Chapter 0347: The Faceless Cellar Library
Night, King's Tower.
"Lord Will, Samwell Tully asks to see you. The black girl said at the door.
"Let him in. ”
"Yes, my lord!" up and down the King's Tower, a total of eight guards from the Ash Tribe protected Will.
Samwell came in, looking humble and his eyes flustered.
Will could see his nervousness.
Will laughed, "Is that you?"
"It's me!" Samwell smiled, and his whole person suddenly became calm, quiet and confident.
"When did you come to the Great Wall?"
"After you've done what you've done. Samwell said.
"Thank you for your help in King's Landing. ”
"Needless to say, these false polite words, in King's Landing, without your help, I would have been beheaded. Now, we're clear. ”
"Yes, Liangqing. ”
"So, what about what you promised me?"
"Not with me. ”
Samwell's face sank, "Lord Will, it's time for you to make good on your promise." ”
"Yes, I didn't say I wouldn't keep my promise. ”
"So, let's get things out. ”
"The Black and White Order is not with me. ”
"Where?"
"In my new disciple, but I'm sure she'll soon have mastered the art of transfiguration. ”
"Where's your new disciple?"
"In the West. ”
"Who?"
"Let's not tell you yet, in case you go to her, she's not your match yet. ”
"I won't kill her, we're all the people of the God of a Thousand Faces. ”
"Indeed, then, the black and white order I promised to give you will definitely be given to you. Will you believe me?"
Samwell was silent.
"You have arrived at the Great Wall, I know the purpose of your coming, the first is the black and white order, the second is the strange ghost, tomorrow I will organize an expeditionary force to explore the reality of the strange ghost, do you want to go with me to witness the strange ghost with your own eyes, or not?"
"Go. Samwell said.
Will smiled.
Will calculated that he would definitely go, and the purpose of the Faceless One's visit to the Great Wall was to verify the authenticity of the strangers. It's just that since he no longer appears as Jaqun Hegar, Will doesn't know his current name.
A name, a face, after doing things in one place, after making a deal of life and death, the Faceless One will no longer use it. When they appear, they will have a new name and a new face, and until that face has done something murderous again and is known to anyone else, they will have another name and a new face. If you have used it before, you will never use it a second time.
"I will give it to you in black and white, for I have insight into its secrets. Now, can I know your current name and identity?"
"Maester Aemon's squire, Blake River, Samwell's comrade. The Faceless One said. He shook his head, and Sam's thick curls turned into short, straight black hair, and he reached out and slowly wiped it down on his face, and Sam's chubby face became a well-defined young man's face.
"Blake River, like me, is from the Riverlands. ”
"Yes, Lord Will. Blake Rivers said calmly.
He had become the quiet, unsmiling, honest squire of the Bachelor again.
"Who?" said Abel's voice beneath the King's Tower.
"Sam Weir!" Sam Weir's voice was nervous.
"Sam Weir!" both Will and Blake heard the sound of the sword unsheathed.
There's just a Sam Weir, and now there's another Sam Weir.
"Black girl. Will shouted.
"Yes, sir. ”
"Let Sam Weir in. ”
"Yes, sir. The black girl's voice hesitated slightly.
Below, the sound of a sword in its sheath sounded.
"You're the one who doesn't need guards the least, so why do you need so many guards guarding your King's Tower. ”
"Let those who have thoughts about me retreat, and don't come to die. Will laughed.
"The blind man lights the lamp so that others don't run into him!"
"Yes. Will smiled.
Sam Weir came in and saw Blake Gawain standing aside, his expression surprised. However, he quickly controlled his emotions, and came to Will a little nervously, standing in front of the table: "Lord Will, my letter to you ......"
"The letter has been read, let's go!" Will stood up.
"Let's go, where are we going?"
"your treasure!"
"My treasure?!"
Samwell didn't understand.
"The treasure is yours, Maester Amon's side, I will send others to serve him, and you can dig up the secrets in the cellar in peace. ”
"Really?!" Sam was surprised and delighted.
"Really!"
"But I'm afraid Maester Aemon doesn't have a good attendant. ”
"Yes, I'm afraid of that too, so in the meantime you'll have to bring out two new squires and teach them how to be Maester Amon's assistants. ”
"My lord, Blake Gawain is up to the task, he can write and read, and although he doesn't know many words, he has no problem writing and reading letters. ”
"You're in charge of the treasure, and Blake is in charge of the ravens. ”
"No, my lord, the ravens are in the Bachelor's Tower, and one of the things we do for Maester Aemon is to take care of the ravens. ”
"He's in charge of the ravens of the expeditionary force. Will said.
"Expeditionary Force?" Samwell's eyes widened.
"Yes, expeditionary force, we will set off tomorrow morning, and Blake will set off with us two cages of ravens. Otherwise, you can go. ”
"I?no, no, no!" Sam shook his hands desperately, "I can't, my lord, really, please let me stay and take care of Maester Amon, and the treasures deep underground." - The other two new squires that Maester Aemon needs, I will train them, my lord, I promise. ”
"Oh, well, that's it. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Then let's go, take me to see the treasures underground, or I won't have time tomorrow. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Blake, come along. ”
"Yes, sir. ”

The cold air was filled with the smell of old ash and rotting paper.
Will stood in the depths of the Great Wall, staring incredulously at the tall wooden bookshelves in front of him, the tops of which were submerged into darkness by the light of the huge red candle in his hand and the two torches of Sam and Blake.
"Sam, give me that book of the sons of the forest. ”
"Yes, sir. I've already put away the books you need. ”
"Oh, how do you know what book I want most?"
"I don't know, I guess. Samwell said. When the breath is exhaled, a white frost gas is formed.
This cellar is as cold as an ice cave.
You can't see the shelves at the top of the shelves, which are piled high with leather-bound books, and boxes and boxes of old scrolls. There was old paper everywhere, and Sam and Blake blew out their torches to avoid starting a fire, Will blew out the red candles, and Sam lit a small oil lamp with a glass cover.
