Chapter 71 The Courtyard of Black and White

 Werther walked into the hall. There were a lot of broken wood chips from the door on the ground, but the hall was empty and there was no one.

The House of Black and White is an assassin organization and will not organize personnel to directly conflict with Werther.

There is a pool in the middle of the hall, and there are thirty statues of various gods on the wall. Red candles are lit at the feet of the statues.

The place is very big, and even with more than thirty candles lit, it still looks very dark and full of an eerie feeling.

After looking around, the figures on the statues had all been changed to the style of Braavos. Witte didn't recognize any of them now. There were many small grids on the walls for placing the offerings of people praying for blessings. Witte knelt down and touched the ground with his hands.

Release magic perception.

"Sure enough, they are all hidden underground!"

After wandering around the hall, I found a hole behind a statue. There was wind blowing out of the hole. Obviously this was just one of the entrances. Werther took out the Dark Sisters and extinguished the magic ball behind him.

"In such a narrow cave, you might even hurt yourself if you use magic."

Cast an invisibility spell on yourself, squat down with your legs to enter stealth mode, and slowly walk into the cave.

The island where the Black and White House is located is a stone island. Except for one obvious building on the outside, countless tunnels have been dug inside the entire island. According to Werther's magic exploration, the magic reaction points are divided into three different heights.

Then there are at least three floors underground.

The height and width of the cave are about two meters. Since it was dug into the rock, there are still many gouge marks on the walls. There are places for candle holders at regular intervals. The candles on them have been extinguished, and the entire tunnel is dark.

I can't see my fingers.

Every time Werther walked for a while, he would light up the magic light magic a little and then quickly extinguish it. He would also light up the candlesticks with flame magic. Every time he passed through a fork in the road, he would use his sword to carve a circle on the wall of the cave where he could exit.

So as not to get lost.

There are also some simple traps in the cave, some with crossbow arrows fired from the walls of the ropes, and some with spikes under the empty pedals. It is impossible for these crossbows to keep the arrows stuck on the strings. These are obviously prepared for Werther just now.
However, Witte relied on his light footwork skill in stealth to make his body very light and did not trigger the pedal trap. It was also because there was a little light from the candlestick that he stepped through the rope trap.

Walking in the direction of the wind, it didn't take long to find the steps going down. After going down the steps, the passage began to widen. There were many holes on both sides of the wall, and in the holes lay dead people who had turned into mummies.
"This scene is so familiar. Did they also learn this burial method from Valyria?" Witte looked here and remembered the ancient tombs in the Elder Scrolls game, which are almost exactly the same as the scenes here.

There is an iron door at the end of the passage. It is easy to open this simple lock, just use transformation magic to simulate the shape of the key.

Then use a silence technique on the iron door, and slowly push the iron door open without making any sound.

Walking in quietly, a hall was dug out here with a lot of beds, which should be where they live.

There were four people talking on one side of the hall. Werther touched the back of a cabinet to listen to what they had to say.

"The assassination of Vit Baratheon failed. The assassin sent there has died and he has entered the House of Black and White."

"There are not many assassins left in Braavos now. We have to wait until they complete their mission before assassinating Vit."

"From what I observed from a distance yesterday, Werther is a real magician, and he also has stealth skills similar to ours."

"I have sent them a message and they will come back through the secret passage."

"The monks and servants have also left the secret passage."

Several people spoke Valyrian with a Braavos accent, and Witte could only understand some of it. The irrelevant people had already escaped, so the remaining people were the ones in charge.

Witte flashed out from behind the cabinet. The attack bonus of his stealth skill made cutting people with the sword as easy as cutting tofu. The Dark Sister cut the two people into four pieces with one swipe.

Then use the magic choke to grab one person's neck and point the sword at the other person.

"You should know who I am, who hired you to assassinate me?"

This man was wearing monk's attire and did not answer the question; "From the day we became servants of the Thousand-Faced God, we have already had the awareness of death."

He chopped off his head with a sword, used a magic choke to increase output, and crushed another person's neck.

For this kind of believer, Werther knew that it was useless to ask. There were still people underground, so he just kept looking.

The man whose neck was crushed looked at Werther with wide eyes, as if he was unwilling to do so.

There is no maze-like tunnel on the second floor. After walking through several halls, there is an iron door leading to the next floor.

Start sneaking again, and there are still several halls on the second underground floor. There are priests, monks, assassins and servants in the House of Black and White. The furniture here is simple and it is where they said the servants live. There is no one there now. It should be from the secret

Tao ran away, and these servants had no fighting power.

Below is the third floor. There are seven or eight magic reactions that are relatively concentrated, and Witte doesn't plan to sneak anymore.

Cast two spells on yourself, one "Iron Armor" to increase defense, and one "Fire Cloak" to set the whole body on fire, which can illuminate the cave. At the same time, the Dark Sister Sword is also enchanted with flames. The Valyrian Steel Sword will not

Melts like a regular steel sword.

Coupled with the awakening of the dragon soul, if you stand with three defensive magics and let them poke you, they will probably only scratch your skin.

After searching on the second underground floor, I found a door with a black and white moon engraved behind a statue. I kicked it open and there was another stone staircase going down.

Werther strode down to the hall on the third underground floor. This is the most spacious of the three floors, even wider than the buildings on the ground. It was converted from an underground cave. There are not many candles, and it looks extremely dark.

There are many squares on the surrounding walls, and each square has a face mask. The organization has existed for thousands of years, and the total number of face masks is estimated to be in the thousands.

There are many drainage ditches on the floor of the hall, and the water in them is slow. This should be the sea level. Werther walked to the middle of the hall. There is a huge statue of God here, and there are some books below.

Several magical reactions were constantly changing positions around Werther. Werther was not in a hurry, opened the book and read it directly.

"Introducing the God of Thousand Faces is boring."

Opened another black book.

"Human skin envelope! Go to Myer to assassinate the governor..."

An invisible assassin jumped to Werther's side in a few steps. He used a long sword and slashed at Werther's neck.

Werther blocked it lightly with the Dark Sisters and put the sword on his neck:

"Didn't you hear that the last assassin also died like this?"

"All mortals are mortal!" After the assassin said this, he spat at Werther.

Werther moved out of the way, and the phlegm fell to the ground and smoke emitted.

Werther fired several magic light spells in succession, and the light balls flew around and stuck to the walls, illuminating the entire hall.

"Then who told you that I am a mortal?"
