When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

In the hall with stalactites hanging upside down, the assassin leader stood on the steps, looking down at the white-robed assassin standing alone below, and asked: "Ezio, why did you let him go?"

"He is not a traitor," Ezio explained briefly.

This explanation is obviously unsatisfactory.

But after hearing this answer, the leader was not angry and asked calmly: "So, where is the evidence?"

"He was recognized by the Golden Apple. He is a person with free will." Ezio replied without being humble or arrogant, "So he cannot be a traitor."

Hearing this, the leader was still calm, but there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

"Golden apples..."

The leader took a deep breath and looked at the white-robed assassin seriously, "Ezio, we welcome you and look forward to your joining. We hope you can accompany us."

"We agreed to all your requests, helped you cover up the slave mark on your sister Yuna, arranged a safe place for you, did not control your freedom of coming and going, and did not even ask you to hand over the golden apple... ..."

"But...is this how you respond to our expectations?"

"Go and let go privately of a traitor who already has solid evidence?"

Listening to these words, Ezio was slightly moved and explained:

"No, it is precisely because I have recognized you that I don't want you to identify Altaïr as a traitor. At least according to my impression of contact with him, he will not become a traitor. And if he is a traitor, Why did he take the initiative to introduce me to the Assassin's Resistance?"

"The current resistance will be very weak, and we cannot give up any of our companions at will."

The leader sighed, "Really? So you still regard him as a companion, just because the so-called golden apple recognized him?"

"So, how should I trust you? How should I trust that so-called golden apple? Is its judgment higher than the evidence and witnesses we have found?"

Having said this, the leader paused and said earnestly:

"The most important point is that no one has seen the so-called golden apple except you and Altaïr. You are not even willing to take it out for us to take a look. How can you prove that what you said is true?" Is it true?"

"So Ezio, just as you are unwilling to fully trust us, how can I trust you?"

Ezio was left speechless by the question. He did have concerns about handing over the golden apple.

After all, it was the most precious thing he owned, and it held extraordinary significance.

With the golden apple, he can gather people with free will to re-establish a force that resists slavery and oppression, and resists the Order of Sloth.

The Assassin's Resistance seems to have inherited the will of the Hidden Ones, and they seem to be the best companions in the confrontation with slave traders and the Order of Sloth.

But Ezio would not approve of the members of the Assassin's Resistance simply based on their words.

He needs to observe the behavior of the members of the Assassin's Resistance to confirm whether they are really practicing their free will and whether they can really inherit the inheritance of the Invisible Ones.

However, Ezio did not expect that not long after he joined the Assassin's Resistance, the Order of Sloth hidden in Olin City launched a fierce attack on the Assassins.

Those forces affiliated with the Sloth Cult easily found the assassins who were covering their whereabouts, which seemed to indicate that someone was indeed betraying the Assassin Resistance Society.

In just one month, the Assassin strongholds were uprooted one after another, the Assassin brothers were hunted down one after another, and the entire Assassin's Resistance Society fell into a precarious situation.

In this case, Altaïr, who brought him back to the Assassin's Resistance, was labeled a traitor and imprisoned.

Altaïr was one of the few people in the Assassin's Resistance that Ezio truly trusted, and he did not want this mature and experienced assassin to end up like this.

But without confirming whether the other party was really a traitor, Ezio did not dare to help Altaïr without reservation.

Therefore, he could only use the power of the golden apple to test Altaïr.

As a result, Altaïr was recognized by a master of the Hidden Ones and successfully obtained the inheritance.

This shows that even if Altaïr did betray the Assassin's Resistance, it was impossible to betray the free will in his heart.

Therefore, before leaving, Ezio returned the hidden sword that Altaïr had removed after he was deemed a traitor, allowing him to escape from prison.

On the other side, the leader looked at Ezio, who had been silent for a long time, and his eyes suddenly showed a little loneliness.

"Ezio, do you know? In fact, I don't want to doubt Altaïr, and I don't want to believe that he will betray the Resistance, because he is the seed brought back by Fahd, who is the deputy leader of the Resistance. Tyr had high hopes and even gave him the Hidden Blade, the only one in the guild that represented the inheritance of the Hidden Ones."

"Fah is my friend, traveler and unwavering supporter. I also admire Altaïr very much. He has great potential. I once thought that maybe one day, I would hand over the position of leader to him. , let him shoulder this responsibility and lead the resistance to continue.”

At this point, the leader sighed.

"In fact, this day is not far away."

"Because the spell that conceals the slave mark's aura cannot last forever. At least on me, that spell is about to expire. I will be exposed to the sight of the Sloth Cult and the Slave Hunting Group like a bright light in the night."

"At that time, I will relinquish my responsibility as leader, leave the Resistance Association, and find my final destination."

"but......"

The leader's eyes sharpened.

"As long as I am still in this position, I will be responsible for the Resistance and all the Assassins. Now is the time when the Assassin Resistance faces a life-and-death crisis. Once any internal factors are discovered that may pose a greater threat to the Resistance, I will They will be eradicated without mercy.”

"These days, I have been collecting evidence to figure out whether Altaïr really betrayed the Resistance, but no matter how you look at it, the facts are always before me."

"Altaïr has come into contact with every Assassin brother hunted by the Order of Sloth. Even if he has not had direct contact, it is undeniable that there must be some kind of connection."

"I also gave him a chance to prove himself again. But as you saw, a black-robed assassin who was traveling with him died, and the other two assassin brothers were almost captured. Only he ran back. Faced with that Charge after charge, no matter what else he wants to say, no matter what he wants to prove, the facts are there, indelible."

"So Ezio, just as you are unwilling to completely trust us, you let Altaïr go and let a traitor go. We can no longer trust you."

"Unless you can provide proof, otherwise... please leave. Maybe we are not traveling together from the beginning to the end, just passers-by for a certain distance."

"But no matter what, it's an honor to meet you, the inheritor of the Invisible Ones. I hope you can really implement their will, not just empty words."

......

Laurent is not dead.

The only one who died was the black-robed assassin who was traveling with him that night.

On Central Street, Altaïr saw with his own eyes that Laurent was traveling in his luxurious carriage. His bloated figure was crowded in the carriage, making it difficult for others to notice.

So what exactly happened that night?

Now, even if Altaïr was a witness to the incident, he still couldn't understand it at all.

But no matter what, Laurent, who escaped from death, must know some news.

And the two assassin brothers who ran back after being captured, how did they come back?

These must be investigated clearly.

However, after experiencing these things, Altaïr could confirm only one fact.

The traitor is real, and he is still hiding in the Assassin's Resistance.

And what Altaïr had to do was to find out the real traitor.
