Chapter 66 What is the use of the four-dimensional virtual height, you need to provide equipment
Dietrich Heinz was born in a small village on the border of the Holy Roman Empire. He is now 36 years old.
Since he showed his unique abilities as a child, he has been called a saint by the priests of the local church.
At that time, Dietrich had not yet fully accepted Aita's memory, and was confused about the priest's importance and training.
Under the subtle indoctrination of the enlightenment priest, he gradually became a member of the Templars. At this time, Dietrich had received a large number of Aita memories, mixed with some of his "predecessors".
The obsession.
Guided by the high concentration of Isu blood in his body, Dietrich accepted the invitation and came to France, and quickly located the location of the Holy Sword of Eden.
The Templars and Assassins in Paris were in a fierce struggle. The Templars were overjoyed at the arrival of the Saint. With almost the same promise as Vincent, they entrusted Dietrich to sneak into the Louvre and retrieve the Sword of Eden.
.
Dietrich, who received strict training from the Templars since childhood, also has eagle vision. With a higher concentration of Isu blood, he discovered the opponent's traces earlier than Lu Xiao.
Compared to the Saint who entered Paris with a high profile, the news of Lu Xiao's entry into Paris was not known to the Templars yet, but Dietrich could still see the other party's purpose at a glance.
Dietrich took a medium-sized hand crossbow from behind and pointed it at Lu Xiao, who was leaping on the beam in the hall.
"Whoosh!"
The powerful and heavy crossbow arrow was shot at Lu Xiao with a sharp crack of wind, hitting his side in just one second. Lu Xiao's body lost balance on the spot and fell downwards.
The corner of Dietrich's mouth curled up slightly, "Humph~ The little thief is also coming to compete with me for the Holy Sword."
Withdrawing the hand crossbow, Dietrich planned to jump off the beam and take away the inheritance left by his "predecessor".
"!!"
The sudden cold warning made Dietrich stop subconsciously, leaning his upper body back in an iron bridge position, and narrowly dodged a small crossbow arrow that was obviously coated with poison.
"Huh~"
After regaining his strength, Dietrich quickly hid behind one of the beams and pillars and let out a breath of fear.
'How is that possible! My crossbow arrow clearly hit his liver, why can I still launch a counterattack?'
With Eagle Vision turned on, Dietrich clearly captured Lu Xiao's traces.
Unscathed.
…
Lu Xiao relied on the powerful defensive power of Altaïr's armor to forcefully absorb the opponent's long-range attack. Taking advantage of Altaïr's unpreparedness, he opened the small folding crossbow on his left arm and fired the poisoned crossbow arrows at the saint.
However, this sure shot was dodged by the opponent at the critical moment. Lu Xiao was surprised and hid behind the pillar to rethink his strategy.
The two of them used their eagle vision to lock onto each other's position. Both sides were worried that the noise of the battle would attract the attention of the Louvre guards.
Relying on the strong physical bonus provided by the Isu bloodline and the Templars' years of training, Dietrich definitely surpassed Lu Xiao, who had only trained for less than 5 years, in terms of hard power.
But Lu Xiao is not completely helpless against the opponent. With the help of Aletheia, the artifact of Eden that hides fluctuations is his trump card.
'Considering the opponent's amazing sixth sense warning, there is only one chance.'
Quietly pulling out the Sword of Damocles from his waist, Lu Xiao took a deep breath.
Dietrich has been accustomed to relying on his physical strength to crush his enemies for many years. After getting over the initial shock, he probably guessed that there was something strange about the leather armor on the opponent's body.
'No matter how strong the armor is, it has its limits. I don't believe you can resist my attacks countless times.'
Full of confidence, Dietrich pulled out the melee weapon used in covert operations, stepped nimbly on the beam and approached Lu Xiao's hiding place.
"Um?"
Having just jumped over the last beam, seeing that the pillar where the enemy was hiding was already in front of him, Dietrich, who was in mid-air, suddenly sensed the strong aura of the Artifact of Eden.
"Could it be!"
"Haha~ That's it."
Lu Xiao, who came out from behind the pillar, held a long sword with golden light in his hand. The chest area under Altaïr's armor also shimmered with golden light. The Sword of Damocles, which had entered the activated state, was pointed in the air.
The saint in the middle thrust out violently.
The bright golden beam shot from the tip of the sword pierced the saint's chest in the blink of an eye, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
Under the impact of the incidental impact, the saint's body, which was not yet dead, leaned back and was about to fall off the beam.
The beams of the Louvre are at least 5 meters above the ground. If the opponent is allowed to fall like this, it is likely to attract the attention of the guards outside the main hall.
Suppressing the feeling of mental weakness, the golden bracelet on Lu Xiao's left arm quickly returned to its original shape.
"Whoosh!"
The Staff of Hermes held in his left hand was thrown out by Lu Xiao as a spear. After piercing the saint's body, he nailed him to the nearest pillar without losing any force.
"cough!"
The saint whose lungs were punctured coughed hoarsely, and blood spurted from his mouth. He was obviously on his deathbed.
"Hey... there are more than one artifact of Eden. Who are you...?"
Lu Xiao did not answer the last question of the saint whose name he still did not know, and stabbed his hidden sword into his neck, preparing to end his pain.
"It's...not...finished."
The saint with strong vitality held on to the damaged vocal cords, staring at Lu Xiao with a weird smile on his face: "I... won't... stop, the next... 'I' will... uh!
"
Before he finished speaking, the saint opened his eyes, tilted his head and died.
Reaching out to close the other person's eyes, Lu Xiao whispered in a calm tone: "May death bring you peace, poor Etta larvae."
"bass!"
Pulling out the Staff of Hermes from the pillar and changing it back into the shape of a bracelet, Lu Xiao also let out a tired sigh on the pillar.
'Is this what happens when your magic power is exhausted?'
I rubbed my temples painfully with my hands. Even though my body was not sick or injured, I felt dizzy and my mouth was dry. It was really uncomfortable.
It took several minutes for Lu Xiao to regain some energy. He endured this indescribable feeling of fatigue and took away the second Holy Sword of Eden in the main hall as quickly as possible, and silently left the Louvre the same way he came.
.
…
In a daze, Lu Xiao returned to Messier Manor and slept all night. When she woke up the next day, she was immediately greeted warmly by Vincent and other Parisian assassins.
From Vincent's mouth, Lu Xiao learned the name of the saint who was killed.
The blood left by Dietrich's body dripped from the beams to the ground, and he was discovered early the next morning by guards who entered the main hall to inspect the treasures.
The heavily guarded Louvre was invaded, an ancient artifact collected by Louis XI was stolen, and a corpse was left on a beam. The relevant gossip quickly spread throughout Paris' upper class society.
.
After receiving the news, the Assassins and Templars stopped fighting at the same time and retreated to their bases to understand the situation. Both sides soon learned that the Assassins were the victors.
When Vincent and others happily returned to the mansion to celebrate, Lu Xiao fell into a deep sleep in advance due to mental exhaustion due to exhaustion of magic power.
It has to be said that the French are indeed born with a romantic element. As soon as Lu Xiao woke up, a grand celebration banquet that had been prepared was held at Messier Manor.
Assassins from the Paris Brotherhood, as well as allies from all walks of life associated with the Assassins, accepted the invitation to attend the banquet.
As the protagonist of this celebration banquet, Lu Xiao was a little uncomfortable with the overly passionate romance of the French. He rejected many noble ladies who made explicit proposals to him, and finally got a moment of rest and went to the garden of Messier's house.
Rest quietly.
'The mission was successfully completed. Vincent kept his promise and temporarily handed over the Sword of Eden to me for safekeeping. Now it's time to return to Italy to prepare for my last mission in the Assassin's Creed world.'
Just as Lu Xiao was deep in thought, his keen sixth sense suddenly warned him.
Raising his eyebrows, Lu Xiao turned to look at the shadow of the garden: "Come out, Master Phillip. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
