So fast?

The Magic Mountain gave Commander Vincent three days to take the nearest city-state of Loras.

Now only half a day and a night have passed.

The mountain took the letter from a doctor's hand and unfolded it, with only one sentence on it: His Majesty King Gregor Clegane, the dragon knight: The city-state of Loras submits!

All the officers and men of the Navy?

Vincent did not lead the entire navy into battle, but chose the fastest longship.

The ranks were not large, but only a third of the entire Braavos Navy.

For the other two-thirds, the Magic Mountain did not go to the special summons, but waited for the Commander-in-Chief Vincennes to conquer Loras before receiving the navy and rewarding the officers and men.

In Braavos, there was only a professional navy, no professional army.

After Magic Mountain took Braavos, all of Braavos' mercenaries of less than 10,000 turned into professional armies.

This was enthusiastically embraced by the mercenaries.

The Magic Mountain handed the letter to Daenerys: "Your Majesty, Loras has declared his submission. ”

Daenerys was surprised that Commander-in-Chief Vincennes had taken Loras so quickly, she took the letter and read it, and said, "Commander-in-Chief Vincennes should still be on the sea, and in such a short period of time, he may not have entered the sea of Loras. ”

"My Lord Governor, what do you think of Commander-in-Chief Vincennes before Ralas, who has already declared his submission. The Mountain asked Tyrion Lannister.

Tyrion Lannister walked up and saluted Daenerys, saying, "Your Majesty, may I read the letter?"

Daenerys looked at the former Prime Minister and handed the letter to Tyrion Lannister.

The little devil took the letter and glanced at it: "Your Majesty, it will take a day and a night for the fastest longship to enter the port city of Lorras. The fact that Commander-in-Chief Vincennes' letter was able to be sent back in such a short time only shows that he sent birds to persuade the three princes of Loras to submit to His Majesty the King at the time of his departure. ”

"Your Majesty, it takes only about two hours for the birds to fly to Loras, not to the sea, and to go straight along the coastline. A doctor said.

"So it seems that when the governors of Loras received the letter of surrender, they immediately persuaded the three princes to reply together, and they chose to submit. ”

"Your Majesty, the conquest of Loras is not the work of Commander-in-Chief Vincennes, so it seems that it is His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen who have achieved good influence. We can use this to write a letter of surrender to the remaining six free trade city-states, and see if they can be defeated without a fight. The little devil suggested.

"Okay, you and the Wise Men go ahead and persuade the six city-states of Mill, Telosi, Reese, Norvers, Kohor, and Valantis to surrender. "The Magic Mountain gave the order.

The Mother of Dragons now belongs to the power of the Magic Mountain, the Fire Warlock Guild in King's Landing is still making wildfire bombs for the Magic Mountain, and the weapon masters Tob Mott and Duke Gendry Baratheon are still making cannons for the Magic Mountain, and now the power of the Magic Mountain is unrivaled and irresistible.

The nine free trade city-states were already in awe of Daenerys and sent troops to help her, even she and her dragons belonged to the power of the Magic Mountain, what courage and force did the governors of the free trade city-states have to resist the conquest of the Magic Mountain?

The little devil thinks that the king of the magic mountain does not need to send troops to attack the remaining six free trade city-states, just like the city-state of Loras, he only needs to send a letter of persuasion to say that the mother of dragons has submitted to His Majesty King Gregor Clegane, the dragon knight, and those governors and princes must only kneel and submit, which is unimaginable.

The little devil said, "Your Majesty, I immediately sent a message of surrender to the six city-states with the Doctors, but before that, I have a small proposal. ”

"Say!"

"I beseech His Majesty to change the name of the Sea King's Palace to the Governor's Palace, and to draw up the financial resources to build a new military defense of the Iron Vault Island, with its lookout posts, barracks, defensive walls, cavalry and infantry, archers, pikemen, and sword and shield men, and to turn the Iron Vault Island into a military town, and to prudently and solemnly send the most trustworthy and loyal and brave generals to garrison the Iron Vault Island. ”

The little devil's words fit the inner thoughts of the magic mountain.

The little devil's proposal to rename the Sea King's Palace to the Governor's Palace was even more satisfying to him.

The little devil does have wisdom that ordinary people can't achieve when it comes to government affairs and management.

With General Ian and General Steven Clegan in their absence, the little devil bluntly said that the Magic Mountain should send the most trustworthy and loyal and brave generals to garrison Iron Vault Island, and the soldiers who are now stationed on Iron Vault Island are from the soldiers of General Ian and General Steven Clegane.

The subtext of the little devil is that he doesn't trust General Ian and General Steven very much, and he hopes that the Magic Mountain will send the most loyal general in the Cregan Legion who has already gone through the most severe life and death test.

Ian is the leader of a newly surrendered mercenary legion from the East, while Steven Clegane is a notorious pirate of the former Stonesteps Islands.

However, the little devil knows very little about the ability of the magic mountain to turn the most ferocious, brutal, violent, bloody, and wild rogue bandit and pirate boss into a confidant in the shortest possible time.

This is a natural ability unique to Magic Mountain.

He was born to attract the allegiance of the bloodiest and brutal of the most brutal of the kind, and in a few words he could make them die for him.

However, there is too much wealth in the Iron Vault, and this is a huge wealth that can distort the souls of most people, and it is necessary to be loyal enough to be more at ease.

Even if Ian and Steven's cronies are not replaced, the commander who oversees those soldiers must have at least one of the die-hard generals in the Clegon Legion in the Magic Mountain.

"Well, I agree to your proposal, and when General Vincent brings back the three subservient princes of Loras, I will convene a council to change the Sea King's Palace into the Doge's Palace. Braavos, there will never be another Sea King, only the Doge. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking my advice. Tyrion Lannister, the little demon, said, "Your Majesty, I have a small proposal. ”

"What a proposal. ”

"I propose that the Governor's House of Braavos establish a deeper inner connection with the House of Black and White. ”

"Oh, what intrinsic connection, how to make it?"

This proposal is very interesting to Magic Mountain.

"Your Majesty, I propose that the Governor's Office be responsible for the cost of repairing the buildings of the Black and White Academy, and that regular funds be allocated to the Black and White Academy every year as a fund to support the training of the Faceless in the Black and White Academy. The Black and White Institute will be given official support in terms of daily necessities, student excavation, and the establishment of branches, and due consideration can be given to allowing the Black and White Institute to join the construction of the Klegan Bank, and absorb the Black and White Institute to become an important shareholder of the Klegan Bank. ”

This proposal is also very good, in fact, it ties the Black and White House to the chariot of the Governor of Braavos, similar to the alliance between the Black and White House and the Iron Vault and the Sea King's Palace. But this alliance is different, it is not an alliance in the sense of faith, but an alliance that joins economic and trade ties.

The Black and White Courtyard also has its own secret investment and industry in the market.

And when Magic Mountain opened the Clegane Bank, becoming a shareholder of the Klegane Bank, was indeed the most profitable and best business.

This is also Tyrion's royal power on behalf of the Magic Mountain to show favor to the House of Black and White.

The Black and White Academy, the world's most powerful and top killer organization!

"Agree with all. Magic Mountain said very simply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The little devil pressed his right hand on his left chest and bowed halfway.

"Why is your Governor so solemn, and your proposal is so good that I need no thanks. ”

"I am grateful to His Majesty the King for the trust he has placed in me. The little devil said. There is one more thing that the little devil did not say, his tragic experience in Exeter, the most remote part of Braavos, was finally helped by the Faceless of the Black and White Courtyard, so that he could appear here in a dignified and well-dressed manner.

The Faceless One also told him that Braavos had been taken down by His Majesty the King of the Magic Mountain, and that he wanted Lord Tyrion to return as the governor of Braavos.

When the Black and White House Faceless appeared in Exeter, their prestige in the savage, poor, and backward Exeter was higher than the little devil could have imagined. If it weren't for his own experience, he couldn't believe that an ordinary Faceless Being's influence in Braavos was comparable to that of His Majesty Aquaman.

Tyrion Lannister is full of affection and gratitude for the Faceless Beings of the House of Black and White, which makes him realize that he needs the support of the House of Black and White to be the governor of Braavos. The best way to get the support of the Black and White Academy is to turn the Black and White Academy into its own people, into a whole with the same interests.

This idea of the little devil needs the approval of His Majesty the King to be implemented.

The little devil proposed, and the magic mountain immediately agreed to all his proposals.

This made the little devil's closeness and convincing to the Magic Mountain two points deeper.

Moshan quickly and simply accepted all of the little devil's proposals, which made the little devil get a great encouragement and at the same time, he also decided that Moshan was a very wise person!

The little devil also considers himself a wise man, and he likes to work with His Majesty the wise and enlightened King of the Magic Mountain.

Black and White Temple, Temple of a Thousand Faces.

Under the statue of a thousand faces, the light emitted by the dragon crystal candle dispelled the darkness of thick ink.

Arya Stark stands under the Statue of a Thousand Faces.

To her right, are the monks of the Black and White Courtyard.

To her left, is the Faceless Man of the Black and White Courtyard.

The monks are in charge of the faith, and the Faceless are in charge of assassination.

Behind the monks and faceless beings is a huge pool of black water.

It is a pool of magical power, and believers only need to drink half a bowl of water to get peace of mind, forget all pain, and return to the side of the red god for peace.

In front of Arya, stood the returning senior brother.

After the Seven Elders served the Red God, Senior Brother was the most authoritative and high-status person in the Black and White Courtyard. It's just that in his absence, a series of drastic changes took place in the Black and White Courtyard, and Arya Stark became the Elder of Destiny.

Even though Arya was an Elder of Destiny, her mastery of the Faceless Ones was still not as good as that of her senior brother.

The highest level of transfiguration, senior brother has not yet taught Arya.

Arya completed the first step of learning, and then sent out to practice. After a year of training, return to the Black and White Academy, and pass the assessment of the Black and White Academy, in order to further learn the highest level of transformation and disguise in the Black and White Academy.

However, while training outside, Arya learned from Melisandre and the Great Sage another mysterious skill that none of the Facelings of the Black and White Courtyard would have: fire ability and shadow guard.

The Red God is the god of fire and shadow.

After talking with the monks and faceless disciples and sisters last night, the senior brother understood a series of changes that had taken place in the black and white courtyard under the dragon crystal candle, and he was powerless to change the ending. Accept it or leave.

The senior brother couldn't leave as freely as Arya.

He has a different personality from Arya, and the Black and White House is his life, soul, and roots.

In the early hours of the morning, the senior brother went to the elder's room and had a thorough conversation with the former senior sister and the current Elder of Heavenly Destiny. He couldn't convince Arya to change his mind, he had to choose to accept it.

*

Arya saluted the monks, who returned the salute.

Arya looked at the Faceless Ones, more than half of whom were her seniors. and Arya's generation of faceless disciples, all of whom have been named by Arya, but there are only a dozen of them. Among these dozen people, Xiao Mei, who has the best relationship with Arya, is the leader.

Arya has to make the most important decision, she sends someone to pick up Xiao Mei from the Iron Vault Island overnight, leaving the long-faced senior sister in charge of secretly guarding the Iron Vault of the Magic Mountain on the Iron Vault Island. The long-faced senior sister is selfless and strictly abides by the rules, which is very difficult to convince. And Xiao Mei is Arya's sister, but she is completely different, and she speaks and does things towards Arya.

The predecessors of the Faceless Ones, as long as they are not supervisors and elders, are collectively referred to as senior brothers or senior sisters, and belong to the same generation.

In the Black and White Courtyard, only the elders are higher in rank than the Faceless One.

All the Faceless are of the same generation, although some of them have been in the Black and White Courtyard for decades to become Faceless, while some are only a year.

"Senior brothers and sisters, I propose that Senior Brother Bin become the internal affairs elder of the Black and White Academy, and be in charge of all the external and internal affairs of the Black and White Academy. ”

Bin is the current face and name of the senior brother.

To the Faceless, they are only called by the name they use at the moment. They are all unknowns. But there's a problem, when the faceless are all together, who is called someone, who is called a nameless, everyone is someone, they are all nameless, it's hard to distinguish identities.

So it's customary for everyone to use another name to distinguish each other.

Arya's words caused the Faceless to look at each other.

The Elders of the House do not have external control. The Elders of the House were in charge of the housekeeping of the Black and White Courtyard for thousands of years.

Externally, shouldn't the Elders of the Heavenly Mandate be in charge of affairs?

Elder Arya: Is this going to 'run away from home' again?

She is an elder appointed by the God of a Thousand Faces by miracles, and her weight is higher than that of the elders of the past.

"We can't agree, Elder of the Mandate of Heaven, if this is the oracle of the God of a Thousand Faces, then ask the Dragon Crystal Candle to manifest a miracle. A monk who was so old that his teeth were lost and his speech was leaky.

His words were echoed by all the monks.

There was a slight commotion among the Facelings. They were killers, and they didn't show any emotions easily, but Elder Arya's words were too much beyond their understanding.

"The Dragon Crystal Candle has not shown miracles, Elder of Heavenly Destiny, please take back your words. Senior Brother Bin said lightly.

"The Thousand Faces God doesn't show miracles in everything, otherwise, he wouldn't need us elders to manage the Black and White Courtyard. This is a matter within the authority of the elders. Arya insisted.

Xiao Mei, the best junior sister of Arya, stood up, she knew that the rules of the Black and White Courtyard might be difficult to really keep Arya Stark, she understood Arya's character, and she couldn't restrict her from walking freely in the outside world: "Elder of Heavenly Destiny, Senior Brother Bin has become an Elder of Internal Affairs, we agree." The Internal Affairs Elder can only be in charge of internal affairs, but during the time when the Heavenly Mandate Elder is away, the Internal Affairs Elder temporarily replaces the Heavenly Mandate Elder in charge of external affairs. ”

Temporary control and full control are two different concepts, but the meaning is exactly the same for Arya.

Arya was reassured, and she threw a quiet compliment to Xiao Mei.

"Okay, I agree with Xiao Mei's proposal. I first propose the appointment of Senior Brother Bing as our House Elder, which is a top priority for our Black and White House, and if there is no objection, then it will be passed. ”

There was no objection and it was unanimously adopted. The House of Black and White is in dire need of an internal elder.

"If the Elder of Internal Affairs was in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Black and White House, I would not agree to be an Elder of Internal Affairs. Bin said lightly.

Arya was confident and continued to announce, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will temporarily take charge of the internal affairs of the Elders of the House of the Interior while I am away, and the Elders of the House will temporarily take charge of the external affairs of my place while I am not in the Black and White House. Arya perfectly refined the little charm's words, and it was impossible to refute them.

The change of narrative is acceptable to everyone, but in fact, for Arya, she has been relieved of the huge foreign affairs she has to take on, and she can enjoy the freedom to travel around the world.

After she left, the external affairs were temporarily replaced by the internal affairs elders!
