Chapter 40: The First Arrival
When Xu Lang heard Ezio say that there were a lot of questions to ask, his heart was actually very entangled, although he could roughly guess some questions, but it was obviously too difficult to answer the slightest flaw, which was really a very headache. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
By the time a few people came to Monteriggioni, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and this part of the journey was much smoother than Xu Lang imagined, originally thinking that there would be some obstacles set up by Borgia soldiers to slow down their pace, but obviously thinking a little too much.
"Anyway, that goddess-like vision tells me that there was a great cataclysm a long time ago, and that it will be repeated again in the future." Ezio briefly explained a little thing he saw, and Xu Lang didn't feel much about it, after all, he knew all these things.
"Anyway, that's a long time later, now is not the time you should be worried, hurry back and rest and tell us your story well."
Before Ezio could say something more, a shell suddenly exploded in a nearby clearing, and Ezio was taken aback and immediately drew his sword: "Our homeland seems to be in danger!" ”
"No, no, no! It doesn't seem to be under attack, I think it's your artillery practicing firing. Xu Lang never heard the shouts of battle, and knew that this was not an attack, but just practicing the use of artillery, besides, he still couldn't forget this part of the plot.
"That's right." Mario also motioned for Ezio to calm down, "We recently renovated the city's munitions stockpile, and there will be artillery training every day, which is normal. ”
"But that shell was firing at us!"
Xu Lang shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Mario, it seems that your subordinates really need to exercise their eyes again and not fire at their superiors." ”
"That's right, we'll be mindful when we get back, little ghost."
The four of them slowly rode into the city, and the inhabitants of the city greeted Ezio: "Ezio! "Our hero is back!" ……
Ezio also waved to the residents, but there were still a few people talking about Xu Lang and Gui Yanye, most of them were saying that Xu Lang and Gui Yanye were dressed strangely or something, anyway, Xu Lang and Gui Yanye felt a little uncomfortable listening to it, but after all, it was not good to say anything under the fence.
"Two friends, this is our residence, you can rest here tonight." Ezio pointed to a luxurious villa in front of him, and Xu Lang felt very sorry when he saw it, because if it was not expected, this villa would be completely destroyed tomorrow, a pity, a pity.
Ezio took Xu Lang and Gui Yanye into the hall of the villa, and at this time a noble woman walked out of the house, and Ezio was also very happy to see her: "Oh! Katerina! ”
"Good evening! Ezio, it looks like you've made a triumphant return. Katerina's gaze was as sharp as ever, "You don't have to hide your excitement so much. ”
"I'm always so happy to serve you, aren't I?" Ezio only knew that he was blunt when he said this, and thought to himself, "Damn, how can people stumble like lads when they are more than forty years old." "yes, but that's not the same time anymore." Katerina's tone seemed to exude a firmness. "What's going on?" "The situation is not very promising," Caterina continued, "Seriously, in fact, the purpose of my visit this time is to find allies. "Go on." Ezio's tone quickly turned to concern. "Ezio, I'm afraid your mission hasn't been completed yet. The Pope's army is about to march into Forlì, and although my territory is small, the city is in an important strategic position. "And you, want me to help?" "I don't have a lot of troops, but I know your mercenaries can help me, right?" "Well, I'll talk to Uncle Mario about it tonight." "I don't think he's going to turn me down ......," Caterina said. Me too. Ezio deliberately kept his voice low. But if you help me, it's not just that simple, you'll have to face a terrible army. Caterina saw Xu Lang and Gui Yanye and asked, "Ezio, who are they?" I never seem to have seen one. ”
"They're all our allies, we'll talk about them later, don't worry."
"Hello, Miss Caterina." Xu Lang and Gui Yanye also bowed deeply, and Caterina also smiled and signaled that there was no need to be polite: "Since we are all friends, then we have nothing to be polite, welcome to your arrival." While several people were talking, Mario appeared, and saw him say with a serious face: "Ezio, Caterina, Xu Lang, Gui Yanye, we have all arrived, just waiting for you!" "Let's talk about it after the meeting, how about it?" "Now I have to think about what I'm going to say in the meeting, how I'm going to explain everything." But after that, we'll talk about it later, shall we? "I'm concerned about the meeting," said Caterina, "and let's go in together!" ”
……
Xu Lang also remembered the plot of the meeting very clearly, after all, several people mentioned Desmond at this time, but Xu Lang really didn't want to say that Desmond was a descendant of Ezio, and his journey was completely out of his business, Xu Lang also knew the people in the conference room, among the two women sitting on the bed, the younger one was Ezio's sister Claudia, and the other was Ezio's mother Maria Auditore, since Ezio's father died, his mother became the patriarch of the Auditore family.
There is also the middle-aged man in black, Xu Lang remembers it best, this is Ezio's closest assistant and the sharpest critic who criticizes him - Nicolò Machiavelli, this guy's role is almost the second highest, and I am afraid that I will have to deal with this guy in the future.
"Ah, Mother!" When Ezio saw his mother, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he immediately came to a big hug, and Maria also hugged her son tightly, and now Ezio has become the backbone of the old man, Xu Lang saw this scene with both jealousy and emotion, and he really couldn't remember how long he hadn't been cared for by his parents.
"Gui Yanye, this meeting is a very important meeting, you must listen carefully to every word, and the questions they ask must be answered carefully, and you must not show your stuffing." Xu Lang cautiously warned Gui Yanye, Gui Yanye understood and signaled Xu Lang to fully understand this.
