Give Me the Name of God

After accepting Che Erdan, Manda asked him a question: "You have been lurking in the Conqueror's Castle for so long, why haven't you taken action on the treasury? Is it because you have not gained Mirada's trust?"

Che Erdan cleared his throat and said: "I know you are not ridiculing me, but if you think that I can't even deal with a stupid woman, it would be too contemptuous of me. The reason why I haven't attacked the treasury is that I don't have any There is a way to transport the gold coins away. There are bandits ten miles away from the royal capital. The further away, the more bandits there are. Thousands of gold coins are enough for the bandits to fight for everything. After being defeated by the God Punisher, I lost all my subordinates. There was no way I could transport the gold coins to a safe place without help.”

While speaking, Che Erdan glanced at Manda. He was smart and understood that he wanted to know Manda's method of selling off the stolen goods.

"Don't look at me. How could I tell you such a thing?"

"You can try to use islands on the River Styx, but those islands are too small to hold many gold coins. If you want to share an island with other people to transport gold coins, you must ensure that that person is absolutely reliable. In front of me, I don’t think anyone is reliable.”

Manda almost hit someone. How come this guy knows everything? In order not to let him know too much, Manda decided to find something for him to do.

"Go and see what's going on in the east of the city. I want to know the reaction of the Grand Inspector and the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

"This makes me a little embarrassed," Cerdan said with embarrassment. "You know, I have to avoid those people."

"Don't worry, you are mine now. If you encounter an accident, I will save you."

Che Erdan did not dare to disobey Manda's order, because the fire in the tavern at dusk was related to an old beggar, and the entire east of the city was arresting beggars. Che Erdan could only change his clothes, pretend to be a coachman, and drive the carriage to the east of the city.

Manda returned to the bedroom, locked the door, and summoned the old goat with silver coins and mercury.

"Dear guest, long time no see. Do you like your life in the royal capital?"

Manda was startled: "Do you know that I have come to the capital?" Since arriving in the capital, this is the first time that Manda has summoned the old goat. According to past experience, the old goat will not know about Manda before being summoned. position, otherwise He would not have been struck by lightning in the palace of Zeus.

"Yes, I know, because you did something that made the gods a little dissatisfied."

Manda's heart tightened, he knew that it was about killing the twenty-two thieves.

"Is our god angry? I have no choice but to kill them."

"It's not a last resort. You set a trap for them to jump in. It doesn't matter. The gods are so partial to you. This sin can be forgiven. But the worst thing is that one of them is a descendant of the gods. By."

Are there those favored by Hermes among those thieves? Was he killed by himself in such a daze? Manda was covered in cold sweat and trembling as she looked at the old goat and said, "I, I really don't know."

"Fortunately, the God's Favored One has not yet entered the level. It is also his fault that he made the wrong choice. However, his mistakes cannot offset your mistakes. Manda, raise your head and tell me solemnly, do you realize your mistake? ?”

Manda nodded and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Are you ready for punishment?"

Manda took a deep breath and asked, "Are you ready?"

"You have two choices. The first choice is to turn you into a woman and then give birth to a child within a year. After giving birth to the child, you can change back to a man."

"I choose the second one." Manda made a decisive choice.

The old goat sighed and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a woman, and it's only for a year."

"I'd rather choose the second one."

"Well, for the second option, one of your achievements will be offset."

Manda was startled, then said happily: "Do I still have merit?"

"Yes," the old goat smiled, "you stole more than 10,000 gold coins from two high-ranking officials in the royal capital without using too much violence. What you did was very similar to what he did when he was young. Our God is very pleased with this.”

Achievements in childhood? Manda had read a lot of books recently, and he quickly thought of a record about Hermes.

"Are you saying that our god stole Apollo's cow when he was a newborn?"

The old goat smiled and said: "Yes, this achievement can save you one-fifth of your spiritual path. Are you sure you want to give up?"

After reaching the fourth level, Manda could hardly see the increase in experience bar. Now it can increase by one-fifth at once, which sounds very tempting.

But Manda really didn't want to become a woman, let alone have children, so he insisted on his idea. The old goat sighed and stroked Manda's head with his hand, and a beam of golden light was caught in his hand.

"You have been punished and that is the end of the matter, but you must learn your lesson."

Manda defended himself and said: "I killed many bandits in Qixing Mountain, but the gods were not angry. I killed all the bandits on Tachila Mountain, and the gods also gave me a reward."

"Bandits and thieves are two different types of people. Bandits rely on violence to plunder. Our God hates them very much, so they are naturally not protected."

Manda shook his head and said: "I don't understand. What kind of people will be protected by gods? To put it more simply, who can't be killed?"

The old goat said: "Let me give you a reminder, thieves, businessmen, travelers, and shepherds are all protected by God, but they are not incapable of killing.

You killed a businessman named Salwan in Qixing Mountain. He was also a favored person by the gods, but the gods did not blame you. You killed the thief Khamis, and the gods still did not blame you.

You can kill people who provoke you, hurt you, or even threaten your life without any scruples, but the favored person last night has no ill intentions towards you. He just doesn’t want to go to Qixing Mountain with you, and He regretted it when he saw the blood stains outside the door. It's a pity that you didn't give him a chance. If you could give him one more choice, even if you asked one more question, the anger of the gods would subside. It's a pity that you didn't do that. "

Manda understood Hermes's thoughts. From his standpoint, he naturally hoped that the more believers the better, and he cherished special believers such as God's Favored Ones even more.

But what should you do if you encounter someone favored by God next time?

Of course, he would still kill him, and at most he would be punished once more. From Manda's point of view, there was nothing wrong with having one less competitor.

Seeing Manda bowing his head in silence, the old goat smiled and said: "Stop complaining. Fortunately, it is me who inflicts punishment. If He did it himself, it would make you miserable. What do you want to do by calling me out? Is it just to admit your mistake?" "

Manda wanted to expand the size of the Styx Island. A place the size of a brick could hold at most fifty gold coins. If he wanted to transport more than ten thousand gold coins, the efficiency was too low.

"That's easy to say." Old Goat expanded the area of ​​the Styx Island to sixteen bricks, and the price remained unchanged.

Manda still has a question to ask: "I have accepted a follower of Athena as a subordinate. This is the first time I have met a follower of Athena. I have a little bit..."

"Are you a little scared?" The old goat smiled, "If you encounter a powerful opponent with force, you must be cautious with your current strength. If you encounter an opponent with strong intelligence, you should not be afraid. Followers of Hermes should not be afraid. Will lose to others in wisdom.

Make good use of your subordinates. The followers of Athena will be your weapon, but you must be careful of the followers of Hera. Do remember this advice. "

"Believers of Hera?" Manda was startled, "Are they very powerful?"

The old goat shook his head and said: "Not every god has reason. I can't talk too much about the Queen of Heaven. Just remember my advice. Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Manda took out a piece of parchment with two words written on it.

The old goat glanced at it: "Nilansmaiyu, you want related books? I just have a set here."

"I bought it!" Manda didn't ask the price, "I need to read more books."
