Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 57 Our Secret

One day? What can you do in a day? In Manda's impression, it took at least ten days for Kunta to decipher the cipher text of a stone statue.

The Count was still very sophisticated. He knew that Quinta's cracking efficiency was not high, so he took precautions in advance.

Kunta was very happy to see Manda. He originally wanted to have a drink with Manda first and then chat all night, preferably under the same bed.

But Manda stuffed a piece of bread and a piece of bacon into his mouth, and then took him back to his room.

"It's too late, brother, I want you to help me translate a cipher text." Manda took out the cipher text of Hestia, the Kitchen God.

Kunta stared at the cipher text for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is this copied from a stone statue?"

Manda nodded.

Kunta said with a look of surprise: "This is different from the previous cipher text. You have found a different stone statue. Congratulations."

"Congratulations to me?"

"Congratulations on your great achievement again."

"I don't care about that kind of thing!" Manda said, "How long does it take to crack such a cipher text?"

Manda stared at the secret text for a long time, frowned and said, "It will take at least a month."

"How is this possible?" Manda felt that Kunta was lying to him. "When you knew nothing about the ciphertext, it took you half a month to successfully crack it. Now that you have learned the method, why do you still need to use one? Month’s time?”

"It's different. This ciphertext is more complicated. It's mainly in Tilean and Heggar, interspersed with Atlantean and Qinroth. Other languages ​​are easy to speak, but Tilean is too difficult. I I only know a few words." Quinta took some notes on the paper and marked all the words he knew.

"The unmarked ones are all Tilian. The meaning of all the words has been deciphered, and the word order has to be adjusted. The method is to put the last word after the third word, and then put the third word in the sentence. at the front, and then put the last word after the third word. Repeat this eleven times to check whether the sentence is smooth. If the sentence is still confusing, repeat it a few more times. If it is useless no matter how many times you repeat it, Then try replacing the third word with the fourth word..."

Listening to Kunta's introduction, Manda's brain began to twitch, and she had to admire this little guy's perseverance. He actually completed such a tedious and complicated task.

After finishing the annotation, Kunta suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is this your natal god?"

Uh...Manda ignored a question. Kunta kept helping without asking any reason.

Manda didn't know how to answer Kunta. It would be unkind to continue to hide it. But if he told Kunta the truth, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the count's torture.

"Actually, you don't have to tell me. I'm worried that I won't be able to help but tell the earl. As long as I know that you are still on the path of your destiny, I am very happy."

Manda didn't answer, and Kunta didn't ask any more questions. He wanted to help Manda make some more marks, but saw Manda change to another piece of parchment.

"Don't waste time on that piece of paper, this... is the key." Manda took out Hermes' cipher text. Kunta was startled and showed a surprised smile. He didn't ask any more questions. Help Manda translate the words he knows.

Hermes' cipher text has a total of 341 words, 232 of which come from the ancient Tilian language, and among these 232 ancient Tilian words, Quinta only knows three.

This meant that Quinta was unable to understand the content of the ciphertext. He tried to adjust the order of the words, but without knowing the meaning of the words, such adjustments were obviously in vain.

"Don't worry about it, leave the rest to me." Manda poured a glass of wine for Kunta. Kunta started to be busy from dusk until late at night without stopping for a moment.

Kunta bit the bacon, took a sip of wine and said, "Worm's craftsmanship is still so good, so the business of the tavern must be very good."

Manda said: "Originally the business was pretty good, but there have been fewer customers in the past two days."

"I really envy your life," Kunta sighed. "When I was a child, my family also sold wine. There was no tavern. They only sold the cherry wine made by my mother. My mother's cherry wine was very delicious. But if I sell it today, If it is not finished, it will be broken the next day. I often lie next to my mother, looking forward to the guests coming..."

While talking, Kunta had already drank a large glass, and Manda poured him another glass. Kunta took a deep breath and said, "If I could have a wine house of my own, my mother would be proud of me."

Manda smiled and said: "There will definitely be."

Kunta sighed and said, "I don't know when we will wait."

"It won't take long, I guarantee your pub will be bigger than this one."

Kunta blinked and said, "I'll make the wine and you'll make the bacon, okay?"

"You also have to marinate the bacon," Manda said with a smile, "I also have to serve the guests."

The two of them laughed for a long time, which made Worm's heart tremble. He kept guarding Tokar and his mother in the guest room, fearing that Manda would tell Quinta.

For some reason, Kunta softens Manda's heart.

And no matter what Manda said, Kunta would foolishly believe it.

After three glasses of wine, Kunta fell asleep. Manda carefully left the room, turned around and went down the first floor to Ogg's room.

Ogg slept deeply, and Manda called several times to no avail, so she had to burn his beard with a candle.

Ogg was very angry. He cherished his beard very much, but he did not dare to lose his temper in front of Manda. After all, he owed Manda too much.

"I need your help with something. Have you met the businessman?"

"What kind of businessmen? I've seen a lot of small businessmen, but I've never seen those big, very wealthy businessmen."

"Not the big businessmen, nor the small traders, but those who sell sacred items and medicinal herbs."

Ogg rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you talking about a black marketeer?"

Manda smiled and said, "Young man, you have a lot of experience."

As a wild believer of the ancient god, Ogg is no stranger to the black market and is also familiar with the words and deeds of black market traders.

The next morning, as soon as Kunta woke up, he saw Manda bringing a bearded man into the room.

Kunta quickly got under the quilt. He was very afraid of strangers.

But the bearded man was very calm. He was not frightened by Kunta's appearance, and he was not even surprised: "Come out, friend, I have met many people, but you are not that special."

"This is Mr. Olig," Manda made up a name perfunctorily, "He has what we want."

Quinta carefully got out of the quilt and saw Olig taking out the stone statues of Hestia, the God of Kitchen and Hephaestus, the God of Fire.

Kunta picked up the two stone statues, looked at them respectively, and then glanced at Manda.

Manda turned to Ogg and said, "Can we discuss it alone?"

Ogg put away the stone statue with an impatient look on his face: "How many times do you want to discuss it? If we still can't make a deal this time, I will sell it to someone else."

Seeing Olig walk out of the room, Kunta whispered: "These two stone statues are real. You can tell by looking at the stone materials, and the exquisite workmanship is so rare. Hestia's cipher text I I have seen it, the one you gave me yesterday, but I have not seen Hephaestus’ cipher text.”

"As long as it's true, tell the earl the news and see what he thinks whether you buy it or not."

Kunta said: "We have obtained the Hestia cipher text, so there is no need to buy that stone statue. 300 gold coins are too expensive."

Manda pinched Kunta's cheek and whispered: "Are you going to save money for the count? That will arouse a lot of suspicion and expose many secrets. Do you want the count to know our secrets?"

Quinta shook his head: "Our secrets cannot be told to anyone."

Manda smiled and said: "We can only tell the truth to the count. We saw two stone statues. These two stone statues are real. Don't say anything else, okay?"
