A trip to the second dimension

Chapter 9: Visit Florence (First Update)

The next day, early morning.

Ezio Auditore, who got up early as usual, found a stranger at the dinner table this morning.

This is a visitor from a foreign country. He is 16 years old, one year younger than himself. He looks like someone from Asia and his development is not very good. Judging from his height, he is only over 1.6 meters tall, but According to his father's introduction, this is an important guest of their Auditore family and must be well entertained.

The Auditore family paid enthusiastic attention to the unexpected guest.

Especially the four siblings Ezio, Federico, Petruchio and Claudia.

Because Hope was roughly the same age as them, the four of them were just surprised and curious about Hope.

Their mother, Maria Auditore, the wife of Giovanni Auditore, had already learned the identity and origin of Hope from Giovanni last night. For this young man, Hope, he was more grateful for saving his husband.

I hope to have a happy breakfast. In the environment of the main world, there is no such a peaceful and peaceful environment for him to eat.

Moreover, in terms of food alone, the soup and bread for breakfast taste pretty good.

Although I wish I wasn’t picky about food in the first place.

After breakfast, Giovanni gave Ezio's four children a few words, then put on his formal clothes and went out to do errands.

Looking at his upright figure, one would never imagine that this man almost fainted due to injuries yesterday.

Giovanni was secretly an assassin, but publicly he was a banker affiliated with the Medici family faction.

His children also always thought that their father was just an ordinary banker, and they even had headaches all day long about how boring it would be if they inherited the family business in the future.

Giovanni had already left. According to his father's instructions before leaving, Ezio and Federico, the two eldest brothers in the family, decided to take a look around the beautiful city of Florence with hope.

After leaving the Auditore house, Hope followed the two brothers on a neat and clean road.

I heard that Florence in the past was not as clean as it is now, but since Lorenzo de' Medici of the Medici family began to take control of the city. The entire city of Florence has undergone great changes from the inside out.

As the Auditore family was an ally of the Medici family, the two brothers were generous in their praise for Lorenzo.

"It's just a pity that the Arno River is still so smelly. I wonder when those guys will get rid of the habit of throwing garbage into the river."

Unlike his brother who praised Florence, Ezio, who was still in his rebellious stage, would interject a few words from time to time and point out the shortcomings of Florence at this time.

Although he seemed to hate Florence, Hope could also see that he was just expressing his love in another way.

Florence has four major areas, and the area they are in at this time is the San Marco area.

This is located in the northeast of Florence, and now Ezio and the others are hoping to visit the landmark building in this area - the Holy Cross Basilica.

"Look, this is the Basilica of Santa Croce. Founded in 1294, it is definitely the largest Franciscan church in the world. Its interior not only contains frescoes created by Giotto, but also has a Brunelleschi design The chapel. It’s wonderful, isn’t it? Many tourists and friends I know come here specifically to see it.”

Standing in a small square in front of the Holy Cross Basilica, Federico put his hands on his hips, looked up at the building in front of him, and explained to Hope with pride.

"It does look like a nice building."

Hope also raised his head and took a closer look at the ancient building in front of him. However, his not-so-high appreciation ability was not enough for him to appreciate the Holy Cross Temple, and his tone of voice did not seem to be the same. So true.

Seemingly realizing that Hope was not very interested in these arts, Ezio stood aside and directly suggested: "Hey! I said otherwise. It's not interesting to look at these houses all the time. Let's just go to the old market. I heard that there will be many merchants from other places there today. Maybe we can find some interesting things."

"I have no objection to this idea." Federico nodded first, then spread his hands and said, "My dear brother, do you have enough florins to cover our expenses?"

Seeing Ezio suddenly showing an embarrassed expression, Federico continued unreasonably: "Ha! It seems that you have wasted all your money on women and wine again, right?"

"I won't use the word 'waste'." Ezio rolled his eyes, spread his hands like Federico, and said: "And you see, this is the example you set for me. . In fact, you probably don’t have much money left at this time, right?”

After Ezio finished speaking, he reached out and patted Federico's money bag. There was no sound of the collision of coins inside.

Sure enough, just as Ezio guessed, his brother was also a little short of funds.

"Look, maybe we have to find a way to get some money first. Otherwise, it would be a bit rude if we couldn't entertain guests properly, wouldn't we?"

Federico said, and bowed slightly in the direction of hope, looking like a decent nobleman.

"Actually, you don't have to do this. Just take me for a walk. There's no need to be so particular."

In response, Hope waved his hands repeatedly, obviously not wanting the two brothers to worry about money because of him.

In fact, here, he is the one who should worry about money the most.

After all, in the final analysis, he is not even a person in this world, let alone owns the currency of this world.

"It's not our tradition to treat distinguished guests of the Auditore family badly, don't you think so, brother? Let me see, maybe our opportunity to make money is around here."

As Federico spoke, his eyes began to look around at the pedestrians around the Holy Cross Basilica.

It didn't take long for Federico to have his eyes firmly fixed on a young man next to the small square.

"My dear brother, have you discovered any opportunities to make money?"

Ezio obviously never fails to tease his brother.

"You're right, brother, look who I found. Vieri de Pazzi, that poor little puppy of the Pazzi family, he seems to be alone. Perhaps, as a result, he fought with us A 'friend' of many years, he was happy to contribute some of his florins to our tight purse."

Federico said, with a smirk on his face, and walked quickly towards the former nobleman in black.
