Chapter 141 Don't be a chess piece, just a chess player!
After receiving Rorschach's affirmative answer, the gazes of the three present looking at him suddenly softened a lot.

Torres nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, reached out and patted Rorschach's shoulder, expressing his approval:

"Very well, with your fresh blood joining the Knights Templar, they will continue to guide the progress of mankind and bring order to this world."

"In a few days, when our Mr. Traitor arrives, you will be able to perform the induction ceremony together and officially join the Knights Templar!"

Hearing this, Luo Xia frowned, but pretended to be a little puzzled, and asked:
"Mr. Traitor?"

"Oh, you don't know about this yet..."

After taking their seats one after another, Torres began to explain: "Rorschach, I told you before, the thousand-year grievances between the Knights Templar and the Brotherhood of Assassins, right?"

Rorschach nodded.

Speaking of assassins, Torres frowned all of a sudden:

"Those killers who advocate chaos and disorder and only hide in the dark are our greatest enemies in enlightening people and establishing order in the world. But not every assassin is so firm in their own beliefs..."

"There was a traitor named Duncan Walpole, who couldn't stand the backwardness and laxity of the Assassin Organization, and planned to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, and threw himself into the arms of the great father of insight. Moreover, he claimed to have brought important information about the Assassin Organization! "

"Originally, we were supposed to meet here three days ago. But, as you can see, he was late..."

Hearing this, Luo Xia's expression suddenly changed, "So that's how it is..."

Although it appears so on the surface.

However, Rorschach knew very well in his heart that the assassin traitor Duncan Walpole was not just late, but had already been buried on a small island in the Caribbean Sea.

And another "Duncan Walpole" will come to meet them...

Just as Rorschach's thoughts were turning, Rogers, who was sitting aside, expressed his worries;

"Your Excellency, do you think he will suddenly go back on his word? Or maybe other assassins found out about his intention to betray..."

Hearing this, Torres stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head, "I don't think it's possible, I've been in contact with him for a while, if I really want to regret it, I wouldn't choose to meet him again Before. Whether he will be discovered or not, we don't know."

"No matter which possibility it is, all we can do now is wait..."

at dusk.

After eating dinner and getting the "prey list" for the next two months from Torres, Rorschach walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

Looking down at the yellow envelope in his hand, Rorschach couldn't help but recall what Torres said to himself before he left:

"Rorschach, the Knights Templars in the Caribbean will hold a rally tomorrow, and you can meet other people at that time..."

Until this moment, he understood that his plan to join the Knights Templar had completed the first step.

Next, he will make good use of these Templars who hide their desire to control everything under high-sounding reasons to accomplish their goals...

. . .

The next day, Rorschach met Ducasse in the bustling Havana market, and then they came to a mansion in a residential area together.

Inside the mansion, many well-dressed men and women have already gathered.

The men and women present were all Templar knights, belonging to the Caribbean branch of the Templar Knights, and they were all Torres' subordinates.

Under the introduction of Ducasse and Rogers, Rorschach quickly integrated into this Templar gathering.

In this assembly, there were Spanish and English nobles, as well as thieves and privateers.

Among them, the names of several Templars reminded Rorschach of a side mission in the game:
Lucia Marquez, Hillary Flint, Kenneth Abraham, Kim Lan, and Julian Ducasse, each of these five held a key.

As long as you collect the keys in the hands of the five Templars, you can open a mechanism cage in the hidden base on Great Inagua Island.

Inside, there was a skull and a set of Templar Assassin outfits.

He didn't know the story behind this skeleton.

Perhaps a Templar intended to betray the Templars to the Brotherhood of Assassins like Duncan Walpole did, but was unfortunately discovered and eventually died in captivity...

What caught Rorschach by surprise was that in this remote West Indies, he actually met another "compatriot" from the far east

After learning that Luo Xia claimed to be an aristocrat of the Ming Dynasty, this oriental woman dressed in Qing Dynasty women's clothing and with her black hair tied into a bun held a wine glass and found him.

The woman's name is Jinlan.

According to her own statement, after she broke with her father, who was a general of the Qing Dynasty, she came to Europe to make a living.

"Forgive me, Your Excellency Luo Xia, didn't the Ming Kingdom be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty?"

Facing Jin Lan's doubts, Luo Xia's heart tightened a little, and he explained with his usual expression:

"Yes, but we Han Chinese will never submit to those Tartars! So, we went underground, have you heard the name Tiandihui?"

Seeing that the other party shook his head, Rorschach relaxed a little, and then began to fool Jin Lan with the rhetoric of Torres.

"When I came to Europe, I also followed the Ming Emperor's order to find allies.

"We are developing our forces in secret, hoping that one day we will be able to counterattack the mainland and overthrow the rule of the Tartars..."

Under Luo Xia's half-truth and half-fake performance, Jin Lan had no doubts about him and believed his nonsense.

After successfully surviving this identity crisis, Rorschach kept the names of all the Templars present firmly in his mind while talking politely with the Templars.

This is very precious information.

It is also an important bargaining chip for him to contact the Assassin Brotherhood and gain their trust.

As for whether these Templars would be assassinated by assassins at that time, that was out of Rorschach's consideration.

Let alone, he is not familiar with these people.

Furthermore, when these Templars die, his status in the Templar Order will rise.

If all his subordinates are dead, Torres, as the supreme master, can only rely on him, a capable and powerful subordinate.

By then, he will definitely have much more resources than he has now.

And the most important point is that the Knights Templar and the Brotherhood of Assassins are like black and white chess on a chessboard, fighting each other.

And Rorschach never thought about becoming a pawn of a certain side.

If you want to do it, just be a chess player on the chessboard!
