Otherworldly Architect

As soon as the camera turns in the game, it is [twenty years later] in the blink of an eye.

After Bruno's death, due to the stricter supervision of the church, the wizarding meeting had to come to an end.

But the wizards did not give up, and with the help of Bluebell, they moved to a new city to continue their research.

There, the wizards elected a new leader, Galileo.

At this time, Zhou Liye, because of his excellent performance in many previous missions, is now an elite-level silver assassin.

Zhou Liye's current main task is not to protect Galileo from running around, but to get an astronomical telescope for Galileo.

There are still some differences from history here, because Galileo was actually born hundreds of years after Bruno...

But the game chooses to make the plot more compact, which is understandable.

Astronomical telescopes in this era are basically the property of the church, and they do not allow civilians to produce and use such things, and even the production of special lenses requires a license.

In order to get this astronomical telescope, Zhou Liye has been doing tasks for two consecutive nights.

After experiencing many obstacles and sacrificing two assassins and several outsiders, they finally got the astronomical telescope and moved to Galileo's hut.

This hut was built on the top of the mountain, and it was very hidden. The outside was full of flowers, plants and parasitic plants. Every road was guarded by special assassins.

Every night, Zhou Liye set foot on the winding path, and when he slowly climbed up, he could see a faint hut and the starry sky.

Thinking that Galileo was observing the stars inside, he felt as if he was on a pilgrimage.

The next stage of the task is to **** other wizards and materials while waiting for Galileo's research.

Copernicus, Bruno, Galileo... The reason why these wizards observe the starry sky every day is to record the running trajectories of some constellations. By calculating the changes in the trajectories, a better heliocentric model can be established.

If one day the trajectory predicted by the model exactly matches the observations, that means they succeeded!

But for that, they need a lot of observational data.

Copernicus left a part, Bruno a part, but it wasn't enough.

The observation of celestial bodies is usually in units of years, ten years, and centuries. Some comets only appear once in hundreds of years, and each observation record is precious.

This is not a generation or two's business, but a mission passed down from generation to generation by all wizards for many years.

Just like a little spark, it was carefully cared for and passed down, until the right time, it can be turned into a prairie fire.

Galileo was the one who took the last baton. He led the students day and night in total seclusion in a hut on the mountain.

During this period, Zhou Liye took on several side missions one after another.

Wizards from all over the world have different star observation records. After they learned about Galileo's news one after another, they chose to send the records by various means.

Like a spark that stretches, a little light is dedicated from every corner of the world, weak but unstoppable.

Not only Copernicus... Every ordinary night, there are countless people looking up at the stars reverently.

But things took a turn.

The people of the church wiped out a branch of Bluebell through a traitor.

When Zhou Liye returned from a mission that day, he was almost killed by the waiting Templars.

He was full of anger and wanted to take revenge, but the first mandatory order he received from Bluebell was to save Galileo and transfer him and his apprentices as safely as possible.

After this incident, Bluebell suffered a lot of losses, but did not speak out.

Because of their forbearance, although the church began to suspect Galileo, there was no conclusive evidence.

In the end, the church decided to arrest Galileo on the charge of "illegal use of binoculars". This crime could only be fined, and Bluebell had already collected bail, but the church held the person without trial.

Without trial, there is no sentencing, and without sentencing, they can delay indefinitely.

From this day on, Zhou Liye began to disguise himself as a jailer, trying to sneak into the prison every day to visit Galileo.

Although Galileo was absent, his apprentices continued their research.

When the apprentices encountered problems, they entrusted Zhou Liye to carry the paper and go to the prison to connect with Galileo.

Galileo, in the dirty and cramped environment of the cell, lit a small candle that was hidden every day, and continued to study secretly under the cover of Zhou Liye.

During the day, Zhou Liye brought Galileo's results out.

The final turning point is the material sent by another wizard, Kepler.

He invented a new algorithm for elliptic curves that fits perfectly with the heliocentric model.

After trying his best to break through the barriers, he sent a lot of information.

Like the last piece of the tangram puzzle, the heliocentric task finally came to an end.

After the heliocentric model was completed, the apprentices held back their surprises and continued to observe every day.

The observations and the predictions of the model are basically in perfect agreement!

Everyone who heard this news was greatly excited, and even the Assassins realized that the world was about to face a huge change.

- Now they know that the sun is the center of the universe! The sun is immobile, and there is no divine power working in it. The earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit!

Zhou Liye went back immediately to tell Galileo the good news.

Galileo sat down dumbfounded, his fists clasped together, crying and laughing.

He took the paper, looked at the light from the iron fence, looked at it, and said, "How come there are still two decimals that don't match?"

Zhou Liye knew everything, and he wanted to say: Because this model has not taken into account the influence of gravity, it will not be until Newton discovers universal gravitation and Einstein publishes the theory of relativity that the prediction will be accurate to a few decimal places. …

But he smiled and said nothing.

Because this spark has been passed down to this day, it is already a bright torch, but it will be passed on slowly, and countless great scientists will dedicate their lives to it.

This is the eternal cause of human civilization.

After this, heliocentrism began to spread widely among wizards.

The church found out about this for the first time, but it was too late. They were so embarrassed that they decided to sentence Galileo—

Life imprisonment!

Even if there is not enough evidence, even if the sentence is too severe, they still ruthlessly enforce the verdict.

The day he heard the news, Zhou Liye rushed into the prison, trying to save Galileo, but the church had already removed him.

Zhou Liye returned to the bluebell branch in despair.

There, he met two master assassins from the headquarters, one of them patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "We will not give up every like-minded partner."

this moment.

Zhou Liye saw the hope of rescuing Galileo again.

He was still thinking: how wonderful it would be if there was such a bluebell in history!

Thinking about it, Zhou Liye paused the game first.

In front of the audience in the live broadcast room, he couldn't help but check the information.

Although everyone in this era respects historical celebrities, most of them do not want to know their lives. Many people especially hate seeing people's names in science class, and some people say: "Knowing the theorem is enough, why do you need to know who discovered the theorem?"

But at this moment, everyone is watching, and they want to know the end of Galileo too much.

They see:

After Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Inquisition, he was unable to re-exit for life;

Five years later, he gradually lost his sight, and the night scene was desolate;

Four years later, Galileo died of exhaustion.

Before his death, he couldn't touch his telescope for a long time, so he continued his early years of mechanics research.

Zhou Liye took a tissue, wiped his tears, and said, "Bluebell! Bluebell!"

He has already said nothing, but everyone in the live broadcast room can understand what he means.

[Master Assassin is so awesome, he can definitely be rescued]

[I can't wait to travel back and destroy those Templar knights! I'm **** off! 】

[I also checked, this unjust case was not rehabilitated until more than 300 years later! 】

【I want to have bluebells too! It's good to have it, and Galileo must be rescued! 】

Zhou Liye cried so much that the snot bubbles came out again, so he finally sorted out his emotions and went back to continue the game.

He was slightly groomed in Bluebell's branch, and then assigned to do the next task: participate in the induction ceremony of the new member and be her mentor.

The new member is called Vera, and Zhou Liye always thinks she looks familiar.

The assassins performed the ritual skillfully, and Vera solemnly said: [Listen to my oath and bear my testimony: I will be clothed in the dark night and march forward in the annihilation of all things. I will have no name and no surname, and I will not compete for all the honors and favors in the world. I will only believe in civilization, and never bow my head to the gods. We are assassins, dancers of darkness, and blades of light. Only the unintentional will live forever! 】

The former Zhou Liye also swore in this way. At that time, he only thought it was a cool-looking ceremony.

Now he has a deep feeling for the phrase "only believe in civilization, never bow to gods".

After the ceremony, Zhou Liye took the new members to collect her equipment.

On the way, they chatted for a while, and then Zhou Liye was stunned to find out: Vera's full name is Vera Bruno, and she is Bruno's little daughter!

After Bruno was arrested that year, his wife and daughter have been well protected by bluebells.

The 27-year-old Vera voluntarily joined the Bluebell Organization and is willing to add strength to this cause.

Zhou Liye couldn't help but go to Vera's side quest first, and found that she also has her own family and a very cute daughter.

In the evening, Vera would tell her daughter stories and interesting stories about her parents.

She kissed her daughter's forehead and asked her, "Baby, do you know why the sun rises and sets?"

"I know, mother. Because our earth revolves around the sun."
