Even without sufficient evidence, and even though such a sentence would be too harsh, they coldly carried out the verdict.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Liye rushed into the prison, hoping to rescue Galileo, but the church had already moved him away.
Zhou Liye returned to the Bluebell branch in a daze.
There, he encountered two master assassins from headquarters. One of them patted him on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "We will not abandon any like-minded partner."
This moment.
Zhou Liye saw hope again in rescuing Galileo.
He was still thinking: If there really was such a bluebell flower in history, how wonderful that would be!
After thinking it over, Zhou Liye paused the game.
In front of the viewers in the live stream, he couldn't resist looking up some information.
People these days respect historical figures, but most are unwilling to learn about their lives. Many especially dislike seeing names in science class, with some saying, "Knowing the theorem is enough; why do we need to know who discovered it?"
But at this moment, everyone was watching; they were all eager to know Galileo's fate.
They saw:
After Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Inquisition, he never returned to prison.
Five years later, he gradually lost his sight and lived a desolate old age.
Four years later, Galileo died from exhaustion and illness.
Before he died, he could no longer touch his telescope, so he continued his early research in mechanics.
Zhou Liye pulled out a tissue, wiping her tears as she said, "Bluebell! Bluebell!"
He had already spoken recklessly, but everyone in the live stream understood what he meant.
[The Assassin Master is so powerful, he can definitely be rescued.]
[I wish I could travel back in time and wipe out those Templar Knights!! They're driving me crazy!]
I also checked; this wrongful conviction wasn't overturned until more than three hundred years later!
I want bluebells too!! I wish I had some, we absolutely have to rescue Galileo!
Zhou Liye cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose. After finally calming down, she went back to continue playing the game.
He rested briefly at the Bluebell branch before being assigned his next task: to participate in the initiation ceremony of a new member and serve as her mentor.
The new member is named Vera, and Zhou Liye feels that she looks somewhat familiar.
The assassins performed the ritual with practiced ease, and Vera solemnly declared: "Hear my oath, bear witness: I will be cloaked in night, walking amidst the silence of all things. I will be nameless and faceless, seeking no worldly glory. I will believe only in civilization, never bowing to the gods. We are assassins, dancers hidden in darkness, blades that cleave the light. Only the heartless endure!"
Zhou Liye once took the same oath, and at the time he just thought it was a cool-looking ceremony.
Now, he has a deep understanding of the saying, "Have faith only in civilization, and never bow down to gods."
After the ceremony, Zhou Liye led the new members to collect her equipment.
They chatted for a while on the way, and then Zhou Liye was dumbfounded to discover that Vera's full name was Vera Bruno, and she was Bruno's youngest daughter!
After Bruno was arrested, his wife and daughter were well protected by Bluebell.
Vera, 27, voluntarily joined the Bluebells organization, hoping to contribute to this cause.
Zhou Liye couldn't resist doing Vera's side quest first, and discovered that she also had her own family and a very cute daughter.
In the evenings, Vera would tell her daughter stories about her parents' generation.
She kissed her daughter's forehead and asked, "Sweetie, do you know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?"
"I know, Mom. Because our earth revolves around the sun."
Chapter 154 The Devil Is Real
The plot of "The Way of the Assassins" thus spans the research careers of three wizards: Copernicus, Bruno, and Galileo, and finally concludes here.
The game doesn't provide a detailed walkthrough of whether Bluebell ultimately rescued the imprisoned wizard Galileo, but it does hint at it.
A new assassin who joined the organization successfully completed his mission, but he and Galileo had barely escaped the lion's den when they found themselves in danger again!
As for what happened next, there has been absolutely no further news.
The entire audience in the live stream was screaming in agony.
Zhou Liye slammed the table and exclaimed, "They're definitely planning to make it for the second part! That new assassin is definitely going to be the next game's protagonist, right? His first mission is to rescue Galileo, it has to be! Please, developers, it has to be! Waaaaaah..."
A reasonable guess.
Designers do think this way: isn't it normal to add a little suspense at the end of a work to set the stage for the next one?
Of course, given Blue Star's current state of "not even knowing how to count to two," it's hard to say when the next installment of "Assassin's Way" will be released.
Zhou Liye wasn't thinking that far ahead right now; he just wanted to finish clearing the remaining side quests.
After completing the main storyline of "The Way of the Assassin", players will automatically advance to the next level and unlock all maps.
Now, Zhou Liye can travel freely and do any side quest.
Of course, he can also choose not to do the quest and explore freely—for example, wipe out all the Templars in the city, explore the ancient ruins in the church's underground, or collect a lot of collectibles...
