24. Knights Templar
The Assassin Alliance headquarters on Tiber Island does not have the No. 3 Apple Eden.
Yes.
This is the record in Sloan's notebook. According to the above records, the fragments of Eden No. 3 that have been in Baker's hands are actually fragments controlled by the Assassin Alliance headquarters.
This was a bit beyond Baker's expectations.
Because, if only this little bit of fragments remain on Tiber Island, then why didn’t you find a way to retrieve them after being taken away by Sloan?
This is unscientific.
And it is not in line with the law that has always regarded protecting the Apple of Eden as a major responsibility.
That's what Baker thought at first.
Soon, the answer to this matter was explained in the diary recorded in Sloan's notebook.
To be honest.
Sloan is not only an obsessive-compulsive disorder, but also a diary maniac. This is somewhat confusing to Baker, but it is puzzling. This electronic diary is quite useful to Baker.
In 1957, this was also the year when the 18-year-old Sloan saw his name appear on the Loom of Destiny and defected from Tiber Island.
After Sloan came to New York, the Assassin League sent people here. At that time, Sloan hid in a basement in Queens, New York and did not go out.
By 1960, all of a sudden, the people in the Assassin League seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
At first, Sloan was also puzzled, but after Sloan finished several orders and made some money, he learned some news.
turn out to be.
In 1959, because the Assassin League was fully dispatched to find Sloan, the island of Tiber, which was very fragile internally, was invaded by the Templars, who had been hostile to each other hundreds of years ago.
even.
The assassins who came to New York also encountered ambush in the temple. The older generation of assassins who knew what Sloan had stolen were all destroyed.
The Assassin League was also severely damaged due to this.
After communicating, the only few remaining assassins planned to cancel their wanted arrest for Sloan.
The reason is very simple.
No matter how Sloan defected, he was also an assassin. Their disgust for the Templars was written in the heritage. If the Templars’ target was them, then as long as they could not get the Apple of Eden, it would not matter even if Tiber Island fell.
Sloan was let go in a confused manner, and then lived happily until now, until he was sent to the cross, whose faith was simple, by the cross, father and son, who were sent to the path of no return due to fraud.
so……
This explains why the Assassin League ordered the Assassin to capture Wesley alive. I think they should have searched at the textile factory, and then the Assassin League, who did not find the fragments of the Eden Apple, believed that Wesley got it.
In order not to attract the attention of others, or to paralyze the Templars who have now taken root in the Federation, even if the Assassin Alliance is in a hurry, it has not sent assassins to come and chose to offer a reward.
All right.
It is precisely for this reason that Baker really has no intention of killing Wesley.
I had already decided to turn the blame on Wesley, so I couldn't take the blame back for a while for a while.
Baker walked to the bar counter, ordered a Borbon, looked at the time, and was about to wait for the intelligence seller to come.
Just then.
Baker heard the conversation between the two assassins next to him.
At first, Baker didn't care, but when the assassin said something, Baker entered the venue and interrupted.
"Sorry, I'll bother you."
Baker said to the Mexican assassin who was telling his companion about what happened at Kendine International Airport in New York: "You just said that there was a move on Tiber Island?"
The Mexican looked up at Baker who was making a sound, and looked at Baker's unremarkable face for a while and then asked uncertainly: "hero?"
Baker nodded.
As Baker said before, he has a little reputation in the assassin industry, on the one hand, because of Beck's independent principle, and on the other hand, because of Beck's independent order-taking area.
After confirming his identity, the Mexican assassin said: "Yes, it should be someone from Tiber Island. The airport surveillance shows that a medieval dressed assassin was once captured at the door of the toilet."
"Video surveillance?" Baker asked, wrinkling, "Are you sure?"
The Mexican took out his cell phone, called out a video copied from the airport surveillance and handed it to Baker.
After reading it, Baker said thank you to the Mexican assassin and returned to his seat.
There was indeed a medieval figure dressed in a red and white robe on the video surveillance just now.
But Baker is sure that this is not an assassin of the Assassin League.
Organizations that have been passed down for many years, for hundreds or even thousands of years have more or less their own unique abilities.
This is even more true for the ancestors of the Assassin World, the Assassin Alliance.
Hawkeye.
Bullet turn.
The leap of faith.
These three abilities that can be called bug-like are the signature skills of the Assassin League, or the exclusive skills of the three halls of the Assassin League.
For example, Callum Lynch in the history of the Assassin League was the assassin who integrated Hawkeye and Leap of Faith and became the front of the league.
Sloan also learned to turn bullets during the Assassin League time.
Of course.
In addition to the ability of these three bugs, which are considered inherited skills, there is another ability that people in the Assassin Alliance must learn.
That is, all assassins in the Assassin League must also learn how to hide their own things in full view of everyone.
Let's say so.
After practicing this hidden skill, even if you are alone with another person, even if you are given ten days, he will not find that you are there.
Well……
The skill effect is similar to the kind of effect of the male protagonist in a Korean movie "Empty Room" story. You can't even notice it when you live at your home, have dinner with you, and have dates with your wife.
Of course.
That effect will be the effect after great success. In the history of the Assassin League, the only one who has mastered this skill to great success was the legendary Assassin Callum Lynch. No one can practice it to this level now.
but……
Even if you cannot achieve the perfect invisibility effect, it is still possible to avoid the camera.
Then the question arises.
If the Tiber Island Assassin appears on the camera, then who will be the person who disguises himself as this?
The answer is clear at a glance.
There is no one else except the Templars who have been hostile to the Assassin Alliance for thousands of years.
Such a coincidence.
Baker knew it in his heart, because he came here today to come to the Templar information. To be precise, he bought a copy of the shadow company under the Templar name.
Just then.
"Harrow, Malton!"
Baker came back to his senses and turned around to look at the person who called out.
Smile slightly.
"Harrow, the Red Devil!"
Chapter completed!
