Chapter 25 The Court of Black and White! The God of Thousand Faces!
Chapter 25 The Court of Black and White! The God of Thousand Faces!
"As long as your Majesty takes this coin to Braavos, someone will definitely show you the way forward."
The stranger, who was wearing the formal palace attire of Wallis, bowed to Liu Hao, turned around and retreated into the darkness, his cloak fluttering and disappearing.
Liu Hao looked at Jia Kun's disappearing figure and sighed: "It's a pity that we can't take the devout Faceless Men for our own use, otherwise they will be the sharpest assassination machines in the dynasty!"
Fortunately, Jia Kun left key clues to the Court of Black and White.
Liu Hao played with the ancient coin.
Inscribed on it is "All mortals must die, all mortals must serve" in Old Valyrian.
...
The plan of the dynasty commander to return to the dynasty was postponed, and Liu Hao set out from King's Landing City, took the True Dragon, and headed for Braavos.
The real dragon soared, covering thousands of miles in a day. According to the map's instructions, it arrived in Braavos in less than a day.
What Jia Kun said is true. The Court of Black and White is the holy land of Braavos, and everyone respects it as if it were a god.
After a captain saw Liu Hao's coins, he immediately took the ferry to lead the way and took Liu Hao straight to the Courtyard of Black and White.
A small rocky hill appears on the left. On the top of the hill is a windowless dark gray stone temple. Rock stairs lead directly from the door to the covered pier below.
The pier is dimly lit, the stairs are extremely steep, and the black tiled roof of the temple is pointed, just like the houses along the waterway.
"The House of Black and White is right in front of you..."
After getting off the boat, Liu Hao's mouth showed a slight arc, holding the big and small Loli left and right, and went straight to the destination.
Xiaoyaoyou's body movement was moving, and he took a hundred steps, just like shrinking into an inch. Soon he reached the top. In front of him was a pair of twelve-foot-high carved wooden doors. The one on the left was made of weirwood and was as white as a skeleton.
, the one on the right is made of slightly shiny ebony.
In the middle of the two doors, there is a moon carved together, but the weirwood is inlaid with ebony, and the ebony is inlaid with weirwood. In addition to being simple, it also has a dark and deep atmosphere.
The wildling girl Ygritte looked excited. This was her first time traveling to a world outside the desert, and at the same time she saw the vast sky and the blue sea.
The little lolita Daenerys tried to stay calm, but actually she was a little scared.
Because the three young dragons behind them let out a low roar, as if something dangerous was lurking in the shadows.
This temple seems to have existed between heaven and earth since ancient times, full of death and darkness.
Liu Hao rubbed Daenerys' little head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. Since ancient times, there has been no true god in the world."
"All gods have their own tools, and the faithful men and women who work for them execute their will in the world. The Lord of Light has the red-robed witch. The methods of the ancient gods are more extreme. The other ghosts are only born to destroy...
"
"The followers of the Thousand-Faced God are the Faceless Ones..."
Liu Hao was playing with the ancient coins in his hand, still thinking about what Jia Kun said before leaving:
"All mortals need to die, all mortals need to serve!"
The Faceless Men believe that death is a gift from God and the end of all suffering, and they never kill for themselves.
The secretive assassination methods learned from the Academy of Black and White are indeed unpredictable, but Liu Hao does not believe in the Thousand-Faced God.
In the original plot, Erya of the Stark family never believed in the Thousand-Faced God. After experiencing a unique training method, she could also become the best Faceless Man.
The door to the Black and White Courtyard opened without warning.
A man whose appearance was described as exactly the same as Jia Kun stood expressionless behind the door, staring at Liu Hao with dark and gloomy eyes, full of fear.
"Why are you coming to the Court of Black and White?"
The faceless man controls the life and death of others and is omnipotent. However, when this faceless man faced Liu Hao, he only felt a sense of powerlessness from the heart, as if he was facing a god.
Liu Hao threw the ancient coin in his hand to him and said with a smile: "I came to the Court of Black and White just to appreciate the transformation of the Thousand-Faced God..."
The Faceless Men are a powerful and mysterious organization, and Jia Kun is just one of the outstanding killers. The man in front of him is obviously not Jia Kun, but he is also a strong one among the Faceless Men.
Just when his murderous intent was about to start, a wisp of sword energy that tore through the void was already pressed against his forehead.
The faceless man's eyes were shocked. He had the idea of taking action, but he was already subdued. Even though there are thousands of ways to kill people, there is no room for them in front of Liu Hao. Just like a mortal, when meeting the true god, he can only bow.
Worship.
"You lead the way."
Liu Hao put away his sword and didn't care at all.
The frightening thing about the Faceless Man is that he hides his whereabouts, but with his powerful killing power, he is already on guard, and he will kill anyone on sight, and it is only a matter of effort to wipe out the Court of Black and White.
The Faceless Men obviously knew this too.
He opened the ancient door of the temple and took Liu Hao inside.
This is not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but this ancient coin symbolizes the will of the Thousand-Faced God.
After entering this ancient temple, countless statues stood along the wall, tall and menacing, with red candles swaying at their feet.
In the center of the temple, there is a pool with a diameter of more than ten meters. There are some stone cups beside the pool. There are many holes on the wall. People seeking death come here to drink the water from the pool and lie in the holes to wait for the arrival of the Thousand-Faced God.
.
There are countless tunnels dug inside the hill where the temple is located. The attendants and priests who serve the Thousand-Faced God are equivalent to the God's servants, looking after the God's home and courtyard. This is their residence.
The lowest level of the temple, where no one else is allowed to enter, is where the holy place is.
Liu Hao went straight to where the Holy Land was.
My spiritual sense was detected, and I couldn't feel any powerful energy in the Courtyard of Black and White. There were only strange spiritual fluctuations deep underground.

The stone door that had not been opened for a long time suddenly opened, and the holy land of the Black and White Courtyard finally unveiled its mysterious veil and appeared before your eyes.
A stone tablet records the legend of the Thousand-Faced God in ancient Valyrian writing. Liu Hao had already exchanged his worship points for language, and the ancient Valyrian language was not difficult.
When I glanced at the ancient stone monument, I seemed to feel a majestic faceless god standing in the sky, overlooking everything in the world with compassionate and indifferent eyes. …
