Give Me the Name of God

Manda asked Putala to swear an oath to Apollo. Putala's hair stood up. In his opinion, calling Apollo by his name was already an offense to the gods.

"I won't believe your words. To swear randomly in the name of the gods is blasphemy against the gods."

Manda stared at Pdala and said: "Carving the sword marks of the Lord of Divine Punishment on Apollo's blood is the most serious blasphemy. Even if you die, this shame cannot be washed away."

Pudala's face turned red and his hands were shaking. He had been joking with Odysseus, but these few words actually angered him.

"You dare to blaspheme God again..."

"It's you who are blasphemous! Look at the scar on your chest. There are eight drops of Apollo's blood in your sacred blood stone. In order for you to have the status you have today, Apollo shed blood for you eight times. You actually Let the sword of divine punishment stain the blood of Apollo,

Even if you die, the sword mark of the Lord of Divine Punishment is still engraved on your divine blood stone and on the symbol of Apollo. This is equivalent to being engraved on Apollo's face. The sword mark is just like the shoe mark. God The Lord of Punishment's shoe stepped on Apollo's face, and you were indifferent to it. You actually fantasized about death. Now I'm giving you a chance to atone, but you still don't cherish it? What qualifications do you have to say faith? What qualifications do you have to say you are loyal? "

Putala clutched her chest, her face turned pale, and her breathing became extremely difficult: "You are talking nonsense, you are blaspheming..."

Manda wanted to continue to persuade Pdala, but Odysseus stepped forward to stop him and said: "Let him relax a bit. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it anymore. Let's have a few words alone."

Arriving outside the door, Odysseus whispered: "How do you want to remove the seal of the divine sword?"

Manda lowered her eyes and said, "Do you think I will tell you for free?"

"I'm willing to pay you, please tell me."

"We'll discuss our business later. You have to do me a favor first. I want to take out a person's sacred blood stone, and then put him back. I have to restore him to his original strength. You should know the method."

"I understand," Odysseus nodded, "I also know what you want to do. You want to break the seal on the divine blood stone. That technique is fine for making blood blades, but it can be used to restore the divine blood stone. It is far from enough. If you want to truly restore the Divine Blood Stone, you must completely remove all traces of the seal. No trace of the seal can be left, and you must not cause too much damage to the Divine Blood Stone.

I have lived for more than two thousand years. In the world, the only one who can do this is a craftsman named Pilar. He is the demigod of Hephaestus. It took him half a year to completely remove a piece of The seal of the divine blood stone, and the owner of that divine blood stone has long been dead.

Do you have Pilar's skills? Do you have a tool as sharp as his? Do you have half a year? Can Putala survive more than half a year? Even if he can survive, can Romulu Country survive for more than half a year? "

Manda really has sharp tools, sharper than any of the demigod's tools.

As for skills, this is indeed a delicate job, but Manda is not inferior in this delicate job. He can pour mercury into the dice and do it flawlessly, which even the poet marveled at.

Moreover, he and Guatel also conducted experiments with the sealed divine blood stone. Although it would cause some losses and the success rate was not too high, he had successful experience in lifting the seal of the divine sword.

But judging from Odysseus' tone, he seemed to have a better way.

Odysseus said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Let's find a way to trick Kequin into the underworld and take him away directly."

"You think I haven't tried?" Manda tried. He couldn't open the entrance to the underworld in the palace, couldn't open the Styx island, and couldn't even use the ascension skills.

There is a mysterious power controlling the palace. As for where the mysterious power comes from, it may have something to do with the treasure.

"Give me half a day. If I can't do it, I'll find another way."

Odysseus did not object anymore, and he could afford to wait for half a day. When he returned to the room, Manda saw Pdala praying. He offered a bowl of deer blood, a piece of refined meat and a bowl of water. Manda could not understand his prayer, it seemed that he was not speaking in common language, and his tone was very unclear.

You must be patient with Putala at this moment. His stubbornness has gone beyond the understanding of normal people. After praying, he may draw his sword and commit suicide.

But Odysseus believed that he would not commit suicide: "If he wanted to die, he would have died long ago, not because he was afraid of death, but because he had something to do."

After waiting quietly for a long time, Manda suddenly heard a sob.

"The glory of the gods, the survival of the people, why..." Putala burst into tears, "I thought I should bear all this alone, why would the gods be shamed by this, why..."

Manda said calmly: "You are a believer of the God of Light, and it is your duty to defend the dignity of the God of Light."

"But my people, they are innocent."

"I swear to you in the name of Hermes, I will not let Kequen harm your people."

Putala looked at Manda with two lines of tears and nodded silently.

He agreed to the deal, and he swore to Apollo that as long as Manda could remove the seal on his divine blood stone, he would be willing to open the stone door and allow them and Kequen to leave.

If he was still the all-powerful demigod, even if Manda talked about everything, he couldn't defeat his stubbornness.

But now, he is just a bad old man who has lived in a palace isolated from the world for more than ninety years. All his stubbornness and stubbornness cannot hide his helplessness and vulnerability.

This vulnerability was seen by Odysseus, and he took out an olive leaf: "Old friend, eat this and have a good sleep. I have to take out your sacred blood stone."

"You don't need to," Putala shook his head and said, "Followers of the God of Light are the best healers. I know how to remove the God's Blood Stone."

He took out some medicinal powder from a copper box, put it in a clay pot, mixed it with some water, ignited the grease, and cooked it into a decoction.

Odysseus frowned and said, "It's been more than ninety years, is your medicine still useful?"

Putala didn't answer. He drank the soup and said to Manda: "I could last for a month originally, but now I don't have much divine power left in me. I'm afraid I can only last for ten days. If you fail to succeed after ten days, , I will teach you how to survive in the palace, I am afraid you will have to live here forever."

After saying that, Putala cut open his chest with a carving knife and dug out the sacred blood stone with his fingers. He held the sacred blood stone in his palm, stared at it solemnly for a long time, and handed it to Manda.

Manda took the sacred blood stone and looked at Pudala with admiration: "I need a hidden room that no one is allowed to enter."

Putala covered her chest, coughed a few times and said, "You should have said this earlier."

He staggered and led Manda through several secret doors and came to a small secret room: "There is no place that Ke Kuien can't find. You can only hope that he won't find this place so quickly. I want to go back and rest." ."

Putala coughed repeatedly and left the secret room. When he returned to the original room, Odysseus helped him make the bed: "Go to sleep, I will take care of you."

"Don't let your greed and arrogance harm you."

…

Manda wiped off the blood stains on the divine blood stone. The eighth-level divine blood stone was very gorgeous. By the light of the oil lamp, the mark of the silver bow could be seen slowly rotating in the divine blood stone.

The mark of the divine sword on the outside of the divine blood stone is also very clear. After Goldfinger upgraded, Manda once conducted experiments. It was not difficult to cut through the mark of the divine sword, but he always heard the Lord of Divine Punishment whispering in his ear.

This palace should have cut off all contact with the outside world. As long as it does not attract the attention of the Lord of Divine Punishment, everything else is easy to say.

He put his index finger against the divine sword and cut it. Instead of cutting off the divine sword, he slowly walked along the edge of the divine sword.

You can feel different hardnesses and different textures. This is a method he and Guatel obtained through experiments. As long as you are careful enough, the damage caused to the blood stone can be kept within an acceptable range. , and it will also bring a by-product.

There was no sunlight in the palace, and there was no timing tool. It was estimated that more than an hour had passed before Manda completely took out the symbol of the Sword of Divine Punishment from the Divine Blood Stone.

To say it is a symbol, it is better to say that this is a sword of divine punishment. It is small but very sharp. Guatel once tried to make this type of sword of divine punishment into a weapon, but has not yet succeeded.

Manda put away the mini version of the Sword of Divine Punishment and stared at the divine blood stone in her hand for a moment.

The seal has been lifted, but Manda is in no hurry to return the sacred blood stone to Putala.

He took out a silver coin, cut off a thin slice, and carved the totem of Hermes on it with his fingernails.

After the carving was completed, he poured his divine power into the totem and used witchcraft to inlay the silver pieces into the darkest part of the divine blood stone.

Then he made some cover-ups, which took a lot of effort from Manda. Estimating that half a day was coming, Manda returned to the original room with the sacred blood stone and handed the sacred blood stone to Puda. pull.

Putala had just slept for a short while. When he opened his eyes and saw his sacred blood stone, he was immediately shocked.

"You... lifted the seal?"

Manda nodded and said: "If your nose is sharp enough, you should have been able to smell that smell before, the iron smell of the Sword of God's Punishment. Smell it again now to see if the smell is still there?"

"Did you smell it?" Odysseus looked surprised. He couldn't believe that it only took Manda half a day to completely remove the seal of the divine sword.

"Perhaps you have a better way, just verify it, but instead of wasting time on this, it is better to put the sacred blood stone back into the body as soon as possible. Your sacred blood stone is damaged, and you have also seen signs of depression. It’s going to have some impact on you, and the quicker it gets back into your body, the less impact it will have.”

That little bit of damage will not affect the function of the sacred blood stone. What really affects the function of the sacred blood stone is the spell of Manda, and may even cause Putala to lose rank.

You can't blame Manda for being cruel, Putala is a demigod.

He did not fully believe in Putala's reasons, nor did he fully believe in Putala's capital.
