We were looking for Ali's whereabouts but we yet to discover it so I started following Nur's leads. After freeing some rebels so Beshi can help us with this, I went to Khurasan Gate Guardhouse to look for Ali's whereabouts, where I had to assassinate a bunch of guards and at last I found a lead about where Ali could be.
That's where I left Basim last time after freeing the rebels. I found him having the eagle at his hand now. I noticed he was even adorning the bird when I was not doing any action other than camera movements and I noticed beautiful night scenes as well.
I actually didn't know I'd get the lead from this guardhouse, I reached the place when I was roaming around freely and then I climbed up the wall of this place and I noticed something was there for me but I was not sure what it was.
I was not using the feature to show me nearby cases otherwise it'd be easier for me. I started assassinating the guards instead and I was killed for my mistakes after all.
I tracked the case when it was restarted at the checkpoint and it looked like I had to search the outpost but the guards on the gate won't let me in so I used the alternative way to climb up again.
I didn't do the same mistake again. I started assassinating the guards one after another without being detected as I'm still not a good fighter but I can do good in stealth.
I had to eavesdrop on some guards after hiding in that bush. One of the soldier seemed angry on a guard in higher rank and was saying he might kill the guard if needs to and the other guard then talked about recording the prisoners. I assassinated those soldiers one by one when they got separated after the conversation.
Now I had to find the prisoner records and it looked like I had to take care of most of the guards first before getting to it so I climbed on to the roof and started assassinating the guards on guards there first.
Then I noticed I could try a leap of faith jump and then continue my assassination so I went for it.
After jumping into the bush, I assassinated the guard nearby after attracting it with whistling and then I air assassinated another one at a little distance.
Now there were three more guards that I HAD to take care of when I could ignore the guards at the gate. But I didn't do the rookie mistake doing air assassination there as that guard was not alone and I didn't wish to attract all the guards of the guardhouse.
After assassinating one of them who got the key of the door where I'd find the prisoner records, I noticed this prisoner. I couldn't free him as I didn't have a key to this door, otherwise I'd free him.
Then I assassinated a big guard that I normally can't kill in melee combat yet and I moved the body when another guard was about to notice me. I attracted the third guard to the grasses where I was hiding and I assassinated and hid his body in there.
Then I was thinking of taking down the other guards that were at the gate but that could make it hard for me so I let them be.
After unlocking the door of the scribe's quarters, I went inside and found the prisoner records where I found a list of prisoners, all paired with different marks. The case of Khurasan Guardhouse was closed and I had to regroup at the Bureau.
I stayed undetected and got out of the guardhouse safely. Then I reached the Bureau on foot and I got to see the daylight in the meantime.
When Roshan and Fuladh discovered that Ali was brokering a deal with Nur to supply the rebels with resources in exchange for his help, Basim said their target is Al-Ghul who uses prisoners and laborers to dig around Baghdad.
Basim added that if the list of captives is correct, Ali was sent to Damascus Gate Prison.
Roshan asked me to find Ali when she'd go meet the rebels I saved to see what more she can learn about this deal. Fuladh scouted out and asked Basim to met him at the prison's front gate.
Then Abu Jafar showed me a fashioned board with information brought to them by spies around the city. I can find special assignments there from now on.
Now before going for the most well-guarded prison in Baghdad, I went to a shopkeeper to upgrade my gear and I upgrade my Initiate of Alamut Sword. The next mission should be a tough one for sure.
