Give Me the Name of God

Manda placed a hundred silver coins on the altar, knelt on the ground devoutly, and waited for the arrival of the goat messenger.

The old goat man was in the smoke, looking down at the pious Manda, and asked in a low and round voice: "Raise your head."

Manda pressed her forehead to the ground and responded, "I dare not."

The old goat man sighed, "I won't raise the price."

Manda immediately raised her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

For 500 gold coins, Manda bought the statue of Hermes, which also had completely incomprehensible cipher text written on it. Manda was thinking about how to understand the origin of these words, when suddenly the old goat handed over a piece of sheepskin Paper.

"This is the translation of the common language, you won't lose money if you buy my things."

Manda looked at the first line of the parchment, which read: My first-order believers, you have the opportunity to upgrade, and put an altar under the real statue...

The first sentence stumped the manda, what is a real statue?

The old goat man explained: "The real statue comes from the original appearance of the god, and there is no fallacy because of mortal ideas. Someone once created a painting for our god. In that painting, our god has feathers on his body. This is a fallacy from mortals, and it is also a blasphemy against the gods."

Manda understood what the old man meant, and had to find a highly accurate statue of Hermes to complete the sacrifice.

But where can I find such a statue?

The answer given by the old man was: "There used to be a temple in the Lion City of Romulus, and there was a real statue there."

"It used to mean... that the temple is no longer there?"

The old goat nodded: "In addition to that one, there is another one in the ancient Arandis Temple. I'm afraid you can't find it there. In addition, there is another one in the tomb of King Tilly IX. I can help you find it." That tomb, but with your current strength, getting into that kind of tomb is equivalent to death."

"Can you tell me one I can find?"

"You have one in your hand."

"Don't make such jokes."

"This is not a joke. This is an absolutely real statue. It is more accurate than any statue. This is what God looks like. The only problem is that it is a little smaller, but it does not affect your promotion."

Manda stared at the stone statue in his hand in astonishment. Only now did he realize that the value of this stone statue is far more than the ciphertext behind it.

"I sold you two statues of gods. Each stone statue of gods is unique. You must cherish it and don't lose any of them. This is related to whether you can get the name of god."

It turns out that there are more secrets hidden in the stone statue, but the first-order stone statue has been taken away by the earl.

Now is not the time to talk about these things, it is useless to talk about it, Manda puffed up his chest, and said to the old man goat: "Do you think I can be promoted to the second level now?"

"It's still a bit short." The old goat shook his head.

"What if you eat this thing?" Manda took out Longvado's bloodstone frankly. The old goat looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Ares' first-order bloodstone, eat it. Afterwards, you can be promoted to the second level smoothly, but you are only a little away from the first level of consummation, as small as a strand of hair, and the sacred blood stone can help you advance a large piece. This sacred blood stone is very precious. Now It is too wasteful to eat it, you can wait until the second level to eat it, which will save you the time to advance to the third level."

Manda looked at the bloodstone, on which the patterns of swords and shields could be vaguely seen, glowing with gorgeous metallic luster under the candlelight.

You can tell it is very precious at first glance. Like the old goat said, eat it after you have been promoted to the second level. The resource is not wasted at all. This is the correct choice.

Manda asked, "If I don't eat this stone, how long will it take me to be eligible for promotion?"

"Soon, the skills that you use desperately every day will be easy to use and can be used freely. You are a very talented person. In less than two years, your first-order power will definitely be complete."

two years.

Manda nodded and said, "I'll eat the bloodstone, don't wait."

"Then why are you nodding...forget it," the old goat returned the blood stone to Manda, "it will take three days to digest this stone, and you will become reckless and irritable during these three days, that is, Inheriting the shortcomings of Ares, these conditions will disappear after three days, and then you can prepare for promotion."

Manda continued to read the sacrificial process. The sacrifices required for promotion to the second rank were: three tail feathers of a phoenix, a pair of sharp claws of a two-headed golden eagle, and two pairs of wings of a four-winged bat.

It's something that human beings can't understand. No wonder the believers of the Lord God say so, their threshold is too high.

"Do you have these offerings?" Manda asked cautiously.

"Yes," the old goat nodded, "do you have money?"

"There is still money." Counting the bounty given by Leo and the money robbed from Longwado, there are a total of 522 gold coins. After spending 500 gold coins, there are still 22 gold coins left. Manda raised his hands Over the top of the head, dedicated to the old goat.

"Do you think that's enough?" The old goat stared at Manda.

"I think... about the same."

The old goat took a deep breath and said, "Because we have done a lot of business, I will give you a complete sacrifice for only 800 gold coins."

“Very fair prices!”

"So what are you still holding these 22 gold coins for?"

"This is a gift for you first, and it can also be used as interest on the debt. To put it simply, it is..." Manda blushed and said in an inaudible voice, "I want to pay on credit."

The candles were flickering, the mist was steaming, and the old goat seemed to be angry.

Manda kept kneeling and did not dare to move.

He had given up hope of credit, but he was afraid that the old goat would suddenly jump out of the altar and beat him up.

He silently counted his breaths, and when he counted to twenty, the old goat spoke.

"The interest of 22 gold coins, within one year, you have to pay me back 800 gold coins within one year." The old goat put all the sacrifices into a wooden box, handed it to Manda, and then received it. 22 gold coins were taken.

He agreed, actually agreed!

Has there been a more generous seller than this?

Manda took the wooden box with tears in his eyes. Just when he was trembling and didn't know what to say, he saw the figure of the old goat gradually faded.

"It takes at least five days to be promoted to the second level. During these five days, you will be very weak. You cannot let anyone disturb you, you cannot fight, you cannot quarrel, and you cannot speak a few words, otherwise you may be lost at any time.

"It takes three months to rise to the second level, which is really rare among the believers of the main god. I don't know why you are so urgent. I hope you will be on the right track in the future. Don't make wrong choices just because you are eager for quick success. "

Taking advantage of the afterimage of the old goat, Manda said with tears in her eyes, "Are you leaving me?"

The old goat said: "Maybe we really have to leave for a while."

Manda shouted, "Shall we never see each other again?"

The old goat said: "Go and live your sweet dreams. Before you pay off your debts, you'd better not come to me!"

The old goat disappeared, Manda opened the wooden box, and the dazzling light illuminated Manda's cheek.

The tail feathers of the phoenix, the sharp claws of the double-headed golden eagle, and the wings of the four-winged bat, they are all in front of Manda's eyes, exuding the indelible aura of divine beasts.
