Six golden apples.
Sacred vessel.
Brotherhood, League of Assassins.
Temple, Knights Templar.
Isn't this "Assassin's Creed"?
Locke raised his eyebrows.
The next second.
Locke was stunned for a moment, looked at the golden apple in his hand, blinked his eyes, and urged the golden apple to be sacrificed at the cost of his life?
Why don't I need it?
……etc.
energy.
Locke thought of the first time he activated the golden apple. The energy he ran out for the first time was beyond Locke's imagination.
fortunately.
Locke's energy is beyond Golden Apple's imagination.
Locke thought about it and felt that it was right. Before he could obtain endless energy, he might be able to activate the golden apple at the cost of life energy.
Good guy.
Locke was frightened for a while, but fortunately, he was busy counting rewards at that time. When he was playing with the golden apple, the supreme talent had already arrived. If this was an accident, wouldn't he almost be ruined?
But……
Locke looked at the golden ball in his hand, but still couldn't connect it with apples: "Speaking of which, shouldn't apples have leaves? As for leaves, this thing, without leaves, looks nothing like apples. It doesn’t matter, it looks like a stone egg instead.”
Could it be that the leaves were removed by Sloan?
Locke blinked and thought of something. After all, Sloan estimated that it would not be long before he got this golden apple. After searching for a long time and failing to find a way to use it, it was expected that he would try swallowing it to see if it would have any effect.
A few days later.
After finishing his daily tasks for the day, Locke, who had received 2,000 achievement points and 2,000 potential points, was doing homework remotely with Gwen in the study through video chat.
Preparing for a competition in Maine in December.
at this time.
The satellite phone Locke placed next to him rang.
Gwen, who was making video calls with Locke, looked at Locke who was stuck mid-sentence and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Locke looked at Gwen in the video and smiled: "There's a call, I'll answer it."
Gwen also didn't doubt him: "Okay."
Locke stood up, grabbed the satellite phone, and walked outside the study.
Connected.
"Victoria?"
After the call was connected, Locke listened to the voice on the other side of the phone and said with some suspicion, didn't he say that Victoria had been arrested? What, had she escaped?
Or did you sell your customer list?
This is the instinct of survival. If your life is about to be lost, what secret can be compared to your own secret.
only……
Victoria over there said one sentence as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sorry, Wushuang."
Locke raised his eyebrows and walked from the second floor to the bar downstairs. After listening to these words, he paused while drinking: "Huh?"
"I was captured by the organization I betrayed."
"heard."
Locke resumed drinking and seemed to have thought of something. He said jokingly: "Was your original leader of the organization an old black slave with a one-eyed mask and a windbreaker?"
The Red Devil said that Victoria might be from this mysterious organization.
Locke just asked and didn't take it seriously.
but……
Victoria seemed a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"...Really?"
"Yeah, but Hardman wears an eyepatch, but he prefers to wear a beret instead of a windbreaker. On the day he arrested me, he was indeed wearing a windbreaker."
Really hammered!
The mysterious organization is S.H.I.E.L.D.
Locke raised his eyebrows.
An eyepatch is basically enough. The Hardman mentioned by Victoria is Nick Fury, the director of the legendary secret organization S.H.I.E.L.D.
Put it this way.
When people see the Hulk, they know the Hulk.
When people see Iron Man, they know Tony Stark.
And when people saw the old black slave wearing an eyepatch, he looked like a slave pretending to be a pirate, and he must be Nick Fury.
Just like the Hulk can only be transformed by Bruce Banner, the eyepatch can only be worn by Nick Fury.
only……
Locke took the wine glass and walked to the balcony, looking at the Central Park opposite the Star Building. He asked Victoria on the other side of the phone curiously: "How did you escape?"
Would Nick Fury let the defected Victoria go so easily?
"The Roman Brotherhood rescued me."
"……I am listening."
"Sorry, they know that I have had business dealings with you. They rescued me and wanted to know from me how to find you."
Blonde, blue-eyed, and sweet-looking, Victoria got on the private plane that came to pick her up, sipping the red wine in her mouth, with a smile on her face and saying sorry.
Locke was not surprised at all: "It's okay, just come out."
Again.
His life is almost gone, and no secret is worth his own life. Locke will not do this, and naturally, he will not ask others to do it.
It is normal for people in the Roman Brotherhood to know this.
After all, Victoria Knox is an arms dealer, and the only way an arms dealer can advertise is to tell new customers who her old customers are.
Originally, Locke's reputation was not very well-known among Victoria's customer base.
He's just an assassin.
But who makes Victoria Knox like credit? When faced with customers who want credit, in order to ensure that the customer will not fail to pay back the money, Locke will definitely be shown off.
so……
Locke lowered his head and smiled: "It's okay, I can understand."
If you offer it, just offer it.
The Peerless Assassin, this person does not exist at all. As long as he does not wear sunglasses, even if the opponent turns the entire earth upside down, it will be impossible to find him.
It's a pity that Locke thought wrong.
Victoria Knox over there said: "They must have useful clues, so I took your little friend..."
Locke narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "What kid?"
"Locke Broughton, that, your little friend, that's right."
"What?"
"Feel sorry."
Victoria Knox continued to apologize and said in a sweet tone: "If I don't give them an explanation, they will ask me to give them an explanation. They are very strong and unparalleled."
"Me too."
"Varied……"
Locke interrupted directly: "Goodbye, Victoria."
Finished.
Locke hung up the phone directly and neatly, and at the same time, blocked the sweet-looking Victoria Knox in his friend database.
I am giving you some further information to enhance friendship, not to betray you.
You betrayed Wushuang, as a friend, in order to protect yourself, I can understand it, and I won't blame you.
But it would be wrong for you to betray Locke.
