Chapter 236: Another assassination attempt by the Faceless

Bachelor Basiu's tent looked inconspicuous in the camp. It was originally a tent that could accommodate eight soldiers. For the bachelor who accompanied the army, having such a separate space was considered a good treatment.

The material of the tent is ordinary canvas, the color is slightly dulled by long-term exposure to wind and sun. It is fixed with a few wooden stakes around it. The curtain at the tent door is somewhat worn and sways gently with the breeze.

From the outside, the tent is of medium size. Although it can accommodate multiple people, the interior space is quite spacious for a single person.

Bachelor Basiu walked to the tent, gently opened the tent curtain, made an invitation gesture, and said slightly apologetically: "Your Majesty, Queen, it's a little messy inside, please don't mind."

Gavin shook his head indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, you go find it, we will wait for you here."

There was something strange in the bachelor's eyes, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of intelligence records. Why don't you and the queen come in and wait."

Gavin and Daenerys followed Maester Basho into the tent without thinking much.

The space inside the tent is larger than it looks from the outside.

There was a simple desk placed in the center. The tabletop was somewhat worn and showed signs of use. There are several boxes of documents neatly stacked next to the desk.

In the corner of the tent, there was a simple blanket with some personal belongings placed on it. Although the space is relatively spacious, it seems a bit cluttered due to the large number of items piled up.

Bachelor Basiu walked to the box next to the desk, squatted down with his back to Gavin, opened the box, took out a pile of recorded books and documents from it, and put it aside.

At this moment, Gavin suddenly felt a strange wave of magic power, and he instantly became alert.

He remained calm on the surface and continued chatting with Daenerys, but he glanced at the tent calmly from the corner of his eye.

Then, he fixed his gaze firmly on the box that Bachelor Basho was rummaging through.

Gavin slowly placed his hand on the hilt of Daybreak's sword, and his fingers were like agile snakes, holding the hilt tightly.

There was a real vigilance in his eyes, like two sharp cold rays that could penetrate all disguises.

His body leaned forward slightly, his muscles tensed, just like a cheetah lurking in the grass, ready to attack, staring intently at the prey in front of him, ready to respond to possible dangers with the fastest speed and the most fierce offensive. .

His eyes were as bright as a torch, locked on Bachelor Basiu who was busy rummaging through documents, and he asked in a low and hoarse voice: "How long have you been a bachelor?"

Bachelor Basiu was immersed in rummaging through the documents and did not look back. He was still searching the box with all his concentration. He just answered unhurriedly while rummaging through the documents: "Your Majesty, including the apprenticeship, it is less than two years. I studied with Bachelor Keben and worked as his assistant for a year, and I didn’t officially become a bachelor until this year.”

After hearing this, Gavin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and his eyes instantly became even colder, like a frozen lake in the dead of winter, deep and cold.

He said coldly: "Why do I feel that you have not been a bachelor for a long time, but you have been a faceless man for a long time?"

As Gavin's words fell, Bachelor Basiu's body froze as if he was suddenly struck by lightning. The movement of searching for documents in his hands stopped instantly. His whole body seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and he stood frozen in place. land.

He slowly turned his head, his movements were slow and stiff, his face was full of disbelief, he looked at Gavin with wide eyes, and asked: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" There was deep surprise in his tone.

Gavin did not answer his question, but with a stern look on his face, he slowly pulled out the Dawn Sword from its scabbard.

The cold light reflected from the sword flickered in the tent, and then locked onto Bachelor Basiu.

Daenerys was still immersed in doubt at first and did not react.

When she heard Gavin's questioning words, she suddenly realized.

Her eyes widened instantly, like a frightened deer, with a nervous look on her face. Without thinking, she quickly took two steps back and quickly hid behind Gavin, as if Gavin's back was her only safe haven.

When Bachelor Basiu saw this, the original panic on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by calm.

He stood up slowly, his posture tall and calm, and his eyes revealed a trace of curiosity, as if he was very interested in the way Gavin discovered his identity. He asked: "Can you tell me how you discover someone's identity?"

Gavin stared at Bachelor Basho, his eyes full of disgust and disdain, and did not intend to answer his question, but said coldly: "Although I know that it is unlikely that the Faceless Men will surrender, I still want to give it a try. If you would tell me how you lurked in and when you became Bachelor Bashu? How many faceless men are there lurking here? I can spare your life."

After hearing this, Bachelor Bashu shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and looked at Gavin and said: "Gavin Belerys, can the mighty Dragon King of Valyria also lie to others? Do you think my lord doesn't know that you are investigating? His residence? Do you think you will be safe after committing blasphemy? Why do you think someone came here specifically?”

Gavin saw this and stopped talking nonsense.

He did not look back, but lightly patted Daenerys back with his left hand. With a hint of determination in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Get out quickly!"

Daenerys looked at Gavin worriedly, her eyes full of concern and reluctance. She knew very well that she could not cause trouble to Gavin at this time. If she stayed here, she might become a constraint for Gavin and affect his performance.

She gritted her teeth, turned around quickly, and hurried out of the tent.

As Daenerys left the tent, Maester Barthou rushed towards Gavin like a black lightning.

Gavin reacted quickly and immediately swung his sword to the opponent's throat. The blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, intending to cut off his head with one sword.

However, Maester Barthou's body made an extremely strange movement. He leaned back and bent his body into an incredible angle as if he had no bones. He easily avoided this fatal blow.

Then, regardless of the possible injury to his left hand, he quickly grabbed the sword of Dawn and pulled it hard, trying to stop Gavin from retreating so as to create a better opportunity for himself to attack.

At the same time, at some point, a sharp dagger suddenly slipped from his sleeve to his right hand and stabbed Gavin without hesitation.

Gavin did not retreat, and his eyes revealed calmness.

His right arm holding the sword shook violently, and a powerful force was transmitted along the sword. The fingers of Bashu's left hand were cut off instantly, and several broken fingers splashed in the air, and blood gushed out.

Just when the dagger was about to get close to Gavin, a silver light flashed, and Gavin skillfully knocked the dagger away with the sword. Blood was pouring from the broken fingers, and the piercing pain came from his left hand. Bashu, who had lost his weapon, had no intention of retreating. He approached Gavin with unabated momentum, with a smile of success on his face.

He knew that the power of the Faceless Man lies in the unexpected assassination. From the beginning, he had never thought of killing Gavin through a head-on confrontation. His purpose was just to get close, and at this moment he had achieved this goal. Gavin could not escape from this distance.

He bit the poison in his mouth hard and prepared to open his mouth to spray out the killer.

However, as early as when Bashu approached, Gavin felt the fluctuation of magic power contained in his mouth, and he was prepared in his heart.

Just as Maester Bashu was about to open his mouth, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in front of him.

With a loud "bang", Maester Bashu was blasted away fiercely. The flames poured into his mouth, and the poison that had not yet been sprayed out was instantly forced back by the heat wave.

Gavin took advantage of the situation and took two steps forward. He swung the sword in his hand again, and a flash of cold light flashed, and he chopped off Maester Bashu's head cleanly.

The head rolled to the ground, and blood gushed out from the broken neck, staining the ground red.

At this time, the ground shook violently, and with a "whoosh", the whole tent was pulled up from the ground by a powerful force.

Gavin looked up and saw that it was Viserion. It was obvious that Daenerys brought the dragon as soon as she went out.

Daenerys looked at Maester Bashu, whose head and body were separated, and Gavin, who was safe and sound, and her tense mood finally relaxed.

She quickly jumped off the dragon's back, ran towards Gavin, hugged Gavin, and asked anxiously, "Are you not hurt?"

Gavin smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry." Then he gently held Daenerys's little head and kissed her forehead.

The panel thought, searched for intelligence, although it was useless to guess, found the exact location, the building was empty, ordered it to be demolished, arrested all believers and monks, and talked with Daenerys at night.

In another tent, at this time, Gavin and Daenerys were sitting at the table and waiting quietly. This was a place where an officer usually rested and worked on weekdays, and was temporarily requisitioned by Gavin.

The space in the tent was not spacious. There was a simple wooden table in the middle. The tabletop was uneven, and it was obviously used a lot. Several shabby chairs were around the table, and some sundries for marching and fighting were randomly piled in the corner.

Gavin's eyes were fixed on the content displayed on the panel, with concentration and contemplation in his eyes.

If he hadn't noticed the strange magic fluctuations this time, he wouldn't have discovered the invisible improvement of his bloodline.

As the bloodline development climbed to more than 90%, although no specific abilities appeared, his perception was greatly enhanced, making him extremely sensitive to the subtle magic fluctuations around him, just like suddenly having eyes that can see through everything in the dark.

Gavin guessed that the subsequent abilities were most likely related to perception.

At this moment, the curtain in the tent was gently lifted, and a military scholar walked in respectfully.

He was wearing a plain robe, and his steps were a little anxious. As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed to Gavin and Daenerys who was sitting next to him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Queen, this is the information I just found from the tent of Basil the Scholar as you requested."

As he spoke, the bachelor took two steps forward, carefully held a piece of parchment in his hands, and handed it to Gavin. Gavin reached out and took the parchment, glanced at it quickly, and then frowned slightly, as if he noticed something strange from this brief information.

Daenerys looked at Gavin's expression with a worried look on her face and couldn't help but said: "Gavin, could this information be false? Is it a trap? Just like that Bachelor Basho ?" There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice. After all, she had experienced a thrilling assassination at Bachelor Basiu's place before.

Gavin shook his head slightly after hearing this, handed the document in his hand back to the bachelor and said, "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false now. Even if there is a temple of the Thousand-Faced God, it should have been emptied out."

After that, he raised his head again, looked at the bachelor with a stern expression, and ordered in a serious tone: "Notify Hassan, send troops to search this address, if no one is inside, demolish the building, and then issue a city-wide wanted order to search for people." All followers and monks of the Many-Faced God will be rewarded with 100 gold dragons."

The bachelor bowed again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he hurried out of the tent.

As the tent curtain fell, the previous silence returned to the tent.

Daenerys frowned, her eyes full of worry. She looked at Gavin uneasily, and said with anxiety in her tone: "Gavin, I'm really worried. I always feel that there are other faceless men hiding." There is a Bachelor Basiu around us. I don’t know how many faceless ones are watching us in the dark.”

After hearing this, Gavin's expression became more solemn. He lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Yes, I'm afraid there are quite a few faceless men hiding around us, but don't worry, the main target of the faceless men is It’s me. They usually don’t harm anyone other than the target.” As he spoke, he raised his head and told Daenerys with concern, “However, you should be more careful during this time. Normally. So take the Blood Dragon Guard I gave you, so that I can feel more at ease."

After hearing this, Daenerys looked at Gavin with a worried look and said eagerly: "Gavin, you should let the Blood Dragon Guard protect you during this period. The target of the Thousand Faced God is obviously you. If the God of Many Faces wants to kill me, Bachelor Basiu has had countless opportunities to do so, but he has never done anything to me, which means they are mainly focused on you."

After hearing this, Gavin shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry about me. The Faceless Men alone can't hurt me now. It's your safety. No matter how small the possibility is, you must take precautions."

Daenerys nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Gavin, I will pay attention." After a pause, she looked at Gavin again and asked, "Then how long will we stay in Myr? "

Gavin thought for a while and replied: "Probably in these two days. After all, this place has just been conquered, it is better to stay and sit for a while, and wait for Hassan to arrange things before marching to Volantis."
