[Assassin's Creed] How to tame the Italian cannon king

This time, after handing over the two children to Federico, who rarely had anything to do, Anastasia followed Ezio to Leonardo's studio.

After some discussion, Leonardo agreed to let Ezio use the aircraft he developed for a test flight. After all, it is really rare to meet a volunteer who is not afraid of death and will not tell the truth.

So the next day, before the first light of the sky illuminated the eastern horizon, several people had already set up the flying machine on the flat roof of the Count's Palace in Pesaro.

"Thank God, there's no one around. If anyone saw this, they wouldn't believe their eyes - if they knew it was my invention, I'd die."

"I'll be there soon," Ezio said.

"Try not to break it," Leonardo instructed.

"It's just a test flight," Ezio replied. "I'll be measured. Tell me again, how to handle your darling."

"Have you ever seen a bird flying?" Leonardo asked him, but he obviously didn't expect Ezio's answer, so he continued on his own, "The important thing is not to be lighter than air, but to be lighter than air." It's grace and balance! You have to use your own weight, control your height and direction, and these wings will carry you forward!"

Obviously, both Anastasia and Ezio, as well as Federico, who watched the fun together, thought that there was no difference between saying this sentence and not saying it.

But the excited Leonardo only patted Ezio on the shoulder, "Good luck, my friend. I'm about to write history—at least that's what I expected."

Ezio nodded heavily, but still pretended to be relaxed and calm and looked forward.Anastasia was not particularly worried about this test flight, since it was Leonardo's invention after all.And with Ezio's current skills, even if any accident happened, it would be more than enough to deal with it.

Federico jokingly said: "If you fall into a pool of meat sauce, you can completely get rid of that little devil Cecilia."

Anastasia glared at Federico angrily, but Federico, who didn't get the "special treatment" from Cecilia like Ezio, looked away, whistled, and pretended nothing happened look.

Anna stepped forward and said in a flat tone, "Ezio, believe in your own abilities. I want to go back to sleep early."

Being played by Federico's gag, coupled with Anna's calm tone.The anxiety in Ezio's heart also faded a lot. He nodded at Anna, took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and ran to the edge of the roof.

When his feet left the ground, his heart sank first, and then he felt a strange sense of pleasure.The whole of Venice spread out below him. This kind of perspective is completely different from the leap of faith. That kind of satisfaction is rarely seen in his life.

Only now did he vaguely understand why Leonardo had such a deep obsession with flying.If you don't experience this feeling in your life, it is really a loss.Although Leonardo himself probably only cares about whether his invention is successful.

Recalling Leonardo's explanation about the "joystick", he successfully maintained the balance of the aircraft and guided it to fly back. Several figures in the distance slowly zoomed in until he could clearly see the aircraft he was familiar with. the faces of those people.When he landed on the roof again, he took a few steps forward—and used all his strength and dexterity to keep the craft balanced.

"Almighty Christ! It's a success!" Leonardo yelled, helped Ezio to untie the lanyard, and then hugged him enthusiastically, "You are amazing! You flew up!"

This scene obviously reminded Anastasia of the word "gay in gay". Fortunately, Ezio returned safely, so she didn't worry about this little thing anymore.

Even though she knew what was going on and thought she didn't care, the moment Ezio actually jumped, she felt her heart almost stopped beating.

For a fear of heights, the visual impact of this kind of thing is enough to make people uncomfortable.Even when it was time for Ezio to fly back smoothly, she was afraid that Ezio would not grasp the height properly, so she covered her face on the palace wall of Pesaro Palace.But obviously, Ezio's protagonist halo did not disappoint, and the tragic ending imagined by several people did not become a reality.

"Yeah, for God's sake, I flew." Ezio gasped, "just didn't fly as far as necessary." Running out.

After everyone worked together to disassemble the aircraft and move it back to Leonardo's studio, Leonardo began to find a way to solve the distance problem.However, after a long calculation, there was no answer, until Anastasia, who had been sitting by the fireplace warming the fire, suddenly said, "Leonardo, come and see this!"

Anna threw a piece of discarded manuscript paper into the fireplace. After the manuscript paper burned to ashes, it rose instead of falling.

"That's it!" Ana and Leonardo looked at each other and nodded, leaving Ezio and Federico in a daze to watch the two play riddles.

At this time, Antonio hurried over, "Ezio! Sorry to bother you, but this matter is very important! My spies reported that Silvio had obtained the poison they needed and gave it to Gerry Mardy!"

Ezio was impatiently standing up to deal with the matter, but Anna held his shoulders and sat back on the chair.And Leonardo found a map of Venice and spread it out on the messy table.With a pencil in his hand, he leaned towards the map, marking the route between the Pesaro Palace and the Doge's Palace, and marked the key point between the two buildings with a swastika, "Antonio!" He shouted, "Can you arrange for your men to prepare bonfires at each place I mark, and to light them one after the other in order?"

Antonio looked at the map. "I think we can do it—but why?"

"Don't you understand? That's Ezio's flight path, and those lit bonfires will provide buoyancy for my flying machine, allowing him to fly all the way to his destination!"

"What about the guards?" Ezio asked.

"Leave these to us!" Federico nodded to him, "In any case, some of the guards should be busy elsewhere. We learned a few days ago that there is a ship from a country in the far east— —the ship called China—has just arrived in Venice with a load of queer colored powders in little round tubes. God knows what it is, but it must be worth a fortune, for they take that cargo quite seriously."

"Fireworks." Anna murmured there.

Even for a brief moment, Ezio caught a glimpse of the complex look in Ana's eyes.But this time is obviously not the occasion for detailed questioning, so he just kept this matter in his heart.

At dusk, Ezio and the others started their own operations, and Anastasia was sent home first.After all, no matter what the result is tonight, Venice will probably be in chaos, and her physical strength really can't support staying up late for two consecutive days.

Because Cecilia and Silvio didn't see her yesterday, they were extremely clingy today.She braced herself and told a story to the two children. In the end, Silvio probably saw his tiredness, and obediently pulled Cecilia to say good night to her, and told her to have a good rest.Seeing Silvio's appearance and Cecilia's unwillingness to obey her brother's words, she smiled and extinguished the candle, and fell asleep uneasy.

The operation that night failed, and Ezio fled home in embarrassment after covering his tracks.Brought back Grimaldi's papers and another ancient tome page.Although he killed Grimaldi, he did not prevent Doge Mocenigo from being poisoned to death.

The strange bird that appeared in the sky on the night of the Doge's death caused serious commotion in Venice, but Leonardo's flying machine caught fire when it crashed in Piazza San Marco, and finally burned to ashes.

During this period, Marco Babaig was formally elected as the new Doge of Venice and took office.Ezio was also the most wanted man in Venice for the murders he accused of murdering the republic's noble public servant Carlo Grimaldi and the old Doge.Guards from Babaig's house and the Governor's Palace were present on every street corner and patrolled the canal day and night.

Under the advice of Federico and Antonio, Ezio took Anna and two children to hide in the headquarters of the Thieves Guild. It can be said that there is no gain.Even Anna and her two children fell into this kind of hiding situation.

Fortunately, none of them felt uncomfortable, and Cecilia even expressed great interest in the rare new environment, so she was much more peaceful than before.But this instead made Ezio feel a little uneasy, like the calm before the storm.

Facts have also proved that his premonition is really very effective.

The author has something to say:

I was missing for two days because I went to liver mutiny...

It ended inexplicably, and I was so drunk...

The Moringen has not been strengthened yet, and in the end, just kill the baguette father? ? ?Cleared? ? ? exm? ? ?

It feels like a good subject was wasted, Shay should have deserved a more nuanced portrayal.

And I can't accept the killing of Adéwalé! ! !In the end, Achilles was spared. Is this to keep him to raise Connor so that he can kill his new boss? ? ?
