"Your Majesty. ”

Outside the conference room, the Hebrews, who were supposed to leave, hurried up.

"Oh, Lord Hebrew, is there anything wrong?" said Ma Shen, who was walking.

"The results of your command to investigate have been obtained. ”

"How's it going?" Ma Shen said as he glanced at the attendant officer behind him, who gracefully bent down and stepped outside.

"The wizard came to Meereen a week before the liberation of Meereen, and one of the guards tried to make it difficult for him to take off his broad hat, but the doorman suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and then some of the men of the Lord of Najenwei arrived and welcomed the wizard in. ”

"I know this, even the well-informed people in Meereen City. Ma Shen said in a steady tone.

"There was a maid who worked in the pyramid of Lord Nagien, and who survived, overheard some conversation between Lord Nacion and the sorcerer, who said that he had come to wait for the prophesied man and then killed him, and that he could help Lord Nacion to do something in the meantime. ”

The person in the prophecy? Does it refer to Daenerys, who symbolizes fire in the fusion of ice and fire, or is it himself as an outsider, Ma Shen frowned: "In addition to these, has the origin of the wizard been investigated?"

In the empty hallway, dim candles leaping on the walls, a slightly obese man whispered something to a gorgeously dressed young man: "According to the portions, I will send a large number of men to search for the witch in the direction from which he came, after all, according to the results of the autopsy, the witch is also a human being, and he also needs to eat, drink, and Lazar." “

"It wasn't until we finally tracked down the Black and White Courtyard of Braavos that only one of the twenty spies returned. ”

"The Black and White Courtyard of Braavos, the temple of the god of a thousand faces, the training ground for the Faceless. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Hebrew said with a solemn expression, "The surviving spy said that he was the only one who survived the sudden betrayal of many of his companions on the way, but in fact I think it should be a warning to those faceless. ”

The god of a thousand faces has different names in different places. For example, in Kohor it is the "Black Goat", in Yidi it is the "Night Lion", and in Westeros it is the "Stranger".

His followers believed that death was a merciful relief, and that at the cost they would agree to take the life of a human being on earth, as a sacrifice to God.

The elite of the faithful are called Faceless, and they are trained to complete these tasks and can perfectly imitate the appearance and voice.

"Twenty people came back with one, and it was indeed a warning. A hint of red flashed in Ma Shen's eyes, "In other words, after such a long time, I have tracked down those killers." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but in fact it is, only the Faceless now knows the origin of the wizard. Hebrew's tone was a little low and a little frustrated, "But I don't recommend provoking the Faceless. ”

"Then let's put it down for now, I'll go to the Black and White Courtyard when I have time. Ma Shen pondered for a while and replied, he had used the Unsullied Mask for Duke Eddard in King's Landing, so he knew that the Unsullied Mask's mask was completely realistic and did not look like a mortal mask when he put it on.

The Faceless is a very troublesome organization, and it is very simple to send an army to destroy their base, but the Faceless are not warriors, they are killers, assassins, and they are active, and if one base is destroyed, another base can be built, and then the people who provoke them will be in great trouble, whether it is a king or a big businessman, they will feel what is called despair, because when the Faceless unknowingly becomes a person around you, you don't know it at all.

Just like the Frey family, it was easily served off by a pot.

Fortunately, no one could afford to pay the Faceless One a noble king, so it didn't cause the encirclement of the world's rulers.

"But don't stop the investigation of wizards, collect some legends and cases of wizards, isn't there some neurological patients in our kingdom who live in small dilapidated houses and are not dared to approach by normal people, so invite them all to investigate, and the means should be gentle. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Hebrew understood the meaning of the king's words, but he did not understand why the king felt that there were sorcerers in such a place.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that in fact, the reason why Ma Shen thinks that there may be a wizard living in the small dilapidated house really has a certain basis.

Mortals are full of awe and fear of mysterious wizards, they think that wizards like to eat children, like to experiment with all kinds of cruel criminal laws on humans, and think that wizards behave very strangely.

And Ma Shen is privately known as a heroic king who wields mysterious powers, not a sorcerer king who wields evil magic.

In addition, all kinds of other messy nicknames are also widely circulated in the Eastern Continent, whether it is a real nickname, or the nickname that Ma Shen originally constructed in order to show face, all kinds of mysterious and magnificent stories have been fabricated by some gossip parties, and almost everyone knows about it under the promotion of some well-intentioned people in the Storm Kingdom.

Their king is a heroic figure, and in a world that worships individual strength, this is essential to maintaining the rule of the royal family, even if the so-called royal family has so far been a solitary one.

Then again, wizards are also human beings, both good and bad, but it is true that some wizards are really a little abnormal, and even make people feel very weird, because they are mentally ill and have their heads damaged by energy.

According to the introduction above in the system store, people who want to master prophecy or curses have to risk becoming mentally ill, and Ma Shen just doesn't want to become a nervous psychopath, so he doesn't want to learn high magic such as prophetic curses.

As a psychiatric wizard, he will appear to be a maverick, behave strangely, be rejected by ordinary people, and especially like to live in shabby cabins.

This particular preference for living in a dilapidated chalet is also a chilling after-effect of the special note in the shop.

The power of the curse was very powerful, and Ma Shen couldn't help but recall the appearance of the arrogant wizard dead, but at the same time it was very dangerous.

"Go back and rest, Lord Hebrew. After giving the order, Ma Shen nodded and turned around and continued towards the meeting room, where a special guest was now waiting for him.

"Then I'll take my leave, Your Majesty. The Hebrew saluted the departing figure of Masan from afar, then turned away, disappearing into the corridor of light and darkness.

The moon was obscured by shadows late at night, and even the Great Pyramid was somewhat obscure in a city where the people were reluctant to use oil candles for too long at night.

"Kick, kick. In the crisp footsteps, Ma Shen walked into the living room, and the first thing he saw was a man with a missing right arm and flexible eyes.

Ma Shen strode up and hugged him fiercely: "Long time no see, Luo Ao." ”

"Long time no see, my lord, your strength is getting stronger. Luo Ao took a deep breath and tried to resist Ma Shen's enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for almost a year, and this adult's strength was getting bigger and bigger.

"Hahaha. Ma Shen let go of Luo with a smile and patted the squire on the back a few times, "How has the past year?" ”

"Ahem, thanks to you, everything is fine, but... Luo hesitated, but told the truth.

"What!!Little Nasha has a crush on someone else!!" there was a desperate call from the living room.

The little cabbage that was raised with so much work was arched by someone else, no, I'm going to kill someone! Which man is who!

At the same time, thousands of miles away from the kingdom of Stormwind, a castle that seemed to have been deserted for a long time, with a roof overgrown with vegetation that seemed to be bent down under the weight of the pressure, and the walls, though made of solid flake blocks of the local abundance, had numerous cracks that allowed the ivy to hook on.

Two houses at right angles, sandwiched between them by a tall tower, facing the pond, the whole castle, the doors and shutters were loose from rot, the railings were rusty, and the windows were so tattered that they seemed to fall off one by one when the storm came.

Living in this windy abandoned castle is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but wizards have long been accustomed to it.

A dozen black-robed men sat around a table covered in asphalt.

"How's it going?"

"It went well. ”

"Good. ”
