Give Me the Name of God

Worm flew to the Valley of Resentment with two cans of wine and a letter, and Manda was returned to the tavern by the fat knight Stanley himself.

A red flag embroidered with a pair of horns was hung in front of the tavern. In the center of the horns were embroidered the names of the successive heads of the Gesek family in ancient Tili language.

Gutili language is very complex, not only the language itself is complex, but also brings some complex problems.

Like the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Ancient Tilly was once a very glorious country. The Tilean people believed in ancient gods and had a splendid culture.

Advocating classical language is equivalent to advocating classical culture, which is one of the behaviors that the God Punisher hates most.

But the Gesek family still stubbornly wrote the Tilian language on the family emblem. Stanley also specifically explained the reason to Manda:

The ancestors of Viscount Gesek are nobles of the ancient Tilean country. Using Tilean language is a family tradition and an honor for the family. Very few people understand Tilean language, so it is difficult to forge the viscount's family emblem...

No matter how Gesek explained it, this was an act of provocation against God's Punisher. Coupled with various previous actions, Manda made some assumptions.

Stanley is obviously a follower of the Old Gods, but Gasak makes him a knight.

Manda and Worm are also believers of the ancient gods and are related to a certain organization of believers of the ancient gods. Gesak saved them from the God Punisher and expressed his desire to cooperate with the count.

There are many believers of the ancient gods in Gaisak's castle.

The above three points can confirm that Gaisak is a supporter of the ancient god. He is fighting against the God Punisher, and it is semi-public. Everyone, including himself, may be a believer of the ancient god.

There may be disputes involving countless forces behind this. Manda dare not inquire, nor do he want to know. With his current strength, if he is involved in such a dispute, he will be shattered in minutes.

Stanley left a silver coin, treated each of the soldiers to a glass of wine, and left immediately.

Looking at the flag swaying in the wind and snow, Manda really wanted to tear it down. It was too ostentatious, and it was like slapping the Punisher in the face.

But without this flag, God's Punisher may raze this place to the ground at any time.

There was no business left and she could only survive in the cracks. Manda sighed. Just as he was about to close the door, a group of businessmen stopped in front of the tavern.

They saw the flag on the door of the tavern. It was not their first time in Niujiao Town, so they recognized the lord's family emblem.

The lord's emblem represents the guarantee of reputation. For merchants traveling far away, it is also related to their safety.

The merchants walked into the tavern and said, Give us each a glass of ale.

No ale, just wine, fifteen copper coins a glass.

Is it so expensive? The businessman smacked his lips, Let's have a drink first.

Manda brought a glass of wine. The merchant took a sip, nodded and said, How much does a barrel of good wine cost? If it doesn't exceed five silver coins, we can buy twenty barrels.

Not for sale. Manda shook her head.

The businessman bit his lip and said, As long as it doesn't exceed ten silver coins, we can discuss it.

It won't be sold for any money. This is Viscount Geiseck's exclusive wine. It can only be sold by the glass in the tavern.

This is really... The businessman looked at the flag at the door, smacked his lips again, and did not dare to ask any more questions.

There was a snort in the yard, and Manda remembered that the thousand-mile horse had not eaten for a day.

This snorting sound also attracted the attention of the businessman. He followed Manda to the yard and stared at the green horse for a long time.

What a good horse. Are you going to sell it?

Manda picked up a bundle of wheat and threw it into the trough, turned around and asked, How much do you plan to pay?

Oh my god, the animals actually eat wheat! The businessman was a little nervous and asked tentatively: Is one gold coin okay?

Not for sale! Manda waved her hand and then looked at the merchants' carriage.

What do you sell?

Food, cotton and some knick-knacks.

I want the food, please give me a price.

The merchant said: This is the best wheat. Two pounds costs at least three copper coins.

Manda looked at it cross-eyed for a moment, then grinned and said, I want them all.

The businessman was startled, and then looked at the flag at the door, as if he felt that he was doing business with the viscount.

Each of them ordered another glass of wine. Manda treated them to two pounds of bacon, moved a wine barrel, sat next to them and asked, Where are you from? Why come to Niujiao Town?

…

The Haze Valley, in the castle.

Worm stood in front of the count and described in detail what he had experienced in Niujiao Town.

The earl fiddled with the harp, shook his head and said, It's only been a month, and you have already provoked the God of Punishment. It seems that you are far behind old Yaman.

Worm's heart tightened. He was worried that the count would send someone else to replace them. After a long silence, Worm asked in a low voice: How should I reply to Viscount Niujiao?

The count read the letter again, thought for a moment and said, Bring those two people over.

Which two people?

Gaisak's nephew and son, bring them to the valley, and I will give them a way to enter.

Worm was surprised: Bring people from outside to the valley?

Are you questioning me? Two more eyes appeared on the earl's face.

Worm did not dare to speak and carefully left the room. When he walked to the door, the Earl threw a gold coin to Worm: Go and buy another five thousand pounds of grain. I will ask someone to transport it back before the New Year.

Late at night, Worm flew back to the tavern in an anxious mood, and unexpectedly found that the door of the tavern was still open.

Manda was greeting two tables of guests. This was the first time that two tables of guests appeared in the tavern at the same time. Worm was a little surprised and a little disappointed, so he hid in the warehouse and continued to brew wine.

Late at night, the tavern was closed, and a group of guests chose to stay overnight. Worm took the opportunity to convey the count's order to Manda.

He changed and actually asked me to bring strangers to the valley.

He should change, otherwise he will encounter disaster sooner or later. Manda understood the count's intention. If he wanted to find a reliable ally outside the valley, he must be more reliable than a walleye like Solons. This It was an important reason why he chose Niujiao Town.

We may lose this tavern, Worm said with a worried look, The Count is not very satisfied with us.

Manda smiled: I think he was very satisfied that we facilitated the business between him and Gaisak.

Worm frowned: Do you think they are doing business?

Everything has value. It's just business between people. Pay or make money, it's all up to you.

Looking at Manda's back, Worm shook his head and said, Are you really only twelve years old?

I will be thirteen soon, Manda raised her head, looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and took a breath, New Year is coming soon.

Late at night three days later, the pub had just closed and Manda was sitting at the counter counting money. Today's business is very good. The New Year is approaching, and businessmen are rushing home. When passing by the pub, they can't help but come in for a drink. With the lord's flag hanging on the door, the merchants would not worry about being cheated, nor would they care too much about the price. In this day alone, Manda earned more than thirty silver coins.

While Manda was counting happily, Worm suddenly came to her side and whispered: There are people coming from the valley, and they want to get food.

Let them take it, Manda pointed to the yard, the food is all piled up there.

Zarik is responsible for delivering food. He asked you to meet him.

Zarik, Manda remembers this person, he is a white duck, and he has not been able to find the corresponding god after completing the sacrifice.

This man was very venomous and mean, and he always bullied Kunta. Manda felt a little disgusted with him.

I'm very busy and don't want to see him. Manda continued to count the copper coins without raising her head.

He said he brought the earl's orders.

Manda frowned, locked the money in the cabinet, and followed Worm to the yard.

Zarick stood in the middle of the yard, shrugging his shoulders, raising his head, looking down at Manda and saying: Little white duck, long time no see.

Looking at his face that needed a beating, Manda laughed and said, I'm no longer a white duck.

It's just a joke, Zarick stepped forward and touched Manda's head, I have long heard that you have become a believer of Chimera. We are all talented people. I just entered the level ten days ago, and now You have learned the first level skill, this is your talent.”

Have you entered the level? Manda was startled, Which god are you a believer in?

Guess what, Zarick pinched Manda's cheek, little guy, I can turn you into a piece of meat in one breath!

The dragon's breath! The first-level skill of Radon’s followers! He became a follower of Radon?

Zarik squeezed Manda's face hard, which was his usual trick when bullying Kunta. Manda touched his wrist lightly, which frightened him and quickly retracted his hand. He knew how powerful the Chimera's claws were. horrible.

Manda rubbed her cheek and asked, Does Pluto know about this? Aren't you afraid that he will break your bones?

Are you talking about the blind man? Zarick pointed to the door. He's here too. Ask him if he has the courage?
