Chapter 17: There is no way to do it
Josh was right, for Giovanni, Vieri's vote was really no different from a bed bug.
At first, Ezio was quite excited, but when he actually started the mission with Nightingale, he found that he could no longer be regarded as a normal person, but more like his mentor.
With his high dynamic vision, his strong hearing, and his unparalleled speed and strength, no one could spot Ezio even in a white Assassin's robe, and even if he did, his eyes turned black and he died.
Relaxed, really unusually easy.
Ezio even had some understanding of why his mentor was so bland after facing the siege of ten people and easily solving each other when he saved his family, because if he couldn't even do this, Ezio felt that he really didn't want to mess around.
Now he feels the same way, these soldiers really don't have any problems with solving it. Of course, there was also one thing that made him very uncomfortable, and that was that during the daytime he was surveying, he saw a guy he had seen.
The guy was fat, but it did feel very oppressive. Of course, if it was just this, it wouldn't attract Ezio's attention, the most important thing was that Ezio had seen this guy in Uberto's room a lot, and his father and brother were there at the time of the execution!
And Ezio found that his mentor seemed to notice the guy too, even though he was wearing a mask, as his clenched fist was silently telling Ezio that he was angry and that he definitely knew the man.
"Do you know him, Mentor?"
"Of course." Giovanni hesitated a little but nodded, then said softly, "His name is Rodrigo Borgia." Your father was tracking him and investigating him, but sadly your father died. β
"He was one of the murderers of my father's death?"
"So to speak, he can be regarded as the cause and murderer of his father's death."
One can imagine how angry Ezio was when he heard the news, but he was stopped by Giovanni. After Ezio calmed down, he also knew that he was impulsive, so he honestly followed his mentor to complete the survey mission, and waited until it was dark.
However, when they got rid of everyone, including Vieri, they found that the guy named Rodrigo had already left.
This made Ezio very annoyed, such a great opportunity for revenge actually slipped away like this, and it would be a little uncomfortable for anyone to change.
Fortunately, Ezio is still somewhat sane.
He knew that his mentor was doing this for their good, and that San Gimignano was just a small town, but he knew that Josh was here to expand his church.
If they had gone on a killing spree during the day, I am afraid that there would have been more fear of them than of true faith.
Moreover, during the day, Ezio followed them and eavesdropped on their conversation, and knew that they belonged to another sect, and in his current form, it was only a matter of time before his side came into contact with them, so he could calm down quickly.
Ezio felt a little pity, and in order to get more information, he directly vented all his unhappiness on Vieri, but this unlucky boy who had already been scared out of his courage was rarely hardened when he found out that it was Ezio who came to trouble him.
Maybe it's because the woman I once loved followed this guy, maybe because I was beaten in a fight before.
Vieri was reluctant to reveal anything anyway, which annoyed Ezio so much that he almost slit his throat with his Hidden Blade.
But at this time, Giovanni made a move.
He stomped directly on Vieri's arm, and at the same time crouched down, the Hidden Blade in his hand unfolded, directly against his fingers.
Eagles are fierce creatures, and Giovanni's black mask is even more eerie.
"Tell him you know, or I'll cut off your fingers one by one. Believe me, you can't even kill yourself in my hands, I have a way to torture you and not die. Think about it, rather than die more comfortably, it is better to endure endless pain and slowly survive until your own death. β
Giovanni's voice was very cold, and he was really not a soft-hearted man.
I think that in order to obtain information, he directly arrested one of Rodrigo's guards, and then tortured him to ask for information that they were going to attack the Grand Duke of Milan, although that mission failed.
But the tortured guard, Giovanni, had been looking at him indifferently.
Watching him wail, watching him scream, since these people were enemies in Giovanni's eyes, there was no need for sympathy, and he had always done so.
Probably frightened by Giovanni's coldness and cruelty, maybe when he tried to struggle but Giovanni cut off a finger alive and stuffed it into his mouth, this time he was completely honest.
He knew that this man who wore the mask of a black hawk and once slaughtered his subordinates definitely did what he said.
So he decisively gave up his resistance, and after telling everything Ezio wanted to know, he only asked for one, that is, to die a clean death.
Giovanni agreed to his request and directly pierced his heart with his battle qi and Hidden Blade, allowing the guy to die quietly.
After doing this, they quickly departed and returned to Monteriggioni.
As for what happened after that, it was not their responsibility, according to Giovanni's explanation, Mario was in charge of those things, or rather they belonged to the light.
Ezio was just an Assassin waiting for his graduation exams now, and he didn't care about any of that.
After killing Vieri and getting the information he wanted, he was in a better mood now, so he went straight back with Giovanni, this time in less than a week.
"So, you're done?"
Josh didn't come back so quickly, it wasn't a difficult task in the first place, if they really did it for so long, then maybe Josh would have other ideas, such as these guys are too vegetable, this kind of task can't work?
"Yes, and we got more information."
"I see, just write it down."
Josh nodded, he didn't bother to ask how he got the information, and he wasn't even interested in what the information he was getting.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what it is, paladins have always liked to plot something and then act.
In Josh's opinion, it is actually quite naΓ―ve, and of course it can only be in the eyes of people like him. In the face of such power, ordinary people are afraid that there will be more collapses, right?
But it doesn't matter, since Ezio and the others have completed this mission, then it should be a bigger event next.
Siena, this place Josh has long been eyeing. Even when he came to Monteriggioni again, Josh thought about Siena first, and then Fiorentina.
As for future expansion, it depends on the actions of these assassins, anyway, the whole of Italy is his target range, and then it is radiating the whole of Europe.
At that time, Josh will have enough massive faith power, and Josh can leave this world with confidence.
Anyway, when the time comes, he will leave a fixed Void Gate, so that he can return to this world and continue to contain the power of faith that has reappeared.
So far, Josh has left a total of four fixed Void Gates - the Wizarding World, the Marvel Universe, Jurassic Park, and this world.
To be honest, he personally felt that it was still a good choice to leave these Void Gates.
Needless to say, the wizarding world is definitely its own talent training base.
The Marvel Universe won't talk about it, Jurassic Park to be honest, Josh hesitated at first, but considering that it can provide the most abundant meat resources, Josh also admitted.
In this world, it is purely a state of reaping faith, and Josh doesn't need to care so much about other things.
Anyway, his teachings are written there, and the senior members may live for a long time. Maybe in a few hundred years, Josh might be able to see some familiar faces.
"Go back and get some rest, you're all qualified. Well done, Ezio and Nightingale, the next mission target is Siena. I don't need you to do anything, but you can go along and have a look. β
Josh waved his hand casually, and Ezio and Nightingale looked up to go out.
However, they were surprised to find that their mentor (father) was still in place, but after thinking about it for a while, they probably planned to discuss something with His Royal Highness Josh, so they consciously withdrew.
"Your Highness, are you ready to make a move on Siena?"
Sure enough, after Ezio and the others withdrew, Giovanni couldn't help but ask Josh. They just got rid of San Gimignano, and they haven't had time to plan and receive it properly, so it's time to move the next city?
Isn't it too fast?
"Yes, I know what you're worried about. Actually, this is what I'm worried about, but there is no way, Monteriggioni is too small, so we can't recruit any people, and we can only develop better by moving towards big cities. β
Josh is actually quite helpless about this question, but like he said, this is also a helpless thing, he can only do this.
When his wings are full, Josh doesn't need to think about these troublesome problems, but there is no way now, he still needs to do this.
"Actually, don't worry too much, in Siena we already control the archbishop there, to put it bluntly, he is now our man, so it will be relatively simple."
"Is that so?"
Giovanni nodded, if there was an archbishop to help, then everything would be much easier.
Even Josh can do a lot of the preliminary work without sending a lot of people over, and even the later work is not impossible to do.
"I understand His Highness Josh, then I'll step back first."
Giovanni bowed respectfully, if this is the case, then everything is very simple, then he just needs to take his men to Siena to watch, as Josh said, and then enter the city together.
As for what to do in the future, then we will talk about it then.
"Wait." Josh suddenly shouted.
"It occurred to me that I had some things to discuss with you. And, of course, Mario. β
"Your dispatch, Your Highness."
β......β
Josh scratched his ears with his little thumb, why is this sentence so familiar, replacing His Royal Highness with the words of the master?
