Chapter 32: Faith
Lisa didn't know who her parents were, and she had been messing around the streets for as long as she could remember. The name Lisa was randomly shouted by people on the street. Over time, it became his name. She was very thin and felt like she would be blown away by the wind at any moment. This is the port, and most of the work is hard work. Lisa couldn't find a place to take her in, so she had to beg on the streets for a living.
There are sick and sick children starving to death on the streets every day, but surprisingly, the emaciated Lisa survives. The city was inhabited by sailors, foreign merchants. They are mostly rude. Many children on the street were beaten to death when they stole them. Lisa knew how powerful it was, and he would never do anything to those people. Although the success rate will be high, it will not be good if you put your life into it. She also steals sometimes, but she always chooses her target carefully. Even if she starves, she never takes any chances, this is her way of survival.
Lisa is now fourteen years old. She does odd jobs at various ports and helps some fishing boats sort all kinds of seafood. For this reason, he always has a strong fishy smell on his body. Lisa was so happy. She was fourteen years old. And she knew she was beautiful. In this place, she knew what was going to happen. She had seen some street children taken away by some people and never returned. She made herself dirty every day, and she couldn't even recognize herself on her face. But she knew it wasn't a long-term solution. She needed a chance, a chance to get rid of it all.
Lisa is different from other street children, she always thinks a lot. No one knows, she is even literate. She once took care of a sick old homeless man, who was said to be some declining nobleman. In exchange, the old guy taught her to read. Before she could finish her studies, the old man died first. But she's good enough to read most books.
Today Lisa came to the port as usual, it was fishing season. A large number of fishing boats return to port every day. At this time, some fishing boats would hire children like him to sort the various marine fish. There is no monetary reward, but you can end up with some inferior seafood, which is a rare delicacy for most street children.
Lisa, who just walked out of the church where she lived, was surprised to find a beautiful sister standing in front of her. She wore a beautiful robe that she could only wear in her dreams. That plump figure made Lisa feel inferior. She has begun to understand the capital of women. The most surprising thing was that she was holding a strange creature in her arms, with a long neck and a pair of wings. In her memory, only the dragon in the story would look like this.
"Hello, little girl."
Lisa didn't notice Sasan's greeting, just stared at Drogon in Sasan's arms. "Is that a dragon? Sister, are you a messenger of God? ”
Lisa did not know that the dragon belonged to the Targaryens, and in his heart, only the messengers of God could harness the dragon.
"Can you see it? I mean, what you're seeing isn't all the time? ”
"Cats? I've seen cats. Cats don't have wings. ”
This time, Sassanid is really sure. This little girl was able to see through the illusion left by Lin Xuan. It's unbelievable. She had only detected the little girl's demonic system through detection magic, but now it seemed that the situation was a little more than she had imagined.
In the Hall of Thousand Faces, Lin Xuan was confronting more than a dozen faceless ones. The dozen or so defensive spells on his body were all turned on. It's just that he didn't take the initiative. It's just defense. By analyzing that magical water cup, he has already got some clues he wants. It would be unwise to rush into war with the Faceless One.
Jia Kun seems to have a fairly high status among the Faceless. It was always him who spoke to Lin Xuan again. So Lin Xuan spoke directly to him.
"I know the rules of the Faceless. For every person you kill, you have to collect a financial sum commensurate with that person's worth. I'm the strongest mage in the world, what do you think will cost me to kill me? And you can't kill people at will without mercenary. ”
"Your purpose, wizard." After a long silence, Jia Kun spoke again. I don't know if it's Lin Xuan's illusion, he always felt that in the silent time just now, they had some kind of communication with each other. It's just that he can't notice it.
"I'm just curious about this place, come in and have a look." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but no one responded, and no one got out of the way.
"Well, I'm here to track down something. The new gods, the old gods, and your gods of a thousand faces. "That's it. The Faceless ones finally reacted. No matter what kind of order Jia Kun issued, I saw that all the faceless ones left one after another, leaving only Jia Kun and Lin Xuan.
Jia Kun didn't speak, just turned around and walked in the other direction. Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he wanted to keep up with him.
The two walked up the long, narrow and damp stairs, and talked about it, until they finally came to another hall. Just by looking at Lin Xuan, he understood where he was. This is the real Hall of a Thousand Faces. Save on thousands of different faces. When the Facelings are on a mission, they will choose the right mask here and attack in the most appropriate capacity.
"From thousands of years ago, when the first Faceless One was born, we have been Great Wall for thousands of generations. We are the servants of the God of a thousand faces, we are the tools, and we bring liberation to the world. That's what we teach. We have believed in it for thousands of years without question. ”
"And now? Are you suspicious? Lin Xuan vaguely guessed what he was going to say next.
"My faith in the God of a Thousand Faces has never wavered. But not all of them. It's been too long since I've heard the oracle, or never heard it. Voices have begun to emerge within the Facelings. ”
"I thought you were all fanatical believers who would unswervingly profess your teachings to the death?" Lin Xuan sneered.
Jia Kun didn't seem to hear his ridicule, and just said to himself. "I know you're a very powerful mage, and you're here for the Red God's relics. I want to know, what did you learn from it? ”
"Don't you know the water glass?"
"I know everything the glass does, but I don't know why it works. Like I said before, we never received any oracles. I've never doubted the God of a Thousand Faces, but I still want to know what you've discovered? ”
Don't you realize that when you say this, it means that you have become suspicious? Honestly, it's amazing enough that you've been able to believe for thousands of years. I've been to the Wizard's Hall of Immortality, and I've seen the Fountain of Shadows. Then I came here and saw the relics of the Red God. But the only thing I can tell you is that the 'God' you believe in exists. But whether it's exactly what you think it is, it's unknown. ”
