Give Me the Name of God

Gogol brought more than a hundred remnant soldiers to see the commander-in-chief Lomonlov. They trekked all night in the blizzard. When daybreak, more than 30 people were lost and more than a dozen froze to death. In the end, only More than sixty people.

He told Lomonlov the whole story. Lomonlov stretched his neck and looked at Gogol, with a look of astonishment on his face: "You lost to a woman?"

"She, they, are not ordinary women..."

"Did you lose from the front or from behind? Did you lose from above or from below? Tell us carefully."

Gogol was covered in sweat, and such sarcasm was nothing to him. Looking at Lomonlov's ferocious smile, he was worried that he would lose his head.

"Commander, please listen to my explanation. They are not women, or even human beings at all. They are the descendants of giants, the descendants of the dead. There must be followers of Pluto around the enemy. He controls the corpses of giants to fight us!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this story is not touching enough," Lomonlov shook his head and said, "You should say that they are descendants of gods. Under the inspiration of gods, they came here specifically to deal with you useless cowards!"

"Commander, I, what I said is the truth..."

"I always thought that no matter how stupid you are, you at least still retain the basic dignity of a noble. It seems that I was wrong. If you dare to deceive me with such childish lies, I should put that thing of yours together with your tongue. Cut them off, tie them together and hang them around your neck, both of these things are superfluous to you anyway!”

Gogol lowered his head and kept his eyes on his feet. As long as he could save his life, he could endure no matter how much humiliation he had.

Lomonlov sighed and said: "Of course, this is not all your fault, it is also my responsibility. The biggest mistake I made was to let you become the vanguard. Now as the commander-in-chief, I will remove you from all positions. You Now you are an ordinary soldier, and your surviving soldiers will become handymen in the army. After the war, you and your soldiers are not allowed to share the merits of the war, nor are you allowed to share any spoils. Do you think I am generous enough? Gogol ?”

Gogol bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Commander."

"Go away, take your soldiers to take care of the livestock first, we are about to set off, go see those living corpses of giants you mentioned, and see if they can carry a few of us!"

There was a burst of laughter in the military tent. Just as Gogol was about to leave, he suddenly saw Lomonlov throwing the saddle over:

"Wash it clean for me. It has the blood of the dispatchers on it. It stinks. Don't let me smell that stench again. Also wash my cloak and my boots."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Gogol hugged his saddle, cloak and boots and silently left the tent.

What more can be said? Say you are a soldier and not a handyman? Say you are a noble and not a slave?

Don't engage in these meaningless arguments. There is nothing wrong with being a handyman. Being a handyman lasts a long time. He felt that Lomonlov's life was not that long.

…

After crossing the tundra, Odysseus climbed up the Bear Mountain with difficulty. The Rannos gathered at the top of the mountain and were roaring at the priests.

They have not seen the Mother Goddess for nearly a month, which makes them very uneasy. Secondly, they miss the Mother Goddess. The other two groups who also live in the extremely cold place, the Hoende and the Canine Rippers believe in The Kheders, who believe in stealthy hunters, are encroaching on their hunting grounds.

"Odasha, we need the Mother Goddess!"

"Odasha, you can talk to the Mother Goddess, please help us awaken the Mother Goddess!"

Seeing Odysseus, the Ranno people were very excited. Odysseus patiently comforted the Ranno people: "Don't worry, the soul of the giant bear mother goddess has gone to the edge of the world, and she is gaining more power! "

"Edge of the World? The Mother Goddess is dead?" The Ranno looked at Odysseus in surprise.

Odysseus really wanted to slap himself in the face. He had come up with this lie at random. He almost said that the edge of the world was Mount Olympia.

It would have been better to say it was Mount Olympia. The Rannos didn't know what Mount Olympia was, so Odysseus could explain it as he pleased.

But the meaning of the edge of the world is very different. On this point, Rannuo and the Paiwu Shi people have very consistent understandings. They firmly believe that the souls of the dead will fly to the edge of the world.

Odysseus should not have made such a stupid mistake, but now his physical condition is very bad. If it were not for the herbs of the Tundra Witch, he would not even be able to cross the tundra alive.

His feet seemed to have lost their bones, and the rotting flesh was struggling to support his body.

He couldn't concentrate, and every second sentence he spoke would be irrelevant.

My ears are always filled with all kinds of sounds, some are roaring, some are crying, some are whispering, some are singing loudly... These intertwined sounds have never stopped since the moment I lost the sacred blood stone. Stop and pass.

The most deadly thing is not the sound, but the hallucination.

Odysseus had a severe hallucination. Each of the Rannos looked like a black bear standing on two legs, dangling in front of his eyes. Behind them, there seemed to be a giant bear standing.

"The giant bear mother goddess, Callisto, is he back?" This was Odysseus' inner monologue, but he didn't listen and said it directly.

The Rannos looked at Odysseus in surprise, they could not understand his language.

"Is the Mother Goddess really alive? We need to go in and take a look!" An angry man rushed forward, "My wife was snatched away by the Huende people. Why doesn't the Mother Goddess help us? Why can't the Mother Goddess hear me? prayer?"

"The Mother Goddess has heard your prayers. The Mother Goddess has received enough power. The Mother Goddess will help you tonight."

"We have to go in now, we want to see the Mother Goddess!"

The Rannuo people's voices became louder and louder. The priests and guards were pushed to the ground by them, and they were about to rush into the depths of the cave.

They can't be allowed to rush in. Without Odysseus' skills, the giant bear is now a pure corpse.

"Listen to me, the Mother Goddess cannot be disturbed before she wakes up. The Mother Goddess will wake up soon..."

The man who lost his wife picked up a stone and hit Odysseus on the head. Blood flowed from his forehead to his cheek.

The man shouted: "Get out of my way, I want to see the Mother Goddess now."

"Okay, I'll take you to see him."

Odysseus smiled and suddenly grabbed the man's hair and pulled him to his side.

The Rannos were shocked and wanted to rush forward and fight with Odysseus, but Odysseus grabbed the man's neck with one hand and his shoulder with the other. They intertwined their hands and pulled the man's head. down.

His hand recovered. There was a bloodstain on the left wrist that was severed by Manda, but the function of his left hand was not affected in any way.

Even after losing the blood stone, Odysseus still has power beyond the reach of ordinary people with the remaining divine power in his body.

He held up the man's head, looked at the horrified Rannuo people, and asked with a smile: "This is a sacrifice to the Mother Goddess. Which of you still wants to be a sacrifice?"

Ran Nuo lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Odysseus pointed to the door of the cave: "Go outside and wait, pray to the mother goddess, pray devoutly, pray with the loudest voice!"

The Rannos retreated outside the cave, and Odysseus stumbled to the depths of the cave and plunged into the giant bear.

His eyelids were extremely heavy. He had never slept since he lost the blood stone, but he couldn't sleep now. If he slept, he would never wake up again. He struggled to get up and moved away from the giant bear. a stone.

There is a door under the stone, and under the door is a hole in the ground. There are many good things hidden in the hole.

Odysseus fumbled for a while, took out eight stone statues of Athena, arranged a simple altar, knelt on the ground and began to pray silently.

This was a long prayer that lasted a quarter of an hourglass. When Odysseus was about to lose consciousness, Athena finally responded.

Odysseus said with a trembling voice: "My goddess, I need your help."

"I gave you everything, but you lost everything in the end."

"Please give me your trust again and I will win everything back."

"Why should I trust you again?"

"You don't have to trust me, but the followers of Hermes are nearby. He can cross the tundra at any time and take away the authority of the Giant Bear Mother Goddess. We haven't found the soil of the Prime Sequence yet. You definitely don't want to take this away." Power to Hermes!"

There was silence all around, and Odysseus was panicked. He thought he had been completely abandoned.

But not long after, Athena's voice came to my ears again:

"You actually threaten me with your enemies, as expected of you."

The sound echoed in my ears for a long time, and a beam of golden holy light flashed above the altar.

When the holy light dissipated, an olive branch more than four feet long appeared on the altar.

Odysseus's hand was shaking. This was the artifact he dreamed of, Athena's scepter of wisdom.

"I'll give you one month to regain your sacred blood stone."

Odysseus knelt down and worshiped again. He placed the staff in the center of the altar and unbuttoned his clothes in front of the staff.

After the sacred blood stone was gouged out, the wound on his chest could not heal, and there was still a hole the size of a quail egg.

An olive leaf grew out of the scepter, and under the guidance of the ivy, it slowly penetrated into the wound.

The moment the olive leaf entered the body, Odysseus's distracted eyes were reunited.

He was reborn, and this olive leaf became a temporary sacred blood stone.

He rubbed his fingers together and pulled out a ball of thread, and his skills were restored.

The silk thread followed the fingertips to the vicinity of the wound, shuttled back and forth between the skin and flesh, and completed the incredible suture. The wound on the chest seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace. There was a black spot under the wound, which looked like a mole. In fact, it was a knot and the only mark.

Odysseus deliberately left this knot. The leaf could only last for a month. When he got the blood stone back, he had to open the wound.

While he was suturing the wound, the scepter on the altar had disappeared. At the Boyuin tribe, Manda asked a lot of questions. Odysseus didn't tell a few truths, but he did not lie about the artifact. He did not get Athena's scepter. When he was dying, he begged for it, but he only borrowed it and used it.

Odysseus cried with joy after escaping from death. He originally planned to go to the country of the sentient warriors immediately to exchange for the sacred blood stone from Manda, but he suddenly noticed the sound of prayer coming from outside the cave.

The Ranno people have not left yet, they are still waiting for the response from the giant bear mother goddess.

If the faith of the Rannos is lost, Athena will make Odysseus realize the meaning of life again.

He took a deep breath and let the giant bear stand up driven by the seventh-level skill. Amid cheers, he trampled two Rannos to death, announcing that the Mother Goddess had returned from the edge of the world.

This move alone cannot make the Rannuo people settle down. The Hoende and Hedel people must be taught a lesson.

A month was not a long time. The giant bear roared continuously and led the Rannuo people to the hunting ground that was taken away from them.
