'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' wasn't an excuse for people to do anything they wanted. People learned the combat skills in Assassin's Creed not to become war machines who knew nothing but killing.
When Altair killed the last templar knight, he found that his mentor was also a templar knight. The latter intended to use him to kill the other nine templar knights and become the sole owner of the Pieces of Eden.
It took Elina a long time to reach the end of the plot.
In the ordinary difficulty level, Altair had recovered all his strength by now, making the battles less difficult than she had imagined.
After defeating his mentor, Altair said to the Piece of Eden, "What do you bring to us? Faith or destruction?"
When Sala saw this, an indescribable sadness spread in her heart.
"When other people's minds are blinded by the so-called truth, remember - nothing is true."
"When people's actions are limited by morality or law, remember, everything is permitted."
This was the respect for free will. Only with it could human civilization make continuous progress.
This was the assassins' faith and soul.
Only with this faith could the assassins break free from the complicated tenets and rise again and again despite repeated corruption and falls.
This was the inspiration that Altair, the first master assassin in this series, had obtained and passed down.
"He's a truly great master... !" Elf Girl Sala hadn't cleared the stage yet, but her slow progress in the game didn't stop her from watching the final video after other players finished the game.
From now on, she began to see these assassins in a new light.
The faith needed in the leap of faith wasn't faith in any gods but rather in free will.
"Awesome!" Sala had never expected that a cultivation mystic realm would give her such deep inspirations.
She was eager to introduce it to her people in the Silver Moon Forest.
Since they shared the same craving for freedom, Sala was sure that they could understand the meaning shown in the game.
Having reached the end of the game, Elina froze for a long time while something dawned on her. She finally understood why these master assassins had never looked lost.
Were they stronger than the templar knights? No. But their faith had always been firm.
For the old players in the shops, they might not follow assassins' creed, and many of them just took it as a game, but it didn't stop them from admiring these white-robed assassins fighting for free will.
At this moment, Elina stood at the assassins' headquarters of Masyaf in the game.
The mountain was still grand and vast white clouds floated around it. Looking down, Elina could see gurgling creek below the high and steep cliff. At this moment, the stone platform which she had crashed down heavily onto so many times looked very tiny. It felt like anyone would be smashed into pieces if they made a misstep.
Elina stood on the plank that was extending from the tower.
She spread out her arms, and she leaped down like an eagle flying freely in the air.
Meanwhile, Sala also stood on the top of a tall tower. Like an arrow, she leaped down decisively.
"Shirk-!" In the gust, they seemed to hear an eagle's clear shriek.
They landed perfectly!
"I..."
"I did it?!"
Sala looked at herself in disbelief. Although the previous leaps didn't kill her, she had been smashed senseless by the crashes. But this time, she had landed perfectly!
"It's unbelievable!"
Assassin Elina watched her leap of faith in surprise; she did it!
"Awesome!" In pleasant surprise, she covered her mouth in stupefaction, not daring to believe her eyes.
Lance, the captain of the elf guardian team, was also standing at the bottom of the valley. He inhaled deeply after his perfect leap of faith.
"It's a wonderful feeling!"
"Oh! I did it!" The young men from the preparatory team of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion cheered.
"I want to try it in the real world!" Sala said.
"Me too! It's so cool!" Helen said in excitement, "I want to try it now!"
At this moment, Commander Elven was still trying his leap of faith in frustration."I nearly broke my legs again..."
It was comforting that he had made some progress. In the previous attempts, he had always lost synchronization after being paralyzed from the leap.
He took off his virtual reality headset and glanced around."Ugh? How come they're all gone?!
"Wait for me!"
...
In the beautiful Canglan City which was located beside a river and a mountain, the castles in the middle were very eye-catching.
It was the aristocratic zone of the city, and the City Hall and other administrative offices were all located in these castle-like buildings.
It was the highest point of the city.
At this moment, on the top level of the huge bell tower of this castle stood a row of people.
Like Altair, they leaned forward, stepping on the outmost stones.
The gusts at this height flapped their robes and clothes against their bodies.
They looked forward and saw the screen-like mountains in the distance and the sparkling lights on the peaceful lake at the foot of the mountains.
In the streets of the city were bustling crowds and horse-drawn carriages.
Looking down, they could see the base of the bell tower that looked tiny from up-high.
On the ground were piles of golden layers of hay.
Although assassins with firm faith didn't need any buffers, it was their first leap in the real world after all.
The feeling of freely flying in the air without any restrictions from any forces was exhilarating.
Sala closed her eyes subconsciously.
In fact, Helen did the same.
As an extremely artistic and romantic clan, the elves understood this romantic gesture.
Captain Lance also closed his eyes and wanted to try it.
They all closed their eyes, enjoying this feeling.
Meanwhile, the people below them yelled, "What are they doing up there... ?"
"No idea... They seem to be members of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion and the elves who came to visit our city a while ago?"
"What are they doing up there?"
Only a few people were around the bell tower. But soon, many people showed up.
Elf Girl Sala seemed to find the feeling and leaped down from the bell tower before the others.
Then, the others fell like dumplings that were being dropped into a boiling pot.
"Ahh-! No! Commander Elven is leading the members in his legion and the elves in a group suicide!" The audience froze in fear.
They were so scared that their minds turned blank.
