Give Me the Name of God

Manda's words left Kunta speechless. Just as Manda said, each of them is taking risks, including Kunta himself.

He hid a lot of things for Manda at the beginning. Even if one thing was known to the earl, he would not be able to escape death.

Among all the people, Manda has the most adventures. From dealing with Campora to fighting the Punisher in front of the dungeon, to a life-and-death battle with the count, dancing on the blade is really not a joke. Manda risked his life to survive. Out of everything today.

Kunta no longer argued, he agreed to conduct the initiation ceremony for Tokar and Tila in five days. During this period, he could do one more thing, test the remedy for loss on himself.

According to the records in the "Book of Priests", lost believers will first experience some physical and mental changes, and then the soul and flesh will gradually split, and finally slowly fall into the chaos of Chaos. However, if the remedy is timely, the final The fall can be avoided, and there is a certain chance that the changes that occurred can be restored, provided that the believer can obtain forgiveness from the natal god.

Quinta's physical changes were caused by wrong sacrifices. He followed the method in the book and sacrificed olive leaves to Athena. He used Athena's wisdom and majesty to appease the anger of Glaucus, the god of prophecy in the sea.

He completed the ritual, but no physical changes occurred. After analysis, Quinta believes that there should be three reasons.

In the first case, he has been forgiven by his natal god, but his body has changed for too long and there is no possibility of recovery.

In the second, the ritual was answered by Athena, but Glaucus refused to forgive himself.

In the third case, the ritual failed and did not receive any response from the gods.

The first is the most optimistic answer. Although I can't change this ghostly appearance, at least Toca can still be saved. If it is the second result, I can at least beg for the mercy of the gods. If it is the third result, I can only Resigned to fate...

In two days it will be the day of Tokar's sacrifice. Kunta told Worm what happened. He knew the relationship between Worm and Tokar. If Worm wanted to escape with Tokar, Kunta was even willing to provide the necessary help. .

But Worm was surprisingly calm. He only made one request, giving Toca a chance to choose. He took Quinta with him and told Toca the truth, but did not tell Linda. He knew that Linda would not let her son take risks.

Toca replied without hesitation: "I do."

Kunta frowned and said: "Little guy, maybe you haven't understood what I mean. I'd better say it more clearly..."

"No need," Tokar shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean, but I can't explain myself clearly."

Toca lifted up his clothes and pointed to the scars on his body and said: "This was beaten by my master when I was working as a day laborer. This was beaten by someone when I was begging. This was beaten by the sergeant of God's Punishment Army. He was beaten by robbers who broke into the tavern, and I don’t want to be beaten for the rest of my life.”

Kunta was silent again. The seven-year-old boy spoke a little erratically, but such simple truth made Kunta unable to refute.

Worm said from the side: "I can protect you."

Toca shook his head and said, "If you are not by my side, who should I hide behind?"

Worm said no more, Kunta nodded silently and began to prepare sacrifices for Tokar and Tila.

Sacrificial offerings from believers of the Lord God were very rare, and there was no black market in Tieshan Town. Manda could only ask the old goat man for help.

The old goat changed from his usual generosity and offered two advanced sacrifices, each priced at 500 gold coins.

At least he could buy things. Manda gritted his teeth and took out a thousand gold coins. When asked about the method of entering the mountain god Uriah, the old goat shrugged and said: "The original gods are too secretive, and what I know is very limited."

"Isn't there a corresponding book? Or is it a stone statue or something?"

"Perhaps," the old goat said with a smile. "The era when the primitive gods created the world was tens of thousands of years ago. I may not know more than you."

Manda asked again about the Titans, but the old goat still refused to say more.

"The Titans cherish their own bloodline very much. You don't need to worry too much. I suggest you stay away from the followers of the Titans. The hatred between the main god and the Titans has never subsided. Our natal gods are gentle and friendly, but we cannot stay away. "

The old goat cherished his words like gold, and Manda did not dare to ask any more questions. He could feel that the old goat had an unimaginable personality. As for that indifferent attitude, there must be some unknown reasons behind it. Before finding some clues, it is best to Don't get too involved.

After completing the sacrifice, Manda had just handed the sacrifice to Quinta when he saw Silva running over nervously and said: "The guards of Baron Claudesay are here and they want to summon you immediately."

"Summon?" A baron did have the right to summon a commoner, but this word made Manda feel very harsh.

"Tell them I'm not at the manor and let them come back some time later."

Silva said: "How long do you want them to wait?"

"In a month," Manda said with a smile, "I think Lord Baron should understand what I mean."

Silva went out to deal with the baron's guards, and Quinta took the opportunity to ask: "That's your father, do you still hate him?"

"I don't hate you at all," Manda said, shaking her head. "I am a tolerant person."

"Really?" Kunta blinked his big eyes.

"Of course it's fake," Manda took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "If you hate someone, you can't make him hurt, let alone let him die. It will only make you suffer. I won't hate him, I will make him hate him. I made his whole family hate me and made them suffer but helpless."

…

Hearing that Craig Monchik was not at the manor, Baron Claudesay frowned. Yesterday, he asked someone to dig up Manda's grave. He used to believe that it was Manda's bones, but now he has some doubts. Yes, his father-in-law, Lord Pedros, is an astute man. He has seen Manda and should not admit his mistake.

"Where could that kid go? I heard that he met Baron Madsen yesterday. Did he leave overnight last night?"

Baron Claudesay was mumbling to himself, and Baroness Attia couldn't help shouting: "He didn't go anywhere, he is in the manor, he just doesn't want to see you! Bring your guards, Get that bastard out of the manor!"

The Baron shook his head and said: "This is still too reckless. We are not sure who he is yet."

"What does it matter who he is? He is just a civilian! Are you afraid of him? Look at how your son was tortured by that bastard? Have you forgotten this shame and hatred!"

The baron remained silent. His son Fox was whipping a new maid downstairs. The maid couldn't help but scream when she saw Fox for the first time. Fox was not wearing a mask at that time and his face was exposed. Horrible scars.

At dawn the next day, Baron Claudesay received a message. He saw Craig Monchik delivering a knight from Viscount Saurens to the gate of the manor, and also gave him a cart of wine.

"I told you, this bastard lied to you!" Atiyah shouted, "Our servant saw him, he is the bastard, he looks exactly like him, it's him!"

Baron Claudesay gritted his teeth and said: "This is not only a lie, but also a humiliation to me. Call the guards to assemble!"
