Braavos, the capital of freedom. Merchants from the entire continent, and even from other continents, converge here. Countless docks, harbors, and sea vessels have made countless rich people, as well as countless sailors. It's an extreme mix of prosperity and poverty. Wealthy people own dozens of huge cargo ships capable of transporting any cargo to the other side of the continent. And the poor have a last resort.

The Faceless are an older sect than Braavos itself. Originally born in the miserable hordes of slaves in the mines of Valyria, where slaves often revolted, and the first Faceless One was one of the rebels. Some believe that he was a slave himself, others insist that he was a citizen of the Fortress of Liberty, from an aristocratic family, and some will even tell you that he was an overseer who sympathized with his slaves.

In fact, no one really knows where he came from, except that he was active among the slaves and listened to their prayers. Hundreds of people were captured to work in the mines, each praying to his God in his own language, but all praying for the same thing—liberation, an end to suffering, a very ordinary and very simple thing, but not a response from God. The torment continued endlessly.

Until one night, in the reddened darkness, he understood—that all the gods had their own tools, and the good men and women who worked for them carried out their wills in the world. On the surface, the slave was crying out to a hundred different gods, but in fact it was the same god, with hundreds of different faces—and he was the instrument of this god.

He founded the original Faceless Sect and built the Black and White Temple. In the black and white hall, there are almost all the statues of the old and new gods, among which is one of the seven gods believed in by the mainland, the Moke, which is usually the god of death.

There is a special black cup in the Hall of a Thousand Faces. It is said that he was blessed by the god of a thousand faces. It's more liberating. To put it bluntly, if you drink from this cup, you will die without pain. This is also the final destination of desperate believers. The attendants of the Hall of a Thousand Faces will give them a decent funeral.

The more advanced ones in the main hall are the Faceless One. They are the best assassins in this world. Pay the price and they'll get rid of someone for you. They believe that death is a relief and assassination is a mercy.

"If they were so strong, then with the financial resources of the Lannister family, they would have killed all the enemies long ago."

"You look down on the Lannisters too much, and you look down on the Faceless too much. For the Faceless to kill someone, you have to pay the same price as someone. And the criteria for this are set by them. If you want to kill some homeless man on the street, all you need is a silver coin. But if this tramp is the illegitimate son of a certain king. That would probably cost 100,000 gold coins. If you want to kill a certain head of the Nine Great Families, that price cannot be borne by any family alone. ”

"Are they sure they'll be able to kill the target?"

"As far as I know, they've never missed."

"So what are you doing with them? Do you have someone you want to kill? ”

"If I want to kill someone in this world. No one can hide from the past, and there is no need to resort to the hands of others. I'm just here to be curious about them. Let's experiment with the effect of this bracelet by yourself. I used an illusion on Drogon. When you see it, you will only think it's a cat. With him you won't be in any danger. ”

Lin Xuan walked into the black and white hall alone. The whole hall is very empty. There are hardly any decorative items. The whole body is composed of huge stone blocks and stone pillars. It embodies a kind of minimalism.

In the center of the main hall there is a pool of spring water. A black water glass floats above the spring. Compared to it, it should be the famous water cup that has been 'blessed' by the god of a thousand faces.

Lin Xuan approached the pool and wanted to look at the water cup further. But after only a few steps, he was forced to stop. Since the last time Jia Kun calmly got out in front of Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan strengthened his early warning magic. Although this time he still couldn't detect how the other party appeared, he felt it for the first time after he appeared.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Jia Kun."

"Nobody, no name." Jia Kun was wearing a black and white robe and slowly walked out from behind Lin Xuan. At the same time, a dozen different faceless beings appeared from all directions. faintly surrounded Lin Xuan in the middle.

Lin Xuan looked around and didn't feel the slightest fear. "Don't get excited, guys. I don't have the slightest malice. I'm just here to be sure of something. ”

At the same time, Sasanian also activated Lin Xuan's alchemy bracelet in the center of the city. A strange wave spread throughout the city in an instant. Invisible waves of magic swept through the bodies of the vast majority of people throughout the city. Without their knowledge, a deep magic test had been done for them. Sassanid followed the plan and began to try to find these people.

In the black and white hall, although separated by more than ten meters. But Lin Xuan's spirit had already extended beyond his body, and he tried to scan the black water cup.

This is not a water cup in the modern sense of the word. In fact, it is closer to our traditional Chinese utensil, the scoop. It is an all-in-one utensil without any traces of combination. Lin Xuan couldn't perceive its material. It looks like it's wooden, but it has something else to offer. The pitch-black appearance makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

He uses detection magic to perform in-depth analysis. At this time, Lin Xuan vaguely felt some kind of vague power. He increased the output of mana, trying to analyze this power. But nothing was done. This strange energy, the level far surpasses the magic, spiritual power, and even life force that appears in his possession. It's a higher level of energy. It's just that it's extremely hidden, and if it weren't for Lin Xuan's extremely high attainment in detecting magic, it would be impossible to detect his existence at all.

As early as in the Deep Shadow Spring of the Immortal Palace, Lin Xuan had also felt that some kind of energy was peeking at him. This time, too, is some kind of hidden force. Although the two were not the same, Lin Xuan could still sense that they had something in common in essence. None of them can directly appear in this world, and they all interfere in this world in some obscure way. Even from the same place.

From the first time he entered this world, Lin Xuan had a certain guess. He used a lot of seemingly unintentional movements to constantly probe, track, and gradually get closer, confirming the answer he had guessed.
