People are in the moon, The Sims

After making the decision, the entire conference hall fell into a slightly awkward silence. Now they can't escape no matter how much they want to, because there is only one unsolved problem left.

But none of the assassins present at this moment knew how to bring this up.

Finally, after an assassin swallowed a gulp of saliva, he gritted his teeth and began to report, "In addition, regarding the three assassins we lost... the one who took action was the president of the Assassin Brotherhood, that is... ..that one....."

Of course Yanzui knew who they were referring to, and at the same time he also knew that when that person started to act, someone must have crossed the line of heart, and looking at it now, the person who crossed the line was probably in Jerusalem. Now What should I do? Now their backer is Saladin, at least they cannot offend Saladin.

Yanzui tried hard not to let his emotions show, and finally made a decision, "I allow you to be his enemy, but you are not allowed to kill him. As long as you don't kill him, the assassins of the Brotherhood will also take this as a favor and stay." One line.”

Chapter 91: Richard I the Lionheart

Leave a thin line for assassination.

This is to ensure that Saladin's mission is completed while preserving the friendship between himself and Irlan. It is said that assassins are ruthless, but how is this possible? Unless this person abandons all emotions and becomes a tool.

Yan Zui has become more and more aware over the years that he needs a pillar and a light in his heart to allow him to continue walking in this dark path. Others in the Mountain Old Man's Order do not have this ability, and there is no such ability here. So much warmth.

Irlan also knows that it is impossible to walk in the darkness without support and the light in your heart. It is precisely because of this that he hopes that the assassins in the brotherhood can treat the people around them as brothers and sisters and treat each other as family. rely on.

At the same time, Yanzui also understands that if there is really someone who crosses the line in Jerusalem, then that person cannot be allowed to succeed under any circumstances. If Yilan cannot complete this mission, then she will personally go to the temple on the mountain and use her own Her life was exchanged for the opportunity for that adult to take action, just as she said before——

Yanzui didn't want to hear about Yilan's death.

To put it simply, she would rather die in front of Erlan.

Of course, in addition to not allowing those who cross the line to succeed, this is also the teaching of their old man in the mountains.

After all, the old man in the mountain believed that he was the messenger of justice and wanted to correct the corruption in the world. The first generation of the old man in the mountain also killed Hassan, who had begun to deteriorate, both physically and mentally.

Those who cross the line are depraved and should be killed.

In addition, there is Yanzui's selfishness. If when Ilan left in Jerusalem, Yanzui had great ambitions in his heart, but now he feels a little tired.

Compared with the brotherhood that had just been established and had yet to be divided into factions, the vague internal struggles within the Old Man of the Mountain that had developed to this stage made her feel tired, especially at this moment of great pressure.

But as Hassan, she has her own responsibility. No matter what the situation of the sect is, she needs to persevere. It has to be said that Yan Zui at this moment should be regarded as the most difficult moment in the history of the establishment of the sect.

All I can say is that time is destiny.

Yan Zui sighed, and then looked at the information and missions sent from Saladin in his hand. Maybe this was not an order personally issued by the Sultan, but at the moment, after all, the other party's power was stronger than his own, so he had no choice but to Don't bow your head.

"Send a part of the assassins to the coast. This time the mission is to consume and delay as much as possible. If Richard, the King of England, who came from the sea, can assassinate him..."

It's a good time to try to take over the commission from Richard's younger brother. The king's younger brother always wants his brother's life. That's true. When facing the throne, how many people can have no desire at all? .

Before stabilizing the domestic situation, he chose to go on a cross-sea expedition. Should we say that Richard had absolute confidence, or was he a little naive? This king is full of enthusiasm.

The young king with golden hair and red hair on the ship had a smile on his face. His red eyes were like burning flames, shining with courage and vitality. He had a golden holy sword on his waist. This is a replica based on the legend of King Arthur.

Although there is no brilliance that can illuminate all the darkness like the real Sword of Contract Victory, it is still enough to be the light that rushes to the forefront and guides people forward.

At this moment, the young king's heart is full of expectations. He has grown up listening to knight stories, and of course he wants to recreate the great deeds of the knights in the past.

As a devout believer and a follower in the footsteps of King Arthur, Richard also wanted to achieve something as great as finding the Holy Grail. At this moment, the Crusades were the best opportunity.

However, the young king did not know that the main force of another Crusade had encountered an unimaginable serious situation. The Holy Roman Alliance would not be able to hold on for long before they would retreat directly.

"Everyone, it's time for us to make great achievements and regain the Holy Land!! Follow me and achieve glory like King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table!"

In fact, this king, Richard the Lionheart, is indeed very similar to King Arthur. With the help of his mother, he became the king of England as a young king. At the same time, his younger brother was always waiting for the day to take away his throne.

Because of his brave and fearless fighting attitude, the soldiers all praised him and supported him. Xiao Yong's good fighting skills seemed to be the label of this young king.

At the same time, the title Lionheart was first spoken by bards during the Crusades. It is like having the heart of a lion and flowing with the blood of a lion. It is like a ferocious king beast that is invincible wherever it goes.

Because of the Crusades and the use of a very small number of troops to compete with Saladin, this king was considered to be on the path to glory. He was only 35 years old at this time.

The most similar thing to King Arthur is that after he reached glory, he soon walked towards a strange road.

While Richard was fighting on the front line, his younger brother launched a rebellion in the rear. Richard was eager to return home, but he felt that it was "difficult to travel".

At this time, Europe was already full of rumors against him. Not only was King Philip II of France willing to have him; the new Kaiser Henry VI also hated Richard; and Duke Leopold V of Austria even I hate him so much that this journey back can be regarded as the European version of the eighty-one difficulty.

After returning to England, the war did not stop. The continuous attacks by various countries on the mainland and the domestic rebellions made him exhausted. Finally, four years after returning to England, he died in putting down the internal rebellion.

To be precise, when he was suppressing the rebellion, he was shot in the left shoulder by an enemy soldier guarding the city, and eventually died of the infection.

Although he pardoned the soldier's sins before his death, the angry General Richard still sentenced the soldier to skinning.

Perhaps the young king had no idea at this moment that he would have such an experience in the future.

At this moment, he was directing the soldiers to quickly land ashore, while holding back his slight physical discomfort. The long-term market conditions and acclimatization made the young king suffer from sepsis.

It was also at this time that several black shadows quickly jumped out from the water, and the steel ropes in their hands were thrown towards the king along with the daggers.

They cooperated tacitly and attacked sharply. It was obvious that they were aiming to kill with one blow.

Richard pulled out his imitation holy sword from his waist, and flashed through the golden sword light. Several daggers were knocked aside. However, the assassins' attack did not stop there. The small crossbow arrows were shot directly from him by the assassins. The cloak was taken out from the shadows.

Chapter 92: Is this Richard the protagonist of a hot-blooded young comic?

These crossbow arrows have been specially improved, and the religious sect also spent a lot of effort to purchase improved blueprints from the far east. Although they are only a few fragments, these improved crossbow arrows still make them the most popular in the entire Western world. A rare high-end killer weapon.

Perhaps it was because of Ilan that the Old Man of the Mountains Order had temporarily picked up the art of organization that had been put aside for a long time, which made up for the lack of combat effectiveness of the order's assassins during this period.

But doing this also costs a lot of money. I'm afraid this won't last too long, but this is an emergency measure. Yan Zui doesn't want to spend most of the money on institutions for a long time. The old man in the mountains taught him. The group's financial focus has never been on institutions.

These small crossbow arrows were aimed directly at Richard. At the same time, he pulled the trigger, and the arrows coated with special paint and poison were launched. They were like dark shadows. The special paint painted on them swallowed up all the light. Fortunately, It was daytime at this moment. If it were at night, these crossbow arrows would be harder to detect.

Of course, Richard had heard of the reputation of the Old Man of the Mountain. Although this was the first time he faced an assassin from the Old Man of the Mountain Order, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. Looking at these crossbow arrows, Richard could not help but feel anxious for a moment. Know whether you should trust the armor on your body.

After all, you can't ignore anyone's attacks. He also learned from the legend of King Arthur. Gray, the Snow King, used his special attack methods to leave several Knights of the Round Table with wounds that they could not recover from for the rest of their lives. Hidden injury.

Richard quickly analyzed how to dodge all these attacks, even if he couldn't dodge them, he still had to minimize the damage.

It was also at this time that a white figure landed on the ship, waving his left hand forward, and the white cloth exuding sacred light unfolded forward. With the waving of his arm, all the crossbow arrows were blocked by this sacred light. In the end, this The white shawl-like existence quickly gathered back on his left arm and turned into a close-fitting leather armor.

This is the holy cloth, and the person who comes here is naturally Yilan.

Looking at the black skin of these assassins, Irlan immediately recognized that they were assassins from the Old Man of the Mountains. In recent times, the number of confrontations with the Old Man of the Mountain has become more and more frequent.

After seeing Irlan, the assassins of the Old Man of the Mountain looked at each other and couldn't help but have some thoughts of retreat. With Irlan's active activities these days, the assassins of the Old Man of the Mountain have basically already Knowing that the members of the Brotherhood operating here are, not surprisingly, the former iron-faced assassins of the sect.

And this once Iron Mask-level assassin has now established a brotherhood and is one of the few powerful assassins in the world. Perhaps no one can compete with him except Hassan.

At the same time, the Order has clearly issued instructions. If you encounter this person, you can choose to abandon the mission and return to the Order.

These assassins from the Old Man in the Mountain have already thought about retreating.

However, having just arrived in this land, Richard, who was in high spirits despite being ill, was not going to let these assassins go.

The knight rushed forward with a smile on his face. He didn't care much who was the person who suddenly appeared in front of him and helped him block the attack. But as long as he stood on the opposite side of these assassins who assassinated him, from a certain point To a certain extent, he is his ally.

The golden holy sword was swung directly at the assassins of the old man in the mountain. The golden light of the holy sword and the black of the cloak were constantly intertwined, and the sparks caused by the sound of metal collision were also flickering.

Richard's fighting posture was indeed like a wild beast, and he even ignored the ship he was on. After a while, there were already many potholes on the wooden deck. It can be said that these were all caused by Richard. Yes, those assassins of the old man in the mountains don't have this ability.

Faced with this situation, after all, this was a battle between Richard and the Old Man Assassins in the Mountain. Irlan could only try his best to ensure that both parties did not suffer too much losses.

However, when the assassins of the Old Man of the Mountain saw that they were beginning to decline, two assassins were smarter and rushed directly in the direction of Irlan.

Richard may not necessarily give them a way to survive, but Irlan can. After all, there is still a bit of compatriotism.

Irlan sighed softly and looked at the assassins rushing over. He reached out and grabbed their wrists, and then threw them into the sea with all his strength. As for whether they could escape, it depended on their lives. .

Of course, during this process, Yilan made a small move. He stuffed a letter into the arms of these assassins. Since he and Yan Zui maintained a tacit understanding, Yan Zui should be able to understand him this time.

No matter what happens, do not go to the battlefield during the future confrontation in Jerusalem. This is the minimum and minimum requirement.

For two people standing on opposite sides at this moment, the best choice is to not see the king. Otherwise, when the two people meet, fighting is basically inevitable due to their respective responsibilities.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Irlan looked at the figures of the assassins who disappeared into the water. He turned his head and looked at Richard I. In fact, the young king gently wiped his hair and looked at Irlan. He showed a bright smile.

Yilan looked at such a young king and took a deep breath. To be honest, he really couldn't adapt to this kind of social zodiac with an extremely enthusiastic smile on his familiar face!

Why in such a chaotic era, such a hot-blooded comic hero-like king would appear! According to my own information, this king just held a wedding not long ago, and he has already become your husband, and he is so out of touch... I don't understand it a little bit.

[I have to say that my first meeting with Richard really shocked me. I have never seen such an out-of-the-box king. 】

[It’s strange that Richard didn’t ask about my identity. He seemed to be enjoying a wonderful adventure. It seemed that his appearance was the only way for the adventure protagonist to collect companions. 】

[Perhaps it would be a good experience to be friends with such a character, but this kind of one-way character can easily offend other kings when it comes to a king...]

[Richard and I explained our purpose. From the beginning, it was stated that the relationship between the two was just cooperation. Richard was a little disapproving and didn't seem to take this matter seriously. As long as it can help them in the Crusade , that is a partner. 】

Chapter 93: Jerusalem will be glorious again!

[As I thought, although this king looks like a passionate idiot who hates politics, I have to say that he is indeed a genius general and a natural warrior. 】

[When Holy Rome lost their leader and the army began to disintegrate, the young king successfully raised the banner, and together with Philip II defeated Saladin's troops several times on the front line for the first time. 】

[After a long battle, the Crusaders are slowly advancing, and there are also several letters and visits between Richard and Saladin. 】

[Other than sympathy for each other, I can’t find any more adjectives for the feelings between these two people. 】

[Or maybe Saladin actually admires this kind of hot-blooded idiot more than the sickly young boy like Baldwin IV? 】

[Eventually the Crusaders and Saladin's forces began to stalemate in Jerusalem. 】

【This is also the opportunity I have been waiting for. 】

Ilan looked at the city wall of Jerusalem in front of him and was filled with emotion. The last time he saw this wall was under the rule of Baldwin IV many years ago, and now this city has become the place ruled by Saladin. It is a time when two soldiers meet.

There were originally many Muslims praying here in the Cathedral of Jerusalem. Soon, these Muslims were driven out of the cathedral by some people wearing strange and gorgeous clothes. The reason was that they were praying to Saladin for his victory. Allaah prayers.

The result was, of course, that it was easy to obtain the use of the cathedral for these people.

What could be more effective than directly raising the banner of God in this era?

Especially in this city with extremely fanatical religious beliefs, gods are always the best excuse.

The leader took out an exquisite tray from his arms. The tray was engraved with various prayer words and was also cushioned with exquisite silk. They spent a lot of money on this and got it from the caravan. Commissioned from a distant ancient country in the East, the silk has a pattern of God's seven days of creation.

The bottom of the tray is engraved with the Garden of Eden, surrounded by images of angels.

Naturally, what was placed on the tray was a golden apple. The apple was exuding a divine radiance, and this radiance was still expanding. People wearing strange clothes around began to silently chant songs, and along with the songs With the ups and downs, the brilliance exuded by Apple also began to change.

Everyone had a somewhat fanatical smile on their faces, and at the same time there was expectation in their hearts. Yes, this is how they will succeed. When they walked to the top of the church, when they displayed the Apple of Eden on Gods from heaven will cast light on them, and gods will come to the world again to guide people on the way forward.

And this era cannot allow God to exist forever. God will eventually return to heaven, and as people who have witnessed the arrival of God with their own eyes, they will rule the world as God's apostles and representatives of God. What Saladin? What Richard I? They will all become crawling existences under their feet, and from now on they will no longer be afraid of the royal power!

Does the Apple of Eden mean wisdom?

Yes, as long as you hold the Apple of Eden and consume concentrated magic power, your confusion can be answered. However, don’t forget the stories in myths and legends. Behind the glamor of this apple, there are also the temptations of snakes, hell and... The devil's eyes are watching all this quietly.

Therefore, this apple still has the power to confuse people's hearts. Perhaps it is because of the attachment to the image of the apple that it incorporates part of the mystery of the story of the Golden Apple of the Goddess of Discord. The power of bewitching changes depending on the strength of the magic power.

Using this apple is enough to turn a loyal believer in God into a bloodthirsty madman eager to enter hell.

However, although this Apple of Eden may lead people to hell, if used properly, it can also quickly attract a group of believers. But do the believers attracted in this way really sincerely offer their faith?

Well, these people don't care about that. All they need is to use this power to communicate with the gods in the sky, and to have huge faith when activating magic. Anyway, faith is just a consumable, and it doesn't matter whether it is passed on to God.

With this thought, the voices of these people chanting became even louder. The brilliance of the Apple of Eden shone through the windows from the cathedral to the city. All the Muslims who saw this brilliance knelt on the ground. Under this light, the gods seen by thousands of people have thousands of faces, and in the eyes of these believers, what they see is naturally the light of God.

Of course Allah and God are actually the same God.

It's amazing. Even though they believe in the same god, the two parties are at loggerheads.

Ilan can be sure that if the Crusade fails to capture Jerusalem this time, the Western countries will never give up the Crusade until one day all the betrothal gifts and faith will be exhausted. At that time, they will definitely It is people's own desires that exceed belief in gods.

Looking at the brilliance born in the church, some believers even shed tears. Since the death of Baldwin IV, the True Cross has disappeared, and only some holy relics of other saints are enshrined in Jerusalem. The whereabouts of the Holy Grail and Holy Spear It’s unclear, but now there is finally divine light coming. Does this prove that the holy objects related to the true God have reappeared in the world?

Thinking of the battle going on outside the city now, isn't this God's will?

Jerusalem has not been as bright as it is now for hundreds of years.

It was under such circumstances that Irlan came to the outskirts of the church. Listening to the singing inside the church, Irlan took a deep breath and directly opened the door of the church.

After seeing the current scene, Yilan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. If he didn't have these three holy objects in his hand, and they were the highest-level holy objects, I am afraid that he would also be affected by this light. Although it won't directly change your mind, it will definitely require you to devote more energy to fighting the voice in your head.

So out of this sentiment, Irlan said he would not kick the door open.

You should still have your most basic idea of ​​respecting the old and loving the young towards that old pigeon who bought and sold by force. Yes, this respect is based on your own idea of ​​respecting the old and loving the young. It is impossible to believe in anything~

But why is there always a relationship between a shameless old father and a rebellious and arrogant child.

He shook his head quickly and put the thoughts in his mind aside. He was really affected by the light of the apple. He actually thought about all these things. He must solve all of this as soon as possible.

Chapter 94: The road ahead is long and difficult
