Give Me the Name of God

　　 In the evening, Sphinx and Bruto returned to the tavern dejectedly, and the transaction did not go smoothly.

　　 They saw the golden apple, and Pluto swore in the name of Typhon that it was absolutely genuine, but it was unexpected that the Marquis of Nars would sit on the floor and raise the price to six hundred gold coins.

　　 Ten million became twelve million. It seemed that the increase was not big, but except for 500 gold coins, they only brought two hundred silver coins of pocket money, and they couldn't get one more.

　　 "There is no other way but to go back and tell the earl." The Lioness sighed.

　　 "Tell the earl? We will come back for half a month!" Pluto's veins violently violently, "Tigray has prepared six hundred gold coins, and it will be too late for us to come back!"

　　 Tigray, a well-known wealthy businessman on the mainland of Oligino, Manda heard them mention this man on the road, and he was also interested in this golden apple.

　　 Leonde, who had just woke up, was a little gloat. He poured a glass of cider and took a casual sip: "Otherwise, what else can we do, can we grab it?"

　　 Pluto growled: "Even if you grab it, you have to grab it back. This is my only chance!"

　　 Leonde sneered: "I admire your courage, but don't expect me to help. This is Artex City, not the small deserted village where you were born!"

　　 "I don't need your help!" Bruto gritted his teeth and looked at Leonde. There was a layer of black air on his body and some scales on his face.

　　 Leonde looked at Bruto with a smile, his body was also black, and a layer of black hair grew on his face.

　　 The Lion Girl must speak up. Driven by despair and jealousy, don't expect the two men to have much sense.

"Sit down for me, or I will let you all lie down here." The Lioness's voice was not high, but the shock was enough. The two men sat on the bed, and Leonde continued to drink cider, but Bruto had nothing to do. Lovingly clutching her long hair.

　　 "Isn't it just a hundred gold coins, I can always think of a way." Manda said suddenly.

　　 "Listen to how easy he said, he deserves to be the son of the baron." Leonde laughed.

　　 Sphinx sighed, took out a string of necklaces from his skirt pocket, and put it on the table: "I bought it by old Yaman last month. It's worth seven gold coins."

　　 No wonder her dress always drops gold coins. Manda has seen this necklace, and it always shows a section on the edge of the dress.

　　 Concentrating on looking at something, Manda can see some hallucinations. According to his inference, these hallucinations represent the value of this thing. This is the first-order supernatural power bestowed on Manda by the gods.

　　 Manda stared at the necklace for a short while, he saw three gold coins, sixteen silver coins, and a pile of copper coins.

　　 It seems that old Yaman has made a lot of difference, and this guy's heart is not as good as it seems.

　　Pluto took off his sword and placed it on the table: "It was made by the craftsmen of Cotai City, and it cost three gold coins when I bought it."

　　 Maybe it was worth so much when I bought it, but now Manda only sees a pile of silver coins, the blade is rusty, and the blade has a gap. Now this sword is not worth a single gold coin.

　　 Sphinx took off his earrings, and Manda was too lazy to take a look. Those earrings must have been bought by Old Yaman, and they were worth no more than forty silver coins.

　　 He looked at the pendant on Quinta's chest, only this thing was still on the table, and Quinta quickly hid the pendant in his clothes. This pendant was very precious to him.

To Manda’s surprise, Leonde took out a gold chain from his rucksack and patted it on the table. It was genuine pure gold. Manda watched attentively for a while and saw three gold coins and A pile of silver coins.

　　 It is strange, why did Leonde help Pluto? This makes Manda a little confused about the relationship between them.

　　Using divine power too often, but Manda doesn't know how to control himself. He has a terrible headache and wants to vomit.

　　No one here cares about him, everyone is counting the wealth at hand.

　　According to their calculations, these things can sell for 20 gold coins in total, but in Manda's view, these things are not worth even ten gold coins.

　　 Leonde shook his head and said, "It seems that we are really going to do a business."

　　 The business he was talking about was not commercial, but robbery. There were many merchants living in the tavern, and a few more votes might be enough to make up a hundred gold coins.

The Sphinx obviously disagrees with his thoughts: "You just said that this is the Artex City. There may be a God's Punishment Army here, and there may even be a Knight Order. If they find out, we can't leave alive! "

　　 Leonde sneered: "If you are as timid as a mouse, how can you qualify for the name of God!"

　　Brutuo stood up and said, "I'm not afraid, I will do it myself, and it won't hurt you!"

　　 Sphinx said angrily: "We robbed the Marquis's territory and expected to buy golden apples from him. Are you all crazy?"

　　Manda had a terrible headache, and really didn't want to hear them quarrel. He pointed to the two boxes of smoke stones beside the bed and said: "Sell that one, it's definitely worth a hundred gold coins."

　　 "A hundred? As far as I know, a wagon of smoke stones is worth at most one gold coin." Quinta bit his finger, not sure if he should speak.

"These smoke stones are not the same! I am the son of a baron. Even if I am an illegitimate child, I have seen good things. Find someone who knows the goods and sell them. Let's go and exchange for golden apples!" Manda rubbed his forehead vigorously. His head is about to split.

　　 The room was quiet for a while, and Manda took the opportunity to get into the quilt and covered her head with a pillow.

　　 "Maybe you can try it." There was a glimmer of hope in Bruto's eyes.

　　 "But that is a gift for the Marquis, and there is another box for the Earl..." Quinta continued to bite her fingers.

　　 "As long as no one speaks too much, we can assume that nothing has happened." Leonde poured another glass of wine.

　　 "Where can I find someone who knows the goods?" The Lion Girl fell into thought.

　　...

　　 At dawn the next day, Manda, who had been asleep all night, regained some energy. When he opened his eyes, he saw the pendant on Quinta's chest. He hurriedly shifted his eyes to avoid hallucinations.

　　 Sphinx set off with Bruto and Leonde. They took five hundred gold coins and two boxes of smoke stones, and went to the marquis' mansion.

　　 They discussed it all night and came to a conclusion that the Marquis of Nars was the most acquainted person among the people they knew.

　　 Manda spent the whole morning practicing how to control his supernatural powers. At first, the situation was terrible. As long as he stared at an object for three seconds, coins would fall from his eyes.

After 　　 tried dozens of times, he gradually found some feelings, and he could barely control the concentration of his attention.

　　 When the concentration reaches more than 50%, he can see the vague hallucinations. When the concentration reaches 70%, the hallucinations become very clear. Continue to concentrate, and the forehead starts to hurt sharply. The pain will be unbearable, and the hallucinations will disappear.

　　 After practicing like this until noon, Manda finally found a completely controllable method.

　　 stretched his index finger between his eyes. After turning into cross-eyed eyes, he could clearly see the coin.

　　 Then put your finger in your mouth and bite hard, the hallucinations will be in pain.

The 　　 method seemed silly, but it was very effective. Manda stood on the bed and laughed wildly, scaring Quinta into the quilt.

　　 Manda smiled righteously, and Sphinx suddenly pushed the door and walked in, holding Manda around in a circle.

　　 "Little guy, tell me, what is red, green, and gold!"

　　 "It's an apple." Manda pouted, "If you can't find a decent riddle, don't ask questions easily. According to Sphinx's rules, you don't know how many suicides should be done!"

The Lioness was not angry at all, she kissed Manda fiercely on the forehead: "Be careful, you are so clever. Nars accepted the two boxes of smoke stones, they are really worth a hundred gold coins! "

　　 Bruto walked into the room, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have cried fiercely. He held a box in both hands and placed it carefully on the table.

　　 He knelt on his knees, raised his hands high, and began to pray, his voice trembling and vague, Manda couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

　　 Obviously, there were golden apples in this wooden box, and Manda asked, "Did he get the name of God?"

　　 Sphinx shook his head: "It's not possible now, I have to return to the temple of Typhon to complete the sacrifice."

　　The last one who walked in was the three-headed dog Leonde. He was lying on the bed with a dull look as if he had lost his soul.

　　 First gloating, then risking death to help, and now jealous, Manda really can't understand Leonde's temperament.

　　 Quinta leaned forward, blinking her egg-sized eyes, rubbing her hands and saying to Bruto: "Can you show me what a golden apple looks like?"

　　 "That won't work," Bruto shook his head repeatedly, "This is a blasphemy against Ladon."

　　 Quinta looked disappointed: "Just one look, can't it?"

　　 Bruto looked at the Sphinx. Sphinx pursed his mouth and smiled: "I don't think the gods will mind the look of the admirer."

　　 "Then... take a look!"

　　 Bruto carefully opened the exquisitely crafted wooden box, and the dazzling golden light immediately filled the room.

Manda leaned forward and looked at the golden apple in the box that was slightly smaller than a fist. From the curvature of the stem to the stripes on the peel, the pure gold apple was indistinguishable from the real apple. The urge to take a bite.

　　 The round and smooth surface has no edges, corners and flaws. Such a perfect thing cannot come from the mortal world. It must be the fruit of the sacred tree.

　　 Except for Leonde, who was unlovable, the remaining four people surrounded the golden apple, deeply intoxicated in the golden light.

　　 Manda put his index finger on the tip of his nose and turned into cross-eyed eyes. Out of curiosity, he wanted to see the value of this artifact.

　　 Unsurprisingly, gold coins appeared in front of him like spring water. This was a gift from Gaia to Zeus and Hera. Manda was really worried that his divine power was not enough, and he might be swallowed by hallucinations.

　　 Uh... the situation is not the same as imagined, the spring water of gold coins did not last long...

　　 Manda carefully counted it over and over again, and his heart slowly became suspended.

　　 He bit his index finger severely, withdrew his supernatural power, and said to the Sphinx: "Have you really seen the wealthy businessman named Tigray?"

　　 Sphinx nodded and said: "I see, a man in his thirties, he said, he is Tigray."

　　 So you don’t know him.

　　 Manda pursed her lips and looked at the tearful Bruto, not knowing what to say for a while.

　　 Forty gold coins, only forty.

　　 This golden apple is far cheaper than Manda expected.
