Chapter 77 Prepare for Action
Finding joy in bitterness is the way to win others-Author

"It seems that King Richard came back because of something?" Gao Long thought about what the shopkeeper said just now, and asked Altaïr.

"It seems so. Could it be that William is unwilling to accept the current situation and wants to rebel against King Richard? But that doesn't make sense. His son Conrad will not sit back and watch his father's life or death." Altaïr said The key to the matter is that the biggest link between William and King Richard actually lies with Conrad. If Conrad wants to make any threatening move, King Richard will have enough ability to stop Conrad.

If William died, then the biggest trump card in King Richard's hand would be gone, and the result would be self-evident.

The task of Gao Long and Altaïr is to tear this trump card to pieces.

Arriving near the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Gao Long followed Altaïr into the church. After some worship, Altaïr softly said to Gao Long, "See? Those people over there are all soldiers."

What Altaïr was talking about was a group of priest-like people who were discussing with each other holding a Bible in a place in the middle.

"How did you find out?" Gao Long took a few glances, but didn't find anything special, but Altaïr did.

"Look at their hands. There are calluses on the palms of their hands. People who don't hold weapons all year round won't have such calluses. And their eyes, sometimes they are not actually looking at the book, but looking at the surroundings with vigilance. Movement, and strangers coming here, like us." Altaïr meant that the two of them had actually been targeted for a long time, but Gao Long didn't feel anything at all.

It seems that Altaïr's eagle intuition is indeed very powerful, and he can learn a lot of useful information from even the smallest details.

The greatest possibility for these soldiers here is to prevent some accidents that will happen. It is very likely that King Richard will return here recently, so first dispatch some better soldiers as protection, and then cover up their identities and station here.

Gao Long nodded to Altaïr, and then the two left the Holy Cross Cathedral and circled around the outside of the church. Except for some small teams on regular patrols, they saw no one else.

"Why do the cathedrals here have so few people, unlike churches in other cities or other places, where people come and go all the time." Gao Long asked Altaïr with the doubts in his heart.

Altaïr asked back, "Didn't you find out what area this is?"

"Area? What do you mean?" Gao Long didn't quite understand what Altaïr meant.

"This is a wealthy area, that is, an aristocratic area. Generally, nobles will invite priests or nuns to worship or something like that, while commoners will take the initiative to go to church." After listening to Altaïr's explanation, Gao Long suddenly realized that the aristocratic class really It is different from the one below.

"Come on, let's take another look at the castle." Altaïr pointed to the castle in the distance and walked over.

Gao Long followed behind, observing the surrounding changes all the way. Unlike ordinary urban areas, the buildings here are relatively rare, but most of them look very luxurious and artistic.

"The two sides of here are where most ordinary nobles live." Altaïr looked at Gao Long and kept looking around.

"Ordinary nobles? Are there any distinctions between nobles?" As a successor of proletarianism, although Gao Long has not joined the party, he really doesn't know much about the bourgeoisie.

"Of course there is a big difference. For example, King Richard, he is the king of England, and William is equivalent to his minister, who can only be matched as he likes. Then there are other minister-level figures and some talents. Wealthy businessmen, most of the big businessmen are the main persons in charge of big chambers of commerce, and many of them can be called wealthy." Altaïr said a lot in one breath, as if a little tired, took He took a sip of water from the water bottle he was carrying.

Then he went on to say, "The next step is the nobles one after another who are slowly declining with power or wealth, just like the Tamir you assassinated in Damascus for the first time. He belongs to small businessmen and is the lowest noble group. one."

Altaïr said quite a lot of basic common sense, but it really benefited Gao Long a lot, these things are not mentioned in the textbooks, after all, it is the unfair class relationship that existed in ancient times, and it is very beneficial to the whole society The development of the country has only played a bad role. Now that we can know this, we can understand why the nobles look down on the common people, because they may be the efforts of their predecessors or their own efforts, and they have obtained more and more superior achievements than the common people. Resources, naturally feel superior.

Until you can reach their level, they will treat you with equal eyes, just like Abel, his psychology has actually been distorted to an extreme state, and he will set up an ambush at the banquet to want to Control this group of nobles.

That's right, it's control, not pure massacre, because no one can really remove the strength of any noble family with a long history. Even Saladin and King Richard couldn't do it. That kind of relationship group is too deep-rooted Well, if you move one person, it may not matter, but if you want to use ten people, you will involve a hundred people, and thousands of people will stop your actions.

If you insist on going your own way, then you will be branded as a cruel man, be hated by all the nobles, and finally kill yourself.

Gao Long couldn't help feeling how lucky he was to be born on the mainland of China, in such an era, there was no war or such a situation, everything was so stable, equal, and harmonious.

"Maybe we can make preparations here to assassinate William." Altaïr pointed to a group of buildings. The buildings were so high and low that it was difficult to see the real structure. It was next to the road. As long as the trap was set, then Can be used as an excellent ambush location.

Gao Long nodded, silently marked a few numbers on the system map, and then followed Altaïr to continue walking forward.

Altaïr stopped before reaching the castle, "There is no need to go any further. There should be nothing to investigate in the castle. Let's go to the liaison office first to find Raquel."

Seeing that Altaïr stopped, and then said what he was going to do now, Gao Long naturally responded.

The two of them were indeed still some distance away from the liaison office, and it was already almost late when they arrived at the liaison office.

Raquel opened the doors and saw that there were two people coming together, so he naturally welcomed them.

"Altaïr, Gao Long. How fast is your progress this time?" Raquel didn't expect that they would come back to find him in less than 2 days.

"We have done what we should do and collected the required information." Altaïr said to Raquel.

"Well, let's talk, I will judge." Raquel nodded.

"William has a huge army and many subordinates, but he is not without enemies. He and King Richard don't like each other." Altaïr explained the content of the intelligence.

"Well, that's true, but I should have already said this." Raquel wondered how Altaïr could tell such useless information.

"This is the most important point, which is very beneficial to our actions." Altaïr turned his head to look at Gao Long after finishing speaking.

Gao Long naturally understood, "I found a letter in William's office, which said that King Richard will return to Acre City to find William soon. Richard's visit will definitely trouble him. Chad leaves, and he'll go back to the castle in a bad mood. So he'll be distracted halfway, and that's when we're going to do it."

Gao Long said what he had discussed with Altaïr on the way here.

"Are you sure?" Raquel asked again.

"I can be sure that if the situation changes, we will play it by ear," Altaïr assured.

"Then I allow you to act and kill William de Montferrat, so that we can liberate this city." Raquel allowed this action, and he will record it and report it to Al Mualim.

"Okay, we will come back after the task is completed." The two were ready to leave after speaking.

"Wait, these two letters are for you, they are from Al Mualim. I haven't read the letters, so take them yourself." Raquel took out two unopened letters from the cabinet and handed them to him. Gave it to Altaïr.

Altaïr nodded and left with Gao Long.
