Give Me the Name of God

Seventy slaves stood neatly in the courtyard, waiting for Manda to be settled.

Fifty men, twenty women, the men are strong, the women are beautiful, Solons really spent his money.

Eudora whispered: "It tastes good."

The smell she was talking about was the smell of believers of the ancient gods, and Manda also smelled this smell.

"The believers of the ancient gods all have special skills, and they should not be reduced to slaves."

"That's not necessarily the case," Eudora shook her head and said in Manda's ear, "Some believers of the ancient gods live a very miserable life. As long as they can beg for food, they can do anything."

Manda smiled and said nothing. The butler of Viscount Solens was still in the yard, and it was obviously not polite to keep whispering.

Viscount Saurons has been dealing with the Haze Valley for many years. He knows how to identify the followers of the ancient gods and how precious they are. Even if there are believers of the ancient gods who become slaves, Saurons will not let such people be buried.

The believer of the ancient god who was delivered to him was undoubtedly a spy, but the question was why did Saurons do this? Test Manda's eyesight? This is too childish.

This was a cover-up he made, putting out a few decoys for Manda to clean up and hiding the real spies.

In his previous life, as an excellent gambler, Manda used all these methods to his advantage. He took in all the slaves and gave a hundred gold coins to the old housekeeper as a token of gratitude to the Viscount. Return gift.

The old butler refused to accept it, but Manda insisted on giving it. After several rounds of giving, the old butler left with the gold coins.

Manda sent all the slaves to the forest and asked them to build wooden houses along the hillside under Ogg's supervision. He wanted to change the undefended state of the forest, and he didn't intend to hide this from Sorens.

At the same time, he asked Worm to lay worm silk in the forest, and asked Lion Girl, Zigese and Sanjila to monitor the movements of this group of slaves. If anyone leaves the forest and breaks into the manor, they will be killed.

Eudora didn't understand Manda's approach: "Why not capture and kill those smelly people first? They are the most suspicious."

"That's not necessary," Manda said with a smile, "I can find out all the spies at any time, but I don't want Saurons to react too violently. As for those ancient god believers, I have to first determine which gods they belong to. , you and Pluto have to re-enter the level, and when we need the blood stone, we will kill and eat it now."

Five days later, Silva hired all the manpower and purchased all the expenses, and the manor began a vigorous renovation. During the day, the young boys were engaged in hard manual labor under the command of Silva. At night, the selected boys had to go to Manda's room alone to undergo special tests.

Every time he sent the young man to Manda's room, Silva couldn't help but lament: "Poor young man, I hope you can be favored by the master."

Manda didn't do anything too drastic to them, she just asked them some questions.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Manu."

"Can you read?"

"I can't read."

"Which god do you believe in?"

"Believe in the Lord of Divine Punishment."

"Are you pious to the Lord?" Manda stared at the young man with cross-eyed eyes.

The young man did not dare to raise his head and whispered: "If you believe in the Lord, you can go to the church and get some black bread every month."

When he said these words, a few copper coins appeared on his face. The young man was telling the truth, and his belief was very cheap.

"I will go to work in the house in the west tomorrow. I must listen to Master Kunta."

This young man is as pure as a blank sheet of paper and a moldable person.

After sending Manu away, another young man came, his name was Collet.

"Which god do you believe in?"

"I believe in Zeus, the Lord of the Gods!" Collet replied loudly, his eyes full of pride.

Manda smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of being burned to death as a heretic?"

"Don't be afraid!" Collet puffed up his chest and said, "Viscount Niujiao is about to attack Iron Mountain Town. The end of the God's Punisher is coming soon, and the era of the ancient gods is coming back!"

Manda nodded and asked again: "Do you want to become a believer of the ancient god?"

"I never dreamed that I would become a believer of the ancient gods."

"Have you met Viscount Saurens?"

"Never seen it before."

Two gold coins flashed on the young man's face, these two sentences were very valuable.

The first sentence represents a promise, but it is unknown who gave him the promise.

The second sentence represented his loyalty. He was lying on behalf of Sorens. Although he knew that it would take a lot of risks, the young man did not hesitate at all.

He was a spy sent by Solons. Solons was so pervasive that there were also his spies among the people hired by Silva.

Manda didn't ask any more questions and arranged for him to work in the forest.

After ten days of investigation, Manda had the situation of all the young people. There are one hundred and fifty-seven useful people who can be molded. This is the benefit of young people. Manda sent them to the West House for education.

Of course, there are also thirty-nine people who are die-hard loyalists to the Lord of Divine Punishment. They have devout beliefs and regard all believers of the ancient gods as heretics.

Such people are left in the main house to do hard labor. After a while, Manda will drive them away. Killing is not allowed. Manda does not want to anger the God Punisher for the time being.

There are fourteen more special people. Some of them can be confirmed as spies, and some are suspected of being spies. All of these people were sent to the forest and will be dealt with collectively at the appropriate time.

The background check was completed and the renovation of the manor took a preliminary look.

Sitting in front of the large desk, Manda picked up the quill and began to write a new summary.

The ultimate goal: to gain the name of God and gain eternal life.

Long-term goal: Raise an army.

Short-term goal: Complete the third level promotion within the year and be able to suppress everyone in terms of strength. (Except Milo)

Current goal: Earn noble status in Iron Mountain Town.

Without a legal identity, no matter how hard he works, it will be in vain. Unless Manda wants to be a savage like Milo, or a mountain king like the earl, otherwise when he reaches a certain level, he will definitely become the God's Punisher and eliminate him. object.

Even if Viscount Gassac finally wins this war, there will still be others targeting Manda, and if he is not careful, he will become someone else's pawn or even cannon fodder.

If you want to survive in this crazy era, being a noble is undoubtedly the best protection.

Eudora rubbed Manda's shoulders and asked, "What exactly are you writing? Is it words or pictures?"

Manda smiled and said: "If you understand one day, I will kill you."

Eudora hugged Manda and said softly: "Don't let me live in fear."

Manda sighed and said: "What can I do? Who makes me live in fear?"

…

At dawn the next day, Silva came to see Manda: "Sir, there is a guest who wants to see you. He is the previous owner of this house, the Lord Pedros."

Manda was startled, it turned out that "grandpa" was here.

What is he here for? Looking at the new owner of his manor, doesn't he feel embarrassed?

"Let your lord wait for a moment, I will change my clothes and go see him."
