Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

"Hello, Grand Maester Pycelle." Under the guidance of the attendant, Maester Holly entered the room. When he saw the two people in the room, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly recognized the two people's age and age. The maester's collar around his neck identified who was Grand Maester Pycelle, and he greeted him with respect.

"I'm not very well," Grand Maester Pycelle responded with a smile.

Bachelor Holly was stunned, not knowing how to react.

"I have been having a headache these days about how to write the record of the death of Maegor I Targaryen, so I prayed to the gods for someone to help me," Grand Maester Pycelle said with a smile: "But you Holly Bachelor, but he stayed in the camp leisurely and delayed his arrival for two days, which prolonged my pain for two days. My dear Bachelor Holly, do you think I am fine now?"

No matter how bad Maester Holly was at interacting with others, he could still hear the complaints in Grand Maester Pycelle's words. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain it, and the nervousness made it appear on his forehead. The sweat comes.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you," Grand Maester Pycelle easily tested out Maester Holly's character and reassured Holly knowing that he would not pose any threat to him if he stayed in the Red Keep. The bachelor said, and then asked: "Do you need to prepare anything else? If not, I hope you can start working immediately. The progress of the chronicle has been much slower than I expected. I hope that your joining can speed up the work." We are on track to complete the compilation of all major historical events before the 80th year of Aegon's calendar by next year."

"I am at your command, Grand Maester." Maester Holly, who is passionate about history, became very excited after hearing Grand Maester Pycelle's words, and his face could not hide the joy in his heart. He hurriedly sent Archmaester Schill saluted and said that he did not need to prepare anything now and could start working at any time. But suddenly he thought of something and said: "I have a companion who is currently at the post outside the Red Fort. I may need to go and talk to him." He said something and explained something..."

"No, you don't need to go," Grand Maester Pycelle raised his hand to stop Maester Holly and said, "If you don't have any special private matters, you don't have to go. You just need to write it down, give it to him, and let him Just take it with you, I don't want you to waste your time on such meaningless things."

When Archmaester Pycelle pointed at the other person in the room, the man couldn't help but be stunned, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, as if he was saying to Archmaester Pycelle, "Do you think I will follow your instructions?" Do as told.

However, because the lights in the room were dim, Academician Holly did not see the expression on the man's face. He did not object to the instructions of Academician Seale, asked for a piece of paper, and quickly wrote something on it.

After finishing writing, Grand Maester Pycelle took the piece of paper, folded it without looking at it, handed it to the man, and said: "The contents of the third cabinet next to the bed in my room should be able to compensate you. Well, I hope this ends here, what do you think?”

Maester Holly on the side could clearly feel a hint of fear in Grand Maester Pycelle's tone, which made him curious about this man who looked like a bachelor. After all, Grand Maester Pycelle had an extraordinary status in the Red Keep. No matter how you think about it, you shouldn't be afraid of an ordinary bachelor.

The man was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the piece of paper and said, "I hope the compensation you mentioned, Grand Master, is true compensation, otherwise I will come to you again, and then I won't be what I am now."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room. As he left, Grand Maester Pycelle also breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to hold the table next to him, steadying his somewhat limp body and keeping himself in Holly's presence. The Maester tried to remain steady.

After the man left the room, he did not take the road that bachelors often take to leave the Red Castle. Instead, he took a relatively remote path with few people. Moreover, he deliberately avoided the pedestrians on the road until When I walked out of the Red Keep, I didn't encounter anyone head-on.

After leaving the Red Keep, he took out the note written by Bachelor Holly and threw it casually in the weeds beside the road. But after he took a few steps, he seemed to think of something again and hesitated on his face. After a moment, he turned around, rummaged through the weeds, found the piece of paper again, then turned and walked towards the guard box outside the Red Fort.

Soon he arrived near the guard box and found the person he was looking for. But when he saw the person, he couldn't help but froze, and then walked over, speaking in a very familiar tone, without thinking. Asked: "Why is it you again?"

A stranger suddenly appeared and asked inexplicably. Linde was completely confused, but he quickly realized who this person was. After all, this person's unique temperament made him want to admit his mistake. Disaster.

"Why are you here? Master Bowo." Linde looked at the faceless man Bowo who had transformed into a bachelor in front of him, and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Grandmaester Pycelle owes me a debt." Faceless Man Bovo simply answered, then handed the note in his hand to Linde and said, "This is what a maester named Holly asked me to pay. For you."

Lind was stunned, then reached out to take the note and read it. The content on it was very simple. It was that Bachelor Holly gave him the books left in the camp.

After putting the note in his pocket, Lind looked at the Faceless Man and asked, "How long will you stay in King's Landing?"

"If there are no accidents, I will leave tonight." Bovo responded casually, then he looked at Linde with a strange look and said, "Don't you think our successive encounters are magical? Just It’s like a pair of hands is vaguely affecting the fate of both of us.”

"No, it's not magical at all. We have only met three times, and you took the initiative to see me once. This kind of coincidence is normal, there is no need to make a fuss." Linde acted very coldly and looked at Bo Wo , said: "You don't want to drag me to become a faceless man, do you?"

Bovo shook his head and said: "Anyone in the entire King's Landing may become a faceless man, but you absolutely cannot."

Although this sounded like he was speaking for Linde, Linde always felt something was wrong.

At this time, Bo Wo looked at Linde for a while, his face full of doubts, and said: "What happened to you in the past few days since we met Yu Lin? Why do I feel more..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were full of scrutiny. He looked at Linde, and then said with a look of enlightenment: "I understand why the Thousand-Faced God asked me to perform this gift. It turns out that the water The dancer is not the goal at all, you the bear hunter Linde is.”

Hearing Bowo's words, Lind couldn't help but frown, and his hand fell on the hilt of his sword without leaving a trace, and said: "Lord Bowo, you want me to enjoy some of the gifts of the Thousand-Faced God. ?"

"No, it's not you." Bovo ignored Linde's warning behavior at all. Instead, he shook his head absently, then looked at the golden robe who came out of the guard box out of curiosity and said, "This is not the place to talk. ”

After saying that, he signaled to Lind, then walked onto the avenue and walked towards Baylor Plaza.

Lind hesitated for a moment and followed, but his vigilance did not relax. In his eyes, there was no difference between fanatical religious elements and lunatics. One second he would be chatting and laughing with you, the next second It may be due to some unknown reasons that the swords are drawn against each other.

"Can you tell me about your experience these days?" After Linde caught up, Bovo slowed down a little and said, "I want to know what is the reason why you have the Thousand-Faced God in you. focus on?"

"The attention of the God of Thousand Faces?" Linde paused slightly when he heard this, and his face became a little ugly.

He remembered that in the related forums of his previous life, there was a post discussing the gods in the world of ice and fire, and almost everyone who participated in the discussion believed that except for the seven gods of man-made belief, the other gods were not good guys, even the most glorious ones. The teachings of the righteous Lord of Light, R'hlroq, are also full of various evil thoughts and rituals, and the most important thing is that many gods really exist. Being paid attention to by such gods is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

The Faceless Man easily saw through Linde's mind and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely not be blessed by the God of Thousand Faces now, and when you are qualified to be on the list, I believe that with your At that time, no faceless person should be able to get close to you, so you don’t have to worry at all.”

Lind thought about it and felt that Bovo was right. With his current growth rate, by the time he is famous enough for people to spend a lot of money to hire the Faceless Men, his strength may have reached an inhuman level. Perception and other abilities should also be improved accordingly, and then there will be no need to worry about the assassination of the Faceless Men.

After thinking about this, Linde relaxed a little and asked in a bargaining manner: "I can tell you about my experience during this period, but what benefits can I get?"

Bovo was stunned for a moment, looked at Linde with a strange expression, and then asked: "What benefits do you want?"

After Lind was silent for a moment, he suddenly thought of his reaction when he came into contact with the dragon bone, so he said solemnly: "You have a way to enter and exit the Red Keep at will, right?"

Bovo said with great confidence: "Although it cannot be said to be random, there is still no problem in entering and exiting the Red Fort normally."

Lindkai conditionally said: "I am very curious about the dragon bones. After King Robert ascended the throne, he moved all the dragon bones to the cellar under the Red Castle. I would like to use your ability to enter the cellar and steal some dragon bones for me. It should be okay." Question?"

Bovo couldn't help but asked: "Dragon bone? What do you want that thing for? It's just a slightly harder bone." As he spoke, he looked at Linde with a strange look and said, "Only some madmen and fools would think that Powder made from dragon bones is the best aphrodisiac. Could it be that you..."

"I never knew that the Faceless Man knew how to tell jokes, but this joke is obviously not good." Linde glanced at the Faceless Man coldly and said.

Bovo smiled nonchalantly and said, "If you want the dragon bone, you don't have to go to the cellar of the Red Castle. I can give it to you now."

After saying that, the Faceless Man motioned for Linde to follow, and then led Linde into a small alley. After walking for a while, he came to the door of a tailor shop.

After the faceless man knocked on the door, the door opened. An old man looked outside through the crack of the door. After seeing the faceless man, he relaxed and opened the door completely.

The faceless man did not enter the house, but said a few words in non-universal language to the old man. The old man nodded and turned around and entered the house. After a while, he saw him holding a small box and walking to the door.

Judging from the difficulty the old man felt holding the box, it was not difficult to judge that the contents of the box must be very heavy.

After the faceless man took the box, he motioned for the old man to close the door, then turned and walked to Linde, put the box down, and said, "Do you think these are enough?"

Lind reached out and opened the box. Although he had already guessed what would be in the box, he was still a little surprised when he saw a box full of bones.

Then he reached out and touched the bones in the box one by one, and found that all these bones could cause the golden finger to move, which proved that these bones were all dragon bones.

Although until now, Linde still doesn't know what effect the dragon bones can have on his golden finger, but with so many dragon bones providing him with experimental materials, I believe he will figure out this question sooner or later.

Now that the Faceless Man has taken out the dragon bones, Linde will naturally not regret it, not to mention that his experiences during this period are very ordinary and do not involve his own secrets, so there will be no problem in speaking out.

So, he recounted what happened that day after he and the Faceless Man separated in the royal forest.

The Faceless Man listened attentively, interrupting Lind from time to time to ask for details of some matters. After asking, he shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with the Thousand-Faced God.

It wasn't until the topic came to the girl that Lind accidentally rescued outside the Lion's Gate two days ago that the expression on the Faceless Man's face changed and became particularly serious.

The Faceless Man followed and inquired about the girl's situation very carefully. After learning that the girl woke up today, he told Linde not to say any more.

"That girl is what attracted the attention of the God of Many Faces?" Linde asked tentatively.

The Faceless Man did not answer, but just pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go with you to the Tyrell family's camp to see the girl. If necessary, I will take her back to the House of Black and White in Braavos."

"No problem, as long as the girl is willing." Linde nodded and said.

Bovo was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Linde with a deep look. He could hear the meaning of Linde's words. If the girl didn't want to, he would not take the girl away.

He was not offended by this, but felt that Linde had a rare personality and was very principled in doing things, and he was a person he could make friends with.

But at the same time, he also felt that a principled person like Linde would not survive long in the Seven Kingdoms, so he also hoped that Linde could become that exception.

As for whether the girl is willing to go to Braavos with him, there is no suspense in his opinion. Since the Thousand-Faced God has guided this girl, then this girl must belong to the Thousand-Faced God.
