"Arya!" a voice with a distinctively Westeros accent.

"Little devil. ”

"You killed Ealing Pine?"

"He wouldn't let me in. ”

The little devil walked down the wooden staircase, his tone full of mockery: "It turns out that not letting you in is a capital offense. ”

"His hands were stained with the blood of the Northerners. Arya said lightly, "In the year 298 of Aegon, all the people in Tower, Prime Minister of King's Landing, were killed by Cersei's order, and Eain Pine's hands were stained with the blood of the Northerners. "He's just doing what he's told. ”

"Me too. ”

"Oh, who did you order to kill him?"

"Death, all men must be worshipped. ”

The little devil shrugged his shoulders and looked a little pale, as if he was not sleeping well: "Arya, are you going to kill me?"

"I wouldn't mind killing a Lannister, if you wanted. ”

"I mind. ”

"Then let Bran out, I have something to look for him. ”

"Bran is not here. "You should look at the courtyard, if Bran is here, the skinners and sons will be there, and Dorne's two sand snakes." ”

"What about His Majesty Tommen and Princess Messirah, and they went with Bran, and where did they go?"

The little devil shook his head: "Arya, you are the Faceless One, the King of Braavos, you don't even know where Bran went, how can I know." ”

"I'll find out quickly, but I want you to tell me directly, maybe then I won't kill you. ”

"Kill me, my death won't bring you any useful news, Arya. Maybe everyone around Bran knows where he went, but I don't. Bran didn't believe me, he thought I was from the Magic Mountain. ”

"Then did you kneel down in front of the Magic Mountain and swear allegiance?"

"Yes, outside the dragon's lair in Cloud Mountain, I had to kneel down and swear allegiance to the Demon Mountain, which is not a good talker and is not reasonable. ”

Arya gave a disdainful sneer, and she made no secret of her contempt for the little demon: "Little devil, since you have sworn allegiance to the Demon Mountain, you should know that Bran entrusted the Faceless One with the life of the Demon Mountain. I heard from the Magic Mountain that he once saved your life and spared you several times. ”

"He took out one of my eyes when he saved me. The little devil's fingers flexed, and the ring on his finger struck his left eyeball, making a tinkling sound.

"I've heard the Magic Mountain say that it was Cersei who wanted your life, and he gouged out one of your eyes to get revenge on your sister Cersei. ”

"Okay, Cersei is to blame for everything, but the Magic Mountain can go back without gouging out my eyes. Although my eldest sister is the queen mother, she can't do anything to the magic mountain. My father, Tywin, was killed by the Magic Mountain, so who else can be feared by the Mountain?"

"It makes sense that you should seek revenge on the Demon Mountain, instead of kneeling down to him and swearing allegiance. Arya snorted in her nostrils.

The little devil shrugged his shoulders: "Arya, I'm also a participant in Bran's hiring of the Faceless to assassinate the Demon Mountain. "I was there when Bran went to see Aquaman to convince Aquaman to vouch for him the Iron Vault. I did a lot of work to convince Bran to convince Aquaman. ”

"The Magic Mountain asked for one of your eyes to give to your sister Cersei, and you have held a grudge against the Demon Mountain since then to kill the Magic Mountain?"

"I just miss the magic mountain gouging out my eyes, I don't want the magic mountain to die, on the contrary, I appreciate the magic mountain. He has been reborn as a true powerhouse. I did do my part in hiring the Faceless, but the truth is that Bran wanted him dead. The Green Prophet's ability to deceive people, I can only be convinced. ”

Arya slowly drew her narrow sword, "Little devil, when I was eleven years old, Jon showed me how to use a sword to stab people with a sharp end. As she spoke, Arya's 'Lady of Silence' pointed at the little devil's ugly face.

The little devil was startled, his face changed, and the little short leg took a big step back, but the tip of the sword was still at his throat. Arya followed him like a shadow.

"Arya, I really don't know where Bran went?"

"You live with them and don't know where Bran went?"

"I had an extra drink last night, and when I woke up, it was already dawn, and I was left with Ilyin Pine and I in the towers of this courtyard. Now it seems that Bran must have known that you were coming, and he and Jaime all left early in the morning with the rest of the group. ”

"Jaime didn't wake you up and take you away?"

He may have shouted, or maybe there was something wrong with the glass of wine, and it was deliberately arranged by Bran. ”

"Well, I'll believe what you say for now, then, do you estimate, where can Bran go?"

"Two places, one is the Iron Vault and the other is the Sea King's Palace. ”

"I want you to go with me. ”

"No problem, but can I have a drink before I go?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Then you can kill me. The little devil shrugged his shoulders, he knew that he couldn't escape Arya's poison anyway, assuming that Arya really wanted to kill him.

The little devil staggered around and went upstairs, putting life and death aside: "Arya, what will you do if Bran insists on killing the Demon Mountain?"

Arya didn't know what to do, she hadn't figured it out yet.

But she had already figured out how to cancel the assassination warrant in the Black and White House.

"Arya, Bran and I had a conversation before, and I think you might be able to listen to it. ”

Arya's Lady of Silence inserted the scabbard back, and at that moment, the little devil's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed that his back was already wet with cold sweat.

He was not as calm and not afraid of death as he appeared.

The little devil's words sparked Arya's interest, there was no doubt about that.

"Little devil, what did Bran tell you?"

"He told me that if the situation was critical in the future, he hoped that I could do him a favor. ”

"What's the busy?"

"Help him end his life. ”

"Bran wants you to kill him?"

That's about what it means. The little devil stopped, "Bran has two sand snakes and two skinners by his side, each of them is a good killer without blinking, but he actually asked me to help him end his life. Did he trust me, or did he play tricks on me? He made it clear he didn't believe me, but why didn't he let Bolton or the Sand Snake kill him at the last minute?"

"Maybe in his heart, you are the one who deserves his respect, but the skinners and sand snakes are not. ”

The little devil smiled, "Alright, Arya, I'll take your words as a compliment to me. ”

"Bran Stark may have foreseen his death?" said Arya, but her heart ached. No matter how Bran changes, he is a Stark, her own brother. Bran said that he asked the little devil to help him end his life at the last moment, so did he expect that he would be defeated, and if so, why did he insist on it?

Do it knowing you can't do it?

The Blood Raven represents the will of House Targaryen?!

Arya felt a little gloomy in her heart, the magic mountain has a great favor to the Stark family, even if the children of the Stark family sacrifice their lives, they will not be able to repay this favor. Bran is a Stark, why does he have to kill the Mountain, unless he's not a Stark anymore.

Suddenly, Arya sensed the evil of the Green Prophet. Blood Raven Brynden Rivers invaded Bran Stark's body for the sake of his own life, and this is evil itself. The only way to save Bran is to force the blood crow out of Bran's body.

In fact, there is no way to force the blood crow out, the best way is that Bran chooses to commit suicide, and the blood crow has to come out of Bran's body, otherwise he will be with Bran, of course, there is another way, which is to help the blood crow find another person with a shape-shifting talent, such as the six-shaped man Valamir, or someone who is very capable but not very calm in mind to let the blood crow possess him, so as to let Bran Stark go.

Either way, Arya had to find Bran first.

And whether Bran is in the Aquaman's Hall or the Iron Vault, it won't be difficult for Arya to find him.

In the black and white courtyard, the Great Elder meditated in his hut.

The Seven Great Elders all meditated in their huts.

After the dragon crystal candle illuminated the Thousand Gods Temple, the seven elders all felt the faint flow of magical power. In their hearts, it was as if a seed had broken through their shells with a soft thud.

Meditation helps the elders to feel the new life of that glimmer of magical power in silence.

The Faceless of the Black and White Courtyard has the ability to change the shape of their faces and bodies, and the power of incantation dominates.

The Dragon Crystal Candle does not directly bring magical power, but it is a sensitive catalytic relic of magical power, just as the dragon flying and fighting in the sky brings about the awakening of the world's magical power.

It was an opportunity and a seed, and it was also a sacred object that the God of Thousand Faces loved.

The Great Elder gradually immersed himself in his own spiritual world.

He was so engrossed in the sounds, colors, light, and light of the outside world that they all left him, disappeared, and became nothingness.

The Great Elder meditated, and he felt the gradual changes in his body, the deformation and stretching of his bones and muscles, and there was nothing but the sound of blood flowing and heartbeat in his body. This was an aspect that the Great Elder had never experienced before. He seemed to be detached from his own body, floating in the air and watching his own body change at will...... The pleasure of this change is intoxicating......

"Hi, Grand Elder. An old, slightly sharp voice suddenly sounded.

The Great Elder was taken aback, his blood, breath, thoughts, his own shadow in the sky, and his true body on the wooden collapse were all seriously disturbed...... The shadow of the Great Elder in the sky dissipated into nothing like a soap bubble, and the flowing blood seemed to hit a rock and was forced to whirl, making the Great Elder's throat sweet, and a mouthful of hot blood was in his mouth...... And the musculoskeletal muscles that are changing at will are like being hit by a heavy object, misaligned and stiff, causing a stinging pain in the body twisting......

The Great Elder opened his eyes, and above his head, high above him, in a small, airy window, stood a crow with three eyes. The crow tilted its head, and the eye bone in the middle of the head turned slightly, glowing a faint red.

"It's you, Bran. The Great Elder said, blood flowing from his mouth. He had a mouthful of hot blood gushing up in his mouth, and it was impossible to swallow it back at once, the qi and blood were surging all over his body, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the blood flowed out.

"Great Elder, I will not revoke the employment, the Black and White Courtyard will be nailed to the pillar of eternal shame for a small dragon crystal candle. What name is exported, death comes, what mortal has a death, everyone must be worshipped, everything will become the laughing stock of the world. Great Elder, when you die, do you think you will be able to go to the Temple of a Thousand Faces? You have blasphemed the oracles and teachings, and you have only one place to go, and that is Hell. ”

The Great Elder was originally a wise man, but while his body was harmed, he himself could not deny the accusations of the Three-Eyed Crow.

The Black and White House accepted the hire, and the Three-Eyed Raven paid the price, and as long as the employer did not withdraw the employment, the employer was right to say anything in the matter of employment.

"Great Elder, do you think that a little Arya can solve this matter, and why do you really think that letter from the Magic Mountain is the best way?" The voice of the three-eyed crow was like that of an old man who had been precipitated by years of wind and sand. His voice distinguishes it from the crispness of bird language.

The Great Elder wiped the hot blood from the corner of his mouth, and the hot blood stained a large chunk of his chest red on his monk's robe.

"Prophet, may I know what to do?" said the Great Elder with a reluctant smile. The Great Elder was humble and maintained his demeanor. Although the Three-Eyed Raven deliberately stimulated him with a sound at the most critical time of his meditation, causing serious damage to his body and mind.

"Why is the great elder of the Black and White Courtyard so humble to a crow?"

"The Prophet laughed, you are a demigod, and I am just a small mortal. ”

With a snort, the three-eyed crow flew into the room and landed at the head of the Great Elder's bed. The crow's three eyes were glowing with a faint red light, and his pupils seemed to be bloodshot.

"Great Elder, are you really determined to withdraw your pursuit of the Demon Mountain?"

"If the Prophet is willing to consult with us, the House of Black and White can compensate the Prophet in other ways. ”

"Compensation?" an old man's voice was eerie and mysterious with the tactfulness of bird's language, "Well, if you have to give up, I really can't force you to do it again...... Would you like to accept what you call compensation, but at the same time I need to add something?"

"Tell me about it. The Great Elder kept adjusting his breathing, and he found that his body was out of order and twisted, as if a lot of flesh and blood were knotted together.

"If you let one go, you will die, this is the balance rule of the Red God, are you willing to sacrifice your life because I promised to spare the Demon Mountain?"

"There is no doubt about it. The Great Elder said.

"I want you to end your life now. ”

"If the Prophet swore in the name of death, I would like to end my life now. The Great Elder smiled. When it comes to death, the elders are not afraid, and in their eyes, death is the service of the god of death and the god of a thousand faces.

Everyone must serve!

"Bran swears in the name of death to revoke the assassination commission on the Magic Mountain in exchange for compensation from the Black and White Courtyard and the life of the Great Elder. The Three-Eyed Raven said.

"Okay, as you wish. The Great Elder slowly descended from the wooden collapse, picked out one of the countless small bottles in the medicine cabinet, unscrewed it, and drank the pale green liquid inside, "Please allow me to lie down on the wooden collapse." These were the last words of the Great Elder left in this world.
