Melisandre walked into the tent, her beauty like a flame, hot, sexy, seductive. Daenerys Targaryen's beauty, on the other hand, is exquisite, immaculate, and perfect. The beauty of both women is the ultimate in their own style, and for men, Melisandre is exhilarating and Daenerys is intoxicating.

Daenerys looked at Melisandre intently, as a woman, Daenerys faintly felt that Melisandre was a threat to her.

The Magic Mountain and Melisandre walked closely.

However, this inner thought passed through Daenerys's heart like a wisp of green smoke. There was no shortage of admirers and suitors around her, such as the leader of the Faceless Ones, Greyworm, the captain of the guard, Jorah Mormont, and the beheaded lover general Dario who was beheaded by the Magic Mountain, all of whom were obsessed with Daenerys' affection.

"Madame, General Joyce said that Arya Stark is in danger. "The Magic Mountain stood in the middle of the tent, its tall figure projected on the huge tent wall, like a giant.

"Your Majesty, I saw in the flames that Arya was besieged and her house was burned down by the flames. ”

"What place, what time?" said the Magic Mountain in a deep voice.

"I don't know. But I saw that the people who attacked Arya were using narrow swords. ”

"The faceless and swordsmen of Braavos wield narrow swords. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The Magic Mountain fell silent and walked around in the big tent.

"Your Majesty, I'll accompany you to Braavos and bring Arya back. Sansa Stark's wedding is also approaching, and it will take two months for Arya to sail back from Braavos to the West. Daenerys Targaryen said.

"Good!" Magic Mountain immediately decided.

He couldn't put Arya Stark in danger, Arya was his personal guard and his friend.

Being able to ride the dragon to Braavos with Daenerys will have a huge influence on the future conquest of the continent of Essos. The influence of the Mother of Dragons in the continent of Essos is unparalleled, and her appearance and appearance, both politically and militarily, have been a huge help to the Magic Mountain.

Braavos, Black and White Courtyard. Elders' Chamber.

There were three people seated in the conference room.

A very fat big fat man - the ruler of Braavos - Aquaman.

Aquaman is very fat, so fat that he has to wheezing when he walks.

But Arya could tell that it was deliberately disguised by Aquaman.

Aquaman is a very dexterous fat man, and looking at his hands, his swordsmanship must be very good.

But Aquaman never used a sword in front of anyone.

He always travels in a palanquin, which is carried by eight guards.

Sitting opposite Aquaman was Bernice, the manager from the Iron Vault.

Bernice was dressed plainly, without a beard, and his chin was bare-shaven. His nose is high and straight, and his logo has an eagle hook, and his eyes look like hooks.

Now the hooks are staring at Arya Stark.

The hook was sharp and sharp, but Arya Stark was expressionless, light and calm, and under the dagger of Bernice's gaze, she was at ease.

"What about the Grand Elder and the Elder of Internal Affairs?" Bernice spoke not politely, but he did not lose his politeness either. His voice was not loud, somewhat similar to the soft words of the skinner, Ruth Burton.

"They are serving the Red God. Arya said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

"The seven elders drank the 'Shadow' potion at the same time. ”

"How could there be such a move?" Aquaman's jaws twitched, and his eyes were full of doubt.

"Maybe it's the will of the Red God. Arya said.

"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, may I enter the elders' room and admire their appearance?"

"Not yet. Arya refused

"Why?"

"Because I'm an Elder of Heavenly Destiny, I said I can't. Arya said lightly.

Bernice's hook-like eyes were staring at Arya, who had looked down on her from the first time he entered, and didn't believe that Arya was an Elder of Destiny.

"Elder, the Black and White Courtyard was built because of the help of the Iron Vault. Bernisa said coldly, "Each of the Seven Great Elders is my most respected senior, and if they sit here, we will be like a family. Arya, you are the latest generation of Faceless disciples, and you probably don't know the deep relationship between the Iron Vault and the Black and White Academy. ”

"Manager Bernice, tell me why you came to the Black and White Courtyard. "Arya is too lazy to talk to Bernice. Bernis, the owner of the money, holds a huge wealth in his hands that surpasses the state, he has been on the high for a long time, and he has developed his own authoritarian temperament, and he clearly looks down on Arya. However, Arya also looks down on him.

Arya went straight to the point, refusing to gossip with Bernice, and asked him directly why he had come.

"Elder Destiny, I'm here to hope that you can put the Green Prophet in the face of the Iron Vault. ”

"Oh. Arya was noncommittal, she looked at the Sea King: "Your Majesty the Sea King, what are you coming to the Black and White Courtyard today?"

"Elder, my purpose is the same as that of Manager Bernis. ”

"His Majesty the Sea King also hopes that I can release the Green Prophet?"

"Yes, in addition to this, there is another one, the Black and White House accepted the commission of the Green Prophet, and the iron vault produced gold, and I made a guarantee. The name is out, death is coming, and we need to see the human head of the Magic Mountain. Aquaman said with a smile. Aquaman's smile was very kind, with the special kindness of the fat man.

Arya looked at the Sea King, and then at the Iron Vault: "Your Majesty the Sea King, Manager Bernice, if the Seven Great Elders were still sitting here, would you ask them the same?"

"No, absolutely not. Aquaman said with a smile.

"Yes, we absolutely not. Manager Bernice also laughed. His smile is not smiling, and with his hooked nose and hooked eyes, he looks a little oozing.

"Oh, that's me talking softly?" Arya smiled as well.

"It's not that the elders are soft-spoken, but that the seven elders will never unilaterally tear up the agreement. His Majesty said with a smile. His temperament is very similar to that of a bookkeeper who calculates small accounts and takes advantage of small accounts.

Bernice's gaze was like a hook hook on Arya's face: "Elder, the Black and White Courtyard is world-famous, and the prestige of the Faceless is terrifying, and it is the first time in a thousand years that there has been a case of the Faceless taking over the task and refusing to complete it. If the Elder insists on this, I dare to assert that it will be the beginning of the decline of the House of Black and White. After the news broke, no one would fear the Faceless One anymore. ”

Arya frowned: "Your Majesty Aquaman, Manager Bernis, how should the Faceless One do things, when will it be the turn of the Iron Vault that will only use the abacus to calculate interest, and when will it be the turn of His Majesty the Sea King to be around? His Majesty the Sea King, Manager Bernice, and the gods also have times when they snooze, let alone the Faceless One. The Green Prophet Bran Stark, who is my own brother, will naturally defend all of his own. But assassinating the Magic Mountain will bring disaster to the people of Braavos. ”

"Oh, the Faceless One admits that he can't deal with the Magic Mountain?" Bernice laughed. There was no smile on his face, but his laughter echoed through the council chamber in a harsh voice.

"Only by killing the Magic Mountain can we stop the Magic Mountain's attack on Braavos, and only then can the people of Braavos be spared the catastrophe of war. Aquaman put away his smile and said.

Arya slowly stood up and said coldly: "Your Majesty the Sea King, the Facelesser's plan to assassinate the Demon Mountain has already been leaked, if the plan is not terminated, the Demon Mountain will come with a dragon, starting with the Titan Giant in Braavos, and then the arsenal, the shipyard, the breakwater, the Sea King's Palace, the Island of the Gods, the Iron Vault Island, and the entire Braavos will become a scorched earth." ”

"How could the Magic Mountain know about the Faceless Assassination Plan?" Bernis's voice became high and high-pitched, "This is top secret, who in this world would know about this assassination plan except for the Green Prophet, His Majesty the Sea King, Bernice himself, and the elders of the Black and White Academy? No one will know, then, who leaked the news?"

Bernice's gaze was fixed on Arya Stark, and the meaning of his gaze was clear, this was what Arya had leaked the news about.

Arya smiled slightly, but the smile was as cold as ice: "Manager Bernice, the Magic Mountain is also a Green Prophet. ”

"No way. Manager Bernice said categorically. His face turned blue, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to swear in the name of the Thousand Faces in the Thousand Temple?" Arya's tone was already murderous.

The Black and White Elder has a high status, but he is oppressed by Aquaman and Manager Bernis. This is also the first time in the millennium of the Black and White Academy. Shortly after the death of the Seven Elders, Arya was a new disciple, and she had not yet established trust with the various forces, and the forces looked down on this little girl from Westeros who still called herself by a worldly surname.

The Sea King's gaze also became majestic and solemn: "Elder, I can't believe that the Demon Mountain is also a Green Prophet. ”

"The Mountain can foresee things that Bran Stark can't even know. Arya said with certainty.

"Then release the Green Prophet, we need the Green Prophet to falsify. Manager Bernice said unceremoniously.

Arya was furious, and the manager of the Iron Vault made it clear that he didn't believe what she said, and he directly asked Arya to release Bran, as if he could call the shots.

"Manager Bernice, you are persona non grata in the Black and White House, please leave immediately. ”

Bernes laughed, "Elder, most of the gold in the Black and White Courtyard is in the Iron Vault. ”

Suddenly there was a flash of purple light, and Bernice felt a chill in his ears, followed by a stinging pain that spread throughout his body, and one of his right ears was sliced off by Arya's Empty Lady, and blood splattered out, spilling the blood on Manager Bernis's chest.

"You?!" Manager Bernice incredulous. His hooked eyes were round, his hooked nose was constantly spitting, his chest was heaving, and his face was pale.

"Manager Bernice, if there is one less piece of gold in the Black and White Courtyard, I will kill you. ”

"You dare to draw your sword at me?" Manager Bernis, still muttering, "The Black and White Courtyard was built with the funding of the Iron Vault, and the elders of the past generations have respected the Iron Vault, and the older generation of guards in the Iron Vault are the Faceless Ones of the Black and White Courtyard. How dare you draw your sword against me?!"

"Get out!" said Arya. Her hand pressed on the hilt of the sword: "Manager Bernice, if you dare to step into the Black and White Courtyard in the future, I will cut off your other ear." ”

Bernice picked up his ear from the pool of blood on the table and staggered out.

Aquaman's face did not change in the face of Arya's sword and Bernice's blood, and he looked as if he had watched a fight between two children: "Elder, when you use a sword against the Iron Vault, you are actually using a sword against yourself. There are also elders in the Iron Vault, many of whom are secretly trained in the Black and White Courtyard, and they have the skills of the Faceless One. In the founder's generation, the iron vault was the black and white courtyard, and the black and white courtyard was the iron treasury, but it was only later that the two were separated, and finally became completely independent. Although you are an elder, you are not familiar with the origin and history of the Black and White Court. ”

"Your Majesty, I have not completed my training in accordance with the teachings of the Black and White Academy. After three years of training, the best Faceless disciples will be promoted to the rank of assistant elder, and after three years of training, they will pass the assessment and be promoted to assistant elder, and after three years of training, they will be promoted to the rank of reserve elder, and finally, when an elder serves the red god, the position of elder will become vacant, and the reserve elder can fill the position and become a real elder. I am an Elder of Heavenly Destiny, and I have not gone through this series of promotion channels, nor have I gone through the training and study to become an elder. ”

"Elder, you have made it very clear how an ordinary disciple finally became an elder through his own efforts, but your actions are not clear. In any case, it is certain that the Black and White House will not unilaterally break the contract, and another point is that in the early days of the establishment of the Iron Vault, it did not leave the protection of the Black and White Academy, and the Black and White Court from the initial fortress construction can also be separated from the wealth support of the Iron Vault. Braavos's three stable strengths have shaped Braavos's strength, the wealth of the Iron Vault, the Faceless of the Black and White Courtyard, and the unrivaled naval fleet. You have only been an elder for a few days, and you have personally ruined the situation of these three aspects of supporting each other. You drew your sword and hurt Manager Bernice, although he is not the elder of the Iron Vault, he represents the dignity of the Iron Vault, and his face is the face of the Iron Vault. ”

"Your Majesty the Sea King, the dragon is here, and the rules of the world are being changed. Dragons are flying in the skies, magic is being revived, and the Green Prophet is about to assassinate the Mountain for the Iron Throne, and the Green Prophet, whose real name is Blood Raven Brynden Riverwin, an illegitimate son of House Targaryen, and the Green Prophet is also known to the Green Prophet. If the Iron Vault, the Black and White Courtyard, and the Neptune's Palace support the Green Prophet, then what awaits Braavos is destruction. The Sea King's Palace and the Iron Vault have chosen the path of destruction, and if the Black and White Courtyard can't stop your choice, then please let the Black and White Courtyard be left alone. ”

Aquaman slowly stood up, stared at Arya, and looked at him for a long time: "Elder, you are not a faceless one. ”

Aquaman turned and walked out, he didn't gasp, and his movements were not stupid.

Arya said, "Your Majesty, I know your choice, and I think you also know my choice, so won't you take your Green Prophet with you?"

Aquaman stood still and didn't turn around: "Arya, you won't kill him?"

"Killing him will not prove that I have made the right choice. ”

"You let the prophet go, don't you regret it?"

"When I grew up, I never did anything I regretted. ”
