Manda sent Lulian to the guest room and began to analyze the origin of the group of divine punishers.


    A guest mentioned a murder outside the city these two days. The murderer was a group of divine punishers. It should be the same group as Stanley.


    This incident surprised Manda very much. Gaisak has been looking for a chance to start a war, and the divine Punisher killed people in his territory. How can he be indifferent?


    Now he not only killed people, but also attacked the black market, and even forced Stanley to fight to the death. Is this the strength of the Viscount? Can''t a powerful enemy resist at all?


    Wait, I seem to have overlooked one thing. Stanley just said, "before the Viscount comes back..."


    Guy sacker is not in Niujiao town. Where did he go?


    He knew that he was on the blacklist of divine punishers. Leaving Niujiao town meant that he could be assassinated at any time.


    He must have taken a lot of people to protect his safety, which means that there are few believers and troops left in Niujiao town.


    Niujiao town encountered a strong enemy under the condition of extreme emptiness of power, which is why Stanley is ready to gamble his life, but why does he believe that Manda can protect his woman? God''s Punisher leveled the black market. Won''t he attack the tavern?


    Will the punisher be afraid to complain about the power of haze Valley?


    He overestimates himself. If a god Punisher dares to turn his face with a local Lord, why should he be afraid of the little thieves under the mountain king?


    Thinking, Manda noticed Millo sleeping in the corner. He was the key to the survival of the tavern.


    Stanley knows the strength of drunkards, but does the punisher know?


    What if they don''t know, just call the door?


    A Millo can''t stop all the punishers. Even if he can, how long can he last?


    Give up the tavern and run away immediately?


    What if Millo won''t go?


    Wouldn''t it be over if you were blocked by God''s punishment as soon as you went out?


    In the twinkling of an eye, it was dusk. Tonight''s business was a little bleak. I learned from a guest that the residents of the town did not dare to go out at night. Many people were caught by God punishers at night. They would be judged as heretics by the church and then locked in a dungeon waiting for execution.


    Viscount gassack ignited the anger of civilians, but the punisher is extinguishing his anger with fear. If the Viscount doesn''t come back, his territory will change.


    Toka came over, blinked and said, "boss, that woman wants to see you."


    After eating the herbal medicine prepared by herself, Lulian''s situation improved a lot. She took out an iron box from her backpack and gave it to Manda: "this is given to you by the poet."


    The iron box has two layers. The upper layer is filled with a purple black crystal. The pungent smell of sulfur makes Manda want to sneeze.


    "Be careful, there''s a little guy down there."


    Manda opened the second floor, in which lay a doll the size of a palm.


    What material is it made of? pottery clay? Crystal? Amber? It seems not. The fire red doll is like a sleeping baby. Staring at his face carefully, it seems that his lips are moving, and even his uniform breathing can be heard.


    "Lava crystals and fire elves?" said Manda. "Are you sure he wants to give this to me?"


    "It can''t be regarded as a gift. He secretly left it to me before he was caught by the divine Punisher. He hopes you can save his life."


    Manda shook her head and returned the iron box to Lulian: "I don''t have the ability, and I can''t die for these two things."


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t save him. It still belongs to you. He wants the blood of the God of fire to pass on."


    Manda smiled bitterly and said, "even if you say so, I won''t be moved by it."


    "You don''t need to be moved. Take it!"


    ……


    Leaving the guest room, Manda saw worm on the stairs.


    "Going to war?" asked worm.


    "It should be," Manda nodded. "I''m thinking about leaving oxhorn."


    "Get out of here, where can we go?"


    "Go back to the valley and follow the count''s arrangement, at least until you escape the war."


    "What about them?" worm looked at Toka, who was greeting guests in the hall.


    "Give them some money and find another way to live."


    Standing beside the railing on the second floor, they were silent for a long time. Worm said, "don''t want anything. Just go back?"


    Manda was silent. He didn''t know how to answer. He had lived with dinosaurs for more than 80 years in his last life. His feelings for people were very weak, but if he took all this away from him, he would feel as painful as gouging out meat.


    Once a man breaks the shackles, he will be disgusted with the cage.


    What''s more, after working hard for so long and saving so little money, is it over?


    What can I do if it doesn''t end? Wait here to die?


    In a world dominated by the strong, the fate of the weak is really tragic. Manda rubbed her eyebrows in pain. Suddenly, Ogg came to her, stroked her beard and said, "the great prophet told me that wind and rain are coming. It''s best to hide at home and don''t go anywhere."


    Millo answered downstairs, "the prophet is right."


    Manda smiled bitterly, "the prophet didn''t tell you what we should do?"


    Ogg looked solemn: "the prophet told me that we need weapons."


    Manda stopped laughing. Judging from Ogg''s momentum, he really got the oracle.


    Prometheus reminded them that they needed weapons. Where did they come from?


    Even if it''s an ordinary sword, Manda first thought of God blood stone, a blood blade made of God blood stone!


    Escape or bloody war, with powerful weapons, there is an extra cost of survival after all.


    If you want to use God''s blood stone as a blood blade, you must first have a believer of Hephaestus.


    Manda looked at the iron box in her hand and looked into the yard.


    "Will it be too late to start from entering the stage?"


    Ogg shook his head and said, "the prophet said, it''s not too late. When you don''t know what to do, start with what you can do."


    ……


    In the dungeon of the church, the soldier took off the "wooden boots" from the "poet" feet. His foot bones were smashed by a wooden wedge, and his feet were like two loose cloth bags.


    "I''ll give you another chance," janissa, the high deacon, pulled the poet''s hair. "Accept the Lord''s call and wash away your sins."


    The poet''s lips trembled but he couldn''t speak. He shook his head hard on the punishment chair.


    "You shouldn''t waste so much time on him!" said Hannes. "When you catch all the heretics, tie them to the stake and execute them all."


    "It''s a pity," sighed janissa. "It''s hard to find third-class craftsmen."


    "Instead of regretting for a heretic, think about the two hardest bones," Hannes said. "Let''s talk about Stanley. He has hurt many of us."


    Jennifer said, "tomorrow I''ll release the bait, lure him into the bait, and then kill him."


    "Give me that tavern," said Hannes with a smile. "Some say they killed Kampala, others say they avenged Kampala, and others say deacon Leo Frank served there for a month. It''s a shame for the punisher. I''ll wipe it off myself."


    Chief deacon Brasi looked at LAN and said, "general Pigou, what do you think?"


    LAN shook his head and said, "the old disease has relapsed. My physical condition is very bad. I can only leave things on the battlefield to you."


    Janissa asked, "deacon Amado, what about you?"


    Amado bowed and said, "I obey your wishes."


    ……


    In the corner of the yard, guatel was holding the puppet in a daze.


    This is a puppet that Manda bought from the "poet". He threw it into the warehouse, but it became guatel''s treasure.


    "How on earth did he do it?" guatel said, carefully stroking every joint of the puppet with his saliva. "Hello, what''s your name? You should be a strong young man. Can I be a girl for you? You don''t want my girl? You say my girl is too ugly? It''s not ugly, but it''s a little stupid..."


    "As stupid as you!"


    Seeing Manda standing behind him, guatel immediately hid the puppet in his arms and shouted, "what do you want to do, I won''t go anywhere!"


    Manda wiped the saliva off her face and said with a smile, "do you want to make such a doll?"


    "Yes!" guatel nodded.


    "Do you want to be a believer in ancient gods?"


    "What are the believers of ancient gods?" guatel looked blankly.


    "It may not be fair to you, but there is not so much fairness in this world. Come with me and I''ll take you to a new world."


    Guatel pushed Manda away and said, "didn''t I say I''m not going anywhere!"


    Manda said with a smile, "just go to my room. Although I haven''t been a priest, I''ve finished my promotion. With the help of worm, there should be no problem."
