Chapter 611: The Release Date Is Not Yet Determined?

Walking slowly toward the center of the grand hall, Luther spoke with fluent confidence: "Do you know why I never worry about being assassinated?"

"Lord Luther," another old man dressed in priestly robes replied respectfully, "this city has already activated the highest specification of the anti-air magic array that can be deployed. Even the mages' 'Cat's Grace,' used to increase jumping ability, has absolutely no effect here. Most assassins cannot even manage to pass through the doors."

...

And at this moment, inside the shop, Serah and Helen watched the preview cinematic, unable to help but look curiously at these assassins climbing and leaping upon high towers and city walls as agilely as cats: "It seems quite impressive, but is all this... truly useful? Genuine powerhouses are all capable of flight!"

...

Within the grand hall of the temple, Luther, arrayed in noble and magnificent attire, held a glass goblet filled with red wine: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, my lord, your vision is far too narrow. Within this grand hall, there are also countless hidden magic traps, and the superb craftsmanship of the temple mages ensures that even a magician's spiritual probe cannot detect them."

"I dare guarantee that these lowly fellows will not even have the chance to lay eyes upon me before..."

He made a gesture of opening both hands: "Boom! You understand, my lord."

...

Meanwhile, inside the shop watching the preview cinematic, Serah and Helen witnessed such a scene—the vision of the assassins before them suddenly turned entirely into shades of gray, and within this gray world, certain people and objects became exceptionally bright and conspicuous!

"My goodness! What is this?!"

...

Luther held the red wine in his hand and took a leisurely sip, seeming to completely forget his previous displeasure.

"I hear... these damned, lowly rats are spreading the word of our invasion and defeat." He sneered, and then his expression turned grim, "I think it is time to show them some color!"

At this moment, several assassins were seen entering from outside the hall, having finally made it in only with the greatest difficulty and by exhausting all their resourcefulness.

Suddenly, their faces changed drastically: "Not good! It's an ambush!"

"In this place, only divine arts and divine power can be used. Other than that, any power will be suppressed." Luther revealed a cold, sinister smile, "Capture them all, they cannot escape!"

...

Yet at this time, Serah, Helen, and the others watching the preview cinematic in the shop saw them dropping silently from high places, striking true with a single blow, and then leaving swiftly to blend into the vast crowd of people, their traces never to be found again.

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."

The scene before them turned dark, and in the end, only these eight words remained before their eyes.

They were filled with astonishment.

In these fragments and silhouettes, they seemed to behold a completely different kind of assassin!

At least, entirely different from the assassins in their impressions.

Such a person could also be an assassin?!

How could an assassin be like this?!

At this moment, their minds were completely filled with those figures of white-robed, eagle-like assassins.

Their killing... no, perhaps it should not be called killing, because those smooth, flowing combat techniques resembled a form of art.

They traversed the dark shadows, fighting against those Templars who coveted the holy relic, the "Apple," and sought to use the "Apple" to control people's thoughts and restrict people's freedom. This naturally brought a completely different feeling from the usual reckless slaughter of the innocent.

They seemed utterly unable to believe their eyes, because merely a few episodic previews had already overturned the image of assassins in their hearts.

What it brought to them did not seem to be the assassins of this era, but a kind of people from across eras, completely distinct from this world.

Thus Serah could not help but stand up and walk to the counter: "Boss, where do we enter this 'Assassin's Creed' mystical realm?"

"Ah?" Owner Fang glanced at the exquisite and elegant Elven girl before him, who was dressed in light green leather armor, "This hasn't been released yet."

"Then when will it come out..." After watching such an exciting cinematic, her heart was itching to give it a try, yet you tell me it hasn't been released?!

"This one?" Owner Fang explained, "The release date is temporarily undecided. If there is news..."

Owner Fang pointed to the small blackboard behind him: "I will write it down."

"What?! It's not out yet?!" Helen was also exasperated for a moment. I thought it was out! I was just about to play, and you tell me this?!

Meanwhile, inside several of the old shops.

Su Tianji leaned back on the sofa: "Today's updated episodes of 'The Legend of the White Snake' are finished again. So boring... I really want to play a new game."

As a casual player who mainly watched new TV series and mainly played farming games, there was actually more than one such person in the shop.

For instance, Cultivator Qingyun and her peers were different from those like Gabriel, who came to the shop covered in bandages just to grind away fatigue points and blow horns, acting as veteran internet addicts with a touch of chuunibyou. Intensely mastering a single game was simply not their style.

For certain people, coming to the shop to play games raised their cultivation and combat experience no matter what they played, so why stick to just one game?

Finishing Legend of the Sword and Fairy once, buying a mansion in Grand Theft Auto, messing around in the low-tier brackets of StarCraft, and watching a movie once or twice was enough; I sing during esports competitions, and I watch animations while others practice martial arts... it was roughly that kind of life.

"Master, Master!" Fenghua and Yuexin sat down beside her, "Have you watched the preview for 'Assassin's Creed'?"

"Of course!" Mentioning a new game brought Su Tianji's spirits right back up.

She sat up straight, assuming a solemn expression of earnest instruction: "Based on my masterly experience of playing games for many years, that strange, intuition-like way of perception can definitely be learned. With it, the safety factor of entering many ruins can be said to increase dramatically."

After all, most spells and magic arrays could not guard against a sixth sense.

"I don't know what kind of treasure that 'Apple' is either..." Fenghua said, "To think it can actually control human thoughts, how terrifying!"

"Speaking of which..." Su Tianji picked up the communication jade in her hand...

"Boss, when exactly is this game going to be released! (Furious, Furious)" Looking at that leap of faith that resembled flying through the sky, and those smooth, flowing assassinations...

As a highly talented elder, she felt as though she had never done anything like assassination in her entire life.

Good grief, she really did want to give it a try...

Owner Fang glanced at the quest completion progress.

The number of players in the new shop was not even enough, and there wasn't even a shadow of an assassin player yet. The release date...

"Released this year!"

"Pfft—!" She practically wanted to murder someone.

...

PS: The system version of Eagle Vision will be restored as a genuine sixth sense, which only truly talented people can achieve.

In fact, the author's understanding of Eagle Vision should not be limited to lineage, but is like a talent hidden within the bloodline of all humanity, so it makes no distinction of national borders. Even Shao Jun, the Ming Dynasty Chinese assassin, could possess Eagle Vision.
