Give Me the Name of God

All the ministers left, and Prince Susi also wanted to follow, but Manda suddenly stopped him.

"Sir, it's time for you to help me."

Sus looked at the Grand Duke: "Could that friend you mentioned be..."

Manda shrugged her eyebrows and said nothing.

Susi looked at the Crown Prince again, and it turned out that he was the subject to be verified today.

In this situation, it is best not to say anything. Soos called Tinian, a believer in the Kitchen God. Tinian came to the Grand Duke, bowed deeply and said: "I need a drop of your blood."

Shelty stretched out his hand, and Tinian took out a delicate steel needle, pricked Shelty's finger, and collected a drop of blood in an iron can.

Shelty looked at the crown prince, and Tinian walked to the crown prince's side.

The prince slumped and sat on the ground, shaking his head and murmuring: "Father, I am your son, you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't believe that liar's lies..."

Shelty said with a dull expression: "I never believe the lies of liars, and this matter has nothing to do with liars."

Manda curled her lips and murmured: "Which of us is not a liar?"

Although the prince struggled hard, Tinian still got a drop of blood. She sealed the tin can, held it in her hand, and began to pray to the goddess calmly.

Manda thought this would be a trick to recognize relatives by shedding blood, but the moment he heard the prayer, he smelled the breath of divine power. This was indeed the skill of a believer.

After the prayer, Tinian handed the tin can directly to Shelty. She didn't want to know the result, which was considered a respect for Shelty.

"If there are beautiful flowers in the jar, it proves that the prince is of your blood. If it is a snake..."

Tinian didn't say anything further, she retreated to Suss' side in a polite manner.

Shelty opened the jar. Manda was curious about what was inside, but couldn't go up to see it, so she gave Worm a wink.

Worm glanced sideways and winked at Manda.

Something is moving in the jar.

Shelty resealed the tin can and returned it to Tinian. Tinian turned on the stove and burned the contents in the can to ashes, which showed that she had not peeked into the Grand Duke's privacy.

Shelty looked at the Crown Prince expressionlessly, and the Crown Prince huddled on the ground, shaking into a ball.

After staring for a long time, Shelty suddenly smiled: "Go back, child, you are my son."

The prince cried with joy, saluted his father several times with tears in his eyes, and left the hall trembling.

Shelty looked at Suss, who understood and left the hall with his men.

Now only Shertai, Manda and two guards were left in the hall.

Shelty's anger seemed to disappear, and his whole person became empty and powerless.

Manda smiled: "You already know the answer, it's almost time to set off."

Shelty's voice was so low that it was difficult to recognize: "Let me stay one more night. I have one more thing to do, and I have to leave with dignity."

"This makes me a little embarrassed, considering you have done so many things for me..." Manda winked behind Sheltai again, not to Worm, but to another guard.

The guard was about the same height as Worm, and the shadow of his iron helmet covered his entire face. No one could see what he looked like.

He stood behind Shelty, touched Shelty's back with his hand, pulled hard near his spine, and pulled out a dark worm.

Shelty trembled, holding his chest and coughing violently.

This guard is Ashuraf, a fifth-level believer of the God of Darkness.

This worm was his talisman. He almost killed Manda with a worm. After being captured, he finally became Manda's subordinate after nearly a year of persuasion.

He placed three spells on Sheltai, and the three worms were absorbing Sheltai's divine power. Only with the dual control of Worm and Ashuraf could Sheltai be forced to accept Manda's mercy.

Shelty wanted to stay one more night in the City of Wonderful Sound, which was a huge risk for Manda, but he still agreed to Shelty's request. He couldn't push too hard for such a tough guy.

Moreover, there is some truth in what Shelty said. The Grand Duke must be allowed to leave decently, return in the evening, and leave overnight. This is unreasonable in any case.

Of course, the premise of staying is that Sheltai is still within the control range. He originally planned to take out all three talismans immediately after he left the City of Wonderful Sound. Now he can only take out one. This can ensure that the Grand Duke is alive, but he does not have the power to use it. Skill.

…

That night, Shelty slept in a side hall of the castle, ignoring his wife waiting in the palace.

At dawn the next day, Sheltai summoned his ministers and announced two important things.

First, the battle in the southwest is not over yet. He will go on an expedition today, and matters in the territory will continue to be taken care of by the Chief Administrative Officer Manda Claudesay.

Second, on his way back, he discovered that there were thieves along the Lansha River, burning, killing, looting, and harming one party. This group of thieves must be wiped out.

Manda was very surprised. He had never been diligent enough in government affairs, but Miaoyin City continued to deliver food to Parrot City through the Lansha River. He had never heard of any rumors related to thieves.

Could it be that these unlucky thieves were accidentally met by Shertai?

Impossible, he was locked in the cabin all the way, and even if there were thieves, there was no way he could see him.

There may be a conspiracy here...

While he was thinking about it, Shertai had already assigned a task. He gave the prince a thousand soldiers and asked him to go to Lansha River to suppress the bandits.

What is this attempt? Want his son to take over military power?

Does he want his son to rebel against him? Just a thousand soldiers? Just based on his son's poor IQ?

After the meeting, Shertai left the City of Sound and came to the port. It was only then that he revealed his true intention.

"Thank you for retaining my dignity. Please maintain this dignity to the end. I don't want to expose my family scandal, but I can't let him threaten my biological son and let him die on the battlefield."

It turned out to be this. I had to admit that nobles valued reputation, so Manda was naturally willing to oblige in this matter.

Shelty left, and so did Susi. He rushed back to Longyin City and told the news to Grand Duke Besaliu.

Looking at the documents that Susi got back, Besaliu couldn't believe his eyes. The first document came from three years ago, when Manda first came to Tieshan Town. The general content of the document is that the king ordered Manda to live here temporarily as Krechi Monchik and temporarily observe the movements of the God's Punisher.

The second document was that the king agreed to knight Manda Claudesay and let him continue to use the name of Krechi Monchik.

The third document was the king's agreement to ennoble Manda as a lord.

The fourth document is the king's agreement to confer Manda as a viscount.

The fifth document is that the king summoned Manda to the royal capital...

If these documents are authentic, it proves that Manda has remained anonymous for so many years under the king's orders.

But the question is, are these documents genuine? As a top nobleman, Besa-ryu had never heard of such a thing.

The verification method is simple. The document has the seal of the Minister of State.

But when asked about it, the Minister of State for Affairs gave a vague answer: "It should be true."

"What should be, what is true is true!"

Whether it is true or false, the Minister of State knows in his heart that these documents never existed.

"Do you think truth or falsehood is important?" the Minister of State asked, "What we need are allies. We want to take back the royal capital. What we need is a kingdom without God's Punishers. Shertai has already proved Manda's identity. Is it right?" Are we going to help Denko harm our allies?"

Bessa Liu thought for a long time and said: "We cannot be played by a liar all the time."

"I never thought he was a liar. I'm telling you now that these documents are true. If you don't believe me, I can advise His Majesty and ask him to admit the identity of Manda Cloudsey. This is what we should do." Things to do."

Besa Liu let out a long sigh: "In other words, there will be a Count Claudesay in the Romulu Kingdom in the future?"

"It's not an earl, it's a marquis," said the Minister of State. "The canonization ceremony should be carried out as scheduled."
