After looking at Baltz, Lu Qi raised his hand and said:

"The name is just a code name... Sit down."

As soon as Baltz took his seat, before explaining his purpose, he heard Lu Qi say:

"You came just in time and saved me a lot of effort..."

Chapter 237 Suspend the attack and continue the treasure hunt

Under the dim street lights, outside the train station.

After the meeting, Lu Qi stood still and watched as the carriage that Baltz was sitting in gradually disappeared into the night.

Half an hour ago, Baltz, the mob boss in Southwark, came to the door suddenly.

Without too much politeness and pleasantries, Baltz directly told Ross's plan in full.

Then, let the flow take its course and put forward the idea of ​​surrender.

Lu Qi was a little surprised by Baltz's intention.However, after thinking about it, he quickly understood the other party's behavior, and accepted Baltz's abandonment of darkness.

For Baltz who voluntarily surrendered, Lu Qi was not stingy.

He assured Baltz that he would still be in charge of the most profitable fight club in Southwark after he joined the Nighthawks.

With the guarantee from the future boss, Baltz left with satisfaction...

Just when Lu Qi was full of thoughts, Jacob, who appeared out of nowhere, quietly came to his side, and suddenly said:

"You believe what he said?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi didn't turn his head back, and responded casually:

"Why not? I've dealt with him before. He is a shrewd person. He judges the situation. It's an instinct that runs in his blood. Besides, even if he just pretended to surrender and had other plans in mind, he has no ability to do it." .”

"After all, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is nothing but imagination..."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qi turned around and left, leaving only a figure from behind that made Jacob think deeply...

. . .

No matter what Baltz thought in his heart, he fulfilled his promise to Lu Qi and publicly announced that he would leave the Mob Gang and join the Nighthawk Gang.

Baltz's voluntary surrender allowed the Nighthawks to take Southwark almost without bloodshed.

In just one month, the Nighthawk Gang took over the three administrative districts of London, Southwark, and Lambeth. The influence of the Nighthawk Gang has spread to more than half of London.

From the perspective of occupying territory alone, the Nighthawks have replaced the Thugs and become the largest gang in London!

However, just when Jacob was eager to try and kill the mob gang in one go, Lu Qi put forward a different opinion.

The rapid expansion has brought about many problems: the management of the administrative area, the absorption of manpower, and the change of the way of life.

In order to digest these newly occupied territories and make the Nighthawk Gang stronger, Lu Qi chose to postpone the attack.

Haste makes waste, whoever can have the last laugh is the real victory!

Although Jacob was a little depressed about this, he still expressed his understanding.

In the final analysis, he is not the boss of the Nighthawk Gang, at most he is the Red Flower Twin Sticks, and he does not have the power to decide the affairs of the gang.

However, he soon found himself something else to do.

From Green's mouth, I learned that Starry not only controlled the railway transportation, but also bought a bus company, intending to monopolize the transportation industry in London.

In order to prevent this from happening, Jacob intends to go to Starry's competitor, Pearl Adway, the female boss of Adway Transportation Company, to talk about business.

On the other hand, Evie, the "quiet and beautiful girl" who devoted herself to the study of ancient offerings, finally found the next clue that would lead them closer to the Holy Shroud...

. . . . . .

The moonlight is hazy, and the gentle breeze is blowing on the face, making people feel comfortable for a while.

And at this moment, two vigorous figures suddenly appeared on the roof of the building.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, running freely towards a certain destination on the roof of the building.

After a fierce chase, the two figures stopped abruptly.

A slightly joyful female voice suddenly sounded:

"This time, I won again!"

"Well, it's not too ugly to lose to my dear mentor..."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qi smiled slightly at Yi Wei who was beside him.

Seeing Lu Qi's smile under the moonlight, Evie, who had just won the parkour victory, was slightly taken aback, and then moved her eyes unnaturally.

Lu Qi on the side didn't notice Yiwei's little girl attitude, but looked roughly at the majestic tower in front of him, and asked curiously:

"The Monument to the Great Fire of London...Are you sure the Shroud is here?"

Evie, who calmed down the small waves in her heart and tried to concentrate herself, took half a step forward, pointed at the monument standing on the square, and said:

"I'm not sure, but the clue that Xian pointed to is there."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Jumping down from the roof, the two came to one of London's famous landmarks, the Monument to the Great Fire of London.

The Great Fire of London, the worst fire in London's history, took place on September 1666, 9.

The fire spread across the city, and about one-sixth of the buildings in London, Europe's largest city at the time, were destroyed.

The fire destroyed many buildings in London, including the most famous St. Paul's Cathedral.However, luck and misfortune depend on each other, and this fire also accidentally solved the plague, a problem that was difficult to eradicate.

The reconstruction project after the Great Fire of London made the British economy start to grow by leaps and bounds. The famous British writer Defoe who wrote Robinson Crusoe once said that without the Great Fire, the economy of London and even the whole of England would not have been so fast. improvement.

Therefore, in order to commemorate this significant fire, the British government sent architects to design and build this commemorative

Around the monument, the patrolmen in charge of the defense had already returned home from get off work.

This is also the reason why the two chose to come at night.

Night, always the Assassin's natural ally...

After wandering around the monument, Evie quickly found a carving on the base of the monument that resembled a mechanism, and there was a circular pit in the center of the painting.

Evie took out the small metal disc from the secret room in the basement of the Kenway mansion, and put it in the pit.

In the next second, there was a slight sound of gears turning inside the base of the monument.

According to the dedication process, Evie recovered the disc, used the rope dart launcher, and climbed to the top of the monument.

Only after a while, Evie returned to the ground with an extra ring-shaped metal block in her hand.

After raising the object in Lu Qi's hand, Yiwei smiled slightly:

"Obviously, such a mechanism can only be unlocked by an assassin..."

According to the instructions, the two left the monument and came to St. Paul's Cathedral hundreds of meters away.

"The treasure house should be somewhere here..."

Compared with monuments, St. Paul's Cathedral, the fifth largest cathedral in the world, has a more complicated terrain and more fortified defenses.

Avoiding the surrounding patrolling guards, the two used the rope dart launcher to climb to the top of the main entrance of the cathedral from the side.

Evie, who activated her eagle vision, quickly found an image of missing pieces on the pedestal behind the stone statue of St. Paul where the mechanism was located.

Put the disk and the ring metal block into the depression to form a complete image.

In the next second, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, a secret door suddenly opened in the domed building of the nave of the church in the distance!

Chapter 238 The Key to the Treasure House, Murder in the Night

After Yiwei's teaching and daily targeted practice, Lu Qi's climbing skills have improved a lot, and he has already reached the level of LV2.

Although not as calm as Evie and Jacob, at least when climbing tall buildings, Lu Qi will no longer worry that he will miss and fall and fall into a meatloaf...

Climbing all the way up the dome, the treasure hunting duo at night finally arrived at the secret treasure house of the dome.

However, to their disappointment, there was no trace of the holy shroud in this secret treasure house.

Yes, just quietly placed on a small table, a necklace with a unique shape.

Located on the pendant of the necklace is a silver cuboid, engraved with some exquisite patterns and patterns, full of mystery.

When Evie picked up the necklace and carefully looked at the pattern on it, Lu Qi teased a little helplessly:

"Ha, another clue! Can't Kenway just put the Holy Shroud, write it on a note, and stick it here, so we can see it?!"

Hearing this, the corners of Evie's mouth slightly raised, she casually put the necklace into the pocket of the windbreaker, and replied, "At least we found this before the Templars..."

"What do you think this is?"

"I think it should be the key to open a certain mechanism..."

"What's the point of having a key if you don't know what to use to open it..."

"We'll find it..."

Shrugging, Lu Qi went on to say:

"I don't care. Anyway, you will do all the work. I just come to accompany you and act as a temporary bodyguard..."

Hearing this, Yiwei frowned, looked at Lu Qi with great interest, and said pointedly:

"Huh? You mean, I can't protect myself well?"

Having known Yiwei for two months, Lu Qi certainly knows that this is a woman of the new era who does not give way to men.

This kind of very independent women especially hates the secular views of men on them.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi looked directly at Evie's green eyes, spread his hands, and explained:

"Of course not! It's just that I'm a bit machismo, and I don't like putting women around me in danger..."

As soon as these words came out, Evie was a little unexpected.

Evie began to accept her father's teachings early on, sharpened her assassin skills, and slowly grew into a master assassin.

From childhood to adulthood, her father and younger brother never worried about whether she could protect herself well.

After growing up so big, Lu Qi was the first man who worried about her and said this to her!

Feeling warm in Yi Wei's heart, she couldn't help blinking her eyes, drawing a perfect arc at the corner of her mouth, smiled at Lu Qi, and deliberately joked:

"That's what you said, if you are in danger, you have to protect me well"

Hearing this, Lu Qi bowed slightly, and gave Yiwei a gentleman's salute:

"At your service, my lady..."

I thought it was just a small joke between the two.However, what the two of them never expected was that the opportunity for Lu Qi to "serve" came so soon...

. . .

The two had just come off the roof of the St. Paul's Cathedral building, and when they returned to the square at the main entrance of the cathedral, a sudden change occurred!

Five or six carriages rushed out of the shadows suddenly, blocking the way of the two of them in an instant.

The people driving the carriage all wore black leather coats, with cross armbands on their arms, all telling each other's origins.

Knights Templar!

Seeing this, Evie, who was about to step away, was pulled by Lu Qi's sleeve and stayed where she was.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first."

Hearing this, Evie understood clearly, and was ready to fight at any time.

At this time, one of the most luxurious carriages suddenly "clicked" and the door opened.

Evie's old rival, Lucy Thorne, stepped out of the carriage with her hands behind her back.

With a distance of about seven or eight meters, Thorne greeted the two of them like an old friend:

"Good evening, Miss Frye. It's so late, and lonely men and widows appear here. I don't think you are dating at night, are you?"

"It doesn't seem to be your business..."

"Miss Frye, we're old friends. As for you..."
