Manager Bernice looked at Bran Stark with a hesitant expression: "Prophet, fire is easy to fire, but I can't solve the narrow sword after setting fire. "Bernith fears that after setting fire to the three Iron Vault Elders, he will not be able to control the Iron Vault Killers that the three elders have secretly trained.

Those are the means of the Faceless One.

Bernice made a pun, the narrow sword he said was not only the narrow sword that went to assassinate the Demon Mountain, but also the narrow sword of the Iron Vault killer trained by the three elders.

"I might be able to help you. Bran said indifferently.

Bernice wondered if Bran knew that he had set fire to two targets, the first, of course, to burn Arya, and second, to burn the three elders of the Iron Vault. As soon as the three elders died, there was only one real ruler left in the Iron Vault: Bernice himself.

The idea of burning the three elders of the Iron Vault together, Bernice could no longer suppress it.

Even if he killed Bernice, he wouldn't choose to cooperate with the Magic Mountain.

To cooperate is to surrender, to submit, to disgrace.

The iron vault is supreme and will never bend its knees.

However, the three elders were cowardly by the failure of an assassination mission, forgetting the supremacy and eternal glory of the Iron Vault.

When Bran said that a single fire would be able to deal with the most powerful Faceless, Bernice immediately thought of burning the three elders.

The three elders trusted Bernis, and were unguarded. To set fire to three old people, Bernice thought it would not be difficult.

What is difficult to do after burning the three elders?

The Iron Vault Killer only obeys the orders of the three elders, and is trained by the three elders. Will the killer avenge the three elders and thus find out that the biggest suspect is Bernice.

Bernis's hesitant expression came from how he could control the power of the Iron Vault's 'narrow sword' after burning the three Iron Vault elders to death.

If he couldn't control it, then there was no need to burn the three elders. If the Green Prophet had a way to help him, he could take decisive action.

Bran said that maybe it would help him, that it wasn't the answer Bernice wanted, that he needed a definite answer.

"No, maybe, messing with the Faceless is a big deal of losing your head. ”

"Everyone dies once, and there is nothing to fear. Bran said lightly.

"Unless the Prophet can tell me definitively how to find the Narrowsword? After I burn Arya Stark, the House of Black and White will no longer send the Narrowsword to assassinate the Mountain. We need a new narrow sword to assassinate the Demon Mountain, how can we find that new narrow sword?" Bernice almost said how to control the killer of the Iron Vault after burning the three elders of the Iron Vault.

Bran looked at Bronis for a long time, and said, "Manager Bronis, the whole world only knows that you are the boss of the Iron Vault. ”

It is true that the whole world only knows the name of Bernis, and does not know that there are three elders behind Manager Bernice.

The Prophet was unaware of my fears. Bernice said disappointedly.

"I know what Manager Bernice is worried about. If Arya is burned to death, you will find a narrow sword to assassinate the Demon Mountain. Are there any swordsmen in the world that gold can't solve?"

"I know that Arya Stark is a swordsman that gold can't solve. ”

"There's only one Arya Stark in the world, and there will never be a second. ”

Bernice knew it.

The Prophet told him that as long as the three elders were burned to death, he would naturally be the only owner of the Iron Vault, and the power of the narrow sword would naturally fall into his hands. The outside world only knows that there is Bernice, and it doesn't know that there are other people. After the loss of the three elders, the Iron Vault was even more inseparable from Bernice. He holds the power alone, and the killers of the Iron Vault can only obey him, no matter what they think.

However, Bernice was still reluctant to take a rash risk.

He needed to make sure that the Prophet knew that it wasn't Arya who he wanted to set fire to death right now, but the three Iron Vault Elders.

Did the Prophet hear what he was saying?

No, it has to be clear that there are no mistakes.

Bernice looked at Bran, "Prophet, I have some secrets that I can only tell you alone. ”

Bran looked at Bernis without any surprise at the confidential words, and his indifferent gaze returned to a place on the ceiling: "Count Luce Burton, please go out first." ”

"Yes, Prophet. Luce Bolton said softly.

His words were as soft as a girl's.

Luce Burton silently walked out of the room and closed the door.

Bran stared at somewhere on the ceiling overhead, silent.

Bernice suddenly wanted to strangle the lame boy to death.

He was a very proud man, but he met a prophetic boy who was many times prouder than him.

Most of the time, this lame boy didn't bother to look at him at all.

He is the sole manager of the iron vault that controls the most gold in the world.

This is enough gold to bury the boy and build a huge fortress and tomb for him. But it's still not enough.

"Prophet, the Iron Vault has its own killers. ”

"Oh!" Bran was so indifferent that he didn't seem to hear at all.

Bernice was suffocated. If he had the chance to do so in the future, he decided to kill the lame prophet as well.

After the failed assassination of Arya, the three elders decided to change their plans, acknowledging that Arya was the Elder of the Mandate of Heaven in the Black and White Academy, and asked Arya to contact the Iron Vault and the Magic Mountain to discuss how to implement the World Paper Money and Banking Project with the Magic Mountain. ”

Bran's gaze then returned from the ceiling to Manager Bernice, and to Bernice's disappointment, he didn't see the shock in the boy's eyes.

Even if the boy was a prophet, he should have been surprised to hear that the Iron Vault had decided to work with the Magic Mountain.

But no.

"The three elders of the Iron Vault want to betray me and the Sea King?"

"Yes, they decided to betray the Iron Vault, the Prophet, and the Sea King. ”

"What does Manager Bernice mean?"

"No one can betray the Iron Vault. ”

"It's time for Manager Bernice to persuade the three elders to dispel this stupid idea. ”

"I can only advise the three elders, but it is clear that my suggestion is not working. ”

Blann looked at Bernice fixedly: "Manager Bernice, do you want to defend the dignity and glory of the Iron Vault?"

"I am willing to do anything for the sake of the Iron Vault, including giving my life. Even if the Iron Vault wants to promote the world's banknotes, it will promote it by itself, and it will definitely not cooperate with the Magic Mountain. ”

"Then eradicate the three traitors to the Iron Vault. For the first time, Bran accentuated his tone.

"After eradication, how can we control the 'narrow sword power' of the Iron Vault. "Manager Bernice uses the word 'we' here. He skillfully tied the prophet to his chariot. Just by turning me into us.

Bran was silent.

After a while, he said, "I have an idea, you arrange for me to meet with the three elders, and I will convince the three elders to send me a killer, and then my green vision ability can use this killer to uncover all the secrets of the Iron Vault Killer Organization." ”

Bernis's heart rejoiced: "After the Prophet discovers the secret of the killer of the Iron Vault, we will be able to control the power of the Iron Vault's narrow sword. ”

"Yes. Bran said lightly.

Bernice's dissatisfaction with the arrogance of the prophet was swept away. After he was the only boss of the Iron Vault, the power of the Narrow Sword would of course fall into his hands, and the lame man only needed to tell him the secret, and everything would be in order. The cripple wants to die in the magic mountain, and he can't do without the double support of the gold of the Iron Vault and the killer of the Iron Vault.

The Prophet needed Bernice's long-term support! The final conquest of Westeros would be a long time.

"Okay, I'll arrange for the prophet to meet with the three elders. Only, who did the Prophet want the Elder to send this killer to assassinate?"

"I will tell the three elders when we meet, and they will agree. ”

"What is the Prophet's negotiation strategy?" Bernice considers himself to be the best at negotiating, setting up situations, and digging traps, and he hopes to help the Prophet make a foolproof plan.

"First of all, I will propose a task that the three elders cannot complete, and ask them to continue to support me in eradicating the Demon Mountain, since they have decided to shake hands with the Demon Mountain Arya, the three elders will not agree, at this time, I will change my mind and tell a secret in exchange for one of their killers to help me kill another person. ”

"What's the secret?"

"I'll tell the three elders the secret that Manager Bernice was going to set them on fire. ”

Bernice's face changed.

Bran was still as calm as water, as indifferent as ice, and his expression did not change.

"Tell the Prophet for a secret. ”

"For the sake of the Iron Vault, you said that you were willing to give your life. ”

"Yes, everything about me has already been linked to the Iron Vault. I would do anything for the sake of the Iron Vault, including giving my life, but the Prophet's plan is variable. ”

"Bernice, only if I tell your secret, the three elders will believe me completely, and they will lend me a killer. For the Iron Vault, Bernice. ”

"When the three elders knew that I would set fire to them, I couldn't set them on fire. ”

"I am responsible for burning the three elders of the Iron Vault, and I will do my best for Manager Bernis to control the Iron Vault, and you will be responsible for burning the Black and White Courtyard. Bran said indifferently.

"Burn down the Black and White Courtyard?" Bernice thought he had misheard.

"The Black and White Courtyard has deteriorated, set fire to it, and then rebuilt it. The killer of the Iron Vault is the Faceless Man of the Future Black and White Courtyard. ”

Bernice was completely stunned!

He only has an iron vault in his heart, and he doesn't want to abolish the entire Black and White Courtyard.

"Bernice, will the Faceless Ones spare you after you burned Arya Stark? Arya is their Destiny Elder, the appointed Son of God of their faith. If you want to do it, cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The Iron Vault and the Black and White House were one and the same in the founding period. ”

"Good!"

*

A few days later.

"Elder Heavenly Destiny, if there are believers at the pool of the Thousand Gods Temple, I must see you," Xiao Mei said respectfully.

Arya single-handedly killed four top killers who sneaked into the Black and White Courtyard The prestige of the Mandate Elder of the Black and White Courtyard has spread throughout Braavos, and all the believers of Braavos know that there is a great Mandate Elder in the Black and White Courtyard, and the rumored Dragon Crystal Candle Holy Relic has also been lit up in the Thousand Faces Temple of the Black and White Courtyard, and every day, more and more believers come to the Black and White Courtyard to pray, serve, and ask for a home.

Many believers want to receive a prayer or wish from an elder before deciding to serve the God of a Thousand Faces.

Everyone dies!

At the Temple of a Thousand Faces, death is home, liberation, peace, and happiness.

Everyone must serve!

Only those who have seen through death can better understand life and serve themselves to the red god.

And for life, the final outcome is the same: all die!

What is really difficult is not life and death, but the calmness of life and the calmness of death.

The Temple of a Thousand Faces is a place where believers die peacefully.

In the last days of the believers, some devout believers hoped to receive a word or a nod from the Elder of Destiny, which was a great gift and satisfaction.

Arya Stark wasn't used to being a Manifest Elder yet.

Nor is he accustomed to being looked at and kneeled by the believers who worship him like a god wherever he goes.

The former brothers stopped playing and laughing with her, and respected her as an elder, all of whom were respectful, which made Arya very uncomfortable.

However, in the face of the devotion of the faithful, Arya basically responds to the request.

Arya made her way to the pool.

A monk holds half a bowl of holy water in his hand and hands it to a believer wrapped in the sleeves of a red robe.

The hood of the faithful covered his face.

When the monk told the faithful that the Provident Elder had arrived, the believer turned and Arya saw a beautiful face she was familiar with: Daenerys Targaryen.

"Come with me, this believer. Arya's face was shocked, and she didn't move. She reached out and took the monk's half bowl of holy water, turned and left.

The faithful hung her head, her hood still obscuring her, but she knew Arya could see her face.

Arya had already recognized her just now.

Fortunately, the prophecy that Lady Melisandre saw in the flames had not yet happened.

He and the Demon Mountain Dragon came to meet before it happened.

Arya and Daenerys Targaryen entered the Elder's Ashram together.

Although the monks felt a little unusual, this was not an exception. When the elders meet with believers, they have a precedent for bringing them into the elders' ashram.

"Daenerys, what are you doing here?" Arya's tone was not at all polite.

She never had a crush on Daenerys.

"I'm here with the Magic Mountain. ”

Arya's gaze froze.

She heard Daenerys call the Magic Mountain by its name, not His Majesty. Daenerys spoke naturally, as if she and the Magic Mountain were used to each other.

It was a small detail, but it struck Arya as unusual.

"What are you doing here with the Magic Mountain?"

"Save you!"

"Help me?" Arya sneered in her heart, and there was a faint disdain in her tone.

She is the Elder of Heavenly Destiny in the Black and White Courtyard, who dares to come to seek death in the Black and White Courtyard. The Black and White House is currently working hard to gather evidence that the Iron Vault sent a killer to assassinate Arya, and then have a showdown with the Iron Vault, at this time, Arya doesn't want anyone else to disturb her.

"Lady Melisandre saw the prophecy in the flames. ”

"What prophecy?"

"Someone may set fire to the Black and White Courtyard, and Madame sees you in flames. ”

Arya smiled, not believing it in the slightest, "Lady Melisandre taught me fire magic, and she knows that I am not afraid of fire at all. ”

"Just because you know fire magic doesn't mean you're not burning. Flames hurt you. Daenerys was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was calm. She has experienced too many ups and downs, and now under the influence of the magic mountain, she has finally made up her mind, clarified the future direction and goals, and the temperament of the whole person has changed. In the face of Arya's hostility and disdain, the Mother of Dragons is calm and immobile like a mountain.
