"What I want to tell you next is that history does not exist in history, a legend that has never been told before."

"You just have to listen and remember it in your heart, and never spread them out unless death comes, or find a successor."

Lars Al Goul said to Merlin on the other side of the pool with a low and serious voice:

"You can listen to it as a story, but one day, you will know what I'm talking about."

"Then let's say it."

Meilin sat cross-legged on the other end of the pool. At this moment, the sons of the three palaces of the two eras and the rebellious sons of the two eras looked at each other, sharing their own stories and a inheritance that was about to be passed down.

"I'm listening."

Merlin spread her hands and said:

“But if the story isn’t great enough, I might fall asleep.”

The old assassin ignored Merlin's sarcasm. He stopped, as if he was organizing the language. After a few seconds, he spoke:

"Assassin is the oldest profession in human civilization. It represents a world that is dark, shadow, evil, and cannot be tolerated under the sun, but in the dark, there are also creeds about assassin in inheritors."

"We are not murderers, we are not killers, we are not creators of chaos. On the contrary, we are defenders. The justice we maintain and the most rational, and justice has nothing to do with us. What we want to maintain is to ensure that the survival of free will in human nature."

"Free."

Merlin interrupted:

"It's indeed the perfect excuse for doing bad things. By the way, was it because you set fire to most of London back then for freedom?"

"yes!"

Lars Al Goul said frankly:

"You only saw me burning London, but not the flames I ignited to stop the spread of the plague that could destroy the British Isles civilization. In a sense, I saved England."

"Typical robber logic."

Merlin commented, and the old assassin shrugged, he asked:

"A fire that burned the entire city killed only five people, but directly saved millions of lives and the inheritance of a country. Tell me, Merlin, what would you do if you held a torch in that situation?"

Merlin did not answer.

This is a question that needs no answer. If Merlin was there, he would also ignite the fire.

"Okay, don't mention these old things."

The old assassin waved his hand and said:

"I have indeed killed many people in my life. In the eyes of ordinary people, I am a butcher and a bad guy. I don't want to defend myself because I know very well that I am not a good person. In fact, every assassin should be mentally prepared. After all, what we do is to save it with killing."

"Continue telling the story."

Merlin is not tangled in this concept.

Right and wrong, good and evil, they often show extreme oppositions, and they should indeed be opposites. Right is right, wrong is wrong, good is good, and evil is evil.

Just like Fury's previous words scolded Merlin, bad things that do with kindness are still bad things. Bad things will not become good things because of your original intention of doing good things.

But that is for ordinary people. For a special profession like Merlin, the boundary between good and evil is actually not as obvious as it seems on the surface.

Of course, if you continue to worry about this, you will rise to the philosophical level, and leave the philosophical issues to philosophy. Merlin is here to listen to stories and find ways, not to discuss philosophy with Lars Al Goul.

"The origin of the Assassin League is an organization called the Brotherhood of Assassin."

Lars Al Goul whispered:

"And the origin of this organization can be traced back to 450 BC. When the Greek world resisted the attack of the Persian Empire, the assassins walking in the dark were gathered for the first time, fighting for their homeland and for the precarious form of civilization."

"The war ended with the victory of the Greek world, but when people praised the epic victory at Hot Spring Pass, no one noticed that Xerxes' death was the first time that the assassins used their own sword to bring peace to the world, and that was the beginning of the legend."

"bass"

Merlin raised his left hand, and the sleeve sword cast by the silver popped out of his cuff. He put the weapon in front of him and said to the old assassin:

"You're talking about this thing, right?"

"right!"

Lars Al Goul looked at the silver blade under Merlin's palm, and a light flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"You are indeed the heir to the assassin's inheritance of destiny. The sleeve sword in your hand is not something that ordinary assassins can wear. It is the symbol of the master."

"etc."

Merlin interrupted the old assassin and said:

"This thing does not belong to the assassin, in fact, it belongs to"

"Witchhunter, I know."

Master Ninja looked very tired. He rubbed his forehead and said in a hoarse voice:

"That is the weapon used by witch hunters to hunt aliens. I know the power of this weapon better than you. But what you don't know is that Merlin, the first witch hunter in history, was a member of the Assassin Brotherhood. That was the morale at the beginning of the Middle Ages. The monster dynasty established by the Xiake family had internal fission at that time, causing aliens to begin to actively destroy the rules."

"Faced with the human civilization forced by aliens, the assassins hidden in the darkness began to act again. They joined hands with wizards and sorcerers to promote the birth of the first batch of witch hunters, and the fighting style of witch hunters was also derived from the inheritance of the Assassin Brotherhood, which had been established for nearly 500 years at that time."

"In a sense, the witch hunter is also a special faction of the Assassin Brotherhood."

"Is this how?"

Merlin nodded. He did not deny this statement. When there was no evidence to support it, it was a very stupid act to rashly deny an internal logically self-consistent statement.

He glanced at the old assassin and said:

"I'm curious, where did you know these stories?"

“I know from ‘she’.”

The old assassin said frankly:

"That's something that makes me feel honored throughout my life. You must be curious about the identity of 'her'. What I can reveal to you is that 'she' once fought with the Assassin Master who held the first sling sword."

"etc."

Merlin interrupted the old assassin again, and he asked:

"You said that the first sneak sword appeared in 450 BC, which means that 'she' has lived for more than 2,400 years?"

"Yes."

Lars Al Goul said softly:

"She is the inheritor, the recorder, the guardian, the observer. She is still alive and will continue to live until the moment her divine mission ends. You will meet her, Merlin, which is destined, just sooner or later."

"Keep all your questions about 'her', and one day she will appear in front of you and answer all this for you."

“The last question.”

Merlin raised his finger and asked seriously:

"What's her name?"

The old assassin was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Cassandra, her name is Cassandra, and she is a demigod."

"Demigod? Perseus, Heglis?"

Merlin narrowed her eyes and the old assassin said seriously:

"Yes, the real demigod. Of course, her father was not Zeus, but legend has it that she has indeed met Hades and Poseidon and beat them up."

"Do you really believe it?"

Merlin asked:

"This story is becoming more and more fantastic, so fantasy that I feel that you have been infected by the power of the Three Palace Demons."

"Haha, if you can accept the existence of the Three Palace Demon."

Lars Al Goul asked:

"Then why can't we accept the existence of a demigod? What's more, if it weren't a demigod, would you think an ordinary person can help me get rid of the demons of the third palace? Do you know how strong the third palace is at the level of the hell monarch?"

"Okay, I won't ask."

Merlin, who was unable to speak after being questioned by the old assassin, waved his hand decisively, and said to the ninja master:

"You keep talking."

"The existence of the Assassin Brotherhood runs through every era of human civilization."

"They exist in all the major events you can imagine, from the Roman era to the sudden death of Qin Shihuang, from the Middle Ages to the collapse of the Mongol Empire, from the Italian Renaissance to the American South American War, from the Industrial Revolution to the Second World War, we have been hiding, never really existed, at least in history."

The old assassin described the magnificent history of the organization in a brief tone, and he said to Merlin:

"But an ancient organization will also have equally ancient enemies, but our enemies are actually not bad people in the traditional sense."

"We defend our will to freedom, because freedom allows the continuous development of wisdom and the growth of each independent life's personality, which is how we keep the world forward. And our opponents also want the world to be better, but unfortunately, they fight for power by controlling their free will to build a dictatorial world."

"I heard Talia say that you were curious about why I rejected the kindness handed over by Hydra, in addition to the vicious style of the organization, there is actually another important reason."

Lars Al Goul said in a serious tone:

"The Hydra's heritage is equally ancient, and its origins can be traced back to the 6th century AD and even earlier, and from the moment it was born, it was one of the greatest enemies of the Assassin Brotherhood."

"In that era, a group of assassins united and exiled the first leaders of Hydra, but failed to completely defeat them. Hydra's creed was the will to kill freedom. What they longed to build was an absolutely dictatorial 'new world'. Hitler during World War II was just a representative of this dangerous idea."

"The worst thing is that the enemy of the Assassin Brotherhood is not the only one Hydra. After discovering that they cannot defeat the Brotherhood themselves, they united."

The old assassin's tone became low:

"For the 200 years between the 19th and 20th centuries, the Assassin Brotherhood suffered constant blows, forcing our predecessors to move into deeper shadows. The brotherhood's open inheritance was also cut off at that time, and I was knowing these things from Cassandra, and with her help, freed from the tragic fate given to me by the Three Palaces, and the moment I joined the Brotherhood."

"I took this responsibility."

"No matter what I do, whether it is good or bad, I have never forgotten the oath I made before the name of the Assassin Master."

“We walk in the darkness and serve the light.”

"We are the ghosts that do not exist, the morning light that blows the practice, and brings the messengers of death."

"We use killing to save disasters and defend freedom with our sleeve sword."

"We are assassins"

There was a glimmer of light in Lars Al Goul's eyes. He recited his former vows, and he said:

"I have witnessed the decline of the Brotherhood with my own eyes. I have tried to turn the tide, but I failed. Their power to unite is too great, and we can only choose to disappear. No one forced me, and no one asked me, but the Assassin Alliance I formed has been persisting until now."

"It's a pity that I can't hold on anymore. Slade saw through my weakness. He launched an attack at this time, just because he was sure that I could no longer fight back."

"Indeed, I'm too old and I'm out of my mind."

The old assassin said to Merlin:

"The Assassin Alliance I established, this is the last faction belonging to the Assassin Brotherhood that is still maintaining normal activities."

"After me, the flames of this last faction will be extinguished, and Talia, Demian, Slade, and even Bruce cannot understand the meaning of this inheritance. This does not mean that they are stupid, it can only be said that they have never been exposed to our world, and they cannot imagine the scale of this war that spans history and time."

"From today on the way, the assassins will truly be in the darkness. Those evils will think they have won, but they will never really win!"

"Merlin, I handed over the Assassin League to my loved ones, and I will hand over this responsibility and inheritance to you."

He said to Merlin:

"Take this inheritance, accept your destiny, and become a member of the Brotherhood to rise again with it."

"In return, I will tell you how to get rid of the Three Houses."
