Lin, who unintentionally said something like a tiger or a wolf, was punished by Lu Xiao. She covered her forehead that was hit by a finger and let out a sob.
"What are you doing!"
Lu Xiao ignored the grinning Lin, hesitated under the expectant gazes of others, and finally took off the black hood that he almost never left his body.
Da Vinci originally thought that the face under the hood would be a typical Western face, but the facts were quite different from her guess.
Although Lu Xiao's facial features are relatively three-dimensional, no one would mistake him for a Westerner.
"you……"
Da Vinci's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he suddenly hammered his palm: "I remember, aren't you the protagonist of my painting? What's the name of the painting?"
Compared with the Tosaka sisters who grew up in a mansion, Kariya, who has long been integrated into the secular world, has a better understanding of world-famous paintings and other artworks.
After receiving Da Vinci's prompt, he quickly dug out the relevant information from his memory.
"Farewell to my best friend?"
"Yes, it's him!"
Da Vinci circled Lu Xiao very curiously, his eyes full of scrutiny: "I am deeply impressed by most of my works, but that painting has always puzzled me."
"When and what mood drove me to complete that painting? Who is the 'best friend' in the painting? This question has troubled me for countless years."
Due to Lu Xiao's uniqueness in all worlds, the paintings left by Leonardo da Vinci in the Assassin's Creed world have spread to all worlds.
Da Vinci in other worlds will obviously not have the memory of getting along with Lu Xiao, and the heroic spirit Da Vinci in front of him who used the image of Mona Lisa to come is no exception.
At this moment, she was locking eyes with Lu Xiao with eyes full of curiosity, hoping to get the exact answer from him.
Lu Xiao scratched his head helplessly: "This question is not important. If you are interested, wait until the Holy Grail War is over..."
"no!"
Leonardo da Vinci put his hands on his hips and raised his chest in the shape of a teapot: "When inspiration comes from genius, there is no room for waiting. If I don't know the answer to this question, I won't be able to concentrate on other things!"
'It's really troublesome.'
Lu Xiao didn't know how to explain this matter in a more reasonable way. After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "Caster, have you heard of the Assassin sect?"
Da Vinci: "Of course I have heard of it. It was a group of assassins active in northern Persia during the Middle Ages. The word assassin comes from this assassin sect."
"I heard that the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City is also related to the Assassin sect. The orthodox assassins summoned by each generation of the Holy Grail War will only be heroic spirits within the sect."
"That's right."
Lu Xiao shrugged and said: "I am also a member of the Assassin sect of all generations, but my active era was not the Middle Ages, Persia, or even the entire Middle East, but Italy during the Renaissance."
"It was in Florence, the City of Flowers, that I met 'you', but perhaps because of the parallel world, you here did not retain the relevant memories."
"ah……"
Hearing Lu Xiao's explanation, Rin suddenly exclaimed subconsciously. When other people's attention turned to her, Rin immediately covered her mouth with both hands.
Da Vinci frowned and retorted: "Well... Let's not mention the parallel world. It is strange that members of the Assassin sect can continue until the Renaissance."
"As far as I know, the Assassin sect was destroyed by Genghis Khan's grandson Hulagu during the Mongolian Western Expedition in the 13th century."
"Although there were some sporadic records of activities in various parts of the Middle East afterwards, they have never happened since then, which is very different from what you described."
Lu Xiao said nonchalantly: "The cult's stronghold in the Middle East was indeed uprooted by Hulagu, but the secret resistance never stopped. Otherwise, how do you think Hulagu died?"
"Although the long-lasting Crusades brought great harm to both warring parties, through this war, the cultural exchanges between the East and the West were further deepened."
"The ideas of the Assassin sect spread from the Middle East and gradually affected the entire Europe. As a result, the core ideas of the sect have been able to survive from generation to generation."
"is that so?"
Although Da Vinci felt that something was wrong, from a logical perspective, Lu Xiao's analysis could not find any major loopholes for the time being.
There are also parallel worlds in Xingyue's worldview.
The gem master who mastered the second method, Jishua Zelrich Shibain Ogu, known as the Demon Marshal, can freely travel to parallel worlds, and use the gem sword to absorb endless magic power from each world.
Although Lu Xiao's explanation did not completely dispel Da Vinci's doubts, he barely convinced her with the explanation of the parallel world.
Lin, who was listening silently, recalled the dream he had had before, and looked at Lu Xiao with twinkling eyes.
'A member of the Renaissance Assassin Order, or is that really all there is to it?'
…
With Caster almost stepping out of the gate and being summoned, the Fourth Holy Grail War finally officially started after 0 o'clock that day.
Due to Lu Xiao's intervention, the originally planned plot inevitably changed. It was impossible for Tokiomi Tosaka to let Kotomine Kirei, who holds the berserker, cooperate with him in a crappy stage play.
Lu Xiao originally thought that the first night would be spent relatively peacefully, but one of the masters who was eager to show off himself couldn't wait to let his followers challenge everyone on the first night.
Clear fighting spirit came from the port area in the north of Xindu, and all the heroic spirits participating in the battle could clearly feel the opponent's intention to invite war.
Da Vinci was not the kind of knight who would honestly respond to a request for a battle. She had no interest in the fighting spirit coming from the port area.
Since arriving at Lu Xiao's temporary magic workshop, Leonardo da Vinci took out a lot of strange tools to further optimize and transform the workshop designed by Lu Xiao.
"Hmm~ Runes? I'm also very interested in this magic system from Northern Europe."
"Unfortunately, many of the runes of the Renaissance have been lost. They have been barely completed through the research and innovation of later generations. There are many gaps in them. Let's discuss them carefully if we have the opportunity."
"Haha~" Lu Xiaopi said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we have time."
"Caster, you stay in the workshop to continue optimizing the defense system, and by the way, make some more convenient magic tools so that our little master can use magic to activate them easily."
"The guy who invited the battle should attract many heroic spirits to watch, and some may even show up directly to join the battle. I will go to the port area to check the situation and try to bring back detailed information on the other four servants except Rider."
"No problem, just be careful along the way~"
Seeing Da Vinci's deliberately cute blowing kiss, Lu Xiao felt a chill all over her body.
'Leonardo, you won't be affected by your body's instinct and forget your original gender...'
…
Northeastern Fuyuki City, Shinto Port Area.
Lu Xiao did not choose the Weiyuan Bridge as the observation point like Rider, but stood on the top of a building in the downtown area of Xindu and looked into the distance.
The A-level Eagle Eye contains the function of clairvoyance, and Lu Xiao can clearly see the situation in the port area from this position.
With his sharp vision like a falcon, Lu Xiao can capture the heroic spirits hiding near the port area even in the dark.
‘Rider and his master are at the top of the Weiyuan Bridge, berserker has taken the form of a spirit and is hiding in the gap between the containers at the port, and archer...is indeed on the street lamp.'
Excluding Caster and Assassin from Lu Xiao's camp, the only remaining heroic spirits are Lancer and Saber.
Contrary to Lu Xiao's expectation, the person standing in the center of the port exuding strong fighting spirit was not a lancer holding two guns, but a male swordsman standing with a sword in his hand.
Scanning the familiar handsome face of the other party through his eagle eyes, Lu Xiao felt half a headache, and half touched his chin with joy.
