Suddenly, Arya Stark was the only elder of the House of Black and White.

Arya stood on the ground, and in a very short time, she adjusted her mentality, but there was still discomfort lingering in her heart.

She prefers to be free and casual rather than being an elder in the Black and White House who manages various matters and needs to make decisions.

She loved the way of her dance teacher, Celio Friel, who wore a narrow sword at her waist and went anywhere she had never been, and went wherever she wanted.

But there are more important things that need to be dealt with immediately.

The identity of the elder is the most suitable and convenient for her to do things.

Luce Burton didn't walk fast down the street pushing Bran's wheelchair.

This pedestrian attracts almost everyone's attention on the street.

Whether it's mercenaries, fishermen, or women standing on eaves and stone arch bridges, they are all attracted to this group of people.

The Twelve Musketeers of the Sea King have also become the symbol of this line of people's 'either rich or noble'.

Braavos is a free trade city-state composed of hundreds of islands, which are connected by stone arch bridges of different colors, and the brightly colored stone arch bridges have become one of the major scenery of Braavos.

At the head of the stone arch bridge in front, there stood a monk with an invisible face.

The monk's face is hidden in the hood.

I don't know if it was because of the appearance of a monk, and there was soon no pedestrians in front and behind the stone arch bridge.

"Prophet Bran, there's something strange about that monk!" said Luce Burton, who was pushing a wheelchair, in a whisper. Speaking softly is Luce Burton's usual style.

"That's the Faceless One. Priscilla, the head of the Twelve Musketeers of the Sea King, said.

"Who stepped forward and asked the monk to get out of the way?" Bran said lightly. Although he was a green prophet, he could not foresee anything. He can see the past, and it takes concentration and time to find the right direction, and the same is true for predicting the future.

"I'll go. Priscilla said.

Priscilla is the captain of this squad of swordsmen, but is not the chief swordsman of Aquaman. Aquaman's chief swordsman needs to defend Aquaman's side.

The team slowly stopped.

Captain Priscilla stepped forward, pressed his right hand to his heart, bowed his head, and bowed his head: "Teacher, can you please get out of the way?"

"My lord, please tell Prophet Bran that the elders of the Black and White Courtyard have asked him to come to the Thousand Gods Temple of the Black and White Courtyard to talk to him. ”

"Yes, teacher, I will go and tell the prophet. "Priscilla did not have the slightest arrogance and authority of the Aquaman Swordsman, and he maintained absolute politeness in front of the Faceless Monk.

Bran Stark sat in his wheelchair, looking at the sky somewhere in the sky with a glimmer of surprise in his indifferent eyes.

He knew that it was impossible for the seven elders of the Black and White Court to stand and talk to him anymore, but the other party said that the elders of the Black and White Court had asked him to speak.

Captain Priscilla turned around and conveyed the monk's words.

Bran said lightly, "Captain Priscilla, please tell the teacher that we just came out of the Black and White Courtyard and haven't seen any elders. ”

Without Priscilla's message, the monk said, "Prophet Bran, when you went to the Black and White Courtyard just now, it happened that the elders of the Black and White Courtyard were not there, and after you left, one of the elders of the Black and White Courtyard returned. ”

"Oh?!" Bran's indifferent gaze towards the sky retracted and landed on the monk at the bridge. The monk's face was hidden in the dark hood, but Bran could see the face, an old, wrinkled old monk's face. However, this may be an illusion, and the Faceless can change into anyone's form, which is their most basic ability.

This monk may be like this, but perhaps, it has nothing to do with his original face at all.

Bran waved his hand, and Luce Burton pushed the wheelchair forward and stopped in front of the stone arch bridge, no more than a few meters away from the monk.

"Teacher, I'm going to the Sea King's Palace now, there are some important things to deal with, and when I'm done, I'll definitely visit the elders of the Black and White Courtyard again. ”

When the monk on the other side heard Bran say this, he did not answer, but he stood at the head of the bridge, without saying a word, without moving like a mountain.

The scene suddenly became quiet. The murmuring of the river under the stone arch bridge is like the uneasiness in people's hearts.

The atmosphere became very unfriendly.

The monk is obviously definitely not going to get out of the way.

Bran said, "Teacher, are you going to force us to go to the Black and White Courtyard to see the elders?"

The monk still did not answer, nor did he get out of the way. The wind blew, blowing the sleeves of the monk's robe, making a slight crackling sound, but it could not blow the hood he wore on the top of his head.

"Captain Priscilla, let's go the other way. Bran said lightly.

"Yes, Prophet. Captain Priscilla said.

He was commanded by the Sea King to protect the Prophet, and it was his duty to obey the Prophet's commands.

So the team turned and took another path.

There are many roads to the Neptune's Palace, and on any island in Braavos, there are roads to the Neptune's Palace, one is the land route, which is to cross a lot of stone arch bridges, and the other is the water route, and you only need to hire a boat from the river. Braavos' road traffic is linked by land and water.

Captain Priscilla led the group and decided to take the water route.

They crossed the street, turned an alley, and came to a main street. At the end of the street, there is a brightly colored stone arch bridge, which is taller and longer than the stone arch bridge that the monk stopped. Anywhere there is a stone arch bridge, there are stairs for people to get on and off the boat, and it is easy to find the boat. Small rivers run through Braavos, like roads.

In fact, in Braavos, it's easier to take a boat than to walk.

Priscilla came to the river under the stone arch bridge, where there were several boats. Three of them are colored boats. This colourful boat, big or small, is a charter boat dedicated to taking guests to any island.

"Hey, boatman, row the boat, I've got all three. Captain Priscilla shouted.

Three colorful boats not far from the river rowed together, business came to the door, they were very fast, and the rowing sailors were very professional. The boatmen on Braavos' boats are familiar with every river and every pier, as well as every stopping point on every island.

On the steps by the river, there has always been a teenager squatting and washing his hands. When the boat docked, the young man looked up, his hand stretched out, and there was an iron coin in his hand: "Everyone dies." ”

The faces of the boatmen on the three boats changed together, and everyone stood at the bow of the boat, respectfully: "All mortals must be worshipped." ”

"Let's go, please go and tell the other boats, don't carry the wheelchair boy and the twelve swordsmen of the Sea King on the shore. ”

"Yes, teacher. The boatmen on the three boats bowed down together and replied. Then, no matter what Captain Priscilla shouted, they rowed away.

Captain Priscilla looked annoyed: "Teacher, you are ......"

The young man stood up and turned around, his colorful clothes turned into a monk's robe, and his face was also that of an old man full of wrinkles and weather. The old man reached out and pulled on his hood, and Captain Priscilla was dumbfounded, the image of this monk was the faceless monk who had just stood at the head of the stone arch bridge and blocked their way.

When they retreated and detoured, they had gone a long way, and at the corner of the street Captain Priscilla turned back and saw very clearly that the monk had been standing at the head of the bridge and had not taken a half step.

"Captain Priscilla, please tell the Prophet that our elders are waiting for him in the Temple of the Thousand Gods in the House of Black and White. ”

“...... Yes, Teacher......" Captain Priscilla said at the sound of his own voice.

The monk walked up the stairs past Bran and the others, his face hidden in his hood, and Bran watched, and he found that he could not see through the darkness of the hood. Just now, the monk standing on the stone arch bridge blocking the road, he could see through the darkness under the monk's hood and see the monk's face.

The monk had been transformed from a young man in a colourful coat on the steps by the river, and when the monk was not wearing his hood, Bran saw his face, which was clearly the face of the monk who had blocked the road at the bridgehead.

The two monks had the same face, but one monk, Bran, could see through the darkness under the hood, the other couldn't. This only shows that this is not the same person. The young man had transformed into an old monk, and his magic power was stronger than that of the monk on the bridge.

Bran said to the monk's back, "Teacher, if I don't go to the Black and White Courtyard today, can't I go to the Sea King's palace?"

The monk did not pay any attention, and he walked slowly on his own, but soon he had walked down the long street and disappeared.

The Faceless Ones didn't bother to answer Bran's words, they did, and they did, with action.

Jaime, Rams Burton, the two Sand Serpents, the Twelve Musketeers, and Ruth Burton all looked at Bran together, and the Faceless One was consumed by them. In Braavos, the power of the Aquamen reigns supreme, the Iron Vault is rich and the Faceless are as if they were just an Assassin organization. The Faceless have no armies and no kingship, nor do they have the wealth of a wealthy kingdom, but judging by their style and unexplained domineering, it is as if they are kingship and wealth in one. Even the Twelve Musketeers of Aquaman personally accompanied the Prophet seemed to be of no avail.

All the colored boats on the waterways, with a single sentence of an iron coin, cut off any possibility of Bran taking a boat.

Rams Bolton chuckled, "The old monk said just now that the colored boats are not allowed to carry us, so we will hire fishing boats and merchant ships." ”

Under the stone arch bridge, in the river, there are many fishing boats and merchant ships coming and going.

Captain Priscilla said, "Sir Rams, you don't know about the Faceless One, and the monk said that the colored ships were not allowed to carry Prophet Bran, so the rest of the ships did not dare to carry us. ”

"The Faceless One would have such authority?" Jaime refused to believe.

Captain Priscilla shrugged his shoulders: "Sir Jaime, Braavos' Coloured Ships are also the most well-informed charter boats, they know almost all the fishermen and sailor captains on the river's merchant ships, and the Faceless One wants them to spread the word, that is, to tell all the ships that they are not to take us anywhere. ”

"Nor will it be possible to use the Sea King's orders?" Rams Burton incredulous.

"No, no, but people prefer to follow the orders of the Faceless One. The Faceless One will not easily give orders, except in the most important and important matters. Since ancient times, Aquaman and the Black and White Court have always only befriended each other, not evil. The servants, grooms, mercenaries, soldiers, and generals of the royal palace, many of whom were believers in the god of a thousand faces in the black and white courtyard. ”

Luce Burton, Jaime Lannister, and the others couldn't help but be silent. They looked at Bran again. Bran made a special trip to the Black and White Courtyard to ask the elders about the progress of the assassination of the Demon Mountain, and the elders refused to see Bran before, I am afraid that the progress is not going well, and there may be embarrassment and inconvenience between words. But it didn't take long for the situation to turn around, and the Black and White Court used its power to ask Bran to turn back to the Black and White Court again, and some elders must see him. But looking at this, Bran seems to refuse to turn back.

This is really weird!

"Okay, since the Black and White Elder is so sincere, let's go to the Black and White Courtyard again. Bran said lightly. His gaze withdrew from where the monk had disappeared and then to a place in the sky.

*

Black and White Temple, Temple of a Thousand Gods.

Elders' Chamber.

Luce Burton pushed his wheelchair into the council chamber, where only one person sat at the long table: Arya Stark.

Luce Bolton didn't see a single elder, nor a single faceless one, or a monk.

In addition to Ruth Burton, Jaime Lannister, the Two Sand Serpents, the Twelve Musketeers, Rams Burton, and others were also left in the outer hall of the Thousand Gods.

"Luce Burton, you can get out. Arya Stark said. She did not use honorifics for Luce Burton, but called him by his first name.

"Arya, what about your elders?" said Luce Burton in a soft voice. He was upset with Arya's rudeness, but he wouldn't show the slightest bit of displeasure. No matter how rude he faced, Ruce Burton was calm and breezy, and he spoke lightly and not loudly.

"Lord Luce, the Elder is already here. Bran looked at Arya, still calm.

Luce Burton's graceful contempt gradually turned into surprise: "Miss Arya has become the elder of the Black and White Academy?"

"Not out yet. Arya frowned slightly and said lightly.

The Faceless are specially trained to be moody, but this is not the case with Arya. She frowned, a clear expression of disdain and disgust for Luce Burton.

"Okay, I'll leave right away. Luce Burton bowed politely to Arya, his right fist on his left chest.

Luce Bolton walked out of the Hall of Elders and closed the door with his hand.

Arya looked at Bran: "Bran Stark, you entrusted the Black and White Academy with the agreement to assassinate the Demon Mountain, and we will unilaterally tear it up. ”

"This is a blasphemy against the faith of the House of Black and White and an insult to your gods. ”

"Whether it's blasphemy or humiliation, it has nothing to do with you, I am the Elder of the Heavenly Mandate of the Black and White Academy, and now I have the final say. Bran, do you want the gold back to you now, or do you change your name?"
