280. Chapter 278 "All men must die, and all men must serve!"



"You are so courageous!" Fang Yan picked up the wine glass, stared at it for a moment, and then poured it onto the sea.

In the sea area within a radius of ten kilometers, octopuses, jellyfish, sharks and strange creatures that looked like sperm whales but had fangs immediately floated up.

In the blink of an eye, they were all poisoned to death! Not even any microorganisms could survive! Fang Yan threw the wine glass into the sea without any psychological burden.

He glanced at a skinny Unsullied in the crowd and said, "Hey, you've killed so many innocent marine creatures, don't you feel bad?"

“Come to think of it, you are actually a Faceless Man, right?”

"In order to assassinate me, you even took the initiative to castrate yourself and disguise yourself as an Unsullied. You are really..."

“It’s very impressive~”

In an instant, the poisoner, with sharp weapons on his neck, was forced to his knees.

In an instant, his face changed, revealing another face.

The man knelt on the ground, but he didn't care. He was just a little confused: "The name of the poison is called [Strangling Demon]. It is the most poisonous poison bestowed by the Thousand-Faced God. It is colorless and tasteless, and will not destroy the mellow taste of the wine."

"How did you, a mortal, detect it?"

Fang Yan nodded and commented pertinently: "It is indeed amazing, and it is not a level that ordinary people can achieve."

This level of divine poison is so severe that even if one possesses different poison resistance abilities from the worlds of Hogwarts, Witcher, etc., there is a high probability that one will suffer a fatal accident if one drinks it.

The poison is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, if you want to poison someone, you have to rely on others.

And Fang Yan is best at seeing into people's hearts.

Last year, that is, the 298th year of the Aegon calendar.

[Hand of the King] Jon Arryn died suddenly, and the first volume of the story of the world of Ice and Fire, "A Game of Thrones", began.

Everyone's chess pieces were ready to move and they began to formulate strategies.

After the peak honor duel outside the seven-nation border, Fang Yan glimpsed the secret of divinity and was able to clearly perceive the flow of the power of destiny.

Now it seems that the gods are not unintelligent [mechanized gods], but are ones who know how to adapt.

The person they plotted against the most turned out to be themselves! Daenerys came to Fang Yan and stared blankly at the dead marine creatures on the sea. She gnashed her teeth in hatred and wanted to kill the poisoned assassin on the spot: "Damn it!"

But she still remained calm and rational.

Daenerys knew very well that the right thing to do at this time was to capture the assassin, then slowly torture him to squeeze out more valuable information.

——Growing up with Fang Yan, she gradually began to learn a thinking mode called "value judgment method".

She knew that the so-called "Faceless Men" were a religious assassin group who believed in the Thousand-Faced God, the god of death.

Today, their gathering place is the House of Black and White in the Free City of Braavos, but they claim to have originated from the Freehold of Valyria.

Dany worships Fang Yan from the bottom of her heart. He is handsome, knowledgeable, kind, and invincible. He can give her absolute sense of security. He is as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea.

so……

Anyone who wants to kill Fang Yan is her mortal enemy.

At this moment, countless ideas for torturing the assassin have emerged in Daenerys' mind.

"Followers of the Thousand-Faced God consider death to be a merciful end."

Fang Yan did not approach the Faceless Man, but kept a certain distance, overlooking him, and said slowly, "If you pay a price, they will agree to take the life of one person in the world, believing it to be a sacrifice to God."

"From what I understand, the price of an assassination varies depending on the importance and security of the target."

“How much am I worth?”

Fang Yan remembered very clearly that in the original plot, Arya Stark had met some other Faceless Men in the House of Black and White.

She calls them "beautiful men," "fat men," "prim faces," "slant eyes," "lords," and "hungry ghosts."

The person in front of me is actually very thin, probably the faceless man nicknamed the hungry ghost.

Unfortunately, the other person was not the one disguised as Jaqen H'ghar - the look in his eyes was wrong.

The Faceless Demon seemed to be telling everything he knew, and said bluntly: "The price offered by the Iron Throne is one million gold dragons. We think you are worth more, so we didn't reach an agreement."

"The pure-blooded Targaryen girl next to you has a bounty of 150,000 gold dragons!"

Don't underestimate this number.

In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, the purchasing power of gold dragons is extremely exaggerated.

In the year 209 after the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, the prequel "The Hedge Knight" took place, a sausage and a dime of ale cost only one copper cent! A good table of food and wine, including mutton, duck, buttered peas, oatmeal bread, and four cups of ale, only cost one silver deer and could get back a handful of copper coins.

And a golden dragon...

It is equivalent to 210 silver deer or 11,760 copper cents.

You know, when the world of Ice and Fire "Game of Thrones" began, the Iron Throne of the Deer Family was already in debt of more than 6 million gold dragons.

These six million were considered an astronomical figure, and these loans even came from the Lannister family, the Tyrell family, the Braavos Iron Bank, several Tyroshi trading companies and the church - it seemed that no single force could afford this amount of money alone.

As for the skyrocketing prices in King's Landing during the War of the Five Kings, that is another story.

- Six copper coins to buy a pumpkin, a silver deer to exchange for a pile of corn, and a gold royal is worth a knife of beef or six skinny piglets. These prices can only be said to be outrageously high. I don't know how many civilians have starved to death because of this.

Not to mention the mice, they even ate all the tree bark within their field of vision.

The Faceless Man was pressed down on the deck.

"Of course, this action is free of charge. It is based on the divine punishment of the Thousand-Faced God."

The Faceless Man let the poisoned dagger fall and said coldly: "Valar Morghulis..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Fang Yan interrupted him and continued: "Valar Dohaeris!"

Fang Yan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile: "This sentence in High Valyrian means..."

"All men must die, and all men must serve."

After a long pause, he said softly, "But I am not an ordinary person."

Fang Yan did not expect to see an expression of fear on the other person's face.

After all, he is a standard fanatic and a top assassin among the Faceless Men.

A guy who disguised his identity in order to complete an assassination mission and could take the initiative to cut off his own tyrant had already put his life and death aside.
