Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 226
“The arrival of a person means the departure of a person, and the first person to cause harm to you will be eligible to leave.”
In an open place, Gordon needs to be on the lookout for projectiles from the surrounding woods, which may be darts or whistle arrows.
Holding the oath-keeping sword tightly in his hand, he watched vigilantly at everything around him. The sudden abnormal noise on the left made him turn back unconsciously, but a black shadow rushed out from the right.
This person did not use a dagger, or he realized that the error tolerance rate of using a dagger to complete an assassination in such an open place is too low, but a 30-centimeter dagger is just right.
The Assassin rushed out of the shadows with the help of swiftness and aimed at Gordon’s neck.
The people in front of them are much stronger than them, and there is no need to keep their hands.
Gordon felt a strong warning, and the Oathkeeper swept away, trying to avoid the assassin, but the latter shot three darts from his hand.
If he was injured, the game was over, and he had no choice but to dodge sideways, letting the assassin’s blade approach.
The short sword attacked like a poisonous snake, and then directly hit the sword of the oathkeeper.
Gordon raised his long sword and slashed violently from top to bottom. He had to force the assassin away, because he had already seen another opponent approaching.
The person in front of him had no intention of retreating at all, so his dagger was prepared for this. The sleeve blade in his left hand had already popped out. He would use the dagger to hold Gordon’s oath-keeping sword, and then get this chance to assassinate.
When he was about seven years old, he remembered that his family was impoverished. His mother could only sell him to a merchant ship and serve as a servant to a perverted captain. It was a miserable life that ordinary people could not imagine. This kind of harm was not only for the servants. Beating, scolding, and even more disgusting things made him never want to remember for the rest of his life.
He had to go out, kill the scum, and question his mother in person.
But with the huge force on the short sword, and the iron pieces splashing in the crisp sound, the sharp blade of the oath-keeper pierced his hat, and a bloodstain was drawn on the top of his head.
The oath-keeping sword forged from Valyrian steel finally exerted its due power.
If it wasn’t for Gordon’s ultimate loss of power, the Assassin would have faced a clean break.
“enough!”
Atabai stopped this game. Gordon’s magic weapon made this game extremely dangerous. Young people should not die in this place.
“I already understand your strength.”
Following his orders, all the assassins gave up the assassination and walked out of the jungle, while Atabai walked up to the injured assassin, lifted his hood, and blood was already running down his cheeks.
“Go down.”
He ordered the assassin, then turned to look at Gordon: “Nice sword.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“You’re more powerful than I thought, Gordon.”
“It’s just my sword.”
Gordon cracked his mouth and smiled, this kind of long face feeling is really good to be honest.
“Your growth is rapid. Half a year ago, the assassin who came back described you as just a young boy. You don’t need our training. Your swordsmanship is more suitable for you.”
Atabai led him to one of the thatched huts, which was no different from the others. The master of the Assassin Holy Land in the East Indies, the living environment of Master Atabai would surely make those luxurious paladins feel ashamed.
“You are very special and have excellent talent. No assassin has ever achieved such strength at your age. What is your purpose?”
“I’m here for help.”
“If you join us, the Brotherhood of Assassins will come forward when you help. We are in every city in the East Indies, in every country in Europe.”
Gordon fell silent. He was no longer the innocent boy he used to be. He had admiration for the Assassin Brotherhood and was also full of estrangement.
“Why can Mary be an assassin when you know she’s a pirate.”
“Because she has the potential to be an assassin, decisive, sharp, kind and longing for the light.”
“But she is here, in the holy land of assassins. You have learned the assassin’s killing techniques from your teaching, and then go to loot those merchant ships and kill those ordinary people!”
Gordon’s hatred for pirates is not much at all, and the tone of his speech can even be called gnashing of teeth.
“After she became an assassin, she stopped killing innocents.”
“You clearly know that as a pirate, as long as she loots, she will kill ordinary people. She can’t restrain all her subordinates.”
“I know.”
“Why? Assassins were born to ordinary people. You can better understand how difficult it is for them to survive. Why can you watch these things happen without doing anything?”
“Because you can’t be detached, you can only follow the rules of the game in this world.”
Atabai was very calm, and seemed to have seen through the world.
“The rules of this world are unreasonable. I think you have a deep understanding. The nobles make rules to protect their gold coins and maintain their rule. This world is forged by murderers. You killed the Portuguese jailers, they just stick to their posts. , you killed the Spanish soldiers because they wanted to kill you, and you attacked the French fortress, and how many poor people died, and why? Because you wanted to save the slaves, you wanted to live.”
Everything about Gordon is transparent here in Atabai, and everything he wants to keep secret ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The world needs change, and change needs bloodshed, maybe you think killing a Templar is justified. A common man makes you guilty, but you never imagined that maybe this Templar just put down his **** yesterday and was overjoyed that he had a new job. “
“No, no, no.” Gordon kept shaking his head, trying to deny it all.
“That’s not right, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself, but you shouldn’t kill innocent people anyway.”
“Yes, that’s right, but life is equivalent. Born in this world, there are no innocent people in this era.”
Gordon was silent, he couldn’t accept what Atabai said at all, or he couldn’t accept the cognition from the time of peace.
“How can you accept all this with peace of mind!”
“Because I know that everyone we kill is to save more people, and we are united because we have nothing to rely on but each other. This is a war that has been going on for tens of thousands of years, since the first time of mankind When an empire was founded, our war with the Templars began, for the freedom of belief, for more of your so-called innocents to live, not to let them rule, oppress, persecute.”
“Assassins are meaningless if freedom of belief needs to be sustained in this way.”
“Unless you can find a better way to change the world, or completely destroy the Knights Templar, that’s the only way, and that’s the rule we’ve been exploring for tens of thousands of years.”
Atabai didn’t speak any more, looked at Gordon who was in a depressed mood and gave him enough time to think.
But this time is too long, so long that the night spreads, the sound of the camp dissipates, and the broth brought into the grass hut condenses a layer of grease.
Finally Atabhai shook his head: “You are not ready to join this war.”
