Chapter 31 The Hall of Thousand Faces

Braavos, the city of freedom. Merchants from the entire continent and even other continents gather here. Countless docks, ports, and sea ships have made countless rich people and countless sailors. Here is a mixture of prosperity and poverty.

A combination of extremes. Rich people have dozens of huge cargo ships capable of transporting any cargo to the other side of the continent. And poor people have a last resort.

The Faceless Men are a sect older than Braavos itself. They were originally born among the miserable slaves in the mines of Valyria. The slaves in the mines often revolted, and the first Faceless Men were among the rebels. Someone

Thinking that he was a slave himself, some insisted that he was a citizen of the Freehold and came from a noble family. Some would even tell you that he was an overseer who sympathized with the slaves under his command.

In fact, no one really knows his origins. Everyone only knows that he works among slaves and listens to their prayers. People from hundreds of countries were captured to work in the mines, and everyone spoke to themselves in their own language.

I prayed to God, but I prayed for the same thing, liberation and an end to pain, a very ordinary and simple little thing, but I got no response from God. The suffering continued endlessly.

Until one night, in the red darkness, he understood that all gods have their own tools, and the good men and women who work for them carry out their will in the world. On the surface, the slave is crying to hundreds of different gods.

, in fact, it is the same god with hundreds of different faces, and he is the tool of this god.

He founded the original Faceless Men sect and built the Black and White Hall. In the Black and White Hall, there are statues of almost all the old and new gods, including one of the seven gods believed in in the mainland, the Stranger, who is also known as the Stranger in the usual sense.

grim Reaper.

There is a special black cup in the Thousand Faces Hall. It is said to have been blessed by the Thousand Faces God. It can bring people liberation. To put it bluntly, if you drink water from this cup, you will die without pain.

.This is also the final destination for desperate believers. The attendants of the Thousand Faces Hall will give them a decent funeral.

The ones with a higher status in the hall are the Faceless Men. They are the best assassins in the world. If you pay a corresponding price, they will get rid of the corresponding person for you. They believe that death is a kind of relief and assassination is a kind of freedom.

kind of kindness.

"If they were so powerful, then with the financial resources of the Lannister family, they would have killed all their enemies long ago."

"You think too highly of the Lannister and underestimate the Faceless Men too much. If you want the Faceless Men to kill someone, you have to pay the same price as that person. And the standards are determined by them. If

If you want to kill a homeless man on the street, you only need one silver coin. But if the homeless man is the illegitimate son of a certain king, you may need 100,000 gold coins. If you want to kill the nine major families

For a certain family head, no single family can afford that price alone."

"Are they sure they can kill the person they're targeting?"

"As far as I know, they never failed."

"Then why did you come to them? Is there anyone you want to kill?"

"If I want to kill someone in this world, no one can hide from it, and there is no need to rely on other people's hands. I am just here to be curious about them. You first try this bracelet by yourself.

It works. I used an illusion on Drogon. Anyone who sees it will just think it is a cat. You will not be in any danger with him."

Lin Xuan walked into the black and white hall alone. The entire hall was very empty. There were almost no decorative items. The whole hall was composed of huge stones and stone pillars, reflecting a kind of minimalism.

There is a pool of spring water in the center of the hall. There is a black water cup floating on the spring water. It should be compared to the famous water cup blessed by the God of Many Faces.

Lin Xuan approached the pool and wanted to take a closer look at the water glass. But he was forced to stop after taking a few steps. Since the last time Jia Kun escaped calmly in front of Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan has strengthened his early warning magic. Although this

I still couldn't detect how the other party appeared, but at least I felt it immediately after he appeared.

"Long time no see Jia Kun."

"A nameless person, without a name." Jia Kun, wearing a black and white robe, slowly walked out from behind Lin Xuan. At the same time, more than a dozen different faceless people appeared from all directions, vaguely surrounding Lin Xuan.

in the middle.

Lin Xuan looked around and didn't feel the slightest fear. "Don't get excited, everyone. I don't have the slightest malice. I just came here to confirm certain things."

At the same time, Sasan also activated Lin Xuan's alchemy bracelet in the center of the city. A strange wave instantly spread to the entire city. The invisible magic wave swept through the bodies of most people in the city. Unknown to them,

Under the circumstances, an in-depth magic test has been done for them. Sasan started to try to find these people according to the plan.

In the black and white hall, although they were more than ten meters apart, Lin Xuan's spirit had already extended out of his body and tried to scan the black water cup.

This is not a water cup in the modern sense. In fact, it is closer to our traditional Chinese utensil, the ladle. It is an integrated utensil without any trace of combination. Lin Xuan cannot perceive its material. It looks like

It's wooden, but it has some other feel. The dark appearance makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

He used detection magic to conduct in-depth analysis. At this time, Lin Xuan vaguely felt some obscure power. He increased the output of magic power and tried to analyze this power. But nothing happened. This strange energy

, the level far exceeds the magic power, mental power, and even vitality he currently controls. It is a higher level of energy. But it is extremely hidden. If Lin Xuan was not extremely accomplished in detecting magic, it would be impossible.

aware of his presence.

As early as in the Deep Shadow Fountain in the Palace of Immortality, Lin Xuan had felt some kind of vague energy peering at him. This time it was also some kind of obscure power. Although the two were not the same, Lin Xuan

It can still be noticed that they have something in common in nature. None of them can directly appear in this world, and they all interfere with this world in some obscure way. They even come from the same place.
