Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 4: Earl's castle

   had a nightmare all night, Manda woke up to the sound of the beautiful harp.

   sat on the soft wool carpet and looked around by the dim candlelight. He saw the pale yellow walls, the arched roof, the fireplace with sparkling fire, and the curtains swinging with the wind.

   Everything is in sight, everything is so far away, such an empty hall, more than twice as spacious as the hall of the baron’s house.

  Beside the fireplace, a man is playing the harp. Manda can't see his appearance, only his plain white robe can be seen.

   To have such a gorgeous castle, this man must be a nobleman, not an ordinary nobleman.

  Think again about the brightly colored dress of Baron Crowdersey. Such a simple dress does not seem to belong to this era.

   Is he an evil spirit from ancient times? Did all the people who entered the valley died in his hands?

   Manda stared at the man for a short while, unexpectedly kicked by the woman behind him.

   "Rough idiot, don't look directly at the earl."

   is the woman, Manda remembers her voice, that is, she pinched her neck and flew around, and asked some weird questions.

   From this point of view, she should be the earl's subordinate, and the earl should be the master of the valley of grievances.

   Manda looked behind him from the corner. He saw the hem of the woman's skirt, saw a pair of gray bare feet, and saw a pair of delicate leather boots.

   The skirt belongs to that woman, those bare feet should belong to Quinta, and there is a man in leather boots, who is he?

   What do they want to bring themselves here?

  'S hands and feet were not tied up, and he let himself have a solid sleep, which proves that the situation is not too bad, and there may be hope of surviving.

Manda patiently listened to the earl’s performance. The earl was in great interest. After playing one after another, he tapped the neck with his fingers lightly when he was emotional, he looked narcissistic and intoxicated. It's really unbearable.

   After fourteen songs, the earl finally stopped playing and walked to Manda. The three people behind him stepped back neatly and saluted the earl.

   "The fourteen-string lyre is so touching, it is far from comparable to the thirty-six-stringed lyre, young man, raise your head and let me see your face."

   Manda looked up at the earl. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with short brown hair, a long face, thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, high nose, and a clean shaved beard on his face.

   There is no beard at this age. This is really rare. If the believer of the Lord who has been punished by God sees it, he will be arrested as a heresy.

   "What's your name?" the count asked.

   "Manda."

   "Are you from the Claudesai family?"

   "I am the son of Baron Claudesai."

   "So your name is Manda Crowderside?"

   Manda shook his head and said, "I am an illegitimate child, and I don't have a surname."

   "Why did you come here?"

   "I hit my brother and my sister, I can't stand their torment."

   "Poor boy," the earl sighed, "Do you know the consequences of coming here?"

   "My father told me that everyone who enters the valley will die."

   The earl nodded and said, "This is the rule I made with the Claudesai family. It has been decades. There has not been a living person out of this valley. Are you ready?"

   Manda's mouth collapsed, her nose wrinkled, and tears fell down, like a frightened little boy, crying out.

   This is a sincere cry, the earl exudes a unique power, which makes him feel terrified.

   At the same time, he opened the golden finger of his right hand, carefully felt the hardness of the finger, and prepared to fight to the death.

  Earl smelled a different smell, he looked at Manda up and down, but he didn't know where the smell came from.

   This kid is really special. Fear inspired him.

   "Don't cry, I can give you a chance to live, but you must answer my questions honestly."

   Manda nodded vigorously.

   "Which **** do you believe in?"

   Manda's heart tightened, and he remembered the fatal warning in the memory of the original owner that the Lord of God's Punishment is the only God.

   Manda wiped away her tears, and solemnly replied: "I believe in the omniscient, omnipotent, the great and holy God of punishment."

   The voice fell to the ground, and a cold air hit, Manda felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, and the candlelight had dimmed a lot.

   The earl looked at Manda coldly, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the answer to the first question.

   "Do you know which god's blood is flowing on your body?" The earl gave the second question.

   Manda was startled when he heard the words, and then he was ecstatic.

   No wonder they let themselves live to the present, it turns out that they have the blood of gods on their bodies.

   "Are you true?" Manda looked at the earl excitedly, "Is there really blood of the gods on my body?"

  Earl said with a dull expression: "What is there to be proud of?"

   Manda surprised: "Isn't this something to be proud of?"

   The two looked at each other for a long time, and the earl made sure that Manda had not lied.

   The woman behind her laughed and said, "What a stupid kid."

   There was silence for nearly a minute, and the count also smiled, and the temperature in the room slowly rose.

   "If I ask you to change your faith and become a believer of another god, would you agree to it? As long as you want, I can let you live."

   Kunta was startled when he heard the words, and said inwardly: "It's awful."

  In his impression, the believers of the Lord of God's Punishment are hard bones, especially children of this age who don't know how to cherish life.

  As Quinta's humble identity, he shouldn't have spoken at this time, but he still bit his head and whispered: "You are so young and you survive more than anything..."

   Before the words fell, Manda knelt on the ground with a plop, looked up at the earl and said: "It is my supreme glory to be able to follow you."

  The situation has changed so fast that Quinta's thinking can't keep up with Manda's actions.

   Not only did Quinta fail to keep up, the earl was also a little surprised. After a long moment, the earl said again: "Not following me, but following the gods."

   Manda immediately changed his words: "It is my supreme glory to be able to follow the gods."

   Earl beckoned to the woman: "Sphynx, let him see what the **** really looks like."

   The woman walked up to Manda and took off her robe.

   As long as you show your loyalty, you will be rewarded. Manda likes the countenance!

   The woman turned her back to the window. Because of the backlight, Manda couldn't see the details clearly.

   This is so anxious!

   Manda wanted to take two steps forward, but suddenly saw the woman's waist move back, her body leaned forward, and yellow long hairs grew on her skin.

   Manda was stunned. In a blink of an eye, the woman's body had turned into the appearance of a beast. With a strong body, a sturdy tail, plus thick soles and sharp toenails, it looked like a lion.

   But she still kept that handsome face with a strange smile on her face.

   The woman shrugged her shoulders, the change was not over yet, her spine bulged, and she actually grew a pair of wings.

   Sphinx! A monster in Greek mythology, Manda has read legends about her in previous lives.

  My God, is she the **** I want to believe in? Manda instantly sat on the ground, her mouth open for a long time and could not speak.

"The Sphinx has gained the full power of the order, and also the artifact. She already has the name of the god," the earl returned to the harp, flicking the strings gently, "this is what the gods really look like, I will ask you again Once, are you willing to change your faith?"

   "I, yes." Manda gritted his teeth. As long as he can live, nothing is unacceptable.

   "Leonde," the earl said to the man, "let him see you too."

   The man who had been standing behind walked up to Manda, who saw him for the first time.

   This is a man in his thirties with black hair and brown eyes, white face and no beard, very handsome.

   The man did not speak, his expression was very cold, and he was reluctant to see it, but he did not dare to disobey the earl's orders.

   He tilted his head to the left, moved his shoulders a few times, and suddenly another head appeared on the right side of his neck. Manda was frightened and crawled two steps.

   Holding tight, the man tilted both heads to the right, and another head appeared on the left side of his neck.

   Manda couldn't hold back, and yelled "Wow", but the subsequent changes made him lose the strength to scream.

Three heads, three faces began to twist at the same time, the ears became pointed, the brow bones protruded, the snout and nose were bulging, and the black hairs grew thick. Three-headed dog.

   The three-headed dog came to Manda, sniffed at Manda, and licked his forehead.

The earl played the harp again: "Leonde has received the power of God, but he has not yet obtained the artifact, so he has not yet received the name of God. If you become his appearance, Do you want to?"

   "I wish..."

  Wait a minute, it's okay to become their believer, why do you want to be like them?

Manda looked at the earl in surprise. The earl stared at the harp, and opened his eyes from top to bottom. He looked at Manda and said, "Have you made a decision? Become Typhon with us. Believers!"

  Tifeng? Typhon again?

   It turned out not to follow them, but to become them. It seems that people who believe in Typhon will become monsters.

   "I'll ask again, are you willing?" The earl's piano sound became very rapid, and the three-headed dog showed its fangs at Manda.

  The sphinx sphinx walked behind Manda and said softly: "What is always holding a shield, and the shield is getting higher and higher?"

   Manda wiped her pale face and stammered: "Yes, it's fingers, and the shield is nails."

   "You got it right, and got it right again," Sphinx said with a frustrated expression, "I must die, I have no face to live in this world!"

   In the legend of the gods, as long as the question of the sphinx is answered correctly, the sphinx will commit suicide.

   But seeing the sphinx in front of him smashed through the gate of the castle and jumped out, Manda realized that there was a cliff outside the gate, and the castle was built on a cliff.

The Sphinx disappeared instantly. Since she had committed suicide once before, Manda wanted to see if she really fell to death this time. She never thought she flew up again, grabbed Manda’s clothes and laughed wildly. Said: "Die with me!"

   Sphinx grabbed Manda’s clothes and began to fall freely, and Manda’s voice echoed in the valley: "I do, I do!"
