Chapter 9: Traces Left Behind
Su Bai looked at the handwriting under the oil painting, and slowly read out the name that everyone was extremely familiar with: "Leonardo di Piero da Vinci." ”
"Leonardo da Vinci? Is this a painting by Leonardo da Vinci? Alex's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
"That's right, it's a Leonardo da Vinci painting." William nodded.
"Oh my God." Alex was shocked and said, "If someone in the art world sees it, it's going to be crazy." A brand new painting by Leonardo da Vinci. ”
Su Bai didn't speak, quietly staring at the painting in front of him that he was extremely familiar with.
Muna's gaze softened, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
At this time, Alex reacted: "Wait, this painting is for a man named Su ...... Tetsu and his wife? Who is that person? ”
"We looked through a lot of literature within the fraternity and found a record of this man." William looked at Su Bai and said, "This man named Su Zhe is from the East, and he is the mentor of the great Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore. There are few references to him within the Brotherhood, but he had a special significance for the Assassin Brotherhood. It was under his tutelage that Master Ezio Auditore da Firenze embarked on the path of the legendary Assassins. ”
"Assassins from the East?" Alex subconsciously looked at Su Bai, "This person and name are similar to Su, and the body shape seems to be similar." It's a pity that most of the face is covered, and I can't see what it looks like. But the exposed chin is also very similar to Sue......"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Bai.
Su Bai said calmly: "In my family genealogy, there is indeed an ancestor named Su Zhe. It's just that he went to Italy or not, I don't know. ”
"Wouldn't it? Such a coincidence? Alex yelled.
William's eyes showed that he was really like this, and said, "We also think that the assassin named Su Zhe is very likely to be the ancestor of Mr. Su Bai. Now it seems that it was. Mr. Su Bai also has the blood of an assassin in his body. ”
With a solemn and sincere look on his face, he said to Su Bai, "Mr. Su Bai, I solemnly invite you to join us and join the Assassin Brotherhood. ”
Hearing this, Su Bai immediately refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. In fact, I've decided to leave here and go back to China. If nothing else, I will never set foot in this land again in my life. ”
William was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"You should join us!" Gavin behind him couldn't help but say, "It's useless to escape. You have assassin blood in you, and the Templars won't let you go! Your ancestors were one of us, fighting the Templars for the free will of humanity. You deserve to inherit his business! ”
"I'm sorry, my ancestors are my ancestors, I am me." Su Bai said lightly, "He didn't even know that he was a person hundreds of years ago, and now you come to let me inherit his career, I'm afraid it's a little ridiculous." ”
"You ......"
"Alright, Gavin." William interrupted him, glanced at Su Bai with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, "Mr. Su Bai is right, Your Excellency Su Zhe was hundreds of years ago, and now we have no reason to ask him to join our war. Moreover, even Maestro Ezio Auditore da Firenze made that choice......"
He didn't continue, but sighed, put away the oil painting, and handed it to Su Bai: "This is what Leonardo da Vinci painted for your ancestors, and now I will return it to you and return it to its original owner." ”
"William!" Gavin couldn't help but shout.
Su Bai was also stunned, he didn't expect him to do this.
You must know that there are only 24 paintings of Leonardo da Vinci in existence, and two of them are frescoes.
In the art world, Leonardo da Vinci's paintings have always been regarded as priceless treasures, which are treasures of top museums such as the Louvre and the Hermitage, or are treasured by those big collectors.
However, now William gave him such a priceless oil painting, which made Su Bai have to admire him.
"This painting is the property of the Brotherhood, and you can't just give it to an outsider." Gavin exclaimed.
"No, it's not a Brotherhood thing." William shook his head, "The letter left by Master Ezio Auditore Auditore has made it very clear that he is only keeping it on his behalf. He asked us to give the painting to its true owner, His Excellency Su Zhe or his descendants. Now I'm just fulfilling his last words. ”
After saying that, he took out another thing from his body and handed it to Su Bai: "This is what was put together with this painting in the Assassin's Sanctuary, and it is a letter from Master Ezio Auditore to his mentor. Now I'll give it to you. ”
"Thank you." Su Bai took the letter, but didn't take the painting, "You should keep this painting, I don't need it anymore." ”
He paused and smiled, "This painting was engraved in the heart of its owner when it was finished. Now all that's left is an empty shell. ”
William's face was inexplicable.
Su Bai changed the subject: "By the way, the assassin named Su Zhe, where did he go in the end, is there a record in your literature?" ”
Hearing this, William shook his head, "According to the only records within the Brotherhood, after Master Ezio Auditore Auditore joined the Brotherhood, the Lord was nowhere to be found. Master Ezio Auditore Auditore has been trying to find him, and even after reviving the Brotherhood, he traveled to the East. It's a pity that it still hasn't gotten what it wanted. ”
"Really?" Su Bai was thoughtful.
At this time, William's expression was straight, and he said, "Although there are only a few words about that Excellency, he still plays a vital role in the Brotherhood. It was his thoughts that guided Master Ezio Auditore da Firenze's direction and elevated the spirit and creed of the Assassins. ”
He paused, a hint of indescribable color on his face: "Even, guided by his thoughts, Master Ezio Auditore da Firen has come to a rare agreement with another Master Templar. Together, they stopped other Templar attempts to dominate the world, successfully protecting the Apple of Eden from being harnessed by evil. ”
Hearing this, Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and the scene he had seen in that catacombs immediately appeared in his mind.
William continued, "Master Ezio Auditore Auditore warned all Assassins that while freedom is the indelible will of mankind, order is also an essential part of civilization. Only a balance between freedom and order can bring prosperity to civilization. ”
