The king's public promise was rough and barbaric for the scholars of the school, with supreme royal power. His Majesty did not respect the power of the school, he did not ask the school city for advice, even pretended not to do it, he just announced it directly in the sky: open his mouth to give the dragon crystal candle that is regarded as a holy object to the black and white courtyard.

This made everyone in the school city breathless.

This announcement also surprised the Earl of Layton, who felt uncomfortable. On the surface, it seems that Earl Layton is cooperating with the king to complete this action that overrides the power of the school, which is not in line with the ancient way that the Hightower family has always defended the interests of the school.

However, the notoriety and arrogance of the Magic Mountain are unreasonable, and the Seven Kingdoms became famous too early. He was a kingdom that he had acquired on a horse, and his past notoriety was as famous as his current invincibility. The unreasonable magic mountain is the familiar magic mountain in everyone's old concept.

Archsteward Muan looked at Earl Layton: "My lord, did His Majesty come to the city to stop the Faceless Ones from stealing, or to help the Faceless ones take our candles?" ”

"Scholar, His Majesty has revealed the Faceless's secret plan, and this is the best way to stop the Faceless from taking the Dragon Crystal Candle. We can't be sure if the Dragon Crystal Candle is still in the basement of the Starry Sanctuary. Arya Stark said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty clearly said that you would give the Faceless One a Dragon Crystal Candle. Chief Muan looked at Arya in disbelief.

"Your Excellency, Steward. Arya didn't hide her unkindness in her tone, "Since the Faceless One has set his sights on the Dragon Crystal Candle in the School City, do you think the School City's candle can save the first time and the second time?"

"The Black and White House has its own ancient ways and traditions, and if they fail, they won't come back. ”

Arya sneered, "Chief, your understanding of the Faceless One is very naïve. When the dragon crystal candle is stolen after many years, what do you have to know who took it? In the southern part of the kingdom, there is a local organization that is more mysterious and intelligent than the Facelesss, and their name is 'The Strangers'. In the East, there is a very remarkable group of wizards, and their names are Immortals. In Valantis, there is the largest Red Temple in the world, and the High Priest of the Red God also longs for a burning dragon crystal candle in his temple. When the Dragon Crystal Candle mysteriously disappeared one year, can you know who stole the Dragon Crystal Candle from the school? No one will know, and it will not be confirmed. ”

Governor Mu'an, who was originally an orator, was speechless and speechless.

Indeed, if it weren't for His Majesty the King this time, they wouldn't have known that the Faceless One had entered the Academy, and Earl Leighton wouldn't have known the truth about the Flairpen Bottle. The Faceless One has been running the Flone Bottle in Old Town for six hundred years, waiting for the moment when the Dragon Crystal Candle burns.

Arya's cold voice was as merciless as a sword: "Scholar, Lord Earl, the Quill Bottle has existed in Old Town for six hundred years, and any of you know that it is a secret outpost of the Faceless? Equally. When the Dragon Crystal Candle disappeared after some time, who of you could know that it was the Faceless One's hand? ”

Grand Administrator Mu An said, "My lord, I know that it is difficult for the Black and White Academy to train a faceless, and the number of faceless people is also very limited, unlike the thousands of bachelors, apprentices, and bachelor assistants in the academy. There won't be faceless people all over the streets, my lord. ”

"Yes, Lord Steward, the Faceless One will be there many of them where they are needed, and you see who I am?" said an extremely majestic voice. It was an unfamiliar voice, and both Grand Governor Muan and Earl Layton turned their heads in surprise, and they saw a man with an extremely resolute face on the horse, and Arya Stark was gone.

The Earl of Layton whispered, "Lord Jon Clinton." ”

That's right, Arya became Jon Clinton. Before the Usurper War, Earl Leighton had met Jon Clinton at a jousting tournament, and Jon Clinton was born with a resolute face, mighty, and so special that anyone who saw him would be impressed and hard to forget.

The chief of Muan was dumbfounded and nearly fell off his horse.

"When you know the secret of the face-changing, there is no mystery about my change. Jon Clinton flicked his hair, and his face and hair color changed in an instant, and she returned to her original self: Arya Stark.

Arya said, "Lord Steward, Lord Earl, when you are unable to know the faceless man's secret art of changing faces, you will eventually lose all of your dragon crystal candles. His Majesty's strategy is the best, it is better to give the Black and White Courtyard a dragon crystal candle in exchange for the long-term peace of the other two candles, and the school city and the black and white courtyard will also form the most sacred alliance because of the dragon crystal candle, which is beneficial to the occult research of the school city. ”

Both Mouan and Layton were silent.

Mu An was even more shocked in his heart, Arya Stark turned out to be a faceless one, and the magic mountain could actually have the ability to network the faceless one as his guard?!

The rules of this world look like they're about to be completely changed.

Strange Spirits, Dragons, First Evils of the Seven Kingdoms, Miracles of the Seven Gods, King of the Magic Mountain, Faceless One, Dragon Crystal Candle Spontaneous Combustion...... All of this is a sign that the world is about to change......

"I ask you to believe that His Majesty the King will not give the Black and White Courtyard a dragon crystal candle for nothing. From then on, the school city will also receive strong support and admiration from His Majesty the King, not just the Earl of Layton. ”

Grand Governor Muan and Earl Layton were finally moved by Arya's words.

Arya's mouth was like a river, and her words were as sharp as her narrow sword: "Bachelor, Count, the situation is urgent, and it is better to give them one generously than to have the candle taken by the Faceless for nothing." In my opinion, His Majesty's strategy is wise. The favor of Braavos Black and White House is an intangible huge wealth, every faceless person kneels down in front of the god of a thousand faces to swear, pray, meditate, meditate, they will see the dragon crystal candle, they will all know that the dragon crystal candle comes from the generous gift of the Westeros continent school city, all the faceless people will remember in their hearts, be grateful, and never forget, this invisible huge wealth will never be overdrawn. ”

*

The Chapel of the Stars.

Dozens of highly respected bachelors lined up on both sides.

His Majesty sat in the center, and even when he sat in a chair, he was taller than most of the scholars who were standing.

The Earl of Leighton stood at the right hand of the king and was honored.

The Grand Governor of the Governor's Pavilion, Scholar Muan, stands on the throne of His Majesty's left hand.

Three flaming dragon crystal candles stood in small silver trays on three sides, and the jumping flames seemed to have life.

In the sky above the school city, the dragon sheep thief is slowly gliding and wandering. The dragon's eyes were sharp, looking down at the Terrans below.

If it weren't for being tamed, the sheep thief would still be a wild dragon. For a wild dragon, there is only a difference in the quality of the meat between the meat of the human race and the meat of the goat, but they are both food. The dragon's power like a mountain covered the entire school city, and as soon as Long Yan vomited, the entire great school city would be burned to a liquid form, and it would never exist again.

This threat from the highest magical creature is invisible and qualitative!

Every entrance and exit to and from the Starry Sanctuary has been guarded by cavalry, with only one place to enter and exit.

On the left and right sides of the gate, the soldiers lined up to guard, just like in wartime.

*

Grand Steward Muan walked out of the hall and through several winding corridors to the gates of the Starry Sanctuary.

"Knight, there are unusual people coming in and out of the gate. ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary, Lord Sir. ”

At the knight's side, there were also several scholars.

The Faceless One's ability to disguise is very strong, and he can easily disguise himself as any other scholar to get in and out, but it is easy to change his face, and he has to tell the knowledge that the owner of that face is good at, where he lives, how long he has been in the school city, and who his teacher is...... The Faceless One can't do it.

Any bachelor, assistant, or apprentice who can't answer the questions that have the deepest relationship with him is naturally an anomaly.

Under the auspices of His Majesty the King, the officers and scholars of the Hightower family joined forces to closely check the entry and exit at the only entrance, and no matter who they were, they had to answer a series of questions about their origins, parents, education, personality, etc. As long as there are faceless ones in the Starry Sanctuary, they will definitely be tested by these meticulous questions.

After inspecting and inquiring about the situation, Grand Administrator Mu An was satisfied with the work of the Scholars and the Knights, and he said, "Continue to check and screen everyone in the Star Sanctuary. ”

"Yes, Lord Steward. ”

"Knight, give me a horse, and I'm going to the Weeping Tower, and His Majesty has commanded me to go and fetch the Scholar Vograve. His apprentice, Pate, had been seen this morning, but no one had seen him again, and he could not be found where he was. We already know that Pate took the key to the University of Swograve. ”

"Yes, Lord Steward. ”

The knight ordered a reservist behind the pillar, who was working as a groom, to bring a horse. The soldier said, "Scholar Muan, let me go with you, Scholar Vograve has difficulty moving, he may not be able to ride a stable horse, I can serve him like Peter." ”

"Okay, you come with me. Chief Muan said.

Grand Governor Muan looked at the knight, who agreed to let the soldier go with him to bring Svograve to the Templar of the Stars.

Two men and three horses, headed for the weeping tower.

*

"Rory, are you going to run away?" the soldier who accompanied him suddenly said something very strange. He called the Grand Governor of Muan Rory.

"Arya, are you going to take me to your majesty?" said the Grand Steward, known as Rory, in the same strange remark.

"Aren't you considering His Majesty's suggestion? ”

"Demon Mountain is not a trustworthy person, I am willing to meet him in private, and I am not willing to disclose my identity to meet him in the Star Sanctuary in the school city. His notoriety is so bad that he can smash my head with a single punch. ”

"Moshan is not a despicable villain, he is a great hero. ”

"When did the chief evil of the Seven Kingdoms, who burned, killed, raped, and robbed, become a great hero?" Rory's words were full of sarcasm.

"When he killed the Night King and saved the lives of the entire continent. Arya shot back coldly.

Rory paused slightly.

"He is no longer the magic mountain he used to be, he has already transformed into a lightbringer. His brutality and ferocity in the past were downplayed by the gods when he sacrificed his life to save the entire continent. Arya's voice was cold, "Rory, are you and the Black and White House going to question the choice of the gods? The gods also include the god of death and the god of a thousand faces. ”

"Arya, I'm on command. I'm not going to see the Magic Mountain. ”

"What if I'm going to invite you there?"

"Oh, do you have what it takes to stop me?" Rory laughed, "Your narrow sword swordsmanship is too slow to be vulnerable. ”

"I want to try!" Arya said lightly.

"Then try!"

The air was suddenly filled with murderous aura, and suddenly, a silver light shot out of Rory's palm like a little starlight, heading straight for Arya's lower abdomen.

It's not the throat, it's the lower abdomen.

Arya, who is riding on a war horse, will definitely not be able to dodge.

Arya didn't draw her sword.

She didn't dodge either.

A black shadow sword stabbed out diagonally, and with a soft clang, it knocked Rory's knife away. The shadow sword swirled, and the sharp blade was frozen in front of Rory.

Rory saw a black shadow with Arya's silhouette floating beside him, and the shadow held a shadow sword in his hand.

"What sorcery?"

"Rory, everyone dies. Arya said lightly.

“...... Everyone must serve......"

"Can I ask you to come with me to the Magic Mountain now?"

“............”

*

A few days later, the Isle of the Gods in Braavos.

Black and White House.

Cocoa!

There was a knock on the majestic gate of the black and white courtyard.

The person who knocked on the door was cautious, but he was afraid that the people in the courtyard would not hear.

The inside of the black and white courtyard is very deep, and now it is the time when the sky is just revealing the white of the fish's belly.

After a long time, the door silently opened a narrow slit, and a man was half exposed, one black eye expressionless, hollow and godless.

"My teacher, someone asked me to send these two things. "The person who knocked on the door was a fisherman of this generation, and he was sincerely afraid of anyone in the black and white courtyard, and called me a teacher.

The man inside the door remained silent, his black eyes returning from the sky as if he had heard a sound, and his gaze fell on the fisherman's face.

The fisherman shook the rope, stretched out his hand, and spread it out, and in his hand were two round iron coins that were badly worn. On one side of the coin is a human head, and on the other side is engraved two words: All mortals die, and all must serve.

Half of Mu Ran's face suddenly glowed, and his black eyes suddenly became as terrifying as a blade.

Half of the door was completely opened, and the person who was hiding behind the door with most of his body was exposed, with a pale yellow monk's robe, shriveled lips, a shriveled chin, a small nose, and black eyes, this was a thin old man, an elder in the Black and White Courtyard, and he took the two iron coins representing the two disciples of the Black and White Academy: "What about the person who asked you to send something?"

"He told me that he lived on top of the Titans. ”

"The top of the Titan's head?" the old man wondered.

The Tita Giant is one of the Nine Wonders of the World and the gateway to the city-state of Braavos, where the two feet of the giant are two islands. The body of a giant is a mountain. Ships of all sizes entering and leaving Braavos enter and exit through the sea channel between the Titans' legs.

Guarding Braavos' lookout post, built inside the two eyes of the Titans. The top of the giant's head has always been grassless, slippery and clean, and the sea breeze blows, and even the seabirds do not like to stay, but it is not suitable for people.

But the fisherman said that the man lived on top of the Titan's head.

There was no way up to the top of the giant's head.
