Chapter 10: The Sage
Thank you to the leader of the alliance of Sugatoo classmates...... I owe you ten more more, the day it is on the shelves or the next day, well.
Speaking of recommended votes, there are too few teeth!
――――――――――――――
Tumulus.
When he mentioned this kind of thing, Ye Ming couldn't help but think of the game Tomb Raider in his mind.
Tombs in Assassins don't appear as often as in Tomb Raider, but it is undeniable that every Assassin's tomb has a puzzle content similar to that in Tomb Raider.
The designers seem to have a preference for small copies of this puzzle.
After all, the production team of the Assassin series is also the centaur of the Persian monkey game.
……
After passing through the entrance-like small tunnel, what appeared in front of Ye Ming's eyes was a complex mechanism.
Of course, this thing didn't be of much use to him.
Step up the stairs to the final treasure hideout.
The boy barely bothered to get back to his spirits, and began to work on the calculation formula.
The palm of his hand was placed on the sarcophagus in front of him, and the barrier that was originally blocked by the mechanism was like water vapor in his hand, quietly melting and gradually dissipating.
After a few moments, the surface layer of the sarcophagus dissipated without a trace.
What appeared in front of him was a strange skeleton that had been preserved intact.
Although there is no difference in size from humans, the average human has only 24 ribs, but the skeleton in front of him has 36 ribs.
It is clear that this is not a human corpse.
So apart from humans, what else is there in this world that is similar to humans?
The forerunners, of course, who call themselves 'gods.'
"Luck seems to be good." Bai Len's eyes widened and he sighed.
The young man in front of him said that hope was the relic of the forerunners, and now it is indeed like this.
Thinking of the super luck wrapped around him, there seems to be nothing to make a fuss about this result.
"I've always had good luck." Ye Ming smiled and looked at the left palm of the corpse.
On the white phalanges, there was a ring that shimmered with a faint glow.
Stretching out his hand, Ye Ming took this thing off the other party's hand, brought it to his eyes, and looked at it suspiciously.
"A holy relic that is not in the record?" White Len looked at this thing curiously.
Ye Ming nodded.
The golden apple did not react at all, indicating that it was not part of the original forbidden fruit.
This is also normal, the forerunners are not only the forbidden fruit, although the power of the forbidden fruit is very strong, but it is the same or even stronger thing, maybe the group of forerunners will also have it.
Of course, something stronger Ye Ming didn't believe.
In the plot, after the forerunner lost the forbidden fruit, he was beaten back by the human counterattack.
This alone is enough to prove the power of the Forbidden Fruit, and compared to it, even if the other things of the Precursor are equally powerful, they are definitely not able to surpass the Forbidden Fruit.
"Can you know what its effect is?"
"I don't know."
The young man shook his head: "But the Lord God should know." ”
Bai Len rolled his eyes, Ye Ming was pure nonsense.
Open the properties panel and you will see an introduction to the item's properties.
Ye Ming put it in front of him, and a line of subtitles suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Precursor Relic: The Ring of the Dead."
"Synopsis: This is a ring with magical powers...... Well, probably. ”
"Categories: Equipment, Accessories."
"Effect: Able to listen to the voices of the dead and see the dead souls."
"Related Attribute: Spiritual."
"Rating: C-"
"...... "What the hell."
A prop that can talk to spirits?
What the hell is this, let him go and turn into a psychic medium?
Holding the ring with a smile, Ye Ming felt that this thing was really useless...... At least not for him at all.
But it's better than nothing, it's an unexpected surprise.
Straightening his mind, Ye Ming looked to the left front.
There is the exit of the ancient tomb.
After opening the trap twice, the stone door opened, and his figure stepped out from behind a wall.
Turn your head and you can see the burning Palace of Versailles.
There was a constant noise around.
Apparently he has not left the confines of the palace yet.
Putting on his hood, the boy sneaked a few steps to the side, his body quickly disappearing into the darkness.
A few minutes later, his figure reappeared, already outside the palace.
There was the sound of footsteps nearby.
Dorian walked over, nodded at him, and turned to head for the Brotherhood's quarters.
Ye Ming looked at his back and sighed again that Eagle Eye was easy to use.
I feel like I'm completely exposed to the other person's sight, and I can't hide at all.
This reconnaissance ability is really powerful.
Shaking his head with emotion, the two walked side by side, and soon moved away from the noisy area.
Dorian turned his head and glanced at the holy sword that Ye Ming was carrying on his back, and a smile appeared on his face.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least the Holy Sword was finally in hand, which was naturally a very big victory for the League of Assassins.
……
When he returned to the Assassin quarters, he was crowded with many people.
Dressed in a white robe with a hood to cover his face.
The most common outfit used by the Assassins.
It seems that although this operation was tortuous, with the cover of Bai Len, the main forces of the assassins were finally withdrawn.
"Now that the Holy Sword is in hand, then I won't linger here any longer."
Ye Ming didn't say anything politely, and directly said his thoughts straight to the point.
The three Mentors of the Assassins standing in the center nodded.
"Tulum pleases you."
"Don't worry."
Ye Ming smiled confidently.
"Still, I would suggest that it is best to withdraw the main force of the Assassins from Tulum."
"We'll think about it." The female assassin nodded in agreement, and her words changed: "But the news from there indicates that we will not be able to leave Tulum for at least the next time. ”
"Oh?" Ye Ming was stunned.
It stands to reason that Tulum is not of much importance, although there is the remains of a temple there......
"The Sage was captured by the Knights Templar, and the men we sent to save the Sage...... Mutiny. ”
At this point, the faces of several Assassin Mentors were a little unpleasant.
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes.
Duncan Walpole.
The traitor to the assassins that appear in this plot.
Not only did they steal the crystal blocks, but they also took a map of the Assassin Order.
In fact, Ye Ming would say that Tulum was exposed before because of this person.
The map of the distribution of power that he stole was the reason for Tulum's exposure.
That is, the plot has already begun.
"Sage...... Does it really exist? Ye Ming was silent for a moment and asked.
"Yes, as incredible as it may be, that man did live for a long time, at least more than a hundred years."
“……”
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes.
Although Bai Len on his shoulder didn't speak, the cat's eyes revealed the same meaning.
Something that can give one eternal life...... There is only the Holy Grail in this world.
And the Sage has endless life.
Then even if he doesn't have the Holy Grail, he definitely has an intimate contact with the Holy Grail.
"What does it mean to be organized?" After pondering for a moment, Ye Ming asked for the second time.
The Mentors looked at him and held out their palms in a neck-wiping gesture.
Two very simple words - obliteration.
The Sage must not fall into the hands of the Templars, and the distribution of the Assassins' power cannot be revealed, so the Assassins have issued orders to erase Duncan and the Sage.
But that's all for later.
At least for now, the Assassin Order is at a disadvantage.
And the temple in Tulum is related to the Holy One.
Therefore, before the death of the Sage is guaranteed, the place of Tulum must not be given up...... Otherwise, the Assassin Order would be too passive.
