Chapter 12: The Church of the Hidden One
Is that you, Giovanni?
Mary never found much opportunity to say this. With {dream} small ◢.1a
She knew that if it was really her husband, and there was something unspeakable, even if she asked, the answer would be no. What's more, this man didn't stay with them for long.
It took an hour, after getting them safely to Monteriggioni, that the man named Eagle left alone and disappeared into the night. After this they were greeted by their loved ones, Mario Auditore.
Mario had already learned from Josh what Giovanni was going to do, and he knew what Josh was up to. So he was very cooperative and said something that he knew and was on the surface, and he didn't say anything else.
"If you want to know anything, I'll talk about it after I've met His Highness Josh, but you're Giovanni's son, the Eagle of Florence, and the blood of the Auditore family. I believe you can do what you can do and make the right decisions. ”
After saying that, he left, and he went to meet Giovanni.
He didn't know what Giovanni was talking to his nephew, and if he said something that he was talking about, or if it wasn't the same as what Giovanni said, it would be a big problem.
Giovanni had planned to meet Josh, but after thinking about it, it was so late.
A lot of what he said was like storytelling, but he didn't make it up alone, but with Josh's help, so he wasn't worried about that.
As for his brother Mario, Giovanni knew that he would definitely come looking for him, so he waited for him directly at the door of the church for a while. Sure enough, Mario arrives, and after a conversation with Mario, they leave.
Giovanni had to explain to his eldest son Federico, and of course his approach was very simple, he planned to let Federico wear a mask like himself. Although this thing was a bit unreliable, as he was keenly aware that Maria seemed to see something, there was no way around it.
As for his youngest son, Pedruccio, he doesn't have to worry about it.
Because this kid now lives with Josh and learns magic with Josh, he wouldn't normally be able to meet his brother Ezio.
The sun had just risen the next day, and they all woke up very early after Mario had warned the Ezio family in advance. After dressing up a little, they followed Mario to the church in the center of Monteriggioni, where it was their day to meet Josh.
Still dressed in black Assassin robes, Giovanni stood quietly in front of the church waiting for Ezio's party, who looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Mario and Ezio coming, he didn't say much, just nodded at Mario and turned around and pushed open the door of the church.
The church had already been renovated by Mario and his men, and although it was not as large or luxurious as the real cathedrals, it was surprisingly holy and low-key with its silver and pale gold decorations.
And in the innermost part of the church, where the statue of the god should have been placed, there was a stone chair that looked like a king's seat, and on the stone chair sat a very young man dressed in a black robe, who was looking at his group lightly.
"Your Highness."
Just as Ezio was thinking about who this young man was, his uncle Mario and the man in black named Igor directly lowered their heads and leaned forward slightly, and at the same time put their right hand on their left chest and saluted the young man, which made Ezio's family stunned.
This young man is the Highness that Igor and Mario are talking about?
This caught Ezio off guard, but a good homeschooling quickly calmed them down, and they saluted Josh, even though Josh looked about his size or even smaller.
"No need for that, Eagle, and Mario."
Josh waved his hand casually, and soon they felt an invisible force dragging them up.
However, Giovanni and Mario were calm, this kind of thing was normal for this highness, but it was not so simple for Ezio and them.
Ignoring their expressions, Josh stood up and walked over to Ezio. To be honest, he hadn't looked closely at whether this Ezio was more similar to the one in the movie, or the classic character in the game.
But after taking a closer look at this guy, Josh didn't know what to say.
It's not that he's not handsome enough, handsome enough, otherwise it would be impossible to make Florence's famous beauty Cristina fall in love with him, but this guy is a little different from what he imagined.
"Probably, except for the scar at the corner of the mouth, and the lack of enough fortitude. It's more in line with Ezio's image. ”
Josh can only say that, but think about it.
When Assassin's Creed II was made, it directly used the same face of the first generation of Altai plus Desmond. In fact, there were some wonders when Josh was playing at the time, why this happened.
But once he got used to it, he just felt as if his dad Giovanni seemed to be a little more handsome.
However, in the middle-aged age, Ezio seems to have changed a lot, especially in the G of the book of Revelation, following in the footsteps of his ancestors, Ezio of that era made Josh absolutely worthy of the word handsome.
"Forget it, that's it, it's the movie version. Maybe the ani function at that time was not good, and I could only project my own face, right? ”
Josh touched his chin and simply stopped thinking about these things.
Anyway, no matter how much you think about it, you can't change anything, it's better not to think about these messy things, not to mention it's not a big deal, if you really want to see the face of the old pervert uncle in the game, Josh can do it.
I just don't know if this Ezio is willing to do it anymore.
Probably thinking that he had been staring at him for a long time, Josh quickly reacted, and then said with a slightly regretful face:
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I'm just thinking of something else, Mr. Ezio Auditore, and I'm sorry for what happened to your family. By the way, my name is Josh. Welcome to Monteriggioni, welcome to the Church of the Hidden. ”
The name of the Church of the Hidden Ones was purely due to Josh's laziness and cancer, or the difficulty of naming it, and finally gave his church this name.
But Josh doesn't care, anyway, in the Marvel world, he also serves as the boss of a League of Hidden Ones, although he basically never showed up.
"Thank you, Your Highness Josh."
Ezio hurriedly bent down to express his gratitude, although the highness named Josh was a little distracted just now, but it looked like he was remembering something.
In line with what he had just said, Ezio also thought that he was reminiscing and lamenting his father's departure, which made Ezio feel a little better inside.
As for the Church of the Hidden Ones, he had never heard of it. But he also thinks it's very normal, just like the name, they are a group of secretive people.
As Giovanni's son, he wouldn't have known that his father was working for such an organization if it weren't for his own father's death.
"So what are your plans for the future? Ezio. ”
After some greeting and comforting Ezio and his family, Josh asked directly. In fact, Josh can take his time, such as slowly exposing him to something, and then subtly influencing him. But Josh didn't want to do that.
And Josh is very familiar with and understands Ezio's plans, although it is not known if he still wants to flee to Spain with his mother and sister. However, in the original book, Ezio ended up staying in Monteriggioni, because he caused trouble that caused Monteriggioni to suffer as well.
But now it's different, although he doesn't know exactly what Giovanni did, but he believes that Giovanni is a guy who will definitely teach Vieri a profound lesson when he comes to hunt down his son.
Josh couldn't guarantee that Vieri would still have the guts to harass him, so he had to take the initiative.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Ezio also froze, a question he didn't know how to answer.
In fact, if Vieri hadn't pursued him yesterday, he had planned to join his uncle and stay in Monteriggioni, but last night, he hesitated in the face of that situation.
But one person changed all that, and that was the eagle.
The man who claimed to be his best friend of his father, and who also had a very good relationship with his uncle, had seen him see something he had never believed before, and he had never seen anyone so easily face his enemies ten times as easily, and deal with them all.
At this moment, his heart changed. At the very least, he felt that he and his family were safe in Monteriggioni, and he found that the organization he worked for seemed to be bigger than he had imagined.
He had a feeling that his father's death might not be so simple.
Monteriggioni had his uncle and his father's best friend, and if Ezio wanted to find refuge, it was the best choice. And if Ezio wants to continue his revenge, this is the best option.
As if having figured everything out, Ezio quickly made up his mind and then raised his head and said to Josh resolutely, "I hope to join you." ”
"Really?" Josh nodded, then asked rhetorically, "Are you here for revenge?" ”
"Yes." Ezio was very calm.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Josh, but I don't really know you. As your name suggests, you are a bunch of coverts, and I didn't even know my father was working for you. But I hope you will accept me. ”
"I crave revenge, my heart is burning, and I want to be able to be like Mr. Igor."
Speaking of this, Ezio paused and then raised his head and said firmly: "At the same time, I also want to follow in the footsteps of my father, he is willing to serve you, he is willing to serve the Church of the Hidden One, and he must have a reason to dedicate his faith, so I also hope that I can continue to pass it on." ”
“”
Josh rubbed his brow, he felt as if the joke had gotten bigger.
Although Giovanni wore a mask, Josh could definitely imagine the wonderful expression under his mask, Giovanni almost died before following him, although he agreed with his ideas and was the most loyal person, but he didn't have faith or anything.
However, Josh was not stunned, but nodded appreciatively and said, "He will be handed over to you in the future, Eagle." ”
Turning around, Josh left the place directly.
To be honest, he didn't expect that meeting Ezio would cause such a one-sided embarrassment, and that it was done in front of his father, who he thought was dead.
But Josh doesn't care that much, it's all about it, let Ezio continue to grow, and let's talk about it later.
"Huh? I remember Ezio's first girlfriend, as if I thought that Ezio would never return to Florence and get engaged to someone else, can I still rewrite this tragic story? ”
