On the west bank of the Meajiu River, surrounded by tall boulder walls, the famous school town is a dense cluster of buildings.

The core of the school city, the Star Church, is located in the very center of the school city.

Inside the school city, there are many bachelor towers, towering and towering.

Among them, there are several towers of the Bachelor on the islands in the Meadow River.

The mouth of the Meadow River is wide and boundless, and there are many islands in it. On each island, there is either a hotel or a women's hospital, and the rest belongs to the school city. On one of the islands that belongs to the school city, the only thing that the scholars and apprentices do here is to train the talking white raven: the white crow.

The world is as black as a crow, but in the school city, there are pure white crows that are smart and fierce, and can speak human words.

When the dragon appeared in the sky above the school city, the bustling school city square was suddenly silent.

Bachelors of robes, assistants, apprentices, merchants, commoners who came to ask for names, captains and wealthy merchants from all over the world who came here to visit and study, travelers of all stripes...... All look up at the sky, everyone is like a wood plastic stone carving.

The mountain rode on the dragon, and Arya did not appear at the same time as him.

Arya rode overland with Count Leighton Hightower and entered through the gates of the school.

Over the years, the Hightower family has dedicated themselves to the construction and maintenance of the school city. The initial construction of the school city also began with the full support of the Hightower family. Historically, the important patrons and patrons of the school and the Scholars have been the Hightower family.

The Earl of Layton was extremely influential in the school. Even if he doesn't go to the school city for decades, his influence will not be weakened in the slightest.

A large part of the Hightower family's human and material resources are spent on the school city. It is as if the school is the private property of the Hightower family, but in fact the administration and finances of the school are completely independent. The school city holds the supreme power over the arrangement, appointment, promotion, and demotion of bachelors throughout the country. It is also the only exclusive power.

The Magic Mountain in the sky saw the huge boulder sculptures on both sides of the school gate: the green Sphinx statue. The Sphinx is a monster with a sphinbody, eagle wings, a snake tail, and a human face. The face on the left is a male face, and the face on the right is a woman.

The dragon didn't make a dragon groan, and the Magic Mountain knew that there were two towers in the school city that were dedicated to breeding ravens that transmitted messages from the Seven Kingdoms, one was a black raven, and the other was a white raven that could speak human language. The dragon's low-altitude howl will scare the ravens into fleeing. It will also impact the maintenance and training of the little raven.

Magic Mountain is a detail-oriented person, and he didn't come to disgust the school city.

The dragon's outstretched wings blocked the light from the sky, casting a huge shadow on the school.

All the tower windows, stone arch bridge decks, and the ground of the Starry Church, the center of the school city, are full of people, densely packed like ants, and the bachelors, who are rarely seen in ordinary times, seem to emerge from the ground.

The school city is a city within a single city, and the whole city is silent.

The dragon's oppressive momentum was overwhelming and unstoppable.

All of them are seeing a real dragon for the first time. The dragon's golden-red scales emitted a faint glow, like a dark flame about to burn violently.

The dragon shocked everyone's heart.

It was a great moment, and there were people who trembled with excitement at the sight of a real dragon.

The dragon that once appeared only in the lyrics of wandering singers, in mythological stories, and in reliefs did appear, with dazzling scales, terrifying dragon heads, huge wings that seemed to be infinite, long dragon tails and streamlined necks, terrifying dragon claws—everything was so real and shocking.

All felt the overwhelming breath of death and the helplessness of the individual.

In front of such a huge dragon, a person's manpower, such as a bow and a sword, is very humble and ridiculous.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves crushed the suffocating silence.

The Earl of Layton arrived with the best cavalry of the Old Town. And in the Mead River, there were also ten warships and more than a dozen patrol longboats, and the uniform drum beat controlled the naval officers to approach the bank of the school city and the island dock in the river at a uniform speed, and it only took a short time for the navy to control all the waterways of the school city.

The officers and men of the navy were well aware of the water conditions of the port of the old town and the waterway island wharf at the mouth of the Mejiu River, and with an order, all the waterways would be blocked in a very short time.

A hunting banner of the Hightower family was waving in the wind, and when they saw this banner, the stewards of the school city knew that it was the nobles of the Hightower family. This situation baffled the stewards of the school, but they all knew that for thousands of years, the Hightowers were the least necessary nobles for their defense. Without the full support of the Hightower family, there would be absolutely no splendor and scale of the school city today.

The gates of the school city were opened, and the soldiers in charge of the school city garrison were also soldiers of the Hightower family. They serve the school city and are paid by the Hattar family.

The sight of Earl Layton's personal trip amazed the soldiers of the garrison city, the earl was obsessed with witchcraft research and never came down the tower for more than ten years, but they were also quickly relieved, and the dragon gliding slowly in the sky was the real reason. The person who can harness this dragon in the Seven Kingdoms is unique, and that is the new king of the Seven Kingdoms, Lord Gregor Clegane, known as the Magic Mountain.

The scholars and stewards at all levels in the school city appeared from all over the place.

His Majesty suddenly flew into the school city with a dragon, and the lord of Old Town, Lord Earl Layton, also led the cavalry, and the atmosphere and momentum were unsettling.

What happened to make the king and the count personally lead their troops?!

It was enough for the king and the count to bring their attendants, there was no reason to lead a cavalry army.

What is going to happen in the school city? Every scholar in charge of the basement of the Governor's Pavilion felt something unusual.

The scholars of the Governor's Pavilion each had a key to open the basement, and in the basement, some time ago, the dragon crystal candle, which was regarded as a magical relic, suddenly spontaneously combusted.

This heralds the official revival and dawn of the Age of Magic. In the school city, on the surface, all the scholars despised the occult, but in private, most of them were tacitly studying and experimenting with the occult.

Is the sudden arrival of the dragon and the arrival of the lord's troops related to the dragon crystal candle in the basement of the Governor's Pavilion?

The Earl of Layton has never been out of the tower for more than ten years, obsessed with the study of the occult, and his failure to come out does not mean that the scholars of the school city do not know him. Before the repairs in the school city and the construction of the new tower, the stewards of the Governor's Pavilion would go to the towering tower to meet Lord Earl Layton.

Every year, the scholars of the school city go to the Tower of Heaven to celebrate with the Earl on the New Year's holiday.

It can be said that all the scholars in the school town knew Earl Layton.

The Earl of Leighton led his army straight into the gates of the school, and the knight of Elvis led a team of 100 people to stay behind to guard the exit of the gate. Several other groups of cavalry made a detour along the walls of the city, holding several other small exits.

There are still exits to the school city, so only the sewers in the city are left.

The horror of the assassin is in the darkness, just as the horror of the night lies in its darkness. Once precautions are in place, the Faceless will be restrained.

Arya Stark and Earl Leighton lead an army into the city.

This is the first large army to enter the school city in large batches so far.

Arya came to this great place for the first time.

The grandeur of the school city made her awe-inspired.

In addition to the towering dense towers, the buildings also have stone arch bridges that wind between the towers and the towers. On the top of the stone arch bridge, a passage is left in the middle, and on both sides of the passage, a small box-like square hut is built, which is neat and symmetrical. And on the surface of the towers and stone houses, many places, are crawling with dense verdant vines.

The first building in front has a huge plaque with a name: Clerical Desk.

The clerical desk is where the assistant bachelors in the school city provide writing services to the public. The inhabitants of Old Town, including merchants from afar across the Narrow Sea or illiterate mercenary sailors, came here in search of the assistant and asked for help. The assistant bachelor can cut papers, read letters and deeds, write and send letters for them.

Most of the people in Old Town have their wills written here by an assistant bachelor. The clerks sit in front of the open booths and wait for any of the customers to come. Arya noticed that there were also long rows of stalls filled with books, and other stalls selling all sorts of maps.

The Earl of Leighton left a team of 100 men to guard the desk, and continued to lead the men forward.

They soon came to the Governor's Pavilion.

The Steward's Pavilion is a cluster of several towers.

If the Faceless One wanted to enter the basement and steal the Dragon Crystal Candle, they would need to enter through the Steward's Pavilion.

Earl Leighton and Arya jumped off their horses, and outside the gate of the Governor's Pavilion, all the University Scholars were already waiting.

"What has happened, Lord Count. Chief Muan whispered. He and Earl Layton were very familiar, and the two were close friends in private. Chief Muan always secretly took the rare occult books in the Starry Sanctuary out of the Starry Sanctuary and privately lent them to the Earl to read, study, and copy.

The Earl glanced up at the sky, and on the sky, the dragon glided with its wings outstretched, and from below, it seemed that the entire school city was covered by the dragon's wings.

The Earl whispered, "His Majesty has brought reliable news that the Faceless have entered the school city, and they have come to steal the dragon crystal candles. ”

The superintendent, Mr. Muan, was stunned. The dragon crystal candle in the school city is burning, and this news is firmly blocked.

"Why, you haven't received any news yet?" asked the Earl, alert.

"What's the news?"

"Maester Morton had already released Raven to Swograve, reminding him that the Faceless One was approaching his apprentice Pate in order to obtain the key in his possession. ”

"University Swograve? He's been speechless for a long time. ”

"Where's his apprentice, Pate?"

"Pate, I don't know. ”

"Maester Muan, please take us to the University of Svergrave at once. It's likely that Pate is now a Faceless. The Faceless One is here for the Dragon Crystal Candle. ”

"No, the dragon crystal candle is in the basement of the Steward's Pavilion. Let's go first to see if the dragon crystal candle is safe. Earl Layton said.

"My lord, the Dragon Crystal Candle has been transferred to the basement below the library of the Star Sanctuary. ”

"When?"

"It's been a few days, seven days ago. ”

"What about the key to open the door?"

"Each of the elders of the Governor's Pavilion has one. ”

"Will Pate get a chance to get the key?"

"Yes, he can. He was the only apprentice to serve at the University of Swograve. He was responsible for the diet and daily life of the bachelor Vograve, who was already inconvenient to move and speak. It would have been too easy for him to steal the key to Maester Vograve. ”

"Lord Count, we need to go to the Church of the Stars immediately. Arya said urgently.

"Governor Muan, I need your help, we need to go to the Sanctuary of the Stars immediately. Earl Layton said.

"Good. ”

Immediately, a knight led the warhorse, and the chief of Muan mounted his horse, and together with Earl Layton and Arya, he ran towards the Starry Sanctuary in the heart of the city.

The sound of horses' hooves exploded the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the school city.

Arya raised her hand at the Magic Mountain in the sky. When the mountain saw it, the dragon descended, and its huge body seemed to crash into the spire of the tower, which was as tall as a spear.

Arya shouted, "Your Majesty, it may be that the Faceless One has already succeeded. ”

"Got it. The Magic Mountain replied in a deep voice. His voice was loud, and the bachelors, apprentices, assistants, and assistants on the ground were all frightened.

The cavalry galloped through the streets of the city towards the Starry Sanctuary in the center of the city. In the sky, the Demon Mountain Dragon also followed them.

The most prosperous and huge city in Westeros is the Old Town, the school town of the Old Town, which is a huge city within a city.

Suddenly, a loud thunderous voice fell from the sky and resounded throughout the city: "Someone from Braavos' Black and White Courtyard, I am the Magic Mountain. I've captured Rosie and Emma in the Quill Decanter, and if you choose to stop, I'll let Rosie and Emma go. ”

Inside the Starry Sanctuary, Pate, who was walking under the dome of the library, stopped, looking up at the sky. All he could see was the ceiling, which was covered with reliefs of strange beasts and gods that he had never seen before.

Any action of the Faceless One is top secret. No one knew their plan of action, and no one could see through their outposts everywhere. The dragon crystal candle in the school city is bound to be obtained, but it must be kept secret and cannot see the light. If the secret is known, then the Black and White House in Braavos will be in endless trouble.

As the top Assassin Order, they never kill innocents.

They are not mercenaries, nor bandits, they have their own beliefs, and they will not draw their narrow swords and kill the scholars who come to the Black and White Academy to reason.

With the key in his hand, Pate only had to go down two more spiral stairs to the door to the library's basement.

But their actions and secrets were openly shouted out by the Demon Mountain in the sky.

It was a defeat that had brought the House of Black and White to its total glory, and never before had the Faceless suffered such a humiliating defeat in the history of history.

If the secret is known to the Academy, if he brings back the Dragon Crystal Candle, the eloquent Academy will inevitably send a bachelor to the Black and White Academy in Braavos every year to find their elders to return the Dragon Crystal Candle.

That's the trouble!

Pate's face turned pale blue, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart with a narrow sword.

He couldn't believe that such a secret action would be known to the Demon Mountain. Even within the Black and White Courtyard, only a few people knew about this operation. And the magic mountain in the sky actually shouted directly at him.

This surprised him!

What's going on inside the Black and White House?

How did the Magic Mountain, who shouted in the sky, know about their top-secret operation?!

The Magic Mountain, who is a legendary messenger of light, is the messenger of light who killed the Night King. Could it be that the gods gave him oracles, revelations, and guidance?!

Pate's heart is completely broken!

He turned, looked down, and when he looked up, his face changed completely. He turned and walked away quickly.

However, the voice in the sky made him stand abruptly again, and he looked up at the dome above him again, and he heard the unstoppable voice continue to roar: "Someone, I know that your black and white courtyard has been waiting for six hundred years to get the burning dragon crystal candle, and I take the glory of the Andals, the Roynas, the kings of the ancestors, In the name of the old and new gods, I promise you that if you appear, openly, and above board, I will present a dragon crystal candle to the Black and White Temple, so that the holy relics in your hearts will burn forever in front of the statue of the God of a Thousand Faces. ”

The Faceless One was completely stunned, unable to believe what he was hearing, and his body stiffened as if struck by lightning.

In the name of the king, the Magic Mountain promised to give them a priceless treasure: the Dragon Crystal Candle!

However, the dragon crystal candle does not actually belong to the king.
