Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Seeing the team of G.o.dly palace knights, Elina who climbed to the highest point of the roof s.h.i.+vered and almost fell to the ground.
However, she froze when everyone around her fiercely shouted that they were all a.s.sa.s.sins.
Knight Captain Gla.s.s, who was wearing the G.o.dly palace armor also froze.
“How come there are so many a.s.sa.s.sins!?”
“Mr. Gla.s.s, what should we do now?!” one knight asked in a low voice.
“…”
…
“d.a.m.n it!” While leaving the Mercenary Union, Gla.s.s looked gloomy.
As the captain of the local G.o.dly palace knight legion, he was responsible for catching the escaped a.s.sa.s.sins.
Despite the many privileges they enjoyed, the priests and missionaries who were here to spread their religion didn’t have the right to ignore the local laws.
The law of this empire didn’t allow him to arrest anyone who lied and claimed to be a.s.sa.s.sins since it wasn’t a crime. If there had been only a couple of imposters, Gla.s.s would have arrested them and beaten them senseless. But with so many people saying that they were a.s.sa.s.sins, it wasn’t easy to handle.
“d.a.m.n it!” He slammed his fist onto the wall. “I should have arrested all those reckless people! If they didn’t blur the situation and stall for time, I would have found those a.s.sa.s.sins!”
“The senior level officials warned us to keep low for a while because the previous war has greatly damaged our reputation in different empires and nations!” Behind him, a senior priest in a red robe walked up slowly.
“I think someone is working against us!” Gla.s.s said in a cold voice, “I will find him and catch him!”
“I hope you won’t do that, Mr. Gla.s.s.” The red-robed senior priest said coldly, “If it were one month ago, you might be able to do that. But now, it’s impossible.”
“Why?!” Gla.s.s said coldly, “This man must be harboring the a.s.sa.s.sins and accomplices!”
“You’d better go out and look around instead of sitting here and complaining, Mr. Gla.s.s.” The red-robed priest said mildly, “Many aristocrats and even elves are cultivating in that shop. Mr. Luther will soon set out to Silver Moon Forest, which means that we must be on friendly terms with the elves. Don’t do anything to disturb the plan!
“If you disturb that lord’s plan, you wouldn’t be able to make up for it even with ten of your lives!” the red-robed priest said with a sneer.
“Then, should we just sit and watch?!” Gla.s.s asked in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry. These a.s.sa.s.sins are weak,” the red-robed senior priest said indifferently, “In the new mystical realm, we put special efforts in the promotion of anti-a.s.sa.s.sinations. We’ll tell the world that the a.s.sa.s.sins are just a joke to us! I believe the aristocrats will make the right choice!”
“Besides, Mr. Luther will bring along the new mystical realm made by the Dulan Workshop when he visits the Elf Clan. We’ll take this opportunity to promote it more. I think even the elves will be amazed by this mystical realm.
“Mr. Luther will let any elf try it out. They can even choose to play as a.s.sa.s.sins to check the effectiveness of this realm.” He chuckled. “If we’re lucky, we might be able to apply for a precious Spiritual Spell Visual Projection and use it to promote.”
“I can’t wait to watch the elves’ astonished faces!” Gla.s.s sneered.
…
When the morning sunlight s.h.i.+ned into the shop, another day filled with hope began.
At this moment, some elves had just entered Origins Internet Café, hoping that a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed: Brotherhood would be released soon.
“I wonder when the shop owner will release a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed: Brotherhood.” By now, even Elf Girl Sala had finished a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed 1, let alone other masters.
Of course, Sala’s combat techniques were not bad, and her strength had reached level 6. Her progress in the game was faster than ordinary mercenaries.
As for Commander Elven and the elite a.s.sa.s.sins such as Elina and Harrison, they had begun playing the game for the second time with a higher difficulty level a few days ago.
Then, she saw the words on the small blackboard – [a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed: Brotherhood]
“Ya-! It’s released!?” Elf Girl Sala stared at the small blackboard in pleasant surprise. “The sly shop owner has a conscience after all!”
As she did each day, she sat down on a chair close to the street. She liked the unique design of the shop. Pulling open the curtains, she looked to the left and could see the prosperous street through the gla.s.s wall.
The unique layout inside the shop gave people the illusion that they had entered another world. But pulling open the curtains and looking outside, people could see the garden-like city of white walls and red tiles fraught with bustling mercenaries, carriages driven by aristocrats, and patrolling knights. She enjoyed the sight very much.
Lounging on the wide leather computer chair, Sala sipped the delicious milk tea. Together with other elves, she paid with the remaining crystals deposited in her members.h.i.+p card and activated the new game – a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed: Brotherhood.
Eagerly, she clicked on the icon to start the game and put on the virtual reality headset.
As the first game in the series, a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed 1 used the 1.28 version Animus which had limited functions. It told a story about Master a.s.sa.s.sin Altair who went through all kinds of hards.h.i.+ps and finally understood the true meaning of a.s.sa.s.sin’s creed.
a.s.sa.s.sin’s Creed: Brotherhood told the story of another master a.s.sa.s.sin named Ezio during his prime. In this game, the players could do many more things such as training in virtual reality, playing online with other players, training junior a.s.sa.s.sins, and doing multi-player missions.
After the flas.h.i.+ng logo of Ubisoft, Sala soon found herself back in the lab, still playing as that man named Desmond.
The scene was gray, which showed that he was recalling something. “I thought no one would wake up and find himself caught in the fight between two big secret organizations.”
“I don’t want this, but it still happened to me…”
As the narrator, Desmond gave a brief introduction of the story.
In the 1930’s, the modern-day Templar created a mysterious machine in Norway in the disguise of German’s nucleus weapon program. With knowledge acquired from the Apple of Eden, this machine was created to retrieve memories of the ancestors of humans.
Desmond had been a member of the modern Brotherhood of a.s.sa.s.sins. A while ago, a templar knight found him and forced him to enter Animus, trying to find the Pieces of Eden from his ancestor’s memories.
