Chapter 473
Jaqen is out of luck.
Maybe found the Magic Pot from "Hades the Fire Demon", drained all his luck, and he's been having a rough few months since.
First, his hidden identity was discovered.
There are more than tens of thousands of books in the bookstore, and he only stole a dozen of them. In theory, even if Archmaester went down to the cellar to borrow books, he wouldn't find exactly the books he stole.
The Old Man of Oldtown called for the book he stole.
Then he was discovered in a very sudden situation.
Not only the stolen books were discovered, but the mask of "Pate" was also dismantled.
Rarely, Faceless Men identities are exposed to broad daylight.
This is a big blow for House of Black and White.
And his mission...
Easy to kill several apprentice assistants who arrested him, and Jaqen goes on the run.
Well, he's the Faceless Men, and being found out is only to his chagrin, but not life-threatening.
But under the stern manhunt of the Oldtown guards, he has no time to deal with the books stolen from the library.
Those books are mostly tomes, and they can't be carried away in his arms, otherwise he won't have to steal books in batches.
At that time, he had only one choice: hurry back to his residence, choose one or two most important books, and run away immediately.
There is no doubt that the smart Jaqen chose the Magic Pot!
If the book is gone, you can steal it again.
The Citadel is there, the library is there, the Archmaester is there, as long as the Faceless Men have the heart, there will always be a place to replace an Archmaester or two, and then...
But Magic Pot is unique and unmatched, and throwing it away means saying goodbye to Hades the Fire Demon's "Death God forbidden technique".
Not to mention the "Death God forbidden technique" that makes all Faceless Men coveted, even Hades' knowledge, Citadel secrets, proven Magic, and even the incomplete Valyria Grand Sorcerer inheritance are invaluable thing.
So, he only took the Magic Pot.
Jaqen came to Oldtown empty-handed and left with only the Magic Pot.
But his heart is content, proud, joyful, and full of expectations for the future.
Every day he would rub the clay pot, and every day he would kneel in front of the Magic Pot and recite the incantation of "Mother, filial piety".
With the Magic Pot, and being discovered again, Jaqen will of course return to the House of Black and White immediately.
He easily found a boat to Braavos, and when he thought oneself would be able to get home with a smooth sailing, he accidentally found him.
——Dragon Queen conquered the great pirate Lord of the Waters and incorporated pirates from nearby islands to become the strongest force of Stepstones.
——Dragon Queen's Imperial Family ship Captain, the honorable White Cloak Barristan, robbed Hightower's fleet.
The above two news only surprised Jaqen.
However, the Dragon Queen's Imperial Family fleet actually took a fancy to the "Fledgling" ship where oneself is located.
He dignified first under the heavens assassin, the Faceless Men Jaqen, who was enough to make countless people become terror-stricken at the news, was actually arrested as a strong man! ! !
Ok, temporary hire.
The glorious Barristan did not become a shameful pirate. He paid Fledgling to help transport food, and hired sailors on Fledgling to help build the camp.
Give money!
People give wages.
As a result, "Sailor Fall" had to work on the farm of "Queen's Point" for more than a month as a carpenter.
Well, Sailor Fall is Jaqen's vest at this time.
Generally, Faceless Men will not abandon their current identity and take risks to escape if their identity is not discovered - just like when King's Landing, Jaqen also lived in a black jail as a "dangerous prisoner" for half a year .
Queen's Point, the Disputed Lands stretches into a peninsula in the Narrow Sea, between Tyrosh and Lys, very close to the Dragon Queen Imperial Family naval base - Torturer's Deep.
Well, this place didn't have a name originally, but the Dragon Queen's navy named it "Queen's Point" after taking the land.
Jaqen can't guess the Dragon Queen's plan, but he doesn't care about it either - the Dragon Queen deliberately let Barristan rob Fledgling, she knew that Jaqen was on the ship, so she deliberately delayed Jaqen's return time.
Her "ghost cultivator meditation technique" has not been researched yet and will take time.
Imperial Family Navy sailors didn't embarrass him, he could build a house during the day and toss a Magic Pot at night, and he was quite comfortable.
Aegon 299, December 15, the night of the last full moon before winter.
Disputed Lands, Queen's Point, a wood house behind the hills.
The moon is like a silver plate, and the broken waves in the distance whisper with the wind.
Under the moonlight, a man with semi-long hair sits cross-legged on the roof, holding a smooth and moist clay pot in his arms.
“bō bō bō bō bō bō bō 啵!”
I kissed me seven times.
Well, except for the saliva that I haven't brushed my teeth for a few months, there is no odor... Well, the odor is suppressed by bad breath.
Then, the man held the clay pot and rubbed it hard seven times, except for the sweat on oneself's palm, there was no stain.
Finally, Sailor Fauer solemnly placed the pot on the wooden platform, knelt down on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and proficiently recited in Chinese with a hint of flavor: "Ah. Mother, filial piety! Faceless Men are all idiots."
He kowtowed seven times and shouted seven times.
The sailor lifts the head slowly, looking at the mouth of the can without any natural phenomenon, the anticipation in his eyes is quickly annihilated.
"Ai, I have absorbed Moon's Essence for several months, why hasn't it been repaired yet? Or, that night, I had a dream?"
Being hit continuously Too many times, the determined Faceless Men have gotten a little frustrated.
He lowered his head, covered his face with long hair on his forehead, and there were countless doubts and uncertainties in his heart.
"Jaqen?" Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite side.
The sailor kneeling on the ground shuddered. He first closed his eyes tightly, then raised his head, brushed away the messy hair in front of his eyes, and opened his eyes slowly and cautiously like a chick coming into the world.
The red glow on the crock pot looks like a cloud, and a gray robe old Maester with white hair and white beard stepped on it, looking down at oneself.
It's still the familiar, pale face that looks like a thick layer of powder, with reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, the longest chain he's ever seen hanging around his neck, hunched over, with a pestle in his hand. with a cane.
Looking as old as a dead man, he exudes a powerful imposing manner that makes people feel like an abyss.
genuine's Magic Pot genie, Hades the Fire Demon! ! !
"wuI finally see you again."
Tears could not help seeping out, blurring the sight of the sailor.
"You changed your face again, where is this now?"
Magic Pot elf Dany looked around and began to show off his acting skills.
"South of the Essos continent, near the Disputed Lands at the entrance to the Narrow Sea."
Jaqen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and hummed with a nasal voice.
"How long has it been?" Elf Dany nodded and asked again.
"It's been more than three months, almost four months. I recite incantation every day, and pray all night every full moon." Jaqen.
"It's only been more than three months?" The Magic Pot elf was a little surprised, and said with a shrill voice: "It's really entering the Magic Tide turbulent period, I thought it would not be able to appear again for thirty or forty years! "
"Thirty or forty years?" Jaqen glared.
"What do you think? The jars are broken."
"Is it fixed now?" Jaqen asked quickly.
"What do you fix, you just ask the mason to fill in the hole, what kind of repair is it?" The Magic Pot elf shook his head.
"Then how long can you hold on, and can you show up again in the future?" Jaqen asked nervously.
"Let's go!"
Magic Pot sighed, and an atmosphere of desolation and loneliness permeated him.
"Yuehua magic power and belief strength can help me recover, but I don't want to live like this again." The elf's tone was indifferent and sad.
"Aren't you Half God Mage? You are still Maester, you can continue to study knowledge and Magic!"
Jaqen is really anxious, this old Mage seems to be unable to think about it and wants to self-death what!
"I've lived too long, and I've been alone and sealed in a jar..."
Speaking of which, the Magic Pot elf suddenly flicked his sleeves and helplessly said: "Forget it, even if I say to you 'Death God also desires death', you probably won't understand."
"Death God also desires death..." Jaqen repeated. Whispering this sentence, the whole person seems to be crazy.
Isn't this the ultimate version of the "Valar Morghulis" theory?
Although he really doesn't understand it now, this theory sounds great and makes him very emotional.
It seems that Hades the Fire Demon has really researched the "Death God forbidden technique" to an extremely Profound Realm.
"It's useless to talk too much. After the fate between you and me, I will try to attack Astral Realm." Magic Pot said.
"Shock Astral Realm, what do you mean?" Jaqen came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
"I want to become a devil!" The elf looked up at the moon and said in a low voice.
“How to become a demon?” Jaqen asked.
"You Faceless Men believe in Death God?" The elf looked down at Jaqen without answering the question.
"Well, we believe in Many-Faced God, the God of Death."
"So do you know who the Death God is?"
Jaqen said : "Many-Faced God has different names in different places, in Qohor it is Black Goat; in Yi Ti it is Lion of Night; in Westeros it is Stranger."
"hehe , God is the only name, Spiritual God is the only me, this is the reason why you Faceless Men never got a response from Death God.
It's very simple, you shouted 'Hey, answer me on the street' ', and people on the street will take you for a fool." Elf sneered.
Jaqen's expression remained unchanged, and he emphasized in a special way: "Faceless Men believe in Many-Faced God, carry the will of Many-Faced God, and bring blessings and liberation to people of any faith in the world!"
Dany got what he meant: The Faceless Men couldn't have a specific Death God belief or else it would conflict with their fundamental teachings.
For example, if the Faceless Men only believe in Stranger, then they cannot kill the Qohor people.
Because Qohor believes in Black Goat, but the core doctrine of Faceless Men is: Faceless Men killing is not killing, it is a gift for Death God.
The elf looked up again, looking at the full moon in the sky, and said faintly: "Jaqen, Death God is a kind of priesthood, and a profession will not have only one clerk.
Lion of Night , Black Goat, R'hllor, Cold God, etc. Death God, all master this priesthood.
Even me...
I am Half God, master Death God forbidden technique, can't compare with R'hllor, he is True God.
But Black Goat is only Half God, then I am also Death God!"
Jaqen pupil shrink , quickly regained his composure, and said slowly: "If someone believes in you, the House of Black and White can set up a god for you."
"No, I said it the first time I met, It is precisely because I don't want to be Evil God that I sealed oneself in the Magic Pot."
"Black Goat? Garbage! It's better to end yourself immediately if you are with him." The elf said arrogantly.
This time Jaqen was really shocked.
The horror on his face was hard to hide.
"What do you want?" Jaqen's voice trembled, a look of awe evident on his face.
"I'm going to give it a shot and challenge the Astral Realm, that is, the position of True God. If I can hold the Divine Throne high in the Astral Realm, I will be the only Death God in the world!"
