Chapter 67: The Catacombs
On the banks of the Arno River, Laborpe said to Ezio: "There are rumors outside that a convoy has just arrived from Rome and that a secret meeting will be held tonight. You can find out about Francisco's whereabouts at this meeting. ”
"Tonight?" Ezio immediately asked, "Do you know where the meeting took place?" ”
"Yes." Labore nodded, "I can take you." If you're ready, we can go now. ”
Ezio looked at Su Bai.
"Let's go right away." Su Bai said.
Ezio looked at Labore and said, "We're ready, please take us there." ”
"No problem, follow me." "But let's move fast, can you keep up with me?" ”
"No problem." Ezio said confidently.
"Good." The corners of Raborpe's mouth curled, and he turned and crawled towards the roof behind him.
His movements were so nimble that he quickly climbed to the roof of the house and turned to look at the three people below: "I'm not going to stop and wait for you. ”
"We don't need to."
Su Bai replied with a smile, and then turned to look at the girl beside him: "Muna, let's go." ”
After saying that, he rushed towards the house and climbed up quickly. Muna followed him like a shadow.
"Ignore me again."
Ezio muttered, and rushed towards the house.
The three of them quickly climbed onto the roof.
Labore looked at them: "The three of them really live up to their reputations, so let's go." ”
The four of them stepped on the roof of the house and sped through the city.
Moments later, La Borpe stopped outside the church.
He glanced at Su Bai and the others, whose faces did not change, and then looked at Ezio, who was gasping slightly, and said, "We have arrived." ”
"That's it...... Is this it? Ezio relented and looked inside the church, "In the church?" ”
"That's right." Labolpe raised his hand and pointed, "Francisco Depache is here to meet with his accomplices." ”
"How are we going to get in?" Ezio asked.
"There are large tombs underneath the city, and you can follow them to places where you can overhear the meeting," said Raborpe. ”
He raised his hand and pointed to a courtyard behind the church: "See that stone handle?" Spin it, slide it down, and you will reach your destination. ”
"I see." Ezio nodded, and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you for your great support, Raborpe." ”
Labolpe smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and glanced at Su Bai: "I can only help you so much, good luck to you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"What are we going to do now?" Ezio turned his head to look at Su Bai, "Do you want to do what he says?" ”
"You don't believe him?" Su Bai asked rhetorically.
"We don't know if he's friend or foe." "It's all going too well. ”
"Do you think it's a trap?" Su Bai asked again.
Ezio hesitated for a moment, his face resolute, "Let's go inside." ”
After saying that, he jumped into the courtyard.
The three of them came to the wall where the stone handle was, and Ezio looked around, reaching out and grabbing the stone handle to turn it.
With a click, the small round platform in front of the wall began to deform, revealing a circular entrance like a well.
Ezio leaned over and looked down, saying, "It doesn't seem very deep down there." He pulled a throwing knife from his body and threw it down, and soon heard a crisp sound.
"Let's jump." Su Bai patted him on the shoulder.
Immediately, the three of them jumped down in turn.
The ground was littered with the bones of Mori Bai, and in front of it was a wide square passage.
The three of them walked forward and descended a stone staircase. Ezio used the mechanism on the wall to open the iron gate high in front of him, and climbed up.
After passing through a hall, they came to a collapsed stairwell.
Continuing up the remaining staircase and the bars that lay in mid-air, Ezio found the second mechanism and opened an iron gate again.
Continue to the third platform, open the mechanism, and the bottom stone door will be opened.
"We've got to find a way to get down." Ezio looked down and said.
"Use this." Su Bai took out a bundle of rope.
Ezio was stunned: "When did you prepare?" ”
"Before you come here." Su Bai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "When it comes to exploring ancient tombs, I'm much more professional than you. There's still a lot to learn, boy. ”
They descended to the bottom through the rope and walked through the stone gate along the passage.
Inside is a large hall where four guards stand guard in front of a grand gate carved with golden reliefs.
"What about these guards?" Ezio looked at Su Bai, "There must be more than the four of them in it, if you break in, you will definitely be discovered." ”
"Just don't let the guards run in." Su Bai looked at Mu Na, "Mu Na, you go in first." Seal the gate and don't let any guards run in. ”
The girl nodded, and slipped silently into the hall.
Su Bai took off the bow and arrow behind his back, and aimed his bow at one of the guards.
Shout!
One of the guards collapsed.
The other guards were immediately alert, drew their swords from their waists, and looked in the direction of the passage.
"Enemy attack! In the passage! ”
Shout!
Another arrow whistled and shot another guard.
The remaining two guards hurriedly dodged in both directions.
Muna silently approached one of them, her Hidden Blade grazing his throat.
Su Bai put down his bow and arrow and walked into the hall.
A guard slashed from the side with a sword.
Clang!
The Hidden Blade popped out to block the guard's attack, and he held the bow in his left hand and put it on the guard's head, then tugged hard.
The guard snorted, and the sword in his hand instantly fell out of his hand, and his hands grabbed the bowstring that tightened his neck and tried to tear it open.
Poof!
The Hidden Blade stabbed into his waist.
The guard slumped.
Su Bai put down the corpse, took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, raised the bow and aimed it at the top.
Shout!
Arrows are fired, killing the guards on the platform above as they prepare to close the gate.
"Now that's it, let's go." He hunched back on his back and said as he looked at Ezio as he walked by.
"That's ......," Ezio's mouth was wide open, unable to speak.
The three of them continued to walk inside.
After activating a mechanism again, they came to a dark room.
The sound of talking came from not far away.
Ezio walked to a small window where the light of fire was shining through, and looked down, only to see six people sitting around a square table full of weapons in a small secret room, talking.
Ezio listened carefully for a moment, his eyes widening suddenly.
Su Bai stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.
After a while, Ezio turned around and looked at Su Bai in a shocked tone, "The Templars are planning a big conspiracy!" ”
