Istanbul, or Constantinople as it is called in the Christian world. This is a magical city that spans two continents and connects the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Its geographical location is extremely important and it is a veritable strategic location.
Of course, Li Xiao's current location is still Europe, and the old city across the Golden Horn is still Europe. The Asian part is on the other side of the Bosporus, and is now desolate.
Compared with the old European cities on the other side of the Golden Horn, the area where Galata Tower is located is relatively barren, and the reason why Li Xiao came to Galata Tower was just to fulfill his dream of Assassin's Creed.
This stone tower is really quite high. Anyway, Li Xiao feels dizzy when he looks down. If he were to make a leap of faith and fall into the haystack, he would probably fall to pieces. Anyway, he is not tired of living yet and does not want to do real bungee jumping.
Istanbul is a city where Eastern and Western civilizations meet, and it is also a city where two major religions blend. And as the Balkan problem becomes more and more serious, there are too many people with evil intentions in this city, which makes this city also become a
It has become a paradise for intelligence dealers, black marketeers and criminals.
Strictly speaking, Li Xiao is also a criminal of this type now. The purpose of his coming to Istanbul is to create some fake identities and documents. For example, he is just claiming to be Mr. Henry of France. If the officials really want to trace him, they will definitely have to get involved.
.
Of course, there are also people in Constanta who are doing business in this area. For example, the old man in the Black Crow Tavern is very good at this, enough to get identity documents that look fake.
But Li Xiao couldn't trust anyone in Constanta at all, so he didn't create a fake identity there. After all, as a stranger, his every move there was too conspicuous, and even if he was careful to hide it, it would be difficult to hide it from someone who was interested.
s eyes.
But Istanbul is different. This city is a mixed bag. There are too many people like Li Xiao. Every day, countless people like him land here or disappear from here. Obtaining a false identity here is like getting mixed into the sea water.
of fresh water, almost indistinguishable.
And the most important thing is that he has an acquaintance in this regard. The old butler Igor gave him the contact information of a person when he left St. Petersburg. Tell him that if there is really danger, he can try to contact the second person at the French Embassy in Istanbul.
Waiting for secretary David Leboeuf.
This David Leboeuf was a life-and-death friend of old Igor. Moreover, this man had been active in Istanbul for a long time because he believed in the Green Religion, and he was familiar with the situation around the Balkans and the Black Sea.
The most important thing is that this man’s true identity is a multiple spy, in fact, he is an intelligence dealer. In the words of old Igor: “In addition to being loyal to friendship and money, David has no regard for faith, country, or nation!
"
To be honest, this really surprised Li Xiao, because money and friendship seem to be a bit impossible to be loyal to both. Either one is loyal to money or loyal to friendship, how can anyone combine the two into one.
Old Igor said with a wry smile at the time: "If you have enough money, then once a deal is reached, David will implement it to the end without compromise. Even if you spend money to buy his wife, as long as the money is enough, it will be no problem. He
This person respects contracts extremely and will not violate them once they are made."
"Of course, if you have his friendship, no matter how much money anyone pays, nothing can change his loyalty to you, even if it makes him bankrupt. His reputation in this regard is particularly good! You can definitely trust him!
"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Then how did you win his friendship?"
Old Igor smiled and said: "That was in 1804, when Napoleon came to power in a coup, and David's owner at the time was Napoleon's political enemy... so he was forced to go into exile abroad and almost starved to death on the streets of St. Petersburg."
Li Xiao asked: "Did you help him?"
Old Igor nodded and said: "That's right. It's just that I discovered his ability and recommended him to your father. Your father hired him and gave him meticulous care..."
Li Xiao was dumbfounded and had been flirting with him for a long time. This was still an old minister whom he had taken advantage of. No wonder old Igor recommended him with all his strength and guaranteed with his head that he was absolutely reliable.
To be honest, Li Xiao was a little curious, because the employment relationship alone did not prove that David was reliable. After all, the contract between the two parties had ended.
Old Igor added: "It's just that David is very grateful to your father, so grateful that he bursts into tears!"
Li Xiao asked strangely: "Why?"
Old Igor showed an embarrassed expression and explained: "Because David has a bit of a personality... As I said just now, he has French nationality, but his relationship with Napoleon is not very good. At the same time, he
He also strongly hates Louis XVIII and the Bourbon line."
"In addition, he is actually a Pole, but he is strongly dissatisfied with Catholicism. In order to marry more wives, he converted to Green Christianity, but at the same time he constantly criticized the corruption of the Sultan and his court..."
Li Xiao was really stunned, what kind of weirdo could do such an earth-shattering thing. This man almost lives in contradictions, and there are conflicts in every aspect, which makes people speechless.
"Is there anything else he doesn't dare to do?"
Old Igor smiled bitterly and said: "He had a very bad relationship with Nicholas I. After the failure of the incident in 1825, he tried to assassinate him, and the matter was accidentally exposed. If your father hadn't helped to intercede,
He had been executed long ago..."
Li Xiao wanted to hide his face and cry. It was really impossible for this weirdo to commit suicide again. To be honest, it was a miracle that he was still alive after flying so many planes!
Of course, Li Xiao was also very curious about him. He probably knew why the cheap man was so grateful to him. It was probably because of the assassination. He really didn't know why the cheap man helped him speak on this sensitive issue.
After all, that old treacherous uncle cares a lot about this, and it's really not worth offending or disgusting him.
"My dearest Andre, my Allah, my God, my dear! I finally see you!"
"Look at your face, it's exactly the same as your father Constantine I. They are both so handsome, so peaceful and kind."
"I have been waiting for this day for eighteen years. I have been looking forward to this day since the year you were born!"
"It's all the fault of damn Nicholas. That usurper expelled me and will never allow me to enter Russia. Otherwise, I must hug you and kiss you as soon as possible. This will be my greatest joy!"
"mua! mua! Sooner or later, we will fight back to the Winter Palace and drive the usurper off the throne. That position should belong to you from the beginning, my most lovely young friend!"
