Fortunately for me, I don't know if I will lose it - the author

The next day, under the farewell of Circe and Reese, Gao Long left Jerusalem.

At the gate of the city, he bought a nasty horse at several times the price. Gao Long didn't have many gold coins, but whenever he was short of money, he might be able to play as a gentleman on Liang who robbed the rich and benefited himself.

When he left Jerusalem, Gao Long found that the number of guards at the gate of the city had been greatly reduced, and there were only a few people left. He didn't know what happened to the other gates, but as the gate with the largest number of entrances and exits, the North Gate was indeed Some are pitiful.

Go back to where you came from, this time you are going to Acre City, Altaïr should still be on the way, but it will take 4 days for Gao Long to reach Acre City, he will not take any trails this time, old man Honestly walk the road.

So when Gao Long arrived, Altaïr should have arrived.

Along the way, the number of people from the direction of Acre to Jerusalem has decreased significantly, and the number of caravans has also decreased a lot. On the contrary, the number of people coming out of Jerusalem has increased. Most of them are not going to the direction of Acre, because Acre It is an unstable period itself, and many civilians just want to live in a stable and safe place, not in a city that may become an innocent victim at any time.

After four days without incident, Gao Long once again stood at the gate of Aka City.

Acre City is now ruled by Saladin, but the actual person in charge of Acre City is William de Montferrat. Al Mualim told Gao Long and Artest about this name as early as Masyaf. you.

William joined the Knights Templar at an early age, responsible for the protection of pilgrims on the way and the public service of the Holy Land.

William was very scheming. He wanted to take advantage of the hostile Christians and Saracens and seize control of the Holy Land.

For this William participated in Robert's plan.The content of the plan is what will be implemented next.

Jerusalem is the holy land of the three religions, William's plan was originally implemented there following Robert's plan, but because of King Richard and Mahad, William came to Acre.

King Richard believed in William's ability, and Mahad drove William out of Jerusalem in this way because William hindered his rights.

When they arrived at the liaison office in Akka City, it was Raquel who received Gao Long. "Oh, it's Gao Long. Come sit here." Then Raquel opened the door and asked Gao Long to sit down first.

Raquel's attitude is very good, because the last mission of Gao Long and Altaïr made Raquel's status in Acre City much higher.

"Altaïr has already arrived here, and he came to me by the way, but let me tell you the mission." Raquel took a scroll from the table, opened it and handed it to Gao Long.

Gao Long nodded, took the scroll, and looked at it. It said something about William's troops and personal situation.

"William de Montferrat is your target, and there are many things to say about him." Raquel also picked up a booklet, which should contain the information collected.

"A lot to say? It seems that his deeds are really widely spread." Gao Long joked.

"King Richard appointed William to rule here when he was commanding the war at the front. This is a strange choice in the eyes of ordinary people. Do you know why?" Raquel smiled and asked Gao Long a question.

Gao Long naturally didn't know, so he shook his head, and Raquel continued, "King Richard has a feud with William's son Conrad, but I think King Richard's move is really smart."

Gao Long was very surprised by this statement, because since he had a feud with William's son Conrad, why did he appoint William as the ruler of Acre City, and he also said that it was a very smart way? "What a smart way ?”

Raquel knew what Gao Long was wondering about, "King Richard and Conrad disagreed with each other on most issues, and they were polite in public, but they were both respectful to each other through gossip. The evil design seems to be related to the Saracens imprisoned in the city of Acre."

Raquel mentioned a key point, that is, the Saracens, because they are going to be exchanged for the Crusaders. "After that, Conrad has returned to the city of Tyre, but King Richard forced William to stay here as a guest." Raquel showed an expression that everyone understood.

Gao Long nodded, "You mean he is here as a hostage?"

"Whatever you call him, William can undoubtedly contain Conrad's actions here." Raquel didn't care whether this statement was true, but the result.

"The war between Saladin and King Richard is related to the outcome of the entire region, so the existence of William has an impact on the battle situation." Raquel took out a battle report and gave it to Gao Long. The above records are all recent small-scale battles.

Gao Long shook his head and denied, "I don't have much knowledge or interest in politics."

Of course Raquel didn't think so, "Even so, you should be very clear that none of your actions and Altaïr's actions affect the future of the Holy Land, so here you are also a political mission, but in your own way. "

Gao Long shrugged, "Whatever, can you tell me where to start the investigation?"

"Richard's castle in the southwest, or the market in front of the castle, you can also see the Holy Cross Cathedral there, there are people coming and going in that place, there must be many talkative citizens, and finally go to the western border, That's the border of the church district. Altaïr is in a nearby hotel, you can go to him and discuss." Raquel circled three large locations on the map.

"Thank you, Raquel." Gao Long thanked.

"It's nothing." Raquel saw that Gao Long was about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, there should be a letter from Masyaf about your mission in a few days."

Gao Long nodded when he heard it, and then left the liaison office in Aka City.

"The hotel next to it, is it the one I stayed in last time?" Following his memory, Gao Long came to that hotel, and the owner seemed to no longer remember that Gao Long had been there.

"Is anyone living here recently, a man in white clothes." Gao Long leaned on the counter and asked the boss, who pointed to it, "If that person is the person you are looking for, then you are right, he I said that someone will come to him in the next few days, if you want to go, just go up, he has already opened two rooms."

After thanking the boss, Gao Long came to the second floor "Altaïr" Gao Long called softly, and the second room on the right was opened, and it was Altaïr inside.

"Long time no see, Altaïr." Gao Long gave Altaïr a big hug.

Altaïr also showed a smile, "Yeah, I haven't seen Gao Long for a long time, how is your task completed? Oh, no, since you can come here, it means that your task has been completed very well." Altaïr He led Gao Long into the room and closed the door.

There is still a lot to talk about between them, at least for Gao Long.
