Lu Xiao's biggest purpose of traveling to Italy was to relax, and by the way, it was also a revisit to her old place in another sense.
A painting that shouldn't exist suddenly burst into Lu Xiao's sight, making his originally relaxed and freehand mood immediately become tense.
"System! Come out!"
System: "Host, please speak."
Lu Xiao quickly left Pitti Palace and paced anxiously back and forth outside the gate, thus attracting strange looks from many passing tourists and locals.
"Why do the paintings painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the Assassin's Creed world appear here! Don't tell me that the mission world will also erode reality!"
"The host's worries are unnecessary. This is just a slight change caused by the host himself and will not significantly affect the historical process of the main world."
The system still answered Lu Xiao's question in an inorganic and mechanical tone: "When it is bound to the system, the host becomes the only existence in the world. There are no parallel worlds with multiple hosts."
"No matter how many worlds you experience, you are unique in every world."
"The deep traces left by the host in the timeline of the mission world are occasionally mapped to the main world across the gaps between worlds."
"System, what do you call traces... what is the standard of measurement? How far do I have to go to leave my record across the world?"
System: "At least it needs to be eulogized by an artist as famous as Leonardo da Vinci, so that the traces left by the host in the parallel world can affect the main world."
"Breathe~" Lu Xiao took a deep breath and spit it out at a steady pace, and his mood calmed down a lot: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"The host has not asked any relevant questions. This system is only responsible for answering questions and will not take the initiative to answer them."
Lu Xiao almost laughed out loud at the system's silly reply, but thinking about it carefully, this guy really doesn't have much intelligence. Expecting it to proactively give reminders in addition to novice tips is just too much thinking.
After hurriedly returning to the hotel, Lu Xiao used Google to carefully check the description and creative background of the painting "Farewell Friends".
This painting was begun by Leonardo da Vinci in 1478 and completed in 1479.
The origin of the characters in the painting is unknown. Based on the name given by Leonardo da Vinci to the painting, it is speculated that they should be travelers who came to Italy from the Ming Dynasty in the far east and had relatively close contacts with Leonardo da Vinci.
This painting has a very important reference significance for later generations to examine the characteristics of Oriental people. It is the first truly Chinese painting in the history of Western countries.
Without artistic distortion or human bias processing, it "truly" reflects the spiritual outlook of the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
Lu Xiao dumbfounded and rubbed his temples: "System, let's discuss it and try not to throw me into a parallel world related to past history. I don't want to have to learn history all over again every time I come back..."
System: "Unfortunately, neither this system nor the host has the authority to modify the rules of world travel. The host is asked to be mentally prepared in advance."
…
Before leaving Italy and returning to China, Lu Xiao took a bus to visit the city of Monteriggioni.
This small town still retains the Renaissance castle architecture. There are only a few thousand people living inside and outside the castle, and the pace of life is very slow.
Of course, there is no Auditore Sanctuary underground in Monteriggioni in the main world, it is just an ordinary small town in the middle world.
Standing on the city wall and looking out in all directions, the vast green farmland made Lu Xiao feel refreshed and reminded him of the scenery he saw when he first came to the world of Assassin's Creed.
'It seems that when we enter a new mission world in the future, we still need to be cautious about what we say and do when it comes to issues that may involve historical changes.'
"System, when will the next shuttle world be announced?"
System: "Two weeks after returning to the main world, the host still has 3 days to prepare for the next shuttle. Information about the new world will be announced in two days."
"Please note that after the welfare period of the novice world ends, the triggering rate of random tasks will drop significantly, and the system will try its best to avoid interfering with the host's independent choices in the task world."
"Is that so? That's okay."
Lu Xiao stood up from the bed and opened his character digitization panel.

Free skill points: 7
Free attribute points: 5
Available draws: one Unlimited World Epic (a) level draw, and one Assassin's Creed World Excellence (c) level draw.
After years of training, Lu Xiao's skills and attributes have improved to a certain extent. When free running is upgraded to C level, he will be given 2 points of agility attributes, and when his melee combat and archery skills are upgraded to D, he will be given 1 point of strength attribute each.
However, after reaching level C, the improvement through self-training was minimal. The long progress bar from free running from C to B made Lu Xiao feel desperate.
"It's impossible to move up without skill points, unless you spend several years, or even more than ten years, grinding it slowly."
Compared with the higher-value epic-level unlimited world lottery, the excellent Assassin's Creed world lottery is obviously much lower in value.
Lu Xiao thought about it and decided to use this lottery opportunity first.
The turntable began to rotate, and Lu Xiao closed her eyes habitually and waited for the result.
"Congratulations to the host, I have drawn an excellent item, the ship - Altaïr II."
Lu Xiao: “???”
"What the hell do you want to do by giving me a niceboat?!"
Altaïr II, a seemingly ordinary ship, has actually undergone extensive internal transformation by the Assassin organization. In the modern plot line of the Assassin's Creed world, it is the sea fortress and mobile command center of the Assassin Brotherhood.
In terms of rarity, Altaïr II definitely deserves to be rated as an excellent item, but Lu Xiao thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what use it had to her.
First of all, it is impossible for the main world to be used as a high-end yacht. Not to mention that Altaïr II does not have a factory number, and the high-precision equipment that has been modified internally will never pass the review if submitted. Instead, it is easy for people to come to check the water meter and send warmth.
In the modern information society, there are surveillance equipment everywhere, and even the sea is often scanned by satellites from various countries. Once you are caught going to sea privately, it is no joke.
"That is to say, unless there are extremely special circumstances, this ship can only be used in the mission world?"
