Give Me the Name of God

Because he drank too much, Stanton became a little irritable. He was very dissatisfied with the girls in the room, yelling, scolding, and even hitting them.

He clamored to see Mirada, but when Mirada came to the room, Stanton was beside the bed, looking at the distant night scene and thinking about the philosophy of life.

"My lord!" Mirada cried loudly, "We were robbed by thieves."

Stanton was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I can forgive you if you tell me a joke?"

Mirada shook her head and said: "Sir, I'm not kidding, thieves robbed our treasury!"

Mirada was indeed not joking. Stanton frowned and said, "Where did the thief come from?"

"I have no idea."

"How many were taken?"

"I, I don't know either." Mirada sat on the ground and howled loudly. She was frightened, but she was not stupid. There were some things she didn't dare to say. Like the Dusk Tavern, the Conqueror's Castle is also a "poor" business that cannot afford to pay taxes.

Stanton sobered up, and someone robbed him under his nose!

He was angry for a while, and then fell into panic. This is the Conqueror's Castle, and this is the Grand Censor's business. The Grand Censor's business has been robbed. How can he explain this?

He put on his robe, kicked open the door of the next door, interrupted the critical moment of Manda, and drove the girl out of the door.

"Brother, I'm in trouble. Someone robbed the treasury here and killed many people!"

Manda said in astonishment: "Who is so bold as to dare to come here and act wild?"

Stanton said: "I don't know who did it yet. Please help me stay here and stop the people here from running around, moving around, and talking nonsense. Dispose of the body first and don't let others see it." I'll go back to the official residence and call for help. Even if I search the entire east side of the city, I still have to find these thieves!"

Manda tried his best to keep a serious expression, and for a moment, he almost laughed.

Let me stay here? Is there anything better than this? This is a perfect opportunity to erase clues and eliminate witnesses.

"Don't worry, brother, leave this to me!"

After Stanton left, Manda turned to Mirada and said, "Tell me exactly what happened just now."

Mirada told what happened. She only knew that Moira had lied to her and emptied the vault with the man in black. By the time she escaped from the vault, the man in black had already disappeared without a trace. , only a dozen corpses were left in the back garden.

"Didn't anyone see where they were fleeing to?"

"No one!" Mirada shook her head and said, "Everyone who saw them died, but I am the only one who is still alive."

"Nonsense!" Manda said, "They killed people in the back garden, didn't they make any noise?"

"Did you hear the noise?" Mirada asked.

"I drank too much and just wanted to sleep." Manda said perfunctorily. If she said any more, she might show her timidity.

He did hear the sound of fighting in the room, but it was not loud. His hearing was very special, but others might not be able to hear it.

The girl in his room didn't hear it, which puzzled Manda. He walked around the castle from the back garden to the front garden, only to realize that this was the wisdom of ancient architecture. The castle was in the sound field. In a blind spot, the noise outside will not affect the mood inside, and the sounds inside will not be heard by people outside.

But Manda was still worried. After Mirada took the people to pack up the bodies, Manda ordered to investigate them one by one: "Whether they are guests or your people, everyone must be questioned carefully. No matter what they saw or heard, bring them over immediately." see me!"

Mirada was a little dissatisfied with Manda's attitude. The guests who came here all had some identity, and they could be questioned if they wanted to.

"I know you are a friend of the Sheriff. If you don't mind, can you tell me your name?" Mirada wanted to tell the young man some rules.

"My name is Krechi Monchik, the Sheriff of the south of the city." Manda answered with a smile.

"Krechi Monchik," Mirada seemed to be pinched by someone's neck, "was it you, um, you killed Khamis?"

Manda nodded and said, "If you want to get the gold coins back, just do as I say."

Mirada was quite experienced. She took a fruit basket and walked through every room in the name of delivering fruit. As a result, no one noticed the fight in the back garden.

Manda closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be deep in thought, and suddenly asked: "Are there any believers of the ancient gods here?"

"Are you talking about heretics?" Mirada was a little embarrassed.

"Yes or no?"

"Yes," Mirada didn't dare to hide it, "there is one third-level, one second-level, and two first-level, but they are all dead!"

"All dead?" Manda glared, how dare this damn woman lie? That third level is obviously still alive.

"They are all dead, and their bodies are in the warehouse."

"Take me to see it!"

Mirada brought Manda to the warehouse, pointed to the corpses on the ground and said: "These two are first-level, this is second-level, that third-level... where is Che Erdan?"

"Didn't you say they are all dead?"

"I saw his body just now," Mirada explained hurriedly, "He is right here. He is a follower of Athena and the most capable one."

It turns out that he is a believer of Athena, no wonder he is so smart.

He must be found. He is the only one who has fought against Manda. Although he used illusions to cover up, it is hard to say whether this smart guy will see through his identity.

"This man named Che Erdan is the internal agent of that group of robbers. If you find him, you can get the gold coins back. You send someone to inform Lord Stanton, and I will go outside to look for clues!"

Manda took the opportunity to leave the Conqueror's Castle and winked at a beggar in the alley.

The beggar put away the earthen pot from which he begged for food and quietly disappeared into the night.

Stanton led a group of law enforcement officials around the city like headless flies. Hearing that Manda had found a clue, he hurried back to the Conqueror's Castle.

"You said Che Erdan was an inside agent?" Stanton had some doubts about Manda's judgment, but Mirada was convinced: "Che Erdan was pretending to be dead. I asked people to carry him to the warehouse, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”

Stanton gritted his teeth and said, "Where did he go?"

Manda said: "I found some blood stains outside. He must have fled to the north of the city."

"I knew it was the gangsters in the north of the city who did it! I knew it was them!" Stanton was about to take people to the north of the city. Manda stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'll go with you to avoid disturbing the police in the north of the city." Don’t admit it.”

"Okay, let's go together!" Stanton clenched his fists, "If he dares not to admit his guilt, I will turn the city upside down!"

…

An old beggar came to the Dusk Tavern and wanted to beg for a drink.

The tavern was still full tonight, and the guests burst into laughter looking at the old beggar.

"See? This beggar wants wine!"

"This is the first time I've seen a beggar asking for a drink. Old guy, what else do you want? Do you want to eat meat?"

One of the guests poured a large glass of ale, placed it on the table, and shouted: "Come on, old man, dance for me, and this glass of wine is yours."

The old beggar hesitated for a moment, then came to the center of the hall and stood next to the candlestick.

This is the brightest place in the tavern. It seems that the old beggar really intends to put on a good show.

He opened his arms, stood on tiptoes, and danced a simple dance. His dance was very funny, like a skinny old monkey waving its limbs clumsily. Everyone's attention was attracted, and some Laughing, some scolding, and some still applauding the old beggar.

Everyone's interest was getting higher and higher. Suddenly, the old beggar picked up the candlestick and blew it hard. A huge fireball rose into the sky, floated for a moment, landed on the ground, and ignited the hay all over the ground.
