Manda''s words left Kunta speechless. As Manda said, each of them was taking risks, including Kunta himself.
At the beginning, he hid many things for Manda. Even if one thing was known to the count, he could not escape death.
Among all the people, the most adventurous is Manda. From dealing with Kampala to fighting the punisher in front of the dungeon, to fighting the count to the death, dancing on the blade is really not a joke. Manda has spelled out everything today with her own life.
Kunta stopped arguing. He promised to host the ascent sacrifice for Toka and Tira in five days. During this period, he could do one thing to test the remedy of loss on himself
According to the records in the book of priests, believers who fall into a loss will first have some physical and mental changes, then their soul and flesh will gradually split, and finally slowly fall into the chaos of CAOS. However, if they are remedied in time, the final fall can be avoided, and the resulting changes have a certain chance to recover, provided that believers can obtain the forgiveness of their own God.
Kunta''s body changed because of the wrong sacrifice. He sacrificed to Athena with olive leaves according to the method in the book, and calmed the anger of glaux, the God of prophecy in the sea, with Athena''s wisdom and majesty.
He completed the ceremony, but there was no change in his body. After analysis, Kunta believes that there should be three reasons.
First, he got the understanding of the God, but his body has changed for too long and lost the possibility of recovery.
Second, the ceremony received Athena''s response, but glaux refused to forgive himself.
Third, the ceremony failed and did not receive any response from the gods.
The first is the most optimistic answer. Although you can''t change the ghost, at least Toka can be saved. If it''s the second result, you can at least beg for the mercy of the gods. If it''s the third result, you can only listen to fate
Another two days will be the day of Toka''s sacrifice. Kunta told worm about it. He knew the relationship between worm and Toka. If worm wanted to escape with Toka, Kunta was even willing to provide necessary help.
But Werm was surprisingly calm. He only made a request and gave Toka a choice. He took Kunta and told Toka the truth, but he didn''t tell Linda. He knew Linda wouldn''t risk his son.
Toka replied without hesitation, "I do."
Kunta frowned and said, "little guy, maybe I haven''t understood what I mean. I''d better speak more clearly..."
"No," Toka shook her head. "I know what you mean, but I can''t say what I mean."
Toka lifted his clothes, pointed to the scars on his body and said, "this is beaten by the owner''s family when doing short-time work, by people when begging, by the God punished Sergeant officer, and by the robbers who broke into the tavern. I don''t want to be beaten all my life."
Kunta lost his temper again. The seven year old boy was a little confused, but it was such a simple truth that Kunta couldn''t refute.
Worm said, "I can protect you."
Toka shook her head and said, "if you''re not with me, who should I hide behind?"
Werm said no more, Kunta nodded silently and began to prepare sacrifices for Toka and Tilla.
The sacrifices of the main god believers are very rare, and there is no black market in Tieshan town. Manda can only ask the old goat for help.
As soon as the old goat changed his previous generosity, he offered two high-level sacrifices, each offering 500 gold coins.
At least something can be bought. Manda gritted her teeth and took out a thousand gold coins. When asked about the method of entering the rank of mountain god Uriah, the old goat shrugged and said, "the original gods are too secret, and what I know is very limited."
"No corresponding books? Or stone statues?"
"Maybe," laughed the old goat. "The time when the primitive gods created the world is tens of thousands of years ago. I may not know more than you."
Manda asked about Titan again, but the old goat still didn''t want to say more.
"Titan takes great care of his own blood and doesn''t need you to worry about it. I suggest you stay away from the believers of Titan. The hatred between the LORD God and Titan has never subsided. Our God is gentle and friendly, but we can''t stay out of it."
The old goat spared no words, and Manda dared not ask more. He could feel that the old goat had an unimaginable personality. As for the indifferent attitude, there must be some unknown reasons behind it. It''s best not to entangle too much before finding some clues.
After completing the sacrifice, Manda had just handed the sacrifice to Kunta, but Silva ran nervously and said, "Baron Claude''s guard came and said to summon you immediately."
"Summon?" a baron did have the right to summon a civilian, but the word made Manda feel very harsh.
"Tell them I''m not at the manor and let them come back later."
Silva said, "how long do you want them to wait?"
"In a month''s time," said Manda with a smile, "I think the Baron should understand what I mean."
Silva went out to deal with the Baron''s guard. Quinta took the opportunity to ask, "is that your father? Do you still hate him?"
"I don''t hate at all," Manda shook her head. "I''m a tolerant person."
"Really?" Kunta blinked her big eyes.
"Of course it''s false," Manda said with a smile after taking a sip of wine. "If you hate someone, you can''t make him hurt, let alone let him die. It will only make yourself painful. I won''t hate him, I will make him hate me, and let his family hate me. They can''t help but suffer."
……
Baron Claude Sai frowned when he heard that Craig munchke was not at the manor. He asked someone to dig Manda''s grave yesterday. He had always believed that it was Manda''s bones, but now he has some doubts. His father-in-law Lord Pedros is a smart man. He should not admit his mistake when he met Manda.
"Where can the boy go? I heard he saw Baron Madsen yesterday. Did he leave last night?"
Baron claudesai was muttering to herself. Baroness Atia couldn''t help drinking: "he hasn''t gone anywhere. He''s in the manor. He just doesn''t want to see you! Take your guards and pull the bastard out of the Manor!"
The Baron shook his head and said, "it''s still too reckless. We''re not sure who he is."
"What does it matter who he is? He''s just a civilian! Are you afraid of him? Look at your son, tortured by that bastard? Have you forgotten this shame and hatred!"
The Baron was silent. His son fox was flogging a new maid downstairs. The maid couldn''t help crying out when she saw fox at first sight. Fox didn''t wear a mask and showed terrible scars on his face.
The next morning, Baron claudesey received a message. He saw that Craig munchke had sent one of viscount Sorens''s knights to the door of the manor and brought him a load of wine.
"As like as two peas, I told you, this bastard deceived you!" Al-attiya roared. "Our servant saw him. He was the bastard. It looked exactly like him."
Baron Claude said gritting his teeth, "this is not just deception, but also a humiliation to me. Call the guards together!"
