Give Me the Name of God

At noon, Leander, covered in blood, stumbled down the temple and, with the help of two harpies, entered the cave of the witch Portia.

Leander's cheeks were exposed with white bones, and his clothes were soaked with blood. The old witch ordered the witch Zarya: "Quickly, take off your clothes!"

"Okay!" Zarya started to take off her skirt and was kicked hard by the old witch.

"Who asked you to take off his clothes? Take off his clothes!"

Since becoming the master of the valley, Leonder and the old witch have become a lot estranged. Because they are in a cooperative relationship, some conflicts have also broken out between the two parties.

But seeing Leond become like this, the old witch turned into the familiar old mother again. She wiped the bone-deep wounds on Leond's body and asked: "Who changed you?" Is it like this?"

"Yes, my master..." Leander said with difficulty.

"Typhon, why did He do this to you?"

Leonde tried to speak, but was choked by a mouthful of blood.

The old witch helped Leond vomit up a mouthful of blood, looked at Leond's physical condition, shook her head and said: "My child, you can't hold it any longer. You must transform into the form of a three-headed dog and use the body of a three-headed dog." Helping you get through it.”

Leonde shook his head and said: "I can't become a three-headed dog. I'm no longer a three-headed dog..."

Grand Duke Shelty stayed in Longyin City for five days. During these five days, he met with the Minister of State Lesio and the second prince Ticas, and said many touching words. Ticas I was even moved to tears by his words.

Although Grand Duke Besariu reminded him repeatedly that Prince Tikas had inherited the throne, Grand Duke Shelty never changed his tune and still called Tikas His Highness.

Bessaliu and Lesio know very well what Sheltai thinks. If they know Manda's response strategy, they should make a brilliant summary of Sheltai's attitude at this moment - he is talking about Gildan! And it's serious.

On the fifth day, Besariu lost his patience and hoped that Shelty would take a stand.

The price is very simple. As long as the new king's status is recognized, Shelty will get the entire southwest.

This sounds irresistible. The royal capital of the Romulu Kingdom is located in the north. The territory in the south is larger than the north. It also has two territories due south and southwest. Sheltai is equivalent to getting half of the territory of the Romulu Kingdom.

But Shelty did not buy it: "Whether it is the southwest or the south, it is the territory of the kingdom. We are just the ministers of the kingdom. As for who will take care of the territory, it depends on the decision of His Majesty the King."

"His Majesty the King is here."

"The royal capital has just held a succession ceremony, and the ceremony was blessed by the archbishop."

Besa Liu lowered his face and said: "In other words, do you approve of the false king established by the God Punisher?"

"Which is true or false should not be judged by us, but should be chosen by the people of the kingdom. Again, we are all subjects of the kingdom, and we will definitely spare no effort to serve the kingdom."

Shelty started to talk nonsense again, and Besa Liu didn't want to give him a chance to talk nonsense this time.

"You can only choose one, the real king or the false king of the capital, you can only choose one!" Besalius made it clear.

Shelty smiled slightly and said: "I obey the arrangements of the kingdom."

What a clever sentence, and to put it more bluntly, he will listen to whoever wins.

The hall immediately became quiet, and there was a slight chill in Besa Liu's eyes.

"It's a pity that we couldn't reach an agreement." Besaliu lowered his head and looked at Shelty with rolled eyelids. "I think you should know my rules. To me, there are only two kinds of people in this world. One is a friend, the other is an enemy.”

Shelty sighed and said: "After so many years, you still haven't changed at all. I think you haven't forgotten my rules. I don't like war, but I am not afraid of war. You have many enemies, and I don't mind becoming one of them." one of."

After this conversation ended, the meeting between the two Grand Dukes also came to an end. On the same day, Shertai led his men to leave Longyin City, went upstream along the Lansha River, and embarked on their way back to Miaoyin City.

The Lansha River is very wide, and the waves on the water surface are a gem-like blue. Sitting in the gorgeous cabin, enjoying the singing and dancing, and the waves outside the window, Grand Duke Shelty fell into deep thought.

He didn't want to fall out with Besa, but he didn't want the south to be involved in the war of succession.

As for the conditions offered by Besa Liu, Shelty didn't take it to heart at all. The southwest was so poor, what was the point of getting it? What value could the Southwest have besides ore?

Moreover, once the kingdom falls into chaos, taking over the southwest is a matter of time. The only threats there are the four marquises. Moritz from Parrot City is a softie, Almen from Blackwater City is far away on the border, and Sailin from Turbulence City is a weakling. For those who know the rules, Webner of Bluestone City is considered a tough guy, but even with his little military strength, he doesn't have the capital to go against him.

But Besa Liu's attitude made him a little nervous. His troops were slightly inferior to his own, and his food reserves were not as good as his own, but he had a lot of gold coins in his hands. Shelty's attitude towards the southeast was different from that of the southwest. He would use the extra food with Cloth is collected from the people at a low price and then sold to merchants in the southeast. While earning the price difference, they can also obtain taxes from the merchants.

In other words, he is not worried about Besa Liu going to war with him, but he is worried about Besa Liu ending trade. He has a trade dependence on Besa Flow, but Besa Flow has no dependence on him. The southeast has a long coastline. As long as Besaliu is willing, he can buy everything he wants from the sea.

We have to find an opportunity to ease the relationship with Besa-ryu, of course, without getting involved in the war.

After wandering on the river for more than ten days, Shelty returned to Saraswati City, only to find a large number of cargo ships parked at the port outside the city.

These ships were not for transporting grain or cloth, but for transporting ore.

Shelty called the port officials and asked: "What's going on? Why did they send the ore here? Let them send it to Qingyan City immediately!"

Wonderful Sound City rarely receives ore, and it is not a place for iron-making. Iron-making craftsmen and workshops are concentrated in Qingyan City. It is impossible for Shelty to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transport these ores there.

The port officer explained: "Sir, many merchants have been robbed in the Crispy Rock Valley. Their iron ore cannot be transported to Qingyan City and can only be transported here by water."

"Being robbed in the Crispy Rock Valley? How is this possible?" Shelty personally gave Davron an order to never rob an iron ore businessman. Davron has been stationed in the Crispy Rock Valley for several years and has never made such a mistake. .

"I will ask someone to verify this matter, and let these businessmen leave immediately!"

Shelty turned around to leave when he suddenly saw a businessman kneeling in front of him and said, "Grand Duke, please accept our ore. We don't have the money to hire horses and carriages to take them to Qingyan City."

Another businessman knelt down and said: "Sir, this is the last time we do ore business. Marquis Moritz has blocked the port. We have spent countless efforts to transport these ores here. Please help us."
