Give Me the Name of God

Deep in Stanley's manor, there is a special room that no living person is allowed to enter except him.

This is a small temple where his natal god is enshrined.

The tall statue of Hades, the god of Hades, sits on the throne, holding two forks in his hands, looking down at the altar at his feet. The three-headed dog Cerberus squats at the feet of Hades, looking down at the altar with a ferocious expression. sacrifices.

The sacrifice was a three-tailed black scorpion that was longer than an adult's arm. On both sides of the black scorpion were four requiem plants and eight palm-sized human-faced spiders.

Joel, who was kneeling under the altar, was filled with anxiety. This was different from the sacrifices he knew. There was no doubt that he had been deceived before. Even if the gold coins he saved were not won by Manda, he would have to buy more. A false sacrifice.

This is the sad point for the believers of the ancient gods. From entering the level to advancing, it is more difficult to find the correct method of sacrifice than to find a needle in a haystack.

"Are you ready?" Stanley wore a priest's robe, lit the sacrifice, and stood next to Joel.

Joel nodded.

"Recite His honorable name with me, the Lord of the Underworld, the God of Plague, in charge of the lost lives and the wealth underground, the great Hades, my master, please look here..."

After reciting the oath, Joel cut his palm and dropped the blood into the pure gold sacrificial vessel engraved with twelve skulls. Then he closed his eyes and silently waited for the call of the gods.

The room suddenly became cold, and Joel felt that his body was about to freeze. Shouts, roars, and indistinguishable whispers sounded in his ears at the same time, making him feel like his skull was slowly exploding and his brain was slowly flowing out.

The severe pain made Joel about to lose consciousness, and a low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears:

"The door to the underworld is open for you."

Tick ​​tock!

There was the sound of blood dripping into the sacrificial vessel. Seeing that Joel had no reaction, Stanley opened his mouth and poured the blood in.

The blood burned Joel's throat and esophagus like fire. When it flowed into his stomach, Joel felt that his whole body was burning.

Stanley stepped forward and covered his mouth to prevent him from spitting out the divine blood, and then applied some medicinal soup on his forehead.

After a meal, Joel calmed down. Stanley wiped off his sweat and asked softly: "Do you feel the gift of God?"

Joel nodded.

"Do you feel the supreme glory?"

Joel whispered: "I feel it."

"In front of the gods, answer me loudly, what do you feel?"

"I feel it, the supreme glory."

After saying these words, Joel lost his last bit of strength and passed out in Stanley's arms.

Stanley summoned four living corpses and carried Joel out of the temple.

After cleaning the altar, Stanley prayed under the statue for a long time before leaving. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw the waiter rushing over and saying with sweat on his face: "The Viscount sent someone here and said he wanted to see you immediately."

Stanley sighed, mounted his horse and came to the castle.

Viscount Gassac looked very calm, and he invited Stanley to have a glass of wine with him.

After finishing the glass, he picked up the wine can and smashed it in front of Stanley.

"How long do you plan to keep that idiot? The newly arrived sergeant of the God's Punishment Army has already noticed him. How much trouble do you plan to let this idiot cause me!"

Stanley stood up and saluted: "Sir, please give me three more days."

Gazak calmed down for a long time and said: "I don't know what's special about this idiot. If you like beautiful boys, I can give you a few. After three days, if I see him again, I will burn him." Die at the castle gate!”

Joel fell into a coma for two days. When he woke up, he found that Stanley had prepared wheat porridge and water for him.

"I was supposed to celebrate you with food and wine, but you were hungry for two days and could only eat light things."

Before Stanley could finish speaking, Joel grabbed the jug, drank it all, then picked up the porridge and ate it hungrily.

"Don't be so impatient, slow down." Looking at Joel's condition, Stanley showed a satisfied smile.

After eating and drinking, Joel burped several times, looked at Stanley eagerly, and asked, "Did I succeed?"

"Look what I brought for you?" Stanley took out a dead rabbit and placed it next to Joel's bed, "Try to put your power into it and imagine that it is a part of your body. "

Joel touched the rabbit's body and shook his head in confusion. He didn't understand what Stanley meant.

"Concentrate, focus your thoughts on your fingertips, and feel the power gathering there. It's a little itchy, a little tingling, a little numb, that's it. Take your time, don't be impatient..."

Under Stanley's guidance, Joel felt the power flowing between him. After more than a dozen breaths, the rabbit stood up suddenly, screamed, and bit Joel's finger.

Joel was shocked and quickly retracted his hand. Rabbit stood tremblingly beside the bed, as if he might fall down at any time.

"You are still too impatient," Stanley shook his head. "You have to make it a part of you. Think of it as your hand, your third hand. Control it slowly and let it do what you want."

After trying a dozen times, Joel finally did it, and he let the rabbit push the jug in front of him.

"I succeeded, I succeeded!" The excited Joel almost shouted out his throat. Stanley touched his head, "Relax and have a good sleep. There will be a sacrifice tonight."

"There are still sacrifices?" Joel was startled, "I have already entered the level."

"Don't you want more glory?"

"Is it possible to advance to the second level?" Joel couldn't believe his ears. He shook his head and said, "This is impossible. I heard others say that after entering the level, you have to wait a few years at the earliest before you can advance to the second level. .”

"Listen to others? Who are they?" Stanley's face darkened.

Joel immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He actually questioned Pluto's third-level believers for some baseless rumors.

What is the concept of second-order believer? He is one of the most outstanding people in a thousand, a strong man who dominates his side. The first-level believers of the Demon God in the tavern are just a few ants in his eyes at this moment. Wealth, power and glory are all slowly coming towards him.

Stanley must have paid a heavy price to allow a first-level believer to be promoted to the second level immediately. What was his purpose in doing this? Joel was more certain of his previous guesses. This was the need for his promotion. Cultivating a second-level believer was a condition for promotion from the third level to the fourth level.

Although he was used, this did not affect Joel's ecstasy. There would definitely be some risks in directly advancing to the second level, but it was like a gamble. He was confident in his talent.

Extraordinary people will eventually take an extraordinary path. Stanley Knight, when one day I step on your head, will you regret your choice today?

Joel couldn't sleep, but he still forced himself to close his eyes to regain his energy for the second sacrifice.

After finally staying up until night, Joel followed Stanley to the temple. After becoming a first-level believer, he clearly felt changes in his body. He could easily keep up with Stanley's footsteps without feeling any difficulty at all.

The statue of Hades was still majestic, but the altar was very deserted. No sacrifices were seen, only a sacrificial vessel. Different from the previous pure gold sacrificial vessel that was carved with a skull, this sacrificial vessel is a real skeleton, a black wine cup made of human skulls, filled with blood-like red wine.

"No need for other sacrifices?" Joel asked tentatively.

"Ignore that for now, tell me, do you feel the glory?"

"I can feel the glory every moment. This is the glory given to me by the gods. It is you who gave me the opportunity to get close to the gods," Joel said excitedly. "I have waited a whole time to become a true believer. Five years, during these five years, I experienced countless cold looks and ridicules, until I met you..."

"Five years is not a long time," Stanley smiled and interrupted Joel, "Do you know how many years I have been a third-level believer? From the age of thirty-six to forty-six, I waited for ten years. In the past ten years, I have tried countless methods, but I have never been able to complete the third level of cultivation. It was not until two years ago that I discovered that my divine power was no longer growing, that I really knew what I needed."

The candlelight flickered and the cold wind swirled in the temple. Joel trembled and looked at Stanley with a ferocious expression carefully.

"Lower your head, our god is here, and he is watching you." Stanley pressed the back of Joel's head with his hand, "Our god told me that I need a divine blood stone, and ordinary divine blood stones are not enough. , it must be a divine blood stone of the same origin. Pluto’s bloodline is too small. I can’t find believers of the same origin, let alone a ready-made divine blood stone. But the gods really care about me. He allowed me to meet you. , tell me again, do you feel that glory?"
