Chapter 380
The horse-faced girl is Arya.
She was originally incarnate as Cat of the Canals, crowding the crowd to watch Dragon Queen.
She didn't leave when the Dragon Queen closed the door of the Inn. Anyway, the cat was working as a helper at the Drowned Town pier, and she still wanted to find out about dragon!
Well, that Black Dragon is almost exactly the same as the Demon Dragon in Old Nan's story, fulfilling all her fantasies about dragons.
She wants to see dragons.
Dragon Queen is in the Inn, the Black Dragon that flew somewhere will always come back, and she wants to see it again.
A small hand grabbed her wrist, her Senior Sister wanderer.
Wanderer is a complexion pale little girl who looks no more than ten years old, with sunken cheeks, haggard, thin, and somewhat malnourished.
But this little loli is older than Arya's mother, thirty-six this year.
House of Black and White's strange poison fixed her appearance and size at the age of ten.
"Kindly Man is looking for you, as a former Stark, you should know oneself's biggest enemy." The wanderer said.
“Who?” Arya asked in surprise.
Then, she seemed to think of something, and immediately shook her head in denial: "You're mistaken, I'm not Stark, I'm Cat of the Canals. The cat works for the fishmonger Brusco, and there is no big enemy."
The wanderer looked at her for a long time, nodded and said: "Yes, you are a cat. Now Kindly Man hopes that you can firmly remember one person, King in the North Stark's life and death is a big deal. Enemy, are you willing to go?"
"I..." Arya turned her head towards the woman with a blurred silhouette by the window on the third floor of the Inn of the Green Eel, her hesitant expression became Firmly, he said, "Want to see Daenerys Targaryen? I'll go."
Then, Arya and the vagabond put on black and white robes and entered the "True Dragon garden villa" as maids of the kind old man .
...
Dany is surprised by the presence of Arya Horseface, and Arya also recognizes Dany, the pretty girl Knight from her dreams.
Unable to help, her eyes flickered, and there was an obvious strange look on her face.
She thought of the admonition from the female Knight to oneself that day: You are Skinchanger, Warg, in the state of Wolf Dream, remember Warg's taboo, don't eat human flesh, don't deny oneself instinct, don't indulge in something that doesn't belong to human... ...
Her long horse face began to turn red and hot, she had eaten people, and she was addicted to it.
Well, I was a Warg and she didn't know me - Arya thought happily.
Arya's awkwardness was noticed by the hooded old man, but he only frowned and didn't pay much attention.
Well, he thought "Cat" was starting to bring in the identity of "Arya Stark".
Stark is surprised to see Targaryen's heart stop.
And that's exactly what he's aiming for.
"Nameless Men, saw Daenerys Your Majesty." The old man walked up to Dany and gave her a salute.
One old and two young, three Faceless Men's robes are very distinctive, the right half is black and the left half is white.
What's more distinctive is the old man's face, and Dany almost screamed the moment he lifted his hood.
What a face that is!
The skin rotted and fell off, the white tendons and red meat pieces showed a dead gray color, the bridge of the nose, forehead, chin and other sharp edges and corners, and golden's skeleton bones were also exposed.
In front of Dany, a white maggot the size of a finger belly crawled out of its eye socket.
what the fuck!
I cursed in my heart, and I almost shouted in my mouth.
But next moment, in the blink of an eye, the old man's face changed, an ugly face glaring at him.
Dany's mind flashes a big "what".
Next moment, just when she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes, she blinked again, and the face of the old man on the opposite side changed again.
Serious old Whitebeard.
So, she blinked again.
Mean old man face.
Blink again.
The dull old face.
Blink again.
An expressionless old man's face.
Blink again.
The head of the old man with a very light smile.
...
Just like that, Dany blinked, and the old man's face changed, from terrifying to amiable.
In the end, he was the kindest old man in Dany's eyes.
At that face, the hostility in Dany's heart was gradually disappearing.
"It's amazing." She closed her eyes and said sincerely: "Your Excellency the priest's face-changing technique, reaching the pinnacle, made me amazed."
To be honest, the Sichuan Opera Master It can't compare to this old Faceless Men (ps), it's too real, the expression is as vivid as a true person, it's almost impossible to see through the naked eye that it's a fake face.
The old Faceless Men smiled indifferently, with obvious pride in his eyes.
Since they know the purpose of today's negotiation, how could Faceless Men not show their hands?
even more how a Queen just used Astapor's dog to insult the owned Faceless Men.
"However, a lot of times, we will not judge a person by their faces." Dany was also unwilling to let the old man leave after pretending.
"For example, Astapor's dog can detect a person's breath and feelings of good and evil. As long as it is an assassin, there is malice in the heart."
Uh, she said it again.
Let Astapor's dog meet Others!
"What the Dragon Queen said is very true." The kind old man secretly hated, and the kind smile on his face continued, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Dany's expression froze, and she suddenly realized that oneself only felt kindness and peace in the old man, and even had a feeling of wanting to be close.
But anyone with normal IQ knows that the old man must be hostile to her, killing intent.
This, is the Faceless Men also graded?
Could it be that Arya's killing of Night King was not because of the screenwriter's brain, but because she reached the Faceless Men highest realm, and could even hide the breath of the living and the killing intent in her heart?
Dany is a little unsure.
"Queen Your Majesty, you asked me about your assassination, right?" Kindly Man continued to smile kindly, then said kindly: "You captured that Nameless Men in Astapor Great Pyramid. , and later released her.
That way I no longer have to deny the failure of the House of Black and White. Yes, we intended to assassinate you, but failed regrettably."
"Sorry?" Dany looked gloomy.
"Your Majesty, please believe me, the House of Black and White has no ill will towards you, they are just doing things with money." Keyholders handed it over with a genial smile and said.
Dany laughed angrily, "Is it okay to kill me?"
"The person who wants to kill you is the employer. Assassins are like swords, although they kill people, they There is no personal will per se," explained Keyholders.
Kindly Man is very dissatisfied with Keyholders' statement, although he is talking about the nature of killers, but Faceless Men does not classify oneself as killers.
They are organized, have faith, have lofty ideals, and are an orthodox religious group.
So, he tilted his head, looked towards the fatty beside him, his kind face suddenly turned into a serious and serious one - Dany, who had been staring at him, was shocked again, she was a little suspicious whether oneself was a little bit dim-sighted from old age.
I didn't blink, and I still couldn't see his face-changing action!
Serious, saying: "Lord Bessaro, you have misunderstood the teachings of the Many-Faced God. Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris.
Death is a merciful release, Nameless Men It's not assassin, it only represents Many-Faced God sending gifts and liberation.
And Nameless Men never send gifts for selfishness, nor do they choose to kill people, Nameless Men are just servants of Many-Faced God. "
He's telling an outdated truth.
At least there is nothing wrong with the interpretation of the teachings of the Many-Faced God espoused by the Faceless Men.
The assassination of the Faceless Men is seen as sacred ceremony, like Christ's baptism.
Death is a benevolent release, sounds nonsense and perverted?
This starts with the birth of Faceless Men.
I don't know what to get, Valyrian scoured slaves from the world, and digged Fourteen Flames frantically.
Fourteen Flames are active volcanoes sealed by Valyria sorcery.
An active volcano!
Imagine how brutal the environment inside the mine is.
I heard that the strongest miners could hardly survive a month.
It is better to die happily than to live miserably like that.
Therefore, the person who brought death to the slave who couldn't bear it but didn't want to commit suicide appeared.
They were the original Faceless Men.
In those days, death was truly a benevolent release.
But this kind of doctrine is now... not out of date, at least ordinary people can't accept it or understand it.
I do not deny that there are people who cannot be looked down upon in any society and in any environment.
Ninety-nine percent of people who can be assassinated by the Faceless Men don't want to die, let alone consider death a benevolent release.
Anyway, Dragon Queen is alive and well, very happy, and she wants to live another five hundred years!
No, even Keyholders heard the fat face distorted.
"Ai, Your Excellency Priest, the way you're talking nonsense with a serious face is so... flat!" Dany said lazily, leaning back on the wooden chair.
Kindly Man did not speak, but changed his face, a terrifying scowl that can only be seen in a nightmare.
"Dany, such words shouldn't come from a Queen, especially if you are facing a highly respected High Priest." Sealord raised his face and said solemnly as an elder.
"You want to die?" Dany squinted at him.
Old Sealord paled with anger, shaking his hands, pointing at Dany, shivering and unable to say a word.
First Sword suddenly got up, looked at the Dragon Queen coldly, and said, "Are you threatening Sealord Your Majesty?"
Dany spread his hands and said innocently: "Everyone See, even Sealord is a lot of age, suffering from pain all the time, but he still doesn't want to die, and doesn't think that death is a benevolent release.
As the saying goes, what you don't want done to you don't do to others, don't you understand this truth?"
"I..." Sealord turned his face dark and glared at the frivolous Dragon Queen: " I respect Many-Faced God, but I also believe in oneself."
"The problem is, I don't believe it either!" Dany became more and more innocent.
"Don't talk about these things, everyone, not to mince words." Darkstar patted the table impatiently, glanced at the four people on the opposite side, and said, "Faceless Men may not be loyal to Sealord, but they must be Serve the interests of the entire Braavos.
The assassination of Queen Your Majesty has absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Many-Faced God.
Without money and some shady politics I don’t believe it if you kill me.
Our demands are only two points. First, don’t send Faceless Men to assassinate Queen Your Majesty and her subordinates. Second, Braavos insists on a neutral political stance. Interfering with Slaver's Bay and the Allies.
In return..."
"Ser Gerold, this is your personal opinion, or is it a paraphrase of Dragon Queen's terms ?"
Sealord interrupted Darkstar angrily, emphasizing in a firm tone, "I'll tell you two things too, first of all, Braavos supports religious freedom.
Doesn't intervene or follow. Without interfering with the operation of the House of Black and White, the assassination of the Queen has nothing to do with me and Braavos.
Secondly, Braavos' internal affairs and diplomacy do not allow any outsiders to interfere."
He looked directly into Dany purple's eyes, and said word by word: "In the Peak period, Valyria had more than 500 Dragonlords, but Dragonlords have never been able to control our policies."
