Pristine Forest II 35

Maria and Altaïr reached the edge of the castle, and now they are about to face the Assassins, their fellow Brotherhood. The party was hardly friendly, and when an Assassin walked past them coldly, without even saying hello, Altaïr stopped him.

"Brother, can we talk?"

The assassin turned around reluctantly, but his face was still stretched. "Why should I talk to you?" So you can use your evil props to distort my mind? ”

After saying this he ran away, and it was obvious that he did not want to say a word.

After that, another Assassin hurriedly fled in front of them. It seems that no one here wants to say a word to the former masters and the couple.

"Are you all right, brother?" Altaïr approached an Assassin deliberately.

"Who's talking to me?" The Assassin replied rudely.

"You don't know me anymore? I'm Altaïr. ”

He looked at Altaïr silently, "Altaïr's voice is empty, and you are just a small person. I'd rather talk to the wind than deal with you!" ”

They had to walk toward the castle's garden, and fortunately there was no obstacle along the way. But as soon as they reached their destination, they knew why no one was stopping them—they were suddenly surrounded by several assassins in dark robes, apparently Abbas's men, who could attack at any time! Subsequently, Abbas himself appeared on a low wall above the garden, smiling contemptuously in the face of the situation under his control.

"Let them talk," he ordered. "What are you here for?" Why are you coming back? You know, you're not welcome! Don't you want to tarnish this place again? ”

"We need to know the truth about the murder of our son!" Altaïr said calmly and clearly, "Why was Sef killed?!" ”

"So, are you here to seek the truth, or are you looking for excuses for your revenge?" Abbas responded.

"If the truth gives me an excuse, then we will use it," Mary retorted tit-for-tat.

The rebuttal left Abbas speechless for a moment, but after a moment's hesitation, he responded in a low voice: "Hand over the Golden Apple, Altaïr, and I'll tell you why your son died." ”

Altaïr nodded, glancing around, and ready to deal with the Brotherhood members around him. So he suddenly raised his voice: "Ah! Didn't the truth come to light long ago? Abbas wants to monopolize the Golden Apple, not to unlock your wisdom – but to control you! ”

Abbas immediately retorted, "The Golden Apple has been in your hands for thirty years!" Altaïr, you have already enjoyed its power and mastered its secrets! It has already corroded you! ”

Altaïr looked at the faces of those around him, and it seemed that most of them were hostile to him, and the few remaining were also suspicious. His mind sped up, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

"All right, Abbas," he said, "come—go ahead!" ”

He took out the golden apple and threw it upwards with force.

"What...?!" Mary couldn't help but scream.

Seeing the golden apple, Abbas couldn't help but be dazzled. He hurriedly ordered his bodyguard to step forward and take it away from Altaïr's thin hands.

The bouncer came over. When he stood next to Altaïr, the guy's face became vicious. He leaned into the former master's ear and whispered to him, "It was I who killed your son, Sev." Before I killed him, I said to him, this is your execution order as a father! He did not see the look in Altaïr's eyes, but instead smiled and said, "Poor Sef, before he died, he thought that his father had betrayed him!" ”

Altaïr suddenly turned to the bodyguard. The former master's eyes burned with rage, and the golden apple in his hand suddenly burst out like a new star burst.

"Aaaaa!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The bodyguard wailed in pain, and his whole body convulsed involuntarily. He clutched his head desperately, but his temples felt as if they were about to explode. It looked as if he was tearing his head off his body to make his pain a little lesser.

"Altaïr!" Mary screamed.

But Altaïr didn't hear her at all. His eyes were already full of anger. However, the bodyguard, driven by an invisible force, actually pulled out his sword from the sheath. Although he himself was desperately fighting against this force, his hands holding his sword aloft still trembled and reached for his throat, and the blade of the sword was about to pass through his throat!

Mary grabbed her husband's arm tightly and shook desperately as she cried out to her husband, "Altaïr! No! ”

In the end, her words came into play. After a few moments, Altaïr finally recovered from his angry trance. His eyes returned to normal again, and the glow of the golden apple faded back, turning into a dark sphere in his hand again.

When he struggled to break free from the force that nearly killed him, the bodyguard shook into a mess like a lost dog. However, he was soon enraged, so after a heart-rending roar, he pounced on Maria and plunged the short sword in his hand straight into her back!

He staggered back, allowing the sword to pierce deep into Mary's body. Suddenly, the entire Brotherhood's Assassins were stunned by this shock, and they were motionless like stone sculptures. Mary let out a faint cry for help, and Abbas himself was startled by the scene, his mouth moving as if he were about to say something.
