Creed of the heavens

Consus' voice gradually faded away, and Lu Xiao's spirit finally escaped the attraction of the shroud and returned to the real world.

"Lu! Are you okay?"

Seeing Lu Xiao's eyes recovering, Giovanni, Mario, and Ezio hurriedly surrounded him with concern.

Lu Xiao rubbed her temples, closed her eyes and sorted out the surprising information she suddenly obtained.

"I'm fine, just"

Looking at the shroud in his hand, Lu Xiao said thoughtfully: "The consciousness of an Isu named Consus remains in the shroud. In the next period of time, I plan to borrow the shroud temporarily and try to By communicating with him, we can obtain more information related to the Pieces of Eden and the First Ming."

Chapter 56 Mysterious call

Senior members of the Assassin Brotherhood who knew it were horrified by what happened inside the Auditore Sanctuary.

Although the function of the Shroud of Eden itself surprised many people, what was more important was the Isu man Consus mentioned by Lu Xiao.

In view of the fact that only Lu Xiao has had conversations and contact with Consus, Mario, Giovanni and other high-level officials decided to temporarily keep the Artifact of Eden in Lu Xiao's custody.

Just as Lu Xiao guessed, Dante, who was conspired by Marco Barbarigo, is also a descendant of the first Ming blood, and his being cured by the shroud is the biggest proof.

After waking up from a coma, Dante still hasn't recovered his lost memory, but his dementia symptoms have been cured.

Carlota was overjoyed by this, good memories can be recreated, and Dante's return to normal is the greatest comfort to her.

Mario, as the leader of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, naturally invited Dante, who had the blood of the forerunner.

Dante, who regained his sanity, knew that it was the Assassin who recovered his consciousness from the chaos. He agreed to Mario's invitation out of gratitude, and officially became a member of the Assassin, attached to the branch of the Venetian Brotherhood.

The Morrow family inherited by Dante has inevitably suffered some losses under Marco's control in recent years, but the family heritage is still there.

As one of the most powerful families in Venice, the financial power and influence of the Moreau family allowed them to withstand the losses of the previous years. As long as they adjusted for a period of time, they should be able to regain their strength soon.

With the support of the Barbarigo family and the Moreau family, the influence of the Venetian Brotherhood can also be greatly improved, which is undoubtedly good news for the Assassin Brotherhood.

"Are you sure you want to go to Cyprus yourself?"

"Ah."

Facing Mario's serious question, Lu Xiao also replied with a serious expression: "Altaïr's Letters are only short of the last page, and that mysterious woman intentionally left a message to lure us to follow her trace, and now we can't find her." We can only take one step at a time.”

Mario frowned and said, "Let me first remind you that the situation in Cyprus is very chaotic."

"Ottoman, Egypt, Venice, and the surrounding countries are eyeing the declining Lusignan dynasty."

"Members sent to Cyprus by other European fraternity branches commented on the situation on the island. It is like a mess. The forces supported by various countries are competing for each other on the island. No one can completely overwhelm other competitors in a short period of time. opponent."

Giovanni interjected thoughtfully and questioned: "There is another question, who is that mysterious woman?"

"Templars? Assassins? Or members of an unknown secret organization?"

Judging from the information investigated by the Venetian Brotherhood, it was obvious that the woman bought the Codex in advance on purpose.

She deliberately took away the last page of the Codex without knowing it, leaving only very little information, guiding the Brotherhood to follow in the direction of Cyprus.

"Anyway." Lu Xiao sighed and said, "Altaïr's Codex is related to the whereabouts of the Pieces of Eden and the Chamber of Secrets buried all over the world. We must retrieve it, and we must hurry up before the Templars."

When Antonio investigates a mysterious woman, he gets a not-so-good tip that the assassins aren't the only ones after her.

She also seems to have left similar clues to the Templars. The Barbarigo family was searching for her information when Marco was in power, and told the news to Grand Master Rodrigo in Rome.

The operation to seize power in Venice failed, and the local Templar forces were almost uprooted by the angry Governor Mocenigo. This is undoubtedly a great loss for the Templars.

But the Knights Templar, which has power all over Europe, has more backers.

Rodrigo dispatched additional personnel and sent ships to Cyprus from his hometown, the port of Valencia, Spain.

In the end, Lu Xiao convinced Mario and Giovanni, and Mario began to arrange ships and manpower for Lu Xiao, making the final preparations for departure to Cyprus.

Cyprus is located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and is an island country close to the Ottoman Empire. Mario arranged for the ship to depart from Venice, the water city in the north, at the fastest speed, and dock at the port of Ancona, east of Florence.

Lu Xiao didn't set off alone. Mario arranged for several assassins to go with him, including Ezio Auditore, who had just been allowed to be independent.

Set sail on this medium-sized merchant ship bound for Cyprus, and head south along the Adriatic Sea, Lu Xiao and others arrived at Crete, which belongs to Greece, to transfer supplies.

Crete is located in the west of Cyprus, and the two islands are almost on the same longitude.

After arriving in Crete, Lu Xiao suddenly had a strange feeling, as if someone was calling herself in a way that could not be described in words.

This feeling is very mysterious, similar to the special spiritual connection between Consus and Lu Xiao when they communicated.

Lu Xiao specifically confirmed that the Shroud of Eden was still tightly stored in the small box, and it was impossible for Consus to call him.

So, who is it?

According to legend, Crete is the place where the Minotaur lived.

Even Lu Xiao, who is an oriental, has heard of the legend of the Minotaur, and he also knows monsters such as the Minotaur, Cyclops, and Medusa, which are not just a legend in the world of Assassin's Creed.

At the port of Heraklion in the central part of Crete, Lu Xiao looked towards the sea to the north in a trance, and the mysterious call came from that direction.

Greece is composed of the Peloponnese Peninsula belonging to the Balkan Peninsula and more than 3000 islands in the Aegean Sea. There are countless large and small islands scattered in the vast Aegean Sea. Lu Xiao is not sure which island the call came from.

and many more.

Recalling the mysterious woman who didn't leave any extra clues in the crowd, and considering the strange call she felt after entering Greece, Lu Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and made a wild guess.

Could it be that woman lured me here on purpose?

If the original plan is followed, after a night's rest in Heraklion, the merchant ship will sail east again tomorrow until it reaches the island of Cyprus.

Under the influence of the lingering call, Lu Xiao changed her mind.

"Sira?"

Flynn, the captain of the merchant ship named Domingo, is one of the outlying members of the Brotherhood. He has lived at sea all year round and is very familiar with islands all over Europe.

Lu Xiao's question made Flynn scratch his head and think for a while: "You mean Santorini, right? Thira is the name for that island in ancient Greek."

"Uh, is that so?"

Lu Xiao really didn't know about this question.

Flynn shrugged nonchalantly: "Few people use the name Thera now, only a few local Greeks living on the island call it that."

"Santorini Island is an island ring composed of a group of volcanoes. It is said that a devastating disaster broke out on this island in ancient times, and the legendary Minos Ming died because of this."

"Whether there is really Minosi civilization, we are not sure, but Santorini has indeed experienced many volcanic eruptions in history."
