Give Me the Name of God

For three days in a row, no business came to the door, and all pedestrians approaching the tavern were driven away by the God's Punishment Warrior Campora.

It doesn't matter if she earns less money for drinks, but it's so uncomfortable to be blocked at the door of her house every day. Manda doesn't even have the courage to pee outside.

"When I get to the second floor, I will kill you first." Manda opened the window on the second floor and looked at Campora outside with a provocative face.

Campora held the half-broken battle ax and raised his fingers at Manda with a provocative smile on his face.

How can I advance to the second level? The answer lies on the stone statue, but the top priority is to find Kunta to decipher the cipher text on the stone statue.

The New Year will be in five days, and Worm will return to the valley to report the news. After leaving the valley for so long, this is the first time that Manda expects to get in touch with the count. He needs the count's support and also needs to get in touch with Quinta.

But Worm didn't want to go back to the valley. He was so irritable that he didn't even want to make wine.

"I'm going back tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell the count?" This is the first time Worm has asked such a question.

"I have a lot to say to the count, why don't you take me with you." Manda also gave an unexpected answer.

"You can't go to the valley, no, you can't go without the earl's order!" Worm became very flustered.

Manda smiled and said, "What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Worm's gray face slowly turned pale, and the next topic made it difficult for him to speak: "You want to tell the count, right?"

Manda was startled and turned to look out the window: "Shouldn't you tell the count about this kind of thing?"

"If the count knew, they would die."

"Don't you want them to die?"

"Of course I don't want to, they are not bad people!"

"Then who is the bad guy?"

After arguing for a long time, Manda discovered a problem. He and Worm were not talking about the same person. Worm wanted to keep Toca, while Manda wanted to get rid of Campora.

"Tokar's mother hasn't recovered yet," Worm rubbed his hands, "I want to keep them here for a while longer."

"Let's stay here until after New Year. As long as that lunatic blocks the door, they can't go anywhere."

"I also want them to stay longer."

"How long is longer?"

"I think when Toca grows up..."

Manda carefully examined Worm's facial features: "Tokar is really not your son? Did his mother have an affair with you..."

"Don't tell such disgusting jokes!" Worm's facial features were not distorted, proving that he was not lying, but Manda felt that Toca did look a bit like Worm.

He took a sip of wine and gasped, "I don't want to go back to the valley. I'm worried that the person outside will break in, and I'm also worried that the people from the valley will follow. I want that child to live here forever."

Manda's heart changed, and a conspiracy was born. This was an excellent opportunity to control Worm.

"You want to make a deal with me, right?" Manda smiled.

"So be it," Worm clicked his fang, "From now on, all the proceeds from the tavern belong to you. I will no longer interfere, but you have to promise not to tell the earl."

"Deal!" Manda agreed very simply, then added, "I will keep the secret for you, but the count will send someone here every month. Can you hide it from them?"

"So...I need your help."

Manda nodded and said: "So, this is another deal. I can help you deceive them, but you must do me a favor first and help me bring something to the valley."

"what?"

"New Year is here, and I have a gift for a friend, but it's not the Count."

Late at night, Manda began to copy the cipher text on the stone statue. He first chose the stone statue of Hephaestus, so that even if the count discovered it, his natal god would not be exposed.

After copying the cipher text, he thought about nailing the parchment into an ancient book and giving the ancient book to Kunta as a gift.

The binding process was very complicated, and there would inevitably be some flaws. During the trimming process, Manda hesitated.

Will this book really reach Quinta's hands smoothly? Worm is not good at lying. How to explain it if the count notices it?

Can Quinta really discover that there is a special page in the book? Can he understand what Manda means?

Will the count discover him during the translation process? After the translation is successful, how to bring it out of the valley? A series of questions forced Manda to change his mind. He had to trick the count once.

Taking out a piece of parchment, Manda wrote down some of the count's exploitable characteristics:

1. Very greedy

2. Lots of doubts

3. Very cautious

4. Can distinguish lies, but cannot distinguish incomplete truth.

…

The next day, Worm was getting ready to leave: "What gift are you going to bring to Quinta?"

Manda shook his head and said, "I changed my mind. I want you to bring Kunta to the tavern to stay for two days."

"Are you crazy?" Worm said angrily, "This is not something I can do!"

Manda smiled sinisterly: "You can do it. From now on, everything I say to you is the truth. Everything I have to do is for his benefit. You only need to convey it to the count truthfully, and he will definitely do it." Let you bring Quinta."

…

Worm stood in front of the earl anxiously. If it weren't for Tokar, he would never run in front of the earl and seek death.

Following Manda's instructions, he reported good news to the count: "Manda found two stone statues from a businessman, which are very similar to the stone statues he bought from Drawsha City last time."

The earl's eyes lit up, he gently stroked the strings and said, "This little guy has found something good again, let him buy it back."

"Manda is not sure whether the two statues are real, nor whether the two statues are the same as the previous statues. The words engraved on them are similar."

"Whether it's true or not, and whether it's the same or not, just buy it back." The count smiled generously. Just as Manda expected, he was very greedy and he would not miss such a precious thing.

"Each stone statue costs three hundred gold coins."

The generous smile disappeared, and the count turned to look at Worm, with four more eyes appearing on his face in an instant.

Worm was very nervous, but he was just repeating Manda's words truthfully. To him, there was no lie in these words.

The extra eyes retracted, and the earl smiled again: "Tell me directly, what does he want to do?"

"He wanted to take the previous statue to Niujiao Town and compare it with the new statue."

"That's impossible! I won't let him touch those statues again!" The count tapped the neck of the piano, and cold air filled the whole room.

He would never give the statue to Manda, and he was even worried that Manda would use a trick to trick the statue away.

Worm didn't dare to speak, and the room was quiet for a while. Then the count asked again, "Is there any other way?"

"He said there is another person in the valley who can identify the stone statues."

"Quinta!" The Count smiled, "Take him with you. I only give you one day. You must bring Quinta back to me at this time tomorrow."

Worm took Quinta and left the valley. The count continued to play the harp. After playing a song, the count suddenly laughed.

"I will have an army of believers of the Lord God, and I will enslave them. Great Typhon, I will definitely wash away the shame of the past for you. Please give me the oracle, please give me the artifact, and please give me the power of God. name."
