Rodrigo suddenly turned toward him.<br />
"No more tricks," said Ezio, removing the daggers andJandola fall to the ground-. No more artifacts. Is hereBaron weapons. Now ... see what you are<br />
made, vecchio.<br />
A smile slowly bathed face Rodrigo broken and corrupt.<br />
"Okay ... if you want to play well.<br />
He took off his thick clothes to stay only in the tunic and stockings. A body fat, although compact and poStand, run by small ray of light, therefore the<br />
power of the staff. And immediately, he stepped forward and downloaded the firstmer blow, a malevolent hook to the chin of Ezio, which left him reeling.<br />
- Why could not you have let your father run?Pre-Rodrigo gunt lamenting at the time he lifted his foot to poke a hard kick to the stomach Ezio-. Had to<br />
continue pursuing it, though ... And you're like him. The Murderers are like mosquitoes to be crushed with his hand. I wish God had let that fool you hang<br />
yourself Alberti Juneyour whole family to do now twenty-seven.<br />
"The devil does not live in us, but you, the Tunerivers, "said Ezio, spitting out a tooth-. Believe you can play with people, with decent people, with normal<br />
people and cocurrent, do with it what you desire!<br />
"My dear friend," said Rodrigo, aiming a blow below the ribs Ezio- for it serves the people. Scum that rule and use. It was ever thus, and always will be.<br />
- Tables! "He gasped Ezio-. This match is immaterial. We expected a much more vital. But first tell me, what do you get in the vault behind that wall? Do<br />
not tietions and all the power you might need?<br />
Rodrigo looked surprised.<br />
- Do not know what is there behind? Have not you figured out the great and powerful Order of Murderers?<br />
Torpid tone of his voice stopped short to Ezio.<br />
"But what are you talking?<br />
Rodrigo's eyes shone.<br />
- By God! It God people who inhabit the Vault!<br />
Ezio was so stunned that failed to respond immediatelyately. He knew he faced a dangerous madman.<br />
"Listen, do you expect me to believe truly that God lives under the Vatican?<br />
- Does not it seem a more logical that a kingdom in a cloud? "Surrounded by singing angels and cherubs? It is an imagegene charming, but truth is<br />
much more interesting.<br />
- What does God down there?<br />
-Expect to be released.<br />
Ezio breath.<br />
"Suppose you think. What would you do if you think withcontinue to open that door? Rodrigo smiled.<br />
"That does not matter. What I seek not your approval ... But his power!<br />
- What do you think He'll diaria?<br />
"Whatever it is what is behind that wall, no postone to resist the combined strength of the Fruit of Eden and the Staff. Rodrigo paused-. The gods<br />
created to fierce ... whichwant to be the religion to which they belong.<br />
"But the Lord God is omniscient. Almighty. Do you really think that a couple of ancient relics canyou hurt?<br />
Rodrigo smiled with superiority.<br />
"I do not know anything about anything, kid. You create an image ofdor taken from an old book ... a book, however, written by men.<br />
- You're the Pope! How can you thus despise the most important text of Christianity?<br />
Rodrigo laughed.<br />
- Are you really so naive? I became pope, because this position gave me access. I was power! Do you think I believe a word he ordered that Book says<br />
ridiculous? Is carrynot lies and superstitions. Like any other religious treatedgious has been published since man learned to write!<br />
"There are those who would kill you for saying that.<br />
"Maybe. But I'm not losing any sleep. He paused-. Ezio, the Templars understand humanity, and therefore the despride in that way!<br />
Ezio was speechless, but continued to hear the Pope's speech pretentious.<br />
"When my work here is finished," continued Rodrigo- I think the first thing I will do is dismantle the Church, that men and women will be finally forced to<br />
take responsibility for their actions, and are finally courts as duedo. -Adopted a beatific expression-. It will be a beauty, the new world Templar ... governed<br />
by reason and order ...<br />
- How can you speak with reason and order, "interrupted Ezio, when your whole life has been ruled by violence and inmorality?<br />
"Oh, I know I am an imperfect being, Ezio," said the Pope, with a smirk. And do not pretend otherwise. But sabes? Morality has no award. Te stay with<br />
what you get, and you cling to it ... by all means. At the end of the extended hands-- You only live once!<br />
"If everyone lived according to your code," said Ezio atonyto- the world would be consumed by madness.<br />
- Exactly! As if I were not already! Rodrigo I pointed a finger-. Are you sleeping, perhaps, when I went to your history classes? A little over a hundred<br />
years our ancestors lived in the mud and manure, used by the ignorancia and religious fervor ..., starting up with the shadows, afraid of everything.<br />
"But it's time we left that and we became more sabios and stronger.<br />
Rodrigo laughed again.
