People are in the moon, The Sims

Chapter 57: Rest in peace, angry soul

The contemporary Hassan looked at the young man in front of him and sighed softly.

He could see that the sparkle in this young man's eyes was different from that of Hassan in the past. Although he was also protective and determined, it seemed to be something more than them.

As a result, this child is not so suitable to become the next Hassan, but he has also taken this child on the road of assassination. Of course, whether this child will give up in the future is another matter. A wandering Does that adult have any thoughts about the assassin who was born in the sect outside the country?

Hassan felt a little silent for a moment, and then there was a touch of determination in his eyes. As the teachings of the sect said, the child in front of him was a mountain man. In this case, he was within the scope of his protection.

Every child in Mountain Village is his own junior. As Hassan, as the head of Mountain Village, this child is still under his protection.

My day is coming soon, probably no later than this year... When you see that adult, please ask for a favor for this child.

It was also at this time that a pair of claws like monsters passed through the stone gate, and the third person who passed the final test finally appeared. It was the little lunatic who had made a lot of modifications to his body.

At this moment, the eyes were filled with bloodlust in excitement, and then they became a little more paranoid after seeing Hassan wearing a skull mask.

"Haha...Hahaha!! I succeeded!! I am the qualified one, and I have passed this only way out!!"

The little madman smiled and took two steps in the direction of Mr. Hassan, "Me! Can I succeed Hassan? I can definitely bring order to the world and the village!"

Mr. Hassan stared at the boy in front of him with emotionless eyes. Various modifications to his body have caused the body to lose its basic human shape. Even wearing a black cloak, it is taller than a normal person and can accommodate so many monsters. , endured the rejection reaction, to a certain extent, this kid is also a talent.

But it is a pity that the guy in front of me is not suitable to become Hassan. So many monster bodies will inevitably cause oppression to the original body. Even if he passes the assessment, he may not have a few years to live. In just a few years, Time, once again start the Hassan assessment...

In the words of that country in the far east, it harms the peace of the world.

After all, every Hassan selection will cause a lot of bloodshed and death. If a Hassan had not really reached the point where he could no longer hold on, he would never take the initiative to start this selection.

The mountain people also have beliefs, and they are not an organization that just creates butchers to assassinate enemies and make money.

In addition, another reason is that although the boy in front of him talks about bringing order to the world, at the same time, he cannot hide the murderous intent and resentment that soars into the sky. There are people who cannot even hide their emotions. What qualifies to be Hassan?

This is what Irlan wanted to say. Looking at this little madman with that paranoid face, Irlan really couldn't bear the anger in his heart, so he came directly in front of him, raised his right hand, and fiercely Grabbing the little lunatic's face and pushing down hard at the same time.

With a loud noise, the little lunatic's head was smashed to the ground by Irlan, "Succeeding to Hassan's position? Bringing order to the world and the village? What a joke!"

When it comes to who has killed the most "comrades", the lunatic in front of him who has changed his body into this state definitely deserves the honor.

After Irlan was forced to use death to bring peace in the battle, the guy in front of him who transformed his body was the first to take action, using a black dagger to directly disembowel the person he was fighting.

If you want to say who Ilan hates the most in the entire selection, it is the guy in front of him.

"Your whole life has been filled with violence and impulse. Even now, your eyes are full of murderous intent. How can you talk about rationality and order?!"

Hassan glanced at Irlan, and a smile appeared on his face under the mask. Sure enough, the child's own creed had already taken shape in his heart, but it would be even more of a pity to miss a good talent.

If this child becomes Hassan, and suddenly feels that Hassan's mission is inconsistent with his own ideas, and chooses to resign from Hassan's position and work alone, I am afraid that what he will receive is a blow hidden in the darkness from the adult.

As long as this child does not become Hassan, there is still room for relaxation. The contemporary Hassan old man also believes that the adult's eyes must have been watching all this, and the current lack of action should be acquiescence.

Hassan believed that the adult had wisdom far beyond theirs, and that he was also a destined person. The child in front of him also had a destiny. The adult would not embarrass the child.

"As the kid said, you have no right to be Hassan."

If there is no creed of his own in his heart, no... Strictly speaking, if his creed is self-interest, it will only be a disaster for such a person to become Hassan.

After hearing such words, the movements of the little lunatic who felt angry because he was hit on the ground paused for a moment, and then unimaginable anger and distortion appeared on his face with an obviously dull expression.

"What are you talking about!! In order to get to where I am today, I gave up so much! I endured so much pain!! I even turned into this inhuman and ghostly appearance just to reach the only path you told me! And now You told me that I am not qualified, what a joke - ah! These two people must be your chosen successors, in that case - "

A scorpion tail lifted up from behind the little lunatic, and then stabbed Ilan directly.

Ilan twisted his body to the side, then raised his left hand, and the steel claw was launched outward again. After controlling the steel rope to wrap around the scorpion's tail a few times, it was firmly embedded in the ground, with the two sides tightening. , locking the entire tail in mid-air.

Then he raised his right hand and quickly slashed it towards the throat of the little lunatic in front of him. The hidden sword hidden in the sleeves ejected outwards, and a cold light reflected the first ray of sunlight peeking out of the mountains in the distance.

"May death bring you peace, unknown sad soul, rest in peace."

Sliding his fingers, Erlan closed the boy's eyes full of anger and hatred.

Chapter 58: The Rising Sun

Ilan looked at the corpses on the ground. In his heart, he actually felt that Hassan's selection was too cruel. After learning about most of the world's classics, he understood that although the Old Man of the Mountains sect belonged to Islam, it was opposed to anyone other than himself. The faction's teachings further advocate that they are the maintainers of justice in the world.

Because he also grew up in such an environment, Ilan himself actually recognized the need to maintain the existence of justice in the shadows of this world, to remain unknown and to watch for a long time.

But my idea of ​​keeping watch in obscurity for a long time was different from the old man in the mountain's idea of ​​becoming famous.

No matter how you say the sect of the Old Man of the Mountain is Islam, how can this kind of doctrine, which is relatively domineering and outstanding in terms of overall concept, allow the Old Man of the Mountain to remain unknown? The Old Man of the Mountain is also a manifestation of promoting their ideas.

It's just that the more domineering the existence, the easier it is to encounter terrifying backlash. Now the Old Man's Order in the Mountain can still be firmly fixed on this hill like a nail, balancing the strength of the countries, but if one day it appears An existence that even all kingdoms cannot stop, the Order will also come to an end at that time.

This is also true. In less than 100 years, the iron hooves from the eastern steppes will sweep across Asia, and even the religious orders will be overwhelmed by the vast army.

But this is already a long way off for Irlan.

Ilan has a very weak concept of faith. This is also very clear to the contemporary Hassan. At the same time, Hassan also understands that this child is much more mature than he looks. In fact, Hassan has never thought about the training of an assassin. The process allows the child to change his or her beliefs and views.

Hassan never thought that a person with a gift from heaven could be easily changed by assassin training. This was almost like saying that the adult's belief could be easily changed.

Hassan raised his head and looked at the rising sun. His eyes were like an elder looking forward to the younger generation's growth. In Hassan's eyes, Irlan was the rising sun. It was just how far this child could go in the future. Well, I'm afraid he can't see it.

Hassan took out two iron masks from his pocket and handed them to the boy and girl in front of him. From this moment on, the two people in front of him were assassins recognized by the old man in the mountain.

"Want to go home and see?"

Hassan's words reached his ears, and Irlan looked at the mask in his hand and shook his head slightly.

"Now I am an assassin. From now on, I will walk in the darkness, and I will still walk in danger in the future. In this case, it is better for my parents not to meet each other, because we only need to go through what happened many years ago. That parting."

And in this long period of time, the long river of time and the wind and sand will slowly wear away the longing of my parents for me. After all, it is very common for a person to die in this era. Too many people have lost their lives in this era. When grief becomes the norm, grief should not remain in the heart for too long.

The girl on the side thought for a while and put the mask directly on her face, then patted her chest, "In that case, I won't go back. Besides, after leaving the training ground, it's not suitable to continue using the number, right?" , then please call me [Yanzui] from now on, it’s such a happy decision.”

The girl, perhaps she should be called Yanzui now, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and quickly hid it under the mask.

After becoming an official Assassin, life did not seem to have changed much. It was a little different from what I had imagined at the beginning. The Old Man of the Mountain Order would also assassinate Islamic beings, and even their current sponsor was from Jerusalem. Baldwin IV.

Of course, this monarch from a different sect provides them with help. In fact, he also hopes that the old man in the mountain will contain other Islamic countries. After all, the contact and exchanges between countries are in their own interests.

The reason why the Order accepted missions and assistance from Baldwin IV was actually because other Islamic countries regarded them as heretics. The conflicts and struggles between religions were far more terrifying and bloody than imagined.

According to intelligence, Saladin, the hero who wants to directly unify the Islamic world, is currently opposed to the sect. Therefore, it is normal for the current sect to help Baldwin IV temporarily resist the Sultan of Egypt. We all live in reality, so we must be realistic when doing things. If you are too naive, you will not live long.

In such an era, most people who hold innocent dreams end up drowning in their dreams.

After becoming an assassin, there were not as many missions as expected, and the targets of assassinations were only some humble generals and wealthy people.

Of course, these generals and rich men are either secretly colluding with Saladin, or they are funding the anti-sect forces. In fact, Saladin is not wrong. After all, as a hero, he cannot let an assassin who may threaten him The organization existed in such a grand manner, not to mention that it was a heretical existence in his opinion.

The current opposition between the two sides is nothing more than different positions.

In fact, summer has passed, and autumn has brought a bit of coolness to this area. Irlan was walking in the town, holding a few apples in his hand, and he took a bite, and the sweet juice was accompanied by the pulp. Filling his mouth, a happy smile appeared on Erlan's face.

I spent many years eating only dried vegetable cakes and water in the training ground, and occasionally eating barbecue. Now it is rare to be able to move freely. Of course, I have to taste the delicious food in the world to make up for my regrets. As for why I don’t wear a mask on my face. On the show, Irlan said that he still relied on this face to make a living. He separated Irlan and his work as an assassin.

It's just Ilan who is walking in the city now. When the mask is on his face, he is the assassin who walks in the darkness and buries all his feelings in his heart.

It's just that Zuiyan is a little different. She always wears the mask on her face. If she didn't occasionally want to smile at others, I'm afraid she has imitated Hassan and fixed the mask firmly on her face. Bar.

If this were the case, Irlan would lament that a beautiful face would be hidden in darkness forever.

He threw the apple core in his hand under a tree and gently shook his hand to clean up all the water drops and juice on his hand. Ilan turned around and walked into a hotel. Under the sign of the hotel A somewhat abstract skull mask pattern can be vaguely seen.

Chapter 59: Heading to Egypt

Intelligence is of course the key to the Order being able to stand for more than a hundred years. What's more, if you want to complete the assassination, you need sufficient intelligence. Of course, the Order of the Old Man in the Mountain also has its own department for collecting intelligence. , perhaps it is not so accurate to call them departments. They are the people of the mountains themselves.

After coming down from the mountain, these mountain people will enter various countries to conduct trade, or open a shop of their own. While supporting the entire mountain village and the religious group, they will also inquire about some information for the religious group, and integrate the information of many people. Intelligence, the old man in the mountain can get a considerable part of the information.

As for the remaining bits of information, it wouldn't take long for the old man in the mountain to inquire about it himself.

At this moment, the hotel store that Irlan entered was a store owned by the people of the mountain. It was also a large intelligence collection point for the religious group. Naturally, he came here to obtain this mission and related information.

Arriving at the counter, Erlan took out the wooden carving that the mountain people usually used as amulets from his pocket, and at the same time asked for the most special room. Once these two conditions were met, the owner of the hotel basically knew The people who came here were assassins from the Order, not to mention that Irlan secretly showed off a corner of his iron mask.

Under the triple guarantee, Erlan can be sure that the hotel owner understands what he means.

Irlan went directly to the room. When dinner would be delivered later, the information would naturally be delivered to him. According to the habit of other hotels, it would probably be sandwiched in the bread again.

After a while, the food was delivered to the room by the store manager himself. In order to avoid others' suspicion, the store manager put down the food and left the room without communicating.

Irlan started to solve the puzzle game with great interest. First he opened the bread. Very good, there was no note in his bread. Then he opened the meatloaf. Well, there was no note in the meatloaf either.

Ilan set his sights on the milk cup and found a secret place to pour the milk away. Sure enough, a white wax ball appeared in the wooden cup. He took out the wax ball and crushed it hard. A specially processed The paper to be processed appeared in the palm of his hand, and he opened it gently. The task this time was clearly on it.

"It's troublesome. We actually have to go to Egypt. This trip will take more than half a month at the fastest speed. It's a dusty mission."

Maybe it’s because of the suffering he suffered when he was a child. Now Ilan still hopes to enjoy a better life. But now that the mission has arrived, it is necessary to complete the mission. It just so happens that he is going to Egypt this time and buys some local specialties as gifts. Let that girl get drunk.

He put the specially treated note in his hand directly into the flames, and the fire quickly devoured it. The words "Alexandria" could still be seen in the firelight.

The next step is to travel thousands of miles to this well-known port that has existed for hundreds of years, and it is rumored that the tomb of Alexander the Great is here. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the emperor's face.

I shouldn't be so lucky.

Well, I just got a rare freedom, so I let myself go even more. Ilan often thinks about such incredible things in his heart now.

After all, anyone who has been on the sidelines of such a bloody training ground for several years will try to regain their good mood after gaining freedom.

Ilan gently took out the iron mask from his clothes and covered his face. The cheerful aura on his body disappeared without a trace, and his whole person seemed to be hidden in a shadow. Just like here, just standing there will not attract the attention of others in the first place. He is as quiet as a ghost in a different world from others.

Now the usually smiling Irlan has been hidden under the mask, and what is revealed to everyone is the assassin!

Gently pushing the window open, accompanied by the sound of wood creaking, a gust of wind blew through the room, and there was no one left in the room.

Just by pushing open the wooden window and making a sound, Irlan had already blended into the crowd. Even if he was dressed so weirdly, he would not attract anyone's attention.

[It would be strange if someone would discover it. Putting aside the basic secret techniques for now, among the techniques taught to us by Mu Mian-sensei, there are techniques to reduce one's own presence. 】

[The skill of reducing one's own presence is the best among all of us, but as someone who has successfully passed the trial, I am definitely not bad at it. Of course, this is only for ordinary people. 】

[If we are facing a so-called magician, or going to a more tightly guarded area, we will also need to use some magic methods. 】

[Acquire skills: Breath Interception B]

Every time he enters such a state, Ilan will feel that he is more special. He is like a shadow walking in history, a ghost walking among the crowd. It seems that he can pluck himself out of the human collective and look more rationally with another perspective. view all this.

Irlan didn't know if other people felt the same way, but at least he felt good about himself.

After leaving the town, Irlan directly used all his strength to rush towards Egypt. After a while, he came directly to the port, quietly hid among the goods, followed all the goods, and took the ship towards Alexandria. heading in the direction.

It has to be said that the Sultan Saladin who currently rules Egypt is indeed a heroic figure. He has the ambition to achieve great things. At the same time, he also understands that by doing so, he will naturally offend many people and the country. During this period, I am afraid there will be Various forces sent assassins or spies into the country of Egypt to search for some information.

Therefore, the intensity of control and search of the entire port was indeed far beyond imagination. After the ship docked, Irlan stuck his head out, observed the patrol mechanism of the entire port, and watched many soldiers heading towards the warehouse where he was. He walked forward without hesitation, quietly retreated, and then submerged into the water without making any splash.

From the surface of the sea, even Irlan's dark shadow under the water cannot be caught.

Just kidding, as one of Hassan's candidates, even if he is not currently the number one assassin in the world and is only ten years old, he is definitely among the top ten assassins in the world today.

It would be better to say that now my age and petite body have become me. When becoming an assassin, it is another advantage. After all, age is also a weapon that can confuse others, and a short figure is suitable for hiding and sneaking. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is yourself. Strength and endurance are weak points.

Chapter 60: Which one’s tomb?

Although these patrolling soldiers can be killed one by one at this time, it is not necessary. To a certain extent, they are also innocent people. If there is a war, these soldiers are just pushed onto the battlefield. A being who serves as cannon fodder and a sharp blade. Even if he really wants to assassinate a being of this level, there must be something serious wrong with the soldier himself.

It is also Yilan's code not to attack innocent people without any reason.

Killing these patrolling soldiers cannot prevent the king of a country from launching a war, and killing these soldiers will also expose yourself. If the bodies are found or someone goes missing, it is not telling others nakedly that an assassin is coming. This area.

Hiding his own breath, he kept moving between the goods, as if he was hidden in the swaying firelight and shadows. A gust of wind blew by at night, and the two patrolling soldiers couldn't help but shake their bodies and complained, As expected, it is almost autumn, and the wind on the seaside actually brings such a cool feeling.

The two soldiers didn't notice at all that a shadow flashed behind them.

Now that he has entered the mission state, of course Irlan has not taken a good look at this city with its strong smell of fireworks and bright lights. Although he has never been to this city, although this city is extremely prosperous and has different beautiful scenery, there must be some. It has special delicacies and specialties that you can’t see in your hometown.

But let's wait until the task is completed before enjoying it slowly. Ilan likes to do the opposite.

Generally speaking, after an assassin carries out an assassination, he will immediately leave the mission area. While ensuring his own safety, he must also tell his employer the information he can complete as soon as possible.

Irlan is different from those assassins. In the entire sect of the Old Man in the Mountain, although he is not very old, his status is definitely not low.

He has an iron face, which means that he is Hassan's candidate and is only one step away from Hassan. Strictly speaking, Irlan himself can be the one who issues the task. If he is not too young, If the people in the sect don't feel comfortable letting Irlan make the decision, there is no need for Irlan to run such low-level tasks at this time.

People in the sect are still worried that if Ilan makes the wrong choice, the interests of the entire sect will be harmed. Regarding such an idea, Irlan just curls his lips, and he is not a real brat. head.

If there is another reason, it is probably jealousy. After all, he and Yanzui have obtained such rights and status at a young age. Jealousy is human nature, not to mention that those who are not envied are mediocre. If you are not envied, , Ilan might even pout his mouth and find Mr. Hassan to complain about.

Looking at the city wall surrounding the port, Ilan's arm hidden under the cloak gently lifted upwards, and the hook was launched outward. With a slight sound and the pull of the mechanism, Ilan quickly Flying towards the city wall, he turned around and his whole figure was hidden in the darkness again.

But this time he has left the port and entered the city.
