Give Me the Name of God

Manda remembered something. In order to help Pluto cure his eyes, Manda promised to find a witch's clothes for the old witch. Lulian gave Manda a piece of clothes, and the owner of this clothes would become The old witch's slave.

The Salya in front of her was the unfortunate witch, and there was indeed a deep hatred between her and Manda.

Manda originally wanted to persuade the old witch to leave the valley with him, but looking at Salya who was filled with murderous intent, Manda did not dare to stay long and hurriedly left the cave.

Back at the castle, Manda wants to confirm something with Leander.

First of all, Leonder's attitude must be determined. If he feels that he is strong enough, feels that Manda has lost value, or even feels that it is time to kill someone to silence him, Manda will not mind taking his life.

Although Manda was tired and injured, with the Pluto's spell in her hand and the help of Siegsel outside, Manda was sure of killing Leonder.

Fortunately, Leonder's attitude did not change. He still maintained respect for Manda and told Manda an important message:

"I know where the Count's vault is, and everything in it belongs to you."

Leonder was not greedy for money, but at this time, he felt that it would be unwise to hide anything from Manda.

Manda followed Leander to the basement of the castle. The first underground floor was the study, and the second underground floor was the count's treasury.

After cutting off the chains and opening the door, the torch passed by and the dazzling golden light made Manda tremble all over.

He stood silently at the door of the vault for half a candle, tears slowly flowing down the corners of his eyes.

There are more than 20,000 gold coins alone. Together with various jewelry and gold utensils, the value of everything in the vault exceeds 40,000 gold coins.

"These all belong to you. It was you who killed the count. It was you who gave me the name of God. It was you who allowed me to own this valley. These should belong to you," Leander said very sincerely, "Of course. I also hope you can leave some for me, the expenses in the valley are not small."

"Two-thirds belongs to me, and one-third belongs to you. Count carefully. You know, I am very sensitive to the smell of gold."

Leonder was pleasantly surprised by Manda's generosity, but after the surprise, there was a hint of gloom on his face.

Back in the Earl's room, Leonder poured Manda a glass of wine and expressed his worries: "The people in the valley are not convinced by me. If I want to truly become the master of the valley, I must be recognized by Typhon, but I don’t know what to do. The Earl is the favored one of the gods. This may come from his bloodline. How can I change my bloodline..."

Manda smiled and said: "I believe that the Earl is Typhon's favored one, but I believe this will definitely not come from his blood. The Earl's talent is so poor. He has been entrenched in the valley for decades and is still only at the third level. Typhon How could he be interested in his bloodline? How could the gods have such bad eyesight?"

Leonde looked slightly embarrassed and said: "I will never reach the third level..."

Manda shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I mean. The Earl must have used some method to gain Typhon's favor. You will definitely be able to find the Earl's method. Start with the people closest to him, the sooner the better."

"The closest people..." Leander pondered for a moment and said, "Except for the personal maid, the only one left is the Sphinx. This is another thing I am worried about. The Sphinx may bring some trouble."

Manda smacked her lips and said, "I have the same worry."

"I don't want to keep her around."

Manda was startled, shrugged and said, "I happen to have the same idea, but we don't want her to stay with us, so where should we let her go?"

Leonder said helplessly: "She has a higher status than me and is older than me. She is more proficient in mastering artifacts than me. Compared with me, she is more qualified to inherit the position of earl. If she is retained, In the valley, you should know my situation..."

"It's a bit embarrassing." Manda held her chin and said in silence for a long time, "I'll give you three days to resolve this matter."

Leonder shook his head and said: "I really can't think of a solution. I really don't want to kill her."

Manda said: "I don't want to either. If you can't solve it in three days, you have to use my method to solve it."

Manda wants the Leo girl to suffer a little, and only after the pain is over can she realize her love for her.

Looking through the count's account books, Manda discovered a surprising account.

"Viscount Sorens sends two hundred gold coins to the earl every year? What is the reason for this?"

Leonder was surprised: "You don't know about this? It seems that your time in the valley is still too short.

Viscount Sorens and the three barons under his rule must pay regular tributes to the earl in exchange for the earl's protection. "

"The count's protection?" Manda asked confusedly, "What protection can the count provide them?"

Leonder said: "The so-called protection means not causing trouble for them. Your father, Baron Claudesay, is also among them. The year before last, your family paid twenty gold coins less as an offering, and by the end of the year, they were in trouble. , you should know about this."

Manda carefully searched the memory of the original owner. The year before last, a nephew of Baron Claudesay seemed to have disappeared.

"That's not a nephew," Leonder explained. "He is an illegitimate child just like you. In the earl's opinion, the price of an illegitimate child is almost twenty gold coins. I mean...well, I don't mean to offend."

Seeing Manda's ugly expression, Leonder quickly shut his mouth.

"But there has been a war between him and the count, will he still pay the tribute?" Manda asked.

"It is precisely because of the war that he needs protection even more. The Earl is not a generous person. At the end of last year, Solons sent an offering in advance, otherwise he might not have lost one or two relatives."

It turns out that this is one of the earl's means of livelihood, which is somewhat similar to the protection fee of later generations.

Of course, being able to save so much wealth cannot rely solely on this protection fee. Other methods can be discussed with Leonde in the future.

Manda stared at the account book for a long time, and finally focused on the name of Viscount Sorens.

"Have someone send him two hundred gold coins tomorrow, and the money will be credited to my account."

Leonder frowned and said: "Why do you do this? Are you worried that I can't control the situation? Then there is no need to please Saurons."

Manda shook his head and said: "I never thought about trying to please him. I firmly believe that you can control the situation and control the larger situation. Give him two hundred gold coins and ask him to help me buy a luxurious manor in Tieshan Town. manor."

"You want to settle down in Tieshan Town?" Leonder asked in surprise, "You don't want the tavern in Niujiao Town?"

Manda smiled and remained silent, and Leonder realized that he shouldn't ask any more questions.

"There's no need to use your money. I'll just exempt him from this year's offerings."

"That won't work, the offering must be paid," Manda sneered. "Not only do you have to pay, but if the harvest is good, the price will also increase. Tell Viscount Saurons that the Haze Valley has changed hands. If he doesn't accept it, let him Know the consequences of losing protection.”

Leonder was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Why don't you stay in the valley? You can become the master of the valley."

Manda smiled: "The valley is too small, and I don't want to live under Typhon's gaze."

There was indeed no problem with Leonde's attitude. Manda went to Eudora's room again. Eudora was telling her sister Sangila about Manda. She had already persuaded Sangila to leave the valley with Manda. .

Sanjira, like Eudora, is a first-level believer of the Harpy. Seeing Sanjira's humble attitude, Manda smiled and said, "She is one of our own now?"

Eudora nodded and said, "Yes, he is one of our own."

After Manda killed the count, Eudora showed much respect to him.

"I want her to do things for me, I want her to take me flying."

"Well, I'll send her to your room right now."

Sanjila blushed, and Manda frowned at Eudora.

Eudora realized she had made a mistake and quickly changed her words: "I'll go with her, right away. The two of us will fly with you..."

"Those things will be discussed later," Manda looked serious. "I want him to take me to Worm. I have to pick them up."
