Chapter 0900: The Killer Returns to the Team
When Allister Florent regained his freedom, the courtiers of the Stormlands breathed a sigh of relief.
They also had a lot of intimacy with Will's words and demeanor.
Will's ravens were also released the next day and flew to Dragonstone, so that Tyrion Lannister and Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion, were ready to arrive at King's Landing in advance.
Twenty days later, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King went out of the northern border to the territory of the Riverland, and stationed on the riverside of the Green Fork River, which belonged to the territory of the Frey family in Luanhe City.
The only ferry port, Luanhe City, is not far away.
The Frey family immediately came out to greet the Prime Minister and the King, brought a lot of food and wine, and sent family guards to protect the King and the Prime Minister.
The next morning, when the party set off again, Arya, Rosso, and the others found several newcomers following Will, who had later been incorporated into Will's three hundred guards. Arya could only be sure that these people were from the Frey family, and that they were both men and women, and Arya didn't know any of them, but she could see the disguises of these people. Their faces were not their own, and Arya had learned the Inquisition's face-shifting technique, a combination of dark magic with her Faceless brothers, and the dark magic here came from the blessings of strangers.
There are a total of five people who joined this time, all of them are not good-looking, ordinary-looking, average-looking, and have no sharp air, but Arya feels the deterrent, these people seem to know Arya's identity, their sword is very short and narrow, this is the blade that cuts someone's neck from behind.
The dagger is very sharp.
Arya understood that it was someone from the Inquisition.
The Inquisition has openly built a large chapel on the territory of the Night's Watch, not far from the branch church of the Faceless. The Holy Inquisition is in the north, and ordinary nobles do not know or are not familiar with it, as the ranks of the king and the prime minister go south, along the way, there are constantly people who are not good-looking to join the ranks of the prime minister, they are all ordinary people, no armor, no fancy clothes, some even have no sword belt, a narrow sword is held in the hand, but no one dares to underestimate these ordinary people.
Because these people came directly to the Prime Minister, and they only had to nod to the Prime Minister, and they were formed into the ranks. When you mix in the crowd during meals, you basically can't find them.
Because their appearance is not good, and there is no publicity, they don't need to greet anyone when they come and go, they just need to come and nod in front of the prime minister, and the prime minister will hand them over to Heiya and others, and then there will be one or two more people in the guards.
Upon exiting the Riverlands, Arya counted fifteen of the new entrants.
The fifteen men of the Holy Inquisition, both men and women, all with strange faces, narrow swords, and cloth clothes. Some didn't even have swords, and joined in with a wagon.
Even more astonishing than Rosso, Black, Abel and the others was Petyr Berish Littlefinger, who, with his ingenuity, could guess that these people were terrible killers, and that Lord Will had no clue of how Lord Will had mobilized these people in the Riverland, and that Littlefinger had no idea how Lord Will's signal was sent or how these people received it. Fifteen men had come from the Riverlands, and how many of the three hundred guards had been brought out from the North were Will's 'secret killers'? Littlefinger didn't know, he didn't know anything about the workings of this area.
Even if Littlefinger becomes a duke in the future, a great lord, it will be easy for Lord Will to kill him.
The Riverland is the territory of the Tully family, and more than a dozen people can be drawn out, so how many killers are there in the valley? How many are there in King's Landing? How many are there in the north? How many are in the south? Littlefinger doesn't know.
Among the accompanying party was a distinguished guest: Naho Dimetis, the business manager of the Iron Vault. He came out of the Iron Vault and went to the North to meet Will, and he followed Will ever since. He is an investor in the kingdom and the only professional banker on the continent, and he and Prime Minister Will have agreed that he will welcome the Iron Vault Resident Banker and open the first Iron Vault Bank in King's Landing.
Will's power is converted into a stake in the Iron Vault's banks on Westeros, which is not a small share, and a 30% stake in all the banks opened by the Iron Vault on Westeros.
The Iron Treasury will send a professional manager to the royal court to serve as the architect of the country's financial system and the official of the financial regulator, under the command of the Minister of Finance, Petyr Berish.
No one knows about Naho Dimetis's previous experience, and no one knows about his family power, and his label is that he comes from the Iron Vault, and he is the external professional manager of the Iron Vault. When the people of Will's Church of the Holy Tribunal returned all the way, Naho was even more surprised than Littlefinger.
In Braavos, the Iron Vault, the Faceless, and the Sea King are the three major labels of the Braavos Free Trade City-State, with the Sea King being the most powerful, the Faceless being the most mysterious, and the Iron Vault being the richest. These three are not cut off, but need each other. The Iron Treasury is the supporter and foundation of the free trade city-state of the entire Braavos, without the establishment of the Iron Vault, there would be no Braavos today, and without Braavos, there would be no Faceless and Sea Kings on the Isle of the Gods.
The Faceless One is the sword that protects Braavos from killing the enemy, Aquaman is Braavos' symbol of power to dominate the sea, and the bad debts and enemies of the Iron Treasury need the power of the Faceless and the Sea King, and the Faceless and the Sea King cannot do without the support of the money of the Iron Vault. The Faceless and Aquaman are also among the holders of the Iron Vault.
Nahoe himself is not a faceless and has not been trained in face-changing magic and killing techniques, but he knows killers, very well. When Will's Inquisition team members appeared and returned one by one, it was not Littlefinger and Rosso who were the first to be surprised, but Najo Dimetis.
He could see how terrible these killers were, and several of them were not much different from the top killers of the Faceless. Naho's eyesight is so good that he doesn't forget the people and things he has seen, he remembers the faces of these people, but the next day, he finds that the faces of these people are plausible, and on the third day, he begins to be unable to determine, and on the fourth day, his memory becomes blurry.
The Assassins of the Inquisition do the opposite of the Faceless Killers of Braavos.
Braavos's faceless face is a face that is completely abandoned after being used to commit a crime, because if it is used again, it will be recognized. The faces of the Braavos Faceless are all about using one face to the point where they can no longer be used, and then changing a new one, but the members of Will's Church are completely different, they seem to change all the time, but each time it seems to change just a little, and no one notices, but if you look closely, after a few days, you will wonder who you are seeing.
Plausible, uncertain!
One is that as long as you use this face, it will not change, and after committing the crime, you will change a new face, and the other is that it will change at any time, but it doesn't seem to change. When you want to identify someone, you can't find it.

Chapter 099-2 The King's Avenue bestows a heavy vassal
As the party enters King's Landing, a group of men and horses appear in front of them, looking fierce and dressed differently from everyone else. The first two are also weird, one is tall and small-headed, with a cautious face, and the other is short, big-headed, and wild-looking.
These two men are actually known to all the courtiers and the royal blackarmies, they are Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion, and one is even more famous in the Seven Kingdoms: the little demon Tyrion Lannister.
The strange shapes of the guards around the two of them were wary, men and women, tall and short, and women with one-eyed dragons and necklaces with human ears, and their weapons were not uniform, some were axes, some were spears, some were swords, some were knives, some were hammers, some were maces, and some were scimitars, which were different from the half-sword and half-scimitar of the Dothraki, that is, the scimitar of the full moon. There are also people with colorful snakes wrapped around their necks, and they don't know if they have pets or if they are going to use snakes to attack their enemies.
In short, the guards around Count Davos and the little devil all looked like savages, uneducated by civilization, and like mountain people.
However, they are indeed mountain people, the aborigines of the Bright Moon Mountains in the valley. They had Gonthor, son of Gunn of the Raven Tribe, who was very thin, with a horned helmet, and a scimitar in his hand.
And then there is Shaga, the son of Dof, whose cloak is draped over his body and squats down to look like a rock, and he becomes a man when he stands up. Xia Ga was burly and strong, well-armored, and had huge double axes, and he collided the two giant axes with a loud noise, demonstrating to the black-armored guards.
Other Native warriors include Conn, Torrick, and Jagott......
The necklace made of human ears was Zira, a short, strong woman with a chest as flat as a man's. There were fifty-three ear necklaces in her ears.
Zira is flanked by Hammer Ulf. Because the relationship between the moon people and the black ears has always been close.
Timeh, the son of Timeh, stood alone, holding a heavy axe as wide as two ordinary axes. He is the leader of the Scorching Tribe, and every tribe in the Bright Moon Mountains is afraid of the Scorching Tribe, because they use fire to abuse themselves as a proof of courage, and during the coming-of-age ceremony, Timei gouged out his left eye with a white-hot sharp knife. The compatriots of the Scorching Tribe, greatly impressed by his eye-gouging behavior, immediately made him a "Red Hand", which means the tribal general, responsible for leading the warriors of the Scorching Division to fight against the people of other tribes.
No one knew whether he was afraid or disgusted with Timeh, but Time stood alone, his one-eyed glittering, as fearsome as his axe.
The team had to stop, and the three hundred warriors of the Black Armor Army were in front, and no centurion rushed forward to challenge these ruthless people. Behind these ruthless men there is a team of brightly armored weapons, but there are hundreds of people.
The little devil said as if singing: "Who is the leading general, we are going to meet His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister." ”
Davos Seaworth also said, "General, inform me that Ser Tyrion Lannister, Acting Lord of Dragonstone, and Davos Seaworth of Cape Stormfurious have come to see His Majesty the King and Prime Minister. ”
After a short while, the procession parted and His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Prime Minister appeared at the same time. Her Majesty stood in the carriage, wearing a crown, a little girl, which made Tyrion feel that the crown was too heavy, and when Davos saw His Majesty Shireen, his eyes immediately turned red, he knelt down on one knee, put his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and choked up: "Your Majesty, Davos is incompetent and has made Her Majesty suffer." ”
Her Majesty Shireen saw the arrival of Uncle Davos, whom she trusted and liked the most, and her smiling face bloomed, and from her right, it was a crystal clear face, and from the left, it was a black lump of scales.
"Sir Davos, get up, I...... Miss you so much!"
Will hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted Her Majesty lightly on the back, reminding Her Majesty of his majesty. She was a girl, but she was a king.
Shireen noticed her emotions, and Lady Caitlin had taught her how to face her courtiers with the dignity of a king, and she held her head high and held back her tears.
Davos also had red circles in his eyes and held back his tears.
After this war reunion, both of them have the sadness and joy of seeing their families again.
Davos bowed to Lord Will: "Prime Minister...... Davos is grateful for your dedication to Her Majesty's protection and for the Kingdom, for there is no one in the Seven Kingdoms who can compare with the Prime Minister. ”
The little devil Tyrion Ha smiled, feeling that the onion old man did still have a set of sycophant skills, and if it was him, he couldn't say it.
The little devil slowly knelt down on one knee, looking at His Majesty Shireen, but his heart swelled with sympathy for the little girl, at a young age, to bear the weight of the crown!
"Tyrion Lannister, Acting Lord of Dragonstone, meet Her Majesty. ”
"Sir Tyrion, please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Lord Tyrion Lannister of Dragonstone has met with the Prime Minister. ”
Will nodded, "Please, Sir Tyrion, you've worked hard." ”
Her Majesty glanced at the Prime Minister beside her, and Will nodded, a look of encouragement in his eyes. Then Her Majesty said, "Sir Davos, are you willing to serve me, to take on great responsibilities, to shed blood for my country, to rebuild King's Landing, and to fight against the Strangers in the north." ”
Davos hurriedly knelt down again: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing, the minister is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of Her Majesty and the country, and there will be no hesitation." ”
"Well, the Prime Minister and I have agreed to make you Minister of the Sea, in charge of the maritime affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, patrolling the seas, establishing a royal naval fleet, guarding the maritime trade of the Seven Kingdoms, and combating piracy and smuggling. ”
"Yes!" Davos said aloud, his eyes moistening again.
He was originally a pirate and smuggler who had been smuggling at sea for decades, and for the waters of the Seven Kingdoms and the Narrow Sea, he knew where there were reefs and whirlpools even if he closed his eyes. He was the Minister of the Sea, and he made the best use of his talents, which was also a career that he liked very much.
Will and the courtiers around him were secretly relieved, they were worried that Her Majesty Shireen would not be able to say these words in one breath, and they were also afraid that she would choke on forgetting words in the middle of the way.
"Sir Tyrion Lannister, are you willing to serve me, to take on great responsibilities, to shed blood for my country, to rebuild King's Landing, and to fight against the Strangers in the north. ”
Tyrion Lannister also knelt down again: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing!"
Before entering King's Landing, Her Majesty gave the seal on the way, and also cut off the delusions of relatives and ministers who wanted to lobby in King's Landing.
