Chapter 63 News of the Death of Elder Xiong from Black Iron Castle

You have to know that even in Braavos, the Faceless Men do not have a good reputation, and death is definitely not a blessing for most ordinary people who are not suffering from terminal illnesses.

The terrifying thing about the Faceless Men is that they can transform into anyone, making it hard to guard against them. And once an enemy is willing to pay the price of blood money to take their life, ordinary people have no room for resistance at all.

Disguise is just one of the Faceless Man's many strengths. The Faceless Man in front of him whose identity was exposed obviously also knows a little bit of martial arts.

He just shook his sleeves and two throwing knives appeared in his hands. Almost no one saw his movements clearly. The next moment, the two throwing knives flew straight towards Leon's face and heart, one after the other.

However, Leon's movements were not slow either. He raised his hand and used a sword to deflect the flying knife at his face. Then he stepped forward and dodged the flying knife at his chest. However, an unlucky sailor behind him obviously did not have Leon's skills. He was pierced through the body by the flying knife and was even driven backwards several meters by the huge impact force of the knife.

Seeing that the hidden weapon did not work and Leon was so close to him, the Faceless Man had no time to throw another flying knife, so he took out a dagger from his back and protected himself, blocking Leon's powerful chop.

As soon as they started fighting, Leon realized how difficult the Faceless Man was to deal with.

With Lyon's current strength, even if ordinary Night's Watchmen tried their best during normal training, they would be knocked down by Lyon with one sword, including their shields.

The only enemy that can force Leon to use his full strength is the dog-headed Hama, who is as big and strong as a small giant.

But now we have to add the faceless man in front of us.

What's more, Dog-Headed Hama is only powerful, but has a fatal flaw of being too slow. In the end, Lyon defeated him with a full-strength attack through continuous kite-fighting, which turned minor injuries into serious ones.

But the faceless man in front of him was not only as powerful as Leon, but his movements were even more erratic.

In the past, Leon's strategy of circling around didn't work at all. The Faceless Man's turning speed was much faster than Leon had imagined.

The sailors watching around could only stare blankly at the afterimages of the two men fighting on the deck. They couldn't tell who had the upper hand, but they couldn't help but worry for Leon, the night watchman.

After all, the Faceless Men's reputation on the continent of Essos has reached the point where even a child can stop crying. So far, it seems that none of the targets targeted by the Faceless Men have survived.

I just don’t know if Lyon will be the exception.

In fact, after dozens of moves, Leon could feel that his strength was actually above that of the Faceless Man, but the Faceless Man's dagger was too insidious and flexible. The dagger was only slightly longer than a dagger, and as fast as lightning. Coupled with the Faceless Man's body movements, it was like countless poisonous snakes lurking at Leon's side.

Although an inch longer is an inch stronger, Leon's one-handed sword skill has reached the maximum level and can crush the faceless man in front of him.

But Leon didn't know what the Faceless Man was thinking. There were several times when Leon's Black and White Kiss could easily kill the opponent, but the opponent didn't dodge at all and also only stabbed Leon's vital points.

It seems that for the Faceless Men, as long as they achieve the goals given to them by the Thousand-Faced God, everything else, including their own life and death, is not that important.

If he hadn't taken this into consideration, Lyon would have defeated his opponent in just ten moves.

As Leon was thinking, his attention was distracted. The Faceless Man in front of him naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. He raised his hand to block, allowing Leon's sword to chop his arm. At the same time, the dagger in his hand pierced Leon's throat...

“It’s…over!”

The merchant stared in amazement at Leon and the Faceless Man who had stopped fighting.

On the deck, the two men were still in the last move of their fight. Leon's black and white kiss was extremely sharp, and it was not something that a mortal body could block. Half of the faceless man's arm fell to the ground, and a shockingly huge wound was cut on his chest.

And Lyon...

Before the Faceless Man's dagger pierced Leon's neck, Leon slightly dodged the sword at the critical moment, and the dagger only cut a layer of skin, leaving a white mark.

……

The Faceless Man fell to the ground, and a look of surprise finally appeared on his expressionless face, as if he felt that the attack he had risked his life for should not have missed.

Then, the blood-soaked faceless man's eyes gradually lost focus...

The fight on the ship obviously alarmed the night watchmen at the dock on the shore, and a large number of night watchmen and Lyon's men boarded the ship one after another.

After seeing the bloody scene on the deck, especially his superior's neck injury, he immediately controlled everyone on the boat and took them all ashore.

Cotter Pyke presided over the trial on behalf of Lyon. Although the merchant repeatedly claimed that he was innocent, he and his men were still charged with intentional injury to the Night's Watch. They were all sent to Eastwatch by the Sea to serve as Night's Watch to atone their sins.

However, the merchant was allowed to leave Donghaiwang on a small boat only after paying a large ransom. After all, he still had to complete the task assigned to him by Lyon. He had signed a contract with Lyon. If he violated the contract, it would be a loss of face for the Free Trade City-State. As for the merchant's ship, it was naturally confiscated by the Donghaiwang Navy.

……

In the private room of the Grass Tavern, which seemed to have become the office of the captain of the Eastwatch garrison, Carter Pike smiled and pushed a purse to Lyon at the table.

"Haha, this Braavos merchant is really rich. He has more than 1,400 gold dragons in cash alone. Once I sell the goods on his ship, I'll be rich." Although it was Lyon who was attacked and Cotter Pyke did nothing but talk, this is Eastwatch after all, so he must give Cotter Pyke some face.

So even though Leon knew that more than two thousand gold royals were seized from the merchant's ship, he accepted the bag of money in front of him without batting an eyelid.

However, Lyon also imperceptibly wrote down the greedy Carter Pike in front of him in his little notebook.

"You dare to steal my money? I think you are ready to die!" Lyon thought to himself, but did not show it.

Ming still smiled and asked, "This kind of trivial matter can be handed over to my adjutant, Specium. It seems that Lord Carter should have something else to tell me, right?"

Lyon's casual question really made Carter Pike's face change several times, and then his eyes turned and looked at Lyon.

"My raven here has received two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"It's bitter first, sweet later. What's the bad news?"

"The patrol team that set out from Black Iron Castle was almost wiped out, and... Old Xiong died..."

Cotter Pike spoke so calmly that Leon couldn't even hear the sadness in his heart when he said this, or perhaps there was none at all.

"Old Xiong... Commander-in-Chief, is he dead?" Upon hearing the news, Lyon stood up in disbelief. Although Lyon, as a time traveler, knew clearly what was going on, he still pretended to be a normal person at this moment.

In the face of Lyon's performance, Carter Pike nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal Lyon to sit down.

"According to several Night's Watchmen who escaped from the snowfields, the death of Old Bear was unusual. Those frightened Night's Watchmen said it was the White Walkers, some said it was the Wildlings, and some said he was killed by traitors. In short, no matter which answer is correct, it cannot change the fact that Old Bear is really dead."

Carter Pike's tone was calm with a hint of joking, and it was impossible to tell from his words that he still had any respect for Old Bear.

"So what's the good news?" Lyon did not continue to ask about the cause of Mr. Xiong's death.

"As for the good news, Lord Ned Stark, the Guardian of the North, is dead. Thanks to his treason, even if there are more deserters in the Night's Watch, the Northern lords will not chase them like dogs as they did in the past."

"It seems we can make a deal. With my connections in the Night's Watch, it will be no problem for me to get you the position of commander-in-chief. And you will turn a blind eye to my and my men going to Braavos to be mercenaries. After all, so many castles on the Wall have been lost, and we don't mind having another Eastwatch-by-the-Sea!"

Perhaps because he felt that Leon did not immediately swear to go north to find out the cause of Bear's death and avenge him, Cotter Pike finally revealed his purpose.
