Tarred grabbed Nobu''s hair and slapped him in the face.


    "You brought this bastard! Who the hell is he!"


    Norbu didn''t dare to hide, scream, or resist. He was beaten to bleed in the nose and even didn''t dare to hum.


    "Say! Who''s that bastard? Say!" taled wanted to press Nobu''s head into the fire pool. Suddenly, he heard old Amber''s scream from the inner hall.


    Tared was so frightened that he let go of Nobu. Nobu stood shivering beside the fire pool and still didn''t dare to escape.


    The sound of the inner hall was intermittent and gradually disappeared. Tared instinctively retreated a few steps and watched Toka slowly come out of the darkness.


    Seeing the blood on Toka, tarred guessed what had happened, but he couldn''t believe that his father who had killed countless children would die in the hands of one child.


    Instinctively, he scolded, "bastard!"


    Before the words fell, Toka jumped up and punched tared on the nose.


    I didn''t expect that the child under the age of 10 was as strong as his father. The punch broke tared''s nose bone. Tared fell on his back and howled.


    Toka came up to her and said with a smile, "stand up!"


    With that, he kicked taled on the chest. Taled covered his chest and coughed for a long time. Worried about being beaten again, he quickly stood up.


    All the children present are familiar with this scene. They should stand up immediately after being knocked down. This is tared''s rule. Unexpectedly, this rule will be punished on him tonight.


    Before he could stand firm, Toka jumped up and punched again.


    "Stand up!"


    Tared struggled to get up, and Toka kicked again.


    "Stand up..."


    Before Toka finished, tared immediately stood up. Just now this kick kicked him into the fire pond. With the previous burns, he didn''t have much good meat.


    Toka turned to Norbu and said, "tie him up!"


    Nobu bit his teeth, wiped the blood from his face, found a rope and tied tarred to the stone pillar with another child.


    Toka went to taled. Taled cried hoarse and wailed, "I beg you, spare me. My father has a lot of money. I know where it is. I''ll take you to get it!"


    Toka nodded and said, "not only do you want to take the money, you have to answer me a few questions. If you answer correctly, I can spare you. The night before yesterday, a group of people went to a house next to the market. Who are they? What are they doing there?"


    Tared said, "that''s Zeus''s meeting. I heard my father say that the meeting is held every ten days. People participating in the meeting can get two pounds of bread. He told me not to tell anyone that I would cut my tongue."


    "Who organized the rally? Aren''t they afraid of the punisher?"


    "I don''t know. I really don''t know. My father has only been there once. He only said that to me."


    Seeing his appearance and not having the courage to lie, Toka nodded and said, "tell me where the gold is and I''ll let you go."


    "My father has a house in the east of the city. They all know where the house is. There is a vegetable cellar in the house. There is a cellar under the vegetable cellar. There are gold coins in the cellar. I''ll give you a lot of good things in the future..."


    The oldest girl stood up and said, "I''ve been to that house. I know where the cellar is."


    The girl blushed. Toka knew what had happened to her. He turned to taled and said, "I mean what I say. I can let you go, but I don''t know if they are willing to let you go."


    Tared''s face turned white. Toka took out his short knife and said to the children, "anyone who wants to cut him, come here and line up!"


    The children blinked and didn''t dare to respond. Finally, Nobu rushed up first. He took the knife from Toka''s hand and walked to tared with trembling.


    Tared begged, "I''m good to you, nob. I seldom hit you. Did you forget? I''m good to you!"


    Nobu summoned up his courage and cut taled in the thigh, because he closed his eyes when waving the knife, which was not deep.


    Toka recorded this scene. He was a brave man. Manda should like such a person.


    More than a dozen children rushed up and took turns to cut at tared with a knife. One child was very decisive. He cut off tared''s neck with a knife without blinking. His name was Carlo. He was a man who could make a big deal.


    Toka stood on the stone steps and shouted at the children: "from now on, we are free, no longer hungry, no longer beaten, no longer bullied. Shout with me, thank the great Apollo for giving us courage and strength, thank the great Hermes for giving us the value of life!"


    Moyla, hiding in the dark, smiled. The boy didn''t forget to do some private work for himself.


    In the childish cries of the children, Toka heard the response of the gods, which meant that the experience bar was full and he got the chance of promotion.


    ……


    Manda''s experience bar has also grown a lot, almost one tenth.


    After listening to Toka''s report, Manda began to analyze the information.


    Someone held a meeting of Zeus in the north of the city. It is obvious that this person is a believer of Zeus. He is accumulating meritorious deeds for himself in order to get a chance for promotion.


    Combined with the previous signs, this person is likely to be the king himself, which means that the king is a believer of Zeus.


    Based on this conclusion, Manda has a bold idea, but this idea can''t be too hasty. What to do in the future is to stay away from the north of the city as far as possible to avoid angering the king.


    As for the children, Manda is going to send them to the seven star mountain. First, in order to keep secrets, and second, she can accumulate a wave of population. Although there are only dozens of children, in terms of the current situation of seven star mountain, they just belong to the age fault. According to Toka''s description, there are many available people among them, and they can show the power of this generation in a few years.


    Three days later, cheerdan completed the task ahead of schedule and returned to the official residence.


    The road was found, and there was an official road leading to the begmia mountain.


    There used to be a rich town at the foot of the begmia mountain. Twenty years ago, a plague broke out in the town, almost all the residents in the town died, and the official road leading to the town was abandoned. Because there were few pedestrians and there were almost no mountain thieves on the way, it was basically an absolutely safe road for Manda.


    Manda was very satisfied with cheerdan''s performance and recorded a fifth class merit for him. However, he didn''t expect that cheerdan''s harvest was more than that. He also found two important clues.


    "I saw two luxurious houses near Wangdu. I learned from the local people that one belongs to the government minister and the other belongs to the new interior minister."


    The news is valuable, but Manda is still not in a hurry. The previous incident has just subsided. He is ready to let the two ministers save more gold coins for him for a period of time.


    Another piece of news is more valuable.


    "On the way back, I met two teams of divine punishers who sent taxes to the cathedral."


    "Tithes?" Manda was stunned. "Shouldn''t tithes be levied at the beginning of the year?"


    "At the beginning of the year, the war triggered by gassac had just ended, and the turmoil in various places had not subsided. The church was busy restoring its power and had no time to take into account the tax collection, so it didn''t send the tax to the king''s capital until now."


    Met two teams of divine punishers, which proved that all cities were transporting taxes to the king''s capital. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Manda immediately gave up her plan to settle for a period of time.


    He drew a map on parchment and marked several important roads.


    Cheerdan immediately understood his intention: "do you want to rob the punisher? No one has ever dared to do so."


    "That''s great. I''d love to be the first," Manda said, throwing aside the quill pen and pointing to the map. "Call everyone and we''ll do a good job."
