Chapter 26

"Six must be chosen, then three must be chosen, as for the last one..."

Lin Ye’s gaze wanders between Endurance B and Light of Relief. One is hard power, the other is a support ability; both are B, both are equally important...

After a long time, Lin Ye finally grits his teeth and stomps his foot, saying:

"System, I want Light of Relief!"

Still the same saying, attributes are easy to grind, but skills are relatively harder to get.

[Very well, Master, please accept your rewards.]

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three rays of light fall onto Lin Ye. Subsequently, Lin Ye feels an extra force within his body, and he feels that his illusion technique is even more handy.

Finally, a golden longsword appears in Lin Ye’s hand.

"Alright, perfect."

Feeling these rewards, Lin Ye also feels very satisfied.

"The King's second simulation has also ended. Sigh, the era of King Arthur really has many dangers."

Lin Ye cannot help but sigh. It is also a Heroic Spirit life simulation; look at Diarmuid, his simulation ended in one go, and it was quite perfect.

[Master, a reminder. Your Diarmuid simulation has been cleared. Do you wish to choose a new target character?]

"Draw, of course draw."

Why else did he come here, if not for the simulation? Of course he must draw.

[Very well, Master, congratulations on drawing the target character: Hassan of the Hundred Faces. Do you wish to begin the simulation?]

Hassan of the Hundred Faces?

For a moment, Lin Ye feels very helpless. Hassan of the Hundred Faces, to be honest, he has heard the legend of the Old Man of the Mountain, but that is just hearing about it.

The reason is simple: the Old Man of the Mountain is a group of assassins, and their stories basically cannot be found in records, not to mention the Pan-Human History of the Type-Moon world. So Lin Ye can truly be said to be a bit at a loss.

After all, the transmigrator's greatest cheat, foreknowledge, is basically useless.

"Forget it, if it's useless, it's useless. With my current strength, what does it matter if it's useless?"

"System, simulate!"

[Very well, Master, simulation begins. Your implanted identity: Traveler. Starting now.]

Swish!

As the system's voice falls, at this moment, in the Seljuk Empire, inside a dark and damp room, a girl who looks no more than ten years old silently raises her head.

[Do you wish to conduct a life simulation?

Yes/No]

"Who... who is talking!"

The girl shouts weakly, but no one responds to her.

[Do you wish to conduct a life simulation? If No, an AI will take your place.

Yes/No]

The system's voice rings out again. At this moment, the girl finally understands that this voice is ringing in her own mind, so she nods directly and says:

"That is... Yes?"

Anyway, she is already locked in a cage; how much worse can it get?

[Simulation begins:

The first day, morning: You are locked in a prison of the Seljuk Empire. On the same day, you see a group of soldiers carrying a man who has passed out and throwing him into the cell opposite yours.

The first day, afternoon: You see that man wake up, then stare blankly at this prison and curse, saying things like "What a shitty start" and "I have never suffered such grievances."

The first day, night: The warden comes. After looking at you all, he finally decides to take you out to interrogate you. You tremble in fear, but you still cannot resist. Just as you are about to be dragged away, that strange man suddenly stands out.]

That’s right, this strange man is precisely Lin Ye. And at this moment, Lin Ye, sitting at home, also has a headache looking at this scene, because:

[Looking at the situation in front of you, you choose:

Option 1: You beast, let that girl go!

Option 2: Don't be nosy, better to escape first.]

"Choose one!"

Just choose one. I can be considered a small expert now; I can even slay dragons, can I be afraid of a group of small fries like you!

So at this moment, in front of the girl:

[You see that man smash the cell door open with one punch, then his body flashes and he arrives in front of you. You see him punching and kicking wildly, and a group of soldiers are sent flying directly! When he solves the last warden and takes the key from his hand, you see him turn back and shout loudly to you all:

"You are free!"

Subsequently, he opens the prison door and walks out. At this moment, you choose:]

[Option 1: Anyway, I have nowhere to go. He is my savior; I should repay him.]

[Option 2: Someone so powerful won't look at someone like me; better not disturb him.]

"Choose... choose... I choose one."

The girl struggles for a moment, but finally decides to choose one. After all, she is just a helpless girl now, and she truly does not know where she should go.

Moreover, if such a heroic figure really saved her, she would definitely be very happy.

(PS: Because no one knows if the Hundred Faces is male or female, but since the FGO final ascension image uses the big sister, I will use the big sister here.

Also, this Hassan segment will be very short, mainly because I truly cannot find the literature. I bought the King Arthur trilogy to write the King Arthur chapter, but I really cannot find the story of the Old Man of the Mountain. Only Marco Polo's Travels has a few words, so please bear with any mistakes.)

As the girl finishes choosing the option, the simulation on Lin Ye’s side also begins to change.

[You discover that when you walk out of the prison, the girl you saved is following behind you. You choose:]

[Option 1: Go away, go away, bringing a drag is so troublesome.

Option 2: Come, come, the little girl is helpless and truly pitiful.]

"This..."

Lin Ye looks at the two options in front of him, thinks for a moment, and says:

"Choose one... No, this little girl looks extraordinary; if she were an ordinary person, how could the system provide options? Choose two, she should be a plot NPC."

[You agree to her, so she follows behind you very happily. You ask her what her name is, and she says she is an orphan and has no name. You give her a name, let her take your surname, and seeing her petite figure, you call her Lin Xiaoxiao.]

"Great!"

The girl, no, Lin Xiaoxiao, looks at this scene happily. This big brother is so good; following behind him should be very good.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao also watches on very happily.

[The third day: You discover that Lin Ye always arranges for you to stay in the room while he goes everywhere to search, so you ask him. He tells you he wants to join the Assassins, so he is looking for a guide everywhere. You hear this and happily tell him that you are a believer of the Assassins, and that you were caught by the Seljuk soldiers precisely because you were an Assassin believer. Hearing your words, Lin Ye is very happy.

The fourth day: You lead Lin Ye to a secret Assassin stronghold. Seeing you brought an outsider, the person in charge is very angry and wants to drive you away, but Lin Ye reveals his strength, and the person in charge is shocked.

The fifth day: The person in charge comes to find you. He tells you that joining the Assassins is possible, but it requires a "letter of introduction" (a token of loyalty). So he asks Lin Ye to bring the head of a Seljuk governor as a token. Lin Ye agrees.]

"A token of loyalty? That's not easy." Lin Ye feels it is quite simple; after all, for him, this is not a difficult task.

The Assassins, remnants of the Fatimid Caliphate. After the Fatimid Caliphate was destroyed by the Seljuk Empire, they embarked on a path of "restoring the old regime."

[The fifth day, night: You take Xiaoxiao to the home of the Mosul governor. Relying on your illusion technique, you go unimpeded and cut off his head directly. What shocks you quite a bit is that Xiaoxiao beside you is not afraid at all, but instead looks at you with admiration.

The sixth day: You bring the head of the Mosul governor to the secret stronghold. Looking at your "gift," the person in charge is overjoyed, and subsequently decides to take you to Alamut to join the Assassins as your guide.

The seventh day: On the road.

The eighth day: On the road...

The ninth day: Still on the road. Feeling bored, you decide to teach Xiaoxiao some self-defense techniques. She happily agrees and calls you Teacher.

The tenth day: The girl's self-defense techniques are taking shape...

The twelfth day: You arrive at Alamut. You discover that the people here are quite agile; although they cannot compare to Arthur's knights, in one-on-one combat, they exceed many soldiers.

The fourteenth day: The girl's self-defense techniques are mastered. Someone takes you to a gathering. The guide tells you that if you want to become an outstanding Assassin, you must first pass an assessment. You nod in agreement, and what surprises you is that Xiaoxiao beside you also wants to participate.]

"Where Teacher is, I am!" Xiaoxiao says this. She has been smart since she was young; she understands very well who is good to her. She does not ask to help Lin Ye with anything, but at least she does not want to become a burden.

[Seeing that you also want to participate in the selection, Lin Ye is surprised but nods in agreement.

The fifteenth day: Lin Ye teaches you methods to exercise your body. You learn...

The nineteenth day: Lin Ye teaches you modern mathematics. You are learning...

The 22nd day: Lin Ye teaches you biology. You understand human anatomy.

The 28th day: Lin Ye teaches you modern chemistry. Your research on poisons improves.]

"What kind of monster is this little loli! My bit of modern knowledge, and you learned seven or eight out of ten in just one month?"

Something is wrong! Very wrong!

"No, she already acknowledged me as her teacher; if I don't bring out some real goods, wouldn't I lose face?"

[The 33rd day, Lin Ye begins to teach you Chinese, but you do not learn it.]

Xiaoxiao: "Impossible! There is nothing in this world I cannot learn!"

Xiaoxiao clicks on the information for this day unconvinced, and sees the scene of Lin Ye teaching her Chinese.

Question 1: Hassan says: "On the night-walking clothes, besides the badge, don't wear anything else." Please ask what he means:

A: Wear anything on the clothes.

B: Cannot wear anything on the clothes.

C: Can only wear the badge on the clothes.

D: Cannot wear the badge on the clothes.

Genius girl...

Question 2: Mingming clearly understands that Baibai likes her. Please ask:

A: Mingming confessed to Baibai.

B: Baibai confessed to Mingming.

C: Baibai likes Mingming.

D: Mingming likes Baibai.

Flipping the table!

"What is all this!"

The girl is confused. Is Chinese really this difficult! Does Lin Ye really understand the meaning of these questions?

Many years later, the girl who is proficient in eight languages still only dares to say "I know a little, I know a little" when facing Chinese.

[The 38th day: The assessment begins. Lin Ye takes you to the examination hall. The assessment is divided into three levels. The first level: You must steal the mask from the target person. You pass with difficulty, and then you see Lin Ye walk directly to the target person, knock him out with one punch, and take the mask...

The 39th day: Second level: Let you eavesdrop on a conversation without being discovered, then return to the examination hall and write down the conversation. You are smart and pass directly. Then you see Lin Ye grab two people, one in each hand, bring them back, and make them say it again in front of everyone, and he writes it down word for word...!

The 40th day: Third level: Infiltrate a mansion, kill the target person without being discovered. You rely on the abilities you learned during this time to successfully defeat the opponent, and then you see Lin Ye kill everyone in the mansion, including the target, by himself...

The 41st day: You successfully pass the assessment and become an excellent assassin, but your teacher does not pass. You see your teacher press the examiner's head to the ground and ask loudly:

"I solved everyone who saw me; isn't this a perfect infiltration? Why won't you let me pass!"

Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the examiner is speechless, and finally helplessly gives Lin Ye a pass.]

Xiaoxiao...

"What he said is indeed... very reasonable."

What Teacher says is always right!
