Give Me the Name of God

Zarik blew a whistle, and a group of coolies responsible for carrying food walked into the yard. These coolies are usually held by white ducks, but unexpectedly, the people who were once closest to the name of God are also among them.

Pluto, wearing coarse linen clothes and a dirty blindfold, followed everyone into the yard.

After that terrible disaster, Manda never saw Pluto again. The three-headed dog said that his eyes were blind. Manda thought it was just an exaggeration. He always thought that Pluto's eyes were just injured.

But now he knows that Pluto is really blind and has lost all his skills. He only has a little divine power left in his body, which allows him to roughly perceive the surrounding environment and barely do some strenuous work in the valley.

Worm's body was shaking. Like Manda, he hadn't seen Pluto for a long time.

Why, how could you do this to him...

Zarick smiled and said: We don't need useless people in the valley. Letting him live to this day is already a kindness of the earl.

Pluto picked up a bag of grain and staggered toward the door. Zarik deliberately stretched out a foot, tripping Pluto and causing him to fall to the ground along with the grain.

Zarick stepped forward and kicked Pluto: Useless idiot, what else can you do?

Pluto struggled to stand up. Zarick wanted to step forward and kick him again, but found that his ankle was tangled in worm thread.

Zarik turned to look at Worm, frowning and squinting his eyes, showing an expression that was even more in need of a beating: Old bug, what do you want to do?

As soon as the words fell, Manda suddenly appeared in front of Zarik, put her hand on his stomach, and scratched his clothes with her fingers, but did not scratch his skin.

The sudden chill made Zarick shiver. They were both at the first level, and his combat experience was much worse than Manda's.

You, what do you want to do?

Manda smiled and said: We want to have a drink with our old friends, but we don't want to be disturbed by others. I heard that you brought the earl's order. Please speak quickly.

You, stay away from me!

Manda retracted her fingers, and Worm also withdrew the worm thread. Zarick straightened out his torn clothes, and said to Worm with an angry look on his face: The count asked you to bring the viscount's son and nephew to the valley before the New Year!

Worm didn't want to go to the Viscount Castle, and Manda couldn't get away from taking care of business. This matter has been delayed until now.

Tell the count to send those two people away tomorrow. Is there anything else?

Zarick said: The count asked you to be careful and don't cause any more trouble.

Any more?

Zarick wanted to say something disgusting to them, but looking at Worm's dark pupils and Manda's weird smile, he opened his mouth for a long time, but did not say a word.

He didn't dare to offend the count's confidants, and he didn't want to offend the evil boy, so he had to yell at Pluto: Blind man, why are you still standing here? You have broken the sacks. Hurry up and move the grain. stand up!

Pluto, come here. Worm pulled Pluto to his side.

Zarik looked at Worm with wide eyes: He is here to work!

You have no shortage of people to work with, Manda said with a smile, Let's have a drink with our old friends, and you should come too.

I'm not as free as you! Zarick glared at Pluto fiercely, then turned to the carriage to count the amount of food.

Worm took Pluto to the private room on the second floor. Manda poured Pluto a glass of wine. Pluto drank the glass in one go, wiped his mouth and said, It's the wine made by Worm. I remember This smell.

Worm's eyes were rolling. Manda knew that he wanted to cry, but couldn't. He poured Pluto another glass of wine. Pluto drank half of it and spit it out. He was sobbing, but he couldn't. Cry out tears.

The three of them sat in silence for a long time. Worm banged the table and said, Stay here. I'll go to the count and beg him to let you stay here and live with us.

Pluto raised his head with a smile on his face. Although his beard and hair were messy and his face was covered with dust, this smile could still reveal the handsome face of the past.

Thank you for your kindness, old friend, Pluto smiled. The Count will not let me leave the valley. You understand, there is one thing in me that the Count wants... I will live, Leonder and Horna takes good care of me. It doesn’t matter even if I can’t live anymore. Death will be a relief. Before I cross the River Styx, I may still be able to see my natal God...

Manda cut a piece of bacon for Pluto. Pluto stuffed the bacon into his mouth and kept nodding: It's delicious. It's really delicious. Leonde found some for me yesterday. Bacon, but it’s still not as delicious as Worm’s.”

I'm sorry. Manda gave Pluto another glass of wine.

Pluto held the wine glass for a while without saying anything.

It's not your fault. You don't know what a real golden apple looks like. I have never hated you. I just sometimes think that if I could go back to that day, if you could tell me, tell me that golden apple. ... There were no tears, but Pluto cried out.

The three of them drank a whole can of wine, and Zarik's urging came from downstairs: Blind man! Have you had enough? It's time to go!

Worm wanted to go downstairs to teach Zarik a lesson, but Manda stopped him and gave him two silver coins.

Give this to Zarick. At least it will make Pluto feel better along the way.

Watching Pluto stumble into the carriage and slowly disappear into the night, Worm returned to the warehouse without saying a word, and Manda continued to count the money at the counter.

At dawn the next day, Manda took out the thousand-mile horse from the stable.

Worm touched the horse's mane: Are you going to ride it to the Viscount's castle?

I can't ride it, I have to lead it. This is a gift for the Viscount. Manda groomed the horse carefully.

Giving it away for free? Worm asked in surprise, Someone offered you six gold coins before and you were reluctant to sell it.

That's why this horse is worthy of the Viscount.

Why did you give Gaisak a gift? We don't owe him anything, and the count also allowed his son and nephew to enter the valley. This is a huge gift. Worm couldn't understand Manda's thoughts. Manda said more than once However, this horse can be sold for a sky-high price.

The earl's gift comes from the earl, our gift comes from us, everything the earl has belongs to the earl, and everything we have...

Everything about us also belongs to the count! Worm showed two fangs, which was a warning to Manda.

Manda smiled and took the reins: Yes, we also belong to the count, including our lives and everything on us. I am very curious, what is the thing that Pluto is talking about?

you do not need to know.

Do I have that too?

I won't tell you. Worm turned and returned to the warehouse, and Manda led the horse and left the tavern.

…

Manda waited in the reception room of the castle for a short while, and was greeted warmly by the fat knight Stanley.

The Viscount likes your horse very much. It is such a good horse. Why haven't I noticed it before? I am willing to pay twenty gold coins to buy it.

I will choose another good horse for you. Manda leaned over and gave a salute.

This is a reward from the earl. Stanley gave Manda a small bag of gold coins, and then asked someone to carry out a box of gold coins. This is a gift to the earl. The carriage is ready, let's set off.

Leaving now? You didn’t even say you’d invite me in for a cup of tea? Manda looked at Stanley in surprise, as if he still didn't understand the purpose of this trip.

I'm here to pick up the two young masters...

The two young masters are already waiting for you in the carriage.

Just leave like that? This is too hasty. This is his biological son, and the Viscount didn't give it to him personally?

Manda got on the carriage and saw two handsomely dressed teenagers sitting in the carriage.

Hello, Mr. Nidali. The two teenagers saluted Manda.

Manda waved his hands and said, I'm just a civilian.

A young man said: You are a believer of the ancient gods, and we respect you very much.

Another young man said: We will abandon our status as nobles and follow the Earl wholeheartedly.

You will definitely be favored by the gods. Manda nodded approvingly and made a very subtle cross-eyed look while talking and laughing.

Of these two boys, one is worth thirty silver coins, and the other is worth twenty-eight silver coins plus more than thirty copper coins. Although their origins cannot fully represent a person's value, Manda can be sure that they are absolutely impossible to be nobles.

This is a test product sent by the Viscount. It is difficult for them to escape the Count's eyes. Do they really want to send them to the valley?
