Give Me the Name of God

Manda asked Medusa to pray to Gaia, who wanted to know the condition of Hermes.

Gaia still loved his granddaughter and responded in less than half a day.

"Grandma's anger has not subsided, and she is now torturing Hermes with the most severe punishments."

"Can I ask the reason?" Hermes was always cautious in his attitude towards Gaia, and Manda could not understand Gaia's anger.

"It's best not to ask too many questions now," Medusa advised Manda. "Continuing to irritate grandma will do neither you nor Hermes any good."

"My poor brother," Athena sighed, "even if you don't want to save him, at least send the news to Olympia and let those who can save him come to save him."

Manda nodded and said: "It makes sense, but I'm worried that the gods are leaderless and will not be a match for Gaia."

"This kind of thing is not yours as a mortal to worry about!"

Manda smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about me, I can imagine what will happen next. At the critical moment of life and death, the great goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war were ordered to lead the gods to defeat the Earth Mother Gaia. It's a pity that the gods Lord Hermes failed to persist to the end and unfortunately fell, so there was a new master on Mount Olympia."

Athena raised her sword eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Don't use your viciousness to speculate on the gods!"

"You're anxious. You see you're anxious. Did I get it right again?" Manda sneered, "Your idea is basically perfect, except for one link, that is, you can't defeat Gaia. You were beaten by God before. The Lord of Punishment fought until the entire army was annihilated, haven't you learned your lesson? You always want to establish your prestige by winning the war, but haven't you thought about the price behind losing the war? Times have changed, goddess, the rules of war are different from what you are familiar with Times have changed!”

"Is it your turn to teach me a lesson?" Athena couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward, but she saw the cold light in Medusa's eyes.

Manda stood behind Medusa, put her hands on her hips, and continued to preach: "Are you not convinced? Did I tell you wrong? Haven't you realized the stupid mistakes you made?"

When Athena couldn't resist, Manda scolded Him and felt much better.

After feeling comfortable and thinking clearly, Manda took out the parchment and wrote down the next plan.

Current goal: rescue Hermes.

This seemingly simple goal is not easy for Manda. There have been too many misunderstandings between him and Hermes before, which have not been resolved until now.

But again, if you talk about truth, you won’t be able to explain it clearly in your lifetime, but if you talk about facts, you can see it clearly at a glance.

Hermes gave Manda too much. In this world, the only one he could rely on was Hermes.

Hermes must be rescued, this goal is very determined!

The main difficulty faced: Gaia is too powerful.

Measures taken: only appeasement, not forceful attack.

The first thing to do is to apologize to the Earth Goddess. The best way Manda can think of to apologize is to give gifts.

He prepared a grand sacrifice for Gaia. It is embarrassing to say that there is only one temple of Gaia in the entire Romulu Kingdom. It was built by Manda for Gaia in Qixing Mountain.

Gaia is too ancient. At the end of the classical era, few people believed in Gaia. Farmers prayed to Demeter, the god of agriculture, for a good harvest, and women prayed to Hera, the queen of heaven, for fertility. People lived on the earth, but gradually forgot about it. .

Although Manda built a temple for Gaia, this was also the first time he organized a large-scale sacrifice for Gaia. He didn't understand many of the rules. Fortunately, Medusa helped.

Medusa lived in the early classical era. At that time, Gaia's incense was still strong. She still remembered some sacrificial rituals and also knew her grandmother's preferences.

Quinta learned some taboos and taboos about Gaia from ancient books, and after checking with Medusa, determined the overall process of the sacrifice.

Quinta cannot serve as the high priest. According to the restrictions of the ritual, Gaia's bloodline must serve as the high priest, and Siegsei became the only choice.

Siegsel really did not disappoint Manda. He had very solid basic knowledge and was very patient. He strictly recorded all the processes that Kunta taught him.

On the day of the sacrifice, Chigsel organized the priests to offer sacrifices to Gaia, including grain, grass, saplings, and newborn cattle and sheep.

Gifts to Gaia must be full of vitality, but the difficulty lies in maintaining vitality after the sacrifice is over.

Siegsel used a skill to sink the sacrifice into the mud, only half of it. After being soaked in the mud for a period of time, he released the skill.

Food must be used as seeds for cultivation next spring, grass and saplings must be planted back into the land, new cattle and sheep must continue to be raised, and the lives blessed by Gaia must live happily and long.

The sacrifice lasted for three full days, and on the last day, Chigsel led the priestesses to end the sacrifice with the most primitive and simple dance.

But after the sacrifice, the entire Qixing Mountain shook for more than a minute.

What's happening? Gaia is unhappy again? Is this a breach of etiquette?

Manda hurried to find Medusa. After a night of prayer, Medusa received a response: "Grandma is very happy. He has forgiven Hermes. You can take Hermes away."

It's great to pick him up, but where to pick him up? Gaia didn’t give an address!

Medusa prayed again, but this time received no response from Gaia.

Manda had no choice but to ask Ogg for help. As Gaia's most beloved grandson, Prometheus gave a hint that Hermes was in the south of the Seven Star Mountain and needed Gaia's power as a guide to find it. Hermes.

With the power of Gaia, this is obviously Siegsel. Of course, Manda can't take him alone. This journey is very dangerous. He must not only guard against Gaia's betrayal, but also guard against the pursuit of impostors.

Manda formed a team, including Siegsel, Ogg, Pluto and Sphinx. Medusa stayed at home temporarily, and her main task was to take care of Athena.

Everything was ready. The night before departure, Ogg received a warning from Prometheus not to bring too many people with him on this trip. The more people there are, the more dangerous it is. At most, only two people can come back alive.

The more people there are, the more dangerous it is. Only two can come back alive, and they can only rely on the power of Gaia to find Hermes.

No need to think about it, Manda immediately disbanded the team and set off south with only Siegsel.

Because there is no exact location, Manda cannot travel through the underworld. South of Seven Star City is an uninhabited wilderness with no roads for carriages to travel. The only scientific and reasonable method is to take Siegsel on a fake double snake staff.

I don’t know why, but Siegsel gets extremely excited every time he rides on the double snake staff. Manda reminded him more than once that this staff is fake and can no longer provide him with power, but Siegsel seems to be working. With endless divine power, he used his skills to carve a path through the woods and thorns.

Every one or two days, Siegsel would receive instructions from Gaia, reminding him of the next step. Siegsel was very excited. In the first half of his life, Gaia had never said anything to him. so much.

After walking for twelve consecutive days, they still could not get out of this wilderness. Siegsel received a message from the oracle that they could no longer use any tools on the next road and had to move forward with both feet.

Unknowingly, they had been flying with the scepter for twelve days, and Manda realized a problem. The place they were in now was no longer the world they were familiar with.

According to normal geographical concepts, the south of Qixing Mountain is the junction of Romulu Country and Dier Country. There is indeed a wilderness between the two countries, but the wilderness cannot be so big.

Riding the scepter, he could not leave for twelve days. The area of ​​​​this wilderness was equivalent to a medium-sized country. Neither Romulu nor Dill would be able to give up such a vast land.

In other words, under the guidance of Gaia, Manda and Siegesay entered another space, just like the Tartarus Abyss that Manda had visited.

Manda's guess was correct. The Styx Islands had ceased to function, and other means of contact with the outside world were slowly weakening.

Fortunately, Manda was well prepared this time. He asked Siegsel to carry all the equipment and supplies he could carry. On the evening of the seventeenth day, Siegsel received the oracle from Gaia.

"We have to walk through wind and sand on the next road."

The wind in the mountains and forests is indeed strong, but where does the sand come from?

Siegsel used the flying dust technique to create a cloud of sand.

Manda couldn't laugh or cry, this was the legendary self-made difficulty.

It was okay at first, a little bit of wind and sand was nothing to a seventh-level saint.

After walking for half a day, the wind and sand became more and more fierce, and the visibility was less than one meter. Manda didn't know what method Siegsel was using to judge the direction.

His mouth and nose were filled with sand, all exposed skin was cut by the sand, and the gaps in his clothes were full of sand. The most terrible thing was that he couldn't open his eyes at all, and he didn't even dare to open a crack.

"It's almost done!" Manda said, "You don't have to work so hard."

Siegsey covered his mouth with his clothes: "Master, this is not my power, and I cannot have such a powerful power. This power should come from the goddess of the earth."

Is this a test from Gaia?

If it were just wind and sand, this test would not be too much.

Manda covered her head with clothes and continued to move forward. Suddenly she felt her feet go soft and one foot sank into the soil.

No, is it quicksand?

What to do if you get stuck in quicksand?

It doesn't seem to be a big deal. If you use flying shoes, you should be able to escape smoothly.

Manda kicked his right foot hard, and suddenly found that the flying shoes failed and he could not fly.

At the same time, the wind and sand stopped.

The wind and sand moved very suddenly, and the yellow sand in the sky disappeared in an instant. Only then did Manda realize that they were in a dense jungle.

Manda patted his clothes and found that even the dust on his body had disappeared. In this way, they had passed Gaia's test.

The Earth Goddess is really tolerant.

Manda was secretly rejoicing, but found that her right foot was still in the soil.

He moved his ankles slightly, but unexpectedly the ground suddenly collapsed, and he and Siegsel fell into a pit.

There were densely packed bamboo sticks stuck in the pit, and the bamboo sticks were very sharp. Thanks to Manda and Siegsel's agility, they would have been turned into meat skewers otherwise.

Is this also a test from the Earth Goddess? Isn't this kind of trap a bit low-level?

The two were about to leave the trap when they suddenly heard someone speaking above the trap:

"The enemy is coming in!"

"They're not dead yet!"

"Hurry up, light a fire, close the lid, and burn them to death!"
