"You're not dead?!" In the dark stone room filled with the smell of decay, the faceless one who had lost her face said in disbelief.
A young woman in her early twenties, bald, with a purplish-blue left eye that was swollen like a small steamed bun. Inside the eye socket was a tattered eyeball dripping with black blood. Her nose, forehead, cheeks, and chin had bruises and bruises. A few of her teeth were missing, and she spoke with a lisp.
The Unsullied did not mistreat her. The injuries on her face were caused by Danny's iron boots yesterday.
The assassination had happened yesterday. At this moment, it was already the morning of the second day after the naval battle.
Danny could vaguely see that the other party's original face was very ordinary. Her skin was rough, pale with a little sallow, just like all the poor women in the street.
Her facial features had the unique three-dimensional feeling of a westerner, but there was nothing special about it. Her nose was not high or flat, her mouth was not big or small, her eyes were not big or small, and her eyebrows were not thick or thin.
Her cheeks were square, and her intact right eye was light blue. It was different from Doreah's beautiful ocean-like deep blue.
"You were stabbed in the back by someone. Even if the stab was not deep, the poison must have entered your heart. The mixed poison of snake lizard and scorpion tail beast, and with the help of blood witchcraft, even the most robust gladiator would die within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after piercing the skin. "
"How did you survive?" The female assassin opened her single eye and carefully looked at Danny who had changed into a purple gauze dress.
Her hair was braided and tied to the back of her head, revealing a full forehead, a small heart-shaped face, rosy skin, and sharp eyes. She did not look like a poisoned person at all.
"You don't know this?" Danny opened her right hand and handed a purple crystal to the other party.
"What is it?" The assassin asked.
"Hmph, it seems that the faceless one is only so-so. You didn't even collect the most basic information." Danny sneered again and again.
"You -" The assassin was furious at first, but she immediately recovered her calm. Like a monk chanting "Amitabha", she lowered her eyes and whispered: "Valarmorghulis (All mortals have to die) …"
Danny's eyes flashed: She is really a faceless one, she admitted it.
After a while, the female Faceless One raised her head again and slowly asked, "What did someone neglect?"
"Before I left Queers, one of the Thirteen Titans, Lord Zaro, gave me a Magical Amethyst Necklace that can protect me from poison. Later on, I pried the magic crystal from the necklace and made it into a hairpin. I wore it on my head all the time.
I was indeed poisoned in the beginning, but although the Magical Amethyst Crystal isn't as miraculous as Sir Zaro said, it still forced the poison out of my body bit by bit, "Danny said calmly.
"Impossible!" The female assassin became excited again. "Only the powerful Red God Priests can create the Poison Avoidance Crystal, and they have to predict the toxins they will encounter in the future and prepare the corresponding antidote or magic in advance.
The story of the Magic Crystal's poison resistance was misunderstood and exaggerated countless times. It was impossible for it to defend against all poisons.
I already knew about the Magic Amethyst given to you by the people of Queers, but even if it's really a Magic Amethyst, you're not a Red Deity Priest. Otherwise, you would have predicted today's assassination, and I wouldn't have been able to hurt you at all. "
So it was like this, no wonder this broken crystal had no effect at all. Danny cursed Zaro ten thousand times in her heart.
To think that she had been wearing it on her head these past few days.
No matter how terrifying the Snake Lizard Poison and the Scorpion Tail Poison were, they were still biological poisons.
To put it bluntly, it was a kind of protein. Any protein would lose its activity when it encountered a high temperature of eight to nine hundred degrees.
Danny's cells, neurons, spinal cord, teeth, red blood cells, white blood cells, and even the amino acids and glucose in her blood could resist high temperatures. However, the things that were harmful to the human body would remain as they were.
Therefore, she often used fire to disinfect and kill mites, get rid of dead skin and calluses.
Other than its beauty effects, it could also aid digestion, increase cell activity, and absorb nutrients.
The higher the temperature, the more active the molecules. It was very scientific!
When her body temperature rose to two hundred degrees, the Snake Lizard Poison and the Scorpion Tail Poison would be broken down from protein into amino acids, which would be digested and absorbed by Danny.
However, she wouldn't say this to the female assassin. The Unsullied who were present at the time were also ordered to keep quiet.
It was better to let the enemy poison her than to cut off her head or dig out her heart.
"Whether you believe it or not, my magic crystal really has the effect of avoiding poison. Zaro himself also relied on it to avoid many assassination attempts by the Royal Family of Kars," Danny said indifferently.
Without waiting for the other party to say anything, she put away the purple crystal and asked, "Who hired you?"
"You think someone would know?" The female assassin sneered.
"As a Faceless, you don't even know who your employer is?" Danny said in disbelief.
"Humph, the Mother Of Dragons also lived in Braavos for a few years. Do you think that the House of Black and White only has one Unsullied?" The assassin sneered.
There was no doubt that as the world's number one assassin organization, and also openly doing business with the people of the world, the Faceless had at least a powerful government backing them. Moreover, they were also an extremely secretive organization.
The female assassin was very likely telling the truth. She was only a tool to carry out her mission. She didn't know who her employer was or why she wanted to kill the person involved.
Just like Arya Stark in Roaming Powers.
"What's your name?" Danny changed the question.
"Someone was called 'Doreah' before, but now I'm 'Nobody'." The female assassin revealed a strange smile.
Danny's eyes sharpened, and she said coldly, "Then, have you ever heard of someone called 'Aunt Katie'?"
"Hahaha, the fat cook who lives in Linhai Street?" The Faceless laughed in a low voice. "Yes, someone is also Aunt Katie."
A stranger definitely couldn't get close to Doreah, so last night Danny ordered an investigation of all the employees in the pyramid. As a result, they found that a fat cook named Katie was missing.
Obviously, the Faceless first sneaked into Astapor and found an opportunity to replace the cook, Katie. After coming into contact with Doreah, the identity of Katie was abandoned.
As for pretending to be a cook and poisoning the food …
Just like how few Emperors were poisoned to death by assassins, Barristan had also established a perfect food audit system for Dani.
"You're a Faceless, why are you cooperating with others?" Danny asked.
"Cooperation?" The female assassin cracked her ugly mouth that was missing a few teeth and sneered: "Faceless have no partners, but can borrow the strength of others to complete the mission."
Involuntarily, Danny thought of Erya's' old friend 'Jia Kun. He seemed to have been captured in King's Landing and was imprisoned in King's Landing's dark prison with two partners. However, his identity as a Faceless was unknown, and Jia Kun was only using the two villains to cover his true purpose.
"Do you know who you're cooperating with?"
The female assassin smiled proudly: "You should ask that person, ask him if he knows who he's cooperating with, hahaha …"
"Then, of the three dragon eggs in my treasury, You Lun only knows about one, what about the other two?" Danny said lightly.
At first, the Unsullied didn't notice that the dragon eggs were stolen at all. Later, under Danny's reminder, they returned to the treasury and seriously looked for Doreah buried under the gold coins, but to their horror, they found that the Queen's dragon eggs were also missing.
The assassin looked at Danny's face seriously and said strangely: "You're so calm after losing three dragon eggs?"
Because all three eggs were fake.
She hadn't thrown away the fragments left behind by the dragon hatching. When she was in Quars, she met an Asian peddler who sold fake dragon eggs, so she learned his method and glued three broken stone eggs together into a complete dragon egg. Even the color of the egg changed.
The brass dragon egg used to exchange for the Unsullied was fake, and even You Lun didn't recognize it.
At first, the three unsophisticated maids didn't know about this matter, because Danny wasn't sure who she would use it to deceive next time, or when she would sell it for money.
The maidservant's impromptu reaction might give her away her great scheme of fraud.
But after defeating Astapor … Well, Benevolent Lord fell, and Danny was full.
She didn't need to use the fake eggs to cheat money anymore. The three missing stone eggs were casually thrown into the treasury by the maids, together with the dozens of boxes of gems.
As for the brass dragon egg seized from You Lun, it was always in Danny's bedroom. She hugged it to sleep almost every day, waiting for it to hatch slowly.
Of course, Doreah knew which one was fake and which one was real, but obviously, Reese's maid wasn't stupid. Instead, she was a little smart, and at the last moment of her life, she tricked the Faceless … Oh, no, the one who wanted the dragon egg must be You Lun.
Not only did that guy not give up on the Dragon's Horn, he also didn't want to give up the brass dragon egg.
That's right, Dragon Binder + Dragon Whelp, a perfect match!
But unfortunately …
Danny sneered in her heart, but her expression was still indifferent. She said, "I can't even control three dragons, so what's the use of a few more wild dragons?
And … the price of hatching a dragon is too high. I have to exchange the soul of the closest person from the Night Kingdom for the spirit of the dead dragon of old, just like my black dragon, Bellerion's reincarnation. "
At this point, she couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression and said sadly, "If I had a choice, I'd rather have a dragon than a dragon."
Danny's performance infected the female Faceless. She suddenly said, "No wonder you locked the dragon egg in the box and didn't ask about it. The dragon egg wasn't the target of my mission. It was all in the flower bed and was taken away by that person along with the horn. "
"Well, you've answered my questions, and I've also told you a lot of secrets. Now, you only have a little value left." Danny raised her index finger and said coldly, "Tell me the secret of the Faceless, and I may spare your life."
"Hehehe, all mortals have to die!" The female Assassin closed her only eye and sneered.
"I hope you can keep persevering, Hattar, and serve her well."
"Pa, pa, pa!" The strong man walked out of the shadows and grinned. "Her Majesty the Queen, there's no mouth in this world that the Devil's Tail can't open!"
Danny didn't waste too much time on the Faceless. There were still thousands of sailors waiting to be recruited at the dock!
Last night, before the Guise fleet left, they released a signal to the sailors gathered at the dock area, and thousands of people swarmed to the sea.
Well, when the sailors swam to the dock after falling into the sea, they didn't want to attack the city of Astapor. They didn't even have a weapon, so how could they attack the six or seven meters high city wall?
They were mainly worried that as soon as they climbed onto the allied warships, they would immediately be attacked by the Megalosaurus.
Of course, they also didn't want Danny to surrender. When the fleet left at night, they swam to the fleet in the sea.
The Guise people were right. At night, the sky was dark, and the ships were moving slowly, so the giant Molotov missiles naturally failed.
But Danny had already made arrangements for this. The three Megalosaurus immediately changed, and dozens of beer bottle sized pots were tied together, like a bunch of grapes.
The Megalosaurus flew at a height of five hundred meters, and the ships on the sea could be vaguely seen. The "grape bombs" fell to the sea in the form of heavenly maidens scattering flowers. There would always be a few bottles smashing on the sails, and then the ships would lie down.
In this way, the Guise fleet not only failed to rescue the sailors who had fallen into the sea before, but also lost seven or eight ships.
The Guise people were too greedy. At dusk, after the black dragon fell into the sea, the three dragons closed for a period of time. At that time, if they escaped, they could save 80% of the sailors gathered at the dock.
However, not only did the Guise fleet not leave, but they also thought that Danny had died and began to approach the coast to launch the fiercest attacks on the city wall. Therefore, although Chora was worried about Danny's safety, he had been holding on for more than half an hour before leaving the battlefield.
Well, Danny was burned for a few minutes and regained consciousness. The three dragons were keenly aware of the situation of their "mother", and under the leadership of Big Black, they returned to the dock to continue to be bombers.
