understand whether he understood or not.
He could faintly hear the deep meaning of this sentence, and his heart was touched. But he felt a light veil shrouded him, making him unable to truly understand the helplessness and sadness.
Looking at his thoughtful appearance, Su Bai sighed and didn't say anything more.
In fact, there is a second half of this passage that he accidentally saw on the Internet.
"So,
I choose to hold a sword in my hand,
Let you be happy in the arms of others. ”
The second half is the choice that Ezio ultimately makes.
Let go.
Unfortunately, Cristina did not get happiness in the end, but was seriously injured in the riot and died in the arms of Ezio, who could not be rescued.
After all, the two did not have a second chance.
When he first did the side quest to piece together this memory of Ezio, Su Bai's heart only felt panicked. That was the first time he was saddened by the tragedy of love between two game characters.
It's a pity that he can only watch it happen.
However, it is comforting that at least Ezio did not live alone, but had his own wife, and even a son and a daughter. In his later years, he also died with a smile under the gaze of his wife and children, and died rightly, rather than dying in an assassination mission.
At this time, Su Bai suddenly thought of himself again.
After training in the mission world again and again, if one day he dies in a mission, what will happen to the two girls he loves?
Laura, Muna, whoever he is, is the one he can't let go of. And he is the same for them.
If he dies one day in Mission World, they won't even be able to find their bones. How would the two girls feel at that time?
Or, what if one day, too, faced with a problem like Ezio's?
Let go?
Su Bai thought he couldn't do it.
He won't be able to let go in his life.
This question made his heart a little heavy, and the right hand holding Muna's soft little hand clenched even more unconsciously.
The girl glanced at him with some confusion, as if she felt the heaviness of his heart, and gently reached out to smooth out his brow, which he had not known to wrinkle.
Immediately, she leaned on Su Bai's shoulder.
Su Bai reached out and hugged the girl's waist, hugged her tightly, and did not speak again.
No matter what problems he encounters, he will definitely solve them. In any case, he would not let the two girls leave him.
In the evening, Ezio looked outside and said, "We should be almost there." ”
"Thank God." Claudia breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage is galloping, and a castle is already in sight.
At this moment, a row of figures suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped as the horse pulling the cart neighed.
"What's going on?" Ezio asked.
"Mr. Ezio, there's someone blocking the road ahead." The coachman replied with some trepidation.
"What?" Ezio poked his head out of the window and looked ahead, his face changing suddenly.
I saw a row of guards in red uniforms standing on the road ahead. The young man in the middle was his acquaintance.
"Ezio, who is it?" Claudia asked.
"It's Vieri!" Back in the carriage, Ezio's face was gloomy.
"Enemies?" Su Bai raised his eyebrows and said knowingly.
"Mortal enemy!" Ezio gritted his teeth.
"It seems that the person who came was not good." Su Bai pushed the car door, "Let's go, kid, send them away first." ”
Mu Na wanted to go out with her, but Su Bai stopped her: "Mu Na, you stay here and protect Ezio's relatives." ”
The girl looked at him, nodded slightly, and sat back in the carriage.
Ezio glanced at Su Bai gratefully and followed him out of the car.
"Hello, Ezio!" The young man in front of him had a smug smile on his face, "Why didn't you leave Florence and not say hello to me?" ”
"What the hell do you want, Vieri?" Ezio said coldly.
"I want so much." Vieri said, spreading his hands.
He raised his left hand and counted one finger at a time: "A bigger mansion, two new horses, a more beautiful bride......"
Speaking of this, he drew the long sword at his waist: "Oh, there is ...... Your little life. ”
