Give Me the Name of God

Stanley is not a favored one. It took him decades to reach the fourth level. He is not even a gifted believer.

Moreover, Hades already has a human messenger, and his name as a god has a destination in the human world. A full-level believer obtained the artifact, gained eternal life, and became Hades's representative in the human world.

To Hades, Stanley was just a high-level believer and had no other meaning.

But this time, Stanley received the favor of the gods. Hades told him that there was a treasure buried deep in the mountains and asked him to dig it out within three days. Stanley was so excited that he didn't even wear any clothes and rushed into the forest with a shovel.

This is no ordinary treasure, but a gift from God, a gift completely customized for Stanley.

There are stone statues that have been promoted to the fifth level, there are sacrifices, and knowing that Stanley’s cultivation speed is very slow, even the pure divine blood stone is ready.

Lulian was a little uneasy. She didn't understand why the gods gave Stanley such meticulous care.

Stanley still felt that it was not perfect because the stone statue was engraved with cipher text.

"I don't even know what language this is. I have to send a letter to Manda and ask Kunta to help me decipher the cipher text."

Stanley no longer wants to pursue the enemy. Now there are a lot of fourth-level soldiers on Qixing Mountain. He feels that his position is in jeopardy and nothing is more important than promotion.

Returning to Bluestone City, he immediately handed the stone statue to Cerdan and asked him to hand it over to Manda through the Styx Island. Cerdan was a little surprised after getting the stone statue. He reminded Stanley to be more cautious, but he saw Stanley A vicious look.

"Are you sure it's your turn to teach me? Do you think I didn't see the things you did before?"

Cerdan did not dare to say anything more and quickly handed the stone statue to Manda through the Styx Island.

Lulian felt relieved. Manda was not a person who suffered easily, and he would help Stanley make the right decision.

Manda had just arrived at the City of Wonderful Sound. Brayton mobilized some soldiers to build up momentum for Manda. Manda made a careful plan before entering the city. He checked the documents repeatedly and thought out every detail in it. He gave an explanation and a very detailed conception of the entire incident. He was confident that the Grand Duke's family and retainers would accept the identity of the Grand Administrative Officer. However, after entering the city, he found that all preparations were in vain.

The Grand Duke's wife and children did not greet him and did not intend to meet him, as if Manda did not exist at all.

The ministers of the Grand Duke also kept a distance from Manda. They read the documents without making any comments. They sent Manda some gifts such as spices and wine, and then went back to their respective homes.

This cold treatment method was unexpected by Manda, and all previous preparations were meaningless.

At night, Manda stayed in Bretton's house, holding a wine bottle and looking sad.

When he was bored, he opened the Styx Island and saw Stanley's letters and stone statue.

In the letter, Stanley detailed the process of obtaining the stone statue, and also made a request for Quinta to translate the cipher text.

Manda didn't have such an extreme reaction to this stone statue. Although it was indeed a little weird, Manda felt that he couldn't miss the advantage he deserved. This was a reward from Hades to Stanley. If he refused it, it would be a shame. ?

Manda wrote a reply to Stanley. He agreed to Stanley's request and asked Stanley to return to Seven Star Mountain at the right time, and Kunta would personally preside over his promotion ceremony.

He handed the stone statue to Quinta through another Styx island. Quinta is a family member, and Stanley is half a family member. Things between family members are easy to deal with, and there is no need to consider so many tedious details.

family……

Thinking of this word, Manda fell into deep thought. It seemed that he had simplified the concept of family.

He has always wanted to start with the Grand Duke's family, first control his family, then control his ministers, and then control all his power.

But the Grand Duke's family relationship may be far more complicated than he imagined. If he wants to find a breakthrough, he must first be familiar with the family rules of the nobles.

Manda has some knowledge about the nobility. He was born in a noble family. Although he is just an illegitimate son, he also knows the operating rules of the Claudesay family. However, the status of a baron is too far away from that of a grand duke, and it does not seem to have much reference value. .

He has met the king, who is the largest nobleman in the entire Romulu Kingdom, but he has never met the king's wife and children, and he does not understand the king's method of handling family affairs.

He met the Minister of State Lessio and the General Longesen. These two nobles were of extremely high status, but their temperaments were so weird that they had no family members at all.

There was also El Meng, Manda was also very familiar with him, but his family was too large, with hundreds of wives and hundreds of children, and it was impossible to learn about the normal family life of a nobleman from him.

Only then did Manda realize that he had not been exposed to the family life of a normal nobleman, and no one around him seemed to be born into a noble family.

Wait, there is one...

Manda called Roma to the bedroom. Roma blushed and refused to take off her armor. She was a little scared, but also a little yearning. From the first time she saw Manda to many times afterwards... Roma Always with the same emotion.

But she soon realized that both yearning and fear were unnecessary. Manda was not in that mood tonight. He had more important things to discuss with Roma.

After understanding what Manda meant, Roma made some signs in sign language.

During this time, Manda and Eudora learned some sign language and roughly understood what Manda meant.

"Are you asking how many sons the Grand Duke has? Is that important?"

Roma: This is an important part of understanding his family until it disintegrates.

Manda rubbed his forehead, shook his head and said, "I think it is more practical to use the threat of force to disintegrate his family."

Roma struggled to sign in sign language, trying to make Manda understand it in the simplest way possible.

"You mean, the soldiers are unwilling..." After reading it a few times, Manda finally understood what Roma meant: the soldiers might be unwilling to attack their lord.

In the City of Sound, there were more than a thousand soldiers under the command of Breton, but these soldiers could not participate in any battle without Shertai's order.

Even if Breton forcibly orders them to fight, there are still more than 2,000 guards in the city, and these guards are controlled by the guard commander Tabian, and Tabian has not bothered to look at Manda so far.

There is no doubt that he and the Grand Duke's family share the same position. This is the most difficult issue at the moment.

Deploy troops from the southwest and directly wipe out the resistance forces?

Manda had thought that if he immediately sent out troops at this time and attacked the City of Wonderful Sound, it would not be difficult to capture the city when all parties were unprepared.

But what about after the capture? The nobles in the south will react soon. They will fight to the death. Even if Manda kills Sheltai and all his family members, they will still resist. They will not accept the rule of a count. This is an insurmountable upper limit of status.

And this will also give the Grand Duke of Bessarius in the southeast a good excuse to start a war. No matter in any region or in any era, reaping the benefits is the best choice. In the name of upholding justice, he first devours Zhengnan, and then punishes In the name of evil, he swallowed up the southwest and then became the overlord of the entire south. The whole process was smooth and reasonable.

This is the reason why Manda still keeps Shertai. He knows that the Minister of State has gone to the southeast and brought a "new king" with him. He also knows that Besaliu is eyeing the south. Regardless of domestic affairs or foreign affairs, the living Shertai They are much more useful than his paperwork.

Manda accepted Roma's opinion and began to investigate Shertai's family. Before the investigation could be completed, the eager Bessa Liu sent people to the City of Wonderful Sound.

He sent his second son, Count Sousse, as an envoy to give Shelty an ultimatum.

Either an enemy or a friend, he asked Shelty to choose only one.
