Chapter 45 Leaving Acre
I'm so lazy and don't want to code - by the author who was swallowed by laziness
-
After breakfast, Aunt Sophie took away the plates from the table.

Take out a pot of what looks like black tea, it doesn't taste as warm as black tea, but it tastes a bit sweet.

According to Aunt Sophie, this is a wild fruit grown in a forest not far away. The locals call it Xiaohongguo. You can eat it directly, but it is usually used as a fruit tea.

During this period, the little guy Harup also came once, and went out to play with Prissy and Harupi.

Karim didn't come, probably because he had other things to do.

He looked at the time and said, "Shall we go to the village chief?" Gao Long asked Altaïr.

Altaïr nodded, and then entered the house from the yard, just at this time Uncle Depp just came down from the stairs, it seems that he has been asleep since he was drunk.

"Morning... Oh no, what time is it now." Uncle Depp was about to say good morning, but seeing the bright sun outside, he slapped his head and thought for a long time.

"You bastard, it's already noon now, hurry up and help me." Aunt Sophie heard Uncle Depp's voice from the kitchen, and came out laughing and cursing.

"We are going to leave, thank you for your hospitality." Altaïr suddenly said.

"I'm going to leave now? Don't stay longer? At least have lunch before leaving?" After hearing this, Aunt Sophie wiped her hands with a rag and came out.

"Well, there are still things to be done." Gao Long answered Aunt Sophie's question.

"In this case, I'll make something for you to eat on the road." After saying that, Aunt Sophie returned to the kitchen, regardless of whether the two of them wanted it or not.

Soon Aunt Sophie came out with a sack, "Here are meatloaf and some bread, take it."

Gao Long stretched out his hand to take it. It was quite heavy, and he felt that he might not be able to eat a whole lunch.

Uncle Depp didn't say anything at the side, but he looked at him with a bit of reluctance. I don't know if it's reluctance for the two of them to leave, or reluctance for no one to drink with him after leaving.

After the two left from Aunt Sophie, they went straight to the village chief's house.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then the door was gently pushed open.

"Are you ready to leave?" the village chief asked at the door leaning on a cane.

"Yes." Altaïr replied.

Then the village chief turned around and went back to the room and took out something like a ring, "You guys send this thing to Jerusalem for me. I'm old and I can't make it through." Then he handed the ring to Altaïr, and another letter.

"Be careful on the road, goodbye," the village chief went back to the room and closed the door after saying that.

The content of the letter is basically that the distance between the two young people is a little far, and then they use letters to exchange feelings and so on. The man is probably the village head, and the woman should live in Jerusalem, and the only known name is Faisili. Connor Lufa, this ring may be the one that the village head wanted to give to Faith Li.

Looking at the mark on the letter that has turned yellow over time, one knows that a long, long time has passed, and it is possible that Faith Lido has passed away.

The two packed up their things and set off from the front entrance of the village. On the way, they met Karim, who was driving a ox cart.

"Are you leaving? Then I'll give you a ride." After speaking, Karim turned the direction of the car.

The two of them didn't show any pretense, they just sat in the back of the truck. Some boxes were neatly stacked on top of the truck. From the gaps, they could be seen to be some vegetables, which seemed to be used in the village.

The village is located on the coast, and there is no shortage of meat, but it lacks fields. It can only grow some wheat and grape vines.

Unexpectedly, the bullock cart was quite stable, at least Gao Long felt that it was much more comfortable than riding a horse.

The speed of the bullock cart was neither fast nor slow. After 20 minutes, it arrived at the edge of Aka City.

"Then, I'll send you here. Goodbye." Karim said hello to the two of them and returned.

"I didn't expect that there was a bit of chaos outside the city." Gao Long looked at the bustling crowd in front of him. The events in the city were getting more and more intense. There were even some frictions and conflicts between the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar.

There are no survivors in the entire Knights Hospitalier garrison, and the Knights Templar in the inner city suffered this loss for no reason. It has nothing to do with whether it is right or wrong politically, but to satisfy their own needs as much as possible. Party's interests are right.

Even the crusaders cannot be held together by a single strand of twine, there are factions.

During the Crusades, the Pope organized three major knights: the Knights of the Temple (mistranslated as the Knights of the Hospital, but still according to the Knights of the Hospital) the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights.

The earliest establishment of the three major knights was the Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights of the Hospital. Because it has continued to modern times, it was called the Knights of Malta. It was also stationed in Rhodes Island before, and it was also called the Knights of Rhodes. Most of the members are Italian knights.

The second one established was the Knights Templar, which was the most prominent and powerful knights during the Crusades, but everyone already knows the final result, and the members are basically French knights.

It's the same here, the Knights Templar is the main one, and the other two knights can't compare with the Knights Templar in some respects.

The last one established was the Teutonic Knights, whose members were all German nobles. During the period in Jerusalem, the Teutonic Knights did not have any outstanding performance, but they left a strong mark in the later history of German oriental colonization.

Therefore, in the first generation of Assassin's Creed, the main garrison in Jerusalem was the Knights Templar. Most of the small Teutonic Knights were scattered everywhere and were not the main force for the Eastern Expedition.

(I checked the information here and found that there is an error. The author wrote the wrong clothes of the Knights Hospitaller before. It should be a white pattern with a black background as the emblem of the Knights Hospitaller, but just think that the clothes are blue)
I bought two rough horses at a high price from a nearby horse dealer. Because there are too many people here in Acre City, the prices of too many supplies have increased accordingly, and there are many speculators who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Proceeding from the main road in the southwest direction of Acre City, along the way, there are businessmen who want to go to Aka City for business. Groups of carriages pass by the main road, and there are also checkpoints one after another.

Passing through the third inspection post, there were quite a few people inside the post, the most conspicuous of which was the bald head.

"Robert!" Altaïr whispered.

Following the direction of Altaïr's gaze, Gao Long also saw the bald head, it was indeed Robert, he didn't expect him to be here, and he didn't know what he was doing here.

Robert spoke loudly inside, and the surrounding soldiers were also aroused by him.

The two quietly hid behind a caravan and did not attract attention. Robert quickly came out and led the troops towards Acre City. As a member of the Knights Templar, Robert certainly had no need for faith. A skeptical attitude, but as a fighter, he is brutal and bloodthirsty, so he will inevitably go to Acre City without a bloodbath.

But all these were forgotten when they passed the outpost, and followed the caravan through four or five outposts. During this period, Gao Long had some dealings with the supervisor of the caravan. The supervisor's name was Prius Especially working in a well-known large local chamber of commerce, the Carnoton Chamber of Commerce, Gao Long seems to have a little impression, as if he has seen this shop in Damascus.

Priest brought in a batch of spices from Tulkarm this time, and some dry sea cargo from Netanya nearby to Jerusalem.

The two followed the caravan along the way without any accidents. The caravan also had a lot of mercenaries and guards from the chamber of commerce. In this chaotic place, it was natural to ensure their own safety.

After three days without incident, we arrived in the fields near Jerusalem. Hard-working farmers were working in the fields under the scorching sun. In the stream next to it, the waterwheel was slowly turning with the current, and the mill next to it was With the rotation of the waterwheel, the wheat was crushed into flour one by one, and the fine wheat flour was loaded into the carriage in bags, transported to the market in Jerusalem, and finally to the tables of the people in the city.
