Chapter 618: The Meaning of ‘Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted’

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Mr. Fang glanced at the tasks for this series and found that the first few were comparatively simple, such as the ones for Assassin’s Creed 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.

Mr. Fang made some comparisons and found that the task for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood was the easiest one to finish among others this series. It only required the number of players of Assassin’s Creed to reach 2,000.

The 2,000 players included those from the old shops.

At this moment, there were hundreds of assassin players in the new shop. As for the old shops, many players were still playing online games. After all, not everyone could have all the top-tier equipment such as Senior Nalan – only one out of 10,000 could do this.

The total number of players for Assassin’s Creed in the three old shops was only a little more than that of the new shop.

Despite all this, the right to release Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood would soon be unlocked. historical

...

Elina was now extremely frustrated.

She was certain that the shop owner was making excuses for his act, but she found it was hard to dispute with him.

Should I play an assassin in this way too?!

She began to look at the word ‘assassin’ in a new light.

...

As a young peace-loving elf, Sala was obviously not misled by Mr. Fang. Still, she found Mr. Fang’s battle method inspiring.

It seems the game had anticipated the potential failure of sneaking up and prepared some methods to deal with it.

They included the powerful battling skills that Fang Qi used when he killed his way into the crowd.

Except for Fang Qi’s own combat skills, parrying was a crucial skill that the game contained.

Parrying was a counterattack skill where the player could block the opponent’s sword and make the latter lose balance from the momentum before striking their vital points.

This method was similar to Devil May Cry’s Release skill.

However, few humans could have the fast reflex that Release required. In the long time that Devil May Cry had been available, only Ning Bi could use it in real battles.

Even Mr. Fang didn’t like to use this method in real battles when he wasn’t completely synchronized with Dante, and Nalan Hongwu hadn’t mastered it, let alone others. This method could only be used by those non-humans whose physical attributes were much more superior than humans. If ordinary people used it, they would get killed most of the time.

But parrying was different. Even ordinary people could learn this skill which was a high-level method to transfer the incoming force to attack the opponent.

When one parried with a sword, even if the move failed, they could still protect oneself by blocking the opponent’s attack, which made the skill highly safe to use.

Besides parrying, Altair, as a master assassin, had high-level combat skills, especially when he engaged in hand-to-hand combat with other people.

Human life was fragile. With a sharp weapon, one could kill a master without using any force when their aim wasn’t off.

This master assassin excelled in all kinds of efficient killing skills. Whenever his opponents made a minor mistake, he could make a kill easily.

These skills had merged into his genes.

Elves were never a dogmatic race. Sala thought that these combat skills might be useful in the future. However, her top priority right now was the leap of faith.

Regardless of how she jumped, even with the buffers such as grass and layers of hay, she almost fell to death after each leap. Although it didn’t affect her game progress, it greatly dampened her enthusiasm for the game.

“Why can’t I make a graceful leap of faith?” Sala was frustrated.

She had watched the shop owner jump almost the same way as the character in the trailer.

Since the leap of faith wasn’t fake, it only meant that she didn’t do it right.

Without the support of faith, the leap of faith meant death.

As a smart elf, Sala finally thought about the leap with faith.

Meanwhile, Elina, Harrison, and the other assassins had also made the connection while doing the leap of faith repeatedly.

But they were still puzzled. After all, assassins didn’t believe in gods. Then what was their faith?

Another thing that puzzled her was that when Altair did the assassination missions in broad daylight, he exposed himself to the templar knights, which meant that he broke the second tenet. But why didn’t he lose the synchronization?

Controlling Altair, she assassinated again and again.

But she still didn’t understand what the assassins’ faith was.

Like Altair going to Solomon’s Temple with arrogance and conceit, Elina had gone through assassination missions with pride belonging to this world’s assassins.

After each successful assassination, Altair would have a mental conversation with the target.

In the world of Assassin’s Creed, assassins and templar knights fought with each other over the Pieces of Eden. The templar knights wanted to use this advanced technology created by the first civilization to control the minds of humans and thus make an orderly world where people’s spiritual world was the same.

However, assassins thought free will was the thing that humans truly needed.

In this era, there were many tenets and codes for assassins. Altair had broken the three basic tenets before.

For Altair, he had only one creed –’nothing is true, everything is permitted.’

When Altair eliminated the targets, who were templar knights one by one, their words before death made Altair reflect on the code of conduct, purpose, and meaning of being an assassin.

He realized that the creed of ‘nothing is true, everything is permitted’ was right, but it didn’t mean that he could be arrogant.

Altair finally shed his arrogance and conceit and grew into a clear-headed and wise assassin, embarking on the journey to a true master assassin.

Of course, even though Mr. Fang killed all the witnesses and called it a perfect assassination, he didn’t mean that everyone should assassinate this way.

Instead, he tried to tell the players that they must use their own brains, instead of following others’ paths.

This was the meaning of ‘nothing is true, everything is permitted’.

Elina had been very proud, but as Altair’s reflections went deeper, she fell silent.

Meanwhile, Sala and other elves, the knights of theGolden Griffin Knight Legion, and the mercenaries in Canglan City fell silent as well.

They suddenly realized that Assassin’s Creed wasn’t just a cultivation mystic realm teaching them assassination skills.

It allowed them to experience a pearl of wisdom.
