As a war-torn city-state, the life of the people here is extremely bitter.

Every day, they have to endure the chaos of war, and there are two armies who come to loot the people's fat and ointment every now and then, or directly arrest the strong men and go to the front line.

At least, Xu Mu came all the way forward, and in the eyes of these people who had to be forced to go out to find a way to live in order to make a living, they were dull and fearful.

Even after seeing Xu Mu's sophisticated equipment, some people would flee and hide in a hurry.

In fact, the most injured in the war have always been these people at the bottom.

Before arriving at the walled city built by the lackey in Athens, Xu Mu saw a hungry little boy, skinny and in tattered clothes.

With an expression of curiosity and fear, he hid behind a tree and secretly looked at Xu Mu.

After thinking about it, Xu Mu sighed lightly and took out a piece of bread and dry food from his arms.

This was some of the food that the old captain had given him when he was on the ship.

After all, the old captain didn't know that he was a player, so he didn't need to eat or drink in this quest with no hunger points.

In order not to disturb the little boy, Xu Mu put the bread in his hand on a piece of marble that was still clean and tidy not far away.

He strode away.

When he had gone some distance, he looked back again and saw the little boy rushing out like a rabbit.

After picking up the bread, he quickly left.

Then, Xu Mu's gaze was blocked by another man.

It was a man in a blue robe, with a kettle pinned to his waist and a heavy pamphlet glued together in straw paper.

"I saw your deeds, and you want to enter the Tarot Wall?" He asked his own question, and then introduced himself: "Herodotus, a traveler who wandered away from Greece, usually wrote down what I saw and felt. ”

Herodotus traveled all the way and was accustomed to seeing too many rich people drunk on money, the indiscriminate killing of those in power, and the misery and suffering of the people at the bottom.

Today, however, he saw with his own eyes the mercenary, known for his 'ruthless brutality' and 'bounty in his eyes', pull out a loaf of bread and give it to a hungry man.

This suddenly made Herodotus feel acquainted, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello.

After hearing Herodotus' words.

Xu Mu Zhengse raised his head and glanced at the man in front of him.

There were some inexplicable ripples in his heart, which was a feeling he couldn't speak.

Herodotus, the first scholar in the history of mankind to record history.

He is also known as the father of history.

Judging from his birth age, when he began to record history, Sima Qianqian's ancestors who wrote the "Historical Records" were probably still playing with mud ten generations ago.

At this moment, Herodotus stood in front of him.

The wind blew in their faces and passed between the two, but it seemed to span thousands of years.

This is a conversation from 2,000 years ago.

"Xu Mu, a mercenary from the Eastern Country." Xu Mu spoke slowly, not using his ID, but reporting his real name to show respect.

"The Land of the East?" Herodotus was suddenly a little surprised: "Is there also a country in the East?" ”

"Yes, and it's big." Xu Mu nodded.

According to the current timeline, it should be the period when the Zhou Dynasty integrated the surrounding tribes to overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty and was cleaning up the remnants of the Shang Dynasty.

It's a long process, almost spanning seven or eight centuries.

"If I had the chance, I'd love to see that eastern country. This may be the most important part of my record! ”

"Why don't you just call it history, but use the word 'record'?" Xu Mu asked again.

"History?" Herodotus was stunned.

Immediately, he thoughtfully recited it in his heart a few times, and his expression suddenly perked!

"It's a good name! If you don't mind, can I just name everything I've recorded with that name? It's called History! ”

Xu Mu: "......"

Good guys, the baggage of the world line is hidden here?

You know, the book written by Herodotus, which records the period from prosperity to collapse of the entire Greek Empire, is called "History"

Since then, 'history' has become a term of practical significance, referring to the record of some important events that have passed and occurred in the long passage of human years.

Didn't you think it came out of your own mouth?

This seems to form a closed loop......

Of course, a lot of things in the copy don't have to be taken seriously.

"Closer to home, young mercenary, why do you want to break into the walled city of Morris?" Herodotus looked at a magnificent marble city not far away: "The garrison here is sufficient, and every soldier is strong. ”

"I'm just doing something I'm supposed to do." Xu Mu explained ambiguously.

The reason why he explained so much to Herodotus was because Xu Mu planned to adopt him.

In the original, Herodotus was a powerful lieutenant, as he had traveled all over Europe and had a relatively complete map of the region.

In quests, you must obtain a map of the area in order to unlock new places.

With Herodotus, the entire European continent can still be traveled.

You don't have to go through the trouble of completing the [Find the Map] side quests in each region.

This saves a lot of time, which is also another improvement.

Moreover, Herodotus also made many friends all over Europe.

It is used to inquire about the members of the Cult of Kosmos who are always in a dynamic position, and it is a rare and good helper.

Just because your function is so powerful, I have made a friend of yours!

"I think maybe you should plan in more detail."

"I have it." Xu Mu said with a smile.

"What is it?" Herodotus was about to help Xu Mu analyze whether his plan was reasonable.

I saw that Xu Mu had already walked towards the entrance of the walled city with great swagger: "The plan is ......"

As he spoke, he took out the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into the heart of the guard at the door in full view of everyone.

"The plan is to infiltrate." Xu Mu turned his head and smiled at Herodotus.

“？？？？” Herodotus was stunned.

You call this infiltration?

Is it that you have a misunderstanding about infiltration, or am I misunderstanding about infiltrating......

Soon, due to Xu Mu's too ostentatious behavior, the guards instantly triggered an alarm.

"Someone is attacking!!" All the living forces in the entire walled city were mobilized.

A group of soldiers charged at Xu Mu with spears and short spears.

The Athenian lackey Morris, surrounded by several soldiers, hid in the safest room in the walled city.

"Alas......" Herodotus stood outside the walled city, and when he saw Xu Mu being surrounded in an instant, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although his communication with Xu Mu was not deep, there were only a few short conversations between the two.

But for some reason, Herodotus has a different kind of admiration for Xu Mu.

I always feel that his words and deeds are not like people of his own era.

Even the word 'history' he mentioned is very fresh, but it is very accurate.

It is an inspiration to myself.

It would be nice if such a mercenary traveled with him, traveled together, saw more scenery, and drank and talked between the two of them.

It's a pity.

The young mercenary still couldn't get rid of the same problems that young people have.

He was too impulsive.

Even if mercenaries are born to complete bounty quests.

But it also needs more planning......

Herodotus felt sorry for such a confidant whom he had just met but was about to lose.

But he was just a traveler, without any force, and could not help the young mercenary more.

Just when Herodotus was already thinking in his heart, how would he deal with this group of Athenian lackeys before he could move Xu Mu's body out and bury it properly.

Suddenly, he heard a loud roar erupt from the crowd.

When I looked up again.

found that Xu Mu was shrouded in a ray of golden light.

I saw him wearing soft armor, and after a long roar, he raised his legs and stomped violently on the ground.

Skill, Chaos Tread!

"Boom!!"

One kick is like a landslide and the ground cracks!

In an instant, the ground area with a radius of about ten meters quickly cracked, bursting into cracks.

Even the ground on which Herodotus stood trembled faintly, and he needed to steady his pace so that he would not fall.

At this time, a group of soldiers gathered around Xu Mu.

The shock wave caused by his vigorous trampling was all shaken into bloody residues!

One foot, Joyama River!

Seeing this, Herodotus's eyes flashed with a thick tremor!

Rao is that he traveled all the way through Europe and has seen a lot of things.

The Adam's apple, which was shocked by this amazing power, churned again and again, and his voice trembled a little.

"My gods...... Is this guy the one chosen by the gods? ”

"This kick is like the power of a god that only exists in mythology......"

Herodotus's confidence in Xu Mu has also grown rapidly since this kick.

He hurriedly folded his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted, "Watch out for the bonfire tower on the top floor of the walled city!" Once the campfire is lit, there will be more reinforcements coming in!! ”

When Xu Mu heard this, he immediately nodded to Herodotus: "Thank you for reminding me!" ”

Herodotus just breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw Xu Mu take out the bow and arrow on his back, ignite the arrow and aim it at the bonfire tower.

The string is pulled to the full moon and then the hand is released.

Sou!

An arrow broke through the air and directly ignited the bonfire tower on the top floor of the walled city.

"Buzz!!"

The fire burned ferociously in an instant, and the billowing black smoke emitted drifted into the clear sky, which was clearly visible even from several kilometers away.

Soon, a trumpet in response sounded not far away, indicating that a large number of reinforcements would arrive soon!

Herodotus: "???? ”

No...... This......

I said those words just now, I told you to avoid the campfire tower, why did you set it on fire with your backhand??

O my gods! Look at who you have given all your divine powers! Look at him!!

At the same time, Xu Mu, who was struggling to kill the enemy, didn't know what was.

In the world of Assassin's Creed.

In the book "History", which will be published in the future, Herodotus will add an additional sentence.

"If you're not angry, are you still called a young man?

- Herodotus"

……

Spartan camp.

The current leader, Niko, was standing on the edge of a high cliff, holding his handrails, looking out at the soil beneath his feet.

Behind him, a thief-eyed player frowned in thought.

Through the information provided by Mu Luo, Wang Ba did get in all the way, and successfully approached the leader of Sparta, Niko.

However, it was difficult to obtain the Isu artifact in his hand, the spear of Leonidas.

He had tried countless methods, but he couldn't convince Niko to give him the artifact in his hand.

The main thing is that this quest is also fucked up too, okay!

Let yourself be a player with only level 10 and find a way to get the artifact in Niko's hand......

What the hell is this......

Since I know it's an artifact, people must know it's an artifact......

Who would hand over the artifact so simply?

But no matter what, Mu Luo, as one of the four giants in the Eastern Regions, still has a lot of weight in her words.

In the early stage, Wang Ba was provided with so many clues to help him level up quickly.

Wang Ba really didn't dare to offend Mu Luo, and said nothing to her.

After racking his brains, he thought of another way.

Calmed down, rubbed his hands and smiled forward.

"Master Niko, our High Priestess of the Kosmos Cult said that she can help you strengthen the spear of Leonidas in your hand, and then play a greater role."

"The strengthened Spear of Leonidas will surely help you quell the current Bertie War."

This time, Niko finally had a reaction.

Although he still did not look back, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go back, stranger." For the sake of the information you just gave me, I can not kill you. ”

"But this battlefield is not a place for cowards like you to come."

Hearing this, Wang Ba was completely out of luck.

"Is there really a solution to this task?"

"Unless you say that you can be strong enough to kill Niko directly, why should you hand over other people's artifacts to me?" Wang Ba muttered in his heart, and glanced at the red string on Niko's body again??? Attribute.

？？？ , indicating that the enemy is more than 15 levels above you.

And the three question marks in red represent extreme danger!

It shows that Niko's strength has reached the top of the entire dungeon.

"I really don't believe that anyone can complete this task...... Wang Ba finished complaining, and immediately opened the communication with Mu Luo and explained the truth clearly.

Mu Luo, who was on the other end of the communication, also frowned slightly at this time.

According to some clues given by the oracle, she vaguely knew that there was a special way to obtain this artifact.

But the specific way, after all, involves a series of the most powerful weapons in the dungeon, and even the quasi-gods and them don't see it so really.

If everything is according to what Wang Ba said.

It's almost a dead end.

Wang Ba has tried almost any method other than force.

"Could it be...... Is it really necessary to use force? However, it is impractical to use force against the king of Sparta at this stage. Mu Luo thought in her heart.

I heard a small exclamation from Wang Ba's side.

"Lord Muluo, the situation has changed!"

"Say."

"That adopted son of Niko just now, Stantoll trotted up all the way and said something to Niko, and then Stantor brought another mercenary, a player......" Wang Ba said nervously, his eyes kept staring at the man in the white trench coat.

As they passed by, the two also glanced at each other.

Then, Wang Ba saw the man in white walk straight forward, dig out a man's head from his backpack, and throw it at Niko's feet.

Wang Ba cautiously leaned in the direction of the two.

But it doesn't really sound like it.

It's just one word that he hears very solidly.

Spear of Leonidas!

It's broken, there are peers!

"Lord Muluo! This kid is also running for the spear of Leonidas! Wang Ba hurriedly reported.

"What kind of dress is he?" Mu Luo asked again.

After Wang Ba explained clearly, Mu Luo's brows frowned deeper.

A God?!

The reason why I knew that Niko had an artifact in his hand was because of an oracle.

But how did this kid know?

Could it be that he also has an oracle over him?

But it shouldn't.

The twelve quasi-gods of Huaxiu all reside on floating islands, and currently only govern the land of the Eastern Regions.

If there really was one of the quasi-gods covering God A, that quasi-god would have stepped forward to intervene a long time ago, and he would not have allowed himself to target God A like this.

Just when Mu Luo was puzzled.

Wang Ba also seemed to have insight into Mu Luo's silence.

This is a good opportunity to shoot the big guy's ass!

Wang Ba hurriedly relieved: "Lord Muluo, don't worry, I have definitely tried all the ways that conform to common sense just now." But Niko, the old thing, won't pay attention to me, so the end of this kid is the same, it's nothing more than going to my ...... just now."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Ba's voice suddenly stopped.

Because.

From the perspective of Wang Ba.

He saw the man in white whisper a few words to Niko.

Niko suddenly turned around, and an old face asked him repeatedly with excitement and trembling, and his tone was very urgent!

Seeing the latter's nod, Old Niko burst into tears, and with a trembling hand, he reached out and took out a broken spearhead from his waist that had been outlined by the sacred gold edge.

With a reverent face, he held the spear in both hands and handed it to the man in white.

"He, he, he, he, he......" Seeing this scene, Wang Ba was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

"What's going on?" Mu Luo hurriedly asked.

He ...... Niko, that old thing, gave out the spear of Leonidas!! Wang Ba's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes were round, and he trembled in disbelief.

"Lord Muluo......"

"His strategy seems to be above us!"
