For elves, freedom was a highly romantic and graceful word. They valued freedom even more than their lives.

For the assassins in the Morning Light Empire, they were drawn to the game by something indescribable which might be a spirit or a will. It was vague, but Elina was sure that she could find it here.

For elves, the throbbing of freedom was something that drew them in.

Whenever she saw assassins leaping down from the tall towers and castles like flying eagles, Sala was always struck by a sense of glory.

It was a beautiful feeling.

“I can’t believe that I’m going to make this leap of faith too!” She clenched her hands, feeling a bit nervous.

After the templar knights had followed Altair to the assassins’ headquarters, the mentor arranged for him and the other assassins to leap down the high cliff with a leap of faith, so they could take a detour to the back of the templar knights and activate the pre-arranged traps and defense mechanisms.

Many other players had come to this part at this moment, including Elina and Harrison, who were assassins in the real world.

“It’s really a moment of glory...” While lamenting, Elina climbed up the tower.

In the old shop, Su Tianji had also climbed to the top of the tower. Standing on the extension plank on the top, she looked at the distant mountains and spread out her arms like a white bird that was flying. It was a beautiful and romantic scene in her mind.

As a romantic and artistic clan, the elves understood this romantic feeling.

They all recalled the cool and smooth moves of those white-robed assassins in the trailer who spread their arms toward the wind as if they were embracing the sky and the distant mountains.

The ground below the tall cliff was covered by thick layers of hay. For real assassins with faith, they didn’t even need any buffers or cushions.

Standing on the plank, Sala felt the mountain wind brushing over her face with her eyes closed. If seemed like she could move forward by one step and enter a paradise.

“...!!??”

Everything turned silent.

I won’t take the step forward unless I’m crazy!

Then, she suddenly plunged down!

“Ahh...!” She screamed all the way down. On her screen, an assassin flailed his arms and legs while plunging down from the sky.

She landed on the ground face first.

“Ahhh...”

“Ah–!”

One after another, the assassins stuck their heads out from the hay with straws all over their faces, and they looked around with confusion in their eyes. “...”

In Su Tianji’s livestream room, the audience saw an assassin plunging into the pile of hay head first with two feet waving outside. historical

“Wuuu-! Let me out!”

“Where’s the shop owner?!” Looking at her screen which had turned black-and-white again, Su Tianji was extremely frustrated. While looking around, it seemed like she was looking for weapons to grab.

It was totally different from what they had seen in the trailer!

How could the leap of faith look like that?!

They were deceived! Completely deceived!

– In the livestream room –

[Cool!]

[Master Assassin!]

[Landing on your face with a leap of faith.]

[Unrivalled.]

[Nalan Mingxue sent you ten goose eggs.]

[Mr. Fang sent you 20 goose eggs.]

“...”

Su Tianji had the urge to throw goose eggs at Mr. Fang’s face!

She even suspected that the trailer had only shown the first part of the leap of faith, and all the assassins had in fact fallen to the ground this way in the second half of the leap.

Su Tianji rubbed her face.

This is...

...

As a real assassin, even though the process was tough, Elina finally stumbled her way to the assassination – a real assassination mission.

To punish Altair for breaking the tenets, botching the mission, even leading the templar knights to their headquarters, and causing death to many assassins, the mentor let him experience death.

Of course, the mentor didn’t kill the disciple who he had trained with care. Instead, he used this near-death experience to warn him. After taking away all his strength and equipment, the mentor sent him to kill the nine leaders of the templar knights.

As an assassin, Elina was confident in herself.

Therefore, she set out.

To avoid landing face first as she had done before, she didn’t leap down from a high point. Instead, she sneaked into the place.

There were many people in the market; Elina felt like she could copy the scenes shown in the trailer in which the white-robed assassin walked through the crowd, attacked with a longsword and the hidden blade at the same time to kill the target, and then vanished.

The neat and smooth killing skills were very dashing! For real assassins, the feeling of easily killing targets was very enjoyable.

She planned these moves in her mind.

Then, she pushed through the crowd and walked up.

– Ten seconds later –

“Ahh-!”

[Desynchronization]

On the screen, the assassin was knocked down to the ground by a large group of people.

“...”

Damn it!

– One day later –

– Two days later –

Su Tianji slammed her hand on the table. “Sir!”

All the players shouted, “Sir!!??”

What is wrong with this Assassin’s Creed?!

In the trailer, the leap of faith looked as free as a flying eagle.

But when we did it, we fell like a moron with flailing limbs. Some of us even landed face first!

In the trailer, the killing was done silently and instantly.

But when we did the missions, we swaggered out from the blind spot of the people’s vision, unsheathed the hidden blade, and were instantly killed!

In the trailer, the assassin walked into the enemies alone and killed them smoothly with a hand crossbow and a hidden blade in their hands.

In contrast, when we tried the missions, we were killed and lost synchronization when we pushed through the crowd and shot while attacking with both hands!

“Sir! You deceived us!”

“We’re not playing as assassins!”

Even Elina felt like she couldn’t play as an assassin anymore, let alone cultivators like Su Tianji.

[Sir!] Mr. Fang immediately received a protesting message from Su Tianji. [Take my cannon strike!]

Then, she sent him a screenshot of when she used Super Su Tianji Cannon in combat. Obviously, someone had taken this picture at the risk of their lives.

“This cultivation mystical realm of yours is a scam!” even Elf Sala protested.

She had practiced the leap of faith for days now! Her face was now even swollen due to repeated falls!

At this moment, Mr. Fang had just walked down from the second floor while wiping the sweat off his face.

Then, a group of people surrounded him.

“What’s wrong with you guys?”

“I can’t possibly learn the so-called leap of faith in this cultivation mystical realm!” Sala almost wept in fury.

“And the so-called assassination and the blind spot of vision! Who assassinates targets in public like this?” Elina gritted her teeth; she had copied the cool moves shown in the trailer but was beaten senseless and killed within ten seconds.

She had the urge to drag the shop owner out and beat him to death.

“This...” Mr. Fang looked exasperated. “You’re still newbies and noobs and can’t expect to learn everything so soon. Which beginner can do high-level plays anyway?”

“Newbies? Noobs?” Elina was furious. After all, she was a senior and elite assassin, but the shop owner just called her a newbie?!

Do you know whom I assassinated?! Do you know my background?!

She was even more furious since she couldn’t expose her identity.

Those soldiers in the game each had acute senses and high-level parry skills. The players might be able to deal with them with cultivation strength. However, without any cultivation strength, the players could barely fight with one, let alone a group of them in each assassination mission.

“Show us if you can do it!”
