Night.

Outside a stone castle, two figures appeared.

The stone fort is blue-black and has no doors or windows.

There are no other buildings around, just woods.

A lonely castle in the middle of the woods.

Famous in Quelceh and feared throughout the East, this castle is the headquarters of the Regret Guest.

On the continent of Essos, on the westernmost coastline of the hungry coast, there is the famous Black and White Courtyard of the Faceless. And in the east, there is a Scorpion Tail Fort of Regretful Guests.

On the outer walls of this castle, the motif of a manticored is depicted.

On the ground, on the trees of the woods, there are reliefs and images of manticores.

In this small world, the manticores are like a mysterious totem.

"Who?" a voice came from the stone castle.

"Hadji Moore. A dark shadow said.

"Boli. Another dark shadow said.

"Master Boli?" the voice inside carried a kind of unexpected surprise.

"Yes!"

"Wisdom is in truth, please wait, Master. "The voices in the castle became respectful.

"Wisdom and truth!" Master Boli's voice was peaceful and kind.

Hadji Moore was the head of the Thirteen, but he didn't get the respect of the voice in the stone castle.

On the ground, a relief figure is flipped upwards to reveal a hole in the ground. A staircase leads to the ground.

The way to enter Scorpion Tail Fort is from underground. On the walls of Scorpion Tail Fort, there are no doors.

"Master, please. The voice in the stone castle was respectful.

Master Boli is also not polite, and should go down from the staircase first. Hadji Moore entered after the Master.

After the two entered the tunnel, the relief floor was reset and integrated with the relief floor on the ground, and there was no flaw visible to the naked eye.

It was pitch black in the cavern, and only small candles were lit on the walls. The flame of the candle was as bright as a small spark, and it could not dissolve the darkness in front of him.

Hadji Moore loses his sense of direction when he enters the tunnel. Although there was a small Martian guide not far away, he couldn't see it clearly.

Fortunately, Master Boli led the way.

Master Boli walked towards the spark, and it seemed that he was comfortable with the darkness.

Even if Haji Mohr followed behind Master Boli, he was not walking steadily.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything when I could see it. Only the guidance of a small glimmer of light in front of us.

The two of them came to the half-cut candle smaller than the little finger, and the faint light from the candle only illuminated the low flying about half a meter around them. Then, Hadji Moore noticed another small light like a broad bean in front of him.

It was a small flame surrounded by darkness.

Hadji Moore first came to Fort Scorpiontail, and he felt like he was choking.

The only thing to be lucky for was that he didn't run into the dreaded manticore.

A scorpion-tailed stabbing could kill Hadji Moore.

Haji refused to come to Scorpion Tail Fort, but Master Boli asked him to come.

Master Boli opened his mouth, and Haji Moore could not refuse.

The Master continued to walk ahead, and Haji hurriedly followed. There was already cold sweat in his palms, and small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose.

The darkness suffocated Haji with the breath of oppression and death. Even in the Immortal Temple, Haji had never felt so bad.

After turning the light of I don't know how many one-star broad beans, faintly, Haji felt like he followed the guidance of the firelight and walked in a circle. He judged that the two were back to square one. However, in front, a voice sounded respectfully: "Scorpion Tail Fort welcomes the arrival of Master Boli. ”

"Excuse me. Master Boli said lightly.

With the sound of the door opening, the eyes suddenly brightened, as if from the deepest part of the night to the day.

Haji's eyes closed for a moment, and then opened them again, still a little uncomfortable with the daylight of day. But Master Boli was not affected in the slightest, and he walked into that light.

Lord Hadji Moore hurried to follow, and then the sound of the door closing behind him was heard. In the front, three old men were clasping their palms together with Master Boli, saying the motto of the Immortal Temple, 'Wisdom and Truth'. Then there are very humble words that are very kind to each other.

The three old men were all wearing robes with scorpion-tailed patterns, their long hair was draped over their shoulders, and their chins were cleanly shaved. Haji had never seen these three old men, and they were probably the most powerful elders in Scorpion Tail Castle.

The three elders and Master Boli said something, and when Haga caught up, and their words had already been finished, an old man made a gesture and asked Master Boli to go ahead, and it looked like the group of four of them was going somewhere.

Haga hurriedly took two steps, and a young man stood up from the side, blocking his way: "Lord Haji, please follow me." ”

"I'm here with Master Boli, and we have things in common. ”

"Please follow me. The young man's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was neither light nor heavy.

"Master Boli!" Haji shouted.

However, the four people in front of them did not look back, and Master Boli didn't seem to hear Haji's voice at all, and the four of them walked towards a gate unhappily or slowly. Haji watched as the four of them pushed open the door and entered a very dark room.

The door closed, echoing through the bright hall.

"Please come with me, Lord Haji, and serve tea here. ”

Haji looked at the young man in front of him, he knew that this unsmiling young man was a terrible assassin as soon as he came out of Scorpion Tail Castle. Inside his clothes, there may be several manticores lurking.

Haji gave the boy a flattering smile and followed him into a small splendid room. The room was lit with spices, the floor was covered with thick carpets, the walls were covered with splendid reliefs, and the ceiling was delicately painted.

From the coffee table to the stool, it is extremely beautiful and decorative.

Haji sat down, and after a while, fragrant tea was served. The young man made a gesture of please, exited the room, and closed the door gently.

On the other side, in the dim light of a candle like a broad bean, Master Boli and the three old men faced each other.

"Three Elders, I was in the Temple of Immortality, and I saw that the assassination attempt by the Regret Guest in Pantos had completely failed. The three regretful guests you sent have all been captured, and one of them has been beheaded by the Demon Mountain. The other two were imprisoned by Queen Jane in the underground dungeon of the Prince's Palace. ”

The three elders glanced at each other and exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.

"Master Boli, how many people have our disciples assassinated in the Demon Mountain?"

"Not a single one. ”

"That's impossible. The three elders spoke in unison.

"Not a single one, I saw the facts. The prophecy of the immortal witch god has appeared in detail before my eyes. ”

The three elders looked at each other, a hint of unease in their eyes.

"Three disciples, they all have manticores. One of the elders muttered, as if talking to himself.

"We all underestimated the Magic Mountain, and the people around him are not ordinary people. A ventriloquist intelligence minister and an alien close to the Prophet, they joined forces to capture the three unfortunate guests. Bernie, who has unparalleled ventriloquist skills, is actually a talent that is unparalleled in the world. The sound of the manticores sneaking into his room, he could hear clearly. He knew before the manticores attacked, and with the dagger drawn, he killed the first manticore. ”

Of the three elders, the tall, fat elder on the far right stood up and walked around the room.

There was anyone in the world who could hear the manticore's crawling sound, and he couldn't believe it. Manticores that want to stab people are cautious and stealth, and do not make noises that would attract attention.

"Are there aliens in Pantos?" said a thin elder.

"Yes, I also saw the scene of him arresting the disciple of the regretful guest, and I knew that he was close to the realm of the prophet. ”

The leader of the elder said slowly: "Our camouflage technique is also excellent, and if the disciples are caught, they will not admit that they are killers and regrets at all. How did the other party find out who they were?"

"The queen of the Demon Mountain is a very powerful blood witch. Lady Melisandre is the High Priestess of the Red God. The magic power of fire is far superior to ours, and the study of poison is no worse than us. In addition, they have a blood wizard. ”

"Blood Witch?"

"Yes, Blood Witch. Maybe she's already the most powerful blood witch in the world. Blood witches can identify anyone's true face through blood. At this point, none of us can do it. ”

The leader was speechless.

The skinny elder froze.

The tall elder who walked around stopped.

"We can't succeed in Pantos, but in Quells, it's our world, and even if the Magic Mountain takes the city, he will not be able to defend against our assassination. ”

"If there is a war, the regrets will be completely eradicated. Master Boli said slowly.

The three elders immediately looked at Master Boli with fierce eyes.

The Immortal Wizard smiled slightly, a wicked smile, blue teeth and lips that made him look like a beast.

"In the East, in Quells, I'm afraid no one can eradicate the regrets. ”

"The Faceless One. Master Boli said slowly.

"The Faceless One also rests and destroys us. ”

"The Faceless plus the Blood Witch, the Alien, the High Priest of the Red God, the Dragon. In Dragonyan, Scorpion Tail Castle will turn into a pile of black fluid. Master Boli said lightly, "Not only is it a pity guest, but my Immortal Temple will also be lost." ”

The faces of the three elders changed slightly.

Master Boli said that his immortal temple would also be destroyed, that is, it would be burned by the dragon. The prophecy of the Immortal Temple comes from the dead man of the Immortal Temple, the living skeleton man, which is a statue of a witch god that cannot be moved.

Other people's beliefs are figurines or portraits, or concrete objects like heart trees.

The Red God enshrined in the Temple of the Red Gods, which worships the Red God, is a statue, the Seven Gods that the believers worship in the Seven Gods of Westeros are the Seven Statues, and the only Witch God of the Temple of Immortality is a skeleton with a heart gouged out, a living dead.

Long Yan burned down the Temple of Immortality, and the witch gods worshipped by the male witches will also be burned to ashes.

In the silence of the three elders, Master Boli slowly turned around and walked towards the door, he would leave.

"Master Boli. The leader of the elder said, "The witch god saw the prophecy, but didn't give a way to deal with it?"

"Nope!"

The three elders were all slightly shocked.

Master Boli walked to the door and opened it, he didn't look back: "The witch god has not been able to give a way to deal with it in the future, but I have thought of a way, maybe I can try." ”

"What's the solution?" the three elders said in unison.

Master Boli stood still, and then slowly closed the open door.

That's why he came to Scorpion Tail Castle: to move Regret to stand on his side, he needs the support of Regret's strength, otherwise, he himself is in danger. If there is a conflict between the power of the male witch and the power of the regretful guest, although the male witch power is not afraid, and will even have the upper hand of the first strike, the risk is too great and it is not necessary. Getting the support of regretful customers is the best choice, not the other way around.

Three days later, in the guild hall of the Thirteen Giants.

It is an oval-shaped hall.

A long circular table can seat dozens of people.

The ceilings, floors, long tables, chairs, curtains, carpets, reliefs and tapestries are goose yellow.

Yellow is the color of gold.

Goose yellow has the color of gold and also has a warm vision.

This is the color that the Thirteen Giants like.

The Thirteen Giants, the Tourmaline Brotherhood, the Ancient Spice Guild, the Elder of the Regretful Guest, and His Majesty the King were all here.

In front of every big man, there are all kinds of fruit plates, snacks, breads, bacon, honey, spices from the Eastern and Western worlds......

Beside them, there was also a beautiful maid dedicated to them.

In the Thirteen Giants Chamber of Commerce, there is no shortage of stunning girls from all over the world.

These girls are professionally trained to speak Quells' native language as well as the lingua franca. Generally speaking, each maid can speak more than four languages, and those who are gifted can speak dozens of local languages.

A wide variety of liquors are placed in front of different bigwigs, these wines are sour, dessert, wine, beer...... Fit the taste of every big man......

But at the behest of His Majesty, no one drank alcohol or ate.

They were waiting for the most important great man who would bring them a prophecy of victory, and that person was the Bodhisattva Master of the Immortal Temple. A demigod who knows the past, present, and future. A character similar to the Green Prophet on the continent of Westeros.

Standing at the gate outside and waiting to receive Master Boli was Lord Haji Moor, the head of the Thirteen Giants.

With the sound of the maids outside, His Majesty the King was the first to stand up, and all the adults followed suit.

Footsteps came from outside the hall, and then a smiling Lord Haji appeared, leading the way, flanked by the tall, thin, awl-eyed Master Boli, dressed in a silk brocade robe, with blue lips and face.

"Wisdom and truth!" said His Majesty the King, pressing his right palm to the heart of his left chest.

"Wisdom and truth!" said in unison.

"Wisdom and truth!" repeated Master Boli.

The crowd repeated the phrase 'wisdom and truth,' and sat down.

Master Boli did not sit down, he looked at Haji Moore, who took out a short-handled scimitar from his bosom, held it in both hands, and presented it to Master Boli.

This is a very famous short-handled knife in the Oriental world, sharpened like clay, extremely sharp, and has a name: light and shadow.

Master Boli took the light and shadow, glanced at the crowd, and said lightly: "In the name of truth and wisdom, you will all die. As the words fell, a Boli master appeared behind every big man, with a handful of light and shadow in his hand, and the light and shadow rested on the throat of the king and these big people.
