As a person who controls time to a certain extent, Lu Xiao has always believed that the concept of predetermined destiny is very mysterious, and there is no need to believe in it.
Another way to understand the word curse is that it can be translated as King Hassan only kills those who deserve to be killed.
But who should be beheaded and who should not be beheaded was completely decided by King Hassan himself, and outsiders could not force him.
As early as when the system announced the name of the new world, Lu Xiao began to speculate on Alaya's intention of throwing him into the Sixth Lostbelt.
The Assassin Order was one of the possibilities he guessed.
As the founder of the Assassin Order and the first generation Hassan, if Lu Xiao is really connected with the Assassin Order, there is a high probability that it will be related to Wang Hassan.
It's not that Lu Xiao looks down on the other 18 generations of Hassan, but compared to Wang Hassan, their strength can be described as worlds apart.
The Order of Assassin has a rule.
If the contemporary Hassan goes to the Bell Temple to ask for help from the original generation, it means that he is unable to shoulder the responsibility represented by the name Hassan Sabah.
King Hassan will help according to the request of contemporary Hassan, but the price is that he will chop off this Hassan's head as punishment.
For this reason, King Hassan is also known as Hassan the Killer of Hassan.
The cursed wrist is the contemporary Hassan of the Sixth Singularity. Unless he has to, he will not take the initiative to go to the Wanzhong Temple to seek death.
Out of good intentions, he reminded Lu Xiao a few words, and seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, Curse Wan stopped persuading him.
The alliance with the people of the mountain has been formally reached, and the tasks have been assigned. All that needs to be done next is to act according to the plan.
Fujimaru and Mashu drove the all-terrain vehicle made by Leonardo da Vinci and headed south first, heading to the desert to try to persuade Ramses II to fight against the Lion King.
Leonardo da Vinci stayed in the village, searching for information with Romani and studying how to solve the problem of food shortage.
Lu Xiao also said goodbye to Curse Wan, who stayed behind in the village. Arash and Bedivere, who had not recovered yet, set out from the north of the village and climbed higher into the mountains.
The Evening Bell Temple is located on the top of this mountain range. According to the oral name of the local people, the temple where King Hassan lived is also called the Azrael Temple, which means the Angel of Death.
As the altitude climbs, the oxygen content in the air becomes thinner and thinner, and the beasts in the mountains disappear, replaced by a large number of semi-crazy monsters and wandering souls.
While Lu Xiao continued to climb by killing monsters and undead, he began to adjust his breathing rhythm to adapt to the rapidly changing oxygen environment.
The mountain road leading to the Wanzhong Temple is narrow and rugged. The closer to the simple temple, the more Lu Xiao can feel the breath of death seeping into his soul.
The surrounding undead must have been attracted by this, and they acted as the gatekeepers of the Wanzhong Temple in disguise.
"Dang~dang~"
When Lu Xiao finally climbed to the gate of Wanzhong Temple, the big bell on the upper floor of the temple suddenly and inexplicably rang automatically.
"Well……"
Lu Xiao felt a little nervous. The sound of the evening bell was not a good omen. Perhaps this was Wang Hassan's last warning to him.
As a holy place in the lineage of Hassan Sabah, the Bell Temple is completely closed to the outside world.
The reason why Ju Wan and Bai Mao revealed the situation of Wanzhong Temple to Lu Xiao was because they sensed a specious atmosphere of sectarian belief from this stranger, and mistakenly thought that Lu Xiao was related to the Assassin sect... Of course, in fact,
It is indeed related, but the related world is different.
"Breathe~blow~"
About to meet the symbol of death, the Crowned Assassin, Lu Xiao took a deep breath to adjust, stabilized his emotions, and then stepped through the fully opened door of the Wanzhong Temple.
The Wanzhong Temple does not occupy a large area. The entire temple has only one main building and a tower with a big bell hanging on it.
After entering the Wanzhong Temple, the first thing that caught Lu Xiao's eyes was the statues of the Angel of Death standing on both sides.
The outstretched hands of the statues were folded together, and faint blue firelight burned in the palms of the two statues, providing a dim and scary cold light in the Evening Bell Temple.
Ever since he stepped into this temple, Lu Xiao's sixth sense began to issue constant warnings to him. The constant threat of acupuncture made all the hairs on Lu Xiao's body stand on end.
There was no human breath in the entire temple building. Maybe it was an illusion caused by excessive pressure, but Lu Xiao always felt that there was a lingering ghostly scream in his ears.
"Who is here, and why did you break into the Wanzhong Temple without permission?"
A sudden low voice sounded from behind Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao had no sense of the person's approach.
Turning around quickly, Lu Xiao saw a tall figure wearing metal armor and a skull mask on his face.
This man's body was surrounded by lingering blue ghosts. These unconscious souls did not cause any harm to the armored man and seemed to have become a part of his body.
This tall man wearing a skull mask is the owner of the Evening Bell Temple, Hassan, the first generation of the Assassin Order, and the Lord of the Mountain.
After watching Lu Xiao silently for a moment, Wang Hassan asked again in a low voice.
"Assassin, you possess some of the faith concepts of the Assassin sect. Tell the truth and I will consider punishing you for trespassing into the Wanzhong Temple as appropriate."
Lu Xiao can be considered a person who has weathered many storms. The shock and panic only lasted for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Master of the Mountain, it's an honor to meet you."
"I come from another parallel world and was fortunate enough to receive training from an assassin organization."
"Assassins... organization?"
Wang Hassan is no stranger to the existence of parallel worlds, and his focus is on the second half of Lu Xiao's sentence.
After a moment of silence, Wang Hassan asked again: "Not a religious order, but an organization?"
"Yes."
Lu Xiao solemnly replied: "During the era when I received training, the Middle East headquarters of the Assassin Order was breached by Hulagu, a descendant of Genghis Khan, and the nominal Assassin Order was destroyed."
"But Assassin's spirit did not end there. The five Crusades allowed the cultures of the Eastern and Western worlds to communicate with each other. The core ideas of the sect flowed into Western Europe, and branches of the Assassin organization were established in various European countries."
Wang Hassan seemed to be very interested in Lu Xiao's story. He did not launch an attack rashly, but listened with interest to Lu Xiao's description of the assassin organization from another world.
"Everything is allowed, but everything is false?"
"Huh huh huh~"
When Lu Xiao recited the motto of the Assassin Organization, Wang Hassan's mood fluctuated visibly, and he let out a low and joyful laugh under his mask.
"As you said, the religious structures of the reorganized Assassin organization and the Assassin order have been greatly different, but the continuation of the core ideas is still the same."
“Very good.”
The eyes exposed on Wang Hassan's mask suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the open door of the Wanzhong Temple closed on its own under the influence of an unknown force.
"Assassin from another world, you took the initiative to seek help despite the advice of Bai Mao and Shi Wan. You should have been aware of it in advance, right?"
"Qiang!"
A two-handed giant sword appeared in Wang Hassan's hand and penetrated deeply into the ground inside the temple.
"Since you are also the inheritors of the Assassin faith, and as the first generation leader of the Assassin Order, I will give you a chance."
Wang Hassan pulled out the giant sword inserted into the ground with one hand, and his body turned into blue soul fire and disappeared in the temple.
"Through my trial, I will exempt you from the offense of trespassing into the Wanzhong Temple."
