Old goat once sold three Styx islands to Manda at a very low price, which also made Manda misunderstand the value of Styx islands.


    Styx islands are very precious and rare. Amado spent 14000 gold coins to buy an island. The price sounds amazing, but in fact, he picked up a big bargain. Some people can''t buy 100000 gold coins.


    In the whole Roma country, there are no more than ten people with Styx islands. Even the king has only two islands in his hand. He refused to tell anyone the password. Therefore, the two islands can not be used for communication, but only for storing important items.


    Former Archbishop Howitt also has an island, which is said to contain many precious gods, but only he himself knows the password.


    Bucken also needed a Styx island. Amado just sent it up, and he won bucken''s trust.


    Bucken was very tolerant to his smart subordinates. He didn''t take Amado''s Island, and he didn''t have time to deal with these trifles. He left the island to Amado to complete some special tasks.


    Now Manda wants the island, and LAN resolutely refuses, not because of the value of the island, but because there are important letters in the island. Before the war, bucken just sent a letter to Amado. I don''t know if the other party has received it.


    Lan thought very clearly that no matter what conditions Manda offered, he could not compromise. Compromise would only bring greater losses, and he firmly believed that Manda would never let him leave alive.


    It''s no use letting him leave alive. He has to bear not only the shame of being captured, but also the crime of apostasy. Bucken will find him, execute him, and then tell the Pope to write the name of LAN Pigou in the Scripture as a model of shame.


    Rather than this, it''s better to retain the last bit of dignity and be a tough man who would rather die than surrender.


    But the wolf general vaturo, who was captured together, didn''t think so. He didn''t think so much. He just wanted to live.


    "I know this. I know the island. I''m worried that Lan Pigou has something to hide from me. I asked my men to eavesdrop on his password. There are 14 sentences in total, and I know eight of them."


    "You''re really patient with a fourteen sentence password," Manda shook her head. "But only eight sentences are useless. Only a complete password can open the island. General vaturo, you''re not helping me."


    Vaturo struggled to get up. Moira came forward and kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel back again.


    "Lord munchke, I know something else. About Roman Wilkins, he wants to attack your territory. An army sent from the king will support him. That army is coming!"


    Manda pretended to be stunned and said, "is there such a thing?"


    Who would have thought that the army had disappeared.


    "It''s true, Lord count, their Archbishop bucken also said that they would establish a sacred place in grey fish town, make Roman Wilkins a sacred messenger and let him conquer the whole southwest..."


    Vaturo finally said something Manda didn''t know, but Rahn interrupted him: "enough! Stop talking! You gave up the dignity of nobility and martial man, and swayed like a dog in front of the enemy. What''s the point even if you live?"


    Vaturo shook his head and said, "sorry, my friend, I don''t think the same as you. It''s meaningless to die. Living is the most important meaning."


    LAN angrily said, "you were captured and gave in to the enemy. Will your king let you go?"


    Manda smiled and said, "general Pigou, that''s not what you said. Although you were captured, you escaped Blackwater with wisdom and courage. This kind of thing can be forgiven."


    "How can we escape..." Lan understood Manda''s meaning, but he could only pretend to be stupid.


    Vaturo couldn''t help it; "Lord munchke, do you mean that you are willing to let us go?"


    Manda deliberately covered her eyes and said, "I didn''t mean to let you go. Maybe my subordinates were negligent."


    "Yes, I''m negligent," said vaturo, nodding hard. "Just after the war, I''m very tired. It''s inevitable that I will be negligent."


    Rahn shouted, "will you believe this when you are the wolf king? Being captured is being captured. As long as you leave alive, it will prove that you have betrayed your kingdom!"


    Manda then said, "we go to war after dark. You return to the camp before dawn. As long as you take care of your subordinates, no one even knows that you are captured."


    "Thank you, merciful Lord munchke!" vaturo cried excitedly. "I am willing to say everything I know!"


    "Don''t believe him!" cried LAN, gritting his teeth. He shouted to vaturo and himself.


    Manda''s words have been echoing in her ears: "no one even knows that you are captured."


    This sentence loosened Lan''s heart.


    Manda got up and said, "I swear to the ancient gods that as long as you do what I say, I will let you go before dawn."


    ……


    At dawn, Rahn and vaturo left Blackwater on their horses.


    Rahn compromised. He said the password of Styx island. Manda got the letter that Amado had not received from the island.


    In fact, Rahn need not be so nervous. The letter only briefly introduces the situation in Blackwater city and does not mention too many valuable things.


    Before leaving, Manda told LAN: "from now on, you can''t open this island without my permission. As long as you open it, I will know. At that time, the secret between us will spread all over the kingdom."


    Back at the camp, vaturo was busy making up lies, saying that they took advantage of the chaotic war situation, quietly sneaked into Blackwater City, inquired about many important secrets, and made a military law: "Whoever dares to divulge this matter will be killed without amnesty!"


    Rahn plunged into the camp. He just wanted to have a good sleep and escape from the cruel reality for a short time.


    He was captured, became a traitor, and is now used by the enemy as an accomplice in deceiving the archbishop.


    What happened last night was challenging his conscience and bottom line. When he woke up, he decided to send Amado a letter and tell all the facts.


    The letter was written, but when he was about to open the Styx Island, he hesitated again.


    Manda''s words are still in his ears. As long as he opens the Styx Island, Manda will know.


    Will he really know? Will he make public what happened last night?


    Ten thousand possibilities emerged in his mind, but if things were revealed, there would be only one result, and his life would end in the most tragic way.


    "Merciful Lord, please guide me..." Lan closed his eyes and prayed silently to the Lord of punishment.


    But he prayed until dusk, and he didn''t get the revelation of the Lord. God punished the Lord too many believers. It seems that he has no time to respond to Rahn.


    Finally, he made his own decision.


    He picked up the letter he had just written and threw it into the fire. He murmured, "nidali, I curse you to go to hell."


    ……


    Manda sneezed, rubbed her nose and said to chuyt, "I really admire your ability. It looks flawless."


    "There are marks on the paper and the letter box, but it can''t hide from my eyes," chuyt sealed the letter box and handed it to Manda. "But I''m afraid LAN Pigou will break through us."


    Manda shrugged her eyebrows and said, "why did he do that? Is he dead?"


    "I heard from General Stanley that he is a man with bones."


    "It''s the same as gambling. No matter how hard you get into the game, your bones will soften," Manda got up and stretched. "If you don''t gamble at the beginning, I can''t take him. When you lose money and want to turn over the money, he will only lose more and more. Southwest is a good place. This place will soon belong to me."
