The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 148 The Church of the Hidden Ones

Is that you, Giovanni?
Maria did not find a chance to say this sentence from beginning to end.

She knew that if it was really her husband, and there was really something to hide, even if she asked, the answer would be no.What's more, this man didn't stay with them for long.

It took an hour to get them safely to Monteriggioni, and the eagle man disappeared into the night alone.Greeting them after this was their next of kin, Mario Auditore.

Mario has already learned from Josh what Giovanni is going to do, and he is also very clear about some of Josh's plans.So he was very cooperative and said some things he knew and on the bright side, and he didn't say much about the others.

"If you want to know something, you can talk to His Highness Josh first, but you are the son of Giovanni, the Eagle of Florence, and the blood of the Auditore family. I believe you can do what you can, and you can also make The right decision."

After speaking he left, he was going to meet Giovanni.

He didn't know what Giovanni had said to his nephews, and if he said something different, or it was different from what Giovanni said, he would be in big trouble.

Giovanni originally planned to meet Josh, but after thinking about it so late, he decided to forget it.

Although many things he said seemed to be telling stories, he was not the only one who made up the stories, but with Josh's help, so he didn't worry about them.

As for his younger brother Mario, Giovanni knew that he would definitely come to find him, so he waited for him directly at the door of the church for a while.Sure enough, Mario came, and they left after discussing with Mario.

Giovanni has to explain to his eldest son Federico, of course, his method is also very simple, he intends to let Federico wear a mask like himself.Although this thing was a little unreliable, because he was keenly aware that Maria seemed to see something, but there was no way around it.

As for his youngest son, Pedruccio, he need not worry.

Because this kid is living with Josh now and learning magic from Josh, under normal circumstances he can't meet his brother Ezio.

The sun had just risen the next day, and after Mario had warned the Ezio family in advance, they all got up very early.After dressing up a bit, they followed Mario to the church in the center of Monteriggioni. Today is the day they came to meet Josh.

Giovanni was still wearing a black assassin robe. He stood quietly in front of the church door waiting for the arrival of Ezio and his party. It seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

When he saw Mario coming with Ezio and the others, he didn't say much, just nodded to Mario, turned around and opened the door of the church.

This church has already been refurbished by Mario and his men. Although it is not as large as those real cathedrals in terms of scale or luxury, it is unexpectedly decorated with silver and light gold decorations. It looks holy and low-key.

In the innermost part of the church, where the statue of the gods should have been placed, there was a stone chair that looked like a king's seat. On the stone chair sat a very young man in a black robe. He looked at his group lightly.

"Your Highness."

Just when Ezio was thinking about who this young man was, his uncle Mario and the man in black named Igor directly lowered their heads and leaned forward slightly, while putting their right hand on the left chest towards this The young man saluted, which stunned the Ezio family.

This young man is the Highness that Igor and Mario mentioned?

This result caught Ezio and the others by surprise, but their good family education calmed them down quickly. At the same time, they also saluted Josh, even though Josh looked about the same age as Ezio, maybe even smaller.

"No need for that, Eagle, and Mario."

Josh waved his hand casually, and soon they felt an invisible force dragging them up.

However, Giovanni and Mario looked calm. This kind of thing is simply normal for His Royal Highness, but it is not that simple for Ezio and the others.

Ignoring their expressions, Josh stood up directly and walked towards Ezio.To be honest, he hasn't carefully looked at whether this Ezio is more like the one in the movie, or close to the classic image in the game.

But after looking at this guy carefully, Josh didn't know how to evaluate it.

It's not that he's not handsome enough, he's handsome enough, otherwise it's impossible to make Florence's famous beauty Christina fall in love with him, but this guy is a little different from what he imagined.

"Probably, except for the scar at the corner of the mouth, and the lack of sufficient fortitude. It is more in line with Ezio's image."

Josh can only comment in this way, but think about it.

When Assassin's Creed II was produced, it directly used the same face of a generation of Altai plus Desmond.In fact, when Josh was playing, he was still a little surprised why this happened.

But it's fine if you get used to it, but he thinks his father Giovanni is more handsome.

However, Ezio in the middle age seems to have changed a lot, especially in the CG of the Apocalypse, following in the footsteps of his predecessors, Ezio of that era made Josh absolutely worthy of the word handsome.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that, let's just treat it as a movie version. Maybe the Animus function was not working at that time, so you can only project your own face?"

Josh touched his chin, and simply stopped thinking about these things.

Anyway, no matter how much you think about it, you can't change anything. It's better not to think about these messy things. Besides, it's not a big deal. If you really want to see the face of the old pervert in the game, Josh can do it.

I just don’t know if this Ezio is willing or not.

Probably because he felt that he was staring at him for a long time, Josh quickly reacted, and then said with a slightly regretful face:
"Sorry, I lost my temper. I just thought of something else, Mr. Ezio Auditore, I am sorry for what happened to your family. By the way, my name is Josh. Welcome to Monteriggio Ni, welcome to the Church of the Hidden Ones."

The Church of the Hidden Ones, this name is purely due to Josh's lazy cancer, or a combination of problems such as difficulty in naming, and finally named his church this name.

But Josh doesn't care. Anyway, in the Marvel world, he also serves as the leader of the League of Hidden Ones, although he has basically never shown up.

"Thank you, Your Highness Josh."

Ezio hurriedly bent down to express his thanks. Although His Royal Highness named Josh was a little lost just now, he seemed to be remembering something.

In line with what he said just now, Ezio also thought that he was recalling and regretting his father's departure, which made Ezio feel a little better.

As for the Church of the Hidden Ones, he had never heard of it.But he also thinks it is very normal, just like the name, they are a group of secretive people.

As Giovanni's son, if his father hadn't died, he wouldn't even know that his father was working for such an organization.

"So what are your plans for the future, Ezio."

After greeting and comforting Ezio and his family, Josh asked directly.In fact, Josh can take it slowly, such as slowly letting him come into contact with some things, and then subtly influence him.But Josh didn't want to do this.

And Josh is very familiar with and understands Ezio's plan, although he doesn't know if he still wants to take his mother and sister to escape to Spain.But in the original book, Ezio stayed at Monteriggioni in the end, because the trouble he caused caused Monteriggioni to also suffer.

But it was different now. Although he didn't know exactly what Giovanni did, he believed that Giovanni would definitely teach Vieri a profound lesson when he came to hunt down his son.

Josh can't guarantee whether Vieri has the guts to harass this place, so he can only take the initiative.

"Future plans?"

Ezio was also taken aback, he didn't know how to answer this question.

In fact, if Vieri hadn't chased him down yesterday, he planned to rely on his uncle to stay in Monterigioni, but last night, facing that situation, he hesitated.

But one person changed all that, and that was Eagle.

The person who claimed to be close friends with his father, and also had a very good relationship with his uncle, let him see things that he couldn't believe in the past. He had never seen anyone face him ten times more easily. Enemy, but also to solve them all.

This time, his heart changed.At least, he felt that he and his family were absolutely safe in Monterigioni, and he found that the organization his father had worked for seemed to be bigger than he thought.

He had a feeling that his father's death might not be that simple.

Monteriggioni has his own uncle, and his father's best friend, if Ezio wants to get asylum, this is the best choice.And if Ezio wants to continue revenge, this is the best choice.

As if he had figured everything out, Ezio quickly made up his mind and raised his head resolutely to Josh and said, "I hope to join you."

"Really?" Josh nodded, and then asked, "Are you doing it for revenge?"

"Yes." Ezio was very calm.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Josh, I actually don't know you well. Just like your names, you are a group of hidden people. I didn't even know that my father was working for you. But I hope you can accept me. "

"I long for revenge, my heart is burning, and I hope to gain the same ability as Mr. Igor."

Speaking of this, Ezio paused for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly: "At the same time, I also hope to follow in the footsteps of my father. He is willing to be loyal to you, to the Church of the Hidden Ones, and to dedicate his faith. There must be him The truth, so I also hope that I can continue to pass it on.”

"."

Josh rubbed his brow, he felt as if the joke was too big.

Although Giovanni is wearing a mask, Josh can definitely imagine the wonderful expression under his mask. Giovanni followed him after he almost died. Although he agrees with his ideas and is also the most loyal person, but There is no such thing as belief.

But Josh didn't hesitate, but nodded appreciatively and said, "I'll leave it to you in the future, Eagle."

Turning around, Josh left here directly.

To be honest, he didn't expect that his meeting with Ezio would cause such one-sided embarrassment, and it was done in front of his father who he thought was dead.

But Josh doesn't care that much, the matter is over, let Ezio continue to grow, let's talk about other things later.

"Huh? I remember Ezio's first girlfriend. It seems that I thought Ezio would never return to Florence and got engaged to someone else. Can I still rewrite this tragic story?"
