The old trainer found a step in the yard and sat up, "Assassin is one of the oldest occupations of human beings, because most of the troubles of people are caused by people, and it is easy to solve the people who make you troubles." Take care of your troubles."
"This is hard to refute." Zhang Heng said.
Dadatis continued, "No one knows who the first assassin is, because people who do well in this line of work are people without a name. Once they become famous, they are basically not far from death. We and The dead are different, they pursue rewards, and the most important thing to get rewards is to survive first. Although our names are not in history, we are everywhere. For thousands of years, we have hidden in the grass and devoted ourselves to Solve the life troubles of ordinary people, or serve the emperor and general, and change the direction of history with the dagger in hand."
"Well, it sounds like you're pretty busy."
"Of course, in the early days, the assassins basically fought on their own, and there were not many intersections. Everyone had different service targets. This certainly brought us unparalleled freedom, but because of the lack of faith, it also Let us always be in a state of disunity, and this situation lasted until about a thousand years ago, when a retired senior received an oracle from Kreis and began to think of ways to integrate the forces belonging to the Assassins."
"So this is the origin of the Assassin Brotherhood?" Zhang Heng interjected.
The old trainer was startled when he heard this, "What Brotherhood of Assassins?"
"Sorry, I've joined Ubisoft, please continue." Zhang Heng said.
The old trainer frowned. He didn't understand what Ubisoft meant. However, considering that Zhang Heng came from the far east, it is normal for the two parties to have some differences in communication. As long as the information is not too important, He didn't mean to be entangled in it.
"The senior found the six most powerful assassins at the time, and conveyed Kreis' intentions to them, but it didn't go well at first, because people who would do this job basically didn't like to be restrained, but The senior told other people that joining the organization will not have much impact on their daily life, on the contrary, the organization can become a bridge for them to exchange information, share resources and help each other."
The old trainer paused, "Although assassins prefer to act alone, it doesn't mean that an assassin can cover everything by himself. Accepting a commission requires a middleman. First, the middleman will have a wealth of connections to facilitate finding the target employer. On the one hand, the assassin can avoid direct contact with the employer. This is also to protect the safety of the assassin. After all, assassination is not a glorious thing. There are also employers who want to solve this hidden danger after solving the problem, so as to completely eliminate future worries. .
"The assassin's early investigation of the target also needs the help of other people. These people may be gangsters and thieves on the street, or they may be sociable nobles and businessmen, so that they can approach different targets. Sometimes some help is needed, in short, behind any perfect assassination, there needs to be a detailed investigation, countless rehearsals and corresponding aftermath, after all, we are human beings, not gods."
"Heh, this is probably a certain level of craftsman spirit." Zhang Heng said.
"In summary, I believe you can also see the benefits of establishing an organization. It can gather the resources of members to form an intelligence network, and finally serve the members of the organization. In addition, when members of the organization encounter dangerous Sometimes, other people can also provide assistance to him, after all, dealing with an assassin and provoking a group of assassins are two completely different concepts."
"It's reasonable, but the question is, what good does it do for the convener? You said before that he had already retired, so why did he come back and spend so much effort to form an organization that he can't use himself?"
"As I said, for thousands of years, the profession of assassins has been in a state of disunity. The root cause is their lack of faith. A common goal can unite them. This is what the original founders of Balance Blade wanted. The thing to do, we believe in Kreus, she is the god of murder and assassins, she is in charge of the delicate balance between all things, and all we have to do is to maintain this balance for her by assassinating."
The old trainer looked into Zhang Heng's eyes and said seriously, "Balance is very important, because only balance is the best state of all things, and it can benefit everyone in the world, especially the lowest-level civilians and slaves. Of course, the blade of balance Focusing on the interests of all classes, in principle, everyone is a part of the world and together constitutes a balance, but we really care most about the bottom people, for the simple reason that they have the largest number of people.”
"You want to benefit the slaves, why don't you just liberate them?" Zhang Heng asked.
"We free the slaves, and then?" asked the old trainer. "Have you ever been to the market?"
"Um."
"The market is like a microcosm of the world. There are all kinds of people in it, blacksmiths, farmers, carpenters, tailors... Everyone is selling their own things. We all have things to sell and things to buy, and this It all comes together in balance, and now you take the farmers out of the market, what happens? The tailors have no fabric, the taverns have no ingredients to make wine, the women can't buy food, the balance is broken, all Everyone suffers.
"The same is true for slaves. As I said, the Balance Blade has existed for thousands of years. We have seen too many things, the rise and fall of countries, the change of dynasties, the prosperity and destruction of cities, and some enslaved people have successfully killed them." After losing the people who enslaved them, but after that, will the slaves be freed as they claim? No, they just become a new batch of slave owners. A fact that people at the bottom are often unaware of is that , no matter how society changes, the bottom will always exist, just like you can’t take farmers away from the market, it’s part of the balance.”
"So you are inclined to maintain the rule of the current ruler?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"No, we only maintain balance." The old trainer said, "We believe that a stable ruling structure can maximize the interests of all classes, but we also know that there is no eternal dynasty or rule in this world, just like chaos is the new We do not reject chaos, just as the only path before order is established."
"Then what is your position?" Zhang Heng frowned.
"Let everything return to balance." The old trainer replied, "If the power of the nobles is too strong, we will cut off the wings of the nobles. If the riots happen, we will also assist the army to suppress the riots in the shortest possible time to avoid causing greater losses, and when chaos comes, we will also help the real king ascend the throne and restore the balance."
