"You have reached level 4. You should have seen this statue, the real statue of Hermes. Someone gave it to me more than 30 years ago. The man told me that it recorded the method of promoting to level 5,


    The believers of Hermes are too rare to tell the true from the false, but I don''t think that person dare to deceive me. Now I give it to you as a gift for an acquaintance. "


    Manda looked at the statue, and tens of thousands of gold coins appeared in front of her. The statue was real and the dream road to promotion was in front of her.


    "Take it, take it quickly," the minister smiled.


    Manda dare not take it. For the believers of Hermes, the value of this statue is incalculable. He doesn''t know why the government secretary gave it to himself. He wants to hear the conditions of the Government Secretary first.


    "I''ll let you take it." the minister''s smile suddenly disappeared, and Manda quickly held the statue in her hand.


    "That''s right," said the minister, smiling again. "Hermes is a God who advocates fair trade. I''ve offered my price. Now it''s time to talk about business, don''t you think?"


    Manda nodded.


    "Very well, it''s really easy to talk to smart people," said the Minister of state. "It''s a pity that you weren''t there when Howitt died. He was a warrior and died very heroically. He said a word before he died. Do you want to hear it?"


    "Want to hear." Manda dared not listen.


    "He said that he has been trying to maintain peace in the king''s capital and even in the whole kingdom. This is the truth, but he ignored me, and I have been trying. Maybe you have laughed at me more than once, thinking that I am a weak and ignorant fool, and that I have been putting forward some absurd and stupid suggestions to the king, but do you think the weak and ignorant man is really me ？”


    Manda didn''t know what to answer. In fact, he didn''t listen to the Government Secretary at all. He felt that the government secretary might kill him at any time.


    "Why are you so nervous? Look how much sweat you''ve made. Don''t worry. It''s just a deal. I won''t embarrass you," the government secretary handed Manda a handkerchief and smiled. "No matter how many people laughed at me, our kingdom has spent a quiet time. At least the king is very calm, but since you came, the king has become no longer calm."


    "I didn''t do anything." Manda shook her head desperately.


    "Don''t be nervous. I''m just stating the facts and didn''t condemn you. Maybe many things have nothing to do with you, but that''s the truth. I once thought to kill you, but you''re not so easy to deal with. You''re very cunning and cautious. Your majesty likes you. Longerson protects you. I heard you can summon the true God. It''s too risky to kill you, so I thought of a more gentle one "How."


    He didn''t remind. Manda really forgot that he had an old goat.


    The simple altar is in the bedroom. It''s fast enough. Maybe there''s a chance.


    "Don''t always think about fighting with me. We''re just talking about business," the minister saw Manda''s mind again, "I know you want to leave Wangdu, and I have been helping you to leave Wangdu. At least we have reached an agreement on this point. Now I want to say my conditions. If you go, you will go completely and never come back, otherwise I will send you away and go to another world. If I see you in Wangdu again, I will let you disappear from the world at all costs. Listen to me Are you ready? "


    Is the condition so simple? Manda nodded quickly.


    "This is not a joke. You should understand the concept of fair trade. You have the protection of the true God, but I may not give you the opportunity to summon the true God. You broke the promise of fair trade. Even if you are a divine dependant and killed you, Hermes will not blame me. Remember my words. Have a good trip, count munchke."


    When the Minister of state left, Manda held the statue of Hermes and felt the earth spinning.


    If he knew that he had been under the gaze of the government minister, he would never persist in Wangdu until today.


    Late at night, Manda left the king''s capital and watched the majestic city wall fade away. Manda felt that she had found a way to escape from hell.


    He took out a stack of parchment and counted the harvest of the year. He confiscated 360000 gold coins, more than 400 craftsmen, more than 20000 young workers including refugees, as well as a batch of weapons, a large number of grain and a group of women.


    There is still a certain gap from the dream of moving the empty king, but with this family background, Manda can compete with one of the princes.


    There are also three most important gains. First, he won the title of earl. Second, he sent away the artifact of Zeus. The third gain is the statue in his hand. Next, it''s time to prepare for the promotion to the fifth level. First, look at the words on the statue, which seem to be dessalama, ketendipo, ralos... Forget it, or wait until you see Kunta and worm 。


    After the carriage had gone for three days and nights, the ghost and God believer Ke sto who was responsible for driving the carriage was exhausted. He was the only one who stayed with Manda until the end. As a new member of the gang, Manda wanted to test his loyalty.


    Passing by a small town, he wanted to find a place to rest, and Manda agreed.


    But when they arrived in the town, they only saw a piece of ruins. Kesto was about to ask about the situation. Suddenly, a divine Punisher rushed over with blood on his face.


    Judging from the speed, this is a divine punishment warrior, no less than level 3, and started the blood erosion technique.


    Kesto jumped out of the carriage and, with his flexible skills, avoided the sword of the God punished warrior, but he forgot that Manda was still sitting in the car.


    The long sword pierced the carriage and stabbed into Manda''s left chest. Fortunately, Manda launched the stolen "body of nothingness", which turned the left half of his body into a nothingness form. Otherwise, he could not escape the sword in such a small space.


    The long sword of the divine Punisher was stuck in the carriage. Taking this opportunity, Manda jumped out of the car, cut off the right hand of the divine Punisher with a golden finger, wound around the back of the other party and cut his neck while the other party was unable to resist under severe pain.


    Manda shook off the blood on her hand and said to Cousteau, "you''re not loyal enough."


    "Big, my Lord, I have no choice."


    "If Pluto were here, he would fight to protect me."


    "My Lord, I thought so."


    Manda was about to beat up kersto, but he saw a man leading dozens of soldiers. The dead Punisher ran here under their pursuit. He wanted to rob Manda''s carriage, but he didn''t expect to meet a more terrible opponent.


    The man came to Manda and asked, "who are you? What does it have to do with this divine Punisher?"


    In order to avoid people''s eyes and ears, after leaving the king''s capital, Manda changed into civilian clothes and removed the family emblem on the carriage. It''s understandable that Manda is an aristocrat, but the man''s question is too stupid. What else can Manda have to do with killing the divine Punisher?


    "I''m a passing businessman. This man came to attack me. In a hurry, I killed him with the wrong hand."


    "Wrong hand?" the man smiled. "Can you kill him to prove that you are a capable person and are willing to join my team? As long as you kill a hundred divine punishers, I can become a baron. Then you will all become my knights. This is the king''s promise!"


    The king''s order was conveyed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, the war of the king''s capital had evolved into a national war.


    Manda refused the other party''s invitation: "I have to rush to do a business. His head is left to you. Let''s say goodbye."


    The man said, "this man is very unusual. He is a third-order divine punishment warrior. One head is worth more than 30. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"


    "Take it as a gift. We''ll see you later."


    The man didn''t continue to pester Manda. He cut off the head of the punisher and returned with the people. When he left, he gave Manda a piece of advice: "young man, forget your business. This is a great opportunity to make achievements."


    When trouble came, it was a good opportunity. Manda jumped into the carriage and left the town with kersto.
