The war between the faceless men and the Valyrian Blood Mages is very old, the organization emerged and was created among the slaves of the 14 flames. (Fact!) During this war, someone took advantage of the conflict and used the Faceless Men for their own purpose. (fic) After the end of Valyria, the Faceless Men retreated to Braavos and kept a lower profile using all the gold they obtained in Valyria to make the Iron Bank grow while continuing to accept assassination contracts. (fact) In the novel this also happens, but the Faceless Men know they messed up, and are more cautious with wizards from all over the world. What will happen in the future about this whole situation is something I can't tell you much, without giving spoilers about the entire main plot of the fic...

A small spoiler: Chapters 58, 59 and 60 are called: The Order of the Sages :)
As you can see, there are two Blood Mages guarding and watching over the place. Of course, Rafael doesn't know this, but just having the knights there makes it very risky for his current self. But don't worry, the Valyrians' legacy of blood magic won't be missed by the MC as he finds other paths in Asshai.
I understand what he's saying between the lines, so I finish the passenger registration to prepare for the loot. Before that, I review the passenger list one last time. We have 108 passengers and a baby, it should have been 110. I'm a little over the goal of having only 100 people, but remembering that there are almost 15 children and teenagers, we should be fine. I return to my cabin and empty my inventory, put on my full leather armor, just replacing the bracers with metal ones. I equip the pistol again, leave 2 loaded crossbows in the inventory just in case, and I'm finally ready. My inventory should be enough for the 10 tons we need, but I plan on collecting three times that. I just don't know if we'll have time to board with everything.

The coins were in their bags, the largest value in the safe was in the slave ownership contract, properties and the merchant's documents.
Then I call Omar and we go together to Fatty Zhang's cabin to look at the contents of Fat Brown's 3 safes. Once inside the cabin, I finally use the keys the blacksmith gave me and manage to open all 3 safes. I'm sad to see that they all contain a lot of paper and little money. Even the Browns' bags had more money than the safes. It makes sense, after all, it's better to keep everything with you when you have a theft-proof bag. We divide the few coins and leave the only gold bar for Fatty Zhang, who is a little short on money compared to me and Omar. Adding up everything I have now, I have over 1,300 gold coins. I leave them and say goodbye, reminding them about dinner in my cabin tonight.

Last day in Valyria part 2
Book&Literature · RedSage
Hello everyone, I'm the author of this fic. Today, volume 1 was completed and I came here to leave my review for those of you who want to read the novel. After arriving in Valyria, the MC makes a huge effort to collect all the resources he can before the 7-day deadline ends. He is also preparing a ship and a crew for the long journey to Asshai. On top of that, he also has the system quests. While the MC takes care of all this, we see an incredibly rich and full of life Valyria through the eyes of other characters. Faceless men fighting against the cruel Blood Mages, crime lords, dragon riders, minor nobles, merchants, a woman who seeks revenge for her past, a Velaryon who did not flee to Westeros, and many other minor characters who experience firsthand all the consequences of the MC's actions in these last days of Old Valyria. If you don't like multiple POV then this is not a read for you.
The butterfly effect was just a basic explanation and an example for the members of the Order who have 0 knowledge of time and space. If I followed it to the letter then the conquest wouldn't even happen... This limitation of avoiding Westeros is fair, because there is a chance that each of these members will become another Kalindor in the future. Now whether or not there will be interference in Westeros by the MC himself in any of these events is another situation for the future of the fic that I can't talk about right now...
