“传说变成了神迹,‘神圣的裹尸布’来了……”
―一名刺客描述裹尸布[来源]
MemoryShroud01

裹尸布

裹尸布,也叫伊甸裹尸布,是一枚用来治疗伤病的伊甸碎片,其编号是#66。

裹尸布是一块沾有血迹的白布,通常被放在一个简朴的木盒子里。布上还有一个双臂展开,手掌朝外的人印,此人似乎正受到折磨。但教廷对这个人的具体容貌的记录在历史上并无定论。

历史沿革

古希腊

有关裹尸布的描述最早出现于希腊神话。这件圣器当时被称作金羊毛,具有神秘的力量。伊阿森和诸英雄乘“阿尔戈”号,从小亚细亚一棵由毒龙把守的树上取下了金羊毛。[1]

马其顿王朝

“无论这圣器的力量多么强大,它都没能让我们的兄弟重返人间。”

后来,裹尸布由古罗马刺客组织保管了一段时间。公元前44年,盖乌斯·尤利乌斯·凯撒被暗杀,两年后布鲁图斯自杀身亡,布鲁图斯的刺客同伴们试图在腓利比用裹尸布将其复活。Macedonia.[2]

刺客们从未使用过裹尸布,对其中力量感到畏惧,但依然将布鲁图斯的遗体放在裹尸布中间。布鲁图斯睁开了双眼,他的手臂动了动,却没有呼吸,对旁人的触碰也没有任何反应,最后终于“又一次”死去。[2]

刺客们为布鲁图斯逝去而哭泣,用布覆盖他的遗体,并将裹尸布放回木箱中。[2]

基督受难,裹尸布被夺走

公元前1700年,雅各赠与儿子约瑟一件彩衣,这件彩衣即是裹尸布。公元前970年,以色列第二任国王大卫征服歌利亚人时可能有裹尸布相助。[1]

裹尸布的持有者中,最为知名的便是耶稣基督。发现耶稣持有裹尸布之后,圣殿骑士(隐藏在罗马帝国的旗帜下)于公元30年将耶稣钉死在十字架上,将裹尸布据为己有。[1]

耶稣的信徒设法回收裹尸布,利用其力量使耶稣复活。裹尸布之事自此杳无音讯。[1]

蒙特里久尼

“除了我们的铜墙铁壁,这世上哪有另处能隐藏这令人憎恶的力量?我们会将它深埋地下,确保它不被发现。”
―一名刺客谈论隐藏裹尸布[来源]

14世纪中期,裹尸布落入法国圣殿骑士若弗鲁瓦·德·沙尼手中。刺客用一件精心制作的赝品将裹尸布掉包,带回蒙特里久尼[2]

Monteriggioni, Italy

蒙特里久尼的刺客对裹尸布进行实验

确认裹尸布的真实性后,一名奥迪托雷家族刺客[3] 决定将其隐藏起来。刺客们排干了城里的水井,将裹尸布藏入其中,并称其为伪造的教会档案。[2]

圣殿骑士最终发现了裹尸布的所在地。1454年,圣殿骑士派佣兵Federico da Montefeltro围攻蒙特里久尼。马里奥·奥迪托雷成功抵御入侵,并从一名敌方间谍Luciano Pezzati处了解到,此次袭击的真正目的是寻找藏于地下的某样东西.[3]

马里奥召集了一批历史和建筑学专家,四处寻找这件圣物的下落,只找到些模糊的证据指向城内的水井。马里奥带领一伙佣兵,在水井后墙上发现一个入口,通向一条狭窄的地道。地道里机关重重,布满铁丝网、陷阱和绊线弓箭。许多人不幸在此丧命,马里奥本人也因一枚游摆而失去左眼。[3]

藏裹尸布的箱子

终于,仅剩的几个人到达了最后一个房间,房间里摆着一只简陋的木箱。随即,在场所有人都听到了神秘的声音,那声音许诺治愈一切伤痛和疾病。马里奥警告大家不能打开箱子,不料却遭到了众人的攻击。无奈之下,马里奥杀掉了随行的士兵,拼命克制着脑中被圣器灌入的尖叫和诱惑,勉强逃出地道,回到城里。[3]

马里奥对裹尸布的力量感到恐惧。他将裹尸布暂时藏入奥迪托雷庄园,随后吩咐他的兄弟乔瓦尼·奥迪托雷携裹尸布离开蒙特里久尼。从那以后,没人再提起过裹尸布一事,马里奥本人则敷衍说“这已经是兄弟会的问题了”。[3]

“So... beautiful! It is a plain thing, carefully folded inside a simple wooden box, but it is also so much more!”
―Perotto Calderon first encountering the Shroud.[来源]
Revelation

裹尸布包裹贝罗特之子, 乔瓦尼·波吉亚.

As of 1498, Perotto Calderon was an undercover Assassin spying on the Borgia, though he fell in love with the Templar Lucrezia Borgia, who eventually became pregnant with his child. However, the boy was born deformed, and was expected to die within a few days. Knowing of the potentially life-saving artifact his Brotherhood kept, Perotto took his son and escaped to Agnadello.[4]

Perotto soon arrived at the home of Rinaldo Vitturi, who he knew was guarding the Shroud. Though he was forced to kill many of his own Brothers, Perotto successfully used the Shroud to heal his son, but was later executed by his fellow Assassins for breaking the Creed.[4]

“I have no choice. Whatever power this thing holds, I must try to unleash it!”
―Niccolò di Pitigliano, just before attempting to use the Shroud.[来源]

The Shroud then fell into the hands of Niccolò di Pitigliano, likely during or around the Battle of Agnadello in 1509, of which he was a participant. In 1510, the Assassin Francesco Vecellio was sent to kill Niccolò, and to retrieve the Piece of Eden.[5]

Though Francesco succeeded in striking a deadly blow, Niccolò survived by touching the Shroud; which he was able to drag himself towards despite his injuries. Temporarily rejuvenated, he took the artifact from its hiding place and managed to flee his burning manor.[5]

However, he wished to be healed completely, and thus wrapped himself in the cloth. At this point, though, the artifact turned against him and destroyed his body, finishing the Assassin's job. Francesco, who had anticipated this, reappeared and took the Shroud from his dying grip.[5]

Milan

“Goose chase in the middle of a warzone while our own boys are dropping the bombs on me. For what? Chance that it may be the real thing? Right... been at this nearly twenty years and I don't even believe it exists.”
―The Templar agent sent to search for the Shroud.[来源]
Milan, Italy

The sale of the Shroud in Milan.

On Christmas Day of 1944, in the middle of World War II, a Templar agent was directed to a restaurant in Milan, in order to purchase an artifact claimed to be the Shroud. Though dubious, he brought a large sum of money through the war zone and met with one of the Baguttiani family, who showed him a folded cloth in a wooden box.[2]

To his surprise, the agent was able to confirm the Piece of Eden's identity using a metallic Abstergo Industries logo keychain, which vibrated upon being brought near the Shroud.[2]

Use and side effects

“那声音虽然紧迫,听上去却并无恶意。也许它真的只想治愈伤痛。但我绝不冒这个风险!”
―马里奥·奥迪托雷,谈起使用裹尸布[来源]
Sideeffects

The Shroud destroying Niccolò di Pitigliano.

The Shroud has been used to heal wounds of varying severity, mending injuries ranging from stab wounds to birth defects. It spoke in an almost kind voice that constantly offered healing, and urged its users to disregard their own physical frailty.[4][5]

Despite the rumors of its abilities to do so, it could not be used to bring a being back to life. However, it could reanimate bodies to a small degree for a short amount of time.[2]

The Shroud was also known to cause severe hallucinations in those who had used it, and (in extreme cases, such as that of Niccolò di Pitigliano) could also seem to tear a person from the inside out.[5]

Giovanni Borgia in particular suffered lasting effects from the Shroud. Though the artifact healed his defective body as a baby, throughout his childhood, he would have vivid dreams of the memories of others who had come into contact with the Shroud, such as his father and Marcus Junius Brutus.[6]

Additionally, Giovanni frequently spoke with a being no one else could see, an entity he called Consus.[6]

In his later life, Giovanni would become known among the other Assassins as one who "spoke" with Pieces of Eden, and was particularly receptive to their presence. This led to him being sent on a mission to identify and retrieve one such artifact in the New World.[7]

Trivia

  • The Shroud was based on a real object known as the Shroud of Turin. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy.
  • In the French version of Assassin's Creed II, the Shroud was referred to as Piece of Eden #36, not #66. Whether or not this was a mistake in the translation remains unknown.
  • In Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, Erudito gave the user three memories of the Shroud as a "Christmas present."
  • In Project Legacy, one of Mnemonic sets from the Holiday pack is "Shroud of Turin," with the description "Greatest mystery, or clever hoax?" Its components are: Jesus of Nazareth, Jacques de Molay, Geoffroi de Charney, and Cesare Borgia.
