Chapter 11: Is That You, Giovanni?

Both Eagle and Igor actually pronounce the same. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā but one is a code name, and the other is indeed a homonym.

Actually, this thing was Josh's idea from another game.

Reliana, this is a legendary woman with many titles, but Josh's most profound influence is the Sister Nightingale. And the word nightingale also has a homonym, and that is Nettinger.

And to be honest, when Josh used to play the series of games of Assassin's Creed, the most profound influence was not only the super handsome parkour and various methods of assassination, but also the Hawkeye who could see through everything.

So, the name of the eagle is actually very suitable for Giovanni, and even for the people of their family.

It is probably for this reason that Giovanni did not hesitate to accept this title. Of course, in fact, I'm afraid that no matter what title Josh gives him, he will accept it, but this one is the most suitable and his favorite.

Back on the road, this time under Giovanni's protection, Ezio and the others will no longer be in any danger. And as Ezio's mother suddenly turned around, and as he got closer to Monteriggioni, Ezio's mood got better and better.

Glancing at the man named Igor in the black assassin's robe, who was half a body away from him, Ezio suddenly asked, "Mr. Igor, you and my father are very familiar, right?" I don't think he would have told you some little secrets about me if it was just one side of the relationship. ”

Giovanni paused, but instead of looking back, he deliberately slowed down his horse to keep it parallel to Ezio, and Ezio's sister Claudia also poked her head out of the carriage to look at him, probably the little girl was also very interested in these things.

Giovanni thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, very familiar. We are the best friends and at the same time we are learning under a mentor. So if you really want to talk about it, he and I should be the closest brothers and best friends. ”

Giovanni had already thought that if he came into contact with Ezio, there would inevitably be some communication, so he had to know how to deal with it after receiving some hints and guidance from Josh.

Anyway, without exposing yourself, you can do whatever you want.

"Is that so?" Ezio and his sister looked at each other, both of them puzzled. "Have I seen you? Mr. Igor? ”

"Yes, but you were too young then."

Giovanni sighed, in fact, this kind of deception to his children and wife, he was still more uncomfortable to say.

He's not Josh, he's just careless so it doesn't matter what he says, even if it's a white lie, Giovanni is still a little depressed.

"So, why don't you take off your mask?"

It was Claudia, who wondered why her father's best friend kept wearing a mask.

Not only her, but also Ezio and Maria, who had been sitting in the carriage. And Maria could clearly feel that the man she knew so well was absolutely hiding something.

But unfortunately, Giovanni shook his head lightly: "This is the rule, I can't take off the mask." ”

"Why? Aren't you and my father both assassins? Why doesn't he use it and you need it? ”

"Because I'm not the same as what he's responsible for."

Indeed, if you look at the system that Josh has made now, what Giovanni is responsible for now is indeed different from what he was responsible for before, and this is not a lie.

After thinking about it, Giovanni simply told Ezio about some of the systems Josh had come up with, and he would have to get familiar with them sooner or later anyway.

"Our organization is actually a religious institution, and we have our own leaders. At the same time, our organization has quite a few departments, and your father and I both belong to the category of assassins, you should know about the Brotherhood, right? ”

"Uh, this"

Ezio touched his head, he really didn't understand these things now.

To be honest, he was surprised enough when he found out that his father was an assassin, but now it seems that his father's organization is even bigger than he imagined.

"Well, it doesn't matter. But now you can know that our Brotherhood actually has a name, called the Brotherhood of Light and Darkness. ”

"Brotherhood of Light and Darkness?"

"That's right, I have a different choice from your father, he is the light and I am the dark."

Giovanni's voice was still cold, as if it was just a normal thing.

In fact, this thing is a classification that Josh has reformed within their brotherhood, and it is a relatively confidential thing. Giovanni didn't think there was any problem in telling Ezio, though, because he would definitely find a way to get involved.

"My father, is it light?"

"That's right. Where there is light, there must be darkness. And if there is no darkness, how can the greatness of the light be sustained? Light and darkness are born together, but the things in charge are different. ”

"Then my father is responsible for collecting intelligence?"

Ezio was very clever and knew a lot from Giovanni's words.

In retrospect, my father seemed to have given them the impression of being just a banker, gentle and kind like the sun, and at the same time had many friends.

And the man in black in front of him, he was as cold as a biting cold wind.

Even if he didn't look like that now, the previous battle, the skill, the stroll that killed the enemy, was like the Grim Reaper in the night.

"Pretty much."

Giovanni nodded, looking back on his life, it seemed that he was constantly getting information and then going to deal with the enemy. If the latter one were removed, it would be almost the same as Ezio's caprice, but Giovanni didn't explain anything.

"So, why did you choose darkness?"

"Because of faith."

Giovanni sighed secretly, he couldn't say anything if it wasn't his own choice, but he didn't regret his choice either. He was just wondering how to deal with this problem so many little ones, and it was the first time he had found that his child was so curious.

"Can you tell me about your past with my father?"

“”

"I swear this is the last question, please, Mr. Igor!"

Seeing that Ezio and Claudia all looked pleading, Giovanni's heart softened.

Although he knew that talking too much would inevitably reveal flaws, but after one more glance at the equally puzzled eyes of his wife Maria, he finally decided to make up a story, just like the children were when they were young and put them to sleep.

"Well, that's the last question."

Giovanni nodded helplessly, and then, as if caught in a memory, he spoke for a long time: "Me and your father, and several others, including, of course, your uncle Mario. We are all taught by one guru. ”

There's really nothing wrong with this sentence, whether it's him or Mario is now learning battle qi from Galen, so it's no problem to say that it's a mentor. In fact, Giovanni and Mario were taught by the same Assassin Mentor.

"We learned all kinds of skills and knowledge from a young age, and although our instructors were very strict, we were also very happy at that time. But at that time, your father was very intelligent and sociable, and his unusual talent was revealed. ”

"And when we were sixteen, we began to face a choice. One is to choose 'light', so that he can go to the outside world and see more things, but it is also very dangerous. There is also the option of 'darkness', which is to stay and be in the darkness forever. ”

"Giovanni and Mario's final choice was 'light', so they left, and I chose 'dark', so I stayed."

When he said his name, the corners of Giovanni's mouth twitched obviously, but because he was wearing a mask, others couldn't see it at all, and after calming down his mood, he was going to continue, in fact, his own experience was split into two parts, and these were almost true.

"Whoever chooses the 'light' will have a bright assassin's robe, which is the one on you. They will learn some simple combat techniques, but more importantly, how to obtain intel and how to break into various social circles. ”

"Dark, like me, wore black Assassin robes and learned all sorts of sophisticated combat techniques. For example, how to hide yourself, such as how to find the best place to assassinate, such as how to kill the enemy more efficiently. ”

At this, both Ezio and Claudia couldn't help but shudder, and they were even a little glad that their father had chosen in the first place.

If his father really stayed, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do with them, and now they can't help but wonder, if his father had stayed at that time, then wouldn't he have died now?

Without an answer, Giovanni would not have answered such a boring question, how could he have such a choice at that time.

He groaned for a moment and continued, "Although Giovanni is gone, our contact is still there. And our headquarters are in Monteriggioni, where your family has purchased a property. So, even if he left, we would see each other a lot in the years that followed. ”

"I see."

Ezio and Claudia both nodded, they had never heard of these appearances, they gave them a lot of reverie. And now it seems that this Mr. Igor is going to take them to meet their Majesty.

It's just that none of them noticed that Mary, who was sitting in the carriage, showed a hint of deep thought. The man named Igor, who gave her a very familiar feeling, said something very different from what he had learned from his husband.

The details are basically right, but the rest of the things are as if a person's life has been split in two. But Maria didn't say anything, she was very puzzled by what had happened to Monteriggioni, and she was also very curious about what happened to Mario and them.

Of course, she still has one more missing:

"Is that you? Giovanni? ”
