Chapter 161 You'd better ask someone else to be clever!
"Is he also an assassin?"
Polina was full of doubts. She had immigrated to the Americas with her parents at the age of ten and had studied assassin skills under Atabai. Although it was not as good as several seniors that Atabai had brought up since childhood, it was still considered worthy.
The book knows all about the past and the present, but she has never even heard of these secrets.
"When you become an assassin mentor, you will be qualified to know!"
Atabai looked at his students, and then sighed helplessly again.
"As for why I'm with the British, it's a long story!"
Assassins and Templars are like light and darkness. Of course, this does not refer to their attributes, but the two will not exist alone. As long as there is a place where the Templars hang out, they will definitely see the Assassins. The two sides have had thousands of years of friendship.
It is difficult to explain clearly the grudges, but it can be generally understood that the temple is trying to bring trouble to the assassins, and the assassins are trying to bring trouble to the temple!
The same is true here in the Caribbean. The Templars, founded by King Alfred the Great of England, came to this land following the expansion of the British Navy, and the Assassins followed them closely. The Templars established strongholds in many ports and fortresses, and the Assassins
They established an organization on a desert island and actively recruited local indigenous people to participate in their battles. Atabai is a Caribbean native. He has taken over the Assassin organization from his former mentor for more than 20 years, but the Assassin organization is not in his hands.
It develops and grows, but continues to decline.
This is not because Atabai is not strong enough. In fact, he is a wise and tenacious assassin mentor. The main reason is that no matter how outstanding his efforts are, he is powerless in the face of the overwhelming colonial army. Spain, England, these countries in the Caribbean
The high-level officials all have the presence of the Templars, and they can openly mobilize troops and warships to encircle and suppress the Assassin organization. What the Assassins have, except for two hidden swords, they have nothing else, no warships, no soldiers, even if they want to
To recruit mercenaries, you have to have money. The islands with mines have been occupied by the British and Spanish. There is nothing on the assassin's island. Everyone can only stare at the big crocodile's teeth and how to fight with the Templars.
?
Attabai was captured in a temple raid not long ago. The East India Company dispatched hundreds of people, and even brought a six-pound cannon, which turned Attabai's stronghold upside down. The assassins
They are all good at concealing assassinations, but if you let them face muskets and cannons, it is pure suicide. Not every assassin dares to carry an unparalleled axe. Atabai's disciples and apprentices suffered heavy casualties, and he himself was unfortunately killed.
Because of his identity, after he was captured, the British did not kill him, but prepared to send him back to the UK for secret imprisonment, preparing to slowly extract the secrets about the Assassin organization.
And Polina was considered the most capable of the few official assassins who survived by chance. After she placed the remaining assassins, she followed the footsteps of the British non-stop, and finally disguised herself as an indentured sailor and boarded the East India Company's ship.
The gold-carrying ship wants to rescue his mentor.
Then they met Chen Mo.
"The only bad thing about secret organizations is that they have to be secretive if they want to develop!"
Chen Mo knocked on the door and asked the guards outside to bring some food to the two of them. Elizabeth didn't even look at the wheat porridge and bacon, but the two assassins ate it with gusto.
"So, what are you going to do with us?"
After eating and drinking, Atabai also regained some energy. He sat upright, which was in sharp contrast to Chen Mo, who was just lying on the ground.
"Of course I'll let you go. I have no enmity with you, but..."
Chen Mo's thoughtful look made Atabai feel nervous.
"You see, it's like this. My ship is the fastest in the Caribbean, and the two of you are staying in a luxurious private room on the ship. In addition, your attack on me has caused serious psychological damage to me, as well as various
Such as lost work expenses, equipment loss expenses..."
"Just tell me how much it will cost!"
Atabai breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then became worried again. It would be easy for Chen Mo to ask for money, but the problem is that they have no money!
"Well, then it's five hundred thousand pounds and fifteen pence. Seeing that it's not easy for you, I'll wipe out the change and just make it half a million pounds!"
"You are shameless!"
As soon as she heard such an astronomical figure, Polina shivered with anger, and her chest was constantly heaving. In addition, the white shirt she was wearing was already tightly tied, and she was about to burst out!
"Polina, do you still remember what I taught you?"
Atta stopped his disciples by shouting, and then told Chen Mo that he had no money!
"It's okay, I can also write an IOU! I'll suffer a little loss in terms of interest, and I'll give you three points. You owe me 500,000, so just pay me 650,000 next time!"
Chen Mo took out the parchment and quill, wrote the IOU in two strokes, and then handed it to the other party for signature.
In the end, Atabai still shook his head.
"Your IOU is in vain, because the Caribbean Assassin Organization is also broke. We originally had some savings, but when the British raided us, they also took away that wealth!"
"Grandma, you are playing dirty tricks with me, right?"
Chen Mo threw the pen and paper on the ground, then coughed, and a team of sailors rushed into the room.
"I'm telling you, if you don't give me money, I'll pay with your flesh. The women will go to the South American rainforests to mine, and the men will be sent to the Persian palace to be eunuchs!"
"What the Persian court needs is strong black slaves. As for Polina, do you think she looks like a miner?"
Atabi was dumbfounded by Chen Mo's threat.
"That's right. These thin arms and legs can't dig a few rocks, so I'll send you to the plantation to pick cotton!"
As soon as these words came out, even Paulina felt that it was a bit excessive. She was a beautiful woman after all, so why did she think of letting herself work?
"Actually, I have another idea!"
Atabai waved his hand to signal his apprentice to calm down, and he looked at Chen Mo sincerely.
"How about I give you the command of the assassins in the Caribbean and you become the assassin mentor?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mo was startled. He wondered if this guy had broken his brain!
"I don't like your three melons and two dates at all!"
Chen Mo shook his head disdainfully.
"Actually, the Caribbean Assassin Organization is not as fragile as you think. As long as a few important nodes are repaired, it can fully resume operations and help you do anything. I think you also need some secret supply points. After all, this
A ship also needs sailors and maintenance!"
Chen Mo thought for a moment and realized that what the other party said was not unreasonable, but I refused!
