Chapter 32: The Beginning of the Underworld

When the men caught up with the carriage carrying the false count in a deserted spot outside the city of Rome, they found that it contained only two dead men and a large chest stuffed with stones.

Both the coachman and the retinue pretending to be the Count had their throats cut by a sharp blade. None of them had bloodstained murder weapons in their hands, and the possibility of suicide after killing can be basically ruled out, that is, the murderer infiltrated the running carriage, successfully killed the driver and the people in the car, and then left quietly, all under the noses of the various forces tracking the carriage, but no one found the assassin.

Until the horses pulling the cart stopped on their own, no one was aware that the assassination had taken place......

After that, the various forces chasing the Count began a game of wits and courage around the motionless carriage, and when their respective large forces arrived, it evolved into a simple robbery by force, but the final result is known, and the only reward for the victor was corpses and stones.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tianyi's bookstore changed its address again, and the first customer to open the door was a ragged homeless man, as soon as this person entered, the slender figure suddenly straightened up, regardless of his clothes, it can be said that he walked with an extraordinary bearing, even more graceful than those well-dressed merchants on the street.

"Is it done?" asked Tianyi.

Pietro didn't speak, he slowly raised his right hand and stretched out his Hidden Blade, which still had blood on its edge.

"Your weapons are so old that your blood gauge is useless. Tianyi said.

"But it's still worthy of my trust, unlike you. Pietro replied coldly.

Tianyi smiled: "You are also very old, Pietro, one day, you will not even be able to believe in your own skills." ”

Petro sneered: "Don't bother with it, I'm far from the age where I can't move." ”

"I think you're here to get paid for the trade. Tianyi pulled the conversation to the point.

"Say, wizard, where is Molai?" asked Petro. He had a deep enmity with the Templars and was eager to kill them all, and as soon as he was told the news of Jacques de Molay's death, he compromised with the Count, the fallen Grand Master.

"Are you really going to assassinate him? I must remind you that, after the arrest seven years ago, Morlay is now very cautious, and it is not easy to get close to him. Tianyi said, "Although your skills are not bad, if you go alone...... In my opinion, the odds of success are less than 20%. ”

"Looks like you're trying to make another deal. Pietro understood what the other man meant.

"Think about it again, Monsieur Pietro, even if you kill him, it will be difficult to get out of it, and you will end up with him at best. When you die, there's nothing left. Tianpao paused: "But Molay is dead, there will still be people who will pass on the Templar thing, the Count of Beauge is in seclusion, but there will be others, maybe the new successor will not be able to carry out Molay's revival plan successfully, but so what? What have you changed?" Pietro, as I said to you when we first met, your hatred is not much hatred in this world, oppressors like the Templars have emerged in history and will not be broken in the future, and not everyone like you who has suffered misfortune has the opportunity and ability to take revenge. ”

"So...... What do you mean......" Petro wanted to listen.

"It's very simple, I can help you, build an organization, pass on your ideas, fight for revenge, deter the powerful, correct the evils, protect the weak, and uphold justice, even if you die, your will and skills will be learned and carried forward by countless disciples. "Tianyi said.

"When a person dies with him, his spirit lives on......" Pietro was silent for a moment and muttered.

Tianyi: "You can think about it, I have time, ten or eight years." Of course, it would be nice to give me an answer right away. ”

Instead of answering the question directly, Petro asked, "Why do you think I am qualified to be the founder of this so-called organization? I remember you said that I was only a figure between the second-rate and the first-class, and I was far from the top." ”

"Huh...... I was referring to your skills. Tianyi: "But in this matter, will is more important than killing skills." ”

Pietro pondered for a moment and asked, "How do I know this isn't your delaying tactic, you let Boge go, and now you're trying to stop me from killing Molai, maybe you've already made some kind of deal with Molay, like helping him revive the Templars." And the people of the Isaiah Monastery are just your pawns, and you deliberately killed their members in front of me, making me subconsciously think that you do not belong to the same camp. ”

"Hah! You're really good at thinking of this possibility, and I'm going to be impressed with you. Tianyi smiled and said: "But in this matter, you still misunderstood me, it is impossible for me to collude with Molai, in fact, I have cooperated with his sworn enemy once." ”

A look of surprise appeared on Pietro's face: "Philip IV!" Two seconds later, he exclaimed, "Could it be that you are also secretly ...... on Black Friday?"

"That kind of thing that has passed, it's all good. Tianyi interrupted: "Philip IV is a man of great power and courage, and to be honest, he deserves to be called a beautiful man. He said this, but there was a look of disgust on his face: "He's a difficult person to work with because he always wants to control the situation." ”

"Hmph...... Isn't that similar to you?" Pietro sneered.

"So he's going to die, but I don't need to do it. Let Molay and the monks continue to figure out a way in secret, and when they kill the king of France, and when Molay's revival plan is one last step, hehe...... I pushed him into the abyss of despair again. Tianyi smiled sickly, like the expression of a drug addict when he finally got rid of it.

"You're such a madman. Pietro said, "But what you say at the moment seems to be worth believing." ”

"Hmph...... It's inevitable, Mr. Petero. The Knights Templar were exhausted, their dynasty was gone, or rather, the era of religion and witchcraft had come to an end, and the future would be different, but it would take a while for a new era to come, perhaps decades, or even centuries...... Then the sins of humanity will push history into a new cycle. Tianyi said: "Let's go back to the topic we just talked about, about what I said...... Establish an organization, what's your answer?"
