The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Don't get excited, madam, I just came to see my friend, I just saw him come in."

Zelin seemed to be relieved when he heard the person behind the bookcase.

"Oh, what's your friend's name?"

"Ezio, Ezio Auditore."

"He's still here, come here, just don't knock the book over, I don't want to clean it up again."

Thousandth 269 chapters Sophia

Zelin cautiously walked around the bookcase and saw a lady wearing a light green dress with beautiful dark red curly hair. She held a book to her chest. The light brown cowhide cover gave Zelin a glance. I recognized the identity of this book.

The secret crusaders of Nicolo Polo.

It was the book that Ezio brought with him when he came in.

"I'm Sofia Salto, guest..."

When Sophia spoke, Zelin was carefully looking at the bookstore and the lady in front of him. He noticed Sophia's cramps. The demon hunter looked back. He noticed the place he was looking for. The bookcase on the back of the bookstore was pushed. Open, exposing the wall behind. A gap was opened in the wall, just enough for an adult to bend down and walk down. The light is very dim, so that the steps leading down from behind the gap can still be seen.

"I guess my friend must have gone in."

"Yes, he said that this is the old trading house of the Polo family, and then he fumbled out the secret door."

Zelin walked to the secret door and squatted down. The secret road was dark, the spiral staircase blocked his vision, and he could only see the dim corners.

"How long has he been down."

"Half an hour, it's unbelievable! In the decades since my father opened a shop here, I never knew there was such a secret road in this house. Who is your friend? He? How did you know this kind of thing?" Sophia’s words were full of surprise, no fear, just surprise at the unknown. The trapdoor was engraved with a special pattern. Zelin knew that this was the logo of the Assassin Brotherhood. In other words, all of this is unknown, unknown and ancient.

"When he comes up, you can ask him again." Zelin shook his head without explaining too much. He himself is a visitor from another world, how could he explain the secrets of this world to the locals.

Zelin was just paying attention to the secret road. Sophia walked back and forth a little at a loss. This is her bookstore, but now it seems that she has seized other people’s things. Some people know more about this place than she is familiar with. It made her feel very uncomfortable, as if the bookstore that had been living for decades had suddenly become unfamiliar.

"Wait."

Zelin stretched out a finger, and the sound of pacing stopped abruptly.

"What's the matter?"

"Someone is coming up."

Zelin put his hand on the hilt of the sword, staring at the dim corner of the spiral staircase. Sophia was a little unsure, so she walked over with a candle, stood behind Zelin and leaned forward to see what's inside. Her ears couldn't hear the sound that the demon hunter could hear, but she stepped on the slate. The bang on the stairs was particularly obvious to Zelin's ears, the rising breath was unstable, and his footsteps were heavy and light. He didn't know what Ezio would encounter below, even in the dusty old place for many years.

After all, there can be a group of cultists hidden in the tomb with a history of thousands of years underground in Rome, not to mention the secret roads of Constantinople.

The steps were getting closer, Sophia didn't think too much. "Ezio is back? What can he find in it? When was this built?"

In fact, there is no deviation from the facts.

"Zelin, give me a hand."

Ezio, dressed in grey, appeared at the corner, waving his hands to disperse the mosquitoes that appeared around him from time to time, while grabbing the edge of the steps and preparing to climb up. There was almost a one-meter drop between the first and second steps. Zelin stretched out his hand, grabbed the black gloves of the assassin instructor, and pulled him up.

"What are you doing down there? Rolling in the swamp?"

Zelin rubbed his hands and patted the stained plaster in Sophia's unkind eyes. Ezio also slapped his clothes, and immediately raised a cloud of dust. He smiled awkwardly, and smiled at the original owner Qian, "Sorry, I'm sorry, let's go out and talk."

"It's okay, I'm going to get a basin of water, you really feel like you are rolling in the mud." Sophia's mouth twitched slightly. "Oh, by the way, your book." She handed the Secret Crusade to Ezio. "I'll be back soon."

Seeing Sofia's leaving back, Ezio stretched his mouth, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"So happy to find something?"

"There are a lot of things hidden in this old business building of the Polo family." Ezio put a smile on his face, and there was a trace of seriousness in his words. "The Templars are one step ahead of us. This secret road leads to a drainage channel under the city and a huge secret room. The Byzantines must have found other entrances to the merchant house. We must speed up. The Templars know the possibility. It's more than we expected."

"More?"

"And this." Ezio took out what he had been holding tightly in his hand, and he wrapped it in the hem of an assassin's robe. When he exposed the contents, the knowledgeable Zelin couldn't help but pick it up slightly. He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth slightly with a surprised expression.

This is a stone plate, no more than ten centimeters in diameter. The stone plate is thin and has sharp edges, and the material is as hard as obsidian. There is an exquisitely lubricated round hole in the middle of the stone slab, so that the person holding the disc can just put his finger in and hold it firmly. The surface of the disc is engraved with precise and complex lines, and the white light like the sun flows between the lines. When Ezio took out the disc, the dim corner of the bookstore was immediately illuminated, and the shadows were as rapid as summer snow. Subside. Zelin stared at the disk closely, among the messy but orderly lines, numbers, eyes, and strange geometric bodies seemed to float outward.

Illusion, but extremely real.

Sacred. Zelin could only think of this adjective. Scorching sacred.

"...What is this?"

"Key." Ezio's performance was not much better than Zelin. He looked at the disc in his hand with complicated eyes. There are still four such discs hidden in the city of Constantinople, which can be used by such keys. What kind of secrets are hidden in the closed library. Altaïr kept the Golden Apple for decades, and Zelin suddenly found that his imagination was still lacking in the library he built. Ezio sighed.

"I hope to find the enlightenment of the master in the library."

At this time, Sophia came over with the tub, and she saw the white disc in Ezio's hand, and she screamed, and the water tray in her hand almost slipped from her hand. "God bless, what is this?"

"Key, Sophia. You have read a lot of books, help me take a look at this map."

Ezio spoke to Sophia defenselessly. This made Zelin raised his eyebrows slightly. He was surprised that this assassin instructor would say these things directly to a woman so unsuspectingly. Judging from Sofia's previous performance, she and Ezio were not old acquaintances in the past. , Maybe just a nodding acquaintance. How many reasons can one person lay down his guard against another person and share secrets?

Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose and pushed back on the secret door behind the bookcase.

This is the private matter of others.

The first thousand two hundred and seventy chapters are inevitable

A map.

The key locations hidden in various places in Constantinople are marked on it. Zelin just glanced at it and realized that most people couldn't understand this map. This is not a simple map, but a bunch of codes and pictograms, which record the orientation of the remaining books of Nicolo Polo, and among those books, there is the whereabouts of the keys to the Masyaf library. Regarding the key that had been found, Ezio decided to put it in the headquarters of Galatia. After the last attack, the assassins stepped up their guard near the headquarters. It is absolutely safe to store the key there.

While Ezio and Sophia were discussing how to decipher the secrets in the map, Zelin held the stone plate in both hands, carefully examining every striped road on it and the looming symbols. If someone tells him that this is a magic artifact, he will definitely not have any doubts, but will seriously ask that person what the magic artifact can do. But there is no magic in this world. He only saw the most basic alchemy and the ubiquitous so-called science, as well as good knowledge of herbal medicine. There were such strange items in this world, which made him feel surprised.

This may be some kind of more mysterious magic.

Sophia is passionate about the unknown and ancient things. She quickly found the notebook and the large reference book, ready to uncover the secrets hidden in this map. This search was very rewarding for Ezio, and it was less than noon. It is estimated that they could still feel near the racecourse to help Yusef who was preparing to attack the stronghold.

"A very nice woman, isn't it?"

"With Sophia's help, we can crack the secret of Kaipollo map as soon as possible."

"Yes, the map of the Polo family, and the treasures hidden in this city. Ezio, if you wait for you to open the library, do you still need this kind of key?"

"What's the matter?"

"If you no longer need these keys, I want to take one as a souvenir."

He wants to take it back and let Francesca see if he can find something valuable, whether it’s technology or magic application, even if the research fails, it may be used as a good castle decoration. .

"No problem, when I open Masyaf's library, the key will be given to you. You don't look like a person short of money now. Have you bought the manor there?" Ezio's eyes slightly With a smile. "I remember when you were in Rome, you wanted to split a gold coin and use it as two. Wouldn't you want to sell the key as a piece of art?"
