Give Me the Name of God

Niujiao Town, its name is even more earthy than Tieshan Town sounds, but this is a town in the true sense, much larger than Tieshan Town, and slightly bigger than the rich Yanshi Town. .

Niujiao Town is located at the main traffic road. The lord is Viscount Gessac. The Gessac family ran the fifth here. There are walls outside the town and guardsmen. There are more than four thousand people living in the town. It is like a small city. .

　　 After paying the poll tax, I entered the town, and it was already the afternoon when I found Dunison's place. He is the guild president of the Niujiao Town Wine Merchants, as long as he is found, it is equivalent to finding a business license.

　　 Dunnison is a small man in his forties, he is not more than 1.5 meters tall, he has dark red curly hair, a full beard, and a pair of light brown eyes revealing the unique sophistication and cunning of a businessman.

　　 After reading the Earl’s letter, Dunison showed an unpredictable smile on his face. He first looked at Worm and asked: "Are you Remus?"

　　 Worm didn't respond, his eyes were looking away, as long as he got to a crowded place, Worm became depressed and irritable.

　　Dunison didn’t care about Worm’s attitude, and then asked Manda: "Your name is Nidali?"

　　 Manda nodded and pointed at Worm and said, "He is my father."

　　 Remus and Nidali are pseudonyms given to them by the earl, and their nominal relationship is father and son.

　　 Dunnison read the letter again, shook his head and said, "You want to run a tavern? It's not a good idea. Look at your father's face, there won't be any guests coming, so it's better to sell livestock."

This can be regarded as a pertinent suggestion. The cattle market in Niujiao Town is very famous. Farmers from surrounding villages and towns come here to buy and sell cattle. Many aristocrats also come here to do cattle business. The mainstream business market is clear, and Manda has really switched careers. Intend.

　　Korvom said suddenly: "We are going to open a tavern."

　　 The gloomy tone seemed unacceptable, Dunison shrugged and took out a deed.

"There is an old shop on the west side of the town that has been in the tavern business for decades. The owner moved to Cotai City last year. Because he was in a hurry, he gave the tavern to me. The price is well negotiated. Only 25 gold coins. If you are willing, I will take you to the tavern now."

　　 Twenty-five gold coins? Are you kidding me? In Tieshan Town, twenty gold coins are enough to buy a manor.

　　 Manda was about to bargain, but saw Worm take out his purse, counted twenty-five gold coins and handed them to Dunnison.

　　 This made Dunnison scared stupidly: "You haven't seen the tavern..."

　　 "Yes," Manda yelled from the side, "At least I'll pay for it after watching it!"

　　Worm touched Manda's head and said with a dull expression: "Listen to Dad."

　　……

　　 The tavern is far away from Dunnison’s residence, and it is already dusk when I walked to the place. Judging from the scale of the building alone, these twenty-five gold coins are worth the money. The four buildings form a spacious courtyard. The front is a three-story building. The first floor is a lobby, the second floor is a single room, and the third floor is a guest room. Obviously, this is the main part of the tavern.

　　 The left side of the yard is the barn and the forage room, the right side is the warehouse, and behind it is a two-story building where the shopkeeper lives.

The area of ​​the entire tavern is almost the same as the castle of the Viscount Claudesai. Of course, the quality of the building is not comparable. The castle is made of large flat stones, and these buildings are similar to the farmer’s longhouse. The wood is made of frame, clay and The stones form a wall, and there are a few small holes in the wall, which can barely count as windows.

　　 The place is quite big, but it’s too remote. Standing on the third floor, looking out from the outside, you can’t see ten houses at all. The surrounding area is full of broken bricks and rocks, like the wreckage of a large building.

　　 Manda squinted at Dunnison: "You can do business in this kind of place?"

　　 Dunnison sighed: "This used to be a good place. If you change it to five years ago, you might not be able to buy this tavern for seventy gold coins.

　　 Did you see the pile of rocks? It was originally the temple of Ares. The soldiers who came here every year to make sacrifices were enough to make the tavern full every day, and the wine in the tavern was not even enough for them to sacrifice.

　　 Until the temple was demolished, there were still many soldiers sneaking over to make sacrifices. The soldiers were always a little bit stubborn.

Later, they were discovered by the god-punisher. You should know what the consequences were. There are still many stakes left there, and not only the soldiers but also the civilians living around were burned to death by the god-punisher. After a year After a lot of bloodbath, no one would dare to live here. "

　　 Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, Manda nodded solemnly: "What a sad memory, but what does it have to do with me? There is no business here at all!"

　　 Dunnison spread his hands out: "I can give you a different place, but you have to think about it clearly. In the most prosperous street in the town, fifty gold coins may not buy a tavern, and it's not half as big as this place."

　　 "What does it matter if it is small, this is only suitable for a cemetery!"

　　 Manda turned to go downstairs, but Worm accepted Dunison's deed.

　　 "We choose here."

　　 "What are you doing here..."

　　 "Listen to Dad." Worm touched Manda's head again.

　　……

　　 Dunnison left, and when he left, he deliberately inserted a wooden pole with leaves into the door of the tavern, which was regarded as a sign for the tavern.

　　 "Remember, you have to pay a fee of thirty silver coins every year!"

　　 Thirty silver coins? This bad place makes less than ten silver coins a year.

　　 Manda came to the hall holding a candle, enduring the pungent dust, and taking inventory of the remaining belongings in the tavern.

　　 From dusk to dark, he searched for almost an hour, except for the thatch on the floor and a brood of mice, but he found nothing.

　　 didn't even leave a wine barrel. It seems that the former shopkeeper walked quite embarrassed.

Manda calculated the supplies in the tavern. He had to buy a wine cabinet, some wine barrels, and wine glasses. Even the cheapest wooden wine glasses would cost two copper coins, a light stand, candles, and others. The curtains, I almost forgot. Upstairs is the guest room, where there is no bed or bedding...

　　 ate some bread with the water from the well. The two slept in the hall for one night. The next day, Manda went to town to buy it.

　　Earl only gave them the capital of 30 gold coins, and spent 25 gold coins to buy the tavern, and had to leave at least three gold coins for the valley to buy food for the next month.

All things can only be bought at the cheapest price. Fortunately, Manda has a pair of good eyes. He spent 60 silver coins to buy back a batch of furniture and wine utensils, and spent 20 copper coins to hire two female workers to move the tavern up and down. Cleaned up.

Wine cabinets and wine barrels were standing on the wall, and large and small wine glasses were placed on the counter. The pub finally had a look. Manda put some firewood into the firepit, waiting for the guests to come to the door expectantly, but suddenly realized A serious problem, there is not a drop of wine here.

　　 What pub without wine? Manda was about to buy some cheap ale in the town, but saw a carriage parked at the door, and the coachman was looking into the tavern.

　　 Manda smiled awkwardly: "We haven't opened yet."

　　 "I'm not here to drink," the coachman waved his hand repeatedly, "Dunison asked me to come, and he said I can come here to sell grapes."

Grape? Raw materials for winemaking?

　　 Manda lifted the curtain on the car, and the fragrance of grapes came out.

　　 "This is a good grape, a full 800 pounds, only five silver coins."

　　 Manda made a cross-eyed, stared at Grape for a while, shook his head and said: "At most two silver coins, I will not give one more."

　　 "Little master, take a closer look at the fineness of this grape. If it weren't for Dunison's sake, I wouldn't sell it if it was missing seven silver coins."

　　 "If you don't sell it, I will take it away, please convey to Dunnison. I appreciate his kindness."

　　 Grapes are good grapes. If you ask for three silver coins, Manda will endure it, but the other party has no intention of counter-offering at all, and is still relying on Dunison's relationship to stay away.

　　 Isn't this a strong buy and sell? How can Manda suffer such a loss? He was about to teach the coachman a lesson, but saw Worm stepping out, counting out five silver coins and handing it to the coachman.

　　 The coachman took the silver coin and unloaded the car happily. Manda sighed and said, "I want to listen to my father, right?"

　　Warm nodded and said, "Dad is going to make wine. Don't go near the warehouse, otherwise I will mix your blood in the wine."

　　 "What's so good about brewing?" Manda snorted, took the candle back to the hall, and began to organize the notes of the two days.

　　 Favorable factors:

　　 escaped the earl’s surveillance ~www.wuxiahere.com~ you can find the opportunity to try the sacrifice method.

　　 Disadvantages:

　　 still don’t know how to arrange the altar of Hermes.

　　 The money is not enough to make ends meet, and life will be very difficult.

　　Short-term goals:

　　 Attempt to buy a divine object through sacrifice.

Medium-term Goal:

　　 Find a way to promote a second-tier believer.

　　 The room has not been cleaned up, Manda slept in the hall for another night, and the next morning, he was woken up by a livestock dealer.

　　 "Is there any wine?"

　　 "No!" Manda wrapped the blanket in an angry manner. In early winter, the remaining warmth in the blanket was extremely precious.

　　 "I can smell it, don't you want to do business?"

smell? Manda sniffed, and the clear smell of wine made him feel excited.

　　 He trot to the yard and saw two wine barrels in front of the warehouse, exuding a rebellious fragrance.

　　 "Take it for sale!" Worm's voice came from the warehouse.

　　 "That counts, has it opened?" Manda seemed to see a bright future.

　　 Worm didn't speak, but laughter came from the warehouse. This was the first time Manda heard Worm's laughter.

　　 Manda touched the barrel, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't rush to do business. The first glass of wine should be dedicated to the gods."

　　Worm walked out of the warehouse and whispered: "Should you worship Tifeng here?"

　　 "If you want to worship Tifeng, you have to return to the valley first. Here we are merchants," Manda laughed. "Think about it, who is the merchant's shelter?"

　　Warm said: "I want to sacrifice to Hermes? But there is no statue of Him here."

　　 "Do you want to be burned to death by the God's Punisher?" Manda suppressed his voice to the lowest level, "One altar is enough. The most important thing is piety."
