After a long time, my lips parted.

It wasn't until this moment that Evie was aware of her bold move just now.

This was the first time she kissed the opposite sex on her own initiative, and it was her first kiss!

Thinking of this, Evie's pretty face blushed slightly, she couldn't help lowering her head, picked up the holy wrap around her neck, and changed the subject:

"Is this the legendary holy shroud?"

Seeing Evie's shyness, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile slightly, and while helping Evie up from the grass, he nodded in response:

"Yes."

"The legend is indeed true, it can really heal all injuries... By the way, where is Starry?"

Pointing to the entrance of the treasure house, Lu Qi frowned slightly, and said lightly:

"under..."

Immediately afterwards, he told Evie the whole process of going to the underground palace, killing Starry, and taking the holy shroud.

Although she was not there, Evie could still feel Lu Qi's efforts to save her from Lu Qi's narration.

Blinking her green eyes like a pool of autumn water, Yiwei suddenly hugged Lu Qi, buried her head in his arms, and said softly:

"Thank you Alex, you saved my life..."

It seemed that the kiss just now made Evie's emotions that had been hidden in her heart instantly released.

She was originally a woman who dared to love and hate, and was generous.

Lu Qi wasn't too surprised by this, he just tightened his arms around Yi Wei, bringing their hearts closer.

After all, I kissed you just now, and now I hug you, there is nothing to make a fuss about...

After hugging for a while, the two reluctantly separated.

Looking at the pitch-black entrance of the treasure house, Evie took off the holy wrap around her neck, looked at Lu Qi, and asked:

"Alex, what should we do with it?"

Lu Qi did not answer, but instead asked:

"What do you think?"

"Actually, I've been looking for it all the time, but I never thought about what to do if I really found it."

"Besides, if it weren't for you, the Holy Shroud would have fallen into the hands of the Templars long ago. So, it's up to you to deal with it!"

After finishing speaking, Evie stuffed the Holy Shroud into Lu Qi's hands without hesitation.

Looking at the Holy Shroud in his hand, Lu Qi couldn't help but fell into deep thought...

In fact, from the moment he won the Holy Shroud, Lu Qi was waiting for a system prompt in his mind.

However, the system has remained silent.

Obviously, he has not yet met the task requirements for completing [Pieces of Eden].

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but look back at the entrance of the treasure house, and then said:

"The existence of the treasure house has been known to the Templars. Even if the key is in our hands, it is inevitable that there will be another Crawford Starry, who will try his best to open the treasure house in order to find the Holy Shroud."

"So, I think we should move the Holy Shroud to another safe place!"

Evie agrees with Lu Qi's idea very much.

After re-closing the entrance to the treasure house, Lu Qi folded the holy wrap and put it into the special interlayer of the tuxedo before returning to the ball with Evie.

Although limited by the bulky skirt on her body, she was unable to enter the treasure house, which was a pity. However, the two good news of finding the Holy Shroud and killing the Grand Master of the Templars were enough to make Evie overjoyed.

Not to mention, presenting her first kiss to the person she likes made Evie forget all her unhappiness and regrets.

After a good time at the ball, the two boarded a carriage and left Buckingham Palace...  

. . .

Back on the train carriage, Green and Jacob, who had been waiting for news from the two, learned everything that happened at the ball from Lu Qi's eloquence.

Looking at the holy shroud covered in golden light on the table, Green turned his head and said a little excitedly:

"What exciting news! Starry is dead, the Shroud has been found, and London is far from being liberated,

We've taken another big step forward! "

"Next, as long as we continue to clean up Starry's remnants, then the day of London's liberation is just around the corner..."

Ignoring the big Indian brother's impassioned statement, feeling the silkiness of the holy shroud with his hands, Jacob asked without looking back:

"By the way, what should we do with this glowing thing?"

Hearing this, Yi Wei told Lu Qi's proposal.

"I agree very much! Now that we have found the Holy Shroud, there is no reason for the Templars to take it away... Well, I will immediately write to the Assassin Council to discuss where the Holy Shroud should be stored."

"Before then, I think it will be safer for the Holy Shroud to be kept by Alex. What do you think?"

Hearing Green's words, Lu Qi couldn't help but move in his heart.

Nice, Henry!

The reason why Lu Qi proposed to transfer the Holy Shroud is for this reason!

The transfer is not something that can be completed in a short while, so before the transfer, there must be someone to temporarily keep the holy shroud.

And that person, besides him who is the strongest, calmest, and most handsome in the assassin team, who else could he be? !

Just when Lu Qi was praising the Indian brother in his heart, the ignorant guy appeared:

"Why? I can keep this thing too..."

Although he was not very interested in the Holy Shroud, the rebellion in his bones still made Jacob ask this question.

However, Evie's answer was also very strong:

"Because he is more cautious and powerful than you, and he snatched the holy shroud from Starry himself. So, Alex is the most qualified to keep it. Is there a problem?"

Being stunned by his sister with reasonable reasons, Jacob could only "cut" and turned his head away.

Seeing this, the Indian brother on the side spoke in a very timely manner:

"Alex, then please..."

After receiving the Holy Shroud, Lu Qi, who was excited inside, tried to stay calm, and said seriously:

"I'll protect it with my life, I promise."

Putting the Holy Shroud into an exquisite box, Lu Qiping regained his composure, and became the calm and cautious decision maker again:

"After Starry's disappearance, there will definitely be a power vacuum within the Knights Templar, and even a turmoil for power. If we can grasp this critical moment, we can take the opportunity to severely damage the Knights Templar..."

"Next, we should proceed from two aspects. While using the Nighthawk Gang to attack the Mob Gang, we should eradicate the remaining high-level members of the Templar Knights..."

. . .

Lu Qi's guess about the side missions is correct.

He has to become the owner of the Holy Shroud in order to meet the requirements of the side quest [Piece of Eden].

Therefore, after he kept the Holy Shroud for more than 24 hours, the cold system prompt finally sounded in his mind:

[The "Pieces of Eden" mission has been completed! 】
