Another acolyte emerged from somewhere in the darkness, holding a model of a human face with a skin mask, and Jaime saw that there were already several layers of human faces.

Jaime just wanted to get out of here immediately.

But he didn't move.

The priest puts the new human face over the face mold to cover the old one.

He does it all as if he were immersed in beautiful music.

The priest motioned for Jaime to come over.

Jaime walked over, and the acolyte handed the model with an unknown number of layers of human face to Jaime's hand, and under the guidance of the priest, Jaime went to an alcove and placed the model of the human face in his hand into the niche of just the right size. Then he saw an entire wall of models of human skin masks.

At intervals on the vast and infinite wall, a light was lit up with a star, just enough to help Jaime see the faces of the people on this wall. There are also people whose faces blur and eventually disappear into the darkness in the distance, and even the slightest light can't dissolve the darkness completely.

Each of the nearby faces came to life, as if they had just been peeled off their faces. Their eyes were slightly closed, as if they had just fallen asleep.

Jaime seemed to see his own face, the face of his brother Jaime, the face of his father Tywin, the face of King Robert, the face of Eddard Stark who forced him to leave Cersei, he was amazed in his heart, his eyes searched hard, but he did not see the face of his sister Cersei, the face of Cersei that he couldn't let go of was not seen here, Jaime wanted to move his feet to see farther and wider, and the scepter in the priest's hand tapped his shoulder lightly.

"Believer, if you don't die, how can you be born again, and if you can't forget your real name, how can you be faceless?"

"Pastor, what do you want me to do?" said Jaime.

"Since you have already paid the price, you should follow my guidance, if you don't listen, you are not a believer in the God of a Thousand Faces, since you are not a believer, I will naturally lead you out. ”

"I believe in God with a thousand faces. Jaime said.

"Then come with me and follow my guidance. The pastor said. The light of the fire he raised shone on his face, which was modest and warm.

"Good!"

Jaime followed the priest to the Blackwater Pool again. Another priest led a sour guy to pray in front of the black pool.

"He was a vagabond, and he was willing to sacrifice his life to the god of death, and then his face to the god of a thousand faces. The pastor said to Jaime, "He has endured endless sufferings in his life, he has been tortured, belittled, beaten, bullied, he has believed in many gods, but he has not received a response from God, and only here can he find peace and liberation." ”

"you. Jaime thought to himself, "If I give him a pile of gold, he will find his true God in no time." The god of food, beauty, and love will all visit him, hear his requests, and give him a response. Yet Jaime uttered the words, "Yes, Pastor." ”

The homeless man, who had lived a poor and miserable life, took the bowl from the priest's hand, drank the half bowl of black water, and with a loud bang, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and the homeless man fell to the ground, his body quickly dried up, and the muscles and skin on his face quickly dried and decomposed, but in a very short time, he became a skeleton.

The tramp's clothes wrapped around the skeleton, and the priest wrapped the skeleton in his clothes and walked into the darkness. Listening to the footsteps, Jaime judged that the sound had gone underground. In the darkness there is a spiral staircase that leads to the underground, which is said to be the sanctuary of priests and acolytes.

"Pastor, why did he become a skeleton in the blink of an eye, did I see an illusion or a reality?"

"It's the truth, it's the illusion. ”

He sacrificed his life, but the God of a Thousand Faces did not take away his face. ”

"This is the will of the God of a Thousand Faces, and the God of a Thousand Faces never lacks faces. The God of a Thousand Faces does not take away the faces of all believers. ”

It turns out that God is also picky. Jaime snorted.

Jaime said, "Pastor, I'm here to learn the art of transfiguration, and I've paid enough for the service. ”

The priest smiled: "Immortal, lifeless; The God of a Thousand Faces admires courageous believers. ”

"It's the Faceless Order that needs someone like me. Jaime thought to himself.

Jaime said, "Immortality, lifelessness, forgetfulness, facelessness." I think I get it, pastor. ”

The priest nodded.

Jaime had seen many priests, and he had seen a few of the Thousand Faces priests, each of whom had a dead fish-eyed wooden face, but this priest smiled at him at least three times. His face always looked gentle and warm when facing Jaime.

Jaime followed the priest to the pool, the black pool, the black water, like a pool of death.

Jaime didn't resist this time until he gave up.

The priest scooped up a small half bowl of black water: "What is the name of the believer?"

My name is James Lannister. - Jaime said, "Nameless!"

"Where do the believers live?"

Jaime replied —— Karuo, "Homeless." ”

"Where do the believers come from?"

Across the Narrow Sea, on the continent of Westeros. - Jaime bows his head, "No address." ”

The priest nodded slightly, and handed the bowl over, and Jaime took it, grunting, and drank the small half bowl of black water. With a loud bang, Jaime heard the bowl cracking, and then heard the sound of his own body falling and his armor crashing against the stone wall of the pool, his eyelids were heavy and difficult to open, he was so weak that he heard several pairs of footsteps coming up from the ground. Jaime tried to speak, but found that his mouth could no longer be opened, and he tried to resist, but his hands and feet could no longer be lifted.

"Dragged to the torture hall, this is a liar. It was the last word he heard from the priest, and his voice was soft. In his last consciousness, Jaime saw the priest's face: warm and humble.

The three priests stood in the darkness with a lone lamp in front of them, shining on James's face. Even when he was asleep, Jaime showed his astonishing handsomeness. There was darkness all around his face. The oil lamp seemed to be designed to illuminate Jaime's face.

"He's a liar. A pastor said. If Jaime could hear, he knew the priest was a man with a warm and gentle face.

"Let him be a beggar for a month, a blind man for another month, a deaf man for another month, and a sick man for another month. Another pastor said.

"His heart. Sex. He was tough enough that he didn't need to be a beggar anymore, and he was sensitive enough and perceptive enough that our previous visions, skinning, and death skeletons had little effect on him, so the training of the blind and deaf had little effect on him, and all that was left was the sick. The third pastor said.

"The patient cannot be omitted, his swordsmanship is top-notch, but he does not know how to use poison, we have to teach him to use poison. The first priest said slowly, "The Thousand Faces God has issued a divine revelation for the second time, and the black and white eyes have opened, reflecting the second appearance of the ancient black and white order in Westeros, and we are running out of time. I'll leave for Westeros in a moment. You are responsible for training this guy, he is the eldest son of Tywin, Duke of Cairo in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and the heir to the throne. We're going to have an unpredictable opponent in Westeros when we reclaim Black and White Order, and he's my best friend. ”

"Grace, where are you going first?"

"The first place where power and all forces are entangled: King's Landing. Train him well, and let him cross the Narrow Sea to Jaqun Hegar. ”
