Chapter 996
Jaqen faintly said: "Buy a baby slave and collect the remains of a powerful Warrior. When the wind will rest a little in the coming year, the mountains and rivers will be as icy as iron, the sky will be so cold, and the whole city will be covered with Ice armor."
The two masters and disciples both shivered and looked at each other in shock.
"How long has this plan been going on?" Seven Hidden swallowed, trembling.
"For more than a year, before the Wall collapsed, all the Faceless Men were scattered all over the place. For example, I stayed in Samyriana for more than half a year and bought more than 5,000 people under the age of 5,000 from slave dealers and poor people. 20,000 corpses of powerful Warriors were stolen and purchased.”
“In this impossible, half a year, how could 5,000 babies be born? And with such a big movement, why is the Great Fathers? Didn't find it?" Seven Hidden asked in disbelief.
Jaqen's dazed eyes glanced at Arya's right hand, which held a human-skin mask.
"Long Night is a long time, and the common people have nothing to do, so they can only have children at home, but Long Night also makes their life difficult.
Selling children to slave-masters as slaves not only can Let the children survive, oneself also get money to buy food, why not do it?
Samyriana does not have 5,000 babies, but there are vast villages and small towns outside the city, including the surrounding population , 10,000 babies are more than enough.
Someone has replaced more than a dozen slave traffickers, just and honourable to collect babies inside and outside the city, or send them out to sea, or go north on the stone road into the Bone Mountains.
Once I leave the city-state, I will kill the slave traffickers who escort the babies, turn them into living dead, and then pray to Cold God that all babies will become little Others.
Return to the city in a different identity, no Anyone doubt."
"Wait, you mean baby boy and baby girl?"
Seven Hidden face changed, solemnly said: "Even baby girl?"
p>"After seeing someone, don't you understand yet?" Jaqen said bitterly: "Others are another kind of human beings, new human beings. They have ideas, can communicate, and can reproduce.
Don't look at the Others being transformed from humans, but the difference between humans and Others is like..."
"It's like divide progeny and humans." Arya said.
Jaqen was stunned and said, "Someone wants to say, it's like humans and Children of the Forest."
Arya said slowly: "divine progeny, it's from the previous era. The protagonist of the world. The bloodline of the descendants of the divide progeny degenerates, or interbreeds with humanoids, and then gradually evolves into the human beings."
"You..." Jaqen looked at her fixedly.
She has the same cold expression as before, but she has a lot more energy and confidence than when she was in Braavos, her body is more mature, and she is more cold than cold.
"You've grown up." He sighed.
Arya's horse face is slightly red.
Seven Hidden looked suspiciously on their faces for a while, frowned: "I know female Others can thrive with male Others, but at this point, isn't it too early?
I remember that Three-Eyed Crow once said that only in the middle and late stages of Long Night, when the overall situation is timed, will others be multiplied on a large scale.
Others that reproduce naturally are like commoners, it is better to transform The coming Others Warriors are powerful, efficient, and easy to command."
"The female Others and the naturally-bred Others are weak, but they are not controlled by the Others King, and even if the Others King dies, they will still survive. Someone guesses , Cold God plans to forcibly replace humans with Others," Jaqen said.
Arya sneered: "Can this plan work? Long Night will end before the next generation of Others are born..."
The smile on her face at the end But slowly disappeared.
Can this Long Night really end quickly?
Looking at Jaqen, and thinking that there are a total of 587 Jaqen active all over the world, and more than half a year has passed, she is not sure.
"Does the House of Black and White really have 587 Faceless Men? I have participated in the Faceless Men's mid-month meeting as a maid many times, and every time I am there, there are more than 20 people." Arya facial expression grave.
"Half are retired old people, and half of the remaining half are collecting intelligence in various city-states.
The other half belong to the high level Faceless Men you can't see, Often out of mission, not in Braavos, like someone.
So, how many people are left in House of Black and White?"
There are about seventy resident Braavos left, minus apprentices , the number is almost the same.
But Arya still has doubts, "Does the House of Black and White really allow the Faceless Men to retire? In Archmaester Walgrave's play, all the Faceless Men who want to retire have ended miserably."
