After Evie's teachings and daily targeted practice, Lu Qi's [climbing skills] have improved greatly and have reached the level of lv2.

Although he is not as calm as Evie and Jacob, at least when climbing a tall building, Lu Qi no longer worries that he will miss and fall and fall into pieces...

Climbing all the way up the dome, the night treasure hunting duo finally arrived at the secret treasure house in the dome.

However, what disappointed the two of them was that there was no trace of the Holy Shroud in this secret treasure house.

Some are just a unique necklace placed quietly on a small table.

Located on the pendant is a silver rectangular cube, engraved with some exquisite patterns and patterns, full of mysterious meaning.

When Evie picked up the necklace and carefully looked at the patterns on it, Lu Qi teased with a hint of helplessness:

"Ha, another clue! Can't Kenway just write down where the holy shroud is on a piece of paper and post it here for us to see?!"

Hearing this, Evie raised her lips slightly, put the necklace into the inner pocket of her windbreaker, and responded: "At least we found this before the Templars..."

"What do you think this is?"

"I think it should be the key to a certain mechanism..."

"What's the point of having a key but not knowing what to use it to open..."

"We'll find it..."

After shrugging, Lu Qi continued:

"I don't care. Anyway, you will do all the documentation work. I'm just here to accompany you and act as a temporary bodyguard..."

Hearing this, Ewei raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Qi with interest, and said meaningfully:

"Huh? You mean, I can't protect myself properly?"

After knowing Ewei for two months, Lu Qi certainly knew that she was a woman of the new era who was not inferior to men.

Women with this kind of very independent personality especially hate men's worldly views on them.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi looked directly into Ivie's green eyes, spread his hands, and explained:

"Of course not! It's just that I am a bit chauvinistic and don't like to put the women around me in danger..."

As soon as these words came out, Evie was a little unexpected.

Evie began to receive her father's teachings at an early age, honed her assassin skills, and slowly grew into a master assassin.

Growing up, her father and brother never worried about whether she could protect herself.

Lu Qi is the first man to worry about her and say this to her in her whole life!

Ivi felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but blink her eyes. She drew a perfect arc at the corner of her mouth, smiled at Lu Qi, and deliberately joked:

"This is what you said. If you encounter danger, you must protect me."

Hearing this, Lu Qi bowed slightly and made a gentleman's salute to Evie:

"I am at your service, my lady..."

I thought this was just a little joke between the two of them. However, what the two of them never expected was that the opportunity for Lu Qi to "serve" would come so soon...

...

As soon as the two of them came down from the roof of St. Paul's Cathedral and returned to the square at the main entrance of the cathedral, a sudden change occurred!

Five or six carriages suddenly rushed out from the darkness and instantly blocked the two people's path.

The person driving the carriage was uniformly wearing a black fur coat, and the cross armbands on his arms all told the origin of the other person.

Knights Templar!

Seeing this, Ewei was about to leave, but Lu Qi reached out and pulled her sleeves, keeping her there.

"Don't worry, let's check the situation first."

Hearing this, Evie understood clearly and was ready to fight at any time.

At this time, the most luxurious carriage among them suddenly "clicked" and the door opened.

Lucy Thorne, Evie's old rival, stepped out of the carriage with her hands behind her back.

Separated by a distance of about seven or eight meters, Thorne greeted the two of them like an old friend:

"Good evening, Miss Frye. It's so late and a man and a woman are here alone. I wonder if you are going on a date at night?"

"It seems like it's none of your business..."

"Miss Frye, we are old friends. As for you..."

As he spoke, Soen's eyes moved to Lu Qi and stayed on his highly distinguishable face for a few seconds:

"It should be the Asian from the Nighthawk Gang, Mr. Mars, right?"

When his name was called, Lu Qi didn't pay attention and just said casually: "It seems that I am quite famous."

"Yes, you are very famous, at least more famous than you think..."

As if he didn't want to reveal too much to Lu Qi, his eyes returned to Evie again. Thorne sneered and then said:

"I guess you already got what I wanted, right?"

"What is your purpose for wanting the Holy Shroud? To consolidate your power? Have you ever thought about what you would do if you couldn't control it?"

"Then why do you need it? Just to prevent the Templars from getting it? This way of thinking is really like an assassin who holds the power of immortality in his hands but is afraid to use it!"

The way of thinking of the Assassin and the Templar, and their different views on the Pieces of Eden, can be seen just from the conversation between the two.

While Evie was talking to Thorne, Lu Qi's eyes were darting around, observing the number and position of the enemies while making several plans in his mind for the next battle.

"Eternal life? Oh, that's just an illusion created by you in order to pursue endless power!"

"As long as we are here, the Templars will never be able to obtain the Holy Shroud!"

"It doesn't matter. When you turn into corpses, I can search slowly..."

Before he finished speaking, Thorne's eyes turned cold, he waved his hand and ordered:

"Kill them!"

Following Thorn's order, the Templar knights, who stood in a fan shape and vaguely surrounded Lu Qi and Iwei, all took out their revolvers in unison!

If you have a gun and don't use it, you are a fool!

It just so happened that Lu Qi thought so too.

However, before that, hiding oneself is the first priority!

Before the other party fired, Lu Qi and Iwei had a tacit understanding and threw a smoke bomb on the ground at the same time.

There were two "bang bang" sounds, and the thick smoke instantly enveloped the two of them, making it impossible to aim at all.

Seeing his hesitant subordinates, Thorne frowned and immediately shouted:

"What are you doing standing still! Shoot!"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of gunshots in the smoke was the first to sound!

Puff!

Accompanied by two groans, several bullets shot out and shot directly into the bodies of the two Templars on the far right!

At this time, the sound of gunshots like exploding beans was long overdue!

Bang bang bang!

The barrage was fired into the smoke, but there was no feedback, no screams, and no sound of bullets hitting the human body.

Just when Thorne thought Lu Qi and Yiwei had been shot, something unexpected happened!
Chapter completed!
