"Probably for the same reason as you, Ezio." A short-haired man in a black robe walked up from the back of the crowd, with his hands behind his back, and looked at Ezio and said meaningfully, "I hope to see the Prophet appear." ”

"I'm here to kill the Spaniards." Before Ezio could figure out the situation, he said, "It's none of my business to know the Prophet or anything, he didn't show up anyway!" ”

"That's true." The man looked at Ezio with a different kind of meaning in his eyes, and smiled, "But you appeared." ”

"What?" Ezio's face was full of consternation.

The prophecy says that there will be a prophet...... But we didn't know you would be here. "Maybe you're the one we've been looking for." ”

"What?" Ezio walked up to the man, "Who are you?" ”

"Niccolò Di Bernardo de Machiavelli." The man put his hand to his chest, "I am an assassin, trained in the ancient ways to protect the development of humanity. ”

He turned slightly and stretched out his arm: "I, including the others here, are the same as you. ”

"You're all Assassins?" Ezio's eyes widened, and he looked at the familiar people in front of him in disbelief, and slowly stepped back, "Paula? Borpe? ”

"It's true, nephew." Mario stepped forward, "We've been guiding you for so many years, giving you the skills you need to join our ranks. It's time now......"

Another man stepped forward and handed Ezio a map: "We have a bit of a 'value to exist', but there's so much to do. Take this and come back here to see us after sunset. ”

Everyone looked at Ezio with expectant eyes, and then turned away one by one.

Ezio turned his head to look at Su Bai: "Did you already know?" ”

Su Bai spread his hands: "There are things that are not a good thing to tell you before you are ready." ”

Today's Ezio is no longer the stunned young man he was ten years ago, so when he heard Su Bai's words, he nodded slowly.

Su Bai said again: "The Brotherhood has always been very strict in the assessment of new members, and you are a special case among them. They have high expectations of you, Ezio. And I trust you to take up that responsibility – to revitalize the Brotherhood and lead it in the direction it should be. ”

"Reinvigorate, lead......" Ezio muttered, whispering, "I never thought of that. ”

Su Bai walked up to him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I believe you will be an excellent leader." ”

"But you're better suited than I am...... Ezio said.

Su Bai shook his head: "I'm a Chinese, Ezio. Sooner or later, I will leave here and return to my country. I don't belong to this land, and many things are destined to be done only by you. ”

"You're leaving?" Ezio was stunned.

Su Bai laughed: "Don't worry, it's not now." ”

"I need your guidance." Ezio said solemnly, "Without you, I don't know where I'm going, my mentor. ”

"It's just that you think you need my guidance." Su Bai smiled slightly, looking into Ezio's eyes, "You have long been able to face all difficulties and dangers alone, and I can't and won't stay by your side all the time, that will only constrain your will." ”

"No!"

"Ezio!" Su Bai interrupted him, and Zhengse said, "Remember what I once said. The Assassins believed only in the flying eagle flying freely in the sky and the sword in their hands, and freedom was the immortal will of the Assassins and the immortal will of all human beings. If someone tries to control the minds of the people and destroy free will, then he is an enemy of the assassins. ”

"But." After a pause, Su Bai changed his words and said, "Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, and disorder and unlimited freedom will become a terrible disaster. Although the Templars are our enemies, remember that order is also an integral part of human civilization. Only the coexistence of freedom and order can bring prosperity. ”

"Mentor, I don't understand......" Ezio looked at him with a hint of confusion.

"It's okay if you don't understand it now." Su Bai said, "Continue to follow your ideas, fight for the freedom of the people, and one day you will understand." I only hope that until then, you will always remember not to let the flame of freedom burn blindly. Don't lead the Brotherhood down the wrong path of destruction. ”

……

At night, on top of the tower.

The Assassins of the Italian Brotherhood gathered.

A bunch of flames were ignited.

Mario holds a piece of soldering iron between tongs and heats it up in the flame.

Then he turned around, looked at Ezio, and said with a solemn expression: "'All things are false, all things are allowed', these are the languages of our ancestors, and they are things that are hidden deep in the depths of our beliefs. ”

Niccolò folded his hands in front of him and walked slowly towards Ezio, chanting: "Remember the ...... while others are blindly pursuing the so-called truth."

Ezio looked at him and replied word by word, "Nothing is true." ”

Niccolò continued: "Remember when others are bound by morality or law......"

“Everything is permitted。”

Niccolò said, "We plough the darkness and serve the light." We are assassins. ”

The surrounding people chanted in unison: "All things are false, all things are allowed!" ”

When this sentence sounded, Su Bai only felt that his scalp was numb, and an inexplicable emotion arose. Solemn, solemn and sacred. The feeling of witnessing history and witnessing legends emerges in the bottom of my heart.

"It's time, Ezio......" Mario walked up to Ezio.

"Now, we may not be as formalized as our ancestors, but our determination is no less than that."

He paused, looked into Ezio's eyes, and said word by word, "Are you ready to join us?" ”

"I'm ready." Ezio replied with a calm expression.

Another Assassin walked up to Ezio with his pincers in hand: "It will only hurt for a while, brother. Just like a lot of other little things. ”

Ezio held out his left hand.

The red-flushed soldering iron pressed against his ring finger and gave him an instant snort.

Su Bai's fingers trembled when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at his ring finger. On it, too, is imprinted with a quaint symbol.

The soldering iron moved away, revealing an Assassin's mark on Ezio's ring finger.

"Welcome aboard, Ezio." Niccolò's tone was filled with relief and joy, "You're one of us now. Come! We have a lot of work to do! ”

The others smiled and greeted Ezio, and one by one they walked to the tower and leaped down.

Ezio's eyes widened in shock, as he watched the other Assassins act like they were committing suicide.

The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched.

Here it comes, the legendary leap of faith. Should I jump or not later? If I climb down, will others think I'm a fake assassin?

But I don't know how to take a leap of faith! Who's going to explain to me that these assassins are not jumping from a tower dozens of meters high, and what is the principle behind this?

At this time, Ezio looked over, and Su Bai hurriedly showed a calm expression.

The last Assassin jumped, leaving only Subai, Ezio, and Mario on the tower.

Ezio looked at Su Bai and hesitated, "This is ...... What rituals? There are mats underneath to pick them up? ”

"No, there isn't." Su Bai shook his head and explained, "This is called a leap of faith. In the veins of each Assassin was a strange power, derived from our ancestors. This power allowed the Assassins to be sheltered by the eagle and leap from a great height without any damage. ”

"Really?" Ezio's eyes widened.

"Really." Su Bai nodded, "Don't you see that the others just jumped down?" ”

As soon as he spoke, an inexplicable feeling suddenly came to his heart.

This is...... A sign of leaving here?

Su Bai took a deep breath, his gaze slightly complicated.

He looked at Ezio with a smile on his face, "Now I'll give you one last lesson." ”

Then he walked to the side of the tower.

Muna followed and stood beside him.

Su Bai looked back at Ezio and said, "Remember everything I said, don't forget." ”

"You ......"

Ezio was about to speak, but Su Bai jumped from the edge of the tower. Muna followed suit.

He hurried over and looked down, only to hear an eagle chirp piercing the night sky.

The whirring wind rings in my ears.

Su Bai's gaze was firmly fixed below, and his heart was nervous.

System, don't play with me.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange power enveloping his body. The body suddenly lightened, as if a pair of wings had grown from behind him.

Before he could delve into it, the sound of the system sounded in his ears.

The vast white light filled the heavens and the earth, and the whole city began to collapse in the white light.

The last thing that appeared in Su Bai's sight was a figure jumping down from the tower.

"Start teleporting."
