Even so, it still took Liu Yuan more than an hour to empty the entire underground vault. With his unremitting efforts, he finally cleared out all the treasures. Not only that, Liu Yuan also deliberately placed a large amount of gunpowder in the more vulnerable positions of the vault cave. The power of these Ice and Fire World version of black gunpowder is much weaker, and once detonated, it is enough to blow a hole in the upper layer.
When everything was ready, Liu Yuan returned to the Black and White Courtyard along the same route. Along the way, he saw corpses scattered all over the ground, but fortunately, no one noticed anything unusual happening here.
Suddenly, his eyes turned to the center of the hall. With strong curiosity, Liu Yuan walked towards the huge column in the center. He stretched out his right hand and took down the mysterious and strange mask placed high up. The mask showed a deep purple tone and exuded a strange aura. The moment he held the mask, a strange feeling came to his heart, as if the space around him had solidified in an instant.
Liu Yuan carefully turned the mask in his hand and examined it carefully. With his keen intuition and experience, he was sure that it was not made of human skin. Just as he tried to touch the mask with his own strength, an amazing scene happened: the ghost face suddenly shattered into countless tiny light spots flashing with purple light, and quickly sank into his skin like a bird returning to its nest.
Faced with such an unexpected event, Liu Yuan did not panic. After a check, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body. After all, in this strange world, all kinds of strange things emerge in an endless stream. With his current strength, there is really no need to be too afraid. So, he quickly put the matter behind him, turned around and strode out of the Black and White Courtyard.
Shortly after he left, the gunpowder that had been prepared suddenly exploded. The violent explosion was fully released in the narrow and closed room, and it blasted a not-so-wide crack in the hard rock above.
Then, a large amount of surging seawater poured in continuously like a flood. Because the crack was small, the speed of the water flow was relatively slow, but its momentum could not be underestimated.
However, the loud noise was like a thunder that broke through the night sky, deafening not only alarming the soldiers on patrol outside, but even the residents of half of the city were startled and looked around.
The soldiers arrived at the scene and noticed that a huge whirlpool was rapidly forming in a river not far away.
In the blink of an eye, the river that was originally as calm as a mirror became turbulent and turbid, and the boats anchored on both sides were swallowed up and swept into it like toys.
Faced with such a horrifying sight, everyone present was dumbfounded, stunned, and their astonishment was beyond words. After coming to their senses, the soldiers knew that there was no time to lose, so they hurriedly reported the matter to their superiors. As the news spread layer by layer, it soon reached the key keeper of the Iron Bank. He was frightened and pale, and soon realized that it was right above the secret vault. Oh my God! The sea water was pouring back.
The order was quickly conveyed to the vault guards, and only then did they realize that the vault door could not be opened, and they tried everything they could to get in but failed.
The Braavos leaders originally thought that the disaster was caused by an earthquake. When they were about to send people to the House of Black and White and go down the secret passage to check the damage, they saw corpses all over the ground, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
A large number of city guards were mobilized, the main streets were placed under martial law, and the entire city was instantly thrown into chaos.
At this moment, Liu Yuan has returned safely to the army base. The wealth he harvested tonight was accumulated by the Iron Bank over hundreds of years. After deducting the loans he had taken out, at least 80% of the savings were still swept away by him.
At this moment, Liu Yuan's mind was working rapidly, planning the next move. After all, the loss of such a huge amount of property is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Iron Bank, which will inevitably put it in a precarious situation for a long period of time in the future. If it is not careful, it may trigger an irresistible run on the bank.
Not only that, the money that has already been lent out must also be recovered. The more difficult problem is how to return the many precious items stored in the vault? These problems are headaches for the Iron Bank.
In the luxurious study, Liu Yuan was reading a letter. Seeing Syrio coming in with Arya, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Welcome back, Syrio. You have met Arya, and she has been talking about you. How about this surprise?"
"Yes! What a big surprise!" Arya said weakly.
Liu Yuan frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"
Arya turned pale, shook her head gently, and whispered, "No, I was poisoned. I bled myself."
Syrio nodded to Liu Yuan, carefully helped Arya sit down on the chair, and then told Liu Yuan the whole story in detail.
Liu Yuan listened quietly, and after Syrio finished speaking, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, Liu Yuan finally spoke to break the silence: "Arya, the House of Black and White should not trouble you again. You have proved your courage and determination with practical actions. It is meaningless for you to continue to stay here and receive training from the Faceless Men. I plan to go to the Wall in a few days. Will you go with me?"
Arya lowered her head and thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "No, I want to go to King's Landing. There are still some unfinished things waiting for me to deal with." Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she had already made the decision.
Liu Yuan nodded, showing that he understood and respected Arya's choice. He patted Arya on the shoulder and comforted her, "Okay! Since this is your decision, I won't force it. However, if you are in danger, you must go to Thorn Castle immediately to find Rickon. He is there now and can give you the necessary help. There is one more thing..." At this point, Liu Yuan walked up to Arya and held her hand tightly.
Instantly, a powerful force surged from Liu Yuan's palm, spreading rapidly throughout Arya's body like an electric current. Then, a drop of black blood was forced out from her fingertips and fell into Liu Yuan's hand.
Arya's complexion gradually returned to its rosy color. She looked at Teacher Garlon with gratitude and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Garlon. I am fine now."
Liu Yuan nodded slightly to show that he understood. He said earnestly, "Since this is your decision, just go for it. But you should know that the current situation in King's Landing is very complicated. You must be careful in everything you do."
"Yes, I know." Arya nodded seriously and replied, "Don't worry, I will be extra careful."
Seeing this, Liu Yuan clapped his hands a few times and consoled them, "Okay, you've worked so hard all the way back, take a good rest first. We can talk about other things later."
After saying that, Liu Yuan turned around and left the study. Arya and Syrio also stood up and prepared to go back to their rooms.
"Arya, you really won't go to the Wall with us?" Syrio finally couldn't help but ask.
Arya's eyes were firm, and she answered without hesitation: "No, I have my own mission to complete. I once made a vow, and some debts must be repaid."
Syrio looked at Arya's determined eyes and knew that she had made up her mind and would not change it. "That's fine. No matter where you are, I will silently bless you and support you from afar." Syrio said slowly.
Arya raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile, and responded sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Syrio."
