Chapter 478 Joining the Faceless
In front of him was a handsome man with red and white hair and a pair of eyes staring at James.
And James saw that the other party was out of the instinct of a warrior, and a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart.
The person in front of him is just standing in the same place, but there is a feeling of integration, like an impeccable hedgehog.
"This guy is amazing."
James's heart instantly became more vigilant, and even one hand had already touched the dagger hidden under the coarse cloth on his waist.
But he seemed calm on the surface. After more than a month of wandering at sea, James has made a perfect farewell to the once proud young man, recognized his true self, and became more pragmatic. and calm.
"Who are you?"
The unkempt blond knight asked calmly, and at the same time shook his head and denied the other party's identification.
"You're mistaken, I am indeed from Westeros, from Old Town, and I have also heard the name 'Kingslayer', but I am not him."
And this handsome man with red and white hair just shrugged his shoulders slightly and spoke to appease James' sudden nervousness.
"Men don't have to be nervous."
At the same time, he glanced at the palm of James's waist, he knew there was a dagger there, but the slight fluctuation of his eyes made James even more nervous, because the other party noticed his small movements.
"Someone is just a nameless person, and there is no malice in coming to find a man, otherwise he would have already lied down."
"As for whether the man is 'Kingslayer' Jaime Lannister."
The visitor shrugged his shoulders again and spoke meaningfully.
"A man believes that he knows it well."
When James heard the other party's words, he took a deep breath. He knew that the other party did know his identity, and there was no need to continue to hide it, it would only add to the trouble.
It's just that the other party's arrogant but reasonable tone made him quite unhappy.
As the youngest member in the history of the legendary Knights Order, which enjoys a high reputation in the Seven Kingdoms, the young knight has few opponents in the world with his one-handed swordsmanship.
It was just because of a combination of circumstances that the boy who wanted to be Arthur Daye eventually grew into a smiling knight.
James finally stopped hiding, just looked around and sneered slightly.
"Anonymous?"
"I don't know who you are, but if you are the only one here, what can you do to me even if you are malicious?"
Although James was in ragged clothes and greasy hair, his face was proud, and he had recovered a bit of his former appearance, and then opened his mouth and said generously.
"Let's talk, since I fell into your territory and was discovered, I can't escape."
"What do you want? Take me back to King's Landing and sell it to that boy? Only a thousand golden dragons?"
"If you want me to say that you might as well sell me to my father, he may pay ten times the price for my life."
James no longer concealed his identity, because it was useless to conceal, he directly admitted that he was the 'King Killer' Jaime Lannister, and said at the same time.
But in his seemingly conceited words, there is a careful temptation. He is testing how many people this self-proclaimed 'no-name' person has brought here?
Is it just him, or are there other accomplices?
What is their position and purpose? Was Braavos their turf, or was he some gentile who just happened to meet him at the dock and recognized it.
And what do they want to do when they recognize his identity? kill him? Revenge snow hate? Although James has not deliberately offended anyone over the years, his arrogant attitude will certainly not please most people.
Or as he guessed, ready to kidnap and sell him to that 'boy'? Viserys is what Jaime calls 'the boy', because he once sent the young Viserys away from the Red Keep as the Kingsguard.
And if the group is really just for the money, James recommends that they sell themselves to his father.
Of course James didn't want to die, but his father had nothing but money. He believed that his father was willing to pay ten times the price to buy his life from the hands of these robbers.
But to the disappointment of Jaime Lannister, he guessed in his heart, but all the guesses turned out to be wrong.
He was indeed the only one who came, and he had no so-called accomplices, and his 'accomplices' had long since died.
He didn't have any grudges with James, let alone kidnapped and sold him to Viserys or the Duke of Casterly Rock, and he didn't come for money.
"Someone's current name is Jaqen H'gar, and a man can call someone Jaqen."
Jaqen Hegar silently looked at James, who had been guessing and probing, and finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Someone has a talent for observing men and has only one question for you, 'Kingslayer.'"
Jaqen was also reluctant to continue to use the Lorasian way of speaking, claiming that someone avoided using the first and second person pronouns such as 'I' and 'you', but asked directly.
James was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that all his guesses about the other party just now were all wrong, but then he nodded.
"Just ask."
"Do you still want to go back?"
Then Jaqen asked directly without hesitation, and James fell into silence in an instant. He stared at each other with a pair of shining blue eyes, and slightly held the dagger around his waist, but finally released it. .
"What do you mean?"
"Someone doesn't mean anything in particular."
On the other hand, Jia Kun looked extraordinarily calm, as if he did not see the threat in the eyes of the young knight in front of him, and then continued to speak.
"It's just that the God of Thousand Faces is the creditor, and only life can pay for death. Someone from an organization you may have heard of may help you."
The person on the dock did not attract much attention. Perhaps the person who came was a person with a very low sense of presence, and he would naturally not attract attention when he chatted with a tall 'beggar'.
And when James opened his eyes slightly when he learned the true identity of the person who came, he was persuaded, and finally thought for a moment that he really had no place in Braavos, and then nodded.
"it is good."
"I would like to join."
"Don't worry, it still needs to be assessed whether the 'King Killer' can join."
But Jia Kun said in a calm voice.
"Success, become an 'unknown person', failure, will also become a 'unknown person'."
"From now on, there will be no name for you in the world."
James clenched his fists slightly when he heard the words of the Faceless. He understood what the other party meant. If he succeeded, he would become a member of the Faceless, and if he failed, he would die.
However, the proud knight in his heart believed that with his talent in swordsmanship, he would definitely be able to pass some bullshit test, successfully return to Cersei's side in the future, and even kill the boy.
Then the two walked out of the port one after the other, and at this moment, James accidentally saw the face of a wanted criminal posted on the wall outside the port. face.
James was stunned for a moment and then turned his head suddenly, only to find that Jaqen just now had disappeared.
Only a man with a scar on his hooked nose looked at him coldly, and then said impatiently.
"What are you doing standing still?"
"Hurry up!"
