Otherworldly Architect

When the camera in the game turns, it will be [20 years later] in the blink of an eye.

After Bruno's death, due to stricter church supervision, the wizarding party had to end.

But the wizards did not give up because of this. With the help of the bluebell, they moved to a new city to continue their research.

There, the wizards elected a new leader - Galileo.

At this time, Zhou Liye, because of his excellent performance in many previous missions, is now an elite-level silver medal assassin.

Zhou Liye's main task now is not to protect Galileo from running around, but to get an astronomical telescope for Galileo.

There are still some differences with history here, because Galileo was actually born hundreds of years after Bruno...

But the game chose to make the plot more compact, which is understandable.

The astronomical telescopes of this era are basically the property of the church, and they do not allow civilians to produce and use such things, and even the production of special lenses requires a license.

In order to get this astronomical telescope, Zhou Liye worked on the task for two consecutive nights.

After going through many obstacles and sacrificing two assassins and several peripheral personnel, they managed to get the astronomical telescope and moved it to Galileo's hut.

This hut was built on the top of the mountain, and it was very hidden. The outside was full of flowers and parasitic plants, and every road was guarded by special assassins.

Every night, when Zhou Liye stepped on the winding path and slowly climbed up, he could see a faint hut and a sky full of stars.

Thinking of Galileo observing the starry sky inside, he felt as if he was on a pilgrimage.

And the task of the next stage is to escort other wizards and materials while waiting for Galileo's research.

Copernicus, Bruno, Galileo...the reason why these wizards observe the starry sky every day is to record the trajectories of some constellations. By calculating the changes in trajectories, a better heliocentric model can be established.

If one day the trajectory predicted by this model matches the observation results completely, it means that they have succeeded!

But for this, they need a lot of observations.

Copernicus left some, Bruno left some, but not enough.

Observation of celestial bodies is usually done in units of years, decades, or centuries. Some comets only appear once in hundreds of years, and each observation record is precious.

This is not the cause of one or two generations, but the mission that all wizards have passed down from generation to generation for many years.

Just like a spark, it is carefully cared for and passed down, until the right time, it can turn into a prairie fire.

Galileo was the one who took the last stick, leading his students day and night in total seclusion in a mountain hut.

During this period, Zhou Liye successively took on several side missions.

Wizards from all over the world have different observation records of the starry sky. After they learned of Galileo's news one after another, they chose to use various means to send the records.

Just like the sparks stretching, a little bit of light is dedicated from every corner of the world. Although it is faint, it is unstoppable.

It's not just Copernicus... Every ordinary night, there are countless people looking up at the sky full of stars devoutly.

But things still have a twist.

The people of the church wiped out a branch of Blue Bell Flower through traitors.

When Zhou Liye came back from his mission that day, he was almost killed by the Templar knights who were waiting for him.

He was full of anger and wanted revenge, but the first mandatory order he received from Blue Bell Flower was to save Galileo and move him and his apprentices away as safely as possible.

After this incident, Bluebell suffered a great loss, but kept silent.

Because of their forbearance, although the church began to doubt Galileo, there was no conclusive evidence.

In the end, the church decided to arrest Galileo on the charge of "illegal use of the telescope". This charge could only be fined, and the bluebell had already collected the bail, but the church held him without trial.

Without a trial, there will be no sentencing, and without a sentencing, they can procrastinate indefinitely.

From this day on, Zhou Liye began to disguise himself as a jailer, trying to sneak into the prison every day to visit Galileo.

Although Galileo was absent, his apprentices continued their research.

When the apprentices encountered problems, they entrusted Zhou Liye to carry the paper and go to the prison to connect with Galileo.

And Galileo, in the dirty and narrow environment of the cell, lit a small piece of candle that was hidden secretly every day, and continued to study secretly under the cover of Zhou Liye.

During the day, Zhou Liye took Galileo's results out again.

The final turning point was the information sent by another wizard, Kepler.

He invented a new elliptic curve algorithm, and it can fully fit the heliocentric model.

He tried his best to break through many barriers, and he sent a large amount of materials.

Like the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, the heliocentric mission has finally come to an end.

After the model of the heliocentric theory was completed, the apprentices held back their surprises and continued to observe every day.

The observations and model predictions are basically in perfect agreement!

Everyone who heard the news felt extremely excited, and even the assassins realized that the world was about to face great changes.

——Now they know that the sun is the center of the universe!The sun does not move, there is no power of gods to cause trouble in it, the earth is revolving around the sun in an elliptical orbit!

Zhou Liye immediately went back to tell Galileo the good news.

Galileo sat down dumbfounded, clenched his fists, and laughed while crying.

He took the paper, looked at it again and again with the light from the iron fence, and said, "Why are there still two decimals that don't match?"

Zhou Liye knew everything, and he wanted to say: Because this model has not taken into account the influence of gravity, it will only be accurate to a few decimal places when Newton discovers gravity and Einstein publishes the theory of relativity. ...

But he smiled and didn't say it.

Because this little spark has been passed down to the present, it is already a bright torch, but it will be passed on slowly, and countless great scientists will devote their lives to it.

This is the eternal cause of human civilization.

After that, the heliocentric theory began to spread widely among wizards.

The church discovered this at the first time, but it was too late, and they decided to sentence Galileo——

Life imprisonment!

Even if there is not enough evidence, even if the sentence is too heavy, they still ruthlessly implemented the verdict.

The day he heard the news, Zhou Liye rushed into the prison, trying to rescue Galileo, but the church had transferred him away.

Zhou Liye returned to the blue bell flower branch in a daze.

There, he met two master assassins from the headquarters, one of them patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "We will not give up every like-minded partner."

this moment.

Zhou Liye saw the hope of rescuing Galileo again.

He was still thinking: If there is such a bluebell in history, how wonderful it would be!

After thinking about it, Zhou Liye paused the game first.

In front of the audience in the live broadcast room, he couldn't help but check the information.

Although everyone in this era respects historical celebrities, most of them don't want to know their lives.Many people especially hate seeing people's names in science class, and some people say: "Knowing the theorem is enough, why should you know who discovered the theorem?"

But at this moment, everyone is watching, they really want to know the ending of Galileo.

They see:

After Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Inquisition, he never appeared again;

Five years later, he gradually lost his eyesight, and his evening scene was bleak;

Four years later, Galileo died of exhaustion and illness.

Before his death, he could not touch his own telescope, so he continued his early mechanical research.

Zhou Liye took out a tissue, wiped away tears, and said, "Blue bells! Blue bells!"

He had already lost his words, but everyone in the studio could understand what he meant.

[Assassin master is so awesome, he can definitely be rescued]

[I can't wait to travel back and destroy those templar knights! !I'm so mad! 】

[I also checked, this unjust case was not rehabilitated until more than 300 years later! 】

[I also want to have blue bells! !It would be great if it really exists, Galileo must be rescued! 】

Zhou Liye cried again until the snot bubbles came out, he finally collected his emotions and went back to continue the game.

He made some adjustments in the branch of Blue Bell Flower, and then he was assigned to the next task: to participate in the new member's induction ceremony and be her mentor.

The new member is called Vera, and Zhou Liye always thinks she looks familiar.

The assassins skillfully performed the ritual, and Vera said solemnly: [Hear my oath, be my witness: I will wear the night and walk in the silence of all things.I will have no name or surname, and I will not compete for all the honor and favor in the world.I will only believe in civilization, and never bow to the gods.We are assassins, dancers of darkness, blades of light.Only those who have no heart will live forever! 】

Zhou Liye once swore an oath like this. At that time, he only thought it was a cool-looking ceremony.

Now he has a deep feeling for the phrase "Only believe in civilization, never bow to the gods".

After the ceremony, Zhou Liye took the new members to receive her equipment.

They chatted for a while on the way, and then Zhou Liye was stunned to find out: Vera's full name is Vera Bruno, and she is Bruno's youngest daughter!

After Bruno was arrested that year, his wife and daughter have been well protected by Bluebell.

The 27-year-old Vera voluntarily joined the Bluebell Flower Organization, and is willing to contribute to this cause.

Zhou Liye couldn't bear to do Vera's side quest first, and found that she also had a family of her own, with a lovely daughter.

In the evening, Vera would tell her daughter stories and interesting stories about her parents.

She kissed her daughter's forehead and asked her, "Honey, do you know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?"

"I know, mother. Because our earth revolves around the sun."
