Leond''s first-order skill is called dark roar. Its effect is almost the same as Stanley''s second-order skill, but its power is slightly worse.


    His second-order skill is called pain roar. It has the same effect as Stanley''s third-order skill pain, but it is also slightly less powerful.


    The three headed dog is the watchdog of hell and the pet of Hades. Leond is like a low profile believer of Hades. Now he wants to apply the pain from hell to the lioness.


    If the roar of pain still can''t make the lioness yield, he will use the fire of hell. This is not a skill, but a sacrificial spell. He believes that the lioness can''t resist the pain. As long as the lioness is willing to swear allegiance to Manda in front of the Sphinx statue, even if he completes the task, he always believes that this is the only way to save the lioness.


    But after three days of torture, lioness didn''t give in. Leond had to give her to Manda.


    When Manda came to the room, the lion girl bound by the stone chain gave off a suffocating smell. The blood and unidentified objects all over her body made this once peerless beauty ugly.


    Manda stood in front of the lioness for a long time. The lioness was a little confused. She didn''t recognize him until she saw Manda for a long time.


    Her mind didn''t change at all. She struggled in the stone chain and just wanted to fight with Manda.


    If Manda dies, he is not sure how many people can shed tears for themselves, but he is sure that there is no such person as lioness who is willing to give his life for his dead self.


    Such a man deserves more secrets entrusted by the count, both about the gods and the king. These secrets are exactly what Manda wants to know, but now she can''t pry open the lion girl''s mouth.


    And Manda appreciates the lion girl''s tenacious vitality. When tortured like this, swearing is still very powerful.


    He decided to give the lioness a chance to live.


    This opportunity is to take advantage of her demigod divinity.


    "Guess a riddle. If you guess right, I''ll let you go. If you guess wrong, you must listen to me."


    The lioness was stunned, then she laughed and said, "is this sarcasm at me?"


    Manda didn''t laugh. She said solemnly, "this is not sarcasm, it''s respect for the demigod."


    "Don''t go around in such a big circle. For the sake of saving your life, kill me!"


    "You saved my life because I was still valuable, and I helped you win the war. I don''t owe you anything," Manda said calmly. "The riddle determines life and death is the rule of Sphinx. Don''t you even want to abide by this rule? You left all your loyalty to the count, and where did you put the gods?"


    The lioness smiled and said, "your tongue is still so clever. Tell me, what''s your riddle?"


    Manda said, "there is a fire that burns on you, but your enemy dies. What fire is this?"


    "Fire of the underworld," Sphinx said perfunctorily.


    "Tell me your reason?"


    "You don''t need a reason. The fire is very strong. Just look at the scars on me."


    "You answered wrong." Manda shook her head.


    "Really?" said the lioness with a grim smile, "then kill me quickly!"


    "You are the only messenger of Sphinx in the world. You are always under the gaze of the gods. You are so perfunctory to the riddle. This behavior is a blasphemy to the gods. How can I let a blasphemer die easily?


    I''ll give you another chance to think about it. Don''t let the gods torture you in hell. I''m afraid he will torture the count by more cruel means, because your blasphemy comes from loyalty to him. "


    "Don''t talk nonsense. It has nothing to do with the count," said the lioness thoughtfully. "I''ve seen the magic of Vulcan believers. The flame burns on his fingertips and then burns on the enemy. That''s the answer to the question."


    "You are wrong again. The flame you said still burns on the enemy and finally burns the enemy."


    Sphinx remained silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "you lied to me, there is no answer at all."


    Manda said, "what if there is an answer?"


    The lioness laughed wildly and said, "if there is an answer, I will do whatever you want me to do!"


    "Good!" said Manda approvingly. "I want you to stay with me for five years. In five years, don''t betray me or disobey me!"


    The lioness nodded and said, "I promise you, but I must hear a satisfactory answer."


    "It''s hatred," Manda smiled. "The fire of hatred burns on you, and your enemy will be killed by you. Is my answer satisfactory to you?"


    The lioness was stunned for a long time. She couldn''t find any fault with Manda''s answer.


    And what Manda said just now made her feel a little hope.


    "Live well. Five years later, our contract ends. If the fire of your hatred is still burning, I''ll wait for you to avenge the count at any time."


    That night, the lioness promised to submit to Manda and vowed in front of the Sphinx statue that she would never betray in five years.


    Manda knew that sphinx was not really submissive. She was waiting for a chance of revenge.


    However, as a demigod, the lioness will abide by her oath. She can''t have no bottom line like old yaman. She shouldn''t fight Manda within five years. After five years, if the fire of her hatred hasn''t been extinguished, Manda can only reunite her with the count.


    Werm thinks Manda''s approach is very unwise: "leaving Sphinx with you is tantamount to hanging a sword around your neck."


    Manda nodded and said, "it''s not a bad thing to leave a sword near our neck. We''ll live a very comfortable life soon. Remember to be vigilant at all times."


    "Ease?" Werm always had difficulty adapting to the words created by Manda.


    "Soon you will know that the place we are going to will make you forget the troubles of the world."


    Two days later, Manda left the haze valley with worm, Kunta, yodora and sangira sisters.


    There are two first-class believers in the valley who want to follow Manda. Pluto dare not stop, but Manda didn''t accept it.


    Before Pluto had a firm foothold, Manda didn''t want to dig into his corner, and for Manda, the believers of tephon didn''t have much value.


    More importantly, it takes time and hardships to make Manda really trust a person.


    At dawn, Manda led six carriages to meet Ogg and Toka at the valley exit. He followed the guide to Tieshan town and arrived at his manor at dusk.


    According to the speed of the motorcade, the manor is one day away from the valley. If you ride a fast horse, you can arrive in most of the day. If you run all the way at Manda''s speed, it won''t even take half a day.


    The manor was built on the edge of Tieshan town. At the entrance, there was a huge stone slab engraved with the name of the former owner.


    The guide said with a dry smile, "the Viscount is in a hurry. I''ll have the slate polished tomorrow and change your name."


    "Don''t worry, let me see first." Manda saw his familiar surname on the slate.


    "Is this the Pedros estate?" asked Manda.


    "Yes, sir. The last owner of the manor was Lord facado Pedros. Have you heard of him?"


    "Yes, of course." Manda smiled.


    I''ve heard more than that. In the memory of the original owner, this is an old acquaintance.


    The Pedros family is the family of Baroness attia, and Lord facardo Pedros is the father-in-law of Baron Claude. Although Manda''s identity is not recognized, in a sense, facardo Pedros is Manda''s grandfather.


    Unexpectedly, I bought grandpa''s manor. I don''t know if it''s a coincidence or Sorens intended to do it.


    The Pedros family is the richest man in the town. Grandpa sold a manor, which means he may be in a bad situation.


    It''s also possible that he saw a better place, but it doesn''t matter. What matters is that Manda saw the name of "Grandpa", which made him feel more cordial.


    "Don''t hurry to erase the name from the slate and leave it for a few more days to let everyone know that Lord Pedros sold me the manor."
