Chapter 30: The Faceless and Jon

In the study of the Blue Castle, the quill makes a rustling sound on the paper. Evan sat at his desk writing a letter while a man who had just come out of prison stood next to him. He didn't panic in the slightest, nor did he get anxious because of Aivan's deliberate snubbing. He is like a standard aristocrat, elegant and calm, and he is not surprised by anything.

The rustling sound stopped, and Evan rolled up the paper. Cover with fire paint. Then hide and tie it to the legs of the ravens on the windowsill. Fluttering, the ravens flew north. Only then did Ai Wen turn his head to look at the man opposite and whispered, "We finally met!" ”

The man on the other side said calmly: "Someone doesn't know why you use the word final, it's very inappropriate." ”

Evan smiled and said, "You've heard of me! ”

"Someone has heard of you, the wisest man in Westeros."

Ai Wen picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip slowly, and said, "I want to hear that is not the answer, you must know that I have been looking for your organization for five years. Hello, Faceless! ”

The man on the other side, who had always been elegant, had a surprised and panicked expression on his face, but he quickly concealed it. But Evan knew that his heart was in turmoil. He must be now speculating about what went wrong with the organization that led to the leak of intelligence. Looking at the man opposite, he knew that since Evan said such a thing, then Evan must have accurate information.

It had been a year since Evan had been secretly searching for the Faceless Order, and they had received word of it. But because I don't know what Aven's attitude is towards the Faceless. The group decided to send someone to Bear Island to find out.

But the invincible Faceless One was deflated, and the shadow of Bear Island immediately discovered the anomaly of the people sent by the Faceless One. It didn't take long for all sorts of arrests to arrive. Continuing the mission with the disguised Faceless Person. However, no matter how many people are sent to the face of anyone, as soon as they try to get close to Evan, they will be found to be abnormal. Eventually, the Faceless had no choice but to exit Bear Island.

The reason why Bear Island was able to detect anomalies was because Evan had already taken this kind of problem into account. Aivan, who led the rise of Bear Island, will inevitably have many people who want him to die. The Faceless One is unpredictable, and assassinating him is not too easy. But memories cannot be copied. Complete password system, handover system, confidentiality agreement, and political review. It's all about keeping Aven safe.

Don't look at the Blue Castle was easily invaded once, and the Icewolf died as a result. But that was only when Evan had just woken up, and he hadn't had time to use the power of King's Landing. Now, anyone who comes close to the Blue Castle will be observed by the shadows around them.

Jaqun Hegar had apparently heard of Evan in the Order, and everyone in the Order had known about Evan before. He knew that it was impossible for this man's wisdom to quibble, so he simply admitted: "Someone is a faceless one!" ”

Ai Wen's eyes were cold: "You faceless people believe in the god of death, aren't they all able to be hired?" Why have I been looking for you for so many years and you have never shown up? ”

Jaqun spoke, "We Facelings will reach out to the Employer before accepting the Employment. But we failed to reach you, something that has never happened in the history of the Facelings! So until you find out what you're trying to do with us, the Faceless One can only hide. ”

"Oh, is it? In the eight years I've been on Bear Island, I've noticed more than one intruder trying to get close to me. And what about the one sent by the Faceless One? ”

Jaqun wanted to explain, but Evan didn't give him a chance at all: "Whatever you approached me that time, what is the purpose?" Kill me or understand my purpose in reaching out to you? None of that matters anymore. I want to ask if you, who believe in the god of death, are willing to accept my employment! ”

Jaqun spoke, "Is your purpose merely to hire us, not to eradicate or make enemies of the Faceless Order?" ”

"Yes, I've been here for that all along. You faceless people should know that Bear Island is never short of money! ”

Jaqun spoke, "So, how long are you going to hire me?" ”

Evan looked at Jaqun with a smile and said solemnly, "I will hire the entire organization of the Faceless for a period of five years!" ”

……

After speaking to Aven, Jaquin lurked in King's Landing to contact the Faceless Order to see if they would agree to Evan's request for employment. Jaqun promised that whether the Faceless Organization agreed or not, he would come back and reap a life for Aven!

Evan didn't threaten him with saving Jaqun and let him serve him all the time. What Evan has to do is to cooperate with an organization that has been passed down for thousands of years, and if he saves one life for three lives like the original book and Arya, it will be a failure, and the foundation of cooperation between the two will not be solid.

The Blue Castle's study sends off Jaqun and welcomes another man, Jon Snow. His face was not angry, and he seemed to be full of resentment in his heart.

Evan said, "Sit down, have a glass of wine to quench the fire, you know, what an angry person does is also irrational!" ”

Jon complained, "I came to King's Landing to do so well. Why did my father keep trying to drive me away! ”

Evan said calmly, "Jon, we're actually the same kind of people! ”

Jon froze, then slowly regained his composure. He knew what Aven meant. He had also heard Aven's story. was snubbed by his father since he was a child, and he had a mother who didn't treat him well, and he was looked down on by the family for one reason or another. They all have a fire in their hearts, wanting to prove to their families and their fathers that their future achievements will make them look up. But apparently, Evan did it, he didn't.

Jon thought he would accomplish something when he came to King's Landing, but it was clearly not the place where he could accomplish anything. Eddard Stark is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, oppressing him at every turn, squeezing him out and trying to get him back to the North. King's Landing is not the place for him to prove himself!

He looked at the thin Ai Wen on the other side, and he actually admired it in his heart. This man was able to rise in a barren land and become one of the best beings in the kingdom. It is indeed worthy of his admiration. But what did Evan mean by what he just said? Jon chose to remain silent, waiting for Evan's next words.

It's a lie, and Evan and Jon aren't the same kind of people at all. Evan is just trying to complete the task, proving himself to his father is just an excuse for the world to understand him. And Jon, who really wants to prove himself to others, can be a bastard!

Evan was obviously not going to expose his lies, he looked at the maturing Jon and said, "I understand you, you want to achieve something, but after staying in King's Landing for so long, do you think this will be the place for you to prove your existence?" ”

"It's not!"

"Well, you're willing to stay here for the rest of your life. It's better to fight while you're young! ”

Jon affirmed, "Since you know me, you know that I will definitely choose to gamble!" ”

Evan stood up, patted Jon on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Good luck, then!" ”
