Chapter 424

"In fact, the assassin organization has not been completely erased."

Raytheon Eric finally put the last piece of French fries in his mouth. "At least in Europe, they have a branch, that is, the Holy Cross brothers."

"Branch?" Qin Fei heard for the first time that there is such an assassination organization called "heresy" in Europe. What is more incomprehensible is that it pursues JD religion instead of YSL religion. It is not too much to describe the two religions with the same situation.

"Is the holy cross a branch of assassin?!"

A medieval middle east assassination organization formed by the YSL heretical faction unexpectedly dormant in modern Europe, which had to make people lose their chin.

"That's right," Eric said without hesitation. "Well, let me tell you a story. Maybe it's a long story, but I still want you to know what's going on in my organization."

"I have plenty of time tonight." Zhuixing drank and showed great interest in this topic. "What you and Qin talked about made me go back to the time when I was a child in school. It was like sitting in the classroom listening to the teacher talking about the unofficial history of historical figures."

"Yes, on the surface, assassin can't have branches in places like Europe. I think everyone knows that it's a matter of faith."

Eric said, "but there are exceptions to everything in the world, and the Holy Cross brotherhood, the assassin branch in Europe, is one of them. Do you know which army was the most powerful in this army under the tide of the crusade?"

Eric's eyes swept over everyone's face, like the teacher who had made the question.

"Templar order." Qin Fei answered this question without thinking.

"Yes, it's the famous Templar order," Eric said. "The Templar order is a mercenary like organization established by Hugo de paying and gefrey de San Omo in 1119 with the Al Aqsa Mosque on the temple mountain as the base to protect the safety of pilgrims."

"Because everyone is their own master, the Templar and assassin become two opposite sides, and assassin constantly sends people to assassinate the leader of the Crusader. During this period, the two sides have fought with each other. In one of the assassinations over the long years, a knight named Lucini de Moray fought with the most elite assassin of the old man in the mountain and chased him to the wild to kill him, but He was also seriously injured. "

"At that time, Lucini's fighting power and tenacious willpower shocked Sheikh Aladdin Muhammad, an old man in the seventh mountain who was secretly monitoring the assassination. He took Lucini to his secret residence and cured him. Lucini didn't know that the other party was assassin. He thought it was just an ordinary old man and was at ease to recuperate there."

"Sheikh Aladdin taught Lucini what he had learned all his life, but he knew that both sides could only be two sides of the eternal team. He just appreciated the young knight. Later, Lucini finally decided to leave after living in a secret residence for half a year. Before leaving, Sheikh Aladdin Muhammad gave his dagger to the young man."

Eric took out the Damascus dagger and put it on the table.

Under the dim light, the blade emits a simple and thick light, as if telling an unknown history.

Qin Fei didn't expect that this exquisite Damascus dagger was actually the blade of the legendary old man in the mountains, but he knew that the dagger was valuable, which can be seen from its workmanship and the lost craft.

"When they parted, Sheikh Aladdin Muhammad confessed his true identity to Lucini, and Lucini was also grateful for the care of the old people in the mountain. Although they had no name of teachers and disciples, they had a share of teachers and disciples. Lucini returned to the temple knights and continued to be his own knight. Until he returned home, he never told anyone what happened to him, hidden Hide from the old man in the mountains. "

"Several decades later, the assassins suffered the disaster of extinction, and Lucini, who was far away in Europe, became a grandfather, and his son also inherited his mantle and became a Templar. Among them, his son became the leader of the Templar order, that is, Jacques de Moray, the last head of the Templar order."

"In 1291, the Templars were almost completely destroyed in the battle of Calier against St. Jean Acker. The remaining Templars and hospital Knights withdrew to Cyprus and returned to France. Thanks to the Crusade, the Templars in the form of papal mercenaries accumulated a lot of wealth. They were even the big creditors of the French king, with thousands of castles and huge wealth This made the king and the bishop very envious and jealous. Therefore, King Philip IV of France woven the crime of "heresy" to eradicate them. "

"On Friday, October 13, 1307 (this is one of the origins of the superstition of" Black Friday "), there was no sign in advance. Almost all members of the Knights Templar in France were arrested and restricted from using any property to prevent being transferred abroad. The" beautiful man "who has always been known for his intelligence and ability" Philip IV, the French king, issued a secret letter ordering local officials to open it at the same time and carry out his rectification. 138 regiments were arrested in Paris alone, including Jacques de Moray, the head of the regiment. "

"In order to save the lives of the members of the regiment, Jacques de Moray compromised and pleaded guilty to King Philip IV of France in order to give up creditor's rights and wealth in exchange for freedom, but unexpectedly, he was betrayed by Pope Clement V and King Philip IV. finally, all the Templars were killed, and Jacques was tied to the gallows and slowly roasted with fire."

"What Philip IV and Pope Clement V did not expect was that Jacques's son had already received the true biography of his grandfather Lucini. After his father was killed, he left Paris and quietly established the 'Holy Cross brotherhood', recruiting a large number of descendants and followers of Templars and training them to become assassins. They no longer believed in the Holy See and no longer matched each other I believe in imperial power and believe that everything is redeemed by myself. "

"Philip IV and Pope Clement V died one after another shortly after Jacques was burned to death. The most widely circulated thing is about Jacques' Curse of the Templar order issued to them before he died. Clement V was killed by lightning, and King Philip IV of France lived only more than half a year longer than him. On November 29 of that year, he died while hunting. It is said that he was killed by a wild boar Yes, but some people doubt this statement, because Philip IV is a knight with extraordinary courage. It is said that he can easily carry two big men on his shoulders. "

"In fact, the deaths of these two people are related to the 'Holy Cross brotherhood', which is also the first major event of the assassination organization since its establishment. Since then, the organization has learned the lessons of the Templar order, no longer appeared in public, but went underground. For hundreds of years, it has strictly followed the discipline of the organization and undertaken high-level assassination missions. There are many assassinations in history Time has their shadow, but few people in this organization miss, even if they miss, it will only be a dead end, so few people know. "

After Eric finished the history of the "Holy Cross Brotherhood", everyone felt that they fell into the fog of history and couldn't find a way out.

No one expected that an African mercenary should be associated with the killer organization in the dark world.

"Eric, I want to ask you something." after a long silence, Kun guessed that he was the first to speak. "Since you say that the assassin of the brotherhood is dead if he misses, why..."

His eyes slipped back and forth on Eric's face, and he was tempted to stop talking.

Eric said bluntly, "you want to ask, why am I still alive?"
