I didn't know you were such a vampire

Qiaoya never thought that she came to Florence to escape the summer heat, but one night, she squatted by the small river outside Florence, surrounded by the fire with two other middle-aged men, listening to their Started a quarrel without nutrition.

She woke up from the chaos and didn't know where she was. When is it now? After her vision changed from blurred to clear and she could see the surrounding scenery clearly, she wrapped the thin blanket covering her body tightly. Tightened, dawdled under the body, and moved a little closer to the fire.

A few orange-red sparks flew out of the fire, and flew unsteadily into the night sky. Her eyes moved up with these sparks, and saw them dimly extinguished in mid-air, and she didn't know where they fell.

"Joya? Joya?"

After calling several times, she slowly came back to her senses, turned her head a little stiffly, and looked at Ricardo who was sitting not far from her.

This night Ricardo was quite unfamiliar to Joya. When Joya first met him, he was an ordinary middle-aged man who looked kind and funny in the summer wearing an ivory white and gold silk-trimmed Haubred robe. The young man, although he is a nobleman of the Florence City Republic, is full of the affinity that the Vatican residents lack the most.

At that time, Joya's first feeling was that she was not at all like a free and wild man who could conquer Martina.

At this time, Ricardo was wearing a plain white robe, the cuffs and waist were tightly wrapped with leather products, looking clean and neat. There was a water bag hanging from his waist, and a hood was attached to the clothes. Covering the upper half of his face in the shadows.At this time, he was not like a banker full of money, but more like a mercenary who used violence as a tool of livelihood.

And sitting next to him was Ezio Auditore who was dressed in the same outfit as him and had a relationship with Joya once.

"Gioia, do you feel better now?" Ricardo asked.

Qiao Ya wrapped the blanket around her body and nodded: "It's better, it's not so cold anymore."

"That's good." Ricardo smiled.

At this time, Ezio said: "Riccardo, don't you ask why your girl is lying on the roof of your house in a mess?" He smiled, with some malicious intentions in his tone, "You simply don't know how anxious Ricardo was when we found something unusual on the roof and climbed up, but saw you unconscious on the ground. In order to avoid being discovered by other Totti family members, we brought you to Here, there are blankets and a fire, so I'm afraid you won't wake up."

Qiao Ya was taken aback.

The vampire's ferocious eyes and Caius who angrily tore the vampire into pieces flooded into his mind again, leaving her in a state of confusion for a moment.

At this moment, Ricardo had already turned his head and said to Ezio: "Girls always have things they don't want to tell others, Ezio, I thought you should know that you have such a rich love history."

Ezio leaned on his waist with one hand, laughed loudly, and then lifted the hood on his head, revealing short dark brown hair and slightly rebellious eyes, but at this time, there was a smile in his eyes, and there was A bit of a prodigal son.

After he finished laughing, he said to Qiao Ya: "Hey, little girl, do you know that Ricardo is always gentle and easy to talk to others, especially when he first pursued your mother?" Well, the most romantic and affectionate young man in Florence can't compare to him. But he is so fierce when facing me." He paused, nodded again, and said to himself, "Oh, to carry out the assassination It’s even more fierce during missions.”

Qiao Ya's eyes widened when she heard the "assassination mission", while Ricardo had already lifted his hood and looked at Ezio seriously: "Ezio!"

Ezio raised his eyebrows: "Look, the little girl's eyes are straight."

He simply stood up, walked slowly to Qiao Ya, and sat down on the ground with a crisp movement, keeping a distance that was not too close but not too far from Qiao Ya, with his right arm and elbow resting on his leg, and the back of his hand propping his chin , smiled and said: "Actually, I have always known that you would jump out of the window of the room almost every night, and then climb to the other side of the room, squatting in front of Martina's window. Not only I know, Ricardo also knows After all, he climbed to Martina's window along this route more than ten years ago."

Qiao Ya stared at him for a while, then shifted her gaze to Ricardo again.

She didn't know that she had overturned so many times in Florence.

"Haha, don't be nervous." Ezio laughed, "Actually, this is a very common thing. When Ricardo and I were young, we and my brother Federico used almost the same way all over the rooftops of Florence. Do you know the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore?"

Joya nodded.

"I often climb to it." Ezio said, "The dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the highest point in Florence. I can climb up to the dome along the lintels and window sills of the church windows, and then... ..." He opened his arms, like an eagle flying against the wind, "That's it, jump down."

Qiao Ya blinked her eyes: "Not dead?"

That is a dome more than 100 meters high.

"..." Ezio turned his head to look at Ricardo, "Hey, Ricardo, your little girl thinks she saw a ghost."

Ricardo chuckled a few times, and took a stick to poke under the firewood. Countless sparks rushed out from the more intense flames and flew into the night sky.

"I won't die." Ezio turned his head and looked at Qiao Ya.The flame danced, reflecting half of his face with a hard outline, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a kind of firmness, "As long as you have faith, you will never die."

Qiao Ya nodded: "Catholic?"

There will always be devout Catholics in this world who think that as long as there is Jesus in their hearts, they can live forever spiritually.

Ezio, on the other hand, looked at her with a stiff face, and turned his head to look at Ricardo after a while: "Riccardo, your little girl is even more difficult to communicate with than Martina."

Ricardo laughed and said, "You speak so mysteriously, it's no wonder Qiao Ya can understand."

"Okay." Ezio turned his head back, looked at Qiao Ya, and said, "Then let me say it bluntly, this is a skill that only us assassins can master. After conquering the highest point of the city , jumping down, but will not die, and can enjoy the impact of the wind and speed comfortably."

Qiao Ya's eyes lit up instantly.

"Look, Ricardo." Ezio turned his head, "Is your family raising a little girl or a little boy?"

Ricardo put the stick that poked the fire by his side, and said with a smile: "Gioia, our Totti family, and the Auditore family where Ezio belongs, apparently live in Florence. A century-old noble family, but in fact, these two families have been assassins for generations." He looked at Qiao Ya and said, "Your mother also knows about this."

In the middle of the night by the small river in the suburbs of Florence, two middle-aged men in strange costumes sat in front of the fire and told Qiaoya, who was under fifteen years old, about the profession of assassin.

It is not so much a profession as a group of people with a common belief.

This assassin organization has existed since ancient times. It was called the Liberty Society in ancient Rome, and it was called Hasassin during the Middle Ages. Before the formation of the group, at least in 500 BC, there were people who believed in Assassins. Appeared, it can be said to have a long history.

They all have the same vigorous skills, they can climb over urban obstacles like walking on the ground, and they are also proficient in various fighting skills, and what they are best at is how to quietly assassinate the target.

Ricardo and Ezio are about the same age, and they both run family banks in Florence, so they naturally became acquainted with each other. They have often run wildly in the streets of Florence since they were young. It can be said that no matter the streets of this city Or the roof, have their footprints.

They took it for granted, thinking that every boy could easily climb the wall and house, until something happened to the Auditore family, Uberto slandered Giovanni Auditore for treason, and Ezio died before his father was executed. Climbing up the tower of the Lord's Palace overnight, his father was telling him the family secret: Auditore and Totti have been assassins for generations, and he, his eldest brother Federico, and Rica of the Totti family Most of them were trained as assassins without knowing it when they were young.

When Ezio mentioned the deceased family members, the unruliness and smile in his eyes faded a little, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I crawled into Ricardo's room in the middle of the night in the clothes of an assassin and told him At the time of this incident, he still did not believe it. At that time my father, elder brother and younger brother had passed away, and the whole of Florence was looking for me. He wanted to drag me out of the window and hide me in the darkroom of his father's study. ..." He smiled, "We found his father's assassin clothes in the darkroom of the study."

"I became an assassin out of desperation. At first I didn't recognize this identity. I only used all assassin skills as a tool for revenge." Ezio looked at Ricardo, "That guy is different, he is understanding Volunteering to join the organization after having read all of Assassin's Creed."

Qiao Ya looked at Ricardo following Ezio's gaze, and was a little curious about what Ezio said would make Ricardo, who usually looks gentle and good-tempered, voluntarily become an assassin. What is the so-called Assassin's Creed?

At this time, Ezio and Ricardo seemed to have understood all of Joya's thoughts. Ricardo looked at the golden and red sparks rising from the fire, and said in a deep voice: "When everyone else is blindly pursuing the truth time, remember—"

Ezio replied: "Everything is false."

"When other people's minds are bound by law and morality, remember—"

Ricardo paused, and said together with Ezio: "Everything is allowed."
