"Really? How do I feel that my mentor taught me well, otherwise I wouldn't have progressed so quickly."

Hearing this, Evie was delighted in her heart, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Under the moonlight, that smile looks extraordinarily beautiful...

The two chatted freely while walking freely on the roof of the building, and gradually became familiar with each other.

When she was about to return to the Whitechapel area, Evie, who was curious in her heart, paused, and still asked the question that lingered in her mind:

"By the way, Alex, what device were you using just now?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised the leather gauntlet on his left hand, pointed at the black technology rope dart, and explained:

"Oh, you mean this rope dart launcher? This is a mechanical device that a scientist friend helped to install. For a half-assed assassin like me, it is a great help."

"Can this device be produced? If all assassins have such a device, then the speed of moving and climbing will be qualitatively improved!"

Looking at Yi Wei with a serious face, Lu Qi shrugged, and then said:

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll introduce you to him some other day, and ask him to get one for you, as well as Jacob."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort..."

. . .

Back at the hiding place on the train, Green was still burning the lights at night, analyzing and categorizing various intelligence.

Seeing the two, Green couldn't help but put down his work and greeted them:

"Hey, you're back safely! Did you get anything?"

Yi Wei and Lu Qi looked at each other, the latter smiled slightly and raised his hand as a signal.

The sensible Evie immediately told the old Indian brother what happened that night.

Among them, teaching Lu Qi climbing skills is not included.

After finishing speaking, Evie handed the Assassin's Notebook to Green, "...that's how it happened, I think there should be a piece of Eden in it."

After taking the notebook and putting it on the desk, Green began to look it up carefully by the dim light on the desk.

After a while, Evie, who couldn't wait, asked:

"How about it?"

"You may not have found the Pieces of Eden, but this notebook is very precious."

After all, Green pointed to a paragraph on a broken page, and said a little excitedly:

"Look! It's recorded here that the London Assassins found the Holy Shroud..."

Evie leaned over to the desk and involuntarily read out the words:

"...The Shroud of Eden can heal the worst of wounds...if the Assassins do find such a thing, Father will know."

"We must be missing something...perhaps only an assassin can see..."

Whispering, Evie's eyes narrowed, and the assassin's sixth sense, that is, eagle vision, suddenly activated!

In the next second, Lu Qi noticed that Evie's green eyes suddenly turned into a piece of silver, which looked strange and mysterious.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Evie exclaim:

"There! These look like a direction guide!"

However, from Lu Qi and Green's point of view, they didn't see the "directional guidance" that Evie saw at all.

Evidently, Evie had just used the assassin's unique ability "Eagle Vision" to see the secret message left in the notebook by another assassin with Eagle Vision.

In the world view of the Assassin's Creed series of games, human beings, including the Templars and Assassins, are all products of the Isu. To put it bluntly, they are descendants.

Different from humans, the Isu have a triple-helix DNA structure, have a longer lifespan and stronger physical fitness.

Moreover, the Isu also have one more sense than humans, which is the so-called sixth sense.

The human descendants who inherited the blood of the Isu also inherited this ability to a certain extent.

And eagle eye vision is actually a manifestation of a sixth sense.

According to the blood concentration and growth environment, each assassin possesses different eagle vision abilities.

Generally speaking, eagle eye vision allows the owner to see through without being affected by obstacles, find various secret messages, detect heartbeats within a specific range, locate and mark targets, and even predict the whereabouts of targets.

However, not every assassin can possess this special ability.For example, the Indian brother on the side, even if he is very good, he doesn't have eagle eyes...

Picking up the torn piece of paper with the "direction guide", Evie turned around and walked towards the door of the carriage as if she couldn't wait.

Seeing this, Lu Qi hurriedly called out to her:

"Evie! Where are you going?"

"Uh, I'm going to find the Holy Shroud!"

Seeing Yi Wei's look of "the question you asked is a bit silly", Lu Qi couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded:

"I understand how you feel, but it's late now, let's take a rest and go treasure hunting tomorrow, shall we?"

"However, if we go too late, wouldn't it be a pity for the Templars to find the Holy Shroud first?"

"How can there be such a coincidence, the Templars are also human beings, and they also need to rest. Besides, in case they find the Holy Shroud first, we can also snatch it from them, can't we?"

Lu Qi's way of thinking was beyond Yiwei's expectation.

She was only preoccupied with finding the Shroud by avoiding conflict with the Templars, but never thought about what to do if the enemy got the Shroud first.

However, after being reminded by Lu Qi, she also knew that she had acted too hastily, so she turned around and said:

"Okay, you're right, let's go tomorrow..."

Chapter 226 The Jackdaw, the Necromancer Edward

The next day, in the morning.

After Lu Qi and Evie enjoyed the delicious breakfast provided by the hotel, they drove a carriage prepared in advance and set out to search for the Holy Shroud.

Since the Whitechapel area has been brought under the control of the Nighthawk Gang, the streets are full of Nighthawk Gang members, and the Fry siblings, who don't need to hide their whereabouts, are also temporarily settled in the "House of Bells" hotel by Lu Qi.

Originally, the Frye siblings still wanted to live on the train, but Lu Qi persuaded them with the excuse of "living close together and having someone to take care of them".

It was also last night that the Frye siblings met the Woodburn siblings who lived with Lu Qi for the first time.

After Connor's explanation, the Frye siblings knew the warm story between Lu Qi and the two siblings.

For Lu Qi's kind deed, the Frye siblings were immediately in awe of this foreign visitor from the far east.

When he is down and down, he can still be a helping hand and help the weak. How can such a person not win the respect of others? !

This little episode gave Jacob, who was unruly and secretly thinking about how to defeat Lu Qi, a new idea.

Losing to such an opponent doesn't seem to be ashamed...

. . .

The streets of London are bustling.

The voices of newsboys hawking, the voices of gentlemen gathering to discuss political affairs, and the voices of weak women in cake skirts whispering...

Sitting on the driver's seat of the carriage, Evie withdrew her curious gaze, turned her head to Lu Qi who was sitting beside her, and said:

"London and Crowley are completely like two different worlds..."

"Two different places in the same country have such big differences. I'm curious what your country will look like..."

Faced with Yiwei's curiosity, Lu Qi, holding the rein in his hand, didn't know how to answer.

Could it be that the men there all wear ugly long braids, are hungry every day, and are servants of the corrupt government?

Perhaps it was the sudden silence that caused Evie to misunderstand something.

Evie thought he was unwilling to recall the tragic past, so she quickly apologized:

"Sorry, I didn't mean to mention your past..."

"It doesn't matter, the past is over, I only know that I am living a good life now, that's enough."

After all, in order to change the subject, Lu Qi immediately asked, "Speaking of which, where are we going now?"

Hearing this, Evie took out the paper with the secret message from her pocket, "I carefully checked the directions on the paper last night, and I think this map will lead us to the Kenway mansion!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi felt a little familiar:

"Kenway?"

"Oh, yes, Edward Kenway, a master assassin and pirate more than 100 years ago, his deeds are also widely circulated in the London Assassin Brotherhood..."

It wasn't until Evie said that name that Lu Qi belatedly remembered who this "Master Assassin and Pirate" was.

As the saying goes, on the Jackdaw, the Necromancer Edward!

That's right, this Edward Kenway is the protagonist of the Assassin's Creed Black Flag game, the captain of the legendary pirate ship "Jackdaw"!

Lu Qi has played most of the entire Assassin's Creed series of games.Although I can't remember the plot clearly, I still remember the protagonist of each game quite clearly.

Altaïr, Ezio, Kenway, Arno, the Frye siblings, Cassandra...

He didn't expect that the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Syndicate sitting next to him could have a fantasy linkage with the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

This gave Lu Qi a sense of dislocation in time and space...

. . .

According to the directions on the paper, Evie steered the carriage, starting from the Whitechapel area, passing through the city of London, all the way south.

"What do you know about the Holy Shroud?"

"I asked Lord Green, and he told me a lot. It is rumored that the holy shroud can cure all diseases, and it is also rumored that it can bring the dead back to life. But according to the past records of assassins, this is not true. Moreover, it Never been in London..."

"That is to say, we can't have too much hope for the Kenway mansion?"

"That's not true. Edward Kenway has traveled around and visited many places, but in his later years, he still returned to his hometown of London."

"So, I think it's very likely that he found it. What's more, even if he finds the Holy Shroud, he will keep it secret."

While speaking, the carriage finally arrived at the Kenway Mansion in Lambeth District.

It was a large mansion surrounded by guardrails, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters. On the arch at the main entrance of the mansion was a miniature version of Edward Kenway's Jackdaw!

Apparently, this master assassin and pirate of the last century saved a fortune for his family in that turbulent era.

However, what surprised Lu Qi and Yiwei was not the value of the mansion, but the fact that someone already got there first.

Looking at the thugs guarding the mansion and the Templars in black, Lu Qi could not help but smile apologetically at Evie beside him:

"It seems that someone is a little faster than us..."

Seeing the enemy first, the two did not act in a hurry, but got out of the carriage, came to the park opposite the mansion, and observed the mansion from a distance.

While the two were discussing how to sneak into the mansion, a luxurious carriage parked at the main entrance of the mansion attracted their attention.

Walking out of the carriage compartment was a brown-haired woman wearing a top hat and dressed as a Templar knight.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Evie immediately called out the woman's identity:

"That's Starry's confidant, Lucy Thorne!"

"It seems that even without the notebook, they found the whereabouts of the Holy Shroud from those research materials."

Touching his chin, Lu Qi followed the conversation and speculated:

"Judging from this battle, they probably haven't found what they want..."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qi turned his head to look at Yiwei, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal:

"My lady, is it our turn?"

Hearing this, the corners of Evie's mouth twitched, she also raised her hand, and said with a light smile:

"you first."

"Then I won't be polite..."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qi walked towards a homeless man sitting on the ground at the corner of the park.

From Evie's point of view, Lu Qi just said a few words to the other party and gave the other party something, and the other party stood up happily and walked towards the main entrance of Kenway Mansion.
