Give Me the Name of God

"My second-level believers, you have been given the opportunity to be promoted."

This is the method for second-level believers to advance to third-level.

is that useful?

It's useful, of course it's useful, who dares to say it's useless?

But is it useful now?

Manda, who was out of control, almost tore the parchment on the table. After restraining himself, he had another terrible idea.

Just skip the second level and advance directly to the third level. With Hermes favoring you so much, maybe a miracle will happen?

Driven by impulse, he spent a day deciphering all the ciphertexts. When he wrote the last word, he closed his eyes and did not dare to open them for a long time.

Don't watch it, you must not watch it. Once you watch it, you won't be able to resist the temptation, and it will eventually lead to irreversible consequences.

Manda closed her eyes and threw the parchment into the "Jurassic Dragon Island". With her heart full of entanglement and pain, she slumped on the bed helplessly.

Don't think randomly, don't think randomly, the only thing you can think about is what to do next.

Don't expect to be able to buy a stone statue promoted to the second level by luck. The correct way is to buy the sacrifice from the old goat man.

500 gold coins is just a method. Manda only has 353 gold coins in hand. Even if he can sell Campora's sacred blood stone, the remaining money will not be enough to buy expensive sacrifices. After buying the method, he would have to go through the complicated cipher text cracking process again. Thinking of this, Manda fell into despair.

For three days in a row, Manda did not go out and only ate one meal a day, struggling with loss and entanglement.

On the fourth day, he was forced to leave the bedroom.

Viscount Gassac is preparing to send twenty teenagers to the valley. This is not a task that Worm can complete alone.

The tavern hasn't opened yet, but the hall is very lively. Toca and his mother are diligently wiping the tables and chairs. Ogg and Silva are stacking wine barrels. Helena is secretly eating bacon and is scolded by Silva. A few words.

"Put down the meat quickly, the master is coming, you stupid girl!"

Manda followed Worm out of the tavern in a daze, and the dazzling snow made him dizzy.

"Can you hold on?" Worm was worried that Manda would faint.

"I...can't hold it anymore," Manda rubbed her brows, "You go alone."

"That won't work. Last time I sent ten people, I was almost targeted by the God of Punishment on the way. I couldn't have done this without you."

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?"

The reality is like this, there are many people who need you, but few really care about you.

As Manda fell asleep in the carriage, Wurm asked the question he had been repeating for several days: "What happened?"

Manda couldn't think of any fresh excuses, so she simply gave a slightly poetic answer: "Do you know how difficult it is to resist temptation after your dream is broken?"

"What is your dream? Is it a girl?"

"Uh... let's just say so."

"You fell in love with one girl, and then you were rejected, and then another girl fell in love with you. Do you want to resist her temptation?"

Manda said in astonishment: "How could you think of this?"

"There are stories like this in a lot of books."

"Burn all those books."

"Those books are all in my head."

"Burn your head together."

"Is that girl you like a sphinx? You're resisting Helena's temptation, aren't you?"

"As a bug, can you live more like a bug?"

…

Arriving at the Viscount's castle, twenty children sat on four carriages waiting to set off.

Viscount Gaisak was too arrogant and didn't take God's Punisher seriously at all. There is no school in Niujiao Town, so what do these children do together? It is difficult to give a reasonable explanation.

Manda was about to send them to the house in the town in batches, and then to the valley in batches. He was about to follow the first carriage, but was stopped by Stanley.

"Mr. Nidali, long time no see. Let's find a place to have a drink."

Stanley sent out a polite invitation, which sounded like polite words, but Manda heard the underlying meaning. Stanley had something important to say to him.

The fat knight took the initiative to speak, proving that this matter was no small matter. Manda followed Stanley into the castle and saw a corpse in a stone tower.

"A group of robbers came to the town. The Viscount gave me the task of hunting down the robbers. This is the cattle trader who was killed by that group of robbers."

Manda was stunned. In his impression, there was no concept of autopsy in this era. The methods of "criminal investigation" were more traditional. Usually, they found a guy who looked like a bad guy and beat him up until he confessed.

What was he doing bringing the body back? It was also washed and peeled so cleanly.

Stanley pointed to the chest of the corpse and said, "Do you recognize this wound?"

What's so special about this wound? It was long and deep, like a stab wound.

No, the knife wound was not that deep. His collarbone was broken. It should have been caused by an axe.

Manda had a vague premonition, and he thought of someone.

"Is this an ax injury, or a special axe," Stanley confirmed Manda's guess, "Look at the length of the ax blade, and then look at this position. The wound here is very shallow, which proves that there is a gap on the ax blade. This The gap was caused by you, you shouldn’t forget it.”

Manda swallowed and said, "You mean, this is Campora's axe?"

Stanley nodded and Manda almost sat on the ground.

Why did Campora's ax fall into the hands of the robbers? Was Campora's body discovered? What if this group of robbers is caught by God's Punisher? Are there any other clues left in the cave?

Stanley said: "I went to the cave to check. The corpses are still there. They were eaten by insects and turned into skeletons. There are no other flaws left in the cave. There are just a few more footprints. I am not worried about the God's Punisher finding the cave. , what I’m worried about is why these bandits found that cave, did they see something?”

Manda took a deep breath and said, "You mean he saw us..."

"It's very possible that they were watching from the time we entered until we left, and then went in to pick up some scraps, and found a treasure, which was the ax used to chop Paula."

Although it is just speculation, the probability is very high. If this group of robbers is really caught by the Punisher, Manda and Stanley must leave Niujiao Town immediately and be hunted by the Punisher for the rest of their lives.

"We must catch this group of robbers before God's Punisher," Stanley was still calm. He pointed at the wound on the corpse and said, "One fatal blow proves that this man's martial arts skills are not bad and he can control Campora's battle ax. It proves that he is probably a believer of the ancient gods and is good at fighting. There are not many such people. We should pay more attention and be sure to catch him first!"

After leaving the castle, Manda's trachea seemed to be blocked, and every breath became extremely difficult.

The hope of being promoted to the second level was shattered, and the hidden dangers that had been gradually forgotten were discovered again. Manda felt that she was forced to the edge of hell again.

Promotion can wait, but this matter must not wait. Sitting in the carriage and looking at the passers-by, Manda felt that they all looked a bit like bandits.

This man is very strong, has a lot of beard, and has a scar on his face. He fits the image of a gangster very well.

There is also this man, he walks in a sneaky way, even if he is not the bandit leader, he is probably the one responsible for looking out.

And that guy, why is he holding an ax? Why are there people walking down the street with an axe? Is he a woodcutter? He was carrying firewood on his back. He was really a woodcutter!

Worm patted Manda on the shoulder: "We're here."

"Where are you?" Manda trembled in fright.

"When we get to the house you bought, we have to keep these teenagers here first, and then send them to the valley in batches. This is the plan you made. It can avoid the God's Punisher and the earl's eyes. Tavern!”

"My plan, a good plan." Manda came back to her senses, took five teenagers, and set off with Worm.

The Earl was watching over the valley, and the Divine Punishers were watching around him. He had no room for improvement and no way to deal with it. Manda fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of despair. The most helpless thing was that no one else knew anything about it.

Helena opened the door of the tavern and recruited customers under Toca's supervision. After dinner, when there were the most customers, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the tavern.

"Helena, come here!" Joel wore a hood and waved to Helena. Helena almost screamed. When she saw that Toca was not around, she quickly got into Joel's arms.

"Are you here to save me?" Helena cried.

"Of course I'm here to save you, silly girl, how could I leave you? Let's leave now. Do you have any money on you?"

Helena opened her pocket and said, "There are two more silver coins."

"Give it to me first and let's go buy something to eat."

"No need to buy it, I'll steal some from the store." Helena handed the silver coins to Joel without hesitation, and was about to open the can of bacon when she suddenly heard Silva yell: "Put down the bacon, put it down." Get the silver coins back!”

Helena was stunned and didn't know how to respond. Joel whispered: "Silva, we have some misunderstandings. Now is not the time to worry about this. Take Helena and follow me quickly."

Silva shook his head and picked up a fire stick: "Give the silver coins back to my sister and get out of here right away!"

Joel gritted his teeth and said, "It seems you don't understand me. It seems I haven't taught you enough lessons."

Silva hit him with a stick, but Joel easily dodged aside. He punched Silva in the face. Silva didn't make any defense and was about to take the punch, but Joel's But his wrist was grasped by a big hand like an iron vise.

Ogg stood behind him and whispered: "I remember the boss said that you are not allowed to appear in the tavern."

Joel gritted his teeth and said: "Damn coolie, you'd better let go of your hands. I'm not here to cause trouble."

Ogg shook his head: "You're already in trouble."

Before he finished speaking, Joel turned his wrist and tried to capture Ogg.

He didn't succeed, Ogg was much more powerful than he was.

Joel tried several times, but Ogg didn't move at all. When Joel raised his fist, Ogg picked up Joel and threw him to the floor.
