Chapter 464: A Monthly Pass for Dialogue Across the Millennium)
Ordinary players obviously don't know the conversation in the Nebula Game Lounge.
But if you want to be clear, then all players will strongly condemn Chen Xu: "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Chen, you are right. The Assassin Organization will not give players a knife. He was originally a member of the Assassin Organization, but later he betrayed the Templars and was stabbed. That's not to forget it!"
In the meantime, the players also experienced another wave of baptism of swords.
In the modern line, when Desmon takes the apple from the secret room, Juno in the pioneer said that Lucy would betray the assassin in the future, so he controlled Desmon's body and forced him to stab Lucy in the abdomen with his sleeve sword and kill her.
At the same time, as the game plot progresses, players also have a deeper understanding of the protagonist Egio in the game.
When he was young, Egio embarked on the path of assassin because of hatred. At that time, he had only the idea of revenge.
But in middle age, Egio saw enough people and things, becoming mature and wise.
At this time, Egio had already understood what the meaning of an assassin was.
Egio, who came to Rome, explained the reason why he planned to stay in Rome: ‘There will be no peace until we stand up and resist the Bogia family and the Templars!’
In Rome, the Bogia family had completely controlled the city, and the entire city was in ruins and exuded a smell of despair.
In order to liberate Rome, Egio decided to start with the grassroots people.
He established a fraternity and passed on the skills and faith of the assassin to more people, hoping to work together to fight against the brutal Knights Templars.
After years of struggle, Egio finally led the growing assassin organization to complete revenge and followed the guidance of Golden Apple.
He headed all the way to Spain and killed the poison Duke Cesare on the battlefield surrounded by fire.
The activities in Rome gave Egio a reputation as an assassin mentor, which was also the most glorious moment in his assassin career.
Egio then began to focus on other aspects. He consolidated the assassin's power in Italy, established effective communication methods from Sicily to Venice, and standardized the way to train assassin apprentices.
Everything seemed to have settled, but when Egio later packed up the relics left by his uncle Mario, he found a letter from his father once.
In the letter, a secret library hidden in Masyaf, the birthplace of the famous assassin Altayer, is mentioned. In that library, there are more secrets about the assassin and even the world.
Altaïr was once Egio's spiritual mentor when he was young, and his letters also helped Egio greatly. When he discovered this secret, Egio embarked on a journey of seeking the truth out of curiosity and knowledge.
After ten months of trekking through mountains and rivers, Egio, who was over fifty years old, arrived in Masyaf.
However, this former assassin holy land was now under the control of the Templars.
Egio had just arrived at Masyaf's village, and when he went to the castle, he was ambushed and captured by a group of Templars, and tried to hang him.
Fortunately, when he was about to be hanged, Egio successfully broke free and jumped off the tower to escape.
Later, Egio also discovered that the purpose of these Templars was to find Altaïr's secret library. However, they found one after opening the key to this library, and the remaining four keys were hidden in Constantinople.
So Egio embarked on a journey of finding the key, and was also involved in the internal struggle of the Byzantine royal family in Constantinople.
And I met a woman locally, who is also his future wife: Sophia.
Even though Egio is now over fifty years old and even though he is nearly thirty years older than Sofia, Egio still maintains the original intention of his youth at this time.
‘Who are you, sir?’ In the bookstore, a young woman looked at Egio strangely and asked.
‘I? It’s just the most interesting person you meet in your life.’ Egio said with a smile.
Through these keys during the journey of finding keys, Egio was able to see the magnificent life of his predecessor Altaire.
Altayne was once an arrogant young man like Egio, arrogant and irritable.
He misinterpreted the assassin's creed as doing whatever he wanted, so what he did in Jerusalem had very serious consequences.
So his assassin mentor carefully arranged a "death" for him, depriving Altaïr of the identity of the Assassin Master, and letting him start from scratch.
The mentor gave Altayel nine names, asking Altayel to kill these people and bring peace to the local people.
But during the assassination, Altaïr discovered that not all the people on the list were evil.
But Altay's mentor told him that these people were all Knights Templars, with the purpose of getting the Artifact of Eden: Golden Apple, in an attempt to control the world with this.
But when Altayne completed these tasks, he realized that all this was his mentor's conspiracy, and his mentor wanted to monopolize the Golden Apple.
In the end, Altay defeated his mentor.
And began to reflect on the creed and responsibility about the assassin.
These memories also made Egio understand and long for this senior more and more, looking forward to the moment he opened the library.
Finally, Egio gathered the keys and arrived at the door of Altaïr Library with Sophia. After saying goodbye to Sophia, Egio entered the library alone.
But after entering the library, what was different from what he imagined was that there was no so-called books or knowledge here, only the remains of the assassin's ancestor Altaire.
The corpse was covered with a weather-beaten assassin's suit, and Altaïr sat peacefully in the center.
Hundreds of years have condensed in the blink of an eye of the inheritance of two generations of assassin masters.
On Altaïr's remains, Egio found another key and found another golden apple in the library.
This also made Egio realize something.
‘Search another holy thing?’
‘No, you stay here.’
Instead of reaching out to touch, Egio kept retreating toward the back.
‘It's enough that I've seen one in my life.’
At this time, a ray of light suddenly burst out from the golden apple, and Egio, combined with what he had seen, finally understood everything.
‘Desmon? I once heard your name, a long time ago, and now this name is like a long dream lingering in my mind.’
‘I don’t know where you are, nor how you can hear what I say, but I know you’re listening.’
Egio looked at the scene around him that was affected by the power of the Golden Apple, and then slowly removed the equipment on his body.
‘I used to be just trying to live, not knowing what the meaning was, just like a moth flying toward the distant moon.’
‘I finally discovered a strange truth, that is, I was just a message passing through, a message that I couldn’t understand.’
‘Who are we, who is so lucky to share our story like this? And pass it on to the next century?’
‘Maybe you can answer my question, maybe you can make all this suffering some value in the end.’
‘Now, listen...’
Seeing this scene at the same time is like Egio in the game.
Song Ren also understood everything.
Egio is just a melodraft, and has gone through so much just to let the future Desmon, know about the forerunner.
