Chapter 0114: Golden Knights: Strangled Ones

On the other side of the Narrow Sea, the free trade city-state of Braavos, Isle of the Gods.

Jaime woke up to a pitch black look.

He smelled an indescribable smell in his nose.

The smell is like the sweetness of roses and pastries mixed with the rancid stench of dead fish. It's a disgusting smell.

Jaime moved, and found that his strength had returned, though still weak, and his hands and feet were weak.

Where is this?

Jaime had no way of knowing.

Although the Faceless is a killer organization, its credibility is stronger than that of the most honest merchants in the nine free city-states on the continent of Essos, so Jaime is relieved to hand over the gold to the priest to buy a chance to join the Faceless.

His goal is also clear, to learn the art of transfiguration.

Now, however, Jaime has no idea of shapeshifting, and these Grim Reaper and Thousand Faces believe in strange things and don't have the legendary gold reputation.

Jaime soon noticed a bright light ahead.

A little light penetrates.

He got out of bed with his hands and feet, and walked forward little by little, stretching out his hands and touching forward very slowly.

Dark as thick juice.

But the faint light in front of me is light and hope.

The outstretched hand touched the cool, smooth object, accompanied by a slight clanging sound, the soft sound of glass. When I touched it again, there were countless rows of round glass bottles, small bottles, large bottles, tall bottles, short bottles, row after row. It turned out that there was a cabinet shelf in front of it, which was filled with all kinds of glass bottles. A wide variety of scents are emitted by these glass bottles.

A little bit of light came from behind the bottle holder, where there was a small round hole in the wall, so small that the eye could only see a small circular space when the eye came up.

In the middle of this circular space, as far as the eye can see, there is a table.

There were two people seated at this time, both facing Jaime from the side, and Jaime could see their clothes and even their facial expressions.

It seems that one of them is a bachelor, and the other is a person who comes to ask for a bachelor's errand.

The man looked wealthy and wore a gemstone ring on his finger.

Jaime was also from a wealthy family, and his family was rich in the Seven Kingdoms because of the gold mines in his territory. Even though Jaime had never worn a gemstone ring all over his finger. His father never did, nor did his sister to the Queen of the Seven Kings.

Jaime despised the fellow, and saw that the guy was dressed in high-end clothes, with gold and silver threads inlaid with silk. Behind him stood two tall mercenaries. The mercenaries are dressed in golden robes, which are very eye-catching. There are four human-headed skeletons on the cuffs and neckline of the robe, and the human-headed skeletons are also golden. One of the mercenaries wears a golden nose ring on his nose.

"Golden Knights?" Jaime said darkly.

He had heard the name of the Golden Knights, the most expensive and powerful but also much-maligned group of mercenaries in the Free City of the Narrow Sea, founded by Aegon Gawain, the noble bastard of House Targaryen. He was one of the noble illegitimate sons of Aegon IV. After being legitimized by his father, Aegon IV, as king, he took part in the rebellion of another illegitimate son, Daemon Blackfire. The reason for the rebellion was simple, Aegon IV legitimized all the illegitimate children he sowed everywhere, and the bastard children had the right to inherit the throne.

Everyone is a legitimate descendant of the royal family, for the Iron Throne, let's fight!

This is another piece of evidence that historians denounce Aegon IV as a mediocre king: the legitimization of illegitimate children, the illegitimate children of very noble mothers are called 'noble bastards', among which the noble bastard son of Diana Targaryen, Daemon Blackfire, and his descendants have rebelled many times, causing the country to be in turmoil for decades.

After the rebellion ultimately failed, the descendants of the Blackfire and the knight lords, who had been forced to lose their land, crossed the Narrow Sea and kidnapped Aegon Gawain, who had been punished as a night watchman. In order to survive, Aegon Gawain founded the Golden Knights in the free trade city-state of the Narrow Sea.

Looking at the two arrogant mercenaries, Jaime knew that he had guessed right. When he fled to the city-state of Braavos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, he had plans to join the Golden Knights under a pseudonym. The Golden Knights take in all kinds of wandering warriors, outcasts, and desperate criminals, and they are the most powerful mercenary group in the free trade city-state, and their strength and fame are still above the second group. It's just that the prestige of the Golden Knights is not just a good name.

"Somebody gave me a name. The bachelor said.

The rich merchant uttered a name.

The bachelor nodded: "Someone wrote down the name." ”

The rich merchant nodded and smiled in satisfaction, and begged the scholar to give him a cup of holy water for the sake of the amount of gold he had paid.

Holy?

It seems that the Bachelor's holy water may be some kind of well-known water with a cult of faith, which is unattractive to Jaime, but is priceless to the faithful.

The maester groaned slightly, "As you wish, Sir Gabriel." ”

The Bachelor wore a crystal clear ring on his hand, with a heart-shaped diamond-like crystal in it, lilac. The bachelor slowly took off the ring and spun it, and the transparent ring turned out to be a lid that could be opened, and the transparent crystal inside was exposed, and the purple light was faint. A waiter brought a glass of water, and the bachelor put the transparent heart-shaped crystals into the cup, and for a moment, the crystals dissolved in the water, and there was no shadow.

The bachelor tilted his head slightly, and motioned for the wealthy merchant of Gabri to drink the cup of holy water.

The rich merchant was overjoyed, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, he touched his chest with his left hand to show respect to the bachelor, and then picked up the water cup with both hands and drank the holy water in one gulp.

The Bachelor smiled and looked at Sir Gabriel.

Sir Gabriel's smile stiffened on his face, and with a loud bang, the glass fell to the ground and shattered, his neck seemed to be violently choked, unable to breathe, his eyes were bloodshot by suffocation, his eyes were staring out, his mouth could not be closed, his tongue was sticking out of his mouth, his hands tried to grasp his neck, he tried to stop the invisible hand that was choking his throat, but his hands had no strength, and his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears were bloodied, and with a bang, the rich merchant fell to the ground, and died of exhaustion.

Jaime was dumbfounded.

The time was so short, just a moment, the rich merchant Sir drank the water, and almost instantly, his facial features were distorted and terrifying, and he died of anger.

Strangled one!

Jaime snapped to the name of the poison on the continent of Westeros: Strangulation.

It was the first time he had seen the Strangler, but he had heard the state of the Strangler when he killed the dead, which he had heard described from Paisel, the great scholar of the royal palace. The Starry Church of the Old Town Scholars of Westeros would deploy this poison, but only a limited number of scholars would have this ability.

The two mercenaries behind the rich merchant glanced at the rich merchant's body indifferently, their faces expressionless. The mercenary dies, the contract expires, and they turn around and leave.

"For good, go see Jaime Lannister, he should be awake. The Bachelor's face looked in the direction of the hole that Jaime was peeking at.

Jaime was taken aback, the Bachelor's face changed, the kind Bachelor's face changed to that of an ordinary young man, and his black hair turned brown.

The maester is a faceless one.

"Yes. Said the waiter who was cleaning up the shards of glass on the floor.

"Give him this to drink. The Faceless One said.

Jaime stared at it, and the Faceless One pulled out a strangulation.

"Yes!" said the waiter, bowing his head.
