The Journey of the Demon Hunter

This reminded Zelin of the group of Byzantine soldiers he saw in the afternoon, so he would understand what was going on after thinking about it.

Zelin lowered his head and prodded the noodle soup in the bowl in front of him with a silver fork. They called this macaroni, but unfortunately it didn't suit the taste of the demon hunter. "The Byzantines also know that you have arrived here, Ezio, it seems that the power of the Knights Templar here is not as weak as expected."

Ezio held the cup in his hand, raised his head and drank the drink called a cocktail. "Our Byzantine friends gave us a warm welcome, but I have long been used to dealing with these people."

"I have sent people to inspect the nearby city, and these Byzantines must not be allowed to continue like this." Yousef said to Zelin. "But don’t worry, those Byzantines are not only causing trouble for us, but also for the Ottoman Empire. In this city, we still have the initiative. So far, this is the first time they have been in the Galatians. When launching an attack, I will send someone to inspect the nearby city, and I will never give them such a chance again."

Hearing what Yousef said, Zelin didn’t say anything. The Brotherhood of Assassins is hard to say in other places in Constantinople, but in Galatia and the Grand Bazaar near the Golden Horn, they all have a lot of Strong control, after all, has been rooted in this city for many years, Zelin believes that Yousef has the ability to handle things here.

So he told Yousef about what he saw today, including the Byzantine strongholds he saw near the racecourse. To his surprise, this unexpectedly exceeded Yusuf's expectations. It seemed that he did not expect the Knights Templar to set up an armed stronghold so close to the royal city.

"I will send someone to investigate again. It stands to reason that considering the leaders of the Byzantines, they shouldn't be able to get close to the royal city." Yousef lowered his eyes and said to himself.

"Who is our enemy?" Zelin asked curiously. Ezio did not show a confused expression, it seemed that he had learned about it from Yusuf on the way.

Yusuf coughed lightly and explained with interest to Zelin, "If we talk about our enemies, we have to mention the Byzantine Empire sixty years ago. Constantine XIV, he was emperor for three years. , Was defeated by Sultan Muhammad II. Constantine XIV was a good man, maybe the only person who could be called the Roman emperor in these years. This Roman emperor was very brave and died in battle when the city was broken. But his two nephews did not inherit his good qualities. One of them died of illness a few years ago. As for the other, Manuel, I don’t know how to get in touch with the Pokia family and the Knights Templar. We’ve been making trouble for us now. We don’t know where Manuel is hiding now, but no matter who is in the royal city, how can he get mixed up with those who plan to overthrow the Ottomans and restore the Byzantine Empire? It doesn’t make sense. "

This really doesn't make sense. The chaos in the Ottoman court was just that the two princes were fighting for the position of the sultan, but the Byzantines wanted to drive them out and regain the country. This was essentially a conflict.

Zelin shook his head slightly. Things here went smoothly. Thanks to the conflict between Prince Selim and Sultan Bayezett, there were not many people in the royal city. It is estimated that in a short time, after eliminating the influence of the statue, he will be ready to leave and go back. Francesca was ready for directional navigation, and he could come back anytime in the future. He has placed the bust found in the King City in the Assassin’s stronghold of the Grand Bazaar. Compared with the headquarters where there are more assassins, the Grand Bazaar’s stronghold has a lot of vacant rooms. He has enough personal space and Francesca. Talk and experiment how much impact this statue can have.

"I came to Constantinople to find the books that Niccolo Polo had kept in Constantinople. This is the key that can guide me to open the Masyaf Altaïr library." Aiji Ao made no secret of his purpose, and he trusted the Assassin brothers and Zelin very much. "I believe I can find inspiration in Masyaf's library."

"I know that the Poirot brothers’ firm established several strongholds in Constantinople in the past. Have you read the travel notes of Marco Polo’s son, Mark Poirot? It was a sensation. By the way, master, after you get acquainted with this place, I will take you to meet our bomb expert, Piri Reis."

Ezio rarely showed a surprised expression, "Piri Reis, is it ours?"

"Yes, navigator, pirate, draftsman, or blasting expert. The bomb technology he brought to the Brotherhood helped us a lot."

Hearing they mentioned something familiar to him, Zelin turned his head slightly. Bomb technology, he is really interested in knowing what special craftsmanship the bombs in this world have.

Chapter 1257 The Invention of Da Vinci

"It seems that wherever I go, I can meet the Knights Templar."

"The Knights Templar is like a nine-headed Hydra. If you cut off one of its heads, if you don't hurt the other head, the broken head will grow out soon."

The next day, Yousef sent someone to repair Ezio's Hidden Blade, which was damaged in the battle of Masyaf. Ezio practiced the hook sword specially made by the Brotherhood of Constantinople with great interest. This weapon can be used as an extension of the arm and is particularly effective in Constantinople, where there are many houses. The distance between some houses makes it difficult to jump over, but with the hook sword, they can just grab the opposite eaves. , Or a gap at a higher level. This is like the tool Zelin came up with when the Yanan small fishing boat was about to get out, but it has more functions than his simple tool, whether it is climbing or sliding, or using barbs to catch people. , Very convenient.

Zelin fiddled with a bomb in his hand, a foul bomb. To be honest, he didn't like this kind of thing. Even if this thing made the enemy lose combat effectiveness, the foul smell wouldn't just avoid it because of who threw him out. Human nostrils, so he focuses more on the smoke bomb. In the past, he had made smoke bombs in his castle. The principle of that thing was similar to that of Moon Dust. It was not a bomb that could kill people, but it was effective in some cases. However, his smoke bombs always fail. There is no way to turn into a large smoke screen that can block the line of sight like the bombs of the Brotherhood, but like the dust of the moon, the lime powder is sprayed over.

Of course, the gas bomb is the killer of the Brotherhood, and it is also something that Yusuf and others are not willing to produce. Something made with mandala, hydrangea, nightshade and mandrake as raw materials. Will cause the enemy to fall into a frenzy in the poisonous gas, and die in more than ten seconds.

Ezio fell down beautifully, falling steadily from the wire between the roof of the house to the ground. Already more than 50 years old, but his skills are still the same. He glanced at the bomb in Zelin's hand. "If it were the Templars, they would throw this thing on our heads without hesitation."

"So I don't like them." Zelin knows that there are good people and bad people in every group, but sometimes this has to be added to the end. Sometimes, some people have more good people, and some bad people make up the majority. . Although it might seem simple to distinguish between good and bad, Zelin didn't want to be involved in things in another world. "You came to Constantinople to find the key, do you have a clue?"

"For decades, I wanted to find some enlightenment in Altaïr's teacher's library. He was a master of the Brotherhood. During the Western Expedition in Mongolia, he closed the library and gave the key to Nico. Lo Polo, let him take him to Constantinople to hide." With that, he took out a slightly yellowed leather book and opened the pages. The deep red letters on the title page have faded a bit, but Zelin Can see clearly the writing on it-the Secret Crusade.

Ezio handed the book to Zelin casually, and the demon hunter flipped through it, but the contents were related to the history of this world. After reading two pages, Zelin quickly turned back "I want to find Bo The Luo brothers’ old store in Constantinople should have some clues there. I don’t know for hundreds of years. The old store may have been resold, but Yousef’s people are helping to listen to the news. You Is there something to do when you come to Constantinople?"

Zelin lifted his head from the book, closed the book and handed it to Ezio. "Yes, an old antique with a bit of time, but I have found it. I will take it with me when I determine the authenticity. You need help. Does it happen that I should be very free this time."

They were walking along the streets of Constantinople, while Ezio was familiar with the environment and the new weapon in his hand. This is different from Rome. Although he fought with the Poggi family in Florence in the past, he is not ignorant of Rome. This is the first time he has set foot on the land of Constantinople. Here, the Knights Templar instead Have local advantages.

"I think the messengers of the Knights Templar have come to Constantinople from Masyaf, and I found out when I was in Masyaf, that these Knights Templar were also looking for someone to open the Altaïr library. Key, they are one step faster than us."

"The Templars? Open the library belonging to the Brotherhood of Assassins? Do they want to learn from you?" Looking at Ezio's frowning brows, Zelin felt that his joke might have failed.

"You are the experiencer back then, and you know the power of golden apples."

Hearing Ezio's words, Zelin immediately thought of the assassin's move to kill half of the Roman city while holding a golden apple in Rome. The power of the golden apple is still fresh in the memory of the demon hunter, even after five years have not forgotten it.

"You won't tell me that there is a golden apple hidden in Master Altaïr's library?"

Ezio did not speak, but nodded solemnly.

"This is really bad. We have to race against time. If the people of the Knights Templar get the golden apple, then they can go back to Rome again?"

"It's not just Rome." Ezio shook his head, smearing a trace of worry on his slightly vicissitudes of life. "After the failure five years ago, the Brotherhoods of the cities along the Mediterranean Sea have just been established, but these Knights Templar have already begun to attack everywhere. I am worried that their purpose is definitely not just to control Constantinople."

"But we should have the advantage?"

"Of course, by the way, try this. This is the tool Leonardo gave me when I left." As he said, Ezio took out a bag of folded cloth and handed it to Zelin. Before the demon hunter could inquire, the assassin had jumped onto the nearby roof in two steps, and beckoned to Zelin who was still below. "Come up and have a try."

Zelin looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention nearby, he jumped onto the roof in two steps.

"This thing is called a parachute." Ezio proudly explained to Zelin. "I'll tell you how to use..."

Before Ezio could finish speaking, Zelin heard the harsh metal rubbing in his ears. An assassin fell beside them. The assassin was very anxious, and the speed of sliding down was so fast that he almost couldn't stand firm.

Ezio quickly held the assassin's arm, and before they asked, the assassin told them the answer to the question.

"Captain Yousef asked me to come over and tell you that the Templars attacked the strongholds of the Grand Bazaar and Galatia at the same time!"

Chapter 1258: Hydra's First Head

"It seems that our friends from the Knights Templar do not intend to give us any extra time."

Ezio did not hesitate, and immediately agreed. "Shall we go to the headquarters?"

"No, the leader of Yousef went to the stronghold of the Grand Bazaar, but he was not worried about whether the Galatian stronghold could be held, so he hoped that the master would help hold the Galatian stronghold."

Hearing that the stronghold of the Grand Bazaar was being attacked made Zelin's heart tense, but he was a little relieved to learn that Yousef personally took someone to defend the stronghold of the Grand Bazaar. It can be seen that Yousef didn't seem to think that the stronghold near the Galatia headquarters would be in trouble, so he took most of the people to rescue the stronghold of the Grand Bazaar. It is probably because the sudden attack of the Knights Templar made him feel uneasy, so I hope Ezio can go to Galatia to take a look.

"Let's go." Ezio looked at Zelin, and the Demon Hunter nodded immediately.

"I will follow you and we will set off."

In the sunset, the roofs of the city showed a dark brown. Zelin could see the doubt in Ezio's eyes. In fact, he also felt an atmosphere of something wrong during the attack. The Knights Templar suddenly launched an attack, and still attacked the two strongholds of the Brotherhood at the same time. This is not the same as the power of the Templars in the city they estimated. Something must have gone wrong, and since they decided to attack, it means that they may have made a perfect plan and preliminary preparations, and they must start to do it. .

This feels bad. They stand on the bright side, knowing that the enemy has a plan, but they can't find a clue.

There was a slight noise at first, and soon, it was the thumping sound of arrows hitting the wooden planks. Before they got close to the stronghold, they saw the battlefield.

The stronghold was located near a private house, and as a result the houses and nearby streets became battlefields. More than a dozen soldiers of the Knights Templar were under the cover of a huge wooden plank, braving a crossbow attack on a nearby commanding height, a bald Templar was waving the hammer in his hand, constantly hitting it. The narrow metal gate of the assassin's stronghold. Several corpses waded on the ground, all wearing lavender Byzantine clothes. Five assassins seized the nearby commanding heights and fired them below. The Templars used shields to synthesize a tortoise shell to resist attacks from all directions. Degan that Zelin saw was Yusuf's assistant.

"Master! Watch out to the north!"

At Degan's feet was the corpse of a Templar knight. These Byzantines not only attacked from one direction, but also surrounded it from other places. Zelin glanced randomly, and there were at least thirty heavily armed enemies in his field of vision. The fighting had already disturbed the citizens here. They hid at home, only the bold ones glanced at the battlefield outside through the cracks in the window.

These Templar knights rushed from the north.

Attacks in other directions have been blocked by the assassins, but they opened a gap in the north. The destroyed barricade was burning, and the Templars were rushing in.

"I'm going to block the roadblock over there."

"I'm going to deal with the enemy in the open space in front of the door."
