Facing the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in strange clothes and holding a chubby orange cat, the last inheritors of the Brotherhood who came to take refuge in the cave were obviously nervous.
Although they are weak, they strictly follow the inheritance of the Brotherhood. They move in the shadows, keep as low as possible, relying on the wisdom and gifts of their ancestors to fight against difficult enemies.
However, this mysterious guy in front of me still doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend.
"Who are you?"
Layla, who holds a broken spear and has the characteristics of a female Middle Eastern organization, looked at Merlin with vigilance, and asked:
"How did you show up here?"
"Answer my question first."
Merlin said in a cold tone:
"Is it true that you claim to be the last inheritors of the Brotherhood of Assassin?"
"yes."
Beside Layla, the man holding a dagger said:
"We are! What about you? Who are you?"
"Oh, that's a coincidence."
Merlin raised his left arm, accompanied by the crisp sound of the machine spring, the Holy Silver Sword engraved with the magic spell popped up, he said:
"I am also a member of the Brotherhood in theory. Why haven't I seen you, let alone heard of you?"
"this"
Layla and the man named Miles looked at the huejian under Merlin's palm with a little dullness. They had seen this huejian style in their past memories. There is no doubt that this is the inheritance of the Brotherhood. Although the huejian is slightly different from what they think, it is still a product of the same lineage.
But the problem is, just as Merlin didn't know their existence, they didn't know Merlin's existence either.
They always thought that the older generation of assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood had completely withered under the pursuit of Abstergo's forces, and only the group of rookies left in the world was helpless and powerful Abstergo.
And now, a person who is suspected to be a real assassin appears in front of them.
"Buzz"
As the two of them hesitated, Meilin's figure suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it had already arrived behind the two people. A girl with short golden hair and a little panicked due to the sudden situation was standing there stiffly. Meilin was standing behind her, with the sharp sleeve sword pressing against the girl's neck.
Just a light stroke, this girl with a melon-shaped face will die.
"Victoria!"
Layla shouted in shock and angrily. She raised her broken spear and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Miles beside her.
"We can't deal with him."
Miles lowered his voice and said to Layla:
"Even in the memory of our ancestors, I have never seen this way of moving. Leila, we may be facing a legendary 'saint', a true immortal, who is not bound by the rules of the world, and their style of doing things is very imaginative, so don't anger him."
"You two should know"
Merlin said in a playful tone while stroking the cheek of the golden girl who was held hostage:
"Even if you lower your voice, I can hear you talking, right?"
"Ahem"
Miles coughed awkwardly, and he reached out and threw the dagger to the ground, saying to Merlin:
"We have no malice"
"I don't care."
Merlin said:
"It doesn't matter whether you have malice or not. With your strength, you can't hurt me."
"What I'm interested in is what you are in your mind, what you are talking about 'ances memory', and what you are now, what you are talking about the current situation of the Brotherhood, say it all. If you are honest enough, then this little girl will be safe and sound."
As he spoke, he whispered in the ear of Victoria, who was held hostage by him:
"Relax, Victoria, your heart beats very fast, you are very scared, if you continue like this, you will be defeated by fear. Listen to me, girl, relax and relax."
Under the induced temptation of Merlin with spiritual suggestion, poor Miss Victoria's breathing became smoother little by little, but her eyes became more and more dazed.
"The Brotherhood of Assassin has withered."
Myers and Layla looked at each other, and in the deep darkness he replied to Merlin, under the fluorescent lights they brought,
"At least we know this is the news. Three years ago, in 2000, Abstergo used the method of cutting off firewood from the cauldron to create a betrayal and massacre in the last brotherhood. The only few masters of the assassin died in the battle. The entire stronghold was destroyed. It is believed that the Templars successfully carried out the last blow to the Brotherhood in thousands of years of struggle."
"Since then, the Brotherhood has completely disappeared. A few of us, except me, are not the true inheritors of the Brotherhood. We gathered together because of Abstergo and learned from our enemies the significance of the Brotherhood's existence, so we united, and if the Brotherhood really dies, we will rebuild it."
"Just you guys?"
Merlin looked at the two people in front of him with a suspicious look. This scrutiny and suspicious look made Miles and Layla feel a little ashamed, but Layla continued:
"We are indeed very weak now. Faced with Abstergo's pursuit like a mad dog, we can only keep avoiding it, but we will not be so weak all the time. We have found the Spear of Leonidas. With this ancient artifact, we can return to the era when the Brotherhood was originally established, and then we will learn knowledge from our ancestors and regain our strength."
"Oh sounds like a cult group worshipped by ancestors."
Merlin said in a playful tone:
"That spear, which you see as the spear of hope for revival, is in your hands, right? Give it to me!"
Merlin lowered his sword and pushed Victoria in his arms towards Layla, he said:
"let me see."
Layla hesitated, but seeing Victoria returning to them was obviously confused by some force in her mind, which was a force they had no idea about, leaving Layla with no choice.
"Give it to him, Layla."
Myers said:
"If he had really been malicious, we would have died long ago. He could find this, it means that he really had something to do with his brother."
"good."
Layla gritted her teeth, she nodded, stepped forward a few steps, and handed the broken spear in her hand to Merlin, she said:
"This is what I discovered on Andros, and I got key information from the note left by the ancient Greek scholar Herodotus. This is a magical tool, no doubt."
"Art? No, kid."
Merlin took the cold broken spear and said to Layla:
"The artifact is not like this. It's just a, well, ancient weapon."
"No, it's indeed a magical artifact."
A woman's voice sounded behind Merlin. At the moment when this sound appeared, Merlin felt that the time around him had paused. In front of him, Layla still maintained that reluctant and vigilant expression, maintaining the delivery movement.
Myers and Victoria's expressions and bodies were also frozen in time.
"Oh, the Lord is here."
Merlin is not afraid of the character who suddenly appears behind him and is suspected to be able to control time.
In this state of stopping, the special feeling of releasing the ancient body curse surges into my heart again, which means that Merlin can easily release the ancient body again in this state.
With super-level magic as the foundation, even if you can't beat it, Merlin is confident that she can evacuate safely, not to mention Gugu, who is hiding in the dark.
He turned around and looked at the person behind him.
Surprisingly, behind him was a very young lady, who at least looked very young on the surface.
She was wearing a white shirt, a gray plush blazer, a slim-fitting ladies' trousers, a pair of clean leather shoes, and her hands were inserted into her pockets, which looked chic, but her eyes were shining with a weather-beaten look, which was a look that could only be seen on the elderly.
The most peculiar thing is that her hair, a long black hair mixed with gray, was braided into a braid that tilted to the left, hanging down on her chest, looking a bit more feminine to her.
"In the hands of the real successor, the Spear of Leonidas will show its true power."
The uninvited lady stood 5 meters away from Merlin. She looked at Merlin. After a moment, she nodded and said:
"The person Geralt has found this time is pretty good, at least on the surface, you remind me of those heroes in ancient Greek legends. Remove this ugly mask and let me see your face."
"Miss."
Merlin's fingers were wielding, and Beowulf obediently removed the disguise. Merlin's face was exposed to the lady who was suspected of being a demigod, and he whispered:
"Maybe, you should introduce yourself."
"Okay, there's nothing to say."
The lady looked at the scene around the cave with a nostalgic expression, and she reached out to touch the broken sculpture, and she said:
"My name is Casandra, you can understand it as, I am the origin of the Brotherhood, the first assassin in the true sense of human history. What you hold is the weapon I have used. And Leonidas is my grandfather."
"Leonidas at Hot Springs? The King of 300 Warriors?"
Merlin looked at the strangely broken spear in his hand, and he looked at Casandra again, saying:
"It sounds like an unbelievable myth. Am I talking to a lady who came out of the myth?"
"It's almost the same."
Cassandra said calmly:
"In the past, I did see Hades, Poseidon, and the legendary people of Heglis, Achilles and Perseus. They are legends to you, but to me."
"It's just a defeated man."
"Are you a demigod?"
Merlin could feel that the lady in front of him was not lying, he asked softly:
"You are Zeus' daughter?"
"No, I'm not."
Cassandra said with disgust:
"That God who is in heat all the time has nothing to do with me. If you have to say something, I, Him and his brothers and descendants are enemies, and my hands are covered with the blood of the monsters they have created. My life, I mean, a large part of my real life is dealing with the troubles they have left behind."
"Oh, by the way, what I want to tell you is, don't treat them as gods, they are just a group of aliens who are stronger and more advanced than humans."
"Oh, this answer is not what I expected."
Merlin said in a relaxed tone:
"The gods of the Nordic gods are also a group of aliens. It is not surprising that the gods of Greek mythology are aliens."
Merlin looked at Casandra, and he took out the box with the keys from his pocket, and he said:
"You commissioned Master Geralt to hand this over to me, and you put the badge of the Brotherhood on the head of the Bruce's bed, right? These young people told me that the real Brotherhood had been destroyed three years ago, so you are the last master of the Brotherhood?"
"Yes, it's me."
Cassandra sighed, and she said in disappointment:
"I had hoped that Bruce Wayne, who was very similar to the masters of assassinship in history, could bring these young people to rebuild the fraternity, but to my disappointment, that young man Bruce refused my invitation."
"He rushed to Rome thousands of miles to say 'no' to me."
"What an interesting and characterful young man. I like him very much. Unfortunately, he is destined not to become a real assassin."
“As expected.”
Merlin nodded and said:
"If he agreed, that would surprise me. He was such a yes, stubborn person."
“But luckily, I have a new choice.”
Cassandra looked at Merlin, she moved her shoulders and said to Merlin:
"Before I came, I heard about what happened to your girlfriend Elsa from Chiri. It's a pity, but I have some methods to ensure that Elsa's will will not be defeated by that tricky magic, and can make her persist for longer under the invasion of white frost. I'll help her, you help me, how about it?"
When Merlin's expression became serious when he heard about Elsa, he looked at the demigod in front of him, and after a moment, he said:
"What did you ask me to do for you?"
"It's very simple, these young people have a common enemy with you, Merlin."
Casandra stared at Merlin and said:
Chapter completed!
