Give Me the Name of God

Stringing all the pieces of information together, Manda makes a wild guess about Minister of State Lexio. He considered the Minister of State to be a follower of Hera.

This is not just imagination. According to Kunta's translation, the first-level skill of Hera believers is called "If I say yes, I will be yes, and if I say no, I will say no."

Sounds arcane, but bears a striking resemblance to the Minister of State, who has the ability to turn truth around.

According to the records in the divine tree, Hera is very good at taking away other people's sanity. It may be the talent of followers of Hera.

That night, the king summoned his henchmen to observe the situation of the refugees on the city wall. The number of refugees doubled overnight, and the cries of more than 20,000 refugees made everyone terrified.

Everyone's attention was focused on the city, only Manda focused on the back of the Minister of State Affairs.

He has always regarded the Minister of State Affairs as a stupid pig, and has never used his skills to spy on the Minister of State Affairs. He never believes that a person as stupid as Lexio can be a believer in the ancient gods.

Manda exhausted all his strength and used his first-order skills to the extreme. Through layers of camouflage, he finally saw the opponent's blood stone.

That was countless gold coins, and Lexio's bloodstone was even more expensive than that of the drunkard Milo.

This proves that his strength is above the fifth level, the previous speculation has been confirmed, and all the clues are connected.

Twenty years ago, Lexio, who was still a general at the time, left the capital for some reason, but he didn't go to find his son.

According to Milo's narration, if the fifth-order believers want to continue to be promoted, they must complete the contract with the gods.

At that time, Lexio must have reached the fifth level, and the contract between him and the gods was a bit special, forcing him to leave the capital, which would take eight years.

As for why looking for his son was used as an excuse, according to Manda's inference, it was because Lexio needed a new identity.

The aging speed of the fifth-order believers is extremely slow. Lexio left the capital at the age of fifty and was close to sixty when he returned to the capital. If he has not aged, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

He left the royal capital in the name of looking for his son, but actually gained a new life as a son. When he returned to the royal capital, his "son" was around forty years old, and a fifty-year-old man with a little Dressing up, coupled with the excellent physical fitness and vigorous experience of the believers of the ancient gods, it is easy for people to believe that he is only forty years old, so that he can not only conceal his ageless physique, but also continue to be active in the political arena as a mature man.

In the next ten years, he completely changed the image of the all-powerful famous general, acting dull and cowardly. He used the skills of Hera followers to take away the reason of the king and ministers, reversed right and wrong, manipulated the political power, and also behaved very innocent.

Think about how he cried in the palace, just like Hera in the book.

It's not wrong, he is a sixth-order believer of Hera, and his status as a minister of state affairs is also in line with his status as an outstanding man.

Why was he not influenced by the minister of state affairs? According to Manda's speculation, there are two reasons, one is Hermes' wisdom bonus, and the other is the Minister of State's contempt for him.

He hasn't tried his best to deal with him. If he really shows the strength of a sixth-order believer, Manda doesn't know how long he can last.

Manda was trembling, he felt a fear he had never had before, even when he faced the seventh-order believer in Zeus' palace, he was not as scared as he is today.

The seventh-order believer did not hide his strength, but the minister of state affairs concealed it so perfectly. If he had shown the slightest offense to him at the beginning, he might have lost his life.

Long Gesen patted Manda on the shoulder, he thought Manda was afraid of the refugees in the city.

"Is there an answer to what I asked you during the day?" Long Gesen asked in a low voice.

"Give me five days, and I will try my best to persuade them to leave."

"Five days..." Long Gesen looked at the king with a worried expression, afraid that the king didn't want to wait any longer.

"Lungerson, where are your soldiers!" cried the king, "drive out these mobs! If they don't leave, kill them at once!"

Long Gesen lowered his head and did not make a sound. Manda leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty, give me five days, and I will do my best to make them leave."

"I don't want to wait another day!" cried the king.

Thinking of the usual actions of the minister of state affairs, Manda had an idea, and saluted: "My lord, you have also seen that they are the subjects of the kingdom, please give them a chance to live."

The Minister of State has always advocated a gentle solution to the problem. This may also be related to the contract with the gods. You might as well try to gamble.

It's good to win the bet, and I finally have an explanation for Long Gesen, and there are many young and middle-aged people among the refugees, which can also add some population to Seven Star Mountain.

It doesn't matter if you lose the bet. Long Gesen will not blame himself if he tries his best anyway, and he will leave a pedantic image of the "Mother" to the minister of state affairs, which will further relax his guard against himself.

Manda had won the bet, and as he had expected, the Minister of State did not want to see the killing.

"Let Count Monchique try it, five days is not too long."

The king nodded: "Five days, just five days, after five days, all those left behind the city will turn into corpses!"

...

Back at the mansion, Manda immediately called for Cherdan to discuss the admission of refugees.

"As long as the young and middle-aged people are over ten years old and under fifty years old, try to trick them away and send them to Mount Bergmia."

Cherdan immediately made a plan, and it would not be difficult to coax the refugees, but some of the details still needed to be discussed with Manda.

"Refugees usually move with their families. If they meet people who want to bring their wives, children and parents with them, should they be accepted?"

Manda shook his head and said, "It's better not to have such a person."

"Your Excellency, you must be cautious about this matter. I am not someone who abuses sympathy, but if you give hope to a refugee and turn around and reject him, this may lead to very serious consequences."

Manda nodded. What Cherdan said made sense. Once the anger of the refugees was ignited, not only would the plan go to waste, but it would also lead to disastrous consequences.

"Take it with you, and we'll deal with it when we arrive at Bergmia Mountain."

Cherdan has another concern: "How do we avoid conflict with Barkern? I guess he doesn't want the refugees to leave."

This is a big problem. Refugees are Bakorn's weapon, and Manda wants to poach his corner, so the conflict is almost inevitable.

If you can't avoid it, don't avoid it. In view of the lessons of Longerson, it is not a bad thing to have a proper conflict with God's Punisher.

"As long as no one is killed, a little conflict is nothing!"

That night, Manda led the crowd over the city wall and arrived at the refugee gathering place.

Guattel glanced around among the sleeping refugees and woke up a man in his thirties.

"Are you a craftsman?"

The man was stunned and said: "I can make pottery and blacksmith, you, how do you know?"

"Want to work?" Guattel took out a few coins, "The salary is not much, but it is enough for a meal."

The man looked down at his wife and children sleeping beside him, shook his head and said, "I can't leave them behind."

"I didn't tell you to leave them behind," Guatell took out a loaf of bread and stuffed it into the man's hand, "Eat it, come with me when you're full, and take them with you."
