Give Me the Name of God

Manda found the right place. This is Dielan Town, less than twenty miles away from Longyin City, the largest city in the southeast.

The first time he saw Butterfly Town, Manda thought he was in hell.

Medusa wandered among the corpses for a moment, then suddenly pulled off a lock of hair and stuffed it into Manda's mouth.

What is this going to do? Why does she like stuffing hair in other people's mouths so much?

There is the breath of the gods here... Medushan murmured.

Amidst the suffocating rancid stench, Manda shrugged: Are you sure this is the smell of the god's breath?

This is a disease sent by the gods. Hold my hair in your mouth and don't spit it out. This will save your life.

Why can your hair save my life? Wasn't all your hair used up in the battle?

Why do you have so many questions? I have kept part of my hair, and it will grow longer. My hair can cure diseases and resist plagues. Do you have any more questions?

Manda shrugged and said no more. Medusa said to herself: Which god is so vicious?

Manda knew that this was Zeus' punishment. He knew that disaster would befall the southeast, but he did not expect that Zeus would do this.

They wandered among the mountains of corpses for half a day without seeing a single living person. It would be impossible to find any clues about the head if this continued.

At a loss, Manda suddenly saw something moving between the corpses.

Medusa also saw it, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

It's a mouse! She hunched over and got into the corpse, twisted her arms at an incredible angle, and pulled out a fat mouse from the ribs of a corpse.

Eat! Medusa wiped her saliva and handed the mouse to Manda, Aren't you hungry? You eat first and leave some for me.

What a good woman, she is just a mouse and she has to be left to eat first.

Manda was indeed hungry, and eating a mouse was not difficult for him, but this mouse had other uses.

Manda put it in the palm of her hand and whispered a few words to it. The mouse twitched its nose and responded.

Medusa said in surprise: The followers of Hermes can still talk to mice?

Manda smiled and said: Aren't you a banshee who knows everything?

I really don't know much about Hermes. Even his father Zeus doesn't know much about him. He is an elusive god.

Manda understands Hermes very well. Living next to Zeus for many years, it is definitely a wise choice to remain mysterious.

He put the mouse down and it scurried forward, wagging its tail.

Manda followed the mouse, and Medusa followed Manda.

Where shall we follow it? asked Medusa.

Go to the market.

What are you doing at the market?

See if anyone sells your head.

Medusa said angrily: How could you sell my head in the market?

Manda smiled slightly and said, That's a divine head. I guess it should fetch a good price.

Medusa shouted: Do the followers of Hermes only know business?

Under the guidance of the mouse, Manda quickly found the market. This was the only place in the entire Phalaenopsis Town where there were still living people. Although there were corpses everywhere, there were still a few merchants in rags selling food here. Occasionally, Some weak refugees came up to ask about the price, but after hearing the price, they all left silently.

Manda tore off a piece of cloth from his robe and wrapped it around Medusa's head like a turban. He didn't want to cause panic here.

He walked to a merchant's stall and picked up a piece of black bread: How much does this cost?

The businessman held out two fingers and asked for two silver coins. Bread like this was only worth two copper coins in normal times, but when disaster strikes, the price of food will exceed everyone's imagination.

Mandado gave him a silver coin and asked in a low voice: Has anyone been selling sacred items here recently?

A divine object? the businessman sneered, Can that thing be eaten?

Maybe it's not a divine object, Manda said in a different way, it's a very expensive thing.

The businessman said: The most expensive thing here is medicinal materials. If you have gold coins, you may be able to buy some.

Manda didn't ask any more questions. He took a bite of the bread, moved his jaw, and handed the bread to Medusa.

Don't eat too much, my clone can't digest this kind of thing.

He was about to ask the next businessman when he suddenly saw a group of people approaching. Manda quickly took Medusa and hid behind a pile of corpses. Medusa chewed the bread and asked in a low voice: It's you again. Enemy?

Not enemies, but friends.

It was Young Master Susi, the second son of Grand Duke Besariu. He brought a group of soldiers to Dielan Town.

Last night, Prince Susi received an oracle from Hera in his dream, saying that there was someone who could give him a way out, and that person would appear in Butterfly Town today.

It is very dangerous to leave the castle. I am afraid that only the Archduke's castle in the entire southeast has not seen the plague. Suss always believed that this was the blessing of the gods, but his subordinate Tinian, a believer in the Kitchen God, also received the oracle. Therefore, the Archduke's castle has not been infected with the plague because Zeus has prepared a more severe punishment for them.

Suss wanted to survive, he wanted to survive with his family, so he ventured to Phalaenopsis Town.

There were only two bodyguards accompanying the prince. Although they were all fifth-level believers and fearless, their faces turned green as soon as they walked out of the Grand Duke's castle.

There are too many dead bodies. There will be at least one corpse within a distance of no more than ten feet (three meters). Every three to five hundred feet you will see a pile of corpses, with at least hundreds of corpses on each pile.

After leaving Longyin City, the situation became even worse. The roads in many places were blocked by corpses, and many of the corpses had turned into mud under the crushing force of carriages and horses.

After the flood, a large number of civilians were left homeless. They flocked to Longyin City, hoping to beg for food from Archduke Besaliu.

Compared to the other two Grand Dukes, Bessaliu was very tolerant, and he was never stingy with refugees.

Who would have thought that what awaited them in Longyin City was not the Besa style, but a terrible plague.

The plague started in the city. Because Suss's uncle made a stupid mistake, the plague swept outside the city. When it spread to the small towns surrounding Longyin City, the number of infected people reached its peak.

There should be a small river here, Suss looked around, Are we going the wrong way?

Zuglan, a follower of the Hunting Goddess, said from the sidelines: Sir, the river is under our feet, and it has been filled with dead bodies.

Sus couldn't help but vomited, and Tinian advised: Sir, let's go back to the castle.

Suss didn't want to go back because there was no hope in the castle.

Passing through the river filled with dead bodies, he came to the farmland full of dead bodies, passed through the villages full of dead bodies, and finally came to the town. Walking from the edge of the town to the market, Sus felt his heart throbbing. He seemed to be very close to that person, but he didn't expect that person didn't want to see him.

Manda really doesn't want to see him. To put it bluntly, Manda doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Besaliu family. Don't talk about morality now. Manda has no ability to fight against gods, let alone the other party. He is the Lord of the Gods.

He lay down in the pile of dead bodies with Medusa, and waited until Suss left before carefully getting up.

Medusa sighed and said: I don't have many friends, but there are still a few. In our time, we were not so afraid of friends...

Manda smiled bitterly and said: It's not fear, it's avoidance. This person is a member of Besaliu's family. The Besalius family is the target of Zeus' punishment.

Medusa thought for a long time before she understood what Manda meant: You mean, Zeus brought this disaster to punish his family?

Manda nodded: Yes.

Medusa quickly walked back into the pile of corpses and whispered: I can still see him. Let's come out when he is farther away. If he recognizes you, just pretend that you don't know me. There's no need to pretend. That’s fine, from now on our friendship will be severed…”
