141 Truth

In the gloomy basement, Captain "Raff" of White Harbor was slumped motionless in an iron cage, covered in dust, his cheeks bruised and swollen, and a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

There was no light on all sides, only one of the guards held a torch to shine around, and in the trance of the fire, the other party said lightly: "Someone admits it." Someone has nothing to say. ”

Charles stood in front of the cage and watched him silently, not responding.

After the attack failed, the Faceless One, whom he had met once, was brought here, but he did not say anything when questioned.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't ask anything if he didn't say Charles, although the person in front of him had helped him once, it didn't replace the fact that he wanted to assassinate him again.

It's just that......

"You're not afraid of death?" He asked

"Sooner or later, the nameless will die." The other side has a tough attitude.

So Charles shook his head.

In addition to the question of "why", there are also hints from the True Eye.

[The Faceless of Braavos, a top-level assassin with disguise methods]

[His disguise is full of traces of demonic hair]

[He is deeply hostile to you]

[He is acting under the influence of the power of the long night]

……

This one can actually be called Jia Kun, but in fact, for the Faceless One, all names are just code names, they don't actually have names.

So the True Eye is also nameless.

The main reason Charles was able to recognize him was because of the preconceived notions, and in his impression, Jia Kun the Faceless, Jia Kun = the Faceless One, it was natural to associate him.

It was even more certain when we talked about it later.

This is his old "acquaintance". After all, someone's recognition is too obvious.

But why did this person have anything to do with Long Night?

"Where did you go before?" He asked again.

It's a pity that the other party still doesn't cooperate with this, "The nameless people are wandering all over the world and going anywhere." ”

In terms of demeanor, he didn't seem to be affected, but behaved no different from a normal person. But the True Eye doesn't lie to Charles.

So he thought about it, took out a cross pendant, and under the vigilant gaze of the other party, began to cast a certain spell.

The solemn sound of the incantation made the surrounding guards subconsciously show respect, but Jia Kun, who was facing Charles across the iron cage, frowned because of this, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

Then, when the light of the cross appeared on his forehead and began to spin, the discomfort turned into pain.

His whole body was red, his cheeks were purple, and he was accompanied by a heavy coughing sound, and in the face of the white light, Jia Kun's whole person seemed to be cooked.

Gradually, his brown hair, which had belonged to the boatman in White Harbor, became half-red and half-white, and his facial skin began to wrinkle and black, and finally fell off like rags, revealing another of his faces.

And his whole body seems to have shrunk a little, but it is not very obvious.

"Stop, stop!" Jia Kun gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

In his true face, this person's expression was a little more vivid than just now. It's just that Charles wasn't prepared to pay attention to him.

Seeing that the light had dimmed, he made up for it instead.

So the pure light shone on the surroundings again, and under the shroud of this holy light, the expression on Jia Kun's face, which had been broken through his disguise, became even more painful, and he even began to collapse on the ground and convulse.

[You tried to use purification to dispel the power of the long night, but your dispel failed]

……

The spell has not been enhanced, and it is impossible for the black rumbling to have the sun's rays coming in, but the pure divine power can already make the other party, or the so-called power of the long night, react.

It's good to have a reaction, and failing now doesn't mean failing all the time.

"It's just that it seems to have hurt him a lot?"

Charles was thoughtful, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

So when the light dimmed again, he repeated the third shot.

The swirling cross rises brightly again.

The Faceless Cage roared in pain, his fists clenched and released, trembling, foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes and convulsing.

The violent physical reaction even caused the iron cage he was leaning on to start shaking constantly, with a clang, and the iron chains of his limbs were pulled straight and tight.

Under intense pain, Jaquin. Hegar eventually fainted.

He was flushed and sweaty, and a wisp of black gas quietly appeared on the forehead of the unconscious.

This is the so-called power of the long night?

Seeing this, Charles narrowed his eyes, then ignored the other party's coma, and recited the incantation again.

The fourth coming of the cross ray.

Although the purification spell was quite difficult to practice at first, it was always able to help the Charr after practice, and was used as a divine messenger to activate the staff of authority, and now it can have a certain impact on the so-called power of the long night.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he had to have a certain amount of knowledge to advance a spell, and he couldn't upgrade his experience, Charles would have brushed it to ninety-nine percent a long time ago.

"Once this so-called shock period is over, I should consider doing more tasks and spells in the church."

He pondered secretly, but his hands kept moving.

Fifth, Sixth......

When Shirshi exhibited the seventh purification, the hint of the True Eye was finally no longer an attempt at purification—

[If you reuse the purification, the power of the long night in the target's body will be removed]

……

As the hint drifted by, the basement fell silent.

The torches flickered, and the guards breathed in a low voice, as if they were afraid of disturbing the young man standing in front of the cage.

Ban Yu,

Under their wary gaze, the faceless man inside the cage slowly opened his eyes.

After the so-called power of the long night was dispelled, it seemed to have caused a very serious injury to the faceless one, a pair of deep brown and black eyes looked particularly dim at this time, and his body limbs were weak to lean on the iron cage and did not move, facing Charles's gaze, he tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Somebody goes to Old Town to find out the truth." He said weakly.

He seemed to remember what he had done and what he had said. But compared to before, he was not hostile at this time, and began to explain patiently and laboriously.

"Someone's under a curse."

"Curse to call someone to kill you, and someone will come to kill you."

As he spoke, he leaned against the cage and gasped, his arms propped up on the ground, as if he wanted to sit up a little, but in the end he slumped down again weakly.

"Who cursed you?"

"It's not who curses someone, it's the Tower of Babel who curses someone."

"Towering Tower? Where does the Old Town Lord live? ”

Jia Kun wanted to nod, but his head seemed to be out of control, and in the end he could only blink slowly.

"No one?"

"Participation...... Sky Tower. Jia Kun gritted his teeth and emphasized.

His cheeks, which had been red before, had turned pale by now, and his body began to tremble unconsciously when answering questions.

Purification wasn't specifically for exorcism, and the power of the long night seemed to have really hurt him when it was forcefully removed, so much so that the man who should have been strong looked even more fragile than the dying old man at this time.

Even after asking a few more questions, the other party's voice was already weak!

"To die?"

Frowning, Charles turned his head and gave a few words before one of the guards turned to leave, and it wasn't long before he walked in with an unconscious man on his shoulder.

At this time, after such a delay, the faceless man in the cage had already passed out again.

So when he saw the "spell casting material", Charles didn't hesitate any longer, and after inscribed the secret text, his hands were directly clasped on the other party's head.

His body was wrinkled, tense, and shrunk, and in the dark basement, an eerie whispering spell accompanied by an active green halo emerged from Charles's hands, blooming, and swirling around his hands.

And by the time Charles lifted his hands off the head of a sinner, he was now skinny.

Charles ignored this, and instead walked around the iron cage to the cage, crouched down, and pressed his green glowing hands against the shoulders of the Faceless One.

A halo enveloped it, swirling into the Faceless's body, and visible to the naked eye, the other's pale complexion began to return to normal and become more and more rosy.

In the end, it's no different from a normal person.

After the spell is cast, the charr turns back to his original position.

Under his gaze, it didn't take long for Jia Kun to open his eyes.

He didn't seem to be able to react, and after waking up, he subconsciously touched his heart, and then raised his eyes to look at Charles, his face was a little strange.

He didn't speak, but Charles knew what he wanted to ask, but this was not what Charles had the intention to explain at this time, and when he saw that he was back to normal, he asked again, "What are you doing in the Tower of Heaven?" ”

"Someone finds out the truth for the same purpose as someone goes to King's Landing." Although still in a trance, the Faceless One answered Charles' question.

"What truth?"

"The truth of the God of a Thousand Faces."

"The God of a Thousand Faces?" Seeing his calm face when he spoke, Charles was a little surprised.

"So have you found out the truth?"

"As you can see, someone is close to the truth, but the truth accidentally slips away from someone's hands."

Saying that, Jia Kun sighed: "It cursed someone instead."
