Qin Fei asked: "I remember hearing someone say last night that it was the No. 2 person in the Russian mafia who was killed by you?"
” Eric poured the wine down his throat, a burning sensation sliding down his esophagus and into his stomach.
Placing the glass on the table, Eric said, "That's right, his name is Vera Ivankov Alexakovich, and the last deal I took was to go to St.
Petersburg to kill him."
However, I missed, and I also lost my brother Larson.
I was swept away by the rules of my assassination organization, but I kept looking for Vera and killed him not only for my personal honor, but also because he killed my brother Larson. ” "Did you join my mercenary group for revenge?"
The old fish suddenly remembered that Eric had joined on his own initiative, and there must be some connection between this.
"Hmm."
Eric didn't deny it: "I'm sorry, old fish, I've been following Vera for a long time, and even paid a lot of money to find someone to hack into his private mailbox and find out his whereabouts, this guy will be there every year in the fighting tournament of the beast camp, and I know that this training camp is owned by Robert, and every year the mercenary team under his company will come here to participate in fighting tournaments or rest training, so I need to join Robert's protector company to provide protection for myself in this capacity." ” Lao Yu sighed and said: "You are also well-intentioned, in order to get close to the goal, you even dare to join the mercenary group, are you not afraid that you will die on the battlefield before Vera herself is approached?"
However, I also have to admit that if you want to enter the beast camp without attracting the attention of others, the identity of a mercenary is indeed a good shield. ” Eric apologized: "Old fish, I didn't deceive you sincerely, I did it to keep it secret, there are some things that you know as little as possible, what's more, I don't want to leak the news, the previous mission failed, so far I don't know what went wrong, so that the rumor was leaked, Vera almost set a trap waiting for me and Larson to drill, otherwise with our skills and experience, it is impossible to fail." ” "Larsen, your brother, is dead?"
The old fish asked.
Eric frowned painfully, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice: "That's right, I am not related to Larsen by blood, but we are closer than brothers, we both belong to the Holy Cross Brotherhood, which is a secret underground assassination organization with a very long history in Europe, and the people who can find us to take over the mission are some dignitaries and heavyweight tycoons, and the danger of the mission is also the highest level." ” "Larson and I are both orphans who were adopted at an early age by the head of the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross, the adoptive father of both of us.
The Brotherhood of the Holy Cross is ostensibly an organization of monks, but in fact it is an ancient assassination group that has its roots in the oldest Assassin group, the Assasin. ” Speaking of which, Eric looked at everyone.
"Has anyone heard of Assasin?"
Assasin?
For Qin Fei, this name is of course very familiar.
During his college years, Qin Fei, like all young college students, played games, including the famous single-player game Assassin's Creed, which is said to have elements of Assasin.
Moreover, Qin Fei's biggest hobby is reading, before he became a soldier, he could hold almost any book and read it for a day, especially preferring military and history books.
Among them, for Assasin, Qin Fei knew that in many literary masterpieces, there would be more or less a few words of introduction to this organization and related people.
For example, Jin Yong once mentioned this organization in the novel "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and another famous book that mentions Assasin is "The Count of Monte Cristo".
This is definitely an old Assassin Order.
"I haven't heard of it."
The crosshair shook his head.
Qin Fei said: "I know about this organization, but I thought it no longer existed in this world. ” "It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just going underground."
Erik's face flushed from the effects of the alcohol, which calmed his nerves and brought back memories of the past.
"Qin, tell me what you know about Assasin.
All right?
” It was an assassination organization founded in the Middle Ages, from which the word "assass" derives.
Qin Fei suddenly smiled: "However, its reputation is not very good, are you sure you want me to say it?"
” "Now that you know, let's say it."
"But I'm almost sure, you know, it's just what remains in public legends; What I know is the other side of this real world, the things that belong to another dark world. ” The bar wasn't open for business today, it was closed, it was daylight outside, but it was dark inside.
The yellow light reflected on Eric's knife-like facial features, and a mysterious atmosphere suddenly filled the entire bar, and everyone seemed to have a sudden return to the Middle Ages.
"The Assasin organization, also known as the Assasin sect, is a heretical branch of the YSL religion, formed in Persia and other regions at the end of the 11th century, and was founded by the Persian Hassan al-Sabah.
The group was mystic, known for its assassinations, and they could be hired for a variety of political or religious purposes to carry out bold executions or political assassinations of the Abbasid elite of the time. ” "Hassan Sabah is also nicknamed 'Old Man in the Mountain', and it is said that his training methods are also extremely special, specializing in adopting some orphans or recruiting some market people, who can be hawkers, pawns, even women and beggars, all kinds of things, and then after his careful training, he hides into society, lives a normal life on the surface, and can carry out assassination missions once he receives orders."
"That sounds normal."
The crosshairs were also a famous killer in Johannesburg back then, and he didn't think there was anything unreasonable about assassination.
"Yes, what you're hearing is normal for now, but if you were before the Middle Ages, there was no such thing as an assassin."
Qin Fei said: "The reason why the word "assass" in English comes from the Assasin organization is because people in the past regarded this practice as a kind of shame, and only a coward without courage would choose to assassinate his opponent instead of killing him in a duel in the open." ” The crosshairs spread their hands and smiled: "It seems that I am still the apprentice grandson of the old man in the mountain?"
” "You?"
Qin Fei also smiled, "The old man in the mountain is fundamentally different from modern assassination.
You used to be a killer, you could be for money, but the old man in the mountain was not, they were for 'faith'. ” "Faith?"
The crosshair froze.
