"That's you're right. It is an evil demon!<br />
"Well," Stefano said with a wry smile. At least I see that we agree on something.<br />
"They say the devil has given a speed and a strongsupernatural za Girolamo said lowering the tone.<br />
Stefano stared.<br />
-The devil? No, my friend. They are gifts that he has achieved all by himself, thanks to the rigorous training that has been subjected duduring year. He<br />
paused, his skinny body adopting a thoughtful position. You know, Girolamo? I find it disturbing that you're so unwilling to recognize the merits that the<br />

The monk retired after greeting with a nod and Stefano was left alone in the courtyard. Had sounded the campaignna announcing the First and Second<br />
Station of the Cross and the community had gathered in the abbey church. Ezio abandonednot the shadows like a specter. The sun shone with the weight<br />
iflenciosa noon. Stefano, with the appearance of crow, walkba stalking up and down the north wall, restless, impatient, possessed.<br />

"I'm unarmed," he said. Fight with the mind.<br />
"To use it, you need to stay alive. Will you be able tofenderte?<br />

"What I think is doblegarias you do not under any kind of torture.<br />
Stefano glanced evaluation.<br />
"I'll take that as a compliment, but I'm not so safero it. However, it is a matter of mere academic relevanceca. He paused before continuing his sharp<br />
voice: "You lost your chance, Ezio. The fate of death is cast. The cause of Murderers is a lost cause. I know I will kill whatever you do or say what I say, and<br />
I'll be dead before noonday. The Mass is ended, but my death will not avail you. The Templars have you already check, and soon you will have to jakill.<br />
"I do not have as clear.<br />
"I'm about to meet my Maker ... if finalmind exists. It will be gratifying to find out. And meanwhile, why should I lie?<br />

"Very clever," said Stefano. What will happen next?<br />
-Repair the bad you've done, "said Ezio. Tell me what you know.<br />
- What want know? Does the whereabouts of my master, Jacopo? "Stefano smiled. That is easy. Soon he will meet with our confederates, at night, in<br />

Maybe there is an afterlife from which to watch your death. But for now, get it over with this nasty business.<br />
The Abbey bell rang once more. Ezio had little time.<br />
"I think you could teach me many things," he said. Stefano looked at him sadly.<br />
"Not in this world," he said. It opened the neck of his robes. But please send me the fast at night.<br />
Ezio thrust a single stab wound, deep and with a pointlethal laugh.
