At this time, Ben was completely stunned.
The change happened too fast, just like a tornado.
A moment ago, he was still wondering why the people he was delivering letters to all acted like they were giving riddles and couldn't just talk normally.
Now, this family is already broken?
"It's okay, this game has just started."
"We have to trust Boss Lucas!"
Despite having a lot of past issues, Ben, who had a lot of fun in the previous "Uncharted," still chose to believe Boss Lucas.
At night, Ben controlled Ezio to climb to the tower window where his father was being held and talked to him.
But what surprised Ben was that Ezio's father seemed to have expected to be imprisoned for a long time.
He told Ezio to return home, where there was a hidden room with evidence that could save them and give it to the magistrate, Uberto.
That is, a fat man who had previously appeared at Ezio's house.
"So that's it! Everything is planned!"
After the conversation, Ben's face was filled with realization as the mission information was updated.
Everything is going according to plan, just a false alarm.
Ben happily returned home, and at the same time, Ezio in the game unlocked the Eagle Vision skill, finding clues about the hidden room through some hints.
After opening the hidden room, he discovered the box placed inside.
And inside the box, there was a letter and a set of assassin's gear.
A long sword, assassin's clothes, and throwing knives, but there was no hidden blade as shown in the previous promotional trailer.
"So, Ezio's dad is also an assassin? An assassin family?!" Seeing this, Ben suddenly understood.
That explains it!
It all makes sense now!
Next, the plan is to rescue his dad and start the family's assassin legacy.
From Ezio's father to Ezio.
Very reasonable!
With the BGM playing that he heard while climbing the tower with his brother, Ezio equipped the assassin's clothes and weapons from the box.
I have to say, there's some truth to the saying that clothes make the man.
While Ezio was already a handsome young man, his look was more like a well-off gangster.
But after putting on this assassin's outfit, his handsomeness immediately went up a level.
He even felt a bit of a breeze as he walked.
"So, next, I need to give this evidence to that Uberto guy and rescue my family, right?"
Looking at the mission objective in the game, Ben turned around twice in place and prepared to go to the mission objective location to give the letter to the man named Uberto and clear his family's name.
Just as Ben was about to set off, two soldiers appeared at the gate of the manor, wanting to kill Ezio completely.
"Finally, a weapon fight!"
Looking at the scene entering combat, Ben was also a little expectant.
After all, although he had fought several times before, they were all hand-to-hand combats.
But now he has unlocked a brand new weapon system.
Drawing the straight sword from his waist, Ben slashed at the two assassins in front of him.
Unlike the original in his past life, Lucas had made many action modifications to "Assassin's Creed."
First of all, more flexible movements, instead of being stiff like the second game in his past life, where you could only fight one by one when facing a group fight.
Of course, so far, players have not unlocked all the combat skills in the game.
For example, parrying, because Ezio has not yet repaired the hidden blade. In addition, the kill streak system is also temporarily not included here.
Because Ezio is not an assassin right now.
But despite this, with the help of side steps, ordinary blocking, and combos.
It also made Ben sure of one thing, that is, the difficulty of "Assassin's Creed" is not very high.
In fact, that's true. If you just want to complete the game, the difficulty of "Assassin's Creed" will not be very high.
But there is a special setting in the game, that is, synchronization rate.
The real difficulty lies in how to achieve perfect synchronization, which is the more difficult part of "Assassin's Creed."
Without much effort, Ben quickly took down the two small fry in front of him.
In the city of Florence, in addition to ordinary passers-by, there are many hostile forces.
But not the guards in the city, but the former subordinates of the Pazzi family.
Before getting a weapon, Ben avoided these people on the road, but now that he has the assassin's gear, Ben doesn't think so much, he goes wherever there are many people.
After killing a dozen people along the way, Ben arrived at the mission objective location and gave the letter to the fat man, Uberto.
But what made him feel a little strange was that this fat man named Uberto didn't seem like a good person, and he smiled very cunningly.
Finally, when he said that his home was big and that Ezio was welcome to sleep at his house, it felt particularly sinister.
The following plot also confirmed Ben's guess.
The next day, Ezio mingled in the crowd and arrived at the town square, where Uberto was presiding over the trial.
Ezio's father shouted that he was innocent, saying that the evidence was in the envelope that Uberto received.
But the other party denied it outright, saying that he had never received any letters. Obviously, this fat man had betrayed Ezio and his father.
So, 17-year-old Ezio could only watch his father and brother be hanged.
"Damn! They really died!?"
Ben in the game was stunned as he watched Ezio's family being hanged.
What about a happy family?
But Ben didn't have much time to sigh, because Ezio was also facing the pursuit of soldiers at this time. The key point was that the sword in Ezio's hand was directly broken in the plot, so Ben was unarmed now.
Fortunately, with the help of a thief friend of Ezio's father, Ben barely escaped the pursuers and came to a brothel called The Rose in Bloom, opened by Paola, a relative of the maid at home.
"That's it! Boss Lucas is about to start showing his 'love' again!" Seeing Ezio's family temporarily settled at The Rose in Bloom, Ben in the game was also full of speechlessness.
And he was very friendly in the previous "Uncharted," but this new work "Assassin's Creed" immediately gave the player a knife without saying a word.
Although it is only in the early stages of the game, all kinds of plots show the player the intimacy of the family.
Climbing the tower with his brother to see a doctor, helping his younger brother find feathers, is it just to cut the player and make them bleed next?
Although it's not as uncomfortable as watching Arthur Morgan gradually weaken and finally die on the mountain in "Red Dead Redemption," it's still a little hard to take.
After sighing a couple of times, Ben refocused his attention on the game.
Paola, the madam who took in Ezio and his family, revealed some information, that is, she had once received help from Ezio's father, who had saved her life before.
So Paola began to teach Ezio some small tricks on how to hide himself.
And let Ezio go to Da Vinci and repair the assassin's hidden blade based on a secret letter.
Next, Ezio learned a message from Paola that Uberto would be attending the unveiling ceremony of Verrocchio's latest work at night, located in the cloister of the Basilica di Santa Croce.
"So now I should be going to the Basilica di Santa Croce to kill that fat traitor, right?"
Looking at the mission prompts, Ben took a deep breath.
Although the death of Ezio's family made him a little sad.
But he still has the expectation of the following plot, especially the "Assassin's Creed" trailer he had seen before reappeared in his mind.
After all, the name of the game is "Assassin's Creed."
Stealth, assassination, this will definitely be a more core gameplay.
Now it's finally getting to the main event.
Taking a deep breath, Ben controlled Ezio to push open the door of The Rose in Bloom.
The next moment... the screen suddenly jumped out, came to the animus space, and a prompt popped up in front of Ben.
