Creed of the heavens

Although Giovanni was very painful at the betrayal of his best friend, as an assassin with firm belief, he adjusted his mentality as quickly as possible, and shared the information obtained from Uberto's house with the Florentine Brotherhood.

"Uberto and the cabal often meet in the sanctuary in the basement of the Church of Santa Maria Novella."

Giovanni gritted his teeth and blamed himself: "The party has been held secretly countless times, but because of my trust in Uberto, I have never doubted him. This is my negligence."

Lu Xiao had obtained relevant information from Giovanni before, and Uberto would go to the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella to attend mass by himself every Sunday.

Paula waved her hand indifferently and said, "Giovanni, skip your self-examination first, and get back to the topic."

"Have you found out the identity of the cabal member?"

Giovanni glanced at Paola gratefully, nodded solemnly and said: "Basically, it is clear that apart from Uberto and Jacob, Francesco and Vieri of the Pazzi family, it is expected to participate in subverting the United States. There are 4 more members of the cabal ruled by Tiki."

"Antonio Maffei, Francesco Salviati, Bernardo Baroncelli and Stefano Bagnone."

The cunning fox Lavolpe rubbed the corner of his eyebrows with a headache: "They are all people with a lot of energy in Florence or Tuscany. I know Bernardo better."

"My thieves have long since found out that he was secretly smuggling some weapons into the city while he was the banker of the Patch family, but he did not expect that he was actually a member of the Templars."

"In addition, Bernardo also goes to the Basilica of the New Virgin to have a mass every Sunday. It seems that they used this opportunity to meet secretly."

"Sunday" Giovanni clenched his fists and said resolutely: "We must have more information about this conspiracy group, at least we must know when and how they plan to subvert the rule of the Medici family."

At this time, Lu Xiao stood up and said: "Leave this task to me. Recently, I found a secret assassin's mark on the outside of the Basilica of the New Virgin, which is exactly the same as the mechanism I found on the top of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore. It is very likely that it is also a secret agency."

"I speculate that this mechanism should be connected to the secret passage into the underground assassin's tomb of the New Notre-Dame Basilica."

"Oh?"

La Volpe said with some surprise: "What a coincidence, my thieves also found the assassin's mark disguised as a skull."

"I have the same opinion as Lu. The assassin's tomb under the Basilica of the New Notre Dame should be connected to the basement of the church. We can send people to sneak into the passage to search before the Sunday, and maybe we can eavesdrop on some important information in the tomb."

Under Lu Xiao's volunteer application, Giovanni agreed to his proposal.

Accompanied by Lavolpe, the two came all the way to the secret agency of the Santa Maria Novella.

"Click"

Lu Xiao pulled the skeleton in the same way, and the reorganized skull carving turned into an assassin's mark, and a secret passage leading to the underground was revealed amidst the sound of the mechanism running.

Lavolpe patted Lu Xiao on the back and promised: "Don't worry, go in, the thieves and I will help you look after the way out."

"Everything in the tomb is unknown, you must be vigilant if you sneak in alone."

Lu Xiao showed her thumbs freely: "No problem, I will leave my back to you, don't let anyone find out about this secret passage."

Chapter 28 The Plot of the "Spanish"

"Oh!"

After jumping into the secret passage, Lu Xiao squatted down to cushion the impact of falling from a high place.

Under the action of Leap of Faith's passive skill, the 3-meter drop only caused a small burst of numbness in his legs, and he soon returned to normal.

This passive skill is indeed very useful, but it is a pity that it is only E-level, and the damage reduction is still relatively small. I don't know when it will be completely immune to falling damage from high places like that demigod who is full of Malaka.

Different from the tomb design of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which hangs high on the dome, the Assassin's tomb in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella truly conforms to the concept of "catacombs".

There are dense bones in the upper and lower tombs on both sides of Lu Xiao's landing point. It seems that this place was indeed used as a tomb in the past.

The area of ​​the entire catacomb is very large. Lu Xiao opened many organs along the way and proceeded cautiously. It took more than an hour to reach the final gate of the tomb.

On the keepsake stone plate taken out of the sarcophagus in front of the statue, a hand with a Hidden Blade is carved.

It represents the first person in history to wield the Hidden Blade, the owner of this cenotaph, the ancient Persian Assassin Darius.

According to the old rules, Lu Xiao casually fished out a few pieces of precious metal jewelry from the buried property, and left the rest to Lavolpe's thieves to follow up.

While harvesting the second assassin's token, Lu Xiao did not forget the real purpose of this infiltration operation.

In the passage leading to the main tomb when he came, Lu Xiao found a small window through which he could peek into the basement of the church.

With the help of the rations that had been prepared, Lu Xiao spent the night in this tomb with poor air quality, and finally waited for the conspiracy group's meeting on Sunday the next day.

In order to avoid being discovered, Lu Xiao hid on the side of the small window and quietly observed the participants from the corner of her eyes.

Presiding over the meeting was one of Lorenzo Medici's advisers, Jacob, the oldest of the Pazzi family.

The patriarch of the Pazzi family is completely different from the sullen and vicious Francesco and Vieri, and looks very refined.

At the beginning of the meeting, he repeatedly stated that it was an irrational decision to assassinate Lorenzo, and hoped to meet with the "master" in person to persuade him to change his plan.

"enough!"

A bloated fat man sternly stopped Jacob's complaints: "The plan to liberate Florence was drawn up by the master himself, Jacob, do you want to disobey the master's order?"

"No no no, of course not."

Jacob's character is relatively soft, and he immediately bowed his head and confessed when he was yelled at: "I just hope that Lorenzo's rule can be overthrown in a more secure way. If the assassination fails, it will be almost impossible to get another chance. "

"Stupid! Short-sighted! With the influence of the Medici family in Florence, if we can't kill them with a thunderous blow, how long will we have to wait to overthrow them?!"

Lu Xiao squinted Uberto Alberti as she looked at the fat man who was fighting against Jacob. The betrayal was really complete. I didn't expect you to be the most radical person in the cabal.

Francesco returned to San Gimignano ahead of schedule. The violent Vieri did not contradict Jacob because of his seniority. Uberto, who was eager to avenge the Medici, refuted Jacopo mercilessly. Cob's lukewarm thoughts.

Gentle by nature, Jacob, who doesn't like to fight with others, doesn't plan to spittle with Uberto anymore. He looks at Vieri and shifts the topic aside.

"Vieri, has the Maestro reached San Gimignano yet?"

On the surface, Vieri saluted Jacob thoughtfully: "Yes, uncle, the master is temporarily living in seclusion in the city of San Gimignano under the hospitality of his father."

Oh?

The corner of Lu Xiao's mouth curled up. The experience of laying the floor in the tomb was finally not in vain, and she successfully obtained the exact whereabouts of the "Spanish man".

"Okay, I will ask Lorenzo for leave in the near future, and try to find time to return to the territory."

"Tsk!"

Uberto was too lazy to continue arguing with the mother-in-law Jacob, and with the character of Master Rodrigo, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to Jacob's proposal.

Without Uberto's interruption, Jacob began to show his administrative skills as Lorenzo's adviser.

"Bernardo, how is the weapon ready?"

A fat man with a happy face replied with a smile: "It is basically in place, and the plan will be launched after the master gives an order."
